Principal Jiang's house

Principal Jiang's house is very old, with some of the tone of the cloth bag courtyard in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, with blue tiles and white walls, and cornices. The www.biquge.info is facing the towering door of the house, and on both sides of the house are the Spring Festival couplets written by her, which is where she and Tian Ye live, and enter the hall through the open door, and in the room on the left hand side of the hall house, Jiang is busy helping her grandson pack things.

"Ono, when you go home, you can reunite with your father and don't lose your temper anymore, you know?"

"Grandma, I don't want to go back. Tian Ye leaned his back against the door and watched his grandmother busy by the cupboard.

"I still have to go back to spend the New Year with your father, and it would be nice to let him send you over after the New Year. ”

Tian Ye put his hands in his coat pockets, his back against the door panel, and kicked a small pebble under his feet, intentionally or unintentionally, and was silent.

In the high hall of the hall, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a round face was sitting on the Taishi chair, holding an enamel water cup with the words 'serve the people' printed on it. This man's hair is not very dense, it can be said that it is very thin, and the thin cropped bangs are all combed to the top of the head and droops, making it look like the whole head is more round. He took a sip of tea from an enamel cup, raised his head, his eyebrows were messy, his face was large and his nose was small, his nose was sharp, his mouth was small/his lips were thin, and his eyes were high and sharp.

"Xiaowei, now that the country is building water conservancy, these reservoirs under my hands must be done well, what is the situation on the Xihe Reservoir now?"

This little guard, wearing yellow military civilian clothes, a military hat inlaid with red five stars, and a pair of wide-rimmed glasses on his face, replied seriously,

"Since the accident, the migrant workers on the Xihe dam have not been very motivated, and sometimes there is resistance, and it is estimated that the construction period will be extended. ”

"That's not good, we have to finish it on time, no, we have to finish it ahead of schedule, I heard that the migrant worker who had the accident happened to be in this village, and you will go to visit on my behalf later, which is also an explanation." ”

"Yes," Xiao Wei saluted and went out.

The people of Graphite Village had long heard that there were city leaders coming to their village today, and they surrounded Qingfeng Valley early, wanting to have the demeanor of the city officials. After waiting for a long time, I saw a young man with red lips and white teeth appear in Taniguchi, followed by Secretary Lu of the brigade.

"This is the big leader, so young. ”

"This is what others say about young people wearing an apron (young and promising)"

"What do you think they're here for?"

"I don't know yet, I heard that Xing Dafu had an accident in the Xihe Reservoir, and I guess I came here for this. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I heard that he died, and today I came to send the funeral expenses. ”

"Ah, aren't these three children guilty of iniquity (the southern evil is pitiful). ”

Balabala, the onlookers and melon-eating crowds were in full swing, but the three little ones who had been waiting in their yards for a long time were very nervous. Xing Youliang held his sister Xing Youyou with one hand, and led his younger brother Xing Youqian with his other nervous and sweaty hand, looked around the yard, and finally saw someone coming.

Xiao Wei stood in this courtyard for a while, in front of him was a dilapidated thatched house, three small children held together, the eldest was less than ten years old, the younger one was estimated to be at most one year old, with patches on their bodies, looking at their appearances were not bad, especially the youngest baby, the small appearance was still really cute, but the expressions on their faces were too nervous,

Xiao Wei sat on a wooden stool and beckoned to the three children,

"Children, don't be nervous, my surname is Wei, you can call me Uncle Wei. ”

The children did not approach or answer, Secretary Lu spoke,

"There is food, you have to answer what the leader asks you. ”

Xing Youliang took his younger brother's hand tightly and asked, "Uncle Wei, my father and him, have you found it?"

After asking, the three children held their breath, for fear of missing even a word.

"Your father, he was not found, we searched for a whole month and did not find it, in order to let the workers on the construction site work with peace of mind, from tomorrow we can only announce the death of your father, this is,,"

When Assistant Wei was about to take out the pension from his coat pocket, the torture had food and shouted,

"No, no, my father is not dead, you have not found my father, how can you tell others that he is dead. Xing Youliang shouted and shouted and turned into a crying voice, causing Xing Youqian to cry too.

Secretary Lu looked at Xing Youliang's emotions out of control, and quickly pulled him over and scolded,

"There is food, what kind of attitude do you have? Looking at the tearful appearance of the torture Youliang, his expression softened again, and he continued,

"We just announced to the outside world, according to what we learned in Xihe Town, it is also possible that your father is still alive, in Xihe Zheng, someone recently said that he saw a person floating away downstream, and some people said that someone who looked like your father had been to Xihe Town to catch up. ”

"Really, Uncle Lu, you didn't lie to me. Xing Youliang asked in a choked voice.

Assistant Wei: "Of course he didn't lie to you, but these news can't be confirmed, now the construction period of the Xihe Reservoir has been delayed, in order to stabilize the mood of the workers, we can only quickly understand this matter, you take these things first." ”

Assistant Wei said as he pulled out a stack of money and tickets.

"This stack is the money and food stamps that your father deserves, and this stack is the pension that the city gives you, with 200 yuan and some tickets. ”

The punishment has put away his father's share, but he refuses to accept the pension.

"My dad didn't die, I don't want the money. ”

Secretary Lu: "Silly boy, this is what you deserve, you see that your younger brothers and sisters are so young, if you don't accept it, what will you live on in the future." ”

Xing Youliang looked at his younger brothers and sisters, and said,

"Youqian, little sister, my father is not dead, we can't collect this money, my brother will take good care of you in the future. ”

Xing Youqian looked at his brother's firm eyes and nodded, "Well, Dad is not dead." ”

Xing Youyou stretched out his little hand, gently hugged Xing Youliang's neck, and leaned on his head, as if comforting.

Principal Jiang's courtyard

"What, and the people who send money and refuse to accept it?"

"Yes, Director, I won't accept it no matter how much I persuade you."

"Don't forget it, anyway, we are also fighting for a good reputation by the way, as long as the people see it. ”
