Volume 1 Ten Years of Silence Chapter 4 The Struggle between the People and the Officials (2)

"Let's not talk about whether there is anyone to be this thorn, but now that the deadline for delivering grain has arrived, you, the village chief, have not played a leading and exemplary role!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I will take the lead immediately!" the uncle hurriedly answered!

"It's useless for you to take the lead, I don't think anyone in the village takes you seriously! I think it's good for your father to take the lead! I heard that everyone in a radius knows it!"

Grandpa Chen Xiao still has three sons who have not been separated, so he also has to pay food for three people!

"My dad, his old man, who was a soldier or a party member, will definitely cooperate with the work and will not lag behind!"

"Then hurry up and lead us over!" What are you doing in a daze!" Li Tianming said impatiently!

Watching the uncle lead the people to his grandfather's house, Chen Xiao arrived at his grandfather's house ahead of schedule! Thinking about it, he had to make a fire, if his grandfather took the lead in handing over the grain, the others would definitely not be able to escape! This effort would be in vain! I still spent money to buy candy by myself!

"Milk, I'll pour this dishwashing water for you!" Seeing grandma washing dishes, Chen Xiao thought about it!

Chen Xiao's grandfather's house has a section uphill, although he can't see where the people are, estimating their footsteps, Chen Xiao took out a basin of dishwashing water and splashed it out!

"Who the poured the water, blind the dog's eyes" After a few seconds, I saw a little brother of Li Tianming running up in a few steps and scolding!

"I'm sorry" Looking at the miserable appearance, Chen Xiao couldn't bear to laugh! And the uncle also became a victim, Chen Xiao could only accompany him silently in his heart!

"I'm sorry, I guess I didn't see it! Don't be like a child!" Seeing that it was Chen Xiao's "good deed", the uncle hurriedly made amends! For fear that Li Tianming would start a fire!

"You kid can't take a few more steps when you pour water?" Look at this ......" Seeing that Li Tianming's clothes were almost wet, and there was a lot of mud on his pants!

"Hurry up and take it off and wash it," the uncle said as he tried to flick off the rice grains on Chen Tianming's face with his hands!

"Go away" and push the uncle away! I thought: I want to take it off and wash it, why should I take it off and put it on? I can't go naked!

If this was done by a young man, he would inevitably be beaten by a fat meal, but it was a child, Li Tianming could only smash his teeth and swallow it into his stomach!

The grandmother who heard the news hurriedly took out a towel and handed it to the uncle!

"Rub, come and rub"

Someone's farce has finally subsided, and then naturally gets into the topic!

"Dad, these comrades are comrades from the grain station, and they are here to urge food today!" the uncle introduced.

"Surrender! Since ancient times, you have to pay grain for farming, and it is justified!"

"The old man is so bright!" Li Tianming didn't seem to expect it to be so smooth, and the unhappiness in his heart before was swept away!

After a small talk, it was time for lunch! Li Tianming also offered to help carry the grain to the grain station and turn around and issue a ticket!

Chen Xiao looked at this group of people and had no intention of leaving, thinking that this was to rub food! and help carry food, this must be a cat! It seems that another fire should be added to make the fox leak its tail!

"Master, it's noon, stop talking! People may have other things to do! Let's not stay. ”

"It's noon, stay for a light meal!" the uncle hurriedly rounded up and squinted at the eldest nephew. I thought to myself, what happened to the usually sensible child today?

"I won't eat the rice, let's put the grain on the scales first, and then we'll go to the grain station with our hands on our backs!" Li Tianming naturally won't really stay to eat! Having said that, I don't know why I'm going to pick people up! When did I get angry like this, I thought to myself that in the past, this kind of flat-headed common people were polite to me, and they were well fed and entertained! As a result, today I met a strange person! The tiger is not powerful, and I am really a sick cat!

"I'm so sorry! I'm still bothering you to help!" said the uncle, helping to load the food!

"Old man, you can't do this food!" Li Tianming grabbed a handful of wheat!

"This grain...... Is there any problem? How many times has this grain been dried, and there is no sand!" the uncle asked!

"You are Chen Liang! There is a rule at the grain station: two catties of stale grain is worth one catty!" Li Tianming smiled playfully!

"Does the grain station have such a rule? Why don't we know!"

"Where are the rules? take it out and take a look!" Chen Xiao received.

"Can you casually show you the rules? If you don't want to arrive, then pay new food!"

"New grain? There is no harvest in the field this year, how can there be new grain!" "The sixth uncle is also anxious!

"Then I don't care, can I resist it?

The uncle, who wanted to say something good again, was pushed back by this tough attitude!

"Arrive, arrive!" Grandpa Chen Xiao finally spoke! Because he understood that since ancient times, the people could not fight officials!

"Master, no! You can't let them have a black and white mouth! If you can't come up with a rule, you can't take away this grain today!" Chen Xiao tried her best to persuade them!

"Where did you come from, the hairy boy, who deliberately made trouble! Believe it or not, I will arrest you?" Li Tianming also made up a temporary idea, and casually made up a sentence of "regulations", so he naturally couldn't take it out, so he wanted to scare this kid!

"What kind of mess are you kidding!" the uncle still wanted to say to Chen Xiao, but saw that Chen Xiao had already left the house without knowing anything!

Then only the sound of firecrackers was faintly heard, and no one paid attention to it!

After about ten minutes, about 30 people gathered in the dojo one after another......! There was a lot of discussion! Li Tianming and the others had already been shocked out of the house! Seeing that there were still people coming over one after another, my heart was also very strong and inexplicable! I originally planned to get rid of Old Man Chen, and then let the village chief call everyone to mobilize, but it happened that everyone was here, so it saved trouble!

Because it was exactly noon, most of the people who went to work in the fields were finished!

"Be quiet, since everyone is here, let's talk about the matter of handing over the grain, now this old man Chen ......," Li Tianming said.

My child said: Chen Xiao said that Old Man Chen was beaten!"

"Yes, yes! My child said he was bleeding!"

"My kid even said he had a knife!"

Li Tianming and the others were stunned! Of course, including Uncle and Chen Xiao's grandfather!

"By the way, Chen Xiao, what about Chen Xiaoren? Tell him to come out and ask!"

"I'm here!" Chen Xiao, who originally wanted to wait for someone to come, had to show his head! A group of pig teammates didn't know how to change it!

"What's the matter, Chen Xiao? My baby said, you said that the old man was beaten, who was beaten?"

"It's them!" Chen Xiao pointed at Li Tianming!

"Who the hell moved the old man of the Chen family, I don't want to live anymore!" only to hear a loud roar, and everyone gave way.

Chen Xiao was also happy when he saw this guy! It is estimated that he had just arrived! It turned out to be Ruan Fatzi who killed pigs in the village! This thing directly came over with a pig-killing knife!

"Chen Xiao, don't play tricks, my dad is fine, and they didn't do anything!" Seeing that the formation was wrong, the uncle hurriedly explained!

"That's it, that's it! We didn't do it! We didn't bully the old man!" Li Tianming was also frightened by this situation!

"Haven't you been bullied yet? It has rained for so many days this year, and there is no grain in the fields! You see that my father is very talkative and reasonable, let my grandfather's family pay the grain first! It must also be new grain! Where can we get new grain? What other regulations do you have: Two catties of old grain are worth one pound of new grain! Do everyone say that there is such a rule?"

"I haven't heard of this rule in so many years, isn't this a whole thing that kills people?"

"They obviously just won't let us live, and this year the state will give us free food. So the big guy said that we should pay this grain or not?"

"Don't pay, don't pay ......"

Seeing that someone took the lead, and the country would waive food, although Chen Xiao was still an underage hairy boy, he couldn't stop everyone's emotions from rising, anyway, he couldn't settle the account at that time!

"What are you doing! What do you want to do! You want to resist food when the sky is reversed, don't you? Believe it or not, arrest you all?" Li Tianming shouted loudly, trying to hide the panic in his heart!

"Xiaoxiao, what are you going to do? You're going to be angry with me!"

casually Li Tianming's intimidating crowd gradually quieted down!

"Give me that kid and arrest him!" Li Tianming commanded his brothers!

Chen Xiao naturally couldn't reach a few prime of life, and no one stood up for Chen Xiao! I just saw a few people handing him a look, as if they were letting him run! But can he run? If he runs, the monk can't run away from the temple! Chen Xiao has no intention of blaming, as the son of a peasant, he deeply understands this kind of blind obedience and fear of things! Not to mention that all present are a group of women and children!

Comrade, can we let people go, children are not sensible, don't be like him!" Uncle is still saying good things!

"Take it, bring the food!" If this is someone else's head today, maybe Li Tianming can really let people go! But the more he looks at this kid, the more angry he becomes, first splashing himself with water, and then driving himself away! Now that it's in his own hands, he must be made to suffer a little!

"Double the old grain!"

"My sister was scared, can I coax her?" Looking at the scared crying sister, Chen Xiao said to Li Tianming!

"Don't cry, brother is going to play in the countryside for a few days, and come back to bring you candy!" Then he hugged his sister and whispered in her ear.

"Take what is under my pillow to Grandpa!"

"A group of cowards!" Seeing Chen Xiao walk away, grandpa said in an atmosphere!

There was no one in the crowd to talk, and they all lowered their heads in shame!
