Chapter 3 Receiving Orders in Danger

【1】

In the evening, Zhang Guangcai was leading the members to reclaim wasteland on the riverbank. The old branch secretary put a fist against the liver part and shouted as he walked towards the river, "What is Captain Zhang going to plant?"

"Plant sweet potato seedlings, potato seedlings, artichoke seedlings, and some peanuts. The captain of the thirteenth team replied. "Old branch secretary, have you come back from the hospital, why don't you get treatment in the hospital?" Zhang Guangcai heard that the old branch secretary had a very serious illness and was admitted to the provincial hospital, but he didn't know what the old branch secretary was sick with.

"Well, I'll go back to the village after I finished the infusion in the hospital. "Today, as soon as Song Yongxi came out of the hospital, he began to inspect the situation of the various teams in clearing the wasteland and growing grain. He saw that the members of the other production teams were all lazy and lazy, like they lacked sleepiness, and they couldn't lift their spirits.

Only the members of this production team work fast with their hands and feet and spare no effort.

The old branch secretary saw that the captain of the thirteenth team was leading the members of the club to open up the wasteland on the river bank and plant root crops suitable for growing on sandy soil, as well as vegetables.

He was going to inspect the crops of the whole village in the next few days. The thirteenth production team is the most reassuring production team for the old branch secretary. Because there are two hard-working doers in this production team, leading the members to get up early and work hard at night.

One is the captain Zhang Guangcai and the deputy captain Li Yue'e, the deputy captain Li Yue'e did not come to work due to illness during this period. This team is the production team with the highest output in the village every time, so every time Song Zhishu inspects the crops, he is the last to come to this model production team.

As soon as the old branch secretary walked up, the captain of the thirteenth team said: "I said the old branch secretary, it is said that it is a good thing for you to let the teams open up the wasteland and grow grain, but if you want me to say that it may not be able to gain much." Why do I say that? You see, there hasn't been a drop of rain for a few months, and the crops have almost died of drought. A few days ago, it was windy and raining for several days, and the crops were almost waterlogged. Do you think I'm right?"

Zhang Guangcai held the handle of the plough in one hand and a whip in the other hand to drive a reddish-brown horse, which stretched its head and hunched its waist, pulling the ploughshare and plowing the sandy land on the riverbank.

This morning, after the old branch secretary finished the infusion in the ward, he immediately went to the toilet to urinate.

As he passed by the doctor's office, he heard the worst news from the blue. He overheard a conversation between his wife and Professor Guo. The senior professor Guo said that your husband's liver cancer has spread to a large area, so it will not take more than half a year at most.

Song Yongxi almost fainted when he heard this, he quickly held on to the door frame and gasped. He thought, "Is it any wonder that my liver hurts so much that I can't stand it?" His heart was immediately worried, not because he regretted that his life was not long, but because he was very anxious about the talent who had not found a baton.

He also thought that he could die anytime and anywhere, and what if he had passed away and had not even found a qualified leader? The common people in the village were too bitter and bitter, and if I could find a doer who was both virtuous and talented, who was selfless and selfless, and who was also proficient in agricultural management, to lead everyone to dig up the roots of poverty, so that the members of the society could have food, clothing, and a rain-free house to live in, then I would have peace of mind when I arrived at the palace of the king of Hades.

When he thought of this, he immediately asked his wife to pull him in a flat cart and hurried back to the village. He wanted to talk to someone about his successor.

When Captain Zhang came to drive the cattle to plow the land and plough back to the other end, and came to Lao Song, the old branch secretary asked sincerely: "Captain Zhang, come on, then can you help me think about who will take over my shift and let the villagers jump out of the poor pit?"

This old branch secretary was an old platoon commander who made great achievements during the war, and after the war, he returned to the village and was elected as a village official.

His thin face revealed a very complicated expression of toughness and helplessness. The old branch secretary wore a black coarse cloth cardigan with patches on the collar and elbows, tattered trousers of reduced color, and patches on the knees and elbows and shoulders. The wrinkles on the old branch secretary's face were like "crawling with worms" gathered into a pimple, and sorrow and troubles were clearly read from his face.

Liver cancer tortured him all day and couldn't sleep all night, and every night when he got pained, he had to use his fist to push against the painful area.

Captain Zhang saw that the old branch secretary bit and inhaled, and he was sweating in pain. Captain Zhang said distressedly, "Old branch secretary, you should go back to the hospital for treatment, seeing that you are always in pain like this, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the village." ”

But he said: "Alas, Zhang Guangcai, you don't know, I already want to propose to the commune to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, but I think that many people are not successful, you can tell me quickly, who can lead the masses in our village to take off the poor hat?"

The captain was about to speak, and the thirteen team members who were leveling the land rushed to express their opinions:

"Do you want to find someone who can lead the villagers to work hard and lift our village out of poverty?

"I don't think it's really easy to do! The reason why I say this is because the top doesn't allow you to engage in side jobs, so how can you get out of poverty?" said Captain Zhang's eldest brother, Zhang Guangsheng. After listening to his words, the old branch secretary thought for a moment and nodded.

"You see, if anyone raises an extra group of poultry and livestock, they will be arrested and beaten at the police station, and they will talk about capitalism. Yin Zhuogen said dissatisfied.

Zhang Guangyao, the elder brother of Uncle Zhang Guangming's family, said: "Whoever does some kind of petty business, right? The people at the police station will arrest them, saying that they are engaged in some kind of speculative activities. "Some of them were ploughing the fields with mules and horses, and some were making furrows with big iron rakes. Later, some people planted late sweet potato seedlings, and some people planted toothy potato seeds......

"Old Wang, where did you get this royal jelly?" said to her husband.

"Oh, you see I forgot to tell you......" she said when she paused and said with a somewhat excited expression, "Hehe, Zhang Guangming has returned from Shandong." Did he bring you a bottle of royal jelly all the way away?"

Lao Song impatiently asked his wife to pull him to the door of Zhang Guangming's house. He raised his right hand and knocked on the dilapidated varnished paulownia door.

"Knock knock, knock knock. The old branch secretary raised his hand and knocked on the door eagerly.

The knock on the door woke up the puppy napping in front of the door, and it stood up smartly and ran to the door, barking at the crack in the door. The barking of the dog woke up the big flower cat that was sleeping soundly behind the door, and it cocked its tail and arched its back, and its big round eyes widened, revealing its bright and vigilant eyes like jewels, and barked at the door.

"Who is it?" Zhang Guangming sat around the table with the children, he was teaching the children to sing nursery rhymes, and when he heard a quick knock on the door, he asked loudly in a slightly cordial tone.

All this noise disturbed the sleeping little daughter again. "It's me Song Yongxi!" The old branch secretary agreed loudly.

"Oh, I'll open the door. As soon as Zhang Guangming heard the voice of the old branch secretary, he stood up and walked quickly to the door, "squeak" opened the door, and "squeak" opened the door. Wang Daya pulled the flat car and smiled at Zhang Guangming and came in. As soon as the old branch secretary entered the door, he said thank you for bringing me a bottle of royal jelly!, "You're welcome, please come in!" said the tall, sturdy Zhang Guangming.

The puppy quickly ran over and raised his head and barked at the old branch secretary a few times, so frightened that the old branch secretary's wife put down the flat car against the courtyard wall and hurriedly asked Zhang Guangming: "This dog can't talk?"

"It's okay, it's just blind and doesn't bite. Zhang Guangming said. He lowered his head and said to the puppy, "Go, go, don't bark!" "Uncle Song, auntie, please come in quickly, is there something wrong with the second elder coming to my house?" they asked curiously as they walked into the house.

Song Yongxi said: "I'm coming to you, the king of ideas, to take over my class." ”

"Old branch secretary, you have won the award, what kind of idea king? I am just a mediocre talent with great ambition and sparse talent, but I am just a good and small talent, and the thin skills of the film are not worth mentioning. After Zhang Guangming smiled and waved his hand, he handed the water cup to the old branch secretary with an extremely respectful expression in both hands and said modestly.

"Don't underestimate the secretary of the party branch of this village, but it is related to whether our Muyehua Village can turn things around and take off the hat of poverty! It can also be related to the big things about the future development of our Muyehua Village! Although you work in Shandong, your roots are here, and you can't ignore it!"

Zhang Guangming was still a little hesitant, "I, I ?......"

Li Yue, who was in a hurry, fed the child's milk, patted her little daughter gently, and she fell asleep. Li Yue'e immediately put her little daughter on the bed and said to Wang Daya: "I'll go out and persuade my girl's father." ”

"I also think you must persuade Guangming to come back quickly to pick up your Uncle Song's class and save the poor people in our village!"

Wang Daya held one of Li Yue'e's arms, and her other arm walked out of the inner room with a cane and a thud. As soon as Li Yue'e stepped out of the door of the master bedroom, she immediately said: "What am I, I? Old Uncle Song has begged you so much, why don't you hurry up and agree? Could it be that you are worried about Shandong, where you are ready to promote you to the post of deputy secretary of the commune?"

Zhang Guangming also hurriedly walked over and helped his wife sit on the chair, and he shook his head vigorously to deny it. "I also believe that you are not a selfish person, what are you still grinding and chirping, gentle, father, what are you still grinding and chirping? Come back and help our fellow villagers! Besides, you are a capable person, don't shirk anymore, I also ask you to resign and come back as soon as possible, so as to lead the people in our village to jump out of the poverty pit as soon as possible!

At this time, how could Zhang Guangming refuse the trust of this dying man? He nodded solemnly at the old branch secretary and said: "Okay then! I won't go to Heze County, Shandong Province to be an agricultural technician, so let's come back! But do we villagers mean the same thing?" Before the old branch secretary could finish speaking, he grinned excitedly like a child, his red and swollen eyes smiling. He had put the pain behind him.

The old branch secretary said with confidence: "You can rest assured that it is bright, I believe that the eyes of the masses are the same as mine, if you don't believe it, you can look at it tomorrow." Zhang Guangming nodded, and snorted.

He turned his face to his wife again and said, "Yes, Wen Yaniang, what you just said is very right!" Zhang Guangming said to his wife excitedly, "You are really a reasonable person! We are both model workers, and we can be regarded as educated people in our village, so we should learn from the spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly like Jiao Yulu, the iron man Wang Jinxi, and Comrade Lei Feng!"

The old branch secretary grinned. He was as excited as a treasure hunter had gotten a pearl of the night. The old branch secretary's eyes radiated a glint of hope. Before he said goodbye, he said: "Her ideological consciousness is also so high! If you have this kind of virtuous help to support you, you will definitely be able to make some achievements!"

He said happily as he walked out, "Bright, you stay, I'll go with your aunt!" Hehe, it seems that there is hope for our Muye Flower Village to jump out of the poor pit!"

Before leaving, he patted Zhang Guangming's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Then I can report to Lord Yama with peace of mind!" He said this without a trace of sadness, but with a look of excitement.

Wang Daya hurriedly said: "Don't be discouraged, old man, we won't be afraid of the new medicine developed by Dr. Zhou Feng and his father!" Zhang Guangming looked at the old branch secretary and gradually moved away, thinking: Can he get through the ghost gate? If he hands over such a heavy burden to me, will the villagers agree?
