Chapter 33: A Distant Village (I)
"Eldest sister, you used to be in the army on the island, right?"
"Yes, the island in the year of the famine. The first time I went to the island, I was seasick and dizzy, and my five organs and six lungs were about to vomit. ”
"Haha, I'm used to it now. ”
Qin Yongmei and Xiao Ni were chatting while walking on the street.
At this time, they helped build a local police station on an island.
This island is called Taoyuan Island, and there are nearly 1,000 villagers.
Because the island is far away from the land and the transportation is not convenient, the residents have a very hard time handling household registration and public security matters.
Therefore, the Municipal Bureau specially approved the establishment of a police station on the island.
Qin Yongmei and Xiao Ni were sent to the island to assist in the work for a few days.
Now that they've done their job, it's time to go back tomorrow.
When I have nothing to do, I wander around the small island market.
"Interestingly, when I first came to the island to join the army, I met two celebrities. ”
"Who? It can't be Wang Xiaotang, right?"
Xiao Ni is a star chaser, especially Wang Xiaotang, and there are stills of Wang Xiaotang hidden in his desk.
"Tian Hua, Tian Han. ”
"They're all big stars!"
Tian Hua was so beautiful at that time, with big braids and Lenin clothes, and when he arrived on the island, the soldiers all rushed to watch. ”
"They said they were going to the island to collect wind and watch the sunrise or something. What's so nice about the sunrise? Many people said that they actually came to the army to fight tooth sacrifices. Although they are celebrities, they also lose oil and water in their stomachs. ”
Xiao Ni couldn't help but sigh.
After the senior officials feasted Tian Hua and Tian Han, when they were sent away, some battalion and company-level officers took the opportunity to go in to eat and drink. Just as he was in a daze, the commander sent the guests back, and when he saw this situation, he severely reprimanded the officers. Hey, there was no oil and water in the stomach of the soldier at that time. ”
While chatting, I came to the police station.
As soon as I walked in the door, I heard a scolding sound.
"You, a reactionary, still don't tell me the truth?"
Qin Yongmei walked in and saw that the director was reprimanding an old man in his fifties.
There are only two people in this police station, one director and one deputy director.
The director is a man in his 40s, who has been a security officer and has some experience in law and order.
The deputy director is a young man in his twenties, who has served as a basic militia member and has some ability to enforce the law.
Qin Yongmei hurriedly asked what was going on.
The director snorted angrily and said: "This morning, someone found out that this reactionary wanted to commit suicide by jumping into a well in an attempt to escape the dictatorship of the people. ”
Xiao Ni was taken aback, and scolded in his heart: I'm old, and I have to report to you if I die if my family is not good?
After all, Qin Yongmei had some life experience and some political consciousness, looked at the old man, frowned and asked, "Is there some ulterior conspiracy?"
"There is no conspiracy, comrade, there is really no conspiracy. The old man hurriedly argued, there was still a bit of sourness in his words, and he seemed to be a somewhat cultured person.
"Dare to say that there is no conspiracy? I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. ”
Qin Yongmei hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, it just so happens that we don't have anything to do, so let's visit his house." ”
Qin Yongmei and Xiao Ni were dressed in civilian clothes and accompanied the old man to his house.
Along the way, the old man still lowered his head and looked sad.
The old man's home is very different from the rest of the village, clean and tidy, and has some artistic atmosphere.
When he returned home, the old man's expression was much happier, and while beckoning Qin Yongmei and Xiao Ni to go to the kang, he beckoned his wife to wash the fruit and come over.
After a while, the old man's wife came over with fruit.
His wife is not like ordinary rural women, she is dressed neatly and neatly, and her figure is not serious, and she even feels a little like a.
The strange thing is that this aunt is like a shy girl, always keeping her head down, and she doesn't dare to look at Qin Yongmei and Xiao Ni.
Qin Yongmei took a closer look and found that her aunt's eyelids were a little swollen, as if she had cried.
There are demons!
After the aunt withdrew, Qin Yongmei chatted with the old man while eating fruit.
"Big brother, how many people are in your family?"
"There are four people in the contemptible family, no children under their knees, and only two little girls. ”
"Are all your daughters married?"
The old man sighed, his eyes red: "It's all my fault, my political consciousness is too poor, and I failed to cut off the relationship with the parents of the exploiting class as soon as possible." As a result, the children are affected......"
Qin Yongmei sighed: "It's very difficult to get married, isn't it?"
"Yes, the good ingredients don't look down on us. dragged back and forth, the two daughters are not young, and they finally married off the eldest daughter last year. ”
"So there's a little girl in the family, can you call us to have a look?"
The old man hesitated for a moment, but got up and went out.
After a while, there was a whisper from the outhouse, and it seemed that the girl was reluctant.
But eventually it came in.
Like her mother, she kept her head down.
But even with their heads down, it also amazed Qin Yongmei and Xiao Ni.
Xiao Ni's eyes were even straighter, he didn't expect to see such a woman in this poor and remote place.
Qin Yongmei hurriedly glanced at Xiao Ni, and Xiao Ni came to her senses and blushed slightly.
Qin Yongmei secretly observed the girl's eyes and found that like her mother, she seemed to have cried.
After a few pleasantries, the girl hurried out.
Xiao Ni stammered a little when she spoke: "You, female, how can your daughter not get married if she is so beautiful?"
The old man seemed reluctant to talk about this topic, and sighed with his head down: "Poor and remote, everyone values family composition. ”
Qin Yongmei stared at the old man: "I see that there seems to be something hidden in your family, how about telling us?"
The old man bowed his head and said nothing.
At this time, Xiao Ni also noticed something abnormal, and lowered his voice: "Uncle, don't worry, we will go back tomorrow, as long as we don't violate discipline, we will definitely keep it a secret for you." ”
The old man's lips trembled for a while, his eyes turned red, and he lamented: "What an insult to the ancestors! ”
After hearing the old man tell what happened, Xiao Ni was also dumbfounded.
It turned out that the old man's little daughter said about a family affair half a year ago, and after dating for a while, the future son-in-law came to visit a few days ago and was ready to finalize the family affair.
When staying overnight, the future son-in-law proposed to have sex with the little girl.
The old man felt that the family affair had been finalized, and the little girl did not object, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, the rise of the future son-in-law and the little daughter, it turned out to be a beast, and even the eldest daughter who went back to her parents' house to visit relatives was also engaged, and finally even the future mother-in-law was also strong.
The old man hated himself for being cowardly and incompetent, so he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into a well, but was discovered by the village cadres......
The old man was talking, beating his chest, and the old tears were horizontal: "It's useless to be a scholar." I'm cowardly! I'm incompetent! I've insulted my ancestors! I can't even protect my family, what's the point of my life? ”
Xiao Ni also gritted his teeth angrily: "There is such a bastard thing in the world, and it will cost him a thousand cuts." ”
