Chapter 31: The Iron Pot Storm (2)
At breakfast, the people poured some small iron objects such as door buckle hangings, hinges, iron triangles, nails, etc., which they had collected at home, into the courtyard of the team headquarters, and piled up a large iron pile half a person high. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The matter of throwing the iron pot also quietly spread among the people, and none of the members did not regret it: this is everyone's thing, whether it is lost or smashed, it is all gone. In case there's something going on in the room, there's not even a savior!
In people's minds, they all think that the canteen has just been established, and it is necessary to be stricter. When heavy snow falls for nine days, every family has to light a stove to keep warm.
At that time, I borrowed a small iron pot from the team, asked for catties of white flour or cornmeal, and made hot bowls for the elderly and children at home, which also saved running back and forth.
In this way, the slightest illusion in people's hearts was shattered, and everyone, especially the housewives, felt heavy and unspeakably uncomfortable.
This meal was very dull, and there were children who made a fuss, and they were also drunk by adults.
After Wang Xiaohua-Mei had breakfast, she wanted to slip away as usual, but was blocked by the captain. Although stupid, the iron pot was lost in her house, which can be said to be a direct witness, and the people of the brigade came to have an explanation!
The village party secretary came with all the cadres of the brigade and the captains of each production team. One is to search for iron pots, and the other is to check whether the iron tools of each household have been handed in, and the two are pronged.
After a check, the members of the 11th team did not see a single iron nail in their homes, let alone 30 or 40 iron pots.
"Mother, I don't believe that thirty or forty iron pots can fly. Dig three feet into the ground and find it for me. ”
After the village party secretary went online, he scolded and was angry with the cadres and members of the team.
The village party secretary is in his fifties, surnamed Wang Qingbo, and is a veteran cadre who took office during the land reform period. The first is that he has the largest surname Wang in Wangdian Village, and the second is that he has been a village cadre for many years, arrogant and fearless, and when he stomps his feet in the village, the whole village can tremble, and no one dares to provoke the emperor.
Wang Xiaohua-Mei searched for memories of his previous life, and what impressed her the most was not his dominance, but the scene of criticizing his corpse in the Siqing Movement. I can't remember how he died, why he criticized the corpse.
The next step is for everyone to review, pass the test one by one, and explain what they have done in the last two days (because the iron pot was still there two days ago) and who they are with.
This is easy to say. Because they all worked in the collective fields and ate in a cauldron, everyone was able to testify to each other.
Soon, the team cadres and members all washed themselves out, and in the end, only accountant Chen Xilin and little silly Nier Wang Xiaohua-Mei were left.
Although Chen Xilin insisted that he was sleeping in the North House office, he really didn't hear any movement. But because of his weak heart, he broke out in a cold sweat before he finished speaking, and beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks in strings.
This situation aroused the suspicion of Wang Qingbo, the village party secretary, and ordered the militia company commander to take the militia platoon commanders of the 13 squads to Chen Xilin for interrogation.
I don't know what methods the militia company commanders and platoon commanders used, but after three trials and two trials, Chen Xilin couldn't bear it anymore and truthfully explained the situation last night. And said that he did not sleep in the office last night, but came back early in the morning before the chef arrived.
So the brigade went to interrogate the widow.
Although the widow was frightened last night, she struggled to bring her children to breakfast in order to solve her stomach problems and hand in the small iron objects in the house.
After she heard about the iron pot incident, she didn't care: if you lose it, you will lose it, anyway, she didn't take it, so she won't track it down to herself.
When the people of the brigade asked her about her actions last night, she realized the seriousness of the situation: she was not afraid of being accused of stealing iron pots, but of exposing her feelings, which could affect a woman's reputation for the rest of her life.
The widow gritted her teeth, and no matter how she asked, she said that she was at home and kept the child asleep. The body that was not angry was shaking.
"Don't cover it, Chen Xilin has already explained everything. If you don't admit the two of you, you have to tell where the iron pot is hidden. That's a matter of route, and it's up to you to weigh it yourself. Said the interrogator.
When the widow heard that Chen Xilin had confessed, there was no need for her to hide it any longer, so she truthfully explained the events of last night and told the haunted things.
"Because of the haunting, I was very scared, so I asked Accountant Chen to send me home, but I didn't dare to let him go. When the widow finished speaking, she began to cry.
"Okay, don't cry, we're only investigating the iron pot today, and your affairs won't be dealt with for the time being. Tell me, where did the ghost end up?"
The widow shook her head: "Later, I didn't dare to look at it, and I was hugged out of the gate by Accountant Chen." ”
"Did Chen Xilin see it?"
"He said he didn't see it, and said I was dazzled. But I saw it so clearly, the face was so big (the size of a basin), the tongue was so long (a foot long), and the two eyes were red, much more fierce than the hanged man!"
If you ask again, the widow will just talk about ghosts. The interrogators saw that the widow was a sign of insanity, and had confirmed that Chen Xilin had indeed slept in her house the previous night, so they ended the questioning and truthfully reported it to the village party secretary.
Lu Zhanwu, the captain on the side, couldn't sit still when he heard this. He and Chen Xilin are relatives who have a little flat hook and hang a ploughshare, and Chen Xilin is still the accountant of the team.
He believed that Chen Xilin would not do stupid things, and he would not hide the iron pot for the people of Team 11 in this situation. I wanted to investigate and investigate, but I didn't admit it, but I brought out the situation, and even the cow ghost snake god came out. If this matter is a big trouble, it will have to kill someone.
"Now is the time to search for the source of iron, we should mainly search the iron pot, and leave everything else in advance. We still have 12 production teams to inspect! It's best not to delay on other things. ”
How could Wang Qingbo not hear his extraneous sounds!
Most of the surnames in Wangdian Village are Wang, and the other surnames are also related to the surname Wang, and the relationship is intertwined. This matter has nothing to do with Wang Qingbo, the two usually have contradictions, and he is still willing to give this face.
Other matters are no longer pursued, Chen Xilin's suspicion of hiding the iron pot has been ruled out, and only the little silly Nier who sleeps in the iron pot is left.
Although she was small and stupid, the stakes were very high, and Wang Qingbo, the village party secretary, personally interrogated her: "Nier, who took the iron pot in your house?"
Wang Xiaohua-Mei still smiled "hehe", and then said a word slurred: "Flying ......"
"Fly?" Wang Qingbo was stunned: "Where did you fly?"
Wang Xiaohua-Mei pointed to the sky again.
"Fly your dad jiba!" Wang Qingbo burst into foul language.
