Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Benefits of Scholars (Part II)

Thanks to the blessing of the first two words of the "people's government", whenever there is any natural disaster in the local area, even if the higher level government is financially tight, it will always withdraw relief funds and call on urban residents who are not rich to donate money and materials.

Two months ago, a major flash flood broke out in Tonggu, which occurred once in 30 years, and the provincial and municipal levels pulled out millions of catties of relief grain, a part of the relief money, and clothing donated by well-wishers. However, it is very debatable whether these things can be distributed to the affected people in time, or whether all of them can be distributed in place.

Anyway, according to the township cadres, because the new grain in Linchuan and Gao'an has not yet been put on the market, the relief grain has not yet been pulled out, and now only every household is exempted from this year's public grain. God knows what happens to a large country, a region with a population of several million, and a mere few million catties of grain, and it has to wait for new grain to be put on the market before it can be pulled down. Only God knows, when the new grain is on the market, what is the meaning of relief food?

The Li family in Huangniping was lucky this time, although the relief grain was not withdrawn, but the head of Sun Township, who was in charge of disaster relief, had a special order, so their public grain this year was all exempted. Of course, the people of the civil affairs office should attach importance to the orders of the township chiefs, and they have come here today to implement the instructions of the leaders.

You Xueli, who has a shrewd face, is the cousin-in-law of Sue Yan, the cousin of the right to study in the study, and also the party secretary of the village, knowing that the Li family is now led by Li Chuanmeng, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly gave him the certificate of exemption from public food.

"Chuanmeng, this is a certificate issued by the township, your seven families were seriously affected, and you were specially exempted from all the Chuanjian and Chuanlin families in the ninety-third year, and 80% of the public grain of the remaining five of your families. When the time comes, you will take it directly to the grain station to offset the public grain. ”

Li Chuanmeng, who had a hangover, had a good relationship with You Xueli before, so he smiled and took seven vouchers stamped with official seals, and handed them to the lobby brother who had just arrived, and asked him to arrange which brother and sister to deal with it at that time. Now the Li family doesn't rely on this little thing, but don't give things for nothing, and a family can be exempted from thousands of catties of public grain.

"Thank you, thank you, Xue Li Gong (people in the mountains often call children elders, relatives), yesterday there were many people did not entertain well, today anyway to eat two more cups. ”

How could You Xueli, who had overturned these brothers yesterday, agree, and hurriedly said: "Momo, there are still a lot of things in the village, and I can't be busy verifying the disaster situation for everyone these days, so how can I still have time to eat and drink? When Jiaren and Jiayi go to study, I will come over to deliver tea money, and we will have a good meal! Oh, this matter was specially assigned by Township Chief Sun, don't go out and talk nonsense, you know?"

If you get cheap, you have to sell well, and the brothers who still have the smell of wine in their mouths hurriedly said: "I know, I know."

Knowing a ghost, looking at these drunken appearances, You Xueli knew that they didn't know, and hurriedly called his sensible nephew. Township Chief Sun deliberately did such a big favor, so he wanted to thank and thank others, people don't care how much they send, what they care about is whether there is his big leader in the eyes of the Li family. If you don't go, if there is anything good in the future, you can't blame others for not taking care of it.

"Hey, where is Jiaming, I still have something to look for him. ”

"Jiaming, Jiaming, Jiaming!"

Li Jiaming, who was reading a book upstairs, got up and took a look at the hanging tower, and hurriedly trotted downstairs. This grandfather has a good relationship with his father-in-law, and he is also quite good, when he used to study in Yinzitan, when he encountered the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, he would give him moon cakes and buns to eat. Even the annual timber cutting target, the uncle and they have not been able to pay the full amount for nine out of ten years, but their own family has never been less.

"Xue Li, do you have something to do with me?"

You Xueli really likes this sweet-mouthed nephew and grandson, and often teaches those younger generations that his descendants are not hard, but they must be soft.

"Jiaming, are you familiar with Sun Xiang?"

If someone else asks, Li Jiaming will not pull the tiger skin but will definitely acquiesce, but when his grandfather asked, he also whispered: "I don't know each other very well, I have a good relationship with Zhang Weimin's son, and I will follow him to call Zhang Jianjun the third uncle." In the past, when I was eating and playing in Zhang Jianjun's house, I saw Township Chief Sun a few times. Grandpa, do you have something to do with Township Chief Sun?"

"It's okay, it's okay, study hard, I'll be admitted to university in the future, and my grandfather will come to eat!"

"Hehe, when I am admitted to the university, my grandfather will open an ancestral hall for me!"

"That's for sure! When the time comes, Ah Gong will have to overhaul Uncle Hsinchu's grave once and drive a pig up to kill it!"

You Xueli encouraged this angry nephew and grandson a few words, said hello to Li Chuanmeng and the others, and rode away on his old motorcycle and the cadres in the township. The Li family's ancestors are buried well, or Uncle Hsinchu has a vision, he took a fancy to the orphans and widows, and insisted on marrying Yuemei. If Jiaming's son is really promising, he can take them out, and the ancestral tomb of the You family will also smoke!

After sending the grandfather away, Li Jiaming asked the uncle a few words and knew the meaning of the grandfather. After such a great disaster, will the higher authorities really not until the end of the year withdraw the relief grain funds? I am afraid that the grain funds have already been withdrawn, but they have only been temporarily withheld by the townships, and they want to intercept some of them. He wanted to walk and see if he could get more three melons and two dates.

Of course, the more important thing is to remind yourself that it is a big favor to exempt all public grain, and I am afraid that in addition to the village party secretary and village head, the rest of the village cadres in Yinzitan will not get this benefit. If you get the benefits of others, you have to thank one or two, don't let people do favors in vain.

Such a simple thing, Li Chuanjian, who is accustomed to treating people with the heart of a villain, can naturally guess that how can such a good thing in the past have his own share, and even if there is, only the third family can get it, who made him the son-in-law of the You family. This year, I can get the benefits of these public grain reductions, that is, the two sons are fighting for anger and are admitted to university, and Jiaming has something to do with Township Chief Sun, otherwise he will have to be intercepted by the village again, and the disaster will be suffered but the public grain must be handed over, at most it is less paid!

Sent away two township cadres and accompanying You Xueli, and one of them stuffed a bag of 'Baisha Wang' cigarettes with red notes, as if he didn't understand these Zhang Xiangfeng was dissatisfied: "Big brother, I listened to the people in my mother's house, all the relief grains were pulled out over the water repair side, and the family had 100 catties and 10 catties of chemical (lard) fat." ”

The new brother and sister are from Luofang and are next to Xiushui, of course, they can hear the wind on the other side of Xiushui, Li Chuanmeng, who was still smiling just now, didn't turn his brain, sighed and explained: "Don't think about it, you can exempt us from public food, this is still the blessing of the big man and the second man."

The speaker may be unintentional, but the listener will be intentional, and Zhang Xiangfeng doesn't like to hear this. The two nephews are fighting for anger, but it is clear that the village party secretary has come to remind his family to thank others, how can he put all his favors on the two nephews? With her husband by her side, the shrewd Zhang Xiangfeng also felt that his waist was much straighter, and he deliberately said: "How can this be? The last time someone from the countryside came to verify the loss, it was all reported by the family. ”

What else can we do if this is not the case? If the locals are in power, at most they are in arrears, and if the outsiders are in power, they will have to be withheld. Although the iron-fisted prime minister's policy of eliminating local forces has eliminated the hidden danger of local confrontation with the central government, it has also opened a precedent for non-local officials in power to only make political achievements and not do practical things.

There is something in the wife's words, it is nothing more than thanking the gift and not wanting to go out of the family, but Li Chuanlin, who is accompanying the lobby brother to socialize, can also think about it, and there is no shortage of that little thing at home, so why bother, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Ming Yan, go and ask if the public food in the house is free?"

Li Jiaming, who was helping his sisters get hot water, straightened his waist, and the little sister next to him repeated a sentence before he walked over quickly and said, "yes, Luo Fang is not so fast." Didn't Director Yu say just now, first assess the loss and then reduce the public grain, Luo Fang and You Yuan will definitely be the last to reduce it. ”

What Li Jiaming said was much heavier in the word reduction, but Li Chuanmeng, who had a hangover, still didn't react, and his wife's maiden home was in Youyuan. Since his nephew can talk to Township Chief Sun, let him talk good things and ask for mercy.

"Uncle Chuanmeng, it's useless. If everyone doesn't make trouble, they can be reduced by more or less by half, and if they dare to make trouble, the reduction will not be considered. You can rest assured, a household of 100 catties of relief grain for 2 or 300 catties of public grain per mu, the village party secretaries and village chiefs of each village are not stupid, they must know how to do it. ”

It is for this reason that relief grain is not as good as reducing public grain, which is distributed by every household, and it is also the space for operation in the township.

The public grain should be handed over to the state treasury, and no matter how much it is paid, it has nothing to do with the township or the county, but relief grain is a real material, and as long as there is the benefit of reducing or reducing public grain, the peasants who are already honest know how to choose it.

This is why Li Chuanmeng said that everyone was blessed by Li Jiaren's brothers, and they got the benefit of exempting most of the public grain. One acre of land has 300 catties of public grain, and Huangniping has 17 or 8 acres of land, and four or five thousand catties of public grain are exempted.

Obedient and listening, Zhang Xiangfeng, who is holding the child, is not stupid, on the contrary, she is a little smart, she is not drunk and her brain is not confused, she deliberately pulled out these things, Li Chuanjian next to her still can't hear it?

"Jiaming, there are still two 'Furong King' and a few 'Baisha King' cigarettes in the treasury, you go to Township Chief Sun to thank you. If you call someone uncle, they help us, so we have to thank them, you know?"

The rough Li Chuanmeng didn't think much about it, and when he heard his cousin's reminder, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, go home tomorrow, don't let people gossip, we will ask for a lot of things in the future." Mao Tong, you go too!"

"Hey", Mao Tong, who was about to sneak out to play, hurriedly went to push the motorcycle. Since Li Jiaming fought that fight, this guy has been ordered by his uncles not to leave his cousin, so as not to make the genius nephew of the family fight and suffer. Li Chuanjian, who was next to him, hurriedly took out 300 yuan and stuffed it to Li Jiaming, who was pushing the scooter, and instructed: "Jiaming, help the uncle buy 100 catties of rice and 20 catties of oil." ”

"Oh"

Li Chuanmeng next to him wanted to speak and stopped, but he still didn't stop Li Jiaming from taking the three hundred yuan.
