The head of the brigade is about less than 80 meters, and the width is also 50 meters, and there are six tables at the southernmost end, and the cadres such as the old secretary, the dog leftover, the first captain, the second captain, and the third captain are all crowded with six tables.

The people who maintained order had already filled the brigade headquarters with benches, line by row, from the south end to the north end.

The villagers continued to enter the brigade headquarters, and all those who entered the brigade headquarters were sitting in turn from the south end, and in an instant, the entire brigade headquarters was full of bustling people.

The old secretary looked at the familiar black crowd opposite, all of them were spitting smoke and spitting smoke, and they seemed to be talking to each other, but the "buzzing" sound of talking, the whole team headquarters was dozing off!

The old secretary looked to the sides again, which means that the personnel are almost here, so let's have a meeting, right? Everyone nodded to the old secretary.

So, I saw that the old secretary picked up the portable speaker on the table, turned on the switch, and said to the gate: "Folks, be quiet, folks, I see that everyone is almost here, and now the meeting will begin." ”

The rioting crowd suddenly fell silent.

"Today's meeting we have is inseparable from all the villagers, and it is about the homestead issue that everyone is concerned about. This is already a big problem, and now everyone is complaining about this problem, and the village committee has tried its best, but it has never been able to solve this problem that everyone has a headache for. ”

"Just a few days ago, our branch held a meeting to discuss this increasingly acute problem, and actively put forward suggestions and suggestions to solve this problem. Finally, after we summarized, everyone agreed that the suggestion put forward by the dog left was the most feasible, and it was unanimously agreed by everyone, and we expressed our gratitude to Comrade Gou Yu for the reasonable suggestion, and everyone applauded! ”

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The eyes in the compound all noticed the dog's body, and in an instant, a thunderous sound sounded in the compound!

The old secretary made a gesture to the big guy, signaled everyone to stop, and then said: "The suggestion that Gou Yu said is to relocate and move the entire village out, that is to say, there are villagers who are willing to rebuild houses, and they are all concentrated in a fixed place outside the village, and the homestead will be issued by the brigade department, and the standard will be unified, and no one is allowed to change the height, length and width of the house at will. ”

After the old secretary finished speaking, he looked at the villagers who were black and oppressive below, and listened to the reaction of the big guy below, and the big guy began to talk left and right again, and there was an uproar.

The noisy sound of "buzzing" echoed in the brigade headquarters, and everyone was actively discussing.

There was probably a bag of cigarettes, and the old secretary just wanted to speak, and wanted to ask the big guy's opinion, but at this time, I didn't know who slapped it, so it led many positive echoes to respond to the team headquarters together.

"Come, you say, yes, it's you, you're the first to respond." The old secretary held a horn in one hand and pointed to the first person to applaud with the other and said, "Tell me your reasons, what do you think?" ”

"Old secretary, I am the first to agree with the measures of the brigade department, this idea is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he has completely solved this old and difficult problem, I agree with this plan, I am the first to sign for a new homestead!"

As soon as this man's words fell, there was another round of applause from below.

"Good! Everyone, be quiet, be quiet! The old secretary looked at the man again and said, "Please tell me your reasons, our branch would like to hear your opinions, and we know everything and say everything, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"My house should have been flipped, but I didn't dare to flip! If you look at the people who have built houses in our village, they are all very good neighbors, but if you look at the present, they have all become enemies, who wants to do that? The man said.

"Old secretary, you go to our house to see, you go to see the wall of our house, it is damp all year round. The house was built by my father's generation, all of them were made of adobe, the children were all older, and they all looked like they were of age to marry a daughter-in-law, and our neighbors got along very well. ”

"I greeted them in advance, and I said that I wanted to rebuild the house, but they said that it was okay to rebuild the house, but it must be according to the previous foundation level, and it could not be exceeded, otherwise we would turn our faces! Old secretary, do you think I still dare to flip the cover? ”

"Later, I discussed with them, let's all turn the cover together, I said you see that the level of our alley is very low, and when it rains, our alley will become a depression, if you don't act again, don't talk about us, the children can't stand it!"

"Everyone knows that when a man gets married, a woman should get married, whose girl is willing to come to our house to be a daughter-in-law? I want to do a good job in the neighborhood and do my own business, but I can't make up my mind, old secretary! ”

"This plan is so good, I am the first to agree, I will not hinder anyone and no one will be offended, there are laws to follow, there are rules to follow, I am the first to support such a big good thing!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

After this person finished speaking, there were more people applauding at the bottom, and then some hesitant people were driven, and the applause was more than before, the old secretary looked at it, well, yes, almost half, it seems that this initiative has been correspondingly by most people, although there are still people who disagree, or there are still people who waver, but this must be a good start.

"So be it." The old secretary looked at the crowd below, picked up an envelope from the table and spoke: "Have you seen this envelope in my hand?" I reported the final results of our branch to the superiors, and the superior departments have agreed to our plan. ”

The old secretary took the letterhead and showed it to everyone and said: "I didn't even expect this instruction, it's very fast!" This means that this problem is no longer a matter of our village, but a major matter of all villages, which directly affects the harmony and stability of the neighbors in the village, and is a big problem that cannot be solved! ”

"Big guy, look at the instructions made above, I will read it to the big guy - this matter is very common, this matter is very typical, I hope that the village government will solve the big problems that the villagers have not solved for a long time as soon as possible, and I hereby approve it!"

"The villager just said well, we now have a law to follow, there are rules to follow, this old and difficult problem that plagues everyone's hearts can finally be solved, what reason do we have to disagree?" After speaking, the old secretary glanced at the bottom and stopped talking.

The applause was remembered again, and this time it was even more enthusiastic than the last time!

After the applause, the old secretary said again: "That's it, I just wanted to say, you." The old secretary pointed to the first person who applauded and said, "Yes, it's you." Come, you come up and sign, I will be the first to issue you a homestead, the first to solve your old and difficult problems, and I will never make it difficult for you again! ”

The villager came up without hesitation, and was the first to write his name on the letterhead that the old secretary had given him.

Gou Yu sat next to the old secretary, he witnessed this man write his name, and Gou Yu was the first to applaud.

The old secretary also applauded, and the cadres of the branch also applauded, and the audience also applauded!

After the applause, the old secretary said: "Everyone who applauds agrees with this plan, right?" Okay, let's sign it. ”

One, two, three, for a while there was a long queue behind them.

At this time, the old secretary glanced at the bottom and compared the people in line, and the old secretary was suddenly a little disappointed, and the number of people in line was at most one-third.

The old secretary glanced at the dog leftover, and saw that the dog leftover was looking at the bottom in a daze, as if he was thoughtful.

The signatures of the people in the queue lasted for about 20 minutes before they dispersed, and the whole signing process was full of discussions, the quiet signing sound in front of the stage, and the "buzzing" discussion sound at the bottom, forming a new contrast!

"Good!" The old secretary looked at the villagers who walked down one by one and finally said: "Everyone has seen it, we have seen it, and what everyone saw was the issue of firmly safeguarding the interests of the village committee and safeguarding the great interests of the unity of the villagers just now; At the same time, we also see different differences underneath, where is the scorching point of this disagreement? ”

"We've been struggling with this over the years, we both know each other, and we've abandoned our neighborhood relationships and family relationships, right? I think there are still a large number of people who are unwilling to break this face, and they are not willing to hurt peace. Now I ask you, can your company and family help you get through the difficulties of your family? ”

There was a long silence below.

"Come on, I'm not difficult for all of you, if you want, then please come to the stage and sign your names and prove it to them!" When the old secretary said this, he was sonorous and powerful, there is no doubt about it!

No one answered, no one spoke, and suddenly there was a sea of silence below. "Speak, huh? What do you mean when you don't speak? If you don't agree, you can express your opinion, no one is blocking your door? It's normal to have disagreements and opinions, so let's all solve them together? The old secretary said. I don't agree with the old secretary! A man stood up and said loudly to the old secretary.

"Okay, you say, as long as you talk." The old secretary said.

"I agree with this plan, and I agree with and support it, but I just built a new house, and I can't afford to build a new house anymore, what do you say?" The man said.

"Old Secretary." As soon as the man's words fell, someone immediately stood up and said: "Old secretary, my son has already made a marriage, I want to build a house, but my neighbor is my family, he said that you can build a house, give me a dowry of 3,000 first!" Old secretary, I'm just waiting for the 3,000 yuan to build a house for my son and marry a daughter-in-law, what do you think I should do? ”

"Old Secretary." As soon as this person's voice fell, someone spoke: "Old secretary, you know our alley, from south to north twenty-six households, our alley has a very good folk customs, and generations have the custom of gathering together every year. ”

"Look at the old secretary now, the children of the old Wang family are getting married, and the foundation of the house has been raised by one foot, and the neighbors have begun to compare with each other. It's not covered, it's not covered, we don't want to pierce this window paper! ”

"Old secretary, I feel the same way!" At this time, someone took over the conversation and said: "Look at the people of our alley, how good they used to be!" Look at who cares about who now, the adults don't talk about it, you see the children are starting to fight! Old secretary, how are you still letting us go out? ”

"Old secretary! ……”

"Old secretary! ……”

"Old secretary! ……”

One sat down, the other got up again, and the sound of complaints and grievances resounded all over the brigade headquarters, and all the difficult problems to solve flocked to the old secretary.

One question is more complicated than the other, one question is more acute than the other, the old secretary looks at this, and then looks at that and is too busy to take care of! At this time, his mind has been washed into a huge Kongtong by all the questions, and even he himself doesn't know who he is!

The people who asked questions one after another, the old secretary's head flickered left and right, and the people in the team headquarters also followed the people who asked questions, shaking their eyes. During this period, the extraordinary cadres were answering the questions raised by the masses, but it was better not to mention them, and the more detailed the answers, the more and more questions there were. "I did not stop with the meaning of "prostitution!

The people are rushing to solve the problem, and the cadres are the golden key to solving the problem.

The stage was quiet, the cadres were at a loss, and there was a commotion below, and the cries of one after another became more and more like a prairie fire!

The situation is about to get out of control, the old secretary looked at the bottom and opened his mouth without speaking, and then the old secretary subconsciously looked at the cadres on the left and right, at this time his eyes happened to be on the same as the dog left, only to see the dog left on the old secretary's thigh pinched fiercely!

The old secretary instantly bared his teeth and glared at the dog leftover, and instantly understood what the dog leftovers meant, but he didn't know what to say? But if you don't say it's okay, at this time, the person in charge will lose his work if he doesn't speak!

"Don't call the old secretary anymore, you can't solve your problem even if you call the old secretary to death." At this time, the dog snatched the horn from the old secretary's hand and said, "Do you see that the question you just raised is tenable?" It's all a matter of arguing for several lifetimes, just like flipping a house, always inseparable from one's own one-third of an acre. ”

"Do you say that it works? The homestead we distributed this time only needs to be tossed once, where do you go to find such a good thing? At this time, what family affection do you still think about, do they care about you? Isn't that vexatious? ”

"The homestead we issued this time, unified area, unified level, unified height, in accordance with the standard plan of the two-story building, completely changed our living environment, is a century-old plan."

"Everyone knows that the land opposite the livestock breeding farm can build eight rows from east to west, six households per row, six or eight forty-eight households, and ten rows from south to north, which is enough for the whole village to use residential land. In winter, we will adopt the method of collective heating, which will completely change our traditional way of heating by smoky fire. ”

"Who can imagine what a great environment it must be? What are you looking at now in our village? Let's look at our neighborhood again, how can we still look like folks? Don't you feel cold? ”

"Tell everyone that we must go down this road, and we can't change it! Now I announce that the people who signed will start to take the number, and we will give priority to the homestead according to the number, and whoever is more backward will have no good place, and no one will be able to complain about anyone at that time! Come on, please sign the person in order to line up and start to get the number, and the person who took the number will follow our person in charge to choose a place outside the village! ”

It's a mess now, the people who signed the sign lined up with a long snake, and the dog picked up the signing book on the table to start the name of the year, who is the first one, who is the second one, who is the third one......

"Whoever took the number will come with me!" The third captain said to everyone.

"Whoever wants to sign, please come here and sign it!" The captain shouted at the bottom.

There were already people below who couldn't sit still, and no one was chattering and complaining, only to see that there was a long snake from the south to the north in a small effort.

The old secretary looked at the people sitting on the stool at the bottom, only a third was left, and he saw that one by one was pulling his head and no one had lost his temper!

At this time, I saw a person running in from outside the gate in a hurry, muttering a few words in the ear of the dog left, only to hear the dog leftover "ah", and then gave the book to the old secretary and said: "Come on, there is something wrong with the shoe factory." ”

After saying that, the dog ran out of the brigade headquarters and went straight to the Grand Canal.
