"Thank you folks for your kindness! If you come to it, you will be safe, and my old Zhang is ashamed of it! Let's all sit down, all sit down! The old secretary wiped away a handful of tears and beckoned everyone to sit down together.

"Old secretary, we mountain people have nothing else, we can't take out chicken, duck and fish, walnuts, jujubes, peanuts and other local specialties. You see, these wines are all home-brewed, and drinking too much will not hurt your body. At this time, Lao Ningtou said to the old secretary.

"Come on, folks, everyone invited me in this way, and welcomed us with such a thick courtesy, we really deserve it! Although we are living a peaceful life now, our lives are still not rich, and we have to work harder! Everyone looks at this old Ning head next to me, I have come all the way with my ears twisted from that time. Today he is our leader, and I am very pleased! Today, through a short period of contact, I found that Lao Ningtou is different from before, very promising, he will be our leader, my old secretary is a hundred rest assured, he will definitely lead our big guys to live a good life! Come, I borrow this bowl of wine, I hope that you will continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work of the people in the old area, build our hometown better, and live a richer life! After the old secretary finished speaking, he drank it all!

The streets are full of people, men, women and children, and they are very lively, such a scene is like the New Year.

"Old secretary, don't praise me, if you want to praise, praise our fellow villagers, they work hard, never complain, all actions are under command, do what they say, and never be ambiguous! We mountain people are the least afraid of hardship, and what we have is the vigor to work hard for socialism! Old secretary, do you remember? You once said that it would be nice to dig an irrigation canal to the south of the village. You're right! Two years ago, the People's Liberation Army dug a canal for us and brought water from the Gangnan Reservoir, which is the line you mentioned. With this canal, we will no longer rely on the sky for food, there will be water to water the ground, the harvest will be good, this food and clothing will basically be solved, and this day will be better and better! Lao Ningtou said.

"Yes, yes! That's good! I'll just look at that place on the hill, and digging a canal from there is no better place to dig it, and I hope your days will get better and better! The old secretary said.

"Thank you, old secretary, we will all work hard, the people take food as the sky, and we will build our hometown better!" It's just that there is too little arable land, and this mountain is no better than the plains, and crops can be grown anywhere. The conditions here are much worse, and I can't get much arable land even after digging all over the ditches! Lao Ningtou said.

"Well, that's a very real problem. But the more we are like this, the more we must use our brains, seek benefits from high yields, and make use of all available resources as much as possible to benefit the people! The old secretary said.

"Yes, yes, old secretary, you can't solve the problem just by waiting! Self-help in production and self-help in brain is the most active way! Lao Ningtou said.

"Well said, well said, old Ningtou! Old Ningtou, I came there this time, and I need your help for one more thing. When the old secretary said this, he looked at the villagers and said, "Folks, you eat, I drank this bowl of wine, say a few words to Lao Ningtou, and leave us alone!" Then he picked up the bowl and drank it all, and said to Lao Ningtou: "Here's the thing, is there a girl named 'Cui'e' in your village?" The old secretary brought the topic to the point and said.

"There is indeed a girl named Cui'e, and their family has the same surname as me, surnamed Wang. I read your letter of introduction, and the situation in their family is like this now, her parents are gone, and the child is left alone. A few years ago, the child was still a minor, and she happened to have an uncle, so she was just one relative. So we found him and mentioned the idea that we needed him to foster Cui'e. At first, he disagreed, on the grounds that there were many people in the family and the life was not rich, and he said that there was another one with an open mouth, and he couldn't support it. Later, we said that you are his own uncle, and you don't care who cares? If you have difficulties, you can ask them, let's find a way together, a big living person can't be left unattended, right? Lao Ningtou said.

"Well, where did it come?" The old secretary asked again.

"Things are going well, and he agrees to adopt, but it seems to be quite reluctant. But after a few years, the child gradually grew up and ate more, and their family was a boy, and there was not much ration, but I didn't expect this Cui'e to eat more than the boy. At this time, the old Wang Tou had an opinion, and scolded the child at every turn all day long, and in the end, he even limited Cui'e's amount of food. The child is hungry, sometimes he steals food, and now the old king is even more anxious, and he has developed the problem of beating the child, and sometimes the words are quite ugly! After all, the child is old and sensible, and he knows that he is fostered by someone else, so he has an idea in his heart. I heard from the three comrades you sent that Cui'e hanged herself and was rescued by Da Zhuang's father. At that time, I knew the news, and I felt very uncomfortable, what do you say about this? Lao Ningtou said.

"Did you go to Cui'e and his uncle about it?" The old secretary asked.

"I've found it, I've told him everything, guess what he said? It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead! She can do whatever she likes! Whoever else likes to pick it up, whoever picks it up feeds, I can't afford to raise her anyway! It's time to get married in a few years, I can't get anything for a long time, but I feed someone else, I still eat the last meal and don't have the next meal, you just get it back for me, I won't raise it! What can you do about this?! Lao Ning said with his hands outstretched.

"Well, that's pretty much the thing." The old secretary took a puff of his cigarette, pondered for a long time, and said, "Cui'e's reaction is also fierce now!" As soon as I listened to your introduction, the situation basically coincided. Cui'e's current situation is that she is reluctant to come back, and his uncle is also unwilling to accept it. Lao Ningtou, you can think of a way to see if there is anything else? The old secretary said.

"I can't help it! You said that one is unwilling to accept it, the other is unwilling to come back, the village can only help so much, we have tried our best, what else should we do? Lao Ningtou said.

The old secretary looked at Secretary Huo, and Secretary Huo said, everyone wants to find a way, and a big living person can't be ignored. The old secretary looked at Yu Jianshe again, and Yu Jianshe had a look on his face, "What can I do"?

"Old Ningtou, why don't you go and call Cui'e's uncle over, and I'll talk to him." The old secretary said.

"Okay, you wait, I'll call him." After Lao Ningtou finished speaking, he got up and left.

After a lot of effort, Lao Ning led a person back again. The old secretary hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is Cui'e's uncle. Old Wangtou, I don't need to introduce these people. Lao Ningtou said.

"Come on, come on, you sit, everyone is no one else, let's sit down and chat casually today." The old secretary hurriedly gave up his seat to the old king and said.

"Old secretary, I know you came to me for Cui'e's business. Lao Ningtou has told me about Cui'e, I know everyone is anxious about this, but what can I do? I really can't afford to raise her, you have to think about it for me? I have a son, a half-infertile boy who eats Lao Tzu to death, plus her, I can't stand it! After the old king finished speaking, tears came down.

"Old Wangtou, don't worry. You see, we're here to solve problems, not to do anything with you. The current standard of living is obvious, and no one is far behind. Through my contact with Cui'e in the past few days, I found that this child is very sensible and can endure hardships, in my opinion, children like this are eager for others to rush to get that, you picked up a daughter for nothing on the way, but why don't you want it? The old secretary said.

"Old secretary, Cui'e, this kid is good, I know this! It's just one thing, eating too much, a pot of dry food and more than a dozen cakes, it's not enough for her to eat alone, that's the ration for our whole family for a day, who can stand it! Old Wang Tou paused and continued: "Old secretary, do you think it's okay if I have an idea?" ”

The old secretary hurriedly said: "You say, you say, our purpose is to solve the child's problem, whoever has a way, whether it is right or wrong, can say it!" ”

"Okay, you see that Cui'e's child is not too young, and it's time to get married, there are just your two secretaries present today, you can match and match, and find a good family for Cui'e to marry!" It's not easy for me to raise her for so many years, I don't want a bride price, do you think it's okay? The old king said.

The old secretary looked at Secretary Huo, and the old secretary thought, don't say it, this is really a good idea! But if you find her a good family, it's not easy to say. Besides, it takes time to find someone for her, and it's not easy for a while!

"Old Wangtou, what you said is a good idea, but this matter is not in a hurry, we will definitely remember this matter, and we will do our best to do it. But in this process, did Cui'e go home first? The old secretary said.

"You just spare me, old secretary, she eats at home for a day, and our half-month rations are gone, which is also a practical difficulty for the masses, so you can help!" You think I'm willing, kid, but I really can't help it! The old king said.

Syllable!

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a crisp sound of a horsewhip! People all thought of one person: Da Zhuang Dad!

"Okay, let's let this matter go first, I'll think of a way to go back with Secretary Huo, and we'll call you back when there's news, okay?" The old secretary said to the old king.

"Okay, thank you, old secretary, you have done a great thing for our family, thank you very much!" The old king said with a thousand thanks.

"Alright, so be it. Everyone heard the whip just now, Da Zhuang must be waiting for us on the slope, everyone sees that this day is not early, it is really time to go back! Thank you for your hospitality, I will definitely come to see you when I have time! The old secretary said.

"The old secretary must remember to come back, the villagers are thinking about you!" Lao Ningtou said.

"The old secretary has gone all the way! The old secretary remembered to come back! ”

Everyone was reluctant to say goodbye, and the villagers sent one ride after another, saying goodbye with tears!
