Chapter 4: The Angry Peasants
A large crowd of people had gathered on the road ahead, and it was clear from the way they dressed and the shovels and pickaxes they held in their hands that it was a group of peasants.
"What the hell!" Lao Zhang muttered, slowed down the car, and when the car approached the crowd, he honked his horn and motioned for the farmers to get out of the way.
Hearing the horn of the car, the farmers set their eyes on the two Santana 2000s, and a few of them waved their hands impatiently and said, "What is it called?" This road does not allow outside cars to go, you go back! ”
Lao Zhang is a little angry, he drives in the municipal axe, and he has always been unimpeded in Haizhou City, but today he is blocked here by this group of old farmers. He rolled down the window and shouted impatiently outside, "Get out of the way!" This is the car of the municipal axe, and in the car is the city leader, and the matter of the leader is delayed, can you afford this responsibility? ”
"City leaders' cars?"
The peasants did not get out of the way, as Lao Zhang had imagined, but instead surrounded them angrily with shovels and pickaxes.
"Who is the city leader, come down! We're looking for city leaders! The first few peasants shouted.
Bao Xiaofei chuckled in his heart, he looked at the angry and hostile eyes of the farmers outside the car, and secretly said that it was broken. Although I don't know what these farmers are going to say to the city leaders, it won't be a good thing to look at the posture. At this time, it was too late to let Lao Zhang reverse the car, and the front and back of the car were surrounded by farmers, if it was in the past, Fang Zhonghai was here, and it would not be a problem to protect Boss Xiao Zhao, but now that Fang Zhonghai is not there, it is obviously unreliable to rely on Lao Zhang, a thin middle-aged driver. If you want to protect your boss, you just have to rely on yourself.
Thinking of this, Bao Xiaofei turned his head and whispered, "Boss, don't move in the car, I'll go down." Without waiting for Zhao Changfeng to speak, Bao Xiaofei had already pushed the door down.
Now that the situation is unclear, of course Zhao Changfeng can't let Bao Xiaofei go out of the car alone, he explained to Lao Zhang: "Take care of your car." Then he pushed the door and got out of the car.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they were surrounded by peasants with shovels and pickaxes. Although Bao Xiaofei was beating a drum in his heart, he took half a step forward, blocked Zhao Changfeng behind him, and said to the farmers: "Fellow villagers, what do you have to reflect?" ”
The peasants surrounded Bao Xiaofei and Zhao Changfeng and shouted: "We are looking for the city leader, which of you is the city leader?" ”
The peasants have the logic of the peasants, there are a total of three people in the car, of course the city leaders will not drive themselves, then the driver is excepted, and one of the remaining two people must be a city leader.
Bao Xiaofei didn't wait for Zhao Changfeng to speak, so he hurriedly said: "Of course I am the city leader. ”
Zhao Changfeng understood Bao Xiaofei's intentions, he didn't speak, and stood quietly behind Bao Xiaofei, watching the development of the situation.
"You're a city leader?" The first middle-aged farmer stared at Bao Xiaofei with wary and suspicious eyes, obviously a little unconvinced by his words, "I don't see it." He pointed at Zhao Changfeng and said, "He's the city leader, right?" ”
Bao Xiaofei chuckled in his heart, but said funny: "He is a city leader? What do you look at? You don't look at how old he is. Is there such a young leader? Also, if he were a leader, would he still sit in the back of the car? ”
Although in a hurry, Bao Xiaofei quickly found a reason to convince the farmers that he was the leader.
First of all, Zhao Changfeng is only twenty-nine years old, but Bao Xiaofei is thirty-four years old, so in terms of age, there is no doubt that Bao Xiaofei is more like a leader.
Secondly, let's talk about the location of the car. In the eyes of ordinary people, the co-pilot position of the car is spacious and has a wide field of vision, which is undoubtedly the best position, of course, it is reserved for the leader to sit, and ordinary personnel can only nest in the back. So in the eyes of ordinary people, it is the leader who sits in front of the car.
Of course, it cannot be said that this view is unreasonable. As far as grassroots units are concerned, most of the people sitting in front of the trolley are leaders. Why? Because the funds of the grass-roots units are limited, a unit only has one or two cars, which are usually used when the following employees go out to do errands in addition to carrying leaders. Sometimes, there may be a situation where the leader and the employees of the unit ride together. At this time, the leader naturally can't squeeze together with the employees, so the best choice is to sit in the front co-pilot seat, one seat per person, wide and spacious. Employees huddled in the back, two or three crammed in. Therefore, in grassroots units, people know that most of the people sitting in front of the car are leaders.
But when it reaches a certain level, the leader will sit in the back. There are many reasons for this, such as the higher the official position, the more precious the life, and the safety factor is much higher than sitting in the front. There is also to that level, the leader's car is basically a special car, if there is no invitation from the leader, who dares to share a car with the leader? Therefore, there will be no embarrassing situation like that of grassroots leaders.
Bao Xiaofei believes that in the experience of these farmers, they must also think that it is the leader who sits in front, so he will use this reason to convince the farmers to believe that he is the city leader.
Sure enough, the peasants believed that Bao Xiaofei was the city leader, and they said nonsense: "You are the city leader, so you give us an explanation, our land has been occupied for five years, why haven't we been given compensation?" ”
"The township cadres said that the money in the city has not been allocated, so why not allocate it? Did the city swallow up the land compensation? ”
"We have no land, we have no way to grow food, and we are not given compensation, so how can we live?"
"Why are you looking for someone to bulldoze our fish ponds? We must be compensated! ”
"Yes, if you don't give us an explanation today, you won't want to leave!"
…… Listening to the agitated words of the farmers, Bao Xiaofei became nervous in his heart, it turned out that the farmers came for land compensation. A fine layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and the back of his T-shirt was also wet. Listening to the tone of the peasants, this compensation has been owed for more than five years, and since it has been owed for five years, it shows that this compensation is definitely not something that can be solved in a few words! It doesn't matter if you trap him here, but if something goes wrong with Boss Xiao Zhao, it will be a dereliction of duty on his part as a secretary.
No, you have to find a way to get the boss out first.
Bao Xiaofei was in a hurry, he raised his hands and said to the surrounding farmers: "Fellow villagers, if there is anything we can talk about slowly, including the matter of this compensation, I can stay and talk with you slowly." But you can't detain this car. My car is loaded with first-aid medicines, and someone in my hometown is suddenly ill, so I specially invited a doctor to visit my hometown. ”
Speaking of this, Bao Xiaofei turned his head and said loudly to Zhao Changfeng: "Doctor Zhao, I will leave it to the farmer brothers to chat, and I will leave it to you to rescue the patient." Why don't you go quickly? ”
The driver, Lao Zhang, was also worried that something would happen to Mayor Zhao, and after listening to Bao Xiaofei's words, he also hurriedly got out of the car and took Zhao Changfeng's hand and said: "Doctor Zhao, life is at stake, you get in the car quickly, we will rescue the patient!" ”
The farmer brother was still plain, and when he heard that the young man behind the city leader in front of him was a doctor and was going to rescue the patient, the middle-aged farmer led by him waved his hand and said: "Everyone get out of the way, let the driver take the doctor to rescue the patient." ”
The peasants with shovels and pickaxes clamored to get out of the way.
The middle-aged farmer said to Bao Xiaofei: "The doctor can go to the patient's rescue, but you must stay and solve the problem for us!" ”
Bao Xiaofei saw that Zhao Changfeng was still not moving, so he pushed him and said, "Doctor Zhao, get in the car!" If you go, tell my family, I'm here to talk to the villagers, and there's nothing to do. ”
"Xiao Bao, thank you for your kindness!" Zhao Changfeng stretched out his hand and patted Bao Xiaofei's shoulder, at this time, he couldn't go, and there was no need to go. Although these peasants are holding shovels and pickaxes and look very unfriendly, Zhao Changfeng believes that the peasant brothers are still reasonable. The one who can endure hardships in the whole Huaxia country is the most able to endure humiliation and bear the burden and the easiest to give some benefits, and he is satisfied with it. As long as he can show sincerity, even if he can't meet the conditions of the peasant brothers, Zhao Changfeng doesn't believe that the peasant brothers will really treat him.
Seeing Zhao Changfeng's attitude, Bao Xiaofei said in his heart that he wanted to be bad, but he was making a final attempt in his mouth: "Doctor Zhao......"
Zhao Changfeng waved his hand and said, "Xiao Bao, don't say it!" ”
He turned to the peasants around him and said, "Hello, folks. Just now, my secretary, Comrade Bao Xiaofei, made a joke with everyone. I'm not a doctor, I'm Zhao Changfeng, the new executive vice mayor of Haizhou City, and I just came to Dongjiang today to inspect road construction. ”
"What? You are the new Executive Vice Mayor Zhao Changfeng? The middle-aged farmer led by him was stunned.
"Yes, it's me." Zhao Changfeng said with a smile.
"Is that Zhao Changfeng, who was the secretary of the county party committee in Yuehai County?" The middle-aged farmer asked again.
"Yes, I've worked in Yuehai County for more than a year." Zhao Changfeng nodded and said.
"Zhao Qingtian, you have to call the shots for us!" The middle-aged farmer suddenly burst into tears.
The surrounding farmers were also stunned, what happened to Yuan Laoer? Didn't he keep saying that he was going to lead the big guys to fight with those bad guys and those corrupt officials? Why did you cry in fear when you saw this young deputy mayor? Could it be that he is a man without eggs? It's not like ah, Yuan Lao Er wasn't like this before!
"Fellow, don't cry, if you have any grievances, how can I help you solve the problem when you cry?" Zhao Changfeng said with a pleasant face.
Bao Xiaofei was very eye-catching, immediately opened his handbag, took out a tissue, and stuffed it into Yuan Lao's second-hand hand: "Yes, our Mayor Zhao is in charge of you!" Come, wipe your tears! ”
