At ten o'clock in the morning, the sky turned cloudy and clear, and the door of Lao Fan's house suddenly became lively.

First of all, Secretary Xu came.

Probably heard about what happened at the door of Lao Fan's house yesterday, and he came to inquire about it.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but tell him again and again: "Old Fan, this kind of thing must not happen again in the future." Do you think, the county party committee and county government now attach so much importance to our Shili Village, right? As long as the county party committee and county government pay attention to it, there is hope for our Shili Village, and poor households like you are also the most benefited. Didn't Minister Guan personally come to your house a few days ago to deliver money and food? Yesterday's incident, if Minister Guan really knew about it, then she wouldn't come to Shili Village again in the future-"

Lao Fan naturally said yes again and again, sent it all the way to the door, and repeatedly assured Secretary Xu that such a thing would never happen again in the future.

After listening to Lao Fan's assurance, after nodding his head a few times in succession, Secretary Xu's face became solemn, and he said with his hands behind his back: "However, don't worry, I also inquired before I came." Yesterday's incident, the main responsibility is not with you Lao Fan, nor with Xiao Fan, but with the Lu family father and son. My Lao Xu has been the secretary of the village party committee for so many years, his eyes are thieves more than anyone else, and his heart is brighter than anyone else. This time, your family is eight taels, and you took the first place in the town in the college entrance examination, and you also fought for the face of our Shili Village. So, I decided that at the beginning of next month, I will make up for your family a civilized household! ”

Lao Fan suddenly smiled, and said loudly in surprise: "Oh, that's really Secretary Xiexie Lao Xu!" xiexie, xiexie, too xiexie—"

Don't underestimate the small card of the civilized household, as long as it is hung in the center of the lintel, it means that by the end of the year, you can get a cash reward of 60 yuan, as well as five catties of tofu and sugar.

Moreover, for so many years, the civilized household card has always been hung in the center of the lintel of other people's houses.

The people of the old Fan family generally go to other people's houses to see, envy and envy, and hang up their own homes, so they don't even think about it.

When Secretary Xu's face suddenly became solemn, Lao Fan was still worried for a while.

Who knows, this dignified actually dignified a great thing.

Therefore, Lao Fan was not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

At the end, Secretary Xu dragged Lao Fan to him and asked mysteriously: "Oh, Lao Fan, I wonder about one thing." Your family was eight taels, wasn't it boring before? Why is it suddenly like a different person? It is said that the female university has changed eighteen, but I have never heard of the eighteen changes in the male university! By the way, the last time I was in the village committee office, I found that this kid is really different from before. Tell me, is reading really that magical? ”

After Secretary Xu finished speaking, he took out a pack of red Good Day brand cigarettes from his pocket, stuffed them into Lao Fan's pocket, and then put his hands behind his back again, and said as he walked: "After a while, Deputy Mayor Feng of Shili Town may come to your house, you can use this cigarette, don't embarrass me." You old Fan, now you are more popular than me, the secretary of the village party committee-"

The second came was Monkey San and his mother.

As soon as he entered the old Fan's house, the mother of the third monkey scolded her son, what a sin, a ruined son, everything was scolded.

Speaking of anger, she also reached out and slapped the back of the monkey's head three or two times.

Probably because of the pain, Monkey San hugged the back of his head with both hands, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I originally came to admit my mistake, why are you still hurting so much?" In the future, I won't fool around with Erlong, won't I be able to? ”

Monkey San's mother knew that her hand was a bit heavy, and she felt distressed, but she still reprimanded forcibly: "You also know that it hurts?" When you followed the back of Erlong's ass to do evil, why didn't you know that your mother's heart also hurt? When you were a child, I asked you to learn from Brother Eight or Two, learn from Brother Eight or Two to study hard, and you will have a good future in the future, but you just don't listen to me. If you dare to talk back, my mother will have to smoke-"

As she spoke, she raised her arms and hands in a gesture of pumping again.

In fact, she is usually arrogant to this baby pimple-like son.

In the final analysis, it is the heart of discipline that can't be ruthless, and when the child is older, he can't control it.

On the other hand, Lao Fan is naturally clear about the details of Lao Hou's family.

So, knowing that the mother was pretending to smoke again, he immediately stopped it, and stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Monkey three mother, the child just said, he knows it's wrong." If you know it's wrong, you don't fight. ”

This statement directly made Monkey Sanniang cry like rain, looking like a miserable widow.

After a long time, she stopped crying, and then reprimanded Monkey San, begging: "Old Fan, I won't tell you, I am making amends to your old Fan family for the dead old man in our family today." You also know that monkey san is the lifeblood of our old marquis, and it is obtained by worshipping Guanyin and asking for the Bodhisattva. In the past, he always bullied your family, and it was all because Lu Erlong was bad and provoked our monkey three to do that. I also heard about yesterday's incident, and the eight taels of this kid are red-eyed. Our monkey three was frightened, and his father was also frightened, for fear that Baliang would not spare him-"

Just hearing this, Lao Fan understood everything: the old Hou family came to the door for the first time, because they were worried about revenge in the future.

However, he couldn't help but tremble, and he was shocked:

A few days ago, he was ruthless and wanted to punish eight taels, but this kid was a donkey temper, and he just didn't kneel.

When he raised the stick to beat, he knelt down and stopped it, saying that over the years, Baliang has been beaten by others, and he has long been used to being beaten. At that time, I was still skeptical about this, but now it seems that I am really confused.

In other words, Lao Fan knows that Monkey San can come to the door today to admit his mistakes, which just shows that Ba Liang has indeed been beaten by others over the years: alas, being a father, he only knows how to shrink at home and drink all day long, and the doll has suffered so many sins outside, and he doesn't even know at all, but he still has to blame and punish-

Thinking of this, Lao Fan felt very sad, and then thought of the forced stick yesterday, and now his arm was in pain and trembling.

So, with a moment of grief and indignation, he didn't even want to speak, just closed his eyes and nodded, turned his back again, waved his hand weakly, and motioned for the monkey three to hurry up.

**********

Near noon, a black government official car slowly drove up and stopped at the door of Lao Fan's house.

The first to get out of the car was a driver-like offspring.

He walked quickly to the right door of the back row and greeted a middle-aged man in a gray T-shirt.

Immediately afterwards, the left door also opened, and out of it came a young man in green pants and a white shirt, about thirty-two or thirteen years old.

The young man walked up to the middle-aged man with a smile and pointed to Lao Fan, who was running from the door to greet him, as if he was introducing something.

The middle-aged man looked at Lao Fan and nodded from time to time.

Then, after some excuse and courtesy, the two walked side by side.

The driver's offspring did not follow, but returned to the driver's seat and did not come out again.

Approaching, the young man first stretched out his hand enthusiastically and said with a smile: "It's Lao Fan, right?" I am Deputy Mayor Feng of Shili Town. This is Director Zhou of the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee, and he came from afar to ask you about something. I don't know if I have disturbed your old man, if there is an obscurity, please forgive me, hehe. ”

Just after the introduction, Director Zhou, who was already stretched out his enthusiastic hands, held Lao Fan's hand with a smile: "Do you remember?" Last time, Minister Guan came to your house, and I accompanied you—"

Lao Fan seemed to have a little impression of Director Zhou, but he couldn't remember it clearly, so he also smiled and let the two county and town cadres hold their hands and keep shaking.

After shaking it off, Lao Fan hurriedly took out the pack of Good Day brand cigarettes from his pocket and hurriedly opened it.

Director Zhou gently squeezed Lao Fan's hands and said with a smile: "No need, we don't smoke." Because it's not a big deal, when we come, we will only inform your old Secretary Xu and tell you for me. It's almost noon, so I can't delay your meal and rest. In a moment, I still have a few places to run, so let's make a long story short, do you think it's okay? ”

In the end, it is Minister Guan's person, and he can't see a little shelf anywhere, and Lao Fan really feels down-to-earth in his heart.

After all, Lao Fan has a good impression of the minister named Guan Yan.

So, he smiled and said casually: "If you have anything to say, Director Zhou just ask." As long as my old fan knows, I will tell the truth. ”

And then, when Director Zhou said that sentence with a relaxed face, Lao Fan was immediately nervous, and even the unopened box of cigarettes accidentally shook off his feet.

Because, when he heard the name that called him, he immediately panicked: Guan Yuelei!

Director Zhou asked: "Comrade Fan, in the early years, have you heard that there is a person named Guan Yuelei in the village?" ”
