Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo are different from Bai Deli and Bai Derong, they originally belonged to the last branch of the Wulong Bai family, and the older generations have never been officials. Suddenly became the group leader and electrician, and the two brothers Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo got a little carried away. Especially Bai Baoguo, when an electrician is affordable, he can spend money by collecting electricity bills, and his waist is thicker, and he can't do it horizontally.

There is another reason why Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo brothers are cross, that is, their sister-in-law Bai Aiyue is good-looking, and Xu gave it to the son of Xu Zhonghou, the village secretary of Wulong Village, and became the director of the Women's Federation of Wulong Village.

When the township cadres go to the countryside in Wulong Village, they generally like to eat at the clean and beautiful Bai Aiyue's house.

Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo have a battle situation, so naturally they don't know what their surname is.

Wulong Village is located on the edge of the Wulong River, which has convenient access to water, and every household has water in their yards. In the past, villagers used to connect bamboo to draw water from the upper reaches of the Wulong River to the west of the village, so that every household could drink water and take a shower. In 92 years, a poverty alleviation team in Shuiquan City lived here to alleviate poverty, and replaced the simple bamboo water pipes used by the villagers with plastic pipes and installed faucets. The villagers only need to turn on the tap to save water and bathe. In the summer, men go to bathe in the Wulong River, and women take a shower at home. In winter, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law who pay attention to cleanliness can also boil water and bathe at home, which is very hygienic.

There is a river with good water, there are bamboo gardens and mountains and forests all over the mountains and forests nourished by the water of the Wulong River, and the banks of the Wulong River have become a famous beauty nest in Mingshui, the girls are beautiful and neat, and the young men are also very clean, and the young men of the surrounding villages are proud to be able to marry daughters-in-law in the villages along the Wulong River.

Bai Aiyue is two years younger than Chen Guan, graduated from high school, is beautiful, and is the director of the Village Women's Federation.

The reason why Bai Baoguo forced Chen Xuezhi to write a note was because they knew that the Chen family was incapable of repaying the money.

The two brothers had a very secret idea in their hearts, that is, the Bai family compound occupied by the village committee was originally the old Bai family, and the spacious seven five-room large quadrangle courtyard houses were also occupied by the village committee, and if the village committee could sell the Bai family compound to their brothers, it would be regarded as recovering the ancestral property of the Bai family. But no one dared to do this, and Xu Zhonghou, the village party secretary, did not dare to sell the Bai family compound, which was a symbol of the victory of the struggle in Wulong Mountain! If Chen Xuezhi, the son of Chen Dade, the revolutionary banner of Wulongshan District, can come out and say that he has sold the Bai family compound and reduced the burden on the villagers, it is estimated that others will have nothing to say.

Because of this secret thought, Bai Baoguo spoke aggressively, dug a pit and waited for Chen Xuezhi to jump in. was prepared to wait for Chen Xuezhi to sign and repay the arrears when due, so as not to use the arrears as a condition to blackmail Chen Xuezhi to come forward and ask the village committee to auction the Bai family compound.

If this matter had been left before the reform and opening up, Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo would not even dare to think about it. After the reform and opening up, the society gradually became fairer, and the two brothers felt that they had earned money from their labor and should take back their ancestral property. Although the Bai family's compound originally had nothing to do with his family.

There is an old saying in the countryside of Mingshui, which says that one generation is strong and the other generation is weak. Chen Deda is so heroic, how could he have thought that his son Chen Xuezhi would be tortured by life and become the master of bullying.

Chen Xuezhi's forehead was full of green tendons: "Write a note, write a note, I, Chen Xuezhi, just pull a stick and ask for food, and I will pay you back!" ”

Bai Aiguo immediately said that he would go to his house to set up the note, and then send a telegram to Chen Xuezhi to make a microphone.

When Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo raised their feet to leave, they found that Chen Guan had come back and stood quietly watching them.

White shirt, jeans, black leather sandals, Chen Guan stood there nonchalantly, his face sinking like water.

Bai Aiguo hurriedly said: "Yo, Guanzi is back?" ”

Chen Guan said coldly: "How much does my family owe?" ”

Bai Aiguo couldn't imagine that Chen Guan had money in his pocket, and when he saw that Chen Guan's tone was not good, his face became stiff: "Brother Chen Guan, your family owes 177 yuan to the township coordinator and the village to retain, and 332 yuan in arrears for electricity, totaling 509 yuan." You are a college student, and you know the policy, so you can't pay this money. It's like your family, how can we do the work in our village? ”

Chen Guan took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, took out six 100 yuan sheets from it, and handed them to Bai Aiguo.

Bai Aiguo paused for a moment, and immediately smiled, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen Guan is sensible and reasonable, and he deserves to be a college student." ”

When Bai Aiguo was about to hold the money, Chen Guan suddenly retracted his hand, and under the eager eyes of Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo, he stuffed six hundred-yuan bills back into his wallet, and said slowly: "I remember that the standard for the overall planning of the village and the township is that it cannot exceed 5 percent of the net income of the peasants in the previous year. Even if a yard is a yard, each counts its own account, not to mention difficulties and relief, just say that my family's village retention and township co-ordination last year should not be as much as 177 yuan. Can you bring me the ledger and show me, if it is indeed 177 yuan, I will give you the money. It is natural to repay the debt, but first we have to make it clear whether we owe 177 yuan. You're right? ”

Bai Aiguo didn't expect Chen Guanlai to come to this hand, no matter how long his hand stretched out, he couldn't retract it, the smile on his face slowly condensed into the color of pig liver, and it took a long time to argue hatefully: "The account is calculated by the village committee, and it is determined according to the standard determined by the number of acres of land and labor." Your family has 6 acres of land and three people, and the township and village committee set a per capita burden of 59 yuan, 3927, 3515, and just 177 yuan. I don't have an account book, you have to settle the account and go to the village committee, less! ”

Chen Guan smiled after a while: "Team Leader Bai, is my family of three?" ”

Bai Aiguo was worried, and said casually: "You, your father, your mother, what are you if you are not a family of three?" ”

Chen Guan ignored him, took out a pack of simple mango cigarettes from his pocket, and scattered a cigarette for his father and Uncle Xueyi, Uncle Mingli, Brother Gen Bao, and Brother Gen Cheng who came to help with the wheat, and lit them one by one with a lighter, before walking up to his mother Zheng Yulian and asking, "Mom, is your headache better?" Why are you here on such a hot day? ”

When Zheng Yulian saw her son, she only felt that she had been greatly wronged, and she didn't care about answering her son's words, so she climbed onto her son's shoulder and started crying.

The more Zheng Yulian cried, the more angry Chen Guan became, and he just wanted to press Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo to the ground and beat them up. He has practiced sanda, and there is no problem in beating Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo. It's just that Chen Guan has graduated from college and is ready to go to work to show his skills, he is not a brave and ruthless scoundrel, especially when he returns to his hometown, he will never do it.

Chen Xuezhi and Zheng Yulian also went to junior high school back then, and they fell in love and got married freely, and they were also high-spirited, Chen Xuezhi had been the captain of the production team of Wulong Village for more than ten years, and the black locust forest on the slope of Wulong Village was planted by him and his members. It's just that because of the ups and downs of his father, his mother's mental disorder, and his wife Zheng Yulian's perennial illness, after a long time, life is difficult, and people are poor and short-minded, no matter how strong a man is, he will be tortured and inhuman.

Chen Xuezhi and Chen Guan had different ideas, he didn't realize that Bai Aiguo was wrong with counting the village and staying in the township according to the three people, because his family was divided into three people. Although his son Chen Guan has gone to college and the relationship between households and grain has changed, he feels that if he planted land for three people, he should volunteer and pay retention money according to the three people. Chen Guan didn't say it, he didn't realize that he had suffered a loss!

When Zheng Yulian's crying stopped, Chen Guancai walked up to Bai Aiguo again and said lightly: "Team Leader Bai, have you ever gone to school, can you do simple arithmetic?" My household registration has long been transferred, and there are only two people in my family's household registration book: my father and mother. You hear clearly, it's two, not three! My mother was sick all the year round and could not count labor, and my father was actually the only laborer in my family. If calculated according to labor, the overall manager of my village is only 59 yuan. If calculated by population, it is only 118 yuan. You get the idea, right? ”

Bai Aiguo's eyes blinked a few times, his face was black, red and black, and he said for a long time: "Your family divides the land according to 3 people, if you say that it is calculated according to 2 people, then you have to hand over 2 acres of land." , your family will return 2 acres of land, and I will calculate it for you as two people. ”

Chen Guan shook his head.

Bai Aiguo was energetic, and immediately said loudly: "It's the land of three people, and you still want to make overall plans according to the two people's transfer to the village and the township, why do you just think of good things?" If you don't pay today, let's go to the village committee to reason! ”

Chen Guan said slowly: "It's not that my family doesn't hand over these 2 acres of land, it's that the central government doesn't let me hand it over." The "Several Policies and Measures for the Development of the Current Agricultural and Rural Economy" promulgated in 1993 clearly stipulates that the original land contract will be extended for 30 years after the expiration of the contract, and the number of people will not be increased, and the number of people will not be reduced. When you are the leader of the group, has the township and village not organized you to study the central documents? Otherwise, let's go to the village, town, or county to reason now. Let's say it first, if I lose, last year's village Tiliu Township co-ordinated a lot of payments, and I am willing to apologize to you in front of the old and young masters of the village; If you lose, one will have to return the money that I have overcharged my family in the past few years, and I will have to apologize to my parents in front of the whole village, and let everyone comment to see if you are deliberately embezzling my family's money, or deliberately bullying my family. The other is that because you don't send electricity, my family will miss work, and even my family's wheat may not be able to be returned to the warehouse, so you have to give me the loss of this year's wheat harvest. Team Leader Bai, what should we do, let's go now? Where do you say to reason? Is it in the village, or in the town, or in the county? ”

Bai Aiguo was stunned by Chen Guan's words, and it took a long time to say: "Okay, good, count you as powerful!" Will I not accept your family's retention money? I went to the village committee to report, you Chen Guan is a college student, full of heads and mouths, I, a countryman, can't talk about you. I don't want this money! ”

After speaking, Bai Aiguo turned his head and was about to leave, when he heard Chen Guan shouting: "Slow! Team Leader Bai, everything can't be lifted by a single word. If our family should pay it, I have money on me, and everyone present can testify, and I can hand it over to you now. However, you have to go back first to figure out how much my family should pay in the past few years that you have been the team leader. How much you have paid, how much longer, how short, you have to carefully calculate it for me. I should pay a lot of money, and if you overcharge my family, you have to make it clear in front of the old and young masters of the whole village. How much overcharged? Why do you need to overcharge? Where did the overcharged money go? What is it for? You can make these four questions clear, and I don't need you to come to urge my family in the future, I will pay you last year's, this year's, including next year's one! ”

Seeing that his brother was poor by Chen Guan's reasoning, Bai Baoguo was reluctant, and shouted: "Everyone listen, Chen Xuezhi's family owes electricity and doesn't pay it, and it's a trick!" ”

Chen Guan smiled coldly: "Bai Baoguo, you have it!" You shout out your throat and see if there is a person in the village who listens to you? Don't look at me going home less, I know very well that you charge electricity bills and increase prices privately! Tell me, how many kilowatt-hours of electricity do I have in my home? How much is one kilowatt-hour of electricity? How much is the amount of electricity per kilowatt-hour stipulated by the township electricity management? You settle accounts with me, and I still have to settle accounts with you? I'll tell you, let's check the degree of my household appliance meter now, subtract the degree of electricity consumption last year, and then calculate it according to the price of electricity for rural lighting and wheat used by the township electricity management, and I will give you money on the spot, a lot of yours! If you charge an extra point, I will not finish with you, let's go to the town electricity management office, the county electricity bureau to reason, and by the way, the electricity accounts of the whole village will be thoroughly calculated, so that the villagers can see clearly. Walk! Check the meter to go! ”

Bai Baoguo softened suddenly.

Bai Baoguo's accounts are too tired to stand up to the calculations. Not to mention anything else, he and his brother's family use electric stoves for cooking, so aren't the electricity bills all spread out on the accounts of the whole village? In the past, no one in the villagers messed with them, and he could take whatever he wanted. But Chen Guan doesn't eat that set, and wants to settle accounts for him. Needless to say, whether he goes to the town electricity management office or the county electricity bureau, Bai Baoguo has to lose. If you can't do it, you can't talk about the electrician, but you have to talk about the economic problem.

The year before last, an electrician in a neighboring village was arrested by the procuratorate, and he was sentenced to five years in prison by the court.

Bai Baoguo's dirty collection of electricity bills, it's not that no one in the village said it. The key is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the fierce folk customs in Wulong Mountain District have been cured so that they will never return to the past, and the common people are not good. Bai Baoguo can calculate it as much as he wants!

Chen Guan tore his face and reasoned, and he hit the joint point of Bai Baoguo's electricity bill account, if Bai Baoguo was not convinced, this matter could only be made in a big way.

Bai Baoguo hurriedly went over to connect the power supply and said to Chen Xuezhi: "Uncle Xuezhi, the electricity has been sent to you, you can hit the microphone first." It's easy to talk about the electricity bill, and I will calculate it carefully with Brother Chen Guan when I go back. ”

After speaking, Bai Baoguo didn't say hello to Chen Guan anymore, and followed Bai Aiguo's ass and walked quietly along the road trench.
