"Looking for a house?" Lu Xueyou couldn't help but feel embarrassed, honestly, now in a small county like Qinglong, how many houses are available for rent? Even if there is, Lu Xueyou will not have access to this kind of information.

"Alas, it's a pity that there is only such a room at home, and in winter, I can't go to the sleeping room." Lu Xueyou is really a little difficult.

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Come on, let's go out and find a small restaurant to drink two cups, and we'll talk about the house when it's over." ”

Lu Xueyou suddenly slapped his head and said: "Yes, I have a co-worker, he should have an idle house there, he was fired last year, it was very difficult, renting his house, he must rent it, I don't know how to help him......" Speaking of this, he said to Lu Zheng: "Zhengzi, don't worry, I don't use you as a favor, this rent, I'll help you give it." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's the same." ”

Lu Xueyou said: "Don't come out if I say it, don't talk about this yet, it's still early, let's go to see the house first, and hurry up to settle this matter." ”

Lu Zheng bowed slightly.

"That place is called Guozhuang, four or five miles away from the county seat, Guozhuang Commune...... Ah, now it's called Guozhuang Township, just on the street of Guozhuang Township, there is a highway, it's very easy to walk, if you want to feel inconvenient when you turn back, I'll find you a car, in fact, it's such a two-step road, take a walk, and it should be exercised. Out of the house with Lu Zheng, Lu Xueyou went to the shed to push the cart, and said as he walked.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Okay." "Most of the people in Qinglong County are family homes and public houses, and it is really difficult to rent a house, so it is estimated that you can only find a bungalow on the outskirts of the city. Then he said, "Big brother, I'm here by car, let's take you there." ”

Yes? Lu Xueyou was obviously stunned.

When Lu Zheng came out and saw a car outside, Lu Xueyou was even more surprised and said, "Zhengzi, is this your car?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded: "My sister bought it for me." ”

Lu Xueyou was silent, thinking about Zhengzi, he was restless when he was a child, and now, he doesn't know what friends he has made.

After getting in the car, after a while, Lu Xueyou said: "Zhengzi, let's be down-to-earth." ”

Seeing his eager gaze, Lu Zheng's heart couldn't help but warm up, and he nodded slightly.

Although the asphalt road is in disrepair, it is not difficult to walk, after leaving the county seat, less than ten minutes, you will come to Guozhuang, and the asphalt road runs through this town.

Immediately, the "little potato" turned into the lower road under the command of Lu Xueyou, although it was winter, but the ruts that were run over by bicycles in the rainy season had dried out, forming potholes unique to dirt roads in rural villages.

"Stop, that's it." In front of a low courtyard, Lu Xueyou got out of the car and said, "I'll go first and take a look and find out his style." ”

In winter, it gets dark early, the lights of the small potato car are dazzling, and the voice of a person can already be heard in the yard: "Who is outside?" ”

Lu Xueyou immediately shouted with a smile: "Lao Bai, it's me." He walked over and pushed open the iron door without a latch, and immediately there was laughter and talk in the courtyard.

After waiting for about four or five minutes, Lu Xueyou walked back, followed by a middle-aged man, about forty years old, dressed as a typical peasant, with two hands in his sleeves, green pants and trousers, nodding his head and waist very obscenely.

Lu Xueyou said to Lao Bai with a smile: "This is what I said about Zhengzi, how do you look at it, people are righteous at a glance, and they will not cause you trouble if they keep it." He said to Lu Zheng again: "This is Big Brother Bai, Bai Erqiang." ”

Bai Erqiang looked at Lu Zheng and said with a smile: "It's all good, it's all good." Zheng ...... Brother Zhengzi, let's go in and see the house? ”

Bai Erqiang led the way, and Lu Xueyou and Lu Zheng followed behind to enter the hospital.

"Alas, this second strong, originally a very good person, but last year Secretary Ma came to engage in 'contracting', he was fired by the new factory director, and his wife ran away with someone again, he seems to be stimulated, and he is getting more and more into the eyes of money." Lu Xueyou sighed and muttered to Lu Zheng.

There are two cherry trees in the yard, three main houses, and peppers and corn hanging on the walls next to the windows, a typical farmhouse, but it is quite neat.

Bai Erqiang led Lu Zheng and Lu Xueyou to the West House, a very clean room, a writing desk, chairs, red cabinets, and complete furniture.

Bai Erqiang gestured to the house and said, "Look at it, these furniture are not old, but Guo Zhuang, you can inquire, is there anything cleaner than ours?" ”

Lu Xueyou smiled bitterly: "Isn't your daughter sensible?" Help you clean up this home every day? ”

Bai Erqiang smiled and said, "That's it, don't look at anyone's daughter?" He said to Lu Zheng again: "Zhengzi, do you think it's okay?" This is my daughter's room, and if you are satisfied, I will ask her to move to the backyard tonight and live with her sister. ”

The air in the room was fresh and refreshing, so Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I just didn't cause you any trouble, right?" ”

Bai Erqiang has been paying attention to Lu Zheng's face, and at this time he sighed and said: "The trouble must have increased, you don't know Zhengzi, my eldest brother's family in the front yard looks at me like an enemy, Xiaoshuang lives in her cousin's house in the front yard, she must be angry, but there is no way, I have no job and no income now, I have to subsidize the family, I can't really ask Xiaoshuang to work in the city, right?" She's still young, not old enough. ”

Lu Xueyou frowned and said, "Don't you have land?" ”

Bai Erqiang smiled, didn't answer Lu Xue's words, and said to Lu Zheng: "So I am reluctantly cutting my love, and looking at the face of Xueyou, the house is rented to you, but in this way, if you don't bargain, 10 yuan a month." Obviously, seeing that Lu Zheng was very satisfied, he sat on the ground and raised the price.

Lu Xue's eyes widened angrily: "Lao Bai, why don't you just grab it!" ”

Bai Erqiang spread his hands: "If you don't rent, forget it." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Brother Bai, I don't rent a place to live, your house has not been rented by me for a year and a half, and no one will necessarily ask, after all, you don't rent the entire yard, and the kind of small couple who rent a house don't look down on you here." So if we compare the two of us to a buying and selling relationship, this is called a buyer's market, I dominate, I have the final say. ”

Bai Erqiang rolled his little eyes, faintly feeling that this was really the case.

Lu Zheng said again: "That's it, the whole yard of your Qinglong suburban farmhouse is rented out at a market price of about 50-70 a year, you are far away from the county, and you only rent one room, I was not very satisfied, I want to live for a month to see first, your price is okay, if you really want to rent out, I will try to live for a month." Seeing that your house is very clean, in this way, 5 yuan, if you want to agree, we will sign the contract, and if you don't agree, forget it. ”

Bai Erqiang saw that Lu Zheng was not talking about himself, so he immediately deflated, and said helplessly: "That's okay, 5 yuan is 5 yuan." ”

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Then when will I be able to move in." ”

Bai Erqiang stretched out his hand: "As long as you give the money now, you can stay tonight!" ”

Lu Zheng and Lu Xue were speechless.

……

Zuihou Lu Zheng and Bai Erqiang agreed that Lu Zheng could move over on Tuesday night. Regarding Lu Zheng's request to change the locks of the doors and windows by himself, Bai Erqiang also agreed.

On the way back to the county seat from Guozhuang, Lu Xueyou sighed again, saying that Bai Erqiang became almost unrecognizable to him, and said: "I'm really a little worried about him now, don't follow your things in the future." Zhengzi, look at my face, turn around, I'll find it for you again, right? ”

Lu Zheng nodded: "Well, let's live first, let's look here, is there a more suitable one." ”

However, Qinglongren, surnamed Bai, Lu Zheng faintly remembered a person, and sighed softly in his heart.

When he arrived at the door of Lu Xueyou's house, he saw the lights in the courtyard, and Lu Xueyou smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is back." ”

Lu Zheng said: "Then I have to see, I heard that my sister-in-law is very beautiful." ”

stopped the car and turned off the fire, followed Lu Xueyou into the hospital, and then heard a broken shout: "Where did you die!" In front of the hall, there was a young woman like a tigress standing on her waist, in fact, the young woman was graceful and pretty, but this can eat people's momentum, which really destroyed her overall image, and it looked like she was more like a shrew.

Lu Xueyou seemed to have become accustomed to it, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm angry again, isn't it, Zhengzi is here, I'll accompany him to find a house." ”

Lu Zheng knew that this must be his sister-in-law Ai Fang, and during the time he lived in the guest house, he had never seen her, so he stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Sister-in-law." ”

Ai Fang glanced at Lu Zheng, judging from the confusion in her eyes, it was obvious that she didn't know who Zhengzi was, and Lu Xueyou should rarely mention Guangning's hometown to her.

"Then you should wait for me to come back, right? I thought you were kidnapped! Ai Fang said angrily, but with outsiders, her face softened, smiled at Lu Zheng, and said, "Have you eaten?" Your eldest brother is careless. ”

Lu Xueyou muttered: "I left a note, just put it on the coffee table......" was immediately glared at by Ai Fang, and stopped squeaking.

Lu Zheng smiled: "In this way, you and your eldest brother can eat, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." "This sister-in-law, although she is polite on her face, doesn't seem to be a good stubble, so why bother to annoy people here.

Who knew that Ai Fang frowned and said, "Zhengzi, right?" Did you see me like this, misunderstood me, your eldest brother's friend, you ask, when have I been wronged? No, let's eat and go! ”

Lu Xueyou said beside him: "Zhengzi grew up in my family, just like my own brother. ”

Ai Fang said: "This is not over? My brother is here, is it okay to skip a meal? Gotcha, your brother comes into the house and talks, and I'll cook. He asked Lu Zheng again: "Eat spicy food, right?" Are there any taboos? ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "There are no taboos. ”

……

The next day was Sunday, and Lu Zheng had nothing to do, so he simply drove off the Matou camp.

Thinking of Lu Xueyou and Ai Fang, my heart is still warm now, and I am really happy for Lu Xueyou's eldest brother and found a virtuous helper.

Originally, I was going to look for a house today, but I called the mechanical and electrical school yesterday to ask for leave, and from Qinglong to Wushan, with the current traffic conditions, it is four hours to drive Santana. So if you want to go to class, you can only go to the afternoon or evening of Saturday the day before, or if you leave on Sunday, you have to get up at two or three o'clock, drive all the way to the night train, and then go to school, it's almost seven or eight o'clock, and then you enter the state of studying, time is tight, and tired.

So since he asked for leave, he should rest, but Lu Zheng couldn't rest, thinking about it, he just got off the horse head camp and Qingtuo to understand the situation.

When he arrived at Matouying, it was more than 11 o'clock in the morning, and he had been here a few times, and he was familiar with it, so Lu Zheng went straight to the state-run hotel at the T-junction, ready to deal with it, and in this hotel, Lu Zheng still remembered that he reprimanded the principal of Lao He, and he didn't know what Lao He, who had been removed from the education system, was doing now.

A lot of things, usually there are policies and countermeasures, think about it, if no one below takes the opportunity to rectify Lao He, this person should not be in a very bad situation.

Outside the lobby of the hotel, there was a strong aroma of meatloaf, and there were many people eating inside, Lu Zheng just walked in, and the eldest sister in the white apron greeted her with a smile on her face, and diligently found a seat for Lu Zheng, she didn't remember Lu Zheng for a long time, and now her performance, Lu Zheng guessed that this state-run hotel must have been contracted to an individual.

There were three or five tables of people sitting in the restaurant, all dressed as peasants, but Lu Zheng sat among them in a gray Lenin suit, which was not too eye-catching, but his temperament was obviously different. Even if others can't see that Lu Zheng is a government official, at least at a glance, they feel that he should be working in the unit.

After eating two meatloafs, Lu Zheng came to the bar to check out, and in the buzzing lobby echo, he faintly heard a man in the private room next to the bar talking in a familiar voice, as if it was Zhao Pingfan?

Lu Zheng almost never forgets the people and things he cares about, such as silently writing the home addresses and contact numbers of those old cadres on the car.

When I came down to Matou Camp, I was originally going to talk to Zhao Pingfan.

Then I heard someone in the private room slap the table: "Zhao Pingfan!" Don't you want to do it anymore?! Let me tell you, Secretary Ma said, whoever calls him unhappy for a while, he will call whoever is unhappy for the rest of his life! You can do it! If it doesn't work, step aside! What does it mean to represent the secretary of the brigade to represent the villagers? Who do you negotiate terms with? Where the hell are you standing now?! ”

Lu Zheng thought for a while, then opened the curtain and walked in.

There was a sumptuous meal at the round table in the private room, and there were a circle of people sitting in it, and Zhang Mingsheng, secretary of the Party Committee of Matouying Commune, was also there.

Zhao Pingfan didn't seem to be a guest at this table, standing at the door with his back to Lu Zheng, although Lu Zheng couldn't see his expression, but looking at his slightly trembling shoulders, he knew that he must be very excited now.

The one who reprimanded Zhao Pingfan was a chubby cadre, white and clean, with a bloated figure, at this time the cadre was looking at Zhang Mingsheng and said: "Secretary Mingsheng, the cadres of your Matou Camp are very inexplicable, they are really one side of the water and the soil, what kind of cadres there are, what kind of people there are!" ”

Zhang Mingsheng laughed with him, but a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and then, he saw Lu Zheng who came in with the curtain of the door, was stunned, and hurriedly stood up: "County Magistrate Lu, why are you here?" ”

The enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the county party committee appointed by Lu Zheng was announced, and almost all the party secretaries of Qinglong townships (communes) attended, and Zhang Mingsheng knew that Lu Liang, deputy director of the education committee half a year ago, was the new county magistrate today.

The people at the table immediately stood up, Zhao Pingfan turned around and looked at Lu Zheng in surprise, he had always wanted to verify with Secretary Zhang Mingsheng whether the new county magistrate Lu Zheng was the former deputy director of the Education Commission, but he never found a suitable opportunity, but he didn't expect it, but he guessed correctly, and sure enough, it was this old acquaintance who was very close to him.

Lu Zheng made a gesture of drawing a circle and pressing down: "All sit, all sit." The words were so, but naturally there were cadres who immediately gave up their seats for him, and Zhang Mingsheng pointed to his main position: "County magistrate, you come here to sit." ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "No need. He sat down on the chair given by the nearest cadre, looked around at the crowd, and said, "There are many old friends, and some I don't know. ”

Zhang Mingsheng understood and hurriedly introduced everyone at the table to Lu Zheng, of course, he only introduced three or five people, two deputy secretaries of the commune, and three working groups from the county, and the white fat cadre was Ning Daoxian, the leader of the working group of the county party committee to deal with the work of withdrawing from the community and building the township in Matouying, and the deputy director of the Organization Department of the county party committee, who had been squatting in Matouying for more than a week.

Lao Ning didn't show much eagerness in the face of Lu Zheng, and reached out to shake hands with Lu Zheng very reservedly, and said, "County Magistrate Lu is good." Moreover, he was the first among the cadres present to sit down, and the rest of the cadres, Lu Zheng urged several times before they all slowly sat back in their positions.

Lu Zheng beckoned to Zhao Pingfan: "Ordinary, come, you can sit too." ”

The cadres who had their own organic spirit points hurriedly gave up their seats to Zhao Pingfan and pressed Zhao Pingfan on the seat.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "What's the matter? I heard it outside, and it seemed like a heated discussion? What's the matter? ”

After Ning Daoxian sat down, he took a toothpick to pick his teeth, listened to Lu Zheng's words, spit out a toothpick, pursed his lips disdainfully, and said: "This deputy director of Matouying Commune, Zhao Pingfan, not only did not cooperate with the work of the county party committee, but said that he represented the team secretaries and villagers of several villages, and hoped that the county party committee would carefully consider the contracting of land division and joint production in these villages. County Magistrate Lu, tell me, what is his current position? Do you have to criticize? In my opinion, the removal is enough! ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I think his position is fine, shouldn't we, party members and cadres, represent the interests of the people?" This is written into the party constitution! ”

Ning Daoxian was stunned, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but he was unwilling, and said, "But ......"

Lu Zheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, frowning slightly: "Lao Ning, what did I hear you say just now?" What do you say Secretary Wei said? Whoever makes him unhappy for a while, he makes people unhappy for a lifetime? Did Secretary Wei Guo say this? ”

Ning Daoxian's face immediately became rich, red and white, and said: "I, that's what I mean, Secretary Ma, how could Secretary Ma say such a thing." ”

Lu Zheng snorted, nodded, and said, "But Lao Ning, I'm different from Secretary Weiguo, I hold grudges!" Whoever wants to make me unhappy for a while, I will really make this person unhappy for the rest of his life! ”

The cadres present were stunned, and immediately, there was silence on the table.

Lu Zheng knocked on the table and pointed at Ning Daoxian: "You stand up now, walk out for me, get on the bus, and go back to the county!" ”

Ning Daoxian's white face turned red: "But, it's ......"

"Stand up!" Lu Zheng slammed the table, and the dishes made a chaotic noise.

Ning Daoxian was so frightened that he couldn't help but stand up, his face was extremely ugly, and his lips moved, but finally, he turned around and hurriedly walked out, and the other two members of the working group also picked up their bags, almost holding their heads.

The room was deadly silent, and the cadres present did not dare to breathe.

Lu Zheng shook his head, his face gradually calmed down, and he stretched out his hand to signal, "Now there are enough seats, all of you sit, a few of you, sit down." ”

The cadres who gave up their seats to Lu Zheng and Zhao Pingfan didn't dare to talk much, and they all sat down honestly.

Lu Zheng sighed softly, "Comrades, our party's policy is to take the interests of the people as the most fundamental starting point, whether it is the contracting of joint production or the withdrawal of cooperatives to build townships, it is all in the hope that the peasants will live a good life and embark on the road to prosperity. The masses do not understand the new policy, so we must do our work meticulously, and we must listen carefully to our demands. If it's simple and rude, it will be separated from the masses! ”

"Lao Ning, this person, has been in the agency for a long time, and he doesn't understand the following situation, if he hurts the feelings of our grassroots cadres and masses, I will say sorry on his behalf!"

No one dared to squeak, Zhang Mingsheng looked left and right, and said with a heavy face: "County Magistrate Lu, we are ashamed of what you said, because we didn't do our job well, I am here to make a statement and review you." ”

Lu Zheng waved his hand, looked at Zhao Pingfan, and said with a smile: "Pingfan, the following situation, you tell me, I see, you know the situation better." ”

Zhao Pingfan glanced at Zhang Mingsheng and said: "The problem of our Matouying is mainly that the team secretaries and members of the three production teams of Wang Zhuangzi, Xu Ying, and Beijiadian do not agree to divide the land. Families with less labor force are worried that there will be no one to cultivate the land after it is divided; As for families with a large number of laborers, they are afraid that there will not be enough land to plant, and they think that the previous work division system is more cost-effective and can bring greater benefits to their families. ”

Zhao Pingfan pondered, and said: "In addition, there is the Nan'an Gezhuang Production Brigade, because after the land was divided, all the members of the mule and horse distribution plan that originally belonged to the brigade were not satisfied, so they kept making trouble. ”

"The members of these four brigades stand guard at the gate of the commune every day and night, but they are not called to pick up the sign of the people's commune."

Lu Zheng laughed when he heard it: "Villagers, it's still very simple!" I think the situation in Qingtuo Commune is similar. “

Zhao Pingfan and Zhang Mingsheng both nodded silently.

Lu Zheng pondered and said: "In fact, the division of land and the withdrawal of the community to build the township were originally two issues, and the villagers linked them together, thinking that the commune had changed into a township, and they would definitely have to divide the land. ”

Zhang Mingsheng said: "Actually, it's about the same, these brigades have been dragging and refusing to divide the land, and now they are withdrawing from the community to build a township, naturally, we want to implement the joint production contract responsibility system in the whole township, but ......" wanted to stop talking, thought about it, and still didn't continue.

What he wants to say is that in Qinglong, the effect of land division is really not visible, most of the communes and production brigades in Qinglong have been implementing joint production contracting since the early 80s, but this has been three or four years, and I have not seen how rich the brigades that have implemented joint production contracting are richer than the few brigades that have not yet divided the land? Everyone is the same poverty, barely enough to eat.

Lu Zheng waved his hand: "It's not the same, it's two fundamentally different issues." I believe that after the establishment of the township, there are production brigades that are unwilling to divide the land and still want to retain the collective economy of the whole people, and we can let them exist. Feeling the stones to cross the river, I still say that everything starts from the interests of the people, this is also a kind of exploration, under the initial stage of socialist development, the exploration of different economic paths, I think, not to mention the collective economic model of the brigade, is the model of the people's commune, and it is completely necessary to reserve, so that we can let a hundred flowers contend, let a hundred flowers bloom, zuihou, and find a correct path suitable for our development. ”

As soon as he said this, the cadres present were dumbfounded.

Although Zhang Mingsheng knew that County Magistrate Lu was bold, he didn't expect that he would dare to intervene in the issue of the central route, although what he said sounded reasonable.

Zhao Pingfan echoed and said: "County Magistrate Lu is right, the No. 1 Central Document of 82 proposes that the production responsibility system of the socialist collective economy is to contract production to households and to households, but it only recognizes the legitimacy of joint production contracting. However, the central government has not issued a document explicitly calling for the banning of the collective economic model in which we take the production brigade as the unit. ”

Zhang Mingsheng didn't interject, just smiled and echoed twice.

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "In this way, Secretary Mingsheng, Pingfan, these four brigades, you have to go down to do your work meticulously, and you have to be patient and guided." What I said today, you can convey that if the commune is withdrawn, the collective economy of their production brigades will not be withdrawn, and the land will not be divided, and these will be decided by the general meeting of the members. ”

pondered and said, "Specific things, we can explore slowly." ”

Zhao Pingfan said happily: "In this case, the work will be easy to do." ”

Zhang Mingsheng just laughed and didn't squeak much.
