Chapter 13: The Old Palace
"Hello, Secretary Li. I am Ye Fan, the leader of the Tianshui Dam Village Working Group sent by Linquan Town, what happened today? If it is like this, there is no royal law in this world, alas! This kid is quite pathetic. ”
Ye Fan glanced at the young man, his heart was a little sour, and he said in his heart that this old man is not simple, and it is estimated that there is a story. Maybe he can be regarded as a hidden master, otherwise how could such a fierce Li Degui see him like a mouse seeing an old cat.
"Alas! His nickname is Eryazi. is named Wu Hong, who has no father or mother, and there is only one brother Wu Tong left in the family. I graduated from high school and joined the army the year before last, and the year before last and last year, I sent dozens of dollars back to Eryazi every month.
On our day, the dam is 60 yuan a month, which is quite a lot, but today has been 9 months, and his brother Wu Tong has not sent a single dollar back, and what is even more puzzling is that he has not even seen a letter.
It's hard to live without living expenses, but this kid is quite stubborn. Some neighbors of the Wu family asked him to go for a meal, but he usually didn't go, so he relied on his own little hands to plant something in the field.
Occasionally, I pick some wild vegetables on the mountain to deal with it, and my life is hard! This morning, I went to the mountain to pick up a mountain rabbit of more than ten catties and came back, and when I was washing, I realized that it was Degui who caught it with a trap yesterday. Degui also has a bad temper, thinking that Eryazi stole his mountain rabbit, so he ......"
Li Jingdong sighed helplessly.
"He said nonsense, I didn't steal Degui's mountain rabbit, this rabbit was caught by myself." Eryazi Wu Hong suddenly stood up and shouted.
"What did you catch, what did you catch? A large trap like this costs dozens of dollars, do you have any money? Even if you have money, do you have that? It's ridiculous. Li Degui yelled fiercely.
"What! Seeing that you are so old and still worrying about a small child, you don't have to beat anyone if you get the rabbit back. Li Jingdong glared at Degui.
"I didn't steal, I really didn't steal! You have wronged people, and you are all bad people. At this time, Wu Hong, the second bud, roared and rushed out of the crowd, and the blood stains on his back broke open with all his strength under the rage, and the blood flowed down his back. He didn't care about the smoke and ran away.
"Alas! This kid. The mouth is still very stubborn, and he doesn't admit his mistakes! Li Jingdong sighed, "Team Leader Ye, I'll take you to the village committee." ”
"Could it be that this hare was really caught by Eryazi himself? Maybe he was wronged. Ye Fan secretly thought in his heart that a few people walked towards the team headquarters.
Soon I saw a large three-story dilapidated wooden building, and the door plaque read: Tianshui Bazi Village Committee.
"Squeak-quack!"
Pushing open the thick door, the first thing I saw was a patio, and there was a stage on the upper steps of the patio. Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, no matter how he looked at it, he always felt that this team was very weird, and he felt that he had entered the palace.
"Huh! Team Leader Ye, do you think this village committee is a bit like a temple or a palace? ”
Li Jingdong smiled, "That's right! This was originally the old palace of Tianshui Bazi Village, and later the villagers raised money and built a new palace, so this old palace was used as a village committee. Those bodhisattvas just moved out in January this year! The God of Wealth, who had one of the heaviest stone carvings, couldn't move it away, so he covered it with a cloth. In the past, when the town cadres came down, they always liked to light a few pillars of incense in front of the Bodhisattva, draw a few lots, hehe......"
Li Jingdong explained.
"Oh! What are you covering? Wouldn't it be better to show it for everyone to see. Liu Chi joked.
"Hmmm! Let's see. Ye Fan also felt that it was quite novel, if he worked in this hall in the future, there would be a God of Wealth standing behind him to support him.
So the three of them worked together to lift the rough green cloth, and a stone sculpture of the God of Wealth with a height of nearly three meters, wearing an official hat on his head, holding a golden abacus in his left hand, and a basketball ingots in his right hand was revealed.
"Team Leader Ye, with the support of the God of Wealth, maybe we will hit the big luck." Liu Chi teased.
"Haha......" amused everyone.
There are quite a lot of rooms on the second floor, and they are all wooden structures, and even the windows are made of wooden boards, which makes Ye Fan feel like he has entered ancient times. The three of them chose the room, and soon a simple woman came in to help them clean up the room, Ye Fan hurriedly excused himself and said that he did it himself.
"Team Leader Ye, don't see outside. She is Ye Jinlian, the cashier of the village committee, and has the same surname as you. Usually the village committee is taken care of by her, and she also lives here. You can come to her for anything in the future. I think that in the future, she will take care of the food of the three cadres. ”
Li Jingdong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Jin Lian." Ye Fan hurriedly thanked, turned his head to Li Jingdong and said, "Secretary Li, you see that I didn't understand anything when I first came, and I will need more support from you in the future." I would like to have a meeting tonight, can you inform me on my behalf and ask the members of the village committee and the team leaders to come and sit together. ”
"Okay! You eat first, and then take a rest, and you are tired from sitting in the car for so long, so you will have a meeting here at 7 o'clock in the evening. Li Jingdong is very cooperative.
After eating, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest, and at around three o'clock, Ye Fan was thinking about how to carry out his work. But he heard a gentle knock on the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Liu Chi sneaking in reverently.
"Brother, hehe......" Liu Chi looked weird.
"What's the matter, with a dry smile on your face, did you run into your Xiaofang?" Ye Fan immediately thought of that aspect. Because this kind of expression is what a man would think of.
"Hey...... Yes, man, I wonder if you're a worm in my stomach. Liu Chi laughed dryly, "Ye Jinlian, the cashier in the village, has a daughter, I heard that her name is Ye Ruomeng. Absolutely superb, don't believe you go out and have a look. Both mother and daughter are superb, each with its own merits. I heard that Ye Ruomeng taught at Tianshui Dam Ziwan Primary School and slept with you, but I heard that he graduated from high school, not official, and should belong to the likes of private teachers. Alas! It's a pity. ”
Liu Chi showed a look of regret
"You kid, what do you mean by sleeping with me?" Ye Fan snorted lightly.
"Now let's get down to business, the headmaster has something to do with you, and he's waiting for you outside." Liu Chi said.
"Check it out."
Ye Fan said and went downstairs, and there were two people sitting in the hall. A thin middle-aged man, the other is estimated to be Ye Ruomeng, the daughter of the cashier Ye Jinlian. It is indeed dusty, with a round nose and curved willow eyebrows. The stiff twin peaks on the chest are not small, but the waist is thin. A water-green shirt shows her from the world without being stained, which really responds to the sentence 'the place that should be big and the place that should be small is small'.
"I can't imagine that such a character can be cultivated in this place, it is really a beautiful woman with beautiful mountains and clear waters!" Ye Fan was a little moved in his heart.
"You...... You are Team Leader Ye. The middle-aged man stood up, bowed slightly, and quickly took out a pack of 10 yuan cloud cigarettes from his pocket, peeled it out, took out one, and handed it over, but his expression was a little hesitant, probably because he felt that Ye Fan was too young and the milk smell had not dried.
"Hmmm! Are you ......" Ye Fan asked with a cigarette.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm Zhang Jialin, the principal of Wan Primary School in Shuibazi Village. Team Leader Ye, alas! ”
Zhang Jialin looked embarrassed.
"Please tell Principal Zhang about something." Ye Fan said.
