We got dressed and arrived at the restaurant, and we heard Uncle Tang Long's voice outside the hall, and in just a little time, they drank a lot of wine: "Brother Yin, I remember back then, it was you who stabbed this thing upwards. Only then did the county leaders of those counties be dealt with in accordance with the law. ”

The father muttered, "I wrote the report and sent it to the city." After studying, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee circulated a notice of criticism on the problem of unattended reservoirs in some parts of the city, and made a decision on dealing with the relevant responsible persons. ”

Uncle Tang Long said loudly: "I have always kept it in my heart. Handling decision: Long X, secretary of the county party committee of XX County, and Dong XX, the county magistrate, who have important leadership responsibilities, will be criticized in the whole city, and the county magistrate will be admonished and talked, and the deputy county magistrate of South X County will be given an administrative demerit sanction. The municipal party committee instructed the xx county party committee to hold the relevant responsible persons accountable in accordance with the cadre management authority. Different decisions were made on the 13 relevant responsible persons, such as administrative demerits, major administrative demerits, administrative dismissal, and dismissal. These thirteen people have leaders such as the county magistrate, the deputy county magistrate, and the secretary of the county party committee. I said at that time, you are the director of the water conservancy bureau, why are you so bold? not only pointed at the face of the county magistrate, but scolded in front of everyone. It's going to make them restless! ”

The father said, "I'm not used to seeing this person, I'm going to say it!" During the flood season, the reservoir was unattended, dozens of people died, and they had to be deceived and bullied. This demerit punishment is too light, I thought it would make them all lose their black yarn hats. That kind of person is not worthy of being an official. However, once you see through it, it will be clear. Hehehehehe. ”

Uncle Tang Long raised his glass: "A good leader, in exchange for peace." Come, good leader, I toast you. ”

"That day, I scolded a few of them during the meeting, and they didn't reflect on it, so something bigger happened later. The Standing Committee of the Party Committee immediately convened a meeting to listen to the report on the handling of the relevant responsible persons of the unattended sick and dangerous reservoir and the report on the next step of the reservoir safety flood work, and to re-study and re-deploy the current flood fighting and rescue and disaster relief work in the city. Yang XX, secretary of the municipal party committee, personally presided over the meeting and particularly emphasized that the relevant responsible persons for dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty, and even fraud, and the relevant responsible persons for the deterioration of the situation and the loss of people's lives and property due to the lack of leadership responsibility and ineffective work handling, and even the consequences of stricter zhòng, must be strictly held accountable, never tolerate, and dare to hold the leading cadres at a higher level accountable, and the relevant responsible persons who cause particularly serious accidents and incidents must also be dealt with in accordance with the law. I was really excited at the time, and I thought that these people were going to step down...... But who knows, it's just the dismissal of a few small shrimp and crabs. Those big heads are symbolically criticized! What a blind dog! The father said angrily.

"This is one of the reasons why you have offended a lot of people...... Uncle Tang Long sighed.

The witch and I walked in hand in hand, and my mother stood up and said, "Come over and eat, look at you, aren't you hungry, isn't your daughter-in-law hungry?" Come, Lin Xi, come over here. ”

The witch walked over with a smile, looking at the table and she was suddenly stunned.

I walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The witch bowed deeply to my mother.

I looked at the table, so touched?

The mother felt sorry for her, but the child was gone. stewed a black chicken, put a small plate in front of the witch's position, and a cough curtive tangerine peel delicacies, and helped her cook......

The mother was shocked, hurriedly stood up and said, "This is ...... What is this for? Child, I can't help it. ”

Uncle Tang Long laughed: "Xi'er, well done. ”

Meng He broke in: "Uncle Yin, here again and again!" ”

My father's face turned blue all of a sudden.

The witch said to her uncle, "Hey, official, are you at this level?" There are more people and horses, and more than a dozen cars of people came at once, you are finished, we are all finished. If you can swim, go get a lifebuoy and swim out......"

The uncle wondered: "They still dare to come?" That's impossible. ”

The witch teased him: "Really, more than a dozen cart people, saying that they were going to behead that old guy with a high collar." ”

Uncle Tang Long is the high vertical collar.

The witch smiled again and said, "Hurry up, pull more than a dozen of your troops over, otherwise we will be in trouble tonight, and we won't be able to eat well." ”

Uncle Tang Long stood up and said, "I really don't believe it, a small county, doesn't buy the above account? Let's go, go out and have a look. ”

The witch teased him again: "I won't go, I'm afraid of death." ”

I pinched the witch's thigh and said, "Stop playing!" Let's go out and have a look. ”

Uncle Tang Long went out with his father and others, and the witch and I followed, and the witch smiled at me: "Don't worry, my uncle is here, it's okay." ”

"What if people don't know him?"

The witch said, "That's the best, it's better to provoke my uncle, and then my uncle dismissed all these dog officials, and then checked them, and finally either locked them up or went home to farm." ”

I said, "It's not as easy as it can be. ”

"If he wants to do it, it's that easy."

Seeing my mother trotting home, the witch said strangely, "Mom is so nervous. ”

I said, "Burn incense...... Talking about the blessing of the ancestors. ”

"Then I'll go too." The witch said.

I glared at her and said, "What are you going to do?" Are you going to make trouble? ”

"I'm going to thank your ancestors for giving me such a good husband, okay!"

I didn't want to go: "Go yourself, I'm going out to see." ”

The witch pulled me and said, "I won't have much time to lose!" Hurry up, go and worship first. ”

"Returnees who dress so fashionably and speak English will believe this?" I laughed.

She dragged me back to the house, and when my mother saw me coming in, she hurriedly said, "Lin Xi, you come over and help me light a few incense sticks, and I'll go get the sacrifice." Child! Set the bowl for the ancestors. ”

"Oh."

I stepped forward and placed three small wine glasses, and then placed three pairs of chopsticks next to the wine glasses.

My mother took a roast chicken and put it in front of the wine glass, and when she saw my chopsticks, she said angrily, "How did you put it?" Messy? ”

I said, "Where's the mess? Isn't that good? ”

"On the right side of the glass! Look at you, some of the chopsticks are placed on the right, and some are placed on the left! ”

I reasoned with my words: "Is it good for some ancestors to use their left hand." ”

The mother was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, your grandfather just uses his left hand......"

The witch snorted and couldn't help laughing anymore......

"Lin Xi, don't worry about that madman...... Hurry up and get incense. ”

"Yes, Mom." The witch smiled and grimaced at me.

After she finished worshipping, she immediately pulled me out of the door: "Hurry up, go to the door and have a look." ”

I said, "I don't know why you believe this?" ”

The witch said, "I didn't believe it, but that time. It was windy and rainy that day, and you were fishing in the water that night, no matter what I thought in my heart, you didn't come back. Later, your mother said that every time she let your ancestors bless you, you can easily overcome any difficulties. I just thought in my heart, Yin Ran's ancestor, let Yin Ran and his father come back safe and sound. Then, you actually landed in the air right then and appeared behind me. ”

"Wha......" I laughed.

The witch pinched my inner thighs: "I don't want you to laugh!" Don't laugh! Don't laugh!! ”

"Ahh It hurts...... Okay, don't laugh anymore! I hurriedly stopped laughing.

When I arrived at the door, I saw more than a dozen cars, and there were Land Cruisers with military license plates......

I said, "Whatever you do, you won't let people eat properly......"

Many people in the car got down, and I saw a few guys who looked like dogs rushing forward and greeted Uncle Tang loudly: "We don't know that the chief is coming, and the sin is ......."

My uncle asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Chief, hello, I am the secretary of the county party committee of XX county, and the little sesame official of this county. This is ......"

He introduced dozens of people in ten minutes. What county magistrate, what town mayor, what department head...... It's rare to see it, and today you came to our house to cook a pot.

They greeted people with smiling faces, but the uncle didn't buy their accounts: "Excuse me, do you want to come to the demolition in person?" ”

"Yo yo yo...... No, it's not hahaha, it's all a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding......"

The people behind immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes...... Misunderstanding. It's all the problems with the above plan, and if we knew this, we reported to the above and changed the plan. ”

Uncle Tang didn't smile: "It's quite good at shirking responsibility, the good ones don't learn, and the cunning ones have learned." ”

The man looked embarrassed......

The witch said to me, "Uncle's words, can make these biggest old men in this place put black gauze hats." ”

"Are they here to apologize? To curry favor? Or pretending to be ......"

"I'm afraid that my uncle will pursue it, so I'm here to apologize."

"Ouch, old county magistrate! I haven't seen you for many years, but it's still tough, hahaha...... It's all because I'm usually busy with business, so busy, I can't find time to come and see you. "Someone stepped forward and looked flattering.

His father smiled at him, "I wonder why you came here today?" ”

"Bring things up!" The man waved his hand behind him.

Wine, food, gifts, and other things were brought up, and the man said to Uncle Tang: "The chief is from afar, we can't come out to greet us from afar, and we hope that the chief will not blame." A little misunderstanding with the old county magistrate, how about we, drink a little wine and talk slowly? ”

The witch said to me, "I'm going to talk to my uncle." ”

I hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Let them entertain those doglegs, half threaten and half scare them, and make them promise to ...... in the future Put all the wine here. ”

"Is it possible? All of them? ”

The witch said, "Don't worry, I'll tell my uncle, it's just that there are not a few tables every day, and one table every day brings a lot of benefits!" ”

She went over there and whispered a few words to Uncle Tang, who smiled and said to the doglegs, "Everyone, please come in." ”

The doglegs came in with cigarettes, wine, and food with a smile......

The witch came again and said to me, "With my uncle covering, these people will not dare to touch us in the future." ”

I said, "That's the best...... By the way, my mother made a special dish for you, and you haven't eaten it yet, so go quickly. ”

The witch snorted and said, "Okay...... I went and asked my mom to come over and eat. ”

After dinner, we were on the second floor, and the restaurant burst into laughter.

The witch said to me, "It seems that they are having a good time." ”

She carried a stool and sat with me outside the hallway, looking up at the bright moon.

After a while, she put her hand around my shoulder and said thoughtfully, "Look...... What a beautiful moon. In fact, the moon is not lonely, when we look closely, we will find that there are so many stars around the moon that we can't count them. ”

"If there is no struggle, the two of us run a little business here every day, go fishing and swim in the evening, see the stars and the moon at night, and when it rains, we will hide under the covers and listen to the rain and the wind, and then do that, and sleep until noon the next day, and get up to work...... How beautiful. ”

The witch pinched my thigh again: "Why are you?" I can't get rid of those things all day long! ”

I shouted, "It really hurts!" Don't pinch here, you hit the same place every time! It hurts! ”

The witch sighed, "What if...... I will be very happy to be able to bring my mother here, we will be reunited as a family, your mother is so good. Is that right? ”

I came up with an idea, "Why don't we pick her up?" ”

The witch shook her head: "My mother said that if she can't wait for my father to come, even if she dies, she won't leave that city." ”

When she talked about her father, she began to get sad......

I put my arm around the witch's shoulders and pointed to the moon and said, "When we were children, the old man told us that we couldn't point to the moon with our fingers. ”

"Why?" The witch wondered.

"Because the moon brings us light when we are in darkness, we cannot be disrespectful to her. If you point your finger at the moon, you won't get light or happiness......" I said.

The witch slapped my hand away: "Damn! Then you still mean! ”

I was dumbfounded: "You'll also say: Damn, ......"

"Why can't I say that?" The witch asked me rhetorically, with a look of course.

I asked, "Then why don't you say...... Or ......"

"I'll pinch your thigh!" The witch is about to reach down again.

I hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't! It really hurts! That's right...... You also believe that pointing to the moon will make you ......"

She interrupted me and said, "Nonsense! Why don't you believe it? Have you seen me point to the moon? I didn't even point to the stars. My mother also taught me not to point fingers, they are all gods, and our happiness is given by them. In the city, only the moon can be seen...... Here, wow, you can see the Milky Way. ”

I laughed and said, "It's all a fuss when I see the Milky Way." ”

"Of course it's all the fuss! I've rarely seen it...... You see, wow, it's spectacular, from one end to the other, it's all stars! Milky Way. Let's look for constellations......"

Seeing me smiling, the witch said tenderly: "If, as you said, we can fish, swim and swim every day, and see the stars and moon when there is a moon at night, and when it rains, we will hide under the covers and listen to the rain and the wind, and then do that...... It's a really good life. ”

After getting up and washing, my mother was already setting up the meal in the living room. Sure enough, when he saw the witch, he asked, "After eating those, is it much better?" ”

I whispered in the witch's ear and said, "Remember, you made a bet with me. ”

……

……

The witch stepped forward and bowed to my mother: "Thank you, mother......"

Mother hurriedly supported her: "Look at your child, you are all my children, why do you want to thank me!" You don't want to do that......"

She cried......

"Silly boy, what are you crying about? Why do you cry when you talk about it? "My mother was at a loss for a moment, holding a plate of vegetables in her hand, and motioned for me to coax the witch.

When my mother entered the kitchen, I gently hugged the witch and asked, "What are you doing?" Have you been feeling a lot of sentiment lately? ”

The witch replied, "This is the first time in many years that I feel at home......

"From now on, if we are here, you will cry like that every day?" I asked with a smile.

"I wish I could cry like this every day...... the witch said to me.

I stroked her long hair on the back and said, "Don't be stupid, let's eat." ”

The witch sandwiched the dishes for me and my mother, and I laughed and teased her: "Do you feel like a little daughter-in-law in the old society?" ”

Mother said to the witch, "Leave him alone, he has been crazy since he was a child." If it weren't for his father's career change, the family would have become poor all of a sudden, and he would have become more sensible. Otherwise, there will be chaos every day. ”

The witch opened her eyes wide and asked, "Really?" So what bad things did he do? ”

My mother began to count the bad things that happened to me as a child: "I used to steal the shotgun at home and climb the mountains to hunt!" Once, when he had nothing to do, he killed a dozen ducks in the family and asked his father to tie them to a stool and beat them......"

The witch smiled and asked me, "Isn't it fun?" ”

I buried my head in my head and said, "I hit a pheasant that day and injured it, but it can still fly, so I chased it from one hill to another, and then chased it back, and the pheasant flew over again." The distance between the two peaks was only a hundred meters in a straight line, but we had to walk down the mountain and climb up for almost half an hour...... Then there was a guy down the hill who laughed at us and said a few fools. Later, I couldn't catch the pheasant, so I was annoyed and angry...... He killed a dozen ducks in his house, and took one of the fat ducks to a friend's house to stew. In fact, since I was a child, I have eaten duck meat so many times, and that time I ate the best......"

Mom asked with a straight face, "Oh, is that so?" If you're greedy, you can do anything? Once, I went to steal ammonium nitrate that was drying in the sun, and then stole the detonators and fire wires at home and made explosives to blow up fish. His father was beaten all over his body, and he didn't repent at all. ”

I grinned and said, "It's fun, who wasn't greedy when they were young." ”

Mom said, "I don't think there's a single kid in the whole county who is as fun as you." At a young age, he still fought with that Li Jing with a sickle...... Your two sisters haven't let ** hearts, huh? You weren't born to me. ”

I almost didn't spray my meal: "Well, I was born." ”

"Let your dad hear and not beat you to death!"

The witch winked at me, "Have you done a lot of bad things?" ”

"I can't count, if I had a heart attack, I would have been scared to death by him! When I was 10 years old, there was a thunderstorm one day, and he went with a group of children to fly kites, and I was so scared that I went with his father to tie him up......"

The witch looked at me, "Franklin? “

I smiled and said, "At that time, I read the middle school texts, and I wanted to try to see if there was really electricity coming down, and those children said that the electricity would kill people, so I said why didn't Franklin die?" So he took the kite and flew it. My dad freaked out, slapped me, and tied me back with a rattan. Later, I felt that I still didn't give up, and I once mo'd the bare wire of the main switch at home, and then I was afraid of electricity. ”

"You're really not afraid of death, aren't you?" The witch said.

I asked my mother, "Hey, where is Dad?" ”

"With the uncle surnamed Tang, and Menghe, I went fishing."

"Fishing doesn't call me either...... It's so stingy. I muttered.

Mom said, "Uncle Tang said, you usually work very hard, and yesterday you drove for another day, and you are tired, so let you sleep a little longer." Stingy? ”

"Not stingy. Witch, let's go fishing too...... What do you think? I asked, looking at the witch.

The witch nodded and said, "Okay." ”

But my mother poured cold water on me: "There is only one speedboat here, your father took it, you want to row it?" ”

"Forget it...... "Rowing to fishing, bitter......

"Let's go rowing......" the witch looked at me.

Her mother said to her, "It's not a boat, it's not a bamboo raft." You're going to be scared. ”

"Bamboo rafts? I've heard of a raft, but I've never sat on a bamboo raft, so I'm going to try it. ”

"Let's go after changing our shoes and clothes." Mom said to her.
