In two days, the last year of the dragon of the twentieth century will begin. Because most of the families in Yangjiawan have killed New Year's pigs this year and have surplus grain in their warehouses, "Wang Xiaoer" can finally celebrate a Spring Festival with their eyebrows raised.

For the story of "Wang Xiaoer", we may only know one and not the other.

Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty toured Hangzhou, he paid a private visit to Wushan one day. Although Wang Xiaoer's family was poor, he still generously used the only tofu, fish head and spinach in the family to make spinach tofu and fish head tofu to entertain uninvited guests. After eating, Qianlong felt that it was delicious and abnormal, and when he returned to the capital, he asked the imperial dining room to do it, but he didn't feel that it was the same taste. When Qianlong visited Hangzhou again, he sent someone to find Wang Xiaoer, and the impoverished Wang Xiaoer truthfully said that his predicament was "not as good as a year". In order to repay Wang Xiaoer's gift of a meal, Qianlong rewarded him with gold and silver for Wang Xiaoer to open a shop, and inscribed "Huang Fan'er" for the store with a royal pen.

With Emperor Qianlong's beloved "fish head tofu", the business of the small shop is prosperous, and the dilemma of "Wang Xiaoer's New Year - a year is not as good as a year" has also become history.

The common people feel that Yan Hengzhi is like the "Qianlong Lord" who came to Shiqiao, and the news he brought is much more useful than the newspaper reports. The farmers are looking forward to a complete turnaround.

The condolences brought by Secretary Yan have all been implemented in the hands of real needy households. Luo Xianwen also "chose his own actions", and used the funds of the township finance to buy a few big fat pigs, smoked bacon and prepared to send them to the home of the condolence recipient.

There are still a few people who have been "determined" in Shiqiao Township, and there are two of them in the five groups of Yangjiawan, who happen to be the brothers of Yang Zehua, the village party secretary, and Yang Zejin, the county leader, Yang Zefu and Yang Zegui. It was these two objects that made the branch secretary Yang Zehua anxious.

One is a lazy laipi, and the other is a "top household" who runs a processing room, and is listed as the object of condolences, which is really unreasonable. But Secretary Luo said. Five-guarantee households must be listed as the object of condolences; As for Yang Zegui, he is disabled! A hundred yuan, is twelve catties of bacon too much for his family? Not much!

Yang Zehua felt more and more that the work in the village was not easy to carry out. Now villagers, it doesn't matter what rights you have. They want their rights. What is the village party secretary? You care about the party members! I'm not a party member, you don't care!

Many villagers said in private that the current Yangjiawan has really become "Yang" Jiawan, and it is all the five groups of "Yang" who have the final say! There was a "leading Yang" in the flock. occupy the high ground of the county government; There is a "ground Yang" in the village, doesn't it also occupy the feng shui treasure of the Jade Emperor Temple on Mao'er Mountain?

Yang Zehua, who was busy working on the "Fork Stone Highway", didn't hear much of these words. The place where these voices came out the most was in Yang Zegui's house, the processing room in the courtyard, but it was the gathering place of various groups of villagers!

The day before the Spring Festival, Yang Zehua took the leaders of each village to pick up the bacon at the township government and took away the condolence money. In accordance with the government's requirements, village cadres should go door-to-door to express their condolences to needy households.

When he arrived at the Jade Emperor Temple, where the village committee is located, Yang Zehua organized a temporary meeting with the village chief, accountant, women's director, and group leaders.

The conference room next to the temple was opened, and the table was covered with a thick layer of ash. This is probably the first village cadre meeting in Yangjiawan Village in several years. In the past, big and small things. Isn't it all his Yang branch secretary who notified him on the radio and it was over?

Yang Zehua looked at his "four major teams" and couldn't help laughing. Isn't this what the villagers call the five groups of "those poplars"? Yang Zebao, the head of the village, is his cousin; Accountant ****, is his distant nephew; Women's director Yang Shufen is her own niece and nephew!

"The day after tomorrow is the New Year! This year, the government's condolences have been increased, not only has the condolence money doubled, but also so much bacon has been specially made. The quota given to us by the township government is 15 people, let's discuss, how to decide these 20 people? After Yang Zehua finished speaking, he took out a pack of paper cigarettes from the pocket of his tunic jacket. Scatter to the big guys.

"Didn't we set up ten people to report to the township government before? Ten more will be awarded! "It was the leader of the second group who spoke.

"The township government asks for a new set! We reported the ten people, and there were eight of them, and I won't say much else, Secretary Yan just left. Everyone also knows the attitude of the township, and now it is required to 'be implemented', and the members of the society (the traditional name for 'villagers') are encouraged by the county leaders on the street, you dare to pick the bacon home today, you will not be able to live a clean year! After speaking, the village chief lit a cigarette and looked at the branch book holding a cigarette roll and sniffing it on his nose.

"Then you can't live a clean year in anyone's house!" A word from Yang Decai, the leader of the fifth group. It resonated with everyone - this meeting, for them, means that the "year-end bonus" has been canceled!

"Not necessarily," it was Shufen who spoke, "as long as it is in the hands of those who really need it, everyone will definitely not have such a big opinion-this is also the idea of the township government!" ”

"That's right! Everyone is also very busy, and we have to go back to kill chickens and buy fish, so we immediately studied and implemented the list! In this way, one group after another, there must be five 'five guarantees'. In addition, each group mentions two, and everyone has a mountain, which one can't recognize it? If others don't have an opinion, **** you can record it and go to condolence! The premise is that a few of you are not allowed to mention yì yourself, you don't know, yesterday there was a meeting in the township, Secretary Luo took the list of several brigades (actually 'village') and tore it up, everyone is also difficult, I know, but we are cadres, overcome it! ”

After Yang Zehua finished speaking, he took out the lighter and lit a cigarette for the group leader. As for whether Secretary Luo tore up the list or not, only he knows.

Since the branch secretary talked about this, the team leaders had to think in their hearts that they couldn't get this benefit, so they would give it to relatives and neighbors, and it couldn't fall into the hands of outsiders anyway.

With the exception of the five groups, the other six groups mostly "obey the majority" and pass guò. Yang Decai, the leader of the fifth group, was in trouble, and he didn't know who to mention after thinking about it. If he takes care of his own people, then a branch secretary and a village chief sitting above him are all members of the five groups! They must have a small calculation in their hearts.

"Uncle Decai, you don't have to take care of the two of us, let's take care of which family is difficult to take care of according to the actual situation, you just have to mention yì and bring it up for discussion!" Village Chief Yang Zebao reminded him.

"I ...... I mention Yang Zegui, and ...... Well...... Yang Delu! After some careful consideration, Yang Decai's opinion was also "approved" by the majority. Who doesn't know that the two people he mentioned, one is the brother of the branch secretary, and the other is the uncle of the village chief. Hey, it's hard to be the leader of the fifth group!

"I disagree!" Yang Shufen objected for the second time, just the first time when she was the leader of the third group, and she proposed to include Yang Zeming as the object of condolences - Yang Zeming is the father of her brother Zhao, who risked his life to rescue from the fire.

Everyone once again focused on Shufen, not knowing if she disagreed with her own family or the village chief's uncle's family.

Shufen stood up and said, "Elders, Uncle Cai, thank you for your kindness, and I will also convey your meaning to my father." It is really inappropriate for our family to be listed as a condolence household, and there are several households in the five groups that are worse off than mine......"

"Shufen, what you mentioned is right, your father is disabled, and he has made contributions to our Yangjiawan, which is also the meaning of the township government......" Yang Zehua pinched a handful of sweat in his hand just threw it out, and then there was another cloud of water. Because Secretary Luo said that condolences to Yang Zegui are "political tasks"!

"I know, thank you to the village and the township government. Everyone saw that on the street that day, I set up a dragon gate formation with Secretary Yan and my seventh uncle, and Secretary Yan also shook hands with me, which is the government's care. I don't have an opinion on Yang Delu's father-in-law, my father will be replaced by Nie Jikai! A few patients in their family dragged up ......"

"It's okay, Uncle Cai, just according to what Shufen said, give it to the old Nie family! We just had two in a group, that's fourteen, plus five 'five guarantee households', nineteen! There is one copy left, you see...... "Yang Zehua, who doesn't smoke, scattered his cigarettes again.

"Oh, Secretary Yang, you have been busy for the village, and you have been busy all year round, and that share is left for you to ......" The village chief took the cigarette and issued a mention. Others nodded willingly or reluctantly.

"Or! Or! Didn't the uncle just say Yang Zegui, he is my third brother, but it is true that there are merits and hard work, so I will 'raise the virtuous and not avoid relatives', this one, condolences to Yang Zegui, do you have any opinions? ”

"No opinion!" Everybody, you look at me, I'll look at you, and then nodded.

Shufen, a "very few", was ignored again, and she was so anxious that she cried out on the side...... (To be continued.) )xh:.74.240.212
