The place where I live is called Shiting Village, but nowadays people are used to talking about Shiting production team.

Shiting Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with green trees, fertile land, and industrious people. The whole village of 100 families built houses facing the sun under a majestic mountain and lived in harmony. It is true that there are many flowery adjectives that can be used in the description of Shiting Village, if not stingy, because it is a place that makes a deep impression at a glance. If this is done, the reader will probably accuse people of living in one place for a long time, and they will feel that the scenery in the world is unique.

After my two playmates and I left the barnyard, we walked through a yellow dirt road sandwiched between water and bamboo, and they were going to the field to catch grasshoppers and roast food, so I went home alone with a spinning top and a kite. When he was about to walk to the stone arch at the entrance of the village, he saw from afar that the new president of Qingshuihe Commune, Mr. Jia, was pushing a new "permanent" brand bicycle, standing there watching the rice that was growing well, his lips were almost cracked with a smile, and he congratulated Wu Youtian, the captain of the Shiting production team who came to greet him: "What a good village with Datian Dam, what young girl from the village doesn't want to marry here to be a bride?" ”

Wu Youtian replied with a smile on his face, "It's been awarded, it's been awarded, the president has won the award!" "It's like a flattery again, the president doesn't rest for such a big leader as the '5?1' festival, and he personally leaves the team, it's too hard. President Jia showed a look of hesitation, but said in an official tone: "The team is also to serve the people, what kind of hard work are you talking about?" Wu Youtian immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, the president is too humble!" You see the good side of the crops, let's go to the village and take a look. ”

"The advanced village is naturally something to see," President Jia leaned on his bicycle and prepared to order cigarettes, Wu Youtian hurriedly leeward for him, after igniting, President Jia took a deep breath, let the smoke erupt from the two nasal holes like a green dragon, and then continued: "Now, just looking at the good side of rice growth, Lao Wu, you, the captain, have made the first contribution, and there should be no difficulty in completing the task of public grain surplus this year, right?" Wu Youtian was praised, immediately overjoyed, and responded with a smile: "President, our team has exceeded the task every year, first the country and then the collective and then the individual, which is not sloppy." ”

"Well said, Lao Wu, we need a good cadre like you who is conscious." President Jia praised it again, and said emotionally in an official tone: "How can there be a small family without a country? How can there be a good life without the policies of a good party? Therefore, we can't forget the well diggers! Wu Youtian said first, "What the president said is very correct. Then he rubbed his palms and added, "But the surplus food handed over by our team is indeed too heavy." ”

"How is this possible?" President Jia glanced at Wu Youtian and pointed out solemnly: "You are a cadre, oh, the grain standard is assessed according to the actual area of the field and the growth of crops, where is this not the case?" ”

"President, what you said is right, but it is also a fact that our team is too heavy on food, and I, Wu Youtian, never dare to talk nonsense."

"If what you said is true, why didn't you reflect it before?" President Jia looked extremely concerned.

"We have been reflecting it every year, and what has been reflected in the commune and the district is still not changing every year." Wu Youtian showed a helpless face.

"Then this is a problem left over from history, and it cannot be solved in a moment. In this way, I'll go into the village to see the better side of your team, and you can tell me more about it by the way. President Jia pushed his bicycle to the village, and Wu Youtian followed respectfully.

"Lao Wu," President Jia boasted as he walked, "Your village is very big, and there are some ancient buildings, which is good." ”

"President, you're very far-reaching!" After Wu Youtian flattered, he continued: "There are a total of one hundred and nine households in our village, and there are two or three old houses with all-wooden structures, which are more than 100 years old, but they are all decayed and can barely live in them. ”

"Old Wu," President Jia stopped, straightened his still growing belly, and criticized harshly: "How can the old houses of poor middle peasants be said to be rotten? Can a decayed house still be inhabited and lived in? It is important to remember that rotten things exist only in capitalist society. Wu Youtian and the others didn't wait for the president to finish speaking, so they immediately replied: "That's right, that's right, president, I must keep your teachings in mind!" ”

President Jia walked forward a little further, pointed to a brick and wood house, and said, "Old Wu, you see that big tiled house is very good." ”

"Oh, President, that's good." Wu Youtian probably didn't get hurt by the blow on the head, and he didn't know how to evade it: "There are three or four of these new-style large tiled houses in our village, and it costs 400 yuan to build one one, but the others are all thatched houses with earthen walls." ”

"Old Wu," President Jia raised his tone and reprimanded with hatred: "What's wrong with an earthen thatched house?" The thatched house with the earthen wall is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the thatched house with the earthen wall makes people feel comfortable! No matter how old Wu Youtian is, he can also hear the meaning of these words, so he immediately replied humbly: "Yes, yes, what the president said is very reasonable, as long as we farmers have a nest, we will be at ease." ”

"That's right, Lao Wu, this is like what a cadre said." President Jia first appeased, and then enlightened in a strong official tone: "We must learn to look backwards and do work forward." Looking back, many people in our village, including Lao Wu, may not even have a thatched nest in the old society. Wu Youtian suddenly became enlightened, and replied happily and eagerly: "The president is worthy of being a big official, and what he says is the truth." My Wu Youtian family worked as long-term workers in the old society, how can there be any thatched houses, if you want convenience, you have to go to the mountains to pull wild. ”

President Jia glanced at Wu Youtian with contempt, and asked curiously: "Old Wu, I heard that there is a very old stone pavilion in your village, and we have seen it after walking for a long time, where is it?" Wu Youtian pointed to the top of a hill in the southwest of the village, and replied very flatteringly: "The leader is different, the president has just come to office, and even a stone pavilion in our village has mastered it, which is really admirable!" ”

"It's there, it's pretty pretty. I'm going to go around the other villages today, and I'll climb closer another day. After President Jia finished speaking, he pushed his car and was about to leave.

"President, you haven't heard me say that our village is overfed, and it's almost dinner, you come all the way to leave without a meal, how can we behave!" Wu Youtian hurriedly grabbed President Jia's bicycle faucet and kept it very enthusiastically.

People who insist on leaving, they can't keep if they want to, but President Jia is an official after all, even if he has no intention of staying, he must make people feel that there are feelings at all. "Lao Wu, we are not allowed to eat at the players' homes when we leave the team, you know this rule. The matter of providing grain in your village cannot be explained clearly in three or two sentences, so you can come to the commune another day and tell me slowly. Don't stop, I understand your enthusiasm. Good bye! ”

Wu Youtian looked at the back of President Jia leaving, and read softly to himself: I haven't heard a word in the situation report, why is it running faster than a rabbit? The rice has not yet bloomed to see the growth, which is called doing work forward? Alas, it's okay to leave, and it's too disrespectful to entertain such a big official as the president with sauerkraut soup and corn rice.

"Old Uncle Wu," I reminded Wu Youtian who was standing in a daze, "What are you still looking at, everyone is gone." ”

"Oh, oh, it's the current, your kite is so beautiful, lend me one another day." Wu Youtian came back to his senses, smiled wryly and said a perfunctory word, turned around and went home.

I continued to walk home with a spinning top and a kite, but I couldn't understand in my heart that Wu Youtian, the captain of the village, had walked so long with the new president that he didn't find a chance to talk about the heavy food in the village. In fact, as long as you say truthfully (it is best to write a written material): "At the beginning, the survey of the field area of Shiting Village was 1,500 liters (500 acres) of land and 600 liters (200 acres) of land.

Perhaps, Wu Youtian is worried that he can't be the captain; Perhaps, Wu Youtian would have selfishly thought that if the commune had reduced the extra food tasks on the team, his family would not have much food.
