Chapter 165: Beiyang Mandarins

readx; The location of the township government axe in Butou Township is also Butou Village, but the largest village in the entire Butou Township is Dashu Village, which is a few miles away from Butou Village. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As the largest village in the entire Butou Township, Dashu Village also has the largest population, compared with several other sparsely populated villages, the situation in Dashu Village is already good, but that's it, Dashu Village still has only one word to Zhou Fan's impression, that is, poverty.

In addition to the low old houses in the whole big tree village, the new houses in the village are not seen at all, you must know that the reform and opening up to the present, the people's living standards have also improved a lot, and in recent years, there has been a boom in building new houses in various places, even in the countryside, the changes in recent years are also very great, and new houses have been built in various places.

But Big Tree Village obviously can't see this, although Zhou Fan doesn't know that Big Tree Village was a situation before, but judging from the current situation, is there anything worse than this?

Under Ma Biao's arrangement, Zhou Fan met Guo Shouliang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dashu Village, an old man in his fifties, slightly bald, and a piece in the middle of his head was almost barren.

Guo Shouliang is very thin, and he looks a little sick, looking at the way he walks, Zhou Fan is a little worried about whether people will fall, how can such a person be able to do such a job as the village party secretary and take on such a heavy responsibility, thinking of this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but shake his head.

Seeing Zhou Fan shaking his head, Ma Biao obviously guessed Zhou Fan's thoughts, and carefully said a few words in Zhou Fan's ear, and Zhou Fan's original contemptuous heart gradually disappeared.

Guo Shouliang used to be a soldier, and he was promoted, but because of an accident, Guo Shouliang was seriously injured, although this life was picked up, but since then it has also fallen ill, after the liberation of the mainland, Guo Shouliang also retired to the local government, at that time the political axe also took care of Guo Shouliang, originally to arrange Guo Shouliang to serve as the chief prosecutor of the Beiyang County Procuratorate, but Guo Shouliang was highly conscious, and he asked to go to the enterprise and go to the grassroots level, and the political axe placed Guo Shouliang in the county cotton mill, originally wanted Guo Shouliang to be the factory director, It's just that Guo Shouliang felt that he was a big boss, so he resigned.

The county cotton mill has long been closed down, Guo Shouliang was also facing the situation of being laid off, after the political axe knew about this situation, he also made corresponding arrangements for the old man, but he was resigned by Guo Shouliang, the old man resolutely did not make trouble for the political axe, and asked to go back to the countryside to farm, this is not a person who is dozens of years old, but his body is also .......

Speaking of this, Zhou Fan was a little moved, in fact, when the mainland had just been liberated, there were still many of these high-consciousness old comrades, but the minds of the people in later generations were corroded, and they gradually became selfish.

Because of these things, coupled with Guo Shouliang's integrity, in the eyes of the villagers of Dashu Village, prestige is naturally not to be said, in the decades of career as the village party secretary, Guo Shouliang is even more deeply trusted by the villagers, thinking of this, Zhou Fan is faintly admiring Guo Shouliang.

Guo Shouliang's house is located at the end of the village on the edge of the old ashamed tree, it is two mud houses, it looks dilapidated, but the environment is a little ......, leading Zhou Fan into the door, there is no place to stay, plus the weather is humid, Guo Shouliang's house has not been poured cement floor, one by one wet, a foot on it is a mud mark, Zhou Fan is really a little uncomfortable.

Guo Shouliang's family obviously saw Ma Biao, the leader of Butou Township, and when they saw Ma Biao entering the house, they all greeted Ma Biao with a smile, but when they saw Zhou Fan, there were inevitably some doubts in their eyes, and naturally they didn't know what the young man in front of him was doing.

"The third son is also at home? Didn't go to school in the county? Looking at the meaning of Ma Biao's words, he is quite familiar with Guo Shouliang's family.

The young man known as the third son smiled and answered, "Uncle Ma, why are you here?" It didn't happen that I came back after two days off at school. ”

Ma Biao nodded slightly, but he gave Zhou Fan a brief introduction to these people of the Guo family.

Guo Shouliang's family had a total of four children, three sons, and a daughter, and the young man known as the third son is Guo Shouliang's third son, who is now in high school and is in Beiyang County No. 1 Middle School.

After all, Beiyang Middle School is one of the best high schools in the entire Beiyang County and even in the entire Wuning City, and the admission rate is naturally needless to say, in addition to the first high school in Wuning City, Beiyang Middle School is ranked second.

As an intellectual who went out in the ravine, he was naturally pinned on by his family, and it is no wonder that Ma Biao specially greeted others.

In addition to the third child who is still studying, the eldest has been married a long time ago, and now he has children, as for the second child, he was not admitted to high school a few years ago, and began to farm at home when he graduated from junior high school.

As the village party secretary, even if Dashu Village is backward, it is still necessary to play some tricks and get some benefits, but looking at Guo Shouliang's personality, he obviously knows that the other party will not do such a thing, and it is no wonder that the family is crammed into two mud houses, but this is a little shabby.

I don't know if more than ten years later, when Guo Shouliang's grandson grows up, will he complain about this grandfather with a strong principled surname, if Guo Shouliang can follow a little selfishness, maybe the younger generations will be better, after all, after more than ten years, people's thinking has changed too much, and at that time, most people only recognized money and did not recognize people.

Although the secretary of the county party committee came to the house, Guo Shouliang's family obviously has nothing to entertain, except for tea, there are only oranges grown by their own family, although this season has long passed the season when oranges are ripe, but oranges are preserved for a long time, if they are well preserved, they can be eaten at least until mid-June.

There is nothing else in the countryside, this home-grown fruit is not stingy, and the price of this orange is also cheap, according to the price at that time, a dime can buy several catties of oranges, plus the transportation of Butou Township is inconvenient, and it is not easy to transport it out to sell, generally except for their own family to eat, in the end it is all rotten there.

The Guo family was polite, and Zhou Fan took a bite, but he didn't expect that the taste of this orange was unusually sweet and delicious, and the taste of this orange was much better than the Beiyang mandarins that Zhou Fan bought in the supermarket in later generations.
