Chapter 17: Dullness

"Far away......" Lin Yuanli looked at Juanzi, then at Lin Yuanfang, gritted her teeth, and said: "Sister, please ask you something, can you go and tell the township about it, so that the township will not remove Zhang Luojian's position?" ”

"What?" Lin Yuanfang suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, "Eldest sister, what did you say?" Don't remove Zhang Luojian from his position? ”

"Hmmm! Hit or not? Lin Yuanli said. The little daughter-in-law, who had been keeping her head down, also raised her head and looked at Lin Yuanfang nervously.

"Why?" Lin Yuanfang said in surprise: "Didn't that Zhang Luojian bully his brother-in-law because of the homestead matter?" This time, he took in and retained and announced his personal vendetta, and he was a pig, and he was robbing rations? ”

"Hey, neighbors, where is there anyone who doesn't put aside their anger (炙南焄語, meaning quarrel and dispute)? Besides, on the wall of the homestead, Zhang Luojian had already promised to step back half a foot. Yesterday he also pulled a cart of bricks and went to his house to repair the broken pigsty. Lin Yuanli sighed and said: "The villagers, everyone has admitted their mistakes, we can't ruin the future of others because of this incident." In the distance, you will go to the township to talk and ask them not to remove Zhang Luojian from his post. ”

Lin Yuanfang took a breath, this Zhang Luojian was really big enough. Don't underestimate this move to repair a pigsty, in the rural area of the south of the country, it means bowing your head and being soft. According to the customs of the rural areas of the south of the country, ordinary people would rather pay several times the salary to hire someone to do it, rather than go to the door to do it themselves, because as soon as they come to the door, their waist will be soft, and they don't want to raise their heads in front of others in the future. Not to mention that Zhang Luo Jianken let the homestead back half of the wall, the concept of land in the countryside is very serious, that is the foundation left by the ancestors, and the emphasis is on fighting for every inch of land, because it is not uncommon for a brick and a half of a homestead to kill people in the south of the country. If Zhang Luojian made this move before Lin Yuanfang looked for Township Chief Zhu, Lin Yuanfang would definitely not pursue it further, the problem was that he had already greeted Township Chief Zhu. Then again, if he hadn't gone to Township Chief Zhu, I'm afraid that Zhang Luojian, a militia company commander, would probably not have lost his job so much, and honestly went to repair the pigsty for his eldest sister's family.

"Eldest sister, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle." Lin Yuanfang shook his head and said.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuanli said with a big grin: "Didn't you ask the township to remove Zhang Luojian's post? If you go and tell the township leader again, you won't let you withdraw, and you'll be hit. ”

Lin Yuanfang smiled bitterly and said in his heart, my good eldest sister, where is it as easy as you say? I think that the political axe of Donglin Township is our family's own land, so we can plant whatever we want?

"Who did you hear that I said to remove Zhang Luojian from his position in the township?" Lin Yuanfang waved his hand and said, "I don't know what's going on at all." I can't control this. ”

The little daughter-in-law has been nervously paying attention to Lin Yuanfang's expression, and when she heard Lin Yuanfang say that she couldn't control it, she knelt down with Lin Yuanfang with a "poof", sobbing and said: "Cadre Lin, please, please let Luo Jian go, he already knows that he is wrong, he has come to apologize to Sister Yuanli!" ”

Lin Yuanfang was startled, looked at the little daughter-in-law kneeling straight in front of him, looked at Lin Yuanli again, and asked, "Eldest sister, is she ......?"

"She is Zhang Luojian's son, called Juanzi." Lin Yuanli remembered that she forgot to introduce Lin Yuanfang, "No matter what Zhang Luojian looks like, Juanzi is a good person." "When the homestead was first contested, Zhang Luojian wanted to step forward and drag Liu Chengwen to beat him violently, but Juanzi hugged Zhang Luojian on the side and didn't let him do it. For this, Zhang Luojian also slapped Juanzi and scolded her for eating inside and out. The reason why Lin Yuanli agreed to come over to talk to Lin Yuanfang this time was mostly because of Juanzi's face.

Lin Yuanli said as she reached out to pull Juanzi: "Juanzi, what are you doing?" Hurry up, hurry up. ”

Juanzi knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Yuanli, if Cadre Lin doesn't help Luo Jian speak, I will kneel here and not get up." ”

"Juanzi, it's not that I don't help, but I can't help." Lin Yuanfang said: "What the leaders of the people's hometown decide, I said will it work?" ”

"Yes, definitely." Juanzi knelt on the ground and looked up at Lin Yuanfang: "You are the county worker, the county leader, and Township Chief Zhu works in the township and is the township leader, he must listen to what you say." ”

What logic! Lin Yuanfang was stunned for a while, and he became a county leader when he worked in the county? Still talking by himself, Zhu Yuejin will definitely listen? What made Zhu Yuejin still laugh when he heard this?

Lin Yuanli couldn't hold Juanzi here, so she had to beg Lin Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, no matter what, you can help Juanzi talk." ”

"Okay, okay, you get up." Lin Yuanfang thought that it was not a way to let Juanzi kneel down like this, so he had to say helplessly: "I will promise you to tell Township Chief Zhu to see, as for whether it will succeed or not, I will not guarantee the ticket." ”

"It's done, it's definitely done. I heard Village Chief Wang say that Township Chief Zhu listened to you the most. Juanzi was surprised and got up from the ground, "Cadre Lin, thank you so much." I will ask Luo Jian to come to the county seat and make amends to you in person. ”

"I don't need to use this." Lin Yuanfang said: "You go back and tell him for me, you must do things in a down-to-earth manner in the future, behave in a proper manner, and stop doing the things that oppress your neighbors." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Juanzi wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said, "Cadre Lin, don't worry, he will never do another bad thing in the future, otherwise you will let the township arrest him and take him to the labor camp, and I have no complaints." ”

After getting Lin Yuanfang's letter, Juanzi was overjoyed and was about to go home to tell Zhang Luojian the good news, but Lin Yuanfang stopped Juanzi and went out with a washbasin to get a basin of water for Juanzi to wipe her face. Otherwise, Juanzi walked out of her dormitory like this, and others saw her handsome face full of tears, and they might think that they had done something.

"Cadre Lin, where is the washbasin?" Juan Zizi carefully washed his face, looked up and asked Lin Yuanfang.

Lin Yuanfang looked at Juanzi's face as fresh and delicate as a hibiscus out of clear water, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, is this still the little daughter-in-law who was crying just now? This Zhang Luojian is really a blessing.

"Just go out and turn left." As soon as Lin Yuanfang's words came out, he realized that Juanzi was about to pour the washing water, so he said, "You put it here, I'll pour it later." ”

"No, no, no, I'll pour it." Juanzi rushed out with the washbasin.

Lin Yuanfang couldn't go up to stop him, so he had to shrug his shoulders and watch Juanzi go out. Taking advantage of this Juanzi going out, Lin Yuanfang pulled Lin Yuanli aside and asked in a low voice, "Eldest sister, did you really ask me to help Zhang Luojian speak?" Did he put some pressure on you? ”

"No, no, with you here, where does he dare?" Lin Yuanli shook her head again and again, and said: "I am a poor Juanzi, and the other is because of the villagers, if I ruin the future of others because of this incident, I will be poked in the back." No matter what, your brother and I still have to live in Fangzhuang. ”

Lin Yuanfang looked at the eldest sister's face that looked prematurely old because of fatigue, and sighed in his heart. The brother-in-law is not in good health, and the eldest sister is really not easy, a woman leads this family, and all aspects must be taken into account. Even if he was bullied so hard by Zhang Luojian, considering that he still had to live there, as soon as Zhang Luojian came to apologize, the eldest sister immediately forgave him. It seems that in the future, I still have to find a way to find a livelihood for the eldest sister, so that the eldest sister's family can leave that land, and the eldest sister can't be punished there anymore.

There is also this Zhang Luojian, who looked so reckless at the time, and now looking back at this person, he is definitely not an ordinary person, for the position of militia company commander, he can actually give up half a brick of the homestead back, and he can also put down his body and personally go to the eldest sister's house to build a pigsty, such a person may get up when he has an opportunity in the future.

Juanzi took the basin to the washbasin, unscrewed the water pipe, put the towel several times, and sniffed it lightly with her nose a few times to make sure that there was no smell of her own left on the towel, and then she was relieved. After subconsciously doing this action, Juanzi seemed to realize something, and two red clouds suddenly flew on her pretty face. As soon as she thought that Cadre Lin would wash her face with the towel she had wiped her face in the future, her heart couldn't stop pounding, as if Cadre Lin's handsome face and her little face touched together.

After waiting for a while, Juanzi took a basin of water and returned to Lin Yuanfang's dormitory.

Seeing that the time was already eleven o'clock, Lin Yuanfang meant that he wanted Lin Yuanli to stay and have lunch before leaving. But Lin Yuanli insisted on refusing, and she must go with Juanzi. Lin Yuanfang knew that the eldest sister could not rest assured of the child and brother-in-law, so he no longer forced him to stay, but just took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into the eldest sister's hand.

The eldest sister seemed to be burned, and quickly stuffed the money back into Lin Yuanfang's pocket: "Far away, don't, really don't." The family has it, and the village has just given a subsidy of 400 yuan. ”

"Ah, it's already been sent? So fast, huh? Lin Yuanfang didn't expect that Wang Fushun, the village chief, would be so resolute.

"Yes, yesterday Village Chief Wang personally delivered it home!" Lin Yuanli smiled happily, she took Lin Yuanfang's hand again and said, "Yuanfang, you can keep this money." You're not too small, it's time to talk about someone. Our parents are always thinking about this! ”

"Eldest sister, it's still early!" Lin Yuanfang's expression darkened, and he said with a forced smile: "I'm only 24 years old, so I'm not in a hurry." ”

"What's not in a hurry?" Lin Yuanli just said a word, looking at Lin Yuanfang's expression was wrong, knowing that she had touched her brother's heart again, she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, don't worry, it's small!" I heard that people in big cities are popular to get married at the age of 30! ”

Lin Yuanfang stopped talking, and sent Lin Yuanli and Juanzi away in silence all the way. Thinking of her in Zhongzhou, Lin Yuanfang sighed, owing her affection, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it off for the rest of my life.
