Guo Zhuocheng was thinking and observing, thinking about what kind of medicine Gong Baowei was selling in the gourd, and thinking about whether he really dared to sit or just make a appearance.

Guo Zhuocheng can temporarily endure the provocations of these people, but it does not mean that Zhu Caihong can endure it, her parents are from the countryside, and she also grew up in the countryside, and she understands these basic rules. The easterly position facing the gate at a table is the most precious seat, and according to the rules of the country, the most distinguished person at the table sits in that position. And the most precious people are either by status or by generational age.

As a little woman, she didn't have so many little Jiujiu in her heart, as soon as she saw Gong Baowei walking towards that position under Xiao Xiao'e's instigation, she said unevenly: "Village Chief Gong, I don't know why you sit in the main seat?" ”

Gong Baowei's feet involuntarily furrowed, and his eyes turned to Guo Zhuocheng.

Xiao Xiao'e, who was next to Gong Baowei, immediately said: "Secretary Zhu, what you said, no matter what aspect you say, Village Chief Gong should sit ......."

His words were interrupted by Guo Shucheng's cold snort: "Really? Originally, Guo Zhuocheng still wanted to observe for a period of time, what Cheng Cheng Gong Baowei was so domineering, and whether he was a hardcore cronie of Ma Xiude. But seeing that Zhu Caihong had already broken it, he had to "exert his might" in advance, and after he snorted coldly, he stared at Gong Baowei and Xiao Xiao'e with sharp eyes.

Xiao Xiao'e only felt a murderous aura rushing towards her face, her body was half cold, and she couldn't say the words in her mouth anymore.

Shrouded by Guo Shucheng's gaze, Gong Baowei also had the feeling of falling into an ice cave. When his gaze met Guo Zhuocheng's. His whole body stiffened. Frightened, he hurriedly turned his head, and after a long time, he said curtly: "Hehe, Secretary Zhu, is there anything else that is not the main seat when you sit down to eat?" ......, after so many years of liberation, who still talks about the feudal set of etiquette? Is there still a matter of male superiority and inferiority that there are people who are superior to others? ”

Although Gong Baowei's words were rhetorical questions, it was not so much an argument with Zhu Caihong as it was that he was looking for the steps by himself.

Zhu Caihong was not polite, and asked rhetorically: "Since there is no such thing as a lord, why do you go to that position." It's not close to there, but Sister Xiao is closer to that position. ”

Xiao Xiao'e hurriedly said, "I'm far away...... I'm far away...... It was the village chief Gong who recently ...... Recently......" she said as she stepped back, her clumsy movements to cover up were amused.

As a matter of fact. She and Gong Baowei were about the same distance from that position, but her big movement made people think that she was originally close there.

Gong Baowei secretly scolded the fool in his heart, and glared at the panicked Xiao Xiao'e fiercely, and said in a sneering voice: "We are all standing here, it seems that we are not far and near, right?" Director Xiao has always cared about people, and every time she lets someone else sit on her. ”

Xiao Xiao'e glanced at Guo Zhuocheng timidly, and said inarticulately: "Yes, yes......"

When it came to Xiao Xiao'e's panic, Zhu Caihong was much bolder. said, "Even if it's about the same." But I obviously heard Sister Xiao say something just now, asking you to sit on the throne of Village Chief Gong, is she talking nonsense or did you not hear clearly? ”

Gong Baowei couldn't get off the stage for a while, so he had to go to the side, and muttered: "It turns out that this position still has these particularities? So who sits in this position? You can't leave it free, can you? ”

Zhu Caihong sneered: "Is Village Chief Gong really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" Isn't Secretary Guo clearly here? Could it be that any of our people here has a higher position than him? ......, Secretary Guo, go sit down! ”

When Gong Baowei retreated, Guo Zhuocheng knew that this guy had not received many orders from his uncle Ma Xiude, but he was just showing his dissatisfaction with the newly arrived town party secretary, and he took it upon himself to breathe a sigh of relief for Ma Xiude, precisely because he did not receive specific instructions from Ma Xiude. So he wasn't bold enough to be too strong.

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said: "Xiao Zhu, you are too particular, what is the main position that is not the main position?" As long as it's good to talk about. As he spoke, he took Zhu Caihong's hand and sat in the main and secondary seats. Then he said to Zhang Jieyang, "Zhang Zhishu." Sit down and eat, we can't afford to lose too much time. ”

After saying these words, Guo Zhuocheng ignored the others, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. After putting a piece of chicken in his mouth, he said, "It tastes good, it's in the middle of the story." ......, I won't drink at noon, and I will wait to do the ideological work of the villagers, and if I have a mouthful of alcohol, the masses will have opinions. ”

Zhang Jieyang and Gong Baowei persuaded a few words, and seeing Guo Zhuocheng's resolute attitude, and Guo Zhuocheng's appearance was too small, he really drank from time to time, so they didn't insist anymore, and everyone threw off their arms and ate.

Although the style of the dish is not very large, the portion is absolutely sufficient, and the dishes in the five major porcelain bowls are piled up, a bowl of steamed chicken, a bowl of braised fish, a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of fried tofu, and a large bowl of vegetables.

Guo's chopsticks reach more for fish, tofu and vegetables, and he is not cold to chicken and braised pork, so he hardly eats it. Zhu Caihong was much more elegant, and her chopsticks almost only stretched out to the vegetable bowl closest to her.

Among these people, there is also one who eats "elegantly", that is, Zhang Jieyang, the village party secretary≡ who entered the village committee from Guo Zhuocheng, Zhang Jieyang's heart has been uneasy, especially just now Gong Baowei and Xiao Xiao'e sang a double reed together, provoking Guo Zhuocheng, so that his heart hung in his throat. He really Gong Baowei, this guy stimulated the young and vigorous Guo Zhuocheng to anger, and the two were likely to fight when they argued.

Regardless of whether the burly Gong Baowei will be injured or injured by Guo Zhuocheng, who is still a child, he Zhang Jieyang can't eat and walk around, who calls him the branch secretary and the nominal leader of Jinziling? When the time comes, punishment is inevitable.

As long as he is punished, he will not be able to sit in this position, and his secretary hat will be removed. Gong Baowei and the others have long been jealous of their position, but they don't have many handles for them to catch.

When Gong Baowei was afraid of Guo Zhuocheng's fierce gaze, and finally died down, Zhang Jieyang was surprised and even more delighted, and gave Guo Zhuocheng a thumbs up in his heart, and his eyes turned to Guo Zhuocheng from time to time. Because of his lack of concentration, his eating movements are naturally much more elegant.

After eating for a while, Guo Shucheng said to him: "Zhang Zhishu, please tell me about the fight." What the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Jieyang hurriedly said, "Okay, let's talk while eating." Let me start with the general situation. Hey, in fact, this is not a big deal, that is, the relationship between the two families is good, but since that sister's brother was admitted to a university in Northeast China last year, the situation has changed. ”

Under Zhang Jieyang's narration, things slowly became clear in Guo Shucheng and Zhu Caihong's minds:

Jinziling Village includes not only this natural village where the village committee is located, but also several surrounding villages. Although the higher authorities have set up a village committee here, there is a larger village in the natural village under the jurisdiction of this village committee - Barren Mountain Ridge.

This barren mountain ridge is more remote than here, and its population is larger than that of Jinziling and the surrounding small villages combined, and there are as many as 1,000 men, women, and children combined. But they live in a scattered area, some live in the hollows, some live on the mountainside, some live on the top of the mountain, and some live in caves. There was a large cave where not only seven or eight families lived, but also a small school in the middle of the cave, and the light came down through the cracks and was used as a lamp by the children.

If it weren't for the fact that the place was too remote, not because they lived too scattered, and if it weren't for Gong Baowei and others who had something to do with the town, the village committee would have built it in. Of course, there is another reason that it is too poor, just like the name of its village, barren mountains and mountains, barren mountains and mountains, barren mountains and mountains everywhere, the real land is vast and sparsely populated, there are many mountains and few lands, although the radius is dozens of miles, but the peasants who have never been there have paid public grain and paid taxes, but they need state subsidies every year, and they need the state to sell back grain in order to live.

Barren Mountain Ridge used to be an old revolutionary area, there were a few generals in it, there were also a lot of revolutionary martyrs, when the higher authorities subsidized it, they did not make it too difficult, relatively speaking, it was relatively generous, so that for a period of time the people outside were short of food and cut off, the people of this barren mountain ridge still had food, and many poor peasants also married their daughters to that remote place, just to let their daughters have enough to eat.

However, with the development of the contract responsibility system for joint production in the rural areas, the economy of Barren Mountain and other poor places has suddenly reversed. Because there is no land to be divided, and what is allocated to them is also a bit of barren land, and the peasants are not able to dig much food from this little bit of land, and the development of the contract responsibility system for joint production has not brought about a tremendous change in the economy of the barren mountains, but at most it has changed slightly.

On the contrary, in the rural areas outside, because there are more fields, the land is flat, and the land is relatively fertile, as soon as the fields are in hand, the peasants' enthusiasm rises, and the grain at home increases, and they are completely able to eat their stomachs, and they no longer have to soften the relief and subsidies in the barren mountains. After all, those subsidies and relief are limited, just to ensure that you don't starve to death, and want to eat with an open belly? Dream on, the country has not yet been so generous.

Moreover, after the implementation of the contract responsibility system for joint production, the state's policy is changing, and the generals who have gone out of the barren mountains and mountains continue to retire or die due to their age and other reasons, and their influence is naturally weakening, so that the relief and subsidies that were previously eye-catching are also decreasing day by day.

The barren mountains have once again become a garbage land in people's eyes, and people's eyes have gradually changed from envy to insipidity and then to disdain.

Not only are there no women from other places marrying in, but even local women are reluctant to find local men, and their parents are trying to marry them outside. Naturally, it is becoming more and more difficult for men in the barren mountains to find wives, and the funds needed to marry women are also increasing. A man being able to marry a beautiful wife is not only the glory of the family, but also the glory of the family, and is also talked about by the neighbors.
