The village department, a large brick and stone structure house, was originally the courtyard of the big landlord Liu Wenhua, located in the center of Shuangliu Village, also known as the willow house, last year's land reform, was confiscated by the county party committee and changed to the village department, the house is brightly lit, several people of the village committee sit around the table, in the middle sit Liu Daddy and Wang Shouwu, on both sides sit the accountant Liu Wengui, the custodian Liu Zhongzhang, the security director and militia company commander Wang Shoujiang, and the principal of the high school Liu Chengzu. Liu Chengzu wore reading glasses and carefully proofread the registration form for joining the army, Daddy Liu smoked dry cigarettes, Wang Shouwu whispered with Wang Shoujiang about the candidate for the new security director, Liu Zhongzhang stood up from time to time and looked at the gate, Liu Wengui was fiddling with the abacus beads, the meeting had not yet started, everyone was waiting for Wang Huilan, the women's director.

"Second Sister Wang, Second Sister Wang is here!" Liu Zhongzhang jumped more than half a foot high, and Father Liu glared at him with disdain, and reprimanded him sharply, "Bastard, Second Sister Wang is also called by you!" Hearing the reprimand, Zhongzhang pursed his lips and quickly sat down, he is usually most afraid of his second uncle Daddy Liu, that is, his father Liu Wenzheng is also respectful to Daddy Liu, Daddy Liu's real name is Liu Wende, three brothers, brother Liu Wenzheng, brother Liu Wengui, Liu Zhongzhang is the eldest son of Liu Wenzheng, and also the eldest of the chapter generation of the Liu family's compound, twenty-three years old, before liberation, he used fifty catties of white flour from Ye County to change a daughter-in-law who was four years younger than him, called Lin Qi, and he also has a younger brother named Liu Houzhang, a younger sister named Liu Weiji, Liu Weiji is not his own sister, is the eldest daughter of Liu's father-in-law Wang Shouchen, whose real name is Wang Pu, and she passed to Liu Wenzheng shortly after she was born.

"Brother-in-law, look at it, my dead ghost finally came back from the city and has been haunting me." Wang Huilan, the second sister of Wang in Liu Zhongzhang's mouth, coquettishly told her brother-in-law Daddy Liu as soon as she entered the door, the big guys, including her second brother Wang Shouwu, all looked up at her, Wang Huilan's name is like her person, like a blooming orchid, her body is light and plump, she walks with flowers, the blue and white coarse cotton pants are tightly wrapped around the willow waist, Danfeng's eyes are shining, the delicate melon seed face is delicate and can squeeze out the water, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the anger is also pretty, and the upper body is wearing a waist-length placket small green jacket, the chest is towering, and the green jacket is about to burst at any time. The hands are particularly beautiful, slender and slender, like freshly peeled onions, the little finger of the right hand has long nails, and the left wrist has a jade jade ring. Married for seven years, did not give birth to a man and a half girl to the old Zhang family, the dead ghost in her mouth is her man Zhang Shibao, the current director of the Huangxian County Party Committee Office, rushed back to Shuangliu Village from the county seat early in the morning, met the second uncle Wang Shouwu at the entrance of the village, and handed over the registration form of Shuangliu Village to Wang Shouwu, and even went home without entering the village, and the couple stayed at home all day and never went out.

"Brother-in-law, Shibao brought you two more bottles of Jingzhi, and I will send them to you tomorrow morning." Wang Huilan put her arms around Daddy Liu's shoulders and whispered, the fragrance of fat powder on her face went straight to Daddy Liu's heart and spleen, and her towering chest rubbed against Daddy Liu's back, although through the thick cotton jacket, the soft and crispy crisp was about to leave, Daddy Liu took two puffs of dry tobacco hard, touched his elbow back, and scolded, "Huilan, you are too disagreeable, let everyone wait for you to drive alone, don't sit down for a meeting!" Wang Huilan sat down beside Daddy Liu stupidly, and when she turned around, she didn't forget to secretly pinch Daddy Liu's waist.

Wang Shouwu coughed twice, turned his head and asked Father Liu, "Director Liu, about the conscription work, why don't you tell everyone about it first?" Seeing that the second brother always called his brother-in-law Director Liu seriously, Wang Huilan sneered. Daddy Liu said calmly, "Our most important task at present is to successfully complete the conscription work, tomorrow we will send off our thirteen descendants of Shuangliu Village on the expedition, busy for more than a month of conscription work finally has a more ideal result, the big guys are doing well, wine, big red flowers, colorful flags, and gongs and drums I think are well prepared, tomorrow's send-off atmosphere must be grand and warm, the armed forces to pick up the recruits of the big truck do not drive into the village, just stop at the east entrance of the village, Our fathers and fellow villagers want to send the descendants all the way out of the village, so that they can remember that Shuangliu Village is their roots! In addition, Shoujiang will join the army tomorrow, and the position of the director of public security will be vacant, Shouwu, how did you discuss with Shoujiang, is there a suitable candidate? ”

"Yes, director, Shoujiang and I both recommend Zhang Shiyu from the backstreet." Shou Wu hurriedly answered.

"Zhang Shiyu? Just Zhang Jishou's youngest son? Daddy Liu suspected that he had misheard.

"Hehehe, that's right, brother-in-law, Shuangliu Village can still find a second Zhang Shiyu, it's my little brother-in-law who is idle all day long!" Hui Lan said before the noon.

Daddy Liu couldn't help frowning, the past is like smoke in his heart, the Zhang family and the Liu family have a deep relationship, Zhang Jishou brothers, and a younger brother named Zhang Jifu, their father is called Zhang Lu, he is in his early seventies this year, and he is also a figure in Shuangliu Village, his ancestral home is Xinzheng, Henan, and he fled to Shuangliu Village during the Guangxu period, and Liu Huayong, the grandfather of Daddy Liu, took him in......

"What's wrong, brother-in-law, isn't it appropriate?" Wang Shouwu saw that Father Liu was silent, so he asked softly, and in a hurry, he called out to Father Liu about his brother-in-law like his sister Wang Huilan.

Father Liu came back to his senses at this time, he sneered, and said with a straight face, "Shouwu, this is not a suitable or inappropriate thing, you are simply messing around, let him be the director of security and the commander of the militia company, and the people won't blow up the pot?" Huilan said, that Zhang Shiyu is an idle person, don't you and Shoujiang know? How did he become a militia is a question mark, let him be the militia company commander is simply a big joke in the world, this kid has the strength to speak, but he is not used on the right path, as a peasant baby, who has seen him go to the ground? is not as capable as his sister Zhang Yan, a person in his early twenties, running around the front streets all day long, slipping in the back streets, and drilling into the group of big girls and small daughters-in-law, Liu Wendou in the civilized alley of the back street, was blown up and crippled when mining stones in Niushan last year, everyone knows, right? Daddy Liu glanced at Wang Shouwu, Wang Shouwu nodded, Daddy Liu slammed the cigarette bag and pot on the table fiercely, "This Zhang Shiyu went to climb the wall of Liu Wendou's house in the middle of the night a few days ago, Wendou's daughter-in-law met me on the street yesterday, crying and crying, saying that the family was fortunate to have a dog and drove Zhang Shiyu away, I have been busy with conscription in the past two days, and I haven't freed up my hands to clean him up, you two are good, and you two are so good that you recommend this kind of scoundrel as the director of public security, what a big joke!" Daddy Liu's words, ashamed of Wang Shouwu and Wang Shoujiang's faces flushed, Wang Shouwu was forced by his brother-in-law Zhang Shibao to be really helpless before he was willing to stand up for Zhang Shiyu, and Wang Shoujiang often ate and drank with Zhang Shiyu in private, and accepted a lot of small favors from Zhang Shiyu, it was out of selfishness that Zhang Shiyu was promoted, and now he was humiliated by Daddy Liu in public, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in, Daddy Liu looked at the two of them with disdain, and then took out the tobacco bag and filled it with a pipe, Huilan quickly picked up the fire on the table and helped him light the cigarette, Daddy Liu squinted and sucked up.

"The village chief is right, due to the sudden outbreak of the Korean War, our country is currently in a wartime state, the militia belongs to the reserve force, and may be conscripted into the army at any time, that is the pillar of the country, how can a person who does not learn and is unskilled to be the militia company commander, I think even his militia qualifications should be given." Liu Chengzu said angrily.
