The batch of goods was obtained from me, and today I lost face in front of my own students. The boss was unkind, and he complained about Dong Weiwei again: "Aren't you a grassroots party with rich experience in rural areas?" Why don't you come out and say a few words. ”

Dong Weiwei was even more angry now, thinking that the idea of holding a conference was not mine.

I wanted to pay a few words back to the past, but I felt that before this matter began, the captain and deputy captains would have opinions, and things would not be able to be done in the future. I had to say, "Let's see how many people come to register tomorrow." It's okay to be here today, at least I've seen that things in this village are not simple, and you can't be in a hurry. ”

So he called the team members and the squad leader in charge of the guards over and held a short meeting. It was decided that everyone would go down to the village tomorrow and try to get in touch with the local villagers. Take a closer look at the bottom of the village. The guards were responsible for surveying the terrain of the entire village in preparation for the subsequent construction of the earthen enclosure.

The next day, as Dong Weiwei expected, there were very few Ding Zhuang who came to report to the ancestral hall. Even Uncle Fu, who took the lead yesterday and said that he intended to sign up, did not show up. Du Bian had no choice but to call the liaison Lao Sun.

Lao Sun is an outsider from the village, who fled from the mainland and settled here. Because he had nothing to worry about, Daolu Village made him a "liaison" because he had to go to Bairen for a meeting every month, he knew more about the traversal, and he was very friendly to the traversal, and he suffered a little for this. After killing the party, he felt proud, but because of the last teaching, he didn't dare to get too close to the task force.

Lao Sun came back from the net, and heard that Captain Du was invited, so he hurriedly came to the ancestral hall. He probably knew what the female official wanted to ask, but it was just Ding Zhuang's refusal to come to report. He was very embarrassed about this matter, because the situation in Daolu Village was particularly complicated.

The thirteen village area is a good "bandit area" registered in the county yamen. The imperial grain and national tax here can also be paid, but if you pay too much and pay too little, the government can't control it at all. If the officials who flaunted their might and "made the public gain" during the collection of summer and autumn levies had no friendship with the party, they would not dare to come here at all, otherwise they would be killed.

In this situation, the feelings of the people in the Thirteen Villages area towards the bandits are complicated: some people. Received benefits from bandits for a variety of reasons; Some people were badly harmed by bandits, and there were not a few families who died; Zuihou's, naturally, is the "silent majority", the latter is the modern "soy sauce crowd", although they are more or less plagued by bandits, they are still within the range of tolerable.

However, no matter what kind of attitude they hold, the 13 villages of the party's bandits, especially in Daolu Village, still indirectly bring some benefits to the people here, and every time they go out to rob, the villagers who follow them out to become "temporary bandits" can reap some benefits, and even the peasants who have set up ox carts to transport stolen goods can also get some things after they come back. Moreover, the locals have seen the ferocity of the bandits and the incompetence of the government, and they don't know how long this group of "new officials" can stay, they did kill the party and the three major gold nets under him, but after all, someone has slipped through the net, in case the bandits come back, there are several clans of the party family in this village to settle old accounts, and some of the bandits' families are still there.

"Old Sun!" Du Chang asked seriously, "You are the liaison officer of this village, tell me the details of this village." ”

This young woman with a serious face made Lao Sun feel more scared than the soldiers who carried birds outside. It reminded him of the book office that used to come to the village to run an errand mission. is also such an "official face"

The small one is an outsider," said Lao Sun, "The details of the village are not very clear."

"You've lived here for more than ten years, you should know something."

"I really don't know." Lao Sun blinked, with an innocent look on his face, a small foreigner, although he has lived for more than ten years, he has no contact with the local villagers, and he knows some things on the surface, and the details are not clear. ”

Seeing this old man playing Tai Chi, Du Chang held his temper: "Let's talk about the things on the surface." ”

"Cheng, Chengxiao, that's it."

So he told me how many households there were in the village and where the boundaries were. asked him who was a big family, who was a bandit, and which family had more land, and the old grandson didn't know anything.

"I don't know who became a bandit?!" Du Bian couldn't hold his breath and attacked, "I think you want to hurt the bandits!" ”

Damn! Little damn it! Lao Sun looked at the "female official's family" with upside down willow eyebrows and round apricot eyes. I also heard that "harboring bandits" was a crime to cut off my head, so I was so frightened that I quickly knelt down.

The little ones really don't know, and they don't dare to cover up! ”

"Don't, don't" Dong Weiwei hurriedly went up and helped him up, "Old Sun, don't be like this, a handful of people,"

"Alright, alright, you can go back first." Dong Weiwei sent him out. Back in the hall, Du Yan was still sulking there.

"What are you doing here? Wasn't last night's teaching enough? ”

"This old slippery head, he won't say a word about the key things, I think he has the intention to shield the bandits! Diao Min one! Du Bian said indignantly.

"You're just doing grassroots work!" Dong Weiwei also endured it.

"Isn't this engaging in grassroots work?!" Du Bian's voice is no lower than Dong Weiwei.

"You are bureaucratic and yamen! Can this mobilize the masses? ”

Du Bian was suddenly deflated, she was naturally not afraid of quarrels, but this is not a showor meeting, just break it, the executive committee and Ma Qianzhuo are waiting for them to make results, when will Daolu Village be completed in this way? Not to mention that there are still twelve villages to investigate. volunteered to come out to engage in the work team, but he couldn't get results, how could he be in front of Ma Qianzhuo in the future"

"What do you say?" She sat down in a depressed mood.

"Let's wait for the students who go down to touch the situation to summarize the situation." Dong Weiwei sighed. It stands to reason that they should go down by themselves, but this is the oral century, and it is not easy for women to show their faces, and it is probably delusional to go down to the village to talk. Besides, they don't have much in common with the local people.

On the second and third days", for several days in a row, the students were active in the village. According to what I learned in the workshop, "making friends" allows the locals to slowly remove their guard.

Early this morning, a student named Liu Si in the work team went out after breakfast, and he had already found a household. In the past few days, the public is using the "eating and working together" technique that Du Chui often says, and the brother "stops."

This family lives in the east of the village, with a thatched roof and a bamboo mat wall, which has not been repaired for many years, and the bamboo roof truss is a little crooked, and the house looks crooked.

Outside the house, there was a fence wall surrounded by bamboo, and it was covered with pumpkin vines. There was a bare-bottomed kid playing on the dirt floor at the door. When I saw him coming, I quickly got up and greeted him. The monkey wants that sweet stone to eat on him. Liu Si took out a small piece of rock candy from his pocket and gave it to him. After a little more coaxing, he went into the courtyard.

He knew the way well, and without knocking or greeting, he went straight to the shed and got a hoe. After a while, the door of the thatched hut opened, and a woman came out, thin and small, with a bit of a posture, but some yellow faces and thin muscles, and a gown made of blue clay cloth that both men and women commonly wear here, although the patches were patched, they were cleanly washed. A bodhisattva with a wooden stick stuck in his head. He carried a rattan basket in his hand.

The two men seemed to be completely acquainted, and without even saying a word, they walked together towards the field behind the house.

The woman is a widow in this village, her husband's surname is Zhou, and everyone calls her Widow Zhou. Widow Zhou's man turned out to be a small grain household, and when the party got into trouble, his whole family was wiped out, and all the floating wealth and grain were robbed. Fortunately, the woman is a little beautiful, so she takes it by her side and is a "lady of the village", which can be regarded as saving her and her son's lives. After a few years, the party got tired of it and threw her away, and she led her son to live alone.

Not long after the team entered the village, Liu Si got along with Widow Zhou when he went to the village to "make friends".

He was originally from a peasant family, and he did a good job of crop work. And he was originally an active person who could speak well, and after years of wandering life, he learned to speak skillfully, and it was precisely because of this talent that he was selected to be sent to the training center after he came out of the thinning camp and worked as a laborer for a short time.

Because of his relationship with the party, Zhou Widow is very unpopular in the village and is often bullied. In the past, because of the existence of the party. Everyone still has some scruples. Don't dare to make too much trouble, and don't dare to beat her idea, you must know that the party is very concerned about the woman in his hands, and he can reward a woman to his subordinates when he is happy, but if his subordinates want to move around, he has not said that he can touch the woman, and there is a great disaster.

As soon as the party door was finished, the people who openly troubled her had not yet appeared, but a group of idle people in the village who were unwilling to be lonely inevitably threw bricks and tiles in front of and behind her door, or used the excuse of asking for water to drink, so as to make a mockery. Those who were plagued by bandits, they didn't dare to find the real bandits, so they used her to vent their anger, and from time to time someone came to the door to point at Sang and scold Ge, and smashed a few broken bowls and jars. It made her unstable.

Liu Si's appearance made the people in the village immediately polite to her and hooked up with the man of the work team, which would make the work team an official family in the village.

Liu Si helped Widow Zhou hoe the ground, ate a few steamed pieces at noon, and went with her to tending to the garden. The land under the name of Widow Zhou is not small, but she can't grow much as a woman, so she has to give it to her husband's clansmen. In addition to planting two acres of land, she planted some garden land, planted some vegetables, and used melons and vegetables to fill the lack of food.

The two of them were weeding and setting up shelves, and gossiping at the same time.

Widow Zhou is desperate to have a man to set up a household and help with the work, so as not to let her be bullied in the village, Liu Si is a long-lost husband, although the relationship between the two is not **, it can be regarded as a thousand miles a day.

"Fourth brother, you just take off your gray skin." During the break, the two of them sat under the cucumber trellis, which was very hidden and no one could see it. This is the second time a woman has mentioned this, she wants to recruit Liu Si to get started, which also has a famous name in the countryside, called "recruiting husbands and adopted children"

"Take off this skin, you pay me?" Liu Si said with a smile.

"What kind of team member are you here, how much pay can you pay for?" The woman slapped the soil in her hand and sighed, "In the past, the soldiers of the court who suppressed bandits were as poor as calling Huazi, and they robbed things when they saw them, pigs and chickens, and if they were caught, they killed them as if they had never eaten meat for eight lifetimes." Xiang Yong is just mixing bowls and getting a few small bucks. You are a townsman for the Australian lord, how good can you be? ”

Liu Siyi smiled, after a few months of study in the rural training center, his horizons have been opened, and his ambitions are naturally very big. But there is no need to say this to her now, lest the little woman be frightened to death.

"Wearing this, don't you also set up a door. Maybe I'll be a cadre in your village in the future. ”

"What do you mean by being a cadre?"

“？！” Liu Sigang wanted to explain, but he couldn't think of the right words, and scratched his scalp.

"Isn't it just a security chief or something?"

"That's right. That's what it means. ”

"Alas, I still serve as the chief of security, the chief of our village, the chief of the first generation, four or five have died in ten years, and none of them have died well. They all killed their heads. When the government came, they said that you were a bandit, and when the bandits came, they said that you betrayed your brother, and it was too late to shout injustice. ”

"The head of the party door is hanging out, and I'm still afraid of him. Feudal official? Liu Si was dismissive, "I can't care about it." ”

"That's right, I'm just afraid of the future" The woman stopped talking.

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Si asked attentively, isn't this the people's sentiment that Chief Du wants to know?

"Although the party family is finished, but his brothers are still alive, in case of a comeback, you will be the first to be the first to be stabbed for the Australians, as a village warrior and a security chief? It's even bothering me."

"Just those few bandits, I'm afraid that Shi Gong will kill him anytime and anywhere." Liu Cai disagreed.

"That Uncle Xin hasn't been caught yet." Widow Zhou lowered her voice a few points further.

"It's almost there. Can't run out of the palm of our hand. ”

"Don't blow it yet." Widow Zhou raised her eyes and looked outside the fence, "I heard that there are people in those families who have fallen into the grass, and they are all secretly planning, preparing to find Xin that day back and start again, and everyone will start again." ”

Liu Si's hair stood on end, this is important news: "Really? He asked.

"It's all about the legends in the village. Let's talk about Zhao Dachong and Xin Nachun, they are colluding with these families every day. ”

"Who are these two people?"

"Zhao Dachong's father is Zhao Haiqing, a subordinate of the party, and he will also kill you this time. This stunned boy has a grudge and wants revenge.
