In the big guy, rain is a normal operation. The rainstorm had stopped the next morning, and the air outside was fresh.

The Zheng Sen and Zheng Ping brothers once again embarked on the road to the grassroots, this time they wanted to go directly to the grassroots villages, to see the real rural life in the Taoyuan General Administrative District, and to see the real life of the people here.

In order to better see the real scene, the two deliberately avoided the villages around Jilong County, and also deliberately avoided the settlements near the sea, and ran inland.

……

The sun was on the buttocks, and the people of Beizhili got up lazily on Tuesday. The farm was over, and he had to rest for a few days. This northland man suddenly planted rice, which made him spend a lot of energy.

Even though he already had experience last year, it was a big group. And now it's for myself.

He has a mother-in-law again, a woman from Jiangxi, who is very diligent.

Today, as always, I got up early, fed the chickens and pigs, and prepared breakfast. By the time Tuesday Fu got up, the meal had already been served on the table.

The staple food is a bowl of salted fish porridge, a bowl of rice with a handful of small salted fish, boil for half an hour on a high fire, sprinkle salt when it comes out of the pot, press into a handful of wild mountain su, a big bowl of salted fish porridge and be full and oily.

The side dish is still wild mountain soybean, this thing is especially many in the big staff, the darker the green leaves when choosing, the fatter the better, don't mistake the green color of the mountain su taste is soft, that is the opposite. There is also a white egg.

The life at home is good, and the fresh meat can be cut from time to time, and this egg, duck egg or something is common.

Tuesday Fu has long been accustomed to this kind of food, and he finished his breakfast three times and five times, and then swallowed the white eggs in one bite. I didn't save the consciousness of feeding my child at all. After being busy on the farm, three meals a day automatically become two soft and one dry a day, but this is not because the food at home is not enough to eat, but because habit becomes natural. After many years of hard life, the word "saving" has long been engraved into the bones of their generation.

Why do you eat so much when you don't work anymore? It's a complete waste. When you get back to work after a few days, it's not too late to get back to the way it was. You must know that when he was in Beizhili, he didn't have two meals a day.

Isn't it good to have two soft meals and one dry meal now?

Wiping his mouth, Zhou Fu smoked a cigarette pouch pot from his waist with his backhand, and this custom of smoking was widely spread among the adults. This thing can not only dispel dampness and refreshment, but also repel mosquitoes (snakes), plus a lot of land, now it seems that the fertility is enough, and the cultivation of tobacco has huge economic benefits, but it quickly spread on the island.

Zhou Fu sat on the bench with a cigarette pouch and pot, smiling at the door, where his five-year-old daughter was sitting on the threshold turning over the flower rope.

This child is actually not his own, as a regrouped family, Tuesday Fu has an extra daughter-in-law and a daughter. The little girl is very well-behaved and well-behaved, and she has been together for a long time, and Zhou Fu has naturally regarded her as his daughter. This is also the only child in their family.

Just a few years ago, his son died of a fever not long after he was born, which made both of them heartbroken, and at the same time, they loved their daughter even more.

Zhou Shi Lisuo cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the table, and then went to the room to bring a porcelain teapot, poured two bowls of tea for Zhou Fuhe himself, and then held a small dustpan, and then sat down. In the dustpan there is a needlework and thimble, and there is a sole that has not been finished. While holding the soles of his shoes, he complained: "The price of pork and mutton has risen again, and even the price of small dried fish has also risen." I raised the price once on my last trip, and the sugar and cloth also rose sharply. So many people who are public don't know how to take care of it? ”

"How? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what does the public care? ”

Tuesday Fu rolled his eyes and felt that his mother-in-law was really excessive. This Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai, what is there for the public to take care of? If you don't buy it if it's too expensive, don't you? The vendors couldn't sell their things, so they naturally lowered the price.

Zhou Fu is the chief of this village, and Zheng Zhilong is doing it to protect the armor. The basic household registration of a residential area is 10 A 100 households, headed by the chief of security, and below there are 10 A chiefs. Among the ten first lieutenants, there are those outstanding people, and they also serve as the accountant, propaganda and security captain of the village. This propaganda is a person who specializes in propagating policies.

In a sense, he also eats public meals, and can pay a certain amount of less taxes than other ordinary people. Even if you are lucky, you can go to the township in one step.

Under Zheng's rule, towns and villages below the county level were already real officials.

There is not only a grade, but also a channel to climb up.

The Taoyuan Governorate under the rule of the Zheng family has already set up prefectures and counties, plus Denglai in the north and Luzon and Hexian in the south, and there will be no place for them.

It's just that Tuesday Fu doesn't have such great ambitions, and the current days are already good days that he can't even dream of. His most urgent desire now is not to be promoted and rich, but to have another son.

In the middle of the morning, the communicator from the township rushed over to convey a notice that a meeting would be held in the afternoon.

After eating on Tuesday, he wore clean and tidy clothes, and hurriedly left the house and ran to the village.

When he arrived at the township office, he found that most of the village chiefs had already arrived. Quite a few people are already sitting in their seats.

Chinese society has always had a sub-culture, which emphasizes the difference between respect and inferiority. In today's conference rooms, the front and back rows of each natural village are also exquisite. First of all, we should look at the amount of public grain that your village can pay, secondly, the number of military martyrs and military dependents in this village, and finally the number of workers in this village who participated in the construction project.

On Tuesday, Fu sat in a very forward position, and every time there was a meeting, it was his pride. Seeing a large number of security chiefs of the same rank lined up behind him, he didn't say anything on his face, but he definitely felt glorious in his heart. There is no shadow of officials in the judicial, public security, taxation and other aspects in the small signs (table cards) at the top, and Tuesday Fu judged that today's meeting should be just a simple "work meeting".

The person who presided over the meeting was, of course, the head of the township, a veteran with two fingers missing from his left hand, surnamed Zheng. It is said that he is a fellow villager with Zheng Hou, and he has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and is also literate and hyphenated, so he was sent to be the head of the township.

Their township is not a town, and its economic development is a little backward, but there are many people. There are 73 villages in total, and there are no more than 50 villages under the jurisdiction of ordinary townships. This is the farthest place in Jilong County, and there are only so many villages left, and it is not enough to divide into two townships, and it is even more impossible to give it to more than 20 villages in Linxian County, so there is this extremely large township that is seriously overstaffed.

Of the 73 villages, more than 60 are full-mand, that is, 100 households in the village. The average population of each household is also large, reaching 5.3 people. Tuesday Fujia is a drag!

There are more than 30,000 people in the township. The public rations it pays, the recruits who enlist every quarter, and the number of labor dispatches are all the first in Jilong County.

Township Chief Zheng does not change his military style, he is short-tempered, and it is common to slap the table and scold his mother. When they were angry, they could only be criticized with their heads down.

Today's meeting is also bright and straight to the point.

"Today, I will call all the big guys to a meeting, and the theme is to tell you about the recent rise in prices."

"According to people's feedback and tax statistics, in the past month, the prices of various commodities in our township have risen to varying degrees. Among them, the daily necessities that the people are most concerned about, such as meat, salt and sugar, sauce and vinegar, cloth, and oil, have all risen considerably. The prices of ironware, hardware, ceramics and other commodities are relatively stable, with small or no changes. This is mainly due to the fact that there will be a big move by the government recently, and it is the official procurement that has caused a shortage of many items in the market, which has caused the prices of some daily necessities in the market to rise sharply......"

On Tuesday, Fu wrote down two lines in his notebook, and the meeting was over. Soldier township chief, the style is so crisp.

To put it simply, the Zheng family is going to fight, and the matter came quite suddenly, and the logistics raided and bought a lot of meat, salt, sugar, cloth, fat, etc. from the market, which made the price of items rise one after another, which is an emergency, not the norm. After a while, the price will change back. Don't worry everyone! At the same time, he told the village security chiefs to do a good job in the work of their military dependents, and not to let the brothers in the army go to the battlefield with worries about their families......

When Fu returned home on Tuesday, the sun was already in the west. He wiped his sweat, and once again strengthened his belief in buying a donkey or mule in the coming year, otherwise he would have to walk on two legs in this hurry, which would be too tiring.

Walking into Zhuangzi, there were still more than a dozen steps from the door of the house, and he smelled a smell of meat.

"Chicken stew with potatoes!"

The scent can't escape. "What day is it? Or is this woman crazy? Actually killed the hen that started laying eggs after the year? ”

Tuesday Fu didn't want to mention more in his heart.

"Abba, Abba......" The girl's voice came.

"Seventh Master Liu's house has a guest, and it was Uncle Liu who came with him. There are also Second Uncle Huang, Little Nine Uncle, Brother Liu, Brother Wednesday, and Brother Tiedan, who are also back. ”

Tuesday Fu slapped his thigh when he heard this, this is the village soldiers are all back, and there are also distinguished guests. Eighteen or nineteen is a person in the army, and he is in a hurry to go home.

Zhou had already prepared new clothes for him, and boiled two buckets of hot water, which were still hot.

"The boss is back, go and rush to the body. Lao Jiu and Tie Dan have just been gone. The soldiers in the village have all returned, and the fifth brother of the Liu family also met a group of people on the road, and it should be the two rich sons who led the entourage to wander around, and looked east and west on the road, so they invited them to the village. ”

The little nine uncles and Tie Dan in the girl's mouth, that is, the old nine and Tie Dan in Zhou's mouth, this is Zhou Fu's own family.

Zhou Fu was already unbuttoning his belt, and when he heard this, he was first disappointed, not a person in the army, but then he said happily: "Liu Wu, this kid is clever, and those two people must be nobles." "It's not as simple as a rich boy.

He has been in Taoyuan for a while, how can he not know how strict the internal and external constraints are in this Taoyuan? The usual boy doesn't have such a big face.

After a simple rinse, he changed into clothes, and hurried to Liu's house. Zhou's voice also came from behind, "You tell Aunt Liu by the way, I'll send this chicken when it's stewed." "I didn't get a half-reply from Tuesday.

Zheng Sen and Zheng Ping brothers are now sitting in the hall of the Liu family.

The faces of the two brothers did not hide their surprise and admiration, this house turned out to be a brick house, not the kind of brick house with two feet of bricks below and adobe walls on top, but blue bricks and black tiles on the top. Even Zheng Sen, who has an understanding of Taoyuan, didn't expect it.

"Do we have coal here, we can burn bricks if we have coal. There is a kiln factory in the township, and if you have money, you can buy bricks, and if you don't have money, you can go to the kiln factory to work in adobe, and you can exchange it for bricks and tiles......"

The voice of the old man of the Liu family was loud.
