Chapter 16: It's a Borrow, Not a Gun!
As a poverty alleviation cadre, the most important thing is to be patient, and at the same time know various conversation strategies, proficient in talking to people, talking nonsense, and barking when a dog is seen.
In short, according to Zhang Ran's own opinion, this job is not done by people at all.
But he still persevered, and he did a good job.
However, in the face of Ma Chengbang, Zhang Ran once again had the idea that this mass work is by no means a work done by people.
What does it mean that oil and salt do not enter?
Ma Chengbang is.
originally thought that he was talking about the overall situation and policy, knowing the interests and disadvantages, and even used the trick of complaining about grievances to win sympathy......
When Ma Chengbang listened, it was called a man who understood the righteousness, but once he wanted him to take some practical action, this guy immediately had a bitter face, spread his hands, and said with a crying voice, Captain Zhang, it's not that you don't give it, it's really not......
Zhang Ran didn't understand, according to the records in the history of the county, this guy was obviously a man who came to the door in eight ways, and immediately peed his pants in fright, asking for money and food, and his performance in the early stage was leveraged, as for being a traitor, that was a later story.
Why did he get here, and this guy couldn't get into the pinch?
In fact, although Zhang Ran said that he wanted 10,000 catties of grain and 2,000 oceans, he didn't really want Ma Chengbang to take it out without saying a word, and he also gave Ma Chengbang room to sit on the ground and repay the money!
But now, Zhang Ran lowered the 10,000 catties of grain he wanted to 6,000 catties, and the ocean to 700 yuan, but Ma Chengbang still pulled his old face, and his head shook like a rattle......
"What the hell do you want!"
Zhang Ran is really a little hot, in the face of a guy like Ma Chengbang who doesn't eat oil and salt, he thinks that don't talk about himself, the Buddha is on fire!
"I really admire the courage and determination of your Eighth Route Army, and I really want to support it with practical actions, but our Ma family is really difficult......"
Ma Chengbang stared at a pair of small eyes, and pitifully raised his slap and flipped it twice: "Captain Zhang, or this number?" ”
"Five thousand catties of grain, five hundred pieces of ocean?"
Zhang Ran said happily when he heard this: "Master Ma, you said it earlier, just express your attitude, and we won't have to use ink for a long time, right?" ”
Although it is a lot less than the last grain and ocean he wanted, if he can get so much, Zhang Ran is still satisfied.
No, no, no......
Who knew that as soon as he heard this, Ma Chengbang jumped up with a thud, and waved his hands and said: "Captain Zhang, even if you grind my old bones Ma Chengbang into ashes, my Ma family will not be able to take out 5,000 catties of grain and 500 pieces of ocean......"
Zhang Ran said angrily: "Then how much are you talking about?" ”
"Five hundred catties of grain, fifty pieces of ocean ......"
Ma Chengbang said in a shy.
"You ......"
Zhang Ran trembled angrily when he heard this, even if his offer was a sky-high asking price, but it was not such a way to repay the money on the ground, right?
Five hundred pounds, fifty dollars?
"It's really only so much to come up with, Captain Zhang!"
Ma Chengbang said with a bitter old face, with an expression of whether you like it or not.
With a bang, Zhang Ran angrily opened the door and rushed out, clenching his fists to death.
"Captain, the surname Ma doesn't agree?"
Looking at Zhang Ran's face, Wang Lao and Wang Kai asked.
Zhang Ran explained the situation again.
"Bastard, you only give 500 catties of grain and 50 oceans? When our Eighth Route Army came to ask for food? ”
Because he could only watch the villagers eat and drink spicy food, Wang Wenping, who was holding back the fire in his belly, screamed, and the great powers shouted: "Lao Tzu, let's do him......
"Captain Zhang, you Eighth Route Army, you can't just beat people......"
Seeing Wang Wenping's appearance, Ma Chengbang in the room only screamed in fright, and shrank directly behind the stool.
Although Ma Chengbang, who was scared enough, still bit 500 catties of grain and 50 oceans and did not let go, Zhang Ran was still very satisfied with Wang Wenping's performance - he was sure that if Ma Chengbang didn't know enough about the policy of the Eighth Road, Wang Wenping would probably have been cowardly!
Although Wang Wenping is not smart enough, sometimes, there are still a few such people around him.
Doing something like revolution with a bunch of smart people together will never succeed.
"Captain Zhang, do we still need all this grain and ocean?"
Wang Changtian came over to ask, and his face was not at all aggrieved by Ma Chengbang's begging for food, but with a little joy - the same goes for those villagers.
After all, for them, this trip to eat a big meal is already worth the fare, so they don't care too much about whether they can get food and the ocean.
"Yes, why not?"
Zhang Ran gritted his teeth and said, although the money and food to be received are far from the ideal, but compared to the current situation, it is still not without a small supplement!
"Captain Zhang, I'm really sorry, it's not that I don't give it, it's really not a solid foundation......"
Watching Wang Changtian, Lu Yan and others loading food, Ma Chengbang kept chattering beside Zhang Ran.
The apologetic expression was sincere, but Zhang Ran clearly felt the snickering in this guy's heart, but he could only pinch his nose and admit it......
He really has no way to play this kind of soft knife under the policy of the Eighth Route Army!
Not only Ma Chengbang, but even Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and others, when they saw Zhang Ran's expression of nowhere to go, they all held back a bad smile one by one, and said in their hearts that the master is worthy of the master, and he and the others are fart and urine in front of this surnamed Zhang, but in front of the master, didn't this guy touch a nose of ash?
"Master Ma, don't be too complacent!"
Zhang Ran looked at everyone's expressions, and said stupidly: "Our mountains don't turn around, your Ma family must not fall into my hands Zhang Ran......"
"Captain Zhang, look at what you said, it doesn't look like an eight-way, but like a bandit......"
Ma Chengbang actually seized the opportunity to teach Zhang Ran a lesson.
When Zhang Ran heard this, he almost vomited blood, but he could only grit his teeth and let everyone go on the road - if he continued, people would really rely on themselves and the bandits all the way, then he would be speechless!
"Captain Zhang, walk slowly, come and play often when you have time!"
Ma Youtian Xiao Mazi's people laughed and screamed, and they were proud.
At this moment, Li Dakou and a few other long-term workers came over with a few baskets of eggs, nodded to Zhang Ran and others, and then said to Ma Chengbang: "Master, we bought the eggs you wanted......
"Go back to the yard!"
Ma Chengbang, who was in a good mood, said: "Don't be busy after packing up, come back after eating!" ”
"Hey, thank you, sir!"
Hearing this, Li Dakou and several other long-term workers were overjoyed, after all, they used to work, and they ate and drank by themselves in addition to their wages, and now they not only have wages but also eat a meal for nothing, how can they be unhappy?
Zhang Ran, who had already walked a few steps, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned around and said loudly: "Slow!" ”
"Captain Zhang, what else do you command?"
Ma Chengbang said with a smile, which was annoying proudly.
Zhang Ran smiled strangely: "Coincidentally, our Jindong detachment happens to be in urgent need of a batch of eggs, I didn't expect that there are so many in Master Ma's house, it really solves the urgent need of my Jindong detachment......"
Ma Chengbang immediately couldn't laugh, and said hurriedly: "Captain Zhang, I can't give you this egg, I have an urgent ...... for this egg."
"Don't talk about Master Ma!"
Zhang Ran was not interested in knowing what this batch of eggs was for, so he interrupted directly: "You are in a hurry, can you rush over the military affairs of our Jindong detachment?" If it is because you refuse to give eggs and delay the military situation, can you Ma Chengbang afford it? ”
Ma Chengbang stomped his feet in his heart and said with a dry smile: "Captain Zhang, these eggs really can't be given to you, you can't learn from that bandit and rob them, right?" ”
Old fox, leaning on the bandits again?
Zhang Ran sneered, and directly gave Wang Shuanggui and Wang Wenping a look.
The three of them immediately rushed over, and the muzzle of the gun seemed to be aimed at Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and others, where did a few people dare to block? Wang Changtian, Lu Yan and other ordinary people finally got smart, and snatched a few baskets of eggs in three times.
"Captain Zhang, Captain Zhang, you can't do this, you are really robbing it......" Ma Chengbang jumped to his feet anxiously.
"Master Ma, I don't like to hear what you say!"
Zhang Ran snorted coldly and said: "It's really because the military urgently needs a batch of eggs, it just so happens that Master Ma, you have a ready-made one here, this time it's considered Master Ma, you help us with the Eighth Route Army to buy it again - it's not that you don't give you money, how can you call it robbery?" ”
Hearing the money, Ma Chengbang's face looked a little better and said: "These eggs are a total of twenty-five oceans, and the wages of the long-term workers are something, I won't worry about you Captain Zhang......"
Then he waited for Zhang Ran to give the money.
"Village Chief Wang, bring the pen and paper!"
Zhang Ran called Wang Changtian over and said: "Write an IOU to Master Ma, just say that my Jindong detachment borrowed 800 eggs from Master Ma today, a total of 28 oceans - Master Ma, I count the salary, our Eighth Route Army, if you don't take a stitch from the masses, you don't take a stitch from the masses, Master Ma, although you are a landlord, you are barely a member of the masses, this is cheap, our Eighth Route Army will never take your ......"
"Captain Zhang, Captain Zhang, this can't be done......"
Where does Ma Chengbang care about the salary now, and said with a white face: "You don't have no money, how can you use an IOU to offset the account?" ”
"Our detachment is a two-line revenue and expenditure, the ocean you handed over to me just now, that is the detachment's money, I must get the consent of the detachment before I can use it, otherwise it will be corruption!"
Zhang Ran snorted coldly: "Master Ma, you asked me to give you money now, are you forcing me Zhang Ran to make mistakes?" ”
Ma Chengbang cried and said: "That can't be, but ......"
"But what, it's nothing, will Master Ma sabotage the patriotic military operation of our Eighth Route Army for the sake of such a few eggs-you are not such a person......"
Zhang Ran laughed and said: "Our Eighth Route Army will never repay the debt, Master Ma, you wait a few days, wait for me to go back and apply, the organization is passed, the funds are coming, Master Ma, you come to me to get the money - I promise, not a cent will be missing your ......"
