In the afternoon of the next day, Qin Zhongliang came home from work and saw Cui Liangjin, the deputy secretary of the brigade, pacing back and forth in front of the door, probably waiting too long and being a little impatient. Qin Zhongliang hurriedly opened the door, gave up his seat, poured tea, and said, "...... Secretary Cui's intention?" ”

"I don't say it, you can also guess that eight to nine is not far from ten, or the old routine after the afternoon harvest - the matter of paying public grain. Your team has arranged for the early opening of the sickle, and added machinery, and the speed of harvesting and pulling is really fast! Removing the rainy days, it took only a little more than ten days to complete the noon harvest, and the loss was reduced to a minimum, the arrangement is really scientific and can not be more scientific, tense and orderly, even I sigh to myself! Cui Liangjin put down the tea bowl, cocked his thumb and praised, "When I was choosing you to be the captain, from the time I heard the words you said, I believed that you would be able to lead the poor middle peasants of Daqinzhuang in the future, and rely on them to fight a good battle, and throw the hat of poverty to the Pacific Ocean and throw it out of the clouds!" As it turned out, I was right and far-sighted at the time. Of course, idealism and idealism are incorrect, and whoever has foresight is also a blind cat touching a dead mouse - coincidence. ”

"Deputy Secretary Cui, are you here to inform me to pay the public grain, or are you a blind cat and I am a dead mouse?" Qin Zhongliang had no good impression of this wine and meat friend who had followed the former secretary Zhang Ba left and right, and called Qin Dahai a brother and brother, and today he heard his unobtrusive flattery and rambling high-minded talk, and felt uncomfortable, and even thought of goosebumps, and said, "I want to do everything possible to do the public grain matter, that is, all the members of the club eat raw sprouts, leave no seeds, and leave no collective reserves, I will also complete it, and I will never let you down!" ”

Cui Liangjin said it just now, and he knew that his last sentence was extremely incorrect and inappropriate, and he was about to correct it, but he was interrupted by Qin Zhongliang. He couldn't blame a production team leader for his questioning, and said: "What I just said is that foresight depends on careful observation and correct judgment of things and people, and it is by no means an accident, once in a thousand years, once in ten thousand years, and once in ten thousand years like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse or a rabbit crashing to death on a tree stump." I beg your pardon for my inappropriate words. Now let's not talk about anything else, but I will remember your achievements in my heart, but I will only say that the most important, most urgent, and urgent thing to do at present is how to do everything possible and every possible means to accomplish the task of paying public grain from the central government to the province, from the province to the region, from the region to the county, from the county to the commune, from the commune to the brigade, and from the brigade to the production team. Of course, I came today to inform you on behalf of the two committees of the organization and the brigade that you have attended the meeting attended by the production captain of the whole brigade today and tomorrow, to discuss and decide on the indicators and figures of the public grain payable by each production team, and to complete it within a time limit, the sooner the better, and if the task is overfulfilled, the conference meeting can be praised, and I have made a glorious flower, ready to wear it for the captain of the most advanced production team; Those who are backward should accept everyone's criticism and conduct examinations, which is to combine criticism and self-criticism to cure diseases and save people. If he is still stubborn to the end and insists on his mistakes to the end, our two committees will never be merciful, and those who should be withdrawn and replaced, replaced by people like you, who are conscious and capable, who can lead the poor middle peasant members to change their old appearance and make greater contributions to the construction of a new socialist countryside will follow the cadres of our brigade to create new, bigger and more brilliant brilliance! Deputy Secretary Cui's verbal notice finally stopped, he stood up, held Qin Zhongliang's hand with both hands and said: "The only thing I came here today is to let you go to the brigade tomorrow to attend the meeting of the production captain and arrange the payment of public grain, and I don't want to talk about other things." I'm a person, you know the truth, you speak and do things in a simple and clear way, straightforward, and your personality is the same as yours, no different. Look, I've been influencing your family to cook, and I'm still not ready to cook. Don't send it, don't keep it, your own people are polite! ”

He said as he walked out the door.

"You go slowly, Deputy Secretary Cui." Qin Zhongliang was full of heart and now there was only one word - "annoying", but he felt very funny, and said to Deputy Secretary Cui, who had gone away, "Then the matter of paying public grain at all levels, should I go down to each household, and then from each household to everyone?" ”

"No more orders! You just need to know the way! Deputy Secretary Cui's voice was transmitted from the sky to Qin Zhongliang's ears at a speed of three hundred and forty meters per second, to the ears of Wang's sister-in-law, and to the place where the sound waves had not disappeared.

"What people! Speak without bounds! Sister-in-law Wang was listening outside, she was already annoyed, and she waited for the person who notified her to leave before entering the house.

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. There are such people! Qin Zhongliang said to his sister-in-law, "Hurry up and cook, when is it?" ”

"You guys in this kitchen, one sends notices, the other receives notices, if you can't say anything, how can I come in and cook?" Sister-in-law Wang said, "If I were you, I would have kicked him out!" It's so long-winded! ”

"I can't just see anyone come to our house! Besides, people are here to inform me of the meeting? Qin Zhongliang said Sister-in-law.

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the brigade office to attend the captain's meeting, isn't it over? It's easy! Sister-in-law Wang rolled out the noodles and said, "He blows you and praises you, what do you want to do?" ”

"He is a person, he can say good things to whoever he can use, he doesn't need anyone, or whoever makes a mistake and steps down, he is exposing and criticizing, and he can turn around quickly." Qin Zhongliang lit a fire under the stove and said, "When Zhang Ba was a secretary before, he was more obedient and filial than his son, but after Zhang Ba's problem was found out, he fought back, became a great hero, and became the deputy secretary." ”

"Guard. I see him weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens - not well-hearted, cats crying rats - fake mercy! Sister-in-law Wang said as she put noodles in the pot.

"The foot is not afraid of crooked shoes. I didn't do anything bad, I didn't make any mistakes, what could I prevent? Suspicious! Qin Zhongliang stood up from behind the stove and patted the ash on his body and said.

"We don't want to hurt people's hearts and pit people's hearts, and we can't do without the heart of preventing people! Did Yue Fei do something bad? Single-mindedly trying to defeat the Jin soldiers and keep the country, what happened to them? Isn't it still the dog emperor who listened to the words of the villain Qin Hui and died! Sister-in-law Wang put the noodle bowl in place and handed it to her husband, "Eat!" ”

"It's good to have a clear conscience." Qin Zhongliang took the job.

The family eats, washes and rests.
