After the higher-level leaders left, Dai Yue immediately sent a message in the work group, summoning all the cadres and party members in the village to hold a meeting at the brigade headquarters the day after tomorrow, and no one was allowed to be absent.

Several cadres and party members secretly discussed in private, could it be that the higher-level leaders checked that there was something serious, so Dai Yue suddenly notified the meeting?

But most of them don't care, it's just a rural village, how much can it do? It's really not going to work, so let's stop it. In the case of such a rural area where clans live together, if it were not for the leadership of a person with a head and face within the clan, outsiders would not be able to call the peasant households at all.

On the way to the team headquarters for a meeting, He Yuanwu met Fu Lichun, the leader of the fourth group: "Lao Fu, you were present during the inspection in the town before, you should have heard a little sound, why did Director Dai suddenly call a meeting?" ”

Fu Lichun shook his head: "The final work summary and report was carried out by Director Dai alone, and I didn't get any news. ”

After walking a few steps, He Yuanwu asked again: "I heard that your son will be ten years old soon?" What day? ”

"It's just this Saturday and Sunday, and it's a lot of people on the rest day." Fu Lichun took out a cigarette and handed it to He Yuanwu: "Even if I notify you, I will definitely come when the time comes." ”

He Yuanwu took the cigarette: "Your old Fu family hasn't had a happy event for many years, of course I have to go." ”

As he was talking, someone called out behind him: "Director He, Team Leader Fu, wait for me." ”

The two turned around, but saw the women's director Yan Hong panting and catching up.

Fu Lichun begged for pleasure in his mouth: "What are you doing, I don't know how much I think you like me, this is like chasing." ”

Yan Hong gasped over and patted Fu Lichun on the back: "You don't pee and take photos, can the old lady take a fancy to you?" After a pause, she asked again: "Why did Director Dai suddenly notify the meeting?" It won't be because we were not there when the leader inspected it the day before yesterday, so we want to criticize it. ”

He Yuanwu looked behind Yan Hong: "Isn't your family in a group?" Why did you follow Lao Fu? I just said that I couldn't look down on him, what's the matter, show me? ”

Yan Hong glanced at He Yuanwu, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, my nephew was five years old yesterday and has been eating and drinking at his mother's house." ”

He Yuanwu laughed: "Won't it hurt Daben this time?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it," Yan Hong sighed: "Half a year's salary is gone." ”

Fu Lichun was slightly surprised: "Do you have such a big relationship?" ”

Yan Hong let out a long breath and shook her head, but did not make a sound.

In the conference room of the brigade headquarters, the cadres and party members who participated in the meeting were almost there, because they had not yet arrived, so they got together to chat.

At 8:55, Dai Yue appeared in the conference room, and most of the people immediately sat and waited for the meeting to begin.

Dai Yue glanced at everyone: "Everyone knows that I am a person who doesn't like red tape, let's start now." ”

The scene was immediately silent, Dai Yue continued: "First of all, I would like to inform the results of the inspection of the superior leaders, generally speaking, the superiors are relatively satisfied with our work this year, but there are two points, first, the preferential policies for the second child should be publicized in place; Second, the Spring Festival is coming, and our ban on mahjong should be strengthened to prevent the resurgence of mahjong with gambling properties in this village. These two things need to be studied by Director Yan and Director He. ”

After speaking, Dai Yue paused for a while, and the participants all looked at him lightly, waiting for the next topic.

Dai Yue cleared his throat: "The next thing is closely related to everyone, I would like to ask you to share your views on various banquets in the second half of the year." After a pause, he raised his voice: "Everyone can speak freely, say whatever they want, it's just a personal opinion, there is no right or wrong." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Tongxin, an old party member in the village, couldn't wait to get up and said: "If you want me to say, what kind of five-year-old banquet, Shangliang banquet, these messes are labor and money, and the owner of the wedding banquet just wants other people's money." ”

Yan Youcheng, another old party member on the side, laughed: "You old ghost children have a family in a big city, and you don't have any happy events, and you can't get in and out of gift money, of course you think it's a waste of money." ”

Liu Tongxin's eyes widened: "Fart, when my doll didn't move to the city, I didn't have any happy events." ”

Yan Youcheng continued: "At that time, it was not popular to be five or ten years old, of course you didn't do it, but didn't your son get married in the village and set up more than 80 tables?" ”

Liu Tongxin seemed to be angry, and shouted: "Can marriage be compared to five or ten years old?" Didn't my grandson do five or ten years old? ”

Yan Youcheng disagreed: "Your grandson ran a full moon wine, and later entered the city, how can he be five or ten years old?" ”

"You, you," Liu Tongxin pointed at Yan Youcheng, so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he turned around and sat down heavily.

Dai Yue pressed his hand: "The two masters must not contradict each other, let's just express our views on matters today, everyone has their own opinions, just like you like to eat salty, I like to eat sweet, there is no distinction between noble and lowly and right and wrong." ”

Yan Youcheng turned around and said loudly: "Actually, I also think that these messy banquets waste manpower, material and financial resources, and they are really unnecessary. ”

Liu Tongxin got up again: "You old dog, since you have the same opinion as me, why are you arguing with me?" ”

Yan Youcheng laughed: "I just want to fight with you, how about it, do you want to fight?" ”

Liu Tongxin pouted: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

Dai Yue likes this kind of atmosphere, these old party members seem to be loud, but they are very open. Yan Youcheng's words seem to be a bit crooked, but they actually break some things.

Take Dai Yue himself, his home is not in Liuji Village, and he has no personal relations with the villagers of Liuji Village, and the prohibition of those banquets with clever names will not harm his interests, and the masses will definitely question it.

The prohibition of banquets and the prohibition of mahjong are different in nature, and most of the mahjong played by the villagers is of a gambling nature, which is illegal and can be forcibly intervened. But the banquet is not illegal or violates public morality, it can only rely on everyone's consciousness.

After the two old party members spoke, there was silence at the scene, and no one spoke again, Dai Yue glanced around and said: "Just now the two old party members expressed their opinions, are there any younger party members who expressed their opinions?" ”

After being silent for a while, Fu Lichun, the leader of the four groups, got up hesitantly: "Director Dai, what do you think of these banquets?" ”

He Yuanwu on the side muttered: "Are you a fool, the leader of the things that has been going on suddenly came out to discuss, that is, he is not optimistic about this matter." ”

Originally, I wanted to leave it to everyone to discuss and see the situation, Fu Lichun suddenly asked, Dai Yue was still thinking about what language to answer satisfactorily, Fu Lichun, who was provoked by He Yuanwu's muttering, continued: "Although there are some things that we are not used to, but these are many years of tradition, and we are not good at commenting on the good and bad of these things, we can only say that everyone does this, and we have to follow suit." ”

Yan Hong, the women's director, also spoke: "Although these banquets are inevitably wasteful, we must also see the positive side. I'll give you an example, yesterday my nephew was five years old, and the eldest sister in the family has been doing business abroad and has not come home, this time I can take advantage of my nephew to be a five-year-old and go home to reunite with my family, so the banquet still plays a role in maintaining family affection. ”

Yan Youcheng behind him sneered and got up: "One of your sons will be ten years old, and the other husband will be forty years old soon, of course you think it's a good thing to have a banquet." ”

Liu Tongxin followed and got up: "Although I have always opposed Yan Laogou, this time I agree with his opinion. ”

Fu Lichun turned around and argued: "You only saw my son be ten years old soon, but have you ever thought that the last time my family set up a banquet was when my son was full moon, and it has been ten years, how much gift money have I given out in the past ten years?" We are all from the village, and the relatives and six relatives of each family are basically the same, you say it yourself, an average of 5,000 a year, don't say much, ten years is 50,000, plus the wedding and funeral of your closest relatives, ten years and 100,000 don't say much. ”

"That's it," Yan Hong echoed: "My husband and I also think it's ugly to be forty years old, but if you don't do it, you can't do it, the last time the family held a banquet was the old woman's funeral, and it's been seven or eight years." I grew up watching two uncles and uncles, how many people are in the Liu family and how many people in the Yan family, and the two of them have the bottom in their hearts, how much money do they have to go out with them in a year? How much is it in total for seven or eight years? ”

Liu Tongxin waved his hand: "So we should cancel those banquets that don't know the so-called, and from tomorrow onwards, no one will set them up, in the words that are popular now, to avoid hurting each other." ”

"Hmm," Yan Youcheng's head shook like a rattle, "If the banquet is canceled from tomorrow, won't those who put the banquet in their heads take advantage?" ”

Liu Tongxin said: "Do things, there are always people who pay, and there are always people who lose, so if you continue to do anything, you can't do anything." ”

Yan Youcheng smiled: "So I said that you Liu Laogou is shrewd, and you don't have a banquet at home, so you don't let others put it?" ”

Liu Tongxin was so agitated that his muscles burst out: "Old Yan dog, do you have to go against me?" ”

Yan Youcheng didn't care: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

"Damn," Liu Tongxin found Yan Youcheng in front of him: "Although my own children are in the city, I still have children and nephews in the village." Today, in front of everyone, I will say this, who of my close relatives within three generations of Liu Tongxin dare to put on a banquet at the age of five or forty, I will be the first to smash his wedding shed. ”

"Yo yo yo," Yan Youcheng laughed, "I'm really angry." ”

Liu Tongxin drank: "Lao Tzu has been hard all his life, how can you be like an old dog, you will be like a thin mud for the rest of your life." ”

Yan Youcheng was also provoked to stand up: "Do you think that's all you can?" I, Yan Youcheng, am also here in front of everyone to assure that I have a family member who dares to set up a banquet within three generations and I have lifted his stove. ”

"Oh, yes," Yan Youcheng then bared his teeth again: "No, no, no, you can't say that." ”

Liu Tongxin grabbed his shoulder: "Do you want to regret it?" ”

Yan Youcheng had a bitter face: "My nephew Laba is getting married, I can't stop him from getting married." ”

Dai Yue turned a corner: "The three major events in life, the full moon at birth, marriage when adulthood, and the funeral after death, this is not a coincidental banquet, but it can also limit the banquet specifications." ”

"Yes, yes," Yan Youcheng said, "weddings, funerals, and full moons are legitimate, and nothing else is allowed." ”
