Chapter 48: A Tricky Question

"Attention chicken farmers in Xiaoquanzi Village, please pay attention to chicken farmers in Xiaoquanzi Village!"

Qiao Xi's voice came out of the loudspeaker in the village, "In view of the fact that the chickens in our village are infected with acute chicken plague to prevent the chicken plague from spreading to other villages, I hope that everyone can collectively send the sick and dead chickens and the chickens that are still in the onset period to the road in front of the neighborhood committee according to the requirements of the veterinary station, and wait for the comrades of the veterinary station to collectively transport them away." ”

There was a pause in her voice, as if she was explaining loudly with all her strength: "Folks, when I say chickens that are still in the sick stage, I mean chickens that have not yet died of illness at home, which means that you have to send all the chickens in the house...... They have been infected with chicken plague, alive, and they won't live long! ”

Qiao Xi's own eyes were already red, her voice trembled, and she worked hard to calm down her emotions.

The people have worked hard for so long, and they are all lost, she feels the same way, and her heart is torn apart.

As the radio was released, the whole village was shocked.

"What was Secretary Qiao talking about just now? Give away the chickens that didn't die? ”

"It seems to mean this, saying that our chickens are infected with chicken plague, and if we don't take it away and dispose of it quickly, it will spread the chicken plague to other villages."

Xiao Bao's mother jumped out of the crowd and shouted at the top of her voice: "Fart, have my chickens died so much, there are only so many good ones left, they are all pulled away like dead chickens, who will give me the money I lost?" ”

"Yes, why listen to her, we usually save money, we are not even willing to eat eggs, even if these chickens are eaten at home, they will not be given out!"

They all shouted, and they didn't know who started it, but groups of people came towards the neighborhood committee.

Qiao Xi finished broadcasting and walked out of the neighborhood committee, only to see a large number of villagers walking on the road in front of him, and quickly blocked the door of the neighborhood committee.

Qiao Xi stared at these people, she could see the anger in their eyes, and she didn't feel it in her heart, she was silent, and smiled as hard as she could: "Is there something wrong with the big guy?" ”

"Qiao Xi, what did you just say on the radio?" Xiaobao's mother pinched her waist and shouted: "Let our family take out all the dead and non-dead chickens, and let the veterinarian station take them away and dispose of them?" Why is your heart so bad? Dare not pull your chickens away? You don't feel distressed, I feel distressed! ”

Her words were like igniting an explosion barrel, and everyone blamed Qiao Xi indignantly, and the more they talked, the more angry they became, and even began to accuse Qiao Xi of letting them raise chickens in the first place.

"Qiao Xi, is it right for you to say this in your own conscience? At the beginning, we didn't want to raise chickens, but you persuaded us to raise chickens one by one. Now that something happened to the chickens, you quickly persuaded us to send the chickens to be dealt with, do you still have a conscience! ”

“……”

In the face of everyone's accusations, Qiao Xi stood quietly on the steps, without half a complaint, her heart was bitter, and she listened quietly.

Seeing that the crowd was almost scolding, she sighed lightly, "Are you finished?" ”

Everyone was glaring at her, and they didn't even say too much to her.

Qiao Xi nodded to everyone, silently walked into the neighborhood committee, reopened the loudspeaker of the village committee, and said loudly inside: "All the party members of Xiaoquanzi Village, immediately gather at the neighborhood committee." ”

Although she didn't refute everyone, and let everyone vent their temper in their hearts, there were still some things to do, and the chickens in the village still had to be pulled out and destroyed.

Soon party members rushed over, and some squeezed out of the crowd, they themselves had chickens at home, and they also had incomprehension and resentment towards Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi was a cadre stationed in the village, and as party members, they had to obey orders.

Zhang Shouye, Chen Feng and Qian Xifeng also rushed over, they were picking up dead chickens on the mountain just now, and they all came without the slightest delay when they heard Qiao Xi's broadcast.

All party members must obey the leadership of the village secretary, and Qiao Xi's voice represents the voice of the party.

All the party members stood in front of the crowd, Qiao Xi walked down the steps of the neighborhood committee, looked at the crowd, and said in a resolute voice, "Now I ask every party member to do the work of each chicken farmer, send all the chickens at home, and the veterinarian station car will come in a while, and the collective will be pulled away and destroyed!" ”

The crowd behind him suddenly exploded, "If you want to take away our chickens, it's useless for anyone to come!" ”

"Yes, no one wants to do this, let alone the one surnamed Qiao!"

Zhang Shouye turned his head and scolded everyone: "Do you want to rebel? Do you think Secretary Qiao wants to do this? There is such a big thing in Xiaoquanzi Village, she is the first person responsible, and she will be questioned by the town! Give me the fuck to go back and send the chickens out, don't make a big deal, if the chicken plague spreads to other villages, none of you can eat and walk around? ”

"The old village chief can't say that!" Xiao Bao's mother stiffened her neck and shouted in the crowd: "I listen to you for other things, but my chickens are not dead yet, why should I take them away?" ”

She represents the thoughts of most people, and everyone shouted, and the angry Zhang Shouye took off his shoes and was about to beat Xiaobao's mother.

Qiao Xi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and whispered: "Old village chief, this matter is too sudden, it's normal for everyone to not understand, you and Sister Qian and Chen Feng do more work for everyone, don't worry." ”

Zhang Shouye sighed, and Chen Feng and Qian Xifeng went to the crowd to explain to everyone.

But after saying a few words, everyone left in an uproar, and no one wanted to listen to it. Some of them ran to the mountains and snatched the free-range chickens from the top of their homes. There are also some laying hens, so they have to hurry home and close the door to prevent others from coming to grab the chickens they have worked so hard to raise.

Qiao Xi shook his head helplessly and walked in front of these party members, "Did everyone understand what I just said?" In this way, everyone is in charge of the chicken farmers around their house, and each family goes to work and delivers all their chickens here. ”

Some party members were unhappy at first, "Secretary Qiao, this thing is too difficult to do, I can't do it." I can give away my own chickens, but I don't have the ability to do this, this is to be scolded! ”

Qiao Xi also understood everyone's distress, and thought about it: "You just need to help me knock on the door, and I will go in and tell everyone by myself, just help me when I need you." ”

The party members hesitated, but finally nodded in agreement.

Qiao Xi looked at Zhang Shouye, "Old village chief, you and I will act separately, try to get everyone through today, and send all the chickens in the village out to be disposed of." ”

"Good!" Zhang Shouye nodded vigorously, motioned for Chen Feng to follow him, and pushed a small iron cart at home on the way, ready to load chickens for a while.

"Sister Qian, you go and meet with the comrades at the veterinarian station first, and when the car they arranged comes to the village, you do a good job of recording and make a record of the chickens sent out by each family." Qiao Xi said to Qian Xifeng.

Qian Xifeng agreed, pedaled on the bicycle and ran to the mountain, and the people at the veterinary station were still checking the symptoms of sick and dead chickens on the mountain, preparing to issue a notice to the villages of the town to prevent chicken plague.

Qiao Xi arranged everything in an orderly manner, and led many party members to go to a chicken farmer.

There was a forty-year-old party member who patted on a closed wooden door, "Second aunt, are you at home?" I'm a mountain, open the door! ”

They just knocked on the door, and as for the next work, they handed it over to Qiao Xi, they couldn't wipe that face and let the family send all the chickens out of the house.

An old woman who was almost sixty years old staggered open the door, "Dashan, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Auntie, I'm looking for you." Qiao Xi nodded with a smile, seeing that the old woman was panicked and wanted to close the door again, she stepped forward quickly and put an arm into the door.

The door slammed shut, clamping Qiao Xi's arm.

The old woman was frightened, so she hurriedly opened the door and looked at Qiao Xi complainingly, "Secretary Qiao, why are you so troubled, let's see if there is anything wrong with your arm?" ”

Qiao Xi always maintained the most sincere smile and waved her hand, "Auntie, I have nothing to do, I want to go in and see your chickens, okay?" ”

The old woman let out a long sigh, stopped closing the door, shook her head and staggered out into the courtyard.

Qiao Xi took a woven bag from the small cart outside and walked into the house.

The old woman's wife died a few years ago, and her children were not around, and she was the only one in the family.

There was a simple chicken coop in the corner of the yard, and some of the dead chickens had been piled up outside the chicken coop by the old woman, and there were still twenty or thirty chickens in it, some of which were still running around, but most of them had already begun to get sick, lying on the ground with their heads drooping, their two wings tightly clasping their bodies, and shaking a few times from time to time.

The old woman clumsily opened the door of the coop and cooed to the running chickens, and a white feathered chicken clucked to her feet.

The old woman squatted on the ground tremblingly, and held the chicken in her arms, her cloudy eyes filled with pity, and her rough palms gently caressed the chicken in her arms.

"Obedient, you're about to leave, grandma has a bad leg, so I won't send you......"

She has lived alone for so many years, and treats them as fresh lives and companions!
