put down the water to look for people, and found all the way to the entrance of Zhaotang Village, and found that all the people in the village were shouted back.

"Your Green Pavilion Village is reversed, isn't it?! The grain chief is in charge of the grain for the four villages, and the three villages next to him are not making trouble, so you Luting Village is more than people! ”

The men of the Zhao family were all strong and strong, and the thin people of Luting Village couldn't resist at all, and they were also said to be rebels.

"Your Zhao family don't deceive people too much! Relying on men to bully people! I think Zhao Gong is ...... grain."

"Nonsense?! Don't come tomorrow to get porridge! ”

"You dare?! Why?! That's the food that the county lord gave to the big guys! ”

"Why? It's up to you to be here today! ”

You and I said a word, two groups of people rushed up again, Wei Ming saw a thin figure hiding in the rotten reeds by the pond, the fluffy yellow hair tugging between the reeds and sticks was not obtrusive at all.

Wei Ming bypassed the crowd and grabbed her in his hands, she hurriedly pulled him to squat, "Silly Muzi, squat down, let's eat melons, don't be beaten!" ”

Wei Ming looked left and right, "Where did the melon come from?" ”

Cui Zhi made a look of holding a big melon in his hand, and smashed it in his mouth, "Eating melons and looking lively, isn't it perfect?" You remember, eating melons means watching others lively, understand? ”

Wei Ming didn't seem to understand, I didn't know where so many strange words came from her head.

He asked her, "Then you came here just to eat melons?" ”

"Of course not!" She raised two thin eyebrows, "I'm here for food!" Half a bowl of gruel a day, I'm starving to death! ”

"Food is coming?"

"Nope!" She snorted and looked around to see people fighting, "There are really many men in the Zhao family, and they are all waiting at the door, and the people in our village were kicked out before they even entered the door......

"Stop! Stop! The lieutenant is here! ”

Cui Zhi's words were interrupted, and on the way to Tixi Village, several people lined up around the old man in the car and rushed straight to this side.

After more than 30 years, Wei Ming has no impression of this old chief, but Cui Zhi asked him next to him, what is the chief and what is the relationship with the grain chief.

He was surprised that Cui Zhi asked this, but he still explained: "One hundred and ten households are one mile, and the chief is in charge of the money and grain affairs in this mile, but the grain is in charge of the grain. Regardless of whether it is the chief of the house or the chief of the grain, it is necessary to find out the family with a solid foundation and a prosperous family, and choose it once every ten years. [1]”

"Village cadres!" Cui Zhi showed a sudden look, and suddenly asked, "What you said is like a person who has read books, have you read books before?" ”

Wei Ming thought to himself that he had not only read books, but also been admitted all the way up from Xiucai to Jinshi, and he had read more books than the little girl had eaten more salt.

"I studied social studies for two years before the famine."

She let out a long "oh" and said "very good", and turned her attention to the inner chief.

As soon as he arrived, all the people in Luting Village tore apart from the Zhao family and took a step back, but there were still some young people in the Zhao family who were unrelenting, scolding and pushing non-stop.

"Let's all take a step back and don't make trouble!" Li Chang stood up and walked between the two sides.

"It's just right that the chief is here, your old man will give a comment! Zhao Gong's family is in charge of food, and we don't have anything to say, but their family steals food! Someone in our village saw his family smuggling grain out at night! ”

It was Guo Tianda from Luting Village who spoke, but it happened to be the neighbor of the Wei family across a vegetable garden.

When he said this, the Zhao family was unwilling, "What's wrong with transporting grain?" Can't transport your own food? It's the people of your village, what are you running around in the middle of the night?! ”

"Who knows if you're transporting your own food or your public's grain?!"

"Hey! Then you know whose food it is?! ”

It's really unclear about this, and the two sides quarreled again.

In the reeds, Wei Ming heard Cui Zhi muttering, "There is no evidence, it is useless to say that the sky is broken." ”

Wei Ming raised his eyebrows, "Do you still know the evidence?" ”

Cui Zhi grinned, "I know a lot!" I'll just tell you these things, don't tell anyone else! ”

The people of the two villages were still arguing, Wei Ming listened to her words and his heart moved, "Why?" ”

"Because you're only ten years old, the age of a primary school student, no one will believe what you say, otherwise I'll be treated as an outlier and what if I'm arrested?"

This made Wei Ming's heart skip a beat, and the quarrels, fights, persuasions, and fights on the side were in a mess, and he didn't care at all, "Why are you different?" ”

Cui Zhi suddenly turned around and grinned at him, "Because I'm 26 years old!" Believe it or not?! ”

Wei Ming chuckled in his heart—believe!

He was about to ask further when the lieutenant interrupted everyone with a trembling shout, "Shut up!" ”

"The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, but I can't say it clearly! It's useless to argue, it's useless to fight, this matter has been revealed! All the people in Luting Village go back, don't make any more noise! ”

As soon as the words fell, the people in Luting Village showed unconvinced expressions, and the Zhao family raised their eyebrows and shook their heads, very proud.

It's just that the old lieutenant opened his mouth again, "The Zhao family went back to tell Zhao Gong for me, the grain belongs to the public, and it is illegal to disturb it!" My old man advised him to send the grain to the families as soon as possible! ”

After speaking, regardless of the surprise of the Zhao family's jujube core, he turned his head and left.

The lieutenant chief left here, and the people of Luting Village stopped making trouble, and they snorted a few mouthfuls towards the feet of the Zhao family, and left.

The Zhao family was so angry that they scolded Luting Village, and they didn't forget to take the lieutenant chief with them, "Let this old man be horizontal for another year, and next year's round election, our Zhao family will become the lieutenant chief, look at him and don't he'll be stunned!" ”

The scolding gradually drifted away, Cui Zhi smashed his mouth and watched it with relish.

It seems that the difference between the ancient countryside and the rural areas of later generations is not very big, and whoever has money and Ding occupies the top of the power, and if they hold the right, they are superior to others.

She used to follow her master to the countryside to collect style, and she had seen it, but now she has to experience it herself, but she must see the situation clearly before acting.

Cui Zhi was about to stand up, but Wei Ming grabbed his wrist, and only listened to him: "You haven't finished what you said just now." ”

Cui Zhi had to forget, "What did I say?" The 26-year-old one? ”

Seeing Wei Ming nodding seriously and seriously, she laughed, and was about to say something, when she saw two people walking over in the distance.

Old Mrs. Zhu and her little grandson Dongcai!

Cui Zhi's mind moved, and he immediately squatted back again, and pulled the reed to block the front, "Shhhh ”

This time, Lao Zhu Po and Dongcai didn't seem to be in a hurry, but they didn't walk slowly, they kept looking back and forth, left and right, and after a while, they walked to the place where Cui Zhi and Wei Ming were hiding.

"Hurry, hurry up! Don't let anyone see it! ”

See what?

Cui Zhi looked at the two of them fixedly, and saw that the old Zhu Po seemed to be carrying something in her arms, covering it tightly, afraid of being seen.

Cui Zhi was puzzled, and the little grandson of Old Zhu Po, Dongcai, suddenly pulled Old Zhu Po, "Mother, two grains of rice have been dropped!" ”

Rice?!

Cui Zhi understood most of it.

No wonder the villagers went to Zhao's house, and the men of the Zhao family all pulled up their postures at the door and waited, it turned out that the key was here!

Guo heard the old Zhu Po say: "Pick it up!" The Zhao family, which is rotten, gives less than once! Bah! ”

Dongcai heard her scolding and asked, "Then will you go to his house next time to report the news?" ”

"Be quiet!"

Old Zhu Po hurriedly twisted her head and looked around, seeing that there was no one, she hurriedly said, "Report!" Why don't you report it?! Let's get the rice first! Wait until you get almost it, and then follow those people to grab food, and you will get both! Can't just let the Zhao family take advantage of the benefits! ”

The mother-in-law and grandson picked up the rice while they were talking.

Cui Zhi watched Lao Zhu Po and Dongcai go away all the way, thinking carefully, and when he turned his head, he was startled by Wei Ming's inquiring eyes.

"Silly Muzi, why are you staring at me? We have to think about getting the food in our hands now, we should keep an eye on this old Zhu Po! ”
