Chapter 137: Duplicity
Not all of the dozen or so people who came later represented a household, some were sons accompanying Lao Tzu, some younger brothers accompanied their elder brothers, and two brothers-in-law accompanied their respective brothers-in-law. If you put it all together, it's actually three or four households. But so many people together, the momentum is bigger, just walking together on the dirt road in the village when raising a thin layer of smoke and dust is very eye-catching, at this time to see the "old nine" secretary come out, they immediately stopped outside the gate of the compound, and soon attracted a lot of attention.
"What's wrong with everyone?" "Lao Jiu" asked loudly and walked towards the gate of the compound, and the five or six people who came before followed him when they saw this. The dozen or so people were supposed to make noise in front of the door to lure the secretary out, but now that the secretary has come over, they don't know what to do.
"You're here to hand this in too?" "Lao Jiu" walked up to this large group of people, held up the dozen or so draft sheets he had just received, and asked, "Do you also fill in the area of 0?" β
"Oh, it's not good, Lao Jiu taught them to surround them!" The village chief, who received Liu Yuyong's report, rushed to the courtyard to take a look, and couldn't help but cry out in a low voice. At this moment, "Lao Jiu" faced more than a dozen people in front of him, followed by five or six people, they hugged him in the middle, at first glance, it is indeed easy to think that the secretary of the village party committee was surrounded by the villagers, if Azhe Liu Hui is here, I am afraid that in less than two hours, there will be a deaf and deafening social news born.
"Village chief, what are you talking about?" Liu Yuyong, who was beside the old village chief, asked. "Aren't you as young as I am? Look, this group of people surrounded Lao Jiu, not good, not good! "This ...... Is this so? I watched, they didn't speak......" "Silly boy, your father-in-law has surrounded more than 20 people, and you are still here in a daze." Why don't you go back and call a few people out? Let's go! Otherwise, Lao Jiu will suffer. Liu Yuyong, who was suspicious, ran back to the office area again. The village chief stood in place, nervously watching "Lao Jiu" and the people "surrounding" him. As Liu Yuyong observed, the group of people was silent, so "Lao Jiu" said loudly: "Fellow villagers, what do you want to do, I won't stop you." When the official contract application form is printed, the village committee will send a copy to each of your families, and I won't stop you from filling it out as you did today. But since everyone is here today, can anyone tell me the reason? If you say anything, you can give us advice and help us improve. I'm not going to retaliate! β
Everyone looked at each other with inquiring eyes for a while, and finally an old bald man opened his throat and shouted: "Secretary, you said that you don't retaliate, so do you want to send red envelopes?" β
"Quack", this is the sound that only "Lao Jiu" himself hears, this is the sound of his old bones rubbing hard, the hand that is not holding the straw watch is clenched into a fist, he has to look up at the sky, as if the anger in his eyes will burn the old bald man to death and scare the others away.
"Lao Jiu" had noticed that the old bald man had only four fingers on his right hand, and he lacked knowledge of the story of these four fingers. The old bald man was one of Chang Jinzhu's early "staples" when he was young, and at that time, Chang Jinzhu "ascended the throne" not long ago, and his power was not as stable as it is now, and the people of Dayangtun were not used to obeying him. When confronted with villagers who were working against him on issues of major interests -- mainly involving land and capital -- Chang Jinzhu was openly and secretly doing so, and the obvious was naturally high-sounding administrative and judicial means, and the secret was to hire bald thugs and other thugs to use violent means to settle the situation. His two-pronged approach yielded remarkable and rapid results, but the bald man was slashed by the farmer he threatened during a shot, lost a finger, regrettably "retired young", and was removed from the list of "partners" in the Chang dynasty's private collection. However, Chang Jinzhu did not forget the old friendship of cooperation, in addition to reporting the case to the police station shortly after he was cut down, and sending the peasants who cut him to prison for "intentional wounding", he also gave him some financial and living care on a regular basis after he quit.
The old bald man saw that the secretary tilted his head and did not speak, believing that he had poked him in the sore spot, so he continued to shout: "Secretary, it's not that we don't support the work of the village, it's just that the work of the village committee is not ...... That's called ...... Opaque! If we don't tell us everything we should know, we will hide our little calculations and report the news. We can't trust you! "He coaxed together, and everyone else followed." Yes, you haven't given an explanation for what was said on the news until now! "It's all on the Internet, the whole country knows about it, and you still want to spend money to gag people!" "I didn't explain it, I didn't explain it, is it true that what the reporter said, don't you dare to admit it?" "He also said that he would invite an expert to explain, but where is the expert? said that he was stopped halfway once, and he didn't dare to come again. Who stopped them? Is it really a hindrance? β
"What are you doing?" "Lao Jiu" and the others followed the prestige, and saw that it was the village chief, Liu Yuyong, and seven or eight young and strong male village committee office workers rushing towards this side. "Don't come here!" "Lao Jiu" glared at his son-in-law, made a "stop" gesture, and said irreverently, "The villagers are here to reflect their opinions, don't stop them!" Let everyone say, say it here! β
The "reinforcements" of the village committee and the villagers who came to hand in the form were all convinced by the posture of "Lao Jiu", the village chief and the others stopped, the old bald man and others also stopped complaining, and there was a brief silence at the gate of the compound.
"Don't do that, everyone!" Another voice gradually followed the footsteps of the run, and when the speaker approached, the people were horrifiedβit was Chang Feihu, who also held a watch in his hand.
"What is he doing here?" All those present asked in their hearts. "I heard what everyone said just now." Chang Feihu had a sad expression, and first faced the villagers who submitted the form, "I can understand your feelings, but I also have to calm down and think about it, we should believe in the ninth secretary!" β
Believe in the "Old Nine" secretary? When these words came out of Chang Jinzhu's son's mouth, "Lao Jiu" felt incredible.
"The old ninth secretary's personality, who in our village doesn't know? Since he took office, we have seen his actions and style, which can only be called a bright and upright. Chang Jinzhu's eldest son gave a thumbs up. Flying Tiger, why do you say that? The old bald man wondered if the person standing in front of him was really Chang Feihu. I'm telling the truth, the old ninth secretary is quite transparent. So I think that this time he also did it transparently, and he didn't hide anything from the villagers. Everyone recalled their usual impression of the secretary, and recalled what he did for the villagers and our village. Having been in a village for decades, who knows him better than us? Anyway, I believe in him, and our family believes in him! β
The villagers who handed in the form discussed a lot, although the voice was not loud, but the tone was more intense than when Fang had just "besieged" Lao Jiu. On the side of the village committee, including the "old nine", they were all silent in shock.
Chang Feihu walked up to "Lao Jiu", handed over his watch with both hands, and said in a loud voice: "Secretary, including this watch, my father and I have carefully read the documents you sent. We plan to contract two acres first, and wait for the official form to be sent out to see if we can contract a few more acres. This time, all the people in our family are ready to go to the ground! In addition, we have some suggestions on this matter, which are also written on the table, right, please take a look. β
