Chapter 19 The Village Chief

The villagers' meeting was held in the playground of Huaishu Village Primary School. The theme of the meeting was to resolve the disputes of the villagers and the drought control problem in Huaishu Village. The village chief first made a summary of the village affairs, including the crop production in the village, the situation of the children's schooling, the handover of public grain, and the handover of retention funds. At the same time, the villagers exchanged and shared their experiences on the cultivation of crops and the use of chemical fertilizers. The village chief also praised whose family's bread grew bigger, whose pigs were the fattest, and whose sows had the most calves. The most commendable thing is that the village chief made the village's accounts public, how much income and how much was spent, and there was almost no adulteration in these accounts. Is the account made? Or did it actually happen? Do you want to make fake accounts? These are the questions that are known to the extraordinary. However, the financial report made by the village chief convinced the majority of the villagers and won the respect of the people.

The village chief also talked about the fight between Li Tianbang and Hu San over water, and said: "Recently, it has been difficult for people and animals in our village to drink water. Group 3 and Group 4 have had disputes and disputes over this, I hope everyone will take this as a warning, they are all villagers, there is something to discuss, don't be rough, play a three long and two short to be criminally responsible, not only to compensate for medical expenses, but also to squat in the room. The root cause of this dispute is the lack of water due to drought, and in order to overcome this difficulty, everyone can put forward any anti-drought measures and discuss them. ”

Everyone, you and I can't discuss any scientific countermeasures. Finally, Hu Kehao referred to Zhu Yuanzhang's theory of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king" in history, and applied it to Huaishu Village to complete the localization of the theory, and put forward the countermeasure of "digging deep pits, accumulating water widely, and slowing people in", which was unanimously agreed upon after consultation and voting by the villagers.

Digging deep pits – Mobilize the whole village to dig deep pits or dig wells in dry weir ponds, ponds and any other places where water may be available in Huaishu Village.

Extensive water accumulation - the water found storage and accumulation, the domestic water should be used sparingly and recycled.

Slow entry people - if you work or work outside, don't go home for the time being; People in the village can also go out to work and reduce water consumption.

Due to the dry weather, Wu Tiangui's contracted fish in the weir died and suffered heavy losses, and through the coordination of the village chief, his contract fee for this year was reduced. After the village meeting, the villagers were in high spirits, and the village chief gave an order, and everyone went to dig pits in the low-lying and humid areas to find water, and they survived the difficulties for a while.

The village chief felt very comfortable by convening a village-wide meeting to solve the imminent difficulties of the people. Since he became the village chief, he can't remember how many good things he has done to the villagers to repair bridges and roads. The village chief's temper was relatively short-tempered when he was young, and his work style was tough, which also offended many people. With the increase of age, the village chief has become more and more gentle, more and more friendly to people, and his working methods have become closer and closer to the masses, always wanting to do more good things for the masses and seek welfare for the villagers.

Many years ago, the village chief at that time was still very impatient, and he had a conflict with Wu Tiangui's family in Group 3 of Huaishu Village. At that time, it was the 90s of the 20th century, and Wu Tiangui's family had two sons who wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and start a family, and the family's economic conditions were not good and the burden was very heavy. The family's financial resources are limited, but they sell some rapeseed money, cotton money, and fat pig money, and most of these money have to be used to pay the retention money. After paying the retention money, you can't eat vegetable oil, you can't afford to wear cotton clothes, and you can't eat pork. The so-called retention money means that if you take a few cows to sell, the money from the sale is not enough to hand over. In order to collect the retention money, the village cadres took away the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, furniture and televisions in the poor people's homes. After paying the retention money, I still have to provide for the elderly, and the poor money at home is really beyond our means, and I am stretched thin.

That year, Wu Tiangui's son Wu Da came back from working in other places, and heard that because the family could not pay the retention money, the fat pigs in the pigsty were taken away by the village chief. My father was afraid of causing trouble, so he didn't dare to apply. When he heard this, he was very angry: "What is this the work of a public servant of the people?" Their pigs have been taken away, are they, as "people", still the masters of the village? At that time, he was still young, and he thought that everything advertised was right, and he really regarded the village chief as a servant of the government, so he asked the village chief to serve the people according to his understanding of the servant, but he didn't expect that one of his servants would take away their family's hope for the New Year - a fat pig. This fat pig is not simple, it can be sold for money, and it can also be killed and eaten for meat. Usually, people kill pigs in the month of wax, to send some pork to relatives and friends, but also to treat guests during the New Year, even so, a pig generally has to eat for half a year. At that time, their bacon was about to be eaten until the summer of the following year, when the bacon had turned yellow, and the golden bacon oil had come out in the hot weather.

After the trial in Wu Da's heart, it was clear that the village chief's behavior violated the requirements of the people's servants, and he must punish the village chief on behalf of justice and justice. Later, he gradually realized that what was propagated was often not realized at that time, and it still needed to be realized with effort. For example, propaganda slogans to increase grain production are due to food shortages. Propaganda puts forward the slogan of building a society based on the rule of law, because it is not quite a society governed by the rule of law. The propaganda does not mention air and sunshine because there is plenty of air and sunshine. Propaganda refers to the public servants of the people, because they are not public servants, but the common people are servants and slaves.

The village chief's behavior is seriously inconsistent with the content of the public servant publicized by the media, and Wu Dagong was very depressed and wanted to vent, so he planned to rectify the village chief, so that he, a public servant, would not dare to act arbitrarily and recklessly, and would no longer dare to bully the honest people. Wu Da's younger brother Wu Er is a person with a lot of ideas, and Wu Da tells him to come up with ideas to punish the village chief.

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, we can't do it, we have to use clever methods to rectify him." Wu Er said.

"What's the trick?" Wu Da asked.

"The village chief has to open the door and go to the toilet in the middle of the night every day, and we want to fix him in the toilet." Wu Er said.

In Huaishu Village, when I sleep at night, some families put the urine bucket in the room and put it in the urine bucket when they get up in the middle of the night to pee. Some families don't put urine buckets at home, and they have to open the door to go to the toilet when they pee and shit. Pig manure and human manure are all pulled in the same pit, which is a precious and rare farm fertilizer.

On the night of the cold winter wax moon, people generally go to bed early. At about eleven o'clock in the evening, when their parents were asleep, Wu Da and Wu Er quietly got up, flashlights, and quietly walked to the village chief's house. The flashlight alerted the dogs in the yard, and they barked together. The villagers were used to hearing the barking of dogs, and they simply turned a deaf ear, and Wu Da Wu Er's behavior was not discovered. What if you find out? They were originally from the village, and they were not thieves.

This village chief is really, why did he come to lead the fat pig of the Wu family? Wu's mother worked for this fat pig, and she and the aunts and maids in the yard went to the hillside and the field to collect pigweed to feed the pig. In the wheat field, the most common pigweed is endive lotus and goose grass. Sometimes, in people's kraft vegetable fields, endive lotus grows very luxuriantly, and it is a big memorization for a few minutes. Some landowners were afraid that the pigweed would hurt the crops, so they shouted and scolded when they saw the pigweed. Indeed, some people are not moral, and when they are threshing pigweed, they cut other people's crops and peel other people's kraft vegetables. However, most of the pigweed is only weeded, which is equivalent to weeding the owner's house, which is beneficial to both themselves and the owner. The children also went out to play pigweed, and sometimes they played poker in the field to gamble, and when they lost, they gave a handful of pigweed. Sometimes when they are tired of beating pigweed, they find a place to barbecue and eat, which is bacon brought by home. The chopped bacon and garlic sprouts and coriander are all stuffed into the bamboo tube, the dry grass and branches picked up in the field are lit, and the bamboo tube is grilled on the fire, and the grilled bacon tastes delicious.

After a while, Wu Da and Wu Er arrived at the village chief's house. The gate was closed, the village chief had not yet slept, and the television was still playing in the hall, emitting a milky white light. The TV is louder, and they listen to the pig feed advertisements on TV, what whooping fat, what red and black...... The village chief's toilet is a small brick room with room for three or four people, with a pigsty and a manure pit. The feces and urine in the toilet can go straight to the large manure pit and mix with the pig's feces and urine. Standing on the side of the big dung pit, the human dung on the left is yellow, and the pig dung on the right is black. If the yellow manure and the black manure are not clearly distinguished, it may be that the owner's family picked up the manure to drench the crops, and the black and yellow manure were mixed together.

It is not unsightly to talk about feces and urine here, firstly, because Wu Da and Wu Er want to rectify the village chief in the toilet; The second is because feces and feces can also be honored in the hall of elegance, as evidenced by "Zhuangzi Zhibei Tour": "Dong Guozi asked Zhuangzi and said: 'The so-called Tao, what is evil?' Zhuangzi said: "Everywhere." Dong Guozi said: "It can be later." Zhuangzi said: "In the ants." He said, 'What is the next step?' He said, "In the barnyard tree." ’…… He said, 'How much more?' He said, "I'm drowning in." Dong Guo Zi should not. Originally, Zhuangzi believed that the Tao was everywhere, and since it was everywhere, it must also be in the feces (in the feces and urine), which shows the vastness of the Tao.

At the end of the TV series, the village chief coughed. Judging from experience, the village chief will soon come to the toilet to pee and then go to sleep. Wu Da and Wu Er hid in the toilet, listening to the village chief's cough getting closer and closer, and their hearts became more and more nervous, feeling as timid as rats in the toilet. It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, in the toilet near the office of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, there were often some rats running around, these rats were dirty and smelly, they ate dirty things every day, and when they saw someone or a dog coming, they were frightened and hurriedly ran away. Later, Li Si walked into the granary again, saw the rats in the warehouse, ate hoarded grain, lived in a big house, was not afraid of wind and rain, and traveled leisurely every day, without worrying about the disturbance of people or dogs, and raised fat and big. Li Si saw that they were both rats, but they were in two situations, one was smelly and dirty, very embarrassed, and the other was fat and big, very comfortable. Li Si thought of people and thought of himself by the mouse, so he sighed: "The virtuous and unscrupulous of people are like rats, in their own ears!" ”

Wu Da and Wu Er felt like rats in the toilet at the moment, waiting for the arrival of the village chief.

"Ahem, ahem......" The village chief kept coughing as he lifted the curtain of the toilet, and at the same time the fire flashed, and the village chief lit the lighter. The village chief lowered his head and did not find Wu Da and Wu Er lurking in the toilet. The village chief was afraid that the lighter would burn out, so he extinguished the lighter after a few seconds. The village chief seemed to be about to defecate, afraid that his feet would fall into the toilet, so he turned on the lighter again, and this time he looked up and clearly saw two monsters in the toilet: long hair, pale face, bright red blood from his burst eyes, and long fangs in his mouth, on which there were meat scraps and blood......

"Hell......" the village chief shouted, and then ran out of the toilet and stood by the dung pit. Wu Da and Wu Er took off their masks, quietly slipped out of the toilet, and pushed the village chief into the dung pit. The dung pit was not deep, just enough to flood the village chief's stomach, so as not to cause death, Wu Da and Wu Er quietly left. Far away from the village chief's house, Wu Da and Wu Er turned on their flashlights, stumbled home, and quietly went to bed. "It's okay now, scare the village chief half to death, see if he will be arrogant in the future!" Wu Er said.

The village chief's wife heard the screams and came to the toilet to rescue the village chief. The village chief knew that he must have offended people by collecting and withdrawing money, and was pranked by others. The next day, the village chief went door-to-door to return some things and obtained the understanding of the villagers. Later, the village chief found out that it was Wu Da Wu Er who rectified him, and the two brothers had to apologize. After the incident, the village chief changed his work methods and gradually won the respect of the villagers.
