Chapter 106: Back to my hometown
Xia Chengcheng's grandmother's family is in a rural area called Shandian Village.
Along the way, listening to Zhang Mei introduce her maiden family to herself, Ye Yun had some basic understanding of this Shandian Village and their family.
Xia Qingcheng's grandmother is eighty years old today, and she has two sons and a daughter, that is, Zhang Mei.
Grandpa died when Zhang Mei was very young.
Therefore, it was basically her grandmother who raised her three children single-handedly.
Zhang Mei's two elder brothers, the eldest brother is a policeman in the county public security bureau, he is in his fifties, and he is only the captain of a squad in the public security bureau.
The current directors are all more than ten years younger than him.
Zhang Mei told Ye Yun that the eldest brother Zhang Long had a chance to rise, he has been working the front line, in the past 20 years, I don't know how many cases have been solved, it stands to reason that it is possible to enter the position of the director, even if he enters the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
However, Zhang Long has an upright personality and is upright, he only knows his work, he doesn't pat the leader's ass, he doesn't give red envelopes or gifts, even if his political performance is good, he can't get the appreciation of the leader.
Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that when Zhang Long was young, he arrested the nephew of the captain of a city public security bureau at that time.
At that time, the captain's nephew was suspected of a ***** crime, and the case was handled by the county public security bureau where Zhang Long worked.
At that time, the captain found Zhang Long, the person in charge, and wanted him to be accommodating, let his nephew go, and of course, would also give him a lot of benefits, such as transferring him to the Municipal Public Security Bureau!
You must know that the Public Security Bureau of County D and the Municipal Public Security Bureau are not at the same level, and if you enter the Municipal Public Security Bureau, you will have many more opportunities for promotion.
However, Zhang Long didn't expect to refuse.
Since then, the captain has had a great prejudice against him.
Later, the captain was slowly promoted, first as the director of the office, then as the deputy director of the city, and then as the current director.
And because of this incident back then, the director suppressed Zhang Long everywhere and did not give him the opportunity to be promoted, until now.
When she said this, Zhang Mei was very indignant, and she couldn't wait to rush to the public security bureau and beat the director violently.
Ye Yun sighed in his heart. Isn't that what happens in the current government?
Corruption, corrupt officials get in the way.
As long as there is a little power, he can kill whoever he wants, and he has long forgotten the laws of the country and the so-called fairness and justice.
Zhang Mei's second brother, Zhang Fan, is a high school English teacher in a key middle school in the county, a typical intellectual, and is known as a great talent in the village. However, as my grandmother gets older, she needs someone to take care of her at home, and the eldest brother Zhang Long is a police officer and is very busy with work, so how can he have time to take care of the teacher.
Xia Chengcheng's grandmother's family, one became a policeman, one became a high school teacher, and the other married an old director of a group company.
In the countryside, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a glorious ancestor!
Grandma is also quite proud of her three children.
Although the village is not very poor, it is not rich, and there is a cement road that leads to the village.
This time, Xia Haitian drove back in a big bus, which was more than enough for five people.
Because Xia Chengcheng's grandmother's house was not next to the main road in the village, a little away from the main road, the car could not drive in, so Xia Haitian could only park the car on a vacant lot on the side of the main road.
Everyone got out of the car and walked to Xia Chengcheng's grandmother's house with big bags and small bags of gifts.
In this Shandian Village, basically every household lives in a cement house, all of which have one floor and two floors, Ye Yun and others got out of the car and walked out, which immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.
"Yo, isn't this the third baby and little sister of the old Zhang family? Come back with your daughter and son-in-law to pay your birthday to the old lady?" an old man with gray hair and most of his teeth had lost most of his teeth, sitting on a bamboo chair at the door, smoking a bamboo cigarette, grinning at Zhang Mei.
"Yes, Seventh Uncle!" Zhang Mei smiled politely: "Why don't you go to my house for a few drinks?"
"When people are old, they don't dare to drink, otherwise, they may not wake up when they get drunk. The old man grinned.
"Uncle Seven, look at what you said, our whole village, who doesn't know that your Uncle Seventh is in good health, I heard that last year, a little bastard from another village came to your house to steal a dog, and you knocked him down on the spot and sent him to the police station!"
"Hey, you know all about that?" said the old man in surprise.
"Don't you know? My mom mentioned it to me a lot on the phone. Zhang Mei smiled: "Okay, don't bother you to bask in the sun, I'll come back to greet you again." ”
After Zhang Mei finished speaking, she led everyone to continue walking on the trail.
Along the way, many neighbors recognized Zhang Mei and greeted each other with a smile.
Ye Yun and the others quickly walked to their destination.
Xia Chengcheng's grandmother's house is close to the farmland, outside the door, there is a big small garden, outside the small garden, is a large rice field, this is April, the rice has not yet grown, only see a green piece, very beautiful.
And grandma's house is also a cement house, with a total of three floors, it looks quite big, and the decoration is also good.
At this time, in the courtyard, there are nearly twenty tables, on the far right, there are seven or eight plainly dressed men who are wearing kitchen towels cooking dishes, and the tables behind them are full of all kinds of dishes.
Before he got closer, Ye Yun smelled the aroma of food.
This is the case in the countryside, whether it is a wedding banquet, a child's full moon wine or an old man's birthday banquet, the villagers will be invited to celebrate together, and the birthday banquet is basically a big pot of rice, that is, cooking vegetables in a large pot, and then divided into ten or twenty portions and so on.
For this kind of feast, as long as people who have lived in the countryside, they have basically eaten it.
At this time, it was still more than nine o'clock in the morning, and there was still more than an hour before the banquet began, and there were not many people in the courtyard.
"Yo! look who's back!" At this time, someone in the courtyard recognized Zhang Mei, it was a man who was stir-frying, wiping his sweat and shouting at Zhang Mei: "Third sister, why did you only arrive now." The old lady kept talking about you just now, why didn't you come back so late? ”
"Qiangzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, there is a little traffic jam on the road, and I came back a little late. Zhang Mei said with a smile, this is their neighbor, who grew up together.
"Third sister, your two twin daughters are getting more and more beautiful, do you have a boyfriend? If not, how about introducing my Erniu to you?
"Zhang Tieniu, are you really embarrassed to say, isn't your Erniu in the next village with Xiaohua in the next village? You actually dare to let him provoke the beautiful girl of the third sister's family, aren't you afraid that the old lady will beat you with a broom?"
