Chapter 29: A Reputation for Courage (1)

Coming out of the food group, Hou Weidong's chest was panicked, he carried a water bottle, sat on the rockery in the backyard, silently combed his thoughts, the sky was full of stars revolving in the sky, just like the question in Hou Weidong's heart: "It turns out that I was assigned to the working group." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I came to Qinglin Town with a letter of introduction from the Personnel Bureau, and I didn't offend anyone, why did you send me to Shangqinglin?" Hou Weidong was puzzled.

A feeling of being teased and abandoned grew in Hou Weidong's heart, and he sat silently for a while, full of mountain mosquitoes, flying in the dark night, making a "buzz, buzz" bomber roar.

"Did I make the wrong choice?" Remembering what his father often said - a man must be responsible, Hou Weidong cheered himself up again, and said: "Maybe this is a test for yourself, a man must be responsible." ”

After sitting for a while, he slowly unraveled the grievances in his abdomen.

A woman walked by from the backyard, she inadvertently saw Hou Weidong sitting on the flower platform, startled, and said, "Who?" Hou Weidong stood up and said, "I am from the Qinglin government, and I only went up the mountain today." ”

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "You're Xiaohou." ”

"I am."

The woman said gently: "Our two families are on the first floor, and we will be neighbors in the future, so we have time to sit at home." ”

"Wow, this is the owner of the garlic sprouts back to the pot." Hou Weidong had a special impression of the fragrant garlic sprouts back to the pot, and said politely: "I will definitely trouble my aunt often in the future." ”

There was a bucket beside the woman, and she put her hand on her waist to rest, "College students are different, they speak so politely, I am from Gao Changjiang's family, surnamed Liu." ”

The woman's voice was very low, and she sounded weak, so Hou Weidong said, "Aunt Liu, I'll help you carry the bucket." ”

"No need, I washed some clothes, and when I got to the back, it was spun dry, not heavy."

"Hey, Aunt Liu, we are neighbors, so let Xiaohou mention it."

couldn't help but say, Hou Weidong carried a water bottle and a plastic bucket, and followed Aunt Yang to the second floor, Aunt Yang was out of breath when she went up to the second floor, Hou Weidong wondered a little in his heart: I heard that the treatment of township leaders is very good, Gao Changjiang has been the township mayor and the deputy mayor, can't he even afford a washing machine.

Put the bucket next to Yang Ajie's door, and with the help of the light in the house, Hou Weidong saw Aunt Liu's appearance clearly, her face was full of lines, her skin was yellow, her hair was gray, and she was so old that she had experienced harm, but Gao Changjiang was not retired, she was not yet sixty years old, according to Yiyang's habits, his lover was generally a few years younger, but he was in his fifties, thinking of this, Hou Weidong was startled, Aunt Liu and his mother Liu Guangfen were of the same age, but her mother looked at least ten to fifteen years younger than Aunt Liu, but in fact, her mother was not young. It's that Aunt Yang is too old.

Standing at the door with a polite word, Hou Weidong returned to the bedroom, after some cleaning, this one-bedroom bedroom looks much more pleasing to the eye, Hou Weidong took the Qinglin tea flavor he had just bought, made hot tea with a white porcelain cup, and stood in the corridor, admiring the night of Qinglin Mountain.

Objectively speaking, the small building of the Qinglin Mountain Township Government is really good, standing on the corridor, the terrain is extremely open, the end of the line of sight is a "concave" shaped peak, a few shining stars are like being held up by the peak, hanging on the top of the peak, and in front of the corridor, is a cement dam that can be parked, in front of the cement dam, and there is a pond with lotus leaves.

On a summer night, standing in the corridor, tasting Qinglin tea that tastes good, listening to the indiscriminate chirping of various small insects, and a mountain breeze sliding up the valley blows the leaves loudly, which also brings a burst of coolness.

The next day, Hou Weidong got up very early, he walked around the old town of Shangqinglin, and clearly saw the old town clearly, the town of Shangqinglin in the morning, much more lovely than the night, there are two breakfast shops, one in the east is a bean curd restaurant, and the west is a porridge steamed bun shop, Hou Weidong hesitated for a while, and then sat in the bean curd restaurant, bean curd rice is a unique breakfast in Yiyang, one yuan a piece, including a bowl of white bean curd, the rice is easy to eat, affordable and delicious, is the favorite of students and working class.

There are only four or five tables in the Shangqinglin Douhua Restaurant, and on a long table there is a row of cooking bowls, which are composed of salt, flavor, Sichuan pepper powder, green onions, garlic, red sea pepper, Qinghai pepper, bowl of beans, vegetable oil boiled with Sichuan pepper, etc., which are combined according to their own tastes. Hou Weidong personally adjusted a small half bowl of ingredients, and then scooped a bowl of rice, and a lean middle-aged man came over with a bowl of bean curd.

The bean curd is solid and fine, tender and strong, and the seasoning is well combined, Hou Weidong ate two large bowls of rice fiercely, and a circle of sweat has been secreted on his forehead.

Two people walked into the Douhua Restaurant, and the thin man said enthusiastically: "Township Chief Gao, I went up the mountain so early." He shouted to the inner room, "Guest, fetch a basin of water for the head of the village and get a new towel." ”

The head of the village is a thin and tall black man, his beard is a little gray, and his spirit is excellent, especially the two eyes are bright, when the basin is brought out, he is not polite, he washes his face on the side of the street, and wipes off the sweat.

Township Chief Gao sat down and said, "It's still the same old thing, one bowl of bean curd per person, two taels of wine, and whether there are braised vegetables or steamed vegetables." The thin man neatly served the bean curd, and said: "Yesterday I marinated some fat sausages, which are very fragrant, and I don't cut them." Township Chief Gao nodded and said, "Come, cut half a catty." ”

The golden braised fat intestines were brought to the table, and Township Chief Gao said to another man with a serious face: "Director Qin, in Shangqinglin, the well water of Yao Slender is the best, and the bean curd ordered is also the most stringent. When Secretary Zhao of the county party committee arrived in Shangqinglin, he must come here to eat these two things. ”

Director Qin is the director of the Qinglin Town Police Station, at the end of last year from the Yiyang County Public Security Bureau Section 1 transferred to the Qinglin Town Police Station, 34 years old, as the deputy section chief of the first section has been six years, but the head of the first section is the same age as him, occupying a seat, he has never been promoted, when the Qinglin Town Police Station was established, he was transferred from the bureau to Qinglin Town.

Director Qin was born with a serious face, and he usually spoke little, he didn't speak, took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised fat intestines, tasted it carefully for a while, and said, "Not bad." ”

Township Chief Gao didn't say much, and the two of them ate attentively.

Hou Weidong already knew at this time that Township Chief Gao was the leader of the working group and Aunt Yang's husband, but Aunt Yang's image was too different from Township Chief Gao, and it was difficult to coincide, so he beckoned to the thin man and said, "Boss, check out." Hou Weidong whispered to the thin man: "How much is the table of Township Chief Gao, I will settle it together." ”

The thin man smiled innocently and said, "Ten yuan." When Hou Weidong stood up, the thin man said, "Township Chief Gao, the account has been settled." ”

Township Chief Gao looked at Hou Weidong, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "You are Hou Weidong." After receiving an affirmative answer, he waved his hand vigorously and said loudly: "You haven't received your salary yet, how can you let you pay, Yao Slender Man, you can't take his money, hear no." ”

Hou Weidong hurriedly said: "Township Chief Gao, I'll go first." With that, he slipped away quickly. Township Chief Gao stood next to the shop, and when he saw Hou Weidong's back, he stomped his feet and said, "This baby, run fast." ”
