readx;

Shi Pinglan is now a cadre who is mainly engaged in rural work. She has been away from home for several months www.biquge.info she went to the countryside to guide the land reform movement. Now that the division of the rural sector and the distribution of land have become regular, she has withdrawn from the agency.

Shi Pinglan returned home and found that the house was full of dust. She put down her backpack and cleaned and scrubbed. After the cleaning was done, she was busy cooking and stir-frying. The dish was fried and put on the table, and she prepared wine for her husband. The wine was poured, and she sat quietly aside.

Finally the door rang, Shi Pinglan got up and walked towards the door. Niu Jiaying pushed open the door and walked in.

"Why did you come back? Don't say it, I really miss you!" Shi Pinglan stepped forward to take the bag from Niu Jiaying's hand and said as she hung it on the wall.

She helped Niu Jiaying take off her coat and ask while hanging it on the hanger, "Do you miss me?"

Niu Jiaying didn't answer, he took off his hat and hung it on the hanger.

"Do you want to or don't want to?" Shi Pinglan asked.

Niu Jiaying turned around and saw a table of good food and wine and said, "I think, can you eat such good wine and food?"

"The implication is that I think about my wine and food, not me. Ah, you're so bad!" Shi Pinglan said pretending to be angry and slapping Niu Jiaying's back with both fists.

Niu Jiaying was about to take chopsticks, but was stopped by Shi Pinglan and said, "Wash your hands!"

After Niu Jiaying came back from washing his hands, he took a sip of the wine glass and said, "I haven't drunk happily for a long time." ”

He took a bite of the dish and chewed it as he said, "You've made progress again, and it tastes pretty good." By the way, on the phone, you said that you had something to say to me, what is it? Is it a good thing, or is it a bad thing? Is it our children's business?"

"Look, it's not a good thing or a bad thing, it's a strange thing. But it will be useful to you. ”

"Let's talk about things directly, don't hang my appetite!" Niu Jiaying said anxiously.

"Don't worry, let's talk while we eat. ”

Shi Pinglan added some wine to Niu Jiaying and said: "When I went to the countryside with the work team, I met a woman comrade in a village. This comrade, everyone calls her Meimei. She is active and enthusiastic about her work. People are young and beautiful, in fact, these don't surprise me, what surprises me is that she looks too much like a person. ”

Niu Jiaying said indifferently: "If there is something surprising about a person, it is twins!"

"Like that guy you know. Shi Pinglan reminded him.

Niu Jiaying took a sip of wine and asked, "Who?"

"Gu Xiaoli. ”

Niu Jiaying thought for a moment and said, "That's right, Meimei." Gu Xiaoli said that she has a long-lost twin sister. What's her last name?"

"The surname Gu can't be wrong, she and Gu Xiaoli are designated as twins. ”

"Thank you, wife, you've helped me a lot. Today, the director also told me that Gu Xiaoli's government of origin called to say that there was no one in the Gu family. I'm worried that I can't go deep into her work, and now it's good!"

Shi Pinglan said: "I did you a favor, how can you thank me?"

"We are old husbands and wives, thank you. ”

"No, thank you, if you don't thank you, there will be no next time. Pinglan told him very seriously.

"Okay, let's finish eating, I'll treat you well. ”

Pinglan nodded and said, "What I want is your words." ”

This night was Niu Jiaying's best sleep in months.

The next morning, Niu Jiaying scribbled a few bites of food, hurriedly came to the bureau to report to the director about Gu Meimei, and proposed to find Gu Meimei to help her sister.

The director agreed, and told him something else.

It was Gu Xiaoli who asked to go to the prison to interview the prisoners, which was called to assist the prisoners' ideological education work. I agreed. Niu Jiaying knew about this and felt a little strange, so she paid attention to it.

Niu Jiaying returned to Corey, and he found Zhang Chaobei and said, "I am going to go out of Corey today, and you are responsible for it." There is another task I will give you, Gu Xiaoli is going to interview you in prison, and I will find out that I am useful to the person she interviewed. ”

"What's going on?"

"There's no time, I'll tell you when I come back!"

Niu Jiaying did not answer Zhang Chaobei's question, stood up and took Wang Huansheng to drive on the road in person. He wanted to go to Lugezhuang, more than a hundred miles away, to find Gu Meimei. The car drove fast and was out of town quickly.

At this time, Wang Huansheng realized that he was going to go far away, so he asked, "Section chief, where are we going?"

"It's a long way to the road. ”

"It's a long way to go back and forth, 300 miles. Shall we prepare something to eat? ”

"I forgot about it, forget it, I have money in my pocket and can't starve. Niu Jiaying thought about it.

The road out of the city is much worse, and the speed is not fast and quite bumpy.

At the beginning, Niu Jiaying was intently driving his car speechlessly. Wang Huansheng didn't say anything when he was thinking about things, but later Wang Huansheng opened his mouth first.

"We're in a hurry to find someone, right?" Wang Huansheng guessed.

Niu Jiaying asked him rhetorically: "How can you see it?"

"It's not a place for the two of them to have a meeting in such a hurry, why can't they find someone?"

"It's looking for people, and it's not going to be a fight. ”

"There's a good fight! Section chief, I want to get rid of it. ”

The car stopped. Wang Huansheng finished and said: "Section chief, I am familiar with the road in this area, let me drive!"

Niu Jiaying listened and sat down in the back seat.

Wang Huansheng entered the cab and said, "I'm going to take a shortcut." ”

As he spoke, he drove towards a fork in the road. This road is narrow and uneven, but it is a short road, slow but the distance is much closer, so it was past noon when I arrived at Luzhuang.

When they entered the village, they began to inquire. Wang Huansheng entered a common people's house, and a pair of elderly people were having lunch.

Wang Huansheng asked the old man very politely: "The old man asked you about someone." ”

When the old man saw someone entering his yard, he greeted him, and heard that he was inquiring about someone.

"Comrade, who are you inquiring about?"

"Uncle, let's look for Gu Meimei. Niu Jiaying said.

"Gu Meimei! She is the deputy head of our village and the head of the women's office. ”

"Where is her home?" asked Wang Huansheng.

"She's very busy, and it is estimated that she will not be at home now, and may be in the village council. It's not far from here, I'll take you there. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"No thanks. ”

They went to the house where Murakami was working and saw a young man about to lock the door.

The old man shouted loudly: "Xiaoshanzi, where is the village chief Meimei, someone is looking for it." ”

"There was a meeting in the district. Xiao Shanzi replied as he turned around.

Xiao Shanzi saw Uncle Lu leading two strangers, so he walked up to them and asked, "Who are these two Uncle Lu?"

Niu Jiaying took it and said, "We are from the county." Talk to the village chief Gu about work. ”

"Village Chief Lu may go to him at home!"

"No need, let's talk to Village Chief Gu about women, I don't know when Village Chief Gu will come back?"

"I don't know, I may come back today, or I may not come back. ”

"Where is your district, and how far is it?" Wang Huansheng asked anxiously.

"In Huijiaji, it's fifty or sixty miles back and forth!" the old man told him.

When Shanzi heard that something was wrong, the people in the county still didn't know where the district was. He asked, "Who are you?"

Niu Jiaying hurriedly took out the certificate from his jacket pocket and handed it to Shanzi.

Shanzi took the letter and saw that there was a big red mark on it.

"It turns out that you are from the Public Security Bureau, and Village Chief Gu is a good person, you can't arrest her!"

"I didn't arrest her, I asked her for help. Wang Huansheng comforted.

Shanzi turned from worry to politely said, "It's noon, come to my house for dinner!"

"No, time is very tight, we have found Village Chief Gu, and we have to rush back!" Niu Jiaying excused.

Uncle Lu said: "Your car is still parked in front of my house, so take some sweet potatoes at my house to satisfy your hunger!"

Niu Jiaying and Wang Huansheng both said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

They came to the door of Uncle Lu's house, and Uncle Lu brought several steaming sweet potatoes and put them in the hands of Niu Jiaying and Wang Huansheng. They thanked the passerby and got into the car. Niu Jiaying drove the car and hit the road again.

Wang Huansheng said while eating: "I'm really hungry. This sweet potato is so delicious and sweet. ”

"It's broken!" Niu Jiaying said suddenly.

Wang Huansheng asked, "What's wrong?"

"I took other people's sweet potatoes and didn't give them money!"

"I thought it was a big deal? I said, if you give people money, they won't ask for it. ”

While talking, they came to Hui's house. After inquiry, they came to the district office. They went directly to the district chief's office, and Niu Jiaying handed over the letter to the district chief.

After reading the letter, the district chief said: "The two comrades of the public security department are looking for me something?"

Niu Jiaying said: "May I ask if Village Chief Gu Meimei is holding a meeting in the district, we have something to do with her." ”

"It's a coincidence, the meeting was held in the morning, and Gu Meimei joined a working group to go to various villages to introduce experience. I don't know exactly where it is now. ”

Niu Jiaying and Wang Huansheng were a little ignorant when they heard this. At this time, a young lesbian walked in.

The district chief asked the female comrade, "Xiao Lizi, which group Gu Meimei is in which direction is going?"

"I went in the direction of Xiao Weizhuang. ”

Niu Jiaying listened to the spirit, and he said to the district chief: "Comrade District Chief, we have a job that needs Gu Meimei's help, and we want to borrow her for a while, if we find her, we will directly pick her up, is it okay?"

"In such a hurry?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, do you need it for work?"

Niu Jiaying reached out and shook the district chief's hand and said, "Thank you for the district chief's support for our work." ”

The district chief sent them out of the door and said, "You're welcome, you should support your work." ”

Niu Jiaying and Wang Huansheng got into the car and hurried south, and soon came to Xiaoweizhuang. Upon inquiry, the working group left. The direction of going is to the west, and the direction of going west is to go to Liuhe Village. They drove to the Willow River and found that the bridge over the river was so narrow that they couldn't drive across. They went up and down the river to inspect it, and there was no place to cross it.

So, Niu Jiaying said to Wang Huansheng: "You will drive the car to Liuhe Village, and I will walk across the bridge to Liuhe Village to find Gu Meimei." ”

"Alright then!" said Xiao Wang, who agreed to get into the car and go to find a way across the river.

Niu Jiaying watched Xiao Wang drive away, and he stepped on the wooden bridge on the river, in fact, after crossing the bridge, he walked more than two miles to Liuhe Village. Niu Jiaying met a teenage girl when she entered Liuhe Village.

Niu Jiaying asked loudly: "Little sister, where is the office of the village chief of your village?"

"In the big house in front. The girl said enthusiastically pointing to the west.

Niu Jiaying said: "Thank you, little sister. ”

Then the girl said, "I'll take you!" and went to the front.

They soon came to the big house, and the girl said to Niu Jiaying: "Big brother, the door with the wooden sign is where the village chief works." With that, she pulled her legs and ran away.

Niu Jiaying waved her hand to the girl who looked back, and then walked towards the village chief's office. Before he could enter the door of the village chief's office, a person stepped out of the door.

He was a tall man in his forties and a bearded peasant.

He took the initiative to ask Niu Jiaying: "Comrade, do you have something?"

"I'm looking for the village chief. ”

"I am. If you have something to say, please come inside and say it!"
