CHAPTER XXII
The two quickly walked to the noisy village committee office, and with the arrival of Xia Yanru, the village cadres who were still noisy instantly quieted down.
"Xiao Xia, you're here, come and sit down here, let's talk slowly." Yao Songqiu greeted Xia Yanru to the vacant seat beside him with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Ying said you were looking for me." Xia Yanru naturally did not take the initiative to talk about the topic of food, but pretended not to know.
Yao Songqiu was so shrewd, Xia Yanru guessed the other party's intentions as soon as she opened her mouth, and nodded secretly in her heart, this is the best, so she opened her mouth to explain a few words.
The village cadres who listened to Yao Songqiu's explanation on the side were in a hurry, and Yao Songqiu's explanation was not wrong, but they didn't mention the key points they wanted to hear at all.
"Hey, I said Lao Yao, you are not kind, this is half a statement, how can Comrade Jiaxia be clear?" It was Wang Weimin, the village chief of Xishan Village next door, who spoke and had a good relationship with Yao Songqiu on weekdays, but this time he was forced to be helpless, otherwise he really didn't want to embarrass his good brother.
"Hmph, then you say it yourself." Yao Songqiu snorted unhappily, looking angry, but in fact, he was helping the other party hand the ladder.
Xia Yanru smiled and glanced at Yao Songqiu, who was pretending to be angry, and did not find out the other party's careful thoughts, people, there are always some relatives and friends who are difficult to refuse or close to, and she doesn't feel anything wrong with this.
"That, hehe, Xia, Comrade Xiao Xia, I'm Wang Weimin, the head of Xishan Village, and I came here with a cheeky face this time, but I really can't survive in the village." Wang Weimin rubbed his hands a little innocently, and as he spoke, his voice began to slowly change tone, and he was already crying.
"It's difficult in the village, the township officials don't do personnel one by one, and how much grain is produced in the field every year, who knows better than us old farmers who work hard day and night? In order to be greedy for merit, they reported that the grain output could not produce so much even in a bumper year, let alone a disaster this year. Wang Weimin wiped his face, he felt bitter in his heart, the output reported in other places is the decision of his own village, and when he arrived in their Xingliang Township, how much each village produces is directly decided by those beasts.
"It's not, Wanyou Mountain on the dog day is a sanctimonious faction on weekdays, and it used to be like to play official to make profits, but now it is completely not for farmers to live!" Another village cadre complained sharply.
Xia Yanru frowned when she heard this, she really didn't know much about the historical background of this era, even if there was relevant content in the history books in the past, it would not be put in the textbooks in detail, not to mention that this was just a parallel world, and she hadn't understood the difference between it and the time and space she was in before.
"Haven't you ever thought about filing a lawsuit?" Xia Yanru asked.
With Xia Yanru's inquiry, the office was unusually quiet for a while, obviously there was something else hidden here.
Thinking that there might be some other reasons, Xia Yanru didn't plan to continue to break the casserole and ask to the end, but although she didn't want to continue to ask, it didn't hinder the big guy's full of complaining after the quiet.
"We're not stupid, we're all cadres, and naturally we don't want that Wanyoushan to cause trouble to us, but we have to find the right person to report, the reason why this Wanyoushan dares to be so rampant is not because his sister-in-law is married to the deputy county magistrate of our county, and there is such a backer, even if our people go to the county, they can't sue." Someone said.
In fact, the man wanted to say that officials protect each other, but when he thought that he was also a village chief, and he was also an official in his turn, he didn't want to say this word directly.
"And what do you want to do now?" Xia Yanru didn't ask them why they didn't look for the county magistrate, thinking that they must have found it, it is estimated that it is useless, and this kind of exaggerated style is not only in Xingliang Township, but also in many other places, and the national atmosphere is like this, no matter how much it is sued, it will not change anything, maybe it will be beaten upside down.
As soon as Xia Yanru asked, the people present became quiet again, if it were Yao Songqiu, they would all be big men, they could make a fuss, but in the face of a delicate little girl, they really couldn't speak.
"Come on, didn't you have a lot of fun just now, from the morning to now, I'm embarrassed now, why did you go early?" Yao Songqiu scolded unceremoniously, the relationship was good in the past, it was just a good relationship, no matter what, what their group of people did today made him a little unhappy.
"Fart, who's embarrassed." Wang Weimin has the most straightforward temperament, and when Yao Songqiu said this, he let go of the slightest awkwardness in his heart, "Comrade Xiaoxia, let's come today, in fact, we also heard that there is food in Shishan Pass, and we said that we came to borrow it, in fact, we also know that no matter how much food there is in Shishan Pass, we can't help the big guys to borrow it, we just want to know, how can we buy food, we will give the money and tickets according to the price." ”
After Wang Weimin finished speaking, he stared at Xia Yanru with a daze, and the others also looked at Xia Yanru nervously, with expectations and apprehensions in their hearts.
didn't disappoint everyone, Xia Yanru nodded, to be honest, she could refuse, but she couldn't think of a reason to refuse, for her own safety? No, the source of the large quantities of food is indeed difficult to explain, but for her, it is not completely impossible.
The only thing she is a little uncertain about is the person who is secretly spying on her, and she wants to avoid the other party to prepare food, which is a bit troublesome, but the person who thinks of it should not know that she has already found out that she is being watched.
"Okay, tomorrow I will send the amount and type of food you need to Uncle Yao, I will find a way to raise food as soon as possible, or the same, I will only collect money and tickets according to the market price, and you will discuss the details yourself." After Xia Yanru finished speaking, she planned to get up and leave, and just teach Yao Songqiu to deal with the rest, anyway, she only needs to be responsible for transporting the grain back.
"Xiao Xia, don't worry, I'll dock the rest, you go back first." Seeing that Xia Yanru didn't want to stay longer, Yao Songqiu said with a smile.
Xia Yanru nodded at him, greeted Ying Fengshan and walked out of the village committee office, and after walking not far, he saw several old ladies walking towards this side with a few young daughters-in-law and young men with angry and ashamed faces.
guessed that these young people were probably the culprits who leaked the food in the village, but Xia Yanru didn't plan to join in the fun, just looking at the attitude of those old people, she knew that this matter would definitely not get worse, there is a way that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, as long as these old people can know the severity, there will be people to clean up the children at the bottom.
As Xia Yanru guessed, the few young people who were dragged to the village committee office were the main cause of the food leak, and the little daughters-in-law said it inadvertently when they returned to their parents' home, and the young men said it unintentionally because of vanity.
Fortunately, it was not said on purpose, and the original intention was not to have bad intentions towards the Shishan, but in the end, he was young, and he didn't expect that if he said it so casually, it would bring any problems to the village.
"Xiao Yao, it's all because the aunt is not strict in discipline, which makes this bastard leak the food, and the aunt is ashamed!" An old lady cried bitterly that she really felt ashamed of the village.
This fuss made a few village cadres from various villages who jointly came over feel ashamed, aren't these little daughters-in-law exactly the ones who married out in their villages, in the final analysis, they are all troubled by lack of food.
"Auntie, don't cry, I know they don't have a heart, if they really deliberately make the village sad, I will definitely not let it go so easily, but with this education, aunts and uncles, after going back, we should educate and educate, we should be a little vigilant, even if we don't have bad intentions." Yao Songqiu said generously, but the warning implied in the words also believed that several old people could hear it.
Sure enough, several old people who were old and sophisticated felt even more ashamed after hearing this, and promised again and again that this kind of thing would never happen again, so they left the office with the juniors who had made mistakes, and when they got home, they must have to be reprimanded before they could give up.
