Sun Yuting's house at the east end of the village.

A cold wind slipped through the broken windows, causing the flames of the kerosene lamps to sway from side to side.

He Fengying put down the basin, put the wooden board on the window, then picked up the hot water bottle and poured it into the cold water, and brought it to Sun Yuting.

Sun Yuting took off his shoes and put his feet into the basin, so comfortable that his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's so comfortable."

He Fengying wiped her hands, sat next to Sun Yuting, and asked in a low voice: "Old Sun, the comrades who came to help us from the capital have arrived, the members of the club have finally eaten all-you-can-eat, and you have also completed the task assigned to you by Tian Futang, why do you seem to be a little unhappy?" ”

At the mention of this, the joy on Sun Yuting's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He picked up the cigarette pouch and pot on the kang and coughed lightly twice, He Fengying knew that this was going to teach her a lesson, so he hurriedly paddled the flint and helped him light the cigarette pouch and pot.

He Fengying was originally a girl in the city, but by chance, after meeting Sun Yuting, she resolutely did not want a bride price and married into the poor Shuangshui Village.

One of the biggest reasons is that Sun Yuting was an advanced figure at that time because of the slogan shouted very loudly.

In the city, she was just a mediocre girl, without any shining points, not even a formal job.

In Shuangshui Village, she became the wife of the director of the Poverty Management Committee, and became a model, and therefore became the women's director of Shuangshui Village.

It is said that He Fengying's feelings for Sun Yuting are simple and do not mix any interest factors, but in fact, she is just satisfying her superior vanity.

Sun Yuting took a deep puff of the cigarette pouch pot, sighed and said: "Fengying, today I met with that Director Li of the rolling mill, and I feel that this help may be a good thing for Shuangshui Village, but it is not necessarily beneficial to us. ”

He Fengying was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sun Yuting with a frown: "Old Sun, what's going on, you have to explain it clearly." ”

In Shuangshui Village, although their family is poor, Sun Yuting is the director of the Poverty Management Committee, and He Fengying is the women's director.

Therefore, although He Fengying's life is difficult, she is happy.

Now that the comrades from the rolling mill have come, they have threatened their position, so what's the deal?!

Sun Yuting smoked a cigarette pouch and pot, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said slowly: "None of our villages have been helped here, but when I had a meeting in the county, I heard from the director of a poverty management committee in a distant township. Something like this kind of help is actually a face-saving job.

After those people in the city gave the food to our poverty management committee, and then pulled their legs and left, we got face, and people returned to the city to accept the praise of their superiors, which is called great joy.

After all, we have a hard time here, and the people in the city are expensive, who will suffer with us here?

But this Li Weidong is different.

He firmly held the grain in his hands and was ready to distribute it himself.

It's obvious that he is ready to meddle in the affairs of our Shuangshui Village. ”

Hearing this, He Fengying frowned: "This is a problem, now our Shuangshui Village is short of food, whoever controls the food will have the right to speak in the village, and he will be able to win the villagers over." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly sneered and patted Sun Yuting on the shoulder: "Old Sun, but you don't have to worry too much, Li Weidong is the leader of the city, and he will definitely not stay in Shuangshui Village, and you will have to distribute the food at that time."

I think he's just a hairy kid, just trying to be in the limelight.

You, just wait and see what happens, give him the opportunity to be in the limelight, and when he touches the nail, he will naturally leave.

Our Shuangshui Village is what he can do with a hairy boy. ”

The situation in Shuangshui Village is complicated, there are three big families alone, not to mention scoundrels like Wang Manyin.

"Daughter-in-law, you are becoming more and more qualified as a student, and you can even be a teacher for me." When Sun Yuting heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and when he looked at He Fengying again, he felt that his daughter-in-law was actually quite good-looking.

He Fengying has a square face, a high forehead, a garlic nose, and a pair of small eyes, even in Shuangshui Village, she can't take it.

The reason why Sun Yuting married her back then was because she was from the city, and because she didn't want a bride price.

"Dead ghost, what are you seeing, don't you know?"

He Fengying noticed Sun Yuting's blazing gaze, her little face flushed slightly, she stood up and blew out the oil lamp, and took the initiative to take him to the ondol.

On the other side, the commune quarters.

As the night wore on, the barking of dogs in the countryside faded away, and the whole world fell silent.

Li Weidong put down the book, yawned, and prepared to go to bed.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock at the door.

Li Weidong put his hand on his back and was about to step forward to open the door.

I saw Pengzi walking in from outside with two people.

Obviously, Pengzi, as a 'bodyguard', was very alert, and in order to be afraid that the two of them would come in the middle of the night, which would be unfavorable to Li Weidong, so after hearing the movement, he immediately moved.

Pengzi was strong, and when he was in the capital, he also went to Huling to worship a famous teacher and learned a good martial arts.

It was just an instant that the two of them were restrained.

The two are old and young, the older one is Sun Yuhou from Shuangshui Village, and the younger one is his daughter Sun Lanhua.

Sun Yuhou is a standard old farmer, no culture, no camping, a lifetime of hard work in the loess slopes diligently, whether it is serving tobacco or soybeans, he lowered his head, arched his body, riveted enough to dig food in the soil, to feed the family.

He was dressed and dressed like an old peasant, with a towel on his head, his swarthy face chapped by the scorching sun, and wrinkles on his forehead, like the ridges of a field. Sun Yuhou is in his forties this year, but he looks like he is in his fifties, his waist is already rickety, and his eyes are cloudy.

Sun Yuhou entered the room, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't make any sound, just when Li Weidong wanted to ask him.

Sun Yuhou suddenly fell to his knees with a pop, his head slammed against the green bricks, making a dull sound, and a chilling sound came out of his dry throat.

"Leader, please, please save my two children."

"Uncle, what are you doing here, hurry up." Li Weidong hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to support Sun Yuhou.

For Sun Yuhou, Li Weidong still respects him, this man on the Loess Plateau seems to have no great ability, and he has been digging in the field all his life, just like a handful of loess from the Loess Plateau, so simple, so obscure.

However, it was precisely because of his hard work that he brought up his younger brother Sun Yuting, Sun Shao'an and Sun Shaoping, and also let them go to school.

wiped Wang Manyin's ass countless times and took care of Sun Lanhua's family.

Sun Yuhou has already depicted the word responsibility shiningly, and he is a standard Chinese old father.

When Pengzi saw Li Weidong's movements, he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Sun Yuhou's arm, and helped him to the chair next to him.

Pengzi looked at Sun Yuhou and said: "Uncle, no matter what happens to you, you can't kneel, you don't want to think about yourself, you should also think about Director Li, if Director Li kneels to you today, if it spreads, won't it be riding on the head of the people?" You're trying to make Director Li make a mistake. ”

"Ah, yes, yes."

Li Weidong saw that he was in a hurry, and he was not polite, so he asked directly: "Uncle Sun, what happened to let you touch it in the middle of the night." ”

"That's right, my grandson Shao'an." Sun Yu was clumsy in words, and in a hurry, he couldn't explain clearly for a while.

Li Weidong asked Pengzi to pour tea for Sun Yuhou, and turned to look at Sun Lanhua.

Sun Lanhua seemed to be a little timid, and after entering the house, she didn't say a word, her face turned pale, and her teeth bit her lips.

"Girl, your name is Sun Lanhua, right? Can you tell me a little bit about what's going on? Li Weidong tried to make his tone sound as smooth as possible.

Sun Lanhua didn't expect Li Weidong, the leader from the capital, to be so approachable, and this will gradually ease up, pulling the corners of her clothes with both hands, and telling what happened tonight.

She walked dozens of miles with Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping, came to the original West County Town, and came to the pigeon market in the dark, ready to sell the grain.

As soon as I entered the pigeon market, I met a young man wearing a duck spoon hat, who was willing to pay two cents a pound to buy the Sun family's grain.

This price is also the normal price in the pigeon market, but you must know that the Sun family's grain was taken out of a rat hole, and it was mixed with a lot of rat feces and dust.

The duck spoon hat is willing to pay such a high price, and the Sun family is naturally very happy.

But.

Duck Spoon Hat said that the money was kept at home, and he wanted the Sun family to help him send the food back.

It is not surprising that people pay such a high price, and it is not surprising that the delivery is made to the door, and besides, people in the city are generally more expensive, and this duck spoon hat looks weak and unwinded, and he has never done heavy physical work.

The Sun family agreed without hesitation, followed the duck spoon hat out of the pigeon market, walked along the street for more than ten minutes, and came to a compound.

The duck spoon hat told the three of them to wait here, they forgot to bring the key, and they had to return to the unit to get the key.

After the duck spoon hat left, Sun Shaoping felt that something was wrong, worried that there was fraud in it, and wanted to hide next to him.

But the honest Sun Shaoan felt that he had promised to wait here, if he left now, he would definitely be unhappy, and he should keep his promises.

Although Sun Shaoping had an idea, he couldn't resist Sun Shaoan, so he could only stand outside the compound and wait.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound in the distance, and the duck spoon hat who had just left rushed over with a dozen comrades in uniform.

Sun Shaoping realized that something was wrong at that time, and pulled Sun Lanhua to turn around and run, but halfway through the run, he found that Sun Shaoan did not follow.

turned his head and found that Sun Shaoan couldn't run fast with the grain bag.

Sun Shaoping stomped his feet in a hurry and asked Sun Shaoan to throw away the grain bag, but the food in the bag was dug out of the mouse hole by the brothers and sisters, and it was Sun Shaoping's tuition, how could Sun Shaoan be willing to give it?

Sun Shaoping had no choice but to turn back and help Sun Shaoan.

At this time, Sun Shaoan was a teenager, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't compare to an adult, and he was still carrying a heavy bag.

Within a few minutes, the young men in uniform with the duck spoon hat caught Sun Shaoan.

Sun Shaoping could have escaped, but in order to help Sun Shaoan, he was also arrested.

Sun Lanhua was very scared at the time, and when she found that the two brothers had not followed, she turned her head and found that the two had been arrested.

Sun Shaoping shouted at the top of his throat, telling Sun Lanhua to leave them alone and hurry home.

Sun Lanhua knew Sun Shaoping's thoughts, gritted her teeth, turned around and ran into the darkness, and returned to Shuangshui Village overnight.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he was stopped by Wang Manyin.

Sun Lanhua also felt strange about Wang Manyin's appearance, if it was in the past, she might have stopped and said a few words to Wang Manyin.

But now that she was worried about the safety of the two brothers, Sun Lanhua pulled Wang Manyin away and wanted to run to the village.

was stopped by Wang Manyin.

Wang Manyin directly told Sun Lanhua that he had a way to rescue the Sun brothers, and as long as Sun Lanhua was willing to marry him, he would take action.

This kind of thing is a big deal, although Sun Lanhua has a good impression of Wang Manyin in her heart, she doesn't dare to make decisions on her own.

So after returning home, he told Sun Yuhou about Wang Manyin's request.

Sun Yuhou couldn't make up his mind.

Sun Shaoping and Sun Shaoan are in the city, and if they are caught, they will definitely be in big trouble, and they must be rescued as soon as possible.

But.

Sun Yuhou also knew that Wang Manyin was a person who couldn't support the wall in the mud, and Sun Lanhua would definitely not be happy when she married Wang Manyin.

So Sun Yuhou told the old lady of the Sun family about it.

The old lady of the Sun family is an old lady with small feet, and pink eye, her body has not been very good, the medicine does not leave her body, and she is half paralyzed on the kang.

But the Sun family is respectful to the old lady of the Sun family, in addition to family affection, the most important factor is that the old lady of the Sun family looks confused, but she is very shrewd in her heart, and she can always point out the way for the Sun family at every critical time.

The Sun family can become a big family, and the more prosperous it becomes, it is inseparable from the old lady of the Sun family.

After hearing this, the old lady of the Sun family, who had never expressed her opinion on family affairs, immediately opposed marrying Sun Lanhua to Wang Manyin in exchange for Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping.

Sun Yuhou is also inclined to this approach in his heart, but he can't watch Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping being arrested.

So I thought about begging Sun Yuting.

Sun Yuting has a good relationship with the Tian leaders in the city, and may be able to rescue the two brothers.

The old lady of the Sun family saw through her second son, and said that Sun Yuting would definitely not come forward, and instead of wasting time on him, it was better to beg Li Weidong from the capital.

That's why Sun Yuhou kowtowed as soon as he entered the door.

Hearing the whole thing, Li Weidong's eyes widened suddenly.

Good guy, the old lady of the Sun family is a powerful person, she lies in bed all day long, but she knows the big things in the world.

He reached out and took the enamel jar handed over by Pengzi, and took a sip of hot tea to dispel the chill on his body.

"Uncle, what the old lady said is right, even if you promise to make Sun Orchid the price Wang Manyin, Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping can't let it out."
