15. God-man

Xiao Zhengping met Uncle Xi'er today!

Xi'er Uncle Deng Guixi is a god in the team, no children, no daughters, no worries, and his favorite thing to do all day long is to carry a lead gun up the mountain to drive wild boars.

I heard from the people in the team that Deng Guixi was a person a long time ago, he didn't do anything, and when he was in the commune, because he didn't work, he went to the stage a few times, but Deng Guixi didn't care - he couldn't be hungry anyway.

Regarding Deng Guixi's attitude that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, the team has nothing to do with him, so in the end they have to let him go.

Everyone in the team knows that Deng Guixi's range of activities is generally in the mountains further north of the back mountain, so when Xiao Zhengping saw Uncle Xi'er, he knew that he had walked out of the range of the back mountain.

"Uncle Xi'er!" Xiao Zhengping shouted, and then trotted over.

Deng Guixi doesn't like to talk, he had seen the other party before Xiao Zhengping found himself, and after hearing Xiao Zhengping's shout, he threw the lead gun behind his back, and then squatted down on the spot, waiting for Xiao Zhengping to run closer.

"Uncle Xi'er, why don't you make a sound, I thought I met a koala!"

Deng Guixi slowly took out a cigarette pouch, rolled a cigarette roll for himself, and angrily pouted at the basket behind Xiao Zhengping, and asked, "Picking mushrooms?" ”

"Hmmm! Uncle Xi'er, you carried me home that day, I haven't thanked you yet, when you go to my house, let's have two drinks? ”

"I have to cross the Erlang Bridge to go to your house, I'm too lazy to go."

"Then I'll go to your house."

"Okay!"

"Uncle, how's the harvest?"

"Hunger doesn't die."

"Hey, uncle, there are people in the township supply and marketing cooperatives who collect wild things, why don't you get a little more to sell them? I've seen it, and the price is not low. ”

"Too lazy to run."

Everyone in the team knows that Deng Guixi doesn't like to talk, so Xiao Zhengping doesn't care and is not in a hurry.

"Uncle, if you are too lazy to run, I will run for you, and we will divide the money when the time comes."

Deng Guixi was stunned, "You want to sell wild things?" ”

Xiao Zhengping smiled, "What's the matter, you still don't want to?" ”

"It's one thing to eat this wild thing, it's another thing to sell it, we all rely on the mountains to eat, but don't offend the mountain god."

Uncle Xi'er's words surprised Xiao Zhengping, he never thought that this extremely superstitious thinking would make Uncle Xi'er's behavior so advanced.

"Hey, I'm kidding you, even if you want me or not, it's bloody, and you have to make a fuss when you go down the mountain. Hey, uncle, seriously, do you know what Linzhi is? ”

"Nyingchi? What is Nyingchi? ”

In fact, Linzhi is not in the list provided by He Yongfu, it is completely Xiao Zhengping's own thoughts, in the little knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine in his previous life, Xiao Zhengping remembered that the growth environment of Linzhi is very similar to that in this mountain, so he wondered if he could try his luck.

"Why don't I tell you, it's just a fungus, you don't know it. By the way, uncle, are you familiar with this mountain? ”

Speaking of the mountain, Deng Guixi's face relaxed, and he even looked a little proud, "That is, if you want to say what kind of value is in the supply and marketing cooperative, I don't understand, but if you want to say where there are koalas and leopard dens in this mountain, I am clear." ”

"Or, in the future, I will follow you to learn to walk the mountain (patrol the mountain)?"

Deng Guixi looked Xiao Zhengping up and down, and said with a smile: "Walking the mountain is not as good as going to the table, can you afford it?" ”

"Hehe, uncle, I haven't been on the table for a few days, and I won't be on it in the future. You see that I can't smoke, and I don't even have a smoke stove at home, so you can take me around the mountains. ”

"Okay, if you have that heart, you can wait for me here when you come. But I've got to get to the end of the ugly, and I'm not going to wait for you. ”

Xiao Zhengping nodded, "Okay, then we will make up our minds." ”

Deng Guixi finished smoking, put out the cigarette butt with a mouthful of saliva, and then turned around and left.

After going down the mountain, Xiao Zhengping took the mushrooms he picked and sold them for eighteen yuan and four cents, bought a pack of cigarettes for He Yongfu, and then went to the guest house next to the township government.

......

Faced with a large table of good food and good food, Yang Guangsheng really had no appetite, as the leader in charge of agriculture in the county, he knew very well that these meals were worth a few months' expenses of an ordinary rural family.

Although a few years ago, the higher-level leaders demanded the implementation of the production responsibility system, and the county also rolled it out in an all-round way, in fact, many members of the team were opposed.

It is precisely because of these opposing attitudes that the responsible persons below are also indecisive, so that the big pot of rice is nominally smashed, but secretly, many rural areas are still living the life of the original commune.

Shide County is the poorest county in the whole region, because 80% of the county is mountainous, so there is not much land that can be used to grow food, and the local farmers mostly take tea and flue-cured tobacco as their main crops, and then mix a little rice and corn as rations.

Yang Guangxing, a local, knew that if he wanted to feed the peasants, he had to carry out drastic reforms.

In the past two days, he went to the countryside to investigate, but he was very dissatisfied with the results of the investigation, the farmers still had not enough to eat, and the person in charge below still violated the production responsibility system.

"Comrades, there are still people in the countryside who are eating bran, and there are even people who can't even eat bran, how can you eat such a big fish and meat?!" Yang Guangxing put his hands behind his back, leaned out half of his body and looked around at the food on the table, and then looked at the township-level cadres who were arranging seats.

"Leader, it's rare for you to come to our township once, and this research is so hard, we also want to receive you well, just this one, one meal, not an example." One of them, whose hair was gray but neatly combed, said with a smile.

Yang Guangxing is not pedantic, although he is very unhappy, he still has to give some face.

"Okay, let's talk about it, let's not take it as an example, we will eat in the canteen in the future, and I will eat whatever I eat in the canteen. But I won't drink today, let's pull and pull the next step while eating. ”

After speaking, Yang Guangxing finally sat down, he pressed his hand at everyone, and the others sat down.

Halfway through the meal, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and it seemed that someone was arguing.

Yang Guangxing sat on the top seat, and he could just see the waiter pushing with a young man from the door.

Someone got up and tried to close the door, but Yang Guangxing stopped him.

Yang Guangxing put down his chopsticks and walked out of the door, and the others also walked out.

"What's going on?" He walked over to the two arguing men and asked the waiter.

The waiter said: "A poor boy wants to order a table of dishes in our guest house, I said that it is inconvenient for the leader to eat, he has to do it, I asked him to wait a while, and he quarreled." ”

"Can't leaders order food when they eat? How? Do you think of me as the emperor of the soil, or the landlord is old and rich? Yang Guangxing asked with a smile on his face but not losing his majesty.

"Leader, I didn't mean that, I~~" The waiter panicked.

Yang Guangxing patted the waiter's shoulder, "Okay, don't you have any business?" Let's go and order food! ”

The waiter took Xiao Zhengping to the counter to order a table of dishes, and Yang Guangxing saw Xiao Zhengping take out a large stack of banknotes from his pocket, so he stayed with great interest and waited until they finished ordering the dishes.

Xiao Zhengping didn't know this leader, but he learned from the waiter's mouth that this was a senior official, and when he saw people staring at him behind his back, he immediately realized that the leader must have something to ask him.

After paying, Xiao Zhengping turned around, smiled at the leader and walked over.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Although Yang Guangxing is only in his thirties, he habitually asks questions in a condescending tone, as if asking a junior.

"Leader, my name is Xiao Zhengping, and I am from the Zhangshuya Brigade."

"May I ask you who this is for?"

Xiao Zhengping was stunned for a moment, he didn't know the position of this leader, this is not easy to answer, and if he is not careful, He Yongfu will be harmed.

"Leader, this is for myself, I~~ my family is doing errands, and I want to invite a few friends to have a meal."

Yang Guangxing glanced around at the other people who came over, and said with a smile: "Yo, your township is quite fashionable, and all the people at home have come to the guest house for errands?" ”

After everyone's laughter subsided, Yang Guangxing asked again: "Look at how you are dressed, how did you get the money to treat you?" ”

When Xiao Zhengping heard this, he was unhappy, "Leader, you can't judge people by their appearance, and you can't make money if you don't dress well?" ”

"Oh, yes, I apologize to you, you can't judge people by their appearance. I'm just curious, other people can't even eat enough, but you have the money to treat you to dinner? Can you tell me how you earned your money? ”

One sentence stunned Xiao Zhengping when he asked again, Xiao Zhengping's eyes were dodgy, and he didn't know how to answer.

Yang Guangxing naturally knows Xiao Zhengping's concerns, at present, the common people have too many concerns, and they can't eat enough.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask." Yang Guangxing patted Xiao Zhengping on the shoulder, and turned around to signal everyone to go back to eat.

After Xiao Zhengping left, he inquired about Xiao Zhengping's origin, but no one here knew, so he ordered to check Xiao Zhengping's situation.
