When he came back from the region, Xiao Zhengping planned to find Yang Guangsheng, but when he asked, Yang Guangsheng was not there, and when he asked what he was doing and when he would come back, the doorman replied that he didn't know.

The day after returning home, Xiao Zhengping asked Zou Shusheng for a letter paper stamp, and wrote a long letter to Yang Guangsheng, writing down his recent situation, such as 10,000 households, planting fungi, and going to other towns to collect mountain goods.

In late October, the plan of the pole was finalized, and on October 27, the pole was officially put on the mountain.

In addition to a few workers at the power supply station, Zou Shusheng also arranged a few other volunteer helpers, Xiao Zhengping volunteered and pulled Chen Yan to participate.

At the beginning, everything went smoothly, Xiao Zhengping contributed his own 28 bars to deliver water and food, and also contributed an extra pack of cigarettes a day, serving several masters comfortably, and the telephone pole soon climbed up the mountain and entered the realm of residents.

But after going up the mountain, the originally planted electric pole was knocked down every now and then, which made the masters very angry.

In fact, everyone knew that Lao Ye did it, but he couldn't come up with evidence, even if the night watchman later bumped into Lao Ye and quietly touched the place where the electric pole was planted, he also quibbled and said that he would hit the rabbit.

There was no way, Zou Shusheng had to send people to stay at the intersection all night until all the poles were planted.

Of course, Lao Ye did not refuse to pull the wire to his house in the end, and he accepted the compensation for planting the electric pole.

During this period, Xiao Zhengping received a reply from Yang Guangsheng, and to his surprise, the letter was sent from the region.

The letter reads:

Comrade Xiao Zhengping:

Hello!

I'm sorry I wasn't able to accommodate you when you came to see me. In the future, you can come to me at the address on the envelope, or you can write to me like this.

In your letter, I see that you are groping for the cultivation of bamboo sunflowers, and I am very happy, this is what a young person should do. I can't help much about the cultivation of bamboo sunflower, but I have classmates who work in the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and if I have the opportunity, I can introduce you to you. If you need any books or materials, I can help.

As for the purchase of mountain goods by the trucks of the supply and marketing cooperatives you mentioned, I mean that we should be cautious, and whether the procedures are complete for individuals to use collective property? Is the process compliant? These are all questions you should think about. I told you before, don't just think about making money, you should lay a good foundation and lay a solid foundation, only with a solid foundation, you can go further and climb higher in the future.

I suggest that you don't rush to expand the scope of acquisition, first settle down and plant the bamboo sun, and then promote it to the whole township when you have the technology, and then the money will automatically drill into your pocket.

Finally, the selection of 10,000 households, from a macro point of view, is a national policy, and its purpose is to encourage others by recognizing individuals, and to lead other people who are not yet rich through your experience. Personally, it is also a unique opportunity for you to meet other wealthy people, to discuss your own experiences, and to learn from the successful experiences of others. You can also let more people know you, and if there are preferential policies in the future, the government will also give priority to you.

In every aspect, you should be actively involved in this matter, and I personally agree with it.

Xiao Zhengping, I myself have now been transferred to the regional research office, there may not be many opportunities to meet in the future, you can still consult me about policy matters, but you should be cautious in the future, don't mess up yourself.

Our country is now in a very critical period, many policies are still ambiguous, and many people still make many mistakes. But don't be discouraged, don't be resentful, there are many obstacles in these times, but there are also many opportunities. You have to learn to judge policies and be good at seizing opportunities. Believe me, our winter has come to an end, and we will soon usher in a long and vigorous spring.

Sincerely!

Yang Guangsheng October 23, 1981

After reading Yang Guangsheng's letter, Xiao Zhengping immediately found Zou Shusheng, the branch secretary, and asked him to inquire about Yang Guangsheng.

As a result, it was learned that Yang Guangsheng had been transferred to the regional office as a director in mid-September, although it was nominally an upward promotion, but in fact he had been removed from real power, and it could be regarded as a bright rise and a secret demotion.

After learning the news, Xiao Zhengping couldn't help but feel gloomy.

All along, he regarded Yang Guangsheng as a thigh he could hold, but he forgot that Yang Guangsheng himself was in a dangerous environment. It is true that Yang Guangsheng is a good official who dares to act, and he dares to go against the trend, which proves that he has a sober mind.

But in such an era, going against the trend is obviously not welcomed by the general environment, so Yang Guangsheng's result today is almost doomed.

Now it seems that the last paragraph of Yang Guangsheng's letter is not so much written to himself, but rather to show his emotions.

Xiao Zhengping is not worth Yang Guangsheng, but he is helpless.

......

On December 13th, Hejia Mountain, which had been waiting for several years, finally ushered in the festive moment of electrification, and for electrification, the happiest were Xiao Zhengping and Chen Yan.

Almost at the moment when the power was on, the two of them installed their own TVs in unison, and that night, almost the entire brigade gathered in these two courtyards to watch TV together.

To Xiao Zhengping's surprise, Dai Xuemei also came with his father.

Seeing that the future father-in-law kicked on his door for the first time, Xiao Zhengping hurriedly stepped forward to lead the father-in-law to the "VIP area" and asked him to sit down next to the eldest uncle.

Xiao Zhengping was not interested in black-and-white television, so he went to the barn alone and added some fodder to the cows and mules.

Thanks to Xiao Kunshui's service and Xiao Zhengping's money, these three animals are now fat and strong, with glowing fur and vigorous life, which is very different from when Xiao Zhengping first bought it.

was patting the cow's head, and suddenly Dai Xuemei's voice came from behind him, "Brother Pingzi, why don't you watch TV?" ”

Xiao Zhengping turned around and smiled: "The yard is almost crowded, where is there any place." ”

Dai Xuemei walked up to the mule, who had taken her to sell tofu on the hill these days. It's relatively familiar.

"Why don't you look at it? Isn't it pretty? Xiao Zhengping asked again.

"I saw that you were not there, so I came out to look for you."

"I can't stand it if I haven't seen me for a while?"

Dai Xuemei was stunned, looked at Xiao Zhengping for a while, and finally stomped her feet with a red face, "Brother Pingzi, why don't you have a proper shape!" ”

After that, Dai Xuemei was about to run back to the yard.

Xiao Zhengping's eyes were quick, and he reached out to grab her arm and hugged her into his arms.

Dai Xuemei was shocked and ashamed, she wanted to struggle but found that she had no strength, and in the end she could only curl up in Xiao Zhengping's arms like a mouse caught by an old cat.

"Xuemei, it's me who can't stand it." Xiao Zhengping whispered in her ear.

......

On this day, it is estimated that because of the cooling weather, Xiao Zhengping sneezed non-stop, and sure enough, in the afternoon, he began to have a runny nose, and the original sneeze also turned into a cough - he caught a cold.

Carrying the 28 bars to the original commune health center, Xiao Zhengping found that in addition to Dr. Xu, Lao Ye's wife Li Saihua was also in the clinic.

Li Saihua's nose and face are swollen, one eye is so swollen that he can't open it, he doesn't have to guess, he must have been beaten by Lao Ye.

Xiao Zhengping and Lao Ye's wife are quite familiar, and after greeting each other, Li Saihua took the ointment given by Dr. Xu and left.

Doctor Xu watched Li Saihua leave, and after Li Saihua's back disappeared, he shook his head and sighed, "This bastard Lao Ye, his attack is getting less and less light, if it goes on like this, his wife will be beaten to death by him sooner or later." ”

"Hey, the team doesn't say it's in charge." Xiao Zhengping stepped forward and sighed.

"Tube? What's the matter? It is difficult for Qing officials to interrupt family affairs, can you still let them divorce? ”

"If you leave, who can't live without it?"

Doctor Xu turned his head to look at Xiao Zhengping, and smiled angrily: "You boy brother, what do you know?!" Say, what's wrong? ”

So the two began to take the pulse and prescribe medicine, and when they left, Xiao Zhengping couldn't help but ask: "Alas, Doctor Xu, Li Saihua's injury~~"

Without waiting for Xiao Zhengping to finish asking, Dr. Xu sighed and said: "Old wounds and new wounds, all over the body, hey, where can she put a few plasters on her wounds, let her go to the township health station and not go." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhengping had a plan in his heart, and after taking the medicine, he went straight to Zou Shusheng's house.

In Zou Shusheng's house, Xiao Zhengping did not shy away from telling the police the idea of arresting Lao Ye, and Zou Shusheng frowned again and again.

"Okay, okay," Zou Shusheng interrupted Xiao Zhengping impatiently after hearing the end, "You really treat yourself as a branch secretary, and you dare to take care of everything." Let me tell you, Lao Ye beating his wife is something that your father can't manage, what do you like, I don't care anyway. ”

"Branch secretary, don't blame me for speaking too straight, you now have two major achievements in building roads and pulling wires, if I evaluate 10,000 households, then you will be able to choose the village party secretary in the future. But Lao Ye wants to continue to make trouble like this, in case someone dies one day, no matter how much of your political achievements at that time, it won't work. ”

"Pingzi, I know that you don't deal with Lao Ye, and I don't deal with Lao Ye either. But you can't talk nonsense, no matter how bold Lao Ye is, I don't believe that he dares to kill people. ”

Xiao Zhengping shook his head, "It's not a question of whether you believe it or not, Li Saihua is now covered in injuries and refuses to go to the health station, Lao Ye continues to fight like this, even if he can't kill Li Saihua, one day Li Saihua will have to find a short-term vision." ”

Zou Shusheng lit a pot of cigarettes for himself, took two puffs and said, "You just put your heart in your stomach, can Li Saihua wait until now if she wants to die?" Okay, don't talk about it, it just so happens that the matter of your 10,000 yuan household has come down, and you will go to the county seat to hold a commendation meeting on New Year's Day. ”
