Sun Wufu was accompanied by his brother Sun Sixi, and the visit time was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
There is really nothing to do in the countryside in winter, not to mention it’s New Year’s Eve.
So Sun Qingyou, the former brigade secretary and now the village secretary, had finished breakfast and was leaning on the quilt on the kang, listening to Hebei Bangzi's "Wild Boar Forest" with a "small speaker".
He squinted his eyes, holding a half-burned "cannon" in one hand, holding a piece of sorghum stalk skin in the other hand, and picking out the tendons of the cabbage sticks stuffed between his teeth.
He shook his head and hummed along, his black cotton clothes covered with soot.
Secretary Sun's wife was standing in the courtyard, grabbing handfuls of chicken feed mixed with cabbage heads and bran from a chicken feed scoop, and throwing it to the ground to feed the chickens.
From time to time, chicken cries like "gu~gu~gugu, gu~gu~gugu" came out from his mouth.
Sun Wufu's hometown is very poor, and the land is sparse and thin. The whole village does not have much harvest from farming.
Because of its remoteness, information and transportation are very backward. It was only last year that electricity and light bulbs were installed.
The key is because of this, whether it is land allocation or chicken raising, Sunjia Village lags behind other villages.
However, in recent years, the country has vigorously developed large-scale chicken farms, and the price of eggs has not been as good as it was in the past two years.
Therefore, even if we catch up with the good era of reform and opening up and the country tries its best to liberalize policies in rural areas, the economic situation of Sunjia Village will not be much better than in the past. At most, it can only have enough to eat.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the village secretary’s house and street door are all made of straw.
From now on, there will be a half-meter-high movable wooden fence across the door to keep out pigs. There are only two pigs inside.
To be honest, after staying in the capital for a long time, Sun Wufu's horizons have also broadened.
When I walked here, I really couldn't believe that the home of the head of a village was still so shabby.
I couldn't help but blurt out, "Brother, are we on the right track?"
Sun Sixi patted her chest as a guarantee.
"Brother, it's right here, that's right."
At this time, Secretary Sun's wife had already heard the commotion outside. She couldn't help but stretched her head, looked outside, and asked rudely.
"Who is it? Why are you hanging around in front of my house?"
Sun Wufu didn't answer. Sun Sixi first called out "Fat Aunt" tremblingly, and then said, "It's me, Sixi, and my brother Wufu."
After calling the person, without waiting for a greeting, he took the gift and walked in consciously.
As if sending a pig's head into the temple to worship the gods, he quickly raised the things in his hand towards Secretary Sun's wife.
Then he asked a little tremblingly, "Is the secretary at home? My brother came to see him."
Secretary Sun’s wife is called “Fat Aunt” in the village.
Indeed, he lives up to his name, with a fat face full of flesh, a muscular figure, and a temperament and temper that are notoriously unkind in the village. It's no wonder that Sun Sixi has a bit of a liver tremor.
But as the old saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face, let alone someone with a smiling face who comes to give gifts.
Secretary Sun's wife looked up and down at the two brothers with her shining triangular eyes.
I saw Sun Sixi holding a large piece of pork in her left hand, which looked like it weighed seven to eight kilograms.
In his right hand is a pair of pig's trotters and four tin cans.
This is already a rare and generous gift, more generous than anyone who came to pay New Year greetings in previous years.
Then she showed a rare smile.
Looking at the other one, he was also carrying a large package of beautifully packaged pastries in his hand, and a large piece of cloth under his arm.
The key is to dress quite brightly. The cotton coat is brand new. Not only does he have a shearling hat on his head, but he also wears a pair of leather shoes under his feet.
They look just like the cadres from the county and township.
Now she couldn't figure out the situation. Not to mention that she didn't dare to stop him, she quickly went up to take the things from Sun Wufu's hand and went to let others into the house.
Then at the same time, he turned around and shouted towards the house, "Master, we have a visitor."
Secretary Sun has high prestige and style in the village, and is certainly more terrifying than Fat Auntie.
When a general meeting is held in the village, only he can go to the stage to speak wearing a cotton-padded jacket. No one else dares, for fear of stealing the limelight from the secretary. Even in the village, if anyone wearing a cotton-padded jacket is walking on the street
When you go up to Xianda and see him from a distance, you have to put on your sleeves obediently.
In front of Secretary Sun, no one can even think about walking on the shoulder!
In the village, no matter whose family quarreled with whose old woman, whose dog stole the pig food from that family.
No matter how serious the dispute between the two parties is, as long as Secretary Sun comes there with his eyes drooped and yells, "Stop fucking blindly!" then there will be no one who refuses to obey, and everyone will have to stop and go home obediently.
However, this time, when Sun Wufu walked in empty-handed and stood in front of Secretary Sun, he was not sure.
At that time, his eyes widened, and he couldn't tell who the person was. Sun Wufu's appearance made Secretary Sun think that he was not an ordinary person, and he was a little flustered.
He hurriedly threw the cigarette butt to the ground, raised his buttocks with both hands and was about to get off the bed.
As a result, at this time, Sun Sixi, who had brought meat to the kitchen, also walked in.
Sun Sixi smiled timidly, then nodded and bowed and called "Secretary".
Then he glanced at Sun Wufu, and then introduced him to Secretary Sun, "This is my brother, Wufu. He went home to celebrate the New Year this year, and I made a special trip to see you."
Secretary Sun frowned, thought for a moment, and then guessed their purpose.
So he moved back to his original position and continued to droop his eyelids.
At this time, his wife, the fat aunt, walked in, holding a tea kettle in one hand and two teacups in the other, smiling and about to speak.
Secretary Sun, however, shouted angrily and asked first.
"Why didn't you hear the dog barking?"
The fat aunt was stunned on the spot. She touched the ground under her feet and agreed without knowing why.
"Yeah? Why didn't you scream?"
Secretary Sun still groaned angrily.
"Damn, if a dog doesn't take good care of his house, why should he go to someone else's house and ask the bitch to lock it up? It's a useless thing. I won't skin this beast again."
The fat aunt now understood what was being said and knew that the visitor was an uninvited guest. The tea was not poured, so she turned around and walked out the door.
Sun Sixi is also an honest person and feels very embarrassed in such situations.
He looked at Sun Wufu with a sad expression, not knowing what to do.
It can be said that Sun Wufu has really experienced it.
He had already expected this kind of impasse, so he crept forward a few steps, took out an electronic watch from his pocket, and placed it on the kang table.
"Secretary, I have been away for several years. Over the years, I have relied on you to take care of my family. As the old saying goes, never forget the man who dug the well. When I come back from the capital this time, the thing I miss most is to say goodbye to you.
Thank you. Unfortunately, the road is difficult and I can’t carry anything too heavy, so I brought you some pastries from Beijing to try something new, and got some fabrics from Beijing to make some clothes for my aunt, and this gadget is for you.
My eldest brother, young people, you can use it to relieve your boredom."
Yawen library
Secretary Sun never expected that Sun Wufu, who had never been able to kick him in the past, would say such beautiful words, and he was greatly surprised.
Then he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the Kang table, and couldn't help but be stunned again.
Because what was displayed above was actually a rare thing that he had never seen before.
It looks very shiny and high-end, and the pure metal case is particularly delicate.
It is rare for rural people in this era to see such high-end electronic products.
So he sat up and said, "Come on, come on, what else can you get?"
I couldn't help but reach out and pick up the electronic watch, and very rarely turned it upside down to look at it.
The smooth texture of pure metal made him feel comfortable to touch.
The electronic numbers displayed on the LCD screen made him feel even more baffled.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, I still didn't understand what it was.
Sun Sixi also got a piece from her younger brother yesterday and has been playing with it all night.
Seeing the secretary dog looking at the bright stars, he didn't find it funny, so he couldn't help but show off.
"Secretary, this is a Japanese-made electronic watch. It is very fashionable in the capital now, and it is especially difficult to buy. The numbers on the watch can tell the time clearly. You can know the time, minutes, and seconds. And it can even display the year, month, and day.
.With it, there is no need for a calendar card. It is much better than looking at a desk clock or a mechanical watch."
Hearing what he said, Secretary Sun subconsciously tightened his grip and moved closer to him, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away.
Then he felt that he had lost his status, so he rolled his eyes at Sun Sixi and said, "You understand, right?"
Sun Wufu also glared at Sun Sixi, a little resentful of his brother's talkativeness.
But at this time, he also understood that it was time to stand up for himself, so he slowly sat down
Although I only dared to lean my buttocks against the edge of the wooden kang, I tried my best to pretend to be casual and said, "Hi, secretary, to be honest with you, I'm here today to see how you are doing, and secondly, I have something to trouble you with."
old."
Secretary Sun knew that something serious was about to come, so he weighed the things in his hands, and his gloomy face became a little brighter.
"Don't say it's useless. I know what's going on when you come here. Isn't it because you hit someone in the first place?"
As he spoke, he leaned against the quilt behind him again and said in a long tone.
"This thing is not easy to handle! You ran away at first, but the impact of this thing is bad, and you are registered with it. The people who were beaten are not willing to let you go, but they have always been thinking about bringing you back.
.Besides, I don’t have the final say in the village alone.”
When Sun Wufu saw him, he said to himself, "Why are you pretending to be a grandson here with me? Who in this village doesn't know that you are the eldest son?"
You old man, you've accepted so many things from me, and you're still not satisfied, and you want to rip me off, right?
But he showed a calm look on his face, because he still had a back-up plan.
"Secretary, you misunderstood. I am actually looking for you to ask you to issue a certificate so that I can go to the village to apply for an ID card. I have nothing else to do."
His nonchalant attitude was something Secretary Sun didn't expect.
"Ah? Are you here just to ask me to issue a certificate and go to the village to apply for an ID card? Are you confused? Aren't you afraid that people will sue you to the village and let the police station arrest you and file a lawsuit?"
"Why are you arresting me? When was that time? It was so chaotic back then. Many things have to be overturned and redefined now. What's more, beating people can't be slapped, and what is right and what is wrong is still unclear.
Definitely. If you think about it, we are both from our village. We both made a move and were not seriously injured. This matter does not matter today. It is just a feud between neighbors.
Can I be sued?"
Sun Wufu's logical words made Secretary Sun confused and confused, and he didn't know how to answer the conversation.
But it wasn't over yet. Immediately afterwards, Sun Wufu took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and placed it on the Kang table.
"Besides, I am also an organized person now. Even if we really want to file a lawsuit, the township will have to ask the leaders of the units first. Secretary, please take a look at this. This is my letter of introduction. Can you use it?"
A bright red, bright red seal!
The Temple of Heaven Park is even more famous all over the world!
After opening Sun Wufu's letter of introduction and carefully identifying his origin from the handwriting, Secretary Sun was really shocked and screamed out on the spot.
"What, this... is this the Temple of Heaven in Beijing? In the past, the county's projection team came to our village to show "News Briefing", and there was... the one with the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests? Many big leaders went to watch it together.
The flower one?”
Seeing how excited he was, Sun Wufu was extremely satisfied with the power of this letter of introduction.
"Yes, the secretary is knowledgeable. It's the Temple of Heaven, where the emperor used to worship heaven. But now our big leaders don't go there much, they all stay in Zhongnanhai. There are a lot more foreign tourists. What about the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Echo Wall?
, I took photos as a souvenir. To tell you the truth, I now live in the Zhai Palace in the Temple of Heaven, which is where the emperor used to live. If you want to come to the capital someday and want to visit the Temple of Heaven, you must look for me. I am here.
, don’t spend money, just shop around.”
Hearing this, Secretary Sun was even more moved and really lost his temper.
But he didn't want others to notice, so he lowered his head and touched the cigarette basket under the kang table.
When Sun Sixi saw him, he quickly took out a box of "Da Jianshe" brand cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the secretary.
Secretary Sun was very disdainful. He climbed down from the kang, took his two shoes and walked to the large cabinet opposite the kang.
Then he took out an open box of "Evergrande" brand cigarettes from behind the frame where the portrait of the great leader hung on the wall above the large cabinet.
He leaned back on the kang, deliberately pretending not to care, took out a cigarette, threw it into the arms of the two Sun brothers, and smoked one each.
When Sun Wufu hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the cigarette from his arms, he was covered in smoke and one-third of the cigarette was empty.
He was holding a cigarette in both hands that was so dry that it made a rattling sound, and he couldn't help but scratch his head a little.
This cigarette is so bad, how can I smoke it?
Turning around, he saw that his brother Sun Sixi had an idea.
Twist the empty end into a sharp point, then tap it, put it sideways to your mouth and lick it from beginning to end with the tip of your tongue, then light it up and smoke it.
He was just about to imitate something, but he didn't expect that Sun Sixi lit up the fire and inhaled, licking the saliva and the other side was completely covered with saliva.
Sun Wufu immediately gave up the idea of imitating him, he was so cursed in his heart!
What the hell is breaking the smoke, and you still have it out to entertain guests!
But even if you scold someone, you still have to show off on the surface and pretend to be grateful.
He also had to say that this cigarette was really good, the brand was loud, and he had to save it for later.
Then he quickly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, pinched out a cigarette, and then handed the entire cigarette box to Secretary Sun.
"Try this, it's worse than your Evergrande."
Secretary Sun was also pretending, holding a shelf and smoking a cigarette.
When he held the end of the cigarette and put it to his mouth, he was about to lick it, but he hesitated and pinched it a little harder.
Seeing that the cigarette butt was flat and knowing that the cigarette was not dry, he inserted the other end into his lips and held it in his mouth.
Sun Si was delighted to see this scene and hurriedly showed his courtesy. He took out a match from his pocket, struck it, held it in a semicircle with both hands and bent down to light it for Secretary Sun.
Secretary Sun held a cigarette in his mouth and said "hmm" twice, which was considered a thank you.
Then Xu squinted at the cigarette box and asked Sun Wufu, "Is this your unit's internal cigarette? Well, it's really good and strong."
The cigarettes Sun Wufu gave him were a box of Tiantan cigars.
Sold in Beijing for 30 cents per box, it is commonly known as "big black smoke" and has always been a favorite among old smokers in Beijing.
How strong is this smoke? It’s hard to describe specifically.
Anyway, when the cigarette is lit, it can make people feel like the smoke is puffing out and turning yellow.
If there are three people smoking this kind of cigarette in a room, it will be basically invisible.
The effect is similar to having a stove in the house and burning wet firewood.
To be honest, Sun Wufu actually has better cigarettes in his pocket, a box of Daqianmen, which costs 50 cents a box.
This was a trick he had learned from collecting used goods all year round. With two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, he smoked the Temple of Heaven himself and opened the front door for others.
Originally, he wanted to take it out and smoke it for Secretary Sun.
But then I thought about it, no, what Secretary Sun took out was Evergrande, and he did it like that.
I want to set up the front door. Isn’t it obvious that Secretary Gaisun is the one to do it?
So he temporarily changed the regulations and took out the Temple of Heaven that he drew.
But I didn’t expect that Secretary Sun, who was used to smoking shredded tobacco, was really satisfied with the taste of Temple of Heaven.
And he seems to be self-righteous and regards this as a special cigarette for the Temple of Heaven Park, which adds a little more importance to Sun Wufu.
This can not but be said to be a small stroke of luck.
