Big leaders go to the countryside

Author: Mahjong Jun

Big leaders go to the countryside

Looking at Gangzi's proud and praising smile, Li Xiujuan understood.

No wonder that man allowed his younger brother to work tirelessly to fry crayfish on such a hot day!

She smiled too.

This is a good thing, isn't it?

When Zhao Wenmu came home today, he was refreshed and energetic. He was completely different from yesterday. Zhao Jing was amazed and really thought he had adapted!

"Brother, why do you look so relaxed today?"

"Haha, sister, I met a little guy today, the guy I beat up last time. I tricked him into frying crayfish today! Hahahaha!"

Zhao Wenmu's hearty laughter spread outside the yard, and Liu Sufang, who was walking home, shook her head when she heard it.

How stupid this person is!

"Sister, come and help me with the handle and pass the bucket down for me."

Zhao Wenmu jumped on the mule cart and handed the electric fan, crayfish bucket, and pot to Zhao Jing below.

He carried the last bucket himself.

Zhao Jing looked around and saw four bottles of beer inside.

Her face suddenly turned red and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Wenmu.

"Sister, do you still want to drink beer tonight?"

Zhao Wenmu lowered his head, put his head next to her ear, and asked softly.

"No, no more drinking!"

Zhao Jing was like a frightened rabbit, jumping all the way away.

Drinking beer and blowing the fan, Zhao Wenmu ate dinner leisurely and felt that his life was really comfortable.

Zhao Jing regarded beer as a scourge and hid far away.

"The college entrance examination is in a few days. My mother asked my eldest brother to deliver meals to my little sister starting tomorrow."

Dinner these days has been cooked by Zhao Jing or Liu Sufang. It was already dark when Zhao Wenmu returned home, and usually the villagers had already finished their dinner by this time.

Zhao Jing was always waiting for him to get home and eat together.

Yesterday, when Zhao Wenmu was catching crickets, he came across a few large river clams. He kept them at home for more than a day and allowed them to spit out the sediment.

Today he went home and simply made a clam and tofu soup.

Refreshing and pleasant, perfect for summer.

Zhao Jing served Zhao Wenmu a bowl and said with some longing:

"My little sister will be the first college student in our family! Don't you know what college is like?"

Zhao Wenmu took the soup, looked at Zhao Jing's shining eyes, smiled and said:

"Sister, you will be the second college student in our family from now on. When the time comes, I will take you to the capital to see Peking University and Tsinghua University. You will know what universities are like!"

"Okay, okay! I'm going to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising, and to the Badaling Great Wall. If you don't visit the Great Wall, you're not a true man! And there's more."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jing was in high spirits and her eyes were full of excitement.

"good!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Jing asked Zhao Wenlin to give her little sister shoes and headbands made by herself, hoping to bring good luck to Zhao Wenqiu.

Li Saner brought his brother, younger brothers, sisters and a group of younger brothers. Zhao Wenmu arranged for a few people to take them to pick mushrooms in the contracted mountain.

At noon, he and Zhao Wenyuan were walking home carrying two large baskets of crabs. From a distance, they saw a man standing outside the mushroom drying yard, looking around, and picking up a few mushrooms to look at from time to time.

Liu Sumei and Zhao Jing were cooking in the kitchen and did not notice what was going on here.

Starting today, the people brought by Li San'er will have lunch here.

"Third brother, what's going on with that guy? How about I drive him away?"

Zhao Wenyuan was worried that someone would come to cause damage.

"You move the crabs back first, and I'll go over and take a look."

Zhao Wenmu signaled Zhao Wenyuan to put them down. The two placed two large baskets of crabs on the ground, and Zhao Wenyuan moved them back one basket at a time.

"Comrade, what can you do?"

Zhao Wenmu asked politely.

This man was about forty years old and was dressed simply. His old-fashioned blue people's uniform had been washed white, and his trousers and shoes were stained with a lot of mud.

It seems that he fell down by the river and was a little embarrassed.

He has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looks both bookish and majestic.

One look at his face and hands, and you can tell he is not someone who works in the fields.

In fact, when he turned around, Zhao Wenmu was already shocked.

Because he knows this person, he is often seen on TV.

In his previous life, he was more or less a respectable person, but he was not even a little shrimp in front of this person. He had never even met this person in person.

This is Liu Qingshan, who took charge of a party before he was fifty years old and was a real frontier official.

In the next ten years or so, he rose to prominence and truly became a highly respected official.

"Ah, hello, comrade! My name is Liu Lushui, and I am a teacher stationed in Shiji Commune from the county."

Liu Qingshan patted the mud on his pants and said.

Zhao Wenmu took a closer look and saw that he was right, it was Liu Qingshan!

Only Liu Lushui would believe you! Where is the teacher?!

He recalled carefully, yes, it seems that it was at this time that Liu Qingshan was transferred from Changwei area to Quancheng City.

From the third-ranked deputy director of the administrative office in Changwei area, he was promoted to executive deputy mayor of Quancheng City.

The administrative level of Quancheng City is half a level higher than that of Changwei District.

What’s more important is becoming a member of the permanent membership, which is a sure promotion!

"Brother Liu, my name is Zhao Wenmu. Have you eaten yet? Why don't you come to my house for a casual meal?"

This big shot doesn't know why a person appears here, but that's not important. Sending him away properly is the most important thing!

Just when Liu Qingshan was about to say something, his stomach began to growl in disgrace.

The sound was long and long, which made him feel embarrassed.

I can't help it, I don't know where I lost my wallet.

In order to have a more realistic understanding of the situation in Quancheng City, he asked his secretary to bring things to report to the city hall, and he walked and watched by himself, slowly coming all the way from the Changwei area.

As a result, his wallet was lost this morning, and he thought that this expedition would be over.

After planning to visit the next village, he went to Pingyang County, contacted the county government, and asked someone to take him to the city.

"Well, then I'll trouble Brother Xiao Zhao."

Liu Qingshan chuckled and touched his belly.

Zhao Wenmu made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them went straight to Zhao Wenmu's house.

"Brother Xiao Zhao, why does your production team dry so many mushrooms?"

Along the way, Liu Qingshan was, to be honest, a little disappointed and frustrated.

The agricultural and rural areas in Quancheng City are not as good as those in Changwei area, and the living standards of farmers are generally very poor.

The wheat harvest has just ended, and steamed buns are no longer available in some villages.

Moreover, there is a slack time in farming at the moment, and every village is full of idle people.

Everyone had nothing to do, lying under the shade of the trees for most of the day. Without work, there was no income. Naturally, they were reluctant to eat, so they drank only two thin meals a day.

Many children are eight or nine years old and have not yet gone to school, so they just run around the village naked.

Liu Qingshan felt very anxious.

However, as soon as he entered Shanqian Village, he felt something different.

First of all, there are no idle people lying around under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

There is only one couple harvesting mushrooms.

It was almost noon, and villagers kept coming to sell mushrooms, and everyone had sweat and smiles on their faces.

Mushrooms cost 6 cents per pound.
