"Cough, cough!"

Li Wen pinched his itchy neck and coughed a few times, which made all the elders excited.

"Fourth Master, when I came back this time, I saw card games and gambling all over the place. Many of them were played for just a few cents, and I even heard that in some places, the game was worth dozens of yuan a night.

I would like to ask, are these the same simple, hard-working and frugal folks from Sanxing Village that I remember?

That's it for the elderly. You have dedicated your whole life and it's time to take a rest. But what about the young people? They are doing nothing everywhere. Today they dare to play with a few cents, and tomorrow they dare to play with a few yuan or dozens of yuan.

I don’t know if there will be any second-rate people and gamblers from the commune or even the county coming to the village, but if this continues, Sanxing Village will become fat in the eyes of these second-rate people.

They would take the opportunity to lure the villagers into gambling, so that the villagers could not focus on the fields and work all day long.

In the end, the result of gambling is to sell cars and houses, dissipate all the family wealth, take out loan sharks, sell children and daughters, and then the family will be ruined." Li Wen said alarmingly.

After listening to Li Wen's words, each of the elders couldn't help but feel chills on their backs and goosebumps on their arms.

"Awen, you are exaggerating!"

After a while, my second uncle Li Dezhong answered.

"Second uncle, is this exaggeration?"

"Then when I went to Shouhou's house today, I discovered that his house still had a thatched roof.

Today I walked all the way and there was no house with a thatched roof. Even the mud houses with mud walls were covered with tiles at the worst.

And Shouhou is wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket, and the good guy has at least forty or fifty patches on his body, so where did his family’s money go?" Li Wen asked rhetorically.

"Hey! You're talking about a skinny monkey! Oh, you're just a rotten kid.

In 1966, your uncle got a daughter-in-law. She was fine at first and made a lot of money every year. In the past few years, for some unknown reason, she got into the habit of playing cards and drinking.

Being away from home all day long, your uncle and your aunt lost all the money they had earned, and within two years they had all their wives run away.

Originally, your uncle and your aunt said that because their younger son was still young and they could still do it, they wanted to help him, but now they are so angry that they have moved out to live with their older son.

Nowadays, I can live alone for a day, so I’ll be fine if I don’t starve to death." Li Dezhong sighed and cursed.

After Li Dezhong finished speaking, everyone was silent. After a while, he was stunned. It turned out that his nephew was right.

Among them, except Li Wen, whose father is the deputy director of the brigade, the fourth master has been a village cadre all his life, and the fourth master's youngest son is also the deputy director of public security in the village.

Everyone not only has to live a good life in their own family, but also takes responsibility for the people in the village. To take a step back, we are all ancestors and relatives of the clan. It is not good for them if the clan members become second-rate.

"Fourth Master, I have been away from home these years. Logically speaking, it is not my junior's turn to talk about these things. However, this time I came back and saw that the village was full of card players, and my back was wet.

I have been living in Hong Kong Island for many years. Next door to Hong Kong Island is the famous gambling island. In the past few years, I have seen many people who lost their wealth due to gambling.

Just now my second uncle also said that Shouhou turned out to be a good kid and quite capable, but he was harmed by gambling.

Today I went to Shouhou’s house to play cards and saw at least a dozen people playing cards at Shouhou’s house. When I came out in the afternoon, Shouhou invited me to go gamble in a big place.

I'm sure he told me more than one person about this situation. Think about it, if there are several or even a dozen skinny monkeys like this, will our village still have this reputation?

When people ask about Sanxing Village, they will say that it is a gambling village and the men are all second-rate. You tell me, who will dare to marry a woman to our village?" Li Wen continued to pursue the victory.

After Li Wen finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This was like a snake beating seven inches!

"Xiao Wen is right, he is indeed the Qilin son of our old Li family, he sees the long term.

First of all, I would like to make a review here. In the past few years, life in the village has been better, but it is indeed a bit tense.

When you say this, is it better to listen to what you say than to study for ten years?

Our village really doesn't dare to go on like this anymore, and we really need to rectify it.

Don't dare to continue this trend, otherwise you will make money quickly, and you will lose even faster if you have the habit of gambling." Li Juncai frowned and took a deep breath and said. (Ha, it's bad.)

After the old man finished speaking, Li Deyou and others nodded in sympathy, expressing their agreement and support.

"Since the consequences are so serious, I will now organize a meeting of brigade cadres to discuss this matter and draw up a charter.

Xiaowen, there will be a meeting soon, so you will come with me. You have a broad vision and a long-term view. I want you to tell everyone." Just do what you say, and the old man is still so resolute.

"Okay, I'll go with you when the time comes and listen to the leaders' teachings." Li Wen joked with a smile.

"You boy!"

After the old man finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the brigade headquarters. He wanted to contact the current brigade secretary, Li Degen, the uncle of the Li Wen clan.

Less than twenty minutes later, the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters began to hiss.

"Hey, hey! Let me know, let me know.

Brigade cadres and team captains are attentive. Brigade cadres and team captains are attentive.

Come to the brigade headquarters at five o'clock for the meeting, and you won't be absent if you have nothing to do. Come to the brigade headquarters at five o'clock for the meeting, and you won't be absent if you have nothing to do."

After the shouting, red songs and Qin opera began to play on the loudspeaker. This was a constant reminder to everyone, and at the same time, it also allowed the members to listen to the opera and enrich their cultural life.

Li Wen and his father chatted at home for more than twenty minutes. Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Wen and his father went out and walked towards the brigade headquarters.

The conference room of the Sanxing Village Production Brigade was filled with smoke, and all the village cadres fell silent after listening to Li Wen's suggestions on village style.

Seeing that some people were supportive and some were slack, Li Wen directly brought up the banner of economic sanctions to intimidate everyone.

Although some village cadres did not care about what Li Wen said about the village customs, when they heard that the money-making jobs in the village might be lost, they were all frightened with chills running down their backs.

In recent years, Sanxing Village has received special foreign exchange orders from Li Wen. Village cadres like them have benefited from it and have a lot more power. If Sanxing Village loses this job, it may be difficult in the future.

.

Regardless of how prosperous Sanxing Village is now, if there is no Shangfang Sword to earn foreign exchange to protect the Sanxing Village brigade, many of the mechanical tractors they own may not be retained. This is how society is.

The subsequent meeting went surprisingly smoothly. The village cadres unanimously approved the old man's proposal to rectify the village atmosphere, and some even proposed very severe crackdowns.

Next, a group of village cadres sat together to discuss the rules and regulations. Li Wen also made suggestions from time to time, plus some opinions on public security and development for future generations.

The next morning, a village rule advocating civility and establishing new practices was posted on the production team's bulletin board, and the village clerk continued to issue warnings and propaganda on the loudspeakers in the village.

At first, most people in the village didn't care, but after several severe attacks from village cadres and militia, they gradually woke up and understood that the village was serious about this.

"Brother Wenzi, brother Wenzi!"

Li Wen was wandering around the village when he heard someone not far away calling him again. He turned around and saw that it was the little guy Li Dan.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Wen stopped and asked with a smile.
