"Then it's settled. If nothing happens at home, I will be back before noon."
Lanhua also forced herself to pretend to be strong. If her younger brother Sun Shaoan or Wang Manyin were around, Lanhua would still prefer to rely on men.
Sun Shaoping is currently in Orchid Psychology. He is really not a man who can be relied on. He is still a child.
After Wang Manyin had eaten, he rushed to the team's breeding room. The most busy time for herding sheep was when shepherding sheep up the mountain and driving them back to the pen.
The crops are already growing sparsely, and if some of them are eaten by the sheep, there will be no harvest.
Once the barren hills are reached and the sheep can graze without worries, it will be much easier to herd them.
Then Yang Yi and Jianguo were left to watch the sheep, while Wang Manyin continued to water the fields.
When we came to the Dongla River again, the situation was still the same as the previous few days. Everyone on the team was watering the ground manually. Wang Manyin started fishing today. To be honest, no matter how messy Wang Manyin was, the butterfly effect could not affect the weather.
Knowing that it was going to rain, Wang Manyin would not go out of his way to water the ground with a ladle.
"Uncle Cai, do you know what Brother Mancang said at the meeting yesterday? Why did Shuangshui Village come to open our dam yesterday?"
Wang Manyin had nothing to do, so he started looking for someone to inquire about yesterday's events, hoping to understand the cause and effect.
"Manyin, you did a good job. I heard that it was you who stopped Shuangshui Village, otherwise the water in our dam would be gone. I don't know about the party secretary going to the meeting. I was busy leading people to water the fields. Where can I
You can take care of other things."
Wang Youcai said with a smile on his face that his attitude toward Wang Manyin had improved a lot, all because of his reputation gained yesterday.
"I am not the only one to take credit for it, everyone has a share. So, Uncle Cai, you can water the ground well, and I will ask other people for help."
"The crops are dying of drought. If you are not in a hurry to water the fields, look for people everywhere to find out what is going on."
"If I don't ask clearly, how do I know if the people from Shuangshui Village have come yet? Besides, the weather is sultry and muggy. I think it's going to rain."
"If you find out clearly, go back and water the ground immediately. Even if it rains half a hoe, watering the ground will not be unnecessary."
"Okay, I get it."
Wang Manyin waved his hand and continued to look for someone.
In order to move around more easily, Wang Manyin took over the job of driving bullock carts and hauling water. Since the two village party secretaries were absent, Wang Manyin naturally gained nothing.
It was almost noon when I saw Wang Mancang riding his bicycle back from the road in the direction of Shigejie.
"Brother Mancang, are you going to the Shigejie Commune?" After waiting for so long, Wang Manyin certainly couldn't let Wang Mancang go.
"Shuangshui Village sent people to open the dam at night. Can I not sue Tian Futang?"
Although Tian Futang is very popular among the leaders of Shigejie Commune, he is very disliked among the cadres at the village level.
No matter what good thing the commune does, it must first be occupied by Shuangshui Village. Of course, other village party secretaries will collectively exclude Tian Futang. Shuangshui Village can win the quota, which has a certain relationship with Tian Futang's long-sleeved dance, but it cannot be separated from Tian Futang.
There is a reason why Tang is the younger brother of the county's second-in-command. This act of not respecting martial ethics clearly violates justice. Of course, Wang Mancang will not let go of the opportunity to make Tian Futang disgraced.
"I don't care about the complaint. Yesterday I reported the situation to the commune leaders, but Shuangshui Village still insisted on going its own way and sent people to clear our dam. You went to the commune to have a meeting yesterday, and it was useless."
Wang Manyin only cared about where things went wrong, and reported the situation to the commune in vain. The purpose of delaying time was not achieved.
"There was a meeting yesterday. Two party secretaries of the commune and four village party secretaries in the Dongla River Basin were present. Xiashan Village and Shigejie Village did not agree to release water to Shuangshui Village. Our Gugang Village has little water and it is even less likely to agree. Neither do we.
He refused directly and forcefully, and even said that he would discuss it with the whole village."
"Isn't there nothing wrong with this? I didn't even say it to death."
"But Tian Futang didn't think so. He felt that our villages would not release water to them, so he decided to open the dam himself. He was afraid that our villages would be prepared. The commune held a meeting yesterday, and Tian Futang held a small meeting when he returned to Shuangshui Village. He felt
It's better to do it sooner rather than later, and arrange the action that night."
Wang Mancang said with resentment, it is not a trivial matter, it is related to the issue of rations for hundreds of people in Guan Village. Without food, people will starve to death, it is not a joke.
"Why is Tian Futang so decisive now!" This is not like the Tian Futang Wang Manyin knew.
"I'm so anxious. Not only did I go to file a complaint during today's meeting, Secretary Zhao Zhigao of Shigejie Village also went there. Jin Junwu and his people slept on the roadside in our Guan Village all night. Your second father, Sun Yuting, your cheap second father, took his people to Shigejie Village yesterday.
Gejie Huaba, Shi Gejie was arrested directly. The beating was so brutal that he all gained weight. Today, more than a dozen people from Shuangshui Village were kidnapped to the commune by people from Shigejie Village. Shuangshui Village sent people to the commune in the evening.
Regarding the human settlement issue, Party Secretary Zhao Zhigao insisted that the commune provide justice."
No matter how he listened, Wang Manyin was very excited when he heard Wang Mancang's tone, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"Lanhua's second father doesn't have any arms or legs, right?"
Sun Yuting was beaten up. To be honest, Wang Manyin was a little happy. Everything He Fengying did came from Sun Yuting's connivance. Whether he didn't dare to take care of his wife or was unwilling to take care of his wife, Sun Yuting, the younger brother, did everything in the Sun family.
not so good.
However, they are all relatives after all. On the surface, Wang Manyin still needs to care about him, otherwise he should be said to be cold-blooded in this era.
"It's okay, there was no fight, just the villagers of Shuangshui Village were caught. They were simply beaten, and those who did it were measured. Also, Party Secretary Zhao Zhigao wants to thank you, and let me tell you that you must go to them when you have time.
Village drinking.”
"There's no need to drink. Just let them thank you. I'm going to notify you in your name. My father-in-law Sun Yuhou and brother-in-law Sun Shaoping didn't go to Shige Festival to open the dam."
"Your father-in-law didn't go, so I don't know about your brother-in-law. I don't know Sun Yuhou's son either. I only know his eldest son, Sun Shaoan. But even if he goes, it will be fine. The one who will be beaten the most severely is the leader, your second father.
Sun Yuting."
No wonder Sun Yuting didn't want to get involved with Wang Manyin. Wang Manyin also felt it. It was embarrassing and embarrassing for your second father to be beaten one by one, and his second father was beaten every time.
As long as Sun Yuhou didn't go and get beaten, he really couldn't help it with his old arms and legs.
Even if Sun Shaoping did go and get beaten, it wouldn't matter if he was young and strong.
"Brother Mancang, how will this matter be handled in the end? Should our Guan Village still patrol the dam? Are Shuangshui Village convinced? Will the two villages above release water for them?"
"The leaders of the commune criticized Tian Futang! As long as it doesn't rain, we have arranged patrols all the time, and there has been a quarrel. Party Secretary Zhao Zhigao wants to hold Shuangshui Village responsible, but there is no time to discuss whether to release the water."
Tian Futang is a grassroots village party secretary, and he is still elected by the people. The commune really has nothing to do. The most he can do is circulate a notice of criticism and hold a meeting for inspection. Apart from Tian Futang losing some face, there is no real punishment.
Of course, Tian Futang's invisible loss of prestige is serious.
The power struggle in Shuangshui Village is real. Tian Futang is not old yet, but the generation has grown up. Sun Shaoan and Jin Junwu have launched a challenge to the prestige of the village party secretary.
Sun Shaoan has higher prestige than Tian Futang among the villagers named Tian, and Jin Junwu has more prestige than Tian Futang among the villagers named Jin. The failure of the water fight led by Tian Futang only made Tian Futang feel that it is better not to hold a general election now, otherwise he would
The position of the village party secretary is extremely critical.
For a middle-aged man who cares about rights, perhaps this is the most appropriate punishment.
"There are still patrols. How can Shuangshui Village kill a single person? There are only so many young adults, half of whom were fed mosquitoes all night, and the other half were beaten up. How can Shuangshui Village organize manpower?"
Wang Manyin believed that he had saved Jin Junbin's life, and his wish was fulfilled. For six centimeters, it was not worthwhile to come to the river to sleep at night. The point was patrolling, which did not create much value. The extra centimeters he earned were just a can.
The village public administration is even more worthless.
"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. The water in this dam is not water, but the lives of hundreds of people in Guangu Village. Don't be careless. Go to work quickly. Watering the ground more is better than anything else."
After saying that, Wang Mancang rode his bicycle into the village. It was uphill all the way and he didn't feel tired.
Wang Manyin drove two more trips to Niu Lashui, and finally saw Orchid walking back from Shuangshui Village.
"Uncle Cai, I have to go back to herd the sheep, so I have to leave first!"
After saying this, he greeted Orchid without waiting for a response.
"Lanhua, how are you? I asked Uncle Mancang, but our dad didn't go to the Stone Ge Festival yesterday."
"Our dad didn't go, and Shaoping didn't go yesterday because he had classmates during the Stone Ge Festival. There was nothing going on at home. I came back late because my parents were in a bad mood. They were worried about the lack of water in Shuangshui Village, so I spent more time with them.
A moment."
Sun Shaoping just didn't understand the point. He still cared about face when life and death were at stake. It was so pretentious that he escaped a beating.
They are all in a commune, and no matter where they are in the village, no one has a few acquaintances or relatives.
Others can ignore face, but Sun Shaoping refused to eat the food of Shuangshui Village and lived alone.
Wang Manyin's small world has water from a fish pond and a well. You can cheat a little bit, but for a village, it's just a drop in the bucket. The recovery of the small world is not that fast. Just put this little water into the Dongla River.
It ran dry before it reached Shuangshui Village. I watered my private plot and pig feed plot before, but the water has not been refilled for a week.
It would be okay to save the Sun family's private land, but Wang Manyin didn't go there if he didn't have time. There were so many vegetables in his own vegetable plot, and some of them were given to the Sun family, which was enough for them to eat.
During the harvest season in summer and autumn, there was no shortage of vegetables in the countryside. The reason why the Sun family was short of vegetables was that Sun Shaoan picked the vegetables and sold them all, leaving Sun Shaoping to go to Huangyuan to enjoy life.
There is no way around this. With this little income in rural areas, how can Sun Shaoping and the children of cadres in schools demand the same living conditions?
"As long as nothing happens to anyone, the leaders of the commune know it and can always negotiate a charter. And with the weather, it might rain today."
Wang Manyin walked with Lan Hua for a while, and then separated. Lan Hua went home. Wang Manyin really wanted to drive the sheep back into the circle. Things in the village couldn't just be talked about.
"Satisfied, Jianguo, were you relaxed when I was away? I asked you to herd sheep, and you herded sheep yourself."
"Brother Man Yin, how can it be easy? It's not easy to think about the work of three people being done by two people. Brother Man Yin, I heard that you went on patrol last night and captured people from Shuangshui Village. The six of you fought
There were more than a dozen people from Shuangshui Village, and they won an overwhelming victory in the end!"
"Satisfied, it's too late for you to get the news. Please tell me the version you heard."
"I heard that the six of you fought with more than a dozen people from Shuangshui Village on the dam for hundreds of rounds with various weapons. The bloody battle was unrelenting. In the end, you successfully saved the dam of our Guan Village and took away ten people from Shuangshui Village.
Several people stayed in Jar Village."
"Where did you hear this? Not to mention the bloody battle, there was no fighting. The people in Shuangshui Village stayed on their own, and they were not left behind by us."
"Wang Gangdan told me this!"
"Wang Satisfied, are you stupid? You can even believe what a seven-year-old child says. Wang Gangdan's father was there yesterday. It must be Wang Gangdan's father who coaxed the child to play. I don't know if the child believes it or not. No.
The thought made you believe it.”
These words cannot even pass through the mouth of a third person. If they are passed around, they will change beyond recognition and become rumors.
"There really wasn't a fight. How could Shuangshui Village honestly not break our dam?"
I didn't expect Wang Yiyi to be so simple. He could believe anything a seven-year-old child said. This person should just farm and herd sheep in Gujin Village. Otherwise, such a simple person would have to pay more tuition fees in the society.
"If you haven't discovered it, you will definitely not be honest. The people from our Guan Village have discovered it. There are only a dozen or so people in our territory who are not honest. What else can you do? Stop thinking about it and drive the sheep back quickly.
It’s time to go home for dinner.”
It cannot be said that Wang Yiyi is not smart. He has too little experience and is too simple and simple. Wang Manyin is now more optimistic about the quiet Jianguo, who may be more reserved.
If two people want to make a career in society, Jianguo may be more promising.
After running back and forth, when Wang Manyin returned home, Lanhua had already heated up what needed to be done, cooked what needed to be done, and had lunch ready.
The family was sitting on the kang and eating. Lanhua said with an embarrassed look: "There is one more thing that I didn't have time to tell you just now. Our dad said that the second dad was injured this time, and the injury was not serious. We may be needed."
Go and visit?”
"I know your second dad was injured. I heard Brother Mancang say that when we went to Shigejie to open the dam, your second dad was the one who took the lead. The one who took the lead was beaten by Shigejie. You said that your second dad's physique is too strong for the wind.
How can you have the confidence to take the lead in doing something like this when you can be blown away immediately?"
