Snow, fluttering snowflakes, falling from the sky.
From early in the morning until Yue Wen got up, he looked around and saw that the entire Luoyan Mountain was shrouded in heavy snow, and the Jinji Ridge in front of him was slowly covered in silver, making it even more enchanting.
He cooked two steaming packets of instant noodles on the induction cooker and rewarded himself with two packets of eggs. Yue Wen was eating with relish when Hu Kailing burst in with the wind and snow. Just as Yue Wen was about to talk to him, his cell phone rang.
.
He looked up and saw that the clock on the wall was only a little past seven-thirty. Could there be any changes? Hu Kailing was also looking at him, and when he picked up the phone, it was Priscilla Ge.
"What? Are you coming to Jinji Ling? Are you already in the car? No, I have something to do." He never mentioned the dangers of Jinji Ling to Priscilla Ge. As a man, he only keeps the dangers and difficulties in his heart.
Leave flowers and brocade to women.
"Don't you often tell me about Jinjiling or that? Today I'm going to come and take a look," Ge Huixian didn't take it seriously, but said coquettishly, "By the way, I'll take a look at you, the big secretary!" After that, she
Laugh yourself first.
"There's really something going on today, there's a meeting in the village!" Yue Wen was a little anxious.
Priscilla Ge giggled, but her voice lowered, "You don't miss me? Do you think I'm embarrassing you? Haha." She was not really annoyed.
Yue Wen looked at Hu Kailing, but Hu Kailing smiled and said, "Let your sister-in-law cook two delicious dishes at noon to feed the younger siblings."
He reluctantly put down Priscilla Ge's call. He really didn't want her to appear today. It would be fine if things went smoothly, but he knew it was impossible. He didn't want Priscilla Ge to worry about him, let alone her witness the danger here.
"It's snowing and the road up the mountain is difficult. Chi Yuanshan and Wan Jianshe are expected to arrive late. You can shout through the loudspeaker and postpone the meeting to ten o'clock." Yue Wen made arrangements and calculated the arrival of Priscilla Ge.
At that time, it seemed that he couldn't get away, so he called Bao Bao again and asked him to pick it up if he was free.
As soon as Baobao put down Yue Wen's phone, Jiang Sheng walked into the office building from the car.
Jiang Sheng sat down in the office and took a sip of hot tea, but he didn't feel as comfortable as usual. Yesterday, his daughter called again and wanted to go on a mission. For him, his daughter had gone on countless missions, but this time she was on his own.
Under his nose, although he was sure nothing would happen, he knew Shi Zhongxiao, but he was a little unsure and wished he could be there in person.
Seeing that the baby was about to go out, he asked, "You have to do one thing today. Report to me any situation at Jinji Ridge."
Chen Jiangping also arrived early, and Zhu Mingxing also received a call, "Today, please call at any time to inquire and report on the situation in Jinjiling." This was also what the person above asked him.
Liu Zhiguang also sat in the office early as usual. He was still talking and laughing and doing work.
Wang Yongping, who was far away in Jiaocheng, just asked the Jiaomei Group office to call Yue Wen at noon to see what was going on.
…
Everything seems calm and calm...
But although this scene has not officially started yet, it has already touched the minds of countless people...
………………………
………………………
The snow fell and stopped for a while, and the road was not difficult to walk. Chi Yuanshan, Wan Jianshe, Heiba, Biaozi, Silkworm and others all arrived on time. By the time Cao Lei and the police from the police station arrived, Ruan Chenggang's cross-country had already stopped at Jinji.
In front of Ling Village Committee.
But those who came earlier than them were the people of Jinjiling Village.
There are four areas clearly divided in front of the village committee. The cadres of the branch and the village committee are on site to maintain order. The people are standing in the snow. This does not matter to these farmers who are exposed to wind and rain all year round.
Some children were also on winter vacation, and they were laughing and playing without any care. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers came from the crowd.
Yes, the New Year is getting closer and closer.
The cars of Shi Zhongxiao and the eighteen gold mine bosses also gradually stopped on the street. They all smiled and teased their children and said hello. They were villagers in the same village and had no hatred of digging up graves and exterminating families. In addition to profits, there were also
The tenderness of people from the same village and from the same roots still exists and still maintains the last trace of dignity.
"Secretary Yue, six of the sixteen village representatives are here." Liu Huiying, the village's women's director, came over to report.
"Six?" Yue Wen was a little surprised. Ruan Chenggang's pipe smoked up again. The two looked at each other. They expected that the village representatives were not all present, but they did not expect that there were so few people. "Let Hu Kailing look for them one by one."
"
Seeing Hu Kailing leaving in a hurry with a few village cadres, Shi Zhongxiao just looked here and chatted and laughed with Wan Jianshe and others.
Regarding the sixteen village representatives, the old secretary and Hu Kailing had done some work in advance. Shi Zhongxiao and the boss of the mine also sent people to do the work. Shi Zhongyu has died, and now it is Hu Kaihong who takes the lead in his place.
One side seeks to pave the way for benefits, while the other lobby for justice. Although some representatives agreed to both sides on the spot, it was still unclear where the votes would go until the final vote.
Yue Wen smiled at Ruan Chenggang, but Ruan Chenggang frowned and said, "You can't even start the meeting, but you're still laughing!"
"This is a good thing," Yue Wen pulled him aside. "This proves that the old secretary's work is effective. These six people came today. Of course, some people will vote against taking back the gold mine. And these people who didn't come,
It is estimated that 90% are in favor of recovering the gold mine."
Ruan Chenggang thought about it and nodded, "Then let these people arrive as soon as possible."
The village is not big, and the thick smoke can be seen immediately outside.
All the young and old men in the village stood up, and the street officials also stopped to watch.
"The boy set the haystacks on the threshing floor on fire with his whip!"
"Go put out the fire quickly!"
In the panic, someone shouted from the crowd.
"Can you still think of something new?" Yue Wen looked at Ruan Chenggang with a smile and entered the village committee.
"All the villagers are paying attention, all the villagers are paying attention, everyone is standing still, standing still, please ask the old secretary to lead people to put out the fire, please ask the old secretary to lead people to put out the fire."
The old secretary put his pipe in his pocket and said, "Military company, follow me to put out the fire." For a moment, Yue Wen suddenly felt that the old secretary was no longer hunched over, nor was his waist bent, and he was full of energy and majestic.
The people outside the village committee slowly regained their composure. They have great confidence in the old secretary. This confidence has been cultivated over the years and has never changed.
Snowflakes started to fall in the sky again, and Hu Kailing ran back, his breath turned into mist, and he was covered in snowflakes. "The workers in the mine blocked the door of the house and didn't let them come out."
If he couldn't be bribed, he would threaten him. As expected, Ruan Chenggang smiled and said, "Cao Lei, take a few people over to have a look."
Facing Jiang Xiaoyun's immediate boss, Cao Lei had no choice but to fawn over him. He hurriedly shouted to several police officers and followed the villagers away.
"There are still a few people who are not at home. They said they went out early in the morning." Hu Kailing looked worried.
"Going out? Weren't we informed in advance?" Ruan Chenggang didn't understand.
"Brigade Ruan, you are a policeman and you don't understand the actual situation in the countryside." Seeing that Hu Kailing was very embarrassed, Yue Wen hurriedly explained, "The countryside is not like an agency, let alone your police, who strictly enforce discipline. In the countryside, if there is a meeting,
, Firstly, we must not delay farm work, and secondly, we must not delay making money.”
"But where is the farm work now?" Ruan Chenggang was puzzled.
"Someone has a greenhouse at home, and his wife said she wanted to go to the greenhouse first to have a look," Hu Kailing said hurriedly. "There are also people who are going to the market. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. They are selling Spring Festival couplets and fried melon seeds!"
"Holy shit!" Ruan Chenggang cursed, but after scolding him, he didn't know why, but he couldn't get angry.
"But there are still a few who said they were picked up by a car early in the morning." Hu Kailing looked at Shi Zhongxiao.
"No matter what, we have to get people back. We can't even hold a meeting, right? Even if we spend so much effort, we can't even hold a meeting. We will become a joke in the district again!" Ruan Chenggang was a little anxious.
Yue Wen smiled and said, "Captain Ruan, don't worry, please be at ease." He whispered a few words to Hu Kailing, who immediately put on a straight face and walked into the village committee.
In the village committee, Hu Kaihong was whispering something to a village representative. When he saw Hu Kailing coming in, his face suddenly became panicked. Hu Kailing was not polite and stepped forward and took Hu Kaihong aside like a chicken. Without saying a word,
"Papa pa pa", just a few slaps.
The street cadres in the conference room were stunned, and several village representatives were also frightened. Hu Kaihong looked pale and couldn't speak in tune.
"Where have the second uncle from Qianjie Street, Mingjun's wife, and Cheng Bo gone?" Hu Kailing looked majestic and his eyes widened with anger.
"I..." Hu Kaihong was a little flustered and couldn't help rubbing his red face with his hands, but he didn't dare to fight back.
"Don't tell me you don't know. The police are aware of the little tricks you are doing behind the scenes, and the leaders on the street are also aware of them." He looked at the several village representatives sitting there. "You are doing it behind your back, lest the world
Don't mess up, let me know, let Secretary Yue know, that is to dig a hole and jump in, burying yourself! Don't you know Shi Zhongyu's previous fate?!"
Several village representatives did not dare to look at Hu Kailing, but Hu Kaihong seemed to have been hit. After a while, he muttered, "I told them that today the street will pay for the new rural cooperative medical system, and asked the car to pull them to the street.
.”
Hu Kailing gave him a sharp look, turned around and walked out.
Seeing that he came out so quickly, Yue Wen asked in surprise, "Is this the end?"
Hu Kailing said bitterly, "If you want to eat something that is not respectful, you have to beat him. Oh, by the way, Hu Kaihong is in charge of the New Rural Cooperative Medical System in the village. He asked these representatives to be taken to the street."
went."
Yue Wen looked at the gradually disappearing smoke at the threshing floor, and then at Shi Zhongxiao, "Then let Baobao let them come back. Haha, is that all they have? I thought they could make such a big deal!"
"
Ruan Chenggang also smiled, and Hu Kailing seemed to be in a good mood, smiling and laughing, but his smile suddenly faded, and Er Gang was running towards the village committee like crazy.
"Quick, quick, the Kai Zhong's greenhouse is on fire!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.
There were several greenhouse growers in the village, but they couldn't sit still. Most of the villagers were relatives and friends. In an instant, a group of people rushed to the west of the village. There were only three villager representatives left in the village committee.
None of them could sit still.
Seeing Hu Kailing blocking the way, a representative said with a sad face, "Director Hu, my brother-in-law's house is on fire. If you don't let me save it, will my mother-in-law scold me to death tomorrow?"
Another interface said, "We are all from the same village. There is a fire in someone's house. We can't just sit here. Can't we open it again in the afternoon?"
"No," Hu Kailing yelled. He watched Ruan Chenggang answer the phone and his voice lowered, "There is an old secretary leading a militia company to put out fires. What are you afraid of? If anything happens, I will explain it to your mother-in-law!"
Ruan Chenggang took the phone and walked aside. Cao Lei's voice came from the receiver, "Team Ruan, the workers in the mine are fighting with the village cadres, and we can't stop it..."
"I'm going to take a look, Brother Hu. You go and help the old secretary put out the fire. Anyway, not everyone will be here in a while. Damn, this noise is getting louder and louder!" Yue Wen looked at Ruan Chenggang, who nodded helplessly.
Just as he walked out of the village committee, his own cell phone rang, and he felt a contraction in his heart for no reason, thinking something was wrong.
"Yue Wen, the procuratorate called and asked you to come over." Zhu Mingxing's voice came over the phone.
"Procuratorate? Looking for me? What's the matter?" Yue Wen said in surprise, "Haha, they should go to the leader, why are they looking for me?"
"There is something that needs to be clarified. Secretary Jiang asked me to accompany you there."
