Sun Yuting's house at the east end of the village.
A gust of cold wind slipped in through the broken window, causing the flame of the kerosene lamp to sway from side to side.
He Fengying put down the water basin, placed the wooden board on the window, then picked up the hot water bottle, poured it into cold water, and carried it to Sun Yuting.
Sun Yuting took off his shoes and put his feet into the basin, feeling comfortable and narrowing his eyes slightly.
“It’s so comfortable.”
He Fengying wiped her hands, sat next to Sun Yuting, and asked in a low voice: "Old Sun, the comrades who came to help us from the capital have arrived. The commune members finally have enough to eat. You have also completed the tasks assigned to you by Tian Futang. How come it seems like
A little unhappy?"
When mentioning this matter, the joy on Sun Yuting's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He picked up the cigarette pot on the fire bed and coughed twice. He Fengying knew that he was going to teach her a lesson, so she quickly used the flint to light the cigarette pot for him.
He Fengying was originally a city girl. After meeting Sun Yuting by chance, she decided to marry into the poor Shuangshui Village without any gift.
The biggest reason was that Sun Yuting shouted slogans very loudly and was an advanced figure at the time.
In the city, she was just an ordinary-looking girl with no dazzling features, not even a formal job.
In Shuangshui Village, she became the wife of the director of the Poverty Management Committee and became a model. Therefore, she became the women's director of Shuangshui Village.
It is said that He Fengying's feelings for Sun Yuting are simple and not mixed with any interests. In fact, she is just satisfying her vanity of being superior to others.
Sun Yuting took a deep breath from his cigarette pot and sighed: "Fengying, today I met Director Li from the steel rolling mill. I feel that this assistance may be a good thing for Shuangshui Village, but it is not necessarily good for us.
.”
He Fengying was stunned for a moment and looked at Sun Yuting with a frown: "Old Sun, you have to explain clearly what is going on."
In Shuangshui Village, although their family lives in poverty, Sun Yuting is the director of the Poverty Management Committee and He Fengying is the women's director. The presence of these two positions in the same family is destined to become the top class in the village.
Therefore, although He Fengying's life was difficult, she enjoyed it.
Now the comrades from the steel rolling mill have come and actually threatened their position, how can that be a big deal?!
Sun Yuting smoked his pipe and pot, narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "We have not helped any villages here, but when I was in a meeting in the county, I heard the director of a poverty management committee in a distant village say something like this.
This kind of assistance is actually a matter of saving face.
Those people in the city gave the food to us, the Poor Management Committee, and then left. We gained face, and they returned to the city to accept praise from their superiors. This is called everyone being happy.
After all, life here is hard and people in the city are rich in wealth. Who will suffer with us here?
But this Li Weidong is different.
He has the food firmly in his hands and is ready to distribute it on his own.
It is obvious that he is planning to interfere in the affairs of our Shuangshui Village."
Hearing this, He Fengying frowned: "This is a problem. Now our Shuangshui Village is short of food. Whoever controls the food will have the right to speak in the village and can win over the villagers."
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled and patted Sun Yuting on the shoulder: "Old Sun, but you don't have to worry too much. Li Weidong is the leader of the city and will definitely not stay in Shuangshui Village. You will have to distribute the food then.
.
I think he is just a young boy who just wants to be in the limelight.
You, just wait and see what happens, give him the chance to shine, and when he hits a snag, he will leave naturally.
How can a young boy like him play around in our Shuangshui Village?"
The situation in Shuangshui Village is complicated. There are three big families alone, not to mention rogues like Wang Manyin.
"Daughter-in-law, you are becoming more and more qualified as a student, and you can actually become my teacher." Sun Yuting's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. When he looked at He Fengying again, he felt that his daughter-in-law was actually very good-looking.
not bad.
He Fengying has a square face, a high forehead, a garlicky nose, and a pair of small eyes. Even in Shuangshui Village, it is impossible to get rid of her.
The reason why Sun Yuting married her back then was firstly because she was from the city, and secondly because she didn't want a bride price.
"Damn you, what are you looking at? You don't recognize me?"
He Fengying noticed Sun Yuting's fiery gaze, her face flushed slightly, she stood up and blew out the oil lamp, and took the initiative to hold him onto the fire bed.
.....
On the other side, the commune residence.
As the night deepens, the barking of dogs in the countryside gradually disappears, and the whole world falls into silence.
Li Weidong put down his book, yawned, and prepared to go to bed.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Li Weidong put his hands on his lower back and was about to step forward and open the door.
Then I saw Pengzi carrying two people in from the outside.
Obviously, as a 'bodyguard', Pengzi was very alert. He was afraid that the two of them would come in the middle of the night, which would be detrimental to Li Weidong, so he immediately took action after hearing the noise.
Pengzi was strong and strong, and when he was in the capital, he went to Huling to pay homage to a famous teacher and learned good martial arts.
It only took a moment to restrain the two of them.
There were two people, one old and one young. The older one was Sun Yuhou from Shuangshui Village, and the younger one was his daughter Sun Lanhua.
Sun Yuhou is a standard old farmer. He has no education and does not work hard. He has worked diligently on the loess slopes all his life. Whether he is handling tobacco leaves or soybeans, he lowers his head, arches his body, and works hard just for
Scraping food from the soil to feed the family.
He was dressed like an old farmer, with a towel on his head, his dark face chapped by the scorching sun, and wrinkles on his forehead, like field ridges. Sun Yuhou is in his forties this year, but his whole person is
He looks like he is in his fifties, his waist is already stooped and his eyes are cloudy.
Sun Yuhou entered the room and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to make a sound, but failed to make any sound. Just when Li Weidong wanted to ask him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sun Yuhou suddenly fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, hitting his head on the green bricks, making a dull sound, and a chilling sound came from his dry throat.
"Leader, please, please save my two children."
"Uncle, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Li Weidong quickly stood up and stepped forward to support Sun Yuhou.
Li Weidong still respected Sun Yuhou. This man from the Loess Plateau seemed to have no great abilities. He spent his whole life digging in the fields, just like a handful of loess from the Loess Plateau. He was so simple and unknown.
However, it was precisely because of his diligence that he brought up his younger brother Sun Yuting, and brought up the two brothers Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping, and also allowed them to go to school.
I have wiped Wang Manyin's butt countless times and taken care of Sun Lanhua's family.
Sun Yuhou has made the word responsibility shine brightly, and he is a standard Chinese old father.
When Pengzi saw Li Weidong's actions, he quickly stepped forward, took Sun Yuhou's arm, and helped him to the chair next to him.
Pengzi looked at Sun Yuhou and said: "Uncle, no matter what happens to you, you can't kneel down. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Director Li. If Director Li suffers from your kneeling today, then if it spreads
If you go out, aren't you just riding on the people's heads? You want Director Li to make a mistake."
"Ah...yes, yes..."
When Li Weidong saw that he was in a hurry, he was not polite and asked directly: "Uncle Sun, what happened to make you come here in the middle of the night?"
"It's like this, my Sun Shao'an..." Sun Yu was awkward with words, and because he was anxious, he couldn't explain clearly for a while.
Li Weidong asked Pengzi to pour tea for Sun Yuhou, then turned to look at Sun Lanhua.
Sun Lanhua seemed a little timid. After entering the house, she remained silent, her face turned pale, and her teeth clenched her lips.
"Girl, your name is Sun Lanhua, right? Can you tell me what happened?" Li Weidong tried his best to sound calmer.
Sun Lanhua did not expect that Li Weidong, a leader from the capital, would be so approachable. She gradually calmed down, pulled the corners of her clothes with both hands, and recounted what happened tonight.
She, Sun Shao'an and Sun Shaoping walked dozens of miles to Yuanxi County, and then went to Pigeon Market in the dark to sell the grain.
As soon as we entered the pigeon market, we met a young man wearing a duck spoon hat. The man was willing to pay two cents a pound to buy the Sun family's grain.
This price is also the normal price in the pigeon market, but you must know that the Sun family's food is taken out of mouse holes, and it contains a lot of mouse droppings and dust.
The Sun family was naturally very happy that Duck Spoon Hat was willing to pay such a high price.
but.
Duck Spoon Hat said that he kept the money at home and asked the Sun family to send the food back to him.
It's not surprising that they paid such a high price and delivered it to their door. Besides, people in the city are generally richer. Looking at this duck spoon hat, he looks frail and has never done any heavy physical work.
The Sun family agreed without hesitation and followed Duck Spoon Hat out of Pigeon Market. They walked along the street for more than ten minutes and arrived in front of a large courtyard.
The duck spoon hat told the three people to wait here. He forgot to bring the key and had to return to the unit to get the key.
After Duck Spoon Hat left, Sun Shaoping felt something was wrong. He was worried that there was fraud and wanted to hide aside.
But Sun Shaoan, an honest man, felt that he had promised to wait here. If he left now, he would definitely be unhappy. As a human being, you should keep your word.
Although Sun Shaoping had an idea, he couldn't defeat Sun Shaoan and could only stand outside the courtyard and wait.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance, and the duck spoon hat who had left just now rushed over with a dozen comrades in uniform.
Sun Shaoping realized that something was wrong at that time, pulled Sun Lanhua and turned around to run away. However, halfway through, he found that Sun Shaoan had not followed.
Turning around, he realized that Sun Shaoan couldn't run fast while carrying the grain bag.
Sun Shaoping stamped his feet anxiously at that time and asked Sun Shaoan to throw away the grain bag. However, the grain in the bag was dug out from the mouse hole by the two brothers. It was Sun Shaoping's tuition fee. How could Sun Shaoan give it up?
Sun Shaoping had no choice but to turn back and help Sun Shaoan.
At this time, Sun Shaoan was just a teenager. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't compare to adults, and he was still carrying a heavy bag.
Within a few minutes, the young men in uniforms led by Duck Spoon Hat captured Sun Shaoan.
Sun Shaoping could have escaped, but in order to help Sun Shaoan, he was also arrested.
Sun Lanhua was extremely frightened at the time. When she realized that the two brothers had not followed, she turned around and realized that they had been arrested.
Sun Shaoping shouted at the top of his lungs, telling Sun Lanhua to leave them alone and go home quickly.
Sun Lanhua understood Sun Shaoping's thoughts, gritted her teeth, turned around and ran into the darkness, returning to Shuangshui Village overnight.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the village, he was stopped by Wang Manyin.
Sun Lanhua was also surprised by Wang Manyin's appearance. In the past, she might have stopped and said a few words to Wang Manyin.
But now she was concerned about the safety of the two brothers, so Sun Lanhua pulled Wang Manyin away and wanted to run to the village.
But he was pulled back by Wang Manyin.
Wang Manyin told Sun Lanhua directly that he had a way to rescue the Sun brothers, and as long as Sun Lanhua was willing to marry him, he would take action.
This kind of matter is a big deal. Although Sun Lanhua has a good impression of Wang Manyin in her heart, she does not dare to make the decision without authorization.
So after returning home, he told Sun Yuhou Wang Manyin's request.
Sun Yuhou couldn't make up his mind.
Sun Shaoping and Sun Shaoan were captured in the city. They will definitely be in big trouble and must be rescued as soon as possible.
but.
Sun Yuhou also knew that Wang Manyin was someone who could not hold up a wall, and Sun Lanhua would definitely not be happy when she married Wang Manyin.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So Sun Yuhou told the old lady of the Sun family what happened.
The old lady of the Sun family is an old lady with small feet, and she also has pink eye. Her health has never been very good, she has been taking medicine, and she is half paralyzed on the kang. In the original work, the Sun family seems to be a sluggish existence.
However, the Sun family members all respected the old lady of the Sun family. In addition to family affection, the most important factor was that the old lady of the Sun family looked confused, but was very shrewd in her heart. She could always point the way for the Sun family at critical moments.
The Sun family can become a big family and become more and more prosperous, which is inseparable from the old lady of the Sun family.
After hearing this, the old lady of the Sun family, who had never commented on family matters, immediately objected to marrying Sun Lanhua to Wang Manyin in exchange for Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping.
Sun Yuhou was also inclined to this approach in his heart, but he couldn't just watch Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping being arrested.
So I thought about asking Sun Yuting.
Sun Yuting has a good relationship with Leader Tian in the city, so he might be able to rescue the two brothers.
However, the old lady of the Sun family saw through her second son and said that Sun Yuting would definitely not come forward. Instead of wasting time on him, it would be better to go to Li Weidong from the capital.
This is why Sun Yuhou kowtows as soon as he enters the door.
....
After hearing the whole thing, Li Weidong's eyes suddenly widened.
Good guy, the old lady of the Sun family is a powerful person. She lies in bed all day long, but she knows everything about the world.
He reached out and took the enamel jar handed over by Pengzi, and took a sip of hot tea to dispel the chill in his body.
"Uncle, the old lady is right. Even if you agree to sell Sun Lanhua to Wang Manyin, Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping will not be able to let go."
