Jiang Xiaohui wiped the tears from her eyes, nodded to the old village chief, then turned to everyone and said, "Dear leaders, let's go with the old village chief."
Team leader Gu said to Jiang Xiaohui: "Xiaohui, you can no longer call us leaders in the village. Just call us sister or brother. We Jiangzhong and Ninggan have already paired up. From now on, we will be brothers and sisters, and we will be a 'family'"
Ah!" Then, Team Leader Gu went over to support the old village chief and said, "Uncle, we will follow you!"
With the support of team leader Gu, the old village chief still didn't move quickly. He said: "You should go to the public house quickly, don't let the mutton and mutton soup get cold!" In the eyes of the old village chief, let the guests who came from afar have a drink.
The warm lamb soup at night is more important than anything else.
The people in the village had little money and could not usually afford to eat mutton, so they took it to the county and sold it to city dwellers in exchange for daily necessities. This time they heard that Jiang Xiaohui had come back with the Jiangzhong poverty alleviation cadres. The villagers said, "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor."
"Guest", everyone pooled their money and bought a sheep from a sheep farmer. Several men in the village quickly slaughtered it and made roasted whole sheep and haggis soup. So tonight, this mutton and mutton soup is very important to the village.
How precious it is to people!
It was precisely for this reason that the old village chief urged Team Leader Gu and the others to go to the public house early to eat mutton and drink mutton soup.
Of course Team Leader Gu understood the old village chief’s good intentions, but she said: “Old village chief, we must drink this mutton soup with you! It was you who trained such a good comrade like Xiaohui, and delivered it to
They killed us in the middle of the river!" The old village chief felt even more happy when he heard that Team Leader Gu was so sure of Xiaohui. Xiaohui was successful outside, and his heart felt sweeter than drinking honey.
Team leader Gu accompanied the old village leader as he walked forward, and everyone else followed them. No one complained that they were walking slowly, but they just felt that every step they took was stepping on warm soil. Many villagers held flashlights in their hands.
It was used to illuminate the members of the inspection team. However, it was snatched away by naughty children after a while, and they took pictures everywhere. However, it was quickly snatched away by adults, who cursed "annoyingly" and "I'm so tired of the sun"... The child
Being scolded, he ran away.
As Xiao Zheng walked forward with everyone, he observed the village under the lights. He saw that there were some low brick and wood structure houses in the village, almost all of which were one-story bungalows, and there were many more near the mountains.
The simple cave dwellings are also lit with orange lights. It can be seen that there are still people living in these cave dwellings. Xiao Zheng lives in the south and has not seen many cave dwellings before. Later, he studied some information about Ninggan and Gansu and learned that in the loess
On the plateau, living in cave dwellings was a very common way of survival in the past.
But a few decades ago, an unexpected major earthquake occurred in the Xihaitou area. Hundreds of thousands of cave dwellings collapsed and countless people died. After that, those who could not live in cave dwellings tried their best to make money to build wooden bricks.
House, who wants to take the risk of being trapped in a cave dwelling?
However, there are still so many families living in cave dwellings in this "Bao Mine Village", which shows that the poverty level of this village is much worse than that of Lushui Village ten years ago. Xiao Zheng thought, only those who have seen it before
Only in villages like this can we truly understand the poverty situation in Ninggan Province!
This public house is the only public house in the village. It is a semi-cave dwelling. The front part is built with wooden bricks, and the back is in the cave dwelling. It has an area of three rooms side by side. When there are weddings and funerals in the village, banquets are held.
Everything can be done here. Two incandescent lamps have been lit inside. Three women are already waiting at the door. Under the light, Xiao Zheng can see that there are still traces of brooms on the flat ground in front of the house, which shows that they have just been cleaned.
Passed.
"Come in quickly!" "Come in!" Seeing the old village chief, Jiang Xiaohui and others arriving, the women in these villages greeted them.
Team Leader Gu, Fang Ya, Xiao Zheng and others walked into the house and smelled the strong aroma of mutton. When they got inside, they saw four wooden tables made up into a long table, with two long slides connected to the side.
wooden bench.
On the table, in a long wooden tray, there is really a roasted whole lamb, sprinkled with chili, minced garlic, cumin, and next to it is a salt and vinegar dish; there is also a big basin, which is steaming with steam! This should be
It's the legendary haggis soup! There are four large pots of potatoes next to it. Seeing these foods, Ma Kai's stomach began to growl unsatisfactorily. He really didn't expect that he could also eat roasted whole vegetables here.
Sheep. Everyone else also started to swallow their saliva.
The old village chief said: "Everyone, please take a seat. Xiaohui, these are your friends, you sit with them." Team leader Gu asked the old village chief to sit in the main seat, and asked Jiang Xiaohui's family to sit next to him.
The inspection team members sat down.
But Team Leader Gu saw many villagers and children at the door of the public house. Their clothes looked shabby and outdated in the eyes of everyone coming from the river. The eyes of men and women couldn't help but look at the roasted whole lamb and meat on the table.
I couldn't help but swallow the mutton soup, and the children put their fingers in their mouths and sucked.
Seeing all this, Team Leader Gu could no longer bear it. She said, "Everyone, come over and eat together. Eat together!" But the villagers all stepped back in embarrassment. "No, no." "You eat, these are all
We're here to entertain guests!" "We've already eaten, we're not hungry!"
The old village head also said: "Team leader Gu, everyone, these mutton and mutton soup are the heartfelt wishes of our villagers and are for you to eat." Team leader Gu said: "We can only eat if everyone eats. That's it."
How can we eat the good mutton and mutton soup if we are allowed to enjoy it alone? Old village chief, let everyone come together, especially the children. They are growing taller, so let them eat a few more pieces!"
The adults hurriedly pulled the children beside them outside. "Let's go!" "The greedy look you show makes the guests afraid to eat!" "Don't disturb the guests while they are eating."
"Hey, don't take the child away." Team leader Gu is kind-hearted. How can she still eat when she sees the child being taken away? It was originally Murakami's good intention, but now everyone is polite, and the taste of this meal is going to be bad.
It has changed. Everyone is quite embarrassed.
Xiao Zheng saw this and asked Jiang Xiaohui next to him: "What do people here eat at home?" Jiang Xiaohui thought for a while and said: "Everyone usually eats very simple things, such as oatmeal noodles, fried pancakes, screw vegetables and so on.
.”
Xiao Zheng nodded, stood up, walked to the door of the public house, and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, sisters, fellow countrymen. I want to ask you all to do a favor."
The villagers were originally worried about disturbing the guests' dinner, so they had already begun to drag the old and the young away and planned to leave. But when Xiao Zheng said this, everyone stopped and looked at this handsome Jiangzhong cadre blankly! They all thought in their hearts that they
It doesn’t matter what you want, how can you help others?
At this time, Xiao Zheng said: "We people in Jiangzhong, the more people we like to eat with, the better. Everyone has left, leaving us alone and unable to eat. Also, when we arrived at Xihaitou, we naturally wanted to try all kinds of food."
Dishes, bring all the leftovers at home and let us have a taste. Also, have you noticed? There is no wine on the table today, so everyone should bring all the wine at home, no matter whether it is good or bad.
, as long as you have the ability to drink! Today, let’s have a drink with the folks!”
Xiao Zheng's initiative was bold enough even without the approval of Team Leader Gu. When he arrived at his village, he even asked for a drink. But when the villagers heard Xiao Zheng's words, they all became excited, and the male villagers became excited.
"Go back and get the wine! Go back and get the wine!"
"Go, go, go! I still have half a bottle of 'Liupanshan' at home!" "I still have bacon at home!" The villagers really ran home.
At this time, the polite and polite scene just now was suddenly broken. The old village chief also looked at Xiao Zheng, with a smile in his eyes: "Who is this young man? He can do mass work!" Gu
The team leader said: "He is the executive deputy county magistrate of a county over there!" Fang Ya also stood in front of the table, crossed her hands on her chest, and looked at Xiao Zheng appreciatively.
Sure enough, after a while, the villagers came back one after another! The male villagers were holding wine bottles, the female villagers were holding vegetable plates, and the little kid was holding eggs and potatoes. Assorted vegetables and glutinous rice noodles were on the table.
, garlic heads, kneaded oatmeal, peanuts, fried pepper rings and other Tujia foods have increased in number. Wine is not considered good wine, but what I drink now is not wine, what I drink is happiness and emotion.
The men stopped being polite and hurriedly took the shallow pottery bowls and poured wine for their friends in Jiangzhong! The three public rooms were also crowded with people. The wine had already been poured, and Xiao Zheng said in the ear of Team Leader Gu:
"Team Leader Gu, please say something."
Team leader Gu looked at the scene. She felt at ease among the people. She didn't know where the heroic spirit came from. She held up a light cup and said, "There is a saying, 'When everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise.' If there is only one person at home,
If we don't bring out a plate of food, we can only eat one plate, but if everyone brings it out to share, we will have a whole table of food. 'Baokoang Village' has always had such a good tradition. In the past, everyone gave money to support
Jiang Xiaohui went to study, and now Jiang Xiaohui takes the money back and lets more children in the village go to study. So, today there will be wine for everyone to drink together, everyone will have food to eat together, no one should leave, eat whatever you want, and drink whatever you want.
You can drink whatever you want and say whatever you want. We are here to help the poor in Ninggan, and we will definitely do our best for Baokang Village, so that the folks in Baokang Village can live a good life as soon as possible... Come,
In order for the good days to get better and better, we drank this bowl of wine together!"
As he said that, team leader Gu took the lead in drinking, and everyone else also drank. The men and women in the village who knew how to drink also drank the wine in the bowl! The atmosphere in the public room, just like the plates of chili, was also fiery.
Get up!
The men in the village let go and came to toast with bowls in hand; the children in the village, who had not eaten roasted whole lamb for a long time, couldn't wait any longer and climbed onto the table and grabbed a piece of mutton to chew on; the women in the village,
They also tasted other people's peanuts and potatoes, and some elderly women drank wine and smoked cigarettes!
When Jiang Xiaohui returned to her hometown, the day when the inspection team arrived at "Baokuang Village" turned out to be a big festival, more lively than weddings and funerals, and more sumptuous than the Spring Festival!
Team leader Gu said to Ma Kai: "Please pay respect to the folks for me!" She knew that Ma Kai had a good drinker and liked to drink, so she was a good person! "Yes." Ma Kai happily accepted this
He called Officer Xu, "Let's go together and have a few drinks with the people in this village."
Officer Xu and other three police officers are also able to drink. Today's battle with the evil forces in Panshan City has put them under tremendous pressure. At the same time, they have been running all day, so they also need something strong.
Let yourself relax with wine! So Officer Xu said: "Okay, let's go drink with Brother Murakami!"
After all, the villagers were not very wealthy, and the wine they brought was limited, so they drank it all quickly. Ma Kai was originally going to have a drink with a villager brother, but found that the bottle was empty, and after looking around, it was gone. He regretfully
He smiled bitterly and said, "I'll just drink it next time!"
However, at this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Mizi wine is here!" I saw four or five Chinese characters carrying a huge plastic bucket and placed it in the center of the room. One of them shouted: "This is
Our old man Murakami Cao never let anyone take a sip of the millet wine he brewed privately, but today old man Cao said, please drink it, drink it all!”
"Okay! Old Man Cao is so generous!" "Long live Old Man Cao!" Everyone was excited and poured the rice wine.
"Loess Plateau millet, golden millet wine! I, Old Man Cao, used to be willing to spill my own blood rather than let others drink my wine!" At this time, an old voice came in, and then a leader walked in from outside.
The old man has round black-framed eyes and a bare cane. He seems to have lost many teeth and his cheeks are slightly sunken, but his eyes are full of light.
"This is Old Man Cao!" The old village chief stood up and introduced him to Team Leader Gu.
