In half a cigarette, Qiu Yuejin arrived at the guard box, stretched out his hand to hold the glass door, and was about to knock the glass with his other hand when he raised it in the air and suddenly froze.
Qiu Yanei's eyes were as wide as cow's eggs, and he stared into the guard box, his pupils wide open, full of disbelief.
There were a few dead firewood left in a military-green, rusty, broken porcelain basin, like dead tree roots. The fire in the basin was burning extremely brightly, and the flames greedily licked the air and jumped very high.
There were fire tongs placed on both ends of the pot. The two thick and large sweet potatoes weighing about a kilogram each were placed on the fire tongs, and they were already roasted black.
Blind Wang wore a torn cotton jacket and squatted beside the charcoal fire. From time to time, he used two thick dead branches to turn the sweet potatoes over so that they could be heated evenly.
From time to time, he would hit the carbonized shell with dead branches until the shell was cracked. Then Wang blindly picked up two branches like chopsticks, picked up a sweet potato on the left, and rolled it on the ground.
After the heat dissipated for a while, I reached out to grab it again and cracked open the shell. Immediately, a piece of roasted orange-red potato flesh was exposed.
A trace of heat immediately rose, and the thick sweet fragrance seemed to be clearly smellable by Qiu Yuejin through the thick glass.
The orange-yellow sweet potato flesh was put into Wang Xiazi's mouth, but it was like peeled egg yolk, soft and sweet.
Qiu Yuejin seemed to have tasted the taste, and sticky saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, which perfectly interpreted the word "salivating".
Seeing that Blind Wang was about to finish a sweet potato, Qiu Yuejin finally woke up and slapped the glass door hard.
Blind Wang was chewing sweet potatoes. His mouth was full of sweetness. He was suddenly interrupted and felt extremely unhappy. When he saw the person knocking on the door, his unhappiness increased even more.
For this new secretary, he, Wang Xiazi, has not the least bit of affection but no respect!
He, Mr. Wang, was guarding the gate of the management committee and was well-informed. Although he did not care about politics, he still knew that Secretary Qiu and his great benefactor, Mayor Xue, were not to be dealt with.
How can a person who can't deal with Mayor Xue be a good person? Because of this simplest logical reasoning, Blind Wang naturally doesn't like Secretary Qiu.
Seeing him knocking on the door at this moment, Blind Wang turned around and glanced back. He was still eating sweet potatoes, not bothering to move his buttocks, and said vaguely: "It's so late. What does Secretary Qiu want to see me for? I'll talk to you first."
Okay. I'm just a bigot.
As for the door, my job is to look after the door. I can’t do anything else and I don’t dare to. If you have any problems, you should find someone else. If you want to go out of this door, you can take care of it yourself. I won’t stop you. If you want to come in again, I will
Let you in too, this is my job."
"The little demon in the temple is strong, but there are many bastards in Chi Qian!"
Qiu Yuejin cursed secretly.
Indeed, in the past two days, Secretary Qiu has opened his eyes. He has seen office directors who dare to sit on the secretary's desk with their buttocks. Today, he is even more evil, and he has even seen people who don't take the secretary seriously at all.
But if I feel aggrieved again, what can I do?
Who told him that Secretary Qiu was in Yunjin? He was already depressed to the bottom. He couldn't bear this embarrassment but had to endure it. "Old Wang, it's me. There's something urgent. You open the door first and then we'll talk!"
"What's the urgent matter? Let's talk outside. I'm busy. Secretary Qiu, it's windy outside. As you know, I have a cold leg problem and can't stand the wind and cold. Please hurry up and say it. After you finish speaking, leave quickly. Don't worry about it."
You're freezing too."
Blind Wang replied, and gnawed at the sweet potato again. He felt very happy and cursed secretly, "I call you a bad boy. If you dare to challenge Mayor Xue, I won't freeze you to death!"
Blind Wang's quarrel with Qiu Yuejin stemmed from the simplest mentality of repaying gratitude. Looking for an opportunity to embarrass Qiu Yuejin, he would naturally go through fire and water.
As for whether he would lose his job afterwards, it never occurred to him.
Qiu Yuejin really wanted to scold his mother, but now that he was under a low eaves, how could he not bow his head? What's more, even if he scolded his mother, he might not be Wang Xiazi's opponent.
At that moment, he barely suppressed his anger and forced a smile, "Comrade Lao Wang, it's like this. It's cold. I'm here to borrow some hot water and buy some food from you. It's inconvenient for you!"
"It's inconvenient, it's inconvenient. What time is it? There's no food anywhere, there's no boiling water, there's nothing. You should go back quickly!"
Blind Wang is indeed a blind man, and his lies are at their peak.
The big sweet potatoes on the brazier were being roasted till they turned black, and the water on the coal stove on one side was so hot that it hit the lid of the pot. Blind Wang couldn't help but say nothing.
Qiu Yuejin was so angry that he almost cried. Is there anyone who bullies people like this?
He reached into his pocket, took out his cowhide wallet, pulled out a wad of dough, and slammed the door hard, "Old Wang, Old Wang, look, I have a sweet potato and a pot of hot water. I'll give you all the money. What do you do?"
You can’t earn this in a year!”
With a shudder, Lao Wang, who had been squatting all the time, rushed to the glass door like a civet, his eyes glowing blue, staring at the pile of money, and murmured, "What you said is true, give it all to me."
I!"
"It's all for you, let me in quickly!"
Qiu Yuejin said hurriedly, and while he was talking, he couldn't help but cover his stomach with his hands.
"I don't believe it. You must be lying. To be honest, Secretary Qiu, although I looked at the gate of the management committee and half-stepped into the public house, to be honest, I can't believe what the public servants say. I just can't believe it.
Why did I lose my eyes? I believe you also know that when I was discharged from the army, the state stipulated that I should be given a veterans' allowance every month. However, I was paid for two years, and then I never saw him again. They were all detained by the villagers, saying that they were used as my pension.
, who should I talk to to reason with you!"
Blind Wang looked at Qiu Yuejin warily, his doubts evident in his words.
"Old Wang, you can't trust my words, but you can always trust my money. I can give you the money first, that's fine!"
"If you give me the money, you can think of a way to force me to go back later. Anyway, you are a high official and I am an ordinary citizen. You can contradict me ten times with one sentence!"
"Then I swear, I swear it's OK... uh... cough cough..."
Qiu Yuejin held on to the glass door, coughing so hard that he almost vomited blood.
"Swear, okay, you make it!"
Blind Wang held on to the door handle tightly, still with a vigilant expression, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the stack of unity in Qiu Yuejin's hand.
Logically speaking, Qiu Yuejin would never swear.
First of all, he, Mr. Qiu, is the secretary of the management committee. How could he swear to a disciple? What’s even more ridiculous is that he swore an oath for nothing else but a piece of sweet potato and a pot of boiling water. If he said it, he would definitely make someone
The listeners burst out laughing.
Furthermore, all party members may be atheists, and Qiu Yuejin swore that if this was passed on, the problem could be big or small.
From these two aspects, Qiu Yuejin would never swear anything.
There are exceptions to everything. For example, is it possible to exchange a mountain of gold for a cup of water?
Totally possible!
In the desert, people are dying of thirst, so what is the use of guarding a mountain of gold? At this time, how does the weight of this mountain of gold compare with a glass of life-saving water?
At the moment, Qiu Yuejin was not much different from the man who was about to die of thirst. Moreover, the night was dark and windy, so just Wang Xiazi and him were just talking nonsense. The next day, Wang Xiuzi said it out,
Who would believe it?
Therefore, Secretary Qiu Da said casually without even struggling, "If I don't keep my word, I will never be able to be a high official in this life!"
"Poisonous enough!"
Blind Wang gave Qiu Yuejin a thumbs up.
Indeed, for officials, it is indeed extremely painful to fail to become a high official. Moreover, Qiu Yuejin is still so young, and officials are especially taboo on verbal rhetoric. Qiu Yuejin dared to swear like this, which shows his sincerity.
"Open the door quickly, get the money, and let me in!"
Qiu Yuejin slapped the glass door desperately.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Qiu, I still can't trust you. There are many people who have broken the oath, but I haven't seen many who have taken the oath. Besides, I am a party member and an atheist. I don't believe in swearing. You can take the money back. I
Guard this gate, you have food and drink, why do you need money, go back quickly, I won’t accompany you here anymore!”
After saying that, Blind Wang turned around, smoothly pulled down the khaki curtain behind the glass, and completely sealed the glass door.
Qiu Yuejin was spinning and he was about to faint. He was tricked by an old blind man and was beaten hard.
The intense sense of shame almost made him faint. If it weren't for the extremely uncomfortable feeling in his stomach, which made him unable to faint even if he wanted to, Secretary Qiu might have fainted and died.
Holding on to the wall, it took him a long time to regain his composure. Suddenly, Qiu Yuejin made an incredible move.
With a clang, Qiu Yuejin kicked the glass door open, reached out and unlocked the door from inside, and rushed in.
All this happened so suddenly that Blind Wang didn't even have time to react and was stunned on the spot.
When Qiu Yuejin rushed in like the wind, he snatched the remaining baked potato from the tong holder with lightning speed, and then rushed out the door.
It wasn't until Qiu Yuejin rushed out that Blind Wang woke up from a dream and chased out the door, shouting as he chased, "My sweet potatoes, my roasted sweet potatoes..."
The gong's voice was astonishing, and in an instant, countless rooms lit up with lights.
While Qiu Yuejin was running around desperately, he desperately broke open the sweet potatoes that were so hot that his hands were blistering, and stuffed them into his mouth.
That image is simply a bit more embarrassing than the black one in "Crazy Stone".
No matter how bad it was, at least what Heipi was grabbing was bread. What Secretary Qiu was grabbing was roasted black sweet potatoes. After a while, his face was full of darkness.
However, Qiu Yuejin, who was running desperately, finally realized that something was wrong with the situation. He shouted, and there were many more people outside.
After eating a few mouthfuls of roasted sweet potatoes, his hunger was suppressed slightly, and his reason took over his body again. Thinking of what he had just done, Qiu Yuejin really wished he could hit him to death.
The dignified Secretary Qiu actually went to snatch the sweet potatoes from a disciple in the middle of the night. Is this a myth?
Qiu Yuejin really doubted whether he was possessed by a ghost just now. Otherwise, how could he do such a thing. (To be continued...)
