"Pay first and eat later", never has there ever been such a fallacy in the world! Before Xue Xiang could get angry, Li Yongjun and the others immediately stood up. The middle-aged man in the big coat showed his contempt for them by saying this. Who would have thought that Xue Xiang hadn't shown up yet?
lose temper, middle
The diners at the table started making noise again. A group of people in gray Mao suits with round collars looked at their attire, and they were people from the government. The people in Mao suits seemed to be extremely disgusted with Xue Xiang and others. After making a few noises, they all stood up and faced Xue Xiang.
This table came rushing towards me, as if looking for trouble.
This time, Xue Xiangre was extremely angry. No matter when, some people would put on a wolf's skin and turn around and forget about their ancestors. At this time, it was not popular for the so-called "three generations above"
"Farmer", nowadays, almost all people with some status are farmers themselves, but these people turn around and look down on farmers.
Xue Xiang was about to take action and asked these guys to recognize their ancestors. Suddenly, the people in Chinese tunic suits all stopped shouting and scolding, and they all looked towards the door. Xue Xiang followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the door, but saw that they were old acquaintances.
——Chen Guangming, a member of the Chengtian County Revolutionary Committee, arrived. As soon as Xue Xiang's eyes were focused, Chen Guangming also saw him. His face immediately turned red, his smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and he stretched out his hand from afar and walked this way.
Before Xue Xiang could stand up to greet him, a group of people in Chinese tunic suits rushed to take the lead. They all smiled and said, "Hello, Secretary Chen." They stretched out their hands and greeted Chen Guangming. They all thought: What will happen to Secretary Chen, this iceberg that has always been difficult to melt, today?
Thawed, so amiable, I must seize the opportunity to make some friends.
Unexpectedly, Chen Guangming just nodded to everyone, separated the people in tunic suits like oars into waves, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xue Xiang, hello, hello." Chen Guangming grabbed Xue Xiang's hand and shook it vigorously.
His enthusiasm was not just a show, it was actually the first time he saw Xue Xiang, he was surprised and happy.
A month ago, Chen Guangming met Xue Xiang, and he might not have been so enthusiastic. But now, he has seen Xue Yanei's energy, and naturally he has a different heart. What Xue Xiang did in Hanshui, he
only
He had heard about it a little bit and thought it was too weird, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But last time when Guo Min's family used the death case in Jiuli Village to get rid of Xue Xiang, the district director Zhao suddenly stood up and spoke, which was too shocking to him.
I was surprised. Director Zhao is a well-known cold-faced person. He said that he was licking a captain. Even ordinary county and city leaders would not dare to breathe in front of him. At this time, Xue Xiangyanei’s identity was given to Chen Guangming.
It's doomed. Chen Guangming also felt proud that he argued a few words for Xue Xiang at the last team meeting. He was also extremely satisfied with Xue Xiang's gift of cigarettes. Isn't friendship just like this back and forth?
Of?
"This is a yamen with a certain degree of advance and retreat!" Chen Guangming's definition of Xue Xiang.
"Secretary-General Chen, hello, hello!" Xue Xiang didn't expect to meet one of his only three acquaintances in Chengtian County here. He came here just to get the food, and he already had it in his heart.
I had made up my mind and didn't want to bother others anymore, so I didn't even think about going to find three acquaintances, Geng Fulin, Chen Guangming and Captain Xu. However, it is always a happy thing to meet old friends by chance.
After Xue Xiang and Chen Guangming finished chatting, they introduced Li Yongjun and the others to Chen Guangming. Chen Guangming had a leader-like demeanor and was extremely amiable. He exchanged a few words and shook hands with everyone, which made Li Yongjun and the others very excited.
Face flushed.
Those people in Chinese tunic suits could not understand how Secretary-General Chen could get along so intimately with a bunch of mud-legged people. They were dumbfounded and stood on the spot, either leaving or staying. If you say go, the leader may not tell you what to do.
If he doesn’t say anything, he will keep you in mind. This is completely disrespectful to him.
What do you mean, you just sneaked away without even saying hello to him? I'm afraid you won't be able to wear out all your shoes in the future. But if you say you can stay, the leader will ignore you. The leader is talking, and you can't pester him.
The leader said goodbye. Therefore, the people in Chinese tunic suits had to stand in front of the door, in a dilemma.
Xue Xiang glanced at the movement over there with his peripheral vision. Since Chen Guangming had this spear in his hand, not taking the opportunity to poke it would obviously not be in line with Xue's retributive temperament. "Secretary-General Chen, I have to report a situation to you."
The middle-aged men in big coats and other senior officials pretended to hear what was said and were frightened out of their wits. They all thought: Judging from the intimacy between Secretary-General Chen and that boy, this treacherous accusation must be accurate.
Chen Guangming didn't know why, but he responded: "Comrade Xue Xiang, if you have any problems, just report it. It's not easy for you grassroots comrades to go to the city. You can just treat me as your mother's family."
"It's over, it's all over, my mother-in-law? We are all so intimate." The man in the big coat and all the men in tunic suits wanted to rush forward and cover Xue Xiang's mouth.
But before it was too late, Xue Xiang spoke again: "It's like this. When we entered the city this time, the only thing we felt was that the comrades in the county were too enthusiastic. You don't know?
, we mountain people finally had the opportunity to come to this big canteen to broaden our horizons. We originally planned to just order some steamed buns with some water.
But when the comrades from the county saw us, they insisted on stopping us because they were too humble and wanted to pay the bill for us and treat us to a good meal. This is really outrageous and too enthusiastic. You must criticize them. This is the first time.
Once, we agreed, and the next time, we won’t agree to anything.” After that, Xue Xiang pointed to the Mao Zedong uniforms and pointed out the enthusiastic comrades in his mouth.
The people in tunic suits thought that Xue Xiang was going to complain. At this moment, their hearts were already in their throats. Some even covered their eyes, fearing that they would be greeted by Chen Guangming's thunderous anger. Who knew that what they heard were not slanderous words?
It was actually a word of gratitude, a compliment that sounded like the sound of nature. At this moment, the people in tunic suits wished they could rush over, hug Xue Xiang, give him a few mouthfuls, and then shout: Why are you so cute?
The people in Chinese tunic suits were happy in their hearts, and they all walked towards Xue Xiang. The ones who liked to stand out could not help but feel proud, saying: "This is as it should be. The class brothers below are here, isn't it natural to treat them to a meal?"
"
Xue Xiang chuckled in his heart, but put on an affectionate look on his face, and smiled at the men in tunic suits: "Thank you, thank you, I really appreciate it! Then please pay the bill first. After paying the bill, we can have a good meal. After all,
Then he turned to Chen Guangming and sighed: "The canteens in the county are about being strict and disciplined. With such good rules, the superiors and subordinates will give instructions."
The warning cannot just be sent to the county! This advanced experience of "paying first, eating later" should also be taken into account in our grassroots canteens. No, I must report it to Director Ma of the club when I return to the club.
It must be implemented in the whole society as soon as possible to catch up with the advancement. We cannot fall behind." Xue Xiangtu suddenly realized that the real objection was revealed at this time.
When the middle-aged man in the big coat heard this, he was so shocked that his face turned purple. At this moment, the people in the tunic suit also cursed the middle-aged man in the big robe to the sky: Dog
Ma Wenjing, who looked down on others, was about to cover up, and this kind of evil moth appeared again. Everyone completely forgot that they also had ordinary dog eyes when they had spare money, and now they all blamed the middle-aged man who made fortune-telling.
After Xue Xiang's words reached this point, if Chen Guangming could no longer see that Xue Xiang was having trouble with the people in front of him, then he would have been in officialdom for so many years.
Chen Guangming slapped his hand on the yellow wood lacquered table, with a loud bang that made the chopsticks on the table jump. He pointed at the middle-aged man in the big coat and cursed: "Ma Wenjing, 'Pay first, eat later', you give it, yes
Which leader gave such confusing instructions? Could it be Xia Xia, who is in charge of logistics?
Director, do you want me to ask him to see if he has ever given such an instruction? I think you have been sitting in the office for a long time, and I am afraid that you have completely forgotten what the Chairman taught us about "close contact with the masses."
He has no class feelings for the working people at all.”
The middle-aged man in the big coat had been scolded so much that his face had already turned from red to pale. The sweat on his forehead had gathered in streams and flowed down along his forehead. His mouth kept opening and closing, but no sound came out.
After Chen Guangming finished training Ma Wenjing, he pointed at the people in Chinese tunic suits and said, "It's noon. Everyone is so drunk that they are red in the face. Do you want to work in the afternoon? If you work and let the people from below see you, what will the people think? A little bit
You don’t even pay attention to the impact! Director Chen has repeatedly issued orders to all county cadres to take strict control of themselves and prevent corruption and degeneration. Is this how you respond to Director Chen’s call? I think you are moving closer to corruption..."
Chen Guangming got into a fit and cursed for half an hour. He seemed to be getting more energetic the more he scolded. At this time, after being scolded for a long time, Ma Wenjing and the others in Mao Zedong suits also recovered their breath. Everyone stood at attention, bowed their heads, and showed humility to accept
The attitude of teaching.
At this moment, it was dinner time, and many diners from government departments had opened the door curtain of Fang Dahei. But when they saw the cold-faced tiger Secretary-General Chen Dahe was lecturing people inside, they all hurriedly retreated. How could they dare to come here?
Let's eat here. So far, there haven't been any more diners in the dining hall.
By now, Xue Xiang's anger had already dissipated. After running around all morning, he felt extremely hungry. He had important things to do in the afternoon, so he didn't dare to delay. He stood up and tried to persuade Chen Guangming to calm down, and also greeted the scolded disciple.
Ma Wenjing, who was confused, quickly served the dishes. Xue
This greeting to Xiang was probably the most beautiful voice Ma Wenjing had ever heard in his life. Ma Wenjing bowed to Chen Guangming, walked around, and ran to the kitchen without mentioning anything about ordering. Soon, the dishes were served.
There was a table full of small dishes on the floor.
Xue Xiang pulled Chen Guangming to sit down, ignoring the group of people in Chinese tunic suits standing there, and after a few words of greetings, he invited Chen Guangming to have lunch together. Although there was no wine served, there was a big fish, meat, steamed buns and a large basin of soup.
, let everyone eat and drink happily. After the meal, Chen Guangming asked
Why did Xue Xiang come to the county town? Did he need help, but Xue Xiang declined politely. He also said that he would invite Geng Fulin to meet again in the evening, but Xue Xiang excused him with something. Chen Guangming said that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, so we must get together then.
, Xue Xiang agreed with a smile, and Chen Guangming went to work without mentioning it.
……………………
A piece of bluestone about half a meter high, round on the outside and square on the inside, is pressed against an old locust tree. The tree is seven or eight feet tall, with slanting branches and lush green leaves. It casts an orange-red light on the land under the tree, splitting it.
At this time, Xue Xiang was standing on the bluestone, smoking a cigarette, wearing an apron around his waist, and holding a sharp bone-shaving knife, looking like a second-generation butcher.
Xue Xiang took a deep breath, burned out the cigarette in his hand, and then shouted to Li Yongjun to take action. Li Yongjun rolled his eyes at the captain who was only focusing on smoking, and instead yelled at Peng Chun and others with a louder voice. But he saw that Li Yongjun was not twenty.
Young man Yu opened the broken reed mat on the cart, and pulled off a bunch of mulberry branches under the reed mat to provide shade and freshness. Then he took out seven or eight fans of wild boar meat from the cart, carried it, and hung it on the old locust tree.
The thick branches of the tree extend diagonally.
The eight fat and thick pieces of wild boar meat were so shiny in the sun that they dazzled people's eyes. After the pork was gathered, Xue Xiang winked at Su Shunmin, who understood and took out a copper plate and a pipe pot from the bag.
, and started beating. The deafening clang sound immediately echoed in all directions and spread.
This place was deliberately chosen by Xue Xiang, and it was only a hundred meters away from the Wufeng Grain Factory. Because the grain factory was bureaucratic, in order to save trouble, he had to wait for the villagers to gather and handle the purchase at two o'clock in the afternoon. At this moment
, most of the villagers who came to sell grain sat down in the empty space of the cart, drinking water or eating what they brought with them.
Dry food. Because Xue Xiang had a clear position and decided to eat the food sellers, the selected location had a wide view. When the pork was just hung, someone spotted Xue Xiang's movements and paid attention to it.
When the gong sounded, those who drank water, those who ate pancakes, and those who rested on the wheel were all startled.
Hundreds of people climbed out of the car and gathered around the old locust tree, staring at the row of fat pork. The whole place was silent, and no one spoke. Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Xue Xiang took the lama handed over by Su Shunmin and said,
Then he shouted: "Old and young gentlemen,
Let me introduce myself first. We are from the Kaoshantun Brigade of the Kuaihuopu People's Commune. Looking at our attitude, you will definitely think that we are here to sell meat, right? Then you are wrong. We don't have the courage to do so.
Poaching the corner of socialism..."
Everyone burst into laughter. No one would really think of Xue Xiang as a meat seller. Not because he was so gentle and fair, but at the moment no one dared to set up a stall to sell meat in such a big way. Everyone laughed, but they still
I'm curious about what Xue Xiang is doing now that he's here and has opened the butcher shop.
Xue Xiang saw that everyone's laughter had stopped and continued: "It is true that we are not here to sell meat, but since our stall has been opened, we cannot leave without making noises or without saying anything. After all, we also represent the first-level people's government.
You can rest assured that he is definitely not a bad person who engages in speculation. The thing is like this, no, we people in the mountains have caught a lot of wild boars and killed them for meat.
At the moment, we can't finish the food; we can't afford to feed it, and we don't want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to bother ourselves. We are all class brothers, so naturally we have to take care of our own brothers first. We have agreed that I will not sell my meat.
Just exchange for food! But we country people can't afford rice and flour, and the government is tight, so we don't dare to do anything illegal. Now I'll tell you what we'll exchange..."
As soon as Xue Xiang finished speaking, the crowd started to boil. What do you think? It turns out that the so-called grains reported by Xue Xiang were actually corn stubble, soybean cakes, wheat bran, etc., which were used by farmers to feed their livestock, and
At this moment, everyone's cars were piled with these miscellaneous grains. What surprised everyone was not the backer.
The living conditions of the village commune members were so poor that they only ate livestock grains. They were really shocked by the exchange conditions issued by Xue Xiang: it was a parity exchange based on the meat price of the supply and marketing cooperative and the grain price of the grain factory. Among them,
Saving the most important meat ticket is a blessing in disguise!
The villagers were overjoyed and started talking about it. Those who were smart simply pushed the cart into the center of the circle, pointed to the sidewalk and said: "One thousand one hundred kilograms of corn stubble, how much meat do you think we will get in exchange for it?"
, Xue Xiang was asked to verify his identity.
Unexpectedly, without saying anything, Xue Xiang took off a hoof and threw it away. The hoof was cut with half of the pig's hip, weighing at least twenty or thirty kilograms. According to the market price, the pork was seventy-eight cents and the corn stubble was two or three cents.
No matter what the calculation, the young man will not lose.
With this living example, no matter how stupid you are, you will know what to do first. Everyone dispersed with a bang, turned around in a hurry, and went to push the cart. This time, the late arrival actually took advantage and turned around the front of the cart.
, arrived under the big locust tree. But those who arrived at the county through the starry night were regarded as "getting up early to catch a late market."
"Because we came early, the car was at the front of the queue and reached the gate of Wufeng Grain Factory. It was blocked in front and back. For a while, it was impossible to get out. This group of unlucky people were blocked and angry.
He screamed and yelled, "First come, first served, and you must obey the rules wherever you go." Little did he know that the only effect of these words was to attract bursts of laughter.
Everyone is thinking: It's all this time, who is telling you about being kind, courteous and thrifty? We've seen pork before, there's only so much of it, we're late, it's definitely gone. This meat is more valuable than money, but I don't know how to do it.
It costs nothing to eat or sell it in exchange for money, and you don’t have to look at the cold faces of those weighing people and skinning them alive.
This is what Xue Xiang wanted to do with his publicity. The crowd was excited. At this moment, the big locust tree had been blocked by carts. The rear could not squeeze in. The front was so anxious that it felt uncomfortable. When they saw the dispute, they raised their fists and whips.
There seemed to be signs of using force, which was not what Xue Xiang wanted to see.
Xue Xiang hurriedly raised the broken trumpet in his hand and shouted: "Don't be anxious, don't be crowded, there is a lot of pork, even if I give you the meat now, this hill is as good as food, I
It can't be transported. I think this is what I should do. Could you please help me transport the grain back to the backing village and to the ground?
After a while, we will divide the meat on the spot. There is still a lot of pork there. I guarantee that you will not go back empty-handed. Well, we will not let your hard work go in vain. For everything that arrives, we will add an extra pound of meat. Of course,
If you don't want to put in the effort, we won't force you. Business cannot be done with justice."
With Xue Xiang's statement, the commotion below stopped. After some calculation, everyone decided that it was a worthwhile trip. Although it was a bit tiring, didn't the farmers just get a hard-earned meal? Besides, they also gave me a pound of meat, right?
That’s seventy or eighty cents, tiring
After all the hard work, one day's work is worth nothing. As for whether Xue Xiang lied and deceived people, no one even thought about it, let alone what the consequences of this kind of prank of deceiving hundreds of people would be. Just look at the seven or eight fat fans.
Pig, I already have confidence in my heart.
At that moment, someone asked impatiently: "Where is the backing camp? We have to set off quickly. It's late. If we go back, we will have to travel at night."
