Just when he was thinking about it, ding, ding, ding, ding, the phone on the table rang. Xue Xiang looked up his watch and was happy. He picked up the phone and said with a smile: "Baby, what are you eating?"
The reason why Xue Xiang can determine who is calling just by looking at the time is naturally the result of long-term training. It turns out that since Xue Xiang returned to Xiaoshan County, the little guy would always call and harass her during lunch every day, usually while she was holding her
After filling the bowl with vegetables, she called and ate while talking on the phone, as if Xue Xiang had become her appetite.
"Hehe, listen up, there are cold broccoli, fragrant tofu, braised big carp, roasted goose legs, and my favorite red fruit..."
After announcing the menu, the sound of chewing came from the phone. Xue Xiang knew that this was the little guy eating, and also knew that the name of the dish the little guy reported was just what was in her bowl, because every time she came back with the dishes, she would eat again.
Report it once.
"It smells so good, my brother is drooling..."
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, I remembered you guys. I chose a big bag and had it sent to you. You wait to receive it. Remember, the black bag is for you, the red bag
It’s for Sister Xia, don’t make a mistake..."
Although the little guy only lived in the Xia family's courtyard for a few days, he developed a relationship with the Xia family's little sister. Every time he chatted, he would always ask Xue Xiang a few questions, especially about the pile of rags she collected last time.
To make her worry, he always told Xue Xiang to tell the little girl of the Xia family not to sell it, and to sell it together when she comes next time.
Xue Xiang responded with a smile and coaxed her to eat quickly, but the little guy said to eat more and less. Xue Xiang was so anxious that he asked her about her study situation. At this time, the little guy was completely dumbfounded.
When the food was gone, Dudu ran away.
Xue Xiang knew that the little guy was now in the second grade in a government-run primary school in Yangcheng. He heard from Xue Anyuan that that elementary school was providing high-quality education and only accepted students who had passed strict tests. I believe that the playful girl like the little guy must be someone like
Those who do not attend classes. In fact, Xue Xiang may not agree with high-quality education. He knows that this is the origin of fractional theory in later generations, and he does not want the little guy to become an examination machine. However, this is what Xue Anyuan chose, and he is not easy to comment on it.
Xue Xiang was thinking about when he would find a chance to have a good talk with Xue Anyuan, and the little guy's voice came from the receiver over there: "Oh, the food this time is not good, it's all meat. I won't pay for it, it's all my fault, sister.
She ate up all the broccoli and red fruits. Not only did she eat them, she also gave a lot of them to her handsome brother. It was really annoying..."
Xue Xiang knew that the little guy was talking about Xue Lin and Xu Cuihuang. The two had already made an engagement and were getting married on New Year's Eve before the New Year. Now, they were living together far away from Xue An. Xue Xiang took advantage of the opportunity to accompany the little guy for dinner
I spent a lot of time talking to the two of them a few times.
"Be careful if the elder sister hears it, I'll spank you!"
"Humph, the eldest sister didn't dare to hit me when the uncle was here. Last time I broke the big vase at the door and the eldest sister scolded me. I told the uncle, and the uncle scolded her at night. Hehe, uncle
He's so kind to me! He's better than you, big guy..."
Muttering, it took Xue Xiang more than half an hour to have a meal before he finally coaxed the little guy to hang up the phone. After a while, Xue Xiang thought of Xiao Wan and Xiao Yi in Beijing, and dialed home again, but it was Lei Xiao.
Suddenly, it turned out that Lei Xiaotian, Chen Fusheng, and Zhu Shijun led a group of people to eat hot pot at home. Xue Xiang chatted with the group for more than ten minutes before talking to Xiao Wan and Xiao Yi.
However, this Xiaowan, Xiaoyi's sister and brother didn't call as frequently as the little one, but they were quite frequent. Xue Xiang also knew their situation very well. Xiaowan was now a senior in high school and was busy studying all day long.
, Xiaoyi was just a young boy, and he went crazy with his play. Fortunately, Xue Xiang asked Lei Xiaotian to take care of him, so he didn't cause any trouble.
The conversation with the siblings didn't take more than a few minutes. Yin Yin told them to pay attention to their diet and clothing, and also said a few words of encouragement. Xue Xiang hung up the phone.
As soon as Xue Xiang hung up the phone, Chu Zhaohui came in carrying a food box. In the food box was the lunch that Chu Zhaohui brought back for Xue Xiang.
The lunch was sumptuous as usual, with two meats and two vegetables, full of color and flavor. Xue Xiang took the food box, spread out several newspapers on his desk, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and ate happily. Xue Xiang had a bad eating habit.
After a while, he asked him to destroy all the things in the food box, "Zhaohui, I think next time you don't want to go to the canteen to get food by yourself. Why don't you go to the canteen and use it with me? Why bother running around like this?"
Xue Xiang invited Chu Chaohui to have dinner with him more than once, but Chu Chaohui always gave him various excuses, and this time was no exception.
Seeing Chu Chaohui's sincere words, Xue Xiang stopped persuading him. He took the tea from Chu Chaohui, took a sip and said, "Chaohui, are you from Ma Tou Township too?"
"Yes, County Magistrate, are you still thinking about things in Qiaokou Village?" After getting along with each other these days, not only did Xue Xiang have a good impression of Chu Zhaohui, but Chu Zhaohui admired and envied Xue Xiang very much, and naturally he was very close to her.
Since he was young, he didn’t have so many worries when he spoke, “County Magistrate, let me tell you, don’t think about it. The situation in Qiaokou Village is basically what I said.
The basket was revealed that the heads of the two households involved, Kong Erling and Yan Monk, were both well-known village bully gangsters in Ma Tou Township. Originally, these two people had occupied a lot of good land in the village.
They all set their sights on each other's good land, so they each made an appointment with a group of people and started a fight, which caused a big mess, prompting Minister Song to send Captain Gao of the militia brigade into the village to impose martial law..."
"Zhaohui, although I am not from the countryside, I have lived in the countryside. The farmers may seem contemptible, but in fact they have the most self-esteem in their bones. That day, you were not here. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Farmer brothers in their twenties and thirties, in the hard
Is it wrong to kowtow on the gravel road and get blood dripping from the kowtow?
Because how many acres of land have been occupied, what kind of commotion can be caused? There are twenty or thirty people. No matter how domineering those Kong Erling and Monk Yan you mentioned are, they still dare to occupy hundreds of acres of these twenty or thirty people.
If you want to go to the land, you want to be a landlord? If they are brave enough, it will be a sin of taking a gun!"
Xue Xiang has been thinking about what happened in Qiaokou Village for more than a day or two. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. How could two village tyrants be so capable?
Qi Ming and Yu Dingzhong also paid attention to it. Think about when they were in Yuli Village, Mayor Su cleaned up
Wu Yingxiong's method was to put Wu Yingxiong into prison with only two tiger skins and a pair of handcuffs, but Wu Yingxiong's thugs who were all over the place did not dare to move. Even Kong Erling and Monk Yan from Qiaokou Village
, and even if it goes ten times higher and faces the state machinery, it will only end up being turned into powder.
Thinking about it this way, just send someone to jail the troublemaker. Why do you need dozens of militiamen to come out? The people in the village will not fight against the government for the two village tyrants. Thinking of this, Xue Xiang naturally guessed
Come here
Martial law is not a martial law at all. Kong Erling and Monk Yan are afraid that it is Fang Laoshi and others who kowtowed on that day. Of course, Xue Xiang could only think of this section, but he could not guess the bridge.
What secrets does the village hide?
After hearing what Xue Xiang said, Chu Chaohui immediately put down the dishes he was packing and said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate, according to your analysis, there must be something hidden in it. How about I take the time to go back to my hometown?"
, help me find out."
Xue Xiang waved his hand: "Since they have put the entire village under martial law, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out anything. It's better for me to look for it directly. As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing. This time, I want to see this
What kind of evil is hidden in Qiaokou Village?"
It is now mid-October. The Northeast is not as hot as the South. It has already entered late autumn. You need to wear a sweater at night to resist the cold and humidity. It is already ten o'clock in the evening. A restaurant at the head of Qiaokou Village, Ma Tou Township
Inside the bungalow, the fire was blazing into the sky. From a distance, through the hole where the window was missing, you could see the crowds of people inside, shouting and drinking, making it very lively.
This is a house of about 20 square meters. In the early years, it was a station set up by the county water conservancy station to observe water levels, because this is not only the head of Qiaokou Village, but also close to Laoguankou.
Although the name of Laoguankou does not sound impressive, its origin is very famous. It is a water vein where the tributaries of the Songhua River are divided into. Therefore, the power of Laoguankou is so great that it can be said that the entire Huayuan area
The water storage reservoir. Because Laoguankou has a prominent position in the entire Huayuan area, a water level observation point was set up here at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Who would have imagined that in 1969, the Songnen Plain earthquake cut off the branch of the Songhua River leading to Laoguankou, cutting off the water vein. From then on, Laoguankou became a complete reservoir, but not in the Huayuan area.
The reservoir is a reservoir in Xiaoshan County. Laoguankou has lost its prominent position, and the water level observation point naturally has no need to exist. Here, this bungalow has been used for various purposes.
In the first five years of the 1970s, it was the famous cowshed in Qiaokou Village. After 1976, it became a concentration camp for the elderly. It was not until the famous meeting in 1978 that the organization's care for special groups improved a lot.
The lonely old man was moved to another place, and the place became empty again.
"Hehe, hehe, mangy head, why don't you fucking act like an adulterer and raise carps?"
"Five leaders, eight horses, Lao Zhang, you lost again, drink up..."
At this moment, this empty bungalow has become a hot pot restaurant. Moreover, the flat place is not very spacious, but because it is empty, not even the earthen bed is left. More than 20 people are crowded inside, which is not a big deal.
Crowded.
But I saw, on the two fires in the middle, two large black pots were set up. The pots were all red and simmering. Huge slices of meat and big bones were tumbling among them. There were large wine jars on all sides, and a bunch of people.
It was extremely lively with shouting and drinking.
If Chu Chaohui were here, his pair of glasses as thick as a wine bottle would be broken to pieces.
It turns out that according to legend, the two chief culprits who provoked a large-scale armed fight, and their mortal enemies, Kong Erleng and Yan Monk, each took their wine bowls. Five leaders, six or six, filled the room with laughter! (To be continued. If you like
