The old man next to Chu Heng looked to be in his sixties. Like many old farmers today, he had dark skin, a face covered with ridges, and a slight stoop in his back.
He was wearing a washed-out four-pocket cadre uniform, and a pair of military green trousers with patches on the knees. The legs of the trousers were rolled up quite a bit, revealing a pair of worn-out yellow rubber shoes on his feet.
The old man still smoked, holding the stem of a copper pot with a jade mouth in his hand, smoking one after another. The pungent smell of old dry smoke made Chu Heng, an old smoker, a little unbearable, but there was no one in the room anymore.
He could only endure and suffer the empty seat.
At this moment, he finally realized the feeling of second-hand smoke for non-smokers.
I really want to throw the old man out...
At this moment, Secretary Kong had finished speaking, and it was the turn of a deputy secretary to speak. He was talking endlessly about a lot of the content of 404, such as classes, doctrines, blah blah blah.
Chu Heng listened for a while and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Everyone is so idle, wouldn't it be better to buy more food so that everyone can have enough to eat?"
The old man next to him had very good ears and heard him very clearly. He looked at him in surprise and looked up and down. He felt a sense of admiration for seeing a close friend. He turned the cigarette rod in his hand and knocked it on the sole of his shoe. He was not afraid.
Others heard this and said to Chu Heng as if no one else was watching: "You are right, this young man, all this fussing around is not as good as getting two more kilograms of grain!"
His voice was so loud that many people in front of him heard it. Some people immediately turned to look over and wanted to scold him. However, after realizing that it was this old man, they turned around helplessly and pretended not to have heard him.
But this also startled Chu Heng, and he quickly sat upright, looking forward, as if he was listening.
He was so talkative just now that he couldn't help but muttered something, but someone heard him unexpectedly. Fortunately, it didn't cause any trouble, otherwise it would have been enough for him to drink a pot.
After all, this is not the Forty-Nine City. This dragon is very strong, but it may not be able to overpower the local snake.
You should keep your mouth shut in the future, so as not to stumble in this small ravine!
The old man looked at this guy's trembling look, and immediately looked disgusted: "I thought you were so brave, but it turns out you are a loser too!"
Chu Heng, who had just been mumbling to keep his mouth shut, couldn't help it anymore. He turned his head to look at the old man and said angrily: "How can you speak? Are you like you, stupid and shouting, or shirtless?
If you go up and fight with them, you will have eggs?"
"That's a fool!"
"Do you know what it means to have green hills without worrying about having firewood?"
The old man was not angry when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face again: "You are still a little naughty boy!"
"Wrong, I am a slippery man!" Chu Heng said with a serious face. This mistake must be corrected.
The old man looked at him again and thought that this kid was quite interesting. He thought that he was idle anyway, so he started chatting with him: "I heard that your accent is not local, why did you come to our venue?"
Already?"
"You have nothing to do, come and listen." Chu Heng happened to be quite bored, so he took out the cigarette and handed it over, and asked casually: "Man, do you know when this will be finished?"
"It's early!" The old man glanced at the rostrum, and the old man took a breath at the front door. He looked like he had a lot of experience and hummed: "I haven't said anything about the business yet. I have to listen to their nonsense first. I'll be here at noon.
Let’s have a meal, and there will be another one in the afternoon, and it will probably be dark when we finish.”
"That's really annoying." Chu Heng grinned, and then started talking to the old man: "Hey, by the way, man, I don't know what your name is yet."
"My name is Pan Dalei, from Mulangou." Pan Dalei looked at him with a smile, a shrewd look in his aged eyes, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, we should be neighbors, right?"
"Hey, how did you know?" Chu Heng was not too surprised by this, but he still acted like he was surprised, making the old man happy.
Pan Dalei, an old guy with some achievements, likes to see the way he uses his accumulated experience over the long years to crush his juniors. Hearing this, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he said in a nonchalant tone: "
What's so hard to guess? You speak with a Jingli accent, and the only person in our commune who is from Jingli is the Laoshizi Winery near our brigade."
"So that's what happened." Chu Heng seemed to suddenly realize it, and gave him a thumbs up again, saying with admiration: "He is an old comrade after all, his eyes are really poisonous!"
"Then take a look."
The old man raised his chin, and his smile became brighter. He felt that this boy was getting more and more appetizing, so he couldn't help but start chatting with him, telling him about his great achievements in his youth.
Most of them are about catching traitors and killing Japanese, and they are quite watery.
How dare he brag that he single-handedly defeated six Japanese soldiers!
Are you putting on an anti-Japanese drama?
Besides, if you really have this ability, why are you digging in the soil for food?
However, even if Chu Heng sensed that something was wrong, he didn't expose him. He just listened happily. When it was time to get married, he would marvel again and cooperate with the old man's performance seriously. It was just a matter of fun.
After a long time like this, the morning meeting finally came to an end.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it for the time being. We will continue in the afternoon. Let's go to the toilet and take a rest first, and then go to the cafeteria." A deputy secretary finished his speech with a warning, and stood up together with Secretary Kong and other leaders.
, ready to leave.
Others also stood up while whispering to each other, and there was a commotion for a while.
"Please wait!"
Chu Heng stood up quickly and started yelling, which startled Pan Dalei.
Everyone in the room froze, and turned to look at this strange handsome young man in confusion.
Secretary Kong Chuan had noticed him coming in a long time ago, and was planning on Qiao Duo to invite him to come to the cafeteria to eat with him. When he saw this, he curiously asked: "Comrade Chu Heng, what can I do?"
"It's a small matter." Chu Heng squeezed his way from the crowd to the rostrum with a smile, and said to Kong Chuan and other commune leaders: "Several leaders, I would like to take this opportunity to talk to you about the dispatch of workers. I don't know.
Can you make it easier?"
"Whatever you can do, it's up to you." A deputy secretary wanted to give him a favor, so he turned to the captains of each brigade who were still looking at each other and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment, Xiang Yang.
Director Chu Heng of the red winery has something to tell you, please be quiet."
After everyone heard this, they sat back again.
They all know that Xiangyang Red Winery has been struggling since years ago, building roads and digging canals, and they have done a lot of work for them. Moreover, it is said that it is under the direct control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has the same level as senior county officials.
If such a big leader wants to speak, we can only listen.
Pan Dalei was stunned. Damn it, this young man became the director of a factory at such a young age. What kind of background does his family have!?
The old man has been farming all his life and doesn't know a few Chinese characters. It can be said that he has no knowledge, but his brain is very bright. Just from Chu Heng's age, he can think of a lot.
"Let me bow to everyone first!"
At this time, Chu Heng on the podium suddenly bent down and bowed, while he was thinking about his words in his heart, preparing to start fooling... Huabing.
