Chapter 280 One Red Face, One White Face

Chapter 280 One Red Face, One White Face

Wang Zhong trotted all the way home, the bamboo hat and coir raincoat on his body were of little use, he was soaked through when he was on the roof of the second grandfather's house just now.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Zhong untied his bamboo hat and coir raincoat and said, "It's raining like pouring water. I can't stop watching it for a while. Later..."

In the middle of the conversation, Wang Zhong noticed that there was an extra person beside the stove.

"Han Meili? President Han?"

Seeing Han Meili, Wang Zhong was very surprised.

"Secretary Wang!" Han Meili sat by the stove, her hair was wet and simply tied into a ponytail, and her clothes were Jiang Hongguo's.

"Why are you here?" Wang Zhong took the towel handed over by Jiang Hongguo and wiped his face and head.

Han Meili said: "I came to your village specially to study!"

Jiang Hongguo said: "Look at your wet body. If you have something to do, we will talk about it later. Hurry up and wash it first, change your clothes, and don't catch a cold."

"Yes, yes, the weather is cold now, but don't catch a cold." Han Meili also hurriedly said.

It's getting late into autumn, it's okay if it doesn't rain, the weather will start to turn cold when it rains, especially if it rains again, it's easy to catch cold.

"That's fine! I'll wash it first!" Wang Zhong smiled awkwardly, and said to Jiang Hongguo, "Make some ginger tea soup!"

"It's boiling!"

While speaking, Jiang Hongguo had turned over the clothes from the back room and brought them to Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong hurriedly got into the bathroom with the clothes.

At the dinner table, after some conversation, Wang Zhong found out that Han Meili came here to learn the scriptures because only Maixiang Village in Maixiangling District did not harvest early this year, and it was also the only village in the county that had a bumper harvest.

"There's nothing to learn from this. It's just luck. We gritted our teeth and gambled. It's just luck, so we made the right bet." Wang Zhong explained.

"Grit your teeth and gamble?" Han Meili was very surprised.

Wang Zhongdao: "The meteorological station said that there is rain in some areas, but not all of them. In addition, in recent decades, the microclimate in our Maixiangling area is different from that of the whole province. After discussing with several village chiefs, I made a decision. The decision not to harvest early."

"We thought, it's all going to be lost anyway, it's just a question of how much, but the wheat in the field is growing so well, and it's another bumper harvest year, if it's harvested like this, everyone won't be able to Willing, we thought about it, discussed it for several days, and finally decided to give it a go.”

Han Meili said sincerely: "There is a loss in harvesting early, but if you don't harvest early, if it is really rained by a torrential rain, the loss will be even greater. You can make such a decision. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have."

Wang Zhong asked: "By the way, how much has your village's production decreased this year compared to last year?"

"About [-]%!" Han Meili said with a look of regret and remorse: "When we harvested, it was the time when the wheat grains were ripe, and most of the wheat was still unripe. Really turn up, this [-]% is still less.

Wang Zhongdao: "It's just an occasional reduction in production. It's no big deal. Summarizing experience, learning lessons, taking a long-term view, and working together wholeheartedly to improve production are better than anything else."

Han Meili nodded approvingly and said, "As expected of Wang Zhishu, he is just amazing."

"It's time to eat."

Jiang Hongguo brought the cooked vegetable dumplings to the table, greeted Han Meili and said, "President Han, you must be hungry at this late hour, let's eat first."

"President Han, let's have a full stomach first." Wang Zhong also smiled and said, "Let's chat slowly when we're full."

After dinner, it was still raining outside, and it was getting dark, so they couldn't take Han Meili to visit the village. The two sat on the kang to discuss, and Wang Zhong could always tell a lot of simple and straightforward questions about Han Meili. With Bai's answer, I can still give vivid examples. After talking for more than an hour, Wang Zhong drank a jar of water, and Jiang Hongguo helped Wang Zhong refill it. Only then did Han Meili realize the passage of time, and hurriedly ended the conversation .

During the break between the two of them discussing, Jiang Hongguo had already packed up the wing room, and immediately led Han Chunmei to the wing room.

At present, the only living room in the house is the East Wing. Fortunately, there are no books in the East Wing. The books that Wang Zhong bought in the past, such as miscellaneous geography, strange novels, etc., were all put into the box by Wang Zhong. , not placed aboveboard on the bookshelf.

Otherwise, Wang Zhong really wouldn't dare to let Han Meili live in the East Wing.

"Sister-in-law, the decoration of this wing of your house is really exquisite!" Han Meili looked curiously at the extremely delicately furnished east wing, her eyes were full of light.

"There are also desks and bookshelves!"

"I usually don't have any hobbies, I just like to write a few words, read books and so on. I write the couplets in the village every year during the Chinese New Year." Jiang Hongguo didn't think too much.

"These hanging on the wall are all written by Wang Zhi?" Han Meili walked to the front of a word curiously, and read it from beginning to end.

"Yes, it's all written by my head." Jiang Hongguo said with a smile.

Then Han Meili's voice sounded: "Qinyuan Chunxue!"

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only..."

But after thinking about it, he stopped.

"The word you read is one of my favorite words when I am in charge. I am a farmer, so I don't understand it well, and I don't remember it clearly." Jiang Hongguo said a little said embarrassingly.

"It's really well written, the words are good, it sounds good, and the characters are good and beautiful." Han Chunmei also praised with a smile.

Jiang Hongguo said: "President Han, the quilts are all here. If you still need something, you can just greet me and don't see me. It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry for your inconvenience!" Han Meili said politely.

"The visitor is a guest, so if you say this, you will be offended!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Hongguo went back to the main house.

Holding the oil lamp, Han Meili looked at the poems and couplets hanging on the wall. Although Han Meili couldn't recognize more than half of the characters, this did not prevent her from appreciating Wang Zhong's calligraphy with both form and spirit.

In the main room, Wang Zhong was telling Ziping and Zi'an a bedtime story. The two little guys were lying side by side, listening intently. Jiang Hongguo smiled slightly and went into the bathroom.

At night, the two little guys were sleeping soundly. Jiang Hongguo was limp all over, lying on Wang Zhong's chest, panting heavily, extremely tired.

"Be quiet, don't wake up Ziping and Zi'an." Wang Zhong's voice rang in his ears.

Jiang Hongguo raised her head angrily, gave her usual white glance, and said in a low voice, "You're still ashamed to say it."

Wang Zhong chuckled and said, "I have a thick skin, so why not be embarrassed."

Jiang Hongguo was speechless at this sentence, not knowing how to refute.

"By the way, there are a lot of things going on in the oil press workshop recently, and it will be autumn harvest and autumn planting soon, and the family affairs can only be hard on you." Wang Zhong said with some emotion.

"It's hard work, there are only a few things at home, you don't have to worry, I can take care of them." Jiang Hongguo lay in Wang Chong's arms, and said with concern: "You, on the other hand, are as busy as a spinning top every day, and there is no time to rest. Take care of your body."

"It's okay. I'm in good health and full of energy. Besides, I'm a doctor myself. I know it well. You don't have to worry."

"No matter how good your body is, it can't withstand such a constant toss."

Wang Zhong smiled and didn't answer. He was silent for a while, and then said again: "Recently, I may not be able to go hunting in the mountains. After the autumn sowing is over, I won't be so busy. I will go to the mountains to hunt some game and come back. You and your sons make up for it."

"Ok!"

As the couple talked, their voices became lower and lower.

The next day, Wang Zhong handed Han Meili to Ma Renlian to entertain him, and then he turned around and went to the oil press workshop, watching the villagers work.

Soon it will be the autumn harvest.

"President Niu, where is the wife of the president?" The villagers gathered in the field, holding various tools in their hands. Xiao Zhuan is a person who does not take too much trouble when he sees the excitement. Immediately asked six questions.

"What is the president's wife, don't talk nonsense!" Niu boldly scolded softly.

"Ouch, President Niu, we are still modest..."

"Xiao Zhuan!" Xiao Zhuan had just uttered the yin and yang words, but was interrupted by Ma Renlian: "Bold daughter-in-law is not feeling well, and she has already asked for leave with me. Don't be yin and yang here. If you have this skill, why don't you break up more?" A few corns."

"Village Chief, I was just joking with Brother Bold." Xiao Zhuan explained.

Niu Bold also helped to explain, but Ma Renlian didn't intend to pursue it.

"Okay, everyone is here, don't delay, let's start quickly, finish packing early and stop work early." Ma Renlian said.

"okay!"

Niu boldly looked at the crowd, his old face was a little bit uncomfortable, but he still gave orders loudly: "Everyone, get to your position and start working."

Niu boldly gave an order, and all the members of the village east club started to move.

Although Ma Renlian is the head of the village, he must obey Niu Bold's management in production, without exception.

The work point system in Maixiang Village is a bit complicated. In addition to hard work, it also depends on the efficiency of the work. When plowing the land, there is a scoring method for plowing, and there is also a scoring method for harvesting. There is also a set of scoring rules that vary according to the division of labor.

The two large clubs in the east and west of the village are divided into eight groups. The group leaders change every quarter. While working, they are responsible for counting the attendance rate and work efficiency of the group members. Finally, they are collected by the two presidents, and the two groups Report to the village chief Ma Renlian.

Ma Renlian counts the work points, and then Ma Renli, the vice president of the village west society who is also the village accountant, distributes the grain collected in the village one by one according to the calculated work points and the annual output, and then distributes them to the villagers in a unified manner.

Nowadays, except for the private plots of each family, all the land in the village is collectively owned, and all farm tools and livestock in the village are also discounted into the cooperative and taken over to the collective.

The work point system of Maixiang Village is based on the principle of fairness and justice, based on distribution according to work, and aimed at the strong and the weak. It also fully takes into account the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village, such as the elderly over [-], and children under the age of ten. , the disabled, paralyzed, and those who are too sick to get out of bed, even if they do not participate in labor every day, they still have basic work points subsidies.

In the evening, when returning home, Ma Renlian caught up with Niu Daring who was walking in front, exchanged some pleasantries, and then got straight to the point: "Bold, it's the busy season of farming. Since your family Qiao Yue has asked for leave, the work points will be gone. !"

Niu boldly said: "I know! Thank you, Cai Baozi."

Ma Renlian persuaded: "Bold, it's not that I talk too much. It's fine when I'm not busy, but now it's the busy farming season. Even the elderly and children in the village are working together. The second grandfather is in his sixties, and he also works every day. I went to the fields with us and never asked for leave. Your daughter-in-law is young, so it's a bit outrageous to find excuses to dodge every day."

Niu Bold's face was not very good-looking, and he reluctantly explained: "She is really not feeling well today."

Ma Renlian sighed, and continued to speak earnestly: "It's fine to fool others with these words. We all know what happened to your Qiao Yue. You heard what Xiao Zhuan said just now. You have a high prestige in the village. Although the other people in the village didn't say anything in front of you, they talked a lot in private, but everyone gave you face and didn't say much, but you are the president of the village east club, and you and your family members have to Be a role model.”

"Let's not talk about the far ones, but let's talk about Brother Big Chong. He is the party secretary of our village. His family, Zi Ping and Zi An, are just at the age of trouble, but the two of them still go to the fields at the same time."

Niu Bold's face was as black as the one who just got out from under the stove, and he didn't have the face to answer Ma Renlian's words.

"Even if we don't care about these things, the amount of our work points is closely related to the amount of food we get. You are really good at working, but can you alone be worth two people? The work points you earn in a day can equal two or three mouths of other people's family." People and horses? There is only so much food recycled in the field, and if others share more, you will share less. You can't figure out such a simple account, right?"

"..."

In the evening, smoke rose from the chimneys of every household in the village, but Niu Dadan's house crackled and quarreled again. The noise was so loud that even Wang Zhong's house in the courtyard could hear it.

"Father, Uncle Bold and Aunt Qiao are fighting again!"

A family of four was having dinner around the Eight Immortals table. Zi Ping, who was standing on the bait, heard the quarrel, turned his head and glanced in the direction of Niu Bold's family, then pointed there and said.

"Hurry up and eat your meal!" Jiang Hongguo hurriedly pulled her son's hand back.

Zian also wanted to say something, just in time to meet Wang Zhong's sweeping gaze, and immediately buried himself in eating again.

After arguing for a while, the family stopped after eating.

"What's the matter again?" Jiang Hongguo frowned while clearing the table.

Wang Zhongdao: "What else could it be? It must be because of Qiao Yue's leave today. When he came back just now, Ren Lian told me that he had talked about it with Zhao bold today."

Jiang Hongguo immediately came to his senses, looked in the direction of the Niu's yard, and said with emotion: "It's not a big deal for these two to live a life, arguing every day!"

Wang Zhong thought for a while and said: "Look at the two of them, I'll go to Ren Lian to discuss it, I can't let Bold and the two of them quarrel like this every day."

Jiang Hongguo said with a serious face: "You go!"

When Wang Zhong walked to the front yard, Ma Renlian was also standing in the yard, with his hands behind his back, tiptoe looking in the direction of Niu Bold's family.

"Big bug!" Seeing Wang Zhong coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Have you eaten?" Wang Zhong asked.

"just eaten!"

"Let's go out for a walk!"

Ma Renlian heard the meaning behind Wang Zhong's words, nodded and said: "Okay!"

The two took a stroll outside, and after discussing it, they went straight to Niu Bold's house.

The kerosene lamp was lit in the main room, and Niu boldly sat on the steps at the entrance of the main room, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, puffing out his mouthfuls of smoke, his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was not very good-looking.

"Bold, why are you sitting here?"

"Da Chong, Ren Lian?" Niu Bold stood up immediately: "I'm taking a rest, why are you two here?"

"Where's Qiao Yue?" The two looked at each other without answering, Wang Zhong asked.

"In the house!"

"Shall we go inside and chat for a while?"

"Please in the house, please in the house!"

Niu boldly welcomed the two of them into the room, and Qiao Yue, who heard the voice, had already stood up, standing on the edge of the kang, a little embarrassed, but forced a smile on her face.

"Secretary Wang, Chief Ma, you are here!"

"Sit down, sit down!"

Looking at Qiao Yue's enthusiastic appearance, it doesn't look like she was having a big fight with Niu Bold just now.

The four of them sat on the kang, Niu Daudao and Qiao Yue sat inside, Wang Zhong and Ma Renlian leaned outside.

"Bold Brother, Sister-in-Law, let's stop messing around. Ren Lian and I are here just for the two of you." Wang Zhong said.

Ma Renlian said: "Brother Bold, Sister-in-law, the two of you live together, although it is said that you fight at the head of the bed and make peace at the end of the bed, but we have never seen such a quarrel with the two of you. Is your life going well?"

Niu Bold and Qiao Yue looked at each other, and immediately turned their heads in unison.

Wang Zhongdao: "Comrade Qiao Yue, although you say Brother Bold is capable, and the work points earned by one person can support the two of you, but you can barely support them. You all know how much money your family has. We can't just look at the present, we have to pay attention." Looking at the future, when you have children and only rely on Brother Bold, how will you support yourself?"

Niu boldly kept his head sullen and didn't speak, but the slight change in his expression showed that he had heard it. Qiao Yue forced a smile and explained: "We don't have children yet!"

Wang Zhong glanced at Qiao Yue, but didn't point it out: "Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future. The two of you can't live at the same time, and you can't always make room for the other. What the couple cares about is that you make room for me. , I will accommodate you a little bit, today you give in a little bit, tomorrow I will take a step back, so that life can go on."

"Don't we have a good life, it's our temper..."

Qiao Yue still wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Wang Zhong sharply.

"Qiao Yue!"

After a scolding, I saw Wang Zhong sternly said: "I'm saving face for you now, taking care of Brother Bold's face, so I didn't point it out, so I told you well, don't push your nose on your face, this Everyone has seen your performance for a while, and we all know it in our hearts, so it’s all right to fool District Chief Wanchun with your words, do you still want to fool us?”

"At the beginning, you were the one who cried and insisted on staying in the village. The Wanchun district chief approved the land and distributed the house for you. Since you took the initiative to apply to stay, you should put yourself in the right position. You are now a farmer. , she is no longer a young lady who does not touch the spring water with her ten fingers."

"Out of the ten days you worked in the field, seven or eight days you were on leave. You didn't even cook at home, and you didn't feed the pigs you raised. You waited for Brother Bold to come back to do everything. Bold worked hard all day long outside. You work hard, and you have to serve you when you come back. We live so close together, do you think our eyes are all blind?

We ordinary people turned over with great difficulty and became the masters of the house, but you are so good, pretending to be virtuous outside, but at home you are oppressing our President Niu in a different way. Are you planning to go back to the past and learn from those landlords and old fortunes? Exploitation and oppression of our farmers? "

"I don't! I don't!" Qiao Yue panicked immediately: "Secretary Wang, I really don't."

"You don't listen to what you say, but how you do it." Wang Zhong said coldly: "Since you married Brother Bold, your performance has been getting worse and worse in the past few years. Originally, Ren Lian persuaded me , said that you were confused for a while, let me give you some time, and let you correct it slowly, but I see your sophistry posture, and you don't realize that you are wrong at all."

"We work together to set up cooperatives to increase the labor force and promote production, but your performance is clearly dragging us all back and dragging the country back."

"Wang Zhishu, I don't, I really don't mean that, I'm not feeling well, I'm really not feeling well!" Qiao Yue was completely panicked: "I didn't want to hold everyone back, I really Physical discomfort······"

"Okay!" Wang Zhong interrupted Qiao Yue's words: "Don't talk about these fooling people, you have such a complexion, your bold complexion is not as good as yours, and you have the nerve to tell me that you are not feeling well.

If you don't want to live with boldness, that's fine. I'll report your matter to the district and the county, and let District Chief Wang and Secretary Zhou take a look. What happened to the people they stayed behind? What kind of virtue is it? You can see how Secretary Zhou and District Chief Wang will deal with you. "

Qiao Yue was so frightened that she was dumbfounded. After a while, she hurriedly got up, knelt on the kang, and grabbed Wang Zhong's sleeve: "Wang Zhishu, I beg you, don't report it, I promise to change it, I promise Don't be lazy in the future, just give me another chance."

Tears flowed while talking, and her face was full of fear and panic.

Niu Bold also looked at Wang Zhong blankly, he even forgot to smoke the cigarette in his mouth, he didn't expect Wang Zhong's matter to become so serious in Wang Zhong's mouth.

"Niu Bold!" Wang Zhong threw away Qiao Yue's hand, his face was as cold as ice, and he didn't care about Gu Qiaoyue's cries. Daughter-in-law, when she was in our No. [-] club, she performed very well, she was vying to do all kinds of work, why did she ask for leave after marrying you, and tried her best to avoid being lazy and not working."

"I..." Niu boldly wanted to explain, but his mouth grew long, but he didn't know what to say.

"What are you, Comrade Niu Daudao, this is how you are the president? How can someone who can't even manage his own wife manage the dozens of people in the East Club of our village! I seriously doubt your ability now!"

"I..." Niu boldly opened his mouth, but lowered his head again. There was really no way to explain it, because every word Wang Zhong said was true.

Hard facts.

"Big bug, big bug!" Ma Renlian immediately blushed: "It's not as serious as you said."

"Recently, there are so many things going on in the village. There is an oil press workshop and autumn harvest. There are a lot of things to do. Bold is the president of the village east club. He is busy organizing members, counting work points, and busy with field work. Son, it's inevitable that you can't take care of it for a while!"

"Besides, how hard is he to work boldly? He has done a good job as the president in the past few years. All of us have seen it. We can't deny his credit just because of his negligence."

Wang Zhong said with a stern face: "A merit is a merit, and a demerit is a demerit. He is the head of the company. Doesn't the village give him more food?"

"The country has national laws, and the family has family rules. When we were in the senior clubs in the city, we all said it well. If you make meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded. If you make mistakes, you will be punished. How can merit and demerit be confused."

"If you make a mistake, you must be punished. No one is an exception, including me, the party secretary, and you, the village chief."

"Yes, you are right. Bold and Qiao Yue did make a mistake, but this is the first time for them, and we don't need to go online like this. We have to report this matter to the district and county!" Ma Renlian persuaded with earnestness.

"Why do we have to give the couple a chance to correct themselves first!"

"Besides, the bold couple have just been interviewed by county reporters and have been published in newspapers. After all, this is not a glorious thing. If it is really exposed, not only will Maixiang Village not look good, but the district The county is not feeling well either, we have to deal with this matter internally."

"I did make a mistake, and I accept the punishment!" Niu boldly poked his neck and said, "It's because I got too used to Qiao Yue and didn't persuade her well."

Qiao Yue was too frightened to speak at this moment, she lowered her head, with a pitiful look with lowered eyebrows and tears in her eyes.

"You are indeed wrong!" Wang Zhong said sharply with a cold face.

"Secretary, you see that Bold is the president of the East Club of our village, and it's the busy season of farming. If we make a big splash, it might hurt morale."

Wang Zhong hesitated for a moment, frowned and glanced coldly at Niu Bold and Qiao Yue, and still spoke coldly: "Then what good idea do you have?"

Ma Renlian said: "See if we can do this. It's not a big mistake to be bold after all. Let's deduct ten days' work points to let him improve his memory. As for Qiao Yue! The recent performance is indeed too bad. She is in school. There are not many work points every day, so let's mark her a demerit first, deduct a month's work points, and let her remember it well! But let's not announce it for now, and we will report it after the busy farming season is over. What do you think? "

"What you said makes some sense." Wang nodded his head, finally let go, and then looked at Niu Bold and his wife sitting across from him and said, "Do you two have any opinions on the handling method Ren Lian said? "

"I have no objection!" Now Niu Bold wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in directly, so there would be no objection.

"I have no objection either!" Qiao Yue also hurriedly expressed her opinion.

"Punishment alone is not enough, the two of you have to express your opinion to me!" Wang Zhong looked at Qiao Yue and said, "Especially you, Qiao Yue, you have read books, but you should understand the truth that you can never do it again. It’s the time when we work together to start production, if you continue to be passive and sabotage and slow down our Maixiang Village, next time it won’t be as simple as deducting a month’s work points.”

"Secretary Wang, Chief Ma, I promise, there will never be a next time, I will definitely change it." Qiao Yue hurriedly promised again and again, for fear that Wang Zhong would go back on his word.

"Well, the punishment is the same as what Ren Lian said, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, this matter will be announced after the autumn broadcast is over. You two will increase your memory!"
