The Wildest Urban Marriages: Contract Couples

Chapter 13

Miao Miao and his team first found Zhang Yidan's ward, and saw a dark-looking middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed, with bandages on his head and legs, hanging on an IV, half-slanted on the bed, a three-year-old man A slightly fat teenage woman sat next to her and entered the ward. Zhou Min, the town cadre accompanying her, introduced that it was Zhang Yidan lying on the hospital bed.

Zhou Min also told Zhang Yidan the identities of Miao Miao and his party and the reason for their visit.

Zhang Yidan and the others heard that an editor and reporter from a newspaper in the province had come, and Zhang Yidan and the woman cheered up immediately.With a mournful face, he said: "Mr. Miao, you can see that the cadres engaged in work and broke the legs of our farmers."

"How can you talk like that? You are the one who wants to dance, and no one is forcing you." Zhou Min, who was on the side, felt uncomfortable and interrupted.

"I didn't force——, I didn't force you to come to my house in the middle of the night and do something. I'm a murderer. They surrounded my house like a criminal." Zhang Yidan immediately raised his voice when he heard Wednesday's rebuttal.

Zhou Min wanted to say something more, but Miao Miao looked at Zhou Min, shook his head slightly, and signaled him not to speak.Holding back his breath on Wednesday, he stood aside and said nothing.

"Why did you run away? They seem to want your wife to perform birth control surgery?" Miao Miao asked in a very gentle voice.

"Sterilization, who wants to have it done? I haven't asked for it for several years. Now I have to have it done again. Who wants to do it?" Zhang Yidan's wife said dissatisfied.

"I heard that a few years ago, sterilization was not implemented, and the phenomenon of unplanned births is spreading here again," Miao Miao changed the subject.

"In the countryside, who doesn't want two or three children? When they get old in the future, someone will take care of them. It's not like you who get wages. When they get old, they will receive retirement wages."

Through conversations with Zhang Yidan and his wife, Miao Miao learned that they still have a lot of thoughts about having more children and more blessings.

After leaving Zhang Yidan's ward, Zhou Min took Miao Miao and the others to another inpatient building to visit the beaten deputy mayor Su San.Entering Su San's ward, I saw Su San lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip on his face. There were many bruises and deep scratches on his face. Seeing Miao Miao and the others, he struggled to get up.Miao Miao and the others hurriedly signaled to them not to get up.Sitting next to her was an old woman in her sixties. Zhou Min told Miao Miao that this old woman was Su San's mother.Miao Miao revealed her identity and purpose to them.

When the old woman heard that it was someone from the provincial newspaper, she excitedly took Miao Miao's hand and said, "Big reporter, you have to speak for us, my son has been wronged a lot, because of work, He even provoked a severe beating. What do you think of the beating? The beating man was fine, and he didn’t have to be arrested. Now he is saying that my son will be punished and removed from his post. He is only 28 years old. Just his son, just watch him."

"Mother, what are you talking about? It makes people laugh." Su San who was lying on the bed interrupted her mother from continuing.

Su Sanban stood up, and continued: "Actually, such a thing happened, it was unexpected. No one thought that Zhang Yidan would jump off the building and break his leg, but the incident has already happened, and I regret it." It’s useless. I also know that someone posted this on the Internet. There are a lot of people scolding me on the Internet, and the pressure on the leaders in the town is also great. Seriously, too serious is not good."After speaking, Su San sighed, as if she didn't want to say anything more about this matter.

From Su San's tired look, it can be seen that he was under too much pressure during this time.Seeing his expression, Miao Miao didn't want to ask more questions.

Miao Miao and the others also found several doctors. The attending doctor who saw Zhang Yidan told Miao Miao and the others that although Zhang Yidan fell heavily, he was fine and would not be paralyzed. The sequelae, just have to stay in the hospital for a few months.After hearing this news, Miao Miao felt a little comfort in her heart, for Su San and Zhang Yidan.

On the way home, Zhou Min told Miao Miao: "This Zhang Yidan is related to the former Director of the Family Planning Commission of Wujiang City. Because of this background, Zhang Yidan's family is also very violent in the village. What? The work is not very cooperative. Zhang Yidan’s family is like that. There is no punishment for extra births, and no birth control measures are implemented. This has a very bad influence on the village. What to do to his family, now that his relatives are gone, and the villagers have great opinions, so this time, he has been taken seriously. Who would have thought of such a thing.”

Miao Miao asked Zhou Min curiously: "Where are Zhang Yidan's relatives now?"

"Jianghai City is where you are, but I don't know exactly what unit it is."

"Oh, really?"

"You may not know, I heard that Zhang Yidan's relatives are very powerful, and they can influence some leaders in our city and county if they leave. Let's just talk about Zhang Yidan's relatives beating the town cadres, otherwise they would be detained. Damn, now the police station only pays a symbolic fine of a few hundred yuan, and they don't pay a penny for Su San's medical expenses. It's not the interference of his relatives, can it be like this? It’s been bad luck for eight lifetimes, a farm boy without any background, the provincial civil servant who passed the exam was sent here to be the deputy mayor, and he is very serious and responsible in his work.”

"No wonder listening to his mother just now doesn't sound like your accent."

"Yes, outsiders, we grassroots cadres are very angry about this matter, but there is nothing we can do about it. The superiors criticized us for not paying attention to our working methods, the common people scolded us for being wronged, and the public opinion also turned to Zhang Yidan. It’s hard for us grassroots cadres who are double-sided.”

At ten o'clock in the evening, after Miao Miao finished washing, she lay on the bed and still couldn't sleep. After listening to the words of her old classmates, and the conversations of Zhang Yidan, Su San, and Zhou Min, Miao Miao felt very emotional. For some reason, For no reason.Miao Miao got up, pushed open the window, and looked out the window, it was pitch black, only a few wisps of light faintly transmitted from one or two buildings, making the night even more hazy.It seems that the cadres in Lijiang Town have already fallen asleep, and the yard is very quiet.Miao Miao took out her cell phone and dialed Jerry's cell phone, but there was no answer. Miao Miao wanted to tell him that she might have to live in Lijiang Town for a few days, because during dinner, her old classmate told her that within three to five days, The county will hold a special meeting to make a conclusion.

Miaomiao felt a little disappointed when she didn't get through to Jerry.During this period of time, Miao Miao felt that he had less and less time to communicate with Jerry. Every time he came back very late, when he was in a good mood, he hugged Miao Miao to express his feelings, and fell asleep when he was done.After warming up, Miao Miao wanted to have an intimate chat with Jerry as before, but he always patted Miao Miao's face and said tiredly, "Baby, go to sleep."His face was crooked, and he fell asleep again.

Miao Miao opened her tired eyes and looked out of the window. The heavy curtains could hardly block the morning sun. It seemed that it was already dawn. Miao Miao looked at her phone and found that it was past nine o'clock. Maybe it was because she didn't sleep well the night before. Last night, I thought about some more things. After Miao Miao fell asleep in a daze, she had many messy dreams. For a while, she dreamed that Su San’s family was fighting with Zhang Yidan’s family, and for a while, she dreamed of Jerry and a Strange women together, after a while dreamed of a tsunami, and followed a group of escaped crowds, running desperately to the highest mountain, but each dream was not very clear, very vague, Miao Miao could only vaguely remember Just some fragments.

What's the matter, Miao Miao rarely dreams like this.

After Miao Miao finished washing, she came to the office of her old classmate Li Biki, and saw an old woman sitting there.

Seeing Miao Miao come in, Li Biji asked with concern: "Did you sleep well last night, seeing that you didn't wake up, I asked your two companions to sit in the reception room."

"It's okay." Miao Miao smiled shyly. She slept late in her old classmate's unit on the first day, which was very embarrassing.

Miao Miao took a closer look at the old woman, her face was very familiar, and she immediately thought of Su San's mother.Su San's mother also recognized Miao Miao immediately.

Li Biki told Miao Miao: "This is Su San's mother."

Miao Miao nodded and said, "I know, we met yesterday."

Su San's mother briefly introduced the situation in her family. Su San's mother was Qin Ying. When she was 35 years old, her husband died in a car accident.Fortunately, Su San was very sensible and filial, with good academic performance. From school to work, Qin Ying never let Qin Ying worry about anything. Qin Ying also put all her hopes and pins on Su San. His son is Qin Ying's spirit. pillar.

"Su San has always been a very optimistic and open-minded person. But this incident made Su San mentally depressed. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, only a mother can understand the bitterness in his heart. Su San is a very A self-motivated child who loves his career very much and has good plans and goals for his future. If he is dismissed and punished for this incident, his career path in the future will be deeply affected. He is only 28 years old Ah, I really don't want to see his sluggish appearance, how can a mother see him like that." The more Su San's mother spoke, the more emotional and sad she became, her voice began to choke

Miao Miao hurriedly took out a tissue from the paper box, and comforted Su San's mother, "Don't get too excited, it's too sad."

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Miao Miao sighed.Seeing Su San's mother crying, Miao Miao felt very sad, and couldn't stand it. A man in his 60s, still worrying about his son's future, went to the secretary behind his back to intercede, hoping to relieve his son's worries.

While comforting Su San's mother, the old classmate said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to speak for Su San and ease the punishment on him."

Su San's mother was comforted by Li Biki, and felt a little more at ease. After sitting for a while, she calmed down and left. Tell Su San about looking for him, Su San is a tough child, if he knows that he has come to you, he will feel even more uncomfortable.

Together with her old classmates, Miao Miao sent Su San's mother to the gate of the town government compound. Seeing Su San's mother receding away, Miao Miao felt very sad and understood the psychology of being a mother.After hearing what Su San's mother said, Miao Miao admired Su San from the bottom of her heart, for being filial, courageous, and upright.In fact, Miao Miao could tell from the brief conversation with Su San yesterday that Su San was a well-behaved cadre.Although this incident cannot be entirely blamed on him, it is entirely caused by the government's actions and "extraordinary" working methods, but Su San never explained anything to himself.Miao Miao sincerely hopes that this incident can be dealt with lightly, and that Zhang Yidan's family will stop making noise and put pressure on the local government.

Since coming to Lijiang Town this time, Miao Miao has gained a deeper understanding of the working conditions of grassroots cadres through contacts and exchanges with some township cadres. Cadres dedicated to the grassroots, they are powerless to justify themselves, they only bear all the pressure for the smooth flow of government orders and the implementation of decisions made by superiors.

Three days later, the county held a special meeting to deal with Zhang Yidan's broken leg incident. Su San was dismissed from his post and placed on probation in the party. Mental damage costs more than 3 yuan.

Hearing the result of such treatment, Miao Miao felt very uncomfortable, especially when her old classmate Li Biki told her on the phone that Su San might have to transfer out of Lijiang Town to a remote town for exchange, and it was even more uncomfortable. Li Biki was also very uncomfortable on the phone. Helpless, I feel deeply sorry for the cadres under me, for not taking good care of them.

After hanging up the phone, Miao Miao slumped down on the chair in a daze. This treatment was a bit serious for Su San. The ending caused by the government's work behavior was all borne by a grassroots cadre. It was so serious that something like this happened Is it just a question that Su San should reflect on?What should reflect more should be some leaders who make decisions and units that assign tasks, check whether the decisions they make are reasonable, whether the tasks assigned are scientific and operable, and estimate the consequences of the implementation of decisions more. , perhaps some things could have been avoided.

Miao Miao recalled a piece of news that she saw not long ago: A thief stole something from someone else, and happened to be discovered by the owner. The owner desperately chased the thief, trying to get back the stolen item. The car was scratched, the thief was injured, and he was admitted to the hospital. He spent more than 8000 yuan in medical expenses. The owner bears the responsibility, and the thief is not responsible. The reason for the judgment is: the thief’s right to life should also be respected. The owner knows that such pursuit will lead to the threat to the thief’s life, but still chases him. The thief also has the right to life. The owner can't figure it out even if he dies. He just wants to recover the stolen things, so why is he breaking the law?Everything has a law of ebb and flow. When you place too much emphasis on the human rights of lawbreakers, it may encourage the occurrence of some illegal and criminal acts. For example, New Zealand law over-respects the human rights of thieves, leading to the phenomenon of theft all over the country. , occurs frequently.When you make a decision, you have to consider the consequences, not someone who will carry out the decision. Miao Miao felt very indignant when she thought about it.

Miao Miao couldn't help but think of Su San's mother's tearful pleading eyes, Su San's lonely and tired expression on the hospital bed, how they should hang their heads and be depressed when they knew the result of such a treatment, with tears streaming down their faces, Miao Miao felt extremely sad in her heart, How much she hoped that Su San could survive this test and not be crushed by such setbacks.

In fact, after visiting the villagers in the past two days, Miao Miao learned that many villagers still have some opinions on Zhang Yidan's family. He held a certain important position in the city, but he was very arrogant and unreasonable in the village. After understanding, Zhang Yidan's relatives were also surnamed Zhang, and she was Zhang Yidan's youngest aunt.The second reason is that everyone is not convinced. Everyone has to implement the family planning policy, but his family does not have to implement it. He also said that his relative was the director of the family planning committee and should take the lead in complying with it, but now he avoids disobedience.

The visits these days made Miao Miao lose favor with Zhang Yidan's family.Now, what makes Miao Miao even more disgusted is the so-called relatives of Zhang Yidan's family, because I learned from some words of old classmates that Su San's dismissal and stay in the party for probation is largely due to Zhang Yidan's relatives behind the scenes. Due to pressure.

Although Miaomiao doesn’t know where this relative of Zhang Yidan’s family lives and where he works, but he deeply feels that his relative has done three things very badly: First, he has not set an example. He used to be the director of the family planning committee, and his relative should have She took the lead in abiding by the family planning policy, but now she evades disobedience; the second is to shirk responsibility. The policy of "one child is put on the ring and the second child is ligated" was originally implemented when she took office. The consequences of the decision should have been borne by her, not by her. Push it to the person who implements it.The third is narrow-mindedness. As a leader, you should be magnanimous, but you should not punish people to death.

While Miao Miao was pacing back and forth in the guest room, full of emotions, suddenly, the reporter Zhang Hong stepped in and mysteriously told Miao Miao a rather unexpected news. It turned out that Su San's uncle and Zhang Yidan's relative had once There is old grudge, as for what kind of old grudge, Zhang Hong is not very clear.

After hearing Zhang Hong's nonsensical words, Miao Miao wondered if this had anything to do with Su San's dismissal.

That night, Miao Miaojue did not sleep, and wrote a very detailed report on the cause and effect of Zhang Yidan's broken leg, and what happened, especially focusing on the background of the local grassroots cadres' adoption of "extraordinary working methods". There is much sympathy for Su San in the material, and it also slightly alludes to the inappropriate behavior of Zhang Yidan's family and his relatives.

After finishing writing, Miao Miao felt relieved, as if she had fulfilled a wish, and finally vomited everything she saw, heard, and felt these days, no matter how much, first send the materials Show the editor-in-chief. After sending the email, Miao Miao turned off the computer casually. Looking at the time, it was eleven o'clock in the evening. I don't know if Jerry has slept. Miao Miao originally wanted to tell Jerry that he would go back to Jianghai tomorrow morning. In the city, but today is Friday, Miao Miao thought, Jerry should live with his wife and children, forget it, let’s not bother him, gave up the idea of ​​calling, Miao Miao fell asleep and fell asleep until dawn.

After saying goodbye to classmate Li Biki, the three of Miao Miao returned to the provincial capital by car.Because today is Saturday, Miao Miao has to go back to her home, and her son Lili and her husband Wenhui don't know if they are at home. They made a phone call and found out that the two of them went to the amusement park again.

When Miao Miao arrived home, it was exactly two o'clock in the noon, and her son and husband also came back. She hadn't seen her son for a few days, Miao Miao hugged her son vigorously, kissed him, and her son protested loudly: "Mom, you have such a bad habit. I have to change it, I am a big boy now, and you still kiss me like this."

The husband on the side also followed with a silly smile.

Miao Miao asked her son playfully, "Yo, I'm so old, I don't want my mother to kiss me."

"Mom, at this age, still leaning on me and kissing me, my classmates will laugh at me for having an Oedipus complex"

"Oedipus plot? Where did you learn it? You didn't learn it well at such a young age, but you actually learned this?" Miao Miao couldn't believe her son's words.

"Mom, I'm making you nervous, I'm teasing you," the son made a face with Miaomiao.

"You child, you are so naughty, no wonder Shanshan on the other side says you always bully her." Shanshan is a little girl from the neighbor opposite. Afterwards, the two played less, and they were together on weekends by chance, and the son liked to tease the little girl all the time, making her almost cry a few times.Looking at her son's mischievous expression, Miao Miao really had no choice, this son is too naughty and clever.

"Shanshan, it's not fun, she likes to cry. If I want to find a girlfriend in the future, I will find a gentle, beautiful, and like-minded girl, so I don't want to be awkward." Son Lili said with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"You brat, who are you talking about? You are so young, you don't study hard, and you think of such a thing." Miao Miao became a little angry, and Miao Miao felt that there was something in her words, as if she was alluding to herself and her husband. During the argument, they always ignored the young son who stood aside and let him be terrified.

"Son, if you have this ambition, that's fine. As long as you study hard and have a bright future, it won't be easy to find what kind of girl you want in the future." Wen Hui smiled and encouraged after hearing this.

"You're still helping him speak?" Miao Miao couldn't believe her husband's words.

"Mom, look, Dad's words are so beautiful, just for this, I will study hard, don't think too much, just live well on your own." Said, the son skipped and went to his study.Hearing her son's last words, Miao Miao trembled in her heart, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Miao Miao thought to herself: In fact, my son is still very sensible. Even the teacher often praises him for being thoughtful and insightful.But Miao Miao always felt that her son's sensibility and maturity far exceeded the level of this age, and some thoughts and remarks sometimes surprised people.

After his son left, Wen Hui comforted Miao Miao with a smile: "Don't worry, it's better not to block children's naive thoughts. Everyone has their own world, and their future thoughts and aspirations may not be what our generation understands." comprehensible and comprehensible.”

"My son has independent thoughts and opinions, and it may be easier for us to solve some problems in the future." The husband suddenly popped out another nonsensical remark.

After hearing this, Miao Miao asked with some doubts: "What will happen to us in the future? Isn't it good now?"

"Behind the calm, there will always be storms. Life is like the waves, one wave after another. Just like our acquaintance, it was good at the beginning. Not long after we got married, there was constant noise. Now it seems to be better, but who can guarantee that What will happen next?"

"Did the dance teacher ask for anything from you?" Miao Miao asked puzzled.

"Haven't said anything yet, but lately—"

"Did she want you to divorce?" Miao Miao asked.

"Not yet, but I don't know in the future. I am also worried that we will separate one day, and whether my son Lili will be hurt. I only hope that he is happy, and I also hope that he can understand some of the practices of adults."

What her husband said made Miaomiao suddenly confused about the future again. Will Jerry divorce his gay wife?Can she and Jerry get together again in the future?Can a son accept his parents' divorce?Miao Miao also knew that no matter what happened to herself and her husband in the future, they would still love their son.I will avoid hurting him, but what about the social environment?Now, it is said that it is open, but it is not open, and it is not open, but it seems to be a little bit open. Divorce is a common thing, but in reality there are still people who are keen to discuss it. For divorced men and women, some people feel More or less, there is always a little strange look, especially in the eyes of some elders.Miaomiao wondered to herself, would the students now look at classmates from divorced families in a different way like she did when she was a child?Hopefully they won't.I hope they can grow up happily and love more like Xiaoxue and Liu Xing in "Family with Children".

Miao Miao feels that the reason why "Family with Children" is so well filmed is that it portrays a remarried family in a very happy way. Looking past the style of previous film and television works, the remarried family is either full of gunpowder or has a tragic ending.
