Time in the countryside passes faster, like the gossip of the villagers under the shade of the trees, like the gossip of the mother-in-law when she holds the soles of her shoes. Unknowingly, a few times have changed. In a blink of an eye, the spring breeze blows, and the ground is green, and in a blink of an eye, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is midsummer .
The most talked about is naturally the new township head and the head of the police station. Originally, the township head led the village to carry out the red leaf forest project, and every family has income from working. This is a good thing that has not happened in many years. But there happened to be a more outstanding director who pulled a few trucks of cheap chemical fertilizers during the spring plowing. Oh, this can cure the heart disease of the country people. Not only can they buy, but they can also be credited and exchanged. Don't mention how happy the farmers are if they don't need the much-needed fertilizer. Not long after, a few carts of white rice were brought in. Oh, it was much better than those cowards who went from village to household to exchange rice and mixed sand in it. Comparing the hatchback, the police still acted like personnel.
"Aunt Hua, I heard that Shuanzi's family has grown two bags of rice for nothing, more than a hundred catties, and it will last until autumn."
"Ren Shuanzi is a policeman, and he has done meritorious service in catching a thief. How do you compare with others?"
"It's good to be beaten by the police. Guan Ping's wife owns the canteen, and she has pocket money even if she doesn't have to work in the fields."
"Why are you jealous? If you don't give birth to a policeman, you will give birth to a girl."
"Young girl can also be a filmmaker. Tell Lao Bin tomorrow, there are still policewomen in the city, so why can't my girl do it?"
A group of thick-shouldered women surrounded the well platform. Those who washed vegetables, washed clothes, and washed rice chatted while working together. Occasionally, someone told a joke, and all the women laughed unscrupulously. . While talking, the instructor Wang Bin passed by from home to work in the institute on a broken bicycle, and was suddenly stopped by several aunts, who dragged Wang Bin and said, "Old Bin, wait a minute."
"What's the matter, Mrs. Liu Tao?"
"Do you still have rice in your house? Change it for me. I went back to my mother's house last time. Your brother... You don't know, Yumu head, a little corn is reluctant to change... Hey, old Bin, what's wrong with you ? You still put on airs for some rice?"
The instructor grimaced and frowned, why couldn’t he say the words of refusal? This was the first time he had come to him through the back door to exchange for some rice. He couldn’t remember clearly, so he said embarrassingly: “Sister-in-law, this is the discount offered by the director. Aren’t there two batches for people in our village? I don’t know if there are any more.”
"Why not, stay close to my house when you come back next time." The sister-in-law refused to let her go.
"And my family, we also want to order, that rice is good." Other women also came together.
Wang Bin responded indiscriminately, stepped into the car and left, and several others chased after him and emphasized several times, before he got rid of him all the way, and he felt uncomfortable after holding his breath. It was a good thing at first, but a case of stealing farm cattle made the Yangtouya Township Police Station famous all over the province. He felt that it was a sure thing to win this year's outstanding grassroots police station. Looks good, but then it's going to be bad—
In April, he and Gou Shao planned a big operation. Forty tons of urea, carbon amine, and phosphate fertilizer were trafficked at one time, covering Yangtouya and the two adjacent townships. I found them to buy goods; I became addicted once I sold them, and within a few days I organized rice sales again. When I returned to the village, I sold them half for half, turning the rice into worthless sorghum and corn in the village, and then sold it out of Yangtouya Township. . Wang Bin knew that this was the difference between the two places, and it was understandable to put it on someone else, but it happened to be the director of the township police station, and he was the director who made great contributions. Wang Bin felt that if he offended someone, he had to speak out, and he couldn't go on like this.
After making up his mind, when he was about to reach the township police station, he saw a group of people gathered at the door, including several township policemen. His heart skipped a beat, thinking that something had happened again, he hurriedly speeded up, and pulled up the car at the gate, only to find a group of rural policemen surrounding a dilapidated mini-car, it looked like a black car from somewhere, probably Li Yifeng When it came, he patted the car and boasted: "Just this car, don't underestimate it, the diesel is dripping, it's powerful... It's much better than my modern car, and you will drive this car after you receive the goods."
"Feng Shao, without a license plate, you are an illegal car." Li Shuanyang said in surprise.
"It's a waste of a new car to run on mountain roads, and besides, there is no traffic police in our place, so I'm afraid of shit." Li Yifeng said disdainfully.
"Feng Shao, how much did this car cost?" Li Dai asked, obviously tempted, no matter how broken it was, it was better than a motorcycle.
"Thousands of thousands... I don't feel bad if I get scratched or touched. Let me tell you, I am discussing with our director. Let's do a good job after autumn. The director has a vision. A place as poor as Nima, right? He'll be able to get the money... This, this... Assemble." The bragging Li Yifeng saw the instructor coming, shrank his head, and was about to slip away, but Wang Bin roared: "Yifeng, come with me."
The township police were trembling, hiding and sneaking away, but Li Yifeng followed Wang Bin's footsteps into the office with a guilty conscience. When he arrived at the office, the instructor sat down and angrily slapped the table and scolded: "What are you doing once? I don’t want to talk about you twice, don’t you think it’s too disgraceful? It made the whole place full of smog.”
"No, Uncle, I don't come here often. There's something wrong here, the air must be good, when did it become smoky?" Li Yifeng refuted with a stiff neck, and then retracted when he saw Wang Bin's expression was wrong. Wang Bin taught him a lesson: "You don't come here often, and if anyone comes, let the police go, change the rice, change the fertilizer, and send all the police away, right?"
"If you don't find them some work, wouldn't it be nonsense for them to be here?" Li Yifeng said.
"Learning business knowledge is called nonsense in your mouth?" Wang Bin was furious.
"Let's enforce the law. You just slap him with two belts. What else do you need to learn?" Li Yifeng said.
Wang Bin was so angry that he wanted to shoot the case, but he was laughed at immediately. The tired and lazy dog in the institute not only dared to do nonsense, but also dared to talk nonsense. Punishment, most of the time is simply not used here. He thought for a while, sighed, and taught earnestly: "Yifeng, it's not that uncle is picking on you. You are a people's policeman. Wearing a national emblem and wearing a police uniform to exchange rice and sell fertilizer, is it appropriate?"
"The government still sells the land? What's wrong with the police exchanging rice?" Li Yifeng said.
Heck, Wang Bin took a document and threw it on Li Yifeng's face, and Li Yifeng shut up embarrassingly. As soon as Wang Bin's complexion eased, Li Yifeng said uninterestedly again: "Uncle, in the past, when we went from village to village to send chemical fertilizers, not only the price was high, but also fake drops. This year, the ones we gave to the village are all cheap, so we say that the factory will send chemical fertilizers. The ones brought back directly from the village earn some shipping fees, but have you ever calculated how much the villagers are worth? There is also rice, which is usually four and a half catties of corn for one catty of rice. Under the wise guidance of the director, now three catties of six taels of corn A catty of rice, Uncle, I am not talking about you, in two years, the glorious image of our director will definitely overwhelm you in the village."
Wang Bin stopped talking, closed his eyes, patted his forehead hard with a bitter face. You said that there is such a director and such a police officer at the stall, and you can't laugh or cry no matter what. He reckoned that the current democratic review would probably have a much higher approval rating for the director of rice sales than him, or it would be a waste of the director's brains.
"Uncle, no one cares. We neither consume public funds indiscriminately, nor organize gangsters. What's the problem? After giving the village such a big benefit, who dares to say that it is not serving the people? Serving the people can't be free these days, no, we There is still money to handle the case." Li Yifeng said, he found himself more and more confident. Right, this is better than stealing things, right
That's right, Wang Bin knew that he might not be able to restore this momentum on his own. He thought for a while, turned over Li Yifeng, Li Yifeng didn't want to leave or stay, suddenly, the instructor laughed, and he laughed too, and hurriedly took out his cigarette. Unexpectedly, Wang Bin refused, and changed his tone: "Okay, even if you are right, then you plan to sell rice in the village all the time? Be a second-hand seller?"
"Ah?" Li Yifeng touched the back of his head, stunned, as if he hadn't imagined what the future would look like.
That's it, Wang Bin found the entry point, took out a crumpled document in his pocket, smoothed it out, and gave it to Li Yifeng. Li Yifeng was stunned when he saw it. It was a subordinate document from the County Public Security Bureau, a mobilization document to start a big battle to solve the case. He rolled his eyes in confusion. He hadn't understood work matters for many years.
"Look at the end, the third stage of the campaign is to carry out a centralized cleanup of old cases, unsolved cases, and homicide cases in various places. Reward orders have been issued from the provincial government to various cities. This time the reward is internal, whether you are a policeman or a police , As long as you have the ability, you can recommend yourself. As long as you can handle the case, it is very easy for the police officer to be promoted to the captain, the section member to be the section chief, and the position to be promoted to a higher level. This is a good opportunity." Wang Bin said, his eyes Very hopeful and meaningful.
Li Yifeng's eyes lit up when he heard such a flamboyant thing, but immediately dimmed. He weakly put the document away, and said in embarrassment: "Uncle, with my virtue, I am not good at committing crimes, let alone handling cases. won't you?"
"You can't, the director will. How beautiful is the case of stealing farm cattle?" Wang Bin added the finishing touch.
"That's right, it's awesome to get Brother Yu." Li Yifeng's eyes lit up again.
"Last time your father said that the baby is promising. If you really do it this time, you don't need to rely on your father's relationship, you can take a step up by yourself. That's a glorious thing, no more than your organization Is it better to replace it with rice?" Wang Bin asked.
Li Yifeng's eyes became brighter, and he subconsciously bit his finger. The instructor slowly lit a cigarette, smoked it, looked at Li Yifeng's expression, and said casually: "Xiao Yu, you also know that you were demoted here, that's all you can do, I really want to show my face at this juncture, and help you Just... You said that going up a level is not the same as playing?"
"Hey, yes, why didn't I think of this level." Li Yifeng said excitedly, seeing the opportunity to show his talents.
"You're busy selling rice and chemical fertilizers." Wang Bin said with a smile, and urged him: "Go, call your brother Yu, and go to the county bureau to reveal the hero list. I don't know if the police in Qinyuan County There are people from the National People's Congress of the Bureau, but I don't know that there are not many from the Yangtouya Township Police Station."
"Hey, okay." Li Yifeng took the documents and left happily. He came back just after leaving the house. Seeing his distressed face, Wang Bin asked, and he said in embarrassment: "The director will not come back in a few days?"
"Where did you go again?" Wang Bin felt dizzy.
"He pulled a load of sorghum and sold it, and he said he won't be back until next week." Li Yifeng said.
With bitterness and helplessness on Wang Bin's face, he waved his hand: "Go, let's wait until the sorghum is sold out."
"Success, I'll go back to the county to ask first." Li Yifeng was so happy that he ran away, he had already heard him yelling in the yard, I want to solve a few big cases for you to see, who will follow me, I will give subsidies, and when I become the director, I will promote you all.
The instructor got up, closed the door, and shut out all the sounds that disturbed him...
…
Yu Zui stayed at home for three or four days before going back to work in the institute. Every time his father urged him several times before he lazily left. Every time he left, he always felt that his home was not like a home. No matter where he put it for twenty years, it would have changed drastically. But in his own home, just Nothing has changed. I have been single for more than 20 years, and I am still a bachelor.
After tidying up my small room, my own and my father's change of clothes have been neatly folded, I have cleaned the yard, dumped the garbage accumulated in the yard into a cart, and when the luggage to leave has been packed, Dad came back in a hurry, and it was the same as usual, with some fruits and a bag of biscuits, as if he was afraid that his son would starve on the road.
"Dad, don't bring so much, I can't eat." Yu Zui stood beside the car and said embarrassingly, going home is like staying in a hotel, and leaving home is like saying goodbye every time.
"If you can't eat, eat slowly. The place in Yangtouya is poor, and there is no one to make a fire... It seems that my son has starved to death." Yu Mantang said, put away the bag he brought back, and ran again Go home, let your son wait.
Yu Zui sat in the car, maintaining that expression of embarrassing happiness. Dad doesn't understand how rich the life of the village police is. Since he made some extra money, he has small wine and meat every day. How can he work so hard like his father? To be a profiteer is bitter, yes, hard work... In the eyes of Yu Zui, the word hard work seems to be the incarnation of his father. Every time he sees him busy carrying, seeing him throwing away bad fruits in distress, seeing him counting happily There is always an inexplicable feeling about small change.
Although it was indescribable, he knew that the taste was bitter. Dad, who is about to turn five years old, he would rather see him walking around with a birdcage like an old man in the city, playing croquet, dancing Yangko, no matter what he does, it is better than earning money in a store A hard-earned money of a dime is strong.
But he can't do it. When he has that ability, he doesn't know if his father can wait.
Ah bah, what are you thinking about, Yu Zui bawled and scolded himself, but when he looked up, he found that he was at his father's feet. Dad looked at him with a strange look, he was furious, and slapped him across the face: "Who did you learn from, and you've already become a leader, and you still look like a little hooligan? If you show this expression again, be careful, I will slap you."
Yu Zui covered his head, crying and laughing, and repeatedly admitted his mistakes, but his father stuffed the small jar he had prepared into his son's hand, his face was full of complacency, Yu Zui opened it, and he could almost smell the strong salty smell , he asked strangely: "What? Dad?"
"Pickled vegetables." Yu Mantang proudly said, "Auntie He made it for me. Dad will save a little, and the rest will be for you. It tastes so good. Pickled cucumbers are crunchy in your mouth."
"Oh." Yu Zui put it back in the car. When he turned around, his father grabbed hold of him: "This is taking away all the gifts from others. You have to take care of the girl's affairs. You must find a way out for the child."
"This... counts as a gift?" Yu Zui said dumbfounded.
"Ah, this is your Aunt He's heart. Besides, you are not allowed to spend money. You should spend money. She has saved some money, but you can't find the temple door when you burn incense. You can tell Dad about such a small matter." Who are you looking at?" Yu Mantang asked, his expression hard to understand.
"Okay, let her study hard, next year I will definitely pave the way for her." Yu Zui said, agreeing indiscriminately.
"Hey, this is my son, I know what you are capable of." Yu Mantang said.
But Yu Zui didn't dare to talk about this topic any more, he kept his dad back to the store, waved goodbye, and went to work in Yangtouya Township again.
Beep... beep... beep, the phone's text message rang while driving, he glanced at it, his heart started beating, he almost jumped out of the car window, he quickly parked on the emergency driveway, and stroked his heart. Without him, An Jialu's text message: Where are you
what does this mean? She took the initiative to contact me
Yu Zui's heart beat faster, and he analyzed quickly. Ever since he drank too much in the seminar and made a fool of himself, he didn't have the nerve to contact An Jialu again. In the past few months, he has been busy making money, and occasionally went to the city in his spare time to meet Lin Yujing secretly, and he really put her in the back of his mind.
Doesn't she mind
Or, do I still have a chance
Yu Zui rolled his eyes and thought about what kind of text message to reply. After thinking about it, he simply called the phone and asked, "What's wrong? An'an?"
The other person didn't speak, and he could hear a slight gasp. He hurriedly confessed: "An'an, I really drank too much last time. I didn't mean it... I'm busy with work these days, and I'll go back to the city when I have time. You... are you not angry?"
After a long time, when Yu Zui was feeling uneasy, a burst of laughter broke out on the phone, and he heard Li Yifeng's voice all of a sudden, he was so angry that he wanted to drop the phone, and when he thought about it wrong, he immediately yelled into the microphone: "Dog! Little, how about An An's mobile phone number? How did you mess with it?"
"Hey, Director, there are two beauties who will be visiting our office soon. I don't know if you are interested in participating. If you want to participate, come back as soon as possible." Li Yifeng said, and added: "By the way, Don’t call me Young Dog.”
As he said that, he heard a woman's laughter on the phone again, and he heard that it was An Jialu and Ou Yanzi who came, and he was about to explain, but Gou Shao hung up the phone. Hey, Yu Zui made a guess. Li Yifeng probably lured An Jialu and Ou Yanzi to play in Yangtouya Township. Maybe he wanted to please his director. This time I made a lot of money myself.
With this in mind, he quickly started the car and sped onto the road. He had never gone to work like this before...
