During the busy farming season, the cadres of Baoping go to the countryside almost every day. The ordinary male cadres here, almost all of them live in the town, and almost all of them contract land in the village under their jurisdiction. There are only a few cadres who live in other places like Hu Ping. When I went to the countryside, I would get together or go to the street to gamble with some local idlers in mahjong parlors.
A few people hang out in the town government compound every day, and it is more silent and deserted than before.
Lixia is approaching, the weather is getting warmer and the wind is gradually subsiding, and sometimes there are a few rare good days that can be called sunny and sunny. In the northeast corner of the big yard, there is an open dry land, on which some dry land crops such as millet and broomcorn are scattered, embellishing this lifeless yellow land with dots of vivid green. On a windless day, after dinner, walk along the criss-crossing path along the rice paddies, accompanied by the gorgeous sunlight, to relieve the deep loneliness.
Whenever she is alone, there is always an unspeakable loneliness and misery in her heart. Sometimes she wonders if she is suffering from depression, and she is not interested in anything. I am only twenty-two years old but have the mentality of fifty-two years old. I don't have the vivacity that young people should have, let alone the enthusiasm, excitement and excitement of those who just joined the work. On the contrary, I always feel depressed, empty and confused, maybe It's because, as the eldest in the family, she took on the burden of the family prematurely. After doing the math, she hasn't been home for half a year. A few days ago, her younger brother called, hesitating and hesitant to speak, as if something happened , She wondered if her mother's condition had gotten worse? Or is someone coming to the house to collect debts? She thought about it, and asked for leave to go back and have a look after the salary was paid.
Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh, then shook her head, as if she wanted to try her best to get rid of those unpleasant thoughts in her mind. At this moment, she just wanted to enjoy this rare and brilliant evening.
It was a quiet and beautiful evening, and the farmers who were working all went home after work, and the surroundings were quiet. The sun shrank its dazzling light and shone gently on people, a few crimson clouds floated leisurely on the blue sky, a slight breeze gently caressed the cheeks, comfortable and cozy, milky white smoke curled from the roof It rises and spreads out lightly, shrouded in this dreamlike evening scene.
She stopped and raised her head to look into the distance, and the world was vast. The vast land is covered with vertical and horizontal gullies, and the land is divided into pieces by wide river beds. On the gravel road not far away, a long and large truck is speeding past, and the billowing dust is accompanied by the large truck. Winding forward, like the yellow wind monster flying by in the TV series "Journey to the West", there is only a piece of pale yellow earth under the sky. She stared and searched hard, and found that the nearby low hills were bare, without a little green, and the gray-white stones showed a dull gray-red color under the reflection of the sunset. She couldn't help but sigh, this place really lives up to its name. poor mountains and bad waters.
The gray-yellow earth color in her eyes made her inexplicably tired and irritable. She turned her eyes to those green plants. A few pig's ear grasses on the field ridge caught her attention. The broad green leaves reminded her of her distant childhood, that At that time, these grasses made her very obsessed. It was because of the stories grandma told while sitting on the hot kang.
The greatest joy when she was a child was listening to grandma tell stories. She really enjoyed the feeling of sitting on the hot kang and nestling in grandma's arms obsessively listening to grandma's storytelling. Grandma told many stories, but the story of pig's ear grass had a great influence on her, and she once believed it to be true.
The story says that a long time ago, there was a vicious, stingy and rich rich man who treated his servants very cruelly and harshly. One day, a little girl accidentally broke a teapot. The rich man was so furious that he beat the little girl up and fined her not to eat for ten days. How can a person go without food for ten days? The cruel rich man clearly wanted to kill her, but the poor little girl was an orphan without father and mother, and had nowhere to escape. She was so hungry that she dug some weeds to satisfy her hunger, but what surprised the rich man was that the little girl Not only did he not starve to death for ten days without eating, but he jumped on the branches of the tree and flew freely like a fairy. The rich man was very surprised and thought that the little girl must have eaten some fairy grass, so he invited a wizard to design and catch the little girl. , forced to ask her what kind of grass she ate, the little girl ate a lot of weeds, I really don't know what kind of grass she ate to make her fly, but the cunning rich man didn't believe the little girl's words, and continued to torture her, she couldn't stand it so he just said I found a kind of grass, which is pig's ear grass. The rich man found a servant and ordered him to eat some pig's ear grass, but the servant didn't fly up. The rich man was very angry, thinking that the little girl had teased him, so he beat the little girl harder and harder, accidentally hitting the little girl. died. So the rich man finally failed to know the kind of fairy grass.
After hearing the story, she believed it to be true. In her young mind, she fantasized about flying like a bird among the unreachable branches, and how interesting and wonderful it would be to catch those beautiful and lovely birds. She pestered grandma to ask what the fairy grass was, but grandma was helpless because of her pestering, and said, "My living saint, there are no fairy grass in the world, they are all made up by adults to trick children to play with." But she still stubbornly insisted I think there must be some fairy grass that can make people become immortals if eaten, or how did those immortals become? So she ran around in the fields to look for the weeds that would become immortals, and even secretly tasted a lot of weeds. The taste of the weeds was really bad, some were bitter and bitter, and she didn't fly because of it, but she still She stubbornly believed that there must be that kind of fairy grass. However, after searching for nothing in the fields, beside the ditches, and beside the roots of big trees, she finally believed in disappointment that the story was deceiving. fake, fake.
She was intoxicated by that interesting childhood memory, when suddenly two soft coughs of "cough, cough" came from behind her, she looked back and unexpectedly found that it was Yin Yunfei. Yin Yunfei was walking slowly on a path more than ten meters away from her, his eyes squinting at her.
Why is he here
She was very puzzled, this open space was like a paradise she had discovered, and she had never met an acquaintance before. Today's chance encounter made her very disappointed and frustrated, as if she was chewing delicious food with great relish, and was suddenly caught It's like a small stone has scratched a tooth, and it's sore and itchy, which is extremely uncomfortable. She hated this person very much, and felt very disgusted when she first saw this person. As for why she hated him, she couldn't give a clear reason. Maybe hating someone is similar to liking someone, just based on a feeling.
She wanted to pretend she didn't see it and walk away, but the place was empty and unobstructed, and she clearly saw it, so she just walked away without making a sound, wouldn't it be okay? Besides, she couldn't afford to offend him, she thought it over and over again, and decided to go over and say hello before leaving, but what did she say? Have you eaten yet? Is not this nonsensical? Having just eaten at a table an hour ago, what a beautiful day it is! ha! . . . . . . . . After thinking a lot, she was forced to go before her, and said in a panic, "Hello, leader". After finishing speaking, without waiting for his answer, he was eager to walk away.
"This place is very nice, you like it too?"
Yin Yunfei changed his previous arrogant, domineering, and condescending tone, and spoke very softly and peacefully.
She stopped the steps she just walked, turned around and said coldly and perfunctorily: "It's not like I like it, but there is no better place to go." After finishing speaking, she ignored Yin Yunfei's expression of waiting to say something, and walked away quickly up. After walking a few steps, I wondered in my heart, why is this person so easy-going today, I couldn't help but look back, Yin Yunfei was standing there, staring at her, she quickly turned her head in fear, more and more He quickened his pace, and ran back to the town government compound as if he was afraid of being possessed by a demon.
Yin Yunfei is just a sex eater, why does he suddenly have the leisure to go for a walk? And today's attitude towards her seemed to be a different person, and the doubts in his heart were like misty smoke, floating and indistinct.
She remembered that some time ago, the town received a notice from the superior that the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs would come to the county to inspect the work, and would also conduct spot checks in the townships.
She had heard Zhou Mei and Chen Jing quietly discussing in the office that the civil affairs department was a mess. Yin Yunfei is probably busy sorting out the bad debts, right
That morning, she was sitting on a table near the window in Chen Jing's office, reading a book quietly. Suddenly, the glass window was knocked loudly, and she turned her head. Yin Yunfei was knocking on the glass window vigorously with her middle knuckles. , and then made a brief beckoning gesture.
"Little Xue, come!" Yin Yunfei said in an unquestionable and authoritative tone, then turned and left.
She stood up and went over immediately. Yin Yunfei's office was in a mess, with ledgers, forms and other things piled up on the bed, desk, and sofa. Yin Yunfei was standing in front of a desk full of documents piled up in a mess and was busy sorting out. Seeing her come in, he pointed to the stack of papers on the sofa at the door and said, "Xiao Xue, take these forms back and fill them out, Liu I have to be busy writing documents and I don’t have time to fill in these, so you fill them out as soon as possible, bring them here, and there are other forms to fill out.” She picked up a form and looked at it. It was some forms for filling in poor households in the town. She asked if there was any Yin Yunfei was stunned by the flower list of these impoverished households.
"There is no list of flowers. Go to Feng Yuyao and ask her to draw you a piece of flower name of the poorest villager in Dryland Village. You can just fill it out. As for the other contents in the form, you can just edit it. It is prepared for inspection, and it is not certain whether anyone will look at it." Yin Yunfei said impatiently, and at the end, he said in the tone of an experienced master teaching a new apprentice: "; Don't be too serious about your work, but be flexible, especially when filling out these forms. Don't be too serious about it."
In those few days, she became Yin Yunfei's special servant, and she was accused of going around all over the place. She went to Yin Yunfei's office to report every day after work, asked for instructions, received a form, and then took it back to the family planning office to fill out.
Yin Yunfei usually has a lot of airs and speaks in a bureaucratic tone. Everyone avoids him, but she, like a strong man who is destined to be dragged into the army, cannot avoid it.
In those days, she filled out countless forms, like a counterfeit wholesale station, continuously sending carefully calculated forms to the Civil Affairs Office. use. It's a pity that these forms were not inspected in the end, because the town was lucky not to be drawn by lottery, and Yin Yunfei was just a false alarm.
However, she had bad luck. Since then, without the appointment of the party committee, let alone the approval of the main leaders, she has been half-time civil affairs assistant in a daze, except for marriage, divorce registration and other important matters. Liu Xu is in charge, Yin Yunfei always assigns her to do other trivial things in civil affairs. Although she is extremely reluctant, she does not dare to show it on her face, like a docile little sheep, obediently freely accept the command of any leader.
Of course, she didn't complain that she had done a little more work, but she was extremely disgusted with Yin Yunfei's hateful face and obscene eyes. But Yin Yunfei didn't seem to be interested in this, and took pleasure in commanding her, no matter how trivial things were, such as someone from the County Civil Affairs Bureau going to the countryside in this town, sitting in his office for a while, pouring a glass of water, and doing a good job of hospitality. It was a matter of little effort, and Yin Yunfei would tirelessly point people to tell her to come over. Sometimes she couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but greet the eighteen generations of his ancestors in her heart.
This person is like a lingering ghost, and she will meet him every time she goes for a walk. At this moment, she couldn't help cursing him in her heart.
