Zhongdan Village is not too big a village. It is located on the west bank of Dongyu River. There are nearly 200 households and more than 800 people in the village. Although there is not much arable land, it is relatively rich in Donghe Town. At about seven points of land, and most of them are irrigated land, the crops are mainly rice. This is a relatively unique natural feature in the north.
The whole village is divided into four villager groups. Of course, this was changed only in the past few years. In the past few years, it was still an agricultural commune, production brigade, and production squad. The villager group was also composed of the first team, second team, third team, and so on. The name, the village director was called the captain at that time, which is very characteristic of that hot era, but the name has been changed one after another in recent years.
The village party secretary Liu Dapao is also a demobilized soldier. Liu Dapao is actually his nickname, but this nickname has been around for a long time, but his real name is no longer exquisite. Even he himself is named after him. Liu Dapao is almost 60 years old. , But it feels like a man of 40 or 50 years old, and his body is extremely tough.
Liu Dapao joined the army when he was a teenager, fought bandits for several years, and later joined the war in North Korea. He was an artillery battalion commander. After returning to China, he worked for the Provincial Public Security Bureau for several years. In response to the call of the central government, he returned home to support rural construction and resolutely gave up. The work of the provincial government returned to the Donghe Commune at that time, and with his efforts, he built a stone factory for the Donghe Commune.
The calcium carbide factory was the first collective enterprise of the Donghe Commune. It was one of the top profitable companies in Zhou'an County at the time. However, not long after the good days, Liu Dapao was defeated in the dumping and returned to the village as the secretary of the village, and the calcium carbide factory also Within a few years, he was completely defeated, and he was still carrying a credit union loan of more than 100,000 yuan. Those who had eaten and drank all went away, leaving a mess.
Zhang Feng had a rough understanding of Liu Dapao’s experience, and the impression was quite good. Moreover, Liu Dapao’s prestige in the village is very high. In fact, Zhongdan Village still has a very strong traditional clan ideology. There are hundreds of people in the whole village. More than 80% of the population has the surname Liu. Going back several years, they are all an ancestor. Even the ancestral hall of the Liu family is still well-preserved.
So after Zhang Feng agreed to be a matchmaker for Luo Hu, he hit Liu Dapao with his idea. You must know that in Zhongdan Village, Liu Dapao was not only an old secretary, but also an ancient patriarch. At least he had one in the Liu family. The weight of the promise.
Liu Tianliang is much younger. In terms of seniority, he is still Liu Dapao’s nephew, but it is very likely that he will be out of the five clothes. But in the countryside, generations of generations have gathered together, and if they move around frequently, whether it is or not Out of the five servers, the relationship is still very close, and the blood relationship is always a cohesive bond.
Encouraging Zhang Feng to Liu Tianliang’s home, Liu Dapao and Han Yanning accompany Zhang Feng to sit in the living room, while Liu Tianliang is busy preparing wine and food. At noon, a table will be set up to entertain the leaders. Qin Li said hello after entering the village. After returning home, she originally planned to invite Zhang Feng to her home, but after seeing the posture of the old secretary and the village director, she dispelled the idea and went home sulking.
The clerk Xiao Wang sits alone in the corner of the room with a teacup. He is inconspicuous and can keep an eye on the leader's movements. He can appear next to the leader as soon as he needs it, and he can be taken to the countryside by Zhang Feng today. , He was already very excited.
The deputy mayor Han Yanning first reported: "Secretary Zhang, more than 90% of the withdrawals in Zhongdan Village have been collected. Except for the difficulties of individual families, the task has been completed. I am planning to go back and report to you. a bit."
Han Yanning is the deputy mayor in charge of the Education, Science, Culture and Health Office, the Family Planning Office (Family Planning Service), the Patriotic Health Office, the Flow Management Office, and the hospital (Prevention Office). He is not a member of the Party Committee. He came to Zhongdan Village to stay here. It's not that she is in charge of work, nor is she going to help the poor, but to collect and withdraw funds. I am afraid that she herself feels awkward, and her expression is somewhat unnatural when reporting.
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about work today. I'm here for personal affairs. I'll talk about work when I return."
Hearing that it was a private matter, Han Yanning had an enviable look on her face. What kind of favor should it be for a private matter that can make the county party committee member ask for help? When looking at Liu Dapao again, Han Yanning's eyes showed a bit of jealousy and envy, and she secretly sighed Liu Dapao’s good luck. At this time, Liu Tianliang had also returned to the living room, sitting respectfully and listening. .
Zhang Feng didn’t mean anything, and said bluntly: “Branch Liu, there’s a girl from the Liu family in your village called Shaoyao. She teaches in the central elementary school in the town. , But Shaoyao didn’t know what was going on at home, so Party Secretary Liu was asked to help."
Liu Shao is the pride of Zhongdan Village, and the most beautiful flower. Regarding her lifelong events, Zhang Feng does not believe that Liu Dapao has not heard of them, so he straightforwardly opened the door and stated that the chariot was to act as a matchmaker for Luo Hu. If Liu Dapao and Liu Tianliang didn't know Luo Hu, so he wouldn't be too late to explain. If he knew, he would have saved too much tongue.
However, Zhang Feng suddenly discovered that Liu Dapao, Liu Tianliang, and Han Yanning's expressions had become weird, especially Han Yanning, whose faces looked like crying and laughing. They were indescribably weird. On the contrary, it was Liu Dapao and Liu Tianliang. People were stunned at first, but then showed a relaxed look. Liu Da Pao said, "Secretary Zhang, Shaoyao and you are classmates?"
Although Zhang Feng was suspicious in his heart, his face was calm, and said, "Yes, it's a classmate of three years in high school."
Liu Dapao laughed and said, "This matter is easy. Secretary Zhang will come over to act as a matchmaker in person, and he will be 80% sure about this matter. Let me pass a message first, let me give you a message, and then I will come over and give you a reply. ,how is it?"
Zhang Feng smiled on his face when he heard this. He came to Liu Dapao for this purpose. There are some things that Liu Dapao can say, but he can't say it. Moreover, Liu Dapao, Liu Tianliang and others recognize him as a county committee member and town committee member. The secretary, Liu Shao's parents may not recognize him, let alone others may not know the significance of his identity.
Holding Liu Dapao's hand, he said, "Then please ask Secretary Liu, I am here to wait for good news!"
Liu Dapao laughed and said, "Okay, this is a happy event. Everyone is willing to run, but if it is done, the matchmaker can count me."
Zhang Feng laughed: "I can't ask for it! I'm bothering Party Secretary Liu!"
Liu Dapao was holding a big smoking pot, stood up, and went out to find Shaoyao's parents with his hands on his back.
Zhang Feng then said to Han Yanning, who was a little uneasy: "What's the matter? Is it uncomfortable somewhere?"
Han Yanning waved her hand awkwardly, and said in a flustered manner: "No... there is nothing uncomfortable," he stammered after a pause: "Zhang, Secretary Zhang, I..."
Zhang Feng gave Han Yanning a strange look, and said, "What's the matter? Mayor Yanning has something to say."
Han Yanning bit her thin lip and said as if made up her mind: "Secretary Zhang, I, I don't know that you and Comrade Liu Shao are classmates, and that Luo Hu, um," he paused and continued. : "A while ago, Director Bai of the County Education Bureau asked me to talk to his boy as a matchmaker. The woman is Liu Shao. Fortunately, Liu Shao and her family did not agree..."
Zhang Feng was startled when he heard the words, and then couldn't help but laugh, and said: "It's okay, there are women in the family asking for it, there is nothing uneasy. This just shows that my classmate is very good, so I should be happy!" It was secretly sighing, if it weren't for Luo Hu's lifelong event accidentally, he was afraid that Luo Hu's marriage would pass by.
