Chapter 4 County Leaders?

The three of them were like the lost traveler in the desert who saw an oasis and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Near the village, the road has become much more neat, although it cannot be compared with the road, but compared with Fang Cai, it is already heaven and earth.

"Ouch, my mother, it's finally out!" Wei Xingguo let out a sigh of relief. Fang Mingyuan was finally able to sit up straight, and after sleeping for so long, he was also very uncomfortable.

"Fang Shao, it's almost noon, why don't we have a meal here and inquire again." Chen Zhong was also a lot more relaxed, and asked sideways.

"Good!" Fang Mingyuan was also a little unable to hold on. Just now it was a car, even if you don't encounter strong winds and waves by boat, it won't be so shaky.

The village is not large, and a two-car dirt road runs through the village, dividing the village into two halves. Now it is the season of farming, there are many villagers and children sitting at the entrance of the village, Fang Mingyuan and a few people arrived in a jeep, but those children were like a treasure, laughing and surrounding. Chen Zhong had to slow down again.

There is only one small restaurant in the village, and there are only two owners and his wife, and there are only four or five tables in the shop, so it can be seen that there are very few outsiders here.

As soon as Fang Mingyuan and their car stopped at the door, the proprietress had already greeted her nervously, weishenme said nervously, a face that was still medium-squeezed, a forced smile, more ugly than crying, the rag in her hand was twisted into a twist, but she still continued to exert force as if she didn't notice it at all, and this frame didn't look like she came to solicit customers.

"Comrade, are you from the county? The village council is over there. As expected, the "welcome speech" of the proprietress was different.

Wei Xingguo said with a smile: "We don't look for the village committee, we just come to eat, what is delicious here for you?" ”

"What good food can we have in our little country shop here? It's all eaten by some people in the village, and you people in the county must not be used to eating it. The proprietress wrung the rag in her hand and laughed.

"Your boss lady is really interesting, everyone is soliciting customers, how do you push guests out?" Chen Zhong said with a smile, "Coming here all the way, we saw your restaurant, and if we don't eat here, where are we going?" ”

"That is, the people who open the store are not afraid of big-bellied people, and we are not here to eat white food?" Wei Xingguo also thought it was funny.

"No, we are here to mix rice for the people in the village, how can it meet the taste of a few comrades in the county......" The proprietress replied subconsciously, and then she suddenly reacted, what did the young man in front of her say just now, saying that they were not here to eat white food!

The original face, with a little fear of difficulty, immediately showed a smile, and it actually had a bit of style. "Since a few comrades don't dislike our rural craft, then come in quickly, my family just received two hares today, and they are roasting."

At this time, she noticed Fang Mingyuan, and when she saw Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo letting Fang Mingyuan walk in front, she couldn't help but muttered a little in her heart, this can't be the child of which leader in the county, right? However, everyone said that they would not eat white food, and there was indeed only one restaurant in this village, so they just wanted to give it elsewhere, and there was no land.

Fang Mingyuan and the three of them found a clean table and sat down, and the proprietress asked with a smile: "What do those comrades want to eat, we don't have so many dishes here like the restaurants in the county, they are just some simple ones." ”

Chen Zhong looked at Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan nodded casually, he didn't expect to have anything delicious here, but he was a little uncomfortable in the car, and he came down to move, besides, hot dishes are better than those dry foods, aren't they? Although he brought a lot of canned food, intestines and other things, but looking at the appearance of this village, I am afraid that if it is not enough, he will have to go back to the county seat to replenish it. The way he came, he easily didn't want to go a second time.

"Let's have a rabbit, make a few more dishes from your store, ask for a soup, no need for wine, and we have to drive." Be sure to be clean! Chen Zhong didn't bother to let this proprietress report the menu, anyway, Fang Mingyuan paid for it, and he wouldn't take this money to heart at all. I have been with Fang Mingyuan for a long time, and I know that this person has no special requirements in terms of food, except for the cleanliness of food. You can also eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is no problem to be a home-cooked side dish.

"A few of you don't drink alcohol, we have the fruit wine brewed in the village here, sweet and sour, not on the top. Would you like to have some? The proprietress was a little normal at this time, and began to persuade the dishes diligently.

"Come on, I'll taste it." Fang Mingyuan nodded and said.

The fruit wine and rabbit were quickly delivered, and a few cold dishes were added, and the three of them tasted the fruit wine, not so much wine, but the juice in Fang Mingyuan's previous life, sweet and sour, and it tasted good. Not to mention adults, even children are fine with drinking.

"Fang Shao, just eat seven or eight percent full, if the road in the afternoon is the same as when you came, it will be uncomfortable at that time." Chen Zhong reminded.

While the three of them were talking, they saw two middle-aged men running in a hurry outside the door, and when they saw the car parked in front of the restaurant, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lao Wang, let's finally catch up." The middle-aged man, who was short and fat, like a winter melon, held his knees and took a few breaths before he reluctantly said. His name is -Mao-Ergo, in fact, he is called -Mao-Ergou, but after becoming the head of this village, he felt that this name was really unacceptable, and it was a joke in the county, so he looked for the person who knew how to write and found a homophone instead.

And the one he called Lao Wang was the secretary of the village party committee here, named Wang Dongqi. The two of them had just heard from the people at the entrance of the village that a jeep was coming, so they hurried over. Due to the inconvenience of going out here, it is rare for the county leaders to come, but the two of them also have to come and see, in case the leaders of the county and township come up, if the two of them do not appear in time, it will be trouble in the future.

Wang Dongqi also hunched his waist and took a few breaths, then raised his head and said, "Yes, I finally caught up." Old - Mao -, huh? This car is not from the county. Wang Dongqi saw the license plate on the car at this time, not from the county, but from the capital-

Only then did Mao-Erzhu notice that the license plate of the jeep was from Beijing. The two looked at each other, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts, in this village in the barren mountains and mountains, the leaders of the county may not come back and forth once a year, why did a car suddenly pop out of the capital?

The proprietress saw the two of them and hurriedly greeted: "Ouch, isn't this Secretary Wang and the village chief Mao?" Why are you two here? I want to eat some ......."

"Shh -Mao-Erji pulled her out, and the three of them turned to the alley on the side, and then asked in a low voice, "Cheng Niangzi, is this car owner still in it?" ”

The proprietress looked at the two of them inexplicably, nodded and said, "Well, it's inside, a teenager, a young man, and a middle-aged man." ”

"Young and middle-aged?" -Mao-Erzhu looked at Wang Dongqi in surprise, such an age match is a bit strange.

"Let me tell you, among these three people, it seems that the young man is the head." The proprietress lowered her voice. has been open for such a long time, her knowledge can be regarded as the top in the village, plus Fang Mingyuan They did not deliberately hide anything, looking at the words and colors, it can be seen that Fang Mingyuan is the most important among the three people.

"The boy is the head?" Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erqi are even more strange in their hearts. The heads and brains in the county and township are all adults, and none of them can be called teenagers. This should be the case in this capital, how can there be a reason for a young man to be an official.

"Could it be the child of the leader in the capital?" - Mao-Erqi said suddenly.

Wang Dongqi slapped his thigh, lowered his voice and said, "Makes sense!" In their opinion, the people who can drive the car must be the officials or the heads of those state-owned enterprises, even if they are not officials or the heads of those state-owned enterprises, they must also be people who have a relationship with them. How can this ordinary person be qualified to ride in a car?

"What shall we do? Do you want to meet? Mao-Erzhu looked at Wang Dongqi, and at first the two thought that it was someone from the county or township, so they hurried over, for fear that these uncles would find trouble again in the future and say that they were not well entertained. Since this is not, it seems that there is no need to make up for it. One of those officials is more arrogant than the other, and they don't take these village cadres seriously at all, and those who call back and forth are like subordinates. If he didn't have something to do, he wouldn't want to get around these people.

"Of course I want to meet, although it is said that this county official is not as good as the current management, but the leader of this capital, I heard that there are many people at the same level as the county magistrate, what if it is the son of a big official, go back and go back to our village crooked mouth, the county will definitely have to find us trouble." Wang Dongqi is the secretary after all, and this insight is much stronger than that of Mao-Erji.

"That's right!" -Mao-Erzhu listened to it, and after thinking about it, he also felt that Wang Dongqi said it well.

"And what are they doing in our village? It's not going to be a casual carrot, right? As village cadres, we have to figure out their goals. If something happens to them in our village, there will be a saying in the future. Isn't it? Wang Dongqi saw that Mao-Erzhu nodded yes, and said proudly - Mao-Erzhu is only a primary school culture, but he dropped out of school after the first year of junior high school, which is also the main reason why Weishenme He was able to become the secretary of the village party committee, and -Mao-Erzhu is only the village head.

At this time, Fang Mingyuan and the three of them had already eaten half full, and wanted to ask the proprietress to come over and ask, only to find that the proprietress was not in the house, and there were only three of them in the house, not even a single villager.

Chen Zhong just wanted to open his mouth, but saw the proprietress walk in with two middle-aged villagers. "Three comrades, this is Wang Dongqi, secretary of the village party committee of our village, and the village-Mao-Erji, I heard that a few of them are here, so I came to see them."

Fang Mingyuan and the three of them were slightly stunned, and then Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo stood up and invited the two of them to sit down, this is not a pillow that fell asleep, just wanted to find someone to inquire, and this met the head of the village. Chen Zhong beckoned the proprietress to serve two more dishes, and then a bottle of wine-

Mao-Erzhu and Wang Dongqi looked at each other, although they couldn't recognize the brand of Fang Mingyuan's clothes they were wearing, they could also see that with the temperament of Fang Mingyuan and the three of them, it was absolutely impossible for them to be from the countryside, and judging from the attitudes of the three of them, Fang Mingyuan, who was only in arrears, was obviously the head of the three.

"I don't know what the three comrades call them?" Wang Dongqi sat opposite Fang Mingyuan and asked with a smile on his face.

Chen Zhong introduced the three of them with a smile, but when he talked about Fang Mingyuan, he only mentioned the surname Fang, but he didn't say anything more-Mao-Erzhu and Wang Dongqi confirmed that Fang Mingyuan was the most important person among the three.

"Village Chief Wang, they may have to drive for a while, so they can't drink, I'm not interested in alcohol yet, so I don't respect the two of them, and the two of them are at their own convenience!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Then we'll be entertained by the three of you." Wang Dongqi and the two are not polite.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Chen Zhong threw over a few more cigarettes, and the atmosphere on the wine table became lively. Fang Mingyuan asked about the situation in the village.

This place is called Guozigou Village, and Weishenme is called Guozigou? Because the mountains near this village are full of wild fruit trees, in patches, every autumn when the fruits are ripe, the fruits falling from the trees can roll down the mountain to the ravines between the two mountains, so it is called Guozigou, and their village is the closest to there, which is also called Guozigou Village.

"Isn't it good to have wild fruits? You pick all those fruits in the autumn every year and take them to the county seat to sell, and you can get a lot of money, right? Wei Xingguo said with a smile.

"Comrade Wei, you are wrong to think so, we are not taking any advantage from these fruits." - Mao-Erzhu smiled bitterly, "As far as our village is concerned, a few comrades have experienced it when they came, and any fruit transported out of the country has to be turned into bad fruit." And these wild fruits, although they smell good, but they taste much worse than those fruits that are grown, but they are like Cheng Niangzi and their family to make fruit wine, and the taste can still be eaten. ”

"Since you yourself know that this road is difficult to walk, why don't you repair it? You don't need to build a regular road, but at least it can be smoother? Chen Zhong said curiously.

"Comrade Chen looks like a city person, and he doesn't know our difficulties." Wang Dongqi shook his head again and again and said: "This road construction requires money, and what roads can be built without money." Although our Guogouzi Village is not the poorest place in the county, it is also the top ten places, and the little income from the land every year can ensure that they eat and drink, and if the county does not give funds, there is no money to build roads. Moreover, this road construction is to occupy an area, whose land is occupied, it is to compensate people, what money do we take to compensate others? ”

"Do you have a lot of mountain fruits here?" Fang Mingyuan's heart moved, this so-called fruit wine still tasted very good, worthy of the juice he used to drink in his previous life, if the mountain fruits here were really as they said, then it would be good to buy and squeeze the juice. But why hadn't he heard of this Guozigou Village in his previous life?
