Volume 8, Liaoko River, Tian Wanli Frost, Chapter 11, Night Visit to the Ancient Town

He Mingkun noticed from the rearview mirror that Lu Weimin's expression was a bit complicated, as if he was very touched. He was a little confused about Lu Weimin's sudden appearance on the old street of Botou Town, and even chatting with local residents for so long. He couldn't guess what his boss thought.

"Secretary Lu, are you going to the county town directly?" He Mingkun asked in a low voice.

"No, let's walk around. The ancient town of Botou is very famous, but it's just hidden in the boudoir and no one knows it. Look at the bluestone road and the buildings of each family. At least it was from the Republic of China period. It can be preserved so well. I heard that the four ancient towns in Futou and the other towns are also well preserved, which is also a wealth left to the people of Futou."

Lu Weimin's eyes were wandering outside the window. Shi Desheng drove his car very slowly and wandered silently in the streets. People who were enjoying the shade turned their eyes more surprised, but no one paid much attention.

"The Botou District Committee and Botou Town Government are ahead." He Mingkun reminded.

During the few days of studying at the Party School, Lu Weimin took Shi Desheng to the county several times, mainly to go to the countryside, to be familiar with the situation of the county town and the location of the township governments. He knew that Lu Weimin didn't like to be in a row. When he went to the countryside, he would only take the driver and secretary and go down directly. If he was not familiar with the situation and had to ask temporarily, it would be his own secretary and driver's dereliction of duty.

"Oh, Desheng, stop the car in front, Mingkun and I will go in and take a look." Since we walked to the door, Lu Weimin of course wanted to go and take a look.

This is a cross street, still a bluestone road. It is slightly narrower than the street I came in just now. It can barely allow two cars to pass by the wrong way. However, if you encounter a market trip, it will be very difficult.

The brand of Botou District Committee looks very old, with red letters on the white background and white paint as the wind, rain and sun are exposed over time, and many places have become bleached, looking a bit vicissitudes.

However, the signs of Botou Town opposite are quite new. The signs of Botou Town Committee, Futou County, and Botou Town People's Government look much better.

The door of the district committee was closed, and the door of the Botou Town Government opposite was open, and you could still hear someone talking inside.

There were black penis in the door, Lu Weimin and He Mingkun walked a few steps, looking at the courtyard that looked a bit like a large mansion in the Republic of China.

There are stone steps on both sides, and there is a slope in the middle that can enter and exit the motor vehicle. The heads of the two stone lions have been touched without any edges and corners, and there is a bit of kindness and liveliness. The door was probably renovated and could barely enter a car.

"I told you to go to the secretary and director! Your family has so many agricultural taxes and water conservancy fees, and they are dragged by it all the time, just like you, so that's not a mess. I tell you that the town has made up its mind this time and everyone has to clean up. Don't let it pass, we can't do anything."

"Company Commander Wang, it's really difficult for the family. You know that her father has only been away for two years. In order to cure her father's illness, the family has lost a lot of debts and plans to feed the two pigs and sell them to pay the debt. How can we live if you take them away? Our family Xiaoyong has to go to the county to study in September, so he has to pay a tuition fee. At the very least, he has to leave one for us. They are still a pig, and they can't sell it now." The woman's voice was a little sobbing.

The dull voice just now seemed to be a little touched, "Aunt Zhang, I can't make the decision on this matter. The town has set a target plan. Every village has to pay so many owes every week. The secretary and the village cadres are tied together. Whoever can't finish it will have to pay the salary. We are all the same. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't do it."

"Company Commander Wang, please tell me about it. Can you leave a pig for us? By the end of August, the pig will be sold and Xiaoyong's tuition fee will be paid. Can I pay the rest? I'll kneel down for you!" The woman was almost begging.

"Aunt Zhang, don't do this. You know what I do. If I can make the decision, I will do it for you. It's useless for you to kneel here all night!" The man's voice became a little annoyed and his voice became louder. "The Secretary and Director asked me to send these things to the town. I dare to return them to you? Then the Secretary and Director and Director will strip me alive?"

There was a rumbling sound, probably the man was closing the door, and a somewhat tender male voice was probably pulling his mother, and his voice came out, "Mom, forget it, I won't go to the county to study anymore. After all, I have graduated from junior high school, and I may not be able to pass the county middle school. So what if I can't get into college, then three years of high school will be in vain? What should I do if I pass the exam? Huzi stopped studying before he graduated from elementary school, so why don't he live the same life?"

"No, no, your father said when he left, he must let you study. Teacher Zhou also said that you will definitely be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School of the County according to your grades. Even if I sell out the things at home, I will have to let you study!" The woman's voice suddenly became firm.

"Eya's grades are better than mine, and she is the first in the class. Erya will take the high school entrance exam again the next year. What should I do? I thought about it, I will not go to study anymore, so I went out to work and earn money. Let Erya go to No. 1 Middle School the next year, and our family can be considered one out,..."

"Erya is a girl, why do you study so many books? A girl can graduate from junior high school and still have to go to high school? Which family can afford it?" The woman said bluntly: "You have to go to the county No. 1 Middle School. It really doesn't work. I'll go to your uncle's house to borrow money. As long as you can study and get into college, I will be worthy of your dead father."

"Mom, what can I do if I get into college? College costs more! What should I do at home? You farm five acres of land alone and go out to help others work. If you are tired, you will get tired and sick." The boy, who is still in the puberty, suddenly became louder, "It's not that you have to go to college to have a future. I don't believe that you have to go to college to make a name for yourself. I won't go to school anymore. I will decide my own affairs!"

"Dare you dare! Do you want to make your mother angry?" The mother and son who had already walked to the gate of the town government became louder and louder. The woman raised her hand and almost beat her son, but the son did not move and was not afraid.

"I tell you, this matter must be listened to. As long as your mother can still move, she must give you to college. As long as you can pass the exam, even if it is Beijing and Shanghai, she will give you a job!"

Lu Weimin and He Mingkun, who were standing in the shadow of the door, did not say anything. Seeing the figures of the mother and son who were quarreling gradually disappeared into the darkness of the street, Lu Weimin sighed softly.

"Secretary Lu, look..." He Mingkun felt the fluctuations in his boss's emotions, and his own eyes were a little wet. How can such a mother and such a son not make people feel deeply?

Lu Weimin waved his hand silently and signaled to go in and take a look.

Lu Weimin and He Mingkun slipped in along the side of the door. There was no one at the gate guard. The two of them quietly walked into the wing room and saw a room with lights on. It was probably the one named Company Commander Wang just now and tiptoed over.

The door was closed, and several people inside were playing poker, throwing a pack of Changjiang brand cigarettes on the table.

"Widow Zhang from your village has left?"

"Let's go." The Company Commander Wang was also a little depressed, "**, I grew up with his man. Who wants to do this kind of thing? But what can I do? The town is so tight that the secretary and director are about to jump. Yesterday, Director Li went to collect food from his brother-in-law's house and had a fight with his brother-in-law. His aunt and son were scratched by his face. This morning, the woman of the director had sex with his brother-in-law early in the morning and said that he should not have caught his man's face. Both families turned against each other. The same was true for Secretary Zheng, the other two days ago, turned against him. His aunt rolled in at his house and made a fuss. In the end, the secretary paid to pay the responsibilities of his uncle's family. Tell me about this posture, who dares to let go?"

"**, what do you mean by this? Why did the secretary of the Xin County Party Committee make it so tight as soon as he comes? I think something will happen sooner or later!" Another young shirtless man said angrily: "Is it easy to make two money in the countryside? Now the price of grain cannot be sold, and fertilizers, pesticides and diesel keeps rising. After receiving the grain of this acre of land, nothing can be left except for enough food. But if a baby wants to study, he will inevitably have a sore and sick person. The money will flow out like running water. If he gets a serious illness, he will have to wait to die. He is all from the villagers. How can he be able to do it?"

"I'm afraid it's not the new secretary's arrival. I heard from the people from the county that the county really couldn't bear it anymore. I heard that the salary of teachers in the school had been put aside for another two months. The county education bureau said that it would be paid when the new secretary came. If it was not paid for a few days, something big might really happen." The man who spoke was wearing a yellow short-sleeved military uniform without a shoulder stamp, and it seemed that he was a town cadre.

"One to two! Minister Liu, your lover teaches in the town and has not received his salary?" another man who was playing cards asked casually.

"Take a fuck! So what if the new secretary comes every now and then? He is not a God of Wealth Bodhisattva, can he bring millions to office?" Minister Liu was obviously a little angry, but he seemed to remember something, "But it may not be certain. I heard that the new secretary is very young, but he has some skills. ** was similar to ours, but now it is different. My wife went to **'s sister's side in June, and her sister also taught in a town. I heard that not only have wages on time in the past two years, but also some allowances that were originally policy-free but never thought about. It is said that when we came to our side, we were the secretary and the county magistrate there."
