Chapter 4 Go to the Countryside

When Director Wang heard the words, he pointed to his third uncle with a smile and said, "You little Zou, it's just a mouth. Well, you go and go through the formalities first. Come back to me if you need anything. After saying that, he walked to the chair behind the desk. Seeing this, the third uncle hurriedly said, "Director Wang, you go ahead. Let's go out first." Director Wang gave a gentle favor without looking back, but the third uncle hurriedly took Yu Fan out of the office. When he came, the third uncle also casually took the door of the office.

The two turned to the office of the personnel department, but they didn't know that Director Wang was sitting on the chair behind the desk at this time, looking at the door of the office with a smile, looking thoughtfully.

The third uncle who came to the personnel department seemed to be much more relaxed. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted to a woman in her thirties in the office, "Beauty, I haven't seen you for a long time." The woman glanced at him angrily and ignored him. Seeing this, the third uncle had to whisper, "Sister Wang, Aunt Wang, I'm here to do business with you this time."

But the woman was teased and said with a smile, "What can you do? Come on, what do you want me to do for you?" The third uncle said with a wry smile, "I'm really serious this time. Here, this is what Director Wang asked me to bring to report. Sister Wang glanced at Yu Fan and said suddenly, "Oh, you are Yu Fan. Are you still a little handsome?" The third uncle made fun of him and said, "Does Sister Wang like it and want the old cow to eat tender grass?"

Sister Wang glanced at him angrily and said, "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth. Even if I want to eat tender grass, I will eat your tender grass first." The third uncle looked at Yu Fan and looked a little embarrassed. Sister Wang said to Yu Fan, "Yu Fan, right? Come here to do the formalities." Yu Fan hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Wang." Sister Wang glanced at Yu Fan and said with a smile, "The mouth is quite sweet. It fascinates a lot of little girls."

Yu Fan hurriedly said, "Sister Wang is joking. There are people like us." Sister Wang giggled and said, "Aren't you a college student? The girls in college can't stand you sweet-mouthed men. Yu Fan had to be speechless. He quickly finished the formalities with Sister Wang and went downstairs with his third uncle.

When he got off the office building, his third uncle suddenly asked, "Xiao Fan, do you have any idle bicycles at home?" Yu Fan nodded with some doubt. The third uncle smiled when he heard the words and said, "That's good. Your formalities have been completed, and now you can go back. Come here at nine o'clock tomorrow and ride a bike to the countryside with us. Yu Fan asked strangely, "Don't I have to go to work today?" The third uncle smiled and said, "Aren't you at work now? Don't worry, you are at work from now on. You don't have to ask anything. Just remember to ride a bike to the countryside with us tomorrow. Although Yu Fan felt strange, he still said goodbye to his third uncle and walked outside the township axe compound.

When he got home, Yu Fan called several of his roommates and pushed the matter of going to Yanjing together. It also caused a burst of complaints. Yu Fan also took the trouble to explain to them, but he did not dare to tell them that he went to the township government axe to do temporary work. He didn't let them laugh to death when he said this kind of thing. What kind of temporary work did a college student run to the township government axe to do?

After a hard-to-understand explanation, Yu Fan also hung up the phone with a sigh. Looking at the dilapidated bicycle at home, Yu Fan thought that he had nothing to do now, so he wiped the whole bicycle aside and looked at it. It felt good. In the evening, my father went home and asked about Yu Fan's report today. Yu Fan told the truth, and his father Yu Xianyi didn't say anything.

Early next morning, Yu Fan rode his bicycle and went to the township axe compound. This time, he didn't rush there early in the morning as stupidly as yesterday. After timing the time, Yu Fan didn't leave home until 8:30, and it was almost nine o'clock when he arrived at the township axe compound. Seeing that the iron door of the compound had not yet opened, Yu Fan went to the small shop for breakfast yesterday. When he came back, the old man who just looked at the door was opening the iron door.

Yu Fan smiled and greeted the old man who was the doorkeeper, and sat at the door of the communication room and chatted with the old man for a while. At this time, the others also rode into the compound one after another. Yu Fan looked at his third uncle in the crowd and pushed his bicycle over with a smile. As soon as the third uncle looked at Yu Fan, he smiled and said, "It's quite early. Let's go to the office first. After the morning meeting, I will go to the countryside with me. After saying that, he patted Yu Fan on the shoulder.

Yu Fan was also unfamiliar with the land. He followed his third uncle Zou Yi into the big office yesterday. After a while, people came in one after another. The third uncle also waved a few people over and introduced to Yu Fan with a smile, "Come on, Xiaofan, let me introduce you." He pointed to these people and said, "These are Wang Fuchun, Li Changgui, Yao Xingming and Song Jian, all of whom were recruited temporarily this time. You can go to Yujiawan Village with us today. He smiled and said to Yu Fan, "You should be very familiar with Yujiawan. That's your hometown. Where is your grandmother is still now? I'll go to see your grandmother after a while. Come on, get familiar with everyone first. We will work together in the future.

When Yu Fan heard this, he said to several people with a smile, "Brother Wang, Brother Li, Brother Yao, Brother Song, we will work together in the future. Please take good care of you." Those who do things in the township government are all old-fashioned people. When they heard this, they quickly smiled and said, "You're welcome, you'll just take care of each other in the future."

Yu Fan smiled. Although he had been staying in school over the years, he still knew some things in society. He quickly took out the 'cloud smoke' he bought this morning from his pocket and sprinkled it in the office. With smoke, coupled with Yu Fan's mentality of a latecomer, he became familiar with the people in the office in a blink of an eye. Even Dong Biao's group no longer ridiculed Yu Fan like yesterday, but silently took the cigarette he handed over and ignored him. Yu Fan didn't care. In a blink of an eye, a pack of 'cloud smoke' also turned into an empty box.

The third uncle looked at Yu Fan's shoulder with a smile: "That's good. It's quite good." After saying that, he looked at several people around him and said, "I'll go upstairs and ask Officer Chen to see if the morning meeting can't be held today. You guys talk first. After saying that, he turned around and left the office.

Yu Fan also took the initiative to chat with Wang Fuchun and others. After a while, the third uncle went downstairs. As soon as he entered the office, he shouted, "Well, there is something to do in the countryside today, and Officer Chen will not come to have an early meeting with everyone. As yesterday, each group is responsible for the situation of each village. After saying that, he smiled and walked over to Yu Fan and others. The people in the office also seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and groups of people slowly left the office.

The third uncle also smiled at Yu Fan and others and said, "Well, it's getting late. Let's go." After saying that, he took a few people to the compound. Yu Fan also followed several people to push their bicycles out of the courtyard, and the group rode their bicycles to the embankment of the town.

Yu Fan in Yujiawan Village is still very familiar with it. When he was a child, he basically lived there, and Yu Fan's hometown was there. Up to now, his grandmother and second aunt's family also live there. On the embankment of the town, there is a small river outside the embankment. The river is very narrow. It is said to be connected to the Jingnan River, which belongs to Xinyang City, and is a tributary of the Jingnan River. Yu Fan didn't know whether it was true or not, but when he was a child, he always liked to swim in this river in summer. At that time, people in the town always liked to call this river Jingdong River.

It's not until July, and the river is not very big. Yu Fan remembers that every year when the river surges, people from the village below will take turns on the embankment to prevent floods. When I was a child, I cried and went up the levee with my grandfather. At that time, I didn't feel very afraid when I looked at the turbulent river in front of me. Instead, I was very curious. I just felt that my grandfather seemed to be very nervous. Now that I think about it, maybe only the elderly who have experienced the flood know the horror of the flood.

There is no bridge on the Jingdong River, but there is a ferry belonging to Wangjiadun Village opposite the river. Yu Fan remembers this very well, because his third uncle is from Wangjiadun Village. The ferry belongs to the village committee of Wangjiadun, which is also a village-run enterprise. People in the whole Wangjiadun Village are free of charge when they cross the river to the town, which makes Yu Fan, who often returned to Yujiawan Village when he was a child, very envious. Since my aunt married in Wangjiadun Village, Yu Fan has also taken advantage of this several times.

There are also many people who want to cross the river in the township axe compound, and more than half of the villages below are across the river. Although the river is not very wide now, the flow rate of the river is very urgent. More than a dozen bicycles dare not get on the boat and cross the river in two batches.

People under the township axe are also free of charge for crossing the river. As long as the people crossing the river remember the number of people, they can report the accounts together at the end of the year. After getting off the boat, the third uncle took several people down the embankment, which was Wangjiadun Village. The third uncle's family lived by the road next to the village. After a few steps on a bicycle, Yu Fan saw the third aunt cleaning up the house at home.

The third uncle parked his bicycle at the door and called Wang Fuchun and others to stop the car. He smiled and said to the third aunt in the room, "Come out and see who is in your family?" The third aunt also saw Yu Fan and came out with a smile and said, "Yesterday, I heard your uncle say that you went to the township axe to report. You son of a bitch, the town is just a little far from home, and you just come to see your aunt.
