Chapter 6 The hospitality of the village committee
After chatting for a while, Yu Fan took the things in his hand into the room and smiled at his grandparents and said, "Grandma, this is what my third aunt asked me to bring to you. It was said that there was the honey you wanted and the high liquor for soaked medicinal wine." Grandma smiled and said to her third uncle with a smile, "It's still my girl who miss me. I mentioned it to her a little last time, and she remembered it." The third uncle also smiled and said, "Mom, look at what you said, isn't this what we should do?"
Grandpa also smiled and said, "Okay, let's sit in the room and talk." After saying that, he was about to lead several people into the house. The third uncle hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, don't be busy. We should also go to the village committee for dinner. Are you still waiting?" Grandma was a little reluctant when she heard the words, "Why are you leaving so soon?" The third uncle had to laugh, but Grandpa relieved the siege and said, "Yes, the business of the public is important. I will come here for dinner when I'm done."
Yu Fan also had to say goodbye to his grandparents and rode a bicycle with his third uncle to the village committee of Yujiawan Village. At this time, Secretary Yu and Village Chief Zhang were also in the village committee, and there were several cadres in the village beside them. Seeing the two people coming in, Secretary Yu also stood up with several people and said with a laugh, "I said, Xiao Zou, why did our eldest brother Xianyi's son go to work in your village? You didn't tell me." After saying that, he smiled at Yu Fan without waiting for his third uncle to speak, "Xiao Fan, I didn't expect you to graduate from college so soon and go to work in our countryside. I said, why are you so familiar just now?
When Yu Fan heard the words, he also stepped forward and said, "Uncle Yu, I'm here for the first time. Please take care of me in the future." Secretary Yu also laughed and said, "Okay, he is worthy of being a college student. He speaks in a literary way." At this time, the third uncle also stepped forward and said to Secretary Yu with a smile, "Secretary Yu, this is good. We are all a family."
When Secretary Yu heard this, he laughed again. Village head Zhang also stepped forward and said with a smile, "Lao Yu, I'll see if I should go to dinner first. Captain Wang's house is ready." Captain Wang, who was standing aside, also smiled and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law has cooked all the dishes at home and is waiting for the correspondent Zou to come over."
Secretary Yu looked at the watch in his hand and said to his third uncle with a smile, "Xiao Zou, do you think you want to call everyone below back to have dinner together?" The third uncle nodded to Yu Fan with a smile and said, "Xiao Fan, go and call everyone at the entrance of the village back for dinner. Don't leave people at the entrance of the village. Hearing this, Yu Fan also nodded and went to the entrance of the village to call someone.
Secretary Yu also said to a man under the age of 30 behind him, "Yu Qiang, you wait for them in the village committee. We and Xiao Zou, the township axe, will go to Captain Wang's house for dinner first. You can bring them over later. After saying that, he smiled and said to his third uncle, "Then correspondent Zou, let's go there together first."
When the third uncle heard this, he shook his hand and smiled and said, "Secretary Yu, you're too polite. Just call me Xiao Zou. Thank you for the hospitality of the village committee. When Secretary Yu heard the words, he laughed and took his third uncle's hand and walked out of the door. The others waited for the two of them to walk out of a distance before slowly following up.
Secretary Yu walked in front and looked back at the people behind him. Then he smiled and said to his third uncle, "Xiao Zou, I also know that your work is difficult, and I also support the decision of the political axe with both hands. However, you are also from the countryside. You should know that the busy work in the countryside all year round is not just for that harvest. Now the price is low and IOUs. How can the villagers live? It's difficult for me to do it as a village secretary.
When the third uncle heard the words, he smiled and said, "Secretary Yu, don't say anything. I'm also a rural person, and I know everything. Didn't I call everyone back for dinner? I don't know anything else. I'll ask them to squat after dinner. What do you think? Secretary Yu laughed and said, "Okay, Xiao Zou is really a smart person. I'm not drunk with you today." The third uncle smiled and said, "Secretary Yu, you have to show mercy." After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled again. Secretary Yu gestured to the back again, and several people from the crowd behind walked to the other side, and the third uncle also turned a blind eye to it.
When Yu Fan rode his bicycle to the intersection of the village, Wang Fuchun and others were chatting together. Yu Fan hurriedly got out of the car and smiled at several people, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work." Wang Fuchun and others also laughed when they saw Yu Fan coming. Yu Fan seemed to see the doorway inside in the middle of the day. He took out a cigarette and sprinkled it on several people before laughing, "Brother Wang, my third uncle asked me to ask you to have dinner."
When Wang Fuchun heard the words, he lit the smoke in his hand, and he was also in a dilemma. According to the rule of 'the post is not leaving others', even if you want to eat here, you have to have someone here. According to the previous rules, the youngest one with the youngest seniority must be left behind. But how Yu Fan came in, Wang Fuchun was clear. Secretary Zhang's nephew, good boy, just stepped in and robbed Dong's deputy township head's younger brother. He was just a fool in his group of people. Thinking of this, Wang Fuchun also looked up and smiled at several people and said, "I think so. You guys go to dinner first, and I'll be here."
Li Changgui looked at Yao Xingming and Song Jian, and his expression was also a little clear. Yu Fan was stunned and said doubtfully, "Brother Wang, my third uncle said that everyone should go to dinner, so there will be no one here." Wang Fuchun was stunned when he heard it, but then he understood and said to several people with a smile, "Well, let's all go to dinner. You see, we have been here all morning, and we haven't seen anyone smuggling grain and rapeseeds out. It should be that the mass ideological work of the Yujiawan Village Committee has done a good job. Li Changgui and others also echoed with a smile when they heard it. Yu Fan had to nod with a smile on the side, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, as long as people who have something to do with the political axe like to be official.
When several people went to the village committee, Yu Qiang, who was left behind in the village committee, took several people to Captain Wang's house in the village. The small building of Captain Wang's house was newly built this year, and the brand-new two-story building looks very dignified against the surrounding red tile houses. As Wang Fuchun walked, he pointed to the small building of Captain Wang's house and said to Yu Fan with a smile, "This Captain Wang is not only the captain of the village, but also a small lake behind the village. This guy is so rich. Look, this small building is more splendid than the buildings in the town.
Yu Fan also smiled when he heard the words, "This shows that Captain Wang has a good way to get rich." Li Changgui behind him said sourly, "What a bullshit to get rich. If Secretary Yu hadn't been his brother-in-law, would it be his turn to contract in the small lake in the village?" Yu Fan knew that there was such a relationship between Secretary Yu and Captain Wang, but he also smiled there when he stopped talking.
Yao Xingming behindalso made fun of him and said, "Changgui, if you have the ability to find a secretary as a brother-in-law, maybe you can also make a fortune." After saying that, several people also laughed, but Li Changgui stared at Yao Xingming when he heard the words and snorted, "I, Lao Li, don't have such a good life."
Wang Fuchun, who was walking in front of him, also listened to several people pulling further and further. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't go far. You can't talk nonsense when you enter the house. As the saying goes, people's mouths are soft, but you are still making up people behind their backs. Please keep your mouth shut." After saying that, Wang Fuchun also turned around and stared at several people.
Seeing that Wang Fuchun became serious, the following people stopped talking. Yao Xingming smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, we will say these words here. It's not the first time to come down. We know what to say. After saying that, he took a look at Yu Fan beside him.
Yu Fan pretended not to see it and walked into the small building of Captain Wang's house with Wang Fuchun with a smile. At this time, Captain Wang's family also set up two tables, and the third uncle, Secretary Yu and others were also at the table, smiling and toasting each other. Seeing several people coming in, the village head Zhang next to him also stood up with a smile and introduced several people to the table next to him. Yu Fan also strangely found that several village cadres at Secretary Yu's table seemed to be fewer than what he saw in the village committee.
After several people sat down, Secretary Yu stood up and walked over here with a smiling face holding a glass: "Come on, all the comrades of the township axe have worked hard. We are in the countryside, and there is nothing to entertain. Come on, I'll make a toast to a few of you first." After saying that, he drank all the wine in his hand.
Several people also stood up quickly and drank a glass of politely. Secretary Yu laughed and said, "Comrades, if the hospitality is not good, let's eat some." Wang Fuchun is also the oldest among several people. Hearing Secretary Yu's words, he quickly stood up and smiled and said, "The secretary is really polite. We should have disturbed him."
When Secretary Yu heard this, he smiled and patted Wang Fuchun on the shoulder and said, "You old Wang, we are also acquaintances. You must drink well today. Although there is nothing to drink, we have enough wine. After saying that, he drank two more drinks with several people before returning to his table.
