We held a member meeting for two consecutive nights to study and determine the list of river workers. According to the requirements of the superiors, if there are two brothers in a family, one of them must go. If there are more than two brothers, only one will stay at home, and the rest will go to the river workers.

It's only two months. Logically, there is no need to mobilize people. The situation is special. This is the first year of land contracting. People who don't go to the river construction site have to get money from outside, which costs more than 20 yuan per person, but they don't want to take money.

, even if there is no labor force in the family, women also have to fight, and the quarrels are so loud that Lai Sanmu’s head hurts like a needle pricked by the noise.

After finally confirming the list of servants, a new problem arose. Some of the people who were confirmed on the list were unwilling to go, and everyone was noisy again. Lai Sanmu simply sat down to smoke and let them make noise and chatter until three in the morning.

He finally decided that he was on the list and didn't want to go, so he spent another 80 yuan. Seeing that the plan they came up with after being tired of arguing was consistent with what he announced before the meeting, Lai Sanmu was so angry that he accompanied him in vain.

They quarreled all night and bought two boxes of Huoju cigarettes that cost seven cents a pack.

Lai Sanmu announced the adjournment of the meeting. Yan Changsheng, who had not spoken for several days, stood up. He took the list from Lai Sanmu's hand, looked at it again under the light, and said to everyone, "Uncles, grandma, aunts, brothers and sisters, I understand.

You are partial to me, you love me, you take care of a child without parents, you argue so fiercely, and no one mentions my name, I thank you and kneel down to you."

Yan Changsheng's kneeling made several people who originally wanted to express his opinions feel more balanced. Yan Changsheng ignored people's obstruction and insisted on kowtowing three times in four directions. Gods three ghosts four.

After kowtowing, Yan Changsheng took out fifty yuan, which was what he and Nini should pay, each person's share, and another eighty yuan, which was paid by those who were on the list and did not want to go.

, Although Yan Changsheng was not on the list, he felt that he had grown up and became a man in Laiyan Wang Village. Living in the collective of the second team, he should be responsible and fulfill his responsibilities.

"This child" Lai Sanmu was quite critical. He was shy and did not write Yan Changsheng's name. He took advantage of everyone's sympathy for the orphan and took care of his daughter-in-law. It was already successful, but Yan Changsheng, who was taken care of, suddenly changed his mind.

water.

However, Yan Changsheng's actions were still praised by the villagers. When the news reached Huaiqiang the next day, Huaiqiang felt worried for no reason. Yan Changsheng won first place in the moving target shooting competition in this year's county militia training.

The first place in the bare-handed gun grabbing competition, the standard of throwing hand grenades and the throwing distance! The county put a big red flower on Yan Changsheng, stood in the truck compartment, and beat gongs and drums from behind to send it back, surrounding Lai Yan

After walking around Wangcun three times, everyone in the village knew that Yan Changsheng was going to be successful.

It stands to reason that Yan Changsheng has achieved great results, and Huaiqiang, as the party secretary, should be happy. However, the person who achieved the results is named Yan. In Laiyanwang Village, the population with the surname Lai and the population surnamed Yan each account for two-fifths, and the population surnamed Wang

The population is only one-fifth, which is too small. If the laurel of party secretary is accidentally lost, the surname Wang will have little say in the village.

Yan Changsheng's rapid growth is not a good thing for Huaiqiang, it is a threat and a worry. In addition, Yan Changsheng's actions today left a good impression on the villagers.

But Huaiqiang couldn't tolerate this. He called the militia battalion commander Wang Chengzhu and asked Wang Chengzhu to arrange for Yan Changsheng. During the annual labor outing in the village, there were a lot of petty thefts, and the villagers often complained. This year, let

Yan Changsheng is appointed as the leader of the security team of Laiyanwang Village.

Wang Chengzhu serves as the leader of this team every year. He patrols and stands guard with the militiamen all night long, but there is no way to stop petty theft. Widow Yan steals people, and the men she steals are not honest. When she puts on her clothes and leaves, she steals from them.

Two kilograms of soybean oil was taken from Widow Yan's kitchen. Widow Yan and the villagers knew exactly what was going on, but Widow Yan still went to the security team to cause trouble.

The security team and team leader Wang Chengzhu are scolded every year.

Leader of the security team, this is not a good role.

Yan Changsheng was shocked. Wang Chengzhu didn't understand Huaiqiang's intention for a while. On the way to notify Yan Changsheng, he was also worried about whether the party secretary was dissatisfied with his work and wanted to activate Yan Changsheng. Damn it, militia camp

The position of chief executive is not as popular as that of a branch secretary, but he can still get a lot of money every year. If Yan Changsheng really takes the lead, Wang Chengzhu will definitely not give in to them!

"You want me to be the team leader?" Yan Changsheng looked at Wang Chengzhu, stopped taking off his adobe and asked, "Uncle Chengzhu, are you right?"

"You kid, how do you talk? It was Party Secretary Huaiqiang's arrangement to make you the leader of the security team. How could I dare to make a mistake about Party Secretary Huaiqiang's trust in you? You don't trust your uncle!" Wang Chengzhu said, although in her heart

Dissatisfied, he still pretended to be very natural on the surface, picked up the iron shovel, and helped Yan Changsheng knead the mud for a long time.

"Brother Chengzhu" Yan Changsheng asked slightly mysteriously: "Tell me how simple it is to take off the adobe. People have warned me that if you freeze it immediately, the adobe will become crispy. You silly boy, why don't you listen to the adults?"

According to the surnames of the relatives in the village, Wang Chengzhu also calls him Mr. Yan Changsheng. Although Yan Changsheng is young, his seniority fee in the village is not low.

Yan Changsheng took Wang Chengzhu to the newly built hut overlooking the reed pond. A deep circular ditch about three meters wide had been dug there. The trench was filled with adobe, and the adobe was covered with a thick layer of bituminous coal.

The ditch is approximately two and a half meters wide and deep.

"What are you..." Wang Chengzhu really didn't understand when she saw that Yan Changsheng had set up such a big battle. The circular trench was thirty or forty meters long and more than ten meters wide. The amount of work was huge. How much would it cost for one child?

Does it take strength to complete?

Wang Chengzhu was surprised at the Yan Changsheng in front of him. This kid is really a man of action!

Yan Changsheng said: "When my Uncle Laihamo was begging for food in Woyang, Anzheng, he was captured by the militiamen as laborers to support the Great Leap Forward. He spent the whole winter making bricks using local methods. He saw that I was anxious to build a building.

My wife, Lai Juan, taught me this trick. He said that as long as the adobe bricks were tied a little harder, they could be piled up in the ditch and the result would be the same. Except that the weather was too cold and the bricks would freeze.

Fagan!”

"Coal is tight, how can you sell it?" Wang Chengzhu and Yan Changsheng live in the same village. Who has relatives and what department they work in are as transparent as if they were contained in a glass bottle.

"Oh, you mean this bituminous coal?" Yan Changsheng didn't hide anything. He pretended to be mysterious and said: "You should know the county armed forces minister Xiao Liancheng. He hung the big red flower for me with his own hands. I remember that you were with me at the time, and you also

I helped organize it. Later, I caught an old turtle and sent it to his home. When I used coal, I went to him to beg him, and he found someone to approve it for me!"

"Well, you Yan Changsheng, you are such a brat, I didn't even think about it, but you were trying to get along with me!" Wang Qizhu left in a hurry and taught Huai Qiang what he heard and saw. The more Huai Qiang listened, the worse he became.

He was gloomy and kept walking around in the brigade headquarters. He was the only one in the brigade headquarters who had a wooden desk, and the brigade accountant only had a mud table made of adobe, with two floors, and unexplainable materials stuffed in the middle!

Seeing Wang Chengzhu reporting the situation, the accountant already hid out of interest.

"Has he promised to be the team leader?" Huaiqiang finally stopped, took out a cigarette and lit it with his head down.

Wang Chengzhu thought about it and said, "He didn't say it was inappropriate."

Huai Qiang was so angry that he threw the matchstick as far as he could, glanced at Cheng Zhu, and cursed, "You're useless, what nonsense are you talking about? I think Yan Changsheng should be promoted to be the militia battalion commander. It's just a trivial matter."

You can’t do it either”

When Wang Chengzhu heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Second dad, for the sake of me being your grandson, please don't remove me. My son will soon enter a primary school as a private teacher. With my status, I can give

He backs it up!”

According to the seniority of the surname Wang, Wang Chengzhu is really called Grandpa Huaiqiang.

"Get up, what are you doing? It's not good for people to see you. I also hate iron, so I have no plans to really remove you. As long as you are obedient, I can still use my own child without having someone with a foreign surname be an eyesore in front of me!

"Huaiqiang said with seriousness and sincerity.

Wang Chengzhu got up with a "chirp" sound, nodded and said, "That's what my second father said."

Huaiqiang knew that after this incident, Wang Chengzhu should become his personal dog! He also said frankly, "We can't let Yan Changsheng be the militia battalion commander. We can't even let him join the brigade. We have to do something to stink him up."

If his prestige is high, it will be detrimental to you first."

"Second father, you speak and I'll do it." Wang Chengzhu was originally taller than Huai Qiang, but he tried his best to bend down and make him look much shorter! He used to think about replacing Huai Qiang, but now it seems that he can

Keeping your seat depends on Huai Qiang’s eyes!

Huai Qiang takes a longer view than he does!

"Um, isn't Lai Sanmu the captain of the second team?" Huaiqiang saw Wang Chengzhu nodding, and said somewhat profoundly, "You go and tell the truth that the captain of the second team is going to be re-elected, and everyone wants to elect Yan Changsheng, Lai Sanmu is Yan Changsheng

Father-in-law, let them talk about it first."
