Chapter 257: Old memories

Lu Yan didn't react to Chen Wen's calmness for a moment. Even Director An and Ma Zihan on the side widened their eyes and looked at Chen Wen hard, wondering what he wanted.

What to do.

But Wang Zigang was a little anxious at this time and said quickly: "Secretary Lu, all this is our fault, mainly because of my leadership. Just deal with me how you want to deal with it. Secretary Chen, there is really nothing wrong."

of."

Lu Yan ignored Wang Zigang's objections at this time, but stared at Chen Wen without turning his head and said: "Comrade Chen Wen, you must remember that you are the secretary of the Shanggou Village Party Branch. What you said is

I am responsible for you and the more than a thousand villagers in Shanggou Village."

At this time, Chen Wen seemed to be in a fight with Lu Yan, and he straightened his head and said: "Secretary Lu, stop talking, one person is responsible for the work, and I, Chen Wen, arranged for outsiders to enter our Shanggou Village.

I admit this matter and am willing to accept the organization's handling of it."

"Secretary Chen, what are you talking about? I've already seen the roster just now." Wang Zigang couldn't bear it anymore, and regardless of Lu Yan's presence, he rushed over and shook Chen Wen's arm.

Chen Wen couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this sentence, and his eyes couldn't help but cast towards Lu Yan's face.

"Yes, I just showed Wang Zigang the roster. He is a citizen of Shanggou Village and has the right to know who is making money in the enterprises in Shanggou Village." Lu Yan said as he met Chen Wen's gaze.

When Chen Wen heard what Lu Yan said, an expression of whether he was laughing or crying appeared on his face. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Secretary Lu, you had good intentions when you insisted on setting up a quarry in a village.

We all know and remember your kindness in leading our Sidaogou Town on this development path. It’s not that we don’t listen to you, or that we don’t want to let the people in our village get rich. It’s really, really because

There are also our unspeakable secrets!”

"Secretary Lu, I testify that Secretary Chen Wen definitely did it for the good of our Shanggou Village. It turns out that we never knew the truth and it was indeed us who wronged him." Wang Zigang was very anxious at this time and kept talking to Lu Yan.

This time, Lu Yan was a little confused. He didn't know why the two people who were almost fighting just now formed a united front again.

"Now that things have happened, we have nothing to hide, so we have no choice but to be honest with Secretary Lu and be lenient. However, we hope that Secretary Lu can work with us to keep this secret." Chen Wen said and glanced at Director An and Director An again.

Ma Zihan: "You are all from Sidaogou Town, so you must have heard of these things, so I won't warn you in particular."

After saying these words, Secretary Chen Wen let out a long sigh, and then brought up that old story again.

Speaking of the reason for this incident, we have to start from twenty years ago.

It was still the early 1980s, when the family planning policy had just been established as a basic national policy. All parts of the country were paying close attention to family planning. Especially in rural areas, they tried every means to control the increase in the number of newborns.

.

At that time, family planning implemented a one-vote veto system. Family planning was a key indicator to measure the performance of local party committees and governments. This was the situation across the country, and Sidaogou Town was no exception.

Thousands of years of traditional culture have already formed the concept of having more children, more blessings, and a prosperous population. At this time, the family planning policy was implemented to limit the population's fertility. You can imagine how difficult it was at that time. Especially for people like Sidaogou

In places that have relatively few connections with the outside world and are relatively isolated, people's recognition of family planning is even lower.

However, Sidaogou Town also has unique conditions for circumventing family planning. From an objective point of view, Sidaogou Town has high mountains and deep ravines, and inconvenient transportation. Outsiders rarely come to Sidaogou Town. From a subjective point of view, the cadres in Sidaogou Town are basically

They are all locals in the town and fellow villagers, and they really can't bring themselves to do such things as annihilate their descendants.

So in those years, the family planning policy in Sidaogou Town was much looser than in other places, and it was still common to have three or four children.

However, childbirth is liberalized, but registering the extra children has become a big problem. After all, birth control can be liberalized, and outsiders can’t see it. But if they want to be registered, the county will definitely know about this situation.

of.

So at this time, many children from "black households" were born, but it was not an option to keep these children from "black households". They would definitely have trouble in going to school and finding jobs in the future. The town leaders at that time thought of a way - "fake marriage"

.

The so-called "fake marriage" actually exploited the loopholes of the family planning policy at that time. The policy at that time required that a couple could only have two children, but if a couple is a reorganized family, and both husband and wife only have one child

, then you are still allowed to have a child.

So there is such a strange situation. The couple already has two children, and then they go for a "fake divorce", awarding both children to one party, while the other party has no children, and then go through "fake divorce" with someone else.

"Fake marriage" procedures.

This kind of "fake divorce" or "fake marriage" is actually just a formality that needs to be completed in the town. The original relationship between husband and wife remains unchanged. When they have another child, they take advantage of the policy loopholes to obtain the household registration, and then they are registered again.

After a "fake divorce", she remarried her original husband. After two and a half years of marriage, it became common to have three children in the family.

This was the reality forced by the special circumstances of that era. In various villages in Sidaogou Town, such situations were not uncommon. Moreover, generally such "fake marriages" and "fake divorces" occurred between people in different villages.

It is carried out on time. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes, people in the same village rarely do this.

However, there is no airtight wall. This violation of family planning in Sidaogou Town was discovered by the county within a few years. The county sent a working group of hundreds of people to the village to investigate the situation.

.

You wouldn’t know if you didn’t investigate, but you would be really shocked once you investigate. In a few months, the investigation team found out that there were more than 500 children in the town who had been born “in violation of regulations”.

This is not a small number. It has accounted for more than half of the number of newborns in Sidaogou Town in the past few years since the implementation of family planning.

This has become another difficult problem before the county leaders. Although it sounds a bit tricky, Sidaogou Town's approach does not violate the family planning policy, and such a large illegal birth would definitely be a big deal.

It was a huge matter, and given the policy background at the time, the county party committee secretary could not bear this responsibility.

In addition, the law does not hold everyone accountable. There are so many families involved in this matter, and not all of them have to be dealt with. In the end, the county only dismissed several leaders of the town at that time, and carried out the marriage and divorce procedures in the town.

Once the regulations have been standardized, in the future, unified regulations will have to be implemented in the county.

For these newborns who have been converted from "black households", the county tacitly approves the legality of their household registration. However, there is a rule that they must settle and live in the family of their parents who have registered household registration.

This regulation was enacted to prevent large-scale population transfers from attracting the attention of higher-level departments and causing illegal births in Sidaogou Town. Unexpectedly, it left a foreshadowing for the future.

The direct consequence is that many children cannot live with their biological parents for the so-called "hukou". Even if they return to their parents, their hukou is not in their parents' home.

Due to the large number of children in these large numbers of children and the natural conditions of Sidaogou Town, the general family conditions of these children who had children were generally not good. Moreover, the children of this wave of children are now young people of marriageable age, and marriage has become a problem.

This time, the so-called "outsiders" who appeared in the quarry of Shanggou Village were those whose household registrations were in other villages, but they were really the children of Shanggou Villagers. The village party branch and village committee also considered these children at that time.

It was the actual situation that brought them to the quarry.

To enter the quarry in Shanggou Village, one must have a household registration in Shanggou Village, so these people entered the quarry under the names of people like "Chen Erxi".

But "Chen Erxi" and the others who were replaced were all relatives of the village cadres.

Chen Wen's action was originally a good intention, but the people in Shanggou Village who did not know the truth thought that Chen Wen was taking the opportunity to arrange for outsiders to enter the quarry, and this was the scene where Wang Zigang and others made trouble.

After listening to Chen Wen's story, Lu Yan finally understood what was going on, and the anger in his heart completely dissipated. Although Shanggou Village's approach is questionable, the starting point is still good, especially

Chen Wen did not disappoint him. He came up with this method in order to benefit the people of Shanggou Village.

As for Wang Zigang and the others, it was understandable that they would protect their own rights and interests before they knew the truth. Moreover, the principle that each village's quarry should handle its own labor force was also formulated by the town government at that time.

In the final analysis, it is because Sidaogou Town's economy is too backward and people's living standards are too low.

"Secretary Chen, I misunderstood you just now. I apologize." Lu Yan took the initiative to reach out his hand. Chen Wen quickly took Lu Yan's hand and said, "Secretary Lu, please don't say that. It's really because of us."

We did something wrong first, as long as you don't blame us."

"Who says it's not your fault?" Lu Yan said, but the expression on his face was relaxed, "The rule set at the beginning was that the village's quarry only provides labor for the village, and this must not be changed. We must

To solve the employment problem for these young people, you, Secretary Chen, can definitely come to me, there is no need to resort to this trick."

Lu Yan's statement made Chen Wen a little confused, but then Lu Yan said: "Now our Sidaogou Town is undergoing construction everywhere, and there are job opportunities everywhere. Tomorrow, you will open the quarry

All the workers here who are not registered as Shanggou have been dismissed and arranged for residents of the village. As for the dismissed people, you can bring them back to me and I will ensure that they are given jobs."

"Secretary Lu, are you telling the truth?" At this time, Chen Wen seemed a little unconvinced and asked in surprise.

"Nonsense, Secretary Lu has already stated his position, will he still deceive you?" Ma Zihan said to Chen Wen before Lu Yan could speak.

"By the way, Director Ma, please note this down and remind me later." Lu Yan said to Ma Zihan with a smile.

"Oh! Definitely, definitely." Ma Zihan quickly agreed, but he was already overjoyed. For Ma Zihan, today is a very memorable day, because the "Director Ma" just now was spoken by Lu
