Chapter 108 Encounter on a Narrow Road
After Cai Kuangzheng left, Meng Jinxing returned to the room and put down his bag, took Shoumei who had come from Zhong Minxiu last time, and went to Xiao Yunshan's room.
Xiao Yunshan’s good tea is famous. When he saw Shoumei, he immediately asked Meng Jinxing to boil water. The two of them set up a tea stall.
Although he doesn't like to drink Kung Fu tea, fortunately he was infected by Meng Qingping since he was a child, but he has a lot of knowledge about tea. Not only does there be no obstacles in communicating with Xiao Yunshan, but he can also resonate with Xiao Yunshan from time to time.
Let’s talk about famous teas from all over the world, Gaoshan tea, and then talk about the local tea in Changfeng, and talk about whether the Sangyu Demonstration Zone can learn from Taiwanese people, and try to grow Gaoshan tea...
The topic was opened all the way, and there were hobbies involved, and the work concept was discussed. The atmosphere was random and harmonious. In this atmosphere, Meng Jinxing reached a consensus with Xiao Yunshan on Xu Yang's mobilization, social affairs management, management authority and other issues in the demonstration zone.
...
The next day, Meng Jinxing took some time to take Cai Qiang, who was transferred from the Land and Resources Bureau, and Sun Fei and Zhou Yun, who had just arrived to report, drove by Zhao Tao to Sheshan together.
Before leaving, he called Cai Kuangzheng and asked him to send two people to come over separately.
Qijiaba is located in the mountain valley in the west of Sheshan Township. The car left the road halfway, so the five people had to abandon their cars and walk there.
It had just been a winter rain, and the mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk. It took more than fifty minutes before a group of people entered the village.
The village is not big, and it was cut into two pieces of north and south by a ditch called Nantau. The houses in the south are built at the foot of the mountain, while the houses in the north are scattered on the slopes.
A scoop of paddy fields spreads along the gentle slopes of the village, crisscrossing and crisscrossing. It should be the main place where the people of Qijiaba rely on for their livelihood. Although there is no rice planted in this season, it is still green. When you get closer, you can see clearly that it is broad beans and rapeseed.
Meng Jinxing saw a chicken bus parked by the ridge of the field, and an old farmer was cleaning it up in the field, so he rolled up his sleeves and went forward to help. Sun Fei and others immediately came forward to help. Seeing this, the old farmer smiled like a chrysanthemum in the deep winter. After finishing his work, he sat on the ridge of the field with a hookah, pointing to the paddy field dam that had been in front of him for more than 00 years, and proudly counting the history of Qijiaba with them.
After talking about the past and now, the old farmer's face immediately fell down, his neck was as heavy as a hanging ear, and his head was drooping, "Qijiaba has unfilial descendants, and his generation is worse than the next!"
"Uncle, can you ask me if I'm going to ask me about it?" Meng Jinxing asked.
"It's done." As long as you don't talk about Qijiaba, the old farmer's spirit has calmed down again. He looked at the five people in front of him, "Are you going to the village to find someone?"
"I want to find someone named Qi Qingcheng." Meng Jinxing said.
Even though the old farmer's eyes had been chaotic, Meng Jinxing still saw a gloomy look coming out of his eyes in an instant.
"Qingcheng's family is gone and his people are abandoned. He said he was complaining from the county, but he couldn't afford to get sick after he went back. It seems that he wouldn't live long!" The old farmer knocked his pipe heavily on the soles of his shoes. "I don't know if his son and daughter-in-law have time to come back to see him for the last time!"
Meng Jinxing's heart sank, "Where is he living now? Can you show us a way?"
The old farmer suddenly realized something, looked at Meng Jinxing and his party carefully, and asked carefully: "Are you cadres from the county?"
He turned his attention to the oldest Zhou Yun, "Are you the big leader? Qingcheng is considered the one who hopes to be the master!"
Zhou Yun pointed at Meng Jinxing with embarrassment: "Uncle, this is our leader. If you have anything you know, you can tell him!"
The old farmer was stunned and looked at Meng Jinxing again. A deep word "chuan" was gathered between his sparse eyebrows, and his eyes were full of unconcealed suspicion, "Why are the leader young?"
Meng Jinxing scratched his ears embarrassedly, "Uncle, don't you look like a bad person?"
"The bad guys don't look like it. What can Qinggou kids do? It's not enough for the Qi family to beat you up and take off your skin."
"Uncle, our leader is very capable. If you have any questions, please tell him with confidence. He has a way to do it!" Mu Tian said on the side, "Does the mayor know? Our leader, if there is a mayor's phone number, even if he can't do it, won't there be a mayor?"
The old farmer was skeptical and raised his hand to point at the north mountainside, "Qingcheng's nephew moved to Changfeng a few years ago. Although half of the house collapsed, it is better than living in the wilderness."
Meng Jinxing and the others looked up in the direction he pointed. On the hillside of the sun in the north, there was a lonely earthen house with no close neighbor around it.
Meng Jinxing smiled at the old farmer and said, "Uncle, thank you!" He waved the mountain to Mu Tian and the others, "Let's go up."
"I will lead you up. The road to that house was destroyed two years ago. I have to go around the west." After the old farmer said that, he inserted the cigarette pole on his waist, stood up and patted his butt and went to push the chicken bus. Sun Fei said, "I will push you, you will lead the way forward."
The old farmer was not polite, and immediately walked with Meng Jinxing and walked to the west mountain. Sun Fei staggered and pushed the chicken bus to the end.
It seemed not far away, but after walking for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at the courtyard halfway up the mountain.
This small courtyard has a gate facing south. The main house facing north is a wall made of adobe, straw, and the roof covered by bamboo and straw. Both the east and west wings have collapsed. Only the two bedrooms in the main house are still left. Now one is a stove and the other is asleep.
Meng Jinxing and his party, led by the old farmer, entered Qi Qingcheng's room. The light was very dark, with plastic paper pasted on the window and bamboo couches on the stones. You could see the straw laid under the mattress.
Meng Jinxing felt that Qi Qingcheng's life seemed to have stagnated in the 1950s and 1960s.
The old farmer attached himself to Qi Qingcheng's ear and said a few words. Qi Qingcheng slowly opened his eyes and turned around and looked over with difficulty. Meng Jinxing quickly squatted down in front of the bed, looking at Qi Qingcheng, whose cheeks were red due to a high fever, said: "Hello Uncle Qi, I am Meng Jinxing from the Preparatory Office of Sangyu Demonstration Zone. I heard about you, so I will come to see you."
"Hello!"
Qi Qingcheng supported his body with difficulty, and his hoarse voice came out of his throat, which made Meng Jinxing feel very sad.
He raised his hand to stroke Qi Qingcheng's forehead, "So hot!" He raised his face to look at the old farmer, "Uncle, lend your car to use, I want to take Uncle Qi to the hospital!"
The old farmer nodded repeatedly, but Qi Qingcheng refused hoarsely: "Thank you... Thank you... I'm so fucking... I... I don't get... money, don't go..."
"Uncle Qi, don't worry about money!" Meng Jinxing stood up and directed Sun Fei, Mu Tian and the others carried the people, and Zhou Yun helped to pack the bedding to let Qi Qingcheng cover the road.
On the way down the mountain, the old farmer finally talked to Meng Jinxing about Qi Tianming occupying the mountain and houses.
Qi Qingcheng originally contracted many old trees grew on the south slope of the mountain. A year ago, a few outsiders driving jeeps came to the mountains to play. After seeing these trees, the village asked people who the owner of the mountain was, saying that they wanted to buy these old trees.
The villagers told the outsiders that the owner had been working outside for many years, and it was impossible for them to sell trees to them, so they were told to give up their minds.
Those outsiders were very persistent and found the village party secretary Qi Rulong. It happened that day Qi Rulong was not there, and Qi Tianming was at home. When he heard that the outsiders wanted to buy trees, he immediately negotiated the price and took people up the mountain to help cut trees. It took half a month to pull away more than 40 old trees.
"Do you know what tree it is?" Meng Jinxing asked.
The old farmer shook his head and said, "I can't remember. I only know that it's valuable. There are more than 40 trees. I heard that one tree is worth two thousand!"
Meng Jinxing looked at Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun immediately asked the old farmer: "Old man, where is the location of that mountain?"
"That's it!" the old farmer pointed to the mountain in the guide area, "There is a lot of depression here, and it turns out that it is the location of the elder tree."
"Has this kind of tree been cut off?" Meng Jinxing asked.
"It turns out there are, but in the first half of the year, those outsiders came and cut them away." The old farmer shook his head, "The Qi family's melon seeds didn't even give Qingcheng a penny."
Meng Jinxing pondered for a while and asked, "Does the village have a policy that the abandoned fields are from the mountains and will be taken back if they have been on the ground for a certain year?"
"Which of these hills has not been signed for 30 years? When did you see this agreement on it?" Lao Nong said angry, "Even if the mountains and forests are abandoned and reclaimed, this house cannot be taken back, right? Qi Rulong's family is both hooligans! I don't know if the leaders in the village are deaf or blind, so I can't see these things, so I let the father and son do evil in Qijiaba."
Meng Jinxing and the old farmer were chatting along the way, and they had a rough outline of the situation.
When they were about to walk out of the village entrance, a group of young people wearing green jackets and travel shoes stood in a row with their shoulders falling down, blocking Meng Jinxing and his party.
"Lu Heizi, these people want claws?"
The ma Ganer, who was standing in front, asked the old farmer, and Meng Jinxing and his party finally knew that the old farmer's surname was Lu.
"There are no claws, do you want claws?" Lu Heizi replied frivolously.
"You care about labor and capital claws!" Ma Gan'er was still a slapped eye. She glanced at Meng Jinxing and others around, walked to the rooster bus to see Qi Qingcheng, and then said to Lu Heizi, "Put him down to labor and capital, his brother still owes me money."
"Just be up!" Lu Heizi pointed at Meng Jinxing and said to Ma Gan'er, "This is a big cadre from the county. You'd better call your old man to come out and greet him, and don't shout at him here."
Ma Gan'er turned to look at Meng Jinxing, "Did you drive the car outside?"
Meng Jin didn't say anything, and Zhao Tao continued: "Do you want to fuck your claws?"
"Brothers accidentally broke the tire!" A group of young people burst out laughing at the same time, and Ma Gan'er said again, "I heard that the people driving this Ford in the county are very awesome, damn it! When I come to my Qijiaba, even Zheng Sanpao would call me an old man, Uncle Qi, and call me a little brother. This Guazi dared to hit Mr. Shi!"
"Qi Tianming, don't criticize miscellaneous matters! The cadres are going to take Qingcheng to see a doctor." Lu Heizi shouted angrily.
"Take a doctor?" Ma Gan'er curled his lips disdainfully and said to Meng Jinxing, "I'm going to die, I'm still looking at a hammer! If I guess correctly, you are Meng Jinxing! I'll teach you, being a human being, especially being an official, you must be able to see people's faces. You can move, and you must learn to distinguish!"
Qi Tianming not only broke Ford when he wanted to take Qi Qingcheng to see a doctor, but also spoke not only arrogantly and inhumanly. Meng Jinxing's anger became more and more intense, and his eyes became cold and gloomy.
