077 Pig's Funeral
Zhong Minxiu was a little embarrassed.
In her opinion, Meng Jinxing just had a sweet mouth and people would cause trouble. The incident between Xiawan and Jinsi Bian happened to happen to him. In fact, he was still young and had not experienced much, and now it was him.
It would be a pity if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity to find out about the move to evacuate the village and merge it with the town.
But Meng Jinxing hit the point with just one sentence, making her dare not underestimate this little brother again.
She took a few sips of tea before she raised her head and said nonchalantly: "I guess you have some insight. The county is already making a report and is preparing to merge the three townships of Sangyu, Sheshan and Longping."
"Hey, this is a weak and weak thing supporting each other."
"No matter how weak you are, Sangyu is the weakest!" Zhong Minxiu said, "Compared to merging with Daxiang, your chances will be 10% better this way."
"Only 10%?" Meng Jinxing said immediately, "Sister, let me tell you, it is precisely because Sangyu is so poor now that the subsequent large-scale development will not be as good for Sangyu and the merged Sheshan and Longping.
Just draw on a white paper! They will benefit a lot from merging with Sangyu, really."
"You think so?"
"Shouldn't we think about it from this perspective?" Meng Jinxing looked at her, "What do Sheshan and Longping have more of? It's farmland on the plains. Without development, they will indeed be relatively better-looking than Sangyu.
economic situation, but this cannot change the backwardness brought about by environmental isolation. On the contrary, in Sangyu, the city has approved the pilot development of tourism, and investment funds from all parties are also being negotiated. Once the three townships are merged, they will jointly
Enjoy the fruits of development! Can you still say that the opportunity is only 10% more?”
Zhong Minxiu was used to organizing work and never calculated economic accounts at the grassroots level. Meng Jinxing talked to her about her own opportunities from the perspective of economic development, which made her eyes light up.
"This is a good entry point." She said, "However, you suffer from your junior qualifications and short tenure. Once such a large project is placed in the merged new town, many people will probably ask for calmer cadres.
Come and pressure the situation.”
Meng Jinxing smiled, "Okay, haven't we always advocated the party leading the government? The secretary should be mature and prudent, and the township chief should be younger and more aggressive. Wouldn't this configuration be good?"
Zhong Minxiu couldn't help but smile when he saw that he said it so matter-of-factly, "You're not polite at all!"
"If I were to be polite at this time, it is very likely that the funds and projects that I have worked hard to obtain during this period will be completely different in the end." He said.
Zhong Minxiu pondered for a while and said: "Let me give it a try. When Xiao County talks to you, you'd better set another goal on this basis, so that you can truly reflect your courage."
Meng Jinxing said to himself, without this merger, I would have been forced into trouble by Weng Canhui, let alone now.
"Okay, I'll go back and add it all up again," he said.
After talking about the business, Zhong Minxiu saw that it was already late and asked casually: "Would you like to have dinner with me?"
"No, I have to rush back to Sangyu tonight. People from the Municipal Tourism Bureau will arrive early tomorrow to inspect the karst caves and other scenic spots in Xiawan. I have to accompany them."
So Zhong Minxiu went ahead, and Meng Jinxing paid the bill and drove back to Sangyu.
A night of silence.
It was dawn the next day, and Meng Jinxing was woken up by a burst of loud gongs and drums. He put on his clothes and opened the door to the balcony. He met He Qifeng who had also been awakened. The two looked at each other and asked at the same time: "What's going on?"
?”
"I'm going to take a look." Meng Jinxing put his hands into his sleeves and went downstairs.
As soon as I got down to the last staircase, I almost bumped into Feng Lin who was about to go upstairs.
"Where did you come from?" Meng Jinxing pushed Feng Lin.
"Don't you hear where these gongs and drums are coming from?"
"You came from the door?" Meng Jinxing glanced in the direction of the township government gate, and walked out with Feng Lin, "What happened?"
"On the night when more than 30 pigs in Lao Zou Tou's family received injections, they began to starve to death one after another. Nearly one adult pig died and nearly 10 piglets were aborted. The loss is estimated to be no less than 50,000," Feng Lin said, "
The old guy is more distressed than my dead mother!"
Meng Jinxing was shocked when he heard the numbers.
This amount of money is a huge amount of money for any family in Sangyu!
"Is this what the gongs and drums are beating at the door?" He has completely heard that the gongs and drums coming from the direction of the township government door are sad music!
Feng Lin nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's a funeral for the pig!"
"A funeral for a pig?" Meng Jinxing was surprised.
"Yes." Feng Lin said, "I called Lu Dayong's home and said that he went to Wuyi Village yesterday and hasn't come back yet. I don't have the contact information of other people, so I can only ask the brothers in the institute to come in first.
The door is supported."
At this time, Mu Tian was also woken up, ran out of the dormitory, and caught up with Meng Jinxing and the others.
When Meng Jinxing saw him, without saying a word, he asked him to immediately find a way to contact Zhou Yun, the deputy director of the veterinary station, and at the same time summoned people from the party, government, and social affairs office.
While they were talking, the two of them were no more than twenty meters away from the gate.
At a glance, two groups of villagers in white uniforms lined up outside the gate of the township government. What made Meng Jinxing find it ridiculous was that a few sounds appeared from time to time amid the noisy suonas and gongs and drums in the air.
Crying in mourning.
At this moment, Jiang Qinfang ran in from outside the gate and rushed to Meng Jinxing, gasping for breath, "Head of the township... this is terrible! Director Liu... Director Liu, his skull was cracked!"
Meng Jinxing and Feng Lin were stunned at the same time, and then exchanged glances. Feng Lin immediately ran out. Meng Jinxing asked Jiang Qinfang, who had recovered his breath: "Tell me the whole story."
"Lao Liu from the cafeteria usually buys pigs from Lao Zou. Yesterday, he received a call from Lao Zou, telling him that a lot of pigs had died. He thought that Lao Zou didn't want to sell them because we offered too cheap a price, so he deliberately teased him, so he rode
I got in the car and went to Lao Zoutou's house, only to see that they were holding a funeral for the pig in the village and howling to cry at the gate of the township government. He immediately came back and reported the matter to Director Liu."
"Why didn't Lao Liu report to me yesterday?"
"Where!" Jiang Qinfang said, "When he saw that you were not there, he went to find Secretary He. Secretary He asked Chen Xiang to go to Wuyi Village to have a look. He thought that since Chen Xiang went, Secretary He knew about it.
I won’t call you.”
"What happened next?"
"Chen Xiang took Stationmaster Lu with him. On the way, he happened to meet the two Li brothers from Qingping Village. They stopped him and asked for an explanation for the boundary of a mountainous area. Stationmaster Lu went there alone.
Village One. After Chen Xiang came back, he never heard of Lu Zhan’s report to him. He got up early and called Lu Zhan’s home, only to find out that he had to come back. He called Director Liu and asked Director Liu to wait for him in the village first, and then go to May Day together.
village……"
Jiang Qinfang could roughly guess what happened next, not even Meng Jinxing. He interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "How many people are outside and do you know their composition?"
"There are about twenty or thirty people, all young and strong men." Jiang Qinfang said.
Meng Jinxing frowned and said, "Don't go out. Go back immediately and tell Mu Tian that no female comrades from the two offices should come over."
After saying that, he walked out of the gate.
Lao Zou knelt in front of the paper sacrificial house wearing a sackcloth and mourning, and threw the yellow papers into the fire one by one. When he saw Meng Jinxing coming out, he cried out in a long voice, and his voice was natural, "Pigs, you are going to die."
What an unjust death, what an unjust death! Lu Dayong, who was cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, who is the black-hearted veterinary station, who can make the decision for us, who can make the decision for us!"
Meng Jinxing saw that he was crying seriously, so he simply left him alone and scanned the crowd. He was convinced that most of them were people from Wuyi Village, and he felt a little relieved.
It is not scary for ordinary people to complain about something. What is scary is that people with ulterior motives get involved in causing trouble. This phenomenon can be seen everywhere, and Meng Jinxing has to be on guard against it.
After observing the situation, Meng Jinxing simply walked to Lao Zoutou, patted his trouser legs, and knelt down with a "plop".
Old Zootou's crying stopped abruptly and he looked at Meng Jinxing blankly.
Meng Jinxing pretended not to see his reaction, picked up three incense sticks from the ground in front of him, lit them, raised the incense towards the pig memorial tablet in the sacrificial room, then inserted it into the soil, and said loudly: "Pigs, be well.
Rest in peace! As long as you really died unjustly, I will help you pay for your grievances!"
Lao Zou pushed Meng Jinxing's left shoulder with his right hand, looked into his eyes and asked: "Head of the township, do you really mean what you said?"
"Seriously!" Meng Jinxing nodded.
"This is a serious matter, so please don't bully us!"
"Old Zoutou, do you think I, Meng Jinxing, look like a Huo person?"
Old Zou sniffed his nose and said nothing.
Meng Jinxing said: "Old Zoutou, you are right to complain. I understand that you treat pigs as children! However, you must also think about the face of so many fellow villagers in the township, and you must be worthy of everyone for so many years.
Respect for you!"
Old Zoutou stopped crying and glared: "Hammer! How can I ever feel sorry for you? Did my pig die unjustly and I'm not even allowed to cry? Mayor, don't blame me!"
"I'm not trying to blame you!" Meng Jinxing faced him and said, "Did you know that Sangyu is going to engage in tourism?"
"I know, so what?"
"These days, people from above often come to inspect, and many bosses come with money. If they see this scene in front of them, what do you think they will think?"
Old Zou was stunned for a moment, then he tilted his neck and said harshly, "Then help me catch the pig killer! Once the murderer is caught, I will naturally go back!"
"The road leads back to the road, and the bridge leads back to the bridge." Meng Jinxing said, "You are a scholar, so you should understand this truth, but don't let me underestimate you."
As soon as Meng Jinxing finished speaking, a young boy in the mourning procession shouted, "You are so stupid! Why are you so verbose? Call that bitch from the veterinary station to come out and see if I kill her!"
Meng Jinxing stood up after hearing this and looked at the young man, "What do you want to do?"
"The labor and management are going to beat you officials to death to see if you continue to bully others like a dog!" The young man jumped out of the team and punched Meng Jinxing straight to the door.
Chapter completed!
