Chapter 26 Women's Director Luo Xiaomei
After lunch, Du Qingping rushed back to the township government. Because a lot of work to be done for the General Six inspection, Liu Siyu asked him to go to the Education Office to work with Xu Xiansheng to inspect the construction of the materials of each school. He stayed in Tongshan Village and prepared to learn more about the situation in Tongshan Village and see if there was a way to find a way to get rich for Tongshan Village.
Huang Yucheng and Song Baoguo were both excited and a little embarrassed when they heard that Liu Siyu had to stay on the mountain for two days. What was exciting was that since the commune was changed to the township government, Tongshan Village has almost become a forgotten corner. The previous township party and government leaders have never been here because the road is far away. Even ordinary cadres in the village can rarely see a few in a year, let alone live on the mountain. Liu Siyu was the first township leader to spend the night on the mountain. The difficulty was how to arrange the accommodation of Deputy Secretary Liu, because Tongshan Village was too poor, and many families did not have extra rooms and beds, and those quilts were covered.
Most of them were dilapidated. Even the village party secretary Huang Yucheng had only two bedrooms at home. His son just couldn't get used to staying at home and went out to work. As for Song Baoguo, the family had elderly and young people, which was really not suitable for guests like Deputy Secretary Liu. After thinking for a long time, the two decided to discuss with the village women's director Luo Xiaomei to see if Liu Siyu could be arranged to stay at her home. One reason was that her family had just purchased a new bed sheet and quilt last year, which was cleaned the cleanest, and the other was that there were extra rooms in her house, which was more thoughtful to take care of.
However, Luo Xiaomei's only family, she and a blind mother-in-law, and no man. Fortunately, the Tongshan villagers are simple and everyone sympathizes with Luo Xiaomei's experience. I think no one is gossiping.
Luo Xiaomei is 22 years old this year. She is small and delicate, white and beautiful. She is not a local. She is from Lingxi Province, a neighboring province. She met Song Junsheng three years ago when she was working in the south. After they fell in love, they returned to Tongshan Village to get married. Song Junsheng lost his father since childhood and relied on his mother Wang Guifen to raise him alone. Seeing that his son grew up and started a family and a career, Wang Guifen's joy was indescribable.
After the two got married, because they couldn't find money at home, they went to work in the south again. Unexpectedly, bad luck came about. One night after get off work, the two rushed from the factory to the rented place and met several drunken gangsters. The gangsters saw Luo Xiaomei's young and beautiful appearance, and suddenly became lustful and surrounded him and began to touch him. Song Junsheng saw that his wife was teased, stood up, blocked Luo Xiaomei, and asked Luo Xiaomei to run quickly. As soon as Luo Xiaomei ran away, he heard a few screams. When Luo Xiaomei called for someone to come, she saw Song Junsheng lying in a pool of blood.
Luo Xiaomei ran over and picked up Song Junsheng like crazy, and then sent him to the hospital with the help of several fellow villagers. Song Junsheng looked at Luo Xiaomei and said intermittently: "Xiaomei,...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I'm...I'm not...Okay...I'm taking care of me...Mom..." Luo Xiaomei's heart was as if she was slashed, and tears were pouring in. She hugged Song Junsheng tightly and kept shouting: "Junsheng, you're okay, you have to persevere, you're okay."
"…you…answer…I…I…”
Seeing Song Junsheng staring at his expectant eyes, Luo Xiaomei nodded desperately and said, "Junsheng, you will be fine, I will definitely take good care of my mother."
The divine light flashed in Song Junsheng's eyes, his head tilted, and he left the world, leaving only Luo Xiaomei's heartbroken cry.
Although the murderers were eventually caught and the leader was executed, Luo Xiaomei left the south with a desperate thought, not thinking of her helpless mother-in-law, she really wanted to leave with Song Junsheng.
She returned to Tongshan Village with Song Junsheng's urn. Wang Guifen learned that her lively son was lying back in the cold urn. She fainted when her eyes turned dark. After waking up, she didn't eat or drink for a few days, but just sat at the door of the house and kept crying. Luo Xiaomei prepared food every day and delivered it to her side. She said countless words, but she didn't move a chopstick. A few days later, she started eating, but she didn't say a word, just staring into the distance and staring in a daze, and then she burst into tears. Luo Xiaomei was worried that her crying would ruin her body, so she asked the villagers to persuade her, but the results were very little. In the end, Wang Guifen finally cried and blinded her eyes.
Luo Xiaomei thought that since she agreed to Song Junsheng's request when she was dying, and Song Junsheng also died for herself, she stayed in Tongshan Village to take care of her mother-in-law. Over the past year, many men have come to propose marriage when they see Luo Xiaomei young and beautiful, and skillfully. However, after hearing Luo Xiaomei's request to remarry with her mother-in-law, they all retreated. After learning that her son-in-law died, her father also asked her daughter to go back, but was rejected by Luo Xiaomei.
In this way, Luo Xiaomei and Wang Guifen depended on each other for their own sake. Fortunately, Luo Xiaomei was hardworking and willing to work hard. Although her life was a bit harder, she could still live. Huang Yu saw that she had seen the world and was educated, so she recommended her to serve as the women's director in the village and do some work in the village.
Liu Siyu decided to go to the village primary school to see the renovation of the school building. The three of them walked and talked about the school. Along the way, Liu Siyu observed the surrounding scenery and what products were there, asked about the situation in the village, and then wrote them down one by one in his mind. When he arrived at the village primary school, he saw more than a dozen people busy there, and the rotten rafters on the roof had been removed, and the two were probably carpenters who were constantly processing the rafters that were about to be replaced.
When he saw Huang Yucheng walking with him, several people greeted him enthusiastically.
Huang Yucheng looked at everyone and said loudly with a smile: "Let's stop the work at hand first, let's calm down, I'll introduce it to everyone." As he said that, he pointed to Liu Siyu, "This is the new Secretary Liu in our village, and also the village cadre in our village. Although Secretary Liu is young, Secretary Liu is a capable person. Do you know Zhou Hu? He was taught a lesson by Secretary Liu some time ago on the street."
"Ah," everyone around looked at Liu Siyu in surprise. The story of Zhou Hu being taught a lesson on the street that day can be said to be a household name in Heihe Township. But I didn't expect that the capable person was right in front of me, and this young man was this.
Some people's vision can be described as worship.
"Friends, Secretary Liu is responsible for our village. It is a blessing for everyone. Let's ask Secretary Liu to say a few words to everyone, everyone welcomes you." After Huang Yucheng finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the people also clapped. Liu Siyu glanced at a girl in red clothes with her eyes lit up, and she was very excited.
"Friends, since Secretary Huang asked me to say a few words, I will just say a few words casually, and I won't have to bulge my palm anymore." Liu Siyu waved his hand with a smile and began to say.
"As soon as I arrived at the township government, I was assigned to be responsible for the Lianshi Mountain Village. This shows that my fellow villagers and the fellow villagers of Tongshan Village are very destined to be together. This morning, I came to the village and learned a preliminary understanding of the situation. As a party cadre, I feel guilty. As you all know, my country has been reforming and opening up for more than ten years, and most of our fellow villagers have only solved the problem of food and clothing, and some of them even have problems with eating. This situation is not because the villagers are lazy, but mainly because our cadres' work has not been done well. Here, I promise to everyone that if we cannot find a way to get rich for the fellow villagers, I will never leave Heihe Township. In the next two days, I will conduct a detailed investigation of our fellow villagers. At the same time, I hope that our fellow villagers will have good suggestions and good ideas and say them all. I believe that as long as we all think of a way to get rich, we will definitely change the appearance of our fellow villagers."
As soon as Liu Siyu finished speaking, a burst of warm applause rang around him.
Until the rafters were replaced, Liu Siyu carefully inspected the school's school building. The school was really simple. The walls made of rocks were covered with cow felt. There was no glass on the large windows, and there were more than ten simple tables inside. A blackboard made of wood, and the paint fell off one by one.
Thinking of dozens of students studying in such an environment, Liu Siyu felt sad.
Huang Yucheng pulled Liu Siyu to the back of the school. The girl in red was standing there shyly. I don’t know if it was blown by the wind or something on her delicate face. Two red clouds floated, like two brilliant sunsets. Her hair was blown by the wind from time to time, setting off the beautiful mountains and forests around her, like a fairy.
While Liu Siyu was sighing inwardly, Huang Yucheng pointed at the girl and said, "Secretary Liu, I am Luo Xiaomei, the secretary of the Youth League branch and the director of women in our village. We discussed it and she will be responsible for your life in the past few days."
"Hello Secretary Liu!" After hearing Huang Yucheng's introduction, Luo Xiaomei was unnatural for a while, then walked up to Liu Siyu generously, stretched out her handsome hand, and said crisply.
"Hello, Comrade Luo Xiaomei." Liu Siyu held his mind, stretched out his right hand, held Luo Xiaomei's hand, and said with a smile, "I will cause trouble for you these two days."
Holding Luo Xiaomei's slightly cool little hand, Liu Siyu felt Luo Xiaomei's trembling.
"Where is causing trouble? It is a little girl's honor to be able to serve a big leader like you." Luo Xiaomei pulled her hand back and said mischievously. "I'm afraid Secretary Liu thinks we are not well-careeded by the country people."
"Haha, Comrade Luo Xiaomei is polite. I like to follow the local customs. Don't treat me as a leader. Just treat me as a member of your family." Liu Siyu said casually.
He did not realize the ambiguousness of this, but Luo Xiaomei's face turned redder after a moment of embarrassment. Huang Yucheng and Song Baoguo looked at each other, then hurriedly changed the topic and took Liu Siyu around the village to look. Luo Xiaomei went home to clean up and prepare to go.
