Chapter 5 New Home

This is a small courtyard, fifty square meters. The courtyard wall facing the interface is made of mud mixed with broken bricks. The courtyard walls on both sides are made of straw. Although they are made of straw, the master of the grass wall is ingenious and uses two long and thick straw ropes to cross the center of the grass wall, which not only stabilizes the wall body and tightens the gaps between the grass wall. It is really both solid and beautiful. The poor people in the extreme north rely on this to deal with one winter after another.

But even such a small courtyard was divided into two places. The front entrance was close to the street door, facing the main house, while the door of a small wing room on the side of the main house turned around and carried the street. At this time, the Xue brothers and sisters were resting in this small wing room...

It is now deep, the hot summer during the day is gradually fading, and in the evening, there is a light rain again, which brings a lot of coolness. At this moment, the lights in this small earthen house have been turned off, and the faint starlight is scattered, which is particularly eye-catching in this deep night. Because this room is very small and less than ten square meters, the earthen kang, the bed in the northeastern world, is filled from east to west. Despite this, this earthen kang is only two meters long and wide. Xue Xiang raised his pillow and could hold it on one side of the wall without raising his instep.

In this room, except for this earthen kang, there is only a table and a chair, and there is not even a wardrobe. If you sniff carefully, you can still smell the strong smell of earth and the pickled rice that has been covered for a long time. In fact, this room was still a place to hold groceries and food a few hours ago. Because the Xue brothers and sisters arrived, they temporarily became a bedroom.

As soon as he got up, Xue Xiang, the deputy county magistrate of Xiaoshan County, is not very big. But in Xiaoshan County, sorted by the power structure of the Republic, it is also a big man in Xiaoshan County. How could he live in this small storage room? There is a hidden story in it.

It turned out that today, after a very unpleasant incident of a peasant bowing to the frontier of Xiaoshan County, we returned to the Xiaoshan County Party Committee Courtyard. Director Chen and Minister Sun read the appointment letter to Xue Xiang. After completing the organizational form, they said that they rejected the reception banquet between Wei Qiming and Yu Dingzhong and others. They rushed back without stopping, which made the scene quite embarrassing.

Logically speaking, these two people have left. Xue Xiang, the newly appointed deputy county magistrate, is still there, and this reception banquet can be eaten without delay. But Wei Qiming suddenly turned dark and said, "I am tired, let everyone use it for themselves." He left on his own. Wei Qiming, the top leader of Xiaoshan County, waved his face. Although he didn't know why it was put on or to whom, he made this cold face. If anyone is shameless and ate this meal indifferently, he would be in a lack of string in his mind.

So everyone retreated. Only Yu Dingzhong came over with a smile, and then persuaded a group of villagers in Qiaokou Village to withdraw. After persuading Xue Xiang, he said he would invite each other alone. Xue Xiang was going to respond. At this moment, Wang Gensheng, deputy director of the county party committee office, ran over and reported that "County Magistrate Xue's accommodation will be in a short while. There is no way to settle it."

Xue Xiang was puzzled at that time. Although he had never stayed in this local government, he knew that although there was no standing committee compound at this moment, there were always tube buildings. Why couldn't even accommodate the accommodation of a toast county party committee member? It was a big deal. When Wang Gensheng said that all the anger and doubts in his heart disappeared. It turned out that Xue Xiang's ex was adjusted before he reached the line, but the adjustment was not transferred elsewhere. He was taken to the National People's Congress and still worked in Xiaoshan County. However, this man was unhappy and refused to move. He said that moving was OK and asked the newly appointed County Mayor Xue to come and invite him in person.

Xue Laosan had never been kicked by a donkey. For this little thing, he went to be a veteran cadre to win over. Besides, he knew that he might not have the ability to do things, and his ability to do bad things was absolutely first-class. He was not willing to be a villain in vain. What's more, if he was a newcomer, if he did this, no matter how others looked at him, he would definitely put the hat of "disrespect for the veteran cadre" and "dominate" on him.

At that time, Yu Dingzhong asked, "Is there any other room on the floor?", but Xue Xiang politely declined. At this moment, he was not embarrassed to live in the Standing Committee building. It was not so disturbing, so he said that he would not cause trouble for the county party committee. He was looking for a house by himself. In fact, he didn't like to be crowded with a group of officials and his wife. Even if he himself became a group of officials, he was still a commoner at heart. Since he was a commoner, then down-to-earth was the first-class importance.

After searching, I found the house where Xue Xiang was sleeping. Speaking of which, in terms of layout and comfort, this house is far from Xue Xiang's enjoyable temperament, but there is naturally a reason why Xue Xiang chose him.

First of all, this room is very close to the county party committee compound, which is his office location, but only about two miles away. According to him, it is just a short distance of oil. Although Xue Laosan has no car at this moment, the speed of his journey is only about ten minutes, and it is even convenient.

Secondly, the owner of this house is extremely simple, with only one mother and two daughters. My mother is in her early forties and is in her prime and works in a county wool mill. The two sisters, the older one is sixteen, the younger one is threeteen, one is junior high school and the other is high school. The family has no one at all, and it is very clean. The family must be very fond of cleanliness, which is exactly the same as Xue Xiang's habit of being so neat and lazy to do things.

As for the fact that there is no male relative in this family, Xue Xiang's young man may have rumored concerns, and Xue Xiang had never considered it at all. After all, there is a little guy here, and even if someone wants to spread gossip, there will be no gossip that no one can believe.

However, the last and most important point, Xue Xiang chose this place because the storage room he was interested in, with the door facing a pool of clear water. This pool of clear water also has a nice name, Moon Lake, named Moon Lake, which is naturally related to its structural trend. It is pointed at the two ends, curved in the middle, and looks like the moon. This lake runs across the entire county town. The economic development has not yet begun, and the lake water is still clear and green, which is exactly the same as Xue Xiang's character of loving water in Leshan. There are more than a dozen willow trees growing by the lake opposite the door, and the willows are swaying, attracting the wind and provoking the moon. It really makes Xue Laosan very happy, and the simplicity of this snail residence is naturally incompatible.

The stars outside the window were shallow and the moon was faint. Xue Xiang thought about the villagers who kept kowtowing their heads this afternoon and were bleeding, but they were filled with thoughts and could not fall asleep. He thought to himself, if these villagers were not very wronged, they would never kneel down or kowtow, but what kind of grievances were there? Why did they kneel down and kowtow at their fingertips, but they wouldn't say it out and shout it out?

Xue Xiang was staring at the dark ceiling with his arm, and he was really unconscious. Speaking of which, he was a mediocre official today. He did not help the villagers seek justice, but he also used tricks to deceive them. But Xue Xiang knew that the people kneeled to see Qingtian and blocked the sedan chair for justice. After hearing the grievance, Qingtian invited the Shangfang sword and killed the corrupt officials to only appear in the play. If he did this today, it would be no different from the idiom. He might even draw a clear line with Director Chen, who always valued him. If things in the world were so easy, I wouldn't need to use the idiom "Little unbearable will cause big plans" to come out.

Although Xue Xiang deceived the villagers of Qiaokou Village, he felt guilty. Otherwise, those who waited for the people of Qiaokou Village would have to say that they would have fists and whips. In the end, no one was concerned about the affairs of the people. Even if Xue wanted to plunge in, he was shocked.

At this point, the affairs of the people in Qiaokou Village were involved in Xue Xiang's heart. He gritted his teeth secretly and found the right skill, but he had to ask for some questions.

Thinking of this, Xue Xiang felt a little relieved. This matter had been in his heart just now. Xue Xiang turned over, lowered his pillow, raised his hand to look at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock, and was about to fall asleep, suddenly, the little guy on the left turned over and lifted up the thin blanket on her belly. Xue Xiang used the starlight to reach out to cover her. Suddenly, the big hand that reached out was caught by the little guy, and then the little guy said, "Let's go, I'm hungry!"

Xue Xiang didn't expect that the little guy in the middle of the night would shout the word "hungry". It was unscientific. He said carefully that he was hungry too. After being tired for a day, he bought three pancakes when he was looking for a house. Two of them and one tiger were about to deal with it. He had previously cleaned up the house and tidy up his greetings, and then he was tired and busy resting his legs. But now he was too busy and extremely hungry.

"Have you brought your snacks?" Xue Xiang was also so hungry that he felt uncomfortable. When he thought of the little guy's strange but fragrant snacks, his mouth and tongue suddenly became salivating, and his taste buds suddenly jumped.

"No, I'm so anxious to leave. I must be cheap. Brother Stinky. I just dreamed that he was stealing my food. I discovered it. He ran away. I just grabbed one and stuffed it into my mouth. I woke up hungry. If you don't believe me, touch it, my stomach is shrunk." As he spoke, the little guy dragged Xue Xiang's big hand and pressed it on his round belly, pressed Xue Xiang's big hand and pressed it with force. As soon as he inhaled his little belly, his round belly immediately became shriveled.

Xue Xiangzhi was indeed hungry, but seeing that she was so funny, she still felt coquettish, "I can't help but be hungry, I have no choice but to buy it in the dark, and I don't have any place to buy it. It's not my own home. Be patient. I'll go buy some snacks tomorrow and save it, and I won't be hungry."

In the little guy's mind, the elder brother is omnipotent. Looking for the elder brother in trouble has become the most firm code of conduct in her heart. At this moment, this code is naturally not allowed to be broken. He hummed and rolled, and then he got into Xue Xiang's arms, squeezed and pinched, and lifted the thin blanket on his belly, put it on Xue Xiang's stomach. Finally, he saw the quilt at the head of the bed, struggled up his body, dragged it over, and covered it with Xue Xiang, while covering it, sneering, "Winter is coming, add a quilt to everyone."
