1.
The next afternoon, the township head Nan Peixin sent Deputy Director Bi of the township party and government office to send Zhao Tiewei to Banshan Village. On the way, Deputy Director Bi told Zhao Tiewei what the village cadre should pay attention to while driving. He also told Zhao Tiewei that there was still a village cadre in the village. After handing over the work on hand, the cadre could go back. Zhao Tiewei nodded as he listened. He looked at the scenery outside the window and thought, Why are the mountains here all gray? Many of them are barren hills. Was it because of poverty?
"I can't remember again. What's your name again?" Associate Chief Physician Bi suddenly asked.”
After Zhao Tiewei answered, he asked Associate Chief Physician Bi,"How should I address you?"
Associate Chief Physician Bi took out a business card from his shirt pocket and handed it to Zhao Tiewei."This is my business card. There is a phone number on it. If you have anything in the future, just contact me directly. Your relationship will be temporarily transferred to the office. You can adjust it when you return to your hometown from the village.”
"You'll be my superior from now on, so please take care of me." Zhao Tiewei smiled.”
Associate Chief Physician Bi nodded repeatedly.”
Zhao Tiewei started to look at Associate Chief Physician Bi's name card. He first looked at it once, then widened his eyes and looked at it again. He raised his head to look at Associate Chief Physician Bi, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to hold back his laughter. He turned his head to the right window, but he could not hold it in. He suddenly laughed and almost slipped out of his seat. He quickly covered his mouth, and his face turned red, but he still laughed out loud.
When Associate Chief Physician Bi saw Zhao Tiewei's angry expression, his face turned the color of pig liver. He stepped on the brakes and said with an extremely ugly expression,"What are you laughing at? Be serious!"
The car had already stopped. Deputy Chief Physician Bi wanted to kick Zhao Tiewei out of the car, but he suppressed it. He thought of the chief secretary, Feng Yong, who had sent Zhao Tiewei here. This person was not to be trifled with. One had to look at the owner when beating a dog. One should not lose the big for the small. Deputy Chief Physician Bi suppressed his anger and put the gear in. He was speechless the whole way and did not even look at Zhao Tiewei.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village committee, Deputy Director Bi said,"You can leave now. Find the village officer here called Da Hong. He will hand over the matter to you. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first.”
Zhao Tiewei quickly took out two boxes of Zhonghua cigarettes from his bag and placed them on the dashboard."Thank you for your hard work, director." She quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
The old Santana that was seven or eight years old was like a frightened old cow. It drove off with a bang, and the dust behind it blew Zhao Tiewei's face. Zhao Tiewei looked at the old Santana that was far away and took out the business card. The deputy director of the office of Kaoshan Village, Bi Yuntao.
He laughed again." F * ck, why aren't you laughing? Is there anyone with that name?" Bi Yuntao? Isn't this a condom? Who wouldn't laugh?"
Han Jiakang, the village chief of Half Mountain Village, was in his fifties. The color of his face and the wrinkles on his skin were like dried walnut skin. More than half of his hair had turned white, and a few of his teeth had fallen out. From afar, he looked like a man in his sixties. The wind in the mountains was hard, and it was like a knife stabbing into the skin. People looked a little older, but their bodies were still very strong. There was nothing wrong with them, unlike city people who had rosy faces, especially black hair, and especially neat teeth. In fact, their hair was dyed, and their teeth were set back. They had high blood sugar, high blood sugar, and diabetes. They even had to get an injection into their stomachs before eating.
The people in the mountains were warm, honest, and kind. When they heard that there was a college student cadre, they were very happy. They always hoped that the village cadre would bring something to the village. However, after changing a few groups of people, it was still the same. Their hopes fell on this new cadre again. However, when they saw Zhao Tiewei, their hearts turned cold again. A student child had come. What could he do? The radish grew on his back. He was a cadre. He could not save the effort of entertaining him.
The current village cadre was Da Hong, the head of the village agricultural machinery station. He was tall, 1.8 meters tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His black and hard hair was neatly pointed at the sky, making people think of a steel brush. Although he looked dignified, he was actually full of sh * t. He loved to play mahjong and drink alcohol. Once he drank, he dared to brag about everything. However, this was not the case in the village. No one played mahjong with him, and no one listened to his bragging. If he wanted to drink, he had to buy it himself. He had only stayed here for three months, but Big Hong felt like it had been three years. In the Mid-Mountain Village, he was like a monk who was counting his fingers every day. People in their thirties did not like to do serious work.
Zhao Tiewei's arrival made him excited. He really wanted to sleep, so he had a pillow. His enthusiasm for Zhao Tiewei made Zhao Tiewei feel embarrassed. He shook Zhao Tiewei's hand and asked about his well-being. Zhao Tiewei was extremely touched. People who could be leaders knew how to treat others. Otherwise, how could he become the station chief of the agricultural machinery station?
Village Chief Old Han killed a chicken and bought a few bottles of local liquor from the village's snack shop. He called a few village officials to entertain the new village officials. Zhao Tiewei sat alone in the courtyard smoking. Uncle Han's family was busy cooking. Zhao Tiewei was unfamiliar with the place and couldn't help. As he smoked, he remembered his failure just now. When he saw the name Bi Yuntao, he laughed uncontrollably and angered Director Bi. However, Director Bi's name was too strange. Couldn't the police tell when they registered their names? Yang Wei, Shi Zhenxiang, these were all jokes that people said. They didn't expect such things to really happen in life. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but laugh again.
Big Hong came out of the house and said,"Don't laugh like a fool. Come in and eat!"”
The villagers had a habit of bringing a dish to every house they went to eat. It was actually a poor habit. They were afraid that there would not be enough food if there were too many people. In the middle of the table, there was a pot of steaming chicken stewed with mushrooms. Someone brought salted pork, salted wild rabbit meat, and a few hot and cold dishes. The table was filled.
Station Chief Da Hong was a person who beamed at the sight of wine. He took six wine glasses and filled them all up. He said to Zhao Tiewei,"Little Zhao, you're new here, so let me introduce you to the local wine culture. You're a guest, so the local landowners have to give you a toast each. After one round, you'll give the landowners another toast each.”
Zhao Tiewei glanced at the alcohol content of the local liquor-67 degrees, and his heart skipped a beat. Then, he looked at the glass and immediately calculated that after two rounds, he would have drunk eight taels of liquor. He had never drunk such a high-alcohol white wine before. Usually, he only drank foreign wine and Wuliang liquor. He was afraid that he would be finished today, but he said,"When in Rome, do as the locals do.”He thought to himself that at worst, he would just drink it down and not let others look down on him.
Village Chief Old Han took the lead to propose a toast, and the other officials followed suit. Zhao Tiewei accepted all of them with a smile. This round of wine cost three taels and two taels of wine. Big Hong was really not bad. He was not considered a landlord.
There were two drumsticks and six people. Old Uncle Han picked one up with his chopsticks and placed it in Zhao Tiewei's bowl."Eat some food first before drinking.”
Zhao Tiewei looked at Old Uncle Han with a touched expression and nodded. He took the drumstick and started eating. Station Chief Da Hong did not have the chance to drink at this time, so he decided to toast himself. He took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Tiewei ate a chicken drumstick. He felt a little confident. It was time for him to toast the four landowners. He would sing whatever songs he went to. When in Rome, do as the locals do. His grandfather had told him before he came to the village that respecting the local customs was a very important thing. It was the first step to integrate into the local people.
After drinking three taels of wine, Zhao Tiewei felt warm in his heart. He knew that he had to pass today's test. Rules were rules. Zhao Tiewei raised his glass and toasted Old Uncle Han one glass at a time. Six taels of wine were drunk in twenty minutes. No matter what, time was faster. Now, it was not a problem of his stomach feeling hot. It was the house turning a little, but he could only endure it.
Station Chief Da Hong was a little unhappy. He said to Zhao Tiewei," I've wasted ten years more than you, and I've lived in the village for three months. I haven't made any progress. The next step is up to you."
"Here's to you, senior." Zhao Tiewei quickly raised his wine glass.”As he said that, he clinked the top of the glass with the bottom of Station Chief Da Hong's glass, and Da Hong drank it with a satisfied smile.
Zhao Tiewei had already drunk nine glasses of wine. Seven taels of strong wine made Zhao Tiewei feel as if his heart was on fire, and his forehead was covered in sweat. This was almost his limit. He stuttered,"Next…drinking is…is it casual?”
Everyone laughed. Old Uncle Han said," Officer Zhao, you're very kind. There aren't many villagers who can pass this test. You're good."”
When Zhao Tiewei heard this, he turned the glass upside down on the table. This was what he learned from the Beijing people when he was in university in Beijing. It meant that he would never drink again. The people at the table saw that Zhao Tiewei had drunk quite a lot, so no one said anything. Zhao Tiewei was afraid that others would make him drink again, so he took out five boxes of soft Zhonghua cigarettes from his bag. One box for each person on the table. Old Uncle Han took the Zhonghua cigarettes and opened them. He took out one and lit it up."I've heard of Zhonghua cigarettes, but I've never smoked them before. How much is a pack of these cigarettes?”
Zhao Tiewei gestured with three fingers, and Old Uncle Han said,""Three yuan a pack is too expensive. You can buy three catties of tobacco leaves. Young people dare to spend money!”
Zhao Tiewei smiled bitterly and didn't dare to state the actual price. He saw Station Chief Da Hong glance at him and picked up the cigarette box to look at it repeatedly. Zhao Tiewei thought that this kind of cigarette couldn't be smoked in the village in the future. Even Uncle Han said that three yuan was expensive. If he knew the true price, he would be heartbroken. Old Uncle Han picked up the only drumstick and placed it into Zhao Tiewei's bowl.""Officer Zhao, are you going to stay here in the future?”
Zhao Tiewei nodded. At this moment, his face was flushed red, and his blood flow was accelerating. He had long entered a state of excitement. "Three months?" Old Uncle Han asked.”
Zhao Tiewei said loudly under the influence of alcohol,"I won't leave until the village's per capital income ranks first!"”
Everyone was stunned when they heard that. Big Hong rolled his eyes when he heard that. Old Uncle Han said,"Do you know how much the difference between Half Mountain Village and the village with the highest income in the township is? There was a difference of 180 yuan per person! A thousand people in the village was 180,000! Officer Zhao is talking nonsense!"
"A gentleman never goes back on his word!" Zhao Tiewei said seriously.”
Old Uncle Han was dumbfounded. The other village officials were also shocked and looked at Zhao Tiewei, speechless. Station Chief Da Hong only drank half of Zhao Tiewei's drink. He raised his glass and muttered to himself,"Wine is a good thing, but it can only be stored in a bottle. Once it enters a person's stomach, it loves to torment people!”
Old Uncle Han felt that Zhao Tiewei must have drunk too much, so he advised kindly,"Young man, don't drink like this in the future. It's too fierce!”
Hearing Old Uncle Han's words, Zhao Tiewei was unhappy. Under the influence of alcohol, he stood up and said,"Too fierce? Torturing people? Tell me, what is the most important thing for the village to solve now? What did the villagers want to do the most?”
Old Uncle Han said without thinking,""Electricity! The village was divided into two halves. There was electricity at the foot of the mountain, but there was no electricity halfway up the mountain! There were dozens of families who were still lighting lamps and boiling oil. This was the matter that needed to be resolved the most!”
Zhao Tiewei's face was as red as a cockscomb, and he could not open his eyes. He forced himself to ask,"How much would it cost to pull the electricity up the mountainside?”
"Twenty thousand dollars!"
Zhao Tiewei waved his hand in the air.”
Everyone was shocked by Zhao Tiewei's words. They couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or just talking about alcohol. The township leader was really f * cking mean. He didn't even tell him about the electricity supply and let a newcomer announce it. Who the f * ck did this result belong to? Village Chief Han was excited and shouted,""Old woman, kill him a sheep, and I'll get drunk today!”
Someone poured wine and someone lit a cigarette. The greedy ones heard this and ran out to help kill the sheep. The villagers were unimaginably poor. Unless it was a festival, no one would be willing to kill a sheep to eat. All of a sudden, the crowd was agitated. Station Chief Da Hong picked up a cup and drank it. He was extremely annoyed. He had been in the village for so many years, but in the eyes of the township leader, he was inferior to a newcomer!
Suddenly, everyone realized that Zhao Tiewei had gone silent. When they looked again, they saw that he was leaning against the wall and had fallen asleep with his head tilted. He was still drooling. Station Chief Da Hong suddenly realized that Zhao Tiewei had drunk too much. The 20,000 yuan electricity supply was definitely not approved by the township leaders, but by the alcohol in Zhao Tiewei's stomach! He quickly tried to smooth things over." Village Chief Han, don't take it seriously. Look at him. He's drunk. Do you think he can still speak?" As far as I know, the village still owes the school teachers three months 'salary. How can they have the money to supply electricity to the village?”
Village Chief Han turned around and shouted,""My dear mother, don't kill the sheep yet. Officer Zhao is talking nonsense!”
