Chapter 38 Secret Placement
Niu Dajun and his colleagues handed over letters there. Niu Dajun signed another colleague's notebook to prove that he had taken the letters. He put the letters away in a canvas bag and took notes.
He Tiantian watched Niu Dajun's work from the side and secretly praised him. Although this man was tall and simple in appearance, he had a delicate heart and was righteous and sincere, which was rare.
Niu Dajun finally finished it, and said with a smile: "Let's go and eat."
Niu Dajun was afraid that he didn't have enough tickets, so he secretly borrowed some from his colleagues and took them to eat at a delicious state-owned restaurant here. Niu Dajun asked Qi Xiaoyan, He Tiantian, and Qi Ergou to order, but they were embarrassed, so in the end it was Qi Dajun who ordered the food himself.
A plate of braised pork, two crucian carp, a plate of vegetables, a plate of fried beans, and a large bowl of tomato and egg drop soup.
Originally, Niu Dajun ordered a Sixi Meatballs, but Qi Xiaoyan quickly stopped him. With so many dishes, Niu Dajun would have to spend a lot of money. No matter how much, four people can't finish it.
There are not many people eating now, so the food will be served soon.
"Brother Niu, this place is really nice, and the food is very generous." He Tiantian praised. From Niu Dajun's perspective, his family is not very wealthy and he is the only son in the family. After finding his letter, He Tiantian gave the wild rabbits and pheasants at home to Niu Dajun as a thank you.
Niu Dajun smiled innocently, winked and lowered his voice: "My cousin works here, she is the waiter just now."
I have a sister here, so although I can’t charge less, the food is very generous.
Qi Xiaoyan smiled and said, "No wonder, that sister was so enthusiastic just now, it's great."
Qi Ergou swallowed his saliva, hehe, even if he had the ingredients at home, he couldn't make it taste like this.
There was no rice for lunch, only steamed buns, and ten steamed buns were served.
"Okay, eat it while it's hot. You're welcome. It's not enough. Let's ask for more." Niu Dajun said, inviting everyone to eat.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan each ate one and a half steamed buns, and the two of them ate three. Niu Dajun ate three and Qi Ergou ate three. They were too embarrassed to eat any more, so they should have been persuaded by Qi Dajun to eat the last steamed bun.
"Sister Li, we want to go relieve ourselves." He Tiantian whispered. She came out early in the morning and hasn't gone to the toilet yet.
This Niu Lili is Niu Dajun's cousin. She quickly smiled and said: "Those who are in the back, I will take you there."
"Thank you, Sister Li." He Tiantian said, taking Qi Xiaoyan to the bathroom at the back.
Niu Lili is a passionate person who only lasted for one meal, and she is very familiar with Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian.
After dinner, Niu Dajun, Qi Ergou took He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan to the commune to meet with Village Chief Qi.
There were many people in the commune's courtyard, making noisy noises, but Village Chief Qi stayed silent and allowed them to make noises. There were also some people, dressed in rags and looking depressed, standing in the courtyard and not daring to move, as if they were waiting for something.
In his previous life, Village Chief Qi brought back seven people. They were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, unable to work, but they lived well in Qijia Village without suffering. Precisely because of the presence of these few old people, after the news about the college entrance examination spread, these people worked out questions overnight and helped many young people in the city and people in Qijia Village get into college.
He Tiantian and Qi Fangfang also went to college with the help of these people, but at that time the Qi family was worried that she would not come back after going to college, so they said that the family was poor and could not afford to support two children. At that time, He Tiantian was naive and took the initiative to let Qi Fangfang go to school.
As for Qi Xiaoyan, she could have taken the college entrance examination, but she was pregnant at the time and could not take the college entrance examination. Li Mingkai took the college entrance examination and was lucky enough to pass it. He didn't want Qi Xiaoyan when he went to college in the city.
At that time, people who got married in rural areas could not get a marriage certificate if they were under the legal age. Many people get married and apply for a new marriage certificate, just for a few tables. Li Mingkai abandoned Qi Xiaoyan because he did not have a marriage certificate. Qi Xiaoyan couldn't let go and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
By the time everyone had finished picking them, there were only seven or eight old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the yard.
Director Chen is responsible for the placement of these elderly personnel. The young and middle-aged people and the old people with strong legs and feet were all taken away. When it was Qijia Village's turn, they were all like this. Director Chen is embarrassed, do you want the Qi family to die in retirement?
"Dazhu, it's hard for you." Director Chen said, we can't leave these people here, what will it be like.
Village Chief Qi is not a fool, but he did not come forward to quarrel with those people before, because his second son wrote to him, telling him to be nice to the people who were arranged to come to the village. He also observed just now that many people here don't look like bad people. He didn't understand why he treated such a person like this. If he is guilty, just close the prison and shoot him!
Although he was not opposed to accepting these people in his heart, Village Chief Qi still looked embarrassed. When encountering such a thing, he expressed embarrassment in front of the leader. The leader would also give some benefits to the village appropriately and said: "Director Chen, you see these people have arrived in the countryside. , I can’t do any work at all, didn’t I invite a bunch of ancestors back?”
Director Chen also understands this truth, but people from other villages have taken people away, so there is nothing he can do if they stay here. He will give it to Qi Dazhu no matter what.
There is another important reason. He received secret instructions that three of them must be sent to Qijia Village. He wanted to ask at that time, but those people said that this was not something he should know, and he did not dare to ask.
"Dazhu, I know it's hard for you, but you can't leave people here." Director Chen said, "Don't worry, as long as you take all these people away, I will double the number of livestock in your village tomorrow. If the number of oxen does not increase, it will be added to the number of pigs and sheep, and it will still be put on the shelves according to this year's number. You can deal with the rest by yourself."
When Village Chief Qi heard this, he was very happy. In addition to oxen, half of the livestock in the village must be handed over, and the rest can be dealt with by themselves. In addition to leaving one to kill and distribute to the villagers, the rest will be taken to the purchasing station and sold. At the end of the year, each family can also get a lot of money.
Obviously, the number has doubled, and the things handed over have not increased, so life in the village will be better next year. Four-legged animals eat grass, not grain, as long as people are diligent in cutting grass.
"Is what Director Chen said true?" Village Chief Qi asked back, don't deny it when the time comes, after all, to feed these people, the village still needs to pay most of the grain.
Director Chen assured: "I'll keep my word. I can write you a note right now. These are all elderly people who probably can't do heavy work. They can still do some work like mowing grass, raising pigs and sheep, so I understand your difficulties."
After settling the people as soon as possible, Director Chen still has other work to do.
