Chapter 157: The investment office is arresting people
In the village, the Li family.
Liang Yuemei was feeding chickens in the yard. The Lu family's sister-in-law came over and looked at the hens with their chicks enviously. She also listened to the humming of the piglets in the pigpen and said with a smile:< br>
"Your family is really getting better this time. When the winter comes, a pig will be sold for dozens of yuan! By the way." , Qiangqiang’s father? He didn’t go to work today and went to work in the fields?”
“No, I’m going to find the captain,” Liang Yuemei said with a smile, “Didn’t the team notify me. Well, to feed eight pigs, even if you are a professional pig farmer, you will be given a few acres of feed land according to the regulations of the commune.”
"That's great!" Sister-in-law of the Lu family added another item of envy, but then she asked doubtfully:
"I remember that your family didn't have six little pigs, did you buy this again?"
“No, Xiaolong caught five little wild boars from the mountains and raised them in the horse barn. I don’t know if they can feed them.”
“Yes, yes, Xiaolong. If we are not separated from you, then we are together." The sister-in-law of the Lu family nodded repeatedly, and then said in admiration, "Xiaolong is really promising. He can catch this wild boar. It's amazing! By the way, does Xiaolong have a partner?" br>
"I didn't ask." Liang Yuemei shook her head, "Xiaolong is old and has his own ideas. We can't get involved in this matter."
"I heard that he was talking to Xiaoxia of the Gu family?" Sister-in-law of the Lu family actually wanted to ask about this.
"Let them talk about young people's affairs themselves." Liang Yuemei neither admitted nor denied, "Isn't it about free love now?"
"That's true, but I heard After Gu Xiaoxia arrived at the commune middle school, many young male teachers and some commune cadres fell in love with her! "
The commune only changed to a township this year, so they both I'm not used to it, but it's still a commune. Not to mention now, even twenty or thirty years later, elderly people in some remote places are still accustomed to calling villages and towns communes.
"Really?" Liang Yuemei stopped what she was doing, then nodded, a little melancholy, "Yes, Xiaoxia is beautiful and educated. Now she has a formal job and eats commercial food. There must be many people who want to marry her, but they just don’t know..."
"Well, if you eat commercial grain, your status will be different. It's not easy for us country people to think about it." Sister-in-law Lu's meaning was obvious. Li Long shouldn't go after this tree. From now on, he will live in the city. How can I fall in love with a countryman like you?
It is better to find a well-matched person while you are young and get married.
Young people are getting married quite early these days, and almost everyone is ready to get married in their early twenties. There are almost no people in later generations who get married in their thirties or forties - if there are, they will be looked down upon in the village.
Old bachelors have a bad reputation.
Liang Yuemei is also a little melancholy, but it's really hard for her to talk about Li Long. Should she tell Li Long now that you and Gu Xiaoxia are not suitable, can you find someone else?
She naturally knew what Mrs. Lu was thinking, and she wanted to introduce a relative to Li Long, but Li Long obviously didn't have that in mind.
The two people were chatting when footsteps came from outside the hospital. The sound was light and fast. They both turned their heads and looked outside, and then a person they didn't expect appeared - Gu Xiaoxia.
Both of them blushed a little now. After all, the most embarrassing thing is to gossip about someone and that person happens to come over. Although they knew that the other party couldn't hear what they just said, they were still a little embarrassed.
"Auntie... Aunt Lu, you are here too." Gu Xiaoxia couldn't address her.
Because when this production team was established, there were only two or three local households, and the others came from all over the country. Gu Xiaoxia's father and Li Jianguo were both founders of the original production team, so they were considered equals. If you calculate it this way, Gu Xiaoxia should call Liang Yuemei aunt or aunt, depending on which side their family is related to the Li family.
But Li Long is Li Jianguo's younger brother. If that's the case, it would be difficult for Gu Xiaoxia to call Li Long, so now everyone in the team has their own opinions.
For example, Tao Daqiang calls Li Long "Brother Long", but Li Qiang calls Tao Daqiang Brother Daqiang. This thing is quite confusing.
But the people in the village didn't pay much attention to it. It was just a title in itself, and it was not related to any relatives. It was up to everyone's wishes. A very few of the more traditional ones will specifically correct them, but they can only correct their own, and it's hard to tell others.
So Gu Xiaoxia called Liang Yuemei "aunt" as she used to call her, but after calling her, she felt a little embarrassed. After all, although the matter between her and Gu Long didn't pierce the window paper, she felt that it was almost the same. .
"Xiaoxia is here," Liang Yuemei reacted and said with a smile, "Come on, come on, there are no classes today?"
"I don't have a class this morning." Gu Xiaoxia explained, and then handed over the cloth bag in her hand:
"Auntie, these are two pairs of shoes I took the time to make... It's not easy to have sex there. I can only make two pairs...”< br>
Sister-in-law Lu was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized:
“You want Xiaolong to be taken there by your father, right?”
The people from the sideline team went into the mountain to help with the work. Everyone in the village knows about this. The captain decided who to choose. Although the Lu family's sister-in-law was a little depressed that no one was going, she thought about the work on her own land, so that was it. Now when I hear Gu Xiaoxia say this, I feel that this is what happened.
"Well, one pair of these is for my dad, and the other pair is..." Gu Xiaoxia's voice suddenly became softer, and her face turned a little red, "It's for Li Long. I haven't seen him at school in the past two days. I don’t know when he will come back, so..."
Sister-in-law Lu was a little stunned!
Are you going to make shoes now?
Liang Yuemei reacted very quickly, pulling Gu Xiaoxia with a smile and saying:
"Come on, come on, let's go inside first and rest! I'll pour you some water! Stay a while, I'll cook for you... ...I haven’t been here for many days, let’s have a good chat...”
I don’t even know when the Lu family’s sister-in-law came home.
She still couldn't figure it out. Xiaoxia from the Gu family was already eating commercial food, so why did she take the initiative to find Xiaolong from the Li family?
The Li family's Xiaolong is excellent, but no matter how outstanding he is, he is still a countryman and a farmer.
To put it bluntly, in the village, some people think that second-rate guy Gu Ermao has a better future than Li Long.
Why did Gu Xiaoxia go back to the village when she clearly had a better future?
Liang Yuemei also had this idea, but she didn't care so much. Gu Xiaoxia thought of Li Long's kindness and would make shoes for Li Long. This in itself was an obvious hint. Do I need to say more about the rest?
So at noon, even though Gu Xiaoxia repeatedly said that she would have classes at school in the afternoon, Liang Yuemei still made rice early, mixed a cold dish, and fried two meat dishes to entertain her. Before leaving, He even asked her to carry a piece of bacon back.
Gu Xiaoxia actually let out a sigh of relief as she walked to school. Now, Li Long should know what he feels like, right? So, what will he do next?
Gu Xiaoxia felt a little uneasy again.
Li Long returned to the compound after shopping. After a short rest, he set up his bicycle and started loading it.
The flour is at the bottom, but don’t put too much, just one bag on each side. Next is the sack containing the radio. This bag cannot be tipped down. It must be tied upright with ropes. It cannot be loose or tilted. It is a hard work.
Li Long tied up the radio, then put the batteries, shoes and other items one by one into the bag, and hung them on both sides of the front handle of the car. Now it was a bit difficult to push them out. However, the 28 big bar was strong and durable. Li Long knew that as long as he pedaled on it and rode it for a few turns, he would be able to fly.
Li Long went to open the door, pushed the bicycle out, leaned against the wall and turned to lock the door, when two people in Chinese tunic suits came over, one on the left and one on the right. He was clamped, and the person on the left said seriously:
"We are an investment agency. You have committed a crime. Come with us!"
The Anti-Speculation Office is a relatively special organization created during this period. Its full name is the "Office of Combating Speculation." It has great power and has often taken people there for a long period of time.
As soon as Li Long heard this, he knew that he should be being targeted. He waved his hands hurriedly and said:
"Misunderstanding! I am not speculating. I have a letter of introduction here...I It's from the supply and marketing cooperative..."
"What letter of introduction do you, a country boy, have? Your production team allows you to do such a thing? Are you from the supply and marketing cooperative? Do you know where the door of the supply and marketing cooperative opens?" The person on the right sneered and said:
"Stop talking nonsense, just get on the bicycle and follow us! It seems that you are poaching the corner of socialism! Do you know that this is an economic crime? You will stay in the fence from now on!”
When Li Long heard that the other party even said something about poaching socialist corners, he knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he could only explain it after going to the office with them.
The office of the investment office is diagonally opposite the county committee, in a flat courtyard.
After bringing Li Long in, the young man who spoke behind was about to untie the things on the back of the bicycle. At this time, Li Long had already taken out his certificate and said:
"Comrade, I'm really a buyer from the supply and marketing cooperative. These things are sent to the mountains. Don't touch them!"
"Haha!" The young man didn't listen to his explanation at all and untied the rope roughly. Then he pulled off the bag containing the radio.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Li Long hurriedly stepped forward to hold the bag, and then said angrily:
"Can't you be more gentle? There is a radio in here! It costs tens of dollars to get it." Can you afford to pay for it if it’s broken?”
The young man didn’t expect to be scolded by Li Long, nor did he expect that there was a valuable radio inside. He was stunned for a moment, then glanced around and found several A colleague was looking at him, a little frustrated and annoyed. He was so ashamed that he said angrily:
"What's wrong if it's broken? Are you poaching the corners of socialism and speculating? I'm telling you! This is your evidence! These things must be confiscated! As for whether they are bad or not. Yes, that has nothing to do with you!”
“You still poach the socialist corner?” Li Long laughed angrily, “Have you not come out of that era? Now that we have reformed and opened up, wake up. Ah comrade!”
Now that he had broken his skin, Li Long knew that this was not a good thing, and he had no intention of settling the matter.
This low-level brat will definitely be difficult to deal with. If he doesn’t make things bigger, he will definitely suffer the consequences of being dumb!
Sure enough, when Li Long said this, the man's face turned red: "Are you looking for death? Let me tell you, you made a big deal today! A radio costs fifty yuan. ! For your level, I can give you a ten-year sentence!"
"You are really good! Do you want to be able to control the sky with your own hands?" Li Long didn't show any weakness, and he couldn't attract more leaders if he didn't speak loudly. "Which law stipulates that individuals can't buy more radios? Do you need to provide evidence for my speculation? "
The young man didn't expect Li Long to be so tough. The small traders and hawkers they had encountered in the past, as long as they were caught, were all obedient and obedient. They would pay the fine if asked to do so, and confiscate the items if they wanted to. They had never encountered such a thorn in their side!
The problem is that he is still in the yard and not in the office. If he wants to use his dirty tricks, he has to worry about the leaders diagonally opposite. The young man glanced around and saw Gu Ermao sneaking around at the door of the office. He immediately Daxi said:
“You, come here!”
He sneered and said to Li Long:
"The person who corrected you is here! Don't think that we don't know your details! You are just a farmer, how did you get the money to buy so many radios? What else could it be if it wasn't speculation?"
< br>Gu Ermao originally thought that he would file a complaint secretly, and report it so that Li Long would be in trouble. It would be better if he could be imprisoned for a few days, and he would be a stinker on the streets when he came out.
Unexpectedly, when the people here heard this, they didn't let him go at all. They took him directly to the investment office and asked him to testify!
Gu Ermao was blinded by this, but he couldn't walk away even if he wanted to. He wanted to hide, but the young man saw him.
But at this time, he had to bite the bullet and stand opposite Li Long.
"Tell me what you saw again!" The young man couldn't care less at this time and said loudly to Gu Ermao.
Gu Ermao cursed this young man to death in his heart.
But at this moment, he had to say that the arrow was on the string and it was no longer up to him to make the decision.
As soon as Gu Ermao said a few words, a middle-aged man came out from the other side of the office, frowned and asked:
"What's the noise? Don't you know what the impact is? It's so big Those who didn’t know the sound thought we were at a vegetable market!”
After saying that, he saw the two sides confronting each other in the yard, as well as the bicycle and the pile of things, and asked:
“Xiao Hu, what’s going on?”
Xiao Hu was the one who talked to Li Long at the beginning, and he didn't speak after entering the yard.
Xiao Hu told the story again, and the young man wanted to interrupt several times, but Xiao Hu spoke quickly and finished the sentence in one breath.
"You said you are a buyer from a supply and marketing cooperative?" After listening, the middle-aged man grasped the key point and asked Li Long.
"How could he be a buyer!" The young man who was confronting Li Long was unhappy when he heard it, pointed at Gu Ermao and said:
"They are from the same village. This man said, This Li Long is just a speculator who is not doing his job properly! He is lying!”
Li Long handed the certificate to the middle-aged man and said:
“This is the certificate. I am the buyer of our county supply and marketing cooperative. This time, the task assigned by our purchasing unit Li to the former unit leader requires a person from the mountain. "Thank you, these supplies I brought were sent to the mountains. If you don't believe it, you can call the supply and marketing cooperative to confirm."
After saying this, the young man was stunned for a moment.
Li Long didn’t say anything before!
That Gu Ermao swore that Li Long was a second-rate guy who didn’t do his job properly and had been speculating for almost half a year, but he didn’t say this!
After reading the certificate, the middle-aged man glanced at Li Long, then turned to take a deep look at the young man, then turned and went to the office.
Li Long guessed that he should have called.
