Chapter 2213 Brothers Meet
The place where Chu Qi jumped in was the Liujiagou Brigade under Jiajiaping Town. Several people drove out of the county and walked northwest, along the bumpy loess road, turning over It took almost an hour to reach the destination after crossing ditches and bumps.
It was a small, barren village. It was desolate as far as the eye could see, with rolling hills and criss-crossing ravines. There was very little green, and some were just patches of withered yellow.
“Tough Chinese people.”
As the car drove through the fields, Chu Heng looked at the villagers busy in the criss-crossing fields and couldn’t help but sigh.
The land here is very barren, but the people of Guanzhong have relied on perseverance and hard work to take root deeply on the Loess Plateau for thousands of years, thrive here, and create splendid and glorious histories one after another.
"In front is the second team with Chu Qi."
At this time, Lu Bin, who was driving in front, pointed to the corner of the small village not far away and said.
“He should be working at this time, right?” Chu Heng stared at the low earthen cave dwellings located on the gentle slope of a winding ravine.
“Not necessarily.” Lu Bin held the steering wheel tightly and drove carefully on the bumpy road. He said: “It is the slack time for farming, and there is not much work in the fields. Educated youths like them should not have to do it. Go to the ground.”
As he said that, he tilted his head and asked Chu Heng: "Should we go directly to the educated youth point to find someone, or should we go to the team headquarters first to meet him?"
"Go to the team headquarters first." Chu Heng thought about it. I thought, after all, they are coming to someone else's territory, so they have to say hello.
“Okay.”
Lu Bin nodded and continued driving, and soon entered the village. For this poor and backward small village, it was a big deal for a truck to come over. Don't tell me you have never seen this kind of car before, but at first glance, it looks like a good car.
A few boys who were having nothing to do at the entrance of the village saw the car entering the village, turned around and ran towards the village. After a while, the brigade secretary and several village cadres hurried over to greet it.
Soon the two parties met. Lu Bin stopped the car, opened the door and got out. He greeted with a smile: "Secretary Liu is too enthusiastic and came to pick me up personally."
"It's Director Lu." Secretary Liu, who is over fifty years old, is busy He walked forward in three steps and shook hands with him with a smile on his face: "Welcome to inspect the work."
"Well, I'm not here to inspect the work." Lu Bin turned around and pulled Chu over. Heng introduced: "This is My comrade-in-arms Comrade Chu Heng drove here specially from Sijiu City to visit his younger brother Chu Qi.”
Secretary Liu glanced at the car with the Beijing license plate and knew in his heart that this guy was not the one. Ordinary people quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Oh, it turns out it's the leader from Sijiu City. Hello, thank you for delivering a good, down-to-earth and hard-working soldier like Comrade Chu Qi to our village."
" …”
Looking at the serious expression of the old man in front of him, if Chu Heng hadn't learned about Chu Qi's behavior from Lu Bin yesterday, he would have believed it.
At this time, it was natural to understand that the other party was being polite for the sake of the approaching car and Lu Bin. He smiled and said: "Hello, Secretary Liu, I have also heard about my brother. Thank you for causing trouble to you during this time. Your care and tolerance for him."
"Haha, it's not troublesome. Although Chu Qi, a junior, often makes small mistakes, his flaws are not hidden. His character is still good and he can't help the team. Don't be too busy," Secretary Liu said sincerely.
“That’s good.” Chu Heng smiled upon hearing this.
Then they exchanged some pleasantries. Secretary Liu patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, we are still chatting here. Comrade Chu Heng must really want to see Comrade Chu Qi now. Let's go." Come on, let’s go over there right now. Those educated youths happen to have nothing to do today, so they should all be at the educated youth spot.”
"Get in the car, Secretary Liu, let's drive there." Chu Heng invited with a smile.
"Okay, okay."
Secretary Liu looked at the car next to him, which seemed a bit luxurious to him. He patted the dust on his butt with restraint and excitement, and stamped his feet vigorously. , to prevent the sheep dung stuck to the soles of his feet from being carried into the car, before he stepped forward and got into the back seat.
Before closing the car door, he suddenly turned around and said to the accountant of the brigade: "Lao Li, you go to the brigade to collect some money, go to the town to buy things and send them to my home, and ask my aunt to cook some good dishes for lunch. Let's go back to eat with Director Lu and the others."
"Oh." The accountant nodded. Chu Heng hurriedly declined and said: "I won't bother the brigade, Secretary Liu, let's come and sit for a while and then leave."
"Yes, yes, you have come all the way from Sijiu City. Our brigade must show its loyalty to the landlords. Just listen to me." Secretary Liu grabbed Chu Heng. He got in the car and waved to the accountant, asking him to go and do it quickly.
Chu Heng originally wanted to take Chu Qi back to the county town for a restaurant, but seeing the warm welcome, he could only nod his head and say, "Thank you, Secretary Liu."
"You're welcome. Chu Qi is an educated youth here, and you are one of our own, so why are you so polite?" Secretary Liu said cheerfully.
"Yes, we are all our own people, so don't be polite. We will eat at Secretary Liu's house today." Lu Bin agreed with a smile, started the car and set off quickly.
The educated youth spot is in the village, not too far away. The few of them chatted for a few words in the car and arrived at the place in a blink of an eye.
"Is that a fight?"
The car turned a corner, and several people in the car saw five or six people fighting like gourds outside the cave dwelling of the educated youth spot. A ball, setting off bursts of dust and smoke.
Chu Heng took a look at those people and narrowed his eyes slightly. He found that one of them was Chu Qi. Fortunately, he was not at a disadvantage. He was riding on one of them and slapping his mouth.
“Why are we fighting again!”
Secretary Liu's face suddenly turned livid. When the car came to a stop, he immediately opened the door and got out. He shouted loudly: "What are you doing to these idiots! What are you doing! Get up!"
Seeing that the secretary arrived in person, and a small car that looked like a big leader's car came, the people who were rolling on the ground quickly let go of each other and stood up.
The fastest one was Chu Qi. When he saw the car and the brand, he couldn't help but get excited. He jumped up from the ground and ran up happily, looking at Chu Qi who got off the car. Heng, it’s been almost a year since his birth. His eye circles turned red instantly. He opened his arms and hugged him, saying: "Brother, why are you here?"
"It's not your kid who did it." Chu Heng looked at him with a smile, and darkened, She has lost weight, but the childish look on her face is much less, and she looks much more mature.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the dirt on his brother's head, looked at the bruise on his eyebrow and asked, "Why are we fighting?"
"These bastards are acting like hooligans!" Chu Qi's face suddenly filled with anger, he pointed at the three young men standing together and cursed: "They come over every once in a while to harass our female educated youths, how many times have we beaten them! ”
“Oh? ”
Chu Heng looked sideways, his face as calm as water.
The three of them saw that he was dressed in sleek clothes and came in a car. They knew it was not simple, and they suddenly panicked. One of them hurriedly defended: "We didn't, we came to them to accept poverty." A lower-middle peasant education!"
"Take your grandma, did you just say that you wanted Ji Xuemei to be your aunt and give you a baby?" Chu Qi scolded.
"Yes, I prove that he did say it." A female educated youth immediately stood up.
"I, I, I..." The young man was suddenly speechless and secretly looked at Secretary Liu.
“A few melon rinds!” Secretary Liu stepped forward and kicked them with a black face, and scolded: “See how I deal with you guys later, why don’t you get out!”
Then he assured Chu Heng and the others: "Director Lu, Comrade Chu, don't worry, I will teach them a lesson."
This move has a very obvious meaning of protection.
Chu Qi also said that they had not done this once or twice. Secretary Liu had already cleaned up the matter, so why wait until now?
So it means that the thunder is louder and the raindrops are lighter. I guess after Chu Heng and the others left, they would be over the top with a few words of reprimand, not even a rebuke. After all, he would definitely favor his own people among the fellow villagers. of.
