Chapter 766: An unexpected hit
Sun Wufu was accompanied by his brother Sun Sixi, and the visit time was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
There is really nothing to do in the countryside in winter, not to mention it’s New Year’s Eve.
So Sun Qingyou, the former brigade secretary and now the village secretary, had finished breakfast and was leaning on the quilt on the kang using a "small speaker" to listen to "Wild Boar Forest" by Hebei Bangzi.
He squinted his eyes, holding a half-burned "cannon" in one hand, and holding a sorghum stalk in the other, picking the tendons of the cabbage sticks stuck between his teeth.
He shook his head and hummed, his black cotton clothes covered with soot.
Secretary Sun’s wife was standing in the courtyard, grabbing chicken food mixed with cabbage heads and bran from the chicken food scoop, and throwing it to the ground to feed the chickens.
From time to time, chicken crows like "gu~gu~gugu, gu~gu~gugu" came out from the mouth.
Sun Wufu’s hometown is very poor, and the land is sparse and thin. The whole village does not get much harvest from farming.
Because of its remoteness, information and transportation are very backward. It was only last year that electricity was installed and light bulbs were used.
The key is because of this, whether it is land allocation or chicken raising, Sunjia Village lags behind other villages.
However, in recent years, the country has vigorously developed large-scale chicken farms, and the price of eggs is no longer as good as it was in the past two years.
So even if we catch up with the good era of reform and opening up and the country tries its best to liberalize policies in rural areas, the economic situation of Sunjia Village will not be much better than in the past. At most, it can only have enough to eat.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the street door of the village secretary’s house is made of straw.
After entering, there is a half-meter-high movable wooden fence across the door to keep out pigs. There are only two pigs inside.
To be honest, after staying in the capital for a long time, Sun Wufu's horizons have also broadened.
When I walked here, I really couldn’t believe that the home of the head of a village was still so shabby.
I couldn’t help but blurt it out. "Brother, are we on the right track?"
Sun Sixi patted her chest as a guarantee.
“Brother, it’s right here, that’s right.”
At this time, Secretary Sun's wife had already heard the commotion outside. She couldn't help but stretched her head, looked outside, and asked rudely.
"Who is it? What are you doing wandering around in front of my house? Why do you want to steal my chicken?"
Sun Wufu didn't answer, but Sun Sixi first called out timidly, "Aunt Fatty." ", and then said, "It's me, Si Xi, and my brother Wu Fu."
After calling the person, without waiting for a greeting, he consciously walked in with the gift.
As if sending a pig's head into the temple to worship the gods, he quickly raised the things in his hand towards Secretary Sun's wife.
Then he asked a little tremblingly, "Is the secretary at home? My brother came to see him."
Secretary Sun's wife is called "Fat Aunt" in the village.
He does live up to his name, with a fat face full of flesh, a muscular figure, and a temperament and temper that are notoriously unkind in the village. It’s no wonder that Sun Sixi has a bit of a liver tremor.
But as the old saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face, let alone someone with a smiling face who comes to give gifts.
Secretary Sun’s wife looked up and down at the two brothers with her shining triangular eyes.
I saw Sun Sixi holding a large piece of pork in her left hand, which looked like it weighed seven to eight pounds.
There is also a pair of pig's trotters and four tin cans in the right hand.
This is a rare and generous gift, more generous than anyone who has come to pay New Year greetings in previous years.
So she showed a rare smile.
Looking at the other one, he was holding a large package of beautifully packaged pastries and a large piece of cloth under his arm.
The key is to dress quite brightly. The cotton coat is brand new. Not only does he have a shearling hat on his head, but he also wears a pair of leather shoes under his feet.
They are dressed just like the cadres in the county and township.
Now she couldn't figure out the situation. Not to mention that she didn't dare to stop him, she quickly went up to take the things from Sun Wufu's hand and went into the house to let others go.
At the same time, he turned and shouted into the house, "Master, we have a visitor."
Secretary Sun has high prestige and style in the village, certainly more so than Fat Auntie It's scary.
When there is a general meeting in the village, only Secretary Sun can wear a cotton-padded jacket and speak on the stage. No one else dares, for fear of stealing the limelight from the Secretary. Even in the village, if someone is walking on the street wearing a cotton-padded jacket and sees him from a distance, he must put on his sleeves obediently.
In front of Secretary Sun, no one can even think about walking on their shoulders!
In the village, no matter whose family quarreled with whose old lady, whose dog stole the pig food of whose family.
No matter how serious the dispute between the two parties is, as long as Secretary Sun comes there with drooped eyelids and yells, "Stop fucking blindly!" then there will be no one who refuses to obey, and everyone will have to stop and behave. go home.
However, this time, when Sun Wufu walked in empty-handed and stood in front of Secretary Sun, Secretary Sun was unsure.
At that time, his eyes widened, and he couldn't tell who the person was. Sun Wufu's appearance made Secretary Sun think that he was not an ordinary person, and he was a little flustered.
He hurriedly threw the cigarette butt to the ground, raised his buttocks with both hands and was about to get off the kang.
At this moment, Sun Sixi, who had brought the meat into the kitchen, also walked in.
Sun Sixi smiled a little timidly, then nodded and bowed and called "Secretary".
Then he glanced at Sun Wufu, and then introduced him to Secretary Sun, "This is my brother, Wufu. He went home to celebrate the New Year this year, and I made a special trip to see you."
Secretary Sun frowned and thought for a moment, and then guessed their purpose.
So he moved back to his original position and continued to droop his eyelids.
At this time, his wife, the fat aunt, walked in, holding a tea kettle in one hand and two teacups in the other, smiling and about to speak.
But Secretary Sun shouted angrily first.
“Why didn’t you hear the dog barking?”
The fat aunt was stunned on the spot. She touched the ground under her feet and agreed without knowing why.
"Really? Why didn't you scream?"
Secretary Sun was still angry.
“Damn, if a dog doesn’t take good care of his house, why should he go to someone else’s house and ask him to lock it up? It’s a useless thing. I won’t skin this beast when I look back.”< br>
The fat aunt now understood what was going on and knew that the visitor was an uninvited guest. The tea was not poured, so she turned around and walked out the door.
Sun Sixi is also an honest person and feels very embarrassed in such situations.
He looked at Sun Wufu with a sad expression, not knowing what to do at all.
It should be said that Sun Wufu has really experienced it.
He had expected this kind of impasse, so he crept forward a few steps, took out an electronic watch from his pocket, and placed it on the Kang table.
"Secretary, I have been away for several years. Over the years, I have relied on you to take care of my family. As the old saying goes, never forget the man who dug the well. When I come back from the capital this time, the thing I am most worried about is I would like to thank you personally. Unfortunately, the road is difficult and I can’t carry anything heavy, so I brought you some cakes from Beijing to try out, and got some fabrics from Beijing to make some clothes for my aunt. This gadget is for my eldest brother. Young people can use it to relieve their boredom.”
Secretary Sun never expected that Sun Wufu, who had been unable to kick him in the past, would say such beautiful words, and he was greatly surprised.
He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the Kang table, and couldn't help but be startled again.
Because what was displayed above was actually a rare thing that he had never seen before.
It looks shiny and high-end, and the pure metal case is particularly delicate.
It is rare for rural people in this era to see such high-end electronic products.
So he sat up and said, "Come on, what else can you get?"
He couldn't help but reach out and pick up the electronic watch, and turned it upside down to look at it very rarely.
The smooth texture of pure metal made him feel comfortable to touch. The electronic numbers displayed on the LCD screen made him even more confused.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, I still didn’t understand what it was.
Sun Sixi also got a piece from her younger brother yesterday and has been playing with it all night.
Seeing the secretary dog looking at the bright stars, he didn't find it funny, so he couldn't help but show off.
"Secretary, this is a Japanese-made electronic watch. It is very fashionable in the capital now, and it is especially difficult to buy. The numbers on the watch can be clearly seen, and you can know the time, minutes, and seconds. And it has been there year after year. The month and day can be displayed. It is much better than looking at a clock or a mechanical watch.”
Hearing what he said, Secretary Sun tightened his grip and moved closer to himself. Move it, as if you are afraid that others will snatch it away.
Then I felt that I had lost my identity, so I rolled my eyes at Sun Sixi and said, "You understand, right?"
Sun Wufu also glared at Sun Sixi, a little resentful of his brother's talkativeness.
But at this time, he also understood that it was time to stand up for himself, so he slowly sat down
Although he only dared to lean his buttocks against the edge of the wooden kang, Trying to be as casual as possible, he said, "Hi, Secretary, to tell you the truth, I came today to see how you are doing, and secondly, I have something I want to trouble you about."
Secretary Sun knew that he was coming to see you. Yes, he weighed the things in his hands, and his gloomy face became a little brighter.
“Don’t say it’s useless. I know why you came here. Isn’t it because you beat someone up in the first place?”
As he spoke, he leaned against the quilt behind him and said in a long tone.
"This matter is not easy to handle! You ran away at first, but the impact of this matter is bad, and you are registered with it. The person who was beaten is not unyielding, but he always thinks about it. I want to bring you to justice. Besides, I am not the only one who has the final say in the village.”
When Sun Wufu saw him, he thought to himself, “What kind of grandson are you pretending to be here with me?” Who in this village doesn’t know that you are the leader?
You old thing, you have collected so many things from me, but you are still not satisfied and want to rip me off, right?
But he showed a calm face, because he still had a backup plan.
"Secretary, you misunderstood. I'm actually looking for you to ask you to issue a certificate so that I can go to the village to apply for an ID card. There's nothing else."
He didn't care whether Secretary Sun was there or not. came to mind.
"Huh? You came here just to ask me to issue a certificate and go to the village to apply for an ID card? Are you confused, and you still want to send it to your door yourself? Aren't you afraid that people will sue the village and let you get it? Did the police station arrest you for a lawsuit? "
"Hey, you don't understand the case. Why did you arrest me at that time? There were so many things in chaos at that time. Now we have to overturn and redefine it, not to mention that beating people can’t be done with a slap, and it’s not clear which one is right and which one is wrong. Think about it, we are both from our village, and we both do it. He didn't suffer any serious injuries. What does it matter today? It's just a feud between neighbors. How can we get a lawsuit? I was so confused that I didn't know how to answer the call.
But it wasn't over yet. Immediately afterwards, Sun Wufu took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and placed it on the kang table.
"Besides, I am an organized person now. Even if we really want to file a lawsuit, the villagers have to ask the leaders of my unit first. Secretary, please take a look. This is my letter of introduction. , is it okay?”
The bright red seal!
The Temple of Heaven Park is even more famous all over the world!
Secretary Sun was really shocked when he opened Sun Wufu's letter of introduction and carefully identified his origin from the handwriting.
It was like holding a red-headed document, and my hands were trembling.
"What, this... is this the Temple of Heaven in Beijing? In the past, the county's projection team came to our village to show "News Briefing", and there was... the one with the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests? The one with whom many big leaders went to enjoy the flowers?”
Seeing how excited he was, Sun Wufu was extremely satisfied with the power of this letter of introduction.
"Yes, the secretary is knowledgeable. It is the Temple of Heaven, the place where the emperor used to worship heaven. But now our big leaders don't go there much, they all stay in Zhongnanhai. There are a lot more foreign tourists. I took pictures of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Echo Wall. To be honest, I live in the Zhai Palace in the Temple of Heaven, which is where the emperor used to live. You always want to come to the capital someday and want to visit the Temple of Heaven. You must look for me, I'm here, you don't have to spend money, you can go shopping as you like."
Hearing this, Secretary Sun was even more moved and really lost his temper.
But he didn't want others to notice, so he lowered his head and touched the cigarette basket under the kang table.
When Sun Sixi saw him, he quickly took out a box of "Da Jianshe" brand cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out one and handed it to the secretary.
Secretary Sun was very disdainful. He climbed down from the kang and walked to the big cabinet opposite the kang with his two shoes.
Then he took out an open box of "Evergrande" brand cigarettes from behind the frame hanging the portrait of the great leader on the wall above the big cabinet.
He leaned back on the kang, deliberately pretending not to care, took out a cigarette, threw it into the arms of the two Sun brothers, and smoked one each.
When Sun Wufu hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the cigarette from his arms, he was covered in smoke and one-third of the cigarette was empty.
He was holding a cigarette that made a rattling sound in both hands, scratching his head a little.
This cigarette is so bad, how can I smoke it?
When he turned around, he saw that his brother Sun Sixi had an idea.
Twist the empty end to a point, then tap it, put it sideways to your mouth, lick it from beginning to end with the tip of your tongue, and then light it up.
He was just about to imitate something, but he didn't expect that Sun Sixi lit up the fire and inhaled, licking the saliva, but the other side was not covered, and the other side of the penis was half-burned.
Sun Wufu immediately gave up the idea of imitating him, he was so cursed in his heart!
What the hell is breaking cigarettes, and you still have to entertain guests!
But I cursed in my heart, and I had to show off on the surface, pretending to be grateful.
He also had to say that this cigarette was really good, the brand was loud, and he had to save it for later.
Then he quickly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, pinched out one, and then handed the entire cigarette box to Secretary Sun.
“Try this, it’s worse than your Evergrande one.”
Secretary Sun also pretended to smoke, holding a stand and smoking.
When he held the end of the cigarette and put it to his mouth, he was about to lick it, but hesitated and pinched it a little harder.
Seeing that the cigarette butt was flat and knowing that the cigarette was not dry, he inserted the other end into his lips and held it in his mouth.
Sun Si was delighted to see this scene and hurriedly showed his courtesy. He took out a match from his pocket, struck it, held it in a semicircle with both hands and bent down to light it for Secretary Sun.
Secretary Sun held a cigarette in his mouth and said "hmm" twice, which was considered a thank you.
Then Xu squinted at the cigarette box and asked Sun Wufu, "Is this your unit's internal cigarette? Well, it's really good and strong."
The cigarette Sun Wufu gave him was A box of Temple of Heaven cigars.
It is sold in Beijing for RMB 20 per box. It is commonly known as "big black smoke" and has always been the favorite of old smokers in Beijing.
How strong is this smoke? It’s hard to describe specifically.
Anyway, when the cigarette is lit, it can make people feel like the clouds are puffing out and the smoke is turning yellow.
If there are three people smoking this kind of cigarette in a room, it will be basically invisible.
The effect is similar to having a stove in the house and burning wet wood.
To be honest, Sun Wufu actually has better cigarettes in his pocket. A box of big front door cigarettes costs 50 cents a box.
This was a trick he had learned from collecting used goods all year round. With two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, he smoked the Temple of Heaven himself and gave way to the front door for others.
Originally, he wanted to take it out and smoke it for Secretary Sun.
But then I thought, no, what Secretary Sun took out was Evergrande, and he did it like that.
I want to open the front door. Isn’t it obvious that Secretary Gaisun is on the other side?
So he temporarily changed the regulations and took out the Temple of Heaven that he drew.
But I didn't expect that Secretary Sun, who was used to smoking shredded tobacco, was really satisfied with the taste of Temple of Heaven.
And he seems to be self-righteous and regards this as a special cigarette for the Temple of Heaven Park, which adds a little more importance to Sun Wufu.
This can not but be said to be a small stroke of luck.
