C197 Village Head Gao You Are so Nice

When he received the phone call from his son's homeroom teacher, Gao Yeyong was in the cold wind, accompanied by the village director Li Manrong, inspecting the precise poverty alleviation situation in Fan Jia Du Village.

From 2004 to 2012, the party and the country had published the central document with the theme of "Agriculture, Agriculture, and Farmers" for nine consecutive years, emphasizing the "importance" of "Agriculture, Agriculture, and Farmers. " It emphasized the importance of Agriculture during the modern era of China.

It was almost the New Year, so the people in the villages who lived in poverty were given some rice, oil, salt, and clothes to express their condolences. The care and concern of the party and the country had been sent to every village in a timely manner. It had become a common practice among the villages at the end of the year.

In the Fan household, Gao Yeyong and the others paid their condolences to the poor villagers and walked into Li Manrong's house along the way to visit the old secretary, Li Jizhen. His heart was filled with deep admiration for this old secretary, who was over eighty years old and still had a healthy body.

At the beginning of this year, not long after he came to Mei Beach Village, he heard that this old secretary had a rather legendary experience. In particular, he was not afraid of difficulties. He had overcome all kinds of difficulties and led the crowd to build the Hui Min canal. His deeds had touched Gao Yong even more.

Later, his third son, Li Manrong, defeated Fan Wenbin's younger brother, Fan Wengong, and became the director of the Fan family's new village committee. In this way, he naturally recognized Li Jizhen. At the same time, as time passed, at the end of the year, the two of them actually became friends who forgot everything.

"Old Secretary, I've come to visit you. " As soon as he entered, Gao Yiyong shouted happily. He held Li Jizhen's rough big hand tightly and said with a loud laugh, "Old Secretary, your face is red. Compared to last time, you're living more and more energetically. "

Ever since the two of them had known each other, every time Gao Yiyong came to the Fan family for inspection and guidance, he would be busy and take some time to visit this legendary old man. He felt that he had gained a lot after talking to him for one or two hours.

Li Jizhen also held Gao Yiyong's hand tightly, and his face was filled with a sincere smile that came from the depths of his heart. He said loudly with a smile, "Life is so good now. I want to live to be a hundred years old and enjoy life more. It will depend on whether the heavens agree or not. "

After sitting down, he impatiently asked, "Village Chief Gao, Liu Huaigui's house. I wonder if you have gone? Did you also send him some New Year's food oil?" Then, he said with a sigh, "Liu Huaigui is a person who has made contributions, and he is also the poorest and most pitiful person in the Fan Family. "

"He has gone. He has already been there. He is the first one to go to the Liu family. " Without waiting for Gao Yiyong to speak, Li Manrong said loudly, "Not only did Village Chief Gao go, he also gave Liu Huaigui a bag of flour and 20 catties of oil. He also personally gave Liu Huaigui 500 yuan of consolation money to let him have a sumptuous good year. "

In recent years, his father's body did not have any major problems. He could eat, drink, and sleep, but his ears were not good enough, and his hearing was getting weaker and weaker. If his voice was slightly lower, he would not be able to hear anything clearly. Sometimes, even the sound of dogs barking could not be heard.

Seeing that Li Jizhen had listened to his son and nodded with a satisfied smile, Gao Yiyong also smiled and said, "Old Secretary, don't worry. I have always remembered Liu Huaigui as the key target of poverty alleviation in the countryside and the village. Just now, as soon as I entered the village, I was the first to go to his house.

Liu Huaigui is the poorest family in the Fan family. His age is similar to Li Jizhen. Because his legs were injured when he was young, it was very inconvenient for him to move. His wife has been sick for ten years and has died. His only son, Liu Chen, was also suffering from a very serious epilepsy. The natives of Daan were called "Crazy Lamb. " They were in their fifties. He didn't have a wife either. He was single. Normally, Father and son relied on each other for their lives, and it was extremely difficult for them to live.

Seeing that the village chief had already gone to Liu Huaigui's house, not only did he give rice noodles and other daily necessities, but he also gave money for the New Year, Li Jizhen was very satisfied and happy. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and say with a smile, "Good job, good job. You should do this. "

In his distant and clear memory, the reason why Liu Huaigui's legs were unable to move was not because he was born like this. It was because when he was building the Huimin canal, he had suffered serious injuries in order to protect the property of the production team. Speaking of this matter, even though decades had passed, Li Jizhen still felt sorry in his heart. He felt very sorry for Liu Huaigui.

He remembered very clearly that. . . It was a winter that was very similar to today's weather. The sun shined warmly on the riverbank, and the Yellow River's water also slowly flowed east. Dozens of red flags were inserted into the soil on the trees, fluttering in the wind.

A very popular song was played in the loudspeaker, creating an exciting atmosphere. Countless people gathered together and shouted slogans. They were taking advantage of the winter farming season to build a canal that benefited many villages on both sides of the Yellow River.

Since ancient times, both sides of the Yellow River were filled with villages of various sizes. They were scattered everywhere, and the population was very dense. However, there was always a lack of water to eat. In order to change this awkward situation of relying on the Yellow River to eat without water, under the suggestion of the Fan Family's Crossing Team's secretary, Li Jizhen, Having received unanimous approval from the surrounding villagers, he made his own move. . . He would build a canal that fundamentally solved the problem of drinking water for humans and animals.

This was a very difficult and time-consuming project, starting from that very cold winter. The construction was intermittent and never stopped. As long as the farm was idle. . . Everyone would go to work together, using all the power that could be used. After two years of day and night, Li Jizhen named it "Hui Min canal. "

In this winter, in order to speed up the progress, He strived to complete the main project before the heavy snow arrived. Not only did Li Jizhen give a death order, but. . . He ate and lived on the construction site, supervising the masses to work day and night. At the same time, He also established a commando team led by Liu Huaigui to drive the horse carriage. They transported the stones from the big red ditch that was more than twenty miles away from the riverbank.

At that time, Liu Huaigui was only 30 years old. It was precisely the age where a man's strength was the strongest. Ever since he became the captain of the assault team, he felt a sense of pride and holiness in the depths of his heart. He also felt that the burden on his shoulders had become even heavier. He commanded dozens of horse carriages of various sizes, carrying rocks day and night, facing the cold wind and the stars and moon.

The red ditch was a very deep ravine that was deep, long, and winding. It was more than ten kilometers long, and it was also a very ancient and mysterious ravine. According to legends, before the liberation, there was still a group of bandits hidden here. There weren't many of them, but they were extremely cunning and savage. After the liberation, they were all wiped out, not a single one left.

This was also the place where the Fan family's ancestors were buried. Four or five miles away from the Fan Clan's old camp, there was a stone mountain that was full of green boulders. It was the best material to build a canal. Liu Huaigui commanded the horse carriages to transport the stones they had collected to the construction site.

On this day, the weather was still gloomy in the morning. It looked like it was going to snow. However, at noon, It gradually cleared up and there was no wind. The sunlight lazily illuminated the entire ravine, and there was even a trace of warmth. It dispelled the worry in Liu Huaigui's heart. Taking advantage of the good weather, he could pull a few more stones. Prepare more stones to avoid delaying the construction progress.

Thus, he shouted at Fan Zhengkun, who was chopping stones halfway up the mountain, "Old Fan, the carriage is coming soon. Hurry up and chop more. " Seeing that Fan Zhengkun only cared about working and did not reply, he shouted angrily, "If we delay the work period, I will have a meeting to criticize you, you old bastard. "

When the construction of the canal had just begun, Fan Zhengkun and a few other "Type 4" members were sent by Li Jizhen to the Red Groove to collect stones. He said that he wanted to modify these people and let them taste the taste of labor. At the same time, he also reminded Liu Huaigui privately to pay attention to Fan Zhengkun's words and actions at all times.

This time, Fan Zhengkun heard Liu Huaigui's words clearly. He turned around, faced the bright sunlight, and stared at the other party coldly for a moment. He said solemnly, "Don't worry, Captain Liu. We can't delay the work. If it is delayed, you can criticize me. I am convinced too. " After he said that, he snorted heavily from his nostrils.

"What a stubborn person who will never change his mind. Back then. . . I should have shot you to death. " Liu Huaigui cursed angrily and thought, You, Fan Zhengkun, still think that this is an old society. You are still riding on the heads of others to tyrannically bully others. You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong! Don't even open your eyes to take a look, it's a new society now. We poor peasants have turned over our heads and become the owners.

At this time, the sound of a bell was clearly heard. Immediately after, a long line of horse carriages arrived at the foot of the mountain. At that time, not to mention the Fan Family, even the Mei Beach Club didn't have a hand-guided tractor. For example, the rams, the dung, and so on all depended on the carriage.

These ten or so carriages were the most important collective wealth of the Fan Family. Every person who drove the carriage was the driver, and Li Jizhen would personally appoint them. It could be said that in his eyes, loving the carriage was better than loving his family and himself.

Under the warm sunlight and the deep red ditch, a group of strong men, although dressed in shabby clothes, put the green stones into the carriage with great effort. Then, they waved the long whip and drove the carriage proudly to the construction site more than twenty miles away to build a canal.

At that time, in the society of China, they were a group of peasants with the lowest social status. They were also a group of poor people who lived a materialistic life, but. . . However, they continued to work tirelessly with the heaviest physical labor, using their own hands and wisdom. Building a water irrigation project that still benefited a lot of people on both sides of the Yellow River was a miracle.

Just as the last carriage was being loaded, the Yuan Horse suddenly let out a terrified neigh. It pulled the carriage and ran forward. This sudden change of events. . . It stunned everyone. For a moment. . . No one could react. Even Fan Zhengkun. . . Just like everyone else, he could only watch as Yuan Ma dragged the car. Running desperately in the wilderness.

It was only when a shrill and terrifying wolf howl sounded that everyone understood. But it was already too late. Two wild wolves jumped out of the invisible grass and quickly pounced on Yuan Ma who was running in terror. They opened their bloody mouths and tightly bit the back legs of Yuan Ma from both sides. They pushed him to the ground and crazily bit him.

At this time, a world-shaking roar sounded by their ears. Following that, a figure leaped up and rushed in front of the wild wolf like lightning. He waved his horse whip, and suddenly, he went up and down, then left and right. He fiercely whipped the wild wolf. It was not until he ran away and used all his strength to support the injured Yuan Ma that everyone saw clearly that it was Liu Huaigui.

The moment the horse stood up, it suddenly fell down from the pain. The horse carriage, which was loaded with stones, also fell down. It pressed tightly on Liu Huaigui's body. When everyone rushed over and hurriedly moved the carriage away, Liu Huaigui could no longer stand up.

Just like that, In this sudden accident, in order to protect the collective property, the assault captain Liu Huaigui's legs were seriously injured. Half a year later, Liu Huaigui returned from the county hospital to the Fan household. For the rest of his life, he could only live on a two-way street.

From that time on, Liu Huaigui's family's life would be taken care of by the production team. Later, the contractual production came and the production team was disbanded. Everyone was busy with their own lives. Because of his age, Li Jizhen retired from his position as the secretary of the regiment. However, his concern for Liu Huaigui's family was the same as before. He felt that he was very sorry for Liu Huaigui.

At the beginning of this year, after his son Li Manrong was elected as the director of the village committee, Li Jizhen had seriously exhorted his son many times to do his best to take care of Liu Huaigui and his son. He must not let the father and son suffer because of poverty and illness. Li Manrong was also very attentive and reported this matter to Gao Yiyong. He made Liu Huaigui's family a "five-insurance family" and enjoyed the care of the national policy.

At this time, seeing that the village sent rice and money to the village and took care of Liu Huaigui and his son very well, Li Jizhen was very satisfied. He smiled and said a meaningful sentence from the bottom of his heart, "Village Chief Gao, you are really good. If all the officials were like you, that would be great. "

This sentence was said many years after Li Jizhen's death. At that time, Gao Yiyong retired as well. However, whenever he thought about it, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed by emotions and sigh for a long time. However, at that moment, he only smiled modestly and casually said it. He said, "That's what I should do. "

Seeing that his father was in good spirits, Li Manrong did not miss the opportunity to ask, "Dad, Village Chief Gao loves listening to you talk about the past. Today, can you tell me more about our Li family and the Fan family, especially the story between you and Fan Zhengkun?
