The news that Captain Zhou and his two companions were visiting Zhao Wei's home quickly spread like wildfire.
Suddenly, there were a lot more children coming to their door.
These children usually don't come here to play, one reason being that it's cold and the cotton-padded jackets they wear can't keep them warm.
Secondly, this place is too desolate and there is nothing fun to do. The children like to gather together to play in a broken kiln. It used to be a small cave for firing bowls and pottery. Later, the owner of the kiln died and there was no one to inherit it, so it became abandoned.
It is windproof and has plenty of hay as a cushion. Children gather here in the winter and it is a pretty good playground.
At this time, these seven or eight children did not go to play in the cave, but were peeking at the door of Zhao Wei's house, causing Dahuang and Dahei to cry wildly there.
Zhao Wei did not drive them away forcefully, knowing that they were chased here by certain people and felt sorry for them.
So he took out a handful of candies from his pocket and gave one to each of them.
"Everyone, go back. The dog in my house is fierce, so don't get bitten."
As they were talking, they saw Da Huang rushing out majestically and standing beside Zhao Wei with his teeth bared.
It was tall and mighty in stature. The children took the candies and ran away in a panic.
Zhao Wei touched Dahuang's head as a reward for it.
This guy no longer needs to be tied up and has been trained to be very obedient.
Only Dahei is still like an incompetent and angry idiot, tied up in a corner with iron chains. Unless there are accidents in his life, he can only be a watching dog.
It's just like people, some people are always smarter and do better.
Some are stupid and can only suffer losses.
However, the home does need such a vicious big dog to look after it.
When he was not at home, the house was still visited by thieves.
This dog has a strong deterrent effect and can always scare away these villains.
After driving away the unimportant children, unexpectedly, some more people came to the path.
These are the team leaders of each production team. They rarely show their faces in normal times. The main reason is that Zhao Wei doesn't have the face to chat with such people.
But because Captain Zhou and his group were more prominent, they rushed over in a hurry.
Zhao Wei stood at the door of his house, not saying a word, but just kept stroking the dog's head to tell it to stop barking.
This call of its may easily offend people, and then when spring comes, their family may be bullied.
These production team leaders have great power and the villagers cannot afford to offend them.
The captain was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He said enthusiastically, "Zhao Wei, I heard that you have guests at home? Are they from the city?"
"Yeah, what does Captain One want to ask? Sorry, I can't tell you their identities. If you want to know, you can ask the president. He recommended them."
The president is old and will retire soon. Now he is a good guy in the village and basically doesn't make things difficult for anyone.
This is also the reason why Zhao Wei is willing to interact with the other party and deal with him from time to time.
As for these captains, he could only laugh...they were too arrogant and he couldn't reach their height.
Captain One was speechless after asking this question, and the anxious Captain Three interrupted.
"Ahem... We all heard that they are investigating a case. We just want to ask, who in our village committed a crime and brought these people here?"
In this day and age, who isn't afraid of such people? They're afraid that if they're not careful, they'll be labeled criminals, and everyone will want to punish them. From then on, their families won't be able to hold their heads up.
Zhao Wei said speechlessly: "Relax, they are wearing casual clothes, you know what casual clothes are, they are just ordinary people, just visiting relatives and friends, don't bring up interests in everything."
After he said this, the captains felt relieved, but they did not leave. Instead, they pulled Zhao Wei and continued to whisper in his ear.
"Zhao Wei, can you please help us introduce some of us to the people above us?"
"Don't worry, your hard work won't be in vain. When spring comes, your family's tasks will be assigned. You can be transferred to an easier group at that time. It's up to you to choose. What do you think?"
Zhao Wei sneered at this kind of pancake.
What can be given casually can also be taken back casually. He doesn't expect these people to keep their word.
In the past, their family was responsible for carrying manure, which was the dirtiest and most tiring job in the entire village.
Even a woman like Yunxiu originally didn't need to carry manure, but because the original owner was a useless drunkard, her grandmother's family didn't treat them well. Since they had little influence and no status, they bullied the people in their family because they were honest and would not resist.
This kind of work lasts for two years. Tsk tsk... It makes me angry just thinking about it.
Now these people come to him and beg for help with empty words. If he asks them to do something, how can he not give them some benefits?
"Ahem...Okay, I have no problem introducing you, but I've spent a lot of money to treat you to a banquet today. If you want to join me, you have to agree to one small request of mine."
These people had already smelled the meat in the yard and knew that what Zhao Wei said was true.
All those who attended their housewarming party gave them a thumbs up and praised the meal, saying that it was dozens of times more sumptuous than what they had during Chinese New Year.
Many people almost ate until their stomachs burst, and they even gave small gifts when they left, which is really rare in the countryside.
Even an ordinary banquet is prepared with such care, so it would be even better if we were to entertain the most powerful people.
