Chen Yi dared to say these words with a dark face and no expression, which immediately put those with ulterior motives in the audience to rest easy!
Some people fear authority more than morality; no matter how much you talk to them, it's no match for the authority of a single word from a police officer.
For example, the Liu couple, who were present, along with several other old bachelors who were also pregnant, wanted to use money to force young girls to marry them. If they didn't obey, they would lock them up and beat them. Sooner or later, they would lose their desire to subdue them.
After the meeting, they walked home dejectedly, and even a joke made to them would startle them like a frightened bird.
"Zhao Huajun, I heard you say the other day that you and Yin Laoliu from Yinjiatun have agreed that you'll give him 400 yuan as a bride price to marry his 16-year-old third daughter?"
The sound was quite loud, and the commune members carrying stools home all turned to look.
Zhao Huajun quickly stepped forward and covered the man's mouth with his rough hand. "My lord, the police haven't left yet! Are you trying to make me go in?"
Zhao Xiaojun's father, Zhao Suixin, was Zhao Huajun's uncle by seniority. Although they were about the same age, Zhao Suixin was his uncle. He stepped forward and scolded Zhao Huajun, "Didn't I tell you to give up this idea a few days ago? How come the whole village knows?"
This nephew of mine used to be poor and ugly, so he never found a wife. Now he's thirty-six and he wants to marry a sixteen-year-old girl!
With a dark expression, Zhao Suixin grabbed Zhao Huajun by the back of his collar and dragged him away.
......
A legal education conference inadvertently rescued many young girls who had been "sold" by their parents.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Li Xiangdong invited Wang Jianguo and the others to Lijiapo, and also wanted to discuss some other matters with him.
Lunch was eaten at the brigade headquarters, which had its own kitchen. Li Lan was in charge of cooking, with several aunties and older women helping out.
As the sounds of frying and stir-frying filled the air, oil splattered everywhere, and the aroma wafted far and wide.
Soon, plate after plate of stir-fried dishes were brought to the table.
There are dishes like Mu Shu Pork, Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce, Stir-fried Wild Boar with Fresh Mushrooms, Steamed Assorted Cured Meats, Stir-fried Bok Choy, Candied Sweet Potatoes, and White Fungus and Red Date Soup. Every dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
Especially since it's not cucumber season, it's rare to find so many fresh and tender cucumbers in Mu Shu Pork!
"Captain Li, where did you get these fresh shiitake mushrooms?"
Wang Jianguo keenly picked up a piece of shiitake mushroom. It was obvious that this was not a dried shiitake mushroom that had been soaked and then stir-fried.
And that huge bowl of white fungus and red date soup! Li Jiapo is really rich. You know, the price of dried white fungus is as high as sixty yuan per catty now!
How much is his monthly salary? It's only enough to buy a little over a pound of white fungus!
Li Jin said with a smile, "They were all taken from Grandma Xiangdong's house!"
Some things are still in the experimental stage, so there's no need to reveal everything.
Wang Jianguo knew that wild mushrooms and white fungus were abundant in western Sichuan. He smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth, crunching away. His mouth was filled with the refreshing aroma of cucumber.
Before Wang Jianguo could ask, Li Jin took the initiative to introduce, "Our brigade has built several vegetable greenhouses and is trying to grow off-season vegetables. These cucumbers are produced in the greenhouses."
Yu Wengang raised an eyebrow, "These off-season vegetables aren't cheap, are they?"
"Our production volume is still small. Right now, we mainly supply the Yanjing Department Store, and the price is about this much per kilogram!"
Li Jin held up one finger.
"One cent a pound?"
Sha Zhongxi asked, "In the summer, five catties of cucumbers cost one cent. Now, one catty costs about one cent, right?"
Li Jin shook his head, "One piece~"
Wow! So expensive!
For a moment, the room was filled with gasps of amazement.
"However, our costs are also high. We need a membrane and charcoal fire, so we don't make much money."
Regardless of what Li Jin said, Wang Jianguo was determined to visit the vegetable greenhouses in Lijiapo. If the whole county built vegetable greenhouses during the off-season, it would increase income considerably.
He was directly appointed as the county party secretary from the municipal party committee secretary position. He was more ambitious than others. During his tenure, how to make Huichuan County reach a higher level was not only a task assigned by Mayor Zhang, but also very important for his own future path.
After everyone had finished eating, each person served themselves a bowl of white fungus and red date soup and drank it slowly.
"Wow! It's so sweet!"
Sun Zhili said that the sweetness in this sweet soup is not the sweetness of white sugar or maltose, but a rich and flavorful honey sweetness.
Li Xiangdong added another bowl for him, saying, "It's honey from my maternal grandmother's house."
Sun Zhili laughed and said, "No wonder!"
After the meal, Li Jin led Wang Jianguo and his group to see the vegetable greenhouses.
On the ground west of Lijiapo, a dozen or so white greenhouses stand tall. Opening the small door, a humid and hot atmosphere immediately hits you, and what comes into view is a lush green that is completely different from the outside.
There were rows of fresh, tender scallions, plump chives, and cucumbers with their blossoms and thorns still attached. Clusters of green beans were hidden under broad leaves, and the tomatoes, green with a hint of red, hung in bunches, looking especially tempting.
Wang Jianguo carefully toured the greenhouse, first checking the growth of the vegetables, and then looking at the stove inside. The stove was burning brightly, which was key to maintaining the temperature in the greenhouse.
Liu Yuliang picked a bowl of cucumbers and tomatoes, washed them, and served them to everyone.
You can stay in this vegetable greenhouse for a short while, but if you stay there for too long, you'll feel suffocated.
After Wang Jianguo and his team came out of the greenhouse, they finalized the matter of establishing vegetable greenhouses in several impoverished villages in Lijiapo in a very short time.
Of course, Wang Jianguo readily agreed to Li Jiapo's request and immediately wrote a note and a coordination letter, asking Huichuan County Brick Kiln Factory and several other sand and gravel plants and cement plants to supply Li Jiapo with a sufficient quantity of building materials.
These materials aren't free; Li Jiapo still needs to purchase them at the normal price, but they don't have to queue, which saves a lot of time.
Soon, the "Detailed Rules for the Lijiapo New Residential Building Project" were officially released!
Few words, but a big deal.
Wang Zhenbo wrote his neat and tidy characters on bright red paper and posted them all on the bulletin board of the brigade headquarters.
People crowded in front of the notice board, regardless of whether they could read or not, all pushing forward to see what was written on it.
You know, building a new house, getting married, and having a son are the three most important things in a person's life!
Building a new house is a prerequisite for getting married and having a son!
"Accountant Wang! What does this say? Hurry up and read it to everyone!"
An old man squeezed to the front, but he couldn't read and shouted anxiously at Wang Zhenbo.
Everyone burst into good-natured laughter.
Wang Zhenbo also found it amusing. He raised his hands and pressed them down, saying, "Alright! Alright! Stop pushing! I'll read it to you!"
