The population mobility is low these days, and the commune does not have a guesthouse.
Song Desheng originally wanted to stay with his eldest sister Song Hongxia for one night, but after hesitating for a while he decided not to go. The main reason was that he was afraid that his father would come to his eldest sister's house and make him lose face in the commune.
"Let's go stay at the commune office."
Song Desheng sighed and walked towards the commune.
It was completely dark by now and the commune had already gone off work, but there were two militiamen on duty, with a very dim light on.
Seeing a man and a woman approaching, the two militiamen quickly stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"
Song Desheng took out his ID.
He was in the provincial capital, still called Song Duo, and was an employee of the provincial capital food factory. The document clearly stated this, and also stated that he went to the countryside to visit his relatives.
He said, "We came from the provincial capital to visit relatives. After we arrived in the countryside, we found that no one was at our relatives' house. We had no choice but to return to the city, but the bus back to the county town was gone, and we didn't know where to stay at night. Can we stay overnight in the commune?"
The militia looked at the identity slip and found no problem. Moreover, Song Desheng spoke the dialect of Hongqi Commune, so they took him into the hall.
There were two rows of chairs in the hall. The militiaman said, "Just lie down on the chairs for a while and don't walk around."
Song Desheng hurriedly thanked him.
Although the environment was simple, at least they were settled down. He felt guilty: "Manman, I made you feel wronged. I'm sorry."
Tang Man forced a smile: "It's okay, just go back."
She couldn't sleep in such a place, so she got up and walked around. She saw a lot of newspapers and documents on the walls of the hall, covered with glass. In the dim light, she saw the name of Xiaojing Brigade and the introduction of the two factories.
She said in disbelief: "Desheng, are the two factories in your Xiaojing Brigade so powerful? They said they pulled in more than one million in foreign exchange at this year's Canton Fair!"
Song Desheng hurried forward and took a closer look. He was also incredulous. "Our food factory has only earned 120,000 yuan in foreign exchange this year, which is already a very good performance. How can a factory run by a village be qualified to participate in the Canton Fair and earn more than 1 million yuan in foreign exchange? It's impossible, right?"
The lighting is really too dim.
He took a match from his pocket, scratched it, and read the newspaper quickly and carefully by the light of the match.
This is a newspaper from Guangcheng, and next to it is a newspaper from their Hubei Province. They all reported in detail the great achievements of the Xiaojing Non-staple Food Processing Factory, and especially praised the factory director, who was addressed as Director Jiang from beginning to end!
When did Xiaojing Brigade have such a powerful person, and he didn’t even know about it?
Suddenly, Tang Man's surprised cry came to my ears: "Director Jiang? Jiang Wanyue? Desheng, isn't your ex-wife called Jiang Wanyue?"
Her slender finger pointed to the bottom of the newspaper.
Here we introduce the leaders of the two factories, Jiang Wanyue, in detail. She was an educated youth who went to the countryside. She used her knowledge to set up the factory and promoted the development of the entire Xiaojing Brigade. She also took the lead in purchasing the first harvester of the commune. She also participated in the hybrid rice project that made a sensation at home and abroad...
When the militia at the door heard them mention Jiang Wanyue, he walked in proudly and said, "You probably haven't been to Hongqi Commune in the past two years. Let me tell you, Director Jiang is really a capable person. In October of the year before last, she established a fishery. In just over a year, she took the fishery abroad. Now the fishery has been renamed Xiaojing Non-staple Food Processing Factory, and many foreigners like the canned food produced there!"
"My younger brother works at the Xiaojing Processing Factory. He has only been working there for seven or eight months. Because of his good performance, Director Jiang personally promoted him to be the workshop leader. In less than a year, his salary has increased three times. Isn't today the Little New Year? The factory has distributed a lot of things. The welfare benefits are better than those of many factories in the county!"
Song Desheng could tell from these words that this militiaman admired Jiang Wanyue very much, even to the point of worship.
More than a year ago, when he was still in the Xiaojing Brigade, being a commune militiaman was a job that every man wanted to do. But now, a respected militiaman actually admired Jiang Wanyue, a woman, so much!
His voice was dry: "How can a woman achieve such a great result? She must have someone helping her, right?"
"Look at what you said. How can you still look down on women? Director Jiang is much more capable than most men. Because of Director Jiang's factory, our Hongqi Commune is now ranked first in economic efficiency in the county. It is also because of Director Jiang that our commune secretary was promoted, and the county secretary was also promoted... In addition, the educated youth in other communes envy our commune!"
Song Desheng became interested: "Why?"
"Which educated youth doesn't want to go back to the city? But there is no chance. Director Jiang opened a store in the provincial capital and recruited nearly ten educated youth to work in the province. He also said that he would continue to recruit people after the store expands!" The militiaman said, "I heard that Director Jiang spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy a row of houses in the provincial capital. Anyone who comes to work in the city will be provided with food and accommodation, and the treatment is very good..."
"Really?" Tang Man couldn't help but speak sharply. "Your Director Jiang is also an educated youth, right? Since she has the ability to buy a house in the provincial capital, why doesn't she stay there? Why does she stay here?"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?" The militiaman said, "Although the provincial capital is good, Director Jiang has roots here and of course doesn't want to leave. Besides, she has a child who is in school. It's impossible for Director Jiang to abandon her child. Well, Director Jiang is also a pitiful person. I just found out that her husband is not dead and she has remarried outside... I don't understand, what kind of blind man is he to leave such a powerful woman like Director Jiang and marry a wild woman outside?"
Having come to this point, Song Desheng couldn't continue the topic.
Tang Man pinched her palms tightly and couldn't utter a word.
The militiaman talked a lot to himself, but when the two men didn't respond, he got up and went outside to chat with another militiaman.
"She is beautiful..." Tang Man said softly, "It must be because she is beautiful that..."
Song Desheng didn't know what to say.
He abandoned his wife and children and set up a new family outside just to stay in the provincial capital.
But his ex-wife actually had the ability to keep so many people in the provincial capital...
Obviously she wasn't like this before.
How come she suddenly changed completely after he left?
Is it really because she is beautiful?
Song Desheng closed his eyes.
I feel so uncomfortable.
