When they heard the shouting again, the cursing thoughts in everyone's mind disappeared instantly. Not only that, they all showed a relaxed smile as if a burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
Because they have arrived.
After getting off the car, several middle-aged men led them into the yard behind them and into a brightly lit house.
There were several long tables and benches in the room, and two thermoses on each table.
The leading man said to everyone cheerfully, "Comrades, my name is Pang Weimin. If you encounter difficulties and problems in Zichang County in the future, you can come to me at any time. I will do my best to help you solve them.
The captains of the various teams haven't arrived yet, so you can all rest in this room for a while. The water bottles are filled with freshly drawn hot water, so feel free to drink. Go out, turn right, and walk to the end. Turn right again, and walk a few steps to the restroom. Feel free to use it if you want to.
If you have any questions, ask them now. If there are no problems, I will go get them for you."
Hearing his rapid-fire words, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
They just got here, what could be wrong?
So several middle-aged men turned around and walked out.
Li Chen and his group put down their luggage, filled the kettle they carried with hot water, then sat on the stools, took out their food and started eating.
But as they ate, everyone felt something was wrong.
Is it too cold here?
Everyone held on for a while, but eventually they couldn't hold on any longer and took out cotton-padded clothes from their luggage and put them on.
Liu Yunxiao also took out one of his new cotton-padded jackets for Xiong Xue to wear.
Originally Xiong Xue was reluctant to wear it, but he persuaded her with just a few words.
Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn't help but smacking his lips, thinking, is this kid going to get a wife and return to Tang County?
Wearing an extra coat will make everyone feel warm.
After dinner, everyone chatted while waiting.
It was not until after seven in the morning that the middle-aged man who said he was going to get something in the middle of the night came with a group of people.
When the man saw the scene in the room, he was stunned for a moment, then he slapped his forehead and said regretfully, "Because of this, I forgot to put the brazier on for you. Young comrades, I'm really sorry. I admit my mistake. It's my fault for not doing my job well."
After saying this, he bent down and bowed to everyone.
Whether he really forgot or pretended to forget, this gesture is enough.
So everyone said it was okay.
The man then straightened up and pointed at the group of people behind him with white towels wrapped around their heads. "These are the captains who are here to pick you up. After you receive your belongings, they will take you back. Xiao Li, read out the assignment list."
A young man came out holding a paper in his hand. He said, "Those whose names are called, please stand up." Then he read out four names in one breath and the production teams to which they were assigned.
After finishing reading, the captain of the brigade took the four people aside.
Everything was going smoothly, but as soon as the sixth group's assigned location was read out, the local team leader suddenly became unhappy and jumped out to yell, "You coward! There are four of us, and you gave me two girls and two boys? Do you have a grudge against me and did this on purpose?"
Being called a coward for no reason, Xiao Li was also unhappy. His face darkened, and he handed over the paper in his hand and said unhappily, "Captain Wu, when have we ever been enemies? Take a good look and see if the people assigned to the next few brigades are similar to you."
"What?" Several team leaders who hadn't been assigned any men yet exclaimed, "We need strong laborers. Why are you assigning so many people who can't work?"
Although they spoke with a local accent, everyone could still understand them.
So when they heard this, the girls and younger men's faces instantly became extremely ugly.
Can you speak?
Are being unable to do heavy work and being unable to work the same thing?
Xiao Li said unhappily, "The boys assigned to you are all fifteen years old at the youngest. In a little over a month, they'll be sixteen. They'll be strong laborers, right?"
Several team leaders were so angry that they jumped up and down. They dragged him to the groups that had already been assigned, and shouted, "Look carefully, their five teams only got three girls in total, and the rest are strong laborers. Why are the people we get so much less than them?"
Xiao Li was secretly complaining, you really don’t know why this happened?
At this time, Pang Weimin came over and pulled Xiao Li away, saying dissatisfiedly, "Captains, we have carefully considered where these people will be assigned. Just follow our instructions."
Perhaps he hadn't expected that the captains wouldn't give him any respect at all. "Did you guys make this decision after careful consideration? I see you made this decision alone, didn't you?"
"If it's fair and reasonable, we'll accept it. But if you do this, we definitely won't accept it."
"That's right, if we give in, won't you be riding on our necks and peeing and shitting tomorrow?"
At this time, everyone realized that there seemed to be a conflict between the two sides for a long time, but it was just intensified through this incident.
But what they don’t understand is how dare these captains be so arrogant?
Just as they were wondering how Pang Weimin would respond, something even more confusing happened.
Pang Weimin was stunned at first, then his expression changed back and forth. Finally, he took a deep breath and asked through gritted teeth, "So what do you want to do?"
Good job.
As a county leader, how could you give in to a few team leaders?
"Simple, just redistribute it."
"No." The five captains who had already received the troops said in unison, "The points have been allocated, so let's do it this way."
They naturally couldn't let the cooked duck escape from their mouths, so they refused decisively.
