Chapter 55 Shameless Liu Xuexu
Bai Zhenggan didn't take Yan Naqian seriously at all.
"Of course my awareness is not as high as Yan Zhiqing's. After all, Yan Zhiqing is an intellectual from a big city who came here to undergo ideological transformation! Then I would like to ask Yan Zhiqing, since your awareness is so high, how much do you plan to donate?"
Yan Naqian: ...
Bai Zhenggan, "Oh, I have another question for you. Even if Zhao Zhijun from the Town Grain Administration Bureau committed the serious crime of forging official documents, what does this have to do with you...? Why did you and Zhao Zhijun cheat people together?"
While speaking, Bai Zhenggan made a few gestures towards the village chief sitting next to him without showing any emotion.
——Find a way to keep Zhao Zhijun and Yan Naqian.
——Call the police immediately.
The village chief is Bai Zhenggan's cousin, and has been following Bai Zhenggan since he was a teenager. When they were young, they worked together for the landlords and protected our party's underground workers. They went through life and death together and depended on each other for life and death...
There is an extraordinary tacit understanding between the two.
The village chief coughed twice, left slowly, and then called two confidants, asking one to ride a bicycle to the town to call the police, and the other to puncture a hole in the tire of Zhao Zhijun's car...
Then the village chief returned to Bai Zhenggan and gave him a look that said, "Don't worry, it's been done."
Bai Zhenggan felt relieved.
At this moment, Zhao Zhijun and Yan Naqian, who were ridiculed by Bai Zhenggan, were both hit in the sore spot -
Zhao Zhijun said angrily: "Old man, stop talking nonsense! How could I forge an official document?"
Yan Naqian said: "Me? I am Zhao Zhijun's wife now... Is there anything wrong with a wife supporting her husband's career?"
Bai Zhenggan asked Zhao Zhijun, "Did you marry Yan Naqian?"
Zhao Zhijun nodded.
Bai Zhenggan, "Do you have proof of the fight?"
Zhao Zhijun took out the marriage certificate - he and Yan Naqian had made love all night last night and was very satisfied with Yan Naqian's young and energetic body, so today he took Yan Naqian to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the marriage procedures. After getting the marriage certificate, he drove her to Ruyi Village to do things and move luggage.
Bai Zhenggan took the marriage certificate and carefully read the contents and the seal, confirming that Yan Naqian and Zhao Zhijun were married.
He handed the marriage certificate back to Zhao Zhijun and said sincerely, "If that's the case, then it's easy!" Then he turned around and shouted, "Is the accountant of our village committee here? Is the accountant of the first production team here?"
Two accountants stepped out.
"Hey, Secretary, I'm here!"
"Here! Secretary, I'm here too!"
Bai Zhenggan instructed the two accountants, "Hurry up and calculate the labor debt owed by Yan Zhiqing, and do it quickly!"
The two accountants responded and hurried to the office to do the accounting.
Yan Naqian felt something was wrong and glared at Bai Zhenggan, "What do you mean?"
Bai Zhenggan ignored her and turned to Zhao Zhijun and said, "It just so happens that your wife owes a lot of debt to our production team... Are you here today to help her transfer? Please pay off the debt first, otherwise I won't let her go."
Zhao Zhijun frowned, "Debt?"
Bai Zhenggan said, "How about I ask the comrades from the Youth Educator Station to explain it to you?" Then he raised his voice and asked, "Are the comrades from the Youth Educator Station here?"
Jia Xiaohong responded, "Secretary, we are all here!"
Bai Zhenggan said, "Then you can talk to Yan Zhiqing's lover! Let's solve Yan Zhiqing's debt problem as soon as possible, so as not to hinder Yan Zhiqing's success, right?"
The educated youth immediately spoke out in unison:
"Yan Naqian has been in the village for two years, but the total number of days she actually worked to earn work points is no more than one month! She didn't earn any work points, but she spent a lot of them every month!"
"Yan Naqian never buys soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste and toothbrushes for herself. She steals them all from us!"
"Everyone in our dormitory has lost money, except Yan Naqian. Let's think about it carefully!"
"Two years ago, Yan Naqian borrowed five dollars from me, and she still hasn't paid me back! Even after I urged her to pay, she still refuses to admit it!"
"Yan Naqian took my quilt and my leather shoes were worn out by her. How can I settle this account?"
"She never does any work and is the best at ordering others around. Everyone in the Youth League Station is her nanny. She didn't come to the countryside to work in the fields. She came to be the daughter of a capitalist and exploit the proletariat!"
Yan Naqian's face turned blue and red.
Zhao Zhijun looked at her in shock.
At this time, the two accountants came over with the note and handed it to Bai Zhenggan.
Bai Zhenggan took a look at it and handed the note to Zhao Zhijun. "... Take a look. Yan Naqian has been in our village for more than two years. It lists out how many times she has worked, how many work points she has earned, how much collective food she has consumed, and how much she has spent... It's all clearly listed!"
Zhao Zhijun glanced at the end of the list and said in surprise, "... 250???"
The villagers who were watching suddenly burst into laughter!
Bai Zhenggan smiled, "Just give the money! You are Yan Zhiqing's husband now. Yan Zhiqing is so conscious, you can't hold her back! When you return the money to us on her behalf, our village committee will call on the whole village to donate money. We must collect at least 300 yuan... and then donate the money to the disaster area!"
Then he asked the villagers who were watching, "Fellow villagers, are you willing to donate money to the people in the disaster area?"
The villagers shouted in unison—
"willing!"
More than 180 families pooled 50 yuan, which is equivalent to about 30 cents per family. It is still affordable and much better than donating 30% of the grain!
Besides, Yan Naqian has to donate 250. Seeing Yan Naqian being embarrassed, the villagers feel so happy.
Bai Zhenggan said to Yan Naqian again: "Yan Zhiqing, do you think... are you more politically conscious? Or are the villagers in our village more politically conscious? Oh, I think about it, we are still not as good as you! At least we can't be so shameless as not to work and still eat the collective food, right?"
Bai Zhenggan is an old hermaphrodite, and he just doesn't like to make things difficult for young people. Now that he's pissed off, he's going all out.
Yan Naqian is no match for him at all!
She couldn't help but bite her lip in anger - why were these villagers, who didn't even have names in the original work, unwilling to develop according to the established plot!
Bai Zhenggan saw that Zhao Zhijun was silent and Yan Naqian looked at a loss, so he urged, "Hey, you two should pay quickly so that we can help Yan Zhiqing with the transfer procedures, right?"
Zhao Zhijun stuffed the two notes into Yan Naqian's hand, stood up, and said to Bai Zhenggan, "Forget it, I have something else to do today, so I won't delay you! The money Yan Naqian owes is her pre-marital debt, you can ask her for it yourself!"
He has come to his senses.
——He thought he had picked up a young and beautiful female educated youth and that he was taking advantage of her! Who knew the water here was so deep? Do I have to pay back 250 yuan as redemption fee for her? Furthermore, the document he forged for her...could potentially drag him into an abyss of no return!
What fucking bad luck! It’s better to stop loss in time!
So Zhao Zhijun said to Bai Zhenggan, "Secretary, if you don't want to sign that document, just give it back to me. I don't want to force you anymore. I'm leaving now! I have something else to do!"
Bai Zhenggan sneered, "Don't worry! Now that I'm here..."
Zhao Zhijun: This doesn’t sound very good.
The villagers are also smart.
——From the beginning, Yan Naqian and Zhao Zhijun's aggressiveness, to Bai Zhenggan's calm counterattack later, they had seen through Yan Naqian's aggressive appearance and Zhao Zhijun's guilty conscience.
In addition, the villagers trusted their secretary very much, so they all echoed:
"Don't even think about leaving until you pay back the money Yan Naqian owes you!"
"Also, explain clearly the matter of donating 30% of the grain! Was it the government's additional tax or did you deliberately trick us into donating grain?"
"Yan Naqian! Our village donated 300 yuan to the disaster area. How much will you donate?"
"Yes, you have the nerve to say that we have low awareness. If you are so aware, how much will you donate?"
"You think too highly of her. She is so poor and lazy, how could she possibly donate money to the disaster area?"
"Zhao Zhijun! If you dare to forge a national administrative order, you will die!"
Zhao Zhijun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and could no longer sit still. "Secretary Bai, I, I have something else to do at home... I, I'll leave first!"
As he said this, he turned around and wanted to run away without even caring about Yan Naqian.
After running two steps, he suddenly remembered the document that Bai Zhenggan had withheld... the document he had forged?
Zhao Zhijun ran back again and reached out to grab the handwritten document with the official seal of the Grain Administration that was tightly held in Bai Zhenggan's hand.
Tang Liren didn't say a word, but she stood beside her husband with a fierce look in her eyes.
Seeing Zhao Zhijun coming towards him with a stern face and fierce eyes, and stretching out his claws towards Bai Zhenggan?
She raised her hand and pushed Zhao Zhijun a few steps away!
The villagers all loved their village secretary, and since the secretary had been injured twice, he would definitely not be hurt by Zhao Zhijun again...
At that moment, the villagers were in an uproar and were all angry!
Several young men immediately rushed up and pinned the weak Zhao Zhijun to the ground.
"Why don't you try to touch our secretary?"
"Everyone, you can see clearly that he was the first to attack the secretary!"
"Zhao Zhijun! You are so brave. You are relying on your youth and strength to bully our injured secretary? Fine! I will let you have a taste of the collective iron fist of our Ruyi Village Production Brigade!"
"Shameless Zhao Zhijun!"
In the chaos, I don't know who punched Zhao Zhijun a few times, and he started to wail.
Yan Naqian was also frightened and wanted to slip away...
The women in the village had been keeping their eyes on her for a long time, forming a human wall to prevent her from leaving.
Yan Naqian was a little flustered, "What are you doing? You are... illegally detaining me! You are breaking the law! I, I'm going to call the police! Go away! Go away!"
Bai Zhenggan said loudly, "Yan Zhiqing, you are really conscious! Then don't leave. We have already called the police. When the police arrive, we will all listen to them, okay?"
Zhao Zhijun, who was pinned to the ground, howled like a gander, "What? You called the police? Old man, are you sick? Why call the police…"
I don't know which villager hit him hard, "Try to scold my secretary again?"
Zhao Zhijun was so panicked that he shouted, "Let me go... Secretary, Secretary Bai! Something really happened at home, please let me leave immediately! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the Grain Administration!"
Bai Zhenggan, "Don't worry, our people will not only go to the town to report the incident to the police, but will also go to the Grain Administration Bureau to report your case to your unit and leaders. Ask them whether the 30% grain tax increase in Ruyi Village was a government order or your own decision?"
Zhao Zhijun screamed, "Don't, don't tell my unit!"
Bai Zhenggan understood and then looked at Yan Naqian.
Yan Naqian shook her head desperately, "It has nothing to do with me!"
Zhao Zhijun looked at her in disbelief, "Cousin! You instigated all this! How dare you say it has nothing to do with you?"
Yan Naqian bit her lip and said pitifully, "I'm a woman, how can I know what is a state document or not?"
Zhao Zhijun: …
"You stinky bitch, I'm going to tear you apart!" Zhao Zhijun roared angrily and struggled desperately.
The villagers who were holding Zhao Zhijun down hadn't reacted yet until Bai Zhenggan winked at them -
The villagers who had been suppressing Zhao Zhijun suddenly realized what was happening and let go.
As soon as Zhao Zhijun was free, he rushed to Yan Naqian and slapped her twice, "What the hell did you tell me? You said that hundreds of people in Ruyi Village have wronged you, that everyone looks down on you and treats you like a pig, and everyone bullies you and treats you like a dog, so you tricked me into producing such a document..."
Yan Naqian, "Don't talk nonsense! I, I don't understand those things at all."
——Do you think she is stupid? Fortunately, there was no one around when she discussed the matter with Zhao Zhijun, so she only had to deny it.
Having said that, Yan Naqian was still beaten black and blue by Zhao Zhijun!
Everyone in the village hated Yan Naqian. When Zhao Zhijun beat her, everyone pretended to persuade him.
"Driver Zhao, hitting people is not nice! But Yan Naqian is not a human being, hit her hard!"
"Driver Zhao, why did you only hit her on the body? Didn't you hit her on the face? She has no shame, so why are you being polite to her?"
"Hey, Yan Naqian is worth 250, please be a little more ruthless."
"Driver Zhao, are you tired? Do you want to use your hand to continue? Or you can just use your foot..."
Despite the villagers' consolation, Yan Naqian was beaten.
Then--
Zhao Zhijun took advantage of the villagers' unpreparedness and ran towards the village entrance!
This sudden change shocked everyone.
Yan Naqian especially.
She was stunned for a while before she realized - Zhao Zhijun wanted to abandon her?
She was so angry that she quickly got up and chased after him while crying.
Some villagers also followed.
However, when Zhao Zhijun ran to his car parked at the entrance of the village, he found that all four tires of the car were flat?
He was really panicked, and was taken back to the village committee by the villagers with a sad face.
Yan Naqian became angry and started fighting with Zhao Zhijun.
For a while, the two of them were swearing and attacking each other, scratching faces and pulling hair, it was very lively.
About two hours later, the villagers who went to the town to report the incident came back on bicycles, bringing with them leaders from the police and the Grain Administration Bureau.
The police here went to find Bai Zhenggan and the village cadres to understand the situation. On the other side, the leader of the Grain Administration who came was Director Wang, who was Zhao Zhijun's uncle.
Director Wang certainly favors Zhao Zhijun.
Zhao Zhijun lost his mind and cried to Director Wang, "Uncle..."
Wang Renzhu glared at Zhao Zhijun fiercely and said, "Shut up!"
Bai Zhenggan, who was explaining the situation to the police, was looking in all directions and listening attentively, and he heard the word "uncle" clearly!
However, Bai Zhenggan still carefully told the police what had just happened.
Of course Director Wang also heard it.
After Bai Zhenggan finished explaining the case, the police asked Zhao Zhijun, "…Is that document real? Or did you forge it?"
Zhao Zhijun glanced at Director Wang and didn't dare say anything.
Director Wang chuckled, "Secretary Bai, it's not a big deal, it's not worth calling the police!"
Bai Zhenggan, "Director Wang, please tell me... If even forging a national document is not a big deal, then you must have done something bigger? Why don't you tell us about it so that we can open our eyes?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he became a hermaphrodite.
Director Wang: …
"The country has indeed not issued such an administrative order," Director Wang said, "but what Xiao Zhao said is not wrong. Most places are now suffering from disasters. I have heard that... Your Ruyi Village has a bumper harvest this year. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Even if you are asked to donate 30% of the grain from Ruyi Village... so what?"
Bai Zhenggan, "We are farmers, we do whatever the leader says!"
Director Wang showed ecstasy - if he could find a way to get Ruyi Village to agree to donate 30% of its grain, this would be his greatest political achievement this year!
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhenggan said, "But Director Wang, I just want to ask, how much does your unit plan to donate? Can everyone in your unit donate one-third of their annual salary?"
Director Wang: How is this possible?
Bai Zhenggan continued, "You are not going to let the villagers of Ruyi Village starve for a whole year just by talking, and all the credit goes to you? You want us to donate? Sure, you have to lead by example first."
Director Wang: …
After thinking for a while, Director Wang said, "That's right. Asking you to donate 30% after paying the grain is indeed a bit high. How about... donate 10%?"
Bai Zhenggan sneered, "It's rare that Director Wang understands us! He also knows that if we donate one-third of our annual income, we will have trouble making ends meet. Director, let's discuss it again. Our village has already agreed that other areas will be affected by the disaster, and our village will donate 300 yuan! How about that, Director Wang, will your unit also donate 300 yuan?"
Director Wang: There are only 27 or 28 people in our unit. How can we donate 300? On average, each person pays ten dollars? Am I sick?
Bai Zhenggan raised his voice and said, "Tang Liren!"
Tang Liren, "Here!"
Bai Zhenggan, "Aren't there two reporters from the provincial newspaper who have been following me to interview me? Go to the town by bicycle right now and call those two reporters. Ask them to come over right away and tell them that Director Wang from the town grain management office is willing to donate 300 yuan for this disaster! We must set a new trend and set an example!"
Tang Liren responded with great momentum, then turned and left.
——Of course she wouldn’t really go, she was just acting with her husband.
As expected, Director Wang got anxious and said, "Wait a minute..."
Bai Zhenggan, "What's wrong, Director Wang? You don't want to donate money to the people in the disaster area? Is this your ideological awareness? You don't even want to donate, but you force us to donate?"
Director Wang: …
Bai Zhenggan, "Besides, your eldest nephew came to our village early in the morning, but he said that the document he wrote to force our Ruyi Village to voluntarily donate 30% of the grain was a national administrative order! Director Wang, most people in our village are illiterate farmers. We believe in the government and the country. Your eldest nephew lied to us, and the villagers all believed it! Just now, those elderly grandfathers and grandmothers all cried..."
"Director Wang, you are different from us farmers. You are a leader and you are educated. Tell me, is someone deceiving us farmers in the name of the country? You can't have imagined how big an impact this will have, right? Tell me, isn't it?"
Director Wang was sweating profusely.
He had not expected this to happen, so he glared at Zhao Zhijun fiercely, and thought to himself, he should not get involved in this mess! So as to avoid losing your own official hat.
But Zhao Zhijun hugged his thighs with tears in his eyes, "Uncle... No, Director Wang, I, I was also wronged!" As he said that, he turned around and glanced at Yan Naqian.
Director Wang also glanced at Yan Naqian and understood.
——It should be that Zhao Zhijun was blinded by lust and did something like that for that bitch?
Director Wang rolled his eyes and said to Bai Zhenggan, "How could such a thing happen? Secretary Bai, I will take Zhao Zhijun back first and investigate what happened. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation!"
As he said that, he grabbed Zhao Zhijun and wanted to take him away quickly.
Bai Zhenggan winked.
The villagers rushed over and formed a human wall to prevent Director Wang from leaving.
Bai Zhenggan said, "Director Wang, why don't you investigate here, in broad daylight, so that everyone can hear clearly what is going on!"
Director Wang: I took him away just to avoid you, ask him for permission, and then think of a way to fool you!
It was obvious that Bai Zhenggan would not be persuaded by any persuasion. Director Wang also became angry and said arrogantly: "Bai Zhenggan, what do you mean? Do you still want to imprison state officials? Do you know what this behavior is?"
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Wang Jibao!"
Director Wang was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw that the person coming was... Section Chief Hao?
——Section Chief Hao is a grain collection officer sent by the provincial capital. He is specifically responsible for the grain collection in Song County and several nearby counties. He also carries the inspection mission assigned by the central government. He is the immediate superior of the immediate superior of the immediate superior of the town grain management office!
Director Wang was startled, and quickly kicked Zhao Zhijun away, then came over and bowed, saying, "Chief Hao, why are you here? Hey, you didn't even say hello!" Then he turned around and called out to Bai Zhenggan, "Old Bai, hurry up... bring up some good tea and cigarettes, and entertain Chief Hao!"
Bai Zhenggan felt relieved when he saw Section Chief Hao.
He had dealt with Section Chief Hao several times and knew that he was an upright person who hated evil.
I don’t know why, but this time Section Chief Hao suddenly came over without saying hello.
Director Wang was also nervous, thinking that Section Chief Hao was not easy to fool, so he simply gave Zhao Zhijun a look that said "strike first to gain the upper hand".
Zhao Zhijun was also a smart guy. He was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and burst into tears.
"Section Chief Hao! Please judge for me! I came here with good intentions to talk to Secretary Bai of Ruyi Village, trying to persuade him to donate grain to the disaster area... Look, it would have been fine if he didn't agree, but he beat me up like this... Section Chief Hao, you have to make the decision for me!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers were immediately angry and accused one after another:
"You are confusing right and wrong!"
"When you first arrived, you said that the country wanted our Ruyi Village to collect 30% more grain. Our secretary asked you to show us the voucher, and you showed it to me. It turned out to be a handwritten list with the official seal of your grain management office, not the government's! And it also said that our Ruyi Village was required to donate grain voluntarily? Zhao Zhijun, we are farmers, but we are not fools!"
"You are pretending to be a state document to deceive us ordinary people. Are you trying to sow discord between the government and us farmers?"
"Zhao Zhijun, you are so bad! Be careful of being struck by lightning!"
Section Chief Hao said to Bai Zhenggan, "Secretary Bai, please show me that document."
Bai Zhenggan handed over the document with the Grain Administration Office seal that Zhao Zhijun had obtained.
Section Chief Hao only took a glance and his face turned pale.
He glanced coldly at Director Wang and Zhao Zhijun, and also glanced at Yan Naqian, then took out his ID card, work permit and letter of introduction, and handed them to the two police officers for them to read. "Hello, police comrades. I am an inspector appointed by the provincial party committee. Now I need your help. Please give me convenience."
The two police officers immediately handed the documents and letter of introduction back to Section Chief Hao, stood at attention and saluted him, "Yes! Comrade Inspector, we will definitely cooperate with your work!"
Section Chief Hao, "Please take Zhao Zhijun and Yan Naqian back to your police station in town. I will bring a working group to interrogate them later."
The two police officers saluted him again, "Comrade Inspector, we promise to complete the task!"
Zhao Zhijun's face turned pale in an instant!
Yan Naqian was also anxious, "What does this have to do with me? I, I don't know anything, and I'm not from the Grain Management Office..."
Section Chief Hao said coldly, "Alright, stop quibbling. I entered the village earlier than you two, and I saw this farce clearly from beginning to end! You are really... despicable! Nearly 100 million people in the four southern provinces were affected by the disaster, and the country not only has a relief policy, but also opened warehouses to provide grain!"
"But you actually had the audacity to forge state documents to deceive the people just because of personal grudges, and spread rumors that the state was forcing the people in the disaster area to donate money and grain? Do you know what the consequences of this will be?"
The more Section Chief Hao spoke, the angrier he became.
Grandma Qi asked hurriedly, "Comrade Inspector, is it true that the state did not ask us to increase the grain tax by 30%?"
Section Chief Hao said, "Old man, don't listen to their nonsense! The country never asks everyone to increase grain taxes in a disaster year! What's more, there are exemptions this year! Later, I will have a meeting with your secretary to explain the policy from above. When the time comes, you can go and ask your secretary, and you will know how much the country cares about you!"
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately happy again.
"Great! I knew it, how could the country be so cruel..."
"Listen, Grandpa. We don't have to pay so much grain this year!"
"How despicable! It turns out Zhao Zhijun lied to us!"
"That's great! Woohoo, we can finally have enough to eat this year!"
As they were talking, Zhao Zhijun and Yan Naqian were taken away by two police officers.
Section Chief Hao glared at Director Wang again and said unhappily, "You should go back too. Don't do any other work in the near future. Make time to accept the investigation!"
Director Wang's legs went weak. "Section Chief Hao, you are very clear... I, I really didn't know anything about it!"
"Go!" Section Chief Hao said coldly.
Director Wang made a nasal sound similar to sobbing and walked away dejectedly.
Section Chief Hao said to Bai Zhenggan, "Secretary Bai, please ask everyone to leave, and then I will hold a brief briefing with you."
Bai Zhenggan nodded repeatedly and asked the village cadres to maintain order and persuade the villagers to return home.
Tao Tao and Tan Feng Hui saw that the matter was resolved satisfactorily and were about to leave.
Zhou Xiaoni tugged at the corner of Taotao Taotao's clothes, then stepped forward and asked Chief Hao, "Hello, Uncle Inspector, I want to ask, Yan Naqian has been arrested, can she pay back the money she owes to our village? Our village also wants to donate money to the disaster area..."
Section Chief Hao smiled and said, "This matter is not our responsibility, but your village can take this opportunity to call the police and claim the money back, and put some pressure on her!"
Bai Zhenggan shouted, "Xiao Ni'er, we will take care of Yan Naqian's matter. You go back first and we will have a meeting."
Zhou Xiaoni responded happily, waved to Taotao, and went back.
Taotao and Tan Fenghui returned home.
Xingxing was getting extremely anxious. When she saw her sister and sister-in-law coming back, she quickly chased them to ask what was going on.
Taotao and Tan Fenghui talked to each other.
Xing Xing stamped her feet in anger, "If I were here, I would definitely beat up Yan Naqian!" Then she asked, "Is Yan Naqian dead this time?"
Liu Xuexu and Guan Haishan were sitting in the yard and heard everything clearly. Liu Xuexu said, "This is a big deal, and Uncle Hao is a person who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes... Yan Naqian has done a lot of things, don't worry, she will definitely be finished this time!"
Guan Haishan frowned and said, "Why do I feel that... the name Yan Naqian sounds very familiar?"
Taotao called Xingxing to the kitchen to cook.
Tan Fenghui asked Liu Xuexu, "Xuexu, do you know that Section Chief Hao?"
——Otherwise, why do you just call him Uncle Hao?
Liu Xuexu smiled.
Guan Haishan said to Tan Fenghui: "Didn't you just say that Uncle Hao came alone? If he came to your village to do work, there is no reason for him to come alone. But since he really came alone...then I guess he might be here to look for Xuexu!"
Tan Fenghui was surprised, "You... know each other?"
Guan Haishan, "Uncle Hao and Xuexu's mother are cousins! This time he accompanied me to find my brother. We have been wandering outside for more than a month... Yesterday we met my brother, and we called home to report the news. Maybe because of this, his mother notified his uncle and asked him to come over to see Xuxue!"
Liu Xuexu stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "I'll help Taotao cook!"
Tan Fenghui looked at Liu Xuexu's back with a complicated expression.
At this time, Hongdou and Huangdou hurried back to report the news, "Mom, mom! Grandpa said to make more food for lunch. Section Chief Hao wants to come to our house for dinner!"
As soon as Liu Xuexu entered the kitchen, she saw Taotao and Xingxing busying around.
"I'm here to help!" Liu Xuexu said with a smile.
Taotao looked at Liu Xuexu and asked, "Can you cook?"
"No!" Liu Xuexu said frankly.
Taotao laughed out loud.
——She quite likes Liu Xuexu who is so frank.
Just as Liu Xuexu said, not only could he not cook, he couldn't even recognize the dishes. However, Taotao still assigned him a job, asking him to wash cabbage. She also taught him step by step how to break the leaves apart and rinse and clean them one by one.
Liu Xuexu washed the catkins very carefully.
Taotao heard that Section Chief Hao was coming home for dinner?
She started to arrange the dishes.
It just so happened that Liu Xuexu and Guan Haishan brought a large piece of pork belly today, so today's main dish will be pork belly.
Order a portion of braised pork with sauerkraut; since there are many women and children in the house, order another portion of colorful grilled meat rolls; there must be some home-cooked side dishes, such as a stir-fried bitter melon, beans and eggplant, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and a big pot of fresh mushroom soup... Four dishes and one soup, with pickled vegetables and cold lettuce, it's very rich.
So the first step is to stew the meat.
Put the cubed meat into the pot directly with clear water, add salt, ginger, onion, and homemade rice wine, and simmer for about half an hour. During this time, I cut the meat into thin slices and asked Xingxing to fry it in a wok with oil and salt...
Next, Taotao and Liu Xuexu skewered the meat, pickled vegetables and cucumbers; Xingxing stir-fried the bitter melon, beans and eggplant, and then the cabbage.
Liu Xuexu had never done much housework, but when she was with Taotao and watched her concentrate on cooking... Liu Xuexu's attention was never on her hands, but on Taotao's beautiful face.
So that one careless——
He even poked the bamboo skewer used to pierce meat directly into his own hand!
Taotao was startled and hurriedly looked for iodine to treat and bandage his wound.
Liu Xuexu was full of joy.
However, Taotao did not notice anything wrong with him and turned around to direct Xingxing to cook.
——There was still meat stewing in the casserole on the stove. After half an hour, the meat had been stewed until the fat on the surface was crispy and the lean meat inside was still chewy. At this time, you have to take out the pork belly, then put the washed various fresh mushrooms into the pot, sprinkle salt and chopped green onions for seasoning, and a pot of delicious mushroom soup is ready.
The last dish is braised pork with sauerkraut.
Heat the pan with cold oil, first sauté the garlic and fry the sauerkraut, then add the stewed meat and vegetables and stir-fry together, add a small amount of water and simmer, season and reduce the sauce... Perfect!
At this time, Guan Haishan ran in, "Xuexu, your uncle is here!" Then she dragged Liu Xuexu, who was staring at Taotao obsessively, out.
Taotao, Xingxing and others also ran out, said hello to Section Chief Hao, and started to move the food.
While eating, Taotao found out that Section Chief Hao came to Ruyi Village without saying a word today not for work, but for Liu Xuexu.
"Xuexu, stop making trouble! You've been out for how many days? Your mother is extremely worried about you! Be good and listen to me. Go back to the county town with your uncle later. I'll buy you a train ticket so you can go home early... okay?" Section Chief Hao advised earnestly.
Liu Xuexu was unmoved, "I just found the feeling, I won't leave."
Section Chief Hao, "What do you feel?"
Liu Xuexu, "The feeling of creation."
Guan Haishan also nodded repeatedly.
