Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Secretary Wang thought that the matter must have gotten out of hand, so he had no time to be polite. He lost control of his temper and when his bicycle chain came off at the last bit of distance from the production team office, he didn't even care and just left the bicycle behind and ran away.

"Zeng Laosan, Zeng Laosan, come out here..." Secretary Wang stopped calling out to his comrade and called out his name. He just went berserk.

Such a hot-tempered character is not suitable for being the head of a commune, but only someone like Secretary Wang can manage the production team of Maihe Commune in an obedient manner.

The reason is very simple. The conditions here are better and the villages are difficult to manage. It would be a shame to replace them with someone with a weak character.

"Who are you? Did you call Zeng Laosan?" A villager didn't recognize Secretary Wang, whose face was covered in mud, and blocked him at the intersection, refusing to let him in.

"Get out of the way! I'm looking for Zeng Laosan!" Secretary Wang didn't want to argue with the villagers.

At this time, Zeng Laosan had heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing Secretary Wang being stopped, he jumped up and slapped the villager on the arm: "Get out, this is Secretary Wang of the commune."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Secretary Wang, what happened to you?" The villager apologized, touching his buttocks.

"It's none of your business!" Secretary Wang waved his hand generously, turned around and scolded Zeng Lao San, "How can you be the branch secretary? How can you sit back and relax when such a big thing happened? Where are the members? Why are there only these few? Have they all gone to fight?"

Before, because there were too many people in the cafeteria, Zeng Laosan was worried that some people might not be able to resist stealing food, so he drove everyone away and asked them to dig wild vegetables for dinner later, so there are not many people here now.

"What kind of fight are you having? Secretary Wang, you can't wrongly accuse us!" Zeng Laosan recalled what Zeng Wangcai said and said with a wronged look on his face, "We were acting in self-defense. Didn't the people I sent tell you that?"

"That Zeng Niu? He is Zeng Niu. He can't even explain a few words clearly, but he said you had a fight." Secretary Wang said unhappily.

Well, forget about that. Just remember that he is fast.

Zeng Laosan had no choice but to tell the whole story of the conflict between the two villages, and finally complained: "Secretary Wang, how can this be possible? There has never been a saying that the Cow Dung Mountain belongs to any one family. Besides, our village member Comrade Zeng Youhuo has always been honest and dutiful. He ran all over the mountains to hunt game for the commune, and didn't say anything when he was beaten. As a result, the younger generation of his family couldn't stand it. But even if that's the case, you can just talk it out. But the two sons of Zhu Laojiu's family are hooligans..."

We can't say that Zeng Laosan was selfless as he said, but at least he restored the whole process, with some exaggeration, which inevitably favored his own people.

He knew that he didn't need to add too much, because Zhu Damao and Zhu Ermao were notorious. Something happened to them at the beginning of this year, and the news reached Secretary Wang's ears, and Zhu Laojiu suffered for it.

"Zeng Youhuo? Is that the Zeng Youhuo who is good at catching wild boars and pheasants, and can also fish?" Secretary Wang asked with emotion.

"The one who caught the pheasant was Zeng Youhuo." Zeng Laosan explained, "The wild boar and fish were not caught by Zeng Youhuo, but by his nephew Zeng Wangcai. This kid is great. He settled down in Beijing, but he never forgot his roots."

After bragging about Zeng Wangcai for a while, Zeng Laosan stopped and waited for Secretary Wang's decision.

Secretary Wang glanced at the big pot and stove and asked, "What's going on? Rewarding the members after the fight?"

"You are wrongly accusing me again. How dare I!" Zeng Laosan was waiting for Secretary Wang to ask, and he immediately explained again, "This is Zeng Wangcai who provided meat, fish, and chickens, and our team provided manpower and labor, because his second uncle was beaten, and the village stood up for him. He wanted to thank the village and invite the villagers to dinner tonight. There are ten tables, one pig, ten chickens, and ten fish. Secretary Wang, it is better to come at the right time than to come early. Let's have dinner here tonight..."

Secretary Wang was shocked. How could he care about the food issue? One pig, ten chickens, and ten fish. This was a banquet. Even the commune was not so rich that they didn't dare to eat like this. How could he afford it alone?

He didn't know that Zeng Wangcai had gotten several hundred kilograms of fish at one time, but he remembered that Zeng Laosan mentioned it the first time he delivered meat to the commune.

Zeng Laosan knew Secretary Wang's concerns and continued, "Secretary Wang, don't worry, I won't make any mistakes. Zeng Wangcai killed three wild boars last night, each weighing more than 300 kilograms. He also caught 28 pheasants and a hare in one night. Now he's going fishing, and he said he won't stop until he catches 1,000 kilograms of fish..."

After hearing this, Secretary Wang was numb.

This is not human, how can anyone do this? The wild boar is raised in your pigpen, so you can just pull it out? The pheasant is raised in your chicken coop, so you can just reach out and get it?

Let’s not talk about this. Even if the fish are raised in your fish pond, you can’t say that if you catch a thousand kilograms, it’s a thousand kilograms, right?

"This Zeng Wangcai..." Secretary Wang started to speak, but for a moment he didn't know how to phrase it.

Zeng Laosan understood it immediately, and then explained the peculiarities of Zeng Wangcai and told him what Zeng Wangcai had ambushed.

In a word, the acquisition of materials is reasonable and legal, but...not reasonable.

Secretary Wang always felt that something was wrong, but he had no way to refute it. This was what was unreasonable. You couldn't just go to the Academy of Sciences to ask, and even if you went to ask, there really was a person named Zhou Yuanbai there, and he really was Zeng Wangcai's master.

"Okay, now that the matter has been handled, I can go back. I'll talk to Zhu Jiu later." Secretary Wang was relieved and was about to leave. He didn't plan to stay here for dinner.

Zeng Lao San, of course, refused to do so. He followed Secretary Wang and persuaded him, "Secretary Wang, please stay and have a bite. You have come all the way here, and you should wash off the mud on your body."

"No more eating. Go back and wash. I have something else to do!" Secretary Wang walked out and was stunned when he came to the place where the bicycles were parked. He then started to curse, "Where is my bicycle? Who stole my bicycle? Zeng Laosan, there is a big problem in your production team. How dare they steal my bicycle?"

Zeng Laosan was laughing inside, but he held it back and didn't dare to laugh.

Obviously, no one would dare to steal the commune secretary's car. Secretary Wang's car was not stolen, but Zeng Laosan secretly arranged for someone to wash it and install the loose chain.

"Don't be angry, Secretary Wang. How could someone steal a car in our village?" Zeng Laosan hurriedly grabbed Secretary Wang and said, "Go wash it. Maybe the car will be back when you come out later. Besides, you haven't finished dealing with this matter yet. According to Zhu Laojiu's temper, he will definitely continue to make trouble. Maybe he will bring people to our village in a while..."

"He dares!" Secretary Wang glared, then compromised in frustration, "Forget it, I'll stay for a while. I think Zhu Jiu will really come. I'll meet Zeng Wangcai later."

Both of them knew Zhu Jiu very well and could basically guess what Zhu Jiu would do next.

Besides, Secretary Wang guessed that the bicycle was taken away by Zeng Laosan. If he forced him to take it back, it would not be impossible, but it would hurt the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

Secretary Wang had another important reason to stay. He wanted to talk to Zeng Wangcai.

Afterwards, Secretary Wang was taken away for purge. As the head of a commune, it was really ugly to see him covered in mud.

Less than ten minutes after Secretary Wang left, Zhu Laojiu arrived. Not only did he come, he also asked several young men in the village to carry their second son, Zhu Ermao, over.

That's right, they carried him over and turned a bamboo bed over, letting Zhu Ermao lie on it like a pregnant woman about to give birth, and four people carried him into Zengzhuang.

This is to settle the score.
