Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Lin Zhengjun looked back.

I saw a short and fat man with a bloated head walking towards me. He was wearing a big straw hat, a half-new khaki jacket, army green pants and Liberation shoes.

Judging from the way he is dressed, there is no doubt that he is a staff member of the reservoir management station.

You have to know that at that time, ordinary members could not afford Liberation shoes, and basically they all wore homemade cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

Lin Zhengjun said coldly: "I'll come and see the condition of the dam."

He doesn't have a good impression of these reservoir managers!

The reason is very simple. Not to mention that they are just sitting there doing nothing and neglecting their duties, which leads to the breeding of termites.

In the previous life, there were signs of dam collapse at Qiaoban Reservoir. They clearly had broadcasting equipment, but they failed to notify the people downstream to evacuate in time!

After investigating the accident, it was finally discovered that these people actually used the radio batteries to listen to the radio tape recorder, and all the battery power was drained!

You should know that according to reservoir management regulations, the batteries used for reservoir broadcasting must be dedicated and replenished in a timely manner!

When they saw signs of the dam bursting, they just fled upstream and did not go downstream to verbally inform the people.

It was the dereliction of duty of this group of people that ultimately led to huge losses for many communes and brigades downstream, heavy casualties, and dozens of lives lost!

"Look at the condition of the dam? What's there for a peasant like you to see?" the short and fat man shouted.

“Why can’t I watch it?”

Lin Zhengjun shouted: "I am a member of the downstream spillway. The safety of the dam is also related to the safety of life and property of each of us!"

"Hey, you're really good at talking big. What you say sounds better than what you sing!"

The short fat man looked arrogant and said with disdain, "You look poor, I'm afraid you are here to steal fish? Where is the fish? Hand it over quickly!"

"Which eye of yours saw me stealing fish?" Lin Zhengjun immediately became furious!

"Wow! You're still being stubborn, you're a habitual thief!"

The short fat man stretched out his hand and said, "Thanks to my cleverness, I discovered it in time this time. Your attempt to steal the fish failed, but the fish lost in the reservoir the other time must have been stolen by you! I'll fine you two dollars, hand it over quickly, or I'll report you to the police!"

It turns out he wanted to extort money!

A hint of anger flashed across Lin Zhengjun's eyes.

With Lin Zhengjun's original temper, he would definitely beat this guy up.

But now he is a role model in the county. He beats people at every turn, and it will have a bad influence if this gets out.

Anyway, now that the situation is clear, we can just go back and report to Bai Zhiyuan or the Water Conservancy Bureau.

Lin Zhengjun was too lazy to say anything more, so he turned around and left: "I have nothing to say to you!"

"Hey, you want to run? Stop!"

The short and fat man grabbed Lin Zhengjun by the back of his collar and slapped him on the head with his fat palm.

"Shameless thing!"

Lin Zhengjun was furious. He pushed the ground with his legs in a horse stance, and then he bumped into the fat man's arms with his back.

"Pfft!"

The short and fat man was completely bloated and could not withstand a single blow. He staggered backward and fell flat on his face.

"Damn it, how dare you assault a state employee!"

The short fat man was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He jumped up and pointed at Lin Zhengjun and cursed: "You are finished, kid. I must kill you today!"

He ran back a few steps, took out a strange-looking slingshot from the bushes, pulled the bowstring, and aimed at Lin Zhengjun.

This thing is kind of scary!

It is a slingshot used for shooting fish. The sharp arrow flashes with cold light and is connected by thin fiber filaments. It has great power and can shoot a big hole in a person!

"Kneel down! Otherwise, I'll put a big hole in your head!" The short and fat man shouted triumphantly, as if he had won.

"What are you doing! Put it down! What if you hurt someone? You are brandishing knives and guns, can't you just talk it out calmly?"

At this moment, an angry roar was heard, and an old man dressed as a farmer strode majestically along the embankment.

"Whose pants were not tightly closed and let your bird out? What does it have to do with you? Get out of here! Otherwise I will shoot a hole in you too!"

The short and fat man was angry, and when he saw that the old man was dressed ordinary and no different from the people in the surrounding villages, he spoke to him very rudely.

When Lin Zhengjun took a look at the old man, he felt that his facial features were somewhat similar to Zheng Dali. Then he saw that he was wearing a Shanghai brand all-steel watch on his wrist and almost laughed out loud.

How could he be an ordinary member? How could ordinary people in the village afford to wear watches now?

Zheng Yongchang!

Zheng Dali’s father, the director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau!

I guess he listened to my reminder and came to check the condition of the reservoir!

The short and fat guy is awesome. He treats Zheng Yongchang like a bird and scolds him. He is a talented person.

As expected, Zheng Yongchang was so angry that his face turned blue. He put one hand on his waist, pointed at the short fat man's nose and shouted, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to fine people? Why do you have the right to injure people with weapons?"

"Because I am the temporary administrator of the reservoir, and my brother-in-law is Li Gang, the director of the reservoir management station!"

The short fat man shouted angrily: "What? Are you here to steal fish too? Are you his accomplice?"

"Wow, I'm so lucky today, I caught an accomplice! You also kneel down, otherwise, I will shoot you through the heart!"

In previous years, when there was famine in the village, people often came to the reservoir to pick up wild duck eggs.

Zhang Danian never showed mercy, no matter whether someone was male or female, young or old, once he found them, he would beat them half to death.

After beating, they have to tie the dog with a rope and parade it through the surrounding villages like a dog for public display!

With his title as a state cadre, no member of the commune dared to resist him, and Zhang Danian became even more arrogant and domineering.

Lin Zhengjun's mouth twitched, and he observed three seconds of silence for his brother-in-law.

It's really unlucky to meet such a brother-in-law.

There's nothing wrong with using your strength to trick your brother-in-law!

Zheng Yongchang was so angry that his whole body began to tremble. He shouted, "Immediately tell that guy named Li Gang to come out and see me!"

"Who do you think you are? You, a peasant, have the qualifications to see my brother-in-law! Pah!" Zhang Danian showed contempt and spat in Lao Zheng's face.

"Fuck your grandma!"

Zheng Yongchang was so angry that he almost exploded. He took out his red work ID from his pocket and smashed it in Zhang Danian's face.

A corner of the hard cover pierced his face, and Zhang Danian grimaced in pain. Just as he was about to explode, he heard Zheng Yongchang roaring with full momentum: "Just because I am Zheng Yongchang, the director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, is that enough?"

"What? The director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau?"

Zhang Danian was so frightened when he heard this that his legs went limp. He picked up his work permit and looked at it. His face turned pale as paper and he said in a trembling voice, "Director Zheng, I was wrong, I was wrong. I didn't know it was you!"

"Where are Li Gang and his men?"

"Playing cards!"

Under extreme nervousness, Zhang Danian stumbled over his words.

"Hehehe..."

Lin Zhengjun held his forehead with his hand, trying his best to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out, but he couldn't do it at all and couldn't help laughing like a pig.

This guy is such a funny guy, are you sure he is your brother-in-law?

"Why don't you ask him to come over? Do you want me to invite him in person?" Zheng Yongchang said with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.

"Okay, okay, Director Zheng, please wait a moment, I'll be there right away!"

Zhang Danian immediately ran towards the management station office on the side of the reservoir in a panic.

He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he tripped over a wooden stick, falling to the ground and screaming in pain.

But he ignored the pain, got up and continued running.

"This bastard, with his slingshot for shooting fish, thinks the reservoir is his own fish pond. I'll kill him when I get back!" Zheng Yongchang cursed angrily.

Lin Zhengjun shrugged and said nothing.

This is an internal matter of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and he can't interfere.

Looking at Lin Zhengjun, Zheng Yongchang smiled and asked, "What's your name, comrade?"

"My name is Lin Zhengjun, and I'm an ordinary member of the Hewan Brigade below the reservoir." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Oh, so you are Comrade Lin Zhengjun!"

Zheng Yongchang quickly shook hands and exchanged greetings, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you for your concern for our water conservancy project, and thank you for reporting the problem of termites in the reservoir in a timely manner!"
