Chapter 1640: The Disappearance of Xishantun and the Angry Zhang Lizheng (Thanks to Alliance Leader Kang Pangpang for the Extra 25)
Of the four banquets held by the Zhao family today, the third one was undoubtedly the most important, because this banquet was mainly for the forestry workers, who were Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai's colleagues.
Today is the first day of work after the Lunar New Year in the forest farm, just like the first day of school for students, cleaning and collecting books. After arriving at the unit, the workers first go to the logistics department to collect new spring and autumn uniforms and labor protection supplies.
After distributing the items, they divided the work to clean the site, office building, and workshop. At 11:30, they took the commuter train to the Zhao family for a banquet.
According to the plan, after the wedding banquet, the workers will take the commuter bus back to the forest farm to continue working.
But there was no work on the first day, and the leaders of the factory were not there, so after the workers finished their meal, they went back to their homes.
The leaders turned a blind eye to this.
Thinking that they had nothing to do in the afternoon, the workers wanted to take advantage of the Zhao family's banquet to have some drinks.
The wine glasses were all filled, and those who didn't drink wine opened beer. But when the dishes started to be served, the workers forgot about drinking and started to focus on eating.
It was not until all twenty dishes were served and Zhao Jun, Ma Ling, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were toasting that the workers, who had almost finished their meal, began to drink with their food.
It was the first time for the workers to have such delicious food with wine. When the four members of the Zhao family toasted, the workers praised the Zhao family and the meal in the most straightforward way.
Next, it was time for the workers to have a drink.
Every worker in the forest area is a well-known figure. Their hugs are the most reserved, but the atmosphere is the most enthusiastic.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was walking between the tables, and the sound of people calling him to drink was endless.
Soon, Zhao Youcai could no longer hold on. Li Dayong saw this and hurriedly urged Wang Qiang and Zhou Jianjun to go over and support Zhao Youcai.
"Dad, you asked others to go, why don't you go?" While speaking, Li Baoyu was wondering that with Li Dayong's loyalty to Zhao Youcai, he should be the first one to rush over.
"One of them is my brother-in-law and the other is my uncle-in-law, shouldn't they go first?" Li Dayong said as he picked up his wine glass and said to Li Baoyu, "I'll go right away, and you can go after two minutes."
"I'll go too." Li Ruhai reached out to touch the wine bottle with a smile, but Lin Xiangshun slapped his hand away.
"You deserve a beating!" Lin Xiangshun glared at Li Ruhai, then took the cup and rushed to help with Li Dayong.
As soon as the wine blocker came on stage, the workers' drinking atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.
Zhao Jun, who had nothing to do at the time, took Ma Ling and Wang Meilan to entertain the guests from her mother's family and some of his own friends.
Zhao Jun doesn't drink, but at some point, Zhang Yuanmin came up to him.
When they arrived at the table where the four members of the Shao family were having dinner, Zhao Jun stepped forward and bent down between Shao Yunjin and Shao Tianpeng, and asked, "Grandpa, Mr. Shao, is the food okay?"
"Okay, good!" Shao Yunjin and Shao Tianpeng nodded repeatedly, and Shao Tianpeng pointed at the Three Immortals and said to Zhao Jun: "This dish is good, and it's well cooked. Not only is it mushy, but the venison is not tough at all."
“I call this the Three Immortals of Earth.” As a Hu Zi who was once supported by Wang Dabazhang, Shao Yunjin should have eaten or seen this dish.
Hearing him reveal the name of the dish, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Yes, old man, you can always bite it, right?"
After the Chinese New Year, Lao Huzi will be 88 years old. In this age, this age is considered a long life. Even if Lao Huzi takes good care of himself, few people have their teeth trimmed these days. At this age, his teeth must be useless.
"Yes!" Shao Yunjin nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are several dishes here, and I like them all."
"Okay, eat more as you get older." After saying this, Zhao Jun called Shao Zhiqiang, Shao Jun, Song Changhai and Song Gang.
Everyone knew that Zhao Jun didn't drink, so it was Zhang Yuanmin's turn to come on stage.
When visiting Qiaotou Village last year, Zhang Yuanmin had brought Shao Jun out of the mountains in the snow. The Shao family has been a single-line family for four generations, so the Shao family is very grateful for Zhang Yuanmin's kindness.
Shao Zhiqiang and Shao Jun raised their glasses and drank with Zhang Yuanmin. Seeing this, Xie Zhong and Xie Chen, who were standing beside them, stood up and drank two glasses on behalf of Zhao Jun and the Song father and son.
No wonder Chu Anmin couldn’t find Old Mrs. Chu. After she was called out of the house by Xie Sun, she sat with the Xie family.
There are eight people in the Xie family, young and old, plus Old Mrs. Chu and Zhou Shujuan, so there are exactly ten people at one table.
This whole morning, Old Mrs. Chu's mouth was busy. She was either chatting with others or chatting with Jie Sun.
They had eaten two large meals with all their might before, but now they were no longer able to keep up the momentum for the third large meal.
But this is normal. For two people, the staple food for each person is three steamed buns and a bowl of rice. You have to know that Ma Ling cannot eat all that in one day.
The two of them slurped up a lot of meat and shrimp. If they could eat more, they would be real gluttons!
But the two of them did not eat nothing at the table. They only picked out the ones they particularly liked and took one or two bites.
But even so, it is already the last gasp of a spent force.
"Oh! I'm old!" Looking at the table full of delicious food, Old Mrs. Chu sighed in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh that if she were young, she would have no problem hugging it again.
There was a fourth banquet at two o'clock in the afternoon, but before that banquet started, Chu Anmin married Lord Zhao, and their family had to go back.
So Old Lady Chu knew that she wouldn't even have the chance to sit at the table for the fourth banquet.
With a trace of reluctance, Old Mrs. Chu picked up the chopsticks and prepared to take another bite of the icy white meat.
At this time, Xie Hua's child Sun Jiahui asked Xie Sun: "Grandma, why don't you eat?"
The little boy is twelve years old this year. In his memory, his grandmother has never been so quiet when seeing delicious food.
"Huh?" Mrs. Xie Sun was startled when she heard that. She passed the sweet and sour pork she had just picked up for herself to eat to Sun Jiahui's bowl and said with a smile, "Grandma was so busy picking food for you that she didn't pay attention to herself, haha. Come on, eat, my great grandson. Grandma is happier watching you eat than I am eating by myself."
After all, Sun Jiahui was still young, and he actually believed and understood what Sun said.
Hearing this, Xie Yingming couldn't help but look at Xie Sunshi and said, "Grandma, Ruhai said you've already eaten twice."
"I...this brat!" It was unclear whether Xie Sun was talking about Li Ruhai or Xie Yingming.
When Old Lady Chu, who was standing by, heard Jie Yingming's words, she retracted the chopsticks she had just stretched out.
But before she could eat the crispy white meat, Old Mrs. Chu always felt like something was missing.
Old Mrs. Chu's loss did not affect the festive atmosphere in the Zhao family greenhouse at all.
At the same time, in the east room of the Zhao family's new house, on the wooden table under the kang against the east wall, the phone kept ringing, but no one answered it.
"Fuck!" When he once again heard the operator tell him that the call could not be connected, Zhang Shaowen, the village chief of Yushu Township, angrily threw the microphone on the table.
Although he was the chief and deputy chief, Zhang Shaowen was well-known for his power in Yushu Township. Deputy chief Zou Yunchuan didn't dare to say a word when he saw this.
But at this time, there were only the two of them in the room. He didn't say anything. Zhang Shaowen also looked at Zou Yunchuan and said, "Come on, let's go to Xishantun!"
As he spoke, Zhang Shaowen picked up the hat on the corner of the table and put it on his head, then added: "Let me see what the hell that bitch village chief is doing. She didn't answer the phone! She didn't answer the phone!"
At this point, Zhang Shaowen waved his hands angrily and said, "If she doesn't answer, why is she calling?"
Zou Yunchuan did not say anything and followed Zhang Shaowen out. After leaving the house, Zou Yunchuan called two clerks, Wang and Liu.
There were definitely no cars in the village, so Zhang Shaowen asked clerk Liu to ride a bicycle while he sat on the back seat.
Before they could set off, a jeep stopped in front of Zhang Shaowen.
Then, a man got out of the cab and said to Zhang Shaowen, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Hey! Jingye, why are you back?" Zhang Shaowen took a look and found that the man was his son Zhang Jingye.
While the father and son were talking, a person got out of the passenger seat. It was Zhang Shaowen's daughter-in-law.
Today is March 1988, 3, the third day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Sunday.
Zhang Jingye works in the tax department of Daohua County. He came back to visit his parents on the weekend. It was not easy to make the trip with two children, so Zhang Jingye borrowed a car from his comrades.
But at this time, Zhang Shaowen said to Zhang Jingye: "Jingye, drive quickly and take us to Yong'an."
Two minutes later, Zhang Jingye's wife was standing on the roadside with her two children, carrying large and small bags, and she was speechless watching the car going away.
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Zhao family's third banquet was still in progress.
This was the longest meal we've ever had. Nowadays people eat fast and leave quickly after finishing their meal.
Of course, this was mainly because the forest rangers in the first group and the women and children in the second group did not drink, while the workers in the third group drank heavily with the host.
Zhao Youcai was also happy, no matter how he complained about Wang Meilan's squandering of money. But when these twenty dishes were placed on the table, and he heard the endless praise from his long-time colleague, Zhao Youcai also felt elated.
At this time, 58 households and 272 people in Xishantun were setting out on the road to Yong'antun in a planned and organized manner.
Today is the wedding day of the village chief’s son. Every household in Xishan Village has written gift bills to Wang Meilan, and no one should be left out of the banquet!
With the elderly and children carrying along, the team inevitably moved a little slower.
At 1:05 p.m., not long after the people from Xishantun left, a jeep drove into Xishantun.
In the jeep sat Zhang Shaowen and his son, deputy village chief Zou Yunchuan and two clerks.
As soon as they entered the village, the five people in the car felt the weirdness of the village.
It's March 20th, and it's already warm. Noon is the time of the day when the temperature is highest. Right now the temperature outside is around ten degrees above zero.
At this time, shouldn't there be no one around? If the adults don't come out, the children have to come out to play too!
But in the huge Xishan Village, there was not a single person in sight as the jeep drove along.
Not only that, the whole village was quiet.
There is no way, Xishan Village is poor. If you are poor, there is no need to keep dogs, because no one will steal them.
There were some poultry in the village, but due to special circumstances today, no one was allowed to stay in the village, so everyone drove the chickens, ducks and geese back to the pen and locked them up.
Geese won't make random calls if they don't see anything strange, but hens may cluck twice after they lay eggs in the morning.
It is afternoon now, and the hens have finished laying eggs. So as long as there is no rooster crowing, Xishan Village is deserted.
"Oh my god!" Zhang Jingye, who was driving, looked out the window and exclaimed, "Are they from the village?"
"Stop! Stop!" Zhang Shaowen asked Zhang Jingye to stop the car, and then the five people got out and looked for people in the village separately.
They searched a few houses and then stopped. Because every house had its tent doors closed, no one came out even when they stood at the door and called out.
After several people gathered together, Zhang Shaowen asked the people around him: "Where are these people doing?"
"Oh!" At this moment, clerk Liu suddenly remembered something and said, "They are all working for their village chief, right?"
"Work?" Zhang Shaowen's eyes widened, and he heard Clerk Liu say, "Before they selected the village cadres, I came and heard them mention that the female village chief wanted them all to go to her house to work."
Zhang Shaowen was furious when he heard this and said, "Isn't this outrageous? You've just become the village chief and you're already harming the people?"
"Isn't it possible?" Zhang Jingye questioned, "Then...if the adults are working, should the children go too?"
"Child, help me!" Zhang Shaowen said unhappily, "You are enjoying a good life. When I was a kid, I carried a big basket on my back."
After saying this, Zhang Shaowen felt that he had gone off topic and immediately cursed: "Damn it, this is too outrageous, I'm going to punish her!"
As he spoke, Zhang Shaowen looked at Clerk Liu and asked, "Where is the village head's home?"
"In Yong'an." Clerk Liu said so. Zhang Shaowen raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the car, saying, "Let's go to her house. I want to see what she wants to do!"
Five people got on the car and headed straight for Yong'antun!
Two minutes before 1:30 in the afternoon, the third banquet at the Zhao family's end was over. Zhao Jun, Ma Ling, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan saw the guests off at the gate. The helpers and kitchen assistants seized every moment to clean up the mess and put away the leftovers.
At the same time, nearly three hundred people swarmed into Yong'an Tun and headed straight for the Zhao family.
As soon as they entered the village, a jeep followed suit.
But unlike the people of Xishantun, Zhang Shaowen and his party did not know where the Zhao family was.
So the people of Xishantun took the small road, while Zhang Shaowen took the main road.
Two hundred people walked along the small path, and it was quite difficult to cross the aisle. Zhang Xinglong also asked everyone to walk together to give the village chief a good reputation, so those who went there first waited in front.
Zhang Shaowen and his group entered the village later, but they drove fast.
Among the five people, except Zhang Jingye, the other four had been to Yong'an, and they all knew where the Yong'an garrison was.
But when the jeep arrived at the village, they found that the gate was locked.
"What a fucking day!" Zhang Shaowen said angrily, "I don't want to do this anymore!"
As he spoke, Zhang Shaowen waved his hand at Zhang Jingye and said, "Ask someone where the woman's village chief's home is."
Zhang Shaowen started the car and looked for someone in the village, but what they didn't expect was that there was no one outside Yong'an Village at that time.
The gentlemen of Yong'antun had just left, and the women and children had eaten too much at the Zhao family's banquet, and were now lying on the kang at home to digest their food.
The car didn't stop until it saw the three people.
The car stopped beside them, and Zhang Laibao, who had just changed his clothes, subconsciously hid behind Xu Meihua and Zhang Laifa.
Zhang Laibao burst into tears after being bullied by Shao Jun. Xu Meihua was furious. After changing Zhang Laibao's clothes, she took the two children out to settle accounts with Shao Jun.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I ran into Zhang Shaowen and his group.
"Hey? I want to ask for help." Zhang Shaowen pushed open the car window and asked the mother and her two children, "Wang...what happened?"
"Wang Meilan!" Zou Yunchuan answered, and Zhang Shaowen said, "Yes, which way is Wang Meilan's house?"
Zhang Laibao subconsciously raised his hand and pointed south when he heard this, saying, "Go that way, and then turn east when you see the big willow tree. Keep going and see who has a big lantern hanging on their door. That's it!"
Xu Meihua and Zhang Laifa: "..."
Both mother and daughter were speechless at Zhang Laibao's behavior. At this time, when you are like this, you are still giving people blind directions?
But at this moment, there was a loud noise not far away. Zhang Laibao took two quick steps, bent down, and looked to the west, and was immediately startled.
I saw a huge crowd coming from the west, and I don’t know how many people were coming.
Three people in a car are somewhat conspicuous on the road, but the key point is that they are blocking the road.
Therefore, the leaders of the crowd on the road couldn't help but glance at Zhang Laibao and the other two.
As the saying goes: If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
Zhang Laibao, who was being stared at by several people, felt guilty for no apparent reason and blurted out, "What do you do?"
Although they all became directors and team leaders, half a lifetime of hooliganism had not reduced the cowardice in Zhang Xinglong, Tong Youfeng and others.
Facing Zhang Laibao's questioning, Zhang Xinglong and Tong Youfeng said nothing. But at this moment, Wu Dalin stepped forward and proudly responded to Zhang Laibao: "Our village chief's family is getting married, and we are here to attend the wedding!"
"Village chief!" After hearing Wu Dalin's words, before Zhang Laibao could say anything, Zhang Jingye hurriedly got out of the car and asked, "Who is your village chief? Whose family is having a wedding?"
For some unknown reason, Zhang Laifa added, "Old Zhao's family."
At this time, Zhang Xinglong came to his senses and took two steps forward, blocking Wu Dalin behind him, and then said to Zhang Jingye: "Our village chief's surname is not Zhao, but Wang..."
If Zou Yunchuan or the two clerks got off, the people of Xishan Village would recognize them. But at this time, the three were sitting in the back seat. Just now, the people of Xishan Village looked inside the front of the car and saw Zhang Shaowen and his son.
"What do you mean her last name is not Zhao?" At this time, Tong Youfeng pushed Zhang Xinglong away and said, "Have you forgotten? Before we became the village chief, didn't we call her Grandma Zhao?"
"Grandma Zhao?" Hearing this address, Zhang Shaowen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and thought: Our Yushu Township has been liberated for so many years, and there are still people who dare to do this!
At this time, Wu Dalin looked Zhang Jingye up and down and asked, "Are you here to attend the wedding too?"
"Ah!" Zhang Jingye nodded first, and then continued: "This is my first time here, I don't know where his house is..."
Hearing this, Wu Dalin smiled and said, "That's easy. You don't know, but I do."
As he spoke, Wu Dalin raised his hand and pointed to the road ahead, saying, "Keep going east, and you will reach Nha'er not far away."
"Huh?" Zhang Jingye was stunned when he heard this, wondering why what this person said was different from what the person just said?
Just when Zhang Jingye turned around to look for Zhang Laibao, he saw "a big duck" swaying away, leaving Xu Meihua and Zhang Lai standing there in a daze.
Xu Meihua and Zhang Laifa: "..."
Before ten o'clock, I finally finished it, and it's still 5,000 words. I will update it around twelve o'clock tonight. I'm going out for a massage.
