Chapter 1597: The beloved Captain Wang is surprised and frightened by Li Baoyu

Chapter 1597: The beloved Captain Wang is surprised and frightened by Li Baoyu

Although their new village chief did not even intend to leave them wild vegetables, the people in Xishan Village felt that Wang Meilan was a good village chief.

No matter what Wang Meilan’s plan is, the people of Xishantun can make money because of her, and this cannot be faked.

As long as you have money, what's wrong with eating salty noodles mixed with porridge?

At least the whole family can have enough to eat. In the past, even when there were plenty of pickles and wild vegetables, we still couldn’t have enough to eat!

Amid the mixed emotions of the people of Xishantun, Wang Meilan continued her inaugural speech.

Next, Wang Meilan waved her hand and promised the people of Xishan Village that she, Wang Meilan, would pay for a series of things, including building a village headquarters, installing telephones, and installing radio speakers.

Although Wang Meilan's decision was expensive, it greatly encouraged the people of Xishantun.

The new village chief is good. Everyone makes money, but she is responsible for spending money. Fortunately, those two people were not chosen, otherwise everyone would have to pay for these things.

At this time, Zhang Xinglong and Tong Youfeng no longer had the idea of ​​becoming village heads. They only wanted to be a public opinion poll director or a militia captain.

But in Wang Meilan's eyes, the two minor officials were not as important as the director of women's affairs. Wang Meilan wanted to talk about the important things first, so she talked about the issue of family planning.

Even though the hooligans were illiterate, this problem was nationwide and they knew everything about it. It was just that they didn’t have a hukou before, so this problem didn’t apply to them.

Wang Meilan did not hide anything. She told these people exactly what Clerk Liu had said to her.

After she finished speaking, Wang Meilan concluded: "We can't go against the country. If we want to have a baby, we have to be willing to pay the fine. Four hundred and fifty yuan is not a small amount. Let's do it accordingly."

Four hundred and fifty yuan was quite frightening to the hooligans. Although every household in Xishantun had made money in the past two months, four hundred and fifty yuan was still enough to bankrupt more than half of them.

So, when Wang Meilan finished speaking, someone in the crowd said, "Captain, what should we do if we don't have money?"

"If you don't have money, then earn it." Wang Meilan said with a smile, "I'll find work for you. It's no problem for you to take one or two more jobs."

After hearing what Wang Meilan said, the people of Xishan Village had mixed feelings. They believed that Wang Meilan was not deceiving them, but no one was willing to pay a fine for the money they had worked so hard to earn.

"I was watching TV recently, and I heard them say that." Wang Meilan added, "This matter is not about one or two people. The fines imposed by Yong'an are considered small. Whether to give birth or not is up to you to decide."

"Oh!" Wu Dalin raised his arm in the crowd in response to Wang Meilan's words, saying, "Anyone who becomes the village chief should do this! We are lucky to have Grandma Zhao as our village chief!"

This was true, and it attracted many people to agree. But as a few people started to discuss, Wu Dalin's wife Lin Wenqin shouted, "If you really want to give birth, then don't register it first. If not, you can go live with the hooligans nearby and come back after giving birth."

Lin Wenqin's words were a good idea, and for a moment everyone stopped talking about this matter.

Seeing this, Wang Meilan couldn't help but look up to Wu Dalin and Lin Wenqin.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xinglong was worried that Wang Meilan would appoint Wu Dalin as the director of the poll.

Wang Meilan really had that idea. Although they didn't meet much, she had already seen it. Zhang Xinglong was a slippery old man and was not as supportive of her work as Wu Dalin.

But then she thought, Zhang Xinglong is so old, and still running around for Xishantun affairs, so Wang Meilan decided to give him another chance.

However, when Wang Meilan proposed to elect the director of the polls and the captain of the militia, someone shouted, "Village leader, just make the decision. Don't waste your time."

"Is that possible? Don't we have to choose?" Wang Meilan seemed to have forgotten that she had just decided on the director of women's affairs with just one sentence.

"Okay, why not?" Wu Dalin said, "You decide who will be the village chief, and that's who we choose!"

"Well... okay then." Wang Meilan said, looking at Zhang Xinglong and Tong Youfeng standing beside her.

Zhang and Tong smiled instantly and nodded happily to Wang Meilan.

"Master Zhang." Wang Meilan pointed to Zhang Xinglong and said, "You will be the director of the public opinion survey. If there are any conflicts in our village in the future, you will help to mediate and adjust."

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Xinglong nodded repeatedly and leaned forward, saying, "Captain, I will do my job well!"

Wang Meilan smiled, and then said to Tong Youfeng: "Master Tong, then you can be the captain of the militia."

"Okay, thank you, village chief." Tong Youfeng agreed just as readily. But after agreeing, Tong Youfeng asked Wang Meilan, "Village chief, do the village security guards and militiamen have to have guns?"

"Well..." Wang Meilan squinted her eyes and said, "Captain Tong, you... go to the township tomorrow and report yourself, Master Zhang, and Director Xiaolan. Then ask the township and see what they say."

"Hey, I understand, Captain." Tong Youfeng said so, and Zhang Xinglong followed up with: "Captain, I'll go too."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was startled, then said, "If you want to go, go ahead."

As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, she saw Qin Guangquan said to Zhang Xinglong: "Uncle Zhang, I will take your place in the village chief's job!"

"If you want to go, go ahead." Zhang Xinglong also said this, and Qin Guangquan was very happy to hear him say this. In the future, all the wild vegetables will be sold for money, and the family will have to earn more money to buy meat.

In contrast to Qin Guangquan's happiness were Zhang Xinglong's family, especially Zhang Xinglong's son Zhang Guoming.

When Wang Meilan was recruiting, Zhang Guoming almost fought hard to get a quota for his father. Unexpectedly, his father gave the quota to someone else.

It's enough that Tong Youfeng is going to the village. Why are you showing off like that?

That's called five pounds of wild boar meat!

……

Yong'an Tun, Zhao family.

It was only noon and several dishes were already served on the tables in the east and west rooms.

The braised horse ribs are cooked like hand-held meat. Mountain pepper and salt are added during the braising process, and the flavor is stewed into the meat. There is no need to dip it in chives or anything like that. It is very satisfying to hold the ribs on a stick and eat the meat in big mouthfuls.

Braised horsetail is a delicious dish. Horsetail is made up of living meat, and the meat becomes soft, tender and fragrant when braised.

The next piece of fresh meat is horse neck. After blanching it together with the spareribs, take it out, separate the meat and stir-fry it with green onions in a pan.

In addition to these three main dishes, the rest are appetizers. Fried shrimp chips, fried peanuts, canned food platter, a total of six dishes, and the main course is horse meat steamed dumplings.

We were in a hurry at noon and Wang Meilan was not there, so we didn't have time to cook too many dishes.

Horse meat is thicker and not as good as beef, mutton, or Wang Meilan's favorite donkey meat. But the Zhao family only picked good meat and it tasted good.

Just as the dishes were being served, Zhang Yuanmin and his wife came back. In the morning, Zhang Yuanmin, acting like a bully, took Xing San to Zhang Laibao's house to ask for the dog, and Zhang Laibao and Xu Meihua made them cry.

The mother and daughter were really wronged this time. They really didn't hide Zhang Yuanmin's dog.

Killing is not the right thing to do. Seeing that Zhang Laifa was crying, Zhang Yuanmin called Xing San and Li Dayong to come out.

Or rather, don't get a dog easily, because it's hard to deal with the relationship once you develop feelings for it.

Zhang Yuanmin and Yang Yufeng couldn't stay at home, so the couple ran to the outskirts of the village to look for the dog.

It was noon when the couple came back and found that the dog had also returned.

Not only the couple were happy, but little Lingling, who came back from school for lunch at noon, was also happy.

But at this time, Zhao Youcai frowned.

It's already this late and his wife hasn't come back yet.

Before Zhao Youcai could say anything, Zhao Ling, who was carrying dumplings to the table, muttered, "When will my sister and her family be back?"

"Oh my!" Zhao Youcai sighed and said, "Could it be that he was not selected again?"

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Wang Qiang glared at Zhao Youcai in dissatisfaction and said, "They went to find my sister, and they just wanted her to be the village chief."

"That's right." Li Dazhi echoed, and then smiled at Zhao Youcai, "My lady is the village chief, and you have become a cadre's family member."

"What does it matter if I'm a cadre's family member or not?" Zhao Youcai said indifferently, "I don't care about that stuff!"

Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Youcai without saying anything. When he first learned that Wang Meilan was going to Xishantun to run for village chief, Zhao Jun was so shocked by the news that he was speechless for a long time.

But Zhao Jun did not object to Wang Meilan's election. Zhao Jun's expectation for his mother was simple, that is, she could be healthy and happy.

"You are such a jerk!" At this time, Huang Gui, who had drunk a sip of wine, teased Zhao Youcai, saying, "You failed to make him a cadre's family member, but now that he has made you a cadre's family member, you should be secretly happy."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Zhao Youcai pulled the corner of his mouth, picked up a horse rib with his chopsticks, put it in Huang Gui's bowl, and said, "Eat the horse meat you killed!"

"Just eat it!" Huang Gui had lost his resistance after being reminded so many times by Zhao Youcai. He picked up the horse ribs and started chewing on them. After one bite, he felt that the taste was really good.

By the time the women and children in the east room had finished their meal, Wang Meilan and her group had not returned yet.

When the men in the west room finished drinking, it was already past two in the afternoon, and Wang Meilan hadn't come back yet. If Zhao Jun hadn't known that Lin Xiangshun and Zhao Weipeng had gone with Wang Meilan, he would have gone there long ago.

Huang Gui, who had eaten and drunk his fill, prepared to leave. Before leaving, several of them had another argument with the Zhao army.

They were arguing about how to divide the gallbladder of a black bear and how much compensation Huang Gui should pay for killing someone's horse.

Seeing that they had been arguing for nearly twenty minutes, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but intervene.

In the end, as Zhao Youcai said, the price of the bear gall remained at 1,800 yuan, but the Zhao family gang did not share the money, and all the money was given to Huang Gui and the other six.

Then, Huang Gui gave the Zhao family 500 yuan for the horse meat, which meant they took 1,300 yuan. In addition, the dead black bear outside was given to the Zhao family.

According to what Zhao Youcai said, both sides were very happy. Seeing that Huang Gui and the other six had drunk a lot, Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen to drive the big Jiefang to take the six of them back to Yongsheng.

When Jie Chen came back after running a circle, Wang Meilan had not returned yet.

"Oh my!" Xu Chunyan was not only worried about Wang Meilan, she was also worried about her husband. She said, "It's already this late, they haven't eaten yet, they must be hungry, right?"

"What are you hungry for?" Zhao Youcai replied, "Someone must treat them to a meal."

When Zhao Youcai said this, everyone looked at him and heard Zhao Youcai explain: "We are such big garrison commanders, shouldn't they arrange a meal for us?"

Why does this sound so uncomfortable?

"Brother-in-law, the situation in that village is so difficult." Wang Qiang frowned and said, "How can they arrange for us to eat?"

As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, the sound of dogs barking was heard outside the house.

Hearing the excitement hidden in the dog's barking, everyone knew that Wang Meilan had returned.

Zhao Jun got up quickly and went out with Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to greet them. As soon as they left the house and had not yet reached the gate, they saw his mother getting off the jeep with a rosy face.

Seeing Wang Meilan smile before she spoke, Zhao Jun knew that the matter was settled.

The four brothers were all happy for Wang Meilan, and they all surrounded her and led her into the house.

The moment Wang Meilan entered the room, the place was in an uproar. Everyone was saying flattering words, which made Wang Meilan laugh.

"Sister!" At this moment, Zhao Ling asked Wang Meilan with concern: "You haven't eaten yet? Let me go and steam dumplings for you."

"No, no." Wang Meilan quickly pulled Zhao Ling and said with a smile, "We'll finish eating in the village."

"Ouch!" Suddenly, an inappropriate voice sounded, and then Zhao Youcai said, "The village is already in such a difficult situation, and you still let them arrange meals for you?"

Wang Qiang glared at Zhao Youcai when he heard this. Then, Zhao Weipeng smiled and said to Zhao Youcai, "One family insisted on preparing a meal and asked us to go over and eat."

"What did I give you to eat?" Li Dayong asked. He didn't dare to let his elder brother talk anymore. If his elder brother kept talking nonsense, he would be punished when no one was around.

"We ate sorghum rice porridge." Zhao Weipeng said, "and the dish was fried bacon with green onions."

"Oh my!" Zhao Jun was surprised and said, "The food standard is not low!"

This meal is a reminder of the good old days for the Zhao family, but it is like the New Year celebration for the ruffian's family.

"Oh my god!" Zhao Youcai said sarcastically, "After I arrange this meal for you, won't his family go hungry?"

Here, "duanduner" means running out of food.

"Is that possible?" Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "In the end, there were 15 or 16 kilograms of extra horse meat, and I left it all for his family."

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Weipeng, who said, "Brother, you don't know, they are very respectful to my sister-in-law. You can see that the family is really in trouble. In order to entertain us, they used pickled vegetables to exchange for sorghum rice from every household in the village. They fried the meat, and a small helmet was full of meat."

"Pickled vegetables?" Zhao Youcai frowned, keenly grasping the key point. At this time, Lin Xiangshun echoed: "Yeah, that guy, I was moved."

After hearing what Lin Xiangshun said, Jin Xiaomei nodded, and Li Ruhai said, "The fried meat is quite fragrant."

……

Three people are full and two are asleep, life is good!

Wang Meilan came back, and everyone was relieved. While the women were peeling the bear and cutting the meat, the men took a nap in the west room of Zhao and Li's houses.

Li Dayong didn't want to go back to his own home, but insisted on staying in the west room of Zhao's house. Zhao Jun, with Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen, Zhao Jinhui, followed Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai to the Li's house.

Before they lay down, Jin Xiaomei heated the kang for them. A warm kang made them feel comfortable.

Zhao Jun had just fallen asleep when he heard Li Baoyu scream.

When Zhao Jun opened his eyes, he saw Li Baoyu, who was sleeping next to him, with his eyes closed and a look of pain on his face!

"It's bad!" Zhao Jun thought to himself when he saw this.
