Chapter 1596: Men work for the Zhao family and women raise pigs for the Zhao family

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

More than three months ago, Wang Meilan ran for the position of women's director in Yong'antun, but was defeated miserably.

And today, Wang Meilan swept away two "powerful enemies" and was unsurprisingly elected as the first head of Xishantun.

At this time, Wang Meilan had put aside her past frustration and was about to give her inaugural speech when the two clerks came back.

"Director Wang," said Clerk Liu apologetically, "I was in such a hurry that I forgot to tell you a few things."

"What's going on?" Wang Meilan asked, and clerk Liu whispered, "Can we talk for a moment?"

"Ah." Upon hearing this, Wang Meilan turned around and waved to her "subjects," saying, "Wait for me for two minutes."

The horse meat hasn't been distributed yet, and those people can wait even for two hours.

Just like that, Wang Meilan walked aside with the two clerks and listened to Clerk Liu's instructions to her, "We are in a hurry to go back, and after that...you can choose the women's director, poll director, and militia captain of your village."

From this, we can see that Yushu Township does not attach much importance to Xishan Village. Otherwise, the selection of these cadres in the village must be supervised by the villagers.

"Okay." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "I'll hold another meeting for them and choose all three."

"Okay, after you are selected, you will report to the township." Clerk Liu said, "It's normal, every village needs an accountant. Your village...wait for the township to arrange one for you, right?"

"Accountant?" Wang Meilan suddenly thought of the violent young woman who dropped out of school at home, and quickly said, "We have an accountant, so we won't bother the village."

"Hmm?" The two clerks looked at each other. Clerk Wang said in surprise, "Accountant, do you have it?"

"We do." Wang Meilan nodded and smiled, "We can solve it ourselves."

"Okay then." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Clerk Liu said, "Then you can handle the village headquarters and phone calls by yourselves, is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem." Wang Meilan shook her head repeatedly. Today, she came to Xishan Village to be the village chief. Wang Meilan changed into simple clothes and didn't bring any gold bracelets or anything. But Wang Meilan's temperament of a rich person could not be concealed, and her words were full of confidence.

"After the village headquarters is built, go to the township to find Xu Shengli." Clerk Liu continued, "Let him arrange and install a telephone for you."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Wang Meilan was waiting for this.

"Anymore... cough." Clerk Liu cleared his throat and said, "Zou Lizheng wants you to arrest him for the family planning issue. That's all before he got his hukou. After that, he'll be fined if necessary and punished if necessary."

Logically speaking, this is the difficult job.

Nowadays, people in forest areas and rural areas usually turn off the lights and go to bed at seven or eight o'clock. The couple is very busy and has no protective measures, so they may get pregnant easily.

No one cared before, but now family planning has become a top priority. In Daohua and Shanhe, the handling methods are relatively gentle, basically persuasion, education and fines, without demolishing people's houses or anything like that.

In comparison, the work in Yongan Forest District is relatively easy to do, because most of the people involved are forestry workers, and they are very happy to pay the fines because of work restrictions.

But the people in Xishantun have no jobs and have only had enough food for a few days. As the saying goes, when you are warm and well fed, you want sex. They insist on having children but have no money. What can you do? Can you force the whole family to death?

At this moment, Wang Meilan didn't seem to realize this problem. She just smiled and said, "Okay, I know."

After hearing Wang Meilan's agreement, the two clerks said a few polite words, then rode away on their bicycles.

After they left, Wang Meilan walked back with a smile on her face. Then she heard Li Ruhai saying, "Our village chief is back. Everyone, applaud and welcome him!"

The hooligans really gave Li Ruhai face and applauded loudly.

Wang Meilan is the village head and the director of public security. You can call her village head or Director Wang.

Wang Meilan gave Li Ruhai an appreciative look, then raised her hand to suppress the applause.

She held meetings at home in the same way, but the meeting at home was obviously not as grand and grand as this one.

After the applause died down, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "I have been to this village before. But when I come again today, we are one of the people here."

As she spoke, Wang Meilan waved her hand at Li Ruhai, meaning that he didn't need to encourage these people to applaud.

Then, Wang Meilan added: "Today is my first day joining our Xishantun family. I came here with nothing."

At this point, Wang Meilan raised her hand and pointed to the big willow tree not far away and said, "We don't have much or little. There are 58 households in Xishan Village. My family will give five catties of horse meat."

When she said the last two words "horse meat", Wang Meilan waved her hand forward.

boom!

As Wang Meilan slapped her, all 272 people in Xishan were shocked!

No one expected that Village Chief Wang would be so generous. They thought it would be good if a family could give two kilograms of meat, but they didn't expect Wang Meilan to give five kilograms!

Under the big willow tree, Zhao Weipeng leaned his shoulder against the tree, cigarette in his mouth, and said to Lin Xiangshun: "Look at your aunt's public sentiment."

"Yeah!" Lin Xiangshun pouted and said, "I'll choose anyone who gives me five pounds of horse meat."

Fifty-eight households, can each household weigh five catties so accurately? If the scale is raised, the total weight will be more than three hundred catties of meat.

How much does more than 300 kilograms of horse meat cost?

Lin Xiangshun felt heartbroken!

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Weipeng pointed at the cheering crowd and smiled. He had to raise his voice to say to Lin Xiangshun: "We are short of people for freight loading and unloading. Isn't this inappropriate?"

As he spoke, Zhao Weipeng bumped Lin Xiangshun with his shoulder, and Lin Xiangshun almost fell over due to his body crashing.

Zhao Weipeng grabbed Lin Xiangshun and said to him, "We still need to raise wild boars in the mountains. If you don't find someone to feed the pigs for us, who will do it when the time comes?"

Hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, Lin Xiangshun squinted his eyes and said, "How can I do that?"

"That's it." Zhao Weipeng laughed and said, "What do you call it? It means that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, and you can't catch a gangster without sacrificing horse meat."

"Uncle Zhao!" Lin Xiangshun corrected him immediately after hearing this: "He is a gangster, not a gangster."

"Oh, I always say it wrong." Zhao Weipeng laughed and made excuses for himself, saying, "There are no hooligans over there, but there are hooligans."

Lin Xiangshun smiled and said nothing. At this time, Zhao Weipeng said, "Shunzi, I remembered something."

"What's the matter, Uncle Zhao?" Lin Xiangshun asked. Zhao Weipeng said, "There are no wild boars where we live, but there are pheasants. I remember when I was as old as Ruhai, I used a slingshot to shoot pheasants and broke the arm of a pheasant.

I chased it and took it home, thinking of keeping it in a cage. Alas, the pheasant kept banging against the cage. Not only did it knock all the hair off its head, but it also broke its scalp and it was bleeding!"

"That's it." Seeing Zhao Weipeng's surprised look, Lin Xiangshun said with a smile, "Wild boars are like that, too."

If the cats and dogs at home are kept free, they will not accept being caged up all of a sudden. Besides, wild animals are wild at heart.

After being locked in a cage, the beast will definitely resist. Just like Wandashan No. 1, after being knocked down by the tranquilizer gun, the first thing he did when he woke up was to knock on the cage.

The pheasants Zhao Weipeng mentioned and the wild boars Lin Xiangshun mentioned would also bump into the cages after being put into them. And they didn't bump forward, they bumped upwards.

"Can you raise them?" Zhao Weipeng said, "My father told me the other day that I can't raise them, saying that sparrows don't eat human food."

"Birds are very aggressive, and the wild boar was very hungry. When it saw food, it ate it itself." As Lin Xiangshun said this, his eyes were attracted by Wang Meilan who was not far away.

At this time, Wang Meilan was not in a hurry to distribute the meat. She told the people in Xishantun that everyone should go home first, and then she would take the meat and go from house to house, and check on the situation of each household.

The people of Xishantun not only had no objection to this, but were also looking forward to having Village Chief Wang visit their home.

At this time, Wang Meilan did not mention the construction of the village headquarters, the installation of telephones, or the family planning fines. She only said: "People in our village should have heard that in a few days, the forest area will need workers to load and unload the timber. Well... I will make the decision. Anyone in our village who is willing to go will go when the time comes!"

As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, cheers broke out, and then applause broke out spontaneously without anyone leading the conversation.

"Grandma Zhao! Village Chief! Can we really go?" It was obvious that Wu Dalin was the one asking this question. This man believed in being polite.

"Yes!" Wang Meilan said with a smile, "Those of us who can contribute can form a construction team. If we all go together, we can all get paid and take care of each other."

These days, there seems to be no such term as "contracting team". This is what Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan talked about.

"Village chief!" Zhang Xinglong saw Wang Meilan talking further and further away, so he immediately interrupted her and asked, "Don't we still have to elect the director of the poll and the captain of the militia?"

Unable to become the village chief, Zhang Xinglong wanted to settle for the next best thing and become a poll director. This poll director is responsible for mediating neighborhood disputes and has a general status in the village. But Zhang Xinglong had no choice. He wanted to be the militia captain but knew he could not compete with Tong Youfeng.

"Uncle Zhang!" Before Wang Meilan could say anything, a woman's voice came over: "You've been busy all day, why don't you go home and take a rest? The village chief is talking to us about business, so what does it matter if you are the director of the poll or not?"

"I..." Zhang Xinglong was so angry that his face turned red. He said angrily: "Guangquan's wife, what do you mean by whether you are a minister or not? What's your attitude? Why are you so indifferent?"

It's not just the villagers who didn't elect him, but he's already putting on airs as an official before he even takes office.

Qin Guangquan's wife, Wang Xiaolan, is the only fat woman in Xishan Village. She is a 40-year-old rural woman with a strong body and a fierce personality. She is a bully!

Seeing Wang Xiaolan and Zhang Xinglong arguing, Qin Guangquan quickly grabbed Wang Xiaolan's arm, signaling her not to conflict with Zhang Xinglong.

Wang Xiaolan shrugged her arms vigorously, glared at Zhang Xinglong, and turned to look at Wang Meilan. Wang Xiaolan had already put on a smile and said, "Captain, can we women do the job you just mentioned?"

"That's right, village chief!" At this time, a woman echoed: "We can do the work that men can do!"

"What can you do?" Wang Meilan smiled and waved her hands, saying, "The logs weigh hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Can you do that job?"

When Wang Meilan asked this, the women kept silent. Seeing this, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, the women in our village can all go and raise pigs for me. I won't treat you unfairly."

To these people, raising pigs is not an insult. People look down on people because they have no money, and the hooligans know this best.

"Captain, what are you saying?" Wang Xiaolan asked, "We can't just take your money for nothing. How many pigs can you raise?"

"We'll raise a hundred or eighty of them. We'll decide when the time comes. It's not certain now." Wang Meilan said, looking Wang Xiaolan up and down, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Xiaolan." Wang Xiaolan gave her name, and Wang Meilan was startled when she heard it. Then she smiled and said, "Oh, my name is Wang Meilan. We are just one character apart."

"Not bad at all!" Wang Xiaolan also laughed, and then she heard Wang Meilan say, "Our village needs a women's director, and I think you are suitable."

"Me?" Wang Xiaolan patted her chest and said in surprise, "How can I do that?"

"Oh, Sister Qin, why can't you do this? You are so good!"

"If the village chief wants you to be the leader, you should be the leader."

It seems that Wang Xiaolan is popular in the village and the women all support her.

Wang Meilan was a straightforward person, and she settled the matter with just a wave of her hand.

Then, Wang Meilan continued the previous topic and said, "Let's put the pig raising aside for now. My son can only go to catch piglets after the old sows in the mountains give birth."

Wang Meilan was used to speaking like this at home, and when she said this at this moment, the people in Xishantun were stunned.

People here call buying chicks and goslings "catching chickens" or "catching geese", and buying piglets "catching pigs".

I guess your family catches pigs differently from others, you actually go up to the mountains to catch them. Catching them would be fine, but you also want to raise a hundred or eighty of them?

Everyone in Xishan Village looked at each other, but no one dared to ask. This shows that Wang Meilan, the village chief, has a very high prestige.

Everyone was silent, and Wang Meilan continued, "We women have nothing to do in the next few days, so we can go up the mountain to pick spring fungus, break off old thorny shoots, pull up ferns, etc., and I will collect them all when we are done."

Wang Meilan thought that her decision would be unanimously supported by the people of Xishantun.

But as soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, the place fell into complete silence.

Although the people of Xishantun made money, they were still miserable. After the Chinese New Year, there was no food at home.

Wang Meilan even took away the dried green radishes used to mix with pickles, and now only a few families in Xishantun still have pickled mustard greens.

They cut the mustard greens into strips, and only gave three or five strips to neighbors who came to ask for them. They would not give anything to those who had a bad relationship with them.

Many families would leave this pickled vegetable strip for their children to eat. Some families, who didn't even have pickled vegetables, would just sprinkle some salt into the corn porridge when cooking.

To put it bluntly, this is like sticking dog food in the mouth.

Thinking that there is still a month left before the wild vegetables are harvested, the people of Xishan Village are counting the days. They are just waiting for the wild vegetables to be harvested so that they can have food on their table.

But what was unexpected was that their village chief wanted to collect wild vegetables again. Is this going to kill people?
