Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1585 That person is here

Four Nine Cities.

boom!
"Confused, ridiculous!"

"How could you do such a thing?"

It was already afternoon when Mr. Chen got the news. When the secretary handed the information report to him, Mr. Chen was surprised at first, then disbelieving, and finally turned into horror.

A small thing can often reflect real contradictions.

He knew how much courage it took to kill someone.

And this courage also shows how great the injustice is.

He could even imagine how disappointed the farmers felt when the bags of grain were thrown on the ground.

What was lost was not just a little bit of food, but also the human heart.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pound the table.

My heart is full of haze and a little confused!

He is not someone who sits in the office and is unaware of the sufferings of the world. He even knows better than most people what the situation is in the countryside.

Especially the existence of public surplus grain. Every winter, the data reported from various places stung his eyes.

In other words, the promotion of high-yielding corn in recent years has reduced this number by nearly double digits, but the rest is still heartbreaking.

However, if a country wants to be strong, it must develop industrial power.

If a country wants dignity, it must embark on the road of industrialization.

But industrial development does not happen overnight. Various infrastructures need to be consolidated, and industry must develop step by step.

Development and construction require workers, materials, and contributions.

As a result, hard-working and simple farmers stepped forward. The food they produced with their hard work supplied the labor of urban workers and provided living security.

Food exports are even used to earn supplies to meet the needs of industrial development.

Especially after the withdrawal of the Northern Alliance, the domestic industry fell into a low ebb, and development required more investment, and all of this required the efforts of the majority of farmers.

But this is no reason to enjoy the fruits of their hard work with a clear conscience.

It is not the reason for acting wantonly, blatantly, and trampling on dignity.

On the contrary, they need respect and love more.

Because without their contributions, revolutionary construction would be straw without soil, or pods without roots.

What about industrialization?

That's why he will develop industry and improve agricultural productivity at the same time, so that more people can live a life of adequate food.

Let more people have fish, meat, vegetables and soup on their tables, let more people have solid houses to live in, and be able to wear thick cotton-padded jackets when going out...

But now, some people have forgotten all this.

Some people actually want to think of all this as 'should be' and 'as it should be'.

They only want results and ignore the process, using the method they think is right, hurting the simplest feelings.

All they want is the gourd.

But they forget that when cultivating gourds, who is fertilizing and watering, who is pulling weeds and removing insects, and who is pouring hard work.

They forget that behind their success, there are countless people delivering the saved food in small carts.

When they succeed, they can enjoy the cheers of the people, but no one remembers those who worked behind the scenes.

Their lives are very tenacious, even stronger than grass.

Because I am very hungry, I can eat grass.

But their lives should not be left out in the cold and trampled on like this.

Because they are also human beings!

call…

The pain from his fist helped him regain his composure, but his inner monologue made him feel like there was a suffocation in his chest.

This anger is like a depression. I want to vent it out, but I don't know who to talk to.

He stood up and walked around the office, a look of determination appeared on his face for a long time.

When an official does not make the decision for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Turn around and walk out!
Hongqi Village.

In the yard of Ding's house.

A coffin was parked at the door, and Aunt Wang and a group of women were surrounding it to help.

In the lobby, three children were kneeling on both sides with white cloths on their heads. Beside them were several nephews and nephews of the same family.

Ran Qiuye stayed with Aunt Wang. Since Yang Xiaotao left, she called the Yangjiazhuang brigade headquarters. After knowing what happened, she was worried about it and rode her bicycle over.

It's just that after understanding what happened, I can't help but feel sad.

Then he came to help at home.

Outside the yard!
After Yang Xiaotao and others carried the person back, the Ding family members took over the funeral affairs, and the room was packed with people. In this way, they expressed their inner respect.

When you come, it will be clean.

When I left, the scenery was beautiful.

After learning about Fatty Ding, the whole village fell into grief.

Then, anger.

Maybe it's because things are hurting others, or maybe it's because they are really feeling uncomfortable. People who come here always feel a little depressed.

"You have to help deal with the fat man's matter!"

"We can't let him go in peace!"

In front of all the village elders in Hongqi Village, Mr. Yang said seriously.

No matter what, Fatty Ding has done a lot for the farm over the years.

Due to emotions and reasons, his funeral must be finalized!
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter. If the superiors really want to make this judgment, I will go to the leader, the chief!"

Mr. Yang nodded and did not think Yang Xiaotao was wrong.

Because they themselves don’t think Ding Deliang did anything wrong.

"Also, Fatty's children must not be affected!"

After Mr. Yang finished speaking, the people around him looked stern.

These days, family background and reputation are particularly important.

If someone was born in a bad family, did something evil, and left a bad reputation, the person who dies can ignore it, but the descendants will suffer accordingly.

Especially for children, they cannot lift their heads when they are young, and the key point is that they will not be able to get out of hiding for the rest of their lives.

Yang Xiaotao knew how powerful this was, and he also knew that if judged based on the current facts, it would be very detrimental to Fatty Ding's family. What the grandfather said was to tell Yang Xiaotao that even if he really couldn't deal with the fat man, he still had to protect his child's growth.

But before Yang Xiaotao could speak, the head of Hongqi Village suddenly said, "Old Yang, you don't need to say more about this matter, our village can take good care of their mothers!"

"That's right, we men in Hongqi Village are all smart. If we don't do this kind of thing well, we'll get stabbed in the back!"

"It's just a meal for one person. Everyone has benefited a lot from following Fatty over the years."

"We don't feel ashamed about fat people."

After the village chief finished speaking, everyone immediately shouted, if they ask people from outside the village to help with this kind of thing, where will the faces of the whole village's elders go?

What do the villagers think of their village?

How will young men and women in the village marry in the future?

No one can retreat due to emotion and reason.

The village chief felt happy when he saw everyone talking about unity like this.
She patted her chest and said seriously, "This is settled, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Their home is here, and Hongqi Village is their home!"

Then the village chief looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Don't worry, we will not forgive anyone who dares to say such gossip in the future."

"When the child gets older, Xiao Yang, you are capable, then you can help me!"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Mr. Yang, who nodded.

Obviously he knows the people in this village very well, and the village chief should be an honest person.

"Okay, since you said so, let's do what you said!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement, "As for the children's problem, when they reach the age, they will go to Yangjiazhuang Primary School. Food, clothing, and housing are all free of charge. When they grow up, I will arrange jobs for them!"

After receiving Yang Xiaotao's assurance, the surrounding villagers smiled.

In their opinion, since Yang Xiaotao said this, he must mean what he said.

Just as a few people were discussing the future, a jeep suddenly appeared outside the village.

On the bumpy road, the car undulated from time to time, but it moved quickly.

Tong Xiaolong was vigilant about his surroundings while driving.

When he came out this time, he was the only one accompanying him for protection.

Originally, he wanted to bring a few more people, but the chief said that he came in a private capacity, so what would it be like to bring so many people.

Tong Xiaolong knew the leader's temperament, and since he said so, it would definitely not change.

Enter the back row.

The thin old man has a few more wrinkles on his face, and there are a lot more grays on the tips of his eyebrows.

As the car bumped, I coughed twice from time to time.

Beside him, Mr. Chen had a flash of worry on his face when he heard the cough.

"It's okay for me to come this time, and don't let your body come out!"

"Otherwise, if you go back and let eldest sister know, don't talk about me!"

Mr. Chen seems to be complaining, but in fact he is concerned.

The thin old man shook his head and said, "It's an old habit. It's just like this in winter."

"One is cold and the other is hot, just get over it and you'll be fine!"

"Besides, this is about our credibility. If we don't handle it well, it will be a crisis of confidence."

After saying that, he looked outside the car and said, "Speaking of which, I am very incompetent as a housekeeper!"

"This place is so close to the Forty-Nine City. I have never seen it. Are you a mediocre minister who doesn't know the sufferings of the world?"

Mr. Chen shook his head, then smiled, "If you are mediocre, then what will happen to me!"

After saying that, both of them laughed.

Elder Chen felt the bumps on the road, but his heart moved, "But this road needs to be repaired, otherwise when it gets hot and rains, we won't be able to leave!"

"Well, you're right. Road construction is an important means of communication. You can put this project on the agenda."

"Well, we originally had this plan. Now the output of the chemical plant has increased a lot, and the asphalt from the chemical plant can be used to pave roads. When it gets warm next year, we will start working on it."

Mr. Chen thought about the transportation plan and spoke out, "The plan will extend from Sijiu City to various towns and villages, and then gradually expand to villages to improve the local transportation environment."

"This is very good. It should not only be carried out here in Sijiu City, but also in other large cities and capable towns."

"We can't let roads become a problem for people to travel!"

"Besides, if the country's industrial construction has achieved results, it must be fed back to the farmers, so that they can stand on two legs and stand firm."

Mr. Chen nodded, "We have already made progress in this area, especially the agricultural tools developed by Hongxing Machinery Factory, which have been promoted across the country. Our mechanization is increasing year by year."

"Well, I've also heard that comrades are doing a good job."

The two then focused on the current situation, from road construction to agriculture, but on the lives of farmers.

The time for the two of them has been arranged, and they usually don't have much time to meet each other, so this time they came out to have a chat.

"Chief, we're here!"

The two talked for a while, and the car suddenly stopped, followed by Tong Xiaolong's voice.

The two looked at each other, then nodded and got out of the car.

The two looked around the village and then walked into the village.

At the entrance of the village, someone saw the jeep coming and immediately ran towards the village.

Yang Xiaotao and others were still talking about what was going to happen in the future, when they heard someone say that a jeep was coming outside, and three people got out and walked this way.

Several people looked at each other and knew that the person who might be able to solve the problem was here.

Immediately, under the leadership of the village chief, a group of people walked out.

In their hearts, if they are here to reason, then there is something to be said for it.

But if they are here to cause trouble, they are not easy to deal with.

Just when everyone was halfway through, they saw three people walking forward.

The village chief led the people to stop and looked at the three people approaching, especially the leader. He felt like he had seen them somewhere, but he couldn't remember who they were.

Compared to the hesitation of the village chief and villagers, Yang Xiaotao recognized who it was at a glance.

Whispering to Mr. Yang on the side, Mr. Yang's hand holding the cigarette rod shook, and his face showed surprise. When he looked forward again, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and his face showed surprise.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the crowd and came to the two of them with a serious look on his face, "Hello, two chiefs!"

Then he nodded to Tong Xiaolong.

Seeing the two people arriving, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood the other party's intention.

I also understand that with the arrival of the two of them, this matter has taken a turn for the better.

Even when this person appeared, his attitude was already proven.

And this is also the best way to make up for the rift.
