Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

Xia Shuo rushed to Songlin Village to surround Liu Laogen, not to recover the so-called family planning fine.

Even if Liu Laogen took the initiative to pay the fine, Xia Shuo would not have the guts to collect it.

The reason is very helpless.

Liu Laogen's family gave birth to four children.

At that time, family planning was a big deal.

Due to the poor economic foundation of the country, the population must be controlled in stages. Once the population grows explosively, it is easy for a famine to starve to death. (The experience of those born in the 1s and 70s who both went hungry as children)

In every historical period, there are policies that have to bow to reality. In that era, the country was weak, the people were poor, and there were famines. This was exactly the reality that forced the country to bow its head.

For a country, because it is too poor, it does not dare to let its people have too many children, otherwise, they will not be able to eat.

Therefore, in order to control the explosive growth of the population, the country has to introduce a family planning policy to control the population. However, in fact, in the early stages of formulation of this family planning policy, humane needs have been comprehensively considered.

We must not only enforce the law, but also consider favors.

For example, family planning needs to be implemented, but it will not be a one-size-fits-all approach. In short, people are allowed to have more than one child by default.

However, this acquiescence has limits. Once the bottom line is exceeded, the policy must be strictly implemented.

For example, if you only have one more child, you can be fined.

If there are more than two children, the fine will be doubled.

But if you have more than three children, it is not something that can be settled with a fine. There are limits to family planning fines, and it is impossible to impose unlimited fines. Otherwise, if every family has 3 children, the population will inevitably grow explosively.

Therefore, having more than three children is the bottom line. Once this line is crossed, the policy must be strictly implemented.

Not only the county will conduct assessments, but the city and province will also keep an eye on it. Once this happens, the local family planning office must first be held accountable.

Liu Laogen and his wife gave birth to five daughters. The first one is reasonable, the remaining 1 are illegal.

According to the family planning policy, they are severely over-received households.

……

……

On the way to Songlin Village, Xia Shuo pedaled his bicycle so fast that the wheels were almost smoking. It was like lightning.

He is anxious!

No rush!

He had taken people to Songlin Village several times before, but had never been able to block Liu Laogen and his wife. The couple had been hiding in Tibet all day long, and they were definitely a pair of good guerrilla fighters.

Moreover, these two couples are too prolific, and their backward thinking wants a son too much.

In order to give birth to a boy, she was completely reckless, and now she has given birth to 5 girls, which is a serious family with more than 4 children. However, the two of them want to have another child, and it is said that they are secretly pregnant now.

If there is another baby, it will be the 1th baby.

What is the concept of having six children? I'm afraid it will rank among the top ten in the province among households with more than one child.

So no matter what, Xia Shuo must block Liu Laogen.

But he was not there to collect a fine, but to do work for the couple.

The township station is almost ten miles away from Songlin Village. Xia Shuo worked hard and arrived at the village in only 1 minutes.

The stirrup of the bicycle was almost broken by him.

Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhao who followed him were breathing heavily.

Although the three of them were panting from exhaustion, they did not dare to take a breather. Xia Shuo went straight to the Songlin Village Committee, fearing that someone in the village committee would take advantage of him... or even tip off the extra-birth households.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

When he rushed to the Songlin Village Committee, he happened to see the village's women director holding a small cloth bag and preparing to sneak out.

"Stop, where are you running?"

As the deputy director of the Family Planning Office, Xia Shuo is the leader of women directors in all villages in the township. He shouted and stopped the other party directly.

The women's director was startled and hurriedly tried to hide the small cloth bag. Xia Shuo, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed it in his hand.

When I opened it, I saw, as expected, a pile of baby diapers and 1 yuan in loose bills.

Needless to say, he knew that this was for a woman of childbearing age. Thinking about the families in Songlin Village who had children, Xia Shuo could easily guess who this small cloth bag was for.

Xia Shuo's face was a little ugly, his eyes were fixed on the women's director, and he said in an angry tone: "I have heard rumors a long time ago that you are related to Liu Laogen's daughter-in-law, so every time she avoids being born, you are the one who secretly informs her. But have you ever thought that you are not helping her, on the contrary, you are harming her."

This is the case in this era. There are loopholes in all aspects of grassroots work, and the most difficult one to solve is the human relationship in the village.

For example, the female director of Songlin Village should obviously be responsible for family planning, but because she and Liu Laogen's daughter-in-law are relatives, she secretly leaked information.

Faced with Xia Shuo's questioning, the female director was cowardly and did not dare to speak. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone. She neither defended nor resisted.

But what was annoying was that she took back the small cloth bag and hugged it tightly in her arms. Obviously, she still wanted to give the small cloth bag to Liu Laogen's wife.

Xia Shuo's face turned green with anger, and his tone became even more hateful: "Don't you understand yet? How poor is Liu Laogen's family? He has already given birth to 5 children, how will he raise them if he continues to have more children..."

"Now, please lead me. No matter what today, I must see Liu Laogen and his wife."

"Did you hear me? Lead the way. Immediately. Immediately."

"I can assure you that I am not here to collect fines this time, nor will I arrest people by force, and I will never take away Liu Laogen's wife."

After repeated urging, the female director finally wavered, but her face still showed hesitation.

Xia Shuo had no choice but to adopt a strong tone and deliberately threatened: "I have said all the good things. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me. As the deputy director of the Family Planning Office, I have the right to forcibly stop you from your job... …”

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, he added: "Once you stop doing your job, think about the consequences? As far as I know, the female director can receive a salary of 1 yuan per month. If If you are suspended, the 1 yuan will be gone."

Using wages to scare people is indeed powerful enough.

For a village with a per capita monthly income of less than 1 yuan, a salary income of 20 yuan is definitely a large amount.

The women's director was finally scared, with obvious panic in her voice, and said urgently: "No, no, Director Xiaoxia, please."

In fact, she didn't know that Xia Shuo had no right to suspend her from her job. As a women's director at the village level, only the Songlin Village Committee could suspend her.

Xia Shuo didn't really understand the details here. After all, he had just started working and was not familiar with the grassroots powers.

Although unfamiliar, it does not prevent people from being frightened, and this scare is very effective. The female director was obviously frightened.

"I will lead the way and take you to find..."

"But, I'm not sure if I can find it."

"Director Xia, you should know that Liu Laogen and his wife are so good at hiding. Even though our two families are related, they don't completely believe me."

"So, I'm not sure I can find them."

Facing the women's director's explanation, Xia Shuo understood that she was not lying, but he deliberately kept a cold face and pretended to be angry: "If you don't know where these two are hiding, who are you going to give the little baggage in your arms to?" ? Stop talking nonsense and quickly lead the way."

The women's director looked embarrassed and defended weakly: "I'm just trying my luck to find them, but I really don't know where they are hiding? Director Xiaoxia, I'm really not lying. You have to suspend me." Yes, I must tell the truth..."

Xia Shuo frowned and suddenly looked at the village committee.

He found someone poking his head inside, obviously observing secretly.

Suddenly Xia Shuo got into his trap and deliberately pretended to be angry and said: "Where is your village secretary? Where is the village chief? Come out and let's go to the village to look for him together. If you can't stop Liu Laogen's house today, don't blame me. I will cause trouble for you in family planning work from now on."

That's how it is with grassroots work. Sometimes you have to pretend to be a bit fierce, otherwise you won't be able to suppress these grassroots veterans.

After hearing Xia Shuo's threats and preparing to make things difficult in future work, the secretary and village chief who were hiding not far away all ran out and greeted Xia Shuo with sarcastic faces: "Director Xia is here. Are you going to eat in the village today? How about we stew a chicken for lunch and have some drinks..."

Xia Shuo continued to pretend to be angry and interrupted directly: "If you want to keep me for dinner, you can help me handle the matter first. I will say the ugly things first. I will not give up until I achieve my goal today."

Seeing that he was angry, the secretary of Songlin Village could only nod his head and said: "Okay, okay, do as you say, let's go arrest the person together."

Xia Shuo frowned and reminded him of his misunderstanding: "I'm not arresting people, I'm looking for them. I'm here mainly to enlighten Liu Laogen's family. I have no intention of forcibly taking his wife back to the family planning office."

The secretary of Songlin Village quickly nodded again, turned around and exchanged glances with several people from the village committee, and said loudly: "Have you heard this? Go find someone immediately."

The village committee members agreed and ran out pretending to be very busy.

But looking at the backs of these people running outside, Xia Shuo knew that they would definitely not really look for anyone. There was no way. People in the village always protect their own people. The reason why many birth parents are able to hide is because of the grassroots level in the village. Officials tip off.

So he directly stretched out his hand, firmly grasped the hand of the women's director, and said deliberately and seriously: "They may look for it, but they may not find it, so you still have to lead the way and take us to find it ourselves..."

Seeing Xia Shuo being so determined, the female director knew that she would not be able to escape today. In desperation, she sighed and said bitterly: "Director Xiao Xia, I will take you there."

As expected, the women's director knew where Liu Laogen's family was hiding.

……

A moment later, in the village.

After passing through twists and turns of the road, passing through the narrow alleys, finally at a place, the women's director and Xia Shuo and the other two stopped.

Looking at the place in front of them, Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhao reacted immediately. They quickly approached Xia Shuo and lowered their voices to report: "This is a cellar for overwintering. It is mainly used to store sweet potatoes. However, it is summer now..."

In summer, cellars are generally abandoned.

Obviously, Liu Laogen's family was hiding in the cellar.

Xia Shuo sighed and walked up to the entrance of the cellar in person. He bent down slightly and lifted the lid of the cellar.

The next moment, frightened screams came from the cellar.

The next moment, Xia Shuo stood in front of the cellar with a stunned look on his face.

What a miserable scene this is...

In the dimly lit cellar, Liu Laogen and his family were huddled together. Because the space in the cellar was too small and there were too many people hiding, the family was almost huddled together, suffering in the stuffy environment. Bitter support.

Liu Laogen and his wife both looked pale.

Five little girls in ragged clothes were all trembling with fear.

They were sallow and skinny, so thin that it was unbearable to look at them. Even one of the little girls was so thin that she looked like skin and bones. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve had a full meal, so I’m so thin...

The family of seven huddled in the cellar, their bodies soaked with sweat. They were obviously showing signs of heat stroke and were gasping for air.

The scene before me is not the most heartbreaking.

What is truly poignant is the next scene.

I saw Liu Laogen's daughter-in-law, with a big belly, maybe because of fear, maybe because of habit, suddenly she knelt down directly in the cellar and cried loudly to Xia Shuo: "Please, please, don't arrest me." I'm leaving, don't catch me and kill the doll."

As soon as the mother-in-law cried, the five little girls also cried, and suddenly the pitiful cries resounded throughout the narrow cellar.

Liu Laogen's wife kept kowtowing, with fear and helplessness on her face, and kept pleading: "Please, I beg you, I am pregnant with a boy this time, I am really pregnant with a boy this time... Please Don’t catch me and take me away, please don’t catch me and kill me.”

Women and children cried and begged, but Liu Laogen, a man, stared at Xia Shuo. What a pair of eyes he had, filled with fear and hatred. It seemed that as long as Xia Shuo said the word "arrest", this man would Will rush out and fight Xia Shuo.

The women's director was afraid of causing danger, so she quickly and cautiously approached Xia Shuo, and helped to put in a good word in a low voice: "Director Xiao Xia, she didn't lie to you. This time, she is really pregnant with a boy. She went to the city specifically to check, and she asked me to do so. It’s very important to check.”

The women's director paused while speaking, and then spoke in a low voice again, with a bitter tone: "She has given birth to five daughters, and she is just looking forward to giving birth to a son this time. If she is forcibly aborted, I'm worried... …”

As for what she was worried about, the women's director didn't elaborate further.

However, Xia Shuo can understand.

At this moment, Xia Shuo really couldn't bear it.

He looked at the family in the cellar and the five little girls with sallow faces and skinny muscles. After a long while, he sighed helplessly.

"Come out first, don't hide inside anymore."

"Hiding is not an option!"

"Look at your family, what kind of sin has it suffered?"

"Is having a son really that important?"

"All six children suffered..."

Xia Shuo's tone was gentle, and he wanted to persuade the other party to abort the pregnancy, but when he saw Liu Laogen's wife with a pregnant belly, struggling to kneel on the ground and begging, the softness in his heart was finally touched. .

"Maybe I'm not suitable to be a family planning worker."

Xia Shuo sighed.

He turned around slowly and made his choice.

Although he successfully blocked Liu Laogen's wife today, he chose to pretend not to see the pregnant woman.

He silently reached into his arms, took out 200 yuan, and gently placed it at the entrance of the cellar.

"I have just started working and my first month's salary has not yet been paid. When I came to Qingshan Township, I didn't have much money with me."

"I'll give this money to you. Buy some food, drink, and clothes for the children..."

"Look at your children. How thin are they?"

"Listen to my advice and don't have another baby after this one. It's too hard and tiring to feed 1 children. The most important thing is that the children will suffer too much. Alas!"

After another long sigh, Xia Shuo silently walked away.

Looking at Xia Shuo's leaving figure, the female director was in a daze, but the villagers who came after hearing the news looked at the 200 yuan on the ground.

Not only did they not pay fines, they even provided financial support to households with more than one child...

After a long time, a woman from an unknown family said softly: "This Director Xia is a good cadre."

At the entrance of the cellar, a family who was hiding crawled out.

With tears streaming down her face, Liu Laogen's daughter-in-law knelt down again towards Xia Shuo's back and whispered softly, "Director Xiao Xia, I kowtow to you. We listen to your words and will never have another child after giving birth to this child. Really?" Yes, no more..."
