After talking for a while, it was getting late and the sun was already setting. Fortunately, Dahe Village was not far from the county seat, and it took only an hour to walk there.

The village party secretary An Daming hurriedly called the four of them to leave and return to Xiahe Village.

That's right, An Shu's original surname was An. Fortunately, An Shan's surname was also An, so after being adopted, he didn't change his name.

Along the way, Secretary An was introducing the situation in Xiahe Village, in order to let Anxi know in advance who else was in the family.

As for the three new educated youths, it happened by the way.

But since I said it, let me talk about the situation in the village by the way, let the three young people understand, don't mess around at that time, the ones who suffer the most are themselves.

As the village party secretary, he should do his duty, and it's up to them whether they listen or not.

In fact, the entire Xiahe Village is only branch secretary An Daming's family, and Anxi's family is named An.

They came here from famine. They were originally a big family, but in the end there were only two brothers left.That is, An Daming's grandfather and An Shu's father's grandfather.

They married a girl from Xiahe Village and settled down in Xiahe Village smoothly.

Because of various natural and man-made disasters, until now, there are only Uncle An Shu's family, An Daming family, and Anxi, the 'An family'.

However, they were all more promising. An Daming became the secretary of the village, and no one dared to offend him. Uncle An's family, because of An Shu's parents' status as martyrs, no one dared to offend him.

Later, Anxi's second cousin became a soldier again, he was very promising, and became a battalion commander at a young age. Now, the An's family became the most prosperous family in Xiahe Village.

Xiahe Village is considered a large village, with hundreds of people up and down, two-thirds of which are migrants who have fled the famine one after another, and the original population is less than one-third.

At that time, when the two brothers of Grandpa An came, Xiahe Village was actually very xenophobic and very wary of foreigners.

The two brothers were also clever, and when they combined, they each fell in love with a local girl. After spending a lot of thought, they became the son-in-law of Xiahe Village, and successfully gained a firm foothold here.

There are various surnames in this village, and due to various reasons, there are constant frictions between outsiders and locals, so the relationship is very complicated.

After the founding of New China, Xiahe Village was divided into a village-level unit. When it came to electing the village party secretary, no one would obey anyone.

The locals believe that this is the place where our ancestors grew up for generations, so if you come to us, of course you must follow our rules and obey our management.

But there are many people in other places, so the election of the village party secretary is of course the minority obeying the majority.

This matter has been going on for a long time, and there is no way to settle it.

In the end, Mrs. An saw the opportunity. He and his younger brother made a plan to persuade the foreigners to vote for their grandson, and the daughter-in-law of the two went back to her natal family and asked the natal family to help persuade the locals to vote for her. grandson.

It took a little money, and it was really done for them.

Outsiders think that the An family is also an outsider, and they belong to the same group. As for the wife of the family, who is a local, can a man let his wife control him?

Therefore, if the An family is selected, they must be partial to outsiders.

The local people also listened to the persuasion of the two daughters-in-law's natal family and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The An family has no relatives, and An Daming's closest relatives are his ex-family. Like his mother and grandma, they are all local girls.Those outsiders have no blood relationship with him, so it's clear at a glance who he is close to!

So, Brother An really helped An Daming win the position of village party secretary.

As for why An Daming was chosen, it was easier to convince the public because he had a junior high school degree.

Secondly, he was young at the time. Mr. An summed it up, he was in his seventies and eighties, and his son was also in his 50s. How many years can he be if he becomes one?

But the grandson is different, he is only in his twenties, as long as he does not make mistakes, he can be at least 30 or [-] years, right?

Mrs. An has a clear eye and a clear heart, and he has long understood that in the current system, there is no way for father to son. Let An Daming be the one from the beginning, and it will save trouble in the future.

Mr. An's decision can be described as very prescient.

Because within a few years, he and his younger brother and daughter-in-law passed away one after another, and then encountered a great famine. His son and nephew, that is, An Daming's father and An Shu's grandfather, starved to death one after another in order to save some rations for their children and grandchildren. .

The population of An's family is getting smaller and smaller, but because An Daming has always occupied the position of the village party secretary, no one dares to mess with An's family.

An Daming obviously inherited his grandfather's shrewdness, and has held this position firmly all these years, making everyone obey him.

In the current environment, it can be regarded as protecting the peace of Xiahe Village from the disturbances of the outside world.

However, Xiahe Village is already complicated, and many educated youths were assigned to it one after another, making it even more difficult to manage.

Some educated youths are good, and teaching is enough, but some are very self-important and look down on country people, so of course they don't accept the discipline of the village party secretary.

An Daming taught them a few lessons, and then divided the educated youths into two places, one for well-behaved ones and one for thorns.

Because of An Daming's tricks, those thorns did not dare to make trouble in the open, but engaged in various internal struggles in the yard.

An Daming always turned a blind eye to it, as long as he didn't hinder other people, he could make trouble as he liked, anyway, they were the ones who suffered in the end.

So in this way, the unique environment of Xiahe Village has been formed.

The timing of Liu Hongming and Zhang Hewei's arrival was really unlucky, the well-behaved educated youth's courtyard was already full of people, and Sun Xiuxiu could barely be squeezed in.

But the two big men really couldn't live anymore, so they could only be arranged in those thorny yards, which made them very unlucky, and the old man made all kinds of troubles when they came.

These are settings that were not originally in the book, but in this world, they are automatically supplemented, and they are very reasonable.

Because Sun Xiuxiu lived with the Heshan Educated Youth from the beginning, she fell in love with the male lead at first sight within a few days, and they hooked up and became adulterers, no, the lovers eventually got married.

After the male protagonist returned to the army, she was cared by her husband’s family, and she did the easiest work. She also brought a portable supermarket with her, so she had no shortage of food or clothing, so in addition to writing letters with the male protagonist, she just I watched a drama with two male supporting roles.

No problem!

Moreover, Anxi has every reason to suspect that the so-called hero is his second cousin who joined the army!

The second cousin is the battalion commander at a young age, which meets the standard configuration of a male protagonist.

And the secretary of the village party committee is still the cousin, so it is not too convenient to arrange an easy job for the cousin's daughter-in-law without requiring work points.

As for whether it is true or not, we will know in a few days.

As for Liu Hongming and Zhang Hewei, the supporting actors who have become so miserable because of him, shouldn't he lend a helping hand?

But he has nowhere to live.

"Cousin, since both of my parents have died, it doesn't matter where I live. See if you can sell a piece of land in the village to build a house for me. I want to live closer to you, so that everyone can take care of me." Anxi asked himself.

"No, no, you don't know yet. The first money your second cousin earned as a soldier was handed over to your uncle for safekeeping. He said he took advantage of your parents and wanted to repay it no matter what. He knew You are still alive, so I want to build you a house in the village, so that if you come back in the future, there will be a place to live."

Secretary An said cheerfully, "Boy Cheng really has the foresight. No, you came back just a year after the house was built. You don't know, Boy Cheng's salary in the past few years has been covered. The brick and tile house is spacious, and it is the only one in our village."

"Ah? Really?" Liu Hongming exclaimed in shock. He never expected that there would be such an honest person. He didn't even know if his cousin would come back, but the house was ready for him.

Zhang Hewei and Sun Xiuxiu couldn't help but look sideways, such people are really rare!

"Really, really, Boy Cheng said, this is what he owes you, he originally wanted to find you, but at the beginning Anshan only left the address of a county, there is no specific address, we can find it if we want No. However, I also understand that he has worked so hard to raise you, so naturally he doesn't want your original relatives to disturb you."

Anxi smiled, it's really not true, it's just that Anshan lives in a deep mountain, even if you write down the address, you can't find it.

"Then the eldest aunt?" From An Shan's mouth, I know that the eldest aunt must have her own thoughts. The second cousin will do this, and the eldest aunt will not be happy, right?

"Hey, tree boy, don't blame her. She is not a bad person. At the beginning, her son and daughter starved to death, so she inevitably blamed you. Later, when you were adopted away, she felt bad too. After the next one. Later, when your uncle tried to adopt your second cousin to your father, she didn't object, and felt sorry for you."

Secretary An shook his head and sighed. It was not easy for anyone in those years. Aunt An had her own selfishness, and it was understandable that she wanted to protect her own children.

"Later, because adoption was not allowed, your uncle and the others dismissed the idea. Boy Cheng entered the military camp because of your parents' legacy, and your aunt was very grateful, so when Boy Cheng proposed to build a house for you, There was no objection."

In this way, the eldest aunt is also a reasonable person.

No wonder Sun Xiuxiu lived such a leisurely life after she got married. Isn't it comforting not to have a mother-in-law looking for trouble!

Anxi thought for a while and asked, "How much did it cost to build that yard?"

An Zhishu compared him with four characters, which meant four hundred.

Four hundred to build a house these years is not a small amount, probably spent all the savings of Uncle An's family, which shows how well the house was built.

"Second cousin's salary in the first two years shouldn't be so much, right?" Anxi wondered. According to the prices of this era, recruits can only spend 20 or [-] yuan at most, and the salary will only increase when the position is promoted later.

"It was subsidized by your uncle. He said that he, the uncle, is sorry for you. Since you want to build it, build it better. If you marry a wife in the future and have such a house, the woman will not look down on you because she has no parents."

What Secretary An didn't say was that he gave [-] of them.

He was also guilty, as his uncle and the secretary of the village party committee, he decided to send the tree boy out, so he was not guilty at all, but there was nothing he could do at the time.

Grandparents, parents are all starving to death, and there are several children waiting to be fed in his family, so there is nothing he can do.

Knowing that Boy Cheng wanted to build a house for Boy Shu, he silently took out one hundred and just treated him as his cousin to do his best.
