The Sweetness of the Seventies

What you say may not be effective, it must be put into practice and be well-founded.

Village Chief Qi smiled and said: "Director Chen, please make a note to me, so that people in other villages will not be jealous. Moreover, I brought so many old, weak, sick and disabled people back today, so I can explain to the people in the village."

As long as these people can be accommodated, Director Chen can only wish for it.

The world is in chaos now, but a remote place like their Taoyuan County is doing pretty well now. Not all of these people are treacherous and evil. They did not kill anyone and did not set fire. They were criticized for some things and ended up where they are now. These people can live a peaceful life for two days if they follow them to Qijia Village.

In fact, most of the staff saw it and understood in their hearts, but in order not to set themselves on fire, they could only let the fire continue to burn on these people. These people are already miserable, so there is no need to continue struggling. It is also convenient for their own work.

"Okay, I'll get you a certificate." Director Chen said, since there are such regulations above, it doesn't count as a violation of discipline.

Village Chief Qi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Director Chen."

After a while, Village Chief Qi took the certificate issued by Director Chen, as well as the list and certificate of those who had been admitted to the labor camp.

"Okay, the commune is far away from your Qijia Village. You should go back early, before it gets dark and the road is difficult." Director Chen hopes to send these people away quickly. His work for today is considered completed and he can have some leisure time.

Village Chief Qi was compensated and felt happy. He smiled and said: "Okay, I will arrange for the people to leave now. I see that two people can't stand up. Fortunately, I drove the bullock cart over. Otherwise, I don't know how to get rid of them." Walk."

"Don't worry, we will send the food to you in a few days." Director Chen said, hey, it's all a mess. This food also comes from the finance of Taoyuan County, which is already very small. not enough. Fortunately, the school is closed now, so there is less expenditure.

However, as a scholar by background, Director Chen was glad in his heart that the closure of schools reduced financial expenditure. At the same time, he also felt guilty and sighed. No one is studying anymore and schools are closed. Will all children across the country have to open their eyes in the future? Blind? How will this country be managed when people of their generation grow old?

No one talks about these obvious questions, but that doesn’t mean they don’t understand them.

Many people also know that this situation will not last long, but they don't know how long it will take to return to normal.

With Director Chen's guarantee, Village Chief Qi felt relieved. Just in time to see Qi Ergou approaching, he said, "Ergou, drive the bullock cart over there and carry these people onto the cart."

"Hey!" Qi Ergou always listened to Village Chief Qi's words outside. He would do whatever Village Chief Qi asked him to do.

The bullock cart came over, and Qi Ergou hugged the two people lying on the ground on the bullock cart. These people hadn't taken a shower for who knows how long, and they smelled bad. However, Qi Ergou, who came from a poor family, did not dislike it.

"Xiaoyan, sweet girl, you go up too, it's such a long way, how can you two little girls walk back!" Village Chief Qi said, as for those who can stand, let them walk by themselves, don't tire him. Baby girl.

Qi Xiaoyan looked at the dejected detainees, feeling very pitiful. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, Dad, let them ride in the bullock cart. I'll walk back."

Village Chief Qi frowned, how come this girl doesn't know how to enjoy happiness?

Niu Dajun walked up from the side, held his head high, and said: "Uncle Qi, I am Niu Dajun, a subordinate of Comrade Qi. I have just changed my career and am working in the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. Now I have something to go to Qijia Village. I can take Xiaoyan on my bicycle." Sister and sweet sister.”

Only then did Village Chief Qi recognize Niu Dajun, patted Niu Dajun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "So it's you, kid! Since you are going to Qijia Village, help me take care of these two girls." If it were someone else, Qi The village chief was worried, it was Niu Dajun, he was very relieved.

This is my son's good brother and he is worthy of trust.

The oxcart was big enough, and it could barely fit eight people, including the village chief.

When those in labor camps heard that they didn't have to walk dozens of miles, they felt very grateful to the village chief. When people compare with others, they can tell the difference. People in the past followed the carts and were not allowed to get on the carts.

Qi Ergou drove the ox cart out of the county town and drove on the winding mountain road.

Niu Dajun was riding a bicycle, already carrying He Tiantian, and Qi Xiaoyan left early.

Village Chief Qi was sitting on the bullock cart and passed by a small stream. He said, "Two dogs, go to the water in front and cool down before leaving."

"Okay!" Qi Ergou agreed, then drove a few dozen meters ahead and stopped under a forest.

The seven dejected people's eyes lit up when they saw the creek. They had not had any water since yesterday and were very thirsty.

"Seven old people, I am the village chief of Qijia Village. I am a rough man and can't speak, but some of you are older than my parents and are not in good spirits. I feel uncomfortable. There is water here. Drink some water first, I have some steamed buns here, and have some snacks." Village Chief Qi said sincerely, hey, good people will do their best. On such a hot day, if you don't drink water, you will suffer from heat stroke, and if you don't eat, you will faint from hunger. Said to be such a frail old man.

"You are a good man." A relatively strong old man got off the bullock cart and went straight to the creek. Wash your face, wash your arms, hold the stream water in both hands, and drink until you're full. Then he picked a lotus leaf, filled it with some water, and brought it to the side of the oxcart for the old wife to drink.

Village Chief Qi smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether he was a good person, but he couldn't bear to see these old people suffering like this.

Several other people followed suit and went to the woods for convenience.

Village Chief Qi is not worried about these people escaping. If he meets them, the village can still have enough to eat and survive. Now running away would be a real crime, and if caught, he would probably lose his life. Each of these people are old, weak, sick, and disabled. They have no identity documents and can only live as savages in the deep mountains and forests. The conditions in the mountains are so bad that these people still can't survive.

After returning, Village Chief Qi gave each of them a steamed bun, which Village Chief Qi secretly asked Qi Ergou to buy. Since his son told him not to embarrass these people, Village Chief Qi acted with the intention of being a good man and did his best.

When those people saw the steamed buns, they swallowed their saliva, but did not dare to take them.

"Old people, please eat quickly." Village Chief Qi said, "If you are in good health, it will save me trouble. Our village is very remote, and the folk customs are not bad. As long as you cooperate with my work, I will not embarrass you. of."

The old man who just praised Village Chief Qi as a good person, his surname is Bai, with firm eyes, said bitterly: "Village Chief Qi is a cheerful person, and we old guys are grateful to you in our hearts. Whatever you say, we will do as you say. As long as...just give us something to eat and let us live."

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! mwah!
