Chapter 16: Donggang Commune
Chapter 16 Donggang Commune
Chen Deyong choked on Xu Shiyan's few words, and looked embarrassed.
He thought to himself, when did the youngest of the Xu family speak so well? Didn't you just stay silent all day before? Why did it suddenly change?
Xu Shiyan was too lazy to talk to Chen Deyong, so he got off the boat and walked away quickly with the basket on his back.
Both of them went to Songjianghe, and Chen Deyong obviously wanted to get close to Xu Shiyan, and he always had nothing to say.
But Xu Shiyan returned to his previous appearance, he just walked around without saying a word, which really depressed Chen Deyong.
After walking for about an hour, I finally arrived at the corner building of Songjiang River.
Xu Shiyan glanced at Chen Deyong behind him, his heart moved, he didn't go straight to the bureau compound, but turned and walked south.
Songjianghe Town is next to Donggang Commune in the south, one is a town and the other is a village.
Compared with Songjianghe, Donggang has a longer history.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Orion and Sanhu lived in the Donggang area. Donggang Village was established in 1936, Donggang District in 1946, Donggang Township in 56, and Donggang Commune was established in 58.
Donggang Commune has ten brigades under its jurisdiction. Because it is located in the Changbai Mountains, there are many mountains and little cultivated land.
However, the natural soil environment is more suitable for the growth of ginseng. Ginseng planting has a long history, and it is a well-known hometown of ginseng.
In 1987 in his last life, Xu Shiyan moved to Donggang Town with his family, and lived in Donggang for 30 years until the final development and demolition.
In this life, Xu Shiyan plans to move here earlier, preferably before the joint production contract in 1983, so that he can not only get big fields, but also ginseng land and ginseng.
Life again, Xu Shiyan didn't have much pursuit. He didn't even dare to think about moving to the city or working as a worker in the city.
It is not too difficult to transfer from a farmer to a farmer this year. The Xu family doesn't have that kind of network background, so they can't do such a big thing.
Besides, he has been a farmer all his life, and he doesn't have much education. What can he do if he goes to the city?
It would be better to grow ginseng honestly. The development prospects of Donggang will not be bad in the future.
Originally, he was thinking of coming back to find someone in winter, but when he met Chen Deyong today, Xu Shiyan felt suspicious, so he simply went to Donggang first.
"Second brother, I'm busy."
Xu Shiyan came to the door of a family opposite Donggang Middle School. It happened that there were people in the courtyard. Xu Shiyan hurriedly carried the fish into the courtyard and greeted the owner.
"Yo, aren't these my three brothers? Why are you free to come to Donggang today? Come in and sit down.
Fucking mother, quickly boil water and make tea, the third son of our second aunt's family is here. "
The surname of this family is Zhou, and the male owner, Zhou Changhe, is from the same town as Zhou Guilan, the old lady of the Xu family.
Seriously speaking, Zhou Guilan should be called aunt, so Xu Shiyan calls her second brother.
"Second brother, don't make second sister-in-law busy, I'm here to Songjianghe for business today, and I brought a fish for my second brother along the way.
The fine scales just caught from the river this morning, keep them for a fresh meal. "Xu Shiyan said, passing the fish over.
"Oh, look, why are you so polite?" Zhou Zhanghe narrowed his eyes for joy when he saw the thin-scaled fish.
"Fucking mother, hurry up, my brother brought a large and thin scale, quickly cleaned up and stewed, and left my brother for dinner at noon, I have to drink two cups with my brother."
"Second brother, I really have something to do today, so I won't eat here at noon."
Xu Shiyan hurriedly declined. He didn't come to Zhou's house to have a meal, but mainly to connect with each other and pave the way for the future.
Chang Zhou and his family's eldest son, Zhou Qingguo, served as a soldier outside. This winter, he was demobilized and returned to Donggang Commune to become a militia company commander and security assistant.
When Xu Shiyan moved to Donggang in 1987 in his previous life, Zhou Qingguo happened to be transferred from the deputy mayor of Donggang Town to another place.
This time Xu Shiyan wanted to move out early, so he had to ask Zhou Qingguo for help. The Xu family and the Zhou family don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, so it's not easy to speak directly.
Normally, if you don’t burn incense, it will definitely not work if you hold Buddha’s feet temporarily, so Xu Shiyan has planned it long ago, and will often walk around in the future.
Human relationship is like this, the more you walk, the closer you get, and when it's related, for Zhou Qinguo, Zhou Qinguo can do it with his mouth.
Xu Shiyan still had things to do, so he didn't stay at Zhou's house for a long time, so he only drank his saliva and said a few words before leaving.
Zhou Changhe had no choice but to follow him out the door, just in time to see people from the second brigade driving a carriage passing by, so he hurriedly stopped him and asked the other party to take Xu Shiyan with him.
Zhou Changhe is an old man in the second brigade, so of course he has some face, the driver readily agreed, and Xu Shiyan got into the carriage.
The horse spread its four hooves, kicked and stomped all the way straight to the Songjiang River.
When I arrived at the production material store, the driver went to work, while Xu Shiyan walked through the town from west to east with a basket on his back, and went straight to the bureau compound.
"Yo, Xiao Xu is here. Today is a bit later than usual. Team leader Guo just came out to take a look and said why you haven't come yet."
The old man looking at the gate saw Xu Shiyan and said with a smile on his face.
"Well, I was delayed by something this morning, Mr. Wang, you can take this cricket home and give it to your grandson."
Xu Shiyan smiled and stuffed a pack of crayfish into the old man's hand.
"Oh, what about such a big cricket, look, since I met you, our little grandson has been blessed. Come in, I guess there will be a hurry."
Old Wangtou was so happy, he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and hurriedly waved his hand to let Xu Shiyan in.
Xu Shiyan entered the compound and went straight to the back kitchen, and asked someone to weigh and settle the account without mentioning it.
Just talking about the gate of the agency compound, Xu Shiyan had just entered a few minutes ago when someone sneaked over.
Old Wangtou just found a bucket to load the crayfish, when he turned around, he saw a man standing at the gate, stretching his neck and looking into the yard.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Idlers are not allowed to enter."
"Master, I'm here to look for someone. I just went in with a basket on my back. I'm looking for him." It was Chen Deyong who came.
He just finished his work and wandered outside the store of the Forestry Bureau, thinking that he could see Xu Shiyan selling fish in the market.
Walking around for a few times, I didn't see anyone. I suddenly turned my head and found Xu Shiyan entering the bureau compound with a basket on his back.
Chen Deyong was curious, so he followed. Just as he was about to follow in, he was discovered by the gatekeeper, Uncle Wang.
"Looking for someone? Someone carrying a basket? We are in the compound of the Forestry Bureau, and there are all cadres in it. Who can carry a basket?"
Uncle Wang glanced at the guy in front of him. He has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He doesn't look like Xiao Xu. Looking at his ghostly appearance, he doesn't look like a good person.
Uncle Wang is an old man, so he immediately paid attention to it, and he didn't care about this problem at all, and waved his hand impatiently.
"Hurry up, don't get in the way here, and the leader will drive back later, so don't bump into you." The old man drove away without saying a word.
"No, I just saw someone go in with a basket on his back, let me look for it."
Chen Deyong is in a hurry, there must be something tricky in it, he has to figure out why Xu Shiyan is here.
"Are you going? If you don't go, I'll call the security team to come. You dare to break into any place if you don't open your eyes?" Old Wang said angrily with a downcast face.
