Chapter 5 The Head of the House
The one who is in charge is really the one who is in charge.
The town has a very superior geographical location. It is a must-pass place between the capital and the entrance. When you come out of the capital, the first place is here, and the second place is Zhangjiakou. After a long development, the town has become a distribution center for merchants.
Many businessmen live in this small town, so the town naturally becomes prosperous, with various trade exchanges, and the town is very lively.
The head of the family was also a very famous figure before liberation. He was the shopkeeper of the largest business in the town.
Every year, the head of the company would go to the door a few times to bring back the fur goods from the door, and also sell some goods here to the door. For example, the most common one is the handmade casserole here.
During the War of Liberation, a famous battle was fought here. After the battle, all the big merchants ran away.
The head of the family did not run away, the head of the family supported the new government. Over the years, the head of the family has accumulated a deep reputation locally, so everyone recommended him to be a village chief in the newly established village committee.
The head of the family was very grateful to the government, and the first one responded to the government's slogan. For example, when he wanted to eat a big pot meal, the head of the family immediately handed over all the stored grains at home to the brigade. Everyone would eat together and never leave any private matters.
If you want to practice steel, the head of the family sent away all the iron tools in the house.
Later, when the head of the family got older, he stepped down from the position of village chief.
Now the times are getting better, and the reform and opening up are reforms and opening up, and the head of the country is still strong, so he plans to do some small business and sell some casseroles to other places like before.
I have been there for several days. It’s time to come back today.
Now, I heard a terrible explosion outside, and almost everyone in the village was running there.
Lao Liu rushed out too. The sound was so loud, could something be wrong, right?
Fang happened to get rid of my mother's entanglement and ran out with Lao Liu.
The voice came from the threshing farm at the east entrance of the village. When he ran over, Lao Liu shouted: "Dad, what happened?"
His father was in the east and staring at a pile of rotten meat on the ground: "Dongzi, I told you just now, don't let you play with these things, why don't you listen? Alas, it's such a sin!"
Dongzi? Everyone was shocked. Dongzi is a child in the village. He is less than ten years old. He usually likes to play around, but why has he become like this now?
"I just came back from another place and got tired from here. I sat down to rest. When I saw Dongzi playing with something in my hand, it was a sweet potato burner left by a Japanese devil. I told Dongzi not to play, but he just didn't listen. I asked him for it, so I ran away. I couldn't catch up, so I stepped back and wanted to find Dongzi's mother. But I didn't know that I had only walked a dozen steps before the sweet potato burner rang."
Sweet potato roast is a kind of wine. The bottle of wine is like a egg. The Japanese also have a grenade that is very similar to this, so everyone calls that kind of grenade sweet potato roast.
The town was once the main battlefield. After the battle, many weapons were left behind. When adults saw it, they would throw the weapons into the dry well for fear of something happening.
But children are ignorant and always use them to play with. A few years ago, several children in the village were injured in these things, but fewer in recent years. Who would have thought that something happened to a child again today?
"Dongzi, Dongzi! Why did you leave like this!"
The shrill cry of a woman came from a distance. Dongziniang came, but her son was gone, leaving only minced meat on the ground.
Everyone watched the silence, and no one spoke for a while.
When the sky gradually darkened, everyone dispersed!
The head of the family took out three dollars from his pocket. In this era, three dollars was already a lot of money. That was all the income from selling casseroles this time. He put it next to the side of the winter melon girl, sighed and left.
"Dad, are you back? You have been leaving for several days, and we miss you." Fang said.
Although the scene I just saw was very miserable, now that my father has returned, Fang is still very happy. The big kang in the east room of the house can sleep with three people.
The head of the family looked at Fang. This was his little daughter, the most sensible and well-behaved. His eyes were full of love: "Let's go, go home, are you busy in the brigade these days?"
Hearing this, Fang's body was shocked and quickly changed the topic: "Dad, my sister-in-law has given birth to a son, so you can hold another grandson."
"Okay, okay!" The father was very happy and walked home in two steps.
"Hmph, you actually dare to violate the country's family planning policy. You will be fined. Don't you know? Tell you that Fangfang deserves to lose her job for this!"
Before he left, he heard the high decibel sound in the yard at the door. Fang was stunned. Why did this woman run to our house to make trouble?
Fang's face became gloomy. Her sister-in-law was still in confinement. Her mother was a very weak woman. Sister Wang actually came over to bully people.
"You're talking nonsense." I was angry, but even if I was angry, she couldn't speak any swearing.
"No, am I talking nonsense? Just ask your daughter, and you will know? Where is Fang? Come out and explain it to everyone."
"Well, get out of here!" At this time, Fangfang had already run into the house, picked up the broom from the door, and greeted Sister Wang.
This woman is so hateful.
"You, what are you going to do? Then hit someone! Hit someone!" Sister Wang shouted loudly, sitting on the ground, not afraid that others would know halfway.
Lao Liu's face was also very gloomy. What's going on? He just came back and heard that his sister had no job, so he heard the noise outside. He didn't ask in detail. Now it's like this, because he was implicated? How can this work be done!
No, I'll ask the town to make a reason. It's me who violates the policy. What's the matter with my girl?
"Go and go, go out." Fang wanted to drive Sister Wang away as soon as possible, but the broom didn't really hit her, but she just fooled her, but she screamed and howled, as if she had really been beaten.
The village never minds the big deal, and at this time there were already many people surrounding them.
When I saw so many people outside, Sister Wang's eyes turned a few times. Humph, this is the opportunity I was waiting for.
Sister Wang, this person is very sensible. She knew that although the mayor, Secretary Zhao, had removed Fang Fang from office, after Fang's father came back, he had something to do with the leaders above. Maybe Fang would go to work again tomorrow. In this way, how could her son have a chance?
So we must confirm this matter so that everyone knows that Fang has been removed from office, and see how the town is still operating in secret! It is openly violating family planning and can't do anywhere!
"The sixth family gave birth to a child! They violated the family planning policy! Fang knew that the information was not reported and had been fired by the town." Her voice was loud, and the people outside could hear it clearly, and many people immediately started to talk.
Chapter completed!
