Chapter 29 Brave Reputation (1)

After the food group came out, Hou Weidong was panicked in his chest. He sat on the rockery in the backyard with a water bottle, silently combing his thoughts. The sky was full of stars, just like Hou Weidong's question: "It turns out that I was sent to the working group."

"I came to Qinglin Town with the introduction letter from the Personnel Bureau. I did not offend anyone. Why did I send me to Shangqinglin?" Hou Weidong was puzzled.

A feeling of being teased and abandoned grew in Hou Weidong's heart. He sat silently for a while, and the mountain mosquitoes were full of mass, flying in the dark, making a "buzz, buzz" bomber roar.

"Did I make the wrong choice at the time?" Thinking of what my father often said, manly should be responsible, Hou Weidong cheered himself up and said, "Maybe this is a test for himself, manly should be responsible."

After sitting for a while, I slowly relieved my grievances.

A woman walked past the backyard. She accidentally saw Hou Weidong sitting on the flower platform. She was startled and said, "Who?" Hou Weidong stood up and said, "I am from the Qinglin Government and I have only climbed the mountain today."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "You are Xiaohou."

"I am."

The woman said gently: "Our family is on the first floor and we will become neighbors from now on. If you have time, come and sit at home."

"Wow, this is the owner of the garlic sprouted pork." Hou Weidong had a particularly good impression of the fragrant garlic sprouted pork, and said politely: "I will definitely trouble my aunt often in the future."

The woman put a bucket next to her and put her hands on her waist to rest. "It's different for college students. I'm so kind of speaking. I'm from Gao Changjiang's family, and my surname is Liu."

The woman spoke very lowly and sounded weak, so Hou Weidong said, "Auntie Liu, I'll help you carry the bucket."

"No need, I washed some clothes and got it and it was dried after it was taken. It was not heavy."

"Hey, Aunt Liu, we are neighbors, so let Xiao Hou bring it up."

Without saying anything, Hou Weidong carried the water bottle and rubber bucket and followed Aunt Yang to the second floor. Aunt Yang was panting when she went up the second floor. Hou Weidong was a little puzzled: I heard that the township leaders were very well treated. Gao Changjiang had been the township mayor and deputy mayor. Can't even afford a washing machine?

Putting the bucket next to Yang Ajie's door, Hou Weidong finally saw Aunt Liu's appearance, with patterns on her face, yellow skin, gray hair, and extremely old. However, Gao Changjiang did not retire, and was less than 60 years old. According to Yi Yang's habit, his lover was usually a few years younger, but he was only in his fifties. Thinking of this, Hou Weidong was shocked. Aunt Liu and his mother Liu Guangfen were about the same age, but his mother looked at least ten to fifteen years younger than Aunt Liu. In fact, it was not her mother's younger, but her elder sister.

After standing at the door and saying politely, Hou Weidong returned to his dormitory. After some cleaning, this one-bedroom and living room dormitory looked much more pleasing. Hou Weidong picked up the flavor of Qinglin tea that he had just bought, brewed hot tea in a white porcelain cup, and stood in the corridor, enjoying the night of Qinglin Mountain.

Objectively speaking, the building of Qinglinshan Township Government is really well built. Standing on the corridor, the terrain is extremely open, and at the end of the sight is a "concave"-shaped mountain peak. A few shining stars are like being picked up by a mountain peak, hanging on the top of the mountain peak. In front of the corridor is a cement dam that can be parked, and in front of the cement dam is another pond with lotus leaves.

On summer nights, standing in the corridor, tasting the delicious Qinglin tea, listening to the various insects screaming randomly, a mountain breeze slid up the valley blew the leaves straight, and also brought a coolness.

The next day, Hou Weidong got up very early. He walked around Shangqinglin Laochang Town and clearly saw Laochang Town clearly. Shangqinglin Town in the morning is much cuteer than at night. There are two breakfast shops, one in the east is a tofu restaurant and a porridge steamed bun shop on the west. Hou Weidong hesitated for a while and then sat in the tofu restaurant. The tofu rice is a unique breakfast for Yi Yang, one yuan per serving, including a bowl of white tofu. The rice is eaten casually, which is affordable and delicious. It is the favorite of students and working class.

There are only four or five tables in the Qinglin Tofu Restaurant. There are rows of ingredients on a long table, which have salt, flavor, pepper powder, green onion, garlic paste, red pepper, green sea pepper, green sea pepper, vegetable oil cooked with pepper, etc., and combine them according to your own taste. Hou Weidong personally adjusted half a bowl of ingredients, then scooped a bowl of rice, and a thin middle-aged man brought a bowl of tofu.

The tofu is solid and fine, tender and vigorous, and with the combination of seasonings, Hou Weidong ate two big bowls of rice hard, and a circle of sweat was already secreted from his forehead.

Two people walked into the Douhua Restaurant, and the thin man said enthusiastically: "Captain Gao, I went up the mountain so early." He shouted to the inner room: "Course, get a basin of water for Chief Gao and get a new towel."

Township Mayor Gao was a tall and thin man with a little grayish white and very energetic, especially his eyes were bright and bright. After the basin was brought out, he was not polite and washed his face by the street and wiped off his sweat.

The township chief Gao sat down and said, "It's still the same thing, one bowl of tofu, two taels of wine, are there any braised or steamed dishes?" The thin man served the tofu with neatness and said, "I braised some fat intestines yesterday, which are very fragrant, so cut them off." The township chief Gao nodded and said, "Come on, cut half a pound."

When the golden braised intestines were served on the table, the village head Gao said to another serious man: "Director Qin, in Shangqinglin, he only counts Yao Shouzi's well water as the most scattered tomatoes. When Secretary Zhao of the county party committee arrived at Shangqinglin, he must come here to eat these two things."

Director Qin is the director of the Qinglin Town Police Station. At the end of last year, he was transferred from the First Section of Yiyang County Public Security Bureau to the Qinglin Town Police Station. At the age of 34, he has been the deputy section chief of the First Section for six years. However, the head of the First Section was about the same age as him and occupied a seat, so he could not be promoted. When the Qinglin Town Police Station was established, he was transferred from the bureau to Qinglin Town.

Director Qin was born with a serious face and was usually taciturn. He didn't speak. He took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised intestine, savored it for a while, and said, "Not bad."

The township chief Gao didn't say much, and the two of them started eating with concentration.

Hou Weidong knew that Township Mayor Gao was the leader of the working group, Aunt Yang's husband, but Aunt Yang's image was too different from that of Township Mayor Gao, and it was difficult to overlap. He waved to the thin man and said, "Boss, check out." Hou Weidong said softly to the thin man: "How much does that table from Township Mayor Gao cost, I'll get it together."

The thin man smiled honestly and said, "Ten yuan." When Hou Weidong stood up, the thin man said, "Captain Gao, the account has been settled."

Township Mayor Gao looked at Hou Weidong, with a smile on his face and said, "You are Hou Weidong." After receiving the affirmative answer, he waved his hand vigorously and said loudly: "You haven't received your salary yet, how can you get it to pay? Yao Shouzi, can't collect his money, don't you hear it."

Hou Weidong hurriedly said, "Master Gao, I'll leave first." After that, he slipped away quickly.Master Gao stood beside the shop and saw Hou Weidong's back. He stomped his feet and said, "This kid is running faster."
