Mengli Commune is also the same as Liao Lao County: how big is the scope of its jurisdiction?
I am afraid that few people can give accurate data. During this period, surveying and mapping methods were very backward.
So, how wide is the jurisdiction of Mengli Commune? Even the cadres can only give a rough idea.
But it is impossible to be precise to the single digits of square kilometers.
The town of Mengli Commune is very small, with a street less than 500 meters long. If you stand at one end, you can see the other end of the street.
In the words of a local commune cadre: Mengli Commune relies on walking for transportation; and shouting for communication.
And if you want to survive here, you must have a pair of very powerful fists.
What if you can't do it to someone else?
There is another way: that is to establish a good relationship with the "big village chiefs" in each village.
As long as you have a big village chief and give yourself a platform, you can't say you won't be bullied if you go to other villages.
But at least,
In the big village chief's village, I basically have a firm foothold...
Such big guys talk about being big village chiefs, but they are not actually recognized by the commune. However, they do have the final say in their respective villages.
By the time the carriage swayed into the courtyard of Mengli Commune, it was almost dusk.
Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli have already gone through the landing procedures in the county.
But after arriving at Mengli Commune, they still need to report. Because from then on, Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli's household registrations will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of Mengli Commune.
at the same time,
The food relationship between the two will also be transferred from Jiangnei City Vocational and Technical School to the production team under the jurisdiction of Mengli Commune.
from now on,
Luo Xuan's food for residents first turned into food for students. And now, it has turned into completely rural food.
Today, when the carriage arrived at Mengli Commune, it was actually already past the time to get off work.
Logically speaking,
I can't find anyone to handle the corresponding procedures for me.
But the cadres in Mengli Commune work all year round. So-called Saturdays and Sundays?
nonexistent.
Every month, they can only take three days off from work. Often, only when they are off from work, the cadres in the company will return to their respective villages.
In fact, in this period, there is no such thing as a village or a village.
It is also called production team or production brigade.
It's just that Liao Lao County, together with Mengli Commune... is very special.
Therefore, everyone still habitually calls a production team a certain village.
Since the cadres in the commune usually live and eat in the commune compound, Luo Xuan wants to go through the corresponding procedures.
Don't worry about not finding anyone.
The commune cadres lit the kerosene lamps and completed the corresponding procedures for Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli in the dark.
It's just that the cadres in these communes speak with a very thick accent.
Luo Xuan spent a long time trying,
I only vaguely understood a few of the sentences: Never provoke conflicts easily, otherwise, your death will be in vain.
Don't mess with the big village chief.
Don't go to the neighboring village of Miaozhai and get into the "shack" of another girl... If you do that and there's no light the next day, you have to leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you have to stay and do farm work for another girl's family for four years... and so on.
Luo Xuan was confused when he heard it, and he seemed to understand but not understand.
By the time the formalities were completed, the sky was gradually getting darker.
There was silence and desolation all around.
Countless primitive mountain forests are covered in twilight.
above the sky,
The few remaining pieces of clouds are hidden in the mist like splashing ink, which makes people feel helpless and desolate at a glance...
This is a completely unfamiliar land.
Here lives a group of mountain people whose ideas and living habits are completely different from their own...
This situation, this moment, this moment.
Zhang Xiaoli was like a helpless lamb, with tears in her beautiful eyes. She reached out and grabbed Luo Xuan's arm, not daring to let go for a moment.
Even Luo Xuan, who had a strong heart, felt in his heart at this time.
Involuntarily, I felt a sense of hesitation.
Life in my hometown is not rich; the lights in my hometown are not bright either.
When they are struggling to survive in their hometowns, many people want to leave their hometowns as soon as possible and join the outside world in a broader world.
Try to work hard to create a small sky of your own.
when a person,
Only when you are far away from your hometown, do you understand in your heart: What a wonderful and happy thing it would be if you could see the familiar faint lights and hear the familiar accents...
The moon is the brightness of my hometown.
"Let's go, wait until it gets completely dark, and it will be even more troublesome when we rush on the road."
Luo Xuan sighed, pulled Zhang Xiaoli up and left, "Why do you miss home? Do you miss your sister and nephews?"
Zhang Xiaoli nodded,
Choking with sobs, she said, "I don't know when I will be able to see them in the future. I don't know when I will have to wait until my eldest sister can put her arms around my shoulders, comfort me softly, and encourage me..."
Luo Xuan sighed, "You still have a sister and so many relatives to miss.
This is a very happy thing.
But I am truly alone in this world... If you have any happy or sad things, there is still someone you can talk to.
And any sadness and happiness in my heart can only be experienced by me alone, and no one can tell me."
Zhang Xiaoli thought,
Luo Xuan was not on good terms with Luo Tiezhu, Wang and others, and he had no biological relatives to rely on.
That's why I said this.
Looking up at Luo Xuan, Zhang Xiaoli smiled with tears in her eyes, "Don't be so sad. Don't you still have me by your side?"
If there is any suffering in the future, I will taste it with you. If there is any happiness, I will share it with you."
"Oh my god, you guys are so lazy!"
Namu suddenly emerged from a small alley quietly.
Stomping his feet, he said, "Let's go quickly. The commune is still more than 30 miles away from our village!"
Luo Xuan asked her out of curiosity, "What were you doing just now? I thought you left first."
Namu held up three broken bamboo poles in her hands, as well as a piece of torn rags from an unknown piece of clothing.
These are three simple torches.
Namu smiled and said, "There is no guest house on the streets of Mengli Commune. I knew you wouldn't be able to stay here. You will definitely have to travel with me all night long, so... this is not..."
Saying that, Namu raised the torch proudly.
With a look on his face, he said, "I went to that house in the alley, borrowed their bamboo poles and clothes to dry, and made these torches."
"You came here by chance, right?"
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that people will catch you and send you to the commune?"
Namu chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid! If he dares to come and catch me, I will roll on the ground. He will say that he destroys unity...Giggle, when the time comes, let me see who is afraid?"
Wrapped in his luggage was a flashlight.
Excess dry batteries and spare flashlight bulbs are placed in the space.
Luo Xuan took out the flashlight and pushed the switch.
A dazzling beam of light suddenly hit the road ahead: "Let's go, I don't need a torch...especially a stolen one."
"Wow, what is this? What is... called a muff?"
Namu's face was full of surprise and envy, "When I was studying in the mainland, I worked as a security officer in the school.
This is what they take when they go out on patrol at night."
Namu giggled, "At that time, I wanted to catch the light coming from the front in my hand!
I tried several times but couldn’t catch it. Hey! A bunch of classmates have been laughing at me for a long time!”
Luo Xuan laughed loudly, "Fortunately, the light was pointed forward. If it was pointed towards the sky, are you still planning to follow that beam of light and climb up to the sky?"
"Hey, you know so much?"
Namu laughed loudly, "I was so stupid at the time that I really thought I could climb up along this light beam!
Hey, hey... you mainland men know how to lie!
The general officer in the security department really fooled me and asked me to climb up along the light beam... Hahaha..."
Namu laughed so hard that her whole body trembled, "At that time, you didn't know how embarrassing I was! Geez... I was laughing so hard!"
In fact, it was normal for Namu to have this thought when she saw the flashlight for the first time.
Just like the kids in the production team:
When they saw bullet casings flying in the movie, they would run under the movie screen.
Trying to pick up bullet casings is the same thing.
No one has much more knowledge than anyone else.
Sometimes, it is very common for people to make some vulgar jokes because they are exposed to modern civilization for the first time.
Just like in the Qing Dynasty: foreigners used antique-level cameras to take pictures of everyone.
People who have never seen these things still say that the magnesium powder of the camera burned at the moment.
It will take away people's souls, it's just as stupid and ridiculous...
Namu's joke just now made Zhang Xiaoli and Luo Xuan feel a little heavy.
Become lighter again.
In Liao Lao County, the road to Mengli Commune is difficult to travel.
As for the road from Mengli Commune to Laku Production Team, it can be said that it is difficult and difficult to move forward.
Where is the road?
Dig a little bit of soil along the cliff to form a road.
In the bushes in the dense forest, cutting a two-foot-wide gap is considered a thoroughfare.
In tropical areas, plants grow rapidly.
This kind of temporary road opened in the bushes and dense forests will become full of thorns and weeds will regenerate within a few days.
It depends on the height of thorns and weeds growing along the way.
It is possible to vaguely identify the direction of this winding trail.
But when people take a step forward, they enter the period.
Knee-deep weeds and thorns will block people's progress, making every step forward very laborious.
Especially at night.
All kinds of nocturnal beasts and poisonous snakes will come out to look for food.
This made Luo Xuan, who was leading the way with a flashlight, move as slowly as a snail.
Talk about encountering larger beasts, such as bobcats, skunks, night cats, wild leopards, etc.
Because of these beasts, their size is larger.
No matter how hidden the wild beasts are, people can still detect their presence in advance.
Even bobcats and wild leopards move quickly.
Luo Xuan was also confident that in that short second, he would use his power of thought.
Before this beast attacks you, beat it to pieces.
But those venomous snakes are silent and curled up on the road, waiting for their prey to come.
But it’s really hard to guard against.
The mountain road is difficult to navigate and is surrounded by dangers.
So this section is only about 30 miles away. Luo Xuan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Namu.
After walking until dawn, we arrived at the place called Laku 1 Production Team.
"You guys wait here."
Looking into the distance, you can see the wooden village gate shrouded in mist.
Namu whispered, "I have to go back to the village first and let the village chief come out to greet you.
If you enter the village rashly, you will be shot easily."
Luo Xuan frowned, "We got permission from the Mengli Commune to jump in and settle down. How can the cadres of the production team here be so arrogant?"
Namu shook her head, "But you didn't get the permission of the village chief. You also didn't get the wizard to confirm whether there are any evil spirits in you."
"Only with their approval can you enter the village."
Namu explained, "Now that we have arrived, don't be impatient. Let me go in first and have a look, and ask the village chief what he wants... and then we'll talk."
"Don't worry! I'm here."
Namu patted her chest.
She doesn't have the habit of wearing underwear. She looks like bamboo shoots and looks very interesting.
"Even if you don't enter the village, you can set up camp on a random hill outside."
He said this without waiting for Luo Xuan to answer.
Her whole body was wet with morning dew, and she had already passed Zhang Xiaoli lightly and went straight back to the village...
