At six o'clock in the morning, the decoration work of the wooden house was officially completed. From the outside, this originally dark and rotten house had completed its gorgeous transformation from an ugly duckling to a swan overnight: the black and white tile exterior walls were exquisite and exquisite.
The sky attic, the colorful doors, windows and wall columns, the blue tile roof with cornices and brackets... Some villagers who got up early and didn't know anything came over and saw this small villa-like house suddenly standing in this place. They were all stunned.
He kept rubbing his eyes, wondering whether he had seen it wrong or was still dreaming.
The celebration platform on Shaiguping has also been set up. It is made of five layers of wood stacked on top of each other. It is covered with a red carpet and hung with colorful flags.
There are two large pillars erected in front of the stage, and a large banner hangs between the pillars: "Warmly welcome the anti-corruption and anti-crime hero Leng Xiaotian to return to his hometown." There is also a couplet posted on the pillars:
"Cold water and cold stream make it difficult for heroes to smile with blood in their hearts, but to laugh at treacherous ministers alone is in vain."
This couplet was written by the village party secretary Leng Jida at the request of Leng Jiwen, an old private school teacher in his eighties in the village. Although the reconciliation was not very neat, it won unanimous praise from Duan Simin, Liang Qi and other town leaders, who all praised him.
Leng Jida was at the meeting and managed to get the banners, colorful flags and couplets ready in such a short period of time. This shows that the traditional culture of Lengxi Village is still well maintained and deserves to be carried forward.
Duan Simin went to the pig pen and cattle pen room of Lengxiao Tian's house and took a look. He saw that there was only one skinny boar in the pig pen, and the cattle pen was empty. He frowned and said to Leng Jida: "Whose house are you going to in the village?"
Go and have a look. Someone with a big fat pig will drag one over, drive the thin cat-like pig in the pen to another place and lock it up. In addition, take a big ox and lock it in his cattle pen. You follow
Those villagers made it clear: the pigs and cows are rented by the town government, and each pig or cow will be given a subsidy of 20 yuan per day."
As soon as this sentence spread, several villagers immediately drove their own pigs and cows over, vying to say that their pigs and cows were fat and strong, and asked the town government to rent their pigs and cows. As a result, two people even had red eyes.
There was a quarrel.
In the end, Duan Simin made the decision: simply rent two pigs and put the two cows in the pig pen and cattle pen of Lengxiao Tian's house, so as to give the hero's family a reputation of "getting rich through hard work".
Duan Simin checked the house and the celebration platform for the last time, and felt that everything was ready. Then he hurried to the town government with the town cadres - where the folk bands of three villages were already gathered there, waiting.
Beat gongs, drums, firecrackers and music to welcome county leaders and anti-corruption and anti-crime heroes...
In the county town, the staff of the county party committee and the county government are also very busy at the moment: arranging vehicles, preparing speeches, arranging entourage, contacting the party and government leaders of Leigong Town, filling in Leng Xiaotian's meritorious service information and meritorious service certificates...
After discussing with Zou Yuli, He Yuelong and Zou Yuli decided to arrange the trip according to the highest standards: two police cars cleared the way, traffic police stood guard on the road, and public security personnel accompanied them to maintain order. Welcome flags and banners were hung in front of the Leigong Town Government. All party and government cadres of Leigong Town came to Sanli.
A collective greeting at the fork in the road outside...
Of course, the reason He Yuelong and Zou Yuli said for doing so was: Xing Lihua, chairman of Jinghua Company, is an important figure that the provincial and municipal party committees and governments have repeatedly stated to receive a grand reception, so no matter what kind of high profile it is, it does not count.
Too much. But in fact, what he really wanted to please in his heart were Leng Xiaotian and Su Xiaodan - one of them was Secretary Du's old friend of the provincial party committee, and the other was his goddaughter. If he stayed in their hearts,
They were deeply impressed that as long as they mentioned their names in front of Secretary Du, there would be unexpected good effects...
At nine o'clock in the morning, Gu Zhenmin and Qiu Guangrong made several calls to the chiefs of several police stations along the way, asking them to send out all police forces to stand guard on the road from the county seat to Leigong Town. They also told the chief of the Leigong Town Police Station to mobilize
All the police officers and joint defense team members in the station rushed to Lengxi Village to maintain order. Then two people each drove a police car to the gate of the county committee, and rushed to Wushui Building with the cars of Secretary He and County Magistrate Zou.
There, Xing Lihua's Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz were waiting in a row. Leng Xiaotian, his father and Gu Liming sat in the Rolls-Royce, and the others sat in several other cars. Gu Zhenmin and Qiu
Guangrong drove out of the way, turned on the police lights and sirens on the car, and led the convoy behind to Leigong Town...
Leng Jidao was sitting in the front passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. He kept curiously looking at the colorful instruments and instruments in the car, feeling both novel and excited.
Later, he saw that in every town he passed, there were uniformed policemen standing upright on both sides of the road, saluting the people in the cars. While he felt extremely honored, he sighed in his heart: Damn, this is simply worse than a national leader.
Traveling with great dignity! How could I, Leng Jidao, be so virtuous and capable that I can actually enjoy the treatment of a national leader today?
When we were about to reach the three-way intersection near the town government, there was suddenly a deafening sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums in front of us. Then we saw all the cadres of the town government standing respectfully by the roadside, and three folk bands wearing colorful clothes.
, were blowing trumpets, beating gongs and drums, and blasting cannons. In addition, there were more than twenty women and children holding flowers tied with red silk, standing on the roadside and waving them constantly, shouting "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome"
!”
Ning Qing grew up in Hong Kong and had never seen this kind of welcome with Chinese characteristics. She couldn't help but be very interested. She was very excited when she saw it in the car. She asked the driver to stop the car several times and wanted to take some photos with her mobile phone.
The driver saw that the police car in front of him did not stop, roared past the welcoming crowd, and did not dare to stop, which made Ning Qing depressed!
The convoy stopped inside the town government. Since there was no road to Lengxi Village, the group had to walk.
Secretary He and County Magistrate Zou were so interested that they actually rushed to the front and walked side by side with Leng Xiaotian and his son who were leading the way. Secretary He kept asking Leng Xiaotian about his studies at Capital University and what his plans were after graduation.
, are you willing to return to your hometown to develop?
Lengxiaotian said that he had this intention in his heart, and he might ask Secretary He to take care of him and help him.
He Yuelong quickly agreed with a smile.
After forty minutes of trekking, the group finally arrived at the village.
Leng Jidao walked in the front. When he came to the door of his house, he couldn't help but be stunned: What's going on? I haven't seen you for a few days, why did your house suddenly disappear?
At this time, the village party secretary Leng Jida came over with a smile, put his arm on his shoulder affectionately, and said, "Brother Jidao, congratulations on giving birth to a heroic son! He has brought glory to our Lengxi Village this time.
Hahaha!"
Leng Jidao was most concerned about his own house now and asked anxiously: "Secretary Da, where is my house? You demolished it while I was away? Who built this house? Do you want to occupy my homestead?"
?”
Leng Jida chuckled and said: "Brother Jidao, this is your house! Who is so bold and dares to rob your homestead? Then he won't be killed by the town government? Don't worry, your house is not lost.
, it just underwent some decoration last night. How about it, it looks pretty good!”
Leng Jidao walked into the room hesitantly and saw the color TV, refrigerator, telephone and Simmons bed in the bedroom. He was so surprised that he was speechless!
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Leng Jida walked over and tugged on his clothes, whispering: "Brother Jida, I want to ask you something: you are very proud in front of the town leaders now. Look at the furniture here."
They were all moved from my house to give you a good appearance. Secretary Duan just rented two pigs and two cows from several villagers' homes and put them in your pig pen. The daily rent for each pig and cow is 20 yuan.
I have so much furniture, and I can’t keep it with you for a few days. You can tell Secretary Duan: I’ll rent these furniture at the price of pigs and cows, and rent it for 20 yuan per piece per day. Do you think that’s okay?”
As he said that, he looked at Leng Jidao with flattering and eager eyes.
Leng Jidao hadn't fully recovered from the shock and didn't fully understand Leng Jida's words, so he nodded casually and agreed, making Leng Jida beam with joy and kept saying: "Thank you, brother Jidao! Thank you.
Brother Jidao!"
At this time, Secretary He, County Magistrate Zou, Gu Liming, Xing Lihua, Ning Qing and others were all looking around this unique house, admiring it as they looked.
Secretary He said: "It seems that our heroic father is still a skilled craftsman. He has decorated a wooden house so beautifully and with such distinctive features that it can be compared to a small villa."
Gu Liming said: "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. Building a wooden house like this among the lush forests and bamboos is indeed unique and unique. It's rare, rare! When I get old, I might settle down in Lengxi Village, just like Xiaotian
Build a wood-paneled house like this, read books there every day, and wander around the nearby mountains and streams. What a fairy life!"
At this time, the villagers had already gathered on the Shaigu Ping where the platform was set up. They were all pointing and discussing what contribution Leng Xiaotian had made by inviting so many big leaders over.
Soon, the town cadres and folk band also rushed over. Seeing that the preparations were almost done, County Magistrate Zou stepped onto the celebration stage and announced in a loud voice: "Dear guests and friends, I declare: Sneer Heaven.
The celebration meeting and award ceremony to commend students for their meritorious service will now begin! Next, we have asked Comrade He Yuelong, Secretary of the County Party Committee, to give important instructions, and everyone welcomes them with applause!"
Amidst a burst of warm applause, He Yuelong stepped onto the celebration stage with a happy face, took the wireless microphone from County Magistrate Zou, and began to give a passionate impromptu speech.
