Chapter 28 Interview with a ghost
Luo Fangyi sat on the stone steps and was impressed. At this time, the sky was already dark. Through the dim light, he seemed to vaguely see Luo Fangyi's expression in a serious manner towards the north.
Master, is this true?
What do you think? Do you think there are ghosts in this world?
What I asked was not this, and I was not a child. I mean that some of the children who starved to death died before they even became humans.
Women's points are really different from men. Xiangbei originally thought that a story about ghosts would shock Luo Fangyi, but who would have thought that the other party would fall into sadness.
Don't take it seriously, this is just a folk story. Congratulate her to the north. He hopes that the world that this simple girl sees is beautiful.
However, even legends have their origins, and are often reflected in the real world. The content about ghosts and gods is just artistic sublimation. Master, the story you told reminds me of another legend. This is what I heard from my grandma.
Luo Fangyi told another story. Although this story has nothing to do with ghosts, it is even more like ghosts.
One year, there was a famine in Shaanxi, and there was no food in the whole area. One day, a wife was so hungry that she couldn't sleep. Seeing the lights in the kitchen, she suspected that her husband and family were hiding food, so she got up quietly and went to eavesdrop. As a result, she heard her father-in-law discussing with her husband to kill her and eat her, saying that after she had endured this famine, she would marry him. The wife was so scared that she ran away and ran back to her parents' home overnight. One of her shoes ran away on the way.
After running home, the daughter-in-law told her parents about something. The parents comforted her and let her sleep. Although she felt much more at ease when she returned home, the daughter-in-law still couldn't sleep because she was too afraid. So she wanted to sleep with her parents. As a result, she heard her parents discussing in front of the window of her parents' house: Anyway, she didn't eat, and her daughter would eat for outsiders. It would be better to kill herself and eat for a few days. Under all fear, the daughter-in-law was scared crazy, she was really crazy.
Luo Fangyi's story shocked Xiangbei. Unexpectedly, such a seemingly simple girl told such a story that even boys had goose bumps: Chinese people have been fighting hunger for thousands of years. Therefore, people are too afraid of poverty.
Master, have you scared?
Well, your story is not a ghost, but it is even more scary than a ghost. Xiangbei has no concealment. Xiao Luo, the world is still beautiful. Think about it, if we are no different from animals, then humans will be destroyed. The fundamental difference between humans and animals is civilization. Civilization gives us a moral bottom line and a set of codes of conduct. It’s a bit far-reaching. It’s dark, so don’t go into the village today. Let’s find a place to live.
The two of them returned along the village road, and the car stopped at the door, one or two kilometers away from them.
How about it, are you tired? Ask Bei.
well enough.
The two chatted, and a figure flashed past the side.
He glanced north and stopped suddenly.
What's wrong, Master?
Did that person see clearly just now?
No, what's wrong?
He looks like a person
who?
Xuchanglin!
Xu Changlin? Impossible, didn’t he commit suicide?
Xiangbei didn't say anything, so he turned around and followed.
That's right, it's him! Xiangbei's tone was a sure tone. Although it was night to stop him at his house that time, I was impressed by his outline and walking posture.
Thinking of the ghost story I just told, Luo Fangyi said with some fear: It’s not that he has encountered a ghost. Master, I’m a little scared.
Xiangbei was also nervous and felt nervous: What was going on? Let's stop her.
He rushed forward with a quick step, but found that the other party had disappeared and disappeared into the night.
I went north through several alleys and tried to find each other, but in vain.
It's so strange, Xiao Luo, we have to find a way to figure it out. Time is limited, Xiangbei didn't think too much, so he called Luo Jingchen directly.
Hello, reporter, is there anything wrong?
Hello Director Luo, I am in Luohe Village. Can you talk to you?
Uh, when did you come, why didn’t you say hello in advance?
Xiangbei heard that the other party seemed a little unhappy and hurriedly explained; don’t get me wrong, we just happened to pass by Luohe Village and took a look.
Well, I'm still in the communication room of the village primary school, come here. Xiangbei could hear from the phone that Luo Jingchen was still very enthusiastic.
In the north of winter, the temperature is different every day, especially in rural areas, when the temperature has reached minus ten degrees Celsius. In ancient times, in order to survive the long winter, people invented a method of entertainment in the nine-point way to alleviate the psychological crisis brought about by the boring and cold winter. Another happy thing in winter is to seal the house tightly, snuggle up next to the fire, drink tea and watch TV.
At this time, this was such a scene in the communication room of Luohe Village Primary School. Luo Jingchen was leaning against the bed and watching TV. On the small dining table was his huge yellowed plastic cup soaked in tea stains. There was also a coat made of wool on the outside. The cheap tea leaves almost filled half a cup.
There was thick fog outside the house and the cold air was overwhelming. The house was warm and warm and comfortable.
Welcome, to reporters. Luo Jingchen took the initiative to reach out and hold Xiangbei, thank you for your work for Luohe Village.
You're welcome, this is my job. Xiangbei felt a little awkward, but it was hard to say anything. I saw the city's documents and the project in Luohe Village was stopped.
Yes, even though the call was stopped, you also saw the situation in the village and was greatly affected. Now there are differences among the villagers.
What differences?
Let’s sit down and talk. Luo Jingchen called Xiangbei and Luo Fangyi to sit down, and was busy pouring tea. Uh, there was no good tea, don’t dislike it.
Director Luo, you are too polite. Xiangbei hurriedly took the tea.
Stop calling me Director Luo, I'm quitting anymore. Luo Jingchen smiled and said, his expression looked very complicated.
Ah?!Why? Xiangbei and Luo Fangyi both asked questions at the same time.
It was because of this matter. The above thought that I had something wrong with handling this matter, so I was exempted. But it was okay, the villagers were too crowded, so it was easier to take off this hat.
Alas, okay. Xiangbei felt a little regretful, but also felt that Luo Jingchen was right. Although a village is not big, it is not easy to manage it well. According to Xiangbei’s understanding, a rural cadre is already qualified to make the village harmonious and stable. To lead the villagers to become rich, it is easy to do!
How are the villagers now? You just said that there are differences again. What differences? Ask North.
In fact, everyone made a fuss because of the compensation. The fact that the villagers were burned was just an introduction. Luo Jingchen said that now that the money has been obtained, everyone feels at ease.
Haha, Xiangbei smiled slightly. Farmers are very realistic. Whether you are financial management or dividends, the money you get is your own money. But Xiangbei also agrees with a view that farmers cannot get rich overnight. Although this is one-sided, he has also heard of many examples of farmers spending all of them within a few years after they receive huge compensation. Therefore, in such a period, how to change the original concepts of farmers and how to establish a trust relationship is a test of the wisdom of an official.
What about the differences?
The project has reached this point, and everyone has been affected after the suspension. Now some villagers hope to restart the project as soon as possible. Everyone is also worried that there will be more dreams in the night and the project will have new changes.
In addition, I also want to know some information. Xiangbei continued to ask, do the villagers know about the notice of the land acquisition project at that time?
Luo Jingchen said: I remember that I seemed to have told you last time. You also learned about it in the village, and no one knew about it.
However, the materials provided by the city’s land and land department include the signature and seal of the village committee.
I don't know this.
I don’t know? Luo Jingchen was the deputy director at that time. Did the village committee’s materials not handle? Or did Xu Changlin hide the truth alone? Xiangbei had a lot of questions but didn’t say it.
Uh, I have a piece of material here, I would like to ask you to take a look. Xiangbei took out his mobile phone, opened the album, and searched for the documents provided by the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau that he took at that time.
To the reporter, you wait a moment, I have something to do, make a call.
Before Xiangbei could react, Luo Jingchen had already arrived outside the door. It seemed that his expression was not very good. Could it be that he really disturbed him, Xiangbei and Luo Fangyi looked at each other.
About five minutes later, Luo Jingchen entered the room.
Teacher Luo, you didn’t disturb you.
It was okay, Luo Jingchen opened the vent of the coal stove, picked up his tongs and poked the cinders out, and then picked up a new coal ball from the pile of coal balls at the base of the wall and added it to the stove. A burst of coal smoke rushed out of the pipe. Luo Jingchen seemed to be choking and coughed violently. Then, he picked up a basin of leftover vegetables from the dining table and placed it on the coal stove. The leftovers at noon were heated.
This old man is really good at it. However, I have never seen his family these days, so what is going on? Xiangbei is quite confused: Teacher Luo, I'll take the liberty to ask, do you live alone? Where is the family?
My wife passed away early. Now I live by myself. Oh, and I have a daughter who works in Guangzhou.
You have to take care of yourself.
It doesn’t matter. After so many years, I have experienced everything I should experience, and it’s time to reunite with my wife. Luo Jingchen sighed.
Don’t say that, there will be a long time to enjoy happiness in the future. Xiangbei said, “There is another thing that Xu Changlin has released?”
When Luo Fangyi heard Xiangbei mention Xu Changlin, he looked at him alertly. Didn’t this man commit suicide? The master didn’t know why he asked knowingly?
How is that possible? If he is released, I still don’t know?
So do he have any brothers and sisters?
I have never heard of it. As far as I know, he is the only son.
Oh? Is that so strange. Xiangbei said to himself.
What's strange? Luo Jingchen asked.
Xiangbei was about to tell the story of what happened just now, and a call was displayed on the mobile phone. It was Yu Chongming, Xiangbei, have you arrived in Hedong?
Yes, Mr. Yu stood up to the north and walked out of the communication room while replying.
Come to the unit quickly, something urgent! Yu Chongming's tone was heavy.
I'm late and still getting to know the situation with the villagers
Yu Chongming said: Come back as fast as possible!
OK, I'll be nervous right away! Xiangbei became nervous, and Yu Chongming seemed to be angry.
What happened?
Chapter completed!
