Chapter 67 The same people have different fates, the rivers and lakes go their own way
For ordinary people, the 30th day of the lunar calendar is the New Year. As the twelfth month begins, the New Year atmosphere in Kuanyang Township is getting stronger and stronger. I am very busy cooking meat, sticking Spring Festival couplets, buying New Year’s goods, steaming rice cakes and setting off firecrackers.
Cheng Jiemin walked on the bustling streets and looked at the crowds in the New Year market. His originally depressed mood was also infected by the lively scene. In the past few days, he has seen Lu Xiaoyang several times, but every time Lu Xiaoyang is very intimate, but he just doesn't say anything about work.
From Lu Xiaoyang's reaction, Cheng Jiemin had already felt Lu Xiaoyang's indifference and alienation towards him. Moreover, the attitudes of others towards him also changed silently. Although everyone politely called him Township Mayor Cheng, it can be seen that not many people took him, a cadre who enjoyed the treatment of deputy Township Mayor, to heart.
Although Cheng Jiemin felt uncomfortable in the face of this situation, his rationality told him that the more this situation, the better it would be. As a newcomer, all he had to do now is to observe calmly and make plans after the New Year.
After calming down, Cheng Jiemin, who lived in the township government, felt much more open, as if he had returned to his time in middle school in the village. This was one of the reasons why he came out to the market this morning.
"Doudu"
The pager suddenly rang. Cheng Jiemin picked up the pager and took a look, and saw that it read: "Cheng Jiemin, I am Li Jinhu, please call me quickly."
Is there anything wrong with this guy Li Jinhu calling? Cheng Jiemin took a look around and saw a public telephone at the door of the post office not far away. Cheng Jiemin walked over and dialed according to the number left by Li Jinhu.
"I am Li Jinhu, who?" As soon as the phone was connected, Li Jinhu's very stylish voice came over.
When Cheng Jiemin followed Chen Bingnan in the past, he often heard Chen Bingnan speak like this. At this time, he felt a little strange when he heard Li Jinhu's voice. However, he still smiled and said, "Leader Li, where is Cheng Jiemin!"
"Oh, you guy is just kidding me and calling me leader. Could it be that you think I didn't call you Township Chief Cheng?" Li Jinhu spoke very well, and he made you feel very intimate as soon as he spoke.
"Brother, what are you busy with?" After Li Jinhu learned that Cheng Jiemin was five years younger than him, the two of them became like brothers and brothers.
Cheng Jiemin giggled and said, "What else can you be busy with? You are not busy with anything."
"Me too. I really don't know what the leader asked us to come down at this time! Although the team meeting assigned me a lot of work, who is still interested in doing work during the New Year!"
From Li Jinhu's words, Cheng Jiemin could feel that Li Jinhu's working environment was pretty good, which further confirmed his guess that he was deliberately left alone.
"Brother, it's almost the Chinese New Year. I'm going to go back to the province after the 16th day of the 12th lunar month. Although our group of agricultural support cadres come from all over the world, since they come to Cangliu County, they have come together for a common goal. This fate is not easy. Therefore, I think we will gather together and have a chat." Li Jinhu changed his tone and expressed his meaning.
Cheng Jiemin smiled and said, "Brother, you can decide the time and place, I will wait for your call at any time."
"Since my brother said that, I'll set up a place, but we have to make an agreement in advance. Everyone has to come, don't make excuses!"
After hanging up Li Jinhu's phone call, Cheng Jiemin began to reflect on himself. Although these people who came together were their own competitors, on the other hand, they were also their own resources. Being able to be allocated to a local area to support agriculture is a fate. Li Jinhu was able to take the lead in starting this matter, and this person really has the eyesight!
Thinking about Li Jinhu, Cheng Jiemin couldn't help but think of his division of labor. Judging from the attitude of Li Jinhu calling, the phone should be exclusive to Li Jinhu. There are three or four phones in a village. Li Jinhu can get a dedicated phone when he first arrived, which means that his situation should be good there.
Cheng Jiemin felt a little sad when he thought that he was still left with the familiar environment. However, as soon as this decadent appearance, Cheng Jiemin secretly encouraged himself: "You will collapse with just a small blow? If you really give up now, how can you be worthy of Gu Xixi who is deeply in love with you? Do you really want her to make a big fuss with your family in three years? "
"Stop that little thief, don't let him run away!" Suddenly, a riotous voice broke Cheng Jiemin's thoughts. Cheng Jiemin looked up and saw a young man in front of him running towards him like a hundred meters sprint. In the young man's hand, he seemed to be holding a fruit knife.
Behind the young man, a man in a police uniform was chasing him from the back door while calling for someone to intercept him. However, the young man waved his fruit knife randomly and his arrogant look scared the person who was interested in coming forward to stop him.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Jiemin quickly made a judgment that the thief was running ahead. Cheng Jiemin used to go to the market with his family in his hometown. He still remembered the scene of an old man crying because of the money he used to sell pigs.
Almost without thinking, Cheng Jiemin ran over. Just as Cheng Jiemin took action, a man in his forties next to him also ran over.
"I'm paralyzed, who doesn't want to live and let me bleed him!" The thief saw someone stopping him, and roared in anger, and the fruit knife in his hand danced wildly for a few times.
The man saw the knife and hesitated for a moment, then made way.
The young thief saw the middle-aged man giving way and fled in a panic. As long as he crossed this street and entered the alley, he would have his companions to help him. The bullshit policeman ran very fast and was useless!
However, just as he was complacent and thought he was in sight of victory, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his side. Before he could react, he felt a pain in his body and then fell to the ground hard.
Before the thief could stand up, a young figure came to him. Without waiting for his reaction, he kicked the fruit knife in his hand and pressed him to the ground.
Why is this guy so powerful? The thief was desperate and wanted to struggle to overthrow it, but he felt that his hands were like they were being held by an iron hoop and could not get out of it.
At this moment, the police rushed over, and without saying a word, handcuffed the thief's hands first, then panted and said with a panting smile: "Brother, you are good at it. My name is Liu Tairan, I am from our township police station."
Cheng Jiemin then looked at Liu Tairan carefully and saw that he was about 30 years old and was smart and capable. Seeing him, Cheng Jiemin thought of Wu Daguang and wondered if this policeman was copied, why were they all righteous?
"Cheng Jiemin, from the township government." Cheng Jiemin smiled and introduced himself.
"From Township Government? It seems that no one has been in the township government recently!" Liu Tairan smiled strangely and asked in confusion: "You are the Township Mayor Cheng who came from the province to work and train, right?"
Cheng Jiemin smiled lightly and said, "What the village head? That's the superior's documents are well stated. To be honest, I'm just a big soldier."
"Director Liu, please forgive me this time and let me go astray! I promise you that I will never dare to come to your territory again!" The young man handcuffed by Liu Tairan began to beg for mercy.
Liu Tairan slapped hard on the shoulder of the young man and said, "Jiang Saner, what time has this been your first time? Look at these people who go to the market, they are all from the villagers. Is it easy for them to make some money? Are you so at ease when you steal money from them?"
Jiang Saner's eyes rolled and said pitifully: "Director Liu, I have nothing to do. I have a mother waiting for me to support me. I can do it myself for the hardships. I can't starve me. Don't worry, as long as you raise your hand and let me go this time, I will never dare again!"
Liu Taishan ignored Jiang San and said to Cheng Jiemin: "Guest Cheng, this guy is a habitual thief. I'll take him to the office first. If you have nothing to do, let's talk to the office together."
Cheng Jiemin went shopping alone, which was actually quite boring. When he heard Liu Tairan’s invitation, he smiled and said, “Then I’ll disturb you.”
Seeing that Cheng Jiemin promised readily, Liu Tairan had a higher evaluation of Cheng Jiemin. As a policeman, he liked such a man who showed his skills at critical moments. Liu Tairan could see clearly the kick just now. Not only did he kick accurately, but he was also very fierce.
At that time, he felt that this young man was extraordinary. Now he agreed to his invitation so happily, without any hesitation, and was very arrogant.
"Let's go with me to the office." Liu Tairan thought of Cheng Jiemin in his heart, but said to Jiang San.
Jiang Saner was also a person who knew the times. After hearing Liu Tairan's words, she walked west, but was grabbed by Liu Tairan and pointed eastward, saying, "Go to this."
"Director Liu, when will the police station move?" Jiang Saner looked at the crowd watching the fun around him with disdain and said to Liu Tairan with a shy face.
Although Cheng Jiemin had only been to Kuanyang Township for three or four days, he also knew that the Kuanyang Township Police Station was opposite the township government. Jiang Saner was right, and Liu Tairan asked him to go there, that was the wrong way.
Liu Tairan knocked Jiang Saner on the head without saying a word: "You can go wherever I ask you to go. Where did you come from so much nonsense?"
Cheng Jiemin looked at the market ahead and looked at Liu Tairan with a serious face. He knew this policeman with a righteous face a little more. Although Liu Tairan looked careless, this idea was really good. Now it is the peak period for the market. People from all over the village are there. Jiang Saner walked around the market like this, so where would he have the face to commit crimes in Kuanyang Township in the future?
Cheng Jiemin almost screamed for Liu Tairan when he thought about the reason!
