Chapter 1580 I Am Not a Rat

On the day before New Year's Day, Yang Xiaotao left Yangjiazhuang and returned to Sijiucheng.

Comrade Lao Jin also came back with Yang Xiaotao.

It's not that Comrade Lao Jin wanted to come back, he really had to come back.

The reason was that Ms. Cui was sick.

A few days ago, I went to the toilet, and somehow I had a runny nose the next day, and then I had a fever. I went to the clinic and found out that I had a cold.

At Ms. Cui's age, a common cold is not a minor illness, which is why Yang Xiaotao hurried back.

Otherwise, with the busyness of Yangjiazhuang, it would really be impossible to leave.

In the courtyard, when Yang Xiaotao came back, Ran Qiuye was helping Ms. Cui bask in the sun in the yard.

Zhang Qing followed the two of them with a kettle and cracked melon seeds, occasionally interrupting them. Duanwu ran around with a group of boys, and a gray and white puppy followed behind him.

The remaining two were also not worry-free, one by one touched and pulled Wangcai, and even wanted to climb up.

It's strange that the two children bullied Wangcai even though Hei Niu was right next to them, which made Wangcai feel very wronged.

Woof...

When Wangcai saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, he immediately called out and ran to Yang Xiaotao, rubbing against Yang Xiaotao's thigh.

At this time, Xiaowei fell on Wangcai's head through her sleeves, her voice a little weak.

"Take her out for a walk."

Wangcai immediately barked and ran out of the yard.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

When Yang Xiaotao walked into the yard, Ms. Cui was coughing, and Lao Jin, who was standing next to her, also stepped forward and patted her on the back. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of concern.

Although he was usually very annoyed by Ms. Cui's mouth and couldn't talk back to her, he was still very nervous at this time.

Ms. Cui coughed twice again, glanced at Lao Jin, and then shook her head at Yang Xiaotao, "It's just a minor cold. Qiuye took her to the hospital and got some medicine. She will be fine after two days of taking it."

Ran Qiuye nodded on the side, "The doctor said she caught a cold. Just take medicine on time and drink more water."

Yang Xiaotao was relieved.

The main thing is that the fever now makes people feel worried, for fear that it will be the same as abroad.

"You should also take care of your health!"

Yang Xiaotao said, and several people talked in the yard for a while. Many people came to walk around when they saw Yang Xiaotao coming back.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao had two more pendants on his body, holding a daughter in one hand, and greeted the people in the yard.

At the door of the Jia family, Jia Zhang took a painkiller, then walked to the door and sat on a bench to bask in the sun.

For her, one day less of sunshine is one day less.

The countdown of life always makes her feel unprepared and anxious.

Just like now, seeing the beauty of the courtyard, I was thinking about when I would fall down and die.

Especially looking at the old lady surrounded by a group of people in the Yang family yard next door, it was just a common cold, not a serious illness.

As a result, not only was there a group of people around her, but they also served her during the day and took care of her at night, and even accompanied her to the hospital to ask about her health.

Looking at myself again, the only one I can count on is a remarried daughter-in-law.

Thinking of what happened during this period, I regretted agreeing to Qin Huairu's remarriage.

However, the most regrettable thing is perhaps letting my son marry Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, my son would not have died early, and she would have someone to rely on.

Someone to see her off to the end!

There was another burst of laughter in the distance. Jia Zhang looked over and saw three children circling around the adults, making people laugh.

"Banggeng, Xiaodang, Huaihua!"

"We, the Jia family, also have three children!"

Instantly, Jia Zhang's eyes were filled with longing.

...

Yangjiazhuang, on the construction site!

"Village chief!"

Yang Shitou ran over quickly, looking at the man waving a hammer in the distance, and shouted loudly.

Yang Dazhuang put down the hammer, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and someone beside him took over and continued to hammer the wooden stakes, then stepped forward, "Shitou, what's wrong?"

Seeing Yang Shitou sweating in the cold weather, he knew something must be wrong.

"Village chief, go and see, Uncle Ding at the grain station, was, was..."

"Fatty Ding, what's wrong with him?"

Yang Dazhuang frowned and asked anxiously.

Yang Shitou swallowed his saliva, calmed down, and then spoke.

"I drove to the grain station to get grain today, but before the car entered, I saw a lot of people standing at the entrance of the grain station."

"Then the gate was blocked by people wearing red circles and no one was allowed to enter."

"I asked around, and finally heard from the first person who came that someone came to check the inventory. Anyway, Uncle Ding has been isolated, and the details are still unknown!"

Yang Shitou only heard about it. No one knows the specific situation, but it looks like it's definitely not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he hurried back to talk to Yang Dazhuang.

After all, they went to the grain station to get grain. Now there are more and more people on the construction site. If it's one meal, it's okay, but if there's no one later, it will affect the progress!

Obviously, Yang Dazhuang also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately asked, "Didn't you take out the approval from your superiors?"

Yang Shitou nodded, "I did, but the people at the door said that they were checking the inventory inside and it was temporarily closed to the public."

"Asshole!"

Yang Dazhuang looked serious, but he had figured out the cause and effect in his heart.

Ding Pangzi has done a lot for the farm over the years. He has also worked diligently at the grain station and has done some practical things for many villages around.

Especially when it is difficult in winter, it is inevitable that some poor households can't make it. The village will go to the grain station to get some grain. Ding Pangzi didn't make it difficult. As long as it is handed over next year, it will be fine.

It is precisely because of these life-saving grains that fewer people have starved to death over the years. Everyone can always survive with a little hunger.

But now, if someone checks the inventory at this time, it will definitely be accurate!

And he has also heard about those people. As soon as they arrive in the village, they start to point fingers, without considering the actual situation at all. They are full of passion and seriousness. It would be strange if such people can let go if they catch a handle!

"Village head, don't just stand there, go and have a look!"

Yang Shitou said anxiously, Yang Dazhuang came to his senses and ran to the brigade headquarters.

He stopped halfway and then turned to go out of the village.

"Drive, hurry up, go to the grain station!"

...

Grain station.

In the stationmaster's office.

This was originally the office of Ding Deliang and Ding Pangzi, but now it has become the place where he was interrogated.

And such interrogation has lasted for nearly three hours, which is a torture for Ding Pangzi.

Not only physical torture, but also mental torture, torture of his revolutionary spirit.

He never felt that he had second thoughts about the revolution. His greatest wish in this life was to follow the team and make revolution to the end.

For this reason, he devoted himself to his work, serving the people every day and solving problems for the peasant brothers.

And during this period, he lived a very happy life.

Every day when he saw the granary full of grain, he felt at ease.

With food in hand, there is no need to panic.

With so much food, more people can be fed, more people can build the country, and the country will get better and better.

Therefore, he felt that he was very important in this position.

Just like the chain connecting workers and farmers, hooking the two wheels and running forward together.

He was proud, at least in his heart.

But now, some people actually said that he was speculating and that he had a problem with his position.

He felt like he was going to explode.

Now, there is even more injustice!

Bang

"Ding Deliang, I warn you, don't quibble!"

"We have evidence, and now we admit it, and we can still strive for leniency!"

The middle-aged man who spoke had a fierce look on his face, and his palms kept slapping on the table. If someone with a guilty conscience was yelled at like this, he would probably be scared and trembling!

"Comrade, I have said it many times! Why don't you understand?"

Fat Ding was so anxious that he slapped the chair with both hands, but he had to repeat the original words seriously.

"There are several villages in our town. For various reasons, let me explain it clearly. There are two families in Guanjiaying. There are only lonely elderly people and three half-grown children left at home. The food provided by the village can't sustain them at all..."

"There is also a man in Huanghua Village who is idle all day long. He is lazy, but his wife and four children at home have to eat..."

"And Xinxiaozhuang, they are all mountainous, and the land that can be used to grow food is less than half of that of ordinary villages, but the planned tasks are no less than other villages. Every time this happens, every household is sad..."

Bang!

Fatty Ding was talking excitedly, and the woman on the other side suddenly picked up the enamel pot on the table and slammed it on the table, which scared Fatty Ding to shut up immediately, and even the middle-aged man next to him was startled.

"Ding Deliang, are you dissatisfied with the tasks assigned by the country? Or do you question the decision of the superiors?"

"I didn't!"

Fatty Ding answered immediately, with a serious expression.

"No? Didn't you send the country's grain away? You are stealing from the public, a rat!"

"You are talking nonsense, I am not a rat, I have not done anything to let the country down"

"No, why is there more than a thousand kilograms of grain missing from the grain station?"

"I... "

"What do you mean by me? The farmers' difficulties will naturally be solved by the organization, and you took out the grain without reporting it."

"Who gave you the power, who asked you to do this?"

The woman shouted loudly, as if she was facing an enemy.

Her eyes were like a knife against Fatty Ding's heart, "Besides, who knows how much of your more than a thousand kilograms of grain went into your pocket?"

Fatty Ding raised his head suddenly, "You, don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

"Hmph! Rat! Wait for the people's judgment if you are wronged!"

"You..."

Hearing this, Fatty Ding's round face turned red, and his eyes were wide open!

But facing the undisguised disgust of the two, it was as if there was a wall in his heart!

He couldn't figure it out!

He was a little overwhelmed, and fell into self-doubt.

He just wanted to do something for the peasant brothers, just wanted to help those in need.

It was like this before, and the higher-ups also knew about it.

Why is it that doing this now is considered embezzlement, and can only be regarded as a rat?

He didn't understand, he felt wronged, he had a sense of embarrassment that he had no place to complain, and he was even more confused about suffering a great injustice.

Helpless, at a loss!

"Chief Wu, the matter is very clear."

The woman suddenly said to the middle-aged man, "Based on the current facts, he has admitted what he did. I don't think there is any need to interrogate him!"

Chief Wu glanced at Ding Deliang who fell into silence, and then nodded, "Team Leader Shui is right!"

Team Leader Shui listened and nodded, "We will cooperate with the comrades in the follow-up work."

"We will find one of these rats hidden among the people and kill one!"

Chief Wu nodded, "Thank you for your active cooperation. Although we have been busy during this period, the results are fruitful."

"These are all what we should do. We didn't expect that there would be so many hidden saboteurs."

Team Leader Shui smiled, "We will work harder in the future!"

"That's the best!"

Chief Wu said with appreciation, and then signaled to the security guards on both sides of the room, "Take him away!"

The security guard nodded and stepped forward to pull up Fatty Ding.

"Let go, let me go, I'm not a rat!"

Fat Ding is a rebel, he wants to make it clear, he wants to clear his grievances.

But the people in the room didn't give him a chance and directly took him out of the office.

In the grain station, many people were waiting for the result.

Some of these people came to the grain station to do business, and some came to look for people, plus there were already many people in the grain station.

So when the people came out, everyone looked immediately and saw Fatty Ding being carried out, still shouting, "I'm not a rat, I'm not..."

But a few people didn't care at all, and they acted like a criminal!

On the other side, the staff in the grain station were all pale.

They couldn't understand why their stationmaster, who was so stingy with them, was arrested?

What's going on?
