Chapter 8 Chapter Six

Han Wenju's worries are completely unnecessary.He stayed on the ferry for a few days in a sullen mood, but saw that everything was as usual, the river transport team went back and forth as usual, went to Baishizhai, went to Jingziguan, and went to Xiangfan, making money and making a fortune, feeling complacent.Besides, the little water man from Baishizhai didn't come back, nor did he write a letter. It seems that there are no major changes in Baishizhai.There is nothing wrong with Baishizhai, and Liangcha Town is also fine. The monk really caught the wind and rain, so it was useless to scare him.But Han Wenju is a very sophisticated person after all, he has to observe all the situation thoroughly before deciding on his next words and deeds, so he put away a little cleverness, and deliberately probed into Tian Zhongzheng's tone again.

Tanaka has been absent from the ferry for a long time. After all the wheat was harvested, the banks of the Zhou River seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Some families who were efficient at farming planted corn, and started the annual "send summer" for the steamed new wheat noodles to visit relatives and friends. The daughter and son-in-law returned after visiting Taishan Taishui, and the children all brought the flower decoration "paste couplet" presented by grandma and grandpa.These well-to-do men, women and children see the sky calling for boats on the ferry every day, while Han Wenju is talking and bickering with others, while lamenting his own misery in his heart, thinking that he has no children and guards a small water, but why? Being a widow at a young age prevents my family members from enjoying the "send summer" buns and love for their grandchildren in their later years.Tanaka Masa's family had the latest wheat harvest, and it was Tanaka Zheng who called a group of people from the town to his house to farm when they planted corn.Occasionally, on a night when the clouds covered the moon, Tanaka was taking a boat back to Xianyouchuan. Han Wenju saw that his expression was in a hurry, his face darkened a lot, and he lost a lot of weight. tight.When the boat rolled to the middle of the river, the mist filled the air and the sky was empty, he asked timidly: "Secretary Tian, ​​I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you busy with the township government?"

Tanaka said: "Too busy!" Han Wenju said: "Everyone envies you as leading cadres, but they don't know that you are busy! The Communist Party will have a lot of time, and it's a waste of time and money. That's all. Who can bear the pain! Secretary Tian, What's going on these days?" Tanaka finished his cigarette, took another, and said, "Of course there is a move." Han Wenju asked again: "Tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Tanaka said: "It is a good thing and a bad thing, and a bad thing is a good thing." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, just smiled, and went back to the village when the boat reached the shore.

There is nothing to be afraid of. It seems that Tanaka's words are ambiguous in Korean, but he is an official, and we are grassroots. Officials don't need to talk to grassroots.Seeing his hasty expression and his strange smile when he was about to land, Han Wenju's heart was not safe again. People in the world have great cleverness and small cleverness. Great cleverness is confused and foolish; small cleverness is often misunderstood by small cleverness.Tian Zhongzheng's depression was not what Han Wenju had inferred. He didn't go home for a long time, his food and drink declined, and he couldn't sleep at night. It was because he was troubled by another thing.The sister-in-law of the middle-aged woman in the family pressed him more and more to "familiar relatives", and Tian Youshan's exhortation from the county party committee also made him gather his wandering heart and think about the recent "familiar relatives".However, Lu Cuicui was pregnant. This woman, who was as ripe as a purple grape, shed water as soon as she touched her hands, and she became pregnant so easily. She really didn't have a child who should have a child, but gave birth to a child who shouldn't have had a baby!As soon as Cui Cui was pregnant, she proposed to marry him. She completely wiped out her previous meekness and became fierce like a she-wolf. The child is about to be born, let's see where the secretary Tanaka will put his face!Tanaka was riding on the back of a tiger, in a dilemma.Just at this time, the county allocated two recruitment quotas, which were recruited by the Zhoucheng newspaper to cultivate the role of reporters.There are only these two quotas in the whole county, but Tian Youshan, the secretary of the county party committee, wants to use these quotas as a prize for encouragement and recognition. Thinking of the merits of Liangcha Township's river transport team, he sent them all to Liangcha Township.Tian Zhongzheng immediately encountered a boat in a sea of ​​bitterness. He first considered Yingying first, so as to calm his sister-in-law's panic, and then told Cui Cui about the matter, and Cui Cui definitely asked her younger brother to take the second place. places.Tanaka is negotiating with Lu Cuicui: his younger brother can promise to go, and the child in Cuicui's belly will have to be beaten, and the marriage will be discussed later.As soon as Lu Cuicui agreed, Tian Zhongzheng called Tian Yishen and asked him to lead Lu Cuicui to Jingziguan far away to have an abortion in the name of looking for goods to sell.

On this day, Tian Yishen and Lu Cuicui took a boat to Jingziguan. Han Wenju saw it at the ferry, and he looked at Lu Cuicui from head to toe with his porcelain eyes. Qifen is a vixen, remembering that when I was young, I saw many such women in Baishizhai and Jingziguan's kiln sisters upstairs, and felt a little contemptuous, and spat a few times in the river.Lu Cuicui blushed a little when she vomited, and Han Wenju immediately realized that evil was not overpowering righteousness, Xiao Clever came up again, wanting to tease the little fox deliberately, and said, "Is this Cuicui? It's rare to see him on the ferry." You, are you going to Baishizhai to buy medicine?"

Cuicui's eyes wandered, and she said, "It's for Baishizhai." Han Wenju said: "Baishizhai is a lively place, and it should be beautiful! Cui Cui, I heard that your father has contracted the clinic. Is the business going well?" Cui Cui said, "It's okay." Han Wenju said: "No wonder Cui Cui is dressed so gorgeously, Cui Cui, look at you, you are so decent, you will become an official family in the future!" Tian Yishen, who was busy on the boat, heard this, and said stiffly, "Old Han, you drunkard, you've probably pissed on too many horses again. You don't care about your son-in-law, but I can't find you anyway!"

Han Wenju said: "Captain Tian, ​​what I said is wrong? Do you dare to bet with me that Cui Cui can't become an official?!" Tian Yishen said with a serious face: "Old Han, let me tell you, you really need to be careful with your stinky mouth! Many people reported that you spread a lot of unfavorable words on the ferry. You said that the current policy will change. Have you heard such rumors?" Han Wenju immediately became honest and said, "I said that." Tian Yishen said: "What does this mean? Are you dissatisfied with the current government policy? Do you want to disturb people's hearts? Did you create it, or did you sell it to others?"

Han Wenju wanted to say that he heard this from the monk, but he didn't want to involve outsiders.Said: "The man on the boat said it. I really forgot where that man was from and his last name. He was wearing a blue coat." Tian Yishen said: "You old ghost! If it was a few years ago, you wouldn't be able to afford it!" Han Wenju was suddenly in a gloomy mood. He watched Tian Yishen help Cui Cui get on the boat and set off. He said sharply, "Captain Tian, ​​do you think I'm hoping for a change in policy? I'll inquire about this and ask for a change." This news is all because of the fear of policy changes!"

Tian Yishen ignored him, and the boat slowly drifted away in the middle of the river, and finally turned into a point, and disappeared suddenly at the junction of sky and water.Han Wen Jushuang stood on the ferry boat, suddenly, he was very excited.I thought: Doesn’t Tian Yishen’s words mean that this policy will not change?Hmph, as long as this policy remains the same, you, Tian Yishen, will be the captain, and you can manage the boats of the river transport team, but not my Han Wenju ferry!Tanaka can't help it! ! Han Wenju was happy, and he stood at the ferry and roared like a wolf.But Fu Yun didn't know where he died, so he didn't come to talk with him or drink with him.Han Wenju drank a few cups by himself, but felt that there was no one to communicate with, and the taste of drinking was gone. Seeing that it was getting late and there was no one on the ferry, he parked the boat there and went into the village to find luck. Only then did I find out that Fu Yun had asked Tanaka Masa's sister-in-law to dig deep into a vegetable field again.The old man was melancholy for a long time, then he suddenly thought of the golden dog, and went straight to Bujinggang.

In the past six months, Jingou has become more and more attentive to Han Wenju, and Han Wenju has become more and more convinced of Jingou.This kid is fine on the shore, but when he is on the water with a wooden raft, he is a desperado who forgets everything else. Han Wenju felt that he was not so handsome when he was young when he ran across the Zhou River!During this period, every time he came back from the discharge, Golden Dog would go to the ferry to sit with him, almost took out a bottle of good wine for him, and said, "This is brought to you by Xiaoshui!" Han Wenju would boast Said Xiaoshui once, then opened the wine bottle, and the two shared it. Several times when they got drunk, they said with tears: "My little water treats me so well, I am sorry for my niece! Talk about talents, talk about morality, talk about Temperament, my Xiaoshui is a person who deserves to be blessed, but she has a hard life, and she became a widow for no reason!" Encountering this situation, the golden dog also shed tears and comforted him in every possible way, and stayed until Han Wen got drunk and fell asleep. When I go home, I will show my respect to Han Wenju just as I would to a dwarf painter.The wine brought by Xiao Shui continued, so Han Wenju wrote a letter and asked the golden dog to bring it to Xiao Shui, saying that everything was fine here, and the boat money collected was enough for him to drink, and asked her to save money in the blacksmith shop Now, I should save it well, so that I can manage her new home when I have a good partner in the future.But Xiao Shui quickly sent a letter, saying that she had never brought wine at all, and that the wine was all bought by Jingou with his own money.This Han Wenju was puzzled, and didn't understand why the golden dog was.He suddenly wondered if there was another reason for the golden dog, so he asked other people, and they all just laughed and said, "That's such a good thing, anyone who wants to buy me a bottle of wine, I'll go and burn incense." !” He once brought him another bottle of wine from Golden Dog, and he said, “It’s brought by Xiao Shui again?”

The golden dog said: "She said, let you drink some every day, but don't get drunk, people can't hold the alcohol when they are old!" Han Wenju stared at Jingou in a daze, and said, "Jingou, you are a liar, do you think I don't know, you bought this wine yourself!" The golden dog's face turned red, and he immediately smiled and said, "I bought it, so you don't want to drink it? I drank with you since I was a child, can't I pay you back?" Han Wenju said: "Tell me honestly, what is your intention?" The golden dog blushed even more, but said calmly: "What's your intention? Do you have an intention to let me drink?" Han Wenju thought for a while, and this was the same thing, so he quietly suppressed a certain thought that came up in his heart, and didn't mention it again.The two began to sit and drink, and when they were drunk, they slyly said: "In today's affairs, the elderly are important, but the elderly are old after all, and everything they say is just a reference. The problem lies with the young people." , It's your young people's business!" After he finished speaking, he casually looked at the golden dog's expression secretly.The golden dog listened to every word in his heart, and pretended to be chaotic, the world was not awake, and asked instead: "What do you mean by that?" Han Wenju's heart cooled down a lot. That night, Hanwen went to Bujingang, but Jingou was not at home. He collected and milled the Bibao Valley and then went down the river to Baishizhai. He didn't come back for a few days.The dwarf father used bituminous coal and colloidal ink sticks under the lamp, enthusiastically made Hanwen sit up, and looked straight at him with small but bright eyes and asked: "Did you send Jingou to Baishizhai to buy anything? The child should be a small person, but a mistake is a big one, and he hasn't come back for a few days!" Han Wenju said: "I have something to buy, let's take a look at him, I don't know what's going on outside recently!" "What happened?" asked the dwarf. Just as Han Wenju was at a loss for words, the dog in front of the door bit him, and then a beam of flashlight came in through the door opening.Before Han Wenju could see who was coming, the man yelled in a high voice: "Oh, old Han Bo, you are here! I called for a boat at the ferry, but no one answered, so I waded over, while wading While scolding: This old and unscrupulous person has gone to some woman's house again!" Han Wenju said: "Captain Cai, you are a sinner! Two years ago, the Zhou River flooded and washed down a woman who was thirty years old. I rescued her, but she knelt down in front of me and kowtowed, saying that she would repay me. I said: What?" Repayment? She said she would give me money, and I don't care for her money. Later, she wanted to repay me with her body. I patted the flesh on that leg, which was plump, and let her put on pants. The things are good things , people are useless!" The three of them laughed, and the dwarf scolded: "You are better than a blessing! Wen Ju, you have suffered a lot with this mouth. In the next life, you will become a donkey or a horse and you will not be reincarnated!" Cai Daan sat down, pressed the yellow dog beside him, and asked the dwarf, "Has the golden dog come back yet?" The dwarf said: "Wen Ju also came to look for the golden dog. What's the matter, I asked you to come in the middle of the night?" Cai Da'an didn't say anything immediately, but glanced at Han Wenju. Han Wenju said, "You have something important to discuss, and I'll go to the bedroom to smoke." Cai Daan said: "You have a close relationship with Jingou's family. It's not a top secret that you are sitting. It's a good thing about Jingou. Just listen and don't spread it." Han Wenju just sat down, looking careless. Cai Daan said: "Tomorrow, someone has to go to Baishizhai to find the golden dog! The newspaper office in the city of Zhou asked our county to recommend two journalists. Secretary Tian asked the county party committee for the spots, and wanted Yingying to go. There is a quota, I recommend Jingou, Jingou has done this in the army, and he is a retired soldier, it just happens to be a placement, but Tian Yishen wants to recommend another person." When Han Wenju heard that he was recruiting cadres, he didn't understand the word "news", so he found out that he was a reporter. He knew the name of a reporter, and he was so excited for Jingou!When he heard that Daotian Yishen wanted to recommend another person, he asked, "Which person is it?" Cai Da'an said, "It's that Lu Xiaoliu from the east of the town." Han Wenju said, "Lu Xiaoliu?" Cai Daan said: "You will know her sister, her name is Cui Cui!" The dwarf was still confused, so Han Wenju called out, "It's that little vixen? Isn't she clinging to Tanaka Zheng?" Cai Daan was shocked and asked, "You said that! How do you know?" Han Wenju lost his intuition, regretted it too late, and said hastily, "Take it as my nonsense, and I also heard it from outsiders." Cai Daan stood up, looked outside the door, and said in a low voice when he came back, "Since you know about this, let's tell the whole story here, and it's over when we go out. This Cui Cui is the pimp that Tian Yishen gave to the secretary. He wants the secretary to marry this Cui Cui. Isn't this intentional to pull the leader into the water to make a mistake? Cui Cui is pregnant now and forces the secretary to get married, but the secretary can't ruin his future for a stinky bitch! Then Cui Cui will Threatened not to have a miscarriage, the secretary had no choice but to let his younger brother take up the quota as a condition, and then agreed to Hetian Yishen to go to Jingziguan to have an abortion. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Let the golden dog come back, and go to the township government to sign up quickly. It is estimated that the township government will provide four or five candidates, and the state city newspaper will come to investigate. This matter cannot be missed, the sooner the better! The township government will not allow the internal situation to be disclosed, but what is the relationship between Jingou and me? It is a mistake, If I'm being punished, I have to come to let the air out!" The dwarf panicked all of a sudden, his hands and feet twitched, and he was grateful, so he hurriedly fetched wine to greet him.Han Wenju interjected: "I've seen the golden dog a long time ago. It's not an ordinary person's face. This kid went to the Zhoucheng newspaper, and he will become a big shot. Xianyouchuan is not from the Guangtian family and the Gong family! But then again. Well, since Secretary Tian agreed to Lu Cuicui, can he change his mind?" Cai Da'an said: "It's up to people, or hurry to find the golden dog! The conditions of the golden dog are the most suitable, but Tian Yishen refuses to agree. This person is very affectionate with the golden dog on the surface, but behind the scenes, he trips him up. I count him See through!" Han Wenju said: "Isn't your river transportation team very profitable? I heard that Tian Yishen is in the warehouse in Baishizhai, and he is quite good at doing business?" Cai Daan said: "That man is the worst, and he has a great reputation outside. The river transportation team is not the work of Jingou and the others. Ask him how many times he got down the river and how far he ran? He can only talk! Just think Taking power, it seems that the Heyun team is all due to him!" While refilling the wine, the dwarf tentatively said, "Don't Secretary Tian trust him?" Cai Da'an said: "That's my opinion on Secretary Tian! I don't know what he thinks, but Tian Yishen?! Everyone is dissatisfied with Tian Yishen, and there are private discussions about replacing him. Secretary Tian sees that the trouble is serious. He agreed to open the democratic election of the river transportation team meeting, so he tricked Secretary Tian. If the golden dog comes back, if you want him to unite with everyone, then don’t vote for Tian Yishen. What is that? A bunch of problems, let him take care of it, it must be a bad bag!" Han Wenju didn't quite understand the affairs of the Heyun team, and he didn't dare to express his opinions casually, but he wondered: one Heyun team has two captains, but they are so contradictory that they can't urinate in the same pot. Isn't this the same as the old party secretary and the chairman of the Poor Association? ?What's the matter, those who eat national food and those who eat agricultural food, big and small, don't get along with each other when they become officials? !If you don't get along, let's not get along, and Han Wenju is very happy when he has a fart with him: Since the Heyun team is still arguing about being the leader, they have quarreled about the golden dog's good deeds!He picked up the flagon and yelled that the wine was dry, saying that the dwarf's house was about to run out of wine, so he went to the boat to get it.The dwarf took another bottle, and the three touched one cup after another. Han Wenju got drunk first, and said: "Captain Cai, listen to you, Secretary Tian's Yingying is also going to the newspaper office? Isn't Yingying in the store in Liangcha Town? If she has food from the country, she will occupy a quota. Can that woman write articles?" Cai Daan said: "Isn't Secretary Tian going to the county to ask for this quota, can it be allocated to our township? If it is not allocated to our township, the golden dog can go? What kind of work is not done by people. If you are not familiar with the business, you can learn it. Stay here The store is free and free, how promising can it be?" Han Wenju brought up a past incident and said: "Ten years ago, a reporter from the Zhoucheng newspaper came to interview me and asked me about the revolution in Xianyou Chuantian's family and Gong's family. After leaving, a large page was published in the newspaper. Journalists are very capable! It is good for an incompetent person to be an official. If you want to go to the newspaper to write articles, I think it is hard for Yingying!" The dwarf said, "Han Bo, you're probably drunk again!" Han Wenju stood up and said, "I drank too much. I'm old and I can't hold it anymore! Forty years ago, I drank two catties of Baigan and went to the Baishizhai brothel. The stinky toothwoman thought I was drunk. Asked me for three oceans, I scolded her, slept with that white face, and stole a piece of soap from her before leaving. I drank too much today, Captain Cai, I will not accompany you, I will go to the boat , you want to go back, call me from the river bank. I won’t ferry others, but you have to do it, do it.” Han Wenju went out from the door, the dwarf asked if he could go back, but he answered yes, he really staggered away. Back on the boat, Fu Yun was waiting for him in the cabin. Fu Yun was drenched in sweat and hiccupped.Han Wenju said, "I'm busy in the middle of the night, what can I ask for?" Fuyun said: "It really has meat, I ate twelve slices." After saying that, his face turned red, and he was troubled for a long time and said, "Uncle Han, do you think that woman is okay?" Han Wenju was drunk and dazed, and asked: "I ate meat for you, so you say she is good?" Fuyun said, "I mean..." but stopped. Han Wenju was stunned for a moment, a little sober from the wine, and asked, "Has this woman given you something better?" Fortune nodded. Han Wen raised his hand and said, "Okay, Fuyun, you know this? That woman is the secretary's sister-in-law, more than ten years older than you!" Fu Yun panicked and said: "Uncle Han, I didn't do anything. I dug the ground and went back to eat. The woman gave me meat. After eating the meat, she said I was tired, so she let me sit on the kang." When she stretched herself, she took off her shirt and yelled that it was hot. I didn't dare, I was afraid that people didn't mean that. Then she sat close to me, and I was afraid again, I was afraid that people were trying to trick me. I He said he wanted to go to a hut, and he came to the boat as soon as he went out." Han Wenju spit on Fu Yun's face and cursed: "You are worthless, what tricks can that woman give you? I want to be young, so I can manage these things? Even if she has tricks, you should follow the tricks!" Fu Yun stayed aside, panicked. Han Wenju couldn't help laughing, looking for words to make good luck, and then fell to the side, saying: "You have no seed, don't you know how much Tian Zhong is dating outside? That woman is in her early forties, just crazy At that time, at thirty she was like a wolf, and at forty she was like a tiger. First, she couldn't keep it, and second, she wanted to take revenge on Tanaka Zheng. If they don't find me... I can't do it. You are a big and rough boy, but you don't know how to deal with women!" After finishing speaking, he tilted his head, spit out a puddle of filth, and said nothing more.
