Chapter 8 power of the masses

With a sound of "boom", broken stones flew into the sky, and dust rose from the back slope.Gangwa stood guard on the side near the school. He turned pale with fright, and cursed, "Bald, you pig, someone ran over." The curse continued, only a burst of crying could be heard. A female student stood on the path with a blue face and a black face, bewildered.Her partner fell down the slope, which was about two meters high, covered with bushes and weeds.Gangwa jumped down the slope and saw blood dripping from the forehead and face of the female student, thinking that the student had been hit by a flying stone, her hands and feet went numb.After figuring out that the elementary school student was only scratched by a branch, Gangwa scolded angrily: "You are blind and deaf, this is firing a cannon, and you are still running!"

When the first class was about to end, Hou Haiyang saw two female students entering the gate crying.At this time, another shot was fired from the back mountain, and his heart tightened, and he said to the students in the class: "Just now I taught a new text, you should recognize the newly learned characters again." He walked out of the classroom, stopped two students, and said, "What's the matter with you?" After the two little girls were crying, Hou Haiyang felt that the situation was serious, so he brought the two girls into the house and washed the wounds with clean water.When the get out of class was over, he called Ma Guangtou, Lao Wu and others to the office, explained the incident in a few words, and said, "This matter must be reported to the school, even if Liu Laoqi cannot be allowed to close the back mountain, there must be a safety measure. "

Baldy Ma hesitated to speak, but at this moment he already knew that the real owner of the mine was Liu Qingde. As a private teacher, Liu Qingde was a mountain to look up to, and he could not stop Gao Shan's actions. Another teacher, Lao Wu, didn't know Liu Qingde's existence, but he knew Liu Laoqi. As an old and weak private teacher, it was difficult for him to face violent young people like Liu Laoqi. Violence is the most essential power of conquest. Even in the 1990s, when technology was advancing with each passing day, violence still had decisive significance at the bottom of society.Especially in rural areas, a family with four or five strong laborers is definitely a family that cannot be ignored.The strength of a nation is not only the strength of the mind, but also the strength of the body.A national spirit that ignores the body eventually wears down.

Hou Haiyang said: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Wu, mining in the back mountain will have a great impact on the school. What do you think should be done?" Baldy Ma muttered, "The student wasn't hit by the bomb, he fell himself." Old Wu said: "This matter has to be handed over to the school." Then he stopped talking. Hou Haiyang's age is only half of the two old comrades, and his courage is one year more than the two old comrades combined. He first looked at Ma's bald head, then turned to Old Wu, and said: "This happened in the small town of Niubeishe Village. The matter involving the children in the village, Secretary Chen of the village cannot stand idly by. Take advantage of noon to find Secretary Chen and ask him to negotiate with Liu Laoqi. At the same time, we have to find the school. The three of us divide the work, and Teacher Wu stays at the school , Organize students to attend classes, I will go to the village secretary Chen, and Teacher Ma will go to the school." Baldy Ma was most afraid of offending the school leaders, so he hurriedly said, "I happen to have something to ask Secretary Chen, and I will trouble Teacher Hou to go to the school."

Hou Haiyang said: "Then I will go to school." It stands to reason that Baldy Ma is the person in charge of Niubeituo Elementary School. He keeps his head in everything, so the leadership is naturally handed over to Hou Haiyang. Everyone thinks it's normal. After school in the morning, Hou Haiyang went straight to Xinxiang School. Wang Qin, the principal in charge of the elementary school, was impatient. Hearing about this, he hurriedly followed Hou Haiyang to see the scene. He had just walked out of the town when he heard an explosion in the distance. When he arrived at the scene, Wang Qin saw Gangwa who was guarding the intersection, and said, "Mining cannot affect the students' travel. The place where you fired the cannons is too close to the path."

Gangwa said disapprovingly: "You didn't see that I was guarding here, and the students were not allowed to pass when the cannon was fired." Wang Qin stared at the dust floating in the sky and said, "Are you mining here for a long time or occasionally?" Gangwa became impatient, and said: "I don't know if I need to find Liu Laoqi." Wang Qin raised his foot and walked up the slope, and Gangwa threatened, "The top is firing cannons. Don't blame me for not telling me about the bombing." Wang Qin is a scholar, and a scholar can't tell clearly when he meets a soldier, let alone an unreasonable social youth.Hou Haiyang glared at Gangwa, and said, "Principal Wang, I can't tell here, so go to school first."

After waiting at the school for a while, Baldy Ma came back and said to Wang Qin in frustration, "Party Secretary Chen is drunk and can't come. He said that the mine has signed an agreement with the village, and all the certificates are complete, so he can't control it." Wang Qin was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and he complained: "It's because you have a lot of things to do." Walking back and forth in the room a few times, he said: "When school is over in the afternoon, some of your teachers went to the back slope to watch Let the students pass safely, I will go to the acting principal."

When Wang Qin left, Baldy Ma followed Hou Haiyang into the house, stammering: "I heard from Secretary Chen that Houpo is a lead mine or a lead mine. I'm not sure what it is, but it's a mine anyway, and the name belongs to Liu Qingde's wife." Hou Haiyang immediately understood why Baldy Ma didn't want to go to school. As the child of a private teacher, he understood Baldy Ma's situation too well, and said, "Mr. Going around, no matter what the mine is, there must be a solution.” After school in the afternoon, when the school was over, several teachers, like kindergarten teachers, led the students to the back mountain.At this time, it coincided with the firing of cannons in the back mountain, and hundreds of students crowded together.On the contrary, the primary school students found it amusing, talking and laughing, playing and playing.There was a sound of the cannon, and after the flying stone fell to the ground, the students ran across the path in a swarm.

Looking at the cheerful backs of the students, Hou Haiyang felt the responsibility on his shoulders. In the morning, Hou Haiyang came to the back slope before 7:30. Half of the back slope was blasted, and there were blue stones under the maroon soil.The bald man who had fought with Hou Haiyang sat on the pile of rotten rocks and yawned. Gangwa had a pile of eye droppings hanging from the corners of his eyes, and the circles around his eyes were black. Hou Haiyang said: "School starts at half past eight, can you fire the cannons at nine o'clock?" The bald head had fought with Hou Haiyang before, and he subconsciously stood up, looking for a tool at hand.Hou Haiyang raised his chin, twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled contemptuously, and said, "I'm not here to fight. Students are studying. If you can't solve it, your mine won't continue."

Gangwa stood up abruptly, leaning her neck upwards.Hou Haiyang really didn't want to fight, so he turned around and wanted to leave.Gangwa put her fingers in front of Hou Haiyang's nose, and said, "You silly bastard, why are you jumping here?" Before he finished speaking, Hou Haiyang grabbed Gangwa's wrist and twisted it outward.Gangwa was caught off guard, his wrist joints were reversely twisted by Hou Haiyang, and his body twisted according to the direction of his force, without any resistance. Hou Haiyang let go of his hand and whipped Gangwa, knocking Gangwa to the ground.He pointed at Gangwa's nose and said, "If you don't accept it, come again."

When Gangwa got up, she was holding a stone in her hand.Hou Haiyang didn't wait for him to stand up straight, took a step forward, put his calf between Gangwa's legs, grabbed her collar at the same time, and pushed back hard.Gangwa fell on all fours without reacting at all. The bald head was hit by Hou Haiyang's calf with a shovel. He knew that the person in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly pulled Gangwa back.Amid Gangwa's angry scolding, Hou Haiyang lit a cigarette and stood in front of a protruding boulder.There was a waste wooden stick beside the boulder, he had already calculated that if the two of them came up together, the wooden stick would be the most convenient weapon. Mr. Niu Beituo Wu also came to Houpo. He happened to be somewhat related to Gangwa. Seeing this, he quickly pulled Gangwa aside and persuaded her with a smile.By 8:30, there was no firing at the Houpo Mine.Hou Haiyang then stood up, patted his buttocks, ignored the scolding on the hillside behind him, and walked away. After entering the school, Baldy Ma, who stayed at the school to organize the students, said happily, "No cannons were fired today." Hou Haiyang said, "I was guarding on the mountain, and they didn't dare to set off cannons, but this is not a long-term solution." Baldy Ma blinked, He came up with an idea and said, "Teacher Hou, go to Secretary Chen and ask him to report it to the town." Niubeishe Primary School and the village office are not in the same place, so Hou Haiyang turned around and went to the village office to look for Secretary Chen.Less than half an hour after he left, a dozen or so dark men walked into the school. They were all strong men, some with sticks and some with shovels.The leader rushed into the school and started shouting: "Hou Haiyang, get out." In this group of people, there is no Liu Laoqi, nor Gangwa and Baldhead.They didn't smash the school's property, they just searched for Hou Haiyang all over the house.Ma Guangtou, Lao Chen and the students were all frightened by the vicious men. Hou Haiyang found Secretary Chen of the Niubeituo Village Branch in the village office, and told him what had happened in the past two days, saying: "There are students from the village who come and go, and you are the secretary of the village branch. You don't care about this matter." ?” Secretary Chen looked embarrassed, and said: “They have legal procedures.” Hou Haiyang said: “Is the legal procedures more important, or the lives of the students?” Secretary Chen struggled in his heart for a while, and told the truth: “This mine It was opened by Liu Qingde's wife. It cost a lot of money just to go through the formalities, bought machinery, and started to build roads. Calculate how much it is, and they paid the management fee to the village. How do you ask others to close it? " While the two were talking, Bald Ma ran in sweating profusely, and said, "It's terrible, something bad happened. A dozen or so people came to look for Mr. Hou with sticks. Fortunately, Mr. Hou was not at school. These people are not from our village." , five big and three rough, vicious and evil." Secretary Chen was taken aback, and said: "Mr. Hou, don't go back, first go to the village office to stay for a while, and I will go to the town to report." Secretary Chen left the village office, and Hou Haiyang insisted on going back to primary school regardless of Baldy Ma's obstruction.Bald Ma hugged Hou Haiyang's waist, and said, "Mr. Hou, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses." Hou Haiyang was furious, and said, "I can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth day. I just want to meet them. Don't you Go, so as not to suffer." As the saying goes, clay figurines are full of anger. Ma Bald has been unhappy for many years, and his heart is full of anger. Driven by Hou Haiyang, he finally released it at this time, saying: "Our teacher has worked hard to teach, and he is not annoying or annoying. It's just a handful of chickens, they are bullying too much, and they don't even look like a leader." The last sentence alluded to Liu Qingde, but he still had concerns after all, and he didn't dare to speak too much. Hou Haiyang thought that there were a dozen or so people on the other side, and a tiger was no match for a pack of wolves. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's about the safety of the students. It's not just about our teachers, it's also about the parents. Tomorrow, the parents of the students will come to the school for a meeting. At that time, we will look for mines with our parents." Ma Guangtou did not object to this suggestion, and said: "I will ask the students to call their parents over, and Teacher Hou will go to Principal Wang. She is the principal in charge of the elementary school. She can't remain indifferent when she sees the teacher being bullied." He was deeply scared in his heart. Although Liu Qingde, the school leader, was angry, he didn't dare to lick the tiger's beard. He just tricked Hou Haiyang to find Wang Qin. Hou Haiyang once again ignited his fighting enthusiasm, and said: "It's useless to find Wang Qin. If I want to report the situation, I will go straight to Le Bin. If Le Bin doesn't care, I will go to the county government. Tomorrow the parents will come, and we will take them to the place where the cannons were set off." Houpo, let parents see the conditions for their children to go to school." Back at Niubeituo Elementary School, Hou Haiyang called the students in his class and asked again about the situation of the dozen or so people who invaded the school. The students explained the situation fully.Through the language of Ma Guangtou and the students, he fully restored the scene at that time.Back in the dormitory, he smoked a cigarette by himself, and asked himself: "Baldy Ma is unreliable, Lao Wu is unreliable, elementary school students are too young, I can only fight alone. Is it worth fighting these people for the sake of school? Besides, I just A little guy who was abandoned by the school leaders." Immediately afterwards, he asked himself again: "Can I fight a dozen strong men by myself?" Hou Haiyang is young and energetic, but he is not arrogant and ignorant. He knows that there is a limit to the courage of a man.Moreover, the fights this time are different from the previous ones. Since studying in the middle school, there have been many fights. In the past, the fights were just for loyalty and minimal friction.This time the fight was different from the previous ones. It involved mining on the back slope. With interests, the fight was not about loyalty, it was a bloody fight. Recognizing the problem is one thing, but reality is another. Hou Haiyang must face the possible fight.He put the shovel at the door of the dormitory. As long as outsiders entered, he could quickly pick up the self-defense weapon. Then, he asked the students to move dozens of red bricks left over from the repair of the fence to the roof of the second floor.As long as the stairs on the second floor are blocked, one man is in charge and ten thousand are not allowed to open it. It is difficult for outsiders to rush up unless they try their best, and this matter has not reached the point of desperate. After making full preparations for the battle, Hou Haiyang found a blank paper and described what happened in the Houpo quarry in neat regular script, emphasizing the possible consequences. At the same time, he attached a schematic diagram from the school to Houpo.After writing the letter, he carried a brick knife in his waist and went to the town government.The brick knife is a tool left over from repairing the fence. It is a production tool, not a knife, but a brick knife is extremely powerful in hand, even if the opponent holds a dagger, it will not be passive. When I came to the town government, I couldn't find Le Bin, and the mayor Jiang Dabing was not there. Only the deputy secretary Liu Qingyong was sitting in the office.Hou Haiyang couldn't trust Liu Qingyong, so he returned to Niubeituo Primary School with the letter. In the afternoon, there were four or five explosions on the back slope.Neither the Xinxiang school leaders nor the town leaders showed up. After dinner, Hou Haiyang walked up the path to the dry slope behind the school and observed the distant mountain.When I was about to turn around and go down the mountain, I saw a dozen men walking quietly along the base of the wall towards the school gate with oxen on their backs.He was condescending and could clearly see the sneaky actions of these men. These men entered the school gate and looked around.They entered the kitchen, bathroom, and classroom, and stood in the courtyard for a while, but failed to find their target.At this time, another person came in from the outside, it was Gangwa who had conflicts with him in the morning.This group of people walked around in the courtyard, and those who wanted to do something even kicked the fence and the horizontal bar with their feet. Hou Haiyang found a rock and sat down, silently looking at Gangwa and his subordinates in the yard.Judging from their physical appearance, these people are all labor-experienced people, and they are strong and strong. Even if they can fight, it is impossible for them to fight one against ten.He was soberly aware of the power gap between the two sides, and suddenly felt particularly lonely and weak. After the group left, Hou Haiyang continued to stand on the dry slope for a while before returning to the courtyard.When going down the mountain, he once flashed the idea of ​​living in Ma Manzi's house, but felt that if he did so, he would be laughed at as cowardly, so he gave up the idea.After entering the small courtyard, I locked the door with an iron lock, and put bottles and cans in front of the gate. As long as someone enters the yard, there will be noise when they touch the bottles and cans.Then he took the sharp shovel to the head of the bed, opened the window, locked the door, and waited quietly for the enemy to enter the courtyard.While waiting for the enemy, a song popped out of his mind: "When a friend comes, there is good wine. If the enemy comes, he is greeted with a shotgun." As a result, the whole night was uneventful.Hou Haiyang used to sleep very well, but this time he rarely suffered from insomnia. He opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling, and there were more than a dozen figures of strong men in his mind, singing the lyrics repeatedly: "When friends come, there will be good wine. The enemy is coming, and he is greeted with shotguns." In his confusion, Hou Haiyang thought of another plan. He got up, picked up a brush and white paper, and wrote a letter to Liu Qingde in running script, the content of which was basically the same as that to Le Bin. After dawn, Hou Haiyang went to the yard to take away the bottles and pots, so as not to be seen by others and cause jokes.Around 8 o'clock, parents came to the school one after another. When it was time to start class, a group of women and old people came to the school.Three or four of them came to the school office viciously, scolding their heads and faces.Hou Haiyang is most afraid that no parents will come to the school. As long as there are parents who are willing to come, he may mobilize them to fight together.Facing the angry old man, he was secretly happy, and began to talk nicely about what happened. There were more and more students and parents. Seeing that the time was right, Hou Haiyang jumped up from the flag-raising platform and said in an angry voice: "Parents are invited to come today. The main reason is to discuss one thing. Since the day before yesterday, there have been mines in the back mountain. It is very dangerous for the students to pass through the cannons. If you don’t pay attention, there will be a safety accident. A female student fell into the ditch the day before yesterday. As a teacher of Niubeituo Primary School, I have the responsibility and obligation to explain the matter to the parents. " In Niubeituo Village, most young and middle-aged people work outside, leaving their children in the care of the elderly.Most of the old people in the dam are grandpas, grandmas, grandpas, and grandmas. They knew about the cannon shooting near the school yesterday. As soon as Hou Haiyang finished speaking, they became excited. You talk about it, and there are even more impatient people. Start scolding. "I'm just saying nothing. If you don't believe me, you can go to the scene right away. If you feel that the baby is not safe, let's go to the town together and let the town solve it." Hou Haiyang stood on the stage and put forward his own proposition. . Immediately there was a cloud of responders, and dozens of old men, old women and middle-aged women walked towards the back slope.Ma Bald stood at the door of the classroom, a little bit tongue-tied, but also feeling extremely relieved.Minzhuangong was a nail stuck in his heart, and Hou Haiyang's actions indirectly helped him vent his anger. When a group of people looked at the back slope from a distance, there happened to be another explosion, and stones flew and dust flew into the sky.Hou Haiyang said loudly, "Is it dangerous for my baby to pass here?" Hearing that danger and seeing danger with their own eyes are two different concepts, the villagers of Niubeituo were impatient. They didn't wait for Hou Haiyang to start again, and when the stone fell to the ground, they rushed towards the construction site.On the construction site, Gangwa and others were preparing for the next shot, but unexpectedly, a group of old people came up and occupied the construction site.These old people are all locals, and most of them know Gangwa, Baldhead and others.Some people said: "Gangba, what are you doing, Xiaoyao is in a small class on the back of a snake." Another person said: "They are all from the village, where do you let Xiaowa go?" A dialect that refers directly to the genitals is flying all over the sky. Seeing the old people going up the back slope, Hou Haiyang turned around and walked towards Changzhen. Wang Qin reported the matter to Dai Youming yesterday, and only got a vague answer, which is also expected. It would be surprising if Dai Youming gave a positive answer.After going to work in the morning, she still felt uneasy. After dealing with the matter at hand, she came to Niubeituo Primary School.Hearing that the parents of the students went up the back slope, they rushed over in a hurry. Before reaching the back slope, the sound of arguing was heard from afar.As soon as she arrived at the scene, most of the old men and women knew Wang Qin, and several of them were relatives of Wang Qin. When they saw her appear, they surrounded her. Only then did Gangwa, Baldhead and the others escape, and they all stood aside resentfully.Gangwa has been working in the coal mine. He can call a group of workers to settle accounts with Hou Haiyang, but he can't call a group of old men and old women.If it's a pure hooligan, he will beat the old man if he hits the old man, or he will just walk away.Now they want to open mines, and in the remote and closed new villages and towns, if they really want to beat these old people, their skin will be peeled off if they don't die. While explaining to the old people, Wang Qin looked for Hou Haiyang everywhere. Based on her understanding of Niubeituo's teachers, only Hou Haiyang had the courage to mobilize the masses. At this time, Hou Haiyang came to Xinxiang School and walked up the school gate along the blue stone ladder.Instead of going directly to the office building, he came to the playground to wait.Walking on the playground, he thought of Qiuyun who played basketball together again in his mind. In this closed and remote school, Qiuyun was a gift from heaven, warming his heart and accompanying him through countless cold long nights.After waiting for a while, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the students swarmed out of the classroom, filling up the empty playground in a short while, and starting to line up to do inter-class exercises.Dai Youming, Liu Qingde, Zhao Liangyong and others came out of the teaching building one after another. Zhao Liangyong was the first to see Hou Haiyang approaching, and secretly wondered: "Hou Haiyang has never set foot on the school gate, but today he changed his mind and came here on his own initiative, what's the matter?" He greeted him, but Hou Haiyang ignored him , but went straight to Liu Qingde. Seeing Hou Haiyang blocking him, Liu Qingde subconsciously took half a step back, and said in a fearful voice, "What are you doing?" With a smile on his face, Hou Haiyang handed the written letter to Liu Qingde, saying: "Principal Liu, I have something to report to you. Recently, someone opened a mine on the back slope of Niubeishe Primary School. They fired cannons every day. Students passed by the back slope. Life is in danger, here is my written report." From the first time he met Hou Haiyang, this son had no good words for him, and finally developed into a fist fight. At this time, he suddenly smiled, and Liu Qingde got goosebumps on his back. Under the eyes of all the teachers, he took the letter. Hou Haiyang looked at Liu Qingde with a smile, waiting for him to speak. Liu Qingde raised his head from the paper, and cursed secretly: "I used to only know that Hou Haiyang is unreasonable, but now it seems that this batch of children is still very insidious. He should know that I opened the mine." He handed over the letter Handed it to Dai Youming, ignored Hou Haiyang and continued to move forward. Hou Haiyang didn't care about his attitude, and said loudly: "Principal Liu, I hope you deal with it as soon as possible. I reported it to the school. If something happens, it's not my responsibility." Dai Youming learned about this from Wang Qin yesterday, he glanced at the contents of the letter and said, "Understood." He also walked forward. Zhao Liangyong stood aside, confused.He intentionally stayed behind the two leaders and asked, "What's the matter with you, provoking Principal Liu?" Hou Haiyang said: "Don't worry about it, talk about it when you have time." After finishing speaking, he walked away in a cool manner.After leaving the school, he came to the Xinxiang Township Government again, went up to the third floor, and saw that Le Bin's office was open, so he took out the letter and walked over.Someone was talking in Le Bin's office. Hou Haiyang waited outside the door for a while. After the talker came out, he walked in quickly. "Secretary Le, hello, I'm Hou Haiyang from Niubeituo Primary School. I have something to report to you." Standing in front of the table, Hou Haiyang handed over the written letter. Le Bin said: "Hou Haiyang, what's the matter? It's still so formal." He took the letter with a smile, glanced at it, and praised: "Your handwriting is so beautiful, and Xinxiang is number one." Hou Haiyang smiled slightly, but did not answer. Le Bin looked at the letter, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and said, "Still firing the cannon?" Hou Haiyang told the truth: "The mountain is being uncovered, and it may take some time to blow up. I am a teacher at Niubeishe Elementary School. When I encounter problems, I report to my superiors. If something happens after the report, I will not be responsible, nor will I. Be worthy of your own conscience." Le Bin said, "Have you reported to the school yet?" Hou Haiyang said: "I reported to the three leaders of the school, and today I wrote a letter to Principal Liu Qingde. I came to Secretary Le out of consideration for the safety of the students, and hoped that the government would take a decisive measure." Le Bin stood up, took the initiative to shake hands with Hou Haiyang, and said, "If all our cadres have a sense of responsibility like Xiao Hou, why should we worry about not doing well in our business?" After Hou Haiyang left, Le Bin was about to call Wang Shaojun from the enterprise office to inquire about the situation.The mayor Jiang Dabing came to talk about the matter, and he temporarily put aside what Hou Haiyang reported. At Xinxiang School, Liu Qingde heard that a group of old men and women had occupied the mine, scolding their mothers and getting a headache. In recent years, mining fever has spread all over the country.Shazhou, Maoyun and Maodong in Lingxi Province are rich in non-ferrous metal mines. The earliest and largest mining groups came from Shazhou, and gradually spread to Maodong and Maoyun.This time, part of the funds for mining in Niubeituo came from Shazhou, and the elder brother who was the executive deputy minister of the organization department acted as a broker. In order to avoid suspicion, the mine was opened in the name of Liu Qingde's wife.But Liu Qingde's wife mainly focuses on restaurants, and her interest in cowpeas and green beans is far higher than that of cold and inedible stones.Liu Qingde has experience in coal mines, and he is familiar with the road after driving a mine, especially in the ground-breaking stage. With Gangwa and Liu Laoqi and others, he doesn't need to worry about it at all. Liu Qingde called Wang Shaojun of the town enterprise office, and then waited in the private room of the restaurant. After twelve o'clock, the thin Wang Shaojun came to the restaurant, entered the door and said, "Brother Liu, you are the vice principal, can't you greet the teachers of the school?" Liu Qingde said: "This man is Wei Yan. He has a rebellious personality. He doesn't listen to anyone's words. That's why he was kicked from the central school to the bull's back. I didn't expect that this guy was too dishonest and started to make trouble again. The old man and the old woman are like a mess. Someone needs to organize it, and Hou Haiyang is definitely fanning the wind behind the scenes." The little man Wang Shaojun was a recruiting cadre in 1983. He had worked in enterprises for many years and knew the way of life in the countryside like the palm of his hand. On the construction site, what should we do?" Liu Qingde said: "We are now in Jiegai Mountain. We won't use so many explosives when we officially open the mine in the future. As long as we send people to guard the intersection during the blasting, there shouldn't be any major problems. It took such a big price to mine the mine this time." After getting the certificate, we even bought machinery and equipment, and the old women stopped when they made a fuss, so we didn’t suffer a lot.” When the two were discussing, Liu Qingde's wife ran over and said, "I saw the man with the bull's back running to the government." Liu Qingde and Wang Shaojun hurried out, stood in front of the window and saw about twenty old people walking towards the town hall. Le Bin read the letter written by Hou Haiyang repeatedly. The content of the letter was important, but the reason he read it again and again was the calligraphy. After a long time, he finally made up his mind: "When the time is right, I still want to second Hou Haiyang to the town government. After admiring the calligraphy, he called the office: "Youshu, call Wang Shaojun from the enterprise office." Then he called Zhu fucker from the police station and said, "Zhu Suo, come to my office." As soon as Le Bin hung up the phone, he saw a group of old men and women appearing at the door. Liu Youshu put down the phone, went to the enterprise office first, and then went to the restaurant to look for it. Sure enough, he found Wang Shaojun. Wang Shaojun followed Liu Youshu to Le Bin's office in a hurry.Le Bin stared and said, "Director Wang, do you know anything about the Bull Back Snake Elementary School?" Wang Shaojun said with a bitter face, "This is a newly introduced company. The county has an approval document. When it is officially put into operation, the profit and tax will not be small." Le Bin interrupted: "I know about this, but you didn't consider the problem of the entry and exit of elementary school students. The safety of elementary school students is a big problem, how can you ignore it? Let me explain two points, one is that the mine will be closed immediately, and the other is..." As soon as I said this, Director Zhu of the police station walked in the door. Le Bin said: "Old Zhu, in the new mine opened by Niu Bei Tuo, the explosives were stopped for a while. When you approved the explosives, didn't you watch the scene? That is the place where students must pass through in class." Director Zhu said: "The procedures at the mine are complete, and there is no problem in approving explosives." "How to ensure the safety of students?" "There are regulations for the use of explosives. If you strictly follow the regulations, there will be no safety problems." Director Zhu and Wang Shaojun have different identities. The police station is an agency of the County Public Security Bureau. The town party committee and government are not directly superior, so the attitude should be relaxed many. Le Bin pointed out the window and said: "The group of people in the yard are the parents of the students of Niubeituo Primary School, and they came to make trouble for this matter. Director Zhu approved the explosives. You can explain to them later." The director stood up with a smile, and said, "It's our police station's responsibility to be a thug for the government. I'll go down first to say hello." Le Bin grabbed a cigarette on the table, smiled and threw it to Director Zhu, saying: "Old Zhu, the explosives have to be stopped, and no one can take responsibility for any accident." Turning his face, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression Get serious: "You prepare a symposium, and invite the Xinxiang School, the director and party secretary of Niubeishe Village, the enterprise office, and the people in the mine to study how to open the mine and ensure the safety of the school. It will be scheduled tomorrow morning." Wang Shaojun went out At that time, he added: "Hou Haiyang, who is called Niubeisnake Village, also came to participate." Liu Youshu and other office staff came to the courtyard and began to persuade the petitioners.Afterwards, Director Zhu and Ling Huasheng also came down and brought a group of old men and women into the conference room. After Hou Haiyang came out of Le Bin's office, when he returned to Niu Bei Tuo, he didn't go to the school, but went directly to the back slope.There are about a dozen old people guarding the back slope, and Gangwa and others are sitting on the side smoking, and there is no construction. On the back slope, in addition to the trail, there is a dirt road buried, and there are road builders in the distance.Hou Haiyang estimated that this road is a machine farming road. Judging by the trend, it should be connected with another rural road. He looked at the road builders in the distance, and remembered what Secretary Chen of Niubeishe Village said, and thought: " This road is a simple road for transporting ore in the future, and Liu Qingde has really invested in it. Now that he has invested in it, he will not stop halfway, but if he wants to open the mine smoothly, he will definitely have to compromise when facing the local villagers in his village." Hou Haiyang thought for a while, and he walked upstream along the path by the river to see if he could find a shortcut for the students to bypass the mine. The trail is basically parallel to the river. The river is three to four meters wide and about one to two meters deep. There is water all year round.After walking upstream for more than forty minutes, I saw a small bridge.From this small bridge to the other side of the river, there is also a trail along the river on the other side. Walk along the trail on the other side of the river and walk down the river, pass a hill on the way, turn over the hillside, and continue on. After a while, you can see the back slope of the cannon.Going further, you will return to the small stone bridge in front of Niubeituo Primary School. Hou Haiyang calculated: "If primary school students do not go through the back slope where the guns are fired, they must bypass two small bridges upstream and downstream to reach Niubeiduo School. In this way, it took half an hour to get to school, but now it only takes a detour The two small bridges will take nearly 90 minutes more. The school starts at 8:30, and they have to get up at 5:30." "The easiest way to ensure the normal operation of the mine and ensure the safety of the students is to build a small bridge not too far from the mine on the back slope, so that the students can cross the river directly without having to detour another small bridge upstream. In this way, flying rocks on the back slope can be avoided, and time can be saved.” After this idea came out, Hou Haiyang thought over and over in his mind, and felt that building a bridge near the back slope was the only solution. At noon, Gangwa and others were notified by the police station to return the remaining detonators and explosives to the warehouse, and the workers withdrew from the back slope.The mine that had been bombed for two days quieted down, and the old people who occupied the mine withdrew accordingly. In the afternoon, the town government issued a meeting notice. Attending the meeting were Ling Huasheng, Secretary of the Town Disciplinary Committee, Wang Shaojun from the Enterprise Office, a policeman from the police station, Liu Qingde from Xinxiang School, Lao Chen, Party Secretary of Niubeishe Village, and Hou Haiyang from Niubeishe School.The school had originally notified Ma Baldou and Hou Haiyang from the Bullback Snake Elementary School that Ma Baldou would not attend this meeting, and the other teachers were even less willing to go.Hou Haiyang is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and in his mind there is no reason not to attend the meeting. After receiving the notice, he took part in the meeting with his head held high.He looked down on Baldy Ma and the others for their cowardice, and remembered a local saying: "Brave ones become dragons and tigers day after day, and cowardly ones hug hens every day. Baldy Ma is afraid of this and that, and has been bullied all his life." The new township office is located on the right side of the third floor and can accommodate twenty or thirty people.Ling Huasheng, secretary of the Disciplinary Committee with a pockmarked face, presided over the meeting. He gave a succinct opening speech, saying: "This is a meeting to solve problems, everyone, don't talk nonsense, talk about what you have, and talk about suggestions if you have any suggestions. Let the teachers of Niubeituo Elementary School speak first, then the village will speak, and then the enterprise will discuss the solution.” Hou Haiyang told the story of the incident in a few words, emphasizing the potential danger of flying stones to students, and cited the example of two female students who were almost injured after encountering squibs. Before finishing speaking, Gangwa, who attended the meeting, couldn't wait to say: "When we set off the cannons, we sent people to guard both sides of the path, so that no one would be hurt. Those two girls fell into the ditch by themselves, so fuck us!" What’s more, after uncovering the mountain cover, there will not be as many cannonballs as now.” Hou Haiyang said: "It is because of the shooting that the female students ran hard. How could it have nothing to do with you when they fell into the ditch? There will be less shooting in the future, which does not mean that there will be no need for explosives." "What's the matter? The stone didn't hit the girl, she fell down by herself, and she has shit to do with the mine." Hou Haiyang raised his voice: "The female students ran away because they were frightened by the firing of cannons. Seeing that the two were arguing, Ling Huasheng raised his voice and said, "Why are you arguing? Listen to Director Wang." Wang Shaojun said slowly: "This enterprise is a project for our town to attract investment this year. After it is completed and put into operation, there will be a large profit and tax. At present, all the procedures have been completed. The mine has ordered machinery and equipment, and the mechanical farming road is also being repaired. It is impossible. Just stop production. Of course, the safety of the students must also be considered." Gangwa said: "There is a bridge upstream of the small river, you can walk across the river and bypass our mine." Hou Haiyang went to scout the terrain and was not deceived. He said, "The bridge is too far away. The students have to walk around for an extra hour and a half, which is unrealistic." Hou Haiyang reprimanded Gangwa when she said a word. He looked at Hou Haiyang whose chin was raised slightly with hateful eyes, and said to himself, "I'm going to take care of you if you drag me like a dog day." Afterwards, Lao Chen, secretary of Niubeituo, and Lao Zhu from the police station also spoke, but they only talked about the specific situation. 凌华声听完几人发言，打了个哈欠，满脸的麻子顿时都抖动起来，当麻子平静下来以后，道：“这件事情说起复杂，其实很简单，矿山要开，学生也要过路，两者不矛盾嘛。小侯老师，你是牛背砣小学的老师，最有发言权，有什么好办法？” 侯海洋没有想到凌华声突然将球踢了过来，脱口而道：“真要解决问题，确实简单，在小河上架一座人行桥，让学生绕过矿山，走小河对面的小道，就彻底解决问题。” 小河平时不宽，只有三四米宽，一米到两米深。但是在汛期，小河会有十来米宽，五六米深。老桥只是简易桥，涨水就要被淹没。新修桥则必须要以汛期的宽度和深度为标准，桥的跨度要在十五米以上，加上引桥则有三十米。刚娃在煤矿里当放炮员，在老家还经常帮人修房子，他约莫知道修一座桥要多少钱，道：“本来河里就有一座桥，没有必要再修桥，修一座桥要十来万，谁修得起？” 凌华声脸色一变，瞪着刚娃道：“你能不能代表老板？不能代表老板就把今天开会的情况给老板说一声。镇里、派出所和村里都支持你们开矿，要不然你们哪里拿得到批文？就算拿到批文，不批炸药给你们，你们难道用锤子去开矿？就算你们有炸药开矿，村里不拿土地给你修路，你们的矿石从天上飞出去？小侯老师的办法最简单，我同意。” 会议结束不久，刘清德在第一时间知道此事，他马上给县委组织部的大哥打电话。大哥在开会，抽空在门外打了电话：“强龙不斗地头蛇，要想开矿，还得和地方搞好关系。老三，你的脾气得改一改，别作一介武夫。”刘清德最服大哥，可是不甘心出这么多钱，道：“我知道此事都是乐彬的意思，你还要想办法将乐彬调出新乡，免得碍手碍脚。”大哥在电话里训道：“这些事情不用你来操心，好好把矿山经营好。” 刘清德不愿意轻易就范，他与朱操蛋商量以后，又从库房里批了些炸药，轰轰炸了两天。第三天，他们正在修的公路就被牛背砣的村民断掉。断公路的不仅仅是老人，中年人都出动了。刚娃可以发动十来个工友对付势单力孤的老师，可是面对牛背砣村民的人民战争，十来个煤矿工人就无能为力。 公路被断掉几天以后，刘清德以及合伙人终于意识到必须妥协。找县交通局的工程师开始设计图纸，同时在修桥地点做施工准备。刘清永和刘清德两兄弟专门请村支书老陈喝了顿酒，机耕道这才又开始动工。 侯海洋无意中卷入了一场群体事件，领教了一次人多势众的真正含义，见识了群众斗争的威力。 矿山上面的土层。
