Chapter 137 Interrogation & See Through
Lin Lan pushed Cao Guangrong out to block Qiu Aihua, and she called an officer surnamed Wang, and asked him to accompany herself to understand the environment here.
Han Qingsong said that he touched the blue stone in a gully called Yuqing River in the commune. This river is actually some tributaries of the Changqing River, which is similar to the largest river in the Shanshui Commune. Generally, this kind of river will be built as a reservoir to store water. It is said that a few decades ago, when there was a lot of water, it was able to run boats. It is called the small south of the north.
At this time, Han Qingsong had already taken people to Yujia Village, but Director Tan was not going, accompanied by Minister Tan Zhaomin and Director of Public Security Wang Aiguo.
Lin Lan got on Han Qingsong’s bicycle and asked Cao Guangrong to communicate with Qiu Aihua, and she took the officer Wang with her.
To understand the publicity work of the commune, there is nothing you can see in the commune, so you have to go to the country brigade to see how the members are.
As a result, along the way, Lin Lan found this place… it looked like it was a few years behind Shanshui Commune.
In summer, the crops in the fields should grow lush and lush, but their fields are… sparsely sparse, and it looks really irritating.
As long as the environment is not too bad, there is no water, a lot of windy sand, bad soil, etc., there is water in the river at this time, and the land is OK. The local area is not like Lankao and other places where there is wind and sand from the northwest. , The environment is good, how did you grow crops like this?
In the words of Han Yongfang, “Too lazy, owe a beating!”
Lin Lan had a bad impression of this group of people in an instant.
Although it is now a collective work in the production team and the members are not motivated, in any case, you have to rely on the brigade to distribute food if you want to eat. How can you care about your stomach? Can’t let no one do it, just let others do it, and then divide the food by yourself?
“Brother, their commune has a big problem.”
Han Qingsong gave a hum, but didn’t say anything. This is his habit, and he rarely expresses his subjective comments on anything.
When they arrived at Yujia Village, they were received by the team secretary and team leader.
The secretary of the brigade was in his forties during the Anti-Japanese War, but his hair was gray and wrinkles on his face were piled up one after another. He looked like he was in his fifty.
When he saw the commune cadres, he graciously came forward to entertain and handed cigarettes.
Tan Zhaomin and Wang Aiguo both took it. They had a natural sense of superiority to the cadres and members of the Shanghai brigade, because the commune guided everything, and the brigade’s production, harvest, and other things were determined by the commune.
Yu Kang-Japanese handed Han Qingsong cigarettes, “Sir, eat cigarettes.”
He saw that Han Qingsong was wearing a police uniform, and his address was a bit old social.
Han Qingsong frowned slightly, “Don’t smoke, Han Qingsong, deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau.”
When Yu Anti-Japanese heard that he was a county cadre, he bent his waist even harder and nodded, “Disrespectful and disrespectful, Director Han, welcome.”
Han Qingsong lowered his head and glanced at him, his eyes were sharp, and he could see that the anti-Japanese was slowly straightening his waist.
“Director Han, you must help us catch the food thief.” Yu said that the stolen food was like ten years old, and the wrinkles on his face would fall off.
Han Qingsong didn’t answer the conversation, but first took people to their warehouse to investigate. In his opinion, there was nothing difficult to grasp at all.
Lin Lan winked at him, and said that she should find out about the propaganda situation.
Han Qingsong looked at it. In addition to Officer Wang from Qingshi Commune, he also assigned a police officer to stay here, “You are responsible for protecting Officer Lin.”
The policeman wondered what dangers could be here, but he still went obediently.
Lin Lan passed through the village, and the more she walked, the more frustrated she became: the village was too poor, and it was in tatters. There were low thatched huts and yellow mud walls everywhere. The walls of many people’s houses were still collapsing, and the inside was faint. It can be seen that people without clothes are dangling, probably the elderly or children who cannot go out.
She even saw men chatting under the tree.
At this time, when harvesting wheat and busy with summer pipes, weeding, fertilizing and watering the ground, serving cotton and corn and other crops, you will never be idle.
It is said that the local old farmers have no free time at all except for Maodong in winter. Even in winter, the brigade will organize sideline jobs and let the members arrange baskets, seats, or something. There is always something to do anyway.
But this village is really hard to describe in a word.
When Lin Lan saw women and children, she wanted to go to interview and find out. Who knew they would hide after seeing her. After walking around for a long time, Lin Lan didn’t find anyone who could ask questions. It was a little hot, so she said to wash her face in the river.
She saw that there were stones under the river bed, and ran down happily. She took off her shoes and went into the shallow water. The bottom of the river was covered with pebbles, so the river water was clearer and cleaner than the muddy bottom.
It’s a pity that they are all ordinary stones, there are no small blue stones that make her think about it.
At this time, a few children with shabby clothes and thin bodies came to wash the grass.
Lin Lan looked at them curiously. It was strange that the children went out to work while the adults were idle at home.
These children are too skinny, all skinny, their ribs are distinct, and their eyes are extraordinarily big. While washing the grass in the river, they picked grass roots or edible wild vegetables and stuffed them into their mouths, chewing them with a black-green juice.
Among them was a girl whose worn-out vest could only cover her chest. The girl was skinny, her hair was messy and her body was dirty, and she could hardly be seen as a girl. The boys are more casual, one wearing torn pants and a few with their **** bare, just walking around indifferently. They just saw her as a clean and beautiful outsider, they were a little uninterested.
The girl reprimanded several boys, “Eat so ugly, turn to eat.”
Lin Lan smiled at the girl, “It’s so cool in the river.”
The girl glanced at her. Although her eyes were wary of outsiders, she would always be curious and even feel a little inferior when she saw the beautiful kind.
“You…” The girl hesitated.
Lin Lan took a small blue stone out of her pocket and smiled: “I found this by the river, it’s so beautiful.” She squinted the stone at the sun, it was really nice.
The girl looked at this beautiful female cadre as a child, and felt cordial. She was not so wary of others. She grinned, with wild vegetables stuck to her teeth, “We have picked it up too.”
Lin Lan’s eyes lit up, “Where?”
The girl pointed to the river, “The big splash is thrown down.”
Lin Lan was so distressed that she wanted to jump down and fish up. She looked at the river and sighed.
The girl said: “This stone is useless, it’s not as good-looking as the glass. I used to get a few pieces and threw it away, and there are four blue pieces left. If you like me, I will give you two pieces.”
When Lin Lan heard that she wanted to give herself away, although she was happy and a little embarrassed, after all, other girls didn’t know the value of the stone in the future.
“Bai, I’m sorry, I’ll give you the money.”
“I don’t need money, or… you can give me something to eat.” The girl swallowed, staring longingly at Lin Lan. For hungry children, nothing is better than dry food. She had to spend money to buy food stamps. She had no money and couldn’t buy food with the money, so she had to ask for food stamps. So it’s the best food.
Secretary Wang smiled and said: “Guan Lin, what are you doing with this stone? It’s not for dinner. It’s not as beautiful as the glass beads. He grabbed the stone for the child and stabbed his hands.” He was afraid that Lin Lan would be touched by the little girl. The child cheated.
Lin Lan smiled: “I think it looks good.”
However, Secretary Wang felt that her child’s temperament was really different from the image of a propaganda expert that everyone said, “How much gold and silver have been lost in the past two years, and the stone is too bad to be thrown on the road.”
I was terribly hungry, and everything in the house was taken out for food. Gold and silver are not as good as iron, not to mention this kind of stone. What’s the use besides being good-looking? Paving the road? What stone is not easy to pave? I really can’t live!
Lin Lan: “Then I like this. Whoever wants me to trade Wowotou for him.”
Officer Wang thinks that Lin Lan is a common problem of beautiful women and likes to play a small temper. He also thinks that she is really a prodigal, and she actually exchanges wowotou for stones. Are you stupid? Why did Director Han find such a daughter-in-law? If you are your own daughter-in-law, you have to fan her with big ears.
But he didn’t say anything to avoid offending Lin Lan.
When several children saw Lin Lan’s Wowotou exchange, they all indicated that they wanted to change it. They would go down to the river to look for them if they knew how to tease the water, and the girl went home and found some small rocks that she was a toy.
Soon the girl brought a few small stones over. There were blue, green and purple, all of which were very beautiful. She is a girl, big and unsightly, and she basically doesn’t want it, just keep what she likes.
Lin Lan made a mental contribution to herself. Isn’t the collector of antiques just picking up the omissions, because the sellers don’t know how to buy them at low prices. She is not bullying the child, and she is not buying it to make money now, she is still losing money, so she is not guilty.
Just when she hesitated, the girl thought she didn’t want to change, and was very anxious, “Sister, sister, you have to say something.”
Lin Lan gave her a few wowotou and took a few small stones.
The girl happily put a wowotou into her mouth immediately, “Sister, my name is Yu Kucai, I’ll be back in a while.” She hugged a few wowotou and quickly sent home.
One of the boys in Xiahe touched a piece and held it to her happily, “Look, I also found a wowotou!”
Lin Lan: “Come on, I’ll give you a good deal.”
Several children thought that she was the kind of fairy who went down to rescue the poor boy as the adults told stories, otherwise, where would anyone use Wowotou for stones? Not stupid.
Secretary Wang felt that Lin Lan was just a stupid. He was afraid that he might be ill. How could he really use Wowotou for stones? You coax the child, just go there?
He and Chen Gongan, who was in charge of protecting Lin Lan, complained: “Officer Lin is still… really interesting. It’s a lie.”
Chen Gongan said with a serious face: “We Lin Officer is so smart, how can we deceive? She is kind.”
The idiot couldn’t tell that she was a few poor children, she was clearly helping them. And Officer Lin is smart enough to know that he can’t give it casually. If you give something to someone for free, in the end they will only think that you have given less, and will not be grateful. Let them use their labor to exchange for unexpected things, but they feel that they have picked up a great deal and are very grateful.
If they were exchanged for ordinary stones, it would be the same as the white ones. They could be exchanged for this kind of relatively few blue stones. They had the joy of having stones, and they couldn’t blame Lin Lan for not giving them to Wowotou. They could only regret that they didn’t have stones.
So, where is Officer Lin stupid? Obviously kind and smart.
Chen Gongan also kept telling Officer Wang about Lin Lan’s various propaganda activities in Shanshui Commune, and said seriously: “We are Lin Guan, kind and smart. We do practical things for the members, and the elderly and children love her.”
Secretary Wang smiled and didn’t say anything. Fortunately, he didn’t directly say Lin Lan was stupid, otherwise he would have to be beaten.
A few children were afraid that others would know, so they went home and told their family members quietly that they knew that there was a blue flint that had a good relationship, so they would let them change Wowotou so that they would not be replaced first.
At this time, Han Qingsong also led people to conduct door-to-door inspections in the village. Hearing the village elders muttering that a fool was replacing a stone with a wowotou, his already serious expression became more and more cold, and the members were so scared that they hurriedly entertained the couple when they saw him. What the **** is doing.
Like Yu Kucai, the children felt that Lin Lan’s use of Wowotou for stones was a fairy and saved them, but the adults were naturally like Wang Guan, the first reaction was that this woman was a fool. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Lin Lan collected more than a dozen large and small blue stones and green stones, and they scattered all over the pockets, and there were still people who were not very lost.
Lin Lan couldn’t bear to be disappointed. “Wowotou is gone, it can be five cents to one dime.” Some people exchanged it back, and some people didn’t want the money to ask for food stamps. Anyway, as long as someone really took it, Lin Lan would change it.
Someone fooled her with a stone picked up by the roadside, thinking that she wanted a stone anyway. As a result, Lin Lan refused. Whoever wants the stones on the side of the road, she is not fed up.
Someone murmured: “Isn’t she a fool? How can she tell?”
Some people murmured: “Isn’t she saying that she wants to send everyone to eat Wowotou if she does good deeds? What kind of stone is not a stone? Why are you so picky!”
There were also people who exchanged other tatters of their own for food or food coupons from Lin Lan. Lin Lan said that he did not want to collect antiques, and even if they had them, they would give them to the museum. Moreover, this village is so poor, even if it has some good things, it would have been replaced a few years ago when people starved to death, and now it is impossible to produce good things.
So she only needs stones and nothing else. Of course, Lin Lan wasn’t just to exchange stones. She took the opportunity to get closer to the villagers and found a breakthrough to chat with the villagers.
Han Qingsong and the others are investigating as public security cadres. The members are wary and afraid of them, and it is not so easy to open their hearts.
But when she changed the stone like this, Yu Kucai and a few children immediately became acquainted with her, and she was embarrassed by calling her one by one with her sister.
She repeatedly stated that they should call her aunt or aunt, but they didn’t listen and insisted on calling her sister.
She avoided the adults and took a few children on the embankment while chatting while playing in the water, telling them stories and composing their words at the same time.
Yu Kucai likes her very much. Yu Kucai is 10 years old this year, malnourished and looks like a seven or eight year old child.
“Bitter vegetables, the food in your village was stolen.”
Yu Kucai pouted, indifferent, “It’s good to steal.”
Lin Lan was taken aback, “How did you steal it?”
Yu Kucai saw that there were no adults, and whispered: “Sister, I will tell you, don’t tell others.”
Lin Lan nodded: “Don’t tell.”
Yu Kucai: “Anyway, I won’t give it to us. I was taken away. If you stole it, you didn’t steal us. Isn’t it worth it if you stole it?”
Lin Lan looked at her, the girl’s eyes were black and white, but she showed hatred unabashedly. Speaking of village cadres, commune cadres, etc., she was full of contempt and anger, “They will take care of us for things, and the crops we have worked so hard to grow, until the last one is not kept for us, and all are taken away. Sister, you Say, is it bad?”
Lin Lan nodded: “Then what do you eat?”
Yu Kucai bit her lip, “Every few days, the brigade divides two catties of grain into each household, and we even boil the chaff and the vegetables and drink a small bowl. Anyway, it’s okay to be hungry. My parents are not too hungry. I can’t get down to the ground even with my strength.”
This is food rebate.
Lin Lan saw that she was about the same age as San Wang, but she didn’t even have Xiao Wang Gao, so she couldn’t help feeling sour.
She took a handkerchief dipped in water and wiped her dirty face on the bitter vegetables. She would be dangling by the river tomorrow. Why would her face still be so dirty? Maybe they didn’t talk about hygiene at all. Maybe it’s because I can’t eat enough to eat, and I don’t even want to wash my face.
She knows that her children don’t understand the policy, but Yu Kucai can let her know the most direct thing-to this day, the members of her village still can’t afford to eat, and they are still implementing the old system ten years ago. Their village actually did not divide the rations, but handed in all the food, and then bought the rebate to eat!
She must find out what’s going on in this village, so that the members of the village can also share rations, and can no longer just eat rebate.
Lin Lan: “I am in charge of propaganda by Shanshui Commune. I specialize in propagating cultural knowledge and policies. After I understand it, I will follow the feedback from the leaders above and improve it for you.”
Yu Kucai happily grabbed Lin Lan’s hand, and realized that he was dirty and quickly let go, pursing her mouth embarrassedly.
Lin Lan smiled, “It’s okay. I can help you report, but you have to tell me the truth, otherwise if I make a false report, the leader will remove me from my position and I have to be arrested.”
Yu Kucai shook his head in anxious state, “I didn’t lie, what I said is true. You see, I can’t carry the **** when I am hungry.”
Lin Lan looked around, no adults, “Then I see some men dangling under the tree and not working?”
Yu Kucai whispered: “Those are arranged by the brigade cadres to stare at us. We are not allowed to go out casually, and we are not allowed to leave the village for fear that we will beg for food.”
Lin Lan: “!”
At this time, a man in shabby clothes strode down the embankment on the bank and walked towards them, “What are you doing?”
Yu Kucai immediately said: “My sister is using Wowotou for stones.”
The man stared at Lin Lan fiercely.
Lin Lan got up immediately, ready to run at any time, “You want to change it now it’s gone, you can get five cents.”
The man suddenly got angry and cursed: “We can’t afford to eat, so you still use the money to buy stones from Wowotou. All you eat are our food!”
Lin Lan immediately ran ashore and greeted Chen Gongan, who was talking to Officer Wang not far away, “Here is a madman, get him arrested!”
Yu Kucai was also yelling to the man: “My sister is a good person. Give us a good meal.”
Chen Gongan ran over immediately, “Who?”
Yu Kucai waved his hands hurriedly, “Sister, it’s okay, this is my father, not a bad person.”
Lin Lan is protected by Chen Gongan, she is not afraid, and said to the man: “What do you mean by me to eat your food? I belong to the Shanshui Commune. We grow our own food and can’t eat your sorghum rice!”
Sorghum rice is a coarse grain, and she is afraid that wheat will stimulate the man even more.
The man calmed down, but his eyes were still bad, and he was full of hatred for them, “the cadre doesn’t have a good thing.”
Lin Lan attacked him, “That’s because you are not a cadre.”
Sure enough, the man was so angry that she wanted to come up with theory.
Lin Lan winked at Chen Gongan and asked him to arrest him.
Chen Gongan shouted: “I think you want to steal food thief, come with me to the brigade.”
The man was about to run immediately, but was blocked by Chen Gongan and twisted his arms.
The man didn’t have much strength, and he was detained without two rounds, and he was cuffed directly behind him.
Yu Kucai was anxious, “Sister, don’t catch my father, he didn’t steal food.”
Lin Lan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m afraid he will hit someone and take him back for questioning. It’s okay.” She stretched out her hand towards Yu Kucai, “Go, you can rest assured.”
Yu Kucai hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t feel embarrassed to pull Lin Lan’s hand, her sister’s hand was slender and white and tender, so black and rough as her own.
Lin Lan took people to find Han Qingsong. They had already surveyed the warehouse and also went to the village to investigate, but there was no obvious gain.
Those villagers’ houses are in dilapidated houses, and they can’t hide things at first sight. In addition, even if the yard is slapped big, you can see if you have a closer look at the new soil.
Han Qingsong watched her come back and let the others continue. He walked up to Lin Lan and looked at the man and Yu Kucai.
Lin Lan took him aside and told him all the news she had inquired about.
Han Qingsong glanced at Yu Ku Cai, and was so scared that Yu Ku Cai immediately hid behind Lin Lan.
Lin Lan: “Third brother, don’t scare your children.”
Han Qingsong: “…”
Lin Lan whispered: “Brother, no matter who stole the grain, look at these members, all of them are dry and thin. It’s not normal to look at them.”
When she first entered the village, she thought it was a well-known lazy village, where the men did not work and waited for the government to provide food. But by changing the stones in Wowotou, she found that there were very few children in this village, almost as few as bitter vegetables. In addition, she didn’t see anyone younger than one or two years old and couldn’t hear the cry of the children.
She asked too much about bitter vegetables. There were no children in the village for several years, and several of them had not been able to feed.
Moreover, the members of this village are all dry and thin, and at first glance they are the kind of chronic malnutrition. Not to mention working, they will pant even if they walk a little bit.
So she revised her understanding. There are indeed people who are lazy, dragging their feet and taking advantage of collective labor, but it is impossible for the whole village to do this. She suspects that the team secretary and the team leader are conspiring to oppress the members.
Therefore, she hoped that even if the villagers stole food, he would be able to temporarily open the door and not arrest them directly. Once arrested, it will be a felony, and death is also a life reform through labor, which is unfair to these members.
Han Qingsong naturally has a judgment. He felt it in Dawangzhuang, and it felt even more obvious when he came to Yujiacun. The commune was renovated so that the bricks and tiles were complete and it was more decent than the Shanshui Commune, but the members of the brigade below lived in shabby thatched houses. When they went down to investigate, the members were alert and panicked, and they could see what was going on at a glance.
“There is a problem.” Naturally, he thought more profoundly.
Lin Lan looked at him, “What?”
“If you make a ghost in the Anti-Japanese War, he will definitely resist us entering the village.” If Yu Anti-Japanese really sent people to stare at the members and were not allowed to leave the village, then he was afraid that the working group would enter the village to investigate. Nor does it prevent them from entering the village for investigation.
Lin Lan: “He lost more than 20,000 catties of public rations and didn’t let the police come? What should he do? He can afford to pay at least? Let him be convicted of unfavorable affairs first.”
Lin Lan suspected that the members had stolen the grain in a partnership and hid it, so he only needed to find a breakthrough for the members and let them hand over the grain.
After solving this case, let’s solve the problem that the villagers have no food to eat.
Han Qingsong said that he understands it. He glanced at her, then looked at her schoolbag, “I found the stone?”
Lin Lan said proudly: “That’s it, Wowotou changed it.”
Seeing that she can be happy even at this time, Han Qingsong’s eyes showed a smile, “Let’s take a break.”
He asked Chen Gongan to take the man and Yu Kucai over.
Lin Lan walked over and knelt down and said to Bitter Vegetables: “Don’t be afraid, this is the deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau, who specializes in helping the people beat bad people. If you tell him something, he will help you.”
Yu Kucai nodded and followed Han Qingsong.
At about four o’clock in the afternoon, Han Qingsong was already impatient and wanted to take Lin Lan home.
He directly drove everyone out, sat in the house by himself, and then let people call in Yu Anti-Japanese.
Yu Anti-Japanese thought that Han Qingsong was going to ask questions with him, so he had to go to sit down next to Han Qingsong when he entered the house.
Han Qingsong glanced at him and pointed to the stool opposite.
Yu Anti-Japanese was stunned for a moment, “Korea Game?”
Han Qingsong’s face was cold: “Sit down.”
Yu Kang-Japanese sat down nervously and said with a smile: “Han Ju, why are you still asking me?”
Han Qingsong said coldly: “During the War of Resistance Against Japan, let’s be honest, you thief shouted to catch the thief, what are you going to do?”
