Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 499 Arrival
By the time the group of four cars arrived at the gate of Rouhuai County Bureau, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. The journey of less than 60 kilometers took more than two hours.

After receiving the notice from the Rouhuai County Bureau, a deputy leader of the county government who was responsible for contacting the county public security bureau came here and waited at one o'clock.

A major case has occurred in the county, and the leaders will definitely inquire about it. Now that the deputy director in charge of the municipal bureau has come to the scene in person to guide the solving of the case, someone from the county must come, not to mention that the person who came is a deputy director at the bureau level, which is a level higher than the leader of Rouhuai County.

If the conference had not just ended and the county director and county leaders wanted to organize a study session on the spirit of the conference, they would both be present in person. Even so, the deputy leader they entrusted brought a message to Li Yancheng.

"Director Li, let me introduce you to Leader Cao, who is in charge of contacting our bureau in Rouhuai County."

"Leader Cao, this is Director Li from our Municipal Bureau."

Before Li Yancheng's car had stopped after entering the compound of Rouhuai County Bureau, Lin Wentao, who had entered earlier, had already gotten out of his car. After greeting the county government leader Cao, he ran over to help open the car door.

Seeing that Li Yancheng drove here by himself without even a driver, and was so young, Deputy Leader Cao raised his eyebrows in surprise, but that was all, and he did not show any further surprise.

After listening to Lin Wentao's introduction, Deputy Leader Cao took a small step forward with a smile, and waited for Li Yancheng to stretch out his right hand before he shook it with both hands.

"Director Li, welcome to our Rouhuai County to inspect and guide our work."

"Leader Cao, you are too polite. What guidance do you mean? I am here as an investigator. I am here only for the case."

Deputy Leader Cao's words were both polite and respectful.

The young man in front of him is not just the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If that were the case, he would not have to lower his posture so much.

Although their levels are much lower, they are from the local government, which is equivalent to the deputy positions of the provincial functional departments. The key is that the Public Security Bureau is also a very professional one among the functional departments, and there is not much communication with local personnel.

It is not easy for people inside to get out, and it is also difficult for officials working in local governments to get in, unless they reach a certain level.

Therefore, even if Li Yancheng is a bureau-level cadre, the county's responsible leader can come forward to receive him. At most, one or two of the county director and the county leader can invite him to dinner together if they have a good relationship.

Look, isn’t it coming!

Deputy Leader Cao didn't pay any attention to Li Yancheng's polite words. He held his hands with both hands and shook them up and down.

"Director Li, our Director Zhang and Leader Feng asked me to apologize to you. They are currently organizing the relevant cadres at the county government and the county government to study the spirit of the meeting. They are really too busy to come and greet you in person. I am very sorry.

The two leaders said that they will treat you to a simple meal at our county guesthouse this afternoon. Don’t worry, it’s just a working meal and it will definitely not exceed the limit.”

After letting go of his shaking hand, Li Yancheng hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, he nodded.

"Okay, I won't be polite then. Thank you Director Zhang and Leader Feng."

He is no longer working in the Social Affairs Bureau, but in the Public Security Bureau. Inevitably, he has to deal with local governments frequently. It's okay once or twice, but he can't always reject other people's kindness. Doing so will not make him appear noble, but will only make others think that he looks down on people and is difficult to deal with.

Sometimes, good and healthy interpersonal relationships are also a point that organizations focus on when evaluating a cadre.

But we also need to note here that these are healthy interpersonal relationships, not messy ones.

After all, once you take on a leadership position, when the organization examines your work performance and daily performance, it will not only look at how strong your professional ability is, but also whether you can coordinate relationships between people in the team.

If you yourself cannot establish good relationships with others, how can you expect other people in the team not to follow suit? If a team is full of such unkind people, the team will break up sooner or later.

Therefore, when the organization is examining whether a person is qualified to be a leader, it is also important to consider whether the person being examined can get along well with colleagues and subordinates.

It is normal for colleagues to have disagreements at work, so we should respect common ground and differences, make more friends and fewer enemies.

This requires a lot of interpersonal relationships.

"You're welcome, but you're in Rouhuai, which means you're in our territory. You're the guest, and we're the host. As the host, it's only natural for us to treat our guests to a meal."

"Haha, okay, I won't say any more. It would be disrespectful to say any more."

"Director Li, you are right. Well, I won't disturb you at work. Please focus on your work first. We can talk about small things when we have more free time."

The case was important. Deputy Leader Cao knew that Director Li came here for the case, not for the meal, and certainly not for coming all the way to chat with him, so he immediately changed the subject back to the main topic.

Li Yancheng smiled and nodded, his eyes set on Lin Wentao.

"Director Li, Leader Cao, please come this way. Let's go to the conference room and listen to a brief report first."

"I won't go to the meeting room." Li Yancheng waved his hand and said.

He came here to see the scene, not to sit in the office and listen to reports.

This is his usual style. When he visits the scene, he finds that many things are simply not intuitive if he only listens to reports.

He was like this when he was in the Social Affairs Bureau. Even if he was just asked to help with an interrogation, he would go to the scene in person to get a feel for it.

"Director Lin, whoever knows more about the situation at the scene, please tell me here. I plan to go to the scene to take a look after you."

"Bureau Li..."

Zhu Dongjun knew quite a lot about Li Yancheng. After getting off the car just now, he immediately went to ask the deputy director on duty, Rouhuai, who was currently present and knew the case best. Now, hearing his leader say that he wanted to hear the report here, he quickly signaled the deputy director on duty to come with him.

"This is Tang Yongliang, the deputy director on duty at the Rouhuai County Bureau today. He is probably the one who knows the most about the case among those present.

Director Tang, please report what you know to Director Li."

Tang Yongliang glanced at Lin Wentao, and when he saw the director nodded, he saluted Li Yancheng.

"Hello, Director Li!"

"Yes." Li Yancheng returned the greeting: "Director Tang, tell me what you know."

"Yes, Director Li, the situation is roughly like this..."

Through Tang Yongliang's narration, Li Yancheng finally understood the basic facts of the case.

The first person to discover the case was Uncle Zhao, a neighbor of the victim, the Yang family.

Under normal circumstances, the Yang couple get up early in the morning because no one in the countryside likes to sleep in. Now that we have entered the autumn harvest season, the production team's loudspeaker will sound early, urging the team members to gather and go to work.

The household contract responsibility system is still in the trial stage in some areas. Although some places have taken the lead in implementing the household contract responsibility system since the year before last, that is, in 1977 or 1988, this move has actually never received policy support.

It would take a few more days before a formal document would be issued to confirm the household contract responsibility system implemented under the leadership of the production team.

It was not until 1982 that it was finally implemented nationwide.

Therefore, in the village where the murder took place, villagers are still working in the production team to earn work points.

Neighbor Uncle Zhao discovered that something seemed to be wrong with the Yang family. Not only did he not see the Yang couple, but he also did not see the Yang children.

Normally, when he strolled at the entrance of the village early in the morning, he would meet the Yang family's two children out playing. But today, half an hour had passed since normal time and he still hadn't seen the two children. Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in Uncle Zhao's heart.

He walked around the village entrance again and saw that everyone had started to go to work and the children who were supposed to go to school were going to school together, but he still didn't see any of the four members of the Yang family. He asked a few people but no one had seen them, so he walked towards his home.

Uncle Zhao is an elderly widower. He is over 70 years old this year. He has never had any children in his life. His wife died early, and he is the only one at home now. He and the Yang family live at the other end of the village. The two families say they are neighbors, but in fact there is a yard between them.

The yard was previously occupied by educated youth who had gone to the countryside. Now that they have all returned to the city, the yard is empty. A small village path separates his family and the Yang family from this side of the village. Because it is at the innermost part of the village, no one usually goes there, which makes the place where they live seem a lot quieter.

On weekdays, his neighbors Yang Daguang and his wife took good care of him, and the two children of the Yang family were also very close to him, so he felt so strange when he found that there was no movement from the Yang family this morning.

Passing by his own home and then walking past the vacant youth training center, Uncle Zhao stood at the gate of the Yang family's home. Looking at the half-open wooden door of the Yang family, the strange feeling in Uncle Zhao's heart became even stronger.

The Yang family's house was further inside than the Zhao family's, and it was not the only way for him to get to the village entrance, so he didn't know when the Yang family's door was opened.

Uncle Zhao didn't push the door, but stood outside and shouted loudly.

There was no movement in the yard, so quiet that Old Zhao frowned.

"Da Guang, are you home? I'm coming in."

Uncle Zhao shouted twice again, but there was still no response from the yard.

Nothing really happened, did it?
Thinking of Daguang's wife's ex-husband who often came to cause trouble, Lao Zhao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Both Yang Daguang and his current wife are remarried.

Daguan’s first wife died of illness shortly after giving birth to their son. He lived alone with the child as both a father and a mother for two years. Later, he met his current wife through an introduction.

The second wife was named Guo Meihua. Her parents’ home was in another commune, and she married into the village next to the one where Yang Daguang lived. The two villages belonged to the same commune.

After Guo Meihua got married, she had not been able to get pregnant for two years. Her in-laws kept saying that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but the key point is that the man she married was not a good guy either. Not only did he not work hard to earn work points all day, he just loved drinking and gambling, and he would beat and scold her.

Guo Meihua couldn't bear the beating anymore and said she would never live with that guy again. She put a knife to her neck and finally got a divorce.

These days, divorced women are really unfriendly. Her parents' home thinks it is shameful and won't let her go back. Divorced women have no home.

Yang Daguang's cousin lives in the village where Guo Meihua got married.

My cousin understood Guo Meihua's situation. She knew that she chose to divorce because she had not given birth to a child and could no longer bear the beatings. She is essentially a down-to-earth woman who can live a good life.

My cousin's wife had just died, and he was raising a child who was less than three years old by himself. He was a down-to-earth and hardworking man, but without a woman in the family, the father and son lived a miserable life.

After some discussion, the cousin introduced the homeless Guo Meihua to her cousin.

Yang Daguang was so happy that he didn't care whether Guo Meihua could give birth or not. As long as she could live a good life with him, it was enough.

Guo Meihua also knew her own situation and had no choice. What's more, the Yang family's conditions were not bad. Although the man had a son, the child was less than three years old. As long as she treated the child well, he would be no different from her own when he grew up.

She also felt that she was infertile.

So, the man was in love and the woman was willing, and Yang Daguang and Guo Meihua got together.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after their marriage, Guo Meihua became pregnant. Now it was clear who had health problems between her and her ex-husband.

Her ex-mother-in-law had been very angry with her for not getting pregnant, and her ex-husband had used this excuse to take action.

This pregnancy can be considered as a vindication for her.

The one with the health problem is her ex-husband, it has nothing to do with her.

When she became pregnant, her ex-husband's family was often laughed at, and a marriage that had just been arranged fell through.

Since then, Guo Meihua's ex-husband would come to cause trouble every now and then, and Yang Daguang had fought with him several times.

The ex-husband also said many times that he would make Yang Daguang suffer.

It is precisely because of the previous experience that Lao Zhao feels a little worried.

As he was thinking, Uncle Zhao raised his hand, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Daguang, Daguang's wife, Daguai, Erya..."

As he walked forward, Lao Zhao shouted a few more times, but still no one responded. The yard was so quiet that it was a little scary.

After entering the yard, Lao Zhao went straight to the door of the house, which was still half-open.

As soon as he reached the door, before he could speak again, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

When Lao Zhao was young, he was a pig butcher in the village. Every year at the end of the year, several nearby villages would ask him to help slaughter pigs. Having been a butcher for decades, he is particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.

The strong smell of blood told him that something had happened to the Yang family, something big.

He didn't dare push the door, but turned around and ran out.

He didn't know how to protect the scene. He only knew that if someone really died, he had to tell the village chief and also notify the police of the commune.

Now he smelled a strong smell of blood at the door of the Yang family's house. Although he was not 100% sure that something had happened to the four members of the Yang family, Lao Zhao knew that he could not go in alone and had to find the village chief together. Otherwise, if others said that he had killed the Yang family members, he would really have a hard time defending himself.

After all, his family lived closest to the Yang family, and he was the first to discover that something had happened to the Yang family.

I hurried all the way to the production brigade office at the entrance of the village. The team leader, the village chief, the accountant and other village cadres all worked here.

The name "village" is actually a legacy. From the time of liberation until the eighth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the grassroots rural organizations in China were called administrative villages. Village cadres such as the village head and deputy village head were all appointed by the township. The village was an administrative organization under the leadership of the township, mainly managing the village's administrative affairs and various matters assigned by the higher-level government.

Since the ninth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the administrative village organization has been replaced by production brigades. Some villages are relatively large, so one village is divided into two or even several production teams, while some villages are relatively small with a small population, so they are merged with other villages to form one production team.

Just in February of this year, the first village in the country to be governed by villagers was established in a village under the jurisdiction of a city in Guangxi Province in the far south.

In fact, this is also an inevitable development.

After the land was gradually distributed to households across the country, the rights of the production teams were essentially hollowed out.

The production team was sidelined and the villagers no longer listened to the team leader. This had a direct consequence: public security began to deteriorate and problems began to increase. It might not matter for one or two days, but after a long time, no one could stand it.

Therefore, the leader of the production team convened the village organization members and some villagers’ representatives to discuss the matter. They could not allow the village to continue in chaos.

The solution finally agreed upon was to establish a new management organization and village leaders. During the commune and production team period, everyone was called members and team members. Now that the production team is in name only, it is better to restore the original village and everyone continues to be called villagers, and the new management organization is called the Villagers' Committee.

As for how to select village leaders, each household in the village will send a representative, and everyone will vote together to elect new village leaders to manage the normal operation of the village.

Village representatives get together to work out a set of village rules and regulations within the current legal framework, which everyone must strictly abide by.

This village in Guangxi Province opened the historical prelude of "farmers directly exercising their democratic rights, handling their own affairs in accordance with regulations, and creating their own happy lives."

A new organization adapted to the family-run production model was born in a remote mountain village.

When the higher-ups found out about it, they reported it up the chain of command. Eventually, the congress and the civil affairs department sent working groups to conduct on-site inspections and fully affirmed the heroic efforts of the local farmers.

In 1982, the villagers' committee was written into the Basic Law as the grassroots mass autonomous organization in my country's rural areas, formally confirming the legal status of the villagers' committee.

Of course, the household contract responsibility system has not yet been implemented in Rouhuai, and power is still concentrated in the production team.

Old Zhao hurried to the gate of the yard where the production team leader was at the entrance of the village, took a deep breath, and walked in.

"Captain, captain..."

"Who is it? Oh, it's Uncle Zhao. Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you running so hard?"

"Captain, hurry up, something happened."

"What happened? What happened?"
