pinnacle of power

Hearing that Liu Qingyu said that he was going to sell grain with everyone, Guo Chengzhu was surprised and delighted at the time. He never expected that Liu Qingyu would make such a request. He was so excited that he pointed to the yard with his hand. A four-wheeled truck said: "Mayor Liu, have you seen it? There are 5 tons of wheat on this truck. This is part of the grain harvested by our family this summer. I just plan to sell it tomorrow. But, I will put it in advance. Let me tell you first, selling food is very troublesome, and you often encounter various problems, so it takes time. You may not be able to come back before dark tomorrow night. You are so busy, do you have time? "

Liu Qingyu nodded with a smile: "It's okay, tomorrow is Saturday, I have already arranged the relevant work, what time will it be sent out tomorrow morning? Let's come early."

Guo Chengzhu looked at the wall clock on the wall: "Mayor Liu, it is already ten o'clock in the evening, we will get up at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, and we have to set off at 4 o'clock, so I think you and this brother should not leave." Go back, just stay at my house, or it will be too much trouble to go back and forth."

Liu Qingyu nodded and was not polite, and stayed at Guo Chengzhu's house that night.

At about 3 o'clock the next morning, Liu Qingyu and Cheng Tieniu who lived in the guest room heard the sound of pots and pans in the main room. It was already around 3:[-], Guo Chengzhu came over and asked the two to have breakfast together.

Breakfast is relatively simple, hot steamed buns in noodle soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and pickles.After the three simply finished eating, they got into the truck together, and Guo Chengzhu drove out.Originally, if there were no Liu Qingyu and Cheng Tieniu, Guo Chengzhu's wife would have followed the car, but since Liu Qingyu and Cheng Tieniu joined, his wife didn't have to go.

When the car drove out of the gate, Liu Qingyu asked, "Old Guo, where are we going to sell food?"

Guo Chengzhu said: "Mayor Liu, although the grain depot in the town is empty now, we have nothing to do with it, so we can't sell the grain at the price guided by the state. We can only go to the grain depot in the county to try our luck."

Liu Qingyu couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. He had heard the same point of view more than once or twice. Cheng Tieniu had already told him once. Now, hearing Guo Chengzhu say this again, Liu Qingyu attached great importance to it and asked : "Old Guo, how can you be sure that the grain depot in the town is empty but you don't collect grain?"

Guo Chengzhu said with a wry smile: "Mayor Liu, to be honest, I have a relative who works in the grain depot in the town. He told me this news. The leaders divided it up in private, and then different leaders sold these quotas to those grain brokers, who bought the grain. Therefore, we ordinary people have no way to sell the grain at the state-subsidized price. To the grain depot. The whole town knows about this kind of thing.”

Liu Qingyu couldn't help frowning: "In this case, why don't you sue them?"

Guo Chengzhu couldn't help but smiled wryly again: "Sue them? You won't win. Most of the leaders of the grain depot are relatives and friends of the town leaders. If you go to the town to sue, the town will only push back. If you go to the county to sue, we will even face the county leaders They couldn't even see them, so they were taken back by the town leaders and the people from the police station. If anyone dared to go to the city to sue, the family members would be attacked and retaliated by some hooligans. Behind this were those grain brokers. People are making trouble, but who is behind the grain brokers? Isn’t it the town leaders?”

Speaking of this, Guo Chengzhu sighed and said: "Mayor Liu, with all due respect, in our Tianyu Town and even Qingyuan County, all officials protect each other. As for the life and death of ordinary people, as long as there are no major incidents, who cares!"

Hearing Guo Chengzhu's sigh, Liu Qingyu's heart seemed to be blocked by a boulder, and he felt a little bored.He has secretly clenched his fists, and he has secretly made up his mind that after this trip to sell grain with Guo Chengzhu is over, he must rectify the area of ​​the grain depot from top to bottom, and make sure that it is difficult for the common people to sell grain. This problem is alleviated.Otherwise, I would really have no face to face Jiang Dong's elders.

It was late autumn now, and it was around four o'clock in the morning, and the sky and the earth were still pitch black. Liu Qingyu and the others were driving fast on the country road in this truck.

Liu Qingyu was sitting in the co-pilot's seat. He took a look at Guo Chengzhu's driving speed. He had already driven the car to 67 mph on the country dirt road. This speed is obviously a bit fast. There will be an obvious shift, and Liu Qingyu's heart is almost in his throat.

After walking for a while, Liu Qingyu persuaded: "Old Guo, aren't you driving a bit too fast? It's so dark and the roads are so difficult. It's easy to get into trouble if you drive like this?"

Guo Chengzhu said with a wry smile: "Mayor Liu, I know what you said, and I know it's dangerous to do so, but I can't help it. You may not know that our town has already notified the villagers of each village, It is suggested that everyone should try not to sell the grain outside, saying that the grain produced locally should be digested locally as much as possible to promote the development of agriculture in the region. However, the grain depot does not accept our grain. If we sell the grain to those grain brokers If the price is too low, we have no choice but to sell the grain to the county or other places.

However, the town was unwilling to let us sell it, so the town sent people from the transportation management office to set up checks on the only road that enters and exits the town. If they found a grain truck, they would use various In this way, even if we transport the grain outside and sell it, if the fine money is included, it is actually no different from selling it locally.However, these people usually don’t go to work until around 5 o’clock in the morning, so we must rush across the road section with traffic jams as soon as possible before [-]:[-], so that we don’t have to be fined by the traffic control office. "

When Liu Qingyu heard this, his heart ached again.

Look at Guo Chengzhu, an ordinary farmer's representative in front of him. He got up so early in the middle of the night, drove so fast, and even put his life in danger. Why?In order not to be fined by the transportation management office?Why does the Transportation Management Office have to pay fines?It is because the common people want to sell their grain outside.

Is it a market economy now?What qualifications do you have in Tianyu Town to require farmers to sell their grain locally?Why does the transportation management office have to impose a fine?

Liu Qingyu understands the reason for this without even thinking about it, everything is for profit!All because of selfish desires!

Why did Tianyu Town become like this?You know, in the area where Liu Qingyu used to work, such things rarely happen.Why did this happen in Lanshan City?

Liu Qingyu felt his heart start to bleed.

Liu Qingyu never tried to persuade Guo Chengzhu to slow down again. He knew very well that in the heart of this ordinary farmer, he had already compromised with his fate. He was just an ordinary farmer. What can he do about the administrative order in the town that does not allow food delivery?He can do it, but he has to work harder, take more risks, get on the road earlier, and avoid being fined earlier.Because only in this way can they ensure that the food they harvested through hard work can be sold at a good price!

The car was still running fast on the potholed dirt road in the dark night, and the car nearly turned over several times, but fortunately, Guo Chengzhu had already practiced a solid posture technique, and he was always able to correct it at critical moments mysteriously and mysteriously. The direction of the car to ensure the safe driving of the car.

Along the way, even a bold person like Liu Qingyu was shocked into a cold sweat.But the more so, the more clearly he could feel the anxiety, anxiety and helplessness deep in Guo Chengzhu's heart at this moment.

After five or six minutes, the car finally left the rural dirt road and onto the highway, without the potholes. Guo Chengzhu's car accelerated again and sped away. Liu Qingyu looked at the speed of the car and found that it had soared It's eighty miles.

In the dark night, a car that carried Guo Chengzhu's family's hope for a whole year, just ran forward regardless of life and death.

Traffic safety?To hell!

life safety?To hell!

In order to avoid the fine, I tried my best!If he was fined, the harvest of one mu of land would be donated!Guo Chengzhu is really not reconciled!

The car was driving all the way, and after a turn, Guo Chengzhu finally let out a long breath, because he saw through the lights of the car that 300 meters ahead, the lights in the blue prefabricated house on the side of the road were dark. The people in the transportation management office should have not gotten up yet.

A look of relief appeared on Guo Chengzhu's face. He knew that his hard work of waking up early today and running all the way faster had finally paid off.He quickly stepped on the accelerator and accelerated again, wanting to rush over quickly, as long as he passed this checkpoint, he would no longer have to pay a fine.

When Guo Chengzhu was speeding up the car, he was already fantasizing about sending some money to his son who was going to college after he sold the grain in the county.His son is studying at a key university in Yanjing City. Although his son is very sensible and saves money, the consumption in Yanjing City is not low after all. Therefore, it is still very difficult for him, a farmer who can only grow grain, to support such a college student. .Every time I pay for my son's tuition, I have to sell food.When my son left last time, he only brought his tuition fee and one month's living expenses with him, which was made up after the family sold last year's food reserves.

This time, the food must be sold as soon as possible, preferably at a good price, so that the son will not have to worry about living expenses for a semester.For Guo Chengzhu, he and his wife usually live with their belts tight, because besides the eldest son who is going to college, there is also a younger son at home.They have to break a penny in half and spend it.

At this time, a huge searchlight suddenly turned on not far ahead, and then the siren sounded, and a rough voice came out through the loudspeaker: "The car in front stops immediately and is inspected!"
