My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 76 Comrade Li Feng who suddenly had access to commercial grain
"Comrade Li Feng's family is in a very difficult situation."

Wu Desheng sighed and thought to himself that this boy was not honest. Of course, as the deputy director of the Tongcheng County Revolutionary Committee, he had to say what he should say.

"Yes, it's because we didn't do our job well enough."

Gao Tianmin echoed, and Wu Feng nodded. "Several leaders are here, and I want to make it clear that we must do a good job with Comrade Li Feng. This can't go on."

"Yes."

The propaganda ministers from the region didn't seem to notice anything and followed suit. Now it all depends on Deng Jun. Although these people made statements and promises, none of them mentioned any actual benefits.

They are all waiting for Deng Jun to give the order, as he is a leader from the provincial government.

Deng Jun was truly moved by Comrade Li Feng, and even spoke with some emotion. "Comrade Li Feng is so humble and modest. He is truly a role model for us intellectuals."

"If we don't care about and pay attention to comrades like this, we'd be remiss in our duties." Deng Jun's next words startled everyone. "I suggest applying for a special creative subsidy for Comrade Li Feng, with the province taking the lead and providing him with ten yuan per month."

Subsidies, and monthly subsidies, are a bit scary. The leaders who just spoke looked at Deng Jun, wondering if he was serious. "Let me make this clear to the region: as long as the provincial application is approved, the regional propaganda department will contribute five yuan a month."

Wu Desheng from the county and Gao Tianmin and Wu Feng from the commune are in a dilemma. These two leaders are not just asking for rewards, they are also asking for long-term subsidies.

"Minister Cheng, please express your opinion." Wu Desheng looked at the county propaganda minister Cheng Jinnan. Cheng Jinnan sighed helplessly. He also came from the grassroots level. He could not see through Li Feng's little tricks, but now the leaders above have expressed their opinions.

What else could he say? Following the leadership was the right thing to do. "Then, on behalf of the Propaganda Department, I'll make a statement and contribute three yuan a month." With that, all the pressure fell on the commune. Secretary Gao and Deputy Secretary Wu Feng exchanged a glance.

These leaders either didn't see it, or they had other plans. Regardless, they had to express their stance on this matter; they couldn't involve money. "Director Wu, please express your stance on behalf of the commune," Gao Tianmin pushed directly to Wu Feng, who thought, "Okay."

"On behalf of the commune, I would like to state that Comrade Li Feng can contact me or the commune at any time if he needs anything in his daily life."

"Oh, how can I trouble Secretary Wu?"

Li Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard Wu Feng's words. This guy hadn't said anything. "Actually, we don't have any problems at home. Aside from the missing iron pot and the water tank needing to be replaced, we also want to build a few beds. The kids are getting older and can't sleep on the floor anymore. It's just that the wood..."

"Ugh."

Li Feng wanted to continue speaking, but Han Fuguo glared at the boy.

"Secretary Wu, please take note of this."

What else could Gao Tianmin say? This guy couldn't say anything in front of so many leaders. Wu Feng smiled and called Han Anjun in. He also told Han Anjun to be in charge of Comrade Li Feng from now on and to make arrangements as soon as possible.

Han Fuguo glared at Li Feng fiercely. This kid, now he has been dragged into this by An Jun.

"Don't go too far, kid."

Han Fuguo took advantage of no one's attention to pull Li Feng over. "You think everyone here is a fool, you are fooling around."

"Uncle Fuguo, I don't understand what you are saying." Li Feng absolutely refused to admit it. I was just telling the truth.

"Pretend to be a fart."

Han Fuguo wanted to kick Li Feng away. "You think your rosy and tender face is fake? If you are pretending, at least pretend to be real. At least get some waxing." "Your face looks even rosier than the old cadres in the sanatorium. Do you think Secretary Gao and the others are fools?"

Well, Li Feng thought to himself, damn, none of these officials are good people, they are all laughing at me. "What should I do? This drama has come to this point, I can't just end it hastily."

"Let's do this for now."

He can't even act. Han Guofu has been doing this kind of crying poor thing all his life, and he's much better at it than Li Feng. "Secretary Wu and the others won't say anything. I think that young cadre from the province is easier to fool."

"Let's finalize the subsidy first."

Han Fuguo was actually quite surprised. The subsidy for this month was only about twenty yuan, which was not much for a university scholarship. The members who were watching the fun outside heard several leaders discussing applying for a creative writing subsidy for Li Feng.

"The province gives Li Feng ten yuan a month?"

My goodness, this is a huge uproar. You know, they get up early and work late every day, and they work so hard that they only earn about ten yuan a month. This money is used to buy food. Many families with many children do not even earn enough for food, and they may even owe money after a year.

Li Feng wrote some articles and received a subsidy of ten yuan a month, which would amount to one hundred and twenty yuan a year.

"That's nothing. We still have subsidies from the district and county."

"Oh my god, that adds up to nearly twenty dollars a month."

"The commune secretary said they would also provide subsidies, non-staple food coupons, grain coupons, etc. When converted, it's no less than what the district or county provides."

"What a bad luck!"

Wu Gou was cursing, but when he thought about the fact that Li Feng was now a famous writer and had been featured in a major magazine in the capital, he thought that he might be punished by God for cursing him behind his back. He cursed Li Feng without even meeting Han Wangshi, and a ghost came to his door and knocked on the window in the middle of the night.

Wu Gou glanced at the yard and saw that no one heard it. It doesn’t count, it doesn’t count. Oh my God, what I just said doesn’t count.

"God is blind."

Han Wangshi almost vomited blood. How could this damned filthy bastard have such a great fortune?

"Sister-in-law, please stop scolding me."

"Li Feng is now using public funds and making it public."

Many people are envious and jealous, but they dare not curse like before. Li Feng has become a public servant, that is, a cadre, and cadres cannot be cursed, otherwise they will make things difficult for you and discipline you like a chicken.

Han Wangshi was really a little scared, especially when she thought about how she had scolded Li Feng a few times last time and attracted a ghost in the middle of the night. "I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first." Han Wangshi turned around and ran away in a panic. Don't say that the old lady ran quite fast. "You are really capable."

An Xin was full of admiration. "Eighteen yuan a month, plus food coupons and non-staple food coupons for subsidies. It's no different from living in the city."

"Yeah, they're really no different from the people in this city."

He had wages, food coupons, and food coupons. Besides the household registration, he might be able to move to the city and get a city household registration in a few days. For a time, Li Feng was a big star in Hanjiaba.

"Uncle Feng isn't really going into the city, is he?"

Han Mingliang was a little panicked. If they went into the city, how could they make money? How could they get candy, especially milk candy? The kids were panicking. "We won't let Uncle Feng into the city."

"What are you yelling about?"

Shi Chunhua looked back and saw that it was her grandson who was leading the group. More than a dozen little kids were yelling and clamoring to stop Li Feng from entering the city.

"What's wrong?"

The cadres in the room heard the noise. Han Fuguo and Han Futian's faces changed suddenly. They wondered what was going on outside.

"Leader, are those children shouting that Comrade Li Feng is not allowed to enter the city?"

"Oh?"

Deng Jun and the others were curious about why. Han Fuguo saw that he could no longer deceive them. "Leader, these kids are messing around."

"Go and ask what's going on?"

Wu Desheng is the leader of the Public Security Bureau. This is strange. What happened to the kid? Han Mingliang and others were brought into the house in a short while. Han Mingliang, who was shouting just now, now had trembling calves.

"Don't be afraid. What's the matter? Comrade Li Feng coming to the city is a good thing."

"We...we can't bear to leave."

Han Mingliang didn't dare to look at his grandfather. He hung his head and spoke in a low voice.

"The maple tree is very good to us."

Wow, this guy is good. He has settled in Hanjiabao for not many days, but he has a good relationship with people. He even doesn't want to leave his children. Han Mingliang's words attracted Han Anton and others who were joining in the fun outside the yard. When this guy thought about Li Feng going to the city, he wondered where he could find such a high-paying job in the future.

Everyone couldn't help but join in the shouting, a gesture that truly surprised even provincial leader Deng Jun. "Great, great, great! Comrade Li Feng has such a noble character, and he's influenced so many people in such a short time."

"I will report this to my superiors when I get back and apply for the subsidy as soon as possible."

My goodness, Li Feng was a little confused. How could he be so popular? Could it be that he was really a noble person and everyone was deeply influenced by him? Not to mention him, Gao Ju and Gao Cheng were also a little confused. They didn't usually see everyone being so enthusiastic about Li Feng.

Han Fuguo and Han Futian were a little confused at first, but they figured it out after a while. This bastard was usually extravagant and would buy candies for the kids when he had nothing to do. Not only did he receive a high salary from his employer, but he also ate meat every other day.

Who wouldn't want to have a person like this in the village? He's a big fool, especially now that there are subsidies from the provincial, regional and county governments. Li Feng might be even more generous in the future.

"Comrade Li Feng, I want to learn from you."

"What are you talking about, leader?"

Li Feng thought to himself, "I don't know what's going on. What are you trying to learn from me? You should just give me some benefits." After a round of praise, Li Feng finally changed the subject. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to quickly come up with some benefits.

Otherwise, they really had to steam the steamed buns. Li Feng didn't want to join them in eating corn cob buns, which were even more uncomfortable than eating bran. Li Feng wasn't happy about remembering the bitter past and thinking about the sweet future. Fortunately, Deng Jun raised his hand and checked the time after being reminded by Li Feng.

"Comrade Li Feng, it's a shame we met so late. It's getting late today, so I'd like to have a good chat with you..."

As soon as Deng Jun stood up, the others followed suit. Li Feng tried to persuade them to stay. "Leader, you must stay for a quick meal before you leave."

"No."

"The county has made arrangements."

Well, the county has made arrangements, why don’t they call me? Li Feng was a little speechless. These leaders didn’t even think about themselves when they were enjoying themselves. No matter how they looked at it, they were the protagonist of this matter.

Deng Jun asked someone to bring over the provincial condolence money, rewards, and a brand new Great Unity.

Ten dollars, Li Feng was a little disgusted, it was too little, but he didn't know that ten dollars was not too little at all, you know, the reward for an atomic bomb explosion was only five dollars.

"Thank you for the concern of the province and thank you for the care of the leaders."

Ten yuan is ten yuan, it's better than nothing. The district and county are more generous and gave some food coupons. The general meaning is that the district and county will invite Li Feng to give reports and attend meetings, and these are advance payment of food coupons.

Well, Secretary Gao and Secretary Wu of the commune made promises to Li Feng and approved the documents. Li Feng got a lot of benefits and was quite satisfied.

"Li Feng."

Wu Desheng, deputy director of the county revolutionary committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, shook Li Feng's hand and whispered a thank you. "Thanks to you for taking care of Shengnan recently. I want to thank you on behalf of her mother."

"Are you Comrade Wu Shengnan's?"

"I'm her dad."

Wu Desheng glanced at Li Feng with a half-smile. Li Feng chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed. He had eaten a lot of other people's meat recently. Besides, Wu Shengnan must have already told his family about his situation.
