The Big Landlord

The weather in early summer makes it easy to feel sleepy, so I took a full nap and used the corners of the quilt to cover Linglong's belly while she was still sleeping soundly. After checking whether there were any mosquitoes in the mosquito net, I lazily went out in my slippers and went for a leisurely walk. .

At the entrance of the village, a large group of villagers were sitting under the eaves of Wu Yulan's shop, chatting comfortably. Wang Ben also came over and chatted with them about household matters to enhance neighborly relations.

"The family planning people are here, hide now!"

I had only been sitting for a few minutes when I suddenly heard an urgent call. A young man in the team shouted loudly as he rushed towards the village. Today was market day. He was just about to go to the town when he happened to see the family planning team from a distance. The vehicle turned back and reported the news.

These words were like a reminder. The villagers who had been chatting happily just now panicked and scattered. Some were holding their children and preparing to hide in the Daqing Mountain behind the village; some hurried home to inform their little daughter-in-law who was in confinement; There is a pregnant woman who is pregnant with her third child with a big belly. She is also walking fast at this time.

Although family planning has been in place for so many years, there are still a lot of extra-children in Xiushui Bay in the past two years. In detail, not many families have escaped the fine. As soon as I heard that the family planning people are coming, who has the mind to continue chatting and hide first? The last word is a fine of thousands for opening the mouth.

"Oh, what should I do?" an aunt said in panic. She was holding two babies under one year old in her hands, her fifth daughter and her sixth son. She was accompanied by two more than one year old babies. A child over two years old was running around in a hurry and couldn't greet him at all.

It was quite a hard job for this grandma and grandma. Wang Ben couldn't help but laugh twice, raised his head and thought for two seconds, waved his hands and said calmly: "Don't worry, you can take your children and hide slowly, I will help you stop them." Will come first."

It was too late to go home and ride a motorcycle, so I simply jogged all the way, heading straight for the highway along the farm road.

On the sticky asphalt road, two cars were slowly driving towards Xiushui Bay. At the front was a small Alto, followed closely by a light truck with a closed compartment. This scene was familiar to everyone. It was exactly the plan. Fertility task force formation.

In the Alto, the driver was driving cautiously, without even honking the horn. He went to the countryside to carry out family planning, and the purpose was to make surprise attacks. He couldn't make too much noise. If the villagers found him hiding in advance, the trip would be in vain. .

Four members of the family planning team were huddled in the car. They all looked towards the direction of Xiushui Bay with sworn expressions. They had been here several times, but there were still many families who had not been fined for having children. They must sweep them up today. Come back with a full load. The empty truck behind you is the best proof.

Seeing that he was about to turn onto the mechanical farming road and arrive at his destination soon, Alto, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped. Not far in front of the car, a large hole blocked the way.

Several members of the family planning team reluctantly jumped out of the car and gestured left and right. Even Alto couldn't pass on this narrow tractor-taught road, let alone the truck behind.

Looking left and right, there was not even a small stone nearby, so there was no way to fill the hole. They became angry and began to complain endlessly.

"Who the hell did this immoral thing!"

"It must have been dug up by some family that gave birth to a child!"

"If you are stubborn, you must be severely punished!"

…

Just when there was nothing to do, a figure came quickly. It was Mr. Li Sanye who was in charge of road construction. He was digging soil and repairing the plowing road ahead. When he saw a car, he hurried over to avoid delaying the vehicle on its way.

By the way, we also collect tolls.

When he suddenly saw that it was a Planned Parenthood vehicle, he didn't dare to neglect it, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of collecting money. He ran straight to the grass where the raft was hidden, intending to let it go directly.

"Master Li, wait!"

Wang Ben, who was late, hurriedly stopped him, ran over quickly and whispered: "You go to rest under the tree for a while, I will handle this matter."

After sending Mr. Li away, Wang Ben looked at the people in the family planning team and chuckled to himself. Well, I'll just have some fun with them and give the villagers some more time.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he walked forward slowly, smiled at those people, and said loudly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little late, but don't be surprised, I said The same goes for you, why don't you press the horn or shout twice, you act like thieves."

"What's going on with this trap!" A fat member of the family planning team pointed at the ground and asked sharply.

Looking sideways at the man, Wang Ben smiled and ignored him. He opened his palms and said seriously: "Tolls are three yuan for a small car and five yuan for a large car. There is a 20% discount for a round trip. There is an additional charge for hauling goods. You can buy a monthly pass!"

"Hahaha!" Several people were delighted when they heard this. They laughed so much that they couldn't help joking to each other, "I didn't expect that there would be car thieves and road tyrants on this tractor-taught road."

"Is it that funny? It's normal to charge money for road construction," Wang Ben curled his lips and said matter-of-factly.

"Do you know who we are?" the fat family planning team member snorted, with disdain on his face.

"You guys?" Wang Ben looked at one and the other. After looking at them for a long time, he shook his head and said seriously, "I don't know them."

"We are from the family planning office. Let us go quickly. You can't afford to delay your work," the fat family planning team member folded his hands on his chest and said slightly proudly, taking himself seriously.

"Oh my, it turns out I'm an official," Wang Ben suddenly realized, and he spread his palms again and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming to support me in person. Two cars total 12.8 yuan, rounded up to 13 yuan, thank you."

A very tall family planning team member got angry on the spot and shouted loudly: "Don't toast me and I'll be fined if you don't eat. Quickly pave the way for me!"

Wang Ben shrank slightly and said pitifully: "I say, you officials should also be considerate of us poor farmers. It is not easy to build a road."

"You dare to charge money for such a short repair. Believe it or not, I will drag you to the police station and make you squat for two years!" A short family planning team member took two steps forward and threatened confidently.

"No!" Wang Ben exclaimed and began to explain, "You are wrong. The purpose of collecting money is to build longer roads and provide better convenience and service to everyone. There is a saying that goes well: To get rich, build roads first, you officials should support the development of our village, don’t you think so?”

"More than a dozen yuan is worthless," the member of the family planning team said angrily with a snort.

"You can't say that," Wang Ben waved his hands and said matter-of-factly, "If I don't accept your money, it will break the rules. How can I accept the money in the future? If I can't receive the money and can't repair the road, how can I talk about it?" As for getting rich, can you bear to see our village continue to be poor?"

"We won't give it to you!" the last thin member of the family planning team said with a serious look on his face.

"That's it... I don't have the right to make the decision. I have to discuss it with everyone." Wang Ben pretended to think for a while, then turned to Mr. Li San who was enjoying the cool air in the distance and said loudly, "Master Li, please go back to the village and ask. When asked, he said that people involved in family planning need to cross the road, but they don’t want to pay tolls and it depends on whether everyone agrees.”

"..." The four family planning team members brushed their faces on the floor.

If he really went back to the village and shouted, they would fine him a shitty amount of money.
