Chapter 543: The Little Tricks of Rural People
Shengli looked at his nephew, took the cigarette but didn't light it, instead he put it behind his ear and started the car.
His nephew was obviously quite satisfied with this boy from another place. If it was a twenty-year-old boy from another village, Shengli wouldn't even blink, if anyone interrupted this matter, he would just slap him in the face.
But his nephew was different, although he was not very old, but he could at least take care of half of the family affairs, so even if he was not satisfied with his niece finding a boy from another place, the family felt much more relieved with his nephew checking.
Along the way, they chatted casually, and after getting off the official road, the car quickly entered the village. Seeing several more two-story buildings in the village, and several large trucks that had never been seen parked on the side of the road, Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking: "How many families in the village bought cars?"
"Five families, they are jealous of the money they make." Shengli said a little unhappily.
When he bought the car, his nephew said that if anyone wanted to buy a car, he would help advance the money and pay it back when he had money. But in the end, many people followed him to learn to drive for free, and when it came to buying a car, no one said a word.
Now, seeing that driving a truck to deliver goods can make money, they have come together again, and some of them are shameless and ran to the Yang family to borrow money. It seems that the Yang family has the ability to charge forward and step on landmines for you. When they see that there is money to be made, they rush up in a swarm, and when there is no money to be made, they stand aside and watch the fun.
"Sports cars are not safe on the road. It's safer to drive together if you are from the same village. Anyway, there are plenty of jobs now as long as you have a car." Seeing his uncle's look, Yang Dongxu naturally understood the reason.
Because the money that the villagers borrowed to buy cars was nominally lent by Yang's father and mother, but in fact it was all given by Yang Dongxu. Otherwise, the Yang family, who had only raised pigs for two years, really couldn't come up with so much money.
"That's right." Shengli nodded.
Because the money was all from the Yang family, Yang's father only occasionally helped with the sports car, and most of the time he had to stay at home to look after the pig farm. So Shengli became the absolute leader of the team, smoking good cigarettes and drinking good wine every day without spending any money.
But Shengli was not a stingy person, mainly because he felt that other families were poor and always took advantage of others and lost face. So he was the one who paid the bill for dinner and meat, which made his prestige in the village grow a lot, and no one regarded him as a second-rate person anymore.
After getting off the car and moving the luggage, Yang's mother grabbed her daughter's hand with tears in her eyes. When she heard that her daughter was in love, and it was a Sichuanese who didn't know where. Yang's mother was scared and almost cried, and she wanted to go to Yanjing to bring her daughter back.
So when she saw Liu Lihong working hard to move the luggage into the house, Yang's mother didn't say anything, but she didn't look good. Although she always had to nag about her daughter's marriage at the end of the year in the past two years, she never thought of letting her daughter marry far away.
"Come, come, have some candy." Yang Dongxu opened a suitcase and took out two bags of candy from it, unpacked them and shared them with the children who came to watch the fun.
"Just give one or two, eating so many little bugs will eat all your teeth." The second uncle next to him glared at his grandson who was holding the candy tightly, but the first sentence was obviously said to Yang Dongxu.
"Second uncle, are you in good health? Hey, why are you here, grandpa? Come in and sit down." Yang Dongxu greeted the villagers skillfully.
After returning from outside, someone came to visit and talk at the door of the house, proving that the Yang family has prestige in Yangjia Village and has good character. After all, Yangjia Village is no longer the same as it used to be. There is no one but that mouthful of food, and even if it is at the market, there will be no shortage of snacks for children.
At this time, the villagers came to join in the fun, which is the reason why the Yang family has prestige in the village. If no one came to the door after returning, and the children did not come to eat candy, then this family is either a second-rate family that cats and dogs hate in the village, or a stingy person with bad character.
"Go, go, go and play somewhere else. You already have candy, why are you still joining in the fun here?" Some parents began to drive the children who followed them into the house out.
Although the Yang family was generous and did not suggest anything, the children were just annoyed by the crowd. Not only did they run around and play in the house, but they also ran around in each room.
"Come on, come on, don't be polite. Do you want some melon seeds?" Yang Dongxu finished smoking and took the melon seed plate next to him and made way for another person.
"Don't bother, Xuzi. If you want to eat, we can take it ourselves. Don't be polite." Someone said.
Everyone followed suit and said that if they wanted to eat, they would take it themselves.
The older generation sat down, and then several uncles and aunts also sat down, while a group of young people like Xiaowu had to stand. Dad Yang took the tea bottle to the kitchen to get hot water to make tea, and Grandpa followed Old Man Xuan who wanted to stroll around the village.
At this time, although the uncle Shengli was also sitting, he obviously could not decide what to talk about next, so he sat quietly next to his peers. Yang Dongxu made way for him several times, and finally he was pushed to the main seat.
However, a group of uncles, uncles, and second uncles were all there, and it was obviously uncomfortable for him to sit in the main seat, so he made way for the main seat and moved a bench to sit next to it.
After sitting down, he saw Liu Lihong standing at the door, neither standing nor sitting, so Yang Dongxu stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, come here, I will introduce you to the people in the village."
Although there was something to talk to Yang Dongxu at this time, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on Liu Lihong. Liu Lihong walked over nervously.
So starting with the oldest person, every time Liu Leehom was introduced, he handed over a cigarette very knowingly and helped to light it, and followed Yang Dongxu by calling him.
"Go to the kitchen and see if dad doesn't want to help." After the introduction, Liu Leehom was still a little nervous, so Yang Dongxu asked him to go to the kitchen and have a look.
"Xu Zi, this is the girl's target." Third Grandpa frowned as he watched Liu Leehom leave.
Not only were nine out of ten people in his room dissatisfied, after all, many people had seen what the eldest girl of the Yang family was like just now. I haven’t seen her for more than a year. She looks more beautiful than the girls in the city. I wonder if Liu Leehom is not good enough.
"My sister talked about it herself. When we marry a girl in Yangjia Village, we don't care about other people's uncles. As long as the person is upright and treats my sister well. After all, even if the family background is not good, I just have the ability to help." Yang Dongxu said with a smile: "The people in the village Do you have something to talk about when everyone comes here?”
The elder who originally thought Liu Leehom was not worthy of Hongying looked much better when he heard what Yang Dongxu said. The Yang family does not have to choose the man's family to have whatever they want now. As long as he is good enough and can live a down-to-earth life, it does make people worry-free. However, it is a bit bad to marry far away, but this is the Yang family's business. Yang Dongxu has already called him brother-in-law and they don't intend to say anything more.
"I have something to talk about." The eldest grandpa finished his words, then looked at each other and said to the third grandpa and others: "It's like this, our village has to choose a village chief, so I want to discuss this matter with you. "
"Grandpa, aren't you slapping me in the face? Although I have studied for a few more years, my age is still too young after all, so you elders should discuss such a big matter, and I will vote directly when the time comes. That’s fine, you can’t discuss it with me, so why not?”
Originally, Yang Dongxu thought that everyone came together to discuss buying a car, or to ask about future sports cars. After all, this is a big investment. If you don't hear the capable Yang Dongxu talk about it in person, no one will be at ease. Who would have thought that it was a matter of choosing the village chief.
"Your uncle didn't make it clear just now, so let me explain it." The third grandfather knocked the pipe in his hand: "That's it, what kind of apple planting is going to be done in the town now, and it is a hard target for the village chief to promote this. But in the village No one wants to grow this apple, so it’s a bit difficult to choose anyone.”
"What are you doing to grow apples? I haven't planted any saplings on the land I left in the village?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be because of this incident.
He knew about this when he came back to buy a car last time, but it has been almost half a year, and there is not an apple tree in the field. He thought this matter would just go away.
"We said we would unify and plant them together in the spring next year."
"Then if someone wants to plant, just plant. If they don't want to, just don't. You can't force a cow to hold down its head if it doesn't drink water, right?" Yang Dongxu said.
"I can't volunteer this time. It's said that our town has been designated as a pilot town and the whole town must be planted. It is said that the province is paying attention to this matter. Planting is not possible." The uncle said a little embarrassed.
As people of their generation, if there were any instructions from above, they would be willing to work to the death. When working on rivers and building dams, they would never hesitate to bring their own dry food.
But now everyone in the village wants to build a vegetable greenhouse after seeing how much money they have made. The boss suddenly asked them to plant unknown apple trees, which is undoubtedly a problem for people.
"Do we have to plant them all?" When the uncle said that the province was paying attention to this matter, Yang Dongxu curled his lips unconsciously. It would be damned if the province was paying attention to this matter.
This seems to be the leader's decision to get excited and then listen to some expert's advice. This leadership position is probably even higher at the county level than at the city level.
"It is said that they must be planted so that the fruits grown on the top and the crops grown below do not affect each other. It is said that this is an advanced variety of fruit trees from abroad. It grows fast, not to mention it is big and sweet. Last time I went to a meeting, there were a lot of those. The information and pictures of apple varieties look pretty good. ”
"What about the vegetable greenhouse that has been built now?" Yang Dongxu felt even more disgusted when the third grandfather said this. This is really deceiving honest farmers into fools.
"Last time the leaders from the town came and said that everything must be cleared. They said that one year of growing apples is worth three years of building this vegetable greenhouse, and the investment is much cheaper than this." Grandpa Six added later.
"Want to plant seeds in Mr. Liu's family?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"It doesn't have to be planted, I just heard what they said is good." Grandpa Six said with a dry smile.
"Do you want to ask what you mean?" Seeing that his elder brother looked a little embarrassed, the second grandfather took over the conversation.
"Our family mainly raises pigs and doesn't have a vegetable greenhouse. We'll see if we can grow other crops later." Yang Dongxu said nonchalantly.
Although he knew that this matter was definitely unreliable, he was always pushed out by the villagers as a pawn to charge into the battle. He was obviously not the winner of his brother-in-law, and he could not find fault after being praised a few times.
