Chapter 171: IOU
Unlike the village I met earlier, Xiaoli's hometown is a bit poor, and the road into the village is not hard-bottomed, it is a dirt road, which is a little difficult to walk.
When a small car enters the village, it seems that it can attract the attention of the whole village and attract a lot of attention.
Behind the car, followed by a few children, running and chasing the car, it seemed like a very interesting thing for them.
After finding a place to park, Hu Yang took out some snacks he bought in the city from the car and distributed them to the children with dirt on their hands, so that a group of little ones ran home happily.
Xiaoli's father trotted over, and in fact, he learned that his daughter had been waiting at the door for almost an hour when he came home today.
The one who can understand his daughter's hardships the most is always the father.
"Dad! These two are my colleagues from my company, and they happened to be playing, so I took their car back. Xiaoli hurriedly introduced Brother Hu and Andy to her father, and said that she was taken care of by them during this time.
A middle-aged man in his forties has rough skin that seems to be able to see pore cells.
In fact, Xiaoli talked about Brother Hu and Andy on the phone more than once, two men who are very good to her. Therefore, Xiaoli's father immediately greeted Hu Yang warmly.
Hu Yang took down some of the gifts he brought from the car, greeted him and said with a smile: "Uncle, hello! Just call me Xiaohu, he is Andy, you can call it that." Actually, we didn't help her much, Xiaoli is very strong. ”
Xiaoli's father, Wu Dashan, saw the appearance of a young boss in Hu Yang, and he couldn't let go of his name.
Andy, who was originally good at talking, was a little timid when he saw Xiaoli's father, and just buried himself in things: "I'll move things, I'll move them." ”
Rural people are very simple, and they say some simple words, not too many fancy, some very primitive gratitude, etc., but it makes everyone feel more good.
Wu Dashan helped with the things and took everyone home.
They have received a lot of attention. After all, Wu Dashan's daughter Xiaoli was abandoned by a negative man, and everyone in the village knew about it, and there were rumors about it.
For this reason, Wu Dashan almost clashed with the villagers and got into a fight.
Now it seems that Xiaoli has found a good man, the other party drives a small car, it seems to be very rich, but it won't be a junior or something, right?
However, this kind of thing, everyone is just guessing in their hearts, and they dare not say it. After all, like before, Wu Dashan was almost about to beat someone.
In Xiaoli's family, her mother is much younger than her father, only about thirty-five years old, so when she gave birth to Xiaoli, she was only in her teens. This is not surprising in rural areas, and early marriage is normal.
In addition, there is a grandfather, who is the same generation as her, has a younger brother and a younger sister. The younger brother is still studying, but the younger sister is not studying and has gone home to work.
Xiaowei is a sensible girl who knows that the situation at home is not too good, so she takes the initiative not to study and lets her younger brother read.
Originally, she also wanted to learn from her sister and work outside, but her family was still a little resistant. is probably afraid that she will be like her sister, be deceived after going out, and then bring a child back by herself.
So, for the time being, I can only stay at home and help the family do some farm work.
Especially now, my sister's children stay at home and need someone to take care of them, it is very hard to take care of children, I can't sleep well at night, I always cry, and I have to carry him around.
She was very happy, and her sister told her that when she came back this time, she would secretly give her 2,000 yuan.
She and her family know that now her sister can make money. To a large extent, it was the help of the two men who came back with him. She was a little curious, would there be her future brother-in-law among these two men?
If only the man with the car was. That kind of car, you can tell at a glance that it costs a lot of money. If my sister marries someone like that, she will not endure hardship, and her own family can enjoy happiness.
The same thoughts grew in Xiaoli's mother's heart. After saying hello, Xiaoli, her mother, and her sister crowded into a room to whisper.
"Dead girl, tell mom the truth, which of those two men likes you?" As a woman, she is very sensitive, and it is easy to see that Andy should be a little interesting to her daughter.
I have my own daughter, and I have children, so I can't be picky. The two men she brought home, she was satisfied. The wealthy one, she is even a little uneasy, looking at Andy, she thinks it is quite suitable.
"Sister, isn't that the one who has a car?"
"Let me tell you, the one with the car, it's not something you can grasp, so don't think about it. I think it's good to be called Andy, an honest person. ”
Xiaoli couldn't cry or laugh, what do these people think?
"It's all said, it's my colleague!"
"Don't talk to me about any colleagues, don't you know your situation? In the future, you want to find a divorced man to marry? Now there is a good one, why don't you grasp it? In the future, do you think you still have a choice?"
After speaking, he glared at his youngest daughter again: "Rich people are good, but rich people's families are also complicated, and the other party will definitely mind your sister's situation." Don't get into trouble with everyone, take care of yourself. ”
Xiaowei pouted and muttered, "I didn't say anything." ”
"Don't think about it, Andy and Brother Hu are naturally good men. But I'm not worthy of them, Brother Hu doesn't need to say, don't talk about me, no female colleague in our company dares to expect extravagance.
Andy, a man who is not yet married, marries a man with children, what is it like?"
"If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work? I look at Andy, and it's also interesting to you. Dead girl, let's have a snack! I've been out for so long, and I'm still this pig's brain. ”
......
The conversation between their mother and daughter, Hu Yang and the others naturally did not know, and now, they are talking with Wu Dashan and the old man, talking about some previous things.
The old man was very concerned about the previous things, and he couldn't stop talking about it, so Hu Yang listened patiently.
"At that time, the devil hit the opposite hill and almost came to our village. But at this moment, they have been defeated by our country, and a carload of devil soldiers has gone in ashes. I told you! I was ......."
Fighting devils is always the proudest thing for the older generation, and if you can leave a bullet hole on your body, you will be even more proud, and you can blow for a long time when you see people.
The old man did not serve as a soldier, but he helped the Eighth Road Army, and he was particularly proud. also said that he was familiar with a certain platoon commander, so he didn't know if the other party remembered him.
At that time, the Eighth Road Army was not wealthy, and in order to help them fight devils, the village lent some food. He still has an IOU in his hand, but he knows that after so many years, it is useless. Moreover, at that time, he was not big, and it was his father who lent the grain.
Besides, it didn't make any sense to borrow so much food at that time and deliberately go to the government to collect debts.
"Oh, can I take a look?" asked Poplar.
He heard that at that time, there were a lot of bad debts left, and the army couldn't figure out which ones had not paid off the people. So over the years, as long as there is a relevant IOU, the state will return it many times.
The old man thought that Hu Yang didn't believe it and thought he was bragging. So, I really went to dig out the IOU.
Hu Yang took a look, and sure enough, it was an IOU written by the People's Liberation Army, which indicated the time, etc., and lent two loads of millet, which was two hundred catties.
"Old man, do you want to get this account back? Actually, I don't care about the two loads of grain, but I think this kind of good thing should be made public. Hu Yang suggested.
"If you want to go to the government? Then forget it? Now two loads of millet are not worth much. The old man waved his hand.
Hu Yang smiled: "Not necessarily, I heard that there are people in the same situation as you, but the state repays the people more than ten times." Our party's policy has never been to take a stitch from the common people.
And, I think, that's a good thing. Your father did something that was good for the country, and he should be known to others. ”
"Is that okay?" the old man listened, a little moved.
Indeed, the matter of the two loads of millet is actually not a big deal, and I have never thought about asking the country to return it. However, if you can leave some fame for your deceased father, it will be different.
Although rural people are simple, it does not mean that they do not love fame! On the contrary, the more old people are, the more they care about their reputation.
"I'll do it! Old man, wait for news. Hu Yang said.
He made a phone call and went out and told the old Chinese seniors about such a thing.
When Hua Shixiong heard this, he also felt that this kind of thing should not be buried in history, but should be taken out and publicized, which is good for the country's reputation.
Hua Shixiong also made a phone call, and his connections in Fujian were bigger than expected, and he knew many people in the government.
While they were eating, people from the government came to the door overnight. Several people came, and one of them was specially engaged in appraisal, and it was necessary to identify whether the IOU was issued by the People's Liberation Army.
Then, check the public accounts left over from history to see if there are any relevant records.
really let them find the record, and in the record, there is also a sentence of high praise for Mr. Wu's father.
The people from the town government hurriedly held Mr. Wu's hand, and the person carrying the camera next to him hurriedly took pictures.
"This is the negligence of our work, so many years have passed, Uncle Wu has passed away, only to find out such a thing. The government decided so that the IOU was withdrawn, and then 10,000 yuan in cash was repaid, as well as 200 catties of rice. The town's leader said.
I have to say that the state is very good to its own people. The rice is still returned, the money is returned, and other daily necessities are very good.
What's more, this matter will be in the news, and the name of Old Man Wu's father will be publicized.
Old man Wu never expected that the country was so generous, and he always thought that if he really took the IOU to the government to ask for an explanation, it would be just a matter of paying it back, not to mention the trouble, and it would be said that he was stingy, just two loads of grain, so many years have passed, and he still has to find it back?
