Today, he is still wearing the old man's shirt of the seventies, which was originally white, but has been dyed beige, with a yellow and blue labor cloth coat on the outside, and a rooster with a big red crown in his hand.

At the beginning, Wu Deren didn't say anything, kill chickens when they should kill chickens, chant scriptures, release lines to release lines, and dig when they should excavate, but when they put copper coins, this Wu Deren will not be planted.

shrugged his nose and said with a smile: "Cheng Wazi, you think it's time to put money, shouldn't you also put some money for grandpa?"

Wu Yingcheng's skull hurt all of a sudden.

Speaking of this Wu Deren, in addition to having nothing to do against him, in fact, he is not a bad person, otherwise he would not have been the village chief for ten years, and the people in the village would still obey him so much.

The only thing I have is that I like to ask for money everywhere.

Whether it is a red wedding such as a New Year's holiday, marrying a wife and having children, or a white wedding such as burying people and moving graves, he will come over with a smile and ask for auspicious money.

Most of the people in the village were distressed by this, but they couldn't worry too much about him.

Because his two sons were in the production team, in order to develop the barren mountains and increase the farmland on the team, they were crushed to death by stone mills.

In addition, he has another principle for asking for money, that is, he eats large households, and small households only ask for it occasionally.

In his previous life, Wu Yingcheng quickly became a big family in the village since he threw away the iron rice bowl and did it himself.

Now it's okay, to repair the house to ask for money, to ask for money for the New Year, even to burn a piece of paper for the ancestors, his old man also licked his face to ask for money.

The opening is not small, one or two hundred when there is more, and one or twenty when there is less.

That's not all, Wu Yingcheng made a fortune by collecting mats, so he naturally encouraged people in the village to make more mats.

He propagandized everywhere that playing mats was a waste of farming, and he also scolded Wu Yingcheng for forgetting his ancestors and cutting off the livelihood of the villagers.

For this matter, Wu Yingcheng thought that his temper was not bad, and he quarreled with him a few times.

But in his grandfather's generation, he was alone, and there was a lot of gossip in the countryside, and when he quarreled, he said that he was unfilial, and his father Wu Peizhong was disloyal.

Every time he quarreled, his father went to make amends and said humble, so that Wu Yingcheng had no way to quarrel with him in the end, so he could only stretch out his hand and give, and he didn't want to develop in the village.

It wasn't until 88 years that Wu Yingcheng left Congnan City and moved his family to Congqing City for development, so that he got rid of the bitter fate of being asked for money and being scolded.

But later, I heard that Wu Deren was very strange, and asked the people in the village for so much money, but it was useless.

In the eighth and ninth years, when he was crushed to death by the same stone grinder, his two daughters came back to find him, all hidden in a box under the bed.

There is also a yellowed notebook inside, on which is clearly written the money given by everyone, and at the end is a sentence asking the two daughters to return the money to everyone next to each other.

Wu Yingcheng didn't receive this money, and other villagers thought that it was not easy for him, so they almost followed the money.

But no one figured out, why did Wu Deren do this?

For this question, Wu Yingcheng also thought about it for a long time in his last life.

When I was young, I thought I had little experience and didn't understand, but when I got old, I still didn't figure it out.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about this problem, and knowing his bad problem, he hurriedly took out a red paper bag from his bosom and handed it to him, with ten sheets of great unity in it.

After all, so far, he hasn't talked much about Wu Yingcheng's collection of mats.

He stretched out a calloused hand, took it, and didn't shy away from it, opened it directly, spat it out, and then clicked it.

But his face was not happy to collect the money in vain, but wrinkled like a dried radish, looking at Wu Yingcheng, his face was unhappy.

"Cheng Wazi, your four-way house, just such a little auspicious money, I'm afraid it's not very lucky!"

Wu Yingcheng's face suddenly became unsightly.

He also has a problem, that is, he doesn't like the kind of people who ask others for money and things.

In the previous life, when he encountered this kind of thing, he didn't care whether you were an official or a citizen, and he would be tough when he encountered it.

If you have hands and feet, can't you earn it by yourself, why do you have to ask someone for it?

"Grandpa, if I'm not mistaken, Li Yongshan got married last year, and you just accepted Uncle Li a dollar, right?

I'm already a hundred, you're still too little?"

Wu Deren smiled, no elder should have a solemn appearance at all.

"Cheng Wazi, this can be compared, you are a big boss now.

These four houses come down, almost 20,000, right?

Anyway, you have to give two hundred, right?"

Wu Yingcheng looked at his face that looked a little distorted and old because of his laughter, and the questions of his previous life couldn't help but appear in his mind again.

This Wu Deren is now asking for money with a face, and he doesn't need it until he dies, what is it for?

Hey, forget it, let's just save it in an interest-free bank.

Seeing a few workers waiting for the start of work, Wu Yingcheng finally compromised.

He took out ten sheets of unity from his bag and stuffed them into his hand.

Wu Deren took the money, and then took out a few copper coins from the yellow cloth bag he was carrying, sandwiched them between the palms of his hands, put his hands together, and read them in his mouth.

When Wu Yingcheng saw this, he suddenly thought of a way to earn it back.

His grandfather, Wu Hongsheng, was a landlord before liberation, and he heard that there was half a village of fields.

Later, when he was liberated, he took the initiative to surrender and let this Wu Deren become a soldier to show his loyalty.

As compensation, he gave the last large jar of copper coins to Wu Deren.

This thing can't be used, he has a lot of it.

In the previous life, he was taken in by an antique dealer and heard that he made a fortune.

As for this life, you're welcome, this wealth can't be made by others, you have to let yourself make it.

Thinking of this, Wu Yingcheng even wanted to give Wu Deren another 200 yuan.

After all, if you want to buy these things, you have to be close to him.

All of a sudden, his face looked much better.

A few people who helped to repair the house took a look and thought: How hateful this old man is to our boss, he is still smiling, and he will definitely get a good salary in the future.

Spit on his hand and work hard.

However, Wu Yingcheng really didn't think about the money he owed them.

In those days, the wages of these people were not high.

The carpenter is one piece of two a day, the mason is a piece of five a day, and the day of odd jobs is one piece.

What the?

Reinforcing steel worker?

I'm sorry, but in this era, there is basically no such job.

Like cast-in-place slabs, few people have heard of them, they are all built on the wall, and then the prefabricated slabs are buckled up to finish.

As for the steel bars that are not used much, they are all put by the masons according to their experience and mood.

When you're in a good mood, put a little more, and when you're in a bad mood, put a little more.

It's just a different place.

As soon as the house is down, the salary is about seven or eight hundred, but it is just a daily settlement.

Of course, craftsmen in this era are more arrogant and attach importance to their faces, and generally they will not do it today and not come tomorrow.

After working until five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Yingcheng settled today's money for them.

But Wu Deren, who had already left, seemed to have drunk some wine and came back one after another.

"Grandpa, why are you back again?"

Thinking of the copper coins in his house, Wu Yingcheng's attitude was much better, and he hurriedly greeted him.

I thought it would be a big deal to give another two hundred yuan, break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and stabilize this strange old man first.

But Wu Deren didn't ask for money, but grabbed Wu Yingcheng's hand, sat on the ridge, and looked at the people who were cutting down bamboo by the river not far away.

He didn't speak, Wu Yingcheng wanted to leave, but he didn't let him, his head was crooked, his eyes were squinted, he stared for a long time, and finally said a word.

"Cheng Wazi, grandpa begs you something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You promise me first?"

"Then you better stop talking. ”

"No, I'm going to say, if you don't say it today, you won't be able to say it tomorrow. ”

"Then you can say it. ”

"Can you finish the barren mountain in the village and then collect your mats? ”

"What?"

Wu Yingcheng was shocked.

The past is vivid, and I feel that this old man is going to be weird again.

"Grandpa, I heard you right, right?

When your old man took the whole village to the city, he didn't do it, how can I do it alone?"

Wu Deren stopped talking again, looked at the people cutting bamboo not far away for a while, and sighed.

"Cheng Wazi, we are farmers, or should we focus on the land, what do you say you have made the village look like? These bamboos are still tender, why are they all cut down?"

Wu Yingcheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, estimating that the old man must be drunk, and he didn't care so much about him, so he sat with him for a while, and then asked people to send him to the hotel.

This night, Wu Yingcheng didn't think about it in detail, and he didn't have time to think about it, he calculated the accounts, counted the money, cleared the goods, paid the salary, and was busy until a little more than a little before he went to sleep.

At six o'clock the next morning, I got up again, Wu Yingchun and Han Ying cooperated well, and there were no problems in several townships.

gave a thousand a day, and he rushed back when he ran out, and he almost finished collecting the mats on several rural fields, which saved Wu Yingcheng a lot of things.

The most gratifying thing is that the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it is time to meet the parents.

But Wang Sufen's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and she can't be too tired, and the direct mats from the four nearby villages are back in his hands.

After counting early in the morning, let Chen Chong take someone to put the mat in the car, and hurried to Shuanggou Town, it rained heavily last night, which will become a light rain, the road is wet and slippery, a pair of yellow rubber shoes are worn upside down, and when they arrive in the town, it is more than ten o'clock.

"Brother Wu, it's not good. ”

Far away, Han Ying ran over, covered in mud, the rain hit her pale face, anxious and helpless, trembling all over.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Yingcheng hurriedly asked.

Han Ying burst into tears, the rain mixed with tears, and he didn't know who was who.

"Chunwazi got into a fight with someone. ”

Wu Yingcheng's heart tightened.

Wu Yingchun hasn't fought with anyone for a long time, and if he fights today, there must be a reason why he has to fight.

"Where are you, take me there!"
