Just when Yan Yuxiang's career was booming, another thing happened that made his heart fluctuate. And the impact of this incident was unbearable for him for a while!

On this day, he was instructing the workers in his factory how to operate the matter of feeding the piglets, when he heard a call outside the door: "Brother Xiang, are you there?" In order to prevent the "Little Black Pig Incident" from happening again, Yan Yuxiang specially bought back three big wolf dogs from the dog market in the city at a large price, according to Yan Yuxiang, which were purebred German black shellfish. Yan Yuxiang named them Tiger Race, Leopard Race, and Lion Race.

When Yan Yuxiang heard this voice, he knew that Yan Yuxiu was coming. Yan Yuxiu is a younger brother of his own village but not his own family, and the two usually walk relatively close, and they ask to drink together from time to time.

Yan Yuxiang knew that without his own "order", the dog at the door would not let go. I saw him shout from afar: "Coming!" and hurriedly explained a few words and walked out.

Yan Yuxiang scolded the dog at the door like a human being: "Don't make any noise, even your own family can't tell the difference! Silly dog!"

Yan Yuxiang said: "Why are you here?"

Yan Yuxiu didn't answer, but went straight to the house, Yan Yuxiang has been busy with the business in the factory in recent years, leaving all his food, drink and Lasa in the factory, Yan Xiuping regularly cooks for her every day, and he has a lot less opportunities to go back to eat, so there are few opportunities to see people in the village.

I saw Yan Yuxiu patting the soil on her body, as if she had just come back from the field, lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "I heard that you have recently expanded the factory, let me see if there is anyone who needs help." ”

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang quipped: "Your body can be blown by a gust of wind, what can you help me!"

"Haha, that's the same, can I come over to you for a drink?" Yan Yuxiu said disapprerovingly.

"That's a good feeling, if you really come to me for a drink, you wait, I'll cut some pork head meat, let's have two whole glasses." Yan Yuxiang stood up as he spoke.

In the past few years, because he has raised pigs, Yan Yuxiang's family is now eating and drinking without lack of pork, and while speaking, he took out a piece of pig's head meat from the refrigerator, cut it and said: "Even if you have a good mouth today, this is the pig's head meat I just pressed, and I am still reluctant to eat it." ”

Yan Yuxiu watched Yan Yuxiang cut meat while squinting and smoking.

After a while, Yan Yuxiang's side dishes were ready, just a small plate of pig's head meat, plus a bottle of Lao Baigan, and the two of them were ready.

It was Yan Yuxiang who spoke first: "You didn't just come to have a drink with me this time, you can tell me if you have anything, now your brother and I have nothing else, there are still a little more than eight thousand, you can take it if you need it." The struggle in the past few years has made Yan Yuxiang gradually more generous.

Yan Yuxiu flicked the chopsticks and said, "I have this impression in your heart?" I don't have anything to do, but I have a few words in my heart that I want to say to you. ”

Yan Yuxiang saw that Yan Yuxiu put down the chopsticks, hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, and sent them to Yan Yuxiu, and said: "Brother, I said the wrong thing, just say what you have to say, you have read more books than me, and you understand some truths." ”

Yan Yuxiu ignored his words that seemed to sound sarcastic, and paused: "Brother, have you heard that the village is going to elect a new village committee now." "The word about the village committee was actually changed when Dongzi was a child, but the people in the village still habitually call the brigade.

"What? The brigade is going to be elected? I don't know, I don't care, and I'm not in the village all year round, can I know?"

Yan Yuxiu said a word, and said: "Brother, then you don't have any ideas? With your current status in the village, if you don't say anything else, you can crush them to death by throwing money." ”

Yan Yuxiang only understood at this moment that Yan Yuxiu was here for this, he never cared about these politics, and never wanted to participate in these politics, but helplessly, many people have wanted to get his Yan Yuxiang and the politics of the village together.

Yan Yuxiang waved his hand and said directly: "Your brother and I have earned a few pocket money in the past few years, and I have not been rich to that extent, besides, I am not interested in the election of the brigade, just let your sister-in-law choose for me when the time comes." ”

Yan Yuxiu did not directly persuade him, but adopted a curved way to save the country, and said: "I know you are not interested, my brother has always been single-mindedly devoted to making money." But have you heard of it, this time Guo Qisheng is also going to run for election, and he has been canvassing door-to-door in the past few days. ”

"Hmm, who? is that Guo Qisheng, the only seedling of the Guo family?" Yan Yuxiang raised his head and asked rhetorically.

"That's right, you said that our village is full of people with the surname Yan, and suddenly there is an extra surname Guo, who is not suitable for it, but it has been good in the past few years, and the more he works, the more energetic he becomes, and you are all to blame, and he always runs to his factory to guide what! This is good, and now even the position of village chief is targeted by him. Yan Yuxiu said indignantly.

Yan Yuxiang did not answer his brother's remarks, but lowered his head and sandwiched a piece of pig's head meat and put it in his mouth, as if chewing the fruits of his labor.

Yan Yuxiu saw his expression and said, "Brother, you should tell me, what should I do about this? If Guo Qisheng is made the village head, will our Yan family still have a bright future? I see, the Yan family's ancestral hall is about to be unable to be saved, right?" Yan Yuxiu exaggerated, shook his head and said.

Yan Yuxiang thought for a while and said, "It's not that serious, isn't it just a village head, what is there to fight for in our village, and being a village chief may not be very beautiful." Besides, I ran to someone's factory because they called me over, and you said that I couldn't go over, if you also make a pig farm, I will do it for you every day. Do you think the Yan family is so easy to bully?" The last sentence shows that Yan Yuxiang still cares about Guo Qisheng's election.

Yan Yuxiu obviously smelled the meaning of this sentence, clapped her hands and said: "Okay! The Yan family is not easy to bully, but our Yan family has not been united recently, it is scattered, you said that the good offspring of the younger generation have gone to the city, and there are some old immortals left in the village, brother, you are now the most powerful person in the Yan family, if you don't speak, then those people in other groups will not dare to speak." Are you willing to give Yanxiang Village to a person with a foreign surname?"

Yan Yuxiang put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the wine bottle, unscrewed it and poured a glass for Yan Yuxiu first, and then poured himself a glass, and then said slowly: "What do you mean, I understand everything, but I will never run for the village head, you listen to me, it is not a good livelihood, thankless, but our Yan family must not let people with foreign surnames bully." If anyone dares to bully us, your brother and I will be the first to disagree. ”

Yan Yuxiu saw that Yan Yuxiang had already said this, so she said in a low voice: "Brother, since you are determined not to be the village chief, I still have a matter to inquire, do you think it has anything to do with you?"

Yan Yuxiang looked at Yan Yuxiu's eyes and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it with me." ”

Yan Yuxiu said: "You know that there is a coal mine behind our village, right? I don't know who first dug a small coal kiln in the back a few years ago, and the people who dig coal in the village have not been cut off since then. ”

Yan Yuxiang chuckled in his heart, but his expression was very calm, and he said: "Don't say that I know, this matter is so big, the county knows it, and it has been banned repeatedly, and our village will not stop because of this." ”

Yan Yuxiu said: "That's right, this matter was originally known to a limited number of people in our Yan family, I don't know who couldn't fucking bear to dig a shovel in the back mountain, and now it's hard to clean up." Yan Yuxiu was in a hurry, and all the swear words came out.

After hearing this, the corners of Yan Yuxiang's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "No matter who did this first, in short, it is now such a situation, no way, what do you mean by this? Do you want to fight the idea of coal mines?" In Yan Yuxiang's heart, his younger brother is a person who dares to think and do, and his biggest shortcoming is that he can't do anything well, so he is now almost forty years old, and he has no serious business.

Yan Yuxiu laughed and said: "Others don't know about me Yan Yuxiu, don't you know? How can I have that ability, unless someone like you and my brother can do it." As he spoke, he gave Yan Yuxiang a thumbs up. Yan Yuxiang's face was expressionless, only to hear Yan Yuxiu say again: "But now the coal business is not as good as before, but it is still good, I heard that there are many people who want to fight this idea, I heard that Guo Qisheng is one." After saying this, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I heard many people tell me that Guo Qisheng promised the people in the village that as long as he Guo Qisheng was elected as the village head, he could go to the back mountain to dig coal!"

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang couldn't sit still, he slapped the table and scolded: "Fuck! I can't imagine that this Guo Qisheng is not tall, but his ambition is not small, the coal mine in the back mountain is left to the Yan family by his ancestors, and I don't care who moves the Yan family, even the surname Guo can't move!"

Yan Yuxiu also slapped the table, "Ah, how can he Guo Qisheng move the coal mine in the back mountain......! But ......"

Yan Yuxiang said: "But what!

Yan Yuxiu said: "But if Guo Qisheng becomes the head of this village, it may be possible, and then it will not be possible for people to do whatever they want!"

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang thought that it was not bad, but although he raised his arms and called out that most of the people in the Yan family would support him, from his heart, he really didn't want to be the village chief, especially if he didn't want to get too close to politics, or he didn't want to get involved at all.

Yan Yuxiu saw that he was silent, so she rolled up her sleeves, picked up her wine glass, and said: "Brother, as long as you say a word, do it! I will run errands for you today to canvass for votes, you can rest assured, Yanxiang Village can't reach other people's hands!"

Yan Yuxiang still didn't speak, Yan Yuxiu said anxiously: "Brother, you have something to say, you are going to kill your brother in a hurry!"

Yan Yuxiang's mind at the moment has passed the consequences of various situations, and the best thing can only be a sigh, and said: "Yuxiu, don't blame my brother, it's still the same sentence, I don't want to do this for a living, but if his surname Guo wants to do it, I will resolutely oppose it, and the Yan family is not dead, why should it be his turn to speak with a foreign surname! No matter who the Yan family does your brother, I will raise my hands in favor." He raised his hands as he spoke.

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiu sat down, pulled the corner of Yan Yuxiang's clothes, signaled him not to be too excited, and sat down to talk. Yan Yuxiu said: "In this case, I can't force you anymore, but you are the benchmark of our village, I am definitely not a compliment, Yanxiang Village can have no village head, or no village committee, but not Yan Yuxiang!"

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang hurriedly waved his hand, and he didn't dare to accept it from the bottom of his heart. He worked hard day and night for his wife and children to live well, and he never thought of anything else, so when others raised him high, he would never accept it.

Yan Yuxiu continued: "Whether you like to hear this or not, in short, this election in the village will largely be determined by the pillar industry of the village - the breeding industry, and when it comes to the breeding industry, it depends on you, so the people in the village dare not listen to your opinions." ”

Yan Yuxiang listened to what Yuxiu said, and asked directly: "I don't dare to say this, and you don't want to say it to anyone, but if you want to say anything, be direct, I still have that attitude, as long as it is the Yan family, I will support it, as long as it is surnamed Guo, I will oppose it!"

Yan Yuxiu picked up the wine glass, took a sip of Lao Baigan, and then said: "Brother, then, I have a way to stop Guo Qisheng from doing this, that is, ...... It is...... It's me who is running for the village head, and I just need my brother, how about you stand on a platform for me?" Yan Yuxiu finished the second half in one breath.

Yan Yuxiang raised his head and looked at Yan Yuxiu, seeing that he was still a little embarrassed, and his eyes didn't dare to look at his brother. After a while, Yan Yuxiang said: "Okay, I support you! But we can't touch the things of the ancestors, you have to promise me this!"

This is a major change that has happened to Yan Yuxiang in just a few years, in order to fill his stomach, in order to stop the whole family from starving, he never thought that coal was the stuff of his ancestors, and he didn't even think about the law, but now Yan Yuxiang is also middle-aged, and his family background has been good in recent years, and he has become a "10,000 yuan household" in the village, although he didn't think so in his heart, but he seemed to position his words and deeds as a benchmark in the village.

Human change is like this, sometimes it is brought about by learning, sometimes it is brought about by roles. Learning brings subtle and subjective changes, and roles bring unavoidable and objective requirements. But whatever the reason, as long as the person lives in society, change will happen all the time. It's adaptation, but it's also growth. Yan Yuxiang's growth was brought about by the change of his role in the village.
