Chapter 3: I want to farm
Happy Village has been unprecedentedly lively during this period of time, and a topic is constantly being talked about in the mouths of the villagers - the college student son of Li Ming's family in the north of the village is not looking for a job in the city after graduation, but returns to the village to farm! In the eyes of the villagers, Li Xiaogang's behavior is undoubtedly asking for hardship and is equivalent to stupidity. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The rumors caused an uproar in the village for a while, and one has to admire that sometimes the most imaginative ones are not the scientists, but the peasants. All kinds of speculation about why Li Xiaogang returned to the village instead of staying in the city have been released.
What Li Xiaogang killed someone in the city, and the police were arresting him, so he had to return to the village for refuge! Others believe that Li Xiaogang harmed other people's girls in the city, and they couldn't spare him, so he was forced to come back, in short, the speculations of various versions are jaw-dropping.
As Li Xiaogang's father and a person who has a good face in the whole village, Li Ming has been scolding Li Xiaogang a lot in the past few days, and the atmosphere of the family is very tense. Li Xiaogang's sister Li Xiaoshui and his mother Bai Yun were very much in favor of their son's decision.
In order to convince the stubborn Li Ming, debates can erupt between father and son anytime and anywhere, and sometimes even fights turn into martial arts. However, Li Xiaogang was determined to farm at home, and he did not agree to Li Ming's request to let him go to the city to find a job, and Li Ming had no temper.
At dinner, Li Xiaogang was almost finished eating, and suddenly said: "Dad, give me the land, I want to farm!" ”
Li Ming said angrily: "My family doesn't have your land, so I have to plant and find land by myself!" ”
Li Xiaogang glared and said: "Why not, when the village divided the land, it was divided according to the head, and I also have a share, I want my share!" ”
Li Ming slammed the green onion on the dining table and said angrily: "What your land!" That's the land of the Zhang family! Now that I'm not dead, I'll have the final say on the affairs of the Zhang family, and if I say no, there will be none! ”
Li Ming was determined not to plant land for Li Xiaogang, and Li Xiaogang no longer messed around. It's just that for a few days, the Zhang family hardly saw any trace of him. They often go out in the morning and come back in the evening, and when they come back, they ask for food like hungry wolves. Bai Yun asked him what he was doing more than once, but Li Xiaogang smiled mysteriously but didn't answer, making Bai Yun suspicious all day long.
Li Ming is also strange, but he is embarrassed to ask, so he asked his wife to ask, but he always couldn't ask anything! Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore that day, and after Li Xiaogang went out, he quietly followed. For a whole day, Li Xiaogang walked around the barren slope at the east end of the village.
"What the hell is he doing?" Li Ming, who was following behind, was full of doubts in his heart at this time!
After a few more days like this, Li Xiaogang came back relatively early that day, just in time to be eating. Sitting at the dinner table, Li Xiaogang solemnly said to Li Ming: "Dad, I want to contract the barren slope in the east of the village!" ”
Li Ming almost didn't squirt out the food he was about to swallow again, and said angrily: "Are you crazy!" What are you contracted to do where the birds don't? ”
Li Xiaogang said with a smile: "Dad, let me tell you, the surface of that barren slope is only two or three centimeters of sand and gravel, but the bottom layer is soil, and I don't want to contract there to grow crops." ”
"Then why don't you plant crops?" Li Ming asked suspiciously.
"Plant fruit trees! Apples and pears can be grown! Dad, I've seen that the soil is not suitable for growing food crops such as wheat, but it is very suitable for growing fruit trees! To put it simply, it's a cornucopia, a treasure land, so good for me to meet, it's just fate! Ha ha! The more Li Xiaogang spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes were full of yearning for a better future!
Li Ming is a very representative peasant, and he still thinks that peasants should grow grain, so he said angrily: "I don't care, you have the ability to do it!" ”
"Dad, why don't you care, I'm still counting on you to talk to the village chief and help me contract that wasteland!" Li Xiaogang was in a hurry.
Li understood him and said, "Aren't you very capable?" If you want to plant, you go and tell the village chief yourself, I don't care! A college student ran back to farm, and I can't afford to lose that person! After saying that, he dropped his chopsticks and raised his leg and entered the house.
Li Xiaogang also threw the chopsticks and said loudly: "If you don't go, I'll go!" ”
Village head Zhang Erniu is more than 50 this year, less than 60. It has a high reputation in the whole Happy Village.
"You are still a village chief, you can't do such a trivial thing as letting Shanshan go to the village committee to be an accountant, it's a shame!" Liu Cuihua, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, began to nag again. Zhang Erniu chewed the steamed bun in his mouth sullenly and ignored her.
Shanshan on the side saw that her parents were about to quarrel about their own affairs again, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mom, look at you, I'm not incapable, why do I always want to go through the back door!" Dad, he is the head of a village, how many people in the village look at him, if he does this, how will he carry out his work in the future! Whoever doesn't say that my father is good in our village depends on my father's integrity! Okay, mother, don't mention this matter again in the future! Erniu glanced at this baby daughter with satisfaction and nodded secretly.
"Is Uncle Erniu here?" At this moment, Li Xiaogang pushed the door and walked in. As soon as he saw that it was Li Xiaogang, the village chief Erniu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the champion of our village!" Come in, come in! Shanshan also stood up, and hid to the side with some embarrassment.
Li Xiaogang walked in while responding, saw Liu Cuihua, and shouted sweetly: "Hello aunt!" ”
Liu Cuihua had a feeling of being frightened, and hurriedly said, "Okay, good!" Xiaogang, you haven't been to our house for a long time? Your Shanshan sister doesn't talk about you less, you two talk more! Liu Cuihua looked at Li Xiaogang and then at Shanshan, her eyes full of bright hope.
Li Xiaogang looked at Shanshan in wonder and said, "Sister Shanshan, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Shanshan was stunned, then quietly blushed, glanced at Liu Cuihua, and said: "Yes, I want to go to the village to be an accountant, but I still don't understand a lot of things, and I still want you, a college student, to teach me!" ”
"You say this, it's too simple, when I have time, I'll teach you!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the village chief and said, "Uncle Erniu, I have something to do with you today!" ”
"Oh, something's wrong! Come, come, sit down and say, if I can help, I will definitely help! Erniu hurriedly asked him to sit down and said. Liu Cuihua cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went into the house to clean up. Shanshan sat down silently next to the two. After thinking for a while, Li Xiaogang said: "Uncle Erniu, I want to contract the barren slope in the east of the village!" ”
"You want to get the land?" Er Niu asked in some surprise, and then said seriously: "I said Xiaogang, what the hell is wrong with you?" I finally went to college and didn't have to be a farmer anymore, why did you come back again? What a wonderful city to live in! ”
Li Xiaogang said: "Uncle Erniu, you are the head of a village, you should be more knowledgeable than those villagers, why are you the same as they think!" This peasant is not as good as a city man. Without peasants, not all the people in the city would have to starve to death and freeze to death! I don't think that the peasants are inferior to the people in the city, I just want to show everyone that they will never dare to look down on the peasants in the future! Uncle Erniu, you can give me the land! ”
