Chapter 020: Blood, Water

After another three weeks, the second uncle was discharged from the hospital.

The second uncle was suffering from colorectal cancer and had undergone surgery, but fortunately the cancer was in the middle stage, and it would be even more troublesome if it reached the advanced stage. However, after going home to rest for a while, I have to go to the hospital for a follow-up.

Originally, the doctor asked to be hospitalized for observation, but considering that the cost was too high, the second uncle insisted on going home to recuperate.

After Niu Tiangou's mother heard that her second uncle was discharged from the hospital, she hurriedly bought some nutritional supplements and rushed to her grandmother's house to visit.

At this time, the uncle also rushed back from Shanyang County.

Seeing that the second uncle's condition is improving and his body is recovering, everyone is finally relieved.

……

Early the next morning, after the eldest uncle comforted the second uncle again, he planned to go back to Shanyang County.

Grandma's house is a few miles away from the roadside bus station, and my uncle happened to be on the same road as Niu Tiangou's mother when he went to the station. So Niu Tiangou's mother also left with her uncle.

On the way, Niu Tiangou's mother naturally asked about her niece Narcissus.

After hearing this, the uncle's face sank. After the niece Narcissus returned home, she whispered Niu Tiangou's mother's words to the eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt passed this on to the eldest uncle. Uncle was very unhappy when he heard this.

Now that he heard Niu Tiangou's mother mention this again, the uncle was naturally unhappy, but after all, he was facing his own sister-in-law, so he could only tell the truth, so that the sister-in-law broke off this mind early.

So, the uncle talked about the ins and outs of Narcissus's family affairs......

It turned out that there was a tax director in Shanyang County, who happened to see a narcissus girl on the way to Shanao Township, Shanao Township, to inspect the tax work.

At that time, Narcissus was only 6 years old and in the first grade of primary school.

The tax commissioner has read countless people, and his eyes are particularly poisonous, and he can see at a glance that the little narcissus is a rare beauty embryo. That's when he thought of his 8-year-old son.

The tax commissioner's son was not only black and ugly, but also a bit wooden, and from the first to the third grade of elementary school, every time he took the class exam, if he was second to last, there was no first from the bottom.

The tax commissioner wondered in his heart, he was dignified and flexible, how could he raise such a "treasure of the world"? Could it be that the took the wrong medicine when she was pregnant?

He is troubled by this, his son's appearance is not good, and he is not good at studying, and his future marriage will be a big problem. Who in the city girl would take a fancy to such a "living treasure" as his son?

After thinking about it, he thought of finding a rural girl for his son, and the little narcissus girl in front of him was his ideal daughter-in-law in the future.

So, after the inspection was over, he entrusted an old acquaintance from Shanao Township, Shanao Township, to inquire about the situation of the little narcissus.

As soon as the old acquaintance inquired about the primary school in Shanao Township, he found the uncle in Xiaoao Village, Shanao Township.

After an old acquaintance of the tax commissioner explained his intention to his uncle, he took him to the tax officer's house.

Needless to say, the tax director's family is well-off, but the color TV in the large living room has already moved the uncle who has lived in the poor countryside for most of his life. You must know that at that time, in the entire Xiaoao Village or even the entire Shanao Township, there was not a single household with a black and white TV.

Although, when the uncle saw the black and ugly son of the tax director, he was a little unhappy, but then he thought, other people's sons are not black or ugly, can they go to a rural girl? People are from the city, and they are the bureau chiefs, powerful, rich and housed, and if Narcissus marries in the future, won't he fall into a blessed nest? Thinking of this, the uncle was relieved.

After the good wine and food were served, and the wine was hot, the uncle naturally agreed to this family business, but only made a request to the tax commissioner, that is, to help his only son, Narcissus's younger brother, find a job in the future, and the tax director naturally agreed.

Let his son have a job in the future, jump out of the "farm gate", and no longer dig in the soil like him, which is the biggest wish of the uncle in this life.

In the end, the tax commissioner instructed the uncle: "A girl's family, just read a few words in elementary school for two years, and don't let the child go to junior high school or high school." In fact, he was worried that in the future, Narcissus would read too many books and think too much, and in the future, her wings would be stiff, and she would definitely not recognize this family business.

For the sake of his son, the uncle naturally obeyed the tax director, and the narcissus girl had just finished the fourth grade of primary school, and the uncle said that she would not let her study anymore, and pulled her home to help her do farm work.

Later, the uncle did get a little bit of light from the tax commissioner and got some benefits.

That year, my uncle wanted to rebuild a new house, and he couldn't buy wood anywhere, because the supply of wood was very tight at that time, and he had to look for connections everywhere.

The uncle went to the tax commissioner to tell him about it casually, but the next day, the tax commissioner sent someone to deliver a car of good timber.

Uncle couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in this world, powerful people are bullish when they do things.

Also, two years ago, when the countryside was engaged in water conservancy and quarrying, my uncle was accidentally hit by a big rock that jumped from the mountain and broke two ribs and was admitted to the hospital.

However, after the uncle was hospitalized, the village and township not only covered all his medical expenses and living expenses, but the cadres also continued to visit and comfort him in the hospital, and also asked him what difficulties his family had, and the village and township would definitely try their best to help solve them.

Uncle thinks that all this is because he has that relationship with the tax director, and it is all because of the tax director's light......

After saying this, the uncle sighed and said to Niu Tiangou's mother: "Sister, you say, can I withdraw from a family affair like this?" I'm a 'foreigner' there, unaccompanied, okay if I don't have some connections? Besides, my son's future work will depend on this relationship. ”

"But I heard from Narcissus that she didn't like the tax officer's son at all. You can't ignore her lifelong happiness because of this, right? You've got to listen to Narcissus himself, right? Niu Tiangou's mother knew that the uncle was interested in the power, money, and family background of the tax director's family, and did not care about the feelings of the niece of Narcissus.

"She's a kid who knows a fart! How did she know how difficult life would be! ”

The uncle seemed to see Narcissus's dislike of the tax director's son again, and suddenly became angry: "People are darker and uglier, but people are from the city, and there is an old man who is the head of the authority, he wants power, money, money, work, house, and life, why is he not happy when he marries?" Besides, there are so many people who are in his house that they have to go. Could it be that if you marry a poor man who is white and handsome, who spends all day in the mud and water in the field, and worries about work, house, and three meals a day, you will be happy if you live like a cow or horse? ”

“……”

……

Finally, the uncle saw that the time was not early, glanced at the roadside station, and said, "I'm going to take a ride, and I won't tell you more." I understand what you mean. Although you and I are brother and sister, there will be absolutely no room for negotiation when it comes to narcissus. ”

After the uncle finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Looking at the back of his uncle, Niu Tiangou's mother knew that his uncle's mind had been decided, and it was useless to say anything......

Back home, Niu Tiangou's mother felt very uncomfortable, she didn't expect her brother to be so decisive in this matter, she felt guilty and uneasy for not persuading her brother and not helping the child fulfill his wish.

Niu Tiangou knew as soon as he saw his mother's sullen expression that his mother must have touched a nail in front of his uncle, and it was a big nail.

My mother thought that family affection could move my uncle, but in my uncle's eyes, power, money, and family wealth were far more important than family affection.

Although Niu Tiangou does not approve of the marriage of close relatives, but through this incident, he has another layer of experience of secular human feelings, and he feels that in addition to "height, appearance, and money", the conditions for erotic love in the world should also have "power, family background", etc., and in the face of these conditions, family affection will also be eclipsed.

In the face of flesh and blood, blood is thicker than water;

In front of the wealth and power, blood is also water.

This is the world.
