The sun is getting warmer, the mountain wind is getting more and more urgent, the old chief and the head of Zhenhua sighed on their knees, and when they talked about someone or something, their laughter was very hearty.

"Chief, I heard you say this, little guy, this time the blind cat caught the dead mouse, is it a contribution?"

"What kind of merit is this, I have never rubbed sand in my eyes, the couplet in front of the door of the king of Yama is good, there is a heart for goodness, although it is not rewarded; If you do evil without intention, you will not be punished! ”

"I don't agree with what you say, so how do you know if the little guy has already reached this point!".

The old chief's eyebrows rose sharply: "If he is not in his position, he is not seeking his own government, isn't he Yao Guangxiao and his ilk, I believe that the little guy is not like this!" ”

Chief Zhenhua smiled: "You are stingy and reluctant to give a reward, just say that the little guy is doing this good thing, neither left nor right!" ”

The old chief smiled and said: "Don't you, I don't know that the foolish baby has done a lot of reckless things, and I won't say anything about robbing the girl from afar, but it's a matter of being close to each other, but it's a taboo, and the shadow he thinks he is doing is not for you to carry it for him, and he has a good look!" Besides, this Han baby is still young, and he hasn't even married an aunt, and everyone around him has opinions about Xiaoshan's tax exemption this time, don't you want to be angry with him? Just hit him with 20 boards! ”

Chief Zhenhua couldn't help but shake his head: "You are too unkind, you have merit and don't be rewarded, but you have to play on the 20th board, there is no reason for this!" ”. .

"Why doesn't that make sense? This is called a thing that does not bother the two main waste utilization! ”

"Hahaha......"

……………………

Although it is not yet summer, the sun is high at noon, and the temperature is not low.

Fang Laoshi put a washed white blue cloth coat on his shoulders, bent down to carry the last bag of soybeans, and exerted his arms. The waist shook a bag of more than 80 catties of bean bags and was thrown onto the roof of the car.

"Stone. Yadan'er went to pay the grain tax with her grandfather to pay off last year's arrears. I guess there are still three or five pieces left, and then grandpa will buy you meat buns to eat! ”

Speak. Fang Laoshi put the yellowed strap in front of the cart on his shoulders, held the handlebars with both hands, kicked the ground with his feet, and arched his thigh muscles, and he pulled a thousand-pound cart forward.

"Grandpa, I don't eat meat buns, I want to study. How can Sister Hisense next door carry a schoolbag to school, why can I only go to the field with you every day? ”

Fang's maid is already eight years old, two years older than Shishi, and originally studied for a few days, but the first grade of primary school has just finished. The Fang family was poor and had to drop out of school.

Now that Yadan'er has dropped out of school for less than half a year, she is careful and naturally thinks about her friends in school.

As soon as he heard Yadan'er say this, Fang was honest and miserable, he didn't have a girl to study, and he also lost money and goods, but the family was really embarrassed, and he could only fill his stomach for the two children to study, but he didn't mention that there was still the imperial grain owed to the county in previous years, and it was good this year, plus he moved a month brick at the port with his eldest son, and he could barely pay off the arrears over the years.

In fact, if Fang Fang was honest and determined in the past, he would not have paid the arrears so happily, but now Xiaoshan is the secretary Xue in charge, and the villagers say that they owe money to other corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and even Secretary Xue's money is owed, is that still a person?

But this is easy to pretend to be big, and the days after the big head are gone, and the original plan to send the two babies to school again seems to have to be strangled to death for the time being.

Fang honestly didn't answer Yadan'er's words, he just cared about pulling the car, Yadan'er knew about going to school, and there was no hope for him at the moment, and his little face was crying, only the ignorant stone listened to the meat bun to eat, jumping up and down and cheering.

Under the blood-red sun, the three of them staggered on the gravel road with difficulty.

Fang Laoshi almost bit his teeth, the girl and the stone also blushed, the little face, the grandparents and grandchildren used all their strength, and finally dragged the cart from the dirt road to the gravel road, Fang Honest breathed a long sigh of relief, on this flat road, he was completely relaxed, and when he thought about it, this was Secretary Xue's virtue and politics, and he inevitably praised a few times for the good life of the people of Xiaoshan, such a good official.

"Stone girl, rest off, grandpa will put you in the car and take you to the grain management station to let you do the big car too!"

As he spoke, Fang honestly leaned on the car, took out the green dry tobacco stick from his waist, knocked off the ashes on his shoes, stuffed a pot of self-grown tobacco leaves, rubbed the flint, and smoked beautifully.

Fang Laoshi had just taken a few puffs of the car, and the girl who was playing with the stones behind the cart suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted: "Teacher Wu, Teacher Wu......"

Fang Laoshi raised his eyes and looked ahead, but saw that twenty meters away, a 28 bicycle was clattering, driving fast on the gravel road, riding towards him, and the car was a young man in his early twenties.

"What is he doing here?" Fang Laoshi was suspicious, and there were few dolls in the village who went to school, although he was puzzled, but when he met an acquaintance and a cultural person, Fang Laoshi was still happy to say hello: "It's Teacher Wu, where are you going?" ”

The man in the car heard the shouting before, and when he got closer, he lowered his speed, and then he saw that this ancestor and grandson didn't take the body to stop and turn over, and got out of the car: "Uncle Fang is going to your village, what are you doing with this big bag?" Could it be that when he heard the news, he hurriedly sold the stored grain? ”

Fang honestly didn't know what Mr. Wu meant by the news, and replied: "Isn't this still owing the county some grain, this year is good, plus there are more places in the county to engage in side businesses, and I want to pay back the money owed to the county, and the people in Qiaokou Village owe money to others, and the bank owes Secretary Xue money, which is absolutely impossible." ”

Obviously, Fang Laoshi was happy for others to know his motives for selling grain.

I didn't think of Fang Fang's honest words, but Mr. Wu was not praised and shocked: "What kind of money?" ”

Fang said honestly: "Originally, the family was in difficulty, every year when the county collects agricultural taxes, my family pays a little debt, and owes more than 70 yuan for more than ten years, this is not last year, I and my family engaged in a side business, and earned fifty or sixty yuan, plus this year, I plan to sell this car, and the newly harvested beans are simply cleared with the county!" Teacher Wu, I know what you are doing in the village, don't hide from you, I am afraid that our village will not work this year, and you will not wait for the second half of the year to do a side job in the port in the second half of the year, and send the children to school in the second half of the year! ”

Teacher Wu slapped his forehead: "My God, Uncle Fang, what are you talking about, the county held a meeting yesterday and the day before yesterday, Secretary Xue presided over the meeting and exempted all agricultural taxes, where else are you going to pay it, even if you want to pay, no one dares to collect it!" ”

"What are you saying about exemption from agricultural tax?" Fang Laoshi stared at him in a daze, his eyes slipped out of his lips, and he waved his hand at the end: "Secretary Xue is benevolent and righteous, no, this year he exempted what I owed before, don't you have to make up for it?" Anyway, I'm pulling here, and I can't pull it back again, lest I ......."

Teacher Wu interrupted: "Uncle Fang, you haven't understood what I mean, the county said, the agricultural tax owed before is gone, and we will no longer collect agricultural tax in Xiaoshan!" ”

"What's that?"

Fang honestly felt that his brain was buzzing, and his body was a little unstable, and he barely resisted the handlebars before he collapsed.

Fang Laoshi was so shocked, not stupid, he thought he was crazy for a while, and he thought that Mr. Wu was crazy for a while, and he was thinking about whether the secretary Xue in the county was crazy, you said that like the emperor in the past, he gave amnesty to the world and exempted the world from taxes for one year or two years, and he was full of gratitude for the emperor's grace, but those who farmed did not pay taxes, and he was worried about what to eat as an official, and whether the world would be in chaos in the future......

"Uncle Fang...... Uncle Fang"

Teacher Wu saw that Fang Laoshi's expression was wrong, and he pulled him by the shoulder to wake him up.

As soon as Fang Laoshi came back to his senses, he pulled Teacher Wu's clothes and said hurriedly: "Teacher Wu, you are a cultural person, do you tell me if Secretary Xue is afraid of hardship and our farming, it is said that this is a good thing not to pay taxes, but the officials in the county have to eat and drink, what does Secretary Xue take to feed them, they can't support them, they don't want to make Secretary Xue's rebellion?" I said, Mr. Wu, you hurry up and persuade Secretary Xue to take back this order, now the days are much better, let's wait for Secretary Xue to keep it for two years, and we will all be full......"

Teacher Wu really didn't expect that this party was honestly farming, but he was in the heart of the Xiaoshan County Party Committee." I said, Uncle Fang, your number is really rare, but you put your heart in your belly, the county's money can't be spent, last year there were many foreign businessmen in the county, and a lot of money was thrown into the county, that is, to buy the land of our port, the money is too much to use up, and then wait a few years for the port to open, our county doesn't have to worry about spending money, in other words, you have to talk about knowledge is power, you think about how many county masters in the county, but there is a person who has done such a big thing, why is Secretary Xue coming to our county, just like the flowering sesame seeds, the answer is that Secretary Yu is a top student of Beijing University, a real cultural person! ”

Teacher Wu explained clearly, Fang Laoshi was still a little confused in his mind, but he finally figured it out, even if he didn't pay taxes, no one would dare to make Secretary Xue's rebellion.

Teacher Wu came today to receive the task of the school, and came down to inform the dolls to go to school quickly, so when he met people, he said that there was a benefit of knowledge, because some families did not pay the tuition, but they thought that reading was useless at all.

At this time, seeing that Fang was honest and silent, Teacher Wu continued: "Since it is a good thing for Uncle Fang to study, why don't you let your maids and stones go to school, and in the future, they will be as educated as Secretary Xue, wouldn't it be good, besides, there are documents in the county that don't let dolls go to school, that's a violation of the king's law, Uncle Fang, you see?" ”
