Chapter 121 Charity
In the countryside in summer, when night falls, there are always groups of people sitting at the door, chatting on the side of the road, and most of them are women of the family. Men usually go to a certain card game to gamble twice, or go to the village commissary to chat and fart.
The chats are all short in some parents, what is the two of them making trouble again, what is the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law fighting, what is the person who picked up a shovel, any topic can make them talk until eight or nine o'clock in the night.
While enjoying the cool outside, exchanging gossip news they know, or expressing their unique opinions on topics that interest them, they are particularly enthusiastic.
The big girl, the little daughter-in-law and the old lady, as well as a group of bear children in the village, also joined in the fun, chasing and fighting, and laughing and laughing very happily.
No, today Wang Yong's house gathered a group of village girls as usual. More than a dozen old ladies, middle-aged women, little daughters-in-law, and eldest daughters in the neighborhood moved the small benches or maza at home and held a meeting.
In order to hold every women's conference smoothly, the old Wang family has invested a lot of money. Not to mention anything else, the 60-watt bulb installed at the door is not something that ordinary people are willing to use.
Not to mention the tea and snacks, candy, melon seeds and peanuts and the like, this treatment is definitely the only one in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, and you can never find a second one!
At this time, Wang Yongzheng and his younger brother Wang Liang were lying on the kang, blowing the air conditioner, eating the first batch of red grapes and cut watermelons that had just been picked from the grape seedling rack in the courtyard.
Rural families generally like to plant a few grape seedlings in their yards, which not only provides a good place to cool off in the hot and humid summer season, but also provides a little extra snack for the children at home.
It's just that often the bears can't wait for the whole bunch of grapes to be red before picking, and when the grapes the size of rice grains are produced from the grape stalks, they have to run under the grape trellis every day to watch for a while.
Look at how much the grapes have grown today, and of course, I hope to see that a few grapes have begun to show color, and there is a little bit of red.
The grapes that have just hung red are picked, and when they see one, they pick one. Although the taste is still somewhat good, but for those bear children who don't have much pocket money and snacks, they are already satisfied to be able to eat grapes, where does it matter if he is sour or not?
When the grapes are really ripe, often only a few second-generation grapes with a very bad taste (late flowering, late fruiting) can be seen on the whole grape shelf. The grain is small, the taste is sour, and it is still green when the general generation has been fully ripe. up.
Although they are always counted down or complained about by their parents, all the children are still happy to burrow under the grape trellis every day and look for those early-ripening grapes everywhere. Satisfy your appetite.
In addition to a dozen grapes, there is also half a bowl of cyan two-pointed diamond dates. This kind of jujube is crisp and sweet when ripe, and it is very popular with everyone.
It's a pity that it's not time yet, although the size of the jujube looks quite small, but the flesh is still fleshy, and there is only a little sweetness.
This is the gluttonous Wang Liang who went to the farm during the day to pick it up, and after eating two of them, he offered treasures one by one for the whole family to taste.
"Why don't you eat the dates you picked? What watermelon to eat, how delicious are dates? ”
Wang Yong looked at Wang Liang, who was like a piglet, and almost finished eating a piece of big watermelon in the blink of an eye. It's really annoying that this kid is so annoying. These dates are not ripe, why are you picking so many of them?
At this time, the fruits in season were delicious watermelons and a large number of peaches on the market, and Wang Yong was loveless for peaches covered with fluff. It's watermelon. Very much to his appetite.
Especially today's watermelon, he drove back to the farm with Uncle Biao and ran to the watermelon field to pick it out. After this melon king Yong entered the melon field, he saw it at first sight. Because it has long cracked its mouth. The bright red melon pulp inside is exposed, and people can't help but want to take a bite when they look at it.
Seeing that his younger brother listened to his words, not only did he not have the slightest intention of repentance, but also stretched out his hands. picked up a piece of watermelon in one hand, and ate it bite after bite on the left, deliberately provoking himself.
Wang Yong was furious!
Reaching out and picking up a piece of watermelon, put it to your mouth without biting, and gently sip, the sweet rustling melon pulp poured into your mouth with a stream of sweet juice and a rich watermelon fragrance.
"It's so sweet!"
This is a taste that most people in the city will never eat! The main thing is that if the watermelon is ripe and then picked, it is not conducive to transportation, and it is easy to spoil if it is left for a little longer.
Therefore, most of the watermelons seen in supermarkets in the city are picked by melon farmers as soon as they are ripe, and then they are not known to be transported to retail stalls by vendors after a few days. In terms of freshness, there is no comparison at all.
It is probably because of this that the so-called picking gardens on the edge of the city will be so popular in the future!
Taking advantage of a short vacation, taking advantage of the short vacation, or taking your wife and children to the picking garden to pick fresh fruits and vegetables, this unprecedented experience has made many people in the city happy. Even if the price of the picking garden is much more expensive than the market, it cannot resist their enthusiasm.
The 29-inch large-screen color TV is playing a TV series "Going to Tiger Mountain Again" produced on Hong Kong Island. Wang Yong, who is fed up with the bombardment of various blockbusters in the Internet era, is still very interested in this kind of old film, and he is very fascinated by watching it with his younger brother Wang Liang.
At this time, at the gate, under the light of the big bulb as bright as day, a group of old ladies were sitting together and chatting, and the atmosphere had gradually reached a climax.
"Speaking of which, although Wang Yong grew up with us, you can see that since he started to tinker with the greenhouse that year, he has become more and more incomprehensible."
The old aunt on the door said with emotion, of course, it is not that he has any relationship with Wang Yong's family, but that the village is like this.
The village is not big, generally speaking, when it comes to the relationship between generations, it is not uncles and aunts, that is, grandparents and grandparents, and what is even better is a little child of the same age as Wang Liang in the old Ma family in the village, and even Wang Hai has to take care of others and call him a big brother!
Wang Yong and Wang Liang are naturally a generation younger than others, according to their generation, they have to call the third uncle when they see them! And when I saw his father, I had to shout - second uncle!
This situation. Every time Wang Yong encounters such a senior villager, he is ashamed to speak! I can't say it! Calling uncle to a kid who is six or seven years younger than you or even a teenager, he can't do this anyway.
"But no, just talk about today's incident, it's obvious that the man rode a bicycle without looking at the road, and he rode fast, and as a result, Liu Biao's newly bought car was scratched. Don't let him lose money, but instead come over to give someone a hundred yuan, what do you think he is going to do? ”
As soon as she talked about it, the aunt who lived diagonally across the door from the east couldn't help but spray. Isn't this kid stupid? It's not your responsibility, just don't let him lose money. Why do you still give money to others?
"If you want me to say, my eldest nephew is kind-hearted, and I can see that the man must have no money, and he is poor. He's doing a good deed! Let's talk about him a little bit as an elder, but we can't overdo it. ”
This is the same row of houses to live in, and it is said that Wang Yong also ate other people's milk aunts when he was a child.
"What is this, you don't know, do you? Wang Yong,, didn't you tell everyone? The old aunt looked smiling, but how do you think she is definitely showing off!
"What are you talking about? I don't even know what to say about him! Tian Xiuhua hatefully began to complain about the eldest son who she couldn't control more and more.
"Tell me. I haven't even seen people's faces, so I send money to others, although it's not much, but this year has passed. That's one or two thousand dollars! It's all donated by him! ”
Although Tian Xiuhua said it powerfully, anyone could see it, and when she said this, the pride on her face couldn't be hidden.
"Or I said Wang Yong, what kind of god of wealth is. He's a fortune boy! Give money to whoever you meet. The old aunt was very excited to give Wang Yong a new nickname, and was eager to be recognized by everyone.
"What are you talking about? Who did Wang Yong donate money to? ”
"yes. Donating one or two thousand yuan a year, but I don't know it, what the hell is going on? ”
"yes, yes, what the hell is going on?"
finally got the opportunity to show off her long-awaited appearance, and the old aunt took the lead and confessed the "great achievements" of Wang Yong, a fortune boy.
"He read from the newspaper that there were a few children in the mountainous area of our neighboring county whose families were so poor that they were about to drop out of school before they even finished primary school, so he paid for his own money to remit 150 to each of the six children every month, and it had been more than a year!"
"Is it true?"
"Isn't it?"
"This is not related to him, why is he?"
The old aunt was even more excited when she saw that she had instantly become the focus of everyone.
"Hehe, if he hadn't stumbled upon the slip he sent to the post office, I don't know when I would have known about it! This kid also plans to do good deeds without leaving a name, hiding it from his family! ”
After causing a heated discussion among everyone, the old aunt couldn't be happier. Reach out and pick up a piece of cut watermelon, put it in your mouth and take a big bite as a treat to yourself.
"If you want me to say, Wang Yong did a good job! At such an age, you know to do good deeds, and such a caring child should be praised! It's good that you say strange things one by one, and you don't have any love at all! ”
This is the aunt who resolutely stands on Wang Yong's side to support him, and she can't see this kind of thing the most. In the past, I didn't have the ability, but after listening to it, I was at most accompanied by a few tears and it was over.
Now, there are three greenhouses at home, and there are eighteen pigs and three cows, and they earn more than 100,000 yuan a year! With money in hand, when you hear about it again, of course you can't just talk about it!
"By the way, where are those kids? I'll send them some money tomorrow. This kid can't do it if he doesn't study, how will he live if he doesn't study? ”
Auntie's last sentence was unanimously approved by everyone. Because under the drive of Wang Hai, every family in the village now has a greenhouse, and they all raise a few pigs or cattle and sheep. The consciousness of scientific farming and scientific breeding has been deeply imprinted in the minds of all Wangjiazhuang villagers through the opening of technical training courses again and again.
If the children in the family do not go to school and study, even if the parents who love their children will not hesitate to slap them, because they know the importance of knowledge.
Just like the university professor who came to give a lecture last time said, in the near future, those who graduate from elementary school or even junior high school will be as illiterate as they are, and it will be difficult to leave home and go outside.
No one wants to be a soldier, and the minimum requirement is to graduate from junior high school; There is also going out to find a job, maybe it will be difficult for college students to find a job by then, let alone those who have not graduated from elementary school?
It is said that the state will soon introduce a new policy to expand the proportion of college students admitted year by year, and in the future, college students will no longer be assigned jobs after graduation, and all of them will have to find them themselves.
Seeing that the big guy was talking and talking about the fact that the country no longer allocates college students, what is the use of not going to college, my aunt is unwilling.
"I said, how did we get here? Wang Yong, do you know the addresses of those children? Find me a piece of paper to write it down, and I'll send it tomorrow! ”
"I still need you to send money!" The old aunt had a stiff neck, tilted her head, looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, and said with an uncontrollable expression: "Since last month, those children have been divided by our two families. My family supported three, and theirs supported three! ”
Seeing this old lady stretching out her hand to herself and gesturing three, Aunt Wang Yong glared angrily. All these good things have been done by you, what else do you say? What is wrong with Wang Yong, I think it's just to show off yourself, right?
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, auntie, since you have this heart, don't worry that you can't send this money." Tian Xiuhua looked at everyone with a smile, "I have discussed with our boss, and according to Wang Yong's wishes, we will set up a Wangjiazhuang Charity Foundation in the village." ”
"Charitable foundations?"
"What are you for?"
"Stupid to death, charity, that is, to donate money and materials to whoever suffers from a disaster! It's like when our village organized donations to those who were affected by the flood that year, it was called charity! ”
"Oh! Is that what is going on? Is this a good thing? Anyway, the money in the family can't be spent now, so if we can help, we will definitely not say anything! What kind of charity is this, count it as one of our families! ”
"Hehe, have you become the master of your mountain?"
"Why can't I be his master? At home, whatever I say is what I say! ”
"No, why did I hear that two days ago, you spent more than 100 yuan to invite people to dinner because of Dashan, and you had a big quarrel, and you went back to your mother's family's house Dashan didn't even persuade you?"
"That's it, that's it, I think you're bragging!"
"Go back tonight and serve your family in the bed, he will definitely agree! Hahahaha......"
"Ahh
"I'll scratch you to death!"
"Hahahaha......"
At night in the countryside, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, no traffic, no colorful neon, no various restaurants and entertainment venues that are still open at night. But the countryside night also has its own charm.
Against the backdrop of the dog's bite and the frog's cry, this cheerful laughter spread farther and farther, as if it had crossed the barrier of time and space, and even the stars in the sky were heard, blinking and carefully watching this scene of happiness and joy in the world. (To be continued......)
PS: Because I was warned, I had to make a big change, and today's chapter is a chapter after the two-in-one deletion and modification of the house, and I'm depressed!
