Chapter 10 The second master is back
In the afternoon, just after dark, Wang Yong returned to the village. Hearing the sound of the car outside the door, the aunt ran out to check.
"Coming back? What do you think? Is it done? ”
"Auntie, things are going well. Isn't this just rushing back, there are so many things in this family, and you can't just let the uncle keep an eye on it. If I'm tired of my uncle, then I can't afford it. ”
"Your uncle is not tired, just staring at people and working every day, how tired can you be? By the way, have you eaten? Auntie kept it for you, potato stewed beans, baked cakes. ”
"Well, I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry."
"Then hurry into the house, go, go." The aunt dragged Wang Yong to the house.
"Auntie, where's my uncle?"
"I said I was going to the village chief's house to have a look, but who knows what's going on? The whole day is busier than the village chief. I'm always looking for this and that, and I don't know what I'm busy with? The aunt said dissatisfiedly in the hall.
"Hehe, aunt, this shows that my uncle has prestige in the village, and everyone trusts him, which is a good thing. You should support my uncle, maybe my uncle can be a village chief. ”
The aunt brought a plate of oil cakes into the house and put it on the dining table, turned around and went out, and said as she walked: "I still support him, our family's affairs are not finished, and I still have to worry about other people's affairs." Who does he think he is? I don't know how everyone gossips? Auntie said very dissatisfied.
Wang Yong felt that he still shouldn't get involved in the affairs between the two elders of the uncle and the aunt, maybe this kind of usual small quarrel is a small way for the older generation to communicate their feelings, and the young people will not understand. Just like Wang Yong before, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't understand it. But now he understands a little, it is a kind of love, a kind of care, a kind of communication, a kind of emotion, it is a hidden touch that is easy to ignore.
Listening to the aunt constantly counting down the uncle's no, Wang Yong quickly finished dinner.
"Auntie, I'll go to Liu Lijun's house to have a look. This chicken farm is also ready to be built, and the uncle told me that Liu Lijun has worked in other people's chicken farms, so I will ask if I would like to come and do it? ”
"You don't have to go, your uncle asked for you. Liu Lijun was not at home, saying that he had gone to the south to open a farm with others. His daughter-in-law is at home, and I heard your uncle say that he came back to pack his things and will go back in two days. Maybe he's made a fortune, this guy has taken all the family over. The big guys all said that Liu Lijun made a fortune in the south, and bought a big house and a car there, which didn't bring the family over to enjoy the blessings. Tell me, why didn't Liu Lijun see that he was so capable? The aunt said with a gossipy expression.
"Really, who are you listening to? Is it accurate? Wang Yong said with some skepticism. The people in the village spread this kind of news and exaggerated it. In these days, it is not so easy to go out alone and make a name. Not only must you have money, but you must also have a relationship and the help of nobles, otherwise you will be reckless and will kowtow and bleed. There are too many examples of this to count. Why was Liu Lijun so lucky and made him rich?
"How can this be fake? That's what everybody says. Look at his daughter-in-law coming back, dressed in gold and silver, dressed like a city person. Can this be a lack of wealth? I heard that I didn't even want the family's land, so I gave it to his eldest brother, and the house was also handed over to his eldest to take care of. This is to make a fortune outside, and in the future, I will not go back to our poor ravine. Auntie said a little sourly.
"Hey! Now in the village, it's not easy to hire someone. If you don't want to do it with less money, we can't afford it if you have more money. One is better than the other, and they all want to do jobs that can make a lot of money. In the past few years, those who have the ability, money or connections have gone to the city, and in the village, a lot of land has been wasted, and no one wants orchards. Everybody wants to go to the city and enjoy the blessings! "Aunt said with some incomprehension.
In fact, Wang Qiang has long said that he wants his aunt and uncle to go to the city to live with him. But the two of them, who are still farmers at heart, are reluctant to leave the land where they were born and raised. Although the uncle spends most of the year busy with his engineering team, the crops in the field have not been delayed at all. Every year in spring and autumn, no matter how busy the uncle is, he will always come back to work with the aunt. Others have also persuaded the old couple, and there is no shortage of money, why bother? Uncle always repeats a sentence over and over again: If a farmer doesn't farm, is he still a farmer? I was born and raised in the countryside, and I have been a farmer all my life.
"Auntie, what did my second uncle say? Can you come over and help look at the greenhouse? ”
"Your second uncle? Your uncle called him. Where is he in Shaanxi now? If you say yes, you will watch people load and unload the truck, and then issue a ticket. It's more than 3,000 a month, but people don't look down on your salary. Don't think about finding someone, it's okay, isn't it just two greenhouses, a few chickens and ducks? Auntie did it for you. Aunt said imposingly.
"No, in fact, I didn't want to find someone, this uncle said that these two people are kind to our brothers, I used to help do a lot of things, I now want to do my own business, recruit some people who are kind to me, this is called not forgetting the original. I just thought that anyway, with the salary of the two and three of them, I think it should still be affordable. Since people have more work to do, then we don't have to worry about it. I do these things, you just say that the greenhouse, the current things, are all mechanized, when you really use people, just find a few temporary workers to help, and there is no need to find people. Wang Yong said. In fact, Wang Yong was also reluctant to find someone in his heart. Because he is afraid that after a long time, it will not be good if others find out the secret of Xiaoguang and Xiaoshijie. Besides, Wang Yong didn't do these things to get rich, it was too easy to get rich, and the box of gold bricks in the cave was worth hundreds of millions. What's more, there is also Xiao Shijie and Xiao Guang who can trade in space. During this time, Wang Yong didn't bother to think about Xiao Shijie, and kept thinking that it didn't exist. And if Xiaoguang has nothing to do, he will ignore it. Because it's really unnecessary, Wang Yong is not an ambitious person, and what is not good to say is that he is not self-motivated. As long as there is no shortage of money to spend, food and drink, why be busy all day long.
"Wang Yong is back?" Uncle's voice came from outside. Then the uncle came in from outside, followed by a man. The man looked to be in his seventies, and the traces of time had crawled all over his old face. A T-shirt printed with 'so-and-so feed' on the upper body, a pair of black pants on the bottom, a pair of cloth shoes stained with mud on the feet, and a straight waist.
"It's Dad here, do it in the house, don't you all go to the village chief's house to discuss things? Done discussing? Auntie hurriedly greeted.
"Well, it's over. Let the sea tell you about this. ”
"Second master? When did you get back? Wang Yong hurriedly stood up and greeted the second master excitedly.
"Hehe, isn't this a surprise for you? Your second master came back at noon today. Auntie said with a smile on the side.
The second grandfather Wang Guoliang and Wang Yong's grandfather Wang Guodong are brothers, Wang Yong's grandfather and the second grandfather both joined the army at the beginning of 45 years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and caught up with the tail of the War of Resistance against Japan. After that, he was a veteran who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 51 years. After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Yong's grandfather retired from the army due to injuries and returned to the village. It didn't take long for me to get married to my grandmother, and then I had four children: uncle, aunt, father, and aunt. And the second master stayed in the army, and was promoted because of his merits, what kind of official it is, except for Grandpa Wang Yong, no one in the village knows. Some say it's the company commander, some say it's the battalion commander, and some say it's the regiment commander...... They all have their own reasons, the most important thing is that the second master has been a company commander for two years before going to North Korea. There is also reason to say that when Wang Yong's grandfather went home, the discharge certificate was the commander of a certain battalion, and Wang Yong's grandfather was the battalion commander, so how could the second master who had made great contributions have a small official position.
Later, in the later period of the Great Revolution, the second master returned to the village with the second grandmother. After getting drunk with their grandfather, the two of them made a home in the village. What was the reason for the second master to suddenly return to the village? Weishenme's second grandfather and second grandmother have no offspring in their lives? Because grandpa and second grandpa and second grandma never told anyone, no one knew. It's just that the grandfather told the uncle, the father, the aunt and the aunt to pass on the uncle to the second master, so the uncle and aunt kept calling the second grandfather father. Wang Qiang and his sister Wang Han called the second master grandpa. The second master has always disagreed, for so many years, the old couple have lived by themselves, and they never want to trouble the younger generations. But the second grandfather and second grandmother really love Wang Qiang and Wang Yong's grandchildren, especially like Wang Liang who grew up in the second grandfather's house when he was a child.
Wang Yong's grandfather died the year after Wang Yong's younger brother Wang Liang was born, and less than half a year later, his grandmother also passed away. That year, the second master became the village party secretary, and then worked until he retired. After retiring, if there is something in the village, everyone is still willing to talk to the second master and listen to his old man's opinion. After the death of Wang Yong's parents, Wang Yong and Wang Liang basically became the hearts of the second elder.
"Second master, don't say a word when you come back, I'll pick you up. Now your grandson is in a car. You haven't done it yet, I'll take you and your second wife out for a walk another day. Wang Yong looked at the second master's still strong body and said happily, you must know that the second master is 82 years old this year. When I first came back, I heard that the old couple could climb to the top of the mountain together, Wang Yong was still a little skeptical, but he believed it when he saw the second master today. Those who don't know this body must think that they are fifty or sixty years old.
"You kid still said me, didn't you tell me when you came back?" The second master looked at Wang Yong kindly.
"Didn't I want to surprise you?"
"Still surprised? I was left with surprise, didn't you see your second grandmother listen to Wang Qiang say about you, worried about coming back soon, and then Wang Qiang said that you didn't go out, and planned to do something at home, thinking that you would be able to see it from time to time when you were around in the future, so you didn't come back. I wanted to call you, knowing your stinky temper of reporting good news and not bad news, and I couldn't ask anything, so I didn't call you. The second master looked at Wang Yong with a worried face, the old man watched Wang Yong grow up, and he knew what kind of temperament he had. is afraid that his grandson will not say anything, and he will not be able to get out of the horns. That's why I came back in advance to take a look, or I really didn't feel at ease. Having said that, Wang Yong's stinky problem is still learned by himself!
"Second master, don't worry, I'm fine. You see, now the uncle helps me decorate the old house, I also built two greenhouses on the mountain, and I am also going to raise some chickens and ducks, and I have to talk about a few ponds to raise fish, by the way, I also buy a car, of course, the car money is my brother to pad. You say, I'm so busy, what can I not think of? Wang Yong hurriedly explained.
It's okay, what's the matter, just tell your family, don't keep it in your own heart. The second master said.
