It's the New Year, and you always have to be happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the road construction made Wang Zheng's family a little difficult, it could not be stopped because of this incident.

In addition, in addition to encountering some problems in building roads, another good deed that the Wang family did to the people of Taohualing Village was relatively smooth.

Wang Xiangzhong planned to build a primary school in Taohualing Village in September, and then mentioned it to Cao Hongqing. On the evening of the 30th day of the lunar month, when the Wang family was having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Cao Hongqing called, saying that all the procedures for building a primary school in Taohualing Village had been completed, and then in the first month of next year, let Wang Xiangzhong see that the work could be started.

This can be regarded as a thing worthy of the joy of the Wang family.

After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Xiangzhong took Wang Zheng to Cui Cripple's house in the village.

Three years ago, Cui Cripple was a well-known old bachelor in the village, and his family was so poor that there was nothing in the house except for the dowry brought by his old mother when she got married. Then in the past two years, Cui Cripple followed the Wang family's company and worked with everyone in the Wang family's apple orchard, earning a lot of money. Now, his family has not only built five tiled houses, but also bought a batch of brand-new furniture for the Chinese New Year this year, all of which were custom-made from the Ruixiang Furniture Factory in the township, and spent more than 5,000 yuan.

Wang Zheng heard from his mother that Cui Cripple and a little widow in the neighboring village are getting along very well now, and maybe they will eat candy next year. The woman's Wang Zheng had seen it before, and she had a good figure, but she hadn't seen it on the front.

"Is Old Cui at home?"

Wang Xiangzhong knocked on the red lacquered door of Cui Cripple's house and shouted inside.

The gate of Cui Cripple's house is very new, the door is open, and there is a wooden stick under the gate.

During the Chinese New Year, in central Luzhong, some people have a wooden stick in front of their homes, while others don't. This is exquisite, this family with a wooden stick horizontally, indicating that the ancestral tablet is enshrined in the family, and there is no enshrinement if it is not placed.

This stick is called the dog beating stick.

Originally, the common people were poor, and there were poor people begging everywhere, and then during the Chinese New Year, they couldn't get back to their hometowns, so they went to other places. Then, when they see a wooden stick in front of the house during the Chinese New Year, they can go to this house to beg. Some people have dogs, and for fear of hurting the people who ask for food, they put wooden sticks so that the begging people can hold and beat the dogs. That's why it's called the dog stick.

However, now that there are fewer people begging, the stick has lost its original meaning, but this custom has been preserved. Then, during the Chinese New Year, when the children in the village see a wooden stick in front of the door, they will go to this house to kowtow to the ancestor of the family, and the owner of the house will happily bring out candy for the children to eat. Even if the conditions are good, they will give some New Year's money or something.

Wang Xiangzhong shouted, and then heard Cui Cripple's voice from inside, and after a while, a woman who was quite tall, with a meter of six or eight, led a little girl of three or four years old, and walked out.

"Are you looking for Brother Cui?"

The woman's voice was a little low, and she looked a little shy. And the little girl she was leading was even more shy to hide behind her, carefully showing her head to look at Wang Xiangzhong's father and son.

Looking at the little girl's appearance, Wang Zheng guessed that this must be the mother. The little girl is very cute, with big watery eyes. And her mother is also very dignified and delicate. As soon as he looked at his figure, Wang Zheng immediately thought that this woman must be the woman led by Cui Cripple who he saw by the Nanhe River that day.

Wang Xiangzhong was also surprised, and then said with a smile: "You are Xiao Qiu, right?" I'm Wang Xiangzhong. ”

It turned out that the child's surname was Qiu, and the father must have known the surname of the person Cui Cripple was Qiu, but he shouldn't have met before, otherwise his father wouldn't have asked like this.

When Xiao Qiu heard this, he hurriedly said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be Mr. Wang, come in, this is Wang Zheng, Xiao Min quickly call uncle and brother." ”

Xiao Qiu pulled her daughter to the front, but her daughter held her mother's leg and refused to come to the front.

"Brother Cui, Mr. Wang is here."

Then, Xiao Qiu glanced down at his daughter and said angrily: "This child is unproductive and can't see the world." ”

It is estimated that the child was a little frightened by his mother, and he hurriedly poked his head out timidly and looked at Wang Zheng timidly and called out his brother, but did not speak to Wang Xiangzhong.

"Mr. Wang, Wang Zheng, let's go inside and talk, it's cold outside."

With that, Xiao Qiu took Wang Xiangzhong and his son to the house of Cui Cripple's house.

The five tiled houses newly built by Cui Cripple's family are similar to the overall layout of Wang Zheng's house, with the front and back of the building, the three rooms on the east side are the main house, and the living room is arranged in the main house.

As soon as Wang Xiangzhong's father and son entered the house, they saw Cui Cripple limping up, wiping his hands, and said, "I'm in the fried vegetable box, Mr. Wang, why are you here?" ”

After entering the house, Xiao Qiu probably went to the back room to get candy for Wang Zheng to eat, and then Wang Xiangzhong nodded at Xiao Qiu who walked to the back room, pointed at Cui Cripple and said, "You guy, why don't you say it in advance, I have a good expression." ”

Cui lame scratched his head with a smile, and then leaned forward and whispered: "I haven't received the certificate for a few days, and I will have a happy event after the New Year." ”

Wang Zheng whispered: "Uncle Cui, Aunt Xiao Qiu is so beautiful." ”

When Cui lame heard this, he said with a busy face: "In the future, you can't call Aunt Xiaoqiu, you should call Aunt Xiao." ”

Wang Zheng hurriedly slapped his mouth and said, "Yes, yes, auntie, aunt!" ”

Then, he shouted at Xiao Qiu in the back room: "Auntie, don't be busy, my father and I will say a few words to Uncle Cui and leave." ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Xiao Qiu was very diligent, and after a while, he brought a plate of melon seeds, sugar, and a plate of fruits, and placed them on the brand-new coffee table. In addition, after putting down two plates of food, Xiao Qiu hurriedly went to make tea and flush water, and it could be seen that Xiao Qiu was very diligent.

After Wang Zheng and his son sat down, Wang Xiangzhong said bluntly: "What, I plan to build a primary school in our village after the New Year, Lao Cui, you can show you a date, when is the right time to start construction." ”

When Xiao Qiu on the side heard this, he bent his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you are really a good person, and you don't forget the people when you have money." ”

Wang Xiangzhong was put on a high hat by Xiao Qiu, and said happily: "Isn't it convenient for everyone." ”

"Okay, Mr. Wang, this is a good thing, is it built on the side of the Nanhe vegetable garden?" Because Wang Xiangzhong had mentioned this matter to Cui Cripple before, he also knew some about the situation.

"Yes, it's set over there, but I haven't discussed this matter with Brother Huanchang yet."

Cui lame said with a smile: "As long as you make a decision on this matter, Mr. Wang, Ma Huanchang will definitely not be able to stop it." Okay, Mr. Wang, wait a minute, I'll go see the old yellow calendar. ”

After a while, Cui Cripple came out of the back room, looked at Wang Xiangzhong with a smile and said, "Mr. Wang, the eighth day of the first month is a good day, and it is suitable for building a school." ”

Wang Xiangzhong slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Then break ground on the eighth day of the first lunar month!" (To be continued.) )
