What does it mean to work?

In short, it's about building roads. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info build a road from the county seat of Beiyuan to the four villages and eight townships. In the beginning, it was built from the county road. For example, Ma Erdong, the reason why he was able to get acquainted with Gui Gardenia was because he worked in Beiyuan County. If you work in the county town, you can not only take care of food and housing, but also receive five yuan. This is a great thing for the people of the northern plains during the slack period. Therefore, when the news was released, many young and middle-aged laborers in Beiyuan who had no family obstacles flocked to the county seat in large numbers. The county can't carry so much labor, what should I do? The county magistrate waved his hand: The township highway should be connected to every village, so go home and repair it!

This time I went home to repair the road, and the village chief said that this is for the benefit of the future generations of Beiyuan, and his sons and grandchildren are all going to benefit, so every old and young master of Beiyuan must take it seriously with the spirit of twelve. And each household must contribute a labor force, and when the construction period is completed, each family will be subsidized by the state for lost work and labor costs. Young men are fifty and women are forty.

The mobilization of the village chief made the old and young masters of Dage Village enthusiastic, and in front of their eyes, there seemed to be a beautiful picture of their children and grandchildren benefiting. Of course, what makes them most greedy and excited is the real banknotes - dozens of dollars.

Many villages in Beiyuan County are the same as the people of Dage Village, and their material needs are so low that they can't be lower. They are self-sufficient in almost all of their life needs. This allows them to be content with a peaceful life without savings for the most part. The output of the family is kept for personal use, and only a few are taken out in exchange for some money. The ancient rules of life have been meticulously followed and interpreted in this paradise isolated by countless major mountains.

However, the role of money has not failed in Taoyuan. Almost every person in the northern plains wants to live a better life, such as eating better and dressing better. And the realization of all this is inseparable from the strips of paper full of patterns - banknotes.

And the coincidence that Chen Blind said happened when he was working. Soon after Ma Erdong was recalled by Mrs. Ma's message, the township road began to be repaired in full swing. The people who worked in the county town all returned to their homes. One of them is from Baiping Township. Chen Blind walks the streets and alleys every year, and goes to many places in the four miles and eight towns. What high mountains and valleys, black wind and valleys are measured under his feet. Naturally, Baiping Township, not far from Dage Village, is also a problem.

In those days, information was very blocked due to transportation. So there will be such a situation, if a daughter marries into a family thirty or forty miles away, it is difficult for the parents to know the daughter's situation. Except for the occasional distressed daughter's mother, who visits once or twice during the farm slack. But this is still not the whole picture. After the mother left, the woman who should have been tormented continued to suffer. There was once such an incident in the high mountain valley, a man married a mother-in-law from Baiping Township, but the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law had discordant personalities, and the two had a quarrel. The grumpy man came home and saw the old lady lying on the bed who kept humming and shouting that he didn't want to live, and he was angry and angry, and rushed back to the house to beat the mother-in-law who was chopping pigweed half to death. The mother-in-law was beaten half dead while lying on the bed, and no one cared about her at home for two or three days. Within a few days, he died of a high fever. The man's original intention was to teach his mother-in-law a lesson, but he didn't expect that his mother-in-law would die so easily. He regretted it and hurriedly ran over to invite his mother-in-law to attend the funeral. When the mother-in-law arrived, the woman had already sealed the coffin, saying that it was hot in summer and she was afraid of insect bites. The mother-in-law was not suspicious because her son-in-law was still filial on weekdays, thinking that her girl Fubo died of a high fever, and hurried home after participating in the funeral. Originally, it was good to hide this from their family next to them. Later, it was the old man in the coffin who inadvertently confided in him after a drunken time, saying that the woman's face was so injured when she died that her eyes were round and she refused to close them.

"It's death without blinking your eyes~" The old man smacked his lips and sighed.

But by the time this matter reached the ears of the old couple in Baiping Township, several years had passed. The old couple was indignant after hearing this, and the more they thought about it, the more suspicious they felt, according to reason, even if it was hot, they should not be denied the old couple to see the last side of the child! So, the old man took his two sons and more than a dozen descendants in the family to go over more than a dozen mountains and high valleys in a day to make trouble at his son-in-law's house. The son-in-law's mother turned her mouth and denied it, saying that these were all made up by the old man who drank too much urine, and swore that if he didn't believe it, he could open the coffin for an autopsy. Seeing the old woman's promise, a group of people were stunned. The old man is a dead man's business, and it is a fact that everyone knows that he loves to drink two sips. At this time, it has been a few years since the girl's death, and the people in the coffin have long been unable to know whether they have become white bones or a piece of loess. And, in the hearts of many people in the northern plains, it is extremely bad to open the coffin and dig the grave, the girl has been buried in the ground, is it now that his own son and brothers still have to dig her out and toss her? Thinking about it this way, the anger of the group of people was suppressed, and they had to curse all the way back.

Although the old woman pretended to be indifferent, her son could not be at ease. After all, the daughter-in-law was almost killed by her own hands. He dreamed almost every night that his daughter-in-law came to him with a disheveled hair and asked for his life. After a long time, this man with an extremely strong body became ill. It didn't take long for him to die. The man's death was very strange, he strangled himself by his neck in the middle of the night. As soon as her son died, the old woman went crazy and ran around like crazy every day. As a result, those who know say that God is unhappy to open his eyes.

Although God has done justice. But after this incident spread, the bad concept of the people in the high mountains and valleys has become the consensus of many people in the northern plains, and this consensus directly or indirectly backs up to the high mountains and valleys. That is, for a long, long time, the young man of the right age in the mountains and valleys could not please his mother-in-law. Usually as soon as the matchmaker says that the young man is in a high mountain valley, the family will very unceremoniously push the matchmaker out of the door and slam the door mercilessly to send off the guest. However, the high terrain and poor soil in the high mountains and valleys make life much more difficult than in other places. Many mountain girls are willing to marry down the mountain rather than stay in the local area. In this way, there are more male singles in the high mountains and valleys. Later, this caused a unique phenomenon - nine of the ten mountain men were Shangmenlang. Of course, that's another story.
