Chapter 64:-for-tat
At the end of 1982, on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Hailiang naturally became the village chief of Pimple Slope and took the first step in the www.biquge.info of his life.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the people in the village want to improve their food, waking up in the morning with meat and noodles, and rice at noon. As soon as lunch is over, every family has to prepare dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve. This is also the most pleasant and joyful time of the year for the villagers.
Facing the yellow earth with their backs to the sky, they have worked hard for a year, that is, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone feels that a year's hard work has not been in vain, and making dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is their due reward.
There are many taboos in Daliangshan for the New Year, especially to avoid mouth, that is, you can't talk nonsense during the New Year. Like finished, dead, unlucky, these words can't be said.
After the dumplings are wrapped, people always stretch their waists and say, oops, finally wrapped. No one ever said, "Oh, it's finally over my end."
As soon as the swear words come out, the adult next to you will knock you on the head with a rolling pin, scold you for being unobtrusive, and spit on the ground a few times to take back the swear words.
The next day is the first day of the new year, and when you get up in the morning, you should burn a pile of firewood in the yard, and the more the fire burns, the better, because firewood is a symbol of wealth.
And there is also a wooden pole at the door, and the wooden pole is also said, called a lazy stick.
The people of Daliangshan always put on new clothes before dawn and walked the streets and alleys to greet the elders, and when they walked into the elders' homes, the first thing they put was the lazy stick.
If you accidentally trip over a lazy stick, the people next to you will laugh at him for being a big lazy man.
The New Year's greeting is not lit on the first day of the New Year, which is the rule handed down by Daliang Mountain for thousands of years, and the New Year's greeting is for the juniors to send blessings to the elders, wishing them good health and all the best.
When a head knocks down, the juniors often get a red envelope, and the elders will smile and stuff the red envelopes that have been prepared into the hands of the juniors, and the red envelopes are filled with New Year's money.
Therefore, the Chinese New Year is often the most anticipated time for children, because they can not only eat good food, wear new clothes, but also get New Year's money. New Year's money can be exchanged for a lot of snacks.
Wang Hailiang and Yuzhu are newlywed couples, as elders, Wang Qingxiang and Hailiang Niang have prepared a big red envelope for them.
When the rooster crowed for the third time, Wang Hailiang and Yuzhu got dressed, and the two of them tossed for another night, but they were still in good spirits.
The two walked into the second elder's room hand in hand, and kowtowed when they entered the door.
Yuzhu said: "Father, mother, daughter-in-law has given you a New Year's greeting, I wish you a second old age today, and a good year." ”
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was so sensible, Hai Liangniang hurriedly came over to help. Wang Qingxiang blushed and said, "Get up, what's the politeness of the family?" The ground is dirty. ”
Hailiang Niang stuffed the red envelope into Yuzhu's hand, but Yuzhu dodged and refused to take it, saying, "Mother, I'm too old, I don't want this." ”
Hai Liang Niang smiled and said: "Be obedient, take it, Hai Liang's share will also belong to you, take it to buy some delicious food, it is a part of my mother's heart." ”
Yuzhu accepted it with a red face and red ears.
After eating the dumplings on the first day of the new year, the sky was still dark, Hailiang took Yuzhu's hand, and the first thing he wanted to go to was Zhang Damao's house.
He wants to give Zhang Damao a New Year's greeting, and yesterday he robbed Zhang Damao of the power of the village chief, Zhang Damao's heart must not be a taste, and he can't make him hold a grudge.
No matter what grievances there are between them, if they knock their heads down, a year's grievances will be paid off. Wang Hailiang is a slap to a sweet date.
But what made him feel strange was that Zhang Damao's house was closed and bolted, the door was not opened, and the inside was also black.
Zhang Damao's mood has been very bad recently, and his daughter Erya died last year and fell into the Valley of Ghosts.
He was shot with an arrow in the back, and he became three eyes, and the pain was unbearable.
At noon yesterday, the position of his village chief was snatched away by Wang Hailiang again.
He felt that all the bad things in his life had fallen on his head, and he was not only angry with Wang Hailiang, but even angry with everyone in the village.
What year did it take? It's just dead, so he plans to close the door.
The Chinese New Year's Eve meal was very unpleasant, and he felt that the dumplings had no taste at all, like chewing wax.
The sound of firecrackers and the noise of children came from outside, and every family was having a reunion dinner, but Zhang Damao's home was deserted.
Picking up the bowl, he remembered his daughter Erya, if Erya was still alive, the atmosphere at home would be different, and unconsciously two lines of tears flowed to his cheeks.
Erya, girl, are you dead or alive? Why don't you see people alive or dead? If you have a spirit in the sky, just drag a dream with your father, and your father is sorry for you!
Zhang Damao put down the bowl and cried all night, and his woman, Da Baili, also accompanied him to shed tears all night.
The first day of the new year is noisy, and the young couple on the second day of the new year often have to go back to their parents' homes to pay New Year's greetings to their father-in-law and mother-in-law.
When I get up on the morning of the third day of the new year, I want to go to the grave to worship my ancestors. On the fourth day of the new year, the villagers were idle for a day, and some people were already carrying hoes and preparing to weed in the fields.
Besides, the spring will be played a year ago, and the dealers in the field have returned to green.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the news of Wang Hailiang's appointment as the village chief was like a sudden wind, which quickly spread all over the corners of the pimple slope.
Many people are not convinced, thinking that Wang Hailiang's milk smell has not dried up, and the fetal hair has not retreated, why can he be the village head?
The first one who was not convinced was Brother Da Ram.
In fact, Da Tam has also coveted the position of the village chief for a long time, and he has a common enmity with Zhang Damao.
The hatred in the world, in addition to the hatred of killing the father, is the hatred of taking the wife. Zhang Damao slept with his daughter-in-law and sowed a seed in Xifeng's belly, which made Brother Da Ram angry.
He had long wanted to seize the position of village chief Zhang Damao and make his family ruined.
But before he could start, Wang Hailiang took a step ahead and copied his back road.
Da Tam is annoyed, Lao Tzu is older than you, has more experience than you, and has rich experience, why listen to you a hairy child yelling at five and six?
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Da Tam summoned the villagers of every household and held a meeting at the team headquarters to discuss Wang Hailiang's appointment as the village head.
At the conference, Da Tam and Hailiang confronted each other: "Hailiang, I'm not convinced, what ability do you have to be the village head?" I'm better than you, so the village chief should be me. ”
Wang Hailiang said: "Brother Da Tam, you really can't do it, it's not that I underestimate you, you are too reckless to do things, you have no brains, you have momentum, but you don't care about any consequences, so the villagers will suffer." ”
Da Tam said angrily: "I don't believe that you are better than me? What do you have to make the people in the village rich? ”
Hailiang said: "Brother Da Tam, I already have a comprehensive plan, which is to develop the handicraft industry in the village first, weave willow frames, collect medicinal materials, buy mountain fruits, and transport all these things out of the mountain.
And I've already contacted a few sellers, and after the New Year, they'll buy them on the national highway outside the mountains, and the people in the village will soon get rich. ”
Da ramming said: "! The wall is good at painting horses and can't ride, the baked cakes in the mirror can't satisfy hunger, is there a road in the mountains? Without roads, how can these mountain fruits, medicinal herbs, and weaving be transported out of the mountains? How can you turn money if you can't get out of the mountains? ”
Hailiang smiled slightly: "Brother Da Tam, hens don't urinate, they have their own convenience, of course I have a way to transport these things out of the mountains." And don't worry, I will try my best to build a road out of the village. ”
Da Ram also sneered: "Build roads? It's up to you? Do you have what it takes? Do you know how much it costs to build a road? Where do you get the money? ”
Hailiang said: "I will find a way, and after the road is built, I will open a factory, run a business, let the village be lit up, everyone will watch TV, ride motorcycles, and all the people's pockets will be bulging...... Ten years, you give me ten years, I can do all this. ”
Da Tam smiled bitterly: "The mantis arm is a car, and it is not self-sufficient!" There are so many cliffs in Daliang Mountain, granite is harder than pig iron, there is no road at all, I see how you gnaw it? ”
Wang Hailiang, who has just become the head of the village, has a sky-high heroism, and he wants to change the fate of everyone in Daliang Mountain.
For the dead Erya, for the daughter-in-law Yuzhu, for the father, and for his own future, earn more money and become a human being.
He wants to make his wish come true step by step. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and he had a long way to go.
The rest of the villagers sat in a circle, and no one spoke. Watching the two young men pinch each other.
The old people know that this is the world of young people, and neither the body nor the mind can compete with the young people, so they choose to remain silent.
Pimple Po also has a fight with Hailiang, and the hopes of the two families are also pinned on them.
After a long silence, Da Tam extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "No! I'm still not convinced. You can't do this village chief! ”
Wang Hailiang asked: "Then how can you be convinced?" How can I convince you? ”
Da Tam said: "You do one thing first, let me convince me, I will support you, otherwise you are delusional!" ”
Wang Hailiang smiled and said, "Brother Da Tam, I'll do something tonight to convince you, do you believe it?" ”
Da rammed his eyes and said, "I don't believe it! What do you want to do? ”
Wang Hailiang smiled mysteriously and said, "Tonight, if I don't enter your door, I can draw a circle with a brush on your daughter-in-law's buttocks, do you believe it?" ”
When a sentence was spoken, everyone burst into laughter, and Da Gong's face turned red to the root of his ears.
He also got into a fight with Wang Hailiang and said, "I don't believe it! Do you have the ability, can you try to draw a circle on my daughter-in-law's ass? If you really don't enter my house and draw a circle on Xifeng's ass, I will definitely not rob you of the position of the village chief. ”
Wang Hailiang said: "Okay, then if I paint it, don't break your word." ”
Da Tam said: "Don't worry, I will check my wife's body tomorrow morning, if there is no circle on Xifeng's ass, you will immediately get off the stage for me!" ”
Wang Hailiang said: "Okay, a word is decided, tomorrow morning, see you under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village." Let's gentleman. ”
Brother Da Ram said: "Hurry up!" ”
In this way, two people high-fived as an oath, all the crowds testified, and the men, women, and children of the whole village waited to see the rarity.
