Chapter 628: Why
As soon as Zhang Shuhua came in with a big belly, Zhang Cuiyun scolded with a smile: "You little girl, are you itchy and dare to eavesdrop?" ”
"Eldest sister, you have to speak with your conscience, this time, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly blushed, Zhang Cuiyun was stunned, and with Zhang Shuhua's gaze at Wang Shihua, he thought about it for a while, and laughed: According to the rules set by Zhang Cuiyun at the beginning, Wang Shihua must go to sleep with her except for the fifteenth day of the new year, and the rest of the time, Wang Shihua takes turns to sleep in everyone's room. Now, Zhang Shuhua is still so anxious with a big belly, who is Zhang Cuiyun laughing at if she doesn't laugh?
"Eldest sister, I just came from my mother's house and wanted to chat with you, but I didn't want to hear your conversation."
Explanation is equivalent to covering up, Zhang Cuiyun smiled more cheerfully, and even smiled a little embarrassed with Wang Shihua, and when he received Zhang Shuhua's gaze, he could only hold back his smile, and helped Zhang Shuhua to sit down and asked: "Okay, Shuhua, tell me, why do the people donate so much?" ”
"The reasons for this, such as the hatred of the people against the descendants of the Japanese Invaders, are only small, and there are two real reasons. First, your prestige is high, and everyone trusts you. Just like my father said, now, as long as you say a word, let you beat whomever you want, everyone will beat whomever you want, and you will never ask the reason, just because you are the reincarnation of the eight great gods, what you say and what you do is God's will, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong, so when everyone hears that you want to raise donations, they all think that this is because you are not good at apportionment, and you make a request tactfully, so everyone will try to donate money and materials; Second, our Wang family is now rich and strong, and everyone can eat rice at once. Everyone is grateful to you, but they don't know how to express it, this is the first time you have mobilized everyone to raise donations, and everyone just wants to express their gratitude to you. Of course, there is another point, which is the heart of comparison. ”
"The heart of comparison?" The first two are easy to understand, but the latter words make Wang Shihua a little confused.
"According to my father, he originally only donated ten yuan, but later I heard that the neighbors either donated ten yuan or donated hundreds of catties of rice, and my father felt that he was your father-in-law, and he wanted to have as much as others, wouldn't it be a loss of face for everyone, and he hurriedly donated another twenty yuan. But as soon as Dr. Liu's family across the street heard that my father had donated 30 yuan, which was 10 yuan more than him, they felt that their family was deeply favored by you, and it was less than that of the neighbors. When the neighbors heard that both of them had donated so much, they felt embarrassed and hurried to ...... As a result, everyone compares with each other, and the voluntary donation has developed into a face-saving problem, and it is difficult to think of donating more. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Shuhua said with a smile: "Master, if you don't believe it, just wait and see, now it's just a comparison between the neighbors in the town, and tomorrow, the humanity of each village, they will not only compare within the village, but also between villages and villages." ”
Wang Shihua thought for a while and shouted to the outside world: "Dog, go and bring all the account books for today's donations." ”
Soon, the account book was brought in, opened and looked, and sure enough, as Zhang Shuhua said, many people's names were changed again and again: from a few oceans at the beginning to ten, and then to twenty, and even, the number of donations under some people's names was four or five times in a row. Wang Shihua didn't know whether to be grateful for the love of the people, or to scold the people for this style of comparison. However, there is one thing that Wang Shihua is very proud of: under his leadership, the people are indeed rich. Otherwise, even if everyone has the heart to compare, they will not be able to donate so much. Think about a few years ago, when I first took over the position of head of the family, some people couldn't even afford to wear shabby clothes at home, and they had to make temporary straw clothes when they rushed to the market. Especially the woman at that time, in the face of her two children begging to eat a few oil poop, she was very reluctant, which shows how poor she is. Look at the present, during the New Year's holidays, the people in the town are all new clothes, and they have to be good clothes. The problem of eating is even more different from what it used to be, and if you have a meal of rice, you can have a friend, and you can also invite the other party to the restaurant with confidence...... What is wealth, this is. And isn't this the grand wish that Wang Shihua made when he took over as the head of the family?
……
Early the next morning, Wang Shihua invited the county magistrate to have breakfast with the inner scroll. The nurses and maids serve the children to eat at another table, and the adults eat at this table, but some of the children are naughty, and from time to time they run over to eat and drink, anyway, it is a mess, but it is also lively, showing the harmony in the palace. Fortunately, County Magistrate Fang didn't eat and drink at Wang's house once or twice, everyone knew each other very well, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about, I didn't see Wang Shihua and Fang Jue chatting and dealing with the little kids who ran over.
The two of them were not thinking about eating and drinking at all. Fang Jue was anxious to make sure that the first batch of materials would be shipped as soon as possible, and he had to be one of the people who took the lead in transporting them. The excuse is very simple: although it is only spring and the weather is still a little cold, eggs and other things are not easy to store for a long time, so it is better to send them to the front line as soon as possible. But for Wang Shihua: he also wants to be the one who escorts the first batch of supplies, but at the same time, he has to continue to raise donations here, and he is leaving, for fear of affecting the fundraising situation in the future, so he wants to wait a few days. The two cannot be unified in this departure time, the key is that the leader of the first batch of escorts is of extraordinary significance.
At this moment, Wang Jiping came.
"Second uncle, don't you always talk about staying in Wangjiaping for a few more days, why did you come so soon?"
"Hearing the news of your fundraising, the second uncle was a little relieved, so he came to take a look."
When Fang Jue on the side heard this, he asked with a smile: "Second master, how much have you donated?" ”
"I thought a donation of 1,000 would be enough. But when I got to Shoucheng, I heard that everyone was so positive, although I was poor, but this was initiated by Shihua himself, I want to lose face, wouldn't I want the whole clan to poke my backbone? He donated three thousand oceans. Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Shihua and asked with a smile, "Shihua, is it enough?" If it's not enough, I'll have another five thousand sent. ”
It's really as Zhang Shuhua analyzed!
"Second uncle, enough, enough."
"Shihua, I'm here, I still have something I want to discuss with you."
"Second uncle, you speak."
"I won't rob you of the escort of this first batch of supplies, but you have to hand over the rest to me."
Seeing Wang Shihua smiled faintly and remained silent. Wang Jiping hurriedly assured: "Shihua, such a big event, I will never dare to deceive and humiliate myself...... If anyone dares to attack the idea of this batch of supplies, I will never agree. ”
explained a lot, but seeing that Wang Shihua was always smiling and silent, Wang Jiping was anxious and said, "I'll tell you the truth." Shihua, I'm old, and I don't think I'll be active for a few years, and I've heard from businessmen in the past that the devil is now in the waning days, and there are not a few days to live. I thought that while I could still walk a few steps now, I would gain a good reputation for myself, and after I died, I would engrave a sentence on the tablet 'personally escort supplies to support the front line in order to fight devils', and I would be able to smile at Jiuquan. Shihua, I'm not thinking too much, right? You have to fulfill me. ”
Get! This is also the same as Fang Jue, Fang Jue is fishing for political achievements, and he is for fame. It's just that he even said his posthumous reputation bluntly, and Wang Shihua couldn't refuse if he wanted to, so he could only smile and say: "Okay, second uncle, I'll leave the rest to you." ”
"Good! Good! Good! Wang Jiping smiled contentedly, and then took the bowl from the maid's hand and began to eat and drink heavily.
"Shihua, you have agreed so happily to the second master's affairs, don't worry about my affairs."
"I'm fine, but I'll have to wait a few days."
"If you send a batch of rotten eggs over, aren't you afraid that the soldiers on the front line will scold you?"
Wang Shihua was about to open his mouth, but unexpectedly, Wang Jiping, who was drinking, put down his wine glass and asked, "Shihua, are you discussing?" ”
Wang Shihua could only say the points of contention between the two.
Wang Jiping naturally wanted to face the Wang family, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "County Magistrate Fang, the problem of eggs is easy to solve." ”
Wang Shihua immediately smiled and asked, "Second uncle, do you have any solutions?" ”
"I estimate that it will take ten days to transport materials from us to the front line at the earliest, but I remember that Shifu also received an order that many planes would take off from him to fight devils on the front line. Shihua, anyway, we have to support the front line, why don't we send eggs and other perishable things to Shifu first? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to send the ones that are not easily spoiled to the front line? ”
Wang Shihua, who was listening, slapped his thigh, ignored Fang Jue, who rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, you are still old and wise...... Come, I toast you. ”
After breakfast, Wang Shihua sent a telegram to Wang Shifu and asked him to greet him in person, and it was best to have a handover ceremony.
More than 2,000 eggs, 500 catties of bacon, 30,000 oceans (border tickets)...... Send it over in one go. Wang Shifu was so moved that he almost shed tears on the spot, thanked his old family for their deep affection, and slapped his chest with a "dong dong", saying that even if he lost his life, he would repay the love of the people.
Longtang Town is an important economic town, and the people rarely raise chickens, so there are only more than 2,000 eggs. But every household in the village raises chickens, and donating eggs is also a face-saving thing, so with the arrival of donations from each village of the Wang family, the number of eggs immediately doubled, and the highest day received more than 11,000 eggs. In order to prevent the eggs from spoiling, Wang Shihua naturally sent all the eggs he got to Wang Shifu.
At the beginning, the soldiers were very enthusiastic about eggs, but they could eat eggs for meals, although they were all cooked in fried oil with flowers, but no matter how they changed, they couldn't do without the word "eggs", and they couldn't stand it for more than ten days, and they gave Wang Shifu advice "Commander!" Now everyone wants to vomit when they see eggs, can you change the food a little? Even if you eat bran vegetables, it is better than eating eggs...... "When Wang Shifu heard it, he immediately became angry, "Dog's day, now the national economy is so tight, many people can't even afford to eat, that is, Lao Tzu's old family, for Lao Tzu's face, will support us with food and clothing." What's the matter, you're all uncles now? Eating something as good as eggs, dare to have an opinion? Get out of here! If you dare to mention this matter to Lao Tzu again, military law will be engaged! ”
After sending the soldiers, Wang Shifu turned around and sent a telegram to Wang Shihua, begging, "Brother! My dear brother! Please, don't send me so many eggs every day, okay? Even if you want to send it, you can add something else. Don't you know, I feel the urge to pull out a gun and kill someone when I see an egg now......"
As a result, Wang Shihua called back with one word - get out! Then, like flowing water, the eggs are still sent to Phoenix Airport every day. In the end, it was the adjutant who gave Wang Shifu an idea: if you can't finish eating, you can sell it secretly in exchange for other food, but unexpectedly, the price of eggs in Fenghuang County immediately plummeted......
At this time, Wang Shihua was also scolding his mother......
