034 The silver is yours, and the barren mountains are mine
As the old village chief spoke, he formally straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Yao Runzhi, "Mr. Yao, the life and death of Yangjiatun is up to you." ”
Yao Runzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the old village chief Yang, and said a little hurriedly, "Old village chief, you are dedicated to the public, and everything you do is for our Yangjiatun villagers to avoid the suffering of labor and protect the young people in the clan, why blame yourself so much, Runzhi, I ......"
Old Village Chief Yang waved his hand, interrupting Yao Runzhi's persuasion and shirk, he held Yao Runzhi's hand tightly, and with a force, he held it high, "I acted biasedly, and automatically gave up the position of the patriarch, and I was no longer qualified to point fingers at the things in the clan." However, at this time, it is the biggest difficulty in our Yangjiatun in the past 100 years, I believe that Mr. Yao will be able to lead everyone through the difficulty, please believe in him and support him! ”
After speaking, the old village chief Yang clasped his fists with both hands and bowed deeply to the villagers. After that, he didn't say much, staggered around, and walked towards the main house, where there was the third uncle who was angry with him, who had watched him grow up since he was a child, and recommended him as the patriarch of Yangjiatun despite public opinion. The third uncle is his spiritual support, and he wants to talk about his self-blame, embarrassment and grievances, hoping to get the old man's understanding and forgiveness.
The old village chief Yang turned around and walked away with a gloomy look, and everyone in Yangjiatun suddenly exploded and began to discuss.
"Old village chief, you don't care about us anymore?" Someone asked out loud with a crying voice.
"Without the ration land, how can we live in the future? Do you really want us to carry the long-term work for that Huang Buren? Are you just going to leave it alone? Some smart people think long-term, and immediately think of Yang Jiatun's current situation, and with a slight complaint, he said eagerly.
"Then let's listen to the old village chief, and Mr. Yao is the patriarch? Mr. Yao's literacy and hyphenation will not make the big guy hungry, nor will he let Huang Buren bully us. "I have a good relationship with Yao Runzhi on weekdays, and I tentatively proposed.
"Although Haifu usually pretends to be a little pretended, what he said today is not unreasonable, our Yang Jiatun is surnamed Yang after all." Some old-fashioned people also agreed with Yang Haifu's proposal.
"I Yang Haifu don't have to grab the position of the patriarch, I still say the same thing, the position of the patriarch of Yangjiatun is occupied by the virtuous and capable, I propose that we openly elect the patriarch!" Yang Haifu looked at the people in Yangjiatun who had different opinions, and immediately repeated his opinion loudly.
Yang Haifu's confident and inevitable look made Yao Runzhi difficult, according to Yao Runzhi's personality and way of doing things, he didn't want to take over the position of the patriarch of Yangjiatun. However, now the situation is different, the old village chief listened to his suggestion, and exchanged Yangjiatun's ration land for Huang Buren's barren mountain, and the old village chief resigned because he lost the ancestral business handed down by Yangjiatun's ancestors, and entrusted him with the future and future of the villagers in Yangjiatun, at this time, he could not be pushed back in any way.
However, Yang Haifu repeatedly instigated, provoked, read books for a few years, and claimed to be a literati and ink writer, he has always been at odds with himself, this time after Yang Lao Village Chief was half sad and half ashamed to abdicate, he showed his ambition, grasping that he was not surnamed Yang to make a big fuss, and there was a tendency to refuse to give up until he reached his goal.
When Yao Runzhi was in a dilemma, he saw Yao Tiantian frowning and didn't know what he was thinking, Yao Runzhi felt guilty, this child had just lost his parents, and he had just run over such a long way, and he met Yang Jiatun This kind of thing happened, his blood uncle not only couldn't give her a stable life, but now even a bite of food is a problem.
Yao Runzhi looked at Yao Tiantian and frowned guiltily, Yao Tiantian pondered thoughtfully, and did not find Yao Runzhi's expression, as a backbone white bone spirit in modern society, she naturally saw the intrigue of fighting for power in front of her, and understood it in her heart!
Yang Haifu came prepared, and he also pulled out a Yang Laitou to take the lead, and the second aunt Yang who was hiding behind seemed to have some different ideas, but I don't know if she was for the kind Second Uncle Yang or for the shrewd and calculating son Fusheng?
With the thought in his heart, Yao Tiantian unconsciously turned his head, and skimmed towards Fusheng, Da Zhuang and the three of them, coincidentally, just met with Fusheng with eager and apologetic eyes, Fusheng's eyes touched Yao Tiantian, and his people also took a step forward, walked to Yao Runzhi's side, and said loudly, "Mr. Yao is through astronomy, down to geography, under his leadership, our folks in Yangjiatun will definitely be able to live a good life, I support Mr. Yao to be the village chief and patriarch of Yangjiatun!" ”
Fusheng, who was less than eighteen years old, showed his attitude in such a high-profile manner, everyone in Yangjiatun was stunned, but Da Zhuang and Gouwa didn't care about everyone's reaction, they stepped forward in unison as if they had just woken up from a dream, and said loudly in unison, "We all support Mr. Yao as the patriarch of Yangjiatun!" ”
With Fusheng, Da Zhuang and Gouwa taking the lead, Yao Runzhi's students followed suit, and everyone said loudly in a slightly immature voice, "Yes, we all support Mr. Yao as the patriarch of Yangjiatun!" ”
As soon as this group of half-grown children who were about to turn eighteen years old came out, Yang Haifu's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "Adults talk, children don't interject!" This is a major matter in the discussion clan, what do you children who are not deeply involved in the world know? After being fooled by others, I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick! ”
As he spoke, Yang Haifu turned his head, looked at his ally Second Aunt Yang again, gritted his teeth and asked, "Brother Qiu's daughter-in-law, did you say it?" ”
As early as when Fusheng was the first to speak to support Yao Runzhi, Aunt Yang's face became cloudy, and now when she heard Yang Haifu ask her head by name, she glanced at her son with a resolute face, and then laughed dryly, "Hehe, Brother Haifu also thinks too highly of me, what do I know as a woman?" It's not up to you men to discuss the big things in the tun. ”
"You ......" Yang Haifu didn't expect Second Aunt Yang to change her face so quickly, he was choked speechless, stomped his feet fiercely, and simply pointed at Yao Runzhi's nose and asked, "The surname Yao, don't hide behind a group of half-grown children, you have the ability and I Yang Haifu are really clear!" ”
Looking at the people in Yangjiatun who were jumping to their feet in a hurry, Yao Tiantian's hanging heart finally let go a little. With Yao Tiantian's understanding of ancient times, the same clan and surname is a difficult gap to overcome, although his uncle Yao Runzhi has the recommendation of the old patriarch, but if Yang Haifu vigorously grasps the fact that he is not surnamed Yang to make a fuss and fool these neighbors, things are really difficult to do.
Of course, for the position of the head of Yangjiatun Village, Yao Tiantian naturally does not attach much importance to it, she likes to use the power of the barren mountain, the buckwheat seeds have just been harvested, and it is the time when the villagers of the whole village need to work together to open up the wasteland and farm, if the uncle who has a certain understanding of buckwheat food leads the group, there is naturally no problem, but if it is replaced by the arrogant Yang Haifu, things will be difficult to imagine, if it is not good, she and her uncle will even lose this shelter.
Yao Tiantian, who has always been strong, doesn't want to be defeated by an ambitious and brainless person just after crossing over, and she still has a big picture of ancient leisurely life in her heart that has not been opened. Thinking of this, Yao Tiantian also hurriedly stepped forward, gently pulled Yao Runzhi's sleeve, raised his small fist and made a 'come on' action.
Yao Runzhi was amused by the little sweet girl's childish movements, he laughed, his heart was moved, and he gave her a look that she didn't have to worry about, and then met Yang Haifu's gaze squarely, he had a gentle smile on his face, but there was an undoubted insistence in his tone, "Runzhi is worthy of the old patriarch, and he also wants to do something for the villagers in Yangjiatun." However, since you have a different opinion, we will follow what you said, and three months later, we will be publicly elected in front of the old ancestral hall in Tunzi! ”
After finishing speaking, Yao Runzhi tightened the brocade silk title deed in his hand, pulled Yao Tiantian's sleeve and was about to walk to the inner room.
"Wait!" Yang Haifu, who was behind him, loudly stopped, "Since you want to compete openly, you can't swallow the seven taels of silver left by Huang Dahu alone, right?" ”
Hearing this, Yao Runzhi's footsteps paused, he didn't look back, and directly threw the money bag in his hand back, "The silver belongs to you, and I will dispose of the barren mountain!" ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" Yang Haifu stretched out his hand and scooped the silver bag in his hand, carefully checked it, and after hearing the crisp and pleasant sound inside, he smiled all over his face, raised his fist at Yao Runzhi's back, and his face was full of 'I won't win'.
Yao Runzhi still didn't look back, but as if he had eyes behind his back, waiting for the proud Yang Haifu to catch the silver, he added leisurely, "I hope you can do it yourself and use all the money in Yangjiatun on the villagers." ”
Handsome! It's so handsome, it's cool! Yao Tiantian secretly gave a thumbs up, this is called the demeanor of a general, and he took everything into his own hands with a high profile! Three months is enough, and Yao Tiantian knows that the growth period of buckwheat is short, and if it is managed properly, it only takes sixty or seventy days from sowing to harvesting.
When the time comes, the barren mountains will be full of food that can be eaten, and who can be the position of the patriarch of Yangjiatun will be obvious to everyone. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the people of Yangjiatun still can't accept that their surname is Yao and not Yang, and at that time, planting buckwheat on the mountain will also be everyone's consensus, and their goal has also been achieved.
