24. Small talk (1)

In the countryside, people who want to be face-saving are all particular about having contacts and contacts.

If someone helps you, you should consciously thank you. If you owe someone a favor, you should consciously repay it.

Wu Youliang helped Lin Susu this time, if Lin Susu pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't know how to repay, the next time, if Lin Susu encountered any difficulties, the people who saw it might not be able to stretch out their hands.

It's not that the person who helped wanted to eat a few of Lin Susu's eggs, but he felt that Lin Susu didn't know how to repay the kindness of others. People who don't know how to repay are ignored by no one in the village.

Every time Wu Youcheng talks about getting married, the villagers of Dahuang Village will sigh.

The surname Wu is the big surname of Dahuang Village. Among the villagers of Dahuang Village, the three surnames of Wu, Zhou, and He are the most.

Wu Youcheng's father, Wu Xiangle, was the last old village chief of Dahuang Village, that is, the old village chief who took the villagers to catch fish in the deep pool and was drowned.

When Wu Xiangle died, Wu Youcheng was only sixteen years old.

Wu Xiangle agreed to go to the deep pool to catch fish, and he also had a little selfishness at that time.

Wu Xiangle's wife, He Laidi, is nine months pregnant and is about to give birth. Wu Xiangle took everyone to catch fish, and he also had the idea of replenishing his wife's body in confinement.

As a result, Wu Xiangle never returned. The bad news was transmitted back to the Wu family, and He Laidi had a tire gas on the spot.

After giving birth to her youngest son Wu Youliang, He Laidi was bleeding profusely.

Before He Laidi died, he took the hand of his eldest son Wu Youcheng and asked him to take care of his two younger brothers. Wu Youcheng tearfully agreed.

Among the villagers who asked Wu Xiangle to catch fish, there were three surnames of Wu, Zhou, and He. Originally, everyone went with the idea of having a fat year, but they didn't expect Wu Xiangle to die in the deep pool. At this moment, the villagers who had come up with ideas were not calm.

Just to be able to eat a few bites of fish during the New Year, Wu Xiangle's family was ruined overnight. Hiss~! Such a psychological debt is too heavy.

Led by the three clan elders with the surnames of Wu, Zhou, and He, the villagers of Dahuang Village decided to nominate Wu Youcheng as the village chief of Dahuang Village, that is, the captain of the production team of Dahuang Village.

Wu Youcheng has studied for a few years, except for being a little younger, he is also an outstanding young man in Dahuang Village.

Most of the countrymen are simple, even if a small number of people are not convinced, for the sake of Wu Xiangle's tragic death, they do not dare to raise objections.

Sixteen-year-old Wu Youcheng is indeed capable, and with the support of the elders of the Wu, Zhou, and He families, it took a few months to manage Dahuang Village in an orderly manner.

Wu Youcheng became the captain, and the Wu family did not fall. The captain of the sixties and seventies still had a lot of power. Under the leadership of Wu Youcheng, although Dahuang Village is not famous in Liuhe Town, the villagers have also gained a lot of benefits.

Wu Youliang was brought up by Wu Youcheng and Wu Youjia's two elder brothers.

For the sake of his two younger brothers, Wu Youcheng delayed getting married until he was twenty-six years old.

Wu Youcheng married Zhou Yulan from the same village. The granddaughter of Zhou Qingsong, the old Zhou family.

Zhou Yulan is virtuous and capable, and the most important thing is that she is kind-hearted and has no selfishness towards the two little uncles.

Wu Youjia's marriage was done by Zhou Yulan to help Zhang Luo, and she married a girl from the neighboring village Xiatian Village, named Geng Shanhua. The talents are good-looking, and they get along with Zhou Yulan like sisters.

Now, Wu Youjia is already the father of a son and a daughter.

Wu Youliang is twenty-one this year and is married to a girl in the town.

Wu You has a family and a good wife, and he is fair, so he has a lot of prestige in the hearts of the villagers of Dahuang Village.

Zhou Yulan is a diligent person, and the three Wu Youcheng brothers are not bad at work. Wu Youcheng's house was rebuilt after Zhou Yulan got married.

Before Lin Susu's house was built, Wu Youcheng's big tile house was the most "luxurious" house in Dahuang Village.

Wu Youcheng's family has a big courtyard, which is bigger than Lin Susu's family.

Wu Youcheng's three brothers did not separate, when Wu Fengjiao and Lin Susu walked on the way to Wu's house, Wu Youcheng's family had already eaten dinner, and the family sat in the courtyard while enjoying the shade while chatting with laughter.

At this time of the day, it is when Wu Youcheng is the happiest.

Although the courtyard of the Wu family is large, the family is in the courtyard, and the large number of people in Wu Yang makes Wu Youcheng can't help but feel a little proud. He did what his parents expected of him: take his younger brother well and prosper the Wu family.

Wu Youcheng's appearance is good-looking, with a square face and a high nose bridge. Under a pair of thick black sword eyebrows, there is a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes.

But looking at his appearance, Wu Youcheng is still quite handsome, but he is a little shorter, only in his early sixties, standing with his wife Zhou Yulan, Zhou Yulan is one or two centimeters taller than Wu Youcheng.

Before Zhou Yulan got married, she was the most beautiful of the girls in Dahuang Village, and together with Su Xiaoqiao, a young man who came to Dahuang Village to cut in line, they were collectively called "the two golden flowers of Dahuang Village".

Wu Youcheng has a beautiful and capable wife, but she is very precious. In the Wu family, Zhou Yulan can be half of the home. If there are any major decisions in the Great Wilderness Village, Wu Youcheng will mention them to Wu Yulan when he goes home, and sometimes ask Wu Yulan to help come up with ideas.

The Wu family took advantage of the shade, and used to bring a stool from the house, or sit under the porch or under the tree. However, the distance between the family will not be too wide, and they will often sit and sit in a semicircle to chat.

Zhou Yulan told Zhou Mingying about going to Lin Susu's house today, and finally, Zhou Yulan sighed: "Mingying's vision is really good, she has taken a fancy to Su Su, and wants her second cow to marry Su Su." ”

"Huh? Aunt Wu agreed? Su Su is still a little mile! Wu Youcheng felt a little pity. In Wu Youcheng's opinion, Wang Erniu is not worthy of Lin Susu.

Wang Erniu, the child, is a well-known skin in Dahuang Village, put Wang Erniu and Lin Susu together, one is a sloppy child who often drags two tubes of snot, and the other is a clean and quiet and lovely little girl, how to look at how to disobey!

"Yes! Isn't Su Xiaoqiao's maiden family from Haishi? Maybe I'll find it in the future and take Su Su to live in Haishi! Married to Wang Erniu, didn't Lin Susu become a village woman for the rest of her life? Zhou Yulan's concubine Geng Shanhua also expressed her opinion.

In the early eighties, there was still a big difference between urban and rural areas.

The hukou book of people in the city is different from that of people in the countryside. The people in the city are called residents, and with their household registration book, they have 28 catties of food stamps, one catty of meat stamps, three taels of oil stamps, and one foot of cloth stamps every month. There are also sugar tickets and melon seed tickets during the New Year's holidays.

Rural people who cultivate land, regardless of whether the harvest is good or not, must pay agricultural tax -- that is, a certain proportion of grain corresponding to the number of acres of land.

In a famine year, rural people may go hungry. People in the city don't, they go to the food store every month with their food books to buy supplies, although they can't eat a round stomach every day, but they can't starve to death.

Besides, the city people and the state also assign jobs!
