Chapter VII: The History of the Family
"Yo, then you can be considered a child, right? How's the friendship? After Tang Hongye listened to it, he also opened his mouth to ask this young man.
"It used to be okay, children, they are all about the same age, so they usually play and make trouble, and it doesn't affect the friendship too much, no, the kind of friendship between children, in fact, it's not a friendship, I'm not the kind of person who can play with him, it's just okay, he doesn't seem to have a particularly good relationship with those of our age, it's almost like me." The young man's mouth was an understatement, but he could still hear a little disdain and a little sourness from his expression and tone, "And later, when people developed, they didn't stay in our countryside, and the whole family made a fortune and moved to the city, becoming a city person, a rich second generation, then we are not the same kind of people as others, and there is nothing to talk about together." ”
"Then why didn't you have a special time with him when his family was still living here? What's wrong with this Ding Zhengqing's character, or what's wrong with his character? Cuckoo asked.
Originally, this young man didn't want to speak, but the person who asked the question was Du Juan, so he was a little embarrassed to refuse, hesitated slightly, and replied: "Actually, it can't be said that there is no character, but it can be regarded as a matter of character." Ding Zhengqing was not very old when we were here, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old when he moved away, children, what is there to be too serious, it is to usually fool around together. His biggest problem is that he can blow too much, so how do you say that? That's the master who has pigskin hanging on the door frame and can only go out after wiping his mouth! Anyway, even the flies in their family are double-eyelids, usually a group of children get together, he has to press others for everything, who is willing to take care of him after a long time, and slowly he is not so gregarious. ”
The young man said here, the middle-aged thin and tall man who had just opened his mouth suddenly snorted with a smile, Tang Hongye noticed his subtle reaction, and immediately cast his eyes on him, the thin and tall man didn't have any thoughts to hide, seeing Tang Hongye looking at himself, he said to him: "I think that Ding Zhengqing's character is not very good, not only that his character is not very good, this is that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, their Ding family is not good from the root, they all say that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, As far as the character of their family Lao Ding is concerned, they can't give birth to any good sons who are upright. ”
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged woman next to him who seemed to be his wife immediately twisted his arm and looked at him: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the police, I don't know if it's the son of the Lao Ding family who died here, you are talking nonsense here, and it will reach the ears of others, and I won't help you stop you when Lao Ding's family runs to our house to tear your mouth!" You've forgotten how fierce their family is, have you? ”
As soon as the thin and tall man heard this, his original desire to talk seemed to disappear all of a sudden, he closed his mouth, laughed at Tang Hongye twice, and then stopped saying anything.
Seeing this, Tang Hongye did not continue to ask him the bottom of the matter, but smiled at him and asked very casually: "Is your family a neighbor living with this family?" Far from it? ”
"Not far," the tall and thin man pointed to a smoking house with a chimney below the slope, "and there it is!" ”
Tang Hongye didn't say anything more, and asked the other villagers around him with Du Juan, and basically came up with a general idea. This family's surname is Ding, the head of the household is in his fifties this year, called Ding Kangqiang, originally with his wife and only son Ding Zhengqing, a family of three living here, the family has not been particularly wealthy in the early years, and even when the year is not very good, it will seem a little stretched, and then I don't know whether it should be said that Ding Kangqiang has a brain or good luck, and met a self-proclaimed graduate of a certain agricultural university to go to the countryside to get rich projects, looking for voluntary cooperative farmers to plant some kind of Chinese herbal medicine, Other people in the village felt that this matter was a bit unsafe, and they all refused, and continued to plant cash crops, Ding Kangqiang's family did not have a few acres of land, and the usual harvest was not enough for any expenses, so they agreed, but no one expected that the planting was very successful, and the harvest was quite rich, and later the partners took away the high-quality Chinese herbs planted by Ding Kangqiang at a high price.
This is the first pot of gold in Ding Kangqiang's house, and it also makes Ding Kangqiang feel alive.
After that, Ding Kangqiang no longer faced the loess with his back to the sky for decades, planting ordinary cash crops, but speculatively continued to plant some relatively rare things, and had a good income for several years.
Ding Kangqiang raised fish but not to sell fish to make money, he turned the fish pond into a fishing paradise, next to the fish pond also made some sun umbrellas and fishing chairs and the like, built a small house next to it, which is specially used to sell all kinds of drinks and snacks, and even has a small kitchen, which can be used to make fried rice and fried noodles and other meals, Ding Kangqiang rents a boom, a fishing rod is rented for fifty, how many fish can be taken away for nothing, no need to give extra money, hot and thirsty and hungry can also buy additional drinks and food, which may not be uncommon elsewhere, But in the village at that time, it was also the first one, and even among the surrounding villages, it was also unique, so it soon attracted some idle villagers to come to spend, many people felt that fifty yuan to rent a fishing rod was not expensive, and if you could stay here from morning to night, you can catch a few more fish not only to return to the cost, but even take advantage.
But Ding Kangqiang is obviously very shrewd, the fish in his fish pond are always in a state of seeming to be full, saying that he can't catch it, and occasionally he will be hooked, saying that he can catch it, a fishing rod sits all day, and if he can catch a carp, it is good, and it is worth at most twenty or thirty yuan on the market, so no matter what, Ding Kangqiang will make a steady profit. In addition, Ding Kangqiang's wife is a person with a very clever mouth, and his skills are also good, three persuasions and two persuasions, basically people who come here to fish rarely bring their own water and dry food, and when they are hungry, they buy some food and drink at their house, which makes Ding Kangqiang earn an extra sum of money.
In this way, Ding Kangqiang's family's money is like a snowball, and then because he has done a good job in this fishing paradise, although this village is not close to the city, but the traffic is relatively convenient, and gradually there are some fishing enthusiasts in the city who will drive here in groups during the holidays, Ding Kangqiang once again saw the business opportunity, and built a farmhouse next to the fish pond for fishing enthusiasts from the city to stay, a few years later, Ding Kangqiang's family has achieved a huge leap, From a family that still owes foreign debts to live outside, to the richest family in the village.
What's more, just when the surrounding villages and towns began to have imitators and competitors, and fishing parks and farmhouses began to bloom everywhere, Ding Kangqiang stopped in time and sold his farmhouse and fishing paradise at a good price, and the family moved away and moved to the city, leaving only the old house and old courtyard that he had never been to, and some time ago, Ding Kangqiang's son Ding Zhengqing returned to the village with a posture of returning to his hometown, and I heard that he wanted to help Ding Kangqiang demolish the old house in the village. Renovating a new home like a luxury villa, Ding Kangqiang and his wife are ready to come back from time to time to live.
As a result, the demolition and reconstruction of the house has not yet been seriously put on the agenda, and there is such a bizarre death in the old house of the Ding family, and the villagers are also very curious about it.
