Chapter 179: Sheung Shui Village Chief
I don't know why, the words of the third grandmother are like a nail, straight into my heart, if I really don't care about the life and death of the fathers and villagers of Bansheng Village, then I haven't forced the whole village into a desperate situation.
Since my mother revealed my birthdate, this secret that had been hidden in her heart for many years finally spit out, but why did she say it, with her position, she could continue to hide the matter, perhaps, in the eyes of my mother, this matter should have been borne by me, and my mother just gave me the right to make decisions.
People can't be too selfish, they can't live only for themselves, for thousands of years, no one understands this simple truth, but when faced with a choice, it is indeed so difficult.
I remembered that when I was in Luomen Town, my fate with Luo Hua came from the last resort of solving the Gu matter, just when I was sad, Luo Yu, the second young master of the Luo family, once told me that some things are not so difficult, but can you completely let go of your heart, and then go over this hurdle in your heart.
I once clearly remember that Luo Yu asked me two questions, "First, is life important, or is it important for you to insist on being a person?" The second is to save Luo Hua, has it touched my bottom line? ”
I know very well in my heart that this incident in Sheung Shui Village is to save the lives of men, women and children in the village, and my so-called bottom line has become worthless in the face of this bargaining chip.
The third grandmother saw that my job bowl was at the bottom, and filled in some more for me, and with her old man's insight, she must know what I was thinking about.
"It's hard, isn't it?" The third grandmother asked me.
"Well, it's hard!" I nodded, and the third grandmother and I both understood the meaning of the conversation.
"Alas!" I let out a long sigh, "I really don't understand how Yishui made such a big decision in the first place, after all, after all, he still had Xiaoxia at the time!" ”
"I've always been unhappy with this kid in my heart, but now it's better for him to be gone, and it's better to live the life he wants than to live in the village!" The third grandmother also said her thoughts, she is a reasonable person, and the third grandmother always feels a little guilty about this matter.
Just as I was talking to the third grandmother, a person came in the courtyard, about fifty years old, and his pace was very steady.
"Who's coming!" I asked the third grandmother and pointed to the person outside the door!
"Why is he here!" The third grandmother first muttered to herself, and then said to me, "The village chief of Sheung Shui Village! ”
"What is he doing here?" I wondered a little in my heart, it was getting dark, why did this person come at this time.
"Hmph, what? You must have come to ask if you couldn't find anyone? ”
"Then this time is too short, and it will take some time to find someone! It's the middle of the night, what are you doing at night! ”
"People don't care about that, in this matter, people take the initiative! Come whenever you want. The third grandmother was a little helpless.
"But, this is too much of a hurry!" I'm a little angry.
"A man, it's so good to stay here, if I don't let you say it, don't interject nonsense, this is not an impulsive thing, how difficult things are, you have to discuss them."
I understood what the third grandmother meant, she was afraid that I would be impulsive and directly responded to this matter.
After the third grandmother said this, she sorted out her smiling face and walked out of the yard, in fact, I quite understand the third grandmother, this up and down, left and right, many things need to be weighed by her.
The old man entered the house, his feet crossed over the kang, his face was full of folds, and he still held a cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth, and he looked like a bad comer.
The third grandmother was smiling all over her face and made good tea for the old village chief.
The old village chief took a sip, "chirp" a few times, and muttered, "The water is not good!" ”
"Yes, yes, there's all the bottom of the pot left!" The third grandmother quickly chimed in.
"What's going on? Did anyone find it? The old village chief asked the third grandmother.
"You also know that you were born at this hour, and you have to be a young man who has never married, how can it be so easy to find?" The third grandmother showed an embarrassed expression.
"Hmph, it's easy to find it, if there is another one like Wang Yishui, and even the room is not round with her, this matter is equivalent to not being solved." The old village chief snorted for a moment.
After the old village chief said this, I seemed to understand what he meant, after all, the water in the spring is getting less and less, even if the people of our half-life village don't use it, and the people of their Shangshui Village continue to use it, the spring can't last for a year and a half, I'm afraid it will have to dry up, his original meaning is not to restrict the water use of our half-life village, but really want to find such a young man, to have a round house with Widow He.
It seems that I still have some misunderstandings about the old village chief's analysis of restricting the use of water by the people of our village, who is the village chief and has a pattern in his heart, and he wants to fundamentally solve the problem of draught, rather than denying our village water.
The old village chief continued, "If you really find such a person, and the widow and the widow give the house to the circle, and the matter of the spring is solved, it will be a good thing for our village and your village." ”
"However, I also sent someone to inquire, such a person is really hard to find!" The third grandmother looked embarrassed.
"You may also wonder, why I came to you in the middle of the night, I went to see the spring today, it hasn't been sprayed for two days, if the amount of water continues to be so low, I'm really afraid that it will dry up in a few days!"
After the old village chief said this, he smoked a cigarette "pop and pop", his brows were tightly locked, and he was about to twist into a pimple.
"So, if you can find a young man like this, what are your plans?" The third grandmother glanced at the old village chief, "You can't still carry a sedan chair, let's marry the media!" ”
I don't understand what the third grandmother means by saying this to others.
"You said that this makes sense, at that time, the matter of Yishui entering the widow, we did it according to the normal etiquette, although it was a formality, but what is the use, this Wang Yishui is not running away."
The old man took a puff of cigarette and continued, "I also thought about it, if I find such a young man again, I won't make Ming Media marry such a big posture, the key is to solve the problem of the round house, find such a person, send the young man to Widow He, and unconsciously round the house, if the spring can be good, let's open the altar to worship the ancestors, thank God, if it can't be good, let's think about it again, even if it is not good in the end, this may also be the fate of Sheung Shui Village, who let the people in the village make Widow He suffer so much, Even if she wants revenge, she can't blame anyone! The old village chief's cigarette pouch and pot knocked on the edge of the kang and crackled.
Now I understand the meaning of the third grandmother's words, even if I respond to this matter, the third grandmother has to ask about the ceremony of entering the house, beating gongs and drums is one thing, and people don't know it.
The consequences of these two methods are completely different, if it is like a water, then the people of ten miles and eight villages will know about it, and even if I want to run at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to run away.
But if I do this unconsciously, it will leave me a lot of leeway, what people care about is the spring, and if the spring really gets better because of the round house, who can care if there is a man next to the widow.
"How many people in your village know about Wang Yishui's escape!" The third grandmother asked the village chief.
"I've been suppressing this matter, and the people in charge of the village know about it, counting me no more than three, you think about such a big thing, if you let the people in the village know, don't be excited to come over with a shovel and pickaxe to make trouble!"
The old village chief had a point, if he hadn't pressed it, the gang in Sheung Shui Village might have come to our village to find trouble.
"Then according to your meaning, if you find a young man, this matter will be done unknowingly, and it will not be quiet!"
"Yes!" The old village chief took another puff of his cigarette.
The third grandmother glanced at me, it seems that the decision of this matter is completely on me, if I really do this thing unconsciously, and the spring is fine, then I can withdraw.
But on the other hand, if the spring is not good, I can still run!
Yishui, Yishui, you're gone, why did you leave me with such a big problem!
