Chapter XIII
"Lao Huang, Lao Huang, is Huang honest at home? Is there anyone at home? Come out and pick it up!"
When the three members of the old Huang family were chatting hotly, they heard someone shouting his father's name at the gate, Wang Ziyu stood up curiously and looked out, and Yingying saw two people standing at the gate, and he didn't know who it was.
"Don't move, I'd better go out and have a look. Dad raised his hand to stop the mother who was about to go to the ground, put on his shoes and came to the outhouse, pushed open the door and saw that it was Guo Dewang, the village chief, and Guo Decai, the village accountant.
Guo Dewang and Guo Decai, both have a German character in their names, which is easily reminiscent of kinship.
That's right! They are brothers of the same mother, Guo Dewang is the eldest, Guo Decai is the second, and the names of the two together are "Wangcai", which means prosperous and wealthy, and is a very festive name.
In fact, these two brothers are indeed worthy of their names, they are both good friends, one is the village chief, the other is the village accountant, and the people in the village praise their names well, until one day, Xing Ye's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" was screened in the village, when everyone saw the dog named "Wangcai", ...... Suddenly, I felt that I was indeed a good match with the village chief brothers, which was very appropriate.
Why are they here? Could it be that Guo Sihai is getting married, please have a wedding wine? And why is this Guo Decai also here? Huang Youcai's heart was full of excitement and he welcomed out.
Although they live in a village, the relationship between the old Guo family and the old Huang family is very ordinary, especially the relationship with this Guo Decai is not very good.
It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but they can also be mortal enemies!
Guo Decai and his uncle Huang Youmin are leading the house, and they always quarrel over trivial matters, and the conflict is easy to escalate from the beginning, thus rising to the point of fighting.
Guo Decai and Huang Youmin once had a conflict because of a fight between two children, and they used to do it, but the result was that Huang Youmin, who had been a soldier, was slightly better, and Guo Decai suffered a few old punches and suffered a small loss.
Guo Decai, as the village accountant, is also a person with a head and face in the village, he can't swallow this breath, and he has to fight with Huang Youmin when he goes home to get a kitchen knife, and in the end, it is the village head Guo Dewang who came forward to mediate and settle the dispute between the two families.
At that time, my father rushed to the scene when he heard the news and helped his uncle Huang Youmin, although he didn't do anything when he stood up, but Guo Decai even took him with a grudge, and since then the Guo and Huang families have been married, and they have not spoken when they have met since then, and there is little intersection.
"I said Lao Huang, don't you know if you're a guest, why did you come out, are you so hospitable, I don't know any politeness, I'm really living so old in vain. Dad greeted him with a smile, but he was complained by Guo Decai.
Guo Decai was wearing a navy blue suit, a pair of leather shoes polished, a handbag under his arm, and a big back comb, very leading, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cover up the hard wounds of baldness, which was a good interpretation of baldness and ruin.
Guo Dewang, dressed in a dark blue tunic suit, with a pen in his jacket pocket, neat short hair, and an approachable smile on his face, although he is not as good as Guo Decai in terms of clothing and shape, he is better than he has a cultural atmosphere and has the temperament of a village cadre.
"I'm sorry, I'm slacking, village chief, you can sit in the house quickly. Dad smiled and invited them into the house.
After Guo Decai finished scolding Huang Youcai, he took the lead in the back room, but when he saw Wang Ziyu standing on the kang, he was immediately stunned, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he took a step back like a ghost, and almost bumped into Guo Dewang behind him.
"What are you doing, it's shocking, it's such a big person, you can't be steady. Guo Dewang pulled away Guo Decai, who was blocking in front of him, raised his eyes and saw the prince Yu on the kang, his surprise flashed, and then dragged Guo Decai to sit on the side of the kang.
"The village chief is here, drink some white water, there is no tea at home, I'm embarrassed to be lazy. Wang Ziyu and his mother both heard Guo Decai's words, and his mother was in an unhappy mood and her face was not depressed, but she still put the two cups of boiled water prepared in front of them.
"Boiled water? This thing is light, it doesn't taste at all, who drinks it, I can't drink it anyway." Guo Decai pouted, and then put the water cup on the other side with a disgusted expression.
"If you don't drink me, you happen to be thirsty. Dad grabbed the water cup, drank all the glass of water, and said, "Comfortable." ”
Guo Dewang is worthy of being the village head, he is well-informed, and his ability to observe faces and looks is first-class, seeing that his parents have different expressions, he hurriedly smiled and eased the atmosphere, "Lao Huang, let's go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this time I came over, mainly to accept the retention money." ”
Immediately afterwards, Guo Dewang glanced at Wang Ziyu, and the words changed, "We have all heard about your Huang San, this child can survive, it is really a blessing, a great life, a great creation, and he is definitely a blessed person, and the two of you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future." ”
"You can pull it down, the thunder didn't kill him, you think about how hard this child's life is, if you want me to say, if you two want to live for two more days, it's better to separate as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be killed by him! If you don't believe it, you ......" Guo Decai sneered at the eldest brother's words, disagreed, and seriously talked to his parents about numerology and feng shui.
"What are you talking about, what are you talking about, what are you doing with this thing, and besides, Lao Huang is not short-lived, is this not alive very good. The village chief Guo Dewang pulled Guo Decai a little angrily and didn't let him continue.
"What are you pulling me for, isn't this thing obvious, what is there not to say, besides, Lao Huang is not short-lived, you can see it, Huang Cai's kid is so smart and energetic, isn't he still in his prime. Guo Decai was a little resentful, and got into a fight with the village chief Guo Dewang.
"What nonsense are you talking about, what are you dying, did you see it? Didn't you look at it, Huang Caina is a well-known big boss in the township, the richest man in the township, and the Jiren have their own natural appearance, do you understand?"
"What can the richest man do, the richest man can't die? Isn't the richest man missing, it's been two months since he disappeared, and a big living man said that he would be gone, if he hadn't died, he would have gone home a long time ago, and he would still be holding on to what are you doing with me. "Guo Decai was dissatisfied with seven of them, and eight of them were angry with the village chief.
"Disappearing doesn't mean you're dead, as the saying goes, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, and this corpse hasn't been seen yet, why do you come to the conclusion that people are dead, isn't this nonsense? The village head, Guo Dewang, glared and reprimanded.
"Still talking nonsense, that's nonsense, it's nonsense, you can't say anything, you still die with me, it's useless to say anything now, Huang Cai must be dead, that's a matter of not running, don't believe it, ask Lao Huang, see what his opinion is. Guo Decai had a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look at his father Huang Youcai.
Village Chief Guo Dewang and Guo Decai, you say a word to me, a song and a harmony echo each other, like talking about cross talk, one holds one teasing, that is, the more you talk, the more excited you are, the more you talk, the more energetic you say, and the foaming and fishy people are flying.
Wang Ziyu watched coldly, the more he listened, the more wrong he became, which is to take in and stay, this is clearly which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned, and he deliberately added blockage to the house!
These two guys are thorny in their words, with guns and sticks, and they can't do without a dead word, this is deliberately sprinkling salt on the hearts of their parents and parents? I feel that they just came to see the jokes, which is really bad, and it deserves to be called Wangcai.
"Didn't you come to take in and keep me, why did you get involved with my eldest brother, and besides, I don't have to worry about my eldest brother's affairs, don't you feel tired. Looking at the gradually sad faces of his parents and his parents, Wang Ziyu saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, he was angry and immediately stood up and started fighting.
"Hey, you kid don't have a big temper and don't have a small temper, don't I just tell the truth, what's the matter, you're not happy, hum, you're not happy and don't move, your eldest brother is indeed missing, and I didn't make it up, right, besides, I'm also his elder, don't I care about it, don't you care about it, if you don't appreciate it, why are you still anxious with me, it's really no tutor!" Guo Decai turned around and looked at Wang Ziyu with a grin, looking at Huang Laoshi and his family sad, he was so happy in his heart, and he was full of smiles.
"How does San'er talk this, how does your mother usually educate you, such a big person doesn't understand politeness at all, what's the difference between that and a beast, it's not as good as a pig and a dog!"
Wang Ziyu heard it, his mother clearly meant that Sang scolded Huai, sarcastically Guo Decai was not even as good as a brute, and immediately smiled slightly, bowed to the village chief Guo Dewang and Guo Decai, and said obediently: "Uncle Guo is good, Second Uncle Guo is good, you are welcome to come to our house to sit as a guest, just now I was a little anxious, please don't go to my heart, don't be like a little nephew." With that, he sat down on the windowsill.
Guo Decai is not stupid, a touch of anger appeared on his face, and the village chief Guo Dewang was also a little unnatural, seeing that the atmosphere in the house was stagnant, he hurriedly smiled and played a round, "Sister-in-law, this child of yours is really sensible and can speak, this aspect is up to you, I think this child will definitely not be wrong in the future, you just wait to enjoy happiness with him." ”
"Hehe, forget about the happiness, as long as you don't be ignorant like a beast, I will burn high incense. "My son was praised by others, whether it was sincere or false, my mother was happy in her heart, and her face turned from gloomy to sunny.
"Look at this child, sensible, obedient, really good child, now it's hard to find such a child, like the one in my family, always causing trouble. The village chief Guo Dewang looked at Wang Ziyu with a smile and said.
"Are you getting married tomorrow?" The father was very annoyed by the village chief, hoping to get down to business and leave early.
"Yes, this time, there are two things, one is to invite you to my house tomorrow for a wedding wine, and the other is to accept the retention money. Guo Dewang, the village head, took a sip of water and explained his intention again.
"Eating wine is a must. Dad agreed, and then asked cautiously, "How much money is our family keeping?" ”
"350 yuan for one person, for four people in your family, a total of 1,400 yuan. Guo Dewang, the village head, replied fluently.
"1400, why is it so, wasn't it 300 per person last year, how did the price rise. When my mother heard that she had to pay so much money, she immediately became sad.
"There's no way about this, we will charge as much as you want to pay, look at this money, when do you want to pay it." The village head, Guo Dewang, looked at his father inquiringly.
"Slowly, you see the current situation of our family, there is no money at all, I'll make it up after a while, okay?" Dad frowned and discussed cautiously.
"What's wrong with this, the old yellow character didn't say, you can definitely trust it, if you have money, you can send it to me. Speaking of this, the village chief Guo Dewang stood up, "Okay, that's the thing, that's the situation, that's the situation, then let's go first." ”
"Uncle Guo, goodbye Second Uncle Guo, come when you have time, I don't have good legs and feet, so I won't send you. Wang Ziyu was very happy when he saw that the two of them were leaving, these two annoying spirits should have left a long time ago, and made an excuse not to send them.
"Look at this kid, how sensible, hehe, Huang San has time to go to my house to play with you Brother Sihai. The village chief Guo Dewang replied, and left with Guo Decai, who was slightly eyebrows, and his father sent him off.
"350, it's gone up so much, tell me, where is the money, what's the problem. When my father came back, my mother spread out her hands and complained to him.
"What's the trick then, how much do people say, you dare not pay it. Dad sat on the edge of the kang and continued to smoke.
"I heard that Shi didn't pay it for three years, and I didn't look at what people were doing, so I used our money to level the pit for them. Mom said excitedly.
The village chief really has the final say on the retention of the rural area, no matter how much or how little he pays, as long as he completes the tasks assigned by the township, it is OK, so some people in the village do not pay money, and some people pay more, which is normal.
