The rickshaw arrived at the gate of the Wu family's courtyard and stopped abruptly. Wu Yi got out of the car with his pocket, opened the courtyard door, and the brothers entered the house.

"Big brother is back." The cousin with a better face wore an apron and was busy with lunch in the outhouse. As soon as she saw Wu come back, she greeted her warmly.

"Hello cousin." Wu Yi saw his cousin again.

"Sister, fire this." Wu San said: "Sister-in-law takes so many dishes. ”

"Mom, hello wow." Wu Yi greeted his mother.

When the mother heard her son return, she got up from the couch. Every time she saw her son, she always felt a joy in her heart, and she welcomed her son out before he entered the house.

Although my mother is over seventy years old, she does not look old, with a fair face and gray hair. Although every incident hit her hard, with the careful care of her filial son and daughter-in-law, the mother gradually stayed away from those troubles, and lived more comfortably and peacefully. In order to let their mother spend their old age in peace, Wu Yi and Ding Zandong thought of their uncle's cousin, and it happened that they met someone with a good heart, and their cousin and brother-in-law were about to work in the city. In the years when I was getting old, my cousin's family tried their best, and life got better day by day. Now my cousin's children have married a family, and consensual things are always in harmony. My cousin and brother-in-law live in Wu Yi's house, and my cousin takes care of the affairs of my mother's house.

At this time, the sturdy brother-in-law came back from work, "The eldest brother's hotel is busy. The brother-in-law was washing his hands while chatting with Wu Yi.

"Come back and see my mother," Wu Yi said, "and talk to my sister and brother-in-law again." ”

"It's enough for the hotel to have a sister-in-law." My cousin said admiringly.

"Sister-in-law has a way of doing business." Wu San interjected.

At the beginning of the meal, Wu Yi handed his mother a beer, and then handed it to his cousin, and then poured three glasses of white wine, and the atmosphere on the table suddenly rose.

"Grain and crops are in the warehouse?" Wu Yi asked.

"That's all there is left." Said the brother-in-law.

"Farming isn't going forward for a few years, is it?"

"No, it's just for the New Year."

A few years ago, my uncle's family, my uncle's son, and my girl's three families contracted more than 100 pieces of land. The price of corn, which has remained unchanged for many years, has jumped to more than one yuan and one catty. It's good to catch up with the rain again, and every household is in full swing. Not only did they get out of poverty, but they also had savings. However, after a few years of soaring and stable prices, prices began to stagnate and decline. In addition, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and greenhouse films rise and fall too quickly...... So, the uncle, the son, and the girl's three families hurriedly changed the project and changed the fields that could not be irrigated with water into paddy fields.

"Surely there is a risk to this shift?" Wu Yi was very interested, "In the past, there was saline-alkali land to develop paddy fields, can the field be converted into paddy fields?" ”

"It also has to be adapted to local conditions. The land that depends on the sky (no water) for food, no matter how bad the year is, since it is planted, it will not be harvested. ”

"How can rice fields compare with big fields?"

"Drought and flood to ensure harvest."

"It's still a success."

"Now it's not enough to just farm the land, the land is reserved for the people at home, and those who can come out come out to work." The brother-in-law put down his glass.

"How are the village cadres? Do things for farmers? Wu Yi asked.

"Most of them should be good, but not in our village." When my brother-in-law said this, he was a little indignant.

"If a village doesn't have a good leader, the farmers will suffer." Wu Yi said.

"Not really." Cousin said.

A few years ago, village cadres watched the peasants make money and encouraged those peasants who had rented land to take back their leased land or raise their rents. Everyone knows that the lease period has not arrived, and the signed contract can be changed casually? Is that still called a contract? If the peasants do not do what they say, they will use policies to oppress the peasants.

"Who are these people?" Wu Yi said: "When the peasants have money, they also add glory to the village. ”

"The village cadres are all relatives." Said the brother-in-law.

"No matter who you are, you have to follow the guidelines and policies." Wu Yi said.

What's more, the cultivated land, mobile land, tree land, meadows, farming, logging, grazing, etc., in the village are all managed by their own mode of control, but the common property of the village has become private property, and the peasants have never enjoyed this treatment. Those who have a number in their hearts come out and shout, even if they shout in vain. Next is the glass in the house is smashed, and chickens, ducks, and geese are missing. After all, he is a farmer, and he is dazed by these words and those things. Although the peasants are the majority, and the village cadres are only a few, the tossing and turning of a few people often occupies the top because they have power in their hands. The peasants are dumb and don't want to cause trouble anymore, and they can't afford to mess with it.

"It's just a bandit, a bully." Wu Yi said indignantly: "Does the township know? Go to the city and reason. ”

"It's useless." The brother-in-law said, "As the old saying goes: the official is the official, the official is the official, and the tiger is the doorman." The brother-in-law continued: "Everyone eats fried beans, and the fryer is one person." The key is to really compare the truth, only listen to the sound of the wheel, but do not know where the well is. ”

"Then it won't work." Wu San said.

"I can't afford to provoke, can't I hide?" The brother-in-law said, "How good and free it is now." ”

"When it comes, evil will not prevail over good." Wu Yi said firmly.

"Yes, that's it." Everyone at the table believed it.

The mother believed the words of her niece and son-in-law, and she believed the words of her son even more. She listened to the children's conversation, and before she knew it, she drank the beer.

The brother-in-law went to work, and Wu San went back to the house to sleep. As soon as Wu came to the back room, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa, so he sat down next to his mother.

"Mom, don't you sleep for a while?"

"You sleep."

Wu Yi took advantage of his mother's interest to say what had been discussed in advance, and his mother believed it.

"Can he do it?"

"Yes," Wu Yi said, "my brother can rest assured." ”

Wu San lived in the same courtyard with his mother and ate together. In order not to let his mother know about Wu Er, and not to let his mother worry about Wu San.

Despite the fatigue of the journey; Although the brothers fell asleep in the bunk beds, due to the jolting and rattling of the train. This night, Wu Yi and Wu San didn't sleep much. But when they got off the bus in the morning, the brothers still felt fresh and refreshed. The seaside city in December isn't that chilly. The wind blowing in their faces, licking the smell of the sea, passing through the tall buildings, and holding them on the cheeks. The hustle and bustle of the day has already begun on the road. Wu Yi and his wife found the community rented by Wu Er according to the address. The brothers saw Hong Hong from afar. They entered the house, and after listening to Hong Hong's words, they had breakfast very dullly. When the couple returned to Honghong's rental building, Wu Yi continued to restore the experience of Wu Er and his wife in the city......

When he was in his hometown, Wu Er "challenged" his mother many times, why did he go so far in Kanto? Why don't you stand at the place where you pass through the customs (Shanhaiguan). Mother didn't like to hear this, Wu Er was annoyed, but her mother said:

"Why don't you find a place?"

Wu Erzhen had nothing to say.

Now, Wu Er has come to the city he longs for, determined to achieve a career here. He successfully completed the first half of his life and entered the factory in the countryside. However, nearly a decade of unemployment, he has been cast into a piece of waste. The ruthless unemployment, which drains almost everyone's spirit, energy, and spirit, will be in vain. Doing nothing all day; Eating, drinking, and merrymaking all day long creates a person's inertia, hurts a person's body, and wears down people's will. But as time went by, Wu Er slowly adapted to this rhythm of life and was able to make friends with some characters with heads and faces. Nowadays, in the face of people who are hungry, work is only a means to obtain, and it is more important to give full play to a person's ingenuity. Therefore, when Wu Er arrived here, he didn't work immediately like his daughter-in-law. Every day he chatted with his neighbors in the neighborhood, and he got an important piece of information to see the car one by one. From seventeen o'clock to seven o'clock the next morning, I slept in the warm booth at night. He knew how important it was to him, because he hadn't used his strength in more than a decade. I began to look at the neatly aligned vehicles parked on both sides of the road and on the sidewalks. Later, he thought it was an invisible obstacle where people could only walk through the gaps in the car. This is the prominent label of a big city: there are many people, many cars, and high buildings. Despite this, Wu Er has always been very attentive. If you don't see the owner of the car at night, you will collect it when the owner goes to work the next morning. When the snow stopped, he dusted all the cars in the parking lot. This strength works comfortably for him. In addition to the salary, the monthly reward is based on the amount of the vehicle controller's payment, but the reward money is given to the director of the tube. The director of the film pinched the money in his hand and asked more than a dozen vehicle controllers to eat and drink, and even let the vehicle controllers pay for the money they went out to find the young lady. Perhaps, people's forbearance and silence are the ladder for those big, medium and small officials to kick their noses and faces, and if the insistent old sow arches the sauce bar and drinks the two skin faces, she will eventually hit her head and bleed. However, in the face of the director, the vehicle controller has to respectfully "respect" him, otherwise his job will not be guaranteed.

As the saying goes, there are many beasts in the mountains, and there are all kinds of "birds" in the big forests. There are always some people who take advantage of it and still want to bully the market, and they don't pay for parking and don't leave. Despite Wu Eryi's repeated restraints, he still had to quarrel, and he was even more impatient and tough on those arrogant and domineering car owners. As a result, he was beaten to the hospital for the second time. Although it is a "public injury", it hurts on his body and hurts in his heart. When he understood what it meant that a strong dragon couldn't suppress the head snake, he quit when he was discharged from the hospital.

Although there are experiences, lessons, and capital to integrate into the city. But he finally understood that no matter where he was, as long as he was a member of the world, his life, work, and behavior were just the same. So, his active thinking made him full of wine and food, and wandered leisurely in the streets and alleys with the night.
