Chapter 20 Forced to buy food
We don't know how to deal with it here, but the village official is here.
The village chief already knew what was going on, so as soon as he entered the hospital, he shouted at Chen's sister-in-law, "Chen Cuihua, don't howl there, what's wrong with your son dead, didn't you go out to work?" You have something to say, don't make your useless set. ”
In fact, it's really useful, you see that we are all stupid here, we are all scared by this sister-in-law Chen.
Sister-in-law Chen was still afraid of the village chief, so she touched her face and got up from the ground.
Suddenly, her face could not be seen, tears and snot and the dirt on her hands, her face was black and white, with a unique comedic effect.
Some of the villagers present couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, but they were afraid of Sister-in-law Chen's retaliation, so they quickly covered their mouths with their hands.
I couldn't hold back either, I hid behind Jiang Zhi, and my stomach hurt from laughing. I thought, we must collect Sister-in-law Chen's things, so we should pay her appearance fee.
Obviously, Sister-in-law Chen was used to seeing this kind of scene, and she didn't take the laughter next to her seriously at all, and quickly sued after standing up.
"Village chief, I'm not a scoundrel, they really bullied me, you ask the people present, just said that as long as the quality is good, they will accept it, but now they won't accept it. You're going to have to give me a critique. ”
She caught our speech and didn't let go. You have to sell us those bags of old rice.
The aunt didn't do it anymore, "Village chief, you also give us a review." We have all collected this, all the villagers can testify to us, Sister-in-law Chen just said to sell mountain goods, we are kind-hearted, we are all from a village, and we would rather fall into a group than leave one behind, so we will accept them all. But Sister-in-law Chen took a few bags of Chen rice and had to sell it to us, you said that my nephew came to our village to collect mountain goods, not grain, and we have food at home, so do you need to buy it from outsiders? Take a step back and say that even if you want to buy it, you don't want to buy it, the village chief, do you say that's the reason. We didn't repay our kindness, but we got into trouble! ”
When Sister-in-law Chen heard this, she quarreled with her aunt. One said I was selling mountain goods, and the other said we didn't collect grain.
The village chief frowned when he saw his aunt and sister-in-law Chen arguing, and he didn't say anything when he looked at us. In fact, his behavior has already explained his attitude, no matter how splashed this Chen Cuihua is, no matter how scoundrel he is, it is also from their village. Compared with those of us who have just arrived in the city, the distance between relatives and relatives can be immediately distinguished, and the village chief wants to help relatives or not. That's what you want us to buy.
In fact, it really doesn't matter to us whether we harvest this grain or not, and in the last days we will definitely have aged rice as a good thing and can be eaten. But if we accept her grain, and the other villagers follow suit and sell us the old rice from their homes, what will we do, will we accept it or not?
If you don't take it, the villagers will definitely not be happy. This is because he has made enemies for himself before he has lived in Tashan Village, and he can't do this.
Take it, we don't care, but what if they don't have food at home in the last days. At that time, there are a few more unreasonable people like Sister-in-law Chen, who are often looking for trouble, and our days will not be over. Although we are not sure whether we will come here when the end times are in danger outside, we still have to think ahead, and some things are better to say.
The village chief is also an old fritter, and he saw our faces and guessed what we thought. He said to the two people who were still arguing: "What are you arguing about, the people who received the goods didn't speak." Shut up. Then he turned around and asked Jiang Zhi: "Jiang Zhi, what do you think, tell me." ”
Jiang Zhi first said to Sister-in-law Chen: "Aunt Chen, if you have to sell it to me, then I can't help it, I will reluctantly accept it." ”
Chen Cuihua saw that Jiang Zhi finally gave in, and the smug look on her face was overflowing, and she almost danced.
Jiang Zhi continued, "However, you have to figure it out before you sell it to me. You have sold me all your family's grain, what if this year is bad and there is no harvest, and you come to me again to cry and say that I have lied to your grain? I hope that all the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, and the village chief in our village here today will testify to me, because she had to sell it to me on a pole, and I didn't want to buy it. Moreover, I also want to say to everyone present, if anyone still wants to sell me food, I will also accept it, but the situation is the same as Aunt Chen's, don't come to me again when there is really a disaster. ”
When Chen Cuihua heard Jiang Zhi say this, her first reaction was to spit three mouthfuls of foam into the ground. "Bah, bah, bah, don't shout in vain, our village has been smooth sailing for so many years, how can there be so many disaster years. Don't worry, my words count, and if I sell it, I sell it, and I don't bring it to the back account. ”
Jiang Zhi didn't care what Chen Cuihua said, he looked at the village chief, the village chief looked at him thoughtfully, and said to him after a while: "If she wants to sell, she will sell, the situation has been made clear to her, if she finds a future account, we can't tolerate her." ”
This is a guarantee for Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, just calculated with me that the things she sold were a total of 1,400 yuan, so I quoted her the price and the total price, and after checking that it was correct, he said, "Okay, you will come to my aunt's house tomorrow night to pick it up." ”
Chen Cuihua was unhappy again, "Don't give cash, what do you people in the city do, you don't have money to collect mountain goods." ”
I was so angry with her, did we look so easy to bully? I didn't speak all night, I didn't threaten her when I was a sick cat.
So I also followed Chen Cuihua's example and posed like a teapot. "This aunt, we've all been collecting all night, it's all like this, why can't you do it. What's the matter, you divide people into three, six, nine, and so on, that's what the landlord and old wealth do, and our family is all poor and middle peasants, and the roots are red. Besides, what's wrong with us being from the city, the people in the city have to run around with hundreds of thousands, which is too unreasonable. We explained to everyone before we received it, if we can trust us, we will accept it, pay the bill tomorrow night, and we will not be greedy for everyone's penny. But Aunt Chen, if you want cash, then don't sell it with us, we don't have any money today. ”
My last sentence is simply that no money is no money, and if you don't sell it, we don't want to accept it. As a people's teacher, he is still very good at presenting facts and reasoning. Didn't you say that we are landlords and old money, and we have divided people into three, six, nine and so on, and I will return the words to you now.
Chen Cuihua was so blocked by me that she couldn't speak. I didn't mention the money now.
When the village chief saw that the problem was solved, he let everyone disperse. But he stayed.
My aunt reintroduced us to the village chief, and we all called us "Uncle Village Chief".
After sitting on the kang in the house, the village chief and Jiang Zhi chatted. "Jiang Zhi, you are Lu Qing's nephew, and you are going to buy a house in our village, so my uncle won't treat you as an outsider, I'll say it straight if I have something to say." After saying the opening sentence and closing the distance, the village chief asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?" ”
Jiang Zhi thought about it, he might want to live in this village in the future, so he had to have a good relationship with the village chief. Besides, he didn't want the people in the village to sell all the grain. His daughter-in-law is soft-hearted and can't see people suffering, and if the people in the village don't have enough food and go hungry, they won't be able to do well themselves.
Thinking about this, he said to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, I can't say anything about this, so I haven't dared to say it." I didn't dare to tell my aunt, but like you said, we are all going to buy a house here, and we can be regarded as the villagers of our mountain village. I also hope that our village is good, or I will be sad here, no. He first explained to the village chief that his aunt's family didn't know yet, and then explained that since he had bought a house in the village, he was from the village. Then he said: "I have a friend who is a staff member of the Meteorological Research Institute in the capital, and we had dinner together a while ago, and he drank too much and said that it might be a change in the sky, but I didn't ask how it changed on this day, and I couldn't say that he was talking nonsense after drinking too much, and I didn't hear it mentioned in the news." This classmate of mine is quite young, but the teacher he followed was a well-known meteorologist in my country. I'm afraid that if there is a situation, we must also be prepared. After all, the current world is not good. ”
Then the village chief asked Jiang Zhi some questions, and Jiang Zhi and he were vague and had no clear answers.
The village chief didn't say anything, it seemed that he was going home to think about it. Before leaving, he said to us: "No matter what, if you want Lao Jiatou's house, it will still be at that price, that condition, you will go and see that house tomorrow morning, if you are optimistic, we will go through the formalities as soon as possible." ”
After the village chief left, it was already dark, and Jiang Zhi and I climbed up the stairs on the side of the house and climbed to the roof. When the houses here were built, they were all flat-roofed, and if the conditions were good in the future, they could add a two-story building on it, and now there are people in the village who are two-story small buildings. Even if it is not covered, you can spread a mat on the roof at night in the summer to lie on it and enjoy the coolness.
It's not hot yet, but we still want to see the scenery in the mountains at night.
We lay on our backs on the roof and saw the moon hanging high in the sky, round and big. The beautiful moonlight casts a silver glow on the silent mountain forest, the gentle moonlight shines in the river, the river looks more beautiful, and the sky is like a blue cloth inlaid with yellow "little gems", which is very lovely.
At this time, most of the families in the village are sleeping, and the night is quiet, quiet and charming.
I lay in Jiang Zhi's arms, trying to watch all this, hoping to imprint them in my heart. I don't know if I can see such beautiful mountains and forests again.
Jiang Zhi patted me, "We're going to buy a house here, and we'll have our home here in the future, as long as you want, no matter when, I will accompany you back." ”
I nodded in his arms. "And take our son with you."
"Good"
"And my son's grandparents, grandparents."
"Good"
"And my son's aunt and second aunt."
"Good"
"And ......"
"Good ......"
