Chapter 170: Tashan Village Boss Meeting (Three Watches)
Early the next morning, Jiang Zhi personally invited a few people to our house to discuss things. There is no one in the village committee all year round, so there is no heating equipment or anything, and now it is too cold to stay there, so I invited people to our house. Because it was to discuss the affairs of the village, the elderly and children in our family automatically avoided it, leaving only me, the wife of the village chief, as a representative to entertain the guests.
Those who came were all from the village, and they were more convincing people.
As soon as everyone entered the house, Jiang Zhi beckoned me to come out to entertain everyone.
"Daughter-in-law, come and pour some tea for your uncles and eldest brothers."
"Hey." I heard movement in the back room, so I took a pot of hot tea that had just been brewed and a few clean cups on a tray, brought it out, said hello to everyone, and poured a cup of tea.
Then he went back to the house and brought them melon seeds, candy, and so on.
"Jiang Zhi's daughter-in-law, don't be busy, we are not outsiders, what are you polite." It was Zhang Fanyu's father who spoke, Lao Zhangtou, we met when Sun Jun's house had a pig killing banquet.
"It's nothing, the conditions are not good now, and there is nothing to entertain everyone, uncle, don't dislike it." I'm kind enough to say.
"Haha, there's nothing yet? This can be said to be the first in our village, we came today to satisfy our hunger, this has not eaten frozen plows and sugar cubes for more than a year, this looks quite greedy. "It was Liu Yujun from the village who spoke, in his 40s, he had a hand in electrical repair, and anyone in the village had a little problem with their electrical appliances or something, they all looked for him. Listening to Jiang Zhi, he is not bad. He was not polite as he spoke, and picked up a slow frozen plow from his plate. And gnawed on.
"Brother Liu, you're welcome, this plough is the pear tree in our yard this year, it's sweet, my mother-in-law is afraid that she won't be able to keep it, and it was frozen when it just snowed, and it was quite delicious." When I leave later, I'll decorate all of you and go home for my aunt, sister-in-law, and children. "It used to be worthless to have a frozen plow. That's a good time too.
Originally, basically every family in the village would plant a few fruit trees in their yards, but later when the living conditions improved, no one pointed to the fruits on the fruit trees to satisfy their hunger, if they wanted to eat. It's sold all over the street. So most families cut down the fruit trees in their yards.
Our fruit trees are not the original, we planted them when we rested the house two years ago, and there is a pomegranate tree, a persimmon tree, and a jujube tree in the yard. Last summer there was a drought, but we didn't lose any of them, so they worked hard. And the fruit is also very sweet, and the fruit cannot be eaten. I froze, and I could eat frozen plows and frozen persimmons, which was another taste.
The people who came today can be said to be acquaintances, and they are people that Jiang Zhi can look at, and I guess they haven't eaten these fruits for a long time, so they took them out to entertain guests.
"And this tea is also good, everyone try it, I bought it before, my father and my father-in-law both said it was good."
When Li Yujun heard me say this, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it to the bottom.
I had a far-fetched smile on my face, I really didn't mean that, but I picked up the teapot anyway and filled it up for him.
Just when I was greeting Liu Yujun, Jiang Zhi also started a topic on his side.
"Everyone knows what happened last night, Zhang Wanfu's food was robbed of most of it by six men on bicycles, but fortunately, these people only wanted money and did not hurt anyone, so they were spared bloodshed.
But I thought about it all night last night, and I was not at ease in my heart, so I invited you here today to ask if you have any opinions. Jiang Zhi briefly explained what happened at Zhang Wanfu's house yesterday, and then said the purpose of looking for everyone today.
"Hey, now this society is too chaotic, it can be said that a year is not as good as a year, last year it was just a few gangsters in the county who sneaked over to steal chickens and dogs, and this year it has developed into a bright robbery, and I don't know what it will develop into in the future." It was Zhou Jianguo, who was in his 60s, who had farmed all his life and was a good farmer. He sighed and said: "Hey, my life is a hard life, I experienced war when I was a child, but our country has been liberated, the society is stable, and I work hard in the ground every day, thinking that as long as I can endure hardships, this day will definitely be better and better, but it hasn't been a few days of good life, and I have caught up with these things when I am old." Ay! Zhou Jianguo sighed at his hard life.
"Lao Zhou is right, yesterday I went back and told my wife about Zhang Wanfu's family, and my old woman didn't sleep well all night, always thinking about where to hide the grain at home. I'm afraid that bad people will come to the family and rob all the food in the family, so we don't have to live as a family. Lao Zhang Tou also sighed, coming out of Zhang Wanfu's food robbery incident, everyone in Tashan Village will be in danger for a period of time.
"Uncle Zhang, my aunt thinks too much, how bold they are, they dare to come. If they come again, our entire village won't be able to let him, it's too arrogant. Jiang Zhi, don't you say? It was Chen Ming's brother Chen Hao who spoke. He used to be a strong competitor for the village chief, and he was a very capable person. At this time, he said a comforting word dryly.
Before Jiang Zhi could speak, Uncle Qin, who was sitting next to him, spoke: "It's because you think less, Xiao Hao, if you go hunting in the forest and find a dead rabbit under a tree, then when you go back to hunting, do you still want to go to the tree to go around, if you can't get it, you can still have a harvest, this is also the reason." This time, this group of people made so much food without any effort, if they finished eating, do you think they would come? ”
Chen Hao listened to Uncle Qin's words, and then fell silent, it is estimated that he also figured it out, there is nothing that those people dare to dare to, they did it for the first time, and there will be countless times later.
"Then let's just wait, wait for people to finish eating, and then come and grab us? We have worked so hard to grow that food, and I haven't eaten a few bites of it, so if I rob them of it, I will die of distress. Uncle Guo sat on the sofa and frowned.
"Therefore, today, we invite all the capable people in our village to sit together and discuss and see if we can come up with a good way to prevent this kind of incident from happening in the future." Jiang Zhi took over the conversation.
After listening to Jiang Zhi's words, everyone was silent again, frowning and thinking hard.
Jiang Zhi picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, handed one to everyone present, and lit it again, and then there was a living room where people were spitting clouds.
I couldn't stand it anymore, and went to the kitchen to get more than 10 large potatoes, and put them in the living room and brazier to roast.
"I think we have to remind the villagers that we have to be vigilant in the future, there is movement outside, and we have to see who is opening the door." Uncle Guo said.
Everyone nodded their heads.
"This is a must, you can't let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes, and you have to remind the whole village to pay more attention to the movements of the neighbors, if you find something wrong, call people immediately, I don't believe that the whole village is on me, and I can't clean up those gangsters." Chen Hao still pursues crowd tactics. Even those few bad guys, even the people in the village can wipe them out with a hoe.
"Zhang Wanfu's house was robbed so easily, I think part of the reason is that the courtyard wall of their house is still the original wooden fence, which was made many years ago, not to mention those robbers who are strong and strong, even I, the old man, can kick the courtyard door open." If their house is a brick and stone wall like Lao Jiang's house, it will not be easy for the gang of robbers to enter the yard, let alone the house, don't you say? Zhou Jianguo also expressed his opinion.
"Yes, these old years, the village is also peaceful, so he has nothing to do with the original kind of wooden fence, but now the world is in chaos, and the courtyard wall is a wooden fence to tell the thief, this house is easy to rob." Uncle Zhang also said.
"Then we have to hurry up and let the people who are still wooden walls quickly change to masonry." Liu Yujun said.
"This matter is still in a hurry, this day is cold, even if we are in a hurry to start construction, but now the outside hands can't stretch out, how to build the wall, and the ground is also frozen, can't be planed at all, the most important thing is that we don't have construction materials in our hands now." Jiang Zhi spoke about the current difficulties.
Uncle Guo nodded and said, "It seems that if you want to repair the wall, it will have to be after the beginning of spring next year." ”
Everyone began to think hard again, and I refilled the tea for everyone at the right time. I just observed, only Lao Zhangtou and Uncle Qin can still taste the fragrance of tea slowly, and the others pick it up as a beef drink.
You know, the tea I brewed today is the only tea tree grown in the space, I have studied with the tutorial for a long time, and I also learned to fry the tea myself, usually for Jiang Dad and Qu Dad to drink, they all like it very much.
I secretly thought, these people are really bold, they should pursue the theory that Northeast people eat meat and drink a lot of wine, so they also drink tea in a big gulp.
"Actually, I think one of the fundamental reasons for this is that Zhang Wanfu is not skilled. If Zhang Wanfu has the skills of yours, then let alone a few robbers, even if there are a few more, he can't touch a penny of his family. Chen Hao thought about it and said to Jiang Zhi.
They have all seen Jiang Zhi's power several times, and they know that Jiang Zhi is very energetic and has good knife skills, in short, he is skilled, at least not compared to them farmers who dig in the soil.
I agree with what he said, if someone in our family comes to rob him, then we will keep him and not come back, and in the end I don't know who robs whom.
"I agree with Chen Hao's words, this Zhang Wanfu is really bearish, he has a lot of strength, why don't you support it, let the family restrain it." Liu Yujun's thoughts were similar to Li Cheng's, and they both felt that Zhang Wanfu's combat effectiveness was too weak.
"What are you talking nonsense, Jiang Zhi has been specially trained, what Zhang Wanfu knows, he will farm, if you give him a hoe, he can still know how to use it, if you give him a knife, he won't use it." Uncle Qin listened to Liu Yujun's words and hurriedly stopped him, afraid that he would say something unpleasant. (To be continued......)
