These days, Liudou and Goudan are busy with two things.

Aoli has successively set up lime factories, brick factories, and now cement factories, and the scale is one after another. Repairing factories, building yards, digging soil and brick blanks, and digging mountains and stones all occupy the villagers' space. Moreover, all the funds in the early days of the village factory were also raised by the whole village. For these, the uniform regulations of the Ao Li are as follows: the entire land to be occupied is evenly distributed to each household, which is regarded as a part of the shares, and the factory takes a certain percentage of the profits every year as dividends for these shares. Ao Li people can go to work in the factory, or they may not go, but if they do not enter the factory to do things, they will not be able to enjoy the various benefits of the village factory, and can only share the share of the surplus.

The entire Qian family is doing this door to door, and no one says anything bad, except for Xiaobao's mother, a famous goddess. According to the rules agreed by the village collective, Xiaobao's family should also set aside two acres of paddy fields, three acres of dry land and six acres of stone forests for the use of the village collective. But Xiaobao's mother doesn't care about this, she doesn't sign an agreement, she doesn't enter the shares in the factory, she doesn't divide the red in the factory, and she doesn't say anything about everyone's interests.

Previously, Xiaobao's mother was reluctant to draw out the land, and Liudou also tolerated it. But this time, Xiaobao's family has a piece of land that happens to be on the construction site of the cement factory. Xiaobao's mother didn't give in no matter what, and she refused to draw out the land. Liudou said that it is okay not to divide the land, and it is okay to agree to transfer the land, and Liudou promised to transfer the land from the village collective to twice the large area of a piece of land with Xiaobao's family, so that the difference of 400 yuan per mu is also replenished every year. Xiaobao's land was originally uncultivated, and her mother was away all year round, and the land was barren for two crops of rice a year. This method of adjusting the ground can really be described as changing tiles for porcelain. But Xiaobao's mother just didn't do it, and scolded Liudou, saying that if he destroyed the feng shui in the col, he would definitely harm his children and grandchildren, and cut off his children and grandchildren.

"Liudou, Xiaobao's mother is just trying to save face, can you just apologize to him?" Father Qian watched Xiaobao grow up since she was a child, and he couldn't bear her and her mother, and always wanted to help them reconcile.

"Fifth uncle, how can I apologize to her? After so many years, I'm not so angry with her, pretending to be a ghost! The green tendons on Liudou's neck bulged out one by one.

"It's not the time to remember when you arrested her to the township government that year, and this knot must be resolved." Daddy Qian persuaded Liudou.

Liudou was speechless, he sat down in his chair, lit a cigarette, stretched his legs, and stretched his arms.

"Actually, it's not a big deal for me to be with Xiaobao's mother, the villagers in the big hometown have been for decades, if she is willing to follow the village collective, I don't have anything personal, fifth uncle, you can persuade her."

"Hey, it's Xiaobao who suffers." Daddy Qian said, "Look at that house, the next time it's windy, it will fall." ”

"yes, it's a bad kid."

"She is the sister-in-law of the family, for the sake of the old brother who went early, you promised the fifth uncle that he would never lose his temper next time, begged her in a low manner, and let her give this share, just think about Xiaobao's future days." Daddy Qian has six beans.

"Fifth uncle, you are really like a bodhisattva, if you don't have a good life, don't worry, the old nephew listens to you, I beg her next time."

Liudou looked at Daddy Qian's face and agreed. But after Xiaobao's mother returned to the col, she usually rarely showed up, and no one knew how she would spend her days alone in the house. If Liudou wants to talk to her, he has to go to her house. Liudou deliberately scooped out two catties from the home-brewed medicinal wine and carried it to Xiaobao's house.

Seeing Xiaobao sitting outside under the sun, Liudou guessed that Xiaobao's mother was not at home.

Xiaobao saw that Liudou called "uncle" very affectionately, and Liudou smiled and asked, "Is your mother out?" ”

"Oh my mother, she went out early in the morning with a compass and went to the reservoir. Uncle, sit down, I'll go find my mother and come back. ”

Xiaobao got up and gave Liudou the chair, "No need, I'll go find it myself, and discuss something with her by the way." Liudou asked Xiaobao to sit down, "It's okay, you sit, Uncle can go by himself." ”

Liudou arrived at the reservoir, looked at the blue water under his feet, and then thought about the changes that have taken place in Qian Jiaao over the years, and couldn't help but feel thousands of emotions and pride in his heart. Qian Jiaao poured Liudou's sweat, hard work and all his experience and wisdom.

Liudou didn't see Xiaobao's mother on the dam, so he got down from the dam and found Xiaobao's mother by the canal. She was holding the compass in both hands, looking at it very seriously. As soon as he saw Xiaobao's mother's appearance, Liudou's anger didn't come to one place.

"Sister-in-law." Six Beans screamed.

Xiaobao's mother didn't pay attention to it silently, and left the six beans there. Liudou had already guessed that there would be such an embarrassing scene, but he didn't care much about it, thinking that as long as he could convince Xiaobao's mother today, it would be worth being angry with her.

"Sister-in-law." Liudou screamed again, and Xiaobao's mother couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so she had to reluctantly respond.

"Discuss something with you?"

"Tell me something, I still have something to do." The little mother looked very impatient.

"It's not a big deal." Liudou noticed that things were not easy to handle today, "I brought you some rice wine." Liudou lifted the wine in his hand up so that Xiaobao's mother could see it.

"What kind of identity am I, I can't afford it." Xiaobao's mother doesn't care where Liudou's face should go.

"Why do you say that?" Liudou was a little moved again, "What was before, today I came with wine......"

"Okay, let's talk about something, I'm in a good mood today. Don't spoil my fun. Xiaobao's mother waved her hand impatiently and interrupted Liudou's words.

Liudou held back the anger that was about to come up, "Okay, then I'll tell you directly." The cement factory run by the village collective, because of the need for land, wants to use the dry land of your family, and it is done according to the rules agreed by everyone. ”

"That's the rule you set, it has nothing to do with me, if you want to beat my idea, don't be delusional." Xiao Baoma's tone was not negotiable. She tossed the compass into her backpack, "Even if I'm starving, you don't want to get that piece of land." I'd rather leave it in the middle of nowhere. ”

"You!" Liudou was so angry that his beard was shaking, "What kind of anger are you fighting with me!" He threw the flask in his hand to the ground, the flask shattered, and the rice wine spilled the back of his shoes.

When Xiaobao's mother saw Liudou's angry appearance, she was very happy in her heart, and threw Liudou there with a snort.

Liudou's negotiation ended in failure, and he lost face in front of his old enemy, and wasted two catties of fine medicinal wine.

According to the rules, if the invitation to shares and the land transfer are unsuccessful, for the sake of collective interests, a village-wide meeting must be convened to discuss whether the land transfer should be compulsory. As soon as Liudou returned to the village, he asked Goudan to call all the other village cadres in the col, and everyone discussed how to deal with this tricky "goddess". After discussing for a long time, everyone finally decided to draw up an agreement in the name of the village committee, and after all the village cadres signed, whether Xiaobao's mother was willing to sign it or not, in short, the land would be used by the public after giving her the agreement. Xiaobao's mother is a land transfer or a shareholder, it is all up to her to decide. If she didn't want to, the village would give her the market price of grain.

Liudou decided to talk to Xiaobao's mother before showing her the agreement, and if the village's decision was affected because of the personal grudge between the two, he would feel uneasy. Before going to talk to Xiaobao's mother, Liudou first did one thing - recruiting Xiaobao into the factory to do things, and it was a very easy job. Xiaobao is very happy, and she also hopes that her mother can settle down and stay in the col to do something, and stop doing things outside every day.

Xiaobao's mother is a nail in the eyes of the cadres of Qianjiaao Village, and all the village cadres want to pull out this nail, but everyone knows that this nail is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As long as he doesn't ride on his head, no one can provoke him. Xiaobao's mother is a well-known goddess, and catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits is her ability to make a living, but now it is not as good as before, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in this set, and there are even fewer people who are willing to spend money on it. This is a very interesting thing, when people are poor, even if they are so poor that they can't open the pot, they never skimp on spending money on feudal superstitions. Now I have a few dollars in my pocket, but I have forgotten all about it.

When Liudou arrived at Xiaobao's house, the door was open, and Xiaobao's mother was meditating in the house. Xiao Bao's so-called meditation has always been used to decorate the façade, and every time she meditates, she will always put herself in the middle of the hall facing the door, lest others not see it.

"Sister-in-law" Liudou called out very usually.

Xiaobao's mother heard Liudou call her and thought about how to deal with him. She didn't speak, waiting quietly for what he had to say next.

"Sister-in-law, I know that there are many contradictions between us, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong." Liudou found a stool and sat down, ready to fight a protracted battle with Xiaobao's mother.

Xiaobao's mother was very calm, and she was ready to spend it with Liudou first. In this way, Liudou really couldn't hold his breath, "Sister-in-law, don't get along with me like this, it's not good for you." "Six beans are in the words, both soft and hard.

Xiaobao's mother was laughing in her heart, "Liudou, Liudou, even if you are old and treacherous, see what you can do to me." ”

"Sister-in-law, the village research has decided." Liudou took out the agreement, "I advise you to think about it carefully, think about it for Xiaobao, think about it for your family, and it would be best if things can be discussed and resolved." ”

"There's nothing to discuss between us."

"Well, since you're so desperate, I can't help it." Liudou put the agreement on the table where Xiaobao's mother was meditating, "The village has decided, whether you sign it or not, the village collective will act according to the terms of the agreement." After saying that, Liudou was ready to leave.

Xiaobao's mother didn't even look at it, grabbed the agreement and tore it to shreds, "You bastards, sooner or later there will be retribution." ”

"Actually, I didn't have to look for you again. But I looked at Xiaobao and felt uncomfortable. Have you thought about Xiaobao? Did she have a good day with your bastard mom? Liudou saw that Xiaobao's mother tore up the agreement, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

"That's my business, don't worry about it, Xiaobao and I are doing well, she has never been unhappy."

"That's Xiaobao sensible, you should cherish having such a daughter."

"Xiaobao is my daughter, how I treat her has nothing to do with you. Get out of here! ”

"Okay, I'm done, no matter what you think, for the sake of the collective, that piece of land will be decided." Liudou knew that it would be in vain to continue talking. Before he came, he also expected such a result, and this trip was just to seek peace of mind for himself.

"Get out!" Xiaobao's mother once again issued an eviction order.

The village chief, Liudou, had to leave.
