Chapter 006: The Yang Family's Old Mansion
Early the next morning.
A child's voice sounded outside the courtyard gate of the second uncle's house.
"Bullies are so handsome!"
Yang Rui hurriedly went out with a bag of toffee.
"I changed the rules today, I have to learn to memorize a poem with me, and I can recite it ten times in the village to get sugar."
Yang Rui's rebellion was not spurned by the naughty boys, on the contrary, the sweetness of the white rabbit toffee inspired their courage and bloodiness to face the challenge, and none of them flinched, all of them rushed up and surrounded Yang Rui tightly in the middle.
"Come, read with me:
The bully is the village head, and some in Gangnan speak;
Every household is 10,000 yuan, and everyone enters the factory. ”
It is easy to understand and catchy, and it is really a top-grade five-character quatrain.
The urchins learned with great interest, and after a few times, they memorized them all.
So, on this day in Gangnan Village, the children's learning attitude was quite positive, and the breakfast tables of every household sounded the sound of Lang Lang poetry.
At the second uncle's house, Yang Rui, who had breakfast, was ready to go out. The matter of repairing the grave of the grandmother can be handed over to the second uncle, but the reconstruction of the old house must be handled by himself.
Huang Dalong followed closely: "Brother Ba, do you want to use a truck today?" ”
Yang Rui stopped and turned around, stared at Huang Dalong and said, "Can you stop talking about a brother, you are older than me, if you are reluctant to call me brother, then remove my brother and call him by name directly." ”
Huang Dalong tried: "Ba ......"
Yang Rui nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Dalong is good......"
……
Gangdong Village.
Zhao Gongbo, the village head, was having breakfast, and several family descendants came to the door noisily.
"Uncle, we can't swallow this breath! The ferry originally belonged to our Zhao family, why did it give it to Gangnan Village? Don't you know, yesterday afternoon, for a truckload of goods from the Gangnan Village bully, a few of us were exposed to the sun for more than an hour. ”
"Uncle, the old man Liu who is in charge of the ferry is too disagreeable, the bully brought a truckload of goods onto the ship and didn't charge a penny, but what about us, it can't be enough to bring an extra pound of goods, I just complained, that bad old man actually wanted to whip me with a long pole."
"Uncle, you have to give the whole village an idea, you have to get the ferry back, and if you are stuck by Gangnan Village like this, the boys in our village are about to be unable to marry their daughters-in-law."
A few juniors, you said a word, and Zhao Gongbo was gloomy and frowned.
Zhaojiabu ferry, just by looking at the literal, you can know that this ferry originally belonged to the property of the Zhao family in his Gangdong Village, but it was returned to the public after liberation. However, the public family did not lose his Zhao family in Gangdong Village, and the right to operate the ferry was still allocated to Gangdong Village.
As for why he returned to Gangnan Village at the moment, Zhao Gongbo was also full of complaints in retrospect.
Fifteen years ago, the previous village chief of Gangnan Village, the third uncle of the Chen family, didn't know which tendon was drawn in his head, so he privately bought off the old township chief, and insisted on using the Xijiang fishery in Gangnan Village to trade the Zhaojiabu ferry in Gangdong Village.
At that time, he did make money from this deal. Although the ferry is important, but the income is not very good-looking, the price given by the public, the ferry only charges a dime, and the goods are free within ten catties, more than ten catties, and only one penny is charged for every ten catties more, and at the end of the day, at most it can fall down to twenty or so yuan. In terms of Xijiang fishery, eight fishing boats from Gangnan Village have been obtained, and they can catch an extra 100 catties of river fish every day.
In addition, hindering the face of the old village chief, Zhao Gongbo, who had just served as the head of Gangdong Village, agreed without much hesitation.
However, fifteen years later, this deal has become a loss in Gangdong Village, and there is no one left in his pants.
The price of boarding the ferry has risen to two cents per person, and the price of bringing goods has also doubled, and the number of people crossing the river and entering the city every day is increasing day by day, and the efficiency of the ferry has increased by twenty or thirty times compared with 15 years ago.
On the other hand, if we look at the Xijiang fishery, the fish in the river are less than one day a day, and a boat is tired and tired to work all day, and the fish caught are not as much as half of the previous ones. What's even more frustrating is that the government also stipulates a fishing ban period, and there are strange months of the year when you have to stay at home.
It's a matter of trying to get the ferry back!
It's not just these juniors who are nagging about this matter, they just represent the public opinion of the village, especially the elders of the Zhao family, who have already released their words, saying that if Zhao Gongbo can't take back the Zhaojiabu ferry, then at the end of the year, he will be replaced by a village chief who has the ability to take back the ferry.
The time is urgent, the task is arduous, how can he Zhao Gongbo not be worried?
Especially a few days ago, he had tested the tone of the current township head Tian Shaowu several times, but Tian Shaowu obviously favored Gangnan Village in this matter, and he always dodged his temptation left and right, and was not willing to touch it head-on at all.
These descendants of the Zhao family knew well about the uncle's embarrassment, and one of the older ones saw that the uncle was silent, so he proposed: "It's really not good, then let's use the method of the ancestors, the law is not responsible for the public, let's go up with the whole village together, and make things bigger, so I don't believe that the township will not come out to say a fair word." ”
A junior next to him chimed in: "The third brother is right, we have more than 2,000 people in Gangdong Village, and we are still afraid of his 1,000 people in Gangnan Village?" ”
When Zhao Gongbo heard this, he unconsciously narrowed his eyes, this proposal really entered his heart.
The Zhao family in Gangdong Village and the Chen family in Gangnan Village can be described as feuds, and there have been more than 100 conflicts in the past 200 years, and there are not a few people who have died in Huangquan for this. After the liberation, under the mediation of the public family, the two villages shook hands and made peace on the surface, but in their bones they still saw how the other party was unpleasant.
Come out with a big movement and see how the township leaders end!
Just as Zhao Gongbo was about to speak, the young junior who was sitting at the bottom of the house preemptively said: "This matter still has to be done before yesterday, but yesterday afternoon, the bully has returned!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence when he went around.
yes, the bullies are back!
With that guy in charge, Gangnan Village must have high morale, and on his side, there are almost no people who can keep their calves and stomachs from turning when facing bullies...... If this battle is put on the table, it must be his own Gangdong Village that suffers losses and loses face.
How do you make things bigger?
After a moment of silence, Zhao Gongbo suddenly smiled.
"Isn't it a classmate of a bully?"
The young student sitting at the bottom of the house hummed, not only did he have classmates, but he was also beaten by bullies.
"If you think of a way to hide from the people in Gangnan Village and bring a message to the bully, just say that I want to invite him to dinner, as long as you can invite the bully over, Uncle will have a way to keep the bully neutral."
Why me?
On a hot day, the fine boy couldn't help but shudder. But in front of several brothers in the family, the fine boy was embarrassed to show timidity, so he had to nod silently with tears.
……
The piglet was just fat, not stupid at all, and it only took half an hour to learn to ride a motorcycle.
Later, the bright red Happiness 250 began to roam the alleys of the village.
"Brother bully wants to build a new house! Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, so hurry up and sign up to help with the work! ”
There is still more than a month left to the summer harvest, and it is the leisure stage of the villagers, and many people can't help but go out to explore:
"What about wages?"
"Six yuan for small workers, ten yuan for large workers, including two meals."
Hearing this, he was instantly shocked.
When you go to the construction site in the city, the small workers are given a maximum of two and a half yuan, and the big workers are also skilled workers, and it is amazing to drive to four yuan a day, which is still the price of only covering and not eating. Even if you go to the provincial capital, the salary is only three or five cents, and if you work in ten miles and eight villages, the salary standard has to be discounted by eight percent compared with the city.
What's more important is that whether it is in the city or the provincial capital, including these ten miles and eight villages, people who want to work are grabbed by a lot, and they can't earn this money without a way.
The price of the bully's salary, even with the lantern, can't find a second one!
Someone else asked: "Are the people of the Chen family, are the bullies willing to use it?" ”
The piglet replied loudly: "Yes, definitely willing!" My bully brother said that he is surnamed Yang in Gangnan Village, and the villagers don't treat him as an outsider, he will definitely treat the villagers as relatives. ”
Some people expressed doubts: "How much work can it take to build a new house?" The bully's elbow must be turned in, only if he has a good relationship. ”
Piglet cast a disdainful look: "My bully brother wants to build a big new house, covering an area of nearly one acre, one floor underground, three floors above ground, of course, the more labor, the better." ”
Before the words fell, a staggering sound sounded in all directions.
It covers an area of one acre, with one basement and three floors above ground...... The office buildings in the township are not so magnificent!
The old house of the Yang family in the west of the village is even more dilapidated than three years ago, with two holes leaking from the roof, cobwebs everywhere in the house, the door panel has long been gone, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds.
Huang Dalong held a Pearl River S-201 SLR camera and kept taking pictures, long-range, close-up, and local close-ups...... It's a lot of fun.
Yang Rui frowned and reprimanded: "Are you so tired?" Can you stop for a while? "This goods are running from east to west, and the people who look at them are dizzy.
"For a while... Son, Brother Ba, don't say it, your son's pronunciation is more standard than that of northerners, I can't learn it. "Huang Dalong has a hippie smile, and he doesn't take Yang Rui's scolding seriously at all." Stand still! Brother Ba, just like that......" Huang Dalong grabbed an angle, clicked, and even took the house into the camera.
Yang Rui smiled bitterly and scolded: "Boring! ”
Huang Dalong Zhenzhen argued: "You don't understand! Just these photos, put aside for twenty or thirty years...... Hey, the photo of the former residence of the richest man in China, which magazine he sells it to, and he can't make a windfall? As he spoke, Huang Dalong clicked at Yang Rui several times, and Mei Zizi continued: "In the future, my son's money for marrying his daughter-in-law will be gone......
Yang Rui kicked Huang Dalong's buttocks: "The gun shot the first bird, why don't you talk to me about the richest man in the future, besides, I have that heart, but I don't have that life." ”
Huang Dalong covered his ass and smiled: "Do you know what my nickname is?" Daisen! Wong tai sin! I said you have this life, you have to have this life. ”
