"Since the eldest sister likes it, let's adopt it!" Zhang Yaohua said.

For their family, nothing else is important, the important thing is that the child has a good character, and the rest can be cultivated slowly. And character is sometimes innate.

Some people are naturally good, and some are born bad.

Therefore, "at the beginning of people, nature is good", and Xunzi's so-called "sex is evil", in fact, they are a bit one-sided.

Of course, character cannot be said to be innate, and growth experience will affect a person's character, which is not static.

However, there are also people who say that nature is hard to change.

"Do you think it's good, too?" The eldest sister asked happily.

Zhang Yaohua smiled bitterly: "Sister, you adopted it with your brother-in-law, not me, you think it's okay." ”

"Then we'll go to adopt and go through the formalities in the next two days."

Subsequently, the eldest brother-in-law and the second sister's husband talked about the business they were going to do. Zhang Yaohua listened from the sidelines and did not express much opinion.

In short, the funds are provided to you, and the rest is up to you.

"Eat here." Just when Zhang Yaohua was about to go back, the eldest aunt stayed.

The fourth sister and the fifth sister pulled Zhang Yaohua's arm.

The old man spoke: "Let's eat here!" Go back and have dragon meat? ”

Zhang Yaohua took out his mobile phone: "I'll tell my mother." ”

Because the two daughters came back with their husbands, the recent food of the uncle's mother's family was not bad.

The eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law take turns to buy vegetables, and they don't need to spend money on the eldest uncle at all.

After Zhang Yaohua returned after eating, the food had just been served at home.

"Eat more?" Zhang's father.

"I won't eat it."

"Just now, your uncle came over and asked you to go to the construction site of the processing plant tomorrow."

Zhang Yaohua was surprised: "What are you looking at?" ”

"During today's construction, I dug up the roots of the Bogong tree, and the work there was temporarily suspended." Zhang's father told the reason.

Bogong trees are very common in the south, and almost every village has one or two bogong trees, which are sacred beings and cannot be touched casually, and adults say that they will be unlucky.

Especially in places where the Hakka people live, the Bogong tree is more common.

When the ancestors chose a green mountain and green water to thrive, the reputable elders would make calculations and plant auspicious and prosperous green pines, ancient cedars, cypresses, or trees selected by the mountains as their sacrificial trees, and these sacrificial trees are often called "bogong trees".

As we all know, the Bogong tree cannot be cut down casually.

Even in that era of indiscriminate deforestation, no one dared to touch a piece of the bark of the "Bogong tree". This is not only due to the careful care of the ancestors, but also some miraculous legends, which have a good effect on the protection of trees.

The Bogong tree in their village is a 100-year-old banyan tree.

During the Chinese New Year, the villagers may also put a stick of incense on the Bogong tree.

Zhang Yaohua remembers that the Bogong tree is some distance away from the construction site, right? That's why people didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Now that the Bogong tree has been dug up, the first person to jump should be the old man in the village.

Soon after, the foreman of the construction team arrived.

to complain.

"Boss Zhang, you have to find a way! In fact, digging up a few roots has no effect on the tree itself. The foreman spoke.

The status of the Bogong tree, he knows.

It's not possible to move the tree anymore.

But you can't drag it all the time.

He had observed that the little root he dug up really had no effect.

Zhang Yaohua felt that something was wrong, and asked him: "Someone is making trouble?" ”

"Isn't it? The excavators are now all seized by them. ”

Zhang Yaohua was puzzled and asked again: "Didn't you say before that the foundation has been laid?" What else to dig? ”

"It's not the foundation, it's the road ahead, isn't it to be connected? Today I asked people to dig the roadbed first, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. "The foreman was also depressed.

Zhang Yaohua pondered for a moment, always feeling that someone wanted to do something.

"You go back first, I'll go and see it tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Yaohua rushed to the construction site.

On the way, I met the village chief.

"Director, you ...... too"

The village chief nodded: "Ah Hua, don't talk for a while, I'll deal with it, I want to see who is hindering the development of our village." ”

Hearing this, the village chief was obviously angry.

Get! Zhang Yaohua closed his mouth and watched the director play for a while.

At the scene, two young people took the lead, and a group of more than a dozen people were "theorizing", saying that building this road would damage the feng shui of their village and so on.

Zhang Yaohua noticed that the troublemakers were people with other surnames in the village.

Seeing this, he seemed to understand.

The main benefit of the processing plant is the person surnamed Zhang, and some people want to make a fuss if they don't get the benefits.

The village chief came behind them with a gloomy face: "Or, you will tell everyone again?" I didn't hear very clearly. ”

Those people turned around and saw the village chief, their expressions flickering a little.

The guy who gave a passionate speech just now is like a quail at this moment, and he can't say a complete sentence.

"Director, I think Ah Quan is not wrong, he dug up the roots of the Bogong tree, did it affect him?" A middle-aged man spoke.

The village director looked at him: "Chen Xu, I remember that the land in front of me is yours, right?" ”

"It's mine."

"When you hoe the ground every year, you don't hoe the roots of the Bogong tree? In my opinion! That piece of land is also not suitable for farming, which affects the Bogong tree and the feng shui of our village.

In this way, you will not plant from next year. ”

Reason with me? What rank are you?

"No, Director, what does it matter if I farm? That's my land. The man was in a hurry.

"Tell me, have you hoeed the roots of the Bogong tree?"

Chen Xu didn't speak.

How could it be that you didn't get a hoe?

The root system of the banyan tree is wide and shallow.

After scolding one person, the village chief looked at the others: "Anyone else who has an opinion, stand up." Who is leading this matter? ”

"Director, the subsidy for building this section of the road is too small."

Zhang Yaohua looked at the person who spoke, and it was one of the young people who took the lead.

That guy is younger than Zhang Yaohua, his name is Ah Quan, and he is one of the few thorns in the village.

Now, everyone understands.

Zhang Yaohua spoke: "Regarding compensation, I said it before, and I also signed it." If you are dissatisfied, why didn't you say it earlier? It's interesting to start construction now? ”

The village chief raised a hand and motioned for Zhang Yaohua not to speak.

This kind of thing, he stepped forward to deal with it best.

He had expected this to happen, so he came prepared, took out a stack of papers, and found one of them.

"You signed it, right? Do you want to keep making trouble? I hereby declare that the people who are causing trouble in the family today will not want it in the future, whether it is a processing plant or Ahua's fishing boat. ”

The village chief made a killer offer.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the troublemakers changed greatly.

"Director, Ah Hua! I didn't do anything today, I just came to join in the fun, it's none of my business! ”

"It was Ah Quan who pulled me, and I didn't want to make trouble."
