73 Chapter 73
There are dozens of households in a village, of course, it is impossible for everyone to agree with one heart, but if it is contrary to the collective, it will definitely be complained about in the brigade, just like Zhao Laoer's family before.
No one wanted to be unhappy in the village, so as a result, Zhao Ke said something, and the entire brigade was busy. Xu Cheng went all the way home and saw those old and young people in and out of the courtyard, all cleaning up, and he was very depressed.
When he got home, he found that his parents and wife were also busy working, and the bad mood was written directly on his face.
Vice Captain Xu was holding a sickle in his hand, cutting branches, preparing to mend the wooden fence, and casually said to his son: "Why did you come back, come and help the handle."
Xu Cheng paused in place for a moment, walked over obediently, and helped his father hold the branch.
Deputy Captain Xu said: "Zhao Ke said that tomorrow Zhao Pingping's target house will come to the door, if you pick up half of it and make a mess, the image of our brigade will not be good, and after finishing the fence in a while, you will pull the branches outside into the yard."
Xu Cheng was unhappy, and his tone showed a little sourness, "Dad, why are you too long and short Zhao Ke now, she is a little girl, don't hold it too much, and float up again." "
In front of his father, he is a "good" son in every sense of the word.
When Xu Cheng was a child, Vice Captain Xu saw that the old captain and the former women's captain Liu Sannier strongly supported the children in the family to study, and constantly instilled in his son the concept of "study hard".
But Xu Cheng thought a lot from the heart, and slowly developed the character of loving the drill camp, but he didn't work hard and pretended to work hard, and he didn't get into the commune junior high school for three years because of various "accidents".
Although Vice Captain Xu was disappointed, he only thought that his son was unlucky, and after Xu Cheng said that "I don't want to add more burden to the family, I can continue to study at home in the future", he gave up and let him continue to take the exam.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Ke hadn't read it at that time, he hadn't entered the factory, and the people in the village who had read a little bit of books were just staying in the village to pick up his father's class.
Moreover, Xu Cheng's consistent clever and thoughtful performance is enough for Vice Captain Xu to be proud of, and he firmly believes that he is not inferior to Zhao Rui, the son of the captain.
Zhao Ke came out.
Vice Captain Xu is sometimes jealous of Zhao Jianguo and Yu Xiulan, why did he give birth to such a girl, and he will sigh, Zhao Ke is too bright, as long as she is there, the captain's son and his son will look mediocre.
However, now it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Zhao Ke's position in the future will not actually affect Vice Captain Xu to let Xu Cheng take over him.
Vice Captain Xu comforted his son: "In next year's election, I will tell the captain to retire, you don't have emotions, and it will be good for you to take over as vice captain in the future."
Xu Cheng's eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, and he was silently unwilling: "Why can I only be the vice captain......" People in their early thirties are incapable and have a very high opinion of themselves.
The father and son re-clamped the wooden fence, it was already dark, and the more Xu Cheng cleaned up the rotten branches and leaves outside, the more uncomfortable he became, and when he returned to the house, he lost his temper with his daughter-in-law Ding Qiaoqiao, who brought him water and washed his hands.
"The water is so cold, won't you mix some hot water!"
The water is beaten out and left for a long time, and it is not cold at all.
In fact, it was because she disliked that she didn't know a single word, Ding Qiaoqiao was used to it, and scooped a scoop of hot water with low eyebrows and poured it in. Xu Cheng washed his hands impatiently, tired of not wanting to look at his wife more.
Ding Qiaoqiao stood quietly next to him, waiting for him to finish washing his hands and handing him a hand towel.
Xu Cheng glanced at her rough fingers with disgust, and dragged away the handcloth from afar.
Ding Qiaoqiao cowardly kept silent, poured out the dirty water, and whispered to him to eat.
In the kitchen, the six members of the Xu family sat together, and Ding Qiaoqiao quietly took care of the family to eat.
The eldest granddaughter of the Xu family is ten years old, and the youngest grandson is seven years old, but the older generation wants to have more children and more blessings, and Xu Cheng's mother often says: "You two are still young, don't care about the girl's son, make every effort to have another ......"
Ding Qiaoqiao buried his head low, not shy, but silent. Xu Cheng directly refused: "Just have two."
In fact, since the birth of his son, Xu Cheng has only had a time with Ding Qiaoqiao for a long time, in recent years, as Ding Qiaoqiao gets older, people get older and become unsightly, and the frequency is getting lower and lower, Xu Cheng sleeps far away from her, and obviously doesn't want to touch her.
It's been more than half a year since the two last time.
Vice Captain Xu and his wife are very satisfied with Ding Qiaoqiao, a filial and capable daughter-in-law, but Xu Cheng doesn't want to give birth, his mother just chatters a few words, and will not complain about his daughter-in-law.
Xu Cheng's mother saw her daughter-in-law hanging her head and changed the topic: "The literacy class has been stopped for a while, and I don't know when it will be reopened." Deputy Captain Xu is a cadre of the brigade, and he asked his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to also go to literacy.
And Xu Cheng listened to his mother's words, but he said disapprovingly: "I think she learns in vain." Vice Captain Xu taught a lesson: "You have to take over my shift in the future, you can't have this kind of thinking." Xu Cheng shut up.
Ding Qiaoqiao never spoke in front of her husband, and she didn't get along with her in-laws as depressingly as she got along with her husband......
Today, Zhao Jianfa and his wife took a morning off and did not go to work. Zhao Xiaocao also wanted to stay at home.
She will take the junior high school exam next year, and Zhao Pingping will not allow her to miss class. Zhao Xiaocao could only pout
Go to school.
Zhao Ke and Zhao Wumao sat in the hall in advance, and chatted a few words about the situation of the Ma family before the Ma family arrived.
The Liuhezi Brigade was a little richer than the Zhao Cun'er Brigade, and they were the first to raise pigs in several nearby brigades.
Last year, Yang Fei and her mother went back to visit relatives at their parents' home in the Liuhezi Brigade, and when they came back, they blew under the old locust tree that the Liuhezi Brigade was in good condition, and mentioned that a sow in the Liuhezi Brigade had a litter of cubs.
Captain Zhao Xinshan listened to it and went to the Liuhezi Brigade to buy two piglets, which led to the two pigs of the Zhao Cuner Brigade that were about to be slaughtered.
The Ma family's house was built three years ago, and a wedding house was specially built for the second son Ma Sheng. According to the Ma family, when the two get married, they can give 20 yuan as a bride price.
This kind of condition is good, they don't want Ma Sheng to live in Zhao Cun'er Brigade with Zhao Pingping after getting married, which is normal. At around nine o'clock, Ma Sheng's parents, eldest brother and Ma Sheng himself went to Zhao Village.
Zhao Cun'er's pigsty was cleaned up and there was no peculiar smell, and when Zhao Pingping and others were waiting, they worked in the pigsty with Aunt Zhu. When the Ma family went to the village to meet Zhao Pingping, they inevitably took a look at the pig. More than 30 pigs, the breeder served carefully, all of them slippery.
Father Ma really complimented: "It's very good-looking."
Mother Ma glanced at the pigsty and said, "It's not as big as the pigs in our village, so it's too early to sell them."
The size of the head depends on the month, and the pigs in the Zhao Cun'er Brigade have only been raised for a few months.
Some people want to have the upper hand when talking about marriage.
Aunt Zhu smiled intentionally or unintentionally and said: "Our brigade is less affected this year, so we are not in a hurry, we plan to raise enough fat to sell more money next year, and the members can pay more dividends."
When Yang Fei's mother's family came to borrow grain, they said that the Liuhezi Brigade was seriously affected this year and planned to sell all the pigs. In comparison, the strength of the Zhao Cun'er Brigade is no worse than that of the Liuhezi Brigade now, and it is likely to surpass the Liuhezi Brigade next year. Of course, the people of the Liuhezi Brigade did not agree with this statement.
The parents and eldest brother of the Ma family followed Zhao Pingping and Ma Sheng to their homes, and saw that every household in Zhao Village was neater than the last time, and the roads in the village were smoother than before.
The heart keeps sinking.
Zhao Pingping's younger brother also went to be a soldier..
Of course, the Ma family hopes that their daughter-in-law's family will be strong, but they don't want their daughter-in-law's family to be too strong. The two families met, and the two sides greeted each other, mainly because Zhao Ke and the Ma family knew each other. Zhao Xiaocao had Zhao Ke's good words hanging in his mouth all day long, and Ma Sheng told the whole family.
The Ma family knew that Zhao Cun'er's women's director was young, but when they really saw it, they were still surprised
She's too young. Then when Ma's father and mother thought of this, they thought that this women's director was here, because of Zhao Pingping's outrageous request, and they smiled a little
grudging
After greeting each other, everyone sat down one after another.
Zhao Jianfa and his wife are not eloquent, and today's main spokespersons are Zhao Ke and Zhao Wumao.
Zhao Wumao praised the Ma family and the couple: "I used to look at Ma Shenghao, who is good-tempered, filial, and capable...... You husband and wife are well taught.
Everyone loves to listen to good words, and the Ma family and his wife are happy.
But today's purpose is to discuss marriage, and the Ma family husband and wife get straight to the point: We all like Pingping's child, we should have when we get married, we will not give anything less to Pingping, we have already built the house, and we will have a separate house to live in when we get married. This condition ...... Fifth aunt, Pingping's parents, didn't you say it? It is unreasonable to ask my second child to move to Zhao Village.
Zhao Jianfa's concept of husband and wife, the daughter should go to her mother-in-law's house when she gets married, but Zhao Pingping has the right idea, and the brigade now also wants to increase the population, so they can only go along with it.
Now that the Ma family and his wife say this, they all feel that it makes sense, and they can't say anything, they can only glance at Zhao Ke and Zhao Wumao.
Zhao Wumao smiled kindly, and echoed the Ma family couple: "Yes, Pingping is my niece and granddaughter, your family is not good, how can I introduce the child."
When the Ma family and his wife heard this, they thought that the matchmaker agreed with them, and their expressions relaxed slightly.
At this time, Zhao Ke asked out loud: "I heard that Brother Ma's second child is about to be born?" The boss of the Ma family subconsciously replied: "Yes, it's been seven months."
Zhao Ke chatted: I heard that the big one is a kid, and this is another one, can you stay?
Mother Ma was instantly vigilant and said, "Why can't you stop, what about the two-meter kang, and besides, my eldest grandson is a big one, he can live with us."
Zhao Wumao said: "It's okay when I'm young, but it's not convenient for the child to grow up to be a teenager."
Ma Mu immediately said: "There are more families living on the same kang, so there is nothing to pick, right? Besides, if we save money in the future, we will definitely build a new house.
Zhao Ke asked directly: "Do you want your two sons to have their own houses?" This brings us to the issue of the brothers' separation.
Before the marriage was concluded, the family was separated, and the Ma family's parents were a little reluctant to take over. The atmosphere was a little stagnant.
Ma Sheng was nervous, and his eyes looked at Zhao Pingping's expression, but Zhao Pingping was very calm. In fact, in many families, the son will be separated when he gets married.
The reason why some parents hold on to it is that they think
Supporting his son's life is one reason, and I'm afraid there is also a reason for the desire to control. There have to be enough benefits.
Zhao Ke asked: "Can your brigade give Sister Pingping the same amount of work?"
No.
That's all the normal work for women, and there are breeders in the Liuhezi Brigade, but there are already fixed people, so it is impossible to squeeze them down.
The Ma family didn't speak.
"I'm direct, don't mind. My sixth uncle's family is not trying to recruit money, but for the future of Sister Pingping and her object, whether this object is Brother Ma Sheng or not, Sister Pingping will make this request.
Zhao Ke gave them an account:
"The pigs of our brigade, you have also seen it, and will continue to raise them in the future, the dividends of this batch of pigs, Sister Pingping does not have the object, but the next batch of pigs, if Sister Pingping gets married, and the food relationship is still in our Zhao Village's brigade, her small family can share dividends.
Your brigade also raises pigs, how much is this dividend, should there be a number, right?
The Ma family and his wife looked at each other. The policy is a pound of pigs and a pound of grain, and raising pigs is indeed a great benefit, which cannot be denied.
However, Ma's father said, "Our village also raises pigs and dividends."
Zhao Ke nodded, didn't say this, and asked instead: There's something, your brigade got the news, right? In two days, the secretary and director of the commune and the various brigades will come to our brigade for field investigation, and then five people from each brigade will work for our brigade for a month to provide technical guidance on drainage canals.
Ma Sheng spoke up: "Our team chose me."
Zhao Ke continued: "Our brigade opened another 100 acres of land some time ago, and the people from each brigade mainly came to open up wasteland, and our brigade plans to open up 100 acres of paddy fields by the river to plant rice. After the harvest of these fields, the grain relations will be shared by the members of our brigade.
How much land does that get? Did your brigade do it?
Of course, Zhao Ke didn't say that they were short of people, but just said lightly: "Our brigade just bought a cow this year, and we plan to buy a walk-behind tractor next year.
Tractor?!
There is not one in ten miles and eight villages.
Mo said that the Ma family was shocked, and even Zhao Wumao and Zhao Jianfa's family looked at Zhao Ke in surprise. Zhao Ke looked calm.
There is a plan, but whether to buy it or not, and when to buy it...... Bragging is not responsible. The Ma family's so-called "still building a house" is not also a blank check?
Zhao Ke said meaningfully
: "A good girl is not worried about getting married, with my Sister Ping's conditions, she will definitely not worry about finding a partner, and with the development prospects of our brigade, she will definitely not worry about finding someone who is willing to move over.
"My sixth uncle and sixth aunt have such a filial son who is tied to my brother, and I put forward this condition at the risk of being misunderstood and offending my in-laws, in order to make my daughter and son-in-law richer in the future. Parents are all loving, you should also hope that your son will have a better future, right?
The Ma family and his wife couldn't refute it.
She used "Sister Pingping's object" to speak throughout the whole process, and it was obvious to tell them that Ma Sheng was not irreplaceable.
"My sixth uncle invited me, the women's director, to come over and make peace, not to put pressure on your family to agree, but because I can explain the stakes here, and I have some strength in the village.
Zhao Ke was full of purity, and he thought about them in a tone: "Brother Ma Sheng moved to our brigade, and he will not live in the Yue's house for a long time, he will definitely build a new house......
There are many advantages, and the disadvantage seems to be that only my son is not around, but our two villages are not far away, and it is very convenient to come and go.
Zhao Wumao cooperated with her and sighed: "I feel in my heart that these two children are really a good match, if they can succeed, they can't be wrong in the future, if they can't succeed......... It's also fate.
The Ma family is all in a hurry, there is fate, it will definitely be possible. A smile appeared in Zhao Ke's eyes.
Population +1.
Experience +1.
