Shengli looked at his nephew, took the cigarette, but did not light it. Instead, he put it directly behind his ear and started to start the car.
My nephew is obviously very satisfied with this foreign boy, if it were a boy who was twenty years old in another village. You don't have to keep your eyelids in victory. If anyone intervenes in this matter and just slaps the big-eared melon seeds, it will be easy.
But my nephew is different, even though he is not very old. But he can at least be half in charge of the affairs at home, so even if he is dissatisfied that his niece has found a boy from out of town. However, having my nephew look after the family does make them feel more at ease.
I chatted casually along the way, and after getting off the official road, the car quickly entered the village. Seeing a few more two-story buildings in the village, and a few large trucks he had never seen before parked on the side of the road, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask, "How many people in the village have bought cars?"
"Five families are jealous when they see the money they make." Shengli said a little angrily.
Originally, when he was buying a car, his nephew said that if anyone wanted to buy a car, he would help advance the money and pay it back later when they had money. However, as a result, many people followed him and learned to drive for free. When it came to buying a car, not one of them wanted to. Lost his temper.
But now it's good to see that driving a big truck to deliver goods makes money, and everyone joins in, and they are even shameless enough to go to Yang's house to borrow money. If the Yang family has the ability, they will charge into the mines for you. When they see the money being made, they rush forward in a swarm. When they don't make the money, they stand aside and watch the fun.
"It's not safe for sports cars on the road. It's safer to run with people from the same village. Anyway, as long as you have cars, there are plenty of jobs." Seeing his uncle's appearance, Yang Dongxu naturally understood the reason.
Because the money borrowed by the villagers to buy a car was nominally lent by Yang’s father and Yang’s mother, but in fact it was all given by Yang Dongxu. Otherwise, the Yang family, which has only raised pigs for two years, really would not be able to afford so much money.
"That's the same." Shengli nodded.
Because they both have money from the former Yang family, Yang's father only occasionally helps out with the sports car, and most of the time he has to stay at home and look after the pig farm. So Shengli became the absolute leader in the team. He could smoke good cigarettes and drink good wine every day without spending any money.
But Shengli is not a stingy person either. He mainly thinks that other people are miserable and always takes advantage of others and loses face. So he was the one who paid the bill for dinners and meat gatherings. This made his prestige in the village suddenly grow a lot, and no one looked at him as a second-rate person anymore.
After getting off the car and starting to move the luggage, Yang's mother burst into tears while holding her daughter's hand. I heard that my daughter was in love, and she was from Sichuan who didn't know where she was. Yang's mother was so frightened that she almost cried. At that time, she wanted to go to Yanjing to bring her daughter back.
So when she saw Liu Leehom carrying his luggage into the house with great effort, Yang's mother didn't say anything, but she didn't have a good look on her face. Although she always wanted to talk about her daughter's marriage from the first to the end of the past two years, she had never thought about letting her daughter marry away from home.
"Come and eat some sweets." Yang Dongxu opened a suitcase and took out two bags of sweets, opened them and divided them among the children who gathered around to watch the fun.
"Just give me one or two, you'll eat up all your teeth after eating so many little bugs." The second uncle next to him glared at his little grandson who was holding the candy and wouldn't let go, but the previous sentence was obviously meant for Yang Dongxu.
"Second uncle, are you in good health? Why are you here, uncle? Come and sit in the house..." Yang Dongxu greeted the villagers skillfully.
After returning from outside, someone came to the door to talk to me, which proved that the Yang family had prestige in Yangjia Village and was of good character. After all, Yangjiacun is no longer what it used to be, but no one has a chance to eat, and in addition, there are no shortage of snacks for children at the market.
At this time, people from the village came to join in the fun. That was the reason why the Yang family had prestige in the village. If no one comes to the door after coming back, and the children don't come to eat sweets, then this family is either the second-rate family in the village, or a stingy person with bad character.
"Go, go, go and play. Why are you here to join in the fun when you have all the candy?" Some parents began to chase the children who had followed them into the house out.
Although the Yang family was generous and did not suggest anything, the child was running around in the house, playing around, and running around in different rooms just when he was jealous.
"You're welcome to do whatever you want, do you want some melon seeds?" Yang Dongxu finished his cigarette and took the melon seed plate next to him and gave it a turn.
"Stop working so hard, Xuzi. If you want to eat, we'll take care of you." Someone said.
Everyone also echoed that they would get it if they wanted to.
The older generation sat, and then a few uncles and uncles also sat, while a group of young people like Xiao Wu could only stand. Father Yang took the tea bottle to the kitchen to fill up hot water for making tea. Grandpa was walking around the village with old man Xuan who wanted to take a walk.
Although uncle Shengli was also sitting at this time, it was obvious that he could not make the decision on what was to be discussed next, so he sat quietly next to his peers. Yang Dongxu gave way a few times, and was finally pushed to take the main seat.
However, a group of uncles and uncles were there, and it was obvious that he was burning his buttocks by sitting in the main seat, so he stepped aside and moved a bench to sit next to the empty main seat.
After sitting down, he saw Liu Leehom standing at the door, neither sitting nor standing. Yang Dongxu stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, come here. Let me introduce you to the people in the village."
Although he had something to discuss with Yang Dongxu at this time, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Liu Leehom. Liu Leehom came over nervously.
So starting with the oldest person, every time Liu Leehom was introduced, he handed over a cigarette very knowingly and helped to light it, and followed Yang Dongxu by calling him.
"Go to the kitchen and see if dad doesn't want to help." After the introduction, Liu Leehom was still a little nervous, so Yang Dongxu asked him to go to the kitchen and have a look.
"Xu Zi, this is the girl's target..." Third Grandpa frowned as he watched Liu Leehom leave.
Not only were nine out of ten people in his room dissatisfied, after all, many people had seen what the eldest girl of the Yang family was like just now. I haven't seen her for more than a year. She looks more beautiful than the girls in the city. I wonder if Liu Leehom is not good enough.
"My sister talked about it herself. When we marry a girl in Yangjia Village, we don't care about other people's uncles. As long as the person is upright and treats my sister well. After all, even if the family background is not good, I just have the ability to help." Yang Dongxu said with a smile: "The people in the village Do you have something to talk about with so many people here?”
The elder who originally thought Liu Leehom was not worthy of Hongying looked much better when he heard what Yang Dongxu said. The Yang family does not have to choose the man's family to have whatever they want now. As long as he is good enough and can live a down-to-earth life, it does make people worry-free. However, it is a bit bad to marry far away, but this is the Yang family's business. Yang Dongxu has already called him brother-in-law and they don't intend to say anything more.
"I have something to talk about." The eldest grandpa finished his words, then looked at each other and said to the third grandpa and others: "It's like this, our village has to choose a village chief, so I want to discuss this matter with you. "
"Grandpa, aren't you slapping me in the face? Although I have studied for a few more years, my age is still too young after all, so you elders should discuss such a big matter, and I will vote directly when the time comes. That’s fine, you can’t discuss it with me, so why not?”
Originally, Yang Dongxu thought that everyone came together to discuss buying a car, or to ask about future sports cars. After all, this is a big investment. If you don't hear the capable Yang Dongxu talk about it in person, no one will be at ease. Who would have thought that it was a matter of choosing the village chief.
"Your uncle didn't make it clear just now, so let me explain it." The third grandfather knocked the pipe in his hand: "That's it, what kind of apple planting is going to be done in the town now, and it is a hard target for the village chief to promote this. But in the village No one wants to grow this apple, so it’s a bit difficult to choose anyone.”
"What are you still doing to grow apples? I haven't planted any saplings on the land I left in the village?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be because of this incident.
He knew about this when he came back to buy a car last time, but it has been almost half a year, and there is not an apple tree in the field. He thought this matter would just go away.
"We are planning to unify and plant them together in the spring next year."
"Then if someone wants to plant, just plant. If they don't want to, just don't. You can't force a cow to hold down its head if it doesn't drink water, right?" Yang Dongxu said.
"I can't volunteer this time. It's said that our town has been designated as a pilot town and the whole town must be planted. It is said that the province is paying attention to this matter. Planting is not possible." The uncle said a little embarrassed.
As people of their generation, if there were any instructions from above, they would be willing to work to the death. When working on rivers and building dams, they would never hesitate to bring their own dry food.
But now everyone in the village wants to build a vegetable greenhouse after seeing how much money they have made. The boss suddenly asked them to plant unknown apple trees, which is undoubtedly a problem for people.
"Do we have to plant them all?" Hearing the uncle said that the province was paying attention to this matter, Yang Dongxu curled his lips unconsciously. It would be damned if the province was paying attention to this matter.
This seems to be the leader's decision to get excited and then listen to some expert's advice. This leadership position is probably even higher at the county level than at the city level.
"It is said that they must be planted so that the fruits grown on the top and the crops grown below do not affect each other. It is said that this is an advanced variety of fruit trees from abroad. It grows fast, not to mention it is big and sweet. Last time I went to a meeting, there were a lot of those. The information and pictures of apple varieties look pretty good.”
"What about the vegetable greenhouse that has been built now?" Yang Dongxu felt even more disgusted when the third grandfather said this. This is really to deceive honest farmers into thinking they are fools.
"Last time the leaders from the town came and said that everything must be cleared. They said that one year of growing apples is worth three years of building this vegetable greenhouse, and the investment is much cheaper than this." Grandpa Six added later.
"Want to plant seeds in Mr. Liu's family?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"It doesn't have to be planted, I just heard what they said is good." Grandpa Six said with a dry smile.
"Do you want to ask what you mean?" Seeing that his elder brother looked a little embarrassed, the second grandfather took over the conversation.
"Our family mainly raises pigs and doesn't have a vegetable greenhouse. We'll see if we can grow other crops later." Yang Dongxu said nonchalantly.
Although he knew that this matter was definitely unreliable, he was always pushed out by the villagers as a pawn to charge into the battle. He was obviously not the winner of his brother-in-law, and he could not find fault after being praised a few times.
