Dashan Makes a Living 1984

"Keep your voice down, because you're afraid people won't hear you, right?" Zuo Shengli hurriedly dissuaded his wife.

"I heard it when I heard it. I was afraid that he would fail. Who is it?"

"Yaqin, don't be impulsive. You don't know what he's here for now. You go to see Auntie, and then go help with the cooking. There are me, Shengli, and big brother here. You don't have to worry about anything." It can all be resolved.”

"Brother-in-law is right. Today is my aunt's birthday. If you cause trouble, how can I live my aunt's birthday? You are not a child anymore, so you have to bear it."

Li Yaqin's husband, Zuo Shengli, is the head of the village. It is hard to understand how he could become the head of the village at such a young age, but he did it.

Not only that, he, the village head, has been doing it for decades.

In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao remembered that he really retired from his twenties to his fifties.

During his tenure, they developed their village into one of the richest villages in Qingquan Town.

Not only opened several factories in the village, but also was the first to complete the laying of roads in the village to households, and also organized various cultural and entertainment venues, which were very popular with the villagers.

Until he stepped down, many people were reluctant and wanted him to be re-elected.

Zuo Shengli is a very sensible person, and he is very good at dealing with affairs. He treats people politely, warmly and generously. In his previous life, Li Yaqin's natal family was poor relatives.

No matter whose family came to their door, they would not let them go away empty-handed.

In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao had many times when his children had no money to go to school. He really had no choice but to go to Zuo Shengli's house to borrow money. Every time, he would find a way to raise at least half of the money.

Therefore, Wang Tianxiao has always been grateful to Li Yaqin's family.

You can't blame him for being too realistic, whoever treats him well is the one who treats others well.

Just because poor people are like that.

Because there are very few people who have helped me, I cherish everyone who has helped me, keep the kindness of others in my heart, and look for opportunities to repay it slowly.

"Well, then, you can't show him a good face later."

Li Yaqin still told her husband angrily.

Li Yaqin's personality is completely opposite to Li Yali's. The two sisters are quiet, active, gentle, and impulsive, which just complement each other.

The youngest sister, Li Yamei, is relatively less interesting.

Li Yamei's personality is a bit extreme, she likes to take advantage of small things, and she is also very stingy, not very likable.

Hearing what his wife said, Zuo Shengli had no choice but to nod temporarily, and managed to coax his wife away.

After Li Yaqin left, Zuo Shengli said to Wang Tianxiao, "Brother-in-law, what did that man want to do here?"

Wang Tianxiao shook his head, "I don't know for now, I haven't seen anyone yet, the eldest brother is chatting inside. However, according to my speculation, this rascal must be left alone now, so why don't you come here to see if you can get something? .”

Zuo Shengli nodded, "I think so. Last time I heard Yaqin talk about this matter, I found it incomprehensible. It's really funny how there are such people."

"Who says no?" Wang Tianxiao smiled bitterly, "I heard the same idea last time, but I thought he was just here to join in the fun and there should be no follow-up. I didn't expect to come again, and he chose such a special one." Days, if he said he didn't do it on purpose, who would believe it."

"Well, let's go in and see what that person is up to. If he is talkative, we'll find a way to get rid of him today. If he insists on messing around, then we have to find a way to not embarrass my aunt, right? "

"That's what I mean too."

Wang Tianxiao nodded and looked at the main room, "Then let's go in and have a look now?"

"Walk."

The two brothers-in-law are not ordinary people, and naturally they will not be fooled and bullied as easily as ordinary people.

They all wanted to meet the brother-in-law who appeared out of nowhere and see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

The two walked into the main room together, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a teacup in his hand, and blowing the tea in it with disgust.

The man was wearing a fairly neatly cut denim jacket, and a pair of black cotton trousers underneath. The pigskin shoes were polished to a shine, as smooth as his thinning hair.

Seeing Wang Tianxiao and X coming in, he was startled, and looked at Li Guanlin with puzzled eyes.

In fact, Li Guanlin had heard their voices coming a long time ago, and was thinking about how to deal with this person in front of him so that he could go out and talk to the guests, but Wang Tianxiao and the two came in unexpectedly.

He smiled and introduced to the uncle: "Uncle, this is Yali's son-in-law Tianxiao, and this is Yaqin's son-in-law Shengli."

"Oh." The uncle just nodded lightly.

Just like a veteran cadre.

Wang Tianxiao and Zuo Shengli looked at each other, seeing the playfulness in each other's eyes.

Invariably, they all thought of a sentence: "What!"

"Uncle."

"Uncle."

Contempt in my heart is contempt, but before you turn your face, you still have to maintain a certain degree of politeness, after all, this person is the mother-in-law's younger brother.

"Hello you all."

Wang Tianxiao and Zuo Shengli walked over and sat down on the edge of the kang. Wang Tianxiao said to Li Guanlin: "Brother, sister-in-law seemed to have something to do with you just now, she asked you to go to the kitchen, you go and have a look."

"Well, okay, I'll go over now, the two of you can talk to my uncle."

Li Guanlin gave Wang Tianxiao a look of gratitude, got off the kang and left the main room.

After Li Guanlin went out, Wang Tianxiao asked with a smile, "Uncle, why are you free to go out today?"

The mountain where this uncle is located is not Ziwu Ridge, but another valley called Ninggu.

And the county where Ninggu is located is called Ning County.

It is also a county-level city under the administration of Qingcheng.

However, because this county is basically a mountainous area, it is quite poor and its economy is extremely backward.

People in Qingcheng laughed and said that if you throw a person into the big mountain in Ning County, you may not be able to get out for three days and three nights.

He also said that the main economic pillar of Ning County is selling daughters.

As long as it is a girl from Ning County, the betrothal gift will be outrageously high. In this era, the betrothal gift can cost three to four thousand, and after forty years, it will be three to five hundred thousand.

Therefore, there is often a saying on the lips of the old man, that he would rather marry a ghost from the underworld than a girl from Ning County, which is evident.

The place where this uncle was staying was a very small village in the deepest part of the mountains in Ning County. The whole village probably didn't have as many people as Wang's Village.

If mother-in-law Qin Xiaoling hadn't been brought out of the mountain by her aunt, it would have been impossible for her to leave the mountain for the rest of her life.

"That's not your grandma. My sister's mother is not in good health. Why don't you come and yell to go back and have a look? The old man wants to see her daughter. As a son, I can't stop me, can I?"

"The old man's wish is reasonable, but it also depends on whether my aunt is willing or not?"

Wang Tianxiao said with a smile, "Brother, think about it, my aunt was taken out of the mountains before she was a full moon, and she never had the chance to get along with her parents again in her whole life. Sixty years have passed, and she suddenly said that she still has a mother." , I’m afraid it’s hard to accept for a while, right?”

"What's so hard to accept, even if she's never seen her before, she can't deny her mother. After all, she was born by my mother, right? Without my mother, would she have come into this world?" ?”

"Well, that's the truth," Wang Tianxiao didn't deny, "So, uncle, do you think that being a mother is as simple as giving birth to a child?"

"what do you mean?"

"He was born a son, so he raised him. When he found out it was a girl, he just filled it in a bucket and drowned. Is this the role of a mother?"

"Why... why are you talking about this? Is it interesting to bring up this kind of thing now? At that time, it was not special. At this time and that time, it has passed that stage, so don't bring up the things at that time and repeat it. It's boring, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's not interesting," Wang Tianxiao sneered, "Since you know it's not interesting, you shouldn't come here to find my aunt now. What's the point?"

"You... are you teaching me a lesson?"

"No, I'm just suggesting to my uncle, buy the bus ticket back now, you may be able to catch the last bus, if you want, I can buy you the bus ticket, and even give you some travel expenses."

"What are you? What qualifications do you have to talk to me? This is your family? What are you talking about like a son-in-law?"

"Whether I am qualified is not up to you, and whether you are qualified is also not up to you. I think you are about forty years old anyway, don't you have basic etiquette and morals?" Understood, who gave it to you?"

"Who gave you the confidence to sit here and talk to us with your legs crossed. I might as well tell you, don't underestimate me. Although I am a son-in-law, it is easy to drive you out Things, no one and no one will stop me, believe it or not?"

"You...Your attitude towards elders. How do you talk? It's really rude. I don't know what kind of son-in-law my sister is looking for for her daughter. I really don't think it's embarrassing."

"I'm really sorry, I'm like this, if you're not used to it, leave early," Wang Tianxiao joked, "To tell you the truth, my temper is already considered good, if you stay like this, wait for me If the second sister-in-law came over, it would be no wonder if you weren't scolded bloody."

"What do you mean?" the uncle put down his legs, pointed at Wang Tianxiao and shouted, "I finally figured it out, you just came to disgust me on purpose, right? I'm going to find my sister and let her take a good look at it. Her brother's."

Wang Tianxiao still wanted to speak, but Zuo Shengli took over: "Uncle, tell me, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't I tell you, I just want my sister to go back and see my mother."

"It can't be done." Zuo Shengli said categorically.

"How do you know it can't be done?"

"My aunt was almost killed when she was born. It has nothing to do with you and your mother that she can live to this age. Naturally, she doesn't have any emotions. I think you and your mother are also aware of this. If you say that you still have feelings for my aunt, then I'm afraid you don't believe yourself, do you?"

"Hmph." The uncle snorted coldly, not sure, but also not denying it.

"My brother-in-law and I have very simple intentions. Since your purpose of coming here is not to bring my aunt back, then there must be other purposes. Just say it directly and don't hide it. To tell you the truth, my aunt's family These sons don't have much money, if you really want to squeeze something out of them, you're going to be disappointed."

"I'm their uncle, they are more filial to me, isn't it right, how can it be considered a squeeze, it's so ugly... Besides, whoever said I want something, I said it, it's my mother..."

"What are you talking about so much nonsense?!"

Wang Tianxiao looked at the time and felt that it was meaningless to toss so much with this person, he might as well send it away quickly and have a good talk with other relatives.

"Just tell me, what on earth are you going to do? If you don't say anything else, I'll take you out and throw you out. It's really shameless for you. What good things can a person without a conscience teach? Look at your foolish appearance. What's the point?" It's not ashamed to treat us as an uncle."

"you……"

The uncle was so angry that his face turned red, he pointed at Wang Tianxiao and was speechless.

"What about me? If you don't tell me, then I'm sorry..."

Wang Tianxiao jumped off the kang and walked straight towards his uncle.

The man he gave birth to was tall and powerful, and his uncle was frightened by his appearance, so he jumped up from the sofa and subconsciously protected his body: "What do you want to do, you want to do something to me?"

"Not to mention, let me tell you, the people I have beaten have not even a company but a platoon. You can try it. If you don't beat your teeth today, you won't know the hospitality of our Qingcheng people."

Seeing Wang Tianxiao continue to approach, the uncle finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said repeatedly: "Don't come over, don't be in a hurry, we have something to talk about. If you keep fighting, you can't solve the problem, right?"

"So, are you willing to talk about it again?" Wang Tianxiao stopped and asked lightly.

"Willing, very willing,"

Wang Tianxiao turned his head to look at Zuo Shengli, Zuo Shengli couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that this eldest brother-in-law is really the nemesis of this kind of rascal.

If you reason with this kind of people, they will mess around and make you helpless.

On the contrary, if you just ignore them, or even treat them as human beings, they will be discouraged.

Immediately became a soft rice ghost, not half hard.

"Then tell me, what are you doing here? My cheap grandma called you here, or you wanted to come here. Make it clear. I'll give you one last chance. If you can't catch it, I promise to throw you away immediately." Go out and let you in again, I'm a dog."

Wang Tianxiao saw that his uncle was calmed down, so he sat down next to him and stared into his eyes.

He had already seen from this man's words and deeds that he was not a good bird.

He might be his wife's uncle, yes, but that's limited to a little blood relationship and doesn't mean anything else.

Moreover, for the mother-in-law, what makes her most uncomfortable is precisely this blood relationship.

This is like putting a lock on her heart, pulling a blood bar, it's okay if you don't touch it, but it hurts once you touch it.

Seeing her today says it all.

She was originally a very kind person, and she gave people a kind of warmth when she saw her on weekdays, but today's mother-in-law, although she was barely smiling, seemed very mechanical.

It proves that she is under a lot of pressure in her heart. Even if she wants to smile when she sees her granddaughter and grandson, she is powerless.

"Actually, it's like this. Isn't my mother paralyzed on the kang now, and she has no one to take care of her? She has no money and no one..."

"How come, don't you have several sisters?"

"There are a few, but now three of the six are dead, and the other two can't be found at all, so I can only know about your place."

"It's really comeback."

Wang Tianxiao said coldly, "At that time, I drove the children out one by one. Now that I am old, I am waiting for someone to take care of me. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world..."

Speaking of this, Wang Tianxiao suddenly took a look at his uncle, and said with a sneer, "This is not the real reason, is it?"

"That's why, why else would I come here? It takes more than a hundred miles to get here from Ning County."

Uncle wanted to continue explaining.

"Can you have a half-truth in your mouth, tell me, is your mother, that is, our cheap grandma, dead?"

The uncle was startled suddenly, and looked at Wang Tianxiao in surprise, "How do you know... oh, why do you say that?"

"Because from your tone and appearance, I didn't realize that you were really worried about your mother. On the contrary, every time you mentioned your mother, it was a very comfortable and relaxed feeling. So I think you are probably You have already left the care of your mother, and now you just want to find a place where you can continue to dawdle, don't you?"

Uncle's expression will really change.

He looked at Wang Tianxiao in shock, like seeing a ghost.

I also thought in my heart, how smart this person is like a ghost, such things can be guessed.

He originally wanted to bargain with Wang Tianxiao and the others, it would be best if he could live here permanently.

Anyway, he was spoiled by his mother and several older sisters since he was a child, and he has no ability to live. If he really leaves someone behind, he still doesn't know how to live.

Now that she finally found this sister, how could she let her go so easily? She must be here.

He seemed to have seen some possibilities from that nephew earlier.

But now seeing these two sons-in-law, especially the elder son-in-law, he suddenly became unsteady.

Can your own plan really come true?

Looking at this person's appearance, he is like a dog who can notice his true thoughts with his keen sense of smell.

With him here, even if I stay here, I guess life will be difficult.

Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy, and his momentum became much softer.

"Am I quite right?"

The uncle nodded and lowered his head.

"So, you have been reluctant to say what you want to do, does it mean that you are going to stay at my aunt's house and not leave?"

Uncle still didn't speak and silence was his answer.

"It's beautiful to think about. I have never understood you people. Why don't you know that people still have dignity? Don't you care about your own face at all?"

"I can't live anymore, what face can I care about, as long as I can live, it doesn't matter."

"But if you want to live, there are many ways. Why do you have to think about living under the fence? You are a big man, what can you do? Besides, you have also seen the situation here. Who are you going to rely on to support you? It is you six My ten-year-old sister is still your nephews, after all, who really recognizes you, it's okay to give you a cup of tea, and take care of you, you really think too much."

Perhaps, this passage reached my uncle's heart, and he actually has this kind of worry. Even uncles and nephews who have deep feelings may not have such feelings, let alone he has no relationship with the nephews here.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a bit whimsical.

"Then what should I do? I don't want to go back to that mountain anyway. There is no mother or sister there now. What do I do if I live there alone? It's nothing. I won't go back."

"Hey, I said, are you really addicted?"

"I'm not bad, I can't help it."

Wang Tianxiao looked at this person, thought for a while, and came up with a solution.

Since he has no place to go, why not take him to his station for labor reform.

Anyway, if he doesn't work hard, no one will see him anywhere.

Also avoid throwing it here and being upset all the time.

The people here obviously can't handle him.

"Well, if you really want to find a job, I can find a way for you. It's not a good thing, but at least it can let you live."

"That's it..."

The uncle obviously wasn't very interested, so he pursed his lips and seemed very reluctant.

"What's the matter, don't you want to work and want to get something for nothing? Let me tell you, there is no one to support you anymore. Even the elder sister who grew up together may not necessarily take care of you, let alone this one who was abandoned by your family. What about the person who killed you. Don’t have big dreams, let me ask you again, do you want to do something, or do you want to be thrown out by me?”

"I..." The so-called being lazy is afraid of people. My uncle doesn't take him seriously when he meets Wang Tianxiao. elder.

But Wang Tianxiao can't be completely regarded as a person of this era.

Having experienced the new family atmosphere and culture of later generations, he has long been less interested in such blood-sucking relatives.

It doesn't matter what he thinks.

Moreover, because of some things in his family, Wang Tianxiao already disliked some garbage people in his family.

This little uncle hit him on the knife edge.

That is to say, my uncle is still an elder, otherwise why would he still say these things, he would have thrown the shit out by the neckline long ago.

Being able to keep calm is not all about giving face to the mother-in-law, and I don't want to make the mother-in-law feel too uncomfortable.

She is kind at the bottom of her heart, even if she knows that this person is such a guy, she might soften her heart.

"Since you don't want to, then I..."

"I'm willing..." The uncle quickly raised his head and said, "I'm willing to work, as long as you give me a job that can make money, I'm willing to do it, but I haven't done any work before, so I don't know if I can do it well. "

Although he agreed, he still gave himself a step down.

This is Raipi's main principle of doing things.

Always leave yourself a way out that you can play tricks on, and if you are investigated for the reason, you can also find a reason to shirk.
