Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Wang Tianxiao knew in his heart that sometimes he couldn't make sense of the right and wrong things in the village, because these people didn't use reason as the principle of life at all, but their rigid and traditional thinking.

This kind of thinking has not changed when I was young, so how can it change when I am old?

Don't even think about it.

It is absolutely impossible for a person to truly transform without a huge change or a heart-wrenching experience.

Wang Tianxiao asked several construction workers to wait first, and he rode a motorcycle along the indicated road to the house with a walnut tree at the door.

The car stopped, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the wooden door suddenly opened, and a little girl came out.

Wang Tianxiao froze for a moment, feeling that the little girl looked familiar.

While thinking about who it was, the little girl was also taken aback when she saw Wang Tianxiao, hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran into the gate, closed the wooden door heavily, and put a bolt inside.

Wang Tianxiao was stunned.

What kind of rhythm is this, he is not ugly, why does this little girl feel like seeing a ghost when she sees him, just go in, why does she have to lock the door.

Completely confused him.

Wang Tianxiao looked at the family and found that the family was not very well-to-do. Although it was a detached courtyard, the walls were not bricks but made of adobe. Some parts had fallen off and looked a little old.

The gate to the yard is a formwork, and a hole is made in the lower part, so a cat can get in.

What attracts Wang Tianxiao most is the couplet on the door of this house, although it is also common: flying snow to send spring back, firecrackers to bid farewell to the old year, but the person who wrote this couplet has a very good brush calligraphy.

Because the writing is very casual, with a touch of cursive script, so Wang Tianxiao can be sure that it is definitely not a couplet bought on the street.

Which people in the street can write this kind of cursive script.

How many people are willing to buy couplets in cursive script?

How can someone who can write such a couplet have such an unreasonable old lady.

Wang Tianxiao secretly speculated.

Knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang."

No one paid any attention.

"Bang bang bang!"

Wang Tianxiao knocked three more times.

It was so quiet inside that there was not even a dog barking. If Wang Tianxiao hadn't seen a little girl running in just now, he really thought there was no one in this house.

"Bang bang bang!"

He knocked a few more times.

This time, the door finally opened, revealing the little girl's face again.

"What are you going to do?"

The little girl asked crisply, her eyes full of fear.

Just as Wang Tianxiao was about to speak, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this girl before.

Isn't this the little girl he picked up last time? Because of her, he was reported to the police station by her grandmother.

In that case...

Wang Tianxiao suddenly had an ominous premonition.

It turned out that the so-called old lady was the old man.

He finally understood the difficulty of the construction workers.

That old lady is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It was Wang Tianxiao himself, who almost broke his mentality last time.

Not to mention other people.

He also understood why the little girl was afraid of him, it was all the fear accumulated last time.

Unlike adults, children can resolve emotions. They tend to respond more sensitively to emotions. They were afraid last time, but they will be subconsciously afraid when they see people this time.

This is impossible.

Therefore, she directly asked Wang Tianxiao what he was going to do, obviously with the mood of interrogation.

"Little sister, don't be afraid. Uncle is not a bad person. We met last time, right? You know it was uncle who pulled you up from the crowd, rather than a human trafficker, right?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Only then did Wang Tianxiao feel relieved.

He was clearly wronged last time, and the little girl was reluctant to speak for a long time. She only knew how to cry. He thought the child was out of his mind.

It now looks like it should have just been frightened at the beginning.

There is no problem with people, she is a cute little girl.

"The uncle asked you, is your grandma at home?"

The little girl shook her head.

Her head was caught in the crack of the door, but as soon as she shook her head, she was hit by the door and hurt, she immediately grinned, like a cute little monkey.

"Then can you tell uncle, where did your grandma go?"

"Go to the second uncle's house."

"Is it your second uncle's house?"

"Um."

"Then do you know when she will come back?"

"have no idea."

"Uncle has something to ask your grandma, can you take uncle to your second uncle's house?"

The little girl hesitated, shook her head, and refused.

What she agrees with will be spoken out, and if it is not in line with her mind, she will remain silent.

She is very wary of Wang Tianxiao, a very playful girl.

"In this case, uncle will wait for your grandma here."

Wang Tianxiao had no other choice, he came all the time.

You can't just leave the matter unfinished, let's go home without a feather. If this matter is not settled, no matter when it is delayed,

make life difficult for.

So, while teasing the little girl, he waited for the old lady.

I hoped that she would come back quickly, but on the other hand, I was worried that I would have to talk to such an old lady next, so I felt tired.

He has always been courteous before soldiers.

Only when others don't like his politeness, he will tell others that he actually has a temper, and his temper is not small.

He is a typical eat soft but not hard.

If you speak well, maybe you can still see it for the sake of pity, and don't care so much.

But if he wants to fight against Wang Tianxiao, he is not afraid of anyone.

Will be very brave just go up.

Before I knew it, about an hour passed.

Wang Tianxiao's mouth was dry after talking, and finally an old lady appeared on the path.

Because he had been paying attention, he recognized at a glance that it was the scary old lady.

Replacement if fake.

And the old lady was also stunned for a moment when she saw Wang Tianxiao, probably she didn't expect that the world would be so small if she could meet Wang Tianxiao here.

Soon, she came to her senses and rushed back to her door, almost knocking Wang Tianxiao down.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her granddaughter, she reluctantly felt relieved, pointed at Wang Tianxiao and asked, "What are you doing here again?"

It seems that he is still very hostile to himself.

Wang Tianxiao adjusted his mentality, put a layer of protective shield on himself first, and then said: "Ma'am, I came to see you today because I have something to discuss."

"I have nothing to discuss with you, you go."

Wang Tianxiao: "?"

Sure enough, it still smells familiar.

Fortunately, he had already prepared in his heart, and he was not affected at all. He continued to smile and said, "Ma'am, what happened last time was not a misunderstanding. Now that we have made it clear, why are you still being so obsessed with me?" What about the hostility?"

"What are you talking about, I didn't tell you at all, it's because you gave the director a ecstasy soup, so that he couldn't tell right from wrong..."

"Auntie, how can I have that kind of ability?" Wang Tianxiao understood the concept of being stubborn to the limit. Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly, he didn't want to continue explaining. ..."

"Let's go, let me tell you that I have nothing to say to you."

"But you have to listen to me, because if you don't listen to me, then the construction is going on over there, so don't go around looking for people to make trouble."

As soon as the aunt heard about the construction, she knew the reason for Wang Tianxiao's visit, so she took another look at Wang Tianxiao, and said bitterly: "So it's because of you, so I said you're not a good person, you're so young. Why do you want to dig someone's grave?"

Sure enough, the reason is what the construction workers said.

Speaking of this flat grave, it is indeed a historical issue.

Because Qingcheng has always practiced burial, this custom has not changed until Wang Tianxiao came in his last life.

In the early years, everyone's graves were buried in their own plots or contracted plots.

So when you walk on the main road, you can see graves everywhere.

It didn't matter that there were fewer people at first, but as more and more people died, there were more graves in the field, which affected the order of normal farming.

Think about it, a lot of land was originally square and square, and suddenly a few graves were buried in it, and the land would be divided into small pieces, and the machine could not rotate in it, and it became difficult to plant.

For this reason, the government finally reformed the burial package in the past few years.

The government stepped in to set up a cemetery beside the ditch, and everyone in the village could bury people in that huge open space without paying any fees.

Everyone is required to move out the graves in the ground. If they don’t move out, they will be forced to smooth it out. Anyway, the ground mountain is not allowed to look like there are many graves.

It is required to look at it at a glance, and it is flat everywhere.

The old lady's wife's cemetery was probably forcibly cleared at this time.

It must have caused dissatisfaction.

At that time, most people moved their graves, and everyone felt that since the government had arranged a cemetery, they should move there. By the way, it would be convenient to bury their parents or grandparents together.

But there are always some people who have a hard time speaking, they are just unwilling to follow the call, and the final result is that the cemetery is forced to be flattened and integrated with the land, and the specific location of the tomb can no longer be found.

Perhaps, after just one or two years, they can be roughly distinguished, but after a long time, how many people can clearly remember the same cemetery everywhere.

This will bring a huge trouble to the grave.

When going to the grave, you have to look at the head and the tail of the grave. Generally, people burn paper on the side or the end of the grave. This is because when the coffin is placed, it follows the order of the head and tail of the grave. Burning paper at the end of the grave means facing the feet. If it is a grave head instead, it will be burnt next to the head, which is very unlucky.

Therefore, those who are not very clear about the situation, who will not move against the wind.

This old lady was probably one of those particularly difficult people.

She probably didn't expect things to go to this level. The grave was not moved, but it couldn't be found at all.

That's why I'm in a hurry, I don't want people to move the land over there.

But the land over there is a wasteland, and it doesn't belong to her family, so she can control others.

"Auntie, look, that piece of land doesn't belong to your family in the first place, and it doesn't even belong to Mijia Village. It didn't matter if you used it when it was vacant. Now we want to use it. If you still occupy it like this, it's not appropriate. Is it?"

"What is appropriate or not? Don't tell me if there is something or not. I won't listen. I only know that my wife is buried nearby, so no one can move. If you dare to move, I will fight you hard. "

The old lady continued to display her tough character and performed very stably.

Wang Tianxiao smiled slightly, "Auntie, the main problem is that you can't make the decision on this matter. We are discussing with you now, which is respecting you. If you continue like this, then we have no way to discuss it, so we have to force it. .”

"you dare!"

"It's not a matter of daring or not. Look, if you are really desperate, if something goes wrong with you, what will you do with your granddaughter, and what about the child you hugged last time? Don't you care about them? "

The old lady was stunned and didn't answer for a while.

"Ma'am, I came here today to have a good talk with you. In fact, I know that you are a sensible person. This land belongs to the public. Even if you don't build a power station today, it will be used for other purposes another day. It can't be like this all the time. Idle, right?"

"I don't care about him." The old lady still spoke firmly, but she no longer had the same momentum as before.

"We are moving this place now. At least we will discuss it with you. If you have any requirements, we can think about it and help you fulfill them. But if you meet someone who is unreasonable, you will not only get nothing, but you may even be bullied , why do you think this is necessary?"

"You're scaring me, old lady, I'm right here, let's see who can do anything to me?"

"Are you sure you don't think about it any more?"

"Don't think about it, anyway, no matter if it's public or private, my wife is buried in it and just can't move."

Wang Tianxiao smiled, nodded and said, "Alright then, since you disagree, I'll go to the village head of your village and ask him to talk to you."

"Looking for the village chief?"

Wang Tianxiao didn't expect that when the village head was mentioned, the old lady would be even more unscrupulous, "Go find it, I want to see what he can do to me."

It's true that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Wang Tianxiao secretly smiled.

If he hadn't known that he had no problems, the place was optimistic with Mi Liang and Stationmaster Li, and he was convinced that this location would not encroach on other people's land and would not cause disadvantages to the villagers of Mijia Village, so he agreed to be here. Maybe I wonder if I am the kind of bully in film and television works who forces orphans and widows to relocate and give up their land.

He thought that since the old lady couldn't handle it, he could only go to Mi Liang to solve it.

I heard that Mi Liang has a great influence in the village, and most people will give him face and listen to him very much. Maybe the old lady will be willing to let him say it.

But he didn't know the exact location of Mi Liang's house yet, and was thinking about asking someone first, but saw Mi Liang walking over from where the old lady appeared just now.

Mi Liang was also very surprised to see Wang Tianxiao, and hurried over to grab his arm, "Brother Wang, why didn't you inform me in advance when you came to our Mijia Village, I told you that I would treat you to the best tofu nao in our village. "

Wang Tianxiao smiled and said: "It's a temporary visit, I haven't had time to inform Brother Mi yet."

"Why, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't it just for the power station? We watched it together last time. If we don't put a distribution station below, then we won't be able to use electricity in the station."

"Oh, what happened, why did you come here..."

Mi Liang was a little confused.

Therefore, Wang Tianxiao could only tactfully tell Mi Liang about the old lady in front of him blocking the groundbreaking. He noticed that when he said it, Mi Liang's expression was very complicated, and he looked at the old lady from time to time, with a bit of complaint on his face. .

He waited until Wang Tianxiao finished speaking before he bypassed him, walked up to the old lady, and said helplessly, "Mother, why are you here again?"

ah? !

Wang Tianxiao was dumbfounded.

What kind of rhythm is this?

Are they mother-child relationship?

No wonder when I said I was looking for the village head just now, the old lady looked indifferent. It turned out that the village head was his son, no wonder he was so confident.

"Fourth, look at this man, he's going to move your father's grave again, do you care about it?"

"What is my father's grave? Where did my father live so well? Mother, you have fallen ill again. I have told you many times that my father is fine. He lives in my elder brother's house. You If you think about him, we will take you to see him, why do you say he is buried in the ground, if you keep cursing him like this, even a good person will be cursed to death by you."

Wang Tianxiao listened in a daze, the amount of information was too much.

He wasn't sure if it was a secret he should hear.

For a while, neither walking nor staying.

Just when Wang Tianxiao was in a dilemma, Mi Liang also noticed his embarrassment, so he smiled wryly and said to Wang Tianxiao: "Brother Wang, I am making you laugh, my mother is like this, since she was stimulated a little when she was young, now she will do it from time to time. I fell ill and thought my father was dead and buried in the ground."

Wang Tianxiao didn't expect such a problem, let alone that the world is so small, that this difficult-to-talk old lady is actually Mi Liang's mother.

He also smiled wryly, "So it's Brother Mi's mother, it's much easier now, this old lady of yours is really powerful, she made me feel right and wrong."

"I understand, not to mention you, but members of our family, who have been tricked out of power for a long time."

"Since we've figured it out, it's fine." Wang Tianxiao didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer. He was a bit upset when he saw the old lady, but now that it turned out to be a disease, he felt sorry for the old lady.

What on earth happened to a woman to fantasize about her husband being buried in the ground.

I don't know what kind of emotion it is.

If it is about love, in her consciousness, the other party is dead again.

If there is no emotion, why are they obsessively guarding a tomb that does not actually exist?

As for the affairs of the world, it is true that every family has their own scriptures that are hard to recite.

Wang Tianxiao didn't want to speculate too much, this was his private matter and had nothing to do with him.

"By the way, I just realized it. If you say that, you were the one who saved my niece last time?"

"Your niece, is that the little girl?" Wang Tianxiao pointed at the little girl who was still hiding in the crack of the door looking outside.

"Well, this is the child of my second brother's family. My second brother... is gone, so Qianqian has been living with my mother..."

Mi Liang roughly talked about some things about his brother.

Wang Tianxiao also sighed after hearing this.

Looking at the little girl's eyes full of fear and vigilance, I probably understand.

A child who has no father since childhood and whose mother has run away with others, how can he feel safe when he is sure of an adult? It is inevitable to be vigilant.

"Brother Wang, you are our family's benefactor. Director Mi of the police station is from our village. I heard that he passed. If you hadn't rescued Qianqian, I don't know what would have happened."

"Haha, why are you being polite, brother Mi, you can do it with little effort. This is what we should do. If it were you, brother, you would do the same. It's really not worth saying anything."

"Having said that, what should be done and what is willing to do are two different things. Now that people's hearts are not old, how many people are willing to do such a convenient thing?"

Wang Tianxiao laughed bitterly.

I thought to myself that this is because you don't know the situation. Compared with the old people in later generations who dare not help the fallen people on the street, this situation is much better now.

When society has developed to that stage, it cannot be said that good people are unwilling to take action.

Good guys just don't want to be fished for.

Just be Mr. Dong Guo who was bitten back.

It is not difficult to do good deeds, but one should not be blamed for doing good deeds.

Not everyone can return the truth of the matter. Many people are obviously good and have done good things, but in the end they are ruined and even spent half their lives in prison.

There are too many people with ulterior motives in the world, but there are not enough good people.

These bad guys want to take advantage of them, but they can't deal with the same bad guys as them, so they can only focus on the good guys.

The cost of bullying good people... is really too low.

Seeing her son coming, the old lady suddenly became much more docile, and was coaxed by Mi Liang into the yard.

Mi Liang and Wang Tianxiao personally went to the construction team to solve the problem of starting work.

The power consumption project of the station can be regarded as officially on the schedule.

On the way back, Wang Tianxiao couldn't bear the invitation of Mi Liang, so he went to their house and ate a meal of tofu nao.

But at Mi Liang's house, he witnessed something that moved him.

It turned out that Mi Liang's family had a paralyzed wife.

Before, he heard Mi Liang talk about his family all the time, and he thought how good his wife was to him, what a virtuous woman she was.

When he arrived at Mi Liang's house, he found that his wife was suffering from very severe arthritis, and all her limbs had lesions, which looked like chicken feet, or the roots of a hundred-year-old tree.

A woman in her thirties is more terrifying than an old man in her seventies or eighties.

Wang Tianxiao was originally a person who could still keep his mood steady, but the moment he walked into the gate, he was shocked to see the woman lying at the door of the main room basking in the sun.

Instinctively a little scared.

Because people in this era were generally very poor, many people could not afford cotton clothes, and the winter was colder than later generations, often reaching minus 30 degrees.

So many people were frostbitten when they were young and had arthritis.

Wang Tianxiao is very familiar with arthritis, because Wang Tianren died of arthritis in his last life.

It is said that there is not an inch of the whole body that does not hurt, and it is like death.

Wang Tianren died suddenly, saying that he ate something he shouldn't have eaten, and he was a bit suspected of committing suicide.
