The Local Lazy Man System

"Yeah, come on, you two smoke!"

Ye Rongrong took out a pack of Huaxia Cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to the two.

"Huaxia Smoke, what a smoke!"

The old man in a shabby cotton jacket took a Huaxia cigarette, sniffed it on his nose, and said happily.

The village is poor, and everyone usually smokes a pack of cigarettes that cost two yuan, that is, when someone's family holds a wedding, they can get a few Huaxia cigarettes.

The old man has heard that when the people at the foot of the mountain hold weddings, every table has a pack of Huaxia cigarettes, and everyone can get a pack of Huaxia cigarettes.

It's just that the people in my village are too poor. When holding weddings, it's still the same as before. There is only one pack of Huaxia cigarettes for each table. When drinking, everyone takes it out and shares two cigarettes per person.

This Huaxia Tobacco is precious, and I can't bear to smoke it in normal times!

"Old man, if you like to smoke, I will give you this pack of cigarettes."

Ye Rongrong gave the old man a pack of Huaxia Cigarettes directly.

Ye Rongrong's Qiankun ring now has a lot of Huaxia cigarettes, these were not bought by Ye Rongrong, some were confiscated in the supermarket last time, and some were given by others.

Ye Rongrong now knows a lot of rich people. These people know that Ye Rongrong does not accept expensive gifts, so they send cigarettes and alcohol to Ye Rongrong's house during the holidays, so that Ye Rongrong's family can open a tobacco shop.

"How embarrassing!"

Although the old man in a shabby cotton-padded jacket said he was embarrassed, his movements were not slow, and he took the Huaxia cigarette from Ye Rongrong's hand with one hand.

In China, tobacco and alcohol are the easiest way to bring people closer.

No, Ye Rongrong passed a pack of Huaxia cigarettes, and the relationship between everyone became familiar immediately.

Ye Rongrong also knew that the old man's name was Zhang Tianshan, who was still a villager in Yuanshan Village, and the middle-aged man's name was Xu Yongxin, who was from Anrui County.

"Brother Xu, are you also here to visit relatives in Yuanshan Village this time?"

Fang Bolin asked Xu Yongxin.

"no!"

Xu Yongxin glanced at Fang Bolin, and said with a blushing face.

To be honest, Xu Yongxin had lived half his life, and this was the first time he had spoken to such a pretty girl up close.

"He, he went to the village to marry a wife."

Zhang Tianshan said with a smile.

A pack of Huaxia cigarettes made Zhang Tianshan treat Ye Rongrong and the others as his own, and said everything.

"Marry a wife?"

Liu Qingqing and the others asked in surprise.

After all, Xu Yongxin looked to be in his forties, so how could he marry a wife!

Is he divorced.

"It's not because of poor words."

Xu Yongxin said with a sigh.

When I was young, my family was poor and there were many brothers. After the eldest brother and the second brother got married, the family had no money.

When it was Xu Yongxin's turn to get married, the family wanted a house but had no room, and money but no money, and the matchmaker was unwilling to match him.

Xu Yongxin, who has no education, earns money by doing manual labor. In the past few years, the salary of working on the construction site was low, and he often worked for more than half a year, but he still couldn't get paid.

In the past few years, the national policy has improved, the wages for manual labor have also increased, and I have saved a lot of money in the past few years, so I thought about marrying a daughter-in-law.

But the girls in the city look down on him, an older uncle, and Xu Yongxin looks down on those old ladies.

Xu Yongxin, who has some savings, doesn't want to wrong himself, and wants to marry a big girl.

The girls in the city look down on him, so they want to look for him in the countryside, but now the rural people in Anrui County have better living conditions, and their families are living a good life.

No one is willing to marry their young daughter to Xu Yongxin, a half-aged middle-aged man.

If Xu Yongxin is a rich boss, there may be young girls who are willing to marry him, but the key point is that Xu Yongxin is just a middle-aged uncle who does manual labor.

If he couldn't afford a mansion or drive a luxury car, naturally no young daughter would marry him.

He was dreaming of wanting a big girl with yellow flowers.

But after some inquiries, I heard that the girls in Yuanshan Village wanted to marry outside the village.

As long as you spend 30,000 to 50,000 yuan as a dowry, you can marry a beautiful yellow girl in Yuanshan Village.

Because Yuanshan Village is very poor, it is very economical to marry a daughter-in-law. You only need to buy some daughter-in-laws for the woman’s family, give the bride price, set up a banquet in the village, and treat the whole village to a banquet. The girl can take it home.

After Xu Yongxin inquired clearly, he asked someone to find someone through his relationship, and finally found the old man Zhang Tianshan. After several bargains, he married a big yellow girl with a dowry of 50,000 yuan. Today Xu Yongxin and Zhang Tianshan went to the mountain to see his wife.

As long as you are satisfied, you can arrange the marriage and bring your wife home.

"Go to Yuanshan Village to marry a daughter-in-law, the woman is optimistic?"

Ye Rongrong asked.

"Not yet, but I heard Uncle Zhang said that she is a nineteen-year-old girl with a yellow flower. You know that I am satisfied if I can marry such a young girl with a yellow flower at my age. As long as people are healthy, there is nothing wrong with it. The marriage is over."

Now that it's all said and done, Xu Yongxin has no embarrassment anymore.

Besides, it is actually a very proud thing for a middle-aged man of his age to be able to marry a nineteen-year-old yellow flower girl.

You must know that in the city, just like him, not to mention marrying a young girl with yellow flowers, even those young married women who have been divorced are not willing to marry him.

"What's the difference between this and buying a daughter-in-law!"

Fang Bolin said dissatisfied.

Fang Bolin, who received higher education since she was a child, said very dissatisfied that she could not see such a thing.

"What are you talking about!"

Zhang Tianshan immediately looked at Fang Bolin with dissatisfaction and said.

How can this be called buying a daughter-in-law? The village is poor, and there is nothing wrong with young girls in the village wanting to marry outside the village. It is all voluntary.

"Linlin!"

Ye Rongrong said with a wink at Bo Lin.

There are some things that you can understand in your heart, don't say it out, so as not to make others unhappy.

And this kind of thing, to be honest, often happened in the countryside many years ago.

Girls in poor areas will choose to marry someone who is much older than themselves or a man with some disabilities in order to reduce the burden on the family or to marry someone with a better family to live a rich life.

To put it bluntly, it is actually caused by "poor".

Fortunately, the country's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and the living conditions of rural people have improved. These young men and women began to fall in love freely and get married freely.

This was impossible before.

In the past, when girls talked about boyfriends, their family members would check them out. If the other party's family background was poor and they couldn't give too much dowry, the matter would fall through.

"Oh!"

Fang Bolin responded and stopped talking.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be angry. She grew up in the city and doesn't understand our rural affairs."

Ye Rongrong said to Zhang Tianshan.

"Hey, it's all caused by poverty!"

Zhang Tianshan said with a sigh.

To be honest, they are all from the same village, and everyone is related to each other. The girls in the village are basically the younger generation of Zhang Tianshan.

Zhang Tianshan also thinks that his juniors can have a good belonging and marry a good family.

But this society pays attention to being well-matched, and many girls in poor mountain valleys can't read a few characters. It is difficult to marry a good family outside the village.

Seeing these girls in the village marry men who are old enough to be their fathers, or marry men with some disabilities, Zhang Tianshan feels very uncomfortable!

But there's no way around it, it's all the fault of "poor"!

"Haven't the people in the village thought about moving to live outside the village, or working outside the village?"

Fang Bolin asked suspiciously.

"A few years ago, the state had a policy to move out of the village. Unfortunately, at that time, the villagers were reluctant to part with the fields in the village. Now it is difficult to move out of the village. There is no land for so many people in the village. Moreover, it is difficult to buy land and build houses. It requires a lot of money, and no one in the village can afford that much money."

Zhang Tianshan said sadly.

It's all the old ideas that kill people, and let the village miss an opportunity to get rid of poverty.

"It's very profitable to work outside now."

Ye Rongrong said.

"Most of the people in the village are rough and illiterate. They don't even know how to sit in a car when they go out, and they often get lost. How can they work part-time? After going out a few times, they all come back. There will be no more in the future." A villager is willing to go out to work."

Zhang Tianshan said with some sadness.

People in the village also want to go out to work to earn money, but the big bastards who can't read a single word can't even ride in a car when they go out, and they often get lost in the city.

Many times because I got lost in the city, the police finally sent me back.

The most important thing is that the people in the village basically can't speak Mandarin, and they can't communicate with the police.

It's okay to work in the nearby area. At the very least, everyone can understand the local dialect. If you get lost, the police can still communicate. Once you leave Anrui County, getting lost is a very troublesome thing.

A few years ago, people in the village went out to work, and many people got lost. The biggest job of the village cadres in the village was to go to the nearby police stations to find people.

So much so that people in the village dare not go out to work these years. At most, they do some part-time jobs at the foot of the mountain, but how much work can there be at the foot of the mountain!

This is why the cadres in the village went to the township and town to petition again and again, asking the township and town to build a hope primary school for the village.

I just don't want the children's generation to be as illiterate as their parents, unable to travel far, and live in poverty.

Knowledge changes destiny, no matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education. This is the truth summed up by the young and old in Yuanshan Village over the years.

This is why Li Xia, a volunteer teacher, is so respected in Yuanshan Village.

Zhang Tianshan believes that in another ten years, the younger generation in the village will be able to go out to work, and will no longer encounter the predicament of their parents who cannot survive in the city.

"It's almost there, let's hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up with dinner tonight."

Zhang Tianshan didn't want to say more on this topic, he felt a little ashamed, looked at the old watch in his hand, and said to Ye Rongrong and the others.

This watch is about Zhang Tianshan introducing a girl in the village to an older young man outside the village, who gave him his old watch. It has been in this area for ten years.

The quality of this mechanical watch is very good. After ten years, the hands still move.
