Chapter 1323 Rural Family Gossip

In the first few days after returning to my hometown, I was a little uncomfortable. Little Wenchen was still a handsome man quietly. When he gave gifts to his unfamiliar friends in the village, he seemed a little shy.

But after adapting for a few days, the naughty child who was naughty in the village before going to school and who had been slapped countless times on the buttocks was completely revived.

Not to mention chasing dogs and chickens, holding a thin bamboo stick as a sword, and showing his swordsmanship with the not very tall rapeseed growing on the roadside, this is obviously looking for a beating.

In short, little Wenchen, who was a good boy in kindergarten, is now beaten and cried several times a day, which is not worthy of the two or three dirty coats he changed every day.

However, the child is obviously getting more and more naughty. At the beginning, he could stay calm for two or three hours after being beaten. Now he can only be beaten for ten minutes at most, and soon his tears are not dry and he is playing crazy with other children in the village.

The big rooster who chased him from behind just after returning and scared him so much that he went home without doing anything. It was hard to mess with the big goose, so we could only avoid it.

"Come here, don't step on it. If your shoes get wet, you'll see how your mother will beat you when you go back." Yang Dongxu shouted to Xiao Wenchen, who was among a group of naughty kids not far away, but he looked up and looked over here, and then his feet didn't move at all.

Not all the roads in Yangjia Village are tarmac roads, except for the main roads, which are convenient for people in the village and merchants in the market to enter and exit.

Other places are still dirt roads. As long as it rains heavily, the dirt roads in the countryside will be basically crushed into pieces when four-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles pass by, and the mud blocks will rise high, making the whole road bumpy.

And these raised mud blocks, and the gullies with some water behind the wheels, have become the best toys for children in winter. The frost in the early morning has not melted yet.

Whether walking on the ice in the gully, or using your feet, or using your head to break the thick ice. Or stepping with all your strength.

Stomping on the frozen hard mud blocks and letting the thin layer of unfrozen mud inside spray out can make these naughty kids have a lot of fun.

When playing on such roads, the most inevitable thing is that the ice in some places in the gullies rolled out by the wheels is relatively thin, so half of the foot is in the muddy water after one step.

Not to mention the thin mud squeezed out by the fierce stepping on the mud blocks, it is easy to spray everywhere. So when they go out to play in the morning, they are all clean and tidy and very cute, but in less than half a day, one of them becomes a dirty mud monkey.

Then there is the indispensable part of childhood, wiping tears while being beaten and changing clothes.

So as long as you hear a scream in the happy voices of the group of children shouting and shouting, you don’t need to ask to know that someone is dirty.

And in order to cover up the truth, the screams of these naughty children quickly disappear, and then continue to play happily, as if this can cover up the past.

Little did they know that playing in wet shoes would make their feet red from the cold when they returned home, and their mother's slap on their buttocks would be heavier, giving these naughty children who concealed the truth a more profound lesson.

"Where is the general? I heard that his child is about to be born, so he is accompanying his wife at home to take care of the pregnancy?" Yang Dongxu glanced at Xiao Wenchen, who was having fun playing on the muddy road with other children in the village, and yelled that it was useless, and simply ignored him.

Anyway, there is a washing machine and a water heater at home when the clothes are dirty, so washing clothes in winter is no longer as painful as before. Of course, he must be beaten before changing clothes.

"Early in the morning, I asked for half a fan of meat from the pork stall in the market, and pulled a full car of gifts to give to her father-in-law as a New Year gift." Daliang curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied with his cousin's activeness in this matter.

"Reconciled?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment.

He knew how the two of them quarreled with the woman's family when they got married before. Although Zhang Jing moved directly into the general's house with her luggage, her family had no choice but to accept the marriage. But the relationship between the two sides has never been very harmonious.

"Reconciliation is bullshit, it's just that Zhang Jing is a good person and she is the daughter-in-law of our Yang family. Otherwise, who would give face to his family? That time really pissed off the general. Usually, gifts are given on holidays for Zhang Jing's sake, otherwise they would not come to visit at all.

For example, this time, who would give half a fan of pork and a cart of gifts and eight big fish as gifts after the wedding? That is, the year before the wedding, Nanfang showed his importance to the woman and gave so many gifts.

According to our big customs here, two big fish, more than twenty pieces of pork and a box of wine are already high-end enough. Even if we in Yangjia Village have money and face, we can't be treated as fools, right?" Xiaowu also snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Sending so many gifts, is there something else?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask.

"What else could it be? Zhang Jing's younger brother is going to give a New Year's gift to his fiancée these days. He says he is from the city, but he is poor all year round.

It's okay to be poor, but he also wants to save face. So he can only come to ask his daughter who had never agreed to marry him before. Zhang Jing is a good person and decisive when faced with problems.

But our aunt is soft-hearted. When Zhang Jing's parents came to our house, they didn't make a fuss, but just wiped their tears, saying how difficult it was for their son to get engaged and how difficult it was for their son to find a wife.

Early in the morning, the general was taken out of bed by our aunt to be sent as a New Year gift, but at first the aunt wanted to give money. Zhang Jing did not agree, and directly ordered half a pork loin, a cart of gifts and eight large fish from the street as this year's New Year gifts.

Among so many gifts, most of them were for Zhang Jing's younger brother to send to his fiancée. The son sent the fiancée gift to his fiancée, but he actually asked his son-in-law to pay for it. Or the one who hanged himself and cut his neck before to prevent his daughter from marrying a son-in-law, there are no other such weird parents.

However, Zhang Jing is a good sister-in-law. If she gave money directly, her extreme parents would not know how to show off how generous the New Year gift from their son was, and how shabby the New Year gift from their son-in-law was this year.

Just pull a cart of New Year gifts and send it over, and everyone will watch. Her parents can't say that the general sent less gifts this year, right? "Xiao Liang was also very unhappy next to him.

"Okay, stop talking. Let's just mutter a few words, don't talk nonsense on the street, otherwise the general will be unhappy and it will be a slap in our own face. "Da Liang waved his hand to signal his younger brother to say less.

"Yes, just say a few words about this matter, just keep it in mind. But there is one thing I want to remind you of, Zhang Jing's parents seem to be looking for a job for her son.

I met the other party in the county before, and the other party wanted to take me to dinner with that leader, but I didn't agree at the time because I had something to do.

Unless Zhang Jing or the general speaks in person on this matter. Otherwise, we should just pretend that we didn't hear what the aunt and the father said. "Xiaowu said beside him.

Although Yangjia Village is not well developed, it ranks among the best in the whole county. When you go to the city and say that you are from Yangjia Village, you will not lose face and will also have more confidence.

But rural people like to work on their own small piece of land. Although there are many older people driving big cars now, they have made many connections in the county and other places.

But the ones who can really make a living in the county are still Xiaowu and his new generation. So it is very useful to find the older generation to find connections in the county for some small things.

If you want to introduce a job, especially a stable job that can be included in the establishment after working for a period of time. Xiaowu and others are more familiar with leaders who can speak to you than the older generation.

After all, the higher-level relationships of the older generation only reach the township level, and the county is indeed not as good as the new generation Xiaowu and others.

"You should also say hello to your father and mother. "After saying that, Xiao Wu gave Yang Dongxu a separate instruction.

The older generation's connections in the county are not as good as the new generation's, and this obviously does not include Yang's father and mother. After all, let alone the county, even in the city and the province, Yang's father and mother are also big names. It's just that the two of them don't show off, they just like to stay in Yangjia Village to feed pigs and chickens and live their own lives.

So once the auntie is soft-hearted and asks Yang's father and mother for help, this road must be blocked in advance.

"Don't worry, my mother doesn't like Zhang Jing's weird parents very much. So if the auntie goes to my mother to talk about this matter, my mother will definitely let Zhang Jing make the decision. ”

In fact, it’s not just Yang Ma, other people in the village are basically clear-sighted people. Everyone knows that the old lady is kind, so they will definitely help with other things.

But in the matter of Zhang Jing’s family, when they spend their own money to do things, such as the New Year gift this time, everyone will say a few words in private, and won’t say anything openly, after all, they spend their own money.

But if they find the door to help, it’s Zhang Jing’s family’s matter, let Zhang Jing say something, or let the general express his attitude.

Although this makes Zhang Jing feel a little caught in the middle, it is better than taking advantage of the kindness of the old lady. Zhang Jing, as a daughter-in-law, should bear more, not to mention that this is her own family’s matter, and she can only endure any grievances.

"Come to my house for dinner in the evening. It happened that when I came back from Zhucheng yesterday, I brought back a sheep from Inner Mongolia. Let’s go to the old house to have mutton hotpot today.

Zhou Ya and I don't usually live in the village. Although the old house is often cleaned, the courtyard is full of people for villagers to chat, but the house is a bit deserted. It's just right to go there to add some liveliness.

So bring your wife and children with you. I'll go back and move the barbecue grill out and wash it. Let your wife help thread the skewers in the afternoon. Eating mutton pot with skewers is also popular with children. "Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"That's great. The sheep in Inner Mongolia are good. Not only are the meat firm, but there are not so many strange smells. Don't fight with me for the wine. Last time I ran a transportation, there were a few boxes of good wine. I bought them back at half price. Leave two boxes for my dad and invite a few uncles to drink. We'll finish the rest tonight." Daliang said with a smile.

"Then call all the guys in Xu's house. "Yang Dongxu said.

Xiaowu and his friends didn't have any objections, after all, they were from the same village, and they didn't interact much except for repairing cars because they each had their own business. But it wouldn't hurt to sit together and drink a lot of wine at the end of the year to unite.
