Chapter 16 Rich and Noble Officials
Fugui! I heard from you that uncle is old now and I don’t want to worry too much anymore. But Fugui, you are smart and capable, and only you can lead the villagers in the village to make a good life!
"Uncle Tianyou, Fugui really can't do this, and it's impossible. There are so many capable people in the village. If you feel tired and don't want to do it, look for them. Fugui, who has just become two babies, still needs to be managed in everything at home!" Zhang Fugui said.
Wealthy! Although you are old and your uncle, my eyes are a little dazed, but my heart is as bright as a mirror. Who else can lead the villagers to live a good life besides you?
"Uncle Tianyou, I dare not say that. Dazhuang and Uncle Renyi in our village are all capable people, and Banxian is also a god. How can I say that in our village, I can live the situation of the people in our village!" Zhang Fugui said.
"Wealth! The ones you said are all paper that are not good at using it. Benevolence and righteousness are just as benevolence and righteous as he does things. I don't know how to adapt. Banxian helped others to calculate their lives for a lifetime, but his own life is not that way. As for Dazhuang, although he is more sincere in his work, he is also a brave but unscheming master. If he handed over the village chief to them, I would not be at all relieved!" Zhang Tianyou said.
Just when Fugui wanted to reject Zhang Tianyou, Zhang Tianyou knelt on the ground all of a sudden and said with a sob: "Fugui, if you don't agree to me, I won't get up." After seeing this, Fugui hurriedly squatted down and wanted to help Zhang Tianyou up, but Zhang Tianyou still knelt on the ground. Fugui said anxiously: "Uncle Tianyou, what are you doing! How can you kneel down to me? This will cost my life!"
"Fugui! Then you promise your Uncle Tianyou's request! If you don't agree to Uncle, Uncle will kneel down forever," Zhang Tianyou said in a whimpering voice.
Zhang Fugui was helpless and hurriedly said from his mouth: "Uncle Tianyou, I promise you that, get up quickly, but don't fall into the root of the disease. If you kneel down, you will think that Fugui will treat you when you come back in the future."
Zhang Fugui carefully supported Zhang Tianyou who was kneeling on the ground, supported Zhang Tianyou to sit on the wooden bench beside him, and then said, "Uncle, I just happened to be cooking some rice at home, so I can have a good meal of the food from my own fields at home! This tastes so fragrant."
As he was talking, Zhang Fugui handed a bowl of white rice in a bowl to Zhang Tianyou's hand. The heat from the rice grains floated into Zhang Tianyou's nose. Fugui put several bowls of big white rice in a bowl and handed it to his wife Li Jianmei. His father Zhang Youcai also brought a bowl of big white rice himself.
It’s not that there is no food at home, but this day is a bit special, so I ate big white rice at noon today. After all, these cooked rice grains are grown from the crops they grow. The taste is not the same. When I pick it up with bamboo chopsticks and put it in my mouth and chew it, it starts sweet and then feels refreshing. For them, this is more like the Manchu Han chew, chicken, duck, fish and meat.
After dinner, Zhang Tianyou said goodbye to Fugui's family and walked home step by step with sticks. He passed by every household in the village and then returned home with sticks.
Zhang Tianyou looked up at the ancestral tablets placed in the main room of his home, and then looked at his stupid son Zhang Jianjun who was in the inner room with a low head and a loose hair. He thought of his second son Zhang Jianguo. He looked forward to Jianguo coming back. When he returned to him, he sobbed a few times and started crying.
The stupid son Zhang Jianjun saw Zhang Tianyou crying alone in the main room, so he walked out of the inner room. Seeing Zhang Tianyou crying like a tearful person, the stupid son Zhang Jianjun also cried with Zhang Tianyou for no reason. The whole room was the sob of the father and son.
At this time, Zhang Youcai's house was crying loudly. Li Jianmei was sitting on the head of the bed and hugging these two crying dolls. After all, Zhang Youcai was a veteran. He knew that the child was crying because of the fact that he hurriedly asked Li Jianmei to feed the two dolls.
The two dolls sucked the breast milk of Li Jianmei's wife back and forth. After eating, they stopped crying. They lay quietly on the bed, with their eyes open and their tongues licking their mouths. Zhang Fugui half-squatted aside and looked at the two fat boys lying on the bed. From time to time, they touched the hands of the two dolls with their hands, and said happily: "Shaoping, Shaoan, your name is Shaoping, his name is Shaoan, you can't mess it up, otherwise this brother will become a younger brother."
The woman Li Jianmei looked at her husband Zhang Fugui with joy and said to Fugui: "Fugui, you just promised Uncle Tianyou to be the village chief of our village, but you must not be a joke, but don't let Uncle Tianyou and his fellow villagers down for your expectations!"
After hearing what his wife Li Jianmei said, Zhang Fugui raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Jianmei, I will definitely take my promise to Uncle Tianyou's affairs to heart. I will definitely try my best to lead our villagers to live the current situation. However, the county has just issued a red-headed document to implement the responsibility system. I think I will let the villagers divide the land first. If we farmers want to live the situation well, we should manage the land first. This is the most important thing!"
Li Jianmei looked at her husband Fugui's face with a confident smile, and then laughed, and said from her mouth: "Fugui! I believe you, I believe you can lead the villagers to live a good life. If you need me, I will help you. It is not as the saying goes: "A couple has a hundred days of kindness, and a couple is like a deep sea when they are a hundred days of gratitude."
After listening to what his wife Jianmei said, Fugui felt a little excited. He said to Jianmei: "Jianmei, relax your heart. Fugui will definitely let our family and our villagers live a good life!"
After standing aside, Zhang Youcai heard what his son Fugui and his daughter-in-law Jianmei said, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and said in his heart: "Fugui, have you heard it? Fugui grows up and can help the old man support this family. I have a support for the old man. When my grandson grows up, our family will definitely come to your grave to burn paper and burn incense for you, so that you can see the situation of our family. You can rest assured that you are there! When the old man, I will definitely go over and chat with you a hundred years later."
Since Zhang Fugui became the village chief of Zhangjia Village, he led the villagers to measure the land in the village and distributed each household to the head of the people, so that the villagers would not have any opinions or disputes.
Since every household in the village was assigned to the ground, they got up early and went to the ground with a smile, and put all their strength into the crops. Although they were sweating profusely, they were so happy that they couldn't stop.
Two years have passed in a flash. In the past, Zhangjia Village was so poor that it was too poor to eat, and could not wear warm clothes, and even his wife could not get married. Now, Zhangjia Village is getting more and more comfortable, and every household is no longer worried about the ginger of their stomachs because they are not able to eat enough, nor is it worried about whether their bodies are warm, nor is it worried about whether these young young children in the village can marry their wives.
Zhang Dazhuang's brother Zhang Erzhuang also found Liu Shuangxi, the daughter of Liu Laohan, the old man Liujia Village next door. On this day, Zhangjia Village was in a lively scene. The villagers liked the lively, and everyone could help and take care of each other's happiness. The whole village knew that Zhang Dazhuang's brother Zhang Erzhuang was going to get married, so they hurried to Zhang Dazhuang's house to see if he could help or take it out of the house if he was missing something.
Zhang Erzhuang got married and kept his brother Zhang Dazhuang busy. He was the only one who was in charge of finding people to find tables and bowls to buy things. People in the village always like to joke and say, "Dazhuang, your brother Erzhuang is getting married, why are you anxious? Could it be that this wedding night flower can also ask you, the brother, to help me?"
After hearing this, Dazhuang just touched his head. After all, how can the jokes of the villagers in the countryside be serious? Dazhuang's brother Erzhuang got married. This is really the biggest joy for his family, and the first thing he should have notified was the village chief Zhang Fugui.
Zhang Dazhuang hurried to Fugui's home and said in front of Fugui's family with a smile: "Fugui, my brother Erzhuang is married to a new wife today, so you must go and help more! If your sister-in-law Jianmei is not busy, you can also help."
After standing aside, Zhang Youcai heard what Zhang Dazhuang said, he smiled and said to Dazhuang: "Dazhuang! It seems that the situation in our village has been around, otherwise how long will it take! Your brother Erzhuang is going to get married."
"Uncle Talented, isn't it? The lives of our villagers in the past two years are getting better and better, and they are getting more and more prosperous. My brother Erzhuang is going to marry a new wife. All of this is better than the national policy! Of course, Brother Fugui has also been worried about our village a lot," Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile.
"Yes! If it weren't for the support of the Party and the state's policies, our villagers wouldn't have lived such a good life. Thanks to the country and the government," Zhang Youcai said with a smile.
"Da Zhuang! Go back first to help your brother Second Zhuang arrange the program, I will come here later," said Zhang Fugui.
"Can Sister Jianmei help me out together?" Zhang Dazhuang asked in confusion.
"Da Zhuang! I'll wait until your sister-in-law Jianmei feeds the child milk before going over. Don't worry, your brother Erzhuang's marriage is bound to be your sister-in-law Jianmei!" Zhang Fugui said.
After hearing this, Dazhuang nodded happily, then walked out of Fugui's house, and hurriedly rushed home to see if there was anything else to do. After all, his brother Erzhuang got married, so he couldn't be careless.
