Chapter 122 Quarrel
The brigade party secretary, Uncle Gao and the village cadres finally arrived, together with people from the township power supply station. They sat in the front row facing everyone. The brigade party secretary coughed a few times with some dignity, and there was a buzzing discussion.
A little bit smaller.
The brigade party secretary is not a talkative person, so it was Uncle Gao who took the lead in saying a few opening remarks.
Uncle Gao spoke very provocatively. First he talked about some of the benefits of electricity: for example, there is no need to light dark kerosene lamps at night. Every household can dig their own wells, buy a water pump and put it in. Just press the switch and the water will flow.
It automatically pumps into the water tank, so you no longer have to work hard to carry water, etc.!
As expected of a cadre, he is very good at the art of language. Having said so much, there is always something that can touch your heart.
Sure enough, everyone looked a little relaxed. At this time, Uncle Gao started to talk about money, and the whole process suddenly became quiet. This is what everyone is most concerned about.
"We have calculated that it would cost ninety yuan to share it per family in our village." As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar, and there was no need to say more. Many people even wondered if someone was benefiting from it, otherwise how could they ask for so much?
Uncle Gao stood up, pressed his hands down, and shouted louder: "Listen to me, it was originally going to be ninety, but since we are the first village to pull the wire, the brigade will subsidize part of it, and the village will also subsidize a little, so
After all, we only need to share fifty for each family."
It has been reduced from ninety to fifty. Although it is still a lot, it seems not so difficult to accept.
We just harvested rice this year, and we all planted high-quality rice. We harvested a lot more grain, and every family has a surplus of grain. In addition, the Yang family and the Zhou family received the goods, and the beans, fruits, mushrooms picked in the mountains, fungus, and wild pepper
, dried bamboo shoots, etc. were all exchanged for money. For everyone, it is indeed not cheap, but it is not affordable.
There are no power lines in the neighboring villages, and their village is the first to eat crabs. The reason why the brigade party secretary wants to start mobilization from here is because this village is a little richer.
The old people who have been in the village all their lives are not willing to do it. They have been used to lighting kerosene lamps all their lives. But the young people all agree. The rice beater and flour grinder really touched everyone's mind.
Yang Liu chuckled and whispered to Lin Zhiyu: "Uncle Gao is very good. If he said from the beginning that there was a subsidy, and the family only needed to give fifty, everyone would think why fifty is so much, our family can't afford it? But?
Now the order is reversed. First, it is said to be 90, but because it is the first village, it is subsidized. This makes everyone seem to be taking advantage. Even those who want to see it again are afraid that this advantage will be taken by other villages.
Already."
Lin Zhiyu thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement: "It's really like this. First, we say a result that no one can accept, and then lower the standard, and everyone seems to be able to accept it. It's like a piece of candy, which originally sold for 50 cents, suddenly increased to 1 yuan.
It’s unacceptable, but when it suddenly rises to two yuan, everyone says they can’t afford it, but after a period of time it drops to one yuan, everyone will feel that it’s finally cheap.”
Looking at the divergent opinions, he couldn't decide for a while. Seeing that the sun was shining, Yangliu didn't want to waste time here, so he stood up and said: "Uncle Gao, our family agrees to install electricity!"
Uncle Gao was very grateful when he saw her taking the lead in expressing her stance. Someone slapped her on the head, which made the matter easier to handle: "Yang Liu, your family is very enlightened!"
As soon as Yang Liu sat down after speaking, someone immediately started shouting: "Yang Liu, you are married. You and Yang Jiang are not the same family. Can't you contribute a share?"
Yang Liu turned his head and glanced over there, and said to the leaders: "Our family will give out two copies, one for me and Yang Jiang each, so my parents don't have to pay separately, right?"
Everyone looked at each other, and there was a buzz of discussion: "What a rich man! His expression doesn't change even after saying this."
The Yangliu family is quite special. Lin Zhiyu is an educated youth who went to the countryside. Yangliu also lives at home after getting married. In fact, it makes sense to insist that there is no separation of the family. But now that she has openly told two things, everyone feels even more uncomfortable. It is really jealousy.
People's hearts are twisted.
Someone laughed in a low voice: "Of course I won't feel bad if it's not my own money."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him laughed lowly and glanced at Yangliu with ambiguous and disdainful eyes.
"It's not my family's money. Could it be that I stole it or robbed it?" Yang Liu replied coldly: "Since you dare to speak ill of people, you should have the courage to stand up and say it to your face. Are you the sneaky rat?
?”
This man was timid and hid in the crowd and did not dare to make a sound. However, there were always people who were not afraid of Yang Liu and dared to challenge him in public. One old woman relied on her age and shouted loudly: "Yang Liu, of course your family has earned so much money.
Don’t be afraid, but what can we give you if we don’t have money? You are so capable, why don’t you help us out together? Think of it as accumulating good deeds. I, the old woman, will go to the temple during the Chinese New Year to ask the Bodhisattva to bless you!”
These words were so unreasonable that Yang Liu almost laughed in anger.
Aunt Six was afraid that Young Liu Yang would suffer a loss, so she stood up and put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Who are you from the Yang family and you want them to help you pay? I think you are old and confused. When you are old, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Come back quickly."
Go home!”
People around her who were friends with the Yang family also criticized the old woman, and the old woman also fought back hard. There were also people around her who supported her, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
Yang Liu asked Aunt Six and others to sit down, then turned around and stared at the old woman with a faint smile: "Grandma, as long as you can make me happy, what will happen if I give out your family's money? But what you said made me unable to
It’s comfortable, so why would I be willing to help you pay for it?”
She glanced at the people who were still talking about her: "Whether my money comes easily or not is none of your business! If you have that time, it's better to work more and gossip less! Who has no right and wrong behind his back? Let alone accumulating blessings or not.
Let’s build up our moral integrity first.”
After finishing speaking, his cold eyes were fixed on Zhou Fen's mother, Zhou Fen's mother must be the one responsible for spreading the rumors.
Zhou Fen's mother turned her face aside, not daring to look at Yang Liu.
The old woman pursed her lips and muttered something. Although she couldn't explain clearly, the expression on her face was definitely not good.
Yang Liu continued to ask: "Grandma, I can't hear what you are saying. Please speak louder!"
"What did I say? I said your money came from improper sources, that you were hooking up with other people outside!" The old woman didn't believe that Yang Liu would give her any money. She was immediately angry when a young man ignored her and forced her to ask.
.
Some old people are smart, but some people who are not smart to begin with will become even more stupid when they get older. This is the case with this old woman.
Lin Zhiyu stood up and stood next to Yangliu and looked at the old woman with a cold face: "Grandma, I am Yangliu's man. We are together every day and we don't know when she has hooked up. Where did you hear that? Is it you?
Have you seen it with your own eyes? If you are just talking nonsense without evidence, I will pursue it to the end."
As soon as he appeared, the noisy Bazi suddenly became quiet.
This is the case in the countryside. No matter whether a man is strong or weak, as long as he is alive, he is the head of the family. Talking about his wife's right and wrong in front of him is still too much.
