Chapter 73 The Harvest Beyond Farce
Chapter 73: Gains Beyond Far
Liu He stared straight at Yang Bei for a moment, then looked at Xia Xiang with a few more eyes, and suddenly waved his hand to the person behind him and said, "Secretary Li is here, why are you still standing stupidly? Tell me quickly."
The four people behind him bent down together and shouted in unison: "Hello Secretary Li!"
Xia Xiang almost couldn't help laughing. What's wrong with Liu He learning? He insisted on learning the underworld from Hong Kong films. The country is not as good as Hong Kong, and there is no soil for the growth of the underworld. He pretends to behave well, but at a glance, he knows that it's a mob. All the only worry in his heart disappeared, and waved to Liu He and said, "Liu He, the opera has been performed enough, and you have face, you can leave..." He looked at Yang Bei again, "Take all the irrelevant people away, don't hinder our mood for eating."
Seeing that Xia Xiang suddenly changed into indifferent appearance, Yang Bei's hesitation steps became even hesitant. She looked at Liu He and Xia Xiang again. The tears in her eyes finally flowed down unscrupulously: "Xia Xiang, I'm sorry..."
"You can live a happy life, just be worthy of yourself. We were strangers before we met, so after we ended, we should be strangers again! Today's encounter is a misunderstanding. Since it is a misunderstanding, now it is clear that everything will pass like this..." Yang Bei didn't explain a word. She had such a snobbish mother and found a boyfriend like Liu He. Xia Xiang suddenly became unhappy and couldn't even raise the idea of accuse her. No matter whether it was wrong or not, she didn't even have the courage to face it now. What's the point of him holding on to the past and not letting go? It's better to let go.
The sun shone on Xia Xiang's face, making his expression look lonely and decisive, and there is a faint feeling of depression...
Liu He, Niu Hongmei and Yang Bei walked for a long time, but Li Dingshan still looked bad and walked around the yard with his hands behind his back. Jia He was the most thoughtful. After a while, he asked Xia Xiang about Yang Bei. Xia Xiang refused to tell him, so he pestered him, which made Xia Xiang sigh, who said gossip is a woman's nature, and older young men also have the potential to gossip.
After waiting for a while, seeing Li Dingshan slowly calming his anger, Xia Xiang came over and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, we have only been to Ba County for a few days? They have been staying for many years. Besides, didn't they just call a few people to ask us together?"
Li Dingshan couldn't help laughing and scolded: "I know what you want to say, don't hide it from me. I used to be a reporter and I have been working in writing. I still don't know if you want to persuade me not to rush to fight them? If you have anything, just say it clearly. I really don't understand what's going on with you. There is a girlfriend in Ba County, who didn't say it earlier, and she was snatched away by Liu He. It's so cowardly!"
Xia Xiang shook her head heartlessly and sighed: "It's going to rain and her girlfriend wants to run away. Who can control it? There are some things in this world that can be done with hard work, and there is no way to worry about some things, such as women's hearts. I and her college classmate for four years, and they fell in love for two years, and broke up after half of graduation. Now that they have to go with the county magistrate, it's equivalent to climbing a high branch and getting happiness. I can't stick to it, and I have to live a poor life with me, a poor boy, right?"
Having said that, Xia Xiang still felt a little painful in his heart. From beginning to end, Yang Bei had no intention of explaining to him. Could it be that her sweet words that she had sweared to be lies? In the past, she always saw men unfaithful, but in fact, women are no worse than men when they are heartless.
Li Dingshan saw that Xia Xiang was a little disappointed. He knew that young people were unable to think about their relationship for a while, so he joked: "Don't think about it, everything has passed. Listen to me, Xiaoxia, Yan City, I know many rich and powerful people, many of whom have daughters, and some of them are about the same age as you. Then see which one is suitable to introduce you to one, which is not better than the one in Ba County? It's better not to be a woman who is in love with someone else, and there is nothing to be left to nostalgic for."
While speaking, Huang Hai finally came back panting. It turned out that he had made a bag of mushrooms and bracken. The man was so tired that his face was pale and almost exhausted. He said in a suffocation: "Don't think it's too little, I can't dig anymore, I'm so tired... Can it be worth 10 yuan?"
Xia Xiang couldn't speak. I don't know if he should sigh at his simplicity and seriousness, or be sad that he worked hard for 10 yuan! He hurriedly took the sack, which was heavy and weighed 100 kilograms, and almost couldn't handle it. Thanks to Jia He helping him with his hand to hold it. Xia Xiang patted Huang Hai's shoulder, and took out 20 yuan from his body and stuffed it into his hand: "Thank you, man, thank you for your hard work."
Huang Hai held the 20 yuan, but didn't understand what was going on for a while. He took a few breaths before he woke up. He quickly turned red and said with a thick neck to return the money to Xia Xiang: "I promised to be 10 yuan for 10 yuan, and what's the point of giving 20 yuan? I dug a little, not enough for 30 yuan. This is not enough, too much." I don't know what Huang Hai calculated based on. Could it be that a sack of mushrooms and bracken in his eyes is worth 10 yuan?
Xia Xiang didn't be polite to him, and slapped his hands hard: "Take it for you. I'll work for you in the future. Is it okay? I said Huanghai, the villagers don't know what Liu He asked them to dig out mushrooms and bracken?"
"I know, I know a little bit, I can sell it for money!" Huang Hai received the money and was so polite to Xia Xiang. He almost nodded and replied with a smile, his face full of laughter.
"Then do your work and work for him for free?"
"It's not entirely true. Liu He also gave some money, but the village cadres can't get to our hands. There are also people who work hard to dig wild vegetables, and when they take them away, the village will reduce some of them, which can be considered as compensation. How can we say, everyone knows that they sell them for money, but we don't have the ability and don't know where to sell them, so just this strength is idle..." Perhaps it's the role of 20 yuan, Huang Hai talks a lot, and he doesn't finish it, which makes Li Dingshan, who is on the side, feels extremely disgusted by Liu Shixuan and his son. He is not only arrogant but also pretends to be public and private!
Xia Xiang didn't want to give Huanghai a little more money, but it was better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. The so-called emergency rescue but not to save the poor. There are many things to do to fundamentally change their poverty, rather than relying on alms. The consequences of alms can only make them lazy. The money they get without effort can turn an honest farmer into a cunning and greedy villain in a blink of an eye. Later, an earthquake occurred in a poor mountainous area in Yan Province. People from all over the country donated money enthusiastically, and the disaster relief funds and various materials were far more than the local losses. The farmers not only lived in adobe houses and the country provided free brick and tile houses, but also robbed supplies, hiding a large amount of instant noodles at home, causing mold, and not allowing the People's Liberation Army soldiers who were tired and hungry due to emergency rescue and disaster relief to take a bite. Once this incident was reported, a very promising person couldn't help but comment: "Poor mountains and bad waters, shrews and troublemakers!"
