A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

Widow Wang filled the big basin in the yard with water early in the morning, and made breakfast before the two children got up.

When my family was poor, they only had two meals a day, a slightly dry sweet potato rice at noon, and thin porridge in the afternoon.

It's not that Widow Wang doesn't want to feed the two children better, it's that the family is so poor that they are almost out of control.Before the three generations of the Wang family, it was not considered an only seedling, and there were still a few relatives who could help.

But when it came to Widow Wang's father-in-law's generation, there were only two brothers in total, and the relationship was not very close.As a result, as soon as Widow Wang's father-in-law died, that brother directly occupied most of the Wang family's land, which almost made Widow Wang's mother-in-law and man unable to survive.

So the family's assets and so on, from the time Widow Wang married, she knew that there were very few.Except for the two bamboo hills behind the yard, which no one wanted in the village before, there was only three mu of low-grade land, which was later reclaimed by the men of the mother-in-law and the widow Wang from the wasteland.

Fortunately, the benefits of having a small family can still be reflected a little, eating less.In recent years, those three acres of low-grade fields have managed to support people.

In the generation of Widow Wang's men, there are no brothers to help, let alone after the death of Widow Wang's men.

It was because Widow Wang was tough that no one would bully her.But for so many years, life is also tight.Her natal family saw her as pitiful, so they helped her from time to time.

But Widow Wang’s natal family’s conditions are not very good. In the past, when the brothers didn’t marry their daughters-in-law, the two sides could be better. Now several brothers in the family have married their wives and have their own small family. Widow Wang herself knows that she can’t go back often. It affects the family.

After finally pulling his son to eight years old, his daughter survived and raised him to six years old.Although the two children are skinny, they are obedient and sensible, which comforts Widow Wang a lot.

I thought that this kind of life would continue for more than ten years, at least until my son could stand up before it could change.

Unexpectedly, this year the village just changed a village head, and she has already seen the hope of a better life!

The new village head, Jian Ping, is a man of great ability.I used to learn skills from the old gods when I was young, but I didn't show much in the past few years because of the bad times.

Now that the world is just a little bit better, I will come out immediately to save the suffering.

The people in Jian's Village have all called the old scholar now the old fairy.Think about it, if it wasn't for that old god, how could the apprentice he taught be so powerful!

Although Widow Wang does not have the intelligence of a scholar, she has a lot of wisdom tempered by life.

So even if she didn't take that old fairy seriously in her heart, it didn't stop Widow Wang from saying nice things about Jian Ping every day.

The so-called old fairy didn't take it seriously because Widow Wang remembered better than anyone else when their family was poor, and they were better than that old scholar's family.

At least she survived as a woman with two children waiting to be fed, but the old scholar starved to death.

If it was really some old god, it would be a bit disgraceful to die.

And there is another old saying, it is better to be in charge now than to be in charge.So no matter what kind of old fairy or scholar he is, it is someone else to Widow Wang.

But the little village head Jian Ping is different, the real money that the little village head brings to their family every day is enough for Widow Wang to fear Jian Ping.If it can make Jian Ping happier, Widow Wang doesn't even mind setting up a longevity tablet for the other party and offering it every day.

As long as Jian Ping can make her earn money, as long as Jian Ping can let her raise the two children well, as long as Jian Ping can let their family live a good life, Widow Wang doesn't mind treating her as a god at all.

Widow Wang put the last bucket of water next to the wooden basin, and then quietly watched the water in the basin not move.People who have been tempered by life are more likely to see human nature clearly.

The new village chief Jian Ping is very capable, no one will deny that.But Widow Wang saw it more clearly, she was also a vengeful person.

The village head is now in bond with Tian Wen, so everyone may have forgotten about the past.But Widow Wang doesn't know, Widow Wang remembers clearly, she discovered the tricky relationship between Jian Ping and Tian Wen very early on.It's just that I didn't think it had anything to do with me before, so I haven't been involved in anything.

And the bad things about Lao Tian's family were exposed after Tian Wen and Jian Ping got married.Speaking of which, she also contributed a lot to it. At that time, she didn't think it was a big deal. Later, she thought about it, wasn't it because she was used as a knife.

When she first figured it out, Widow Wang was also angry.He thought that the other party saw her as a widow and easy to bully, so he used her as a knife.But what happened later made Widow Wang calm down, and felt that even if she was used as a knife by the other party, it was actually no big deal.

Last month, the head of the small village set up a number of [Five Guarantees Households].Although Widow Wang still hasn't figured out which five-guarantee households are, it doesn't stop Widow Wang from being grateful to Jian Ping for including their family in that list.

There are 150 households in Jianjia Village, but there are only five households in the first batch of five-guarantee households.After careful observation, they are all families who are about to be unable to uncover the pot.

For example, Grandma Wu, a lonely old man in the west of the village, and a family of three with three children under ten years old in the east.Seriously, the situation in Widow Wang's family is actually the best among the five families.

Although it is uncertain what the five-guarantee households are guaranteed, the village head has already spoken, and their five families can bring twenty catties of clean bamboo leaves to the village every day.Each of their five families can send one person to Jane's house to help, and the wages are ten Wen a day.

What I do is not to help arrange bamboo leaves, but also to help serve tea and water. Grandma Wu is a little older, and she is responsible for organizing things.It's just such a little easy work, but there is a wage of ten cents a day.

Considering that the person born in their family is the eight-year-old daughter Miaozi, Widow Wang can already understand some of the village chief's intentions.The little village chief told her clearly that he had used her before, and because she was doing a good job, he didn't mind giving their family some sweets.

Seeing that the family life is getting better and better, Widow Wang is becoming more and more afraid of Jian Ping, the new village chief.But Widow Wang can be seen that Jian Ping is not a petty person.

The new village head can even be considered a generous person, as long as you don't mess with him and don't do things that make him unhappy, then he doesn't mind making you happy at all.

Widow Wang took a deep breath, and her eyes became much firmer.She doesn't mind being used by the new village chief a few more times, as long as their family's life can continue to be so easy, maybe Tie Zhu can go to a private school or something in the future.

Only by being able to read and write can Tie Zhu have some hope in the future.

"Mother!" Widow Wang was still in deep thought when she heard a voice calling from behind.Turning his head, he just saw two children who had packed up and came out of the house.

Looking at her son Tie Zhu and daughter Miaozi, the expression on Widow Wang's always sharp face eased a lot.

"Are you up? Hurry up and wash up with my sister. I left a meal for you on the stove, and there is an egg for each of you. Remember to finish eating later, you know?"

Widow Wang looked at her two sons and daughters and smiled softly. When it came to eggs, her eyes became firmer.In the past, there were two meals a day and one meal was similar to water.For so many years, children can only eat a bite of meat during the New Year and holidays, and eggs are even more of a luxury item.

But now, she can also take good care of her two children!

"Mom, have you eaten yet?" The two children ran to Widow Wang first, and surrounded Widow Wang from left to right.Two thin, palm-sized faces, set off by a pair of eyes that are extraordinarily large.

Seeing the sensibleness of the two children, Widow Wang's heart became even sweeter. "Eat, eat, mother has already eaten. Don't worry, our family's life will get better and better in the future, and no one will go hungry!"

"En!" The two children nodded fiercely when they heard Widow Wang's words, and then went to wash and have breakfast.After breakfast, the two brothers and sisters were going to pick up bamboo leaves on the bamboo mountain behind their house. An hour later, Miaozi went to Jian's house to help, and Tie Zhu continued to work at home.Picking bamboo leaves and chopping bamboo, Tie Zhu can already do these things.

And Widow Wang will soak the cut bamboo strips in water, then dry them, and then weave them into things purchased by Jian's family.Like summer mats, bamboo hats and even some small gadgets, as long as she can make them, Jane's family will accept them.

Thinking of this, Widow Wang felt that her whole body was full of strength.

Life in Jian's Village gradually got better, and Jian Ping's money also increased.However, it is still a bit difficult for the time being to become a 'ten thousand household'.

Of the 5000 taels at the beginning, now he only has a thousand taels left in his hands, and the 500 taels he earned later is also in his hands.But looking at the only 500 taels left, and thinking about the 1 taels he handled, Jian Ping had to look up at the sky, feeling that he was spending money a little too fast.

The 500 taels given to Tian Wen naturally couldn't be counted among them, after all, it was pocket money and peace of mind money for Tian Wen.As a man with machismo in his bones, Jian Ping will not stop Tian Wen from his career, nor does he feel that Tian Wen should stay at home to take care of himself, but as a big man, it is a matter of providing for the family. Jian Ping insisted.

So the matter of giving Tian Wen 30 taels of silver every month was also recorded in Jian Ping's small notebook.Regardless of whether Tian Wenhua spends it or not, the money should be given.

Now he is still making money at a slow rate, so he can only give so much. When he earns more in the future, he will naturally be able to give more.

Jian Ping sat on the bench at the door, drew a few strokes on the straw paper, and a reclining chair appeared vividly on the straw paper.Summer can be miserable without an air conditioner, but if you don’t even have a recliner, your life will be impossible.

Make a few design drawings for the workshop, and you can get an exquisite finished product in a few days. Jian Ping feels more and more prescient in opening this workshop.

After milking the goat with Tian Wen in the morning, he taught Tian Wen a little trick.When boiling goat milk, add some almonds or tea leaves to get rid of the earthy smell in goat milk.

After Tian Wen's success, his interest increased.Not only did he leave a large jar for Jian Ping, but he also sent a sufficient amount to Jian's old house.It's really a good thing that I bought two dairy goats with good milk, otherwise they wouldn't be enough for Tian Wen to toss about.

Not counting the rest time at noon, after two hours of busy work in the afternoon, Jian Ping felt that it was time for him to exercise the power of the village head again.

So in the evening of that day, after dinner, the villagers of Jianjia Village heard the sound of the gong called by the village chief to gather everyone again.

Soon, every family happily dragged their families and even brought a long bench to the center of the village. The village head shouted to gather, and I am afraid that something good is going to happen!
