Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

Pan Yao thought that this year would be the first year she reunited with her youngest son. Whether it was the New Year's Eve dinner or the Spring Festival, she would make it more grand. She planned to take Ruan Xishi back to their home in China, and hold the New Year's Eve dinner together with relatives and friends. , Announce Ruan Xishi's identity, let relatives and friends get to know him.

But Ruan Xishi insisted on living in the village, not only to celebrate the New Year in the village, but also unwilling to leave with her, which made Pan Yao very helpless.

Every time Pan Yao mentioned that she wanted to take him home for the New Year, Ruan Xishi would turn the topic on to other things, sometimes saying that it was time to sell sweet potatoes, sometimes saying that it was time to make dried sweet potatoes, and sometimes saying that it was time to chop bamboo for cooking. Big broom, after the New Year's Eve, we will do a big cleaning of the house, preparing for the New Year.

Pan Yao knew that he was avoiding the issue of going home with them, but she couldn't force Ruan Xishi to go with them, so she could only stand in a stalemate with Ruan Xishi.

This day Pan Yao drove again, and everyone saw the black Daben driving into the village. It was no wonder that Shizai's mother came to visit Shizai again and bought delicious food for Shizai.

But this time, in addition to buying fruit, snacks and nutritional products for Ruan Xishi, Pan Yao also prepared a few extra gift bags. Ruan Xishi felt strange seeing this, so she couldn't help but ask her.

"Mom, are these bags bought as gifts?"

Pan Yao smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to give it to Village Chief Gao's family. After all, you have lived in the village for so many years and received so much care from him. It seems that the New Year is coming, and my mother always wants to give him some gifts. Express thankfulness."

This reason is reasonable, and Ruan Xishi also felt that the village chief has taken good care of him for so long, and it is appropriate to give him some gifts during the Chinese New Year, so he did not doubt Pan Yao's motives, and actively asked Pan Yao if he wanted him to send her to the village Long family.

But Pan Yao declined: "No need, Mom knows where the village chief's house is, so Mom can just walk over there by herself. Aren't you still going to the mountain with Ah Ze to cut bamboo? Go ahead, don't waste time."

Ruan Xishi was a little worried about whether she could do it alone, and hesitated: "But there are many dogs in the village. If you go alone, I'm afraid those dogs will scare you if they don't know you."

Seeing her youngest son caring about her so much, Pan Yao felt warmed and moved, but she didn't give up the idea of ​​taking him out of the village because of this. Although she was a little guilty, she still wanted to do it according to her own ideas.She smiled and said, "Well, then you will send me to the door of the village chief's house first, and then go to Zhushan with Ah Ze?"

Ruan Xishi felt that going back and forth to the village head's house would not take much effort, so she agreed.

Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze helped Pan Yao carry some gift bags, sent her all the way to the village head's house, and knocked on the door of the village head's house. Ruan Xishi had to see that Pan Yao had entered smoothly before going to Zhushan to chop bamboo with Lu Ze at ease.

The village chief has been free for a while. After he doesn’t have to go out every day, he watches TV and sleeps in. Occasionally, he sees that your house needs repairing, so he goes to get it done. It can be said that this is his best work all year round The most relaxing time I've had.

Hearing the knock on the door, his wife was washing clothes in the yard and didn't have time to open the door, so she called him inside: "Old Gao, come out and open the door, someone is here."

The village chief reluctantly left in front of the TV, put on his coat and went out, and said as he walked towards the door: "Here he is, who is looking for me?"

Ruan Xishi responded outside: "It's me, Uncle Gao."

Mu... Mu... Zheng... Li... Upon hearing Ruan Xishi's voice, the village chief quickly opened the door and said with a smile, "Shizi, why are you free to come to Gao Bo's house today? You bought so many things, are they all for me?"

Ruan Xishi picked up the big and small bags in her hand, and replied with a smile: "This is a gift my mother bought for you. She said she wanted to thank you, so I brought her here."

The village chief hurriedly said: "Hey, thank you for what, everyone is from the same village, so there is no need to be so rude."

Pan Yao smiled and said, "Whatever you want, these are my little thoughts. You can accept it, village chief. Don't be polite to me, or you will look down on me."

When she said this, the village head was caught in a dilemma, whether to accept it or not to accept it, it was very difficult.

Ruan Xishi has a close relationship with the village chief, and taking advantage of the village chief's daze, he stuffed the gift bag ring into the village chief's hand, and said with a smile: "You can take it, or my mother will always worry about it and make a noise." It's very annoying to have to deliver things to you."

Hearing Ruan Xishi's words, and seeing their sincerity, the village head sighed helplessly, took the things away, and muttered, "Then you don't need to give so much, these things don't look bad at first sight." It’s cheap, it’s really expensive.”

Pan Yao smiled and said, "It's just some care, nothing compares to your careful care of Xi Shi for so many years."

Seeing her husband talking to people outside for so long at the door, the village head's wife couldn't help asking: "Old Gao, who is here? Why don't people come in and sit around, what are you doing at the door?"

Only then did the village head remember that he wanted to invite people to his house. While letting Ruan Xishi and the others come in, he turned around and said to the daughter-in-law who was doing laundry in the yard, "Stop doing laundry, Shizai's mother is visiting our house." , go to the house to tidy up and make tea for guests."

When his daughter-in-law heard this, she glanced at him, and saw that he was carrying a few bags of beautifully wrapped gift boxes, and she knew that there was a distinguished guest at home, so she didn't wash her clothes anymore, and hurriedly rinsed her hands. Go inside and ask your daughter, who is watching TV, to clean up the house with her.

The village chief smiled and said to Pan Yao and the others: "Come in and sit down for a while, drink tea and eat something."

Pan Yao nodded, and followed the village chief in a good manner. When Ruan Xishi saw her go in, she said to the village chief: "Then Gao Bo, please sit and chat with my mother for a while. Brother Lu Ze and I are going to the mountain to cut bamboo. , I won’t go in and sit down, we’ll come and pick up my mother when we turn around.”

Hearing this, the village head quickly stopped them and said, "Hey, what kind of bamboo are you going to cut on the mountain now? If you cut it again tomorrow, the villagers may not be able to cut all the bamboo. You finally came to Gao Bo's house. If you don't come in and sit How?"

Ruan Xishi had already pulled Lu Ze back, and waved at him without looking back when she heard this, and said, "No need."

Pan Yao originally had important things to tell the village head behind Ruan Xishi's back, wishing that Ruan Xishi wasn't there, after Ruan Xishi left, she advised the village head, "Let them both go, they are young people, don't you want to sit down?" it does not matter."

Seeing that they had gone far away, the village head gave up, sighed and said, "These two children are really stubborn. Ms. Pan, please come in and sit down. By the way, I will talk to you about Shizai's childhood."

Pan Yao followed the village chief into the house. When the village chief's daughter saw her, she called her auntie sweetly. Pan Yao was overjoyed, handed her the bag of toffee she was holding, and said with a smile: "You Good girl, this bag of candy is for you."

It was the first time for the village chief's youngest daughter to see such a beautifully packaged candy, which looked very expensive at first glance. She didn't know whether to accept it, so she looked at her parents for help.

Her father is considered a high official in the village. Every year, many people come to her father with gifts to do business. Some things cannot be done or cannot be done. Her father will refuse, and the gifts will be returned intact.There are also people who start from her and give her food and play. Her father tries to have a clear conscience as an official, and he is also strict with her. He has repeatedly warned her not to accept things from others, so Pan Yao will give her candy. Parental consent must also be obtained first.

When the village head received his daughter's gaze, he nodded to her and said, "This is a gift from your brother Xiaoruan's mother. What should you do after receiving the gift?"

Only then did the little girl dare to accept the gift, and then she smiled happily at Pan Yao, and said crisply, "Thank you, Auntie."

Pan Yao doesn't have a daughter, and she likes little girls very much. Seeing her so well-behaved, she is also happy. She touched her shofar braid and said, "Hurry up and eat candy."

The little girl happily took the candy and went out.

The wife of the village head made a pot of tea and came in. Seeing a lot of gifts in the living room, they were all high-end goods that they had never seen before. They were probably quite expensive. Yes, and bring so many things here."

Pan Yao took the tea and said with a smile: "It's all food and drink, and it's not worth a lot of money, so don't be disgusted with it."

The wife of the village head curled her lips when she saw the word Moutai written on the big red box.

After drinking tea, the village chief's wife went out to do the laundry again, leaving Pan Yao and the village chief chatting in the living room.

Seeing that the timing was almost the same, Pan Yao explained to the village chief her intention of coming today, and she said, "Actually, I am here today, besides giving you a gift, I also have a heartfelt invitation."

The village chief didn't think it was strange after hearing this. After all, there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, so he followed the conversation and asked, "Oh? What can I help with?"

Pan Yao smiled bitterly, and said: "I want to bring Xishi home to enjoy the blessings, but unfortunately he has been unwilling and wants to stay in the village to guard his grandfather. I can't talk to him, and I can't bear him to leave us so I am afraid that he will not have enough food and clothing to keep him warm, so I can only ask you to help persuade him to go back with us at ease. You see, he is still young, just at the age when he is going to college to learn knowledge. As a mother You can't just sit and watch him waste a lot of good time, ignorant, take him back, and arrange for him to go to school as soon as possible. As the village head, you know a lot of truths, and you should know that learning is important for children How important it is to say."

After hearing this, the village head said in agreement: "Yes, children should read more books, so that they will have a future. Although our village is poor, we have not given up the opportunity to let our children read and write after so many years. Try to get them to study for two years. No, last year we won a donation from the Hope Project to build a school for our village, and the children will be able to study in school next spring."

Pan Yao nodded agreeingly: "Yeah, such a young child knows to study, and the time is so old, if you procrastinate, you will miss the best time to study, so I want to take him back as soon as possible and let him accept him. deserved education."

The village chief said: "I also persuade him to go back with you. Don't worry about the affairs of the village. Next year, a teacher will come to the village to teach the children. We villagers will help him take good care of his grandfather's grave. There is nothing for him to worry about, but it is a pity that he just refused to listen and insisted on staying. In fact, I think that if his grandfather was still alive, he might have agreed with him to go with you. The place is unknown. It’s fine that those of us who are born and bred don’t have the opportunity to go out of the mountains. He has this opportunity, and he should really cherish it. And as a child, he must show filial piety to his parents no matter what, so it’s really wrong to stay away from them .”

Pan Yao couldn't agree more with what the village chief said. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "It doesn't matter if you are not filial. I just want to make up for him and let him live a better life in the future, so that we can feel at ease. It's a pity that the child I don’t listen to persuasion, I don’t agree no matter what, I really have no choice but to seek help from you elders who have been with him for a long time, and ask you to help me persuade him.”

The village chief was about to cry when he saw her, and quickly responded: "We are all trying to persuade him, but maybe he can't accept this change for a while, so he doesn't want to accept going with you. After a long time, he figured it out. Just fine."

Pan Yao said: "I am really touched that you are willing to help me persuade him like this. I don't know how to repay you. Let's see what facilities the village needs to buy. Tell me and I will try my best to help." If you do well, take it as my reward."

The village chief hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, there is no such thing as saying that you should pay someone back for helping others. It's just a matter of lifting your hands to persuade Shizai. We can help if we can, and it's okay if we can't. You don't have to take it too seriously."

But Pan Yao insisted on repaying their village, and said: "I see that there are not enough venues for activities in the village, and the villagers don't usually have any entertainment activities, so why don't you ask them for advice and find some free land, and I will invest in building it." An activity building, a cultural square, etc., so that the villagers can enjoy the benefits."

Hearing this, the village head had to say that he was a little moved. He went to the town to study some time ago, and he saw that the facilities in the civilized village outside are very complete. There are village committee office buildings, villagers' activity buildings, cultural squares, stadiums, parks, Made it look like a city, but he was envious.He also wants to make their village like that, but if they rely solely on the development of the villagers themselves, it may take decades or decades, or they can only wait for well-intentioned companies to sponsor them.Now that Pan Yao said this, it gave him another way to go. Pan Yao saw that he was not short of money, and it was easy to contribute to the construction of their village. up.

I think so, but it is not so simple to accept, if I agree too readily, it will make Pan Yao feel that I am too snobbish, if I don't agree, the good opportunity will be gone, and I am not reconciled.

The village chief was still at war between heaven and man, and Pan Yao over there understood his heartbeat, and said with a final word: "That's it, I'll let the architect come over to assist you in the planning of the village in the next year, and I will trouble you to collect Find out what the villagers think."

Seeing how straightforward she was, the village chief agreed with half-push and half-heartedly. He felt that since he had accepted Pan Yao's benefits, he had to persuade Ruan Xishi to not let her down, so as not to be sorry for her kindness.

Pan Yao herself studies psychology and knows how to guess other people's psychology. She is not bribing the village chief to do things for her, but taking advantage of the villagers' honest, kind, and reciprocal character to persuade Ruan Xishi. He paid more attention to this matter, so as to make Ruan Xishi feel at ease and go home with her.
