Chapter 386 Wuthering Heights
The sun is getting warmer and the mountain wind is getting faster. Lao Chang and Zhenhua sigh for a long time. When talking about someone and something, the laughter is cheerful.
"Sir, after hearing what you said, the little guy is so stupid that he has made a contribution this time?"
"What's the point of this? I never have the sand in my eyes. The couplet in front of the King of Hell's door is well said. If you have the will to do good, you will not reward even if you have the good; if you have no intention to do evil, you will not punish even if you have the evil!"
"I don't agree with you, so how do you know if the little guy has already calculated this point!"
The old long eyebrows suddenly stood up: "If you are not in his position, you will not plan your own affairs. If you use small things to make big things, isn't it just Yao Guangxiao and others? I believe the little guy won't be like this!"
Zhenhua smiled and said, "You are stingy and can't bear to give the reward, so you just say that the little guy did this good thing, either the left or the right!"
The old man smiled and said, "Don't you think I don't know that that stupid boy did a lot of things. I won't talk about robbing a girl from afar. At least it's a love affair. The thing that is close is a taboo. He thinks he is doing is not yours. You should take care of him. He has a good look! Besides, this stupid boy is still young and has not even married a wife. He is a very high-ranking official. Everyone on the side has objections to him this time Xiaoshan tax exemption. Don't you also want to vent his anger? He just hit him twenty-stop!"
Zhenhua couldn't help but shake his head: "You are not kind anymore. If you don't reward me for your contribution, you will have to hit the top twenty boards. There is no reason!"
"Why is this not the reason? This is called not bothering the second master in one thing, and it is use of waste!"
"Hahaha……"
………………………………………
Nowadays, although it is not summer, the sun shines brightly and the temperature is not low.
Fang Laoshi put a washed blue cloth jacket on his shoulders, bent down and carried the last bag of soybeans. He swung his arms hard and his waist hard. A bag of bean bags worth more than 80 kilograms was thrown on the roof of the car.
"Shitou, Yadan'er. Let's go and pay the grain tax with my grandfather. After paying the debt from last year, I guess I can still have five yuan left. At that time, my grandfather will buy you meat buns and eat them!"
As he spoke, Fang Chen put the yellowed pull belt in front of the cart on his shoulders, held the handlebars with both hands, and thrust his feet up, and his thigh muscles were arched. He pulled a cart forward with a thousand pounds.
"Grandpa, I don't eat meat buns. I miss school. How can Sister Hisense next door carry her schoolbag? Why can I only go to the field with you every day?"
Fang'er is already eight years old, two years older than Shitou. She had studied for a few days, but she had just finished her first grade. Fang's family was poor and had to stop.
Nowadays, Yadan'er has stopped for less than half a year. She is naturally very concerned about her friends at school.
When Fang Laoshi heard Yadan'er's words, he felt miserable. He had no girl's narrow concept of studying and losing money. However, his family was really embarrassed and worked hard to fill his stomach and support his two children to study. It was just a luxury, not to mention that the imperial grain owed to the county in previous years was not paid. This year, he moved a monthly brick at the port with all kinds of money. He earned a lot, including this car of soybeans. He could barely pay off the debts that he had owed to the county over the years.
In fact, if it were in the past, Fang Huzhen would not have paid the debt so well, but now Xiao Shan is the head of Secretary Xue. In the words of the villagers, he owes other corrupt officials money, and even Secretary Xue's money, is that still an individual?
But it’s easy to pretend to be big, and after pretending to be big, Riju is dead again. The idea of originally planning to send two children to school again, it seems that it can only be strangled to death for the time being.
Fang Chen refused to answer Yadan'er's words, and just kept pulling the cart. Yadan'er knew about what was happening, and there was no hope again. At that moment, she felt bitter and wanted to cry. There were only ignorant stones. After hearing that there were meat buns to eat, she jumped up and down to cheer.
Under the blood-red sun, the grandparents and grandchildren staggered on the stone with difficulty.
Fang Laoshi almost bit off his teeth, and Yadan'er and Shi Tou also made their faces red. The grandparents and grandchildren used all their strength to finally drag the cart from the mud road to the stone. Fang Laoshi breathed a long sigh of relief and got into this flat and large. He felt completely relaxed. Then he thought that this was Secretary Xue's virtue again, and he couldn't help but praise Xiaoshan's good fortune, and he had such a good official.
"Shitou, Yadan'er, take a break. Grandpa smokes a bag of cigarettes and puts you in the car and takes you to the grain management office one by one, so that you can also make a big cart!"
As he spoke, Fang Chen leaned on the car and pulled out the black-blue tobacco pole from his waist, knocked off the ashes on his shoes, stuffed a pot of self-planted tobacco leaves, rubbed them with flints, and started smoking beautifully.
Fang Laoshi had just sucked a few times, and Yadan'er, who was playing with stones behind the cart, suddenly jumped and shouted: "Teacher Wu, Teacher Wu..."
Fang Laoshi looked forward, but saw a 28 bicycle with a bang and a bang on the stone, riding fast towards him. There was a young man in his early twenties. When he got close, Fang Laoshi recognized it. It was Teacher Wu, a junior in the village, who seemed to have taught Yadan'er's class.
"Why did he come here?" Fang Laoshi was suspicious. There were not many dolls on the Murakami. Although he was confused, he met an acquaintance and was transformed. Fang Laoshi was still happy to greet him: "It's Teacher Wu, where are you going?"
The man in the car heard a shout before, and he got down from the speed when he got close. Now he saw the three grandparents and grandchildren who stopped without the body of the car, and turned over and got off the car: "Uncle Fang, you are going to your village. What are you doing with these big bags? Did you hear the news and sell the stored grain quickly?"
Fang Laoshi didn't know what the news Mr. Wu said meant, and replied: "Isn't this owing some food and money in the county? This year, and there are more places for side jobs in the county. I want to pay back the money owed to the county. People in Qiaokou Village owed others money, but it would never be enough to ow Secretary Xue."
Obviously, Fang Hushi is happy that others know their motivation for selling grain.
Before he could think of Fang Huo-sin, Teacher Wu was shocked by disapproval: "What money should I pay?"
Fang said honestly: "Originally, my family was in trouble. Every year when the county collects agricultural tax, my family would pay some money and owed a little. After more than ten years, I owed more than seventy yuan. Just do side jobs with my family and earned fifty or sixty. In addition, this year, I plan to sell this car of newly harvested beans, so I just need to clear the county! Teacher Wu, I know what you are doing in the village. I'm going to say that this year, my village may not be able to do this year. Next year, no, in the second half of the year, the villagers will do a monthly side job in the port, and they will definitely send them to their children!"
Teacher Wu slapped his forehead: "God, Uncle Fang, what are you talking about? The county held a meeting yesterday the day before yesterday. Secretary Xue presided over the meeting and exempted the agricultural tax. Where else do you go to pay it? Even if you want to pay it, no one dares to collect it!"
"What did you say, exempt the agricultural tax?" Fang Laoshi's eyes were glaring in confusion, and the cigarette pipe in his mouth slid out of his lips. Finally, he waved his hand: "Secretary Xue is kind and righteous. No, he will be exempted this year. I will not have to make up for what I owe before? Anyway, I've pulled it here, so I can't pull it back again, lest it..."
Teacher Wu interrupted: "Uncle Fang, you don't understand what I mean yet. The county said that I don't want the agricultural tax I used to owe. In the future, we will never collect agricultural taxes again!"
"What's the thing?"
Fang Laoshi's intuition felt his brain buzzing, and he couldn't stand steadily. He barely held the handlebars and did not collapse.
Fang Laoshi was simply shocked, no, he was stunned. He thought he was crazy, sometimes he thought Teacher Wu was crazy, sometimes he was wondering if Secretary Xue in the county was crazy? You said that like the emperor in the past, he would be exempted from taxes for one or two years. He was grateful to the emperor for his gratitude, but the farmer did not pay taxes. He was worried about what the officials would eat, and whether the world would be in chaos in the future...
"Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang..."
Teacher Wu saw that Fang Laoshi looked wrong, and pulled him up and woke him up.
Fang Laoshi came to his senses and pulled Teacher Wu's clothes and said anxiously: "Teacher Wu, you are a man. Tell me if Secretary Xue is afraid that we will farm with hardships. It is a good thing if we don't pay taxes. But the county officials have to eat and drink. What Secretary Xue can do to support them? Isn't they going to make Secretary Xue's rebellion? I said, Teacher Wu, hurry up and persuade Secretary Xue to take back this order. Now Japan is much better. Let's just slim your belt. Wait for another two years to keep us all generous..."
Teacher Wu really didn't expect that this party was honest to farm, but he was concerned about the Xiaoshan County Party Committee. "I said Uncle Fang, your number is really rare. But, please keep your heart in mind. The county has endless money. Last year, many foreign businessmen came to the county and spent a lot of money to buy the land in our port. The money is too much to use. Wait for a few years, the port will open, and our county will not have to worry about spending money. By the way, we have to talk about knowledge and power. Think about how many county masters in the county have accomplished such a big thing. Why did Secretary Xue come to our county like the sesame seeds blooming in the flowering line, and it is full of money. The answer is that Secretary Xue is a top student in the capital, and he is truly a person!"
Teacher Wu explained clearly, Fang Laoshi was still confused, but finally he figured out that even if he didn't pay the tax, no one dared to commit Secretary Xue's rebellion.
Teacher Wu came today and took the school task. He came down and notified the children to go on the job quickly. So he told everyone that the benefits of having knowledge are good, because some people are not unable to afford the fee, but they think that studying is useless at all.
At this moment, seeing Fang Laoshi keep silent, Teacher Wu continued: "Uncle Fang, since studying is a good thing, why don't you let your Yadaner and the stone be on the future? Isn't that good? Besides, if you have a piece in the county and don't let a baby be on it, that's a violation of the law of the king. Uncle Fang, do you think?" (To be continued)
