Sheng Fu

Chapter 59
The next day, after breakfast, Yu Wenjun, under the leadership of Wang Yan, began to go door-to-door to understand the situation.

Qingshui Village is not big, but the population is quite large. The age group is evenly distributed, and the core labor force is not in a dilemma.

The overall frame structure is still good, at least not a village full of old, weak, sick and disabled.

Wang Yan briefly described the situation of the village to Yuwenjun. After Yuwenjun heard it, he thought for a while and said, "Let's go to those people who have no reputation first."

"There are powerful people in the village, put them aside for the time being."

Wang Yan was a little puzzled. He didn't know what medicine Yuwenjun sold in the gourd. When any local official took office, he would first establish a good relationship with the local gentry and local tyrants, and then plot the rest.

Is this young gentleman not taking the usual path, or is it because he is young, he does not know the stakes?
Wang Yan smiled inexplicably, Qingshui Village is a poor village, where are there so-called local gentry and local tyrants, maybe in the eyes of this son, even the real local gentry and local tyrants are just ordinary people.

The Wang family's status in Qingshui Village is not inferior, it is very mediocre. The head of the family is Wang Zhen, a middle-aged man with a strong stature. The men in Qingshui Village work in the mountains all the year round. Everyone has good muscles.

Entering the lobby of Wang's house, there is a wooden table, a few chairs, and a teapot on the wooden table. Wang Zhen is wearing a blue cloth, and he is quite attentive in serving tea and pouring water. His eyebrows are full of awe at Wang Yan, and he is even more attentive to Yuwen Jun. It's more of an unfamiliar feeling.

He muttered: "Both of you are distinguished guests, and the poor house is simple. I hope you don't make jokes."

Wang Yan stood behind Yuwenjun and didn't speak. Today is Yuwenjun's home court. He can only fight, and he can't talk too much. As the village chief, he knows that he can't steal the limelight at any time.

Yu Wenjun sat on the wooden chair and asked softly, "How many people are in your uncle's family?"

Wang Zhen didn't have much reverence for Yuwenjun, living in poor mountains and bad waters, he somewhat despised a young man like Yuwenjun.

But he was full of awe for the brocade and jade belt on Yuwenjun's body, especially the jade bracelet on Yuwenjun's left hand, thinking that this should be quite valuable.

He smiled and said, "There are three people in total, Jiannei and I, and a son, whose parents died a few years ago."

Wang Zhen's wife is busy in the kitchen at the moment, but unfortunately she didn't see Wang Zhen's son.

Yu Wenjun asked curiously, "What is your son doing?"

Mentioning his son, Wang Zhen's expression was a little subtle, and said melancholy: "Young master doesn't know anything, this son of mine is useless, he can't bear hardships, and he doesn't care about things in the mountains."

"Blind, a big man, stronger than me, an old man, but lazy to do it, always clamoring to go to a prosperous big city outside, but at most he lived in a town a hundred miles away, saying yes In the town, it was actually chopping firewood and boiling water for others in a certain inn.”

"You can't earn a few silvers at the end of the year."

"I heard someone say a few days ago that my son had a private fight in the town and injured someone, and he would have to pay them a lot of money. I have bought things at home, and every time I see my son, I feel very disappointed and sad."

"It is estimated that I have to come back in a few days. If I get into trouble, I can't hang out outside, so I can only come back."

Wang Zhen's words were filled with disappointment.

Yuwenjun picked up the teacup and hesitated to speak. From Wang Zhen's description, Yuwenjun roughly judged that Wang Zhen's son was an ambitious man, and he didn't want to die in the mountains all his life, but most people have lived in the mountains for generations. in such a mountain.

It violated the sophistication and survival rules in the mountains, but in essence, Wang Zhen's son did nothing wrong.

Yu Wenjun continued to ask: "Your son should not dislike your father's worthlessness, right?"

After Wang Zhen heard this, he smiled disdainfully and said, "He's that kind of guy himself, how could he be so embarrassed to think that I'm not a promising old man?"

Yu Wenjun knew that his son never resented his father's incompetence, but the father felt that his son was incompetent, and also felt that his son was a bit embarrassing and could not be on the stage.

People who have been living in the mountains all the time do not know that the outside world is dangerous and people's hearts are complicated in reason, but if they cannot understand the anguish and difficulties in their own son's heart, it is somewhat unreasonable.

Yu Wenjun didn't open his mouth to point out the maze, got up and said, "Excuse me, I have to go to another place."

Wang Zhen got up quickly and said, "Young master, don't go, Jiannei is busy in the kitchen. Since you're here, it's not too late to leave after eating a couple of small dishes."

Yuwenjun shook his head and smiled: "There are still many people who want to visit today. If there is a chance in the future, it's okay to have a few drinks."

Wang Zhen replied knowingly: "Since this is the case, then I will not keep it."

After seeing Yu Wenjun out of the house, Wang Zhen returned to the house, remembered his son, and shook his head in despair.

Later, Wang Yan brought Yuwenjun to Li's house. The head of the house, Li Qiu, was already old, and his son Li Han was in his rightful years. The family's strength and work, the son was all-inclusive, and there was a daughter who got married last year. other villages.

There is also an old man sleeping on the bed at home. He has slept for several years. As the saying goes, there is no dutiful son before the bed for a long time. Li Qiu is also increasingly disappointed with his own mother. Into the ground is safe.

Li Han is very enthusiastic about taking care of his grandmother and never gets tired of it. Li Han's mother does not have a good relationship with his mother-in-law, but the relationship between his son and his grandmother is very good, so when it comes to taking care of the elderly, Li Han The mother also contributed a lot.

Afterwards, I came to Zhang's house where Yuwenjun was cooking. The two daughters of the family were married outside. They came back occasionally during Chinese New Year and festivals. Only Zhang and her husband, Zhang Hongnian, depended on each other for life.

Zhang Hongnian said helplessly: "I am too old for many things in the mountains, and I can't do it a bit. I really envy a family with a son. If I can't do it, my son can still help me. Who can I rely on?"

"I don't blame anyone else, I just blame myself for marrying a mother-in-law who can't give birth to a son."

Mr. Zhang, who was busy with chores, was silent after hearing this, and didn't want to say anything more. In fact, Mrs. Zhang himself felt that he was useless and could not give birth to a son for the old Zhang family.

Yuwenjun didn't say anything to comfort him. Some people of this age have deep-rooted concepts, and they have long been out of the category of emotion and reason.

After that, under the leadership of Wang Yan, Yu Wenjun visited a few more families. There were conflicts between the wives and daughters-in-law, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was not harmonious. Some wives disliked their men as unpromising and useless, and they were not pleasing to the eye. .

Some husbands suspect that their wives may be stealing, but have no proof.

Either someone bought a donkey, or someone's daughter married a good family.

In short, all living beings are suffering, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite.

After getting a general understanding, Yuwenjun returned to his residence. Wang Yan winked and poured a cup of tea for Yuwenjun, and by the way asked his doubts: "Why don't you go to visit the famous people in the village?"

Yuwenjun did not take the trouble to explain: "Famous people have a good life, and they have a condescending arrogance towards others. Even though they can generally see how they behave in the world on weekdays, they still have a clear distinction between the steps. "

"Either, it's just that they don't look good to each other."

"Occasionally, small conflicts are resolved privately, and major conflicts are kept in their hearts, fearing that they will end up with a lose-lose ending if they really fight."

Wang Yan has changed a lot about Yuwenjun, the son, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Young master is very discerning."

Yuwenjun smiled indifferently and said: "These things are the same everywhere, and the same is true in officialdom. It has nothing to do with routines, just human nature."

Wang Yan was touched, and he was not convinced by Yuwenjun at first, but gradually began to be convinced.

After learning about the situation, Yu Wenjun became even more melancholy. It is extremely difficult to correct the family style in such a village and make the country style.

Because there is no suitable comparison, the people of Qingshui Village do not have a specific understanding of the outside world, and everything can only start from scratch.

Yuwenjun was lost in thought, and he didn't know where to start.

In essence, the villagers are more willing to believe in real money and real benefits, and these people are very particular about it. Moreover, the people here have never read the book themselves, and the reason is impossible to explain.

And the simple truth they think is only suitable for use in the category of Qingshui Village.

Just thinking about it makes Yuwenjun feel very big.
