Chapter 278 Advice to Ma Renli

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, Ma Renlian came back from a meeting in the district and brought back news that the upper management planned to merge several junior clubs in the village into two senior clubs, one in the east of the village and one in the west of the village.

"Then what about the president? Is it appointed by the higher authorities or should we let the villagers choose them?"

Ma Renlian said: "The meaning above is to temporarily select two presidents from several low-level clubs to be presidents, and each of the two high-level clubs will add a vice-president. As for the candidates for the vice-presidents, Wanchun District Chief It means let us both find two people and wait for the general election before voting again."

"Then there is nothing else to choose. Among the presidents, Niu Bold and Zhao Youtian performed well. Although Zhao Youtian is not as bold and courageous as Niu Bold, he will not cause trouble. As for the two vice presidents! You What do you think?" Wang Zhong threw the question back to Ma Renlian.

"What do you think of Ma Renli?" Ma Renlian suggested.

"Ma Renli has a high level of education, he has a lot of things in his mind, and he has always performed well. I don't have any objections to letting him be the vice president." Wang Zhong changed his voice after speaking: "But I will I'm worried that once he becomes the vice president, his heart will swell and he might make mistakes."

"No way, I think Ma Renli has performed very well in the past few years!" Ma Renlian said.

Wang Zhongdao: "Then let's keep an eye on it. Ma Renli is a talent, but a talented person will inevitably be a little arrogant. In the past, the situation was stronger than others, and he didn't dare to be a monster. Now, once he gains power, he might cause trouble." What kind of moth came out, and all these years of hard work were wasted, so that he would not be caught as a pigtail, and he would come out to speak out."

"It makes sense!" Ma Renlian nodded approvingly.

The full name of the high-level cooperative is the high-level agricultural production cooperative. The folks have no reaction to the merger into the high-level cooperative. Whether it is a mutual aid group, a junior cooperative, or the current high-level cooperative, the villagers are just curious and get together. During the chat, I guessed the intention of the above, and it was revealed within two days.

After all, life is still the same.

It is worth mentioning that there are still a few old bachelors in the village.

The three monkeys continued to pick and choose as usual. Mrs. Jinhua was expecting him a little bit, but she gradually lost her patience seeing him looking up from one mountain to another. After the blooming season, if I wait any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married.

In addition, in recent years, the blind old Yin, who has made a lot of farm tools with Wang Zhong, has also become interested in Mrs. Jinhua because he has worked together with Wang Zhong as a threshing machine. The blind old Yin suffers from night blindness. It doesn't work anymore, but after listening to Wang Zhong in recent years, eat more carrots and animal livers. Although it hasn't been cured completely, it is much better than before.

Although the blind old Yin is in his late thirties, he has a down-to-earth personality and a good temper. He was born as a blacksmith and has all the strength in his body. Except for Niu Bold and Wang Zhong, there is really no one in the village with his strong physique.

On the one hand, there are the three monkeys who are picking and choosing, looking at the high mountains from this mountain, and on the other hand, is the honest, hardworking and capable blind old Yin. With Han Chunmei pushing behind, the good things between blind old Yin and Mrs. Jinhua will be completed. .

The senior club had just been established, and the blind old Yin brought Mrs. Jinhua to Ma Renlian to apply for marriage, and they were ready to live together.

Wang Zhong was very surprised when he found out about this, why did Mrs. Jinhua get together with the blind old Yin.

Could it be that Leng Jichen's portrait of a lady is really a bit aura?
He took the painting of the three monkeys himself, so he also lost his wife, but was cut off by the blind old Yin?

If in the past, Wang Zhong, who was a staunch materialist, really didn't believe in these things, but now that even the system has come out, there is really something wrong with the guarantee.

In the evening, the blind old Yin and Mrs. Jin Hua's bridal chamber held candles, and the three monkeys came to Wang Zhong for a drink with a bottle of Baigan.

After drinking two bowls of wine, the three monkeys' faces turned red first.

"Brother, do you think I'm too much?" The three monkeys hiccupped and asked with gloomy eyes.

Wang Zhong filled up the wine for him, and said without thinking, "Yes!"

The three monkeys were stunned for a moment, and then they looked aggrieved: "Brother! I'm already like this, why don't you just add fuel to the fire if you don't say comfort and comfort me!"

"That's what you deserve!" Wang Zhong said angrily: "This day is just a little bit easier, and you are going to go to the sky. One mountain looks at the other, pick and choose, despise this, despise that.

Did I tell you a long time ago that a woman's good years are only a few years, do you think all women in the world are like Yang Deng'er? "

"Sister-in-law Jin Hua is a widow with no children and no one to take care of her. The sooner she gets married, the sooner she will be settled. Now, you brat, it's good to think of her!"

"Tell you, it's too late! No one will stand still and wait for you forever."

If the three monkeys' stomachs were full, they would only sigh when they reached their throats, and they picked up the bowl and poured a bowl of wine directly into their stomachs.

"Ugh!"

"You kid will drink to death!" Wang Zhong glared at the three monkeys.

"Don't cry here for me after drinking two bowls of absurdity. You are completely to blame for this. You can't blame others. If you really want to find a wife, put away your picky thoughts and find a wife." The virtuous and capable mother-in-law is back, live a good life, don't jump up and down all day, bragging about being idle and not doing business."

The three monkeys looked aggrieved: "Brother, I also want to marry a wife soon."

"Take it as if I don't know what it is. The big girls in the nearby villages are disgusted by the boys all over the place. Except for people like me who escaped from famine in these ten miles and eight towns, none of them are relatives in every village. I heard that Mrs. Ma is avoiding you now."

"Then what should I do?" The three monkeys were also anxious.

"What should I do?" Wang Zhong glanced at the three monkeys and said, "Go back and prepare more gifts, and come to the door in person some other day, and ask Mrs. Ma to run around for you again, and then go to Brother Youdao's house, and ask Mrs. Chunmei for help. Xian Village has a big family name, and relatives and friends are scattered all over the country, and if you want to come to relatives and friends, there are also many big girls who are waiting to be married."

······
The summer harvest is approaching, but the County Meteorological Bureau suddenly announced that there may be continuous rainstorms in some areas of the county in the near future. Carry out summer harvest, harvest winter wheat, and reduce losses.

At the village head of Maixiang Village, around the meeting table, Wang Zhong, Ma Renlian, Niu Bold, Zhao Youtian and others were sitting around the table, all of them looked dignified.

"Everyone, don't sit still and talk about your own opinions." Wang Zhong, who was sitting at the top, glanced at everyone.

"Early harvesting and late harvesting of this wheat will reduce the yield. If it is soaked by rain again, the loss will be even greater." Ma Renlian said in a deep voice, looking at the crowd: "Why don't we listen to the district and organize members to harvest the wheat in advance ?”

"The wheat in the field is now at the time when the grains are ripe. If it is harvested at this time, the yield will be reduced by at least [-]%, and it is possible to increase it by [-]% or [-]%." Niu boldly frowned.

The vice president in the east of the village also said: "It doesn't matter if it's [-]% or [-]%, it's better than being soaked by rain! Everyone is a farmer, and everyone knows what will happen if the wheat is soaked in water."

Everyone spoke one after another, most of them tended to listen to the orders in the district and rushed to collect them in advance.

"Then what if there is no heavy rain?" Niu boldly said, and everyone was stunned by what they said, and the debate stopped abruptly.

After being dazed, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Zhong who was sitting at the top.

"We have worked hard for more than half a year to grow such a little food. If we really lose so much at once, don't you feel sorry for everyone?"

"Why don't you feel distressed!" Zhao Youtian said: "But if there is really a torrential rain, wouldn't the loss be even greater! How do you say that?"

"Two phases have the lesser harm?"

"Yes, yes, that's pretty much what it means."

"But what if it doesn't rain?"

"The forecast given by the Meteorological Observatory says that there will be rain in some areas. We must focus on the key points. It is some areas, not all areas. Our Maixiangling may not be in this local area."

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Ma Renli: "Ma Renli, you have not given up observing the weather these past few years. Based on your observations, do you think we will have a heavy rainstorm this year?"

However, Ma Renli was a little hesitant. After all, it was a major issue involving grain production. If the forecast went wrong, the villagers would lose half a year's hard work.

Wang Zhongdao: "You just need to say your judgment. As for the final decision, it has nothing to do with you. Let's discuss and vote. Even if the production is reduced in the end, I, the secretary in charge of production, will take care of it. I can't blame you. superior."

"According to my experience in the past few years and observations this year, as well as my second grandfather Di Lixian's records of the climate in our Maixiangling area in the past 40 years, I estimate that there will be no rain in our area in the near future, even if there is , it was just a few light rains, thunderstorms, not a torrential rain." Ma Renli hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Bullshit, what you said can be confirmed by the weather station?" Zhao Youtian said angrily.

"Zhao Youtian!" Wang Zhong yelled directly, "Comrade Ma Renli is talking about his objective judgment on this year's weather based on his experience and this year's observations. It is a prediction. Let's not bring personal emotions."

Zhao Youtian turned his head away and didn't say anything more.

"Da Chong, you have to make up your mind quickly. If there is really a torrential rainstorm, then our losses will be great." Ma Renlian looked worried.

"Now is the time when the wheat grains are ripe. If you harvest early, you will suffer a lot of losses." Niu boldly said.

Ma Renlian said worriedly: "Now three green flags have been hoisted in the district, and the order to snatch them up has been issued to every village. If we don't take them in, wouldn't it be disobedience?"

"That's right, the higher-ups have issued an order. If we don't accept it, it will be disobedience!" Niu Youshui, the vice president of the village east club, also said worriedly, his face was full of anxiety.

After all, I am still afraid of taking responsibility and have no courage. Anyway, the superior has already issued an order. Regardless of whether it rains or not, just follow the superior’s order to harvest in advance. .

It's no wonder that there are so many people in Maixiang Village, but Niu Bold and Ma Renli are the only ones who succeeded.

Wang Zhong immediately looked at Ma Renli, and asked again: "Ma Renli, are you sure we won't have a torrential rain this year?"

Ma Renli looked at Niu Bold, then at Wang Zhong, gritted his teeth and nodded, "I'm sure."

"Okay!" Wang nodded emphatically, then looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "Ma Renli has a lot of knowledge in meteorological observation, I believe his words, and the weather forecast also clearly stated that there are heavy rainstorms in some areas ,not all."

"Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens."

"What if there is a torrential rain?" Zhao Youtian asked.

Wang Zhongdao: "Even if there is a torrential rain, we will lose regardless of whether we collect it or not. It is just a matter of more or less loss, but what if there is no torrential rain?"

"The big guys have been busy for more than half a year. They fertilized, weeded, suppressed, dewormed, and served the wheat in the field like a mother. Finally, the wheat in the field is growing just right. If a year of great harvest is lost in vain, can you be reconciled? Can the villagers be reconciled?"

Wang Zhong's words caused everyone to lower their heads and meditate on what they said.

"Comrade Ma Renli is a college student who studied at Peking Agricultural College, and also worked as a librarian. He is a technical talent. In the winter of [-], he predicted that there would be less snow in the winter of that year and drought in the beginning of spring. Did everyone forget?"

When Wang Zhong said this, everyone also remembered that in the winter of [-], the second grandfather who was known as the land fairy said that there would be heavy snowfall, but Ma Renli said that even if there was a few light snowfalls in that winter, and it would be very soon after the beginning of spring. There may be a drought, and the final result is just as Ma Renli said.

"I trust Ma Renli's judgment!" Niu boldly expressed his opinion first.

Wang Zhong glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: "Well, let's vote to decide."

Wang Zhongdao: "If you agree to harvest in advance, please raise your hand."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one raised their hands.

Wang Zhong showed a smile on his face, and then said: "If you agree to harvest the wheat after it is mature, please raise your hand!" As he spoke, he was the first to raise his hand.

Niu Bold and Ma Renli followed closely behind. Ma Renlian, Zhao Youtian, and Niu Youshui, Niu Bold's vice president, remained silent.

"The three agreed, and the three abstained. I declare that the summer harvest in Maixiang Village will proceed normally this year, and there is no need to advance it."

"If the higher-ups find out, I will carry it, and I will go back and tell the members, so that the big guys don't have to worry, and the wheat will be harvested after it is ripe!"

"That's it, the meeting is over!"

There is a leader who has already voted, and everyone is no longer entangled.

After leaving the village, Wang Zhong didn't go home immediately, but stopped Ma Renli and walked with him.

"I heard that you and Deng'er are getting very close recently!" Wang Zhong asked: "Deng'er looks handsome, capable and virtuous, are you really not interested in her?"

Ma Renli sighed: "I don't know what to say, this woman's thoughts are really hard to figure out."

"Why are you thinking about Yang Deng'er's mind!" Wang Zhong said: "If you really want to marry her, you can go directly to her father, the old donkey. As long as you pass the old donkey's test, isn't it easy to marry Yang Denger!"

Ma Renli, however, showed a bit of fear in his eyes: "As for the old donkey's temper, if he knew that I missed his lamp, he would beat me into pancakes with a flail."

He said and shook his head again and again.

Wang Zhong stopped in his tracks, pointed at Ma Renli, and said with a look of resentment: "Tell me about you! Anyway, you are a person who has gone to college, why don't you know how to use your brain!"

Ma Renli also stopped and looked at Wang Zhong: "What do you mean by that?"

"Of course it is to find a way!" Wang Zhong said: "If you don't think of a way by yourself, can't you just wait for your wife to fall from the sky?"

"Don't look at Deng'er who is usually amiable, but she is quite violent, plus his father's donkey temper." Ma Renli said, "Is there anything I can do."

Wang Zhongdao: "There is a saying in the art of war: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

"How to say?" Ma Renli took two steps forward, approached Wang Zhong, and asked curiously.

"Go to your house and talk!" Wang Zhong pushed Ma Renli to Ma Renli's house in the west of the village, and they sat cross-legged on the kang, and Ma Renli couldn't wait to ask what Wang Zhong said earlier.

Wang Zhong took a sip of the tea Ma Renli poured himself, and asked, "Let me ask you, do you know what the old donkey's heart disease is all his life?"

"The enmity between Niu Bold and his father, Yang Deng'er still has a crush on Niu Bold!" Ma Renli said.

"Not bad, but this is just one of them!" Wang Zhong said.

Ma Renli's eyes lit up, and he remembered what Wang Zhong said the night Niu Daudao got married: "I failed to have a son, to take over the old Yang's family?"

"That's right!" Wang Zhong smiled, "The old donkey's biggest regret in this life is that the man who was beaten up by the bull's three whips and one whip, failed to give birth to a son for their old Yang family to carry on the family line."

Not to mention these days, even in the next few decades, people still think that sons are the foundation of inheriting the family and continuing the blood.

"But I can't help him either!" Ma Renli said, "I can't just turn him into a son out of thin air."

"Why not!" Wang Zhong said, "If you marry Yang Deng'er and have two more children with Deng'er, one of them will be named after Yang Deng'er, and you will inherit the incense of the old Yang family."

Ma Renli stared at Wang Zhong in shock.

"Although Niu Boldly married Qiao Yue, what he really cared about in his heart was always Yang Deng'er. It's just because of his oath, he couldn't lose face and couldn't marry Yang Deng'er. If you marry Yang Deng'er, you can repay her. After Niu Bold's hatred of taking his wife away, and being able to marry a good-natured, virtuous, capable, and pretty-looking daughter-in-law to go home, you can kill multiple birds with one stone, so why not do it!"

Ma Renli's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the shock on his face gradually faded, revealing a pensive expression.

As he said that, Wang Zhong took out a wad of money from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Ma Renli: "Think of this money as I lent you for your marriage, and pay it back to me when you get better in the future."

"Are you so sure that I can marry Yang Deng'er back?" Ma Renli asked.

"You can't do it alone, but if you talk about the old donkey, it's almost inseparable."

"In extraordinary times, doing extraordinary things, how can you say that you are also a person with a new education, and your ideas should not be so pedantic?"

At this point, Wang Zhong's voice suddenly changed: "Of course, if you are reluctant to let one of your sons change his surname to Yang, then take it for nothing."

"How is it possible!" Ma Renli grabbed the money.

Wang Zhong finished mixing the tea with a smile, put on his shoes and got off the kang, and said, "I have already helped those who can. Whether you can marry Yang Deng'er depends on your own ability."

Then he went out and went straight home.

Ma Renli held the ten yuan that Wang Zhong had given him in his hand, and watched Wang Zhong disappear at the door, but his mood became inexplicably complicated. He immediately got up and got off the kang, and rushed to the county seat with the money.

That night, Ma Renli went to Lao Yang's house with wine and a pack of pork head meat.

Yang Deng'er also scrambled an egg, and Ma Renli personally poured wine for the old donkey's head, and Uncle Yang called him kindly.

After taking a sip of Ma Renli's wine, the old donkey still didn't have a good face, and asked straightforwardly: "Now you can talk, what do you want from me?"

Ma Renli smiled and said: "Uncle Yang, to tell you the truth, I fell in love with your Deng'er, and came here specially to show my determination to you, my aunt and Deng'er."

"Have you taken a fancy to my lantern?" The old donkey was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily, "So what if you look at it!"

The old donkey didn't like Ma Renli very much.

Ma Renli said: "Uncle Yang, let me tell you the truth. In your life, Deng'er is the only daughter. Deng'er is going to marry in the future. After that, who will inherit the incense from your old Yang family?"

This sentence directly hit the sore spot in the old donkey's heart. Without saying a word, the old donkey picked up the cigarette stick in his hand and hit Ma Renli. Ma Renli couldn't dodge it, so he could only protect his head with his arms. After a few blows, it was Yang Deng'er and Yang's mother who immediately grabbed the old donkey.

"Ma Renli, if you can't talk, don't talk, go back quickly, and don't talk nonsense at my house."

"Don't!" The old donkey withdrew his hand, looked at Ma Renli, stared and said, "Ma Renli, if you don't say you're ugly today, don't blame me for being ungrateful."

Ma Renli screamed in pain several times, and everyone shrank back to the wall. Seeing that the old donkey didn't move any more, he sat down on the edge of the kang table, suppressing the fear and panic in his heart: "Uncle Yang, I really want to marry you." Deng'er, if Deng'er marries me, we will have children in the future."

"Ma Renli, what nonsense are you talking about, who is going to marry you!" Yang Deng'er also stared at Ma Renli, and Ma Renli shrank back in fright.

"Listen to him first!" The old donkey stopped Yang Deng'er.

Ma Renli continued: "If Deng'er and I have children, the eldest will still be named Ma after me, and the second child can be named Yang after Deng'er. Anyway, they are all Deng'er's children, and the blood of your old Yang family will flow in their bodies. , I can pass on incense to your old Yang family in the future!"

Ma Renli's few words stunned the father and daughter.

"Are you serious?" the old donkey asked a little excitedly, but also a little unbelievably, even his voice was a little uneasy.

Ma Renli immediately added: "Of course it is true. If you don't believe it, we can make a written proof and ask the party secretary and the village chief to testify."

Even Yang Deng'er's mind went blank for a moment when Ma Renli said it.
