Passed through Longmen, Shanxi Yellow River is a famous pepper town - rich in peppercorns. There is an old man here, who is 88 years old this year and still works hard. The old man is old and has experienced many historical periods. Listening to the elderly telling stories, he does feel that "there is an old person in the family, like a treasure." Today I will share with you the story told by the elderly - helping with housework.
The old man said that it was just a matter of time. Once he went to a town in Henan. At that time, there were gatherings in the town, thousands of people were attending the market, and the large stage was singing opera. There is an old lady, his six sons and five daughters-in-law under the stage. All the sons were married, as if the eldest son's daughter-in-law was gone. The family of more than a dozen people were quarreling. As a result, there were more people quarreling than those who watched the show.
The old man heard it for a while and understood it roughly, which means: the old lady and her wife are gone, and all six sons have started a family. The old lady needs her son to support her. Through the promise of others, each family will give the elderly 120 yuan a year to live. The result was that the five daughters-in-law had reasons to refuse to give, or not first. Those who have no money say: Those who have money give it first. The rich one said: What if I give it to me and don’t give it to me? Now, the old lady is hungry.
The old man couldn't tell, so he called her younger brother, who was his son's uncle. This is a general rule in the rural housework. There are major issues at home, especially between two generations, and most of them are solved through his son's uncle. The so-called uncle and uncle, if the father is with his uncle, it is equivalent to the father. However, his uncle had no choice but to squat on the ground and smoke alone.
The old man said that he saw the old lady feeling pitiful and stepped forward to say to the old lady: Old sister-in-law, I will take care of this matter. The old lady said: Even his uncle can't control it, you can control it. The old man said: This is not enough for me to care about.
The old man first said: The five daughters-in-law are also for your own good. Of course, as for how to be good for the elderly, it goes without saying. This is just a means for the elderly to handle housework. We cannot say at the beginning that this is right or wrong, which is not conducive to everyone's support after the real plan is proposed.
It worked indeed, and everyone was willing to listen to the old man. The old man said: Sister-in-law, listen to me, you don’t want the money. The old lady was anxious: I wanted it urgently, but I didn’t have it. I was hungry, so I dare not refuse it?
The old man’s humor is here: Henan is a major grain-producing province. The grain produced feeds half of China. How much can you eat and can still starve you. If you don’t have money, you can convert it into food. If you don’t have pocket money, you can sell a bag of food. There is no food, but you can spend it.
Just like that, a miracle happened, and everyone agreed. And happily agreed.
Now you may not understand why it is solved by decomposing it into a grain problem.
Actually, it’s not surprising at all. I was also in the countryside at that time. In the concept of farmers, I felt that the money would be very different if I received the things in the field gave them to others. Farmers often lack cash.
Maybe it was because the business concept was not strong at that time. So at that time, the village often used wheat to exchange rice, watermelon, etc. If you say you are selling rice, millet or watermelon, then there may be no business to do.
Why can the elderly come up with a solution? Can others not think of it? The old man told another story about his experience: when he first planted watermelons in his own fields before they were divided, then pulled them to the river to exchange for corn, then replaced the corn and then raised pigs. So at that time, the elderly were exposed to the market earlier and studied this psychology.
Money is converted into food, and the problem is solved. It seems like a simple conversion, but in fact it has a deep understanding of the rural people's sentiments. This is wisdom and this is ability.
Are you convinced?
