Zhongshan Wind and Rain (186)
One hundred and eighty-six, terrible rumors
Xiao Aihua has her own small thoughts. She does not like her brother's grand plans and feels that she is satisfied with a stable life: "Brother, it is difficult to get an undergraduate degree in our school, and I am not particularly good at studying. I still want to graduate early and get a salary, so that our dad can My mother will not have to work hard. I have calculated that you and my sister-in-law graduated in the same year, in 1992, so there will be no pressure on our family after starting work."
Xiao Dagan was a little angry when he heard that his sister's ideas were not as good as his own: "Aihua, you should have your own ideals and be successful!"
Xiao Aihua winked! Eye: "Brother, my ideal is to eat national food and be able to live in a big house in the city like Yang Erni. I have been to her house and I am so envious! She is a technical secondary school student like me. I heard that she now gets more than 300 yuan a month in salary and bonus, but the people in our town who have worked in the cotton spinning factory for 20 years are not as good as her. I think she is my goal."
mentioned Yang Erni, also known as Yang Hongxia, Xiao Dagan was a little embarrassed. He suddenly lost the courage to talk to his sister about the matter. Xiao Weidong, on the other hand, held a grudge against the Yang family as always. He rebuked with some drunkenness: "I heard that Yang Erni relied on your brother and his father-in-law, County Magistrate Tang, to make a fortune. People said it was terrible! And she broke up with your eldest brother, and I heard that this year she got married to another man from the county committee. The marriage was also broken up, how can such a woman compare with you? You are a child of a well-behaved family! "
Xiao Dagan didn't know anything about Yang Hongxia's current situation. He only occasionally heard Tang Aijun call and say that the man to whom Yang Hongxia was engaged was promoted to deputy section chief. However, Yang Zizi insisted on asking for a bride price, which led to changes in the marriage. He didn't know whether his father's "breakup" was true. He picked up the teacup: "Dad, let's not talk about Aihua, let's drink!" "
Xiao Weidong sighed: "Oh, this person can't be dissatisfied. Who can compare with our family, not to mention the village, even the whole town? Both children have been admitted to school, the eldest has become the son-in-law of the county magistrate, and I have also been promoted to become a cadre in the village. But think about it, is there any end? It’s all over! "However," he said, his tone became serious, "Boss, whether our family will be successful or not depends on your relationship with Aijun. Your future work after graduation from college, Aihua's work arrangements, and whether this village cadre can continue to work, I'm afraid, will all depend on the help of Aijun and her father!" "
Xiao Dagan doesn't like his father's words. Although he is not like a fish in water in college now, he already has a status in the world, and he has earned it by himself. It has nothing to do with the Tang family that his father said. In addition, Xiao Dagan also has his own thoughts about his plans after graduation. He wants to stay in a big city like Nanjing, and does not want to return to the place where his father said he graduated from college and worked. Qingping County is no longer in Xiao Dagan's eyes.
"Dad, why do we have to rely on others for everything?" Perhaps because of his drunkenness, Xiao Dagan actually challenged his father's authority, "I don't have Aijun to help me in our school. I am also a student cadre now, and I have been outside the school for the past month. I can earn one or two hundred yuan by working part-time, and I even got a dormitory in Nanjing! I think you have to rely on yourself! Wasn’t it good before I met Tang Aijun?”
Xiao Weidong obviously didn’t expect his son to say such a thing. After a heavy pause, he said angrily: "What do you think? Do you want to break up with Aijun? If you dare to think so, I will break your legs!"
Xiao Weidong has not scolded his son like this for a long time. In fact, since Xiao Daqian entered high school, Xiao Wei Dong realized that as his son got older, his previous habit of scolding him should change. Not to mention that Xiao Dagan later successfully entered college and found Tang Aijun as his girlfriend. Xiao Weidong even had a somewhat "flattery" attitude towards his son, especially after he became a village cadre.

Xiao Weidong has not scolded his son like this for a long time. In fact, since Xiao Daqian entered high school, Xiao Wei Dong realized that as his son got older, his previous habit of scolding him should change. Not to mention that Xiao Dagan later successfully entered college and found Tang Aijun as his girlfriend. Xiao Weidong even had a somewhat "flattery" attitude towards his son, especially after he became a village cadre.
But after hearing what Xiao Dagan said just now, Xiao Weidong couldn't help but get angry. After all, Xiao Dagan challenged his bottom line. Now Xiao Weidong's beautiful imagination of the future is based on Tang Aijun becoming his daughter-in-law: the whole family can be well taken care of by Xiao Dagan's father-in-law, and maybe he, a village cadre, can enter the town government to work instead of doing work. After all, he is only forty years old this year. If that is the case, he, no, the entire Xiao family will reach the sky in one step!
Xiao Dagan was shocked. Although his father had not beaten or scolded him for many years, he had always had a psychological shadow. The big slap was not because of pain, but because of great fear. In this sense, his father could be called Xiao Dagan's biggest nemesis! In rural areas, this kind of violence within the family has always been praised. There are various sayings such as "a filial son will emerge from under the stick" and "if the wife does not beat her for three days, she will go to the house to uncover the tiles". It seems that Xiao Weidong is restrained today. In the past, he might have slapped him directly.
Xiao Dagan immediately realized what his problem was. He wanted to use the ideas of a modern college student to convince an old farmer. This was as difficult as playing the piano to an ox. Classmate Xiao was not the type to face difficulties for a long time. Instead of fighting Xiao Weidong, he smiled and said: "Dad, what are you talking about? I have a good relationship with Aijun!" We had dinner at his house today at noon. Aijun said you are going to his house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, right?"
This sentence removed the detonator from Xiao Weidong's bomb. Village Chief Xiao was even a little embarrassed, thinking that he was treating his son too badly by shouting at the New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, a rural father is It was impossible to admit his mistake, he explained: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't go. From your point of view, I and Aijun's father are on the same level, right? But the secretary and mayor of the town called me and said that they would be proud of me if I went. Isn't that..."
Xiao Da laughed dryly. He was proud that his little trick had succeeded, but in his heart There is also a sense of absurdity. It turns out that a person's existence has a corresponding position. The mayor and the secretary of the town committee do not value Xiao Weidong, but value the relationship between themselves and Tang Aijun. This is also a way of flattering. If I say that I and Tang Aijun cannot be together in the future, then will the village cadres that my father imagined "go further" just like a castle in the air?
There was no argument at the next New Year's Eve dinner, except that Kang Yunmei told his son some things that had happened at home in the past six months. Xiao Dagan pretended to listen with interest, occasionally interjecting a few words, but he didn't care about these things at all. He even remembered the scene of eating pot stickers and beef soup with Chu Shuyan in Nanjing. The happy New Year scene in the Confucius Temple was much more lively than now, and he even regretted running back to Qingping County to celebrate the New Year.
Xiao Dagan was a little staggered when he returned to his new house because he had drunk some wine. His sister Xiao Aihua went there with her brother. She used a flashlight and pulled her brother's sleeves. At this time, many people in the village were watching the Spring Festival Gala. Occasionally, people set off fireworks. From time to time, there were bright lights in the sky. It was fine even without a flashlight. Xiao Aihua said quietly: "Brother, let me tell you something. A lot of people are trying to find out whether Yang Erni and my sister-in-law's father are unknown, and they say that Yang Erni can be the director of the hospital in the future. This is what I secretly overheard Uncle Shaohe chatting with our father when he came to our house, and I don't know whether it is true or not. If it is true, will my sister-in-law do it?"
Xiao Dagan was stunned, obviously this This news made him at a loss. He had not seen Yang Hongxia for a long time. The latest news about her was that Tang Aijun said that he would go to her dormitory for dinner tomorrow noon. Tang Aijun's tone did not sound like Yang Hongxia had anything to hide. Uncle Shaohe was just a farmer in Songlou Village, and it was impossible for him to know Minister Tang. This kind of rumor was just a rumor spread by country people, which was a typical rumor.
"There won't be such a thing!" Xiao Dagan said firmly. "Aihua, this kind of thing is impossible."
Xiao Aihua also nodded: "I think it's impossible too! They are just trying to steal!"
Xiao Dagan felt the darkness of the world even more. He took the flashlight from his sister's hand and shined it forward, sighed and walked on.
