Spring Thunder Chapter 0262: White-Eyed Wolf
"Uncle Xian, why did you call me back in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
After chatting with Angju for a while and giving him some gadgets brought back from the Kingdom of Xun, Nan Yi walked into the village committee. Knowing that he was coming back today, everyone in the village committee was there.
After asking Xian Yaodong, Nan Yi greeted everyone else one by one.
"I'm not sure. You should ask Cuizhu." Xian Yaodong said dully while smoking a cigarette.
"Aunt, then tell me, what's the big deal?"
Xian Yaodong refused to say anything and insisted that Ge Cuizhu speak. Nan Yi guessed that what he was going to say was related to Ge Cuizhu.
"Xian Yaotang ran away and took away 350,000 yuan from the agricultural reclamation company."
"Who? Oh, I see."
Nan Yi suddenly couldn't remember who Xian Yaotang was, but he quickly realized that this was Ge Cuizhu's man, Xian Weizhong's father.
It’s not Nan Yi’s fault. Although Xian Yaotang has a famous name, he is a taciturn person and has little presence in the village.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"He picked up a lover outside and ran away with the money from selling chickens and quails." Ge Cuizhu said gritting her teeth.
"Aunt, you didn't let him know about your own family background?"
"I didn't tell him."
"No wonder. Where is the person? Has he been caught?"
"No, and I don't know where he went. I've sent people out to look for him, but they couldn't find him." Xian Yaodong continued.
"Aunt, what are you going to do?"
"I'll take out the money to make up for it." Ge Cuizhu clenched her teeth tightly, making a clicking sound, and it was obvious that she was extremely angry.
"I'm not talking about money, Auntie, call Wei Zhong back, you guys discuss it first, come up with a charter, and then we'll discuss it. Okay, let's put this matter aside for now, Uncle Xian, is there anything else?"
"There is nothing else to do. The village is in good order. People who went to Europe have established themselves. We have started to receive orders. The clothing factory has just finished making winter clothes and is now rushing to make spring clothes. But the foreign exchange cannot reach us."
"That's needless to say. Uncle Xian, you know that most of the profits are kept in the company in Hong Kong. When the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, they are directly transferred to everyone's account. This year's profits are not bad, and we can have a good year. So, there are some rules that I would like to propose to change."
"What are the rules? Nan Yi, tell me about them."
"First, the retirement age will be lowered. Wenchangwei will have more money. To put it bluntly, they can afford to support more people who live off the elderly. For now, the age limit for men will be lowered to 58 and for women to 60. We will continue to lower it in the future depending on the situation."
What Nan Yi said had nothing to do with gender discrimination, but was based on reality.
At this time, female farmers generally lived longer than male farmers, which was related to the fact that men did too much heavy work and overdrawn their bodies. Although women also had to do heavy work, they were relatively better and their bodies were stronger than men.
As far as Wenchangwei is concerned, even if the retirement ages are different, the old ladies will enjoy a few more years than the old men. There is nothing they can do. When they reach their age, it is impossible to make up for the health they lost when they were young.
"That's no problem. It won't cost much more in a year," said Xian Yaohua.
After Xian Yaohua finished speaking, others echoed him one by one, and the decision was made.
“Secondly, everyone in the village has money in their pockets. It is unrealistic to force them not to spend it. If they want to spend it, let them spend it. They can buy motorcycles or cars, but they cannot build new houses.
Tell everyone that the village will have a unified plan for new houses, and they will definitely build them when the time comes. They don’t need to pay a penny from their own pockets, and the houses built by then will definitely satisfy them.”
Nan Yi said, smacking his lips, "You should drive the car slowly. It will be too conspicuous if you drive it out now."
It is meaningless to keep building and demolishing this house over and over again. According to Nan Yi's plan, in two years, a Wenchangwei New Village will be planned. The houses will be built to the standard of standing for a hundred years and being able to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. There will be no need to be stingy and they will be built directly to 24 floors.
After pressing the elevator button, the layout will be arranged into single rooms with bathrooms or one bedroom and one living room, which are suitable for renting out. The houses will be divided according to the number of people, with you in one row and him in another. The village will manage the property in a unified way, and the rent will be paid to whoever it belongs to.
Plan another villa area for self-residence. They don’t need to be built too high, three floors are enough. They should not be built in the same style either. Each one should be different. As for who lives in which one, just draw lots and see your luck.
In this way, land can be saved and villagers can get the greatest benefits.
After discussing two points, the meeting ended as there was nothing else to talk about. The others left first, but Xian Yaodong grabbed Nan Yi.
"Uncle Xian, is there anything else?"
"Nothing much. We haven't had a drink together in a while. Let's go to the city for a drink at noon?"
"Why make so much trouble? Just have a drink in the village. Do you have any vegetables at home?" Nan Yi waved his hand and said.
"Of course there are dishes, but they are not very good."
"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, just drink whatever you want."
"That's fine. I'll go back and get ready. You come over in an hour."
Xian Yaodong said this and walked out in a hurry.
Nan Yi thought that Xian Yaodong wanted to say something to him, most likely something private, something private...what could it be?
Still looking pretty even though you are old?
Thinking in his mind, Nan Yi came to the river again and walked upstream along the river bank, observing the water in the river as he walked.
"Alas, the river water still cannot be saved." After walking for a short distance, Nan Yi sighed.
The water in the river had become turbid, with several dead fish and various garbage floating on the surface.
Xian Weimin is not in the village and there is no one in charge of the sewage treatment office. The factory has been built and the sewage has been discharged into the river. Now if they want to destroy someone else's sewage treatment office, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Everything was fine the last time I came back, it’s only been a short time.
Now economic development is the top priority. Promoting environmental protection is a thankless task. No one will pay attention to Nan Yi, and he will even be rebuked.
"Oh, you guys in Wenchangwei are living a good life, so why can't we live a good life too?"
"Comrade, this is wrong. Don't destroy the good situation of economic development..."
Nan Yi could only remain speechless about things like this.
If the granaries are not full, how can we know the etiquette?
After standing by the river for a long time, Nan Yi walked towards Xian Yaodong's house.
There is no need to be too formal when chatting with Xian Yaodong. Just sit down, pour the wine, drink half a glass first, and then talk while drinking.
"Nan Yi, I want to find a companion."
"Anyone you like?"
"Yes, coincidentally, her name is also Ayu."
"From out of town?"
"right."
"Tell me more specifically."
"After her husband died in her hometown, she had no way to make a living, so she came here to look for a job. I happened to meet her on the street one time. I felt sorry for her because she had a child with her, so I gave her 100 yuan. Who knew..."
"Wait, there is a child?" Nan Yi interrupted Xian Yaodong.
"There was a boy, four years old."
"How does that Ayu treat the child?"
"I love my child very much and I care about him in everything."
Nan Yi raised his glass and clinked it with Xian Yaodong's, took a sip, and put the glass down. "Uncle Xian, I have to advise you, there's nothing wrong with being a widow, it's good for a widow to marry a widower. But it's different with a child, if it's a girl, it's not a big deal.
But she is raising a boy, so this is a story. Tell me, in Ah Yu's heart, who will be the sky in the future, you or her son?"
"That must be her son. Even if I'm with her, we're just a couple who got married later in life, and we can't be that close."
"That's it. A four-year-old child can already remember things. He knows who his biological father is. The probability of raising him well is slim. Instead, the chance of raising a child who is ungrateful is greater.
Besides, if A-Yu really wants to be with you, do you think she wants you to be considerate or is she trying to raise a son for her?
Uncle Xian, you are not young anymore. Your child is four years old, and that Ah Yu is only about twenty-five or twenty-six at most, right?"
"Twenty-two."
"Hey, Uncle Xian, are you tired of living? Do you want to leave early?"
"What are you talking about? I'm only in my forties."
"In another ten years, she will be as fierce as a wolf and a tiger. As for you, your days are numbered. I don't think you will live long enough to see her son come and torture you." Nan Yi said playfully.
"You poor fellow, you are making fun of your uncle Xian."
"Haha, let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this." Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "If you really want to ask me for my opinion, then I don't agree. It doesn't matter if she is a widow, a divorced woman, or one with a son. Uncle Xian, you can't afford the gamble. I don't want to see you being kicked out of the house at your age.
Although the village is in charge and you don't have to worry about having no place to eat, it would be a joke, wouldn't it?
I advise you to think it over again. With your wealth, you can find anyone you want. Otherwise, I can help you find a movie star in Hong Kong?
Just tell me which one you like and I’ll help you find a matchmaker.”
"For someone like me, can I find a celebrity?"
"Why not? Just name the one you want and I will definitely find you a matchmaker."
Xian Yaodong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You poor boy, are you teasing your uncle Xian? You are talking about Ah Yu, what celebrity are you talking about?"
"I've already said that I don't approve of you being with her. Of course, this is your own business, Uncle Xian. You decide for yourself."
If the child was still in swaddling clothes and had no memory, Nan Yi would not object, but this boy is already four years old and can remember things, so it is too difficult to raise a boy.
Nan Yi has seen several similar cases like Xian Yaodong's, and basically none of them ended well.
The probability of a 22-year-old with a son falling in love with a widower in his early 40s is too low. It is probably for the sake of the child's future that she grits her teeth and pretends to be possessed by a ghost, enduring humiliation for more than ten years, and then, one day, she will sing about her emancipation.
If Ah Yu is not planning to have another child, then her purpose is very clear, which is to find a man to help her raise her son; if she is willing to have another child, it will be fine if it is a girl, but if it is a boy, Xian Yaodong may not be able to treat them equally, which will pose a hidden danger.
We have to pray that A-Yu’s child is not a ruthless person, otherwise, the Shock Department can be shocked for once based on facts.
Xian Yaodong listened to Nan Yi's words without commenting.
Then, Xian Yaodong changed the topic and Nan Yi started talking about other things.
As long as it involves "love", men and women will become very stubborn and will never listen to other people's advice. Nan Yi can only hope that Xian Yaodong can win the bet.
On that day, Nan Yi did not dare to use the river water in the pipe. Instead, he went to the old well in the village to fetch a load of water, boiled it and used it for washing.
The next morning, he called someone to bring a few sample tubes, took samples of river water and well water, and sent them to Fan Shengzhi for testing.
Although Fan Shengzhi is not a testing agency, it is still capable of analyzing a water sample.
The wealth of a village can be hidden from outsiders, but it cannot be hidden from people in nearby villages. During the prime time in the morning, people selling meat, tofu, rice noodles, and glutinous rice chicken will come to Wenchangwei to shout their wares. They will not go to other villages until they have gone around the entire Wenchangwei.
A scientist carrying a grain amplifier will appear in the village a little later. At about the same time, someone will come on a tricycle with a diesel engine and a mysterious machine that can make golden hoop sticks (popcorn sticks).
These are all children’s favorites. As long as they are put at the school gate, we will always receive a lot of .
Half of the village's primary school is planned by Nan Yi to be used as a welfare home, but it has not been put into use yet. The village has built a nursery in that half, and all children can be sent there as long as they can walk.
This nursery is full-time and takes care of everything from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping. As long as parents are willing to send their children here, it is okay for them to pick their children up after a few years. We guarantee that the children will grow up safely.
Nan Yi went to the nursery and thought that it would be a shame not to start bilingual education for the children since they were just learning to speak.
Nan Yi kept in mind that he would find a Cantonese-speaking female Eagle from Xiangkeng to be a kindergarten teacher, and he would get this done when he returned to Xiangkeng.
From Nan Yi's perspective, the importance of English is unquestionable.
Most of the world's wealth is in the hands of "English speakers", as is high-tech. If you don't want to be lost in the crowd and want to be one step ahead, English is a skill that you must master.
After reading the Hundred-Year Plan, Nan Yi carried his hoe to his private plot, rubbed the back of the Ten-Year Plan, and scraped away all the half-withered weeds on the ground.
While scraping, he also shook off the weeds from time to time and shook off the dirt on them.
Of course, he did not forget to let the tiger cub carry a sprayer and watch by the side. Whenever dust was raised, the sprayer would spray water mist to blow the dust back to the ground.
We also have to consider environmental protection when farming, right?
After staying in the village for two days, Xian Weizhong did not come back. Just when Nan Yi was planning to go to the capital first, Xian Yaodong came to Nan's house with a woman and a child.
"Nan Yi, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Yu, and this is her son Jiang Xiaodong. She and I will be living together from now on. We are not planning on having a big wedding. I will just cook a table of food tonight and treat our family to a meal. You must come early."
"Auntie, hello." Nan Yi greeted Zhang Yu and said to Xian Yaodong, "Okay, I will definitely be there early."
"It's a damn eventful time."
Nan Yi glanced at Jiang Xiaodong for a few times and complained in his heart.
