It is difficult for young men in rural areas to find a partner after they are over twenty-five, and the chance of being single is almost 90%. Tiger Lao Qi really struggled with his marriage, worshiped Yue Lao, begged Bodhisattva, and finally found a partner.

A person who can pinch and calculate can tell a fortune.

"You will never be a bachelor in this life, your marriage is just east of your home!"

"when?"

"The year of great drought!"

"Will there be children?"

"Both sons and daughters!"

"Is my wife pretty?"

"one in ten thousand!"

…

Since then, everyone has been looking forward to good weather, but Hu Lao Qi is looking forward to the year of severe drought! Don't tell me, when Hu Lao Qi was 26 years old, his hometown really suffered a severe drought. By May or Six

In the month when crops need water the most, there has been no rain in two months. The leaves of corn and sorghum have withered and turned yellow. Even the two public wells in the village cannot draw water.

There are three windlass wells in the entire village, two of which are public, and the other one belongs to Hu Laoqi's family. It is the only convenience left to the family by his bandit father.

The two public wells can only pump in some water every few days, which cannot meet the needs of the entire village. But the strange thing is that the well in Hu Laoqi is always full of water, and the water quality is particularly good.

The whole village and Hu Lao Qi's family didn't move around very much. In those years, if any family had something bad happened (unusual death), they thought this family was evil and unlucky. Four children of Hu Lao Qi's family died, and two people were shot.

, so no one wanted to have anything to do with his family. Even if he worked in the production team, everyone would isolate him.

Water is the source of life and is indispensable. At first, everyone could make do with it, but as time went by, everyone couldn't stand it anymore, so someone went to discuss with Hu Lao Qi and asked him to open the door to his home so that everyone could come at any time.

Go to the well in his yard to get water.

Hu Lao Qi didn't agree at all. He didn't like the people in this village, and even hated them. Whether they had water or not had nothing to do with him. Hu Lao Qi used the water from the well to water the vegetables in his garden to make them bright green.

, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and other vegetables. Tiger Lao Qi is diligent, getting up early and fetching water from home at night, and taking care of his own land to the point of envy.

More and more people came to negotiate with Hu Laoqi, but Hu Laoqi didn't buy it at all. Even the two captains of the North and South teams in the village were pushed back by him.

Most people would have been beaten long ago, but no one dared to touch Tiger Lao Qi. Many people are good at bullying the weak. When encountering a ruthless person like Tiger Lao Qi, who is fearless and fearless, it is not the family's business, and no one is willing to do it.

Risk your life to stand out.

The east courtyard of Hu Lao Qi's house is the home of Che Dajun, the production leader of the South Team. It is the only family that Hu Lao Qi gives some face to. After Hu Lao Qi's bearded father and second brother died, everyone stayed away except Che Dajun.

I couldn't see it, so I helped arrange the burial and put up a few coffin boards.

The problem of water shortage became more and more serious. Everyone did not dare to do anything to Hu Lao Qi, so they began to force Che Dajun to negotiate with Hu Lao Qi. Che Dajun once went to negotiate with Hu Lao Qi, and Hu Lao Qi was very polite and said:

"Uncle, I'm giving you face. I don't care if your family comes to fetch water! It's hard for the rest of you to do anything!"

Che Dajun struggled to speak, but Hu Laoqi repeated the same sentence over and over again: "No one helped bury my father and my brother when they died, so why should I care about them? Unless those people go to eat three heads for my father, there is no way!"

It was simply impossible to ask everyone to kowtow to the murderer. Che Dajun did not tell everyone because he was afraid of causing public outrage and making it difficult to deal with.

Two days later, everyone in the village gathered some things and asked Che Dajun to come forward again. Che Dajun was forced to have no choice but to look for Hu Laoqi again.

Not long after, Che Dajun walked out of Hu Lao Qi with his things and shook his head. Everyone felt cold, knowing that the negotiation was not successful. Some people became angry, and a few young people were even ready to rush in and fight Hu Lao Qi.

In the end, they were grabbed by the elderly in their respective homes.

Several people with ideas from the North and South teams gathered together to discuss for a while, and finally decided to report the situation to the commune. However, the entire commune was in a difficult period of severe drought, and the leaders were so busy that they had no time to deal with this matter.

The commune secretary gave the last word: "Che Dajun, Hu Laoqi is a member of your southern team. You come to solve it. If it can't be solved, I will kill your captain. Once the problem is solved, I will let you go to the brigade to be the deputy captain!"

Che Dajun had no choice but to bravely walk into Hu Laoqi's house again.

"Old Qi, you think kowtowing is definitely impossible. How about you make another sincere condition?"

"With this condition, I just want to see whether it's more serious to die of thirst or to kowtow?!" Tiger Lao Qi did not let go.

"If you don't agree, my uncle, the captain, will finish his work!" Che Dajun burst into tears after saying these words.

"Uncle, let me think about it, you can come back at night!" Hu Laoqi remembered the fortune teller's words that he would marry a wife in the year of severe drought. He thought about it carefully and found that this well was probably the bargaining chip for him to marry a wife.

But don't be too hasty.

In the evening, Che Dajun came to Hu Laoqi's house again. Hu Laoqi did not go around in circles and said to Che Dajun: "Uncle, there is really a condition that can solve this matter! As long as I can marry a wife, I will hand over the well to the team immediately."

Li Guan!"

After Hu Laoqi finished speaking, Che Dajun had a sad face and was stunned on the spot.

Che Dajun never expected that the condition put forward by Hu Laoqi was to marry him a wife. Their village is not big, with more than 200 households. The mountains are not big, the water is not fertile, and there are no paddy fields. The main crop is corn.

It is the poorest village in the whole commune.

There is little flat land in the entire village, and there is a lot of hillside land. The grain output has not been increasing. Every year, we eat resold grain. No girl from other places wants to marry here. All the girls in the village want to marry outside. So there are more than 20 people in the village.

Being single and marrying a wife are the biggest headaches for many families.

"Uncle, on this condition, it's useless for anyone to say anything. If it works, it will be fine. If it doesn't work, I'll throw it down!" Hu Laoqi hesitated to speak when he saw the army of cars, and directly sealed his mouth.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with everyone!" Che Dajun sighed and walked out the door.

"By the way, uncle, I forgot to mention, I don't have any betrothal gift, nor am I engaged. If that's OK, I'll just get the marriage certificate. I'll hand over the well, write the paper and put my fingerprints on it. If it doesn't work, it won't be easy for anyone else to do it in the future!"

Lao Qi simply explained all the conditions clearly.

Che Dajun came out and told Hu Lao Qi's conditions one by one, and the people in the village immediately exploded.

"With the same virtue as his dead father, he is a living bandit!"

"Which girl is not blind when she marries into his family? The family is so poor that they are as poor as a mouse, and they also have a stupid brother. Isn't this a big deal for a lion?"

"If that doesn't work, just take action. There are so many of us, why are we afraid of him?"
