Chapter 20 The Big Trumpet in the Village
After sitting in the vineyard for a night, Grandpa Shen's mind became much clearer and he was not as angry as he was yesterday.
He finished the noodles in a few mouthfuls and said to his siblings: "You have been exhausted these past two days. Go back and have a good rest. They don't dare to come even if the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.
I’ll go find the village chief.”
Shen Jiashu was worried about his grandfather's health and advised him: "Grandpa, please go home and take a nap first. It's so early in the morning and the village chief may not have gotten up yet."
"I'm not sleepy. I can't sleep even if I go back. Go back quickly to save your grandma from worrying." Grandpa Shen strode out of the vineyard with his hands behind his back.
It was only around 7 o'clock in the morning, and village chief Lin Hongxi had just gotten up. Before breakfast, Grandpa Shen came to the door.
Grandpa Shen is an old party member in the village. He is a decent man and fair in dealing with things. He is a highly respected old man in the village. Lin Hong was delighted to see the old man coming and greeted him warmly: "Uncle Shen, I heard that you came to see me yesterday.
I'm really sorry. I had a meeting in the town yesterday and didn't come back until after nine o'clock in the evening. I was thinking of going to your house after breakfast... Is there anything urgent? "
Grandpa Shen did not tell him about the thief in the field, but said: "Hongxi, you have the key to the village office. Can you please turn on the loudspeaker for me? I want to tell you something." ."
There are loudspeakers in rural areas. The large loudspeakers in Qinghe Village have covered the whole village. Villagers can hear the sound from the "big loudspeakers" standing anywhere in the village.
Usually, all major and minor events in the village are announced through the loudspeaker. Although there is no explicit rule that villagers cannot use the loudspeaker, the village chief is basically the only one who uses the loudspeaker.
Lin Hongxi was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse directly. Instead, she asked: "Ah? Uncle Shen... what on earth is going on? Please tell me first."
Seeing that Grandpa Shen was sullen and silent, Lin Hongxi's wife bumped him with her elbow and whispered: "Just let him use it. Why are you asking so many questions? What other bad things can he do?"
Ten minutes later, Grandpa Shen's rich and powerful voice spread through the loudspeaker to every corner of Qinghe Village.
"Ahem! Hey, hey, can you all hear me?"
Not long after dawn, the villagers had not gone to the ground yet. Some were having breakfast; .
As soon as Shen Qiuqiu and Shen Jiashu walked to the door of their home, they heard their grandfather's familiar voice coming from the loudspeaker. The siblings couldn't help but paused.
Grandma Shen, who was sitting in the yard weaving bamboo baskets, also stopped what she was doing.
From the loudspeaker, Grandpa Shen's voice sounded again.
"I am Shen Laoer, the Shen Laoer who made a lot of money growing grapes.
Everyone is curious about how much money I make from growing grapes, so today I will tell you all about it.
I started growing grapes the year before last. I planted eight acres of grape seedlings, cement pillars, fertilizers, pesticides, anti-hail nets... a total of nearly 180,000 was spent.
This is the first year of production, and the yield per mu is about 2,000 kilograms. The price offered by the cooperative is eight yuan per kilogram. If it is sold to the cooperative, the old man has worked for three years in vain, and will have to pay 20,000 yuan.
My granddaughter felt sorry for me, so she found a way to take out the food little by little. When it was good, she could sell it for 40 to 50 yuan per catty, but the price is only for large fruits. After all, one acre of land can be sold for 5 yuan. , sixty thousand yuan, maybe.
They say that our family has made a lot of money, but it is actually hard-earned money. Don’t be jealous, everyone. If you want to grow it, I promise to teach you step by step. But what will the situation be like in three years? Can the grapes grown be sold? Go, the old man can't guarantee it.
Now that we’ve talked about growing grapes, if you have anything else to ask, just come to my house and see me.
Another thing is that there was a thief in my vineyard a few days ago. I guess dozens of kilograms were stolen. The old man stayed in the vineyard all night, and a group of them came again.
The old man has already seen who it is specifically..."
Hearing this, Zhang Haojie, who was still sleeping with his head covered in bed, suddenly sat up, his heart beating into his throat.
Li Jianpeng, who was sitting at home having breakfast, was so frightened that his hands shook and his chopsticks fell to the ground.
In the loudspeaker, Grandpa Shen's speech continued.
"They are all from the same village. The children are young and immature. I won't say who they are here, and I won't call 110.
I just want to remind the children that you are still young and there is still a long way to go in the future. Don’t go the wrong way and eat stolen things without peace of mind, right?
Our Qinghe Village is a poor village, but even if we are poor, we must be poor and have a backbone. We must not do sneaky things or follow crooked roads.
Children, you are still young and smart, and now the national policies have improved. Everyone has enough to eat and warm clothes. As long as you are not lazy and work hard for a few years, you will definitely be able to live a good life.
To get rid of poverty and become rich, we have to rely on you young people. Don't think wrongly. You will not end well if you take the wrong way to get something wrong. You have to earn a good life by yourself."
Grandpa Shen sat in the office of the village government house and talked for more than half an hour, every word sincere and well-intentioned.
Lin Hongxi, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but applaud him, "Uncle Shen, what you said is so good. If everyone in the village had your awareness, our Qinghe Village would have been lifted out of poverty eight hundred years ago."
It's past eight o'clock in the morning, when the villagers are busy working in the fields. Today, there is no movement in every household. They are all thinking about what Grandpa Shen just said on the loudspeaker.
Wang Weidong’s wife pinched her husband’s arm hard and said, “After drinking a few more mouthfuls of horse urine, I can’t control my bad mouth.
Look how much trouble this has caused to Uncle Shen’s family! Let me see if you dare to visit his house again!"
Wang Weidong raised his hand and gave himself a slap, "I have such a bad mouth! I'm going to apologize to Uncle Shen right now. You can help me pack my luggage. I'll go to the vineyard to keep vigil in the evening to see who dares to come. steal."
The east end of the village.
Zhang Yong carried a fire stick and angrily broke into his son's room. With a thick-armed fire stick, he directly greeted the half-grown boy on the bed.
"Tell me! Is it you! I heard the dog barking these two nights and I felt something was wrong. It turns out that you went out to steal something!
Your mother said she would send you to a technical secondary school, but you refused. You just idle around in the village all day long and didn't help with the household chores. Your mother spoiled you and I didn't bother to care about you!
I feed you with good food and drink, but you develop a problem! You don't want to learn, but you dare to steal things! Let's go, follow me to the police station! I can't teach you anymore, let the police teach you!"
As he said this, he dragged his son out of the door.
Zhang Haojie was originally timid. When his father said that he would be sent to the police station, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. He cried and begged for mercy: "Dad, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. Don't take me to the police station." "
When Wang Xiaoling saw the red mark on her son's arm, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed. She quickly grabbed Zhang Yong and said, "The child is still young and not sensible. Uncle Shen doesn't care about it. What are you doing!"
"I'll be 18 next year! Still so young? He can steal today, rob tomorrow, and kill people and set fire the day after tomorrow! It's all because of you!
