Chapter 198 The small mountain village is not peaceful
turn out to be,
Ten years ago, Ji Xuyuan was still a very active and powerful figure in Rongwei County.
Not only was he well-positioned in the officialdom, military circles, and business circles, but Ji Xuyuan was also the honorary helmsman of the Brotherhood.
The influence of the former Pian Ge Association in Bashu Province was incredible!
From high-ranking officials to dock laborers, there are traces of the Planner Club in every industry.
At that time, it was not easy to join the Brotherhood: you had to go through three generations of investigation, you had to have a clean background, and you had to be someone with no trace of adultery...
They are not qualified enough to join.
There must also be three generations of ancestors who have never engaged in "shameful occupations": such as those who shave their heads, do pedicures, sell fake medicines, sing operas...
Only those with a clean background and upright character are qualified to join the association at the junior level.
At the entrance of a local meeting, there are two helmsmen: one is in charge of the specific affairs of the meeting.
The other helmsman is a hands-off manager and does not participate in the affairs of the meeting.
And Ji Xuyuan happens to be the honorary helmsman...
Back then, Lu Gang was still called Zhao Gang.
At that time, Zhao Gang was fighting for the new society and traveling around to make contacts.
It's a pity that Zhao Gang was unfortunately arrested and imprisoned once. At this critical moment, it was Ji Xuyuan who came forward to take care of everything.
In the end, Ji Xuyuan went through a lot of troubles, overdrawn a lot of favors, and spent a lot of money on scalpers, and then he fished Zhao Gang out...
After nearly 10 years apart, the two reunited again, and both were deeply saddened and filled with emotions.
Before and after liberation, Lu Gang had been traveling in the northwest desert.
Later, he was transferred to the plateau to assist in countering the rebellion.
I have been doing this for the past 6 years.
Whether it is a desert or a plateau, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the distance between the county and the city is often measured in thousands of miles.
As a result, Lu Gang, who was drifting, could not maintain close contact with his family in the mainland.
And at the same time,
Lu Gang's father... Luo Xuan's cheap grandfather wanted to go to the countryside and settle down. The state would allocate land, homesteads, and even houses directly, so he took Zhao Mei and settled in Zhengxing Brigade.
But not long after, Lu Gang, Zhao Mei's father passed away.
Zhao Mei, who was weak and helpless, finally married Luo Tiezhu and planned to live in the countryside for the rest of her life...
During this period, there was only one letter between Zhao Mei and Lu Gang.
In that era when transportation was extremely backward and the situation was complex and ever-changing, Zhao Mei only wrote one letter to Lu Gang through organizational help.
In this letter, Zhao Mei informed Lu Gang that his father had passed away and that she was marrying a man named Luo Tiezhu.
And he also adopted a child named Luo Xuan...
Ji Xuyuan chatted with Lu Gang for a few words, and then he waved his hand to signal Luo Xuan and Lu Miao to step aside. Ji Xuyuan wanted to have a few private words with Lu Gang.
Lu Miao came out of the house and curiously picked up the little rabbit in the yard with envy on her face, "Brother Luo Xuan, you not only have to work, but you are also busy with your studies, how can you still take care of raising so many rabbits?"
Hey, hey, this rabbit is so cute, I want to take two back."
Now the rabbits in Luo Xuan's house have grown up, and one of them weighs about 4 pounds.
This is still a rabbit in the yard.
The rabbits in the space have grown even fatter, and one rabbit now weighs more than 7 pounds.
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "If you want to raise rabbits, I will buy some small rabbits for you to raise in the future. These rabbits are too big and will make your home very dirty."
How about we eat rabbit for lunch today?"
"Ah? No, no, no, the little bunny is so cute, how can you eat it?"
Lu Miao held the rabbit and refused to let go, "I don't allow you to eat it!"
In order to change the subject, Lu Miao pointed to the busy craftsmen at the construction site next door.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Luo Xuan, do you have members from good families in your production team? Look, they all build houses made of bricks and tiles."
Luo Xuan pointed to the tip of his nose, "That house is mine too."
"ah?"
Lu Miao's eyes widened, "Are you... so powerful? But, my dad wants to move your household registration to the city. Then, what will you do with your new house, Brother Luo Xuan?"
"Just sell it."
Lu Gang's disapproving voice came from behind, "Luo Xuan will live with us from now on. All the houses, furniture, etc. in this production team will be sold. There is nothing in the city? What are you keeping these houses for?"
Lu Gang and Ji Xuyuan, what did they say just now.
Luo Xuan didn't know and didn't want to ask.
Now that Lu Gang said that he was asked to sell the brand new brick house, Luo Xuan secretly complained:
Sell?
It's easy to say, holding a lamp grass in one's mouth.
In the production team, everyone's household registration is fixed, and members of other production teams are not eligible to go to the 6th production team to buy a house.
And those members of our production team have the financial strength to afford a few brick houses like these in Luoxuan.
Looking through the entire production team, there was no one else but Ji Xuyuan.
Ji Xuyuan's favorite house is these two bamboo houses.
How could he, an old man, who is tired of living in a noble house and have a few rooms with bricks and tiles?
So, if you want to get rid of your new house, how easy is it?!
Just as Luo Xuan was about to say that he did not want to move his household registration, he saw smoke and dust billowing on the trail. It turned out to be Lu Gang's driver, Xiao Zhang, driving a jeep to the village.
"Miao Miao, let's go, I'll take you to see your uncle Luo Tiezhu."
Lu Gang ordered, "When the time comes, don't interrupt whatever the adults say. This is a grudge between the older generation and has nothing to do with you. Miaomiao, you just need to say hello to your uncle and stay polite."
"
"No uncle!"
Lu Miao pouted, "He is not good to Brother Luo Xuan. I don't want this uncle."
"Children, what nonsense are you talking about!"
As Lu Gang walked towards the jeep, he told Lu Miao, "Whether he did something right or not, I will settle the accounts with him. As a junior, you should not get involved in the affairs between adults.
Let's go, don't pout, I'm afraid we won't come to visit him again in the future. Just this one time, can't you bear it?"
Watching Lu Gang and his daughter walk away, Ji Xuyuan stood behind Luo Xuan and said quietly, "Lu Gang plans to transfer your household registration to Jiangnei City. What do you think about this matter?"
Luo Xuan snorted, "Just like now, I stand and watch."
"Don't you envy eating residents' food?"
"Wherever there is food to feed people, people have to spend money to buy food. Why do I envy this?"
"I feel a little strange. I once said that I could help you transfer your household registration to the city, but you refused at that time.
Now, you, a cheap old uncle, also want to transfer your household registration. Hiss... But why are you always so uninterested in this?"
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "Maybe I was born to be a member of the commune! Not only do I not want to go to the city, but I also plan to move to the mountains.
The air there is fresh, wild flowers and fruits are everywhere in the mountains, and the mountains can provide everything I need.
It is a quiet corner where there is no fight with the world, no intrigues, and no thousands of flowers to dazzle people's eyes.
How nice it is to live in isolation and have inner peace."
"Nonsense."
Ji Xuyuan was laughed at by Luo Xuan, "To escape from the world and go into seclusion is an idea that only losers who have experienced the prosperity of the world and are tired of intrigues and intrigues would have. How old are you?"
"Tiger tigers appear in the market, and sooner or later they will be skinned by hunters.
The dragon python is entrenched on the road, and sooner or later it will be cramped by Liu Bang."
Luo Xuan looked at the busy figures of Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ding, and murmured to himself, "Dragon lurks in the abyss, tigers hide in the forest, advance can be attacked and retreated, and can be defended. It's great to have a well-founded basis for advance and retreat."
Why do you want to be like Han Xin, who first endured the humiliation of his crotch, then showed off his talents and achieved unlimited glory, and finally was stabbed to death by a bunch of women with bamboo poles... How painful it was."
Ji Xuyuan asked with a smile: "Can I, a tiger that has lost its teeth, imitate you and crawl into the forest?"
"No, toothless tiger...Uncle Zhang, I ask you to ask two painters to go to Uncle Zhou's house to help with the painting of the walls. Are you done?"
Luo Xuan asked Uncle Zhang loudly outside the fence, "Have you sent all the lime and sand?"
Uncle Zhang replied, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. But, Luo Xuan, you..."
I have to pay for the materials myself and have people go to Uncle Zhou’s house to help with the work.
Not to mention Uncle Zhang, Uncle Ding couldn't figure it out. Even among the 20 or so craftsmen on the construction site, none of them could understand Luo Xuan's approach: Isn't this too low-key and petty?
Luo Xuan was going head-to-head with that drunkard and clubber Uncle Zhou, how dare he do that?!
Luo Xuan said, "Just make arrangements. It's better to dissolve enemies than to make knots. They all belong to the folks in the village. We happened to have extra lime and sand at home. We took advantage of the fact that the master craftsmen were there, so we helped get them done without any trouble."
"
Said,
Luo Xuan lowered his voice and said to Ji Xuyuan, "You, a toothless tiger, can still pretend to be a sick cat. Who would hurt a sick cat?"
Ji Xuyuan smiled slightly, "Just what I wanted. Do you know what Lu Gang and I said just now?"
Before Luo Xuan could say anything, Ji Xuyuan said to himself, "I told him that it would be best not to see him and I from now on. The road in the world is unpredictable, so it is better to forget each other in the world and live well."
Given the special identities of Lu Gang and Ji Xuyuan, it is really not suitable for them to get too close.
At least, that's how it looks on the surface...
Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan were chatting in the yard, but at this time, Uncle Zhou's house was bustling with activity.
Ye Erniang's eyes shone with excitement, and she whispered to Uncle Zhou, "Dad, look at it, the walls of our house have been repainted, and it looks like a new house! It's bright and makes people feel happy just looking at it."
"
Uncle Zhou held up the dry cigarette, took a puff with a proud look on his face, and snorted coldly, "What's the point? In my opinion, this Luo Xuan is not thoughtful about things!"
If you can bring in more lime, sand, and broken tiles, and dam the courtyard outside the house for me, and then cover it with three-component soil, then that's what I'll ask someone to do."
Ye Erniang punched him and said with a smile, "Just be satisfied. Luo Xuan compensated you for the soup, medicine, nutrition, and lost time from work, and now they have people come over to paint the walls of our house. Isn't that enough?"
"My mother-in-law's family is just short of knowledge!"
Uncle Zhou looked like a master who was still there, "I worked so hard to make such a big noise, just give me a hundred or ten kilograms of lime and a pile of sand?"
We also received a heavy blow from the turtle grandson, which hurt me for three days!
You just got rid of me with these three melons and two dates? I’m so worthless, sir? Humph..."
My man has brought benefits to the family by bringing back trouble.
Ye Erniang was overjoyed and approached Uncle Zhou and asked, "Master, tell me, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the tractor driver's job, right?"
"Then make trouble with him again!"
Uncle Zhou knocked off the remaining ashes from the cigarette rod and snorted coldly in his nostrils, "If you don't make a fuss, how can you get any benefits? Come on, let's figure it out. How should we make a fuss next time?"
Said,
Uncle Zhou grabbed Ye Er, and the two of them stepped aside, discussing in a low voice the next step, how to get to Luo Xuan's noisy place?
And on the other side.
Lu Gang took Lu Miao with him, followed by the driver Xiao Zhang.
When the three of them arrived at the slope of the small courtyard of Luo Tiezhu's house, Xiao Zhang stood there knowingly.
When I have nothing to do, I count red and gray dragonflies, reach out my hands to pick caterpillars on vegetable leaves, and identify the male and female ants to pass the time.
If there is any unpleasant movement in the room above, Xiao Zhang can rush up as quickly as possible to protect Lu Gang's safety.
