Shui Wang happened to be at home today. As soon as he heard the village radio, he immediately shouted excitedly into the house.
"Dad, did you hear that? Brother Defu said that we will be from Yongning in the future!!"
"Well, I'm not deaf! How can I not hear such a loud sound?"
Although Li Dayou's words sounded a bit unkind, the smile on his face betrayed him.
Like his son, Li Dayou was also very excited.
A few years ago, he would never have dared to dream that one day he would become a native of Yong (Yin) Ning (Sichuan)!
Snap!
Suddenly, a black shadow hit Shui Wang directly on the head.
"ah!"
Shui Wang was in pain and couldn't help but scream out. Then he rubbed his head and looked down carefully. It turned out that the thing that hit his head was a black cloth shoe.
There was a hole in the upper left front of this cloth shoe. Shui Wang knew at a glance that the shoe belonged to his grandfather. He looked at his grandfather sitting beside him with an innocent look on his face.
"Master, why are you hitting your forehead?"
The old party secretary glanced at him coldly and did not answer his doubts immediately. He took two puffs of cigarette before scolding him.
"Well, you should be beaten! What happened? Haiji is so unwelcome to you? Have you forgotten where you are from?"
"Return to Yongning people!"
"The little guy who forgets his ancestors should be beaten!"
Shui Wang glanced at his grandfather with an aggrieved look. He felt that his grandfather was a little on the line this time. The fact was not at all what his grandfather said. How could he forget his ancestors by counting past mistakes?
He didn't dare to forget his ancestors, he was just a little excited.
Xihaigu is one of the poorest areas in Ning Province. Shui Wang has lived in the mountains of Xihaigu since he was a child. Although he has made money now, he still has a bit of inferiority in his bones.
After all, he was born in the poorest place in Ning Province.
Yuquanying is very close to Yongning. Shui Wang usually picks up jobs outside, and the people he meets most are local people.
Sometimes he has to eat and drink when taking jobs. When chatting at the wine table, people often ask him where he is from. Every time he encounters this question, he is a little embarrassed to say that he is from Haiji. Usually he says that he is from Jintan Village.
Or from Yuquanying.
But starting from today, the situation is different. If others ask this question again, he can directly answer that he is from 'Yongning'.
He doesn't want to mention his hometown, not because he doesn't like it, but because he feels inferior.
"And you!"
After giving the lesson, the old branch secretary glared at Li Dayou again, and then with lightning speed, he took off the other shoe on his foot and threw it towards Li Dayou's head.
Snap!
Li Dayou also received a flying shoe on his head!
Li Dayou couldn't help but feel a little angry after being hit for no reason, but the person who threw him was his father, and it was natural for him to beat his son. Even if he was angry, he could only endure it.
"Dad, what are you doing? This is a good thing."
"snort!"
The old branch secretary snorted coldly and said angrily.
"What a fart!"
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Li Dayou picked up his fingers and counted the benefits in detail.
"Look, first of all, we will be under the control of Yongning from now on. Yongning is so close to us. If anything happens, we don't have to run to Haiji. Let's talk about Shuiwang's marriage. Wait for Shuiwang
When you reach the age to get the certificate, you no longer need to go to Haiji, you can go directly to Yongning to get it."
"Also, secondly, when we are transferred to Yongning, our household registration will be moved here. From now on, we will be from Yongning. When Shui Wang gives birth to a baby, his children will be able to go to school here.
, if you study well in the future, you can go to junior high school or high school in Yinchuan!"
"Thirdly, Yongning County is richer than Haiji. Jintan Village has been allocated to Yongning. In the future, subsidies and other subsidies will definitely be more than Haiji's."
"Fourthly, we will no longer need high-priced water in the future. You have to calculate how high the water fee in our village has been in the past few years. Every time we use water, we have to pay more than the locals."
"Why is this? Isn't it because we are outsiders and are not under local control!"
The old branch secretary lowered his eyes and eyebrows, and glanced absently at his son who was talking endlessly about the benefits, although he had to admit in his heart that what his son said made sense.
But he just felt uncomfortable!
For the past sixty years, he has been living in the mountains of Xihaigu. The label "Yongquan Villager" has followed him for most of his life. He was born there, grew up there, joined the army there, retired there, and worked as a soldier there.
Party secretary.
The three words "Yongquan Village" have long been engraved in his bones and blood.
Even though he came to Jintan Village, he always thought that he was still from Yongquan Village, because the same things were written in the household registration book.
However, from now on, he no longer even thinks about it in his household registration book.
He is over sixty years old this year. As he gets older, his legs and feet are no longer so numb. Moreover, his family has all moved to Jintan Village. In the days to come, if nothing happens, he probably won't
Let’s go back to Yongquan Village.
Although the Li family's ancestral grave is still in Yongquan Village and people are still required to go back during the Qingming Festival, these are matters for the children and grandchildren. The old party secretary rarely visits the grave at such an old age.
Therefore, the next time the old party secretary returns to Yongquan Village, it will most likely be after his death, because after his death, he will definitely be buried with the ancestors of the Li family.
"By the way, I also remembered another thing. In the future, the electricity bills in our village will also be reduced, and if the power supply station continues to cut off power to us, we can go directly to Yongning County to report to the leaders.
.”
Li Dayou, who was talking eloquently, didn't notice the old party secretary's increasingly gloomy expression at all. He was just talking to himself.
Not only that, he became more and more excited as he talked, spitting everywhere.
"dad."
On the contrary, Shui Wang on the side noticed that something was not right about the look on his grandfather's face. He quietly walked up to Li Dayou, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and at the same time nuzzled his lips in the direction of his grandfather.
"Well."
Only then did Li Dayou notice the abnormality. Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, he still closed his mouth very wisely.
Afterwards, Li Dayou frowned slightly, lowered his head, and his mind started to think about the reason why his father was angry. After much thought, he finally placed the responsibility on Shui Wang.
After thinking he figured it out, Li Dayou immediately slapped Shui Wang on the head.
"You're such a coward, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get some tobacco for grandpa!"
"dad?"
Shui Wang was puzzled by the sudden 'attack'. He covered his head and looked at Li Dayou with an aggrieved face.
"Both are cowards!"
Seeing these two living treasures, the old branch secretary was angry and funny. He muttered a curse to them, got up and walked towards the house.
Out of sight, out of mind!
On this day, many people in Jintan Village had scenes similar to those in Li Dayou's house.
