023 The end of social interaction is human nature(1/2)

The most respected second uncle in the village often appears on Duan Yi’s farm recently.

"Hey, there are so many local people. When will I get two cups?" My second uncle smiled.

"What are you doing?" Duan Yi couldn't understand.

"Tsk!" The second uncle deliberately emphasized his tone. "College students read too much and don't recognize their hometown dialect. Is it just a drink of two glasses of water?"

"Oh!" Duan Yi understood. "But I can't drink."

"tiu~" the second uncle's tone was clear and clear. "If you can't drink, it doesn't mean that the elders and fellow villagers can't do it!"

"That's right," Duan Yi said. "All the elders and fellow villagers have extraordinary alcohol tolerance."

"I'll tell you," said the second uncle. "You are well-developed and you have to invite the fellow villagers to drink a few cups, otherwise they will say, young people don't know how to respect seniors. You have been back for so long, and everyone has no need to smoke a cigarette. Look at the second brother at the village head, every time he returns to his hometown, he doesn't respectfully hand him a cigarette to his second uncle!"

“But I don’t smoke.”

"Hey!" The second uncle's tone was consistent. "I just said that Duan Yi is not polite. If you don't smoke, don't you know how to buy cigarettes?"

“I haven’t bought it.”

"Hey—" The second uncle shook his head and left.

The next day, Uncle Ten came to the farm.

"Duan Yi said something, don't say it was me!" Uncle Ten was mysterious.

"Don't worry, tell me."

"Don't offend your second uncle," said the tenth uncle. "If you have something to do, please drink more. He is so slutty. He drank some wine yesterday and said in front of the public that you are not polite. A college student has become rich and has never given a cigarette to the villagers."

"Well," Duan Yi said. "I know he is a bad person, so just ignore him."

"No," said Uncle Ten. "You don't know. If you ignore him, he will make trouble."

"What can he mess with?"

"He likes to provoke discord and makes people rebel," said Uncle Ten. "He is also familiar with the people in the village office. If there is anything, the village office will pass by him, and the subsidies issued by the village office will pass by him."

"Oh," Duan Yi said. "This is quite amazing."

"You don't know that some documents for benefiting the people cannot be distributed in the village, but some people took the money away." Uncle Ten said. "Who do you think it would be? Recently, there was an even more annoying thing, that is, the government subsidizes farmers with 1,000 yuan per sow. My Uncle Ten went to the village office to fill out the application form. After two days, he went to ask about the progress. The people in the village office said that there was no application. Uncle Ten asked who had been there that day. Those people first stammered, but later when they were asked anxiously, they said ambiguously that they seemed to have seen the second uncle."

"The heart is really dark!" Duan Yi said. "But he didn't get any benefits!"

"So if you disrespect him, you will be messed with water." Uncle Ten sighed. "There are really all kinds of people in the small village, and some people can't stand you in a better life than him!"

"I'll go to fill out the form for you tomorrow." Duan Yi said. "By the way, I applied for the ten sows in my family."

The next day, Duan Yi came to the village office.

In the simple office, several people were yelling at home. Duan Yi found that his second uncle was also among them.

The appearance of Duan Yi and Uncle Shi did not attract everyone's attention.

"Where are you getting the application form for sow subsidy?" Duan Yi asked to everyone who was having sex.

One of the middle-aged men stood up slowly, took out two forms from the old filing cabinet, threw them on the table, and said in a bad mood: "You can write!"

"He can!" said the second uncle next to him. "Where is a college student!"

Fill out the form and the middle-aged man slowly took it back.

"When will the subsidy be paid?" Duan Yi asked.

"I will notify you from here." The middle-aged man didn't look back.

"How do you inform?"

"Didn't you write a phone number?" The middle-aged man looked down at the application form.

“There is no requirement to write a phone number on the form.”

"Write it next to you!"

Two days later, Duan Yi went over and asked about the progress.

The middle-aged man seemed to have forgotten Duan Yi, took out a stack of application forms and asked Duan Yi to find it himself.

"Have you not sent it out these two days?" Duan Yi did not find it.

“Go to town every Friday.”

"Why did the application I wrote the day before yesterday disappear?"

"I don't know this," the other party said slowly. "All application forms are here."

"I'm afraid you only know how to drink two cups!" Duan Yi said.

"What is your attitude?" The other party changed his face instantly. "Young people are careful when speaking!"

Duan Yi went back and killed a chicken, fryed a fish, and opened a strong liquor.

The second uncle was invited to come.

"The local chicken is really delicious!" The second uncle slurped a sip of the wine. "This wine is also strong enough!"

"Second uncle," Duan Yi looked at the other party's concentrated eating habits. "You are a complete wine bag!"

"Yeah!" The second uncle chewed the chicken legs with relish, but after two seconds, he suddenly raised his head and spurted out his lips covered in grease, "What?"

"Don't you think your life is boring?"

"What?" The second uncle took turns to look at the chicken legs in his hand, and the strange young boy on the opposite side.

"Your ugly human nature will not only not make you feel guilty, but you will get endless pleasure from the process of doing evil." Duan Yi said. "How did you do it?"

"What?" The second uncle put down the chicken legs in his hand with reluctant actions, and glanced at the thick chicken legs and the plump oily chicken legs with the same reluctant look.

"How can you have someone like you in this world!" Duan Yi said. "Have you been abused in your childhood?"

"What?" The second uncle wiped his mouth, wondering if he should pick up the wine glass that he had glanced at.

"Why did you take away everyone's subsidy application?" Duan Yi asked. "Why do you feel uncomfortable when you are doing better?"

"Young Master, don't swear!" The second uncle glanced at the indeed seductive chicken legs last, stood up firmly, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"The chicken legs must be finished first!"

"I have never seen such a rude young man in my generation," said the second uncle. "I am simply disrespectful to my elders. How about I leave? Can you beat the old man?"

Duan Yi pressed the second uncle's shoulder and the old man was forced to sit back.

The second uncle tried to stand up again and again, but the younger generation was afraid.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Hello!" Duan Yi said.

"Hello!" Lin Shuang's tone was obviously sad. "Why are you always so polite?"

"Even if the husband and wife are concerned, we must respect each other!" Duan Yi said. "Besides, we are not husband and wife."

"You make people feel so strange!" Lin Shuang said. "Can you not be so polite to me?"

"This—" Duan Yi felt that he could not be presumptuous to her. "Are you still here for your house today?"

"Here, I walked out. I was upset when I saw him. He brought a bunch of toys to the children. My mother was very happy to see him like this."

"Do you have a child at home?" Duan Yi asked, holding one hand on his second uncle's shoulder, and his expression signaled him to take the chicken legs.

"It's my sister's child, let my mother help me take care of it." Lin Shuang said.

"I don't even know you have a sister," Duan Yi said.

"I still have a lot to say to you," Lin Shuang said. "But now I really want to know what you are doing."

"Am I?" Duan Yi said. "I'm talking about life with my second uncle in the village!"

"Have he told you that if you don't work hard, you will be sad!" Lin Shuang's tone became unexpectedly light.

"It's not that." Duan Yi said. "I'm talking to him, why can human nature be shamelessly ugly."

Duan Yi talked and laughed unkemptly at the microphone. The completely boring content on the phone torture the second uncle who was trapped by the table. The second uncle looked at Duan Yi who had completely ignored outsiders at this moment, and never stopped trying to stand up, but all ended in failure.

After chatting for three hours on the phone, I finally said to each other more than ten times before I hung up reluctantly.

"Oh," Duan Yi said. "Sorry, I almost forgot that there are still customers."

"Duan Yi, what do you want?" asked the second uncle.

"I just want to know what makes you so unscrupulous." Duan Yi said. "Do you enjoy being complimented too much? Do you enjoy being a big brother too much? Do you enjoy being a peacemaker and being completely in control of the overall situation? Do you enjoy being a superiority that you compare with poor villagers? Are you afraid that these feelings of yours will disappear one day? Are you afraid that someone will replace them and completely take away the prestige you care so much?"

"Yes!" The second uncle looked at Duan Yi's cold face, the ugly soul that was completely seen through by the sharp young man, could not hide, and lowered his head and felt sad. "But what can you get if you torture people like this?"

"The world in the countryside is already very miserable. People like you, in the manner of a clan elder, show the bully's face, and become more and more chaotic." Duan Yi said. "I want people like you to disappear completely."

"You are intimidating!" The second uncle showed a look of horror. Perhaps he thought of the dark night, so he had the conditions to let all this happen.

"This dark night has the conditions to let all this happen." Duan Yi looked at his second uncle's trembling body and said, "You go!"

The next day, the elders and villagers learned through the boring but extremely efficient rumors in the countryside that Duan Yi invited his second uncle to a sumptuous dinner.

Duan Yi slowly understood why the country people like to gather under the roots of trees to talk about their shortcomings, because there is no other choice.
