Chapter 386 Wuthering Heights

The sun is getting warmer and the mountain wind is getting faster. The old leader and Zhenhua are sighing loudly. When talking about someone and something, their laughter is very refreshing.

"Chief, after hearing what you said, the little guy caught a dead mouse this time, is he considered to have made a contribution?"

"What's the point of this? I never rub the sand in my eyes. The couplet in front of the King of Hell's door is well said. If you have the will to do good, you will not reward even if you have the good; if you have no intention to do evil, you will not punish even if you have the evil!"

"I don't agree with you, so how do you know if the little guy has already calculated this point!"

The old leader's eyebrows suddenly stood up: "If you are not in his position, you will not plan your own affairs. If you use small things to make big things, isn't it just Yao Guangxiao and others? I believe the little guy won't be like this!"

Chief Zhenhua smiled and said, "You are stingy and can't bear to give the reward, so you just say that the little guy did this good thing, either the left or the right!"

The old leader smiled and said, "Don't you think I don't know that that stupid boy did a lot of rash things. I won't talk about robbing girls from afar. At least they are in love with each other. The thing that is close is a taboo. He thinks he is doing is not yours. You should take care of him. It's better to have him! Besides, this stupid boy is still young and has not even married a wife. He is a very high-ranking official. Everyone on the side has objections to him this time Xiaoshan tax exemption. Don't you also want to vent his anger? He just hit him twenty-stop!"

Chief Zhenhua kept shook his head: "You are so unkind. If you don't reward your contributions, you will have to hit the top twenty boards. There is no reason!"

"Why is this not the reason? This is called not bothering the second master in one thing, and it is use of waste!"

"Hahaha……"

………………………………………

Nowadays, although it is not summer, the sun shines brightly and the temperature is not low.

Fang Laoshi put a washed blue cloth jacket on his shoulders, bent down and carried the last bag of soybeans, and swung his arms hard, and a bag of bean bags worth more than 80 kilograms onto the roof of the car.

"Shitou, Yadan'er, go and pay the grain tax with grandpa. After paying the debt from last year, I guess I can still have three or five yuan left. Then, grandpa will buy you meat buns and eat them!"

As he spoke, Fang Chen put the yellowed pull belt in front of the cart on his shoulders, held the handlebars with both hands, thrust his feet on the ground, and his thigh muscles were arched. A cart worth a thousand pounds was pulled forward by him.

"Grandpa, I don't eat meat buns. I miss school. How can Sister Hisense next door carry her schoolbag to school? Why can I only go to the fields with you every day?"

Fang Jiayadan'er is already eight years old, two years older than Shitou. She had studied for a few days, but just finished the first grade of elementary school, the Fang family was poor and had to drop out of school.

Nowadays, Yadan'er has dropped out of school for less than half a year, so she naturally thinks about her friends in the school.

When Fang Laoshi heard Yadan'er's words, he felt miserable. He had no girl's narrow concept of studying and losing money. However, his family was really embarrassed and worked hard to fill his stomach and support his two children to study. It was just a luxury, not to mention that the imperial grain owed to the county in previous years was not paid, so he would be better this year. In addition, he moved a monthly brick at the port with his eldest son and earned a fortune. Including this car of soybeans, he could barely pay off the debts that he had owed to over the years.

In fact, if it were in the past, Fang Huzhen would not have paid the debt so well, but now Xiao Shan is the head of Secretary Xue. In the words of the villagers, he owes other corrupt officials money, and even Secretary Xue's money, is that still an individual?

But it’s easy to pretend to be big, and the days after pretending to be big are gone. The idea of ​​originally planning to send two children to school before going to school seems to be able to strangle them to death for the time being.

Fang Chen refused to answer Yadan'er's words, and just kept pulling the cart. Yadan'er knew about going to school, and then she had no hope. At that moment, she felt bitter and wanted to cry. She only had ignorant stones. When she heard that there were meat buns to eat, she jumped up and down to cheer.

Under the blood-red sun, the three grandparents and grandchildren were staggering on the gravel road with difficulty.

Fang Laoshi almost bit his teeth, and Yadan'er and Shi Tou also made his face red. The three grandparents and grandsons used all their strength to finally drag the cart from the mud road to the stone road. Fang Laoshi breathed a long sigh and went onto the flat road. He felt completely relaxed. Then he thought that this was Secretary Xue's virtue again, and he couldn't help but praise the good lives of the people of Xiaoshan, and he had such a good official.

"Shitou, Yadan'er, take a break. Grandpa smokes a bag of cigarettes and puts you in the car and takes you to the grain management office one by one, so that you can also make a big cart!"

As he spoke, Fang Chen leaned on the car and pulled out the black-blue tobacco pole from his waist, knocked off the ashes on his shoes, stuffed a pot of self-planted tobacco leaves, rubbed them with flints, and started smoking beautifully.

Fang Laoshi had just sucked a few times, and Yadan'er, who was playing with stones behind the cart, suddenly jumped and shouted: "Teacher Wu, Teacher Wu..."

Fang Laoshi looked forward, but saw a 28 bicycle with a bang and a bang, riding fast on the gravel road. It was a young man in his early twenties. When he got close, Fang Laoshi recognized it. It was Teacher Wu, who was in his primary school in the township, who seemed to have taught Yadan'er's class.

"What is he doing here?" Fang Laoshi was suspicious. There were not many children who went to school in Murakami. Although he was confused, he met an acquaintance and a cultural person. Fang Laoshi was still happy to greet him: "It's Teacher Wu, where are you going?"

The man in the car heard a shout before, and when he got close, he slowed down. At this moment, he saw the three grandparents and grandchildren who stopped without the body of the car, turned over and got out of the car: "Uncle Fang, you are going to your village. What are you doing with these big bags? Did you hear the news and sell the stored grain quickly?"

Fang Laoshi didn't know what the news Mr. Wu said meant, and replied: "Isn't this owing some food and money in the county? This year, and there are more places for side jobs in the county. I want to pay back the money owed to the county. People in Qiaokou Village owed others money, but it would never be enough to ow Secretary Xue."

Obviously, Fang Hushi is happy that others know their motivation for selling grain.

Before he could think of Fang Huo-sin, Teacher Wu was shocked by disapproval: "What money should I pay?"

Fang said honestly: "Originally, my family was in trouble. Every year when the county collects agricultural tax, my family would pay a little, and owed a little. After more than ten years, I owed more than seventy yuan. Just this year, I worked on a side job with my eldest son and earned fifty or sixty. In addition, I am a good year. I plan to sell this car of newly harvested beans, so I just need to clear the county! Teacher Wu, I know what you are doing in the village. I'm going to say that this year, my village may not be able to do this year. Next year, no, in the second half of the year, the villagers will do a monthly side job in the port, and they will definitely send their children to school!"

Teacher Wu slapped his forehead: "God, Uncle Fang, what are you talking about? The county held a meeting yesterday the day before yesterday. Secretary Xue presided over the meeting and exempted the agricultural tax. Where else do you go to pay it? Even if you want to pay it, no one dares to collect it!"

"What did you say, exempt the agricultural tax?" Fang Laoshi's eyes were glaring in confusion, and the cigarette pipe in his mouth slid out of his lips. Finally, he waved his hand: "Secretary Xue is kind and righteous. No, he will be exempted this year. I will not have to make up for what I owe before? Anyway, I've pulled it here, so I can't pull it back again, lest it..."

Teacher Wu interrupted: "Uncle Fang, you don't understand what I mean yet. The county said that I don't want the agricultural tax I used to owe. In the future, we will never collect agricultural taxes again!"

"What's the thing?"

Fang Laoshi's intuition felt his brain buzzing, and his body was a little unstable. He barely held the handlebars and did not collapse.

Fang Laoshi was so shocked, no, he was stunned. He thought he was crazy, sometimes he thought Teacher Wu was crazy, sometimes he was wondering if Secretary Xue in the county was crazy? You said that like the emperor in the past, he would have been exempted from taxes for one or two years. He was grateful to the emperor for his gratitude, but the farmer did not pay taxes, and he was worried about what the officials would eat, and whether the world would be in chaos in the future...

"Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang..."

Teacher Wu saw that Fang Laoshi looked wrong, and pulled him on his arms and woke him up.

Fang Laoshi came to his senses and pulled Teacher Wu's clothes and said anxiously: "Teacher Wu, you are a cultural person. Tell me if Secretary Xue is afraid that we will farm if we are suffering. It is a good thing if we don't pay taxes. But the county officials have to eat and drink. What Secretary Xue can do to support them? Isn't they going to make Secretary Xue's rebellion? I said, Teacher Wu, hurry up and persuade Secretary Xue to take back this order. Life is much better now. Let's trousers and belts pass. Wait for Secretary Xue for another two years to keep us all generous..."

Teacher Wu really didn't expect that this party was honest to farm, but he was concerned about the Xiaoshan County Party Committee. "I said Uncle Fang, your number is really rare. But, please keep your heart in mind. The county has endless money. Last year, many foreign businessmen came to the county and spent a lot of money to buy the land in our port. The money is too much to use. Wait for a few years, the port will open, and our county will not have to worry about spending money. By the way, knowledge is also about power. Think about how many county magistrates in the county have accomplished such a big thing. Why did Secretary Xue come and our county is like the sesame seeds blooming in the flowering line, and it is everywhere. The answer is that Secretary Xue is a top student at Beijing University and a real cultural person!"

Teacher Wu explained clearly, Fang Laoshi was still confused, but finally figured out that even if he did not pay the tax, no one dared to commit Secretary Xue's rebellion.

Teacher Wu came today and took the school task. He came down to inform the children to go to school quickly, so he told everyone that the benefits of having knowledge are good, because some people are not that they can’t afford the tuition, but that they think that studying is useless.

At this moment, seeing Fang Laoshi keep silent, Teacher Wu continued: "Uncle Fang, since studying is a good thing, why don't you let your Yadaner and Shitou go to school? In the future, I will be as educated as Secretary Xue. Besides, if there are documents in the county and don't let children go to school, that is a violation of the law. Uncle Fang, do you read it?"
