Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 7904

Changping Village.

Yang Huazhong invited several village elders to come over that night to discuss the matter of the tomb in the mountain that hadn't been cleaned.

The village elders are no longer the same as the original ones, and the original few basically have their own tombs, and the grass on the graves is already tall.

Today's village elders are "promoted" from behind, and they speak according to their age.

Of course, if it really depends on age, Lao Yangtou and Jiangtou are the number one and second place in the village.

It's just that these two old men are not interested in being village elders, so although the few promoted later are also in their sixties, they are still younger brothers in front of Old Yang.

So when these old men were invited by Yang Huazhong to come to their house to discuss about the tomb, no one dared to put on airs.

They first collectively condemned the descendants of the owner of the grave, and then began to recall the relevant situation of the grave.

In the end, several village elders each used their age advantages and experience, and used various investigation methods, but they couldn't figure out whose grave it was and who was buried in it!

Yang Huazhong pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Since the uncles are not clear, I will post a notice in the village tomorrow to tell the villagers about it."

"By the way, please trouble a few uncles to spread the news. Maybe it belongs to someone in the neighboring village."

Several village elders said hello again and again.

Just as the show was about to end, Old Yang, who had been sitting there smoking a pipe and sitting in the auditorium, suddenly made a sound.

"It's true for you guys, just take two ears to listen to what the third child said, and dare to say that you don't understand?"

The old man's tiger eyes glanced at the several 'brothers' village elders present one by one.

"Students pay attention to a word, that everything must be done by yourself. If I bear the title of village elder like you guys, enjoy the offerings in the village every year, and can run and walk with my arms and legs, I will definitely go up to the mountain to see what's going on. Tell me if I know this sentence!"

Several village elders drooped their heads after being taught by Old Yang, their faces full of shame.

Occasionally, a few of them secretly exchanged glances, and they must be dissatisfied with Lao Yangtou's straightforward words, but due to Lao Yangtou's age, Yang Huazhong's upright status, and the influence of Lao Yang's family and the Luo family These village elders dare not refute it face to face.

The village elder in the lead said to Old Yang with a smile on his face, "Brother Yang is right. To be on the safe side, let's go to the mountains tomorrow. I'll go. Who else will go with you?"

He was the first to raise his hand and looked at the others with a smile.

The village elder who had made eye contact with him earlier also immediately raised his hand, "I'll go too."

The remaining three village elders looked at me and I looked at you, and they all raised their hands in the end.

Seeing this, Old Yangtou snorted, and said in a earnest tone, "That's right. As a village elder, you must set an example for the younger generations, otherwise they will not accept you!"

Several village elders smiled and nodded in agreement.

Old Yang turned his head and said to Yang Huazhong, "Tell Yongjin and the others to lead the way tomorrow."

Yang Huazhong nodded, "Okay!"

After discussing things, several village elders left one after another.

A few of them walked out of the yard of Yang Huazhong's house, walked across the pond and dam on the main road, and arrived under the old maple tree.

The footsteps of the five slowed down tacitly, and the village elder who was the first to express his opinion earlier broke the calm.

"Brother Yang speaks too directly, and doesn't give us face at all."

The second village elder who expressed his opinion also immediately followed up and said: "When we were taught a lesson, there was a set of principles. I respect him for being older than us, and I don't want to expose his scandals a few years ago!"

The remaining three village elders looked at each other, and one of them smiled: "Why do you two do this? Before you rushed to express your opinion in front of others, and complained as soon as you left the house, can this relieve your anger?"

The village elder who spoke first squinted his eyes, stroked his beard and looked at the village elder who spoke.

The second village elder blushed, stared at the man who spoke, and said, "What do you mean? Isn't this something our brothers complained in private? Are you so yin and yang?"

The village old man snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and looked unafraid: "Duplicate villain! If you want to lick you, keep lying on your stomach and don't get up, don't jump up and bite people as soon as the dog's leash is loose!"

"What did you say? Can you say it again if you have the ability?" The second village elder rolled up his sleeves and pretended to fight.

He was stopped by the first village elder.

And the remaining two people hurriedly dragged the other party aside to persuade them.

After the two sides separated, the other three left first, leaving two village elders under the old maple tree.

"Brother, what did you stop me from doing earlier? Let me teach that old boy a lesson. He has been bumping against his family's fields since he was young. He is very bad!"

"Second, why are you fighting? We are village elders, respected and respected old men in the village, and people make fun of us when we get into fights!"

"Village elders are human beings too, so they can't be wronged like that!" said the second child.

"Hey, what are you fighting for? Your family has only one son, and the family has three sons. You are the one who really suffers in a fight!" said the leader of the village elder.

Seeing the other party stamping their feet, the leader of the village elder patted the other party on the shoulder and said: "As a village elder, I can get thirty catties of rice and two catties of rapeseed oil subsidies from the village every year."

"If you lost your virtue in a fight and caused bad influence in the village and lost the position of village elder, how much would you lose?"

There are also some hidden incomes. The head village elder did not tell the second village elder in detail, but the other party knows it well.

In the village, tasks such as dividing fields and land, opening up mountains and opening up wasteland, corvee taxation and so on are divided from the top layer by layer, and when they fall to the village, the power is in the hands of Lizheng.

Several village elders assisted Lizheng in handling village affairs, and the suggestions of the village elders could also have a certain influence on Lizheng, which in turn involved the arrangement and decision of many things.

So there are some people in the village who don't dare to ask Yang Huazhong for something, so they talk to the village elders in private.

Dry shredded tobacco, shochu, half a catty of pork belly, a few eggs, two catties of red beans, peanuts and sweet potato flour are all the things that villagers often take when looking for someone to do errands.

Some families want to protect their children as matchmakers, and they usually choose a few village elders who have longevity and are highly respected, so that they can save face.

Lucky money, tobacco, alcohol, snacks, and even clothes and fabrics will also be given away, and these things are indispensable for daily eating and drinking.

Especially in a big village like Changping Village, there are many people, and there are only five village elders, so the position of village elders is very lucrative.

"Hey, stop beating, stop beating, that old boy has long wanted to squeeze me out so that he can bring in his in-laws to be the village elders. I'm not stupid, so I won't give him that chance!"

A turmoil related to the elders in the village subsided silently.

At this time, in Yang Huazhong's family, Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong's father and son had not yet separated, and the father and son were puffing and puffing clouds face to face, and the room was filled with the smell of smoke, as if they were about to become immortals.
