The news of Fang Hong's return quickly spread in the village. It was not a big deal at first. The reason why it spread so quickly was because he drove a big Ben back to the village. Now everyone knows that the car may be worth millions.
.
For the villagers, this was undoubtedly an astronomical sum of money, and there were rumors that Fang Hong had made a fortune and became a big boss.
In short, the third child in Fang Zhenyuan’s family is going to be successful!
Today is the Lunar New Year, and everyone talked about Fang Hong’s affairs from time to time while eating the New Year’s Eve dinner. Several villagers had daughters waiting to be married, and they all quietly asked matchmakers to connect them and make introductions.
of.
Because everyone knows that Fang Hong is not married. The reason is that Fang Ping is not married, so Fang Hong is definitely not married. The folk custom in the countryside is that the oldest person gets married first.
…
The next day, Fang Hong and Fang Ping went to their grandfather Fang Chengde's residence together with a little girl carrying a bag of good health products for the elderly that Fang Hong had bought.
Fang Hong led the little Lolita and asked Fang Ping as they walked: "The old man still lives up there alone, and won't he move down and live together?"
"Sigh~, it's not like you don't know the old man's temper. He won't listen to anything he says, and we don't dare to disobey him. Talking about this matter gives the whole family a headache." Fang Ping shook his head helplessly.
Speaking of this, Fang Ping added with a sigh: "I also know why the old man is so stubborn. He is afraid that everyone will think that he is a burden and a burden, so he is so stubborn. He wants to prove that he is not a burden and prove himself.
If you are not old, you can be energetic and still be able to help fellow villagers, and you don’t need others to take care of you."
Fang Hong smiled and nodded without saying anything. What the second brother said may be one factor, but it must be more than one factor. Based on the memory of the original owner, Fang Hong concluded that the old man was a very high-ranking person. He was as wise as a fool and an elephant was invisible.
Generally speaking, if you don't know your rank, you won't be able to see this level.
The old man is 71 years old this year and has a very high prestige in the village. When he was only 15 years old, he joined the army to fight in Korea, and then participated in the Vietnam War. He had outstanding military exploits. In the era of great disarmament, he took the initiative to apply for disarmament. The old man
At that time, I was already carrying two bars and four stars on my shoulders. The next level up was to carry one star for the Golden Wheat Sui.
After retiring from the army, the old man did not let the state arrange job changes, but directly returned to his hometown and became a farmer.
The old man is willing to help others, and he is a person who really has the five words "serving the people" engraved in his bones. The villagers all respect him, and the old man's prestige in the village is unparalleled.
How high is his prestige? For example, the people in Fang Village have never had any so-called legal disputes. If two villagers really have a conflict and it becomes irreconcilable, the whole village will talk about it first.
Wait for a while and wait for Mr. De to come back and let him make a decision.
And after the old man makes a ruling, the villagers have to listen to it no matter what. No matter whether the old man's ruling is wrong or right, or whether it is unfair or not, they have to accept it.
The reason is actually very simple, because the villagers know that there will always be difficult times in the future and they will ask the old man for help. If they offend the old man, he will not help in the future.
At this time, Fang Hong said with a smile: "If the old man doesn't want to move down here, just follow his wishes. As long as he is not allowed to drive a walking tractor around at his age, and do other tasks like fetching water."
I'll get it done regularly and on time, don't let the old man do it by himself."
Fang Ping, who was walking side by side, nodded and said, "Two months ago, my father dug a well behind the house and installed a water pump. Water can be pumped out by pressing a button. The firewood and other things are also cracked and placed."
Fang Hong asked: "Don't burn briquettes?"
Fang Ping shook his head: "The old man said it was a waste of money. There are firewood everywhere in the mountains and he refuses to burn coal."
Fang Hong nodded: "It's good to burn firewood, lest he accidentally get carbon monoxide poisoning."
After a while, Fang Hong saw a tile-roofed house in front of him. The door was open. The little lolita Fang Shiyan trotted over with her things. Before she even entered the house, she shouted in a soft and cute voice: "Grandpa, you three."
Uncle is back!"
The two brothers also entered the house. When Fang Hong saw the old man in the house, he immediately smiled and said, "Old man, now that you have a great-granddaughter, your two grandchildren won't even look at each other in front of you?"
Fang Ping sat down on the long bench next to him and said with a smile: "They say they kiss each other in the next generation. Why don't we kiss each other even more in the next generation? Let us brothers accept the reality of falling out of favor."
Although the old man Fang Chengde is over 70 years old, he is very energetic and looks like he is in his early 60s. His body is actually very strong and he can even drive a walking tractor to the market.
After all, the foundation of a military life is laid out there.
"Yanyan, who bought you new clothes?" Fang Chengde asked Fang Shiyan kindly. Little Lolita turned to Fang Hong and said, "It's the third uncle. The third uncle also bought me a lot of things."
At this time, Fang Chengde turned to look at his two grandchildren, and cast his gaze on Fang Hong, and said nonchalantly: "You brat, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, and you caused trouble just after you came back?"
Fang Hong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was the original owner who loved to cause trouble, but he couldn't throw the blame away after inheriting everything from the original owner. Fang Hong said with a smile: "You have the nerve to call this little corner the Three Treasures Palace? I asked you to move in but you refused.
, no cow is as stubborn as you."
Hearing this, Fang Chengde suddenly scolded with a black face: "Your skin is itchy? You brat, you are so old that you come here to ask for a beating during the New Year?"
Fang Hong said with a smile: "Old man, San'er, I really have one thing that you can't handle. Don't worry, I didn't cause trouble with you. It's a good thing."
Fang Chengde said calmly: "Say."
Next, Fang Hong explained to the old man how he had made a lot of money by starting a technology company. The old man was very happy when he heard that his grandson had started a technology company and was engaged in technology research and development.
When the old man was fighting against American imperialism and Soviet revisionism, he was often exposed to nuclear blackmail. He knew that this was all caused by backward technology, so he was naturally very happy when he heard that Fang Hong had started a technology company.
At the end, Fang Hong said with a smile: "Old man, San'er has made a lot of money now. It is inevitable that relatives, friends and fellow villagers in need will come to ask for help. You have a high prestige. I would like to ask you, old man, to come forward to do these things."
"
Fang Hong's strategy is very simple. When faced with some people who are in trouble and come to ask for help, they all come to the old man and let the old man make the decision. Who dares to dissent?
The old man already has a very high prestige in the village. Having such a grandson behind him in the future means that the old man can provide real money and silver to support him, so the old man's prestige in the eyes of the villagers will only be higher.
Fang Hong continued: "...For example, who's family in the village is poorer, and whose family has a serious illness and can't afford to pay, old man, please go and give them some money to help them. The three of us can take care of the money problem. Come forward, you
Just come and decide.”
With this old man in front, relatives, friends and fellow villagers who are in trouble will not come to Fang Hong.
The old man has been willing to help others all his life because he has never forgotten the original intention of those five words, but he is definitely not stupid. Otherwise, how could he carry two bars and four stars on his shoulders before retreating?
In a social environment with acquaintances like the countryside, there is a set of operating logic of its own. The routine in the city often does not work in the countryside. For example, if you go through the judicial process, what can you do to an old man if you meet him?
Rural acquaintance society relies on prestige and "social death" to restrict everyone, because villagers are most afraid of being notorious in the village. In rural society, if a person is notorious, it means that he can hardly survive in the village, and he will not be able to live in the village.
Dare to commit crimes easily.
This is also why "bullying" is a major feature of rural acquaintance society. For example, when outsiders come to a village to plant crops on a large scale, they are robbed by the villagers. Because you are a "stranger", you don't have to worry about being bullied in the village.
If you die, don't worry about being infamous in the village.
In the eyes of the villagers, Fang Hong has made a fortune in other places. He will definitely encounter various relatives or villagers who are in trouble and come to visit him later. It doesn't matter if you help him or not. If you help him, he may take advantage of it. If you don't help, he may take advantage of it.
He said you were rich and unkind.
Whether to help or not, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to the old man who has a very high prestige in the village. Let the old man make the decision. With the old man's prestige, who dares to disobey his decision? Who dares to deny it?
In this way, Fang Hong can save himself worry and effort. He only needs to pay and don't have to worry about the rest. The villagers or relatives will not come to him. Even if they come to him, Fang Hong will directly nod and say no problem, and then backtrack.
Just tell him to go find the old man. The old man makes the decision on this matter, and I can't make the decision.
In this way, the problem is perfectly solved. It can not only help those villagers or relatives in need who really need help, but also avoid some people who are trying to push their limits. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Regarding Fang Hong's request, the old man readily nodded and agreed.
