From Xiao Chen's point of view, the money for selling the joss sticks in the temple was already very profitable. Now, it is unforgivable that they still rely on this method to defraud money.
Now that this matter has been settled, Xiao Chen is ready to return to Xiaojiacun with the two women and Widow Wang.
Xiao Chen and the three girls left the town streets and headed back towards Xiaojiacun.
When we returned to Xiaojiacun over the mountains and ridges, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
"Xiao Chen, I'm going back first. Miss Tang and Miss Mo, please come to my house to play when you have time." Widow Wang looked at the three people and said.
In fact, after spending the past three days together, Widow Wang felt that Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan were pretty good.
"Sister Wang, I will treat your illness tomorrow."
As the saying goes, there are many disputes in front of the widow, but Xiao Chen is not afraid of what others will say.
However, after walking for such a long time today, Xiao Chen still went back first.
Xiao Chen, Tang Bing, and Mo Xiaowan went to the back village of Xiaojia Village. When they saw the building where the master and his wife lived, Xiao Chen shouted: "Master, I'm back."
Xiao Chen went there for three days.
Of course, Xiao Chen wanted to solve the problem of the fairy water.
Seeing Xiao Chen coming back, the teacher's wife asked: "Xiao Chen, why did it take so long to come back?"
"Master Wife, this is not because of the temple. It has been solved."
solved?
The teacher's wife couldn't believe it.
"Those monks are fake, the fairy water is fake, and the tall Buddha statue is also fake. They are all fake. I have already gone to solve the problem."
"So that's it. I heard someone died."
"There was a stampede yesterday. Several people died and more than a dozen were injured."
"That's really a sin!" said Mrs. Xiao Chen.
I don’t know what to say to this Xiao Chen.
"Then you guys must not have had dinner yet. I'm going to make dinner." When Xiao Chen's wife was making dinner, Xiao Chen gave her the meat and vegetables he bought in town, and Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan went over to help.
When Master Xiao Chen saw these three people coming back, he knew it must have been solved.
"Master, I want the village chief to buy two pigs to kill for the villagers to celebrate the New Year."
Killing a pig to celebrate the new year?
This is a custom in many places.
It's just that Xiaojiacun is so poor that many people only eat pork once a week.
"Just do whatever you want." Master Xiao Chen said.
"Then I'll go find the village chief to discuss it."
Xiao Chen left home and went to the village chief's house.
Originally, according to Xiao Chen's intention, a tunnel was dug and a cement road was opened directly to the town. The scenery of Xiaojia Village would definitely make the villagers of Xiaojia Village rich soon.
However, Xiao Chen's master and wife now do not recommend doing that.
Therefore, Xiao Chen felt that since he did not do anything, he would definitely take care of the lonely elderly people in the village. Let them all move to nursing homes in small towns outside. Xiao Chen spent money to take care of them, which can be regarded as a gift to these villagers.
One confessed.
Now I spend money to buy two pigs, kill them and distribute them to the villagers, which can be regarded as a good year.
The village chief of Xiaojia Village is over seventy years old and has been the village chief for more than ten years. Because Xiaojia Village has little luck, these villagers don't care who becomes the village chief.
Xiao Chen came to the village chief's door and patted the wooden door.
Not long after, it was the village chief's wife, an old woman, who opened the door.
"Isn't this the little miracle doctor?"
"Grandma, it's me. Is the village chief at home?"
"at home."
Xiao Chen went inside and saw village chief Xiao smoking a cigarette, which was made from homemade tobacco. The village chief's sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren had all come back to celebrate the New Year.
It looks like the whole family is enjoying themselves and is very nice.
However, anyone who goes outside knows that there are telephones and Internet access outside, but when they come back here, young people cannot stay at all. There is no signal and they cannot make calls. Without Internet access, it is definitely impossible to access the Internet. Even if you have a mobile phone in Xiaojia Village,
It's of no use.
Seeing Xiao Chen coming, the wrinkled village chief already recognized him.
Isn't this Xiao Chen, Xiao Xiao's miracle doctor?
"Little miracle doctor, why are you here?" Village Chief Xiao asked.
"Village Chief, I have something to discuss with you."
"Anything to discuss?"
"I don't know what's going on?" the village chief asked.
"Village chief, does anyone raise pigs in our village?"
"Yes, but not much."
"I want to buy some pigs for the New Year."
How many pigs celebrate the New Year?
Can Xiao Chen and his master and his wife eat so much?
"It's not for me, my master, my wife, and the others to eat it. I'm going to kill it and share it with the villagers for the New Year."
So that’s it.
This little miracle doctor Xiao is also very kind to the villagers.
After all, a pig costs one or two thousand.
"you sure?"
"Yes, I see that many villagers are not living very well, so I plan to distribute pork to them for the New Year to make everyone happy."
"What time will it take?" the village chief asked.
Worrying not about scarcity but about inequality, for these villagers, that's how it is. Either everyone is living a bad life, and if one family is living a good life, they may feel uncomfortable or jealous.
And it's even more like that when dividing things.
"Let's divide it according to the head. It's the same for adults, children and old people. Except for leaving half of the head for my master and my wife, the rest will be divided."
"How many heads are you going to buy?" the village chief asked again.
“Buy whatever is available in the village.”
"Little miracle doctor, just wait, I will help you find a fat pig immediately."
Talk to Village Chief Xiao.
Xiao Chen left the village chief's house and went back to his master's wife. The master's wife was still cooking dinner there because she brought back a lot of meat and vegetables from the town. It can be said that she made more abundant food this time.
After Master Xiao Chen and Tang Bing finished cooking, when the five of them sat down to eat dinner, Xiao Chen found that Master and Master had always been eating pickles and bacon, and didn't seem to eat much else.
"Master's Wife, I just went to the village chief to buy all the pigs raised by the villagers in the village, kill them and distribute them to the villagers for the New Year."
"Not bad." said the master's wife.
While the five people were eating there, they saw the village chief coming with a flashlight.
This flashlight must be powered by batteries, because there is no electricity in the village to charge it for you.
"Little miracle doctor, you are eating!"
"The village chief is here, and we just want to sit down and eat together." Master Xiao Chen said.
When the mistress went over and brought a chair for the village chief to sit on, the village chief said sheepishly: "Then I'll sit down and eat too."
Just now, the village chief has inquired clearly. There are six pigs in the village, two black pigs, which weigh more than 100 kilograms each, and four white pigs, which weigh more than 200 kilograms each.
According to the market price, it is directly weighed at ten yuan per catty.
"Village chief, if the weight is less than 200 pounds, it will be calculated as 200 pounds. If it is less than 300 pounds, it will be counted as 300 pounds."
"Little miracle doctor, I'm so sorry." the village chief said.
"This little money is nothing."
How could Xiao Chen care about this?
Here in Xiaojia Village, these villagers don't have much income at all, and it's not easy to raise a pig.
