Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 350 The reason
There was a younger yamen servant who responded quickly. Hearing Song Nian's question, he squeezed closer to his side and began to translate at the same time.

First, the old woman with the mole on her mouth thought that the old woman wearing a headscarf deliberately pissed her off with her butt, so she didn't pick the biggest potato.

Then the turbaned person felt that the other party was deliberately finding fault. The evidence is: when the two villages were fighting for water last year, the son with the mole on the mouth beat the turbaned son. Afterwards, the turban and the mole on the mouth asked for a basket of eggs. up.

This is not over yet, and the memory of moles on the mouth is also very good. I found out what happened more than ten years ago:

It is said that the son with the turban snatched the firewood from the son with the mole while chopping firewood. Since then, the two sons have been having conflicts, which led to the son with the mole beating the son with the turban when he was fighting for water a year ago...

Sounds like a tongue twister, but that's a simplified version.In fact, there are all kinds of miscellaneous small conflicts, such as fighting over a handful of wild vegetables and knocking over a load of water, snatching a seat in a bullock cart, saying something bad when I saw my daughter-in-law, etc...

The two villages are very close to each other, and there are many kinship relations, but there are also many contradictions.

The main contradiction is the contradiction in resources.

There are not many mountains here, not many trees, and the climate is not good. In winter, it can be as cold as minus ten or twenty degrees. This is not a large-scale promotion of cotton planting. With modern heating and air conditioning, minus ten degrees is enough. It's freezing to death.

Therefore, in the face of such survival needs, grabbing firewood can really make enemies.

And most importantly, water.

Spring plowing has always been the key period for grabbing water. The two villages share a river, and the river is not abundant. You use more and I use less. When it comes to harvest, that is, your family can eat half-dried rice. Can eat porridge.

Otherwise, we have to fight for priority through the whole village.

This kind of contradiction is so genuinely revealed in the seemingly funny scolding between the two old ladies.

Looking at the other villagers who were standing at the two ends, they seemed to be fighting for the villagers in the next second.

It can be seen that similar contradictions are not a special case of one or two companies, but the consensus of many people.

Sometimes magnanimity and tolerance can only show similar virtues when you have more than enough.

At least for now, the villagers don't think there is anything wrong with the two old women's quarrel. Firewood is of course important, but water is even more important. Even a handful of wild vegetables is not easy to let go.

It was obvious that Song Ce could understand it, so he stood aside awkwardly and tried to stop it, but he didn't really forcefully tell who was right and who was wrong.

Can you tell which is right and which is wrong?

Song Yun thought about the breakfast he ate in the morning, which consisted of meat, vegetables, and refined grains. He felt a little guilty, but he felt shameful and thankful again. Fortunately, the luck of this reincarnation was not bad.

Like the living conditions of these people...

What is there to say?

"Whether the policy is good or not depends on whether the villagers laugh or cry."

Nowadays, people are so angry about a basket of firewood and a few buckets of water. In the final analysis, life is still difficult.

How can I say another word?

"Let the common people live a better life is the starting point and the end point of all our work."

If the people are having a hard time, it means that the government has not done a good job in its work.

Song Nian also understood that the fight was still for food and clothing.

He already knew something about this situation when he went to the countryside, but at that time, when facing a group of unfamiliar people with different identities, many farmers would not explain it so clearly, but covered it up with survival wisdom. .

Facing the situation now, Song Nian certainly wanted to hear more and learn more about it, but considering that it would be easy to get out of control if the quarrel continued, it would destroy the situation that Song Ce had finally managed to control. A very important matter has not been dealt with, so Song Nian coughed lightly, and glanced at the clever young yamen servant beside him.

The young yamen servant was taken aback by this look, wondering if it meant what he thought, and then asked carefully with some surprise and excitement:
"Then I'm going to stop it?"

Leader Wen didn't say much all the way, and it was only at this moment that he kept saying as if he had just woken up from a dream:
"I come, I come, I come"

"No, just let him go, give young people more opportunities to exercise."

Song Nian pointed to the young yamen servant, and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, re-recording the other person's name and face, and no longer regarded him as one of his vague-faced subordinates.

Leader Wen also looked over, to be precise, stared.

The young yamen servant is not afraid of him, although the other party is indeed his boss, but considering the special nature of their job——

It's been passed down from generation to generation in the family.

Grandparents have been in the system for generations, and you are more arrogant than me now, but it does not mean that your father was more arrogant than my father back then, nor does it mean that you will be more arrogant than me in the future.

The ups and downs are due to the connections the family has cultivated for many years, and most importantly - the leader's preference.

Zhou Li, oh, is also a young yamen servant. He felt that his uncle was also the top leader of the yamen servants back then, that is, his father was a little bit worse, which made the Wen family take the lead. But now the times have changed.

Then Zhou Li arrogantly picked two yamen servants who were similar in age and had a good relationship with him, and three or five of them went to the scene of the quarrel together, ready to stop the conflict.

They didn't need to stop them, as soon as the soap boots came to a stop on the ground, the people around them automatically lowered the volume, and then someone looked along where they came from, and saw Song Nian and his party not far away.

He leaned over for a while, inquired about his identity in a low voice, and soon followed suit.

In fact, Song Nian was no stranger to them, he was someone who had visited every village.

But at that time Song Nian was in casual clothes, with his wife and children by his side, sitting on the big rock at the head of the village, he could wrap his fingers around the blades of grass and chat casually.

Now that he was wearing the official uniform and the official hat on his head, he looked very imposing. The villagers who happened to chat with Song Nian before didn't say anything, and they were about to kneel down smoothly.

Zhou Li is quite clever, he knows that these grown-ups, don't care what they think, what they do is not as straightforward as the government servants like them.

If they want to enjoy privileges, they really enjoy it. If they want to show off their good tea and houses to the people, they are really showing off.

But the grown-ups don’t necessarily have to, just like the previous county magistrate, he said at the beginning that he should have fun with the people during the New Year, but later it was not too much.

Zhou Li didn't quite understand whether Song Nian was sincere or fake, and how long he could pretend to be fake. He just keenly felt that for now, Master Song definitely didn't want to see these rural people cowering and kneeling on the ground.

So he adjusted his attitude to the best since he was in the profession, and said loudly:

"Don't kneel, everyone, get up, old lady, look at you, I told you not to kneel,"

When I had a mole on my mouth, I jumped up and down happily when I was arguing, but now my legs are shaking a little.

She was the one who was unlucky. At that time, half of the village went to watch the "distinguished guests". She happened to be at home and counted the eggs hidden under the bed, trying to plan a plan that would not only make her grandson eat more, but also make her happy. A way for married daughters to make up for both bodies.

In short, this was the first time she saw so many grown-ups, her legs trembled when she knelt down, and now that Zhou Li yelled at her like that, she couldn't stand up when she was in a hurry.

It was Baotou who extended a helping hand, and pulled his old enemy up while curling his lips.

Finally, everyone stood up staggeringly, and even patted the dirt on their knees carefully. Song Nian also came over and made a speech:
