Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 580

Chen Yang asked Director Lang, "You mean to ask, would I like to donate money to help Lao Du?"

Director Lang nodded.

"I do not want to."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.

I thought Chen Yang would be like last time, half of Du Zikun's house was burned down, and Chen Yang took the lead in donating generously.

Feng Qinqin asked, "Xiao Chen, why is that?"

"You know that I have money. To be honest, a few thousand yuan is nothing to me. However, it is the same as helping, but there is a difference. In our rural areas, there is a saying called "Three to help and three not to help."

Yu Xin asked: "Which three will help, and which three will not help?"

"Help strangers, help beggars, help outsiders. Don't help acquaintances, don't help lazy people, don't help relatives."

Janantang said: "I study customs, I have heard this saying, but I just don't understand the reason."

"Take Du Zikun as an example. From my point of view, it is a piece of mud that cannot be supported on a wall. If he wants to keep his own place and do his job honestly, then he is still an excellent person. But he He is worse than a fool if he wants to make a fuss about money."

Janantang nodded, "That's true, sometimes fame and fortune can't be had at the same time."

"There is a saying in our rural areas that helping the poor is not helping the poor. Last time we donated money for the fire, it was called emergency. This time, if we pool money to help him pay off his debts, it will be helping the poor."

Director Lang said: "I understand a little bit."

Chen Yang continued: "The last time Lao Du's house was repaired, the leader of his unit came to visit him. He said openly that I have some good neighbors, and they are the ones who give me help... Think about it, is there any problem?"

Yu Xin thought about it and said: "Show off, show off naked, naked. Take the help of others as your own glory."

Feng Qinqin said: "In this case, if we help him again this time, he will take it for granted and even consider it his honor."

Chen Yang said to Director Lang: "Don't help him this time, let him reflect and let him fully understand himself."

Jia Nantang said: "I have a question. If I don't help, can Du Zikun come back?"

Chen Yang smiled, "Isn't it just 4000 yuan? It's not a big deal. The other party is a collective enterprise, so there's no need to compete with Lao Du because of 4000 yuan. The police station won't keep Lao Du, and if they keep him, they will take care of him." He told him to live with him, the police station is not stupid."

Director Lang smiled and nodded, "Xiao Chen is right. After I go back, I will ask Lao Du to go through the formalities and write an IOU and let him go home. It's Chinese New Year, who wants to accompany a nerd."

Everyone got up and went home.

Janantang went and returned.

Feng Qinqin also left and returned.

Yu Xin also left and returned.

Chen Yang laughed, and took out two bottles of red wine and one jar of rice wine to entertain everyone.

On the first day of the new year, I can't sleep anyway, so it's better to drink and chat.

Teacher Liu and Mama Zhang also cooperated very well. Without Chen Yang's instructions, they took out part of the barbecue that Lu Feiyao gave, heated it, put it on a plate, and sent it to the main room to put it on the coffee table.

Before the wine was poured, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "It must be Lang Suo."

Yu Xin ran to open the door.

Sure enough, it was Director Lang.

"Haha...you want to leave me for drinking, but there is no door."

The wine in the middle of the night is also the wine on the first day of the new year, drinking it has a special taste.

Feng Qinqin said: "Let's not drink too much, there is still a party today."

It was only then that everyone remembered that there was such a thing.

Yu Xin asked: "Lao Lang, how many companies have signed up this year?"

"37 households. The other [-] or so households all went to other places to celebrate the New Year."

Feng Qinqin asked: "How many shows are there?"

"There are nineteen programs, three of which are choruses. All in all, 37 households have programs."

Chen Yang asked, "What programs are you guys on?"

Director Lang is a magician, and his grandfather is a magician in old Shanghai, and his shows are very popular every year.

Janantang is a cross talk, and his partner is his youngest son.

Feng Qinqin sang solo, "Heroes Hymn", accompanied by accordion.

Yu Xin is a chorus of male and female voices, and the female voice is his lover.

Chen Yang was worried about himself, "I don't know how to play literature and art. Let me perform martial arts, I don't know if I can please everyone."

Director Lang comforted: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will become a star at the party."

Yu Xin asked, "Lao Lang, what program did Lu Feiyao's family sign up for?"

Director Lang smiled and said, "You never would have imagined that Cheng Shanshan learned dance when she was young and was a professional actress. The program she signed up for this time seems to be Indian dance."

Chen Yang snorted, "It must be the dance in the movie "Song of the Vagabond"."

Yu Xin smiled and said, "Yes, yes. I am looking forward to Cheng Shanshan dancing."

Janantang smiled and said, "I don't respect the old, and I'm looking forward to it too."

Feng Qinqin asked Chen Yang, "Are you looking forward to it too?"

Chen Yang nodded and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Feng Qinqin scolded with a smile: "A bunch of stinky men."

Director Lang told Chen Yang, "Xiao Chen, Cheng Shanshan is Lao Yu's dream lover."

Chen Yang said, "Me too. Old Yu, what should I do?"

Yu Xin raised his wine glass, "Then let's drink away your worries and make your worries even worse."

A group of people drank like crazy until four o'clock in the morning.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Yang was still sleeping soundly in bed.

The two little guys are arguing and going to the Hutong party.

Chen Yang told Mr. Liu and Mrs. Zhang to go first and catch the noon meal by himself.

There will be food and drink at the party, and of course lunch is also provided.

Chen Yang was lazy and slept until 11:30 in the morning before getting up to brush his teeth and wash his face.

The weather on the first day of the Lunar New Year is good, the temperature is not low, and there is still the sun, but it is a pity that there is no sunshine in the alley.

The alley was very quiet. Chen Yang knew that everyone must have gone to the activity center.

Every doorway is decorated with lights.

It's strange, there is a family who is moving things out, and there are two large carts parked at the door.

Chen Yang didn't know him, so he walked past slowly, smoking a cigarette.

I would like to ask Jia Nantang about this matter, is there a custom of moving on the first day of the new year in all parts of the country?

As he walked, Chen Yang became suspicious.

These movers are not robbers and thieves, are they?

The law and order in this alley is usually good, and there are almost no petty thefts.

The precautions are also relatively strict. During the day, there are old men and women guarding, and at night, there are joint defense teams patrolling.

The police station is nearby, and people are sent to patrol from time to time.

It can be kept secret.

Today was an oversight.

All the families in the alley, adults and children, gathered in the activity center, except for Mr. Feng and his wife.

Chen Yang thought about it, stopped, turned around, leaned against the wall and lit another cigarette.

On the moving cart, a middle-aged man sat staring at Chen Yang.

Seeing Chen Yang stop and turn around, the middle-aged man smiled and waved at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang also smiled, and suddenly raised his hands high, making a handcuffed gesture.

The middle-aged man's expression changed suddenly, he jumped off the cart, and walked towards Chen Yang.
