After hearing what I said, he seemed to be greatly encouraged. He hugged me excitedly and buried his head in my neck. He didn't say a word for a long time, but I could feel his mood.
Joy, excitement, gratitude...
After that, Pei Qingshan went to the commune, and the re-election of the team cadres expired, so a new election was needed. Of course, I ran for team leader without saying a word.
But there was a small accident this time. Someone wrote Pei Yuanzheng's name on the election list. You have to know that he has been very famous in the village in the past two years, and many people's families have people working in his place, so it is obvious who he will choose.
I could only sigh in my heart. It seemed that I had missed the position of captain again this time, and I didn't know if there would be any turning point.
That night, when I had settled the whole family down and was getting ready to go to bed, Pei Yuanzheng and his wife came to visit unexpectedly.
They came here just for the election. Pei Yuanzheng said frankly that he was not interested in the position of captain. His future was in the business world. What he longed for was to travel around the country and spread his business empire across the country.
So if I was elected as the team leader, it would not only not be what he wanted, but it would also hold him back. He told me that on the day of the election, everyone around him would write my name, hoping that I would not give up directly.
He said so, what reason do I have to give up? I can only tell her with a smile that I, Liu Ping, am not a person who loves to give up. He has called me Sister Ping for so many years, doesn't he know what kind of person I am?
At the end of the conversation, I didn't say anything after he told me that incident. Instead, Ruan Niannian told me a lot.
There is one sentence that I remember very clearly. She said, to put it bluntly, life is actually like a rape. If you are destined to be unable to resist, you might as well enjoy it and let yourself get hurt less.
My life? Enjoy it?
Perhaps she noticed something, and she talked to me a lot in bits and pieces. Her purpose was not stated directly, but it was enough to make me think for a long time.
How can we say that we are enjoying life?
Afterwards, she left me this sentence: "Don't be sad, don't waste your energy, don't be contradictory, don't be irrational, I hope you understand."
I understand the rest, but the last one is irrational. Is she serious? How can a person be irrational? Being irrational will only lead to mistakes and an irreversible ending.
I smiled bitterly, not understanding what this irrational thing meant. Was she wrong, or did I not understand it?
What I didn’t know was that Nannan had heard our conversation that day. The next day, she pulled me aside and said she had something to tell me.
She is very close to me now, and we can talk about anything like friends. Although she sometimes doesn't treat me as an elder, I try to be more tolerant of her if I can.
Nannan said to me, "I know what Teacher Ruan meant. She said that emotions are irrational. If you keep your head in your head all the time, you won't be able to integrate into our family. Dad loves you and can tolerate you, but me, my brother, and my great grandfather can feel that you are truly doing this for our own good. But for you, it's not family affection for us, it's more of a sense of responsibility. When you experience the irrationality that Teacher Ruan talked about in us, you'll know what true family affection is."
There are things that even my daughter understands, but I can’t comprehend them, which makes me feel like I’m emotionally deficient.
Watching her leaving, I sighed and laughed. I really couldn't understand it very well.
Later on, at work, I occasionally encountered some things that made me experience what "irrationality" is many times.
After becoming the team leader, he once had to deal with a bride price dispute among the villagers.
There was a woman in our second team who was particularly fond of gambling. She would often hang out with a group of men in small gambling houses run by villagers, and she would play cards very well.
Later, she was spotted by a man from the third team. It happened that the woman had gambled away all the money in her family. The man said he would give her 300 yuan as a betrothal gift. She immediately promised that she would never gamble again and would go home with him to live a good life.
The man's family was actually of average financial status and they simply could not afford a dowry of 300 yuan. They had to scrape together the money from relatives, and then when the woman got married, they would bring the dowry back and have to return it.
But the three hundred yuan was asked by the girl's parents, and if you don't give it, don't even think about marrying their daughter.
We have seen a lot and we all know that this is a case of selling a daughter, so if we can get back one hundred out of the three hundred yuan, it would be considered good.
But this kind of situation where both parties are willing to fight and be beaten, not to mention that we are just in the team, even the king of heaven cannot interfere.
But because of this bride price issue, something went wrong.
After the woman received the betrothal gift, she did not respond to how much she should take back, nor did she determine the date of the wedding. The man became a little anxious and went to the woman's house to ask for an explanation, asking the woman's parents whether they had any intention of getting married. If not, he would return the betrothal gift.
Unexpectedly, the girl's parents hesitated and couldn't utter a complete sentence. It was obvious from their looks that something had happened, either the money was gone or the person was gone.
It would be fine if the person was gone, they could just return the betrothal gift, but looking at their embarrassed looks, it was obvious that they had lost the money.
Three hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. Where did the money go?
Just as they were arguing, the drunk woman was carried back by two men. It was still early in the morning, and no one knew where she had gone to drink so much. It was obvious that she had not returned home the night before.
The man was furious and demanded an explanation from the girl's parents.
