Chapter 172: What to enjoy? How long to enjoy?
Just when An Songyu and his friends were feeling bored and were preparing to secretly find a place to chat.
A villager from Jiangcun, who lived not far from their house, suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"Jianguo, I remember that your companies started not much later than the village collective company!"
“The village collective’s company is already making money.”
"What about your company? You've made a lot of money, right?"
When the people nearby heard this, they all looked over immediately.
Even those who were originally discussing the topic lively shut up immediately.
This situation also affects other people around.
So within a very short period of time, all the people around An Songyu fell silent.
An Jianguo frowned slightly and looked at the reactions of the people around him.
He knew that today, no matter what the punishment was for the prodigal sons in the village.
However, the village committee repeatedly pulled their family out and set them up as positive examples for study.
This made many people in the village feel uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, he did not answer the question directly, but asked in return:
"So how is your family doing now?"
"What do you mean, how is our family now? What else can it be? It's just like this!" The person asking the question smiled self-deprecatingly.
Then, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the voice became louder:
"Didn't everyone just hear that there are two prodigal sons in my family? Not to mention them themselves, even we, the elders, have been accused of not teaching our children and grandchildren well!"
"This guy really needs to be taught!" An Jianguo nodded in agreement with his words!
"If you don't teach well, it won't just be a problem for your children and grandchildren."
But what he said caused some outrage among the crowd.
Originally, many villagers were dissatisfied with the village committee's punishment of the villagers.
But before the village committee punished everyone.
I have already discussed this with the elders of each family.
So even if everyone is unhappy, they can only curse in private under the pressure of their elders.
But now, An Jianguo eliminated everyone again in front of everyone.
Among all the people present, who doesn't have a prodigal son in his family? How could anyone tolerate this?
However, before the people in the crowd could react.
An Jianguo changed the subject again: "As for the matter of my company..."
Hearing what he said, several people in the crowd with gloomy faces who were about to stand up could not help but pause slightly.
Then there are people nearby who want to hear more about this, some whispering advice, some pulling.
For a moment, the surroundings of An Songyu's family returned to the state they were in before.
"Strictly speaking, although it is called a company, in reality, it is more of a way to find something for our family and our brothers who have lost their way to make a living."
An Jianguo said this with some emotion.
I couldn't help but think of their original idea when they set up these companies as if by chance.
But some people in Jiangcun believed what he said, while others did not.
Some people listened thoughtfully.
Some people burst into laughter when they heard it.
Some people even said directly: "Brother Jianguo, you are so polite!"
"When the houses were demolished, your family of brothers had the most residential land in the village."
"Not to mention anything else, just the houses we will be allocated in the future will be among the best in our entire village."
"That's it, and you still have to worry about supporting your family?"
"With those houses, not only your generation, but also your sons and grandsons won't have to worry about supporting their families."
"So, what should we do?" An Jianguo looked at the person who had just spoken and asked.
He was actually one of the people punished by the village committee this time.
He is also a rare middle-aged man who has not been implicated by his children and grandchildren.
One of the most unworthy people.
But he was not like those gamblers or those who went to gambling venues.
Either you lose everything, or you bring harm to others.
It’s just… after the demolition, I received a huge sum of money and I just wanted to enjoy life.
It’s just that his way of enjoying himself is not so legitimate.
That man was stared at like this by An Jianguo.
Not only did the man not flinch at all, but he said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm going to enjoy it!"
"Think about it, we have worked hard for most of our lives!"
"What did you enjoy?"
"When we were young, we worked so hard that we couldn't even fill our stomachs."
"When we finally have enough food to eat, we still have to build a house for the whole family, so we won't have a penny left in our pockets, right?"
"Not to mention that it's spent on myself."
"The old man has a good eye. He finally let us encounter the demolition. Why don't we enjoy it? What are we waiting for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in Jiangcun started to make a fuss.
Even those who had not been paying attention to them stopped chatting and looked over.
An Jianguo couldn't deny the other party's reasoning.
He smiled and nodded, then asked:
"So what are you going to enjoy? How long will it take?"
"What are you enjoying?" The man's eyes rolled around for a long time, but in the end he didn't say what was in his heart.
After all, the people from the village committee have left.
But the elders of each family are still here!
The troubles he had been going through in the past few months were not serious.
At most, the number of gambling activities you participate in is a little more.
What you did was a little bit inappropriate.
But whether he was gambling or buying horses, he always knew what was going on.
There are winners and losers!
The village committee can only say that he brought about a bad atmosphere.
He was directly fined one quarter of the village’s collective income.
and penalties for delayed payment of second quarter dividends.
Among the group of people who were punished, his punishment was naturally not the heaviest.
But it’s not the lightest.
Therefore, none of his current ways of enjoying himself could be openly mentioned in front of everyone.
He is not stupid.
The village collective’s income comes from the village collective company established in the name of the entire village.
Only the villagers of Jiangcun can enjoy one share each!
Even according to the regulations, the income of villagers who are punished like them will not be directly deducted.
Instead, it will become the collective income of the village and be used for further investment and redistribution.
But that is also his own right.
How could he give up just for a little bit of enjoyment?
An Jianguo looked at him for a long time without answering, and did not seem to want to urge him.
He just looked at the people in Jiangcun around him one by one, then said with a slight sigh:
“I don’t know what everyone thinks!”
"To be honest, even now, I am still a little confused about what kind of life I will live in the future."
"Just like what he said just now, at our age, there are even peers and elders who are older than us."
“Who hasn’t had a hard time?”
"Now that Jiangcun has been demolished and we have been compensated with houses and money, why can't we enjoy our lives?"
"But how are we supposed to enjoy it?"
"Go enjoy something?"
"How long will you enjoy it?"
