Chapter 58: Beam Raising Wang
Yuanchao didn't have much idea about Lin Laoer's rank.
After all, Wang Yuanchao's current plan is to take refuge in the Red Flag Brigade. After these eleven years, Wang Yuanchao will only be 27 years old. By then, it will be the time for Wang Yuanchao to stand out and achieve success . As for Lin Laoer, Wang Yuanchao only showed some kindness casually.
After all, the soldiers of this era wore green uniforms, red collar badges, half-stanced, and held their guns at an angle. They were the strongest generation of individual soldiers.
Lin Lao Er was able to serve in such an army and perform such a mission, and he was able to win the third-class merit and come back unscathed.
It was obvious that Lin Lao Er was not the cowardly person that everyone saw now, crushed by filial piety and public opinion in the village. Besides, Wang Yuanchao was just a risky investment anyway, which was neither troublesome nor time-consuming. He could just give him some small talk and say a few nice words.
Only a fool would not do this if he could get such a big favor.
As long as Lin Lao Er doesn't die and stays in the army for more than ten years, he will have a lot of power by then, and he can be considered a strong supporter of Wang Yuanchao.
Now, just be more patient and show some kindness. Wang Yuanchao is patient and can wait.
After arriving at his own yard, Hu Zhengwu, along with a group of villagers and several aunts who were building houses, had already started working on the construction site.
Wang Yuanchao brought Lin Laoer's family and handed the firecrackers in his hand to Hu Zhengwu, who hung them up with two bamboo poles at the gate. Under the guidance of Hu Zhengwu, Wang Yuanchao stepped on the wooden ladder and climbed onto the roof.
After 9 o'clock in the morning, Hu Zhengwu lit two firecrackers at the gate.
The children and aunties in the village began to flock to Wang Yuanchao's yard.
Wang Yuanchao sat on the highest beam at the top of the house. When he saw the dolls, he was happy and scattered candies and peanuts.
For a moment, in Wang Yuanchao's yard, children of all ages were chasing each other madly, and it was very lively.
"Wang Zhiqing, please scatter a little more. There are many children in our village. Please scatter a little more."
"Hey, okay, everyone, look, here comes the candy."
"Ah~ Mine, the candy is mine."
"Hoohoo~ Haha, I got it. I got this candy."
"Everyone, pay attention. Peanut is coming. Everyone, watch out."
The children in the yard heard Wang Yuanchao's shout and raised their heads to watch his movements.
As Wang Yuanchao grabbed three handfuls of peanuts and scattered them on the ground, the children instantly scattered and began to look for peanuts in the yard.
"Tsk tsk tsk ~ Wang Zhiqing sprinkled a lot of candies and peanuts, right?"
"Yes, it's a lot. Wang Zhiqing's family is so well off, with a house and bicycles. Look at the bag in Wang Zhiqing's hand, there must be a lot of candies and peanuts in it. He's really generous."
"Hey, you don't know this, right? Wang Zhiqing is the orphan of a martyr, and the state gives him a subsidy every month.
Given his circumstances, if he had not actively supported the national policy and signed up to go to the countryside, he would not have needed to go to the countryside as an educated youth.
Do you think a man like him would be short of money?"
"Alas, no matter how rich you are, you can't be so careless. This is not how you live your life."
"Oh, Aunt Li, you are still concerned about how Wang Zhiqing spends his money? He has the means, he can't spend it however he wants."
"But although Wang Zhiqing is easygoing, he doesn't seem to like interacting with us peasants.
He has been here for a few days, but I haven't seen him interacting with the villagers much."
"Hey, do you think that people in the city are like us country folk, who like to get together and chat like aunts and uncles? Wang Zhiqing is an intellectual, how could he be so bored as to talk nonsense with you?"
"That's true, but many of the sisters-in-law in our village have been eyeing Wang Zhiqing. If he doesn't interact with everyone, how can the sisters-in-law have a chance?"
"Hey, this is easy. When the spring ploughing starts, Wang Zhiqing will also work with us. Then we will have a chance to meet each other."
"That's right. I hope Wang Zhiqing can be assigned to our group. Wang Zhiqing looks delicate and tender, so I guess he won't be able to do much farm work. If we help him more, we can get closer to him."
"Yeah, that's true. But with all the big moves these days, I heard that the second-rate guys in the village, Er Laizi, have also set their sights on Wang Zhiqing. I guess they want to get some benefits from him."
"Tsk~ Just this group of people, Er Laizi, are lazy and cunning. I think they are a nuisance in the team every day and they should have been dealt with long ago.
In other words, the team leaders were afraid that it would affect the evaluation of the advanced team, so they habitually kept it secret. You don't think these second-rate people can get any benefit from Wang Zhiqing, do you? It's really funny.
Let me tell you, don't think Wang Zhiqing is easy to bully just because he looks delicate and tender.
Captain Liu said that Wang Zhiqing had been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child, so he had some skills in his hands. Wang Zhiqing dealt with Er Laizi and his gang of scoundrels like chickens."
"Yes, from what I know, Wang Zhiqing practices martial arts every night at the Zhiqing site, and he looks very fierce.
"These second-rate people like Er Laizi are trying to take advantage of Wang Zhiqing, they really deserve to be punished."
"Oh, I see. This is the first time I know that Wang Zhiqing is a martial artist."
"Hey, do you think the orphans of martyrs came here for free? If they don't have anything, they would have been eaten up by others at such a young age.
It also allowed Wang Zhiqing to grow up to be so bright and cheerful."
"That's right, that's exactly what happened. Mm, sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good. It smells really good."
"Hey, these are the ingredients Wang Zhiqing bought. For this banquet, Wang Zhiqing bought a large pork leg and a wild goat head. The meat alone weighs more than ten kilograms. How can the soup made from the bones not be delicious?"
The aunts didn't think much of it at first, but when the topic turned to the aroma of meat, everyone's stomachs started to rumble.
"Gulu, Gulu"
These days, there are no computers or cell phones, no entertainment activities,
The long night is really too hard to endure. Doesn’t every household keep making villains?
So now almost every household has a large population, and with so many people, there is not enough food, so it is difficult for everyone to have a full meal.
Not to mention eating meat. Normally, when people eat meat at home, it is just to wet their mouths and everyone tastes the flavor. It is really difficult to have a full meal of meat.
That's why everyone thinks that Wang Yuanchao is too generous. He actually bought so much meat to hold a banquet to commemorate the birth of the first beam. Isn't this a waste of money?
Although Hu Zhengwu and Wang Yuanchao said that there was too much meat and the remaining meat would be saved for Wang Yuanchao to eat later, the sisters-in-law did not think so and would not save it for Wang Yuanchao . The wild boar and wild goat were divided into two pots, and the meat was stewed with bones. Various spices, radishes, potatoes, vermicelli, and wild vegetables were added to make two large pots of Northeastern stew.
