Chapter 116

Chang Wen suggested: "we'd better find a B & B place to stay. I think maybe we'll stay here for a while and go abroad after the show."

Looking around, there were many houses in a nearby cave. They walked towards the cave.

I met an old man at the intersection. In front of him was a cloth bag with pecans in it.

Wang Xiaoman asked: "old man, how do you sell pecans?"

"Five yuan a Jin."

The old man replied with a smile.

Wang Xiaoman winked at Chang Wen, squatted down, and asked, "old man, how old are you?"

"I'm seventy-eight years old."

Wang Xiaoman exclaimed: "old man, you are nearly 80 years old, and you are still so handsome and healthy. It's not easy."

The boss asked, "are you two here to travel?"

"Yes, sir, we just got here and wanted to find a place to live."

The old man said, "there is no hotel here. We can only live in the hometown. What's the name of B & B?"

Wang Xiaoman asked, "how many villages are there near here?"

"Just one village, divided into two villages."

The old man pointed to the house in the valley and said, "this is qianshantun. There is a houshantun more than two miles away. The two villages together are a village."

"Old man, do we have B & B here?"

The old man replied, "if you are rich, you will build a tile roofed house and open a B & B. Those grass houses, even if it's a homestay, are uninhabited

Wang Xiaoman asked, "old man, is your house a tile roofed house or a thatched cottage?"

The old man said sheepishly, "my family is a thatched cottage. It's a poor family in the village."

Wang Xiaoman asked again: "old man, how many people are there in your family?"

The old man sighed and said, "my family is just me and my wife. My wife hasn't given birth, so we have to live together."

Wang Xiaoman winked at Changwen and seemed to be asking for his advice.

Chang Wen nodded.

Wang Xiaoman asked with a smile: "old man, we want to live in your house, can we?"

The old man was embarrassed and said: "my family's condition is poor. I live in a thatched cottage and eat a simple meal. You two are city people and will not get used to it."

"Old man, we both come from hard times, and our mouths are fierce. Please take us in."

The old man said, "I'll only charge you 50 yuan a day."

Wang Xiaoman said with a smile: "old man, fifty yuan is too little. We give you one hundred yuan a day. What's the matter

The old man was so happy that he could not close his mouth and said, "I'll take up the stool. I'm really sorry."

"I'm sorry to disturb you, old man."

Chang Wen helps the old man carry the pecan bag, and the three go back together.

The old man's house is in the westernmost part of the village. The two cottages are very simple but clean.

The old lady was surprised and asked, "why did you bring the guests?"

The old man said, "they must come to our house."

The old lady apologetically said: "two distinguished guests, my family's condition is too bad, the living is poor, the food is also poor, you two come to my house, how much grievance you have to suffer."

Wang Xiaoman said with a smile: "Auntie, we don't care about the living conditions. We just think that we can talk with the old man."

The old lady rushed to the kitchen to cook. After a while, she fried four dishes and cooked a large bowl of rice.

Although all vegetables, but are just picked from the vegetable field down, taste particularly unusual.

Maybe it's because it's too hard to run for a day. Both Chang Wen and Wang Xiaoman eat very well.

After dinner, I sat in the yard chatting.

Chang Wen asked, "old man, how many families are there in qianshantun and houshantun?"

"There are more than 30 families in qianshantun and more than 50 families in houshantun, less than 100 in total."

Chang Wen then asked, "how many have run B & B?"

"It's less than half of the total. Our qianshantun is close to the scenic spot, and there are more families running B & B."

Wang Xiaoman asked, "which village does the village head live in?"

The old man pointed to the East and said, "see, the three big tile roofed houses are the village head's house."

Chang Wen shrugged and said, "it seems that no matter which village, the richest one is the village head."

The old man whispered: "our village head is a great man. His elder brother is the deputy head of the township, and one of his uncles is an official in the county. In our village, the village head has a lot to say, and no one dares to offend him."

Wang Xiaoman asked, "what's the village head like?"

The old man looked around and said in a low voice, "you two are outsiders. I don't have a taboo. The village head has a nickname Wang lame son. Ten years ago, he had a picnic in houshantun. Unexpectedly, the man of that family came back in the middle of the night. The village head jumped out of the window in a hurry and ran away. He forgot that there was a two foot high cliff outside the window and broke his leg at once."

Chang Wen is puzzled to ask: "with this virtue, can you still be the village head?"

"He has people in the countryside and the county, so everyone dares not offend him. When it comes to the election, they vie to vote for him."

Chang Wen sighed and said angrily: "this... Isn't nanbatian in power?"

Wang Xiaoman said with disapproval: "little brother, there are so many things like this. It's very common. I don't think it's strange and I won't be angry."

The old man reminded: "you are only here for tourism. Don't speak ill of the village head. Last year, several college students came here to conduct social investigation and said some bad words about the village head. The village head called several villagers and beat them up, and framed them for stealing corn cobs. As a result, these college students were not only beaten, but also sent to the police station. "

"Does the village head cover the sky with one hand?"

Chang Wen said angrily.

The old man said: "the village head is cunning. He asked people to secretly put a bag of corn into the rooms where the students lived, and sent someone to search for it. Then he got the stolen goods and took photos with his mobile phone. You say, those students can't even admit it. It's said that he was fined later and left in ashes. "

Chang Wen sighed.

Wang Xiaoman asked: "Wang lame in addition to lust, should also be greedy?"

"Yes, he's a very good guy. As long as there's a bargain to take, he won't let go even a cent. People in our village pay tribute to him every year. Although our old couple have nothing of value, they have to give gifts to the village head during the Spring Festival. Last Spring Festival, I gave the village head two bottles of wine. The village head said with a cold face: who can drink this cheap wine? You'd better take it back and drink it yourself. You see, our old couple lived frugally and bought her wine, but he didn't think the grade of wine was too low, so he just returned it. "

Wang Xiaoman whispered to Chang Wen: "it's a good thing that the village head is greedy for money. If he is really a clean village head, it's not easy for us to start."

Chang Wen sighed.
