Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

"Why are you crying? The town is more than thirty miles away from here. Doesn't it take time during the journey and exchange? If you don't come back at night, you will mourn again." The whole existence was shrouded in haze as several women cried and cried.

In the middle, Third Grandpa, who had never spoken much, spoke.

The person with the highest prestige in the entire Yangjia Village is naturally the elder grandfather, the leader of the village. The second most prestigious person is the third grandfather who usually doesn't talk much. He is the accountant of Yangjia Village. In the past, all the work points in the village had to go through his hands.

Yang Dongxu, who was taking his sister with him, couldn't help but look at the village entrance with worry. Although he was sure that the wheels of the times were changing, there was a high possibility that the wheels of the times would crush a few forerunners as they moved forward.

The whole family didn't eat much except for the ignorant sister who ate a steamed bun at noon. The sister Hongying was so tearful that she didn't even think about going to school.

Until the motorcade appeared on the road at the entrance of the village at around two o'clock in the afternoon, the whole village seemed to have come to life and cheered. When we went there, there were three carts, but we didn't dare to use an ox cart for fear of accidents, so we had people pulling the carts, and the oxen were left in the village without moving.

.

Otherwise, once something happens and someone is impounded, you can still find a way to get it. If the cattle are impounded, it will be troublesome. There is a shortage of cattle everywhere these days, which is the lifeblood of the village.

On top of the three carts, the first cart was completely covered with cotton cloth. The bundles looked like they were exchanged from the textile factory in the town. In addition to the cotton cloth, there was also some brown sugar, and half a fan (half a pig) of pork, especially

The big pig head is particularly eye-catching.

"Get out of the way, everyone. When you are looking for someone to do something, one hides further away than the other. Now come up and join in." The grandfather walking at the back of the team looked at the villagers who were surrounding him and shouted: "The car and cloth are divided equally. Let's get down."

Everyone who fishes in the river has a share. The sugar and pork carts go to the town and they share them equally, and everyone else gets out of here."

"We've got eggs too." Many women shouted when they saw the cloth and brown sugar and heard that they didn't have their own family status.

"Why, are you still in trouble? I think you need to clean up. Just go back and let your man beat you up." The uncle's eyes widened, and the shouting woman shrank her neck and did not dare to speak.

He took out his cigarette pouch and pressed the tobacco leaves in the pot to light it. After taking two beautiful puffs, the old man spoke again: "Go back and get ready. I'll go to the town tomorrow. The road over there has already been waded out. Is there any way?"

If you can exchange it again, whoever takes out something this time will keep it in the account, and the exchanged things will be distributed according to the ledger. Today, these things will be divided according to the just mentioned, and whoever exchanges things after talking too much will not get it."

When they heard that they would go to the town to exchange things tomorrow, the other women who had not received anything were still jealous, but they did not make any further fuss. They were dragged home by their men to discuss how much they would give in exchange.

They hid behind when they were taking on responsibilities, but rushed forward when sharing things. A few male workers looked a little blushing, but they couldn't tell because their skin was so tanned, but they obviously didn't have the shame to let their mothers-in-law make trouble here.

.

Dad came back, and the stomachs of the whole family started to growl. The pork they were given could not be put away in the summer, so they just threw it into the pot and cooked it. They also got some hard vegetables and paired it with the two bottles that my grandpa changed.

Wine, Yang Dongxu's family once again cleared the dark clouds and saw the bright moon.

"I'm going to visit the district tomorrow, will you go?" Grandpa Yang Dongxu's words were a little unsteady after three rounds of drinking, but his eyes were bright.

"Is the step too big?" Father Yang was a little worried.

"You know what, there is only one textile factory in your town. The total number of households eating commercial grain is less than 300, and 80% of them are from nearby rural areas. Your village is the first to eat crabs in exchange for good things. That big fart

How many times do you want to change a small town? What's more, you Yangjia Village is allowed to change, and other villages are not allowed to change?" Compared with the youth of Yang's father, the little grandpa who usually seems to be a fool is obviously more discerning.

"This..." Father Yang was a little hesitant, but what the young grandpa said made sense. There were too few people eating commercial grain in the town. People these days save money and change it a few times. It's okay to change things often.

It's impossible, not to mention that if a nearby village saw that nothing happened, they would join in.

"When you go to change things tomorrow, don't mix it up. The soup is already good after you drink it. If you mix it in again, someone will definitely be jealous. After breakfast tomorrow, call your big daddy and let's go to the district together.

, go check out the situation without bringing anything."

"My eldest father won't necessarily go, right?"

"Shit, that old man has more eyesight than you. He has three children and is less courageous than Sesame." The little grandpa looked at Father Yang with disdain and gestured with his thumb on the tip of his little finger.

"Grandpa, I want to go too, I want to go too." Yang Dongxu, who had been eating quietly next to him, came over.

Because women in rural areas are not allowed to serve food, my younger sister and older sister accompany their mother to eat in the kitchen. My elder sister Hongying is also very moved when she hears the commotion here. After all, the farthest place she has ever gone is her grandma’s house, let alone the district.

, I haven’t even been to the town.

"You want to be beaten, right? You're everywhere." Father Yang glared at his son.

Sister Hongying shrank her head and didn't dare to move forward. She went back to continue eating. The fried pork with garlic sprouts seemed more tempting than going to the area.

"Hit one of you and let me see!" The little grandpa, who was already blushing after drinking, glared and picked up all the meat and bones from the plate in front of him and put them into Yang Dongxu's bowl. "If you beat Xuzi again in the future, be careful that I beat you."

Xu Zi will be more promising than you in the future. How many Chinese characters do you know? When you were the same age as Xu Zi, you didn’t know where to play in the mud."

Grandpa Yang's words made Father Yang's face turn red and blue, but he was teaching his elders a lesson and he couldn't refute it. Mother Yang, who was coming to bring the meal, looked at her husband and wanted to laugh but was not afraid that her husband would be too embarrassed, so she gave him a lesson.

Yang Dongxu slapped him.

Compared to Yang's father who dares to be angry and dare not speak out about his little grandpa, Yang's mother is much more powerful. She has not had a good temper since she was a child. Although she is not a shrew, she does not talk back to her uncle once or twice.

In the evening, little grandpa Yang Dongxu went to his uncle's house to sit for a while. Early the next morning, he carried Yang Dongxu, who was still sleepy-eyed, and took a few big fish and set off together.

The district is more than 60 miles away from Yangjia Village. Although the rural people have good walking skills, they did not arrive until the afternoon. I first accompanied the grandfather to visit the commissioner's house.

After rejecting the commissioner's request to stay, the elder grandfather and the younger grandfather discussed something in the room and prepared to go home overnight. The younger grandfather went to the second aunt's grandma's house with Yang Dongxu and Yang's father.

"Second aunt, grandma." Yang Dongxu called sweetly, full of kindness to the fat old lady in front of him.

No matter how he didn't deal with the snobbish children in his second aunt's family in his previous life, the relationship between Yang Dongxu and his second aunt was still very good. It's a pity that his second aunt's life was not good and he didn't live long. He did it before he was fifty.

The widow did not remarry and died when he was in high school. Since then, their family and the relatives on the second aunt's side have not moved around again.

"Hey, hey, my eldest grandson." The second aunt's grandma picked up Yang Xu and kissed him on the face: "Don't stand and sit in the room. There is a speaker and little Yang. Why are you here today?

"

"I have something to do in the city, and I plan to go back tomorrow, so I came to your place to take a look." The little grandpa put down the things in his hands.

Compared to Father Yang's nervousness, he is much more relaxed when it comes to his sister.

"Come here, bring anything else. Why didn't Yongying come?" The second aunt looked at her brother reproachfully and asked Dad Yang while helping Yang Dongxu get the candy.

"Hongying is still in school and can't leave. Let them come and see you when they have time." Father Yang tried his best to smile.

"Bring them over to the city to see me from time to time. Your uncle is gone, and I'm usually fine at home. I won't leave you with a bite to eat when I come here. Xiaoxu will go to school soon, or let him come to the city to go to school next year.

Okay?" The second aunt hugged Yang Dongxu and was a little reluctant to let go.

At the beginning of the year, Yang Dongxu came to the city to stay in a hospital for a few days due to a severe cold. My second aunt was with me the whole time. Her husband had just left at that time. During the process of accompanying me, I always felt that I was destined to have a lot of love for Yang Dongxu, my little grandson.

"No, no, Xuzi has started to read now. The man from our village who came to the labor camp to teach him, who has a university degree, doesn't need to come to the city." Father Yang quickly waved his hand and refused, although he knew that he was a second-rate man.

What the aunt said was true, but he didn't want to take advantage of it.

It's not easy for city dwellers to eat commercial food, not to mention that Yang Dongxu's second aunt is still a widow. Although the children have been brought out to get married and go to work, it is not a heavy burden, but he still doesn't want to trouble others.

"Mom, I'm back. What's for dinner?" Not long after we sat in the house, a young man rode a bicycle into the yard. Behind him was a young woman who was very fashionable in this era and looked like a city dweller.

The young woman held a little girl of four or five years old in her arms, and there was a small schoolbag in the basket in front of the bicycle.

"Hey, Xiao Yang is here. Do you have anything to do in the city?" Seeing Yang's father coming out of the house, Yang Dongxu's uncle was stunned for a moment, and his aunt's face also looked a little unhappy.

"What Xiaoyang? Did you call me Xiaoyang? Call me brother-in-law. If you yell, don't come in the house anymore." The second aunt's grandmother yelled directly.

Yang Dongxu's eldest uncle is younger than Yang's father, and he used to go around every year and festival. Ever since Yang Dongxu was hospitalized at the beginning of the year, his second aunt's grandmother asked her to provide gifts and get a hospital bed, and also paid for the medical expenses. The eldest uncle felt that his family was like this

Rural Qinqin is a bit annoying, even his wife has the same attitude.

"It's okay, it's okay." Father Yang could only wave his hands awkwardly beside him.

"Go and sleep with your mistress tonight, and let your wife sleep with me. Your brother-in-law and Xiao Yang will stay here overnight and sleep in your room today." After giving her son a fierce look, the second aunt's grandma turned and walked into the house.

"How about that? The quilt cover in my room..." The eldest aunt wanted to say something, but the second aunt's grandma glared at her and stopped talking.

"Mom, my third son has stinky feet and is not hygienic, so I won't sleep with him." The eldest uncle looked reluctant.

But when he was talking about being unhygienic, he looked at Father Yang, and he didn't dare to look at his brother-in-law. When he was a child, he often got beaten by his brother-in-law when he went back to the countryside to play.

"If you don't want to sleep with the mistress, sleep on the street with me." The second aunt's grandma put down Yang Dongxu in her arms, her eyes were already burning, and she was looking for weapons in the room.
