Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Arriving at the backyard of Da Mao Hotel, my uncle was already sitting at the card table. Xiao Wu and others called Yang Dongxu and did not play mahjong behind closed doors. Apparently they came to watch the fun and place bets at the same time.

Since someone started to take the banker, there was no warm-up, and a large group of people huffed and cheered and surrounded me. My uncle's face started to turn red with excitement before he even started.

Then not long after, the whole room began to fill with smoke. Almost everyone had a cigarette in their mouths, and they didn't spend much money, but they were shouting and yelling as if they were in charge.

Yang Dongxu didn't stay in the room for long before he patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and walked out. He couldn't help it. I used to feel that this atmosphere was very lively.

But when playing cards was no longer just entertainment for a few cents, but when everyone started gambling with red eyes. He was very uncomfortable with this atmosphere, especially the smell of cigarettes in the room.

"Why are you back so early?" Yang's mother asked in surprise when she saw Yang Dongxu.

"The smell of cigarette smoke in the whole room is unbearable."

"Then you go to bed early." Yang's mother nodded.

Seeing that his son had already fallen asleep on his mother's bed, Yang Dongxu did not go to hug him. He said to Zhou Ya: "I will go to the old house to set off the opening and closing cannons, and I will go back after celebrating the New Year."

"Yeah." Zhou Ya, who was sitting in bed watching TV, nodded to him.

It's only more than an hour before the New Year greeting at 12 o'clock at night, so I'm too lazy to go back and forth. I'll go back to sleep after the New Year's greeting.

A man returned to the old house, took several cannon pendants, fired the opening cannon and the closing cannon, then turned on the lights in the house to keep them on, closed the door and Yang Dongxu returned to the street.

I was going to go into the house and set off the opening and closing cannons, and then I sat in bed watching TV and waited for my dad to come back from playing cards to greet the New Year. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the roar from the Da Mao Hotel.

Before entering the door, I turned around and walked towards Da Mao Hotel. The closer I got, the louder the yelling, and someone was cursing. From the few words, I could tell that someone was fighting with someone.

When I walked in, I saw that there was indeed a fight, but it had been pulled away now. On one side were Xiaowu Daliang and several other people, but they were blocked by the people from Yangjiacun and prevented him from going over to take action.

On the other side were a few people who looked familiar but didn't recognize them. They were probably from nearby villages coming to play cards. They were also pulled aside and not allowed to come over.

However, compared to Xiaowu and the others who didn't say anything, they just wanted to go over and beat those people. Although the people on the other side were blushing and roaring, they felt very guilty no matter what.

"What's wrong?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask when he saw Father Yang and his uncle standing nearby with nothing wrong.

"This grandson can't afford to be a cheat. I drive all over the country and never see anything. He actually played this trick in front of me. I have to chop off his hand." Xiao Wu said angrily.

The thing is very simple. A group of people gather together to push Pai Gow. Unknowingly, the game gets bigger and bigger amidst all the booing. The opponent is a person from another village. Several people went out to work and earned some money, so they jointly sit down and prepare to have a good time.

Who would have known that if you were unlucky, you would lose more and more, and in the end, when you lost quickly, you understood what was wrong. At first, no one cared about it. After all, they had lost a lot before, and winning now meant that their luck had returned.

But these people were obviously greedy. After getting their capital back and making a small profit, they didn't know how to stop and continued playing tricks, but Xiao Wu saw it out.

He started beating up several people, but actually he was not the only one who did it. After all, they were all in the mood for playing cards, so how could he not be angry when someone suddenly fooled him like this?

Seeing that more and more people were taking action, it was okay to give them a beating to vent their anger. It would not be a good fortune to beat someone up during the Chinese New Year, so some of the elders felt that it was about time and separated the people.

Originally, it would be fine if these people left, but I don't know if they were fooled or if they felt that they were at a disadvantage. After several people were kicked out from Da Mao's backyard, they cursed and Xiao Wu was very angry.

It's so big that I want to chop off the hands of thousands of people.

"Okay, you guys, let's go. Don't hang around Yangjiacun if you have nothing to do." Through the dim light at the entrance of the hotel, I saw a few blushing people with thick necks and blood at the corners of their nostrils and mouths, and their eyes and faces were covered in many places.

Swelled up.

It was obvious that he had been taught a lesson just now. Yang Dongxu waved his hand and told a few people to get out. It was enough to beat them up and teach them a lesson. It would not be a good thing if they were really beaten.

"Well... we don't cause trouble, it's just the money..." After hearing Yang Dongxu's words, the leader on the other side wanted to say something back.

However, the person next to him obviously recognized who Yang Dongxu was, so he helped his companion. Everyone said that people are famous for their shadows. Although the Yang family in these ten miles and eight towns usually doesn't get much limelight, there is really no one there.

Dare to provoke.

If you offend Xiao Wu and the others, the most you can do is get a beating. If you offend the Yang family, the parents and family will not be able to raise their heads in the village. After all, in order to develop their hometown in recent years, whether it is greenhouse vegetables, planting herbs, or joint sports cars

And so on, everyone points to the Yang family for dinner.

"Holy shit, you kid still dares to ask for money? Don't stop me, I have to kill this guy today!" Originally Yang Dongxu was here, but Xiao Wu, who had gradually suppressed his anger, suddenly became angry again.

At first, Yang Dongxu was a little surprised when he saw that these people had not left the hotel even after being beaten. In recent years, he had never seen that thorny head dare to fight in front of Xiao Wu and others. It turned out that the money he won was in

There was no reluctance in the room.

"Forget the money, it just so happens that the bridge in the south is broken. Originally, everyone thought about exchanging the money and then asking the government to subsidize the repair of the bridge. This would prevent traffic from being inconvenient when the medicinal herbs are harvested in the summer.

I made the decision and donated all the money to build the bridge. If you feel unhappy, leave your name and wait until the bridge is repaired. When you write the name of the donor, put your name too. How much is the money?

Also write it down and it will be considered as your donation." Yang Dongxu walked over.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The other party seemed a little scared when he gave in, but he was stunned for a moment when Yang Dongxu passed the cigarette. Then he hesitated for a while, and still reached out and took the cigarette.

Seeing Yang Dongxu helping to light the fire, he quickly said I don't dare, I don't dare, and lit the cigarette with both hands.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, although he still felt unwilling to do so, he looked at Yang Dongxu, who was standing in front of him with a smile and seemed to have a good temper. A few people did not dare to complain, so they had to say a few words to express their apologies.

Or he admitted defeat and turned around to leave after having exposed the matter.

"It's an advantage for these grandsons." Xiao Wu and others spat on the ground disdainfully.

I don't know if it's because I've been too good-tempered in the past few years, but some people have started to come to Yangjiacun to play tricks.

"Okay, it's better to have less to do than more to do during the Chinese New Year." Yang Dongxu smiled and patted his shoulder, then gave the cigarettes to the people around him and dispersed: "I donated all the money to build the bridge.

If you lose money, don't blame me. If you feel uncomfortable when the time comes, tell the village chief and your name will be added when the monument is erected."

"What do you mean? Everyone is responsible for building the bridge. Everyone should have donated money, so I took the lead in donating in advance."

"Come on, you old boy is usually the most procrastinating. If you hadn't lost money, you would be a mess."

"Wang Mazi, you are looking for some training."

As he spoke, the building tilted.

However, no one has any objections to Yang Dongxu's proposal to donate money to build the bridge. If it were another person, some people would definitely scoff and say, "Why do you have such a big face? What do you say?"

But when Yang Dongxu said this, no one dared to complain.

This is not because the power of the Yang family is on display, nor is it because Dad Yang and Shengli lost a lot just now. But if the money to repair the bridge is not enough after donations and government subsidies, then Yang Dongxu will definitely use the money to make up for it.

Up.

The Yang family has always been so grand in doing things, and they have never said anything but done practical things. So even people who care about their own money can't open their mouths to say anything at this time.

After bragging, spanking, laughing and cursing a few times, and the cold wind blowing, my brain, which had been red-faced, flushed, ears red, and full of blood from playing cards, now calmed down.

It suddenly felt dull, and no one mentioned going back to play cards. So we each said hello and chatted for a while, then went back to our houses to prepare to take our wives and children to bed.

"Okay, let's go! Go in and count the money in the account. When the government goes to work on the sixth day of the lunar month, let Dad go and apply for it and have the bridge repaired."

On New Year's Day, I didn't wash my hair, sweep the floor or even wash the dishes. I spent the most decadent day of the year.

The next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the market opened and I was visiting relatives with large and small packages. Because of the snow the year before, it was obviously not possible to drive a big Ben to visit relatives. At this time, the big Ben is not as useful as a tractor.

So he could only carry a lot of New Year's gifts in big and small bags, while Zhou Ya held the child and used her legs to visit relatives.

Relatives at this time are really relatives. Although there may be some minor conflicts occasionally, everyone still hopes that each other will live well, instead of being jealous of you if you do well in the future, or looking down on you if you do not.

It makes visiting relatives more like a formality, with not much contact throughout the year. At the end of the year, when visiting relatives, sometimes I don’t want to go by car, and I don’t even think about walking.

If the roads hadn't been almost repaired at that time, if they wanted to walk to relatives like this now, haha... I guess the first thing that adults and children would think of would be to make a phone call and say that they have something to do at home today and are too busy to visit relatives.

I won’t go there for the time being...

Nowadays, people go very early when visiting relatives. One of them is to hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the roads are not thawed in the morning.

The second one is to go to relatives' houses to talk to the elders, play cards and so on with cousins ​​of the same age, and meet them once a year to have some fun.

Unlike in the past, I would go there in time for the meal and leave immediately after the meal, as if my relatives were chasing people away and not letting them stay.

"Is the clothing factory at my cousin's house okay?" At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the second aunt, second uncle, and cousins ​​​​sent them a long way before turning back. If it hadn't been getting dark, tomorrow

Knowing that he still wanted to visit relatives, he probably stayed and refused to leave.

"It's okay. My cousin said before that I would like to see if I could contact him about the machine. He is planning to expand the business this year." His cousin lent him money to start a business and he paid it back last year.

The clothing industry has indeed become more and more popular in recent years, just like the bag-making industry a few years ago, it is not a big deal for a small workshop to produce hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

"I heard what mom said before, it seems that my eldest cousin and my second cousin's family are planning to separate their businesses." Zhou Ya said and glanced back.

Although he knew that the distance was far away and that the second aunt's family had already gone back, he still looked back subconsciously.

"It's okay to separate. Now that everyone has made money, each other has their own little thoughts. Then we can work separately. Whoever is more capable will earn more. Whoever is less capable, don't blame the others." Yang Dongxu pulled.

The scarf on the son's face in his arms is a little crazy. Don't catch the cold.

He had left all the New Year's gifts at his relatives' houses and never got them back, so he could feel more relaxed while holding the little guy Zhou Ya and holding his arm as he walked aside.

He thought it was good that his eldest cousin and his second cousin were going to separate businesses. After all, brothers sometimes get into trouble because of some trivial matters, not to mention they are still cousins ​​and they are not talking about money.

Things like money can easily lead to conflicts.

"The aunt and the second aunt actually don't want to separate. I always feel that it's embarrassing for relatives to do this." Zhou Ya said with some emotion.

"A generation, a generation's thoughts, a generation's feelings. The older generation are used to living a hard life and cherish blessings more. They know that it is not easy for everyone and know how to be humble.

But with the development of the domestic economy of our generation, if we are not together, our relationship may still remain the same as before. If we are always too close, our teeth will bite our lips sometimes. So it is good to separate to avoid conflicts in the future.

Even relatives don’t have to do it.”
