Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The end of August is also considered a busy time for farming in rural areas, but compared to other busy times for farming or harvesting. At the end of August, you basically go into the fields to take care of crops, and the most important work is weeding.

Compared with a few years ago, when herbicides were applied several times, people rarely went to the fields. Now most farmers still go to the fields to weed manually.

However, because of the hot weather, people in the village basically only go to the fields in the morning and evening. At other times, it is impossible to enter the fields due to the sun.

Therefore, at other times, there are many people chatting and enjoying the shade under the trees in the village. Compared to the past few years, when all the family members go out to work, they may not necessarily go home during the New Year.

Even during the Chinese New Year, you may not see a few people in the entire village. The countryside is still very lively now. Chickens and ducks are not so controlled as they run around.

Under the shade of the trees, the women were sitting with odd jobs in their hands, chatting with the women from the same village about their family's family affairs. A few men gathered together to walk horses, or play cards with others, and just have fun and not gamble much.

Children cannot go to the pond under the leadership of older children, otherwise they will be beaten. Only in the evening when adults go into the water, younger children can go into the water with them, so that if something happens, they will be there in time.

Go rescue.

Therefore, in this era without smart phones and games, the favorite thing for children to do is to use net bags modified from plastic bags at home, or steal noodles from home, wash them into gluten, and stick them on the tips of bamboo poles to play with them everywhere.

And at this time, almost every man had a slingshot, so in the village, there were many bird nests on the trees on both sides of the road that suffered.

If a big bird breaks someone's glass when they don't live in the village, a severe beating will definitely be necessary. Then the adult will come to the door to apologize and apologize in various ways, and quickly go to the hardware store on the street to ask the master to give it to the house.

Get a new piece of glass.

There was no market today, so the car drove into the old house without encountering any obstacles. Yang's father and mother were already waiting at the door, but the car was blocked before entering.

Then the two elders held Xiao Wenchen in their arms and kissed him again and again. At the same time, they gave Zhou Ya, their daughter-in-law, a smile. Yang Dongxu, their son, was basically ignored by them.

Because they had been separated for a while, Xiao Wenchen was a little unfamiliar with his grandparents at first. This made Yang Dongxu suffer from looks.

After a while, the familiar scene awakened Xiao Wenchen's memory of his grandparents, and Yang Dongxu lost even the last sense of his existence. He only had to go to the kitchen to see what was for lunch.

Not long after I got home, my grandparents and my uncle's family came over. As soon as my aunt's son Jiejie arrived at the old house, he ran to play with Xiao Wenchen.

In fact, children basically like to play with older children, and they always feel that other children are too childish. However, not long after Xiao Wenchen could speak, he called Uncle Jiejie all day long, and his uncle's mouth was very sweet.

This little brat Jie Jie has grown up to be an elder, so he usually brings Xiao Wen Chen along with him when he plays, taking care of his little nephew.

"How was the Olympics? Isn't it exciting?" My aunt followed Zhou Ya upstairs to open the gifts. My uncle went to the refrigerator successfully, found an ice cream and ate it, and asked.

"There are a lot of lively people. You don't have a chance to go there this time. The next Olympics will be held in our capital in a few years. Then you can take your whole family there. Anyway, our house in Yanjing is so big.

Everyone can live there.”

Yang Dongxu took a cucumber from the kitchen, wiped off the cucumber with his hands, washed it and ate it.

Victory, who was eating ice cream, suddenly felt that the ice cream in his mouth no longer tasted good. Did he want to watch the Olympics?

Of course I want to go to the Olympics, but at least no one in the village has watched the Olympics. After going to the Olympics, I can brag about it in the village for a while.

But is going to Yanjing to watch the Olympics the same as going to a foreign country to watch the Olympics?

After watching the Olympics and traveling abroad, the bragging rights are much better than just watching the Olympics, okay? He has been to Yanjing several times and there is nothing new. Besides, many people in the village have been to Yanjing.

What's so strange about this?

On the contrary, when the villagers go to Yanjing to visit, they can satisfy their sense of vanity by staying in a big courtyard house and hearing that the big courtyard house is now worth tens of millions. But the house is not their own, so even if it can satisfy their vanity

Satisfaction is limited.

"Dongxu, do you know where you put those necklaces and earrings you bought earlier?" Zhou Ya's voice came from upstairs.

"It seems to be in the box containing supplements. When I was packing up the supplements, I saw a few jewelry boxes and put them in together." Yang Dongxu shouted to the upstairs.

Zhou Ya basically brings gifts to the whole family every time she goes out. Sometimes they are cosmetics, sometimes they are jewelry, sometimes they are clothes and shoes.

The most popular items are jewelry and cosmetics, and it is difficult for you to wear clothes and shoes that look good even if they are from big brands in rural areas.

After all, sometimes the countryside is not so clean, and there are a lot of chicken droppings on the road. Although it feels disgusting if you step on it normally, you can just rub it on the ground and forget it.

If Yang Dongxu was wearing shoes costing several thousand dollars and was kicked like that, Yang Dongxu would not care and would still rub it on the ground and then do whatever he had to do.

But the older generation in the family feels very distressed, so you can't tell them the price when buying these things, otherwise it will be a burden for them to wear them.

But such things could be concealed in the past. Now as the domestic economy becomes more and more developed, everyone has heard of the names of big brands and luxury goods. Obviously, it is no longer possible to cheat like before.

So Zhou Ya began to give away some jewelry, such as some gemstone earrings. Although some of them are valuable, wearing them on the ears and stepping on dog poop on the feet are two completely different experiences.

.

"By the way, how much is my watch worth?" the uncle shook the watch on his wrist victoriously and said.

He didn't buy this watch himself, it was given to him by Zhou Ya for his birthday this year.

"More than two hundred thousand, I don't know much about this." Yang Dongxu turned over the strap of the watch on his uncle's wrist and found that it was a Rolex. My uncle likes this style very much because it is used in many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.

My eldest brother likes to wear watches of this style.

"What the hell?" The uncle who was eating ice cream was stunned.

It is undoubtedly very impolite to ask how much a gift costs, but he also thought that the value of this watch is estimated to be tens of thousands of yuan, and Zhou Ya would not be able to afford it no matter how much it was.

Even if it was guessed to be tens of thousands of dollars, it still felt very cool for him to show off casually while eating. After all, it is very cool to be able to wear a watch worth tens of thousands of dollars on your hand, at least in his perception.

That's right, they are all rich.

Who would have thought that this watch was not worth tens of thousands, but over 200,000. This was definitely not a surprise, but for a moment he felt that his wrist was no longer his own. Even though there were no outsiders at home, he still felt

There was someone hiding in that dark place who wanted to rob him.

"Don't pay too much attention to a watch. It's the year of your birth year. Zhou Ya and I will discuss giving you a more expensive gift. You don't celebrate birthdays very much at other times, so I just treat you with good wine and cigarettes." Yang Dongxu smiled.

said.

The reason why I told my uncle the value of this watch is not because I sincerely put a psychological burden on my uncle. But when I first put on this watch, my uncle showed off in various ways and he didn't care.

But a few days ago, when he was still in Athens, his mother called home and told him that his brother-in-law drank too much again one day. He drank too much and went to play cards without telling him and lost some money.

It’s okay to lose money. I don’t have much in my pocket anyway. I lost all my money and went home to sleep. As a result, my uncle got drunk and made all kinds of noises. He was very unhappy after losing, so he took off his watch and put it on the table, saying

Keep coming for 10,000 yuan.

Playing cards in the street for five to ten dollars is already considered a big deal. If you win or lose one hundred, two hundred dollars, the couple is already going to quarrel. Especially the Yang family is said to be a respectable person on the street and everywhere in the country.

As soon as the drunk Shengli started playing cards, others persuaded him to go back to sleep. In the end, they did not persuade him and had to play with him for a few rounds. He did not want to pay back the money if he won.

Although the Yang family won't default on their debts if they lose, they really don't want to hang out on the street when they cheat money when they are drunk. Who would have thought that the cooperating uncle would become drunk and insist on betting big?

In the end, Father Yang was brought back from the pig farm to bring his uncle home.

At home, he is a fellow villager, and no one will cheat him. But my uncle likes to go to the county town or go for a stroll outside. People don’t know you outside, but they don’t care who you are.

If something happens again about betting on watches, although Yang Dongxu doesn't care about the money, he can't watch his uncle being cheated, so he still tells the price directly.

If there is a burden on one's mind, one should be burdened on one's heart. If one has a psychological burden, he will probably wear it less in the future, which will reduce the risk of trouble. However, he can already foresee that if there is any public appearance in the wine shop in the future, my uncle will definitely wear a watch more

It's a shame to show off. But it's better to show off than to be tricked.

"What about your aunt's set of jewelry?" He felt that his wrist had nowhere to put it.

"It's probably more than 200,000. I didn't ask much about what Zhou Ya bought. However, the virtual price of gems is relatively large, but the gem market has been bullish in recent years, so the actual value is almost the same as the purchase price.

In fact, whether it is jade or diamonds, there is no gold to maintain its value. If something happens, a big gold chain or something can be directly cashed in. There is too much water in gems, jade and the like, so second-hand ones have no special meaning and are basically discounted.

It’s not easy to sell.” Yang Dongxu said.

To be honest, if he didn't feel that wearing a big gold chain and a gold ring was too cliché, he would have felt better wearing gold in all kinds of accessories.

The price of gold has been rising steadily. Although jadeite has also been speculated in recent years, the same is true for diamonds and other gemstones. But when you need money for wearing a gold chain, you can find a slightly lower price at any gold store.

Sellable.

For jadeite and other gems, unless you are lucky enough to meet a buyer you like, the people in the jewelry store can give you a 50% off recycling price, so you can imagine the moisture in it.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? A few days ago, members of your aunt's family came to visit relatives. That prodigal aunt of yours..." As he said this, my uncle started to run upstairs in victory.

It didn't take long for the aunt to run down in a hurry.

"Is what your uncle said true? Is that set of jewelry really worth hundreds of thousands?" The aunt looked at Yang Dongxu in astonishment.

She was about the same size as her brother-in-law Shengli. The set of jewelry Zhou Ya gave her felt that it only cost ten thousand yuan. Although it was quite rare, it was just rare.

In addition, the family's living conditions are good, and even if the uncle is not a good person, he can still earn 100,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. In addition, Zhou Ya, eldest sister Hong Ying, and Dan Dan are all rich women.

Although there are differences in giving gifts from far and near, I usually bring one to my uncle’s family. So my aunt is not short of these necklaces and jewelry.

So a few days ago, when her brother-in-law came to visit relatives with his wife and children, she showed off her necklaces and jewelry to her sister-in-law.

After showing off, I saw that my sister-in-law liked the necklace given by Zhou Ya. Although I felt a little distressed, I wanted to save face for my brother and myself, so as not to slap myself in the face by showing off just now. Although I felt a little distressed, I was still very generous.

I gave the necklace away.

My brother-in-law also knew about this. Although he said a few words about prodigal women, he didn't care in his heart. After all, his brother-in-law had always been respectful and envious of him, and he spoke nicely. Just give him a necklace. Who has ever

I think that necklace is so valuable.

"Zhou Ya bought the things. You can ask her more clearly about the specific price than me." Seeing his uncle and aunt looking panicked and regretful, Yang Dongxu pinched his brows.

What happened was that my brother-in-law was tricked when he was fooling around. As a result, my brother-in-law was fine, and my aunt probably couldn't sleep well recently.
