Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Years ago, there was all kinds of shopping and New Year shopping. Even on the morning of New Year's Eve, there was half a party. Every household still felt that something was missing and went home to take stock.

In the past, when there was no refrigerator, many things went bad after being eaten during the Chinese New Year. Now that there is a refrigerator, I buy more.

If you said that the market opened late like in the past and only opened on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, you would be forgiven for buying so many things. After all, there is no place to buy things if the market is not open.

But now the market starts on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and even when you go out to visit relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it’s unthinkable that if there are no gifts, the supermarkets on the street will be open for business, and you will carry large and small bags home.

Maybe I was afraid of being hungry before. After all, the people who are in charge now are the older generation who have endured hardship. At that time, they could only eat a little bit better during the New Year.

Now that I am living a prosperous life, I have a little money at the end of this year, and I always want to bring all kinds of food to my house. I don’t have much to buy, such as clothes and shoes.

Basically, the tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival in rural areas is that at the end of the year, children wear new clothes and a new pair of shoes. Adults can buy them or not. After all, children will no longer be able to wear last year's clothes as they grow taller, and adults will not grow taller, so last year's clothes are just fine.

Forget it once.

Most of the rest were bought for various kinds of food, first a large piece of meat, then various gifts and drinks packed in boxes, and then firecrackers and fire paper were also bought.

As is the old rule, on the night before the thirties, men carry firecrackers and fire paper to worship their ancestors and inform their ancestors that the New Year is coming.

Women prepare dumplings and New Year's Eve dinner at home and don't work on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This "not working" doesn't just mean not working.

Instead, I don’t sweep the floor, wash the dishes, or take a shower. I’m so lazy and decadent. Even when I cook, I only eat the dumplings prepared the day before, or the leftovers from the New Year’s Eve the day before.

In short, in the past few days, there is basically no need for surgery, and children are not allowed to rummage through the house. People who are very particular still keep the New Year's Eve, open the door and use a long stick to block the door to prevent wealth from flowing out of the house.

.

"Take two handfuls after eating?" Daliang said as he came out of the field.

Because it didn't rain or snow last year, it was much easier to go around the village to worship ancestors than in previous years, and there was no mud on my body or shoes.

"You guys play first. I'll check the time. It's not like you don't know my brother-in-law. He either doesn't drink and plays two games at the end of the year, or he drinks until midnight and then goes home to sleep." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Maybe it’s because my son is getting older and I want to set a good example for him. Or maybe my aunt’s discipline over the years has produced good results.

Now his brother-in-law Shengli doesn't play cards very much anymore, and even if he does, he doesn't play much. After all, there are things going on at home and in the fields, and he doesn't have as much free time as before.

On the morning of the first day of the year and the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will have fun after worshiping our ancestors, which is a bit uncertain on New Year’s Eve.

After all, my aunt is usually very tight-lipped. In the past, my uncle Shengli not only liked gambling, but also liked drinking. But my aunt basically didn't care how much he drank during the New Year's Eve dinner.

In addition, the wine Yang Dongxu brought back was all good wine. He drank a few bottles of Moutai Wuliangye the night before, or bought some Huadiao wine for several years, and the next day he went out to brag about the big names to gain face.

After all, the wine that Yang Dongxu brought back was not bought, but the kind that was specially available on the market. Every year, either before or after the New Year, when he was walking around in Yanjing to make various connections.

With his current status and the connections he needs to move around, it's no exaggeration to say that there is nothing to fawn over. It's just like friends and family friends who move around each other at the end of the year.

So he came to the door with gifts, and the other party naturally returned the gifts. These special cigarettes and alcohol were the return gifts from some people. Yang Dongxu did not smoke and drank occasionally, so these things were cheaper for his father and uncle.

But usually knowing that this thing is expensive, both Yang’s mother and my aunt are very tight, so neither my father nor my uncle can do anything to make it, and they are waiting for the holidays.

So I drank to my heart's content the night before, went home and took a nap, and the next day, on New Year's Day, I did nothing but play. I went to the card game to sit down and show off how much special liquor I drank yesterday, and smoked.

A few packs of awesome special cigarettes.

Then put the red panda and giant panda cigarettes on the table, or spread them around, which is really a good thing.

Because it was the end of the year, Yang Dongxu, who usually doesn't drink much, would also drink some with him. Although it was not as enjoyable as his father and uncle, he would definitely accompany him, so there was no way to determine what time the New Year's Eve dinner would end.

"Then you check the time after dinner. If you have time, come over and sit down. We will gather at my place this year. We don't have time to talk tomorrow." Daliang said with a smile.

"Okay, if it's early, I'll go over and take a look." Yang Dongxu responded.

As the people in Yangjiacun become more and more affluent, although there are many people playing cards at the end of the year, it is rare that they play cards the first night and lose everything the next day, leaving their families and wives separated, making the New Year uneasy.

In many cases, the poorer the place, the more gambling takes place. On the contrary, in the richer place, outsiders do everything, and the locals basically stop playing.

For example, in Yangjiacun, there was a lot of fun in the past few years. Even people in the town drove to Yangjiacun to play cards at the end of the year. At that time, eight villages in ten miles were considered number one in gambling at the end of the year.

However, as the people in Yangjia Village are getting richer and more sophisticated, no one will take the lead to speak up at such events at the end of the year, and they will naturally disappear.

After all, when people get rich, they start to pay attention to face and reputation. What's more, Yangjiacun is still a new rural area that the province and city are paying attention to. Even if you want to mess around, the superiors will not agree.

Therefore, at the end of the year, although everyone wants to have a good year and turns a blind eye to many things, the people of Yangjiacun have begun to make demands on themselves.

So now it’s time to stop playing cards at the end of the year. If you feel like you have two coins in your pocket, you won’t be able to enjoy playing in the village.

Then go out and play by yourself and don't do anything in the village. Otherwise, instead of being in the limelight, you will be looked down upon.

At the same time, card playing is also divided into venues. For example, successful bosses like Xiao Wu and Daliang will basically gather together to play, while others with less income gather in one venue.

This is not about looking up to someone or looking down on someone.

But it doesn't matter whether Xiao Wu and a few people get together to win or lose. Everyone has a family, and they just have a little fun at the end of the year to pass the time.

But this little thing is usually given to people in the same village who only rely on the income from the fields, which is a bit big.

Sitting at a poker table with such a person, it's okay if you lose, and you don't care about the small money anyway. But if you win and he loses, then this is not a small loss to him, and it is very likely to cause harm to the family.

contradictory.

You don't feel much when you win a small amount of money, but the next day you see all kinds of chaos in the house of the loser, how do you feel?

Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable during the Chinese New Year, so the poker venues are still separate.

Weddings and funerals in the village are arranged according to seniority. It doesn't matter if you eat and drink at the same table. Even if you are a big boss outside, you have to carry the plate when you return to the village.

It will save everyone's peace of mind at the end of the year if things that are easy to cause conflicts at the card table are separated. This will prevent everyone from being embarrassed by having to play a big game.

After coming out of the fields and not entering the village, I happened to meet a group of people with other surnames who were also walking back to the village after visiting the graves.

When everyone saw Yang Dongxu smiling and saying hello, Yang Dongxu responded with a smile and quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket to have a chat.

"The feeling of a good cigarette is different." Xiaoga took a puff of the cigarette and tasted it, then took the cigarette in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"The rest is yours." Yang Dongxu smiled and put the cigarette in his hand.

"You're stingy, there aren't many left. Give me a new pack someday." Xiaoga teased, "Let's sit together when we have time."

"It depends on the time. I'm busy outside this year, so I must have left earlier, and I may not be at home during the 15th birthday. If you have anything to say, tell me as soon as possible, otherwise there will be nothing you can do if you can't catch up." Yang Dongxu also joked.

But the last sentence can't be a joke. If the villagers don't do anything that violates discipline, he can definitely help. What I said before is true. After the Spring Festival, it will be 2008, and he is really busy.

"Nothing's wrong, it's just that I feel like there's no future for agricultural machinery. I'm not repairing cars this year but also selling electric cars at the same time. I don't know what I'm doing, so I want you to help me check it out." The two of them said as they walked,

Is it okay to respond to other people who say hello?

"Electric vehicles are very good. Although there are many people farming here now, most of them are traditional Chinese medicine. Apart from plowing, there is really no need for agricultural machinery at other times.

But electric cars are different. Basically everyone has a car, but in fact it is definitely more convenient to ride an electric car when going to the market, especially an electric tricycle. Not only can you go to the market to pull goods, but you can also go to the fields to pull things. Every household will definitely buy them.

one."

I have to say that Xiaoga has a really good sense of the market. In the early ten years of agricultural machinery, there were all kinds of big profits. In rural areas, there was even a profession of making money by helping people plow fields.

At that time, there were no big unions or threshing machines. Many farmers still used oxen to plow the fields. At that time, I bought a four-wheeler, whether it was plowing, sowing, or helping people crush wheat during the harvest. When the farming was busy,

They all make a lot of money.

Nowadays, there is basically no market for agricultural machinery. Even large combine harvesters seem to be making money, but they have only made money in the past few years. In the future, there will be more and more businesses competing for business.

On the contrary, electric vehicles, which cost a few thousand yuan at most, are very popular in rural areas. It is not just rural areas. It will be a long time before motorcycles are banned in cities. Once the business is done, it can also expand into the urban market. That is really true.

Make a lot of money.

"Hearing you say that, I feel much more at ease." Xiaoga said with a smile.

Yang Dongxu's thoughts were basically the same as his, and he had completely given up on the mental arithmetic of investing in this business.

"Let me help you contact some reliable electric vehicle brands. Although this thing is not new now, it has a mixed bag of everything.

Doing business must be done for a long time, so the brand of products you choose is very important. Although the brand products are more expensive, the quality is guaranteed.

Because your business may be low in the early stage, but after the reputation is spread, the business will be fully opened and you won't have to worry about selling, after all, the quality is here." Yang Dongxu said.

"Thank you very much. Although I also sell cars, agricultural machinery and electric vehicles are equivalent to boasting about the industry. I just want to pay some tuition and learn slowly. You can save me a lot of time by helping me."

"Yes." Xiaoga quickly lit up his eyes and kept thanking him.

"Then you should treat me to a nice meal when you have time." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"That's a must!"
