Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The day before New Year's Eve, the market was extremely busy. People who had stocked up on a lot of new year's goods at home always felt that something was missing, so they always wanted to go to the market and bring something back to feel comfortable.

Yang Dongxu, who was settling accounts, suddenly heard someone calling him upstairs: "Brother, call me."

Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment and handed the account book in his hand to his eldest sister and ran upstairs, thinking: "Will you call me when you go to bed at this time?"

"Hello!" Yang Dongxu took the phone and said.

"Xu... Xuzi, the fight is... starting." Wu Aibing's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who is fighting with whom?" Yang Dongxu looked confused, and then his eyes suddenly widened when he thought of something: "You mean the United States and Iraq are fighting?"

"Yes, yes..." Wu Aibing said hurriedly.

"Will Uncle Du and the others be okay?" Yang Dongxu's heart was lifted.

As the United States continues to gather the forces of its allies, and Iraq continues to occupy Kuwait, it seems that the entire Middle East is shrouded in the haze of war. Therefore, mercenaries from all over the world are gathering in the Middle East, because they can only make money by fighting wars, so Dusuo

No one would notice them in the Middle East, so they are always active in the Middle East.

"No, it's okay. I just came back from the Soviet Union and talked to them on the phone. They are far away from where the war broke out and will not be involved in the war."

In fact, the war did not just break out today, but started yesterday. When Wu Aibing received the news, his first thought was not to report to Yang Dongxu, but to run to the Soviet Union as if he had been hit by an arrow in the butt.

Although there were people in the Middle East in the country, the phone line was obviously not accessible to Wu Aibing, and the embassy was crowded at this time, so he simply took a plane to the Soviet Union to contact Du Suo, who had just confirmed that

After hearing the news that Du Suo was safe and okay, he called Yang Dongxu.

"As long as it's okay, let them pay attention to their own safety and don't go to the battlefield. If the Americans drive Iraq out of Kuwait, the Kuwaiti royal family should be in urgent need of mercenaries to maintain their power. We can let them have proper contact." Listen.

Yang Dongxu also breathed a sigh of relief when Du Suo was fine.

In fact, he wanted to fly directly to the Middle East at this time, because oil has always been something he has never forgotten. If he could contact the royal family in the Middle East to acquire some oil fields at this time, it would be a huge benefit to him and the country.

It's a pity that no one he knows has connections in the Middle East. Without the introduction, he wants to meet the royal family of the Middle East, or the royal family of Kuwait, whose country is occupied. With Du Suo's hundreds of mercenaries as a support, others won't even pay attention.

I'll pinch him.

So all we can do now is to make arrangements in advance. Even if we can no longer enter the market immediately, we still need to cultivate the relationship between the two parties. Even if we become familiar faces, we will have a line that we can use when the situation permits in the future, right?

After hanging up Wu Aibing's call, Yang Dongxu picked up the phone and wanted to call his godfather Zhou Yiren, but he stopped as soon as he dialed a few numbers.

Wu Aibing knew about the attack in the Middle East earlier than he did, and Zhou Yiren would definitely know about it earlier. It is estimated that he knew about it as soon as the war there broke out.

After knowing about it, he didn't contact him, which shows that Zhou Yiren felt that even telling him would be of no use, so there was no contact. Thinking of this, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling that he was really being regarded as a dish.

Action has already been taken over there. All the countries paying attention to things here are very nervous and paying attention to the war situation, but they are more or less relieved in their hearts. After all, the hanging sword has been swung and it is fine to wait and see the result. Compared with it

It's better to always be in suspense and not know when it will fall.

Yang Dongxu had made it clear to Zhou Yiren before about his views on the outbreak of war in the Middle East. Now that the war has broken out, not even the country, let alone him, can intervene. There is no difference between telling him and not telling him.

"My shoulders are too small now to carry big things." Yang Dongxu hung up the phone and shook his head.

I'm sure Du Suo is fine. The war in the Middle East has nothing to do with Yang Dongxu. It concerns things that I can't interfere with at all. It's better to care about the pig farm after the year, or the greenhouse in the second half of next year.

How to get vegetables is more meaningful.

"What's going on?" Yang's mother couldn't help but ask when she saw her son coming down.

"It's nothing, just a classmate calling to say goodbye." Yang Dongxu said.

"It's quite early." It's the morning of New Year's Eve to say New Year's greetings. It's really not that early. But Yang Ma just said that her attention is not here. There are so many people shopping in front of the door now.

, he didn’t care at all who called his son, he just asked casually.

...

The flavor of the New Year in rural areas is generally better than that in cities, let alone the flavor of the New Year in this era. I haven't heard the crackling of firecrackers since I just came back from visiting the grave.

A group of little kids in the village were randomly picking up unexploded firecrackers at the door of each house, stripping out the gunpowder and pouring them into long strips to play with.

And people like Yang Dongxu, who is already considered old enough to get married, naturally won’t pick up guns. Instead, after dinner early, those who have money will kick out a piece of eighty cents in their pockets, and those who have no money will get a few cents.

People gathered at the granary to play cards.

The TV set in Yang Dongxu's house was moved down from upstairs. At this time, many women from the village had gathered in the yard. Although life in Yangjia Village has improved a lot in recent years, only those who can afford a TV set

There are only a few families here in the market.

Men run to the granary to play cards, and women naturally prefer to watch TV together. Especially the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve is particularly attractive to them, so in addition to women, some men who don't like playing cards, or

Some elderly people also finished their meals early and were waiting in the yard.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After dinner, Yang Dongxu began to borrow big benches from each family. People are watching TV. You can't let everyone stand in the yard, right?

There were dozens of people filling the yard with their own benches. It was definitely not enough, so they had to borrow them. With the addition of some people who came to watch TV and consciously brought benches, there was barely enough space for everyone.

sit.

There were no nuts or anything on display. It was too expensive and Ma Yang felt bad for it. A big bag of melon seeds was placed at the door for anyone to eat and grab. It was enough to leave a good reputation. There was no need to go overboard.

Yang Dongxu was smacking melon seeds in his mouth and sitting on a stool to watch TV. Although the cold wind outside was biting, it was actually quite warm with dozens of people crowded in the small courtyard. As long as he didn't get sucked in by a group of gentlemen.

Yan, he felt that watching the Spring Festival Gala was actually pretty good.

"Xu Zi is coming out to play." Xiao Wu's shout came from the door not long after he sat down.

In fact, at this time, televisions were more attractive to people than gambling cards. As soon as villages in Shiliba heard that there were movies showing there, it was common for them to move a small stool for several miles, or even more than ten miles to watch a movie.

things.

"Come in and find a place to sit, the Spring Festival Gala will be held later." Yang Dongxu turned around and responded to the door.

In this way, Xiao Wu and others were a little hesitant. They had saved their money for several months and were waiting to have fun today. However, the Spring Festival Gala was also very attractive to them, so they were a little confused for a while.

"You go play with them. You don't like watching TV anyway." Yang's mother, who had just tidied up the kitchen, said.

Yang Dongxu looked at his mother with a confused look on her face. This is not her mother's character. Now Xiao Wuji and others are shouting that they must have gone to the granary to gamble. According to their mother's temperament, Xiao Wuji should not let Xiao Wuji

Is it a normal script for individuals to come in and watch TV?

"Your father was called away by your uncle just now. Go over and keep an eye on him."

have to!

Yang Dongxu instantly found the reason why his mother was different from usual at this moment. She wanted him to go over and look at his father and brother-in-law. Since his mother said so, Yang Dongxu had no choice but to get up and come out from the crowd, and then walked upstairs.

"Why go?"

"Get some money." Yang Dongxu responded. There was still ten yuan in the down jacket upstairs. This was the New Year's money given by my mother just now. Since I went there, I naturally wanted to see if I could play with it.

After coming down to watch TV among the crowd, it was more comfortable to wrap up his coat and wear a Lei Feng hat, so he changed out of his down jacket just now. As for the change of a hundred yuan when he first came back, his mother had already replaced it.

It was taken away in his name.

"What kind of money do you want? Your dad must have a lot of money in his pocket and go over there and ask him for it." Yang's mother glanced at her son. Although her expression was normal, she was definitely angry in her heart.

Ma Yang would be unhappy no matter whether she won or lost in card gambling. What's more, she must have gambled a lot today. It would be strange if she was happy. However, Father Yang is very conscious throughout the year and basically doesn't know how to play cards. He only plays when he catches up with the game.

After a few games, someone gave up their spot for others to play.

During the off-farm time, I didn’t get together with other people either playing cards or riding horses. Instead, I drove around in four-wheelers to haul things and do business to make money, so although Yang’s father went to play cards today, Yang’s mother felt a little sulky.

But it won't be like before when the couple would quarrel whenever Yang's father plays cards. Now the most they can do is come back and chatter a few words. Yang's father seems to have figured out Yang's mother's temper, so today when his younger brother joined the army and came to call him

, didn’t say anything and went over with some money.

"Okay." Yang Dongxu was a little speechless when he heard his mother's words.

If you're not happy, you can just stop letting your dad play, and now you have to go and be a spy yourself. But it is such trivial things, whether happy or unhappy, that make up most of the life of ordinary people.

When he walked to the door, Yang Dongxu put several handfuls of melon seeds into his pocket. The most likely way to be a spy for his mother was to watch from the side, because when dad served the table, the uncle would definitely be there to help. If the uncle served the table, dad would be there.

Help, he couldn't even find a place to help, so he could only stand by and eat melon seeds.

"Catch some. Let's play with each other while we look at the cards later." After he had caught Yang Dongxu, he motioned to Xiaowu and others to grab some.

A bag of melon seeds weighs fifty kilograms. Although there are dozens of people in the yard, there is still half a bag of melon seeds left at this time. Compared with later news reports, as soon as they heard that it was free, they would rush to grab it regardless of whether it was useful to them or not.

scene.

The people who come to watch TV are all from the same neighborhood, and they are very self-conscious. Basically, everyone just pays attention to it, and stuffs their big pockets and small pockets full, and when they get home, they take them out and run around to refill them.

Once or something.

So when you come in, the adults grab a few, and if you have children, put a handful in their pockets, and then go in and find a seat to watch TV. At the same time, you grab a handful of the kids who are still trying to grab them and give them a warning with their eyes, "If you dare,"

If you embarrass me here, you will be hanged and beaten when you go back.
