Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Naturally, the way to bring two strangers into a relationship is to have a drink together. The way to bring a stranger into a family relationship is, naturally, to cook and eat together. Especially if they are starring in a hot pot dinner.

Although it's a little imperfect without goose intestines, duck blood, etc., the Yang family just slaughtered a sheep in the morning and had a lot of haggis, so the mutton hot pot naturally tastes great.

So the whole family gathered around the table and ate happily. Even the uncle, who always felt that this boy was not good enough for his niece, had a few drinks with Leehom Liu after eating happily. The uncle obviously has the potential to be a foodie,

As long as he can eat and drink well, everything is easy to discuss.

After a meal, the whole family had fun, watched TV for a while, and saw old man Xuan dozing off. Yang Dongxu sent him back to his room, and turned around to get foot-washing water, but found that Zhuo Qing'er had already entered the room with foot-washing water.

"I'm not too old to move yet. I'll do this myself." Old Man Xuan said.

In the past two days, apart from the fact that old man Xuan looked bad on the first day due to the fatigue of traveling all the way, he started to walk around Yangjiacun in high spirits on the second day.

At first, he was accompanied by Grandpa Yang Dongxu, and then he joined the army of old people in the village granary over the old house, smoking pipes, squatting down and riding horses, or several little old men fighting against landlords for no money.

Yes, who can't rob the landlord after losing three times? It can be said that he is having fun like an old child, and his complexion is even better than when he was in Yanjing.

"Can our dog chase rabbits?" Old Man Xuan couldn't help but ask after washing his feet and sitting in bed.

The heavy snow stopped for a while in the afternoon, but it started to snow before it got dark. It looks like it will probably continue all night, so the snow will be deep enough tomorrow to catch rabbits and pheasants.

"I don't know about this either. Let's take it out tomorrow and try it." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Their family keeps several large wolfdogs, but they are usually not released. They are kept in the pig farm and guarded. So he really doesn’t know if you can chase the rabbits away.

"Then try tomorrow. I haven't eaten wild rabbit for a long time." Old man Xuan took off his coat and got into bed.

"Okay." Yang Dongxu nodded obediently.

He knew that Old Man Xuan was not greedy, but that as Yanjing has developed faster and faster in recent years, the city seems to be getting bigger and more prosperous, but the space for people's activities has become more and more limited.

.

People of Old Man Xuan's age are not used to the fashionable life in big cities. Therefore, although the courtyard is large, his life is becoming more and more restricted. This time he returned to the countryside where the sky is bright and the land is spacious, and he suddenly felt a little free.

"If there's anything you're not used to, tell me if there's anything you're not used to." Yang Dongxu said to Zhuo Qing'er after exiting Old Man Xuan's room.

As an out-and-out Yanjing native, when Yang Dongxu came to Anhui Province, he was naturally not afraid that Zhuo Qing'er would be too cold and unable to adapt to the winter here. The main reason was that he was afraid that she would be unaccustomed to her living habits.

"It's okay, it's fine." Zhuo Qing'er took the footbath from Yang Dongxu's hand and walked toward the door, preparing to pour out the footwashing water.

There are no Internet cables in rural areas now, and even if there are Internet cables, current mobile phones cannot access the Internet, so there is no entertainment at night except watching TV at home and having children in bed.

It was just after dinner and it was getting dark. Xiaowu and Daliang wandered to the door of Yang's house and met Zhuo Qing'er who came out to pour water for washing feet. Both Xiaowu and Daliang looked a little reserved.

.

In this era when we are envious of eating commercial grains, rural people always feel that they are on a lower level when they meet city people. Of course, this low level is just because they feel that their wallets are not as strong as those of city people, and they lack a little confidence in speaking and doing things.

But if you really think that rural people are easy to play with, then no matter where you are from, if there is a lot of excitement, I will do it without any ambiguity.

"Xu Zi, are you going for a walk?" Xiao Wu called out as he stood at the door without entering.

"It's snowing so much that you can fool around wherever you go." Yang's mother, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, stuck her head out and shouted angrily.

Xiaowu and the others smiled and didn't care.

Yang Dongxu went into the house and changed into a pair of shoes, then put on his coat and walked out.

"Don't play too late." Seeing her son walking out, Yang's mother shouted again.

"It's okay, ma'am, there's no need to stay at home. If it's too late, let Xuzi come to my house to sleep." Da Liang said with a smile, and then four or five idle young people began to wander in the heavy snow.

"Xu Zi, is that your girlfriend?" Xiao Wu, who had just gone out, glanced at Zhuo Qing'er who entered the room, and said to Yang Dongxu with joy.

"Don't talk nonsense, that's my sister's friend. The two of them are doing business together." Yang Han took the cigarette handed over by Daliang and threw it into his mouth without lighting it. Several of them wrapped themselves in military coats and shrank their heads.

Started to wander in the heavy snow: "Where are we going?"

"How about we go to the granary and play some games?" Xiao Liang suggested.

I don’t know since when the granary in Yangjia Village started to gather a lot of card players after the slack season started in winter. In the past, during the slack period, people would play a few games during the day, but no one was there at night.

But now, no matter day or night, there are always people at the granary, and the gambling money has also changed from a few cents in the beginning to a few dollars now. On New Year's Eve, some people even played for dozens of dollars a hand, winning or losing.

At one time, it was higher than the monthly salary of a skilled worker in the city.

Of course, not everyone can afford to play in such a top card court. Those who can play in Yangjiacun can count them all on one hand, and Yang’s father and uncle Shengli must also be added. Others can only

If the people who promote Pai Gow among these people are trying to keep the door open and play along, they won't have that much money to occupy the pockets of the table.

However, it is estimated that a few more people will be needed to be able to play such a big game this year. After all, whether they are growing vegetables in greenhouses and producing them this year, or buying big trucks and transporting them with Shengli, the pockets this year are larger than those in previous years put together.

Drum, so it’s not even the New Year’s Eve yet, and the poker court here in the granary has already started to have a lot of fun.

"Forget it, I'm here with Big Daddy and the others. If we go to play, aren't we looking for trouble?" Xiao Wu shook his head.

Although you have already gone out and started earning money, you still feel like a child if you are not married and have children. Even if you are married and have children, if you do not separate the family, you still feel a little young and have not grown up.

So at this time, Yangjiacun was still dominated by the generation of Yang’s father. It would be okay for a few brats to join in and watch the fun, but it would be weird if they couldn’t help but play a few tricks without being punished.

Therefore, among the few people, except Yang Dongxu, there is no pressure to go to the granary at this time. Neither Yang's father nor his uncle will say anything. If they go, they will definitely be told that it is better not to go.

"How about going to town to play?" Xiao Tao said.

"Is the place in town set up again?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment and asked.

"What's so strange about this? It doesn't happen all year round. It's just not as public as before." Daliang said.

Yang Dongxu thought for a while and seemed to feel that he was too sensitive, whether now or in future generations, except for the years of severe crackdowns when many gangsters were in panic and kept their heads down all day long.

The rest of the time, whether there are rural or urban casinos, there are always casinos. The difference is only in the size and the degree of cancer. Just like the ones in rural granaries like Yangjia Village that are open all day long, let alone those in the towns.

"Then let's go now and play somewhere. If we get tired, I have a friend in the town. Let's go to his house and spend the night." Xiao Tao encouraged.

No matter where you play, you have to pay attention to your status. For example, in front of Zhuo Qing'er, the people from Xiaowu feel ashamed and dare not strike up a conversation. Likewise, people in the town look down on those in the countryside below.

However, Yangjiacun is an exception. After all, Yangjiacun is now a market, and everyone in the village knows that they have money. So when Xiaotao and others went to the town to attend junior high school, no child in the town dared to look down on them.

, naturally there are many that can be mixed together.

"Forget it, let's just take a walk. Many people in Zaozao Village are going to kill pigs tomorrow. They have to get up early and get busy in the morning." Yang Dongxu shook his head.

There is now more than half a foot of snow on the ground. It is impossible to drive to the town. Xiao Wu and others obviously have not thought of driving to the town, so the only possibility to get to the mayor is to walk on two feet.

past.

This is something that can only be done when you are very idle, but young people do it often. Yang Dongxu even thought of how many times in his previous life, he and people of the same age in the village were in such a heavy snow situation right now.

I walked to the city on two legs.

As a result, I felt too tired and sleepy in the middle of the night, and then a few people turned back and went home to sleep. Sometimes when they were halfway through and really didn't want to leave, they would find a straw pile to get into and sleep all night before coming back.

.....

"That's right. When I went out, my mother told me not to run too far. Tomorrow I would go to your pig farm to catch a pig and kill it." Jackpot ran over from nowhere and followed the team.

"I said, why are there so many people from other villages playing cards at the granary today? They are all waiting to kill the pigs tomorrow." Daliang looked surprised.

"Do many people often come to the village to play cards?" Yang Dongxu frowned and asked.

"Normally there are not as many as today, but on New Year's Eve there are definitely more than this year. In the nearby villages, there are many people who go out to work and earn money this year. If they don't have enough fun in their villages, and the town is too far away,

They must be gathering in some village."

"Is there someone running a show at the granary?" Yang Dongxu frowned even deeper.

Although it has been two days since he came back, Yang Dongxu has been too busy these two days and has not gone to the granary for a walk, so he really doesn't know the situation there.
