Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 6 Slingshot

Yang Dongxu has three grandfathers and brothers, as well as an older sister and a younger sister. Among the three brothers, Yang Dongxu’s second grandfather is the most promising and is still serving in the army.

If China is divided into four corners: east, west, north and south, Yang Dongxu's second grandfather has never been to the west except the west. Yang Dongxu's second grandfather served as a soldier in the remaining triangles, but his position was never high. In the words of Yang Dongxu's second grandfather: "I actually followed him for the first half of my life.

Large troops roamed all over China, neither taking advantage nor suffering any loss."

Yang Dongxu's great-grandmother and great-grandfather died early, and there was no condition to arrange a marriage at first. When conditions improved and he was able to arrange a marriage, his grandfather was already in his thirties.

The young grandfather has a stubborn temper and is unwilling to marry a widow, but in this era when people get married at 17 or 18, or even at 15 or 16, who has a girl in her thirties?

In Yang Dongxu's memory, his young grandfather was still a bachelor until his death. Two years later, when society gradually liberalized, he gave up his current job and went sailing under the pressure of the neighbors.

After earning some money, his standard of living was pretty good throughout his life, and he lived a very comfortable life in Yang Dongxu's eyes. However, it might be a bit miserable for him to die without his biological children to support him in his old age.

Yang Dongxu's grandfather only had four daughters and no sons. Among them, his mother and aunt were his biological children, and his aunt and second aunt were brought here by his grandmother when he fled.

So in addition to the capable second grandfather who found a wife on his own, Yang Dongxu's grandfather also married a widow. Such things were very common in this era. Until the death of his young grandfather, Yang Dongxu couldn't figure out why he insisted not to marry a widow.

Yang Xudong ran to the farm tool house of the threshing floor at the west end of the village and saw his little grandpa taking a nap. He ran over and called him "little grandpa." The thirty-year-old grandpa put Yang Dongxu on his neck and started to play with him.

In his previous life, he had a good relationship with his little grandpa, especially when he was a child, his second grandpa's family no longer lived here, his eldest aunt's son was older than Yang Dongxu's father, and his second aunt's family usually ate commercial food in the city and never came back.

The first child on the aunt's side is still a daughter. As for the son on the aunt's side and the second aunt's side, the grandpa doesn't pay much attention to it. So Yang Dongxu, the little grandson, has become his darling. He will give him whatever he wants. He is better than Yang Dongxu's biological grandfather.

They all need to be pampered a lot.

"Little grandpa, slingshot, slingshot..." Although he knew that although his little grandpa was a little short, he was very strong, and his legs would not fall if they were held by his big hands, but he still couldn't help but hug him.

The little grandpa yelled on his forehead.

Slingshot! Yes, this is the reason why Yang Dongxu came to see his little grandpa. Not only does his little grandpa take care of the farm tool house in Ran Youfang, he usually works in the countryside, repairing bicycles.

Don't look at it. It's just a bicycle repair, not a car. Compared with the cars of later generations, the social status of bicycles at this time is not low at all. It is definitely a rarity for any family to have a bicycle. So my grandpa is definitely a skilled worker.

Although the young grandfather in his thirties is not a gangster, he is a bit playful because he is single. He has the guns of the militia brigade, but Yang Xudong obviously cannot have that, so he can only retreat and ask for a slingshot.

The slingshot can be said to be an artifact in the hands of children in this era. The slingshot bag can be barely used by sewing rags together. The slingshot stand can be made of wood, but rubber bands are not so easy to get.

This rubber band is not the kind of rubber band that girls use to tie their hair, but a small section of rubber band used on bicycle pumps. This is an excellent material for making slingshots.

Yang Dongxu's grandpa's slingshot was made of this rubber band, and his first slingshot was given to him by his grandpa. But that was when he was over nine years old.

"Here, but you can't pull it open." The little grandpa bent down and took out a slingshot from under his pillow.

There are three rubber bands on one side of the slingshot to form six lines, and the two sides add up to 12 lines. The short-range power of this thing is about the same as that of bullets. The heads of pheasants and wild ducks can be exploded with one slingshot.

The little hand took a slingshot and pulled it. The strength of the 12 rubber bands was indeed beyond the strength of Yang Dongxu, who was less than six years old. Even though he was a rural child, he was usually very strong.

But this was not for his own use, he took it back for his father to use. Yang Dongxu’s father, Yang Ru, married his mother when he was just over seventeen years old.

My mother is three years older than my father, and has been married for just over eight years now, which means that my father is only twenty-five years old now. What can a twenty-five-year-old do in the future? He has just graduated from college a few years ago, that is, he is still

The age of tempering in society.

Although he has become a father at such an old age in the countryside, he still loves to play. In summer, when he swims in the river and competes and chases with people from the same village, Yang Dongxu's father is never missing.

Yang Dongxu still swam every summer when he was in elementary school. It wasn't until his father was in his thirties that he became more steady.

Of course, this slingshot was not brought back for my father to show off. It was used to deal with pheasants and wild ducks. Although there are many wild animals now, weasels and even weasels are running around the house to catch mice. But even if the wild animals are a little stunned, they are not

Silly, if you catch it, it will definitely run away.

Although the rural people have good physical strength, it is impossible to catch up with the pheasants that spread their wings and fly from time to time in the wilderness and the wild ducks in the river. Although Yang Dongxu's grandpa can borrow the gun of the famous army for a few days, he obviously cannot give it to his father.

Play.

Moreover, his father's slingshot skills can be said to be perfect, but Yang Dongxu doesn't know how good his shooting skills are. As for him knowing that his father's slingshot skills are superb, it is naturally because Yang Dongxu's first slingshot has not been played as much as his father's.

reason.

He was already nine years old, and his father actually snatched his toys. Meeting such an unreliable father made him cry just thinking about it.

After playing around for a while, the little grandpa wanted to put away the slingshot. After all, it was one of his artifacts to show off. The grandpa had already shouted for dinner. But when Yang Dongxu asked for it, he burst into tears. After trying it twice, the little grandpa also

Just gave up.

Anyway, Yang Dongxu won't go home until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. He may even play here for two days without going home. He can coax him down by using candy or getting a small wooden knife or something. There is no need to mess with him at this time.

The child cries.

After lunch, my mother took my little sister and went to visit the neighbors. The little sister was only three years old and came to a relatively unfamiliar place. Naturally, her mother had to take her with her. He, an older brother, couldn't coax her.

The little grandpa carried Yang Dongxu to the farm tool house. After a while, he got on the horse with an old man from the same village. He glanced at Yang Dongxu who had the slingshot hanging around his neck. The little kids around him wouldn't touch him no matter how much they coaxed him.

, could only hang on his neck and watch, and even waved his fists to beat him and cry.

The little grandpa was completely relieved, so he started to push the horse with all his strength. He must beat the little old man opposite him to the ground. He dared to challenge his own horse-fighting skills, especially when Yang Dongxu came over to cheer for his little grandpa.

Come on, even if you are my sixth uncle, you can't show mercy.

"Little grandpa, I'm going back to my grandpa's house to play. Hurry up and defeat the sixth grandpa to come and play with me." Yang Dongxu shouted to the little grandpa who was chasing after a few kids.

"Well, I'll be there in a minute. Don't lose the slingshot." The little grandpa waved his hand without raising his head.

"I said Trumpet (little grandpa's nickname), you can't win this set." The sixth grandpa, who had already lost two games and had a pipe in his mouth, immediately became upset when he heard Yang Dongxu's shout and the little grandpa's response.

Agreed.

Originally, he was a bit disgraced when his horse-instrumentation skills were lost to a junior, not to mention being despised by a child.

"So what if you lose this set, you've already lost two sets." The little grandpa still didn't give face to his sixth uncle, the same clan.

"Little grandpa, run away, the sixth grandpa is going to beat someone up if he loses." Before the sixth grandpa could say anything, Yang Dongxu started to make noises next to him again.

A group of neighbors who were watching laughed loudly.

Seeing that there was really no hope of winning this game, the little grandpa threw away the stick in his hand and prepared to get up and walk around with Yang Dongxu, or go to the countryside to buy some sweets for him to eat. Besides holding a slingshot, his little grandson had no one

Even if you don't let him touch you, if you say something that makes him so happy, he must be rewarded.

"The first step doesn't count. Don't leave. Let's play a few more games. I still don't believe it." Seeing that the young grandpa wanted to leave, the sixth great-grandfather naturally didn't want to.

"The next few games will be the same. Today you have to believe in Xie." The little grandpa, who had just left the ground with his buttocks, sat back down again. He must prove his horse-riding skills to see who would dare to question his young skills in the future.

Seeing that it was impossible for his little grandpa to leave here in a short time, Yang Dongxu grinned and ran towards his grandpa's house accompanied by a few little kids.

"Dad, I want to go home." Yang Dongxu shouted loudly when he ran to his grandfather's house.

"Going back to what home? You were clamoring at home to come, and when you came, you came back and made you angry." Yang Dongxu's father glared at Yang Dongxu without hesitation. If his grandfather hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have slapped him on the butt.

Up.

"Xu Zi, come on, grandma here has rock candy." Grandma Yang Dongxu waved to him.

Yang Dongxu's grandmother was an old lady with small feet. It was obviously not good to be born in this era. After all, only ladies from wealthy families had their feet bound.

"No, I want to go home." Yang Dongxu endured the cold and began to act coquettishly.

"You're really shaking the world." Father Yang stood up with a cry, reaching out to grab Yang Dongxu and slap him on the butt.

"Anyway, it's nothing. If he wants to go back, just go back and spank the child." Grandpa, who had been silent for a long time, glared. In this era, intergenerational kisses are also very popular, not to mention that grandpa only has Yang Dongxu, his eldest grandson.

.

After being glared at by his grandfather, Yang Dongxu's father naturally lost his temper instantly. However, the look he looked at his son was obviously unfriendly, and he was ready to find an opportunity to repair this kid.

The conversation was almost over. Although it was still early, it was still around two o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Dongxu was asked to call his mother while he packed his things and prepared to leave.

When he was holding Yang Dongxu and preparing to leave, his father was stunned for a moment when he saw the slingshot around his neck, and then said: "Leave the slingshot to your little grandpa."
