Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Compared with later generations who usually went out to work on the seventh or eighth day of the lunar month, now they go out to work later. Basically, they go out one after another after celebrating the Lantern Festival at home.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Yang family gathers for a party. Theater troupes from out of town, as well as entertainment companies that usually don’t see a large number of people buying cloth, jade, various hoops, or air guns and balloons, gather for three days.

Appeared on Yangjiaji.

These three days are also the busiest time to go to the market in Shilibaxiang. Some schools will even have a holiday because of this festival. The older children choose to play air rifle or billiards.

The younger children gathered under the stage, where there were some stalls selling small toys. These small toys included some plates that were unclear whether they were jade or plastic, and yellow iron pieces that shook their heads to make turtles in boxes.

etc.

Children who have a little money usually hold candied haws in their hands, or go to the turntable to make rice balls. Those who have a little more money buy a heart-shaped pendant that costs one yuan each and hang it around their necks.

These heart-shaped pendants are said to be jade, but I can’t tell whether they are made of jade or plastic. After wearing them for a while, some strange patterns will appear inside, such as small crabs, small shrimps, or other strange patterns, and then I will say this

When the jade is alive, it can be used as a shield for evacuation and so on, and it can be brought to life with some stories told by adults to children.

In addition to these traditional gadgets, this year the Yang family gathered an acrobatic troupe that they had hired from who knows where. A group of people on high heels walked from one end of the market to the other in a crowded market, with many people chasing after them.

Extremely lively.

The Yang's Wholesale Department, which is usually closed at this time of year, will also open its doors during these three days. First, a batch of goods will be purchased unexpectedly, and then they will be sold during these three days. What can be sold will be sold out, and what cannot be sold will be kept.

Use it yourself, and if you can't use it up, give some to neighbors and friends, or take some to relatives when visiting relatives. In short, it will be digested in a short time.

Because Yang Dongxu attended many weddings after the New Year, and also went to Jiaocheng to visit pharmaceutical factories, and to Zhucheng to attend a preparatory meeting for the opening of a traditional Chinese medicine school, he did not return to Yanjing or Hangzhou when he was about to turn 15.

Then, with the addition of relatives coming to attend the party, the Yang family would definitely let them have dinner. In this way, the Yang family was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year, and all the relatives came together at once.

With Xiaowu and the others holding cigarettes in their mouths, we wandered from Jibeitou to Jinantou, and then from Jidongtou to Jidongtou. Although we talked and laughed all the way without causing trouble, we always gave people a very arrogant feeling.

An untouchable feeling.

In fact, if you go to other markets while walking and smoking like this, you will easily get beaten. The folk customs nowadays are very tough. After all, there are many thieves in rural areas now, and from time to time, there are cases where a big hole is dug into the back of a house and cattle and sheep are taken away.

And if a thief comes into the village in the middle of the night, shout out at the top of one's voice and the whole village will get up. Those holding a webbing will pick up a webbing, and those holding a goat's fork will chase the thief for miles. So when you encounter such a person in the market,

It doesn't look like a flat one, but there are a lot of little guys who start working on it even if they don't agree with each other.

But in Yangjiaji, obviously no one dares to do anything to these arrogant guys like Xiao Wu. Yang Dongxu may be strange to many people. But Xiao Wu, who has grown up in the market since childhood, is obviously known to everyone, and they do evil things.

Although they have never done anything like this, they have such a good reputation that no one dares to provoke him.

For those who don't know them, they look at this huffing and puffing group of six or seven young men who are all the same regardless of their acquaintance or physical abilities. They don't have the guts to find trouble.

"You think if I don't go out anymore, how about setting up dozens of pool tables?" After not hitting a shot, Da Liang put down his cue and took a bite of the sugar cane next to him.

"It's okay to do it at the end of the year. At other times, there are only people during the wheat field and autumn planting period. At other times, most of the people have gone out to work and no one can play." Yang Dongxu took a shot.

He has basically never played billiards, so his skills are so poor that it makes people speechless. Therefore, he can only use his strength to make a miracle with one stroke. It is full of force. Whether he can score or not depends on God's will.

"Normally there aren't many people. Besides, when we gathered this thing, there were three or four of them on the open space in front of almost a store. It was very lively these two days, and usually there weren't many people at all. Why don't you go to the town and be close to the school to do this?

Let's get a game console room somewhere. If you have enough money for that stuff, you may not be able to get in line after school." Xiao Wu came up with an idea from the side.

"It's true that this can be done, but it won't make much money. Even if there are people in the town, they have to take care of things all year round and don't have much money left." Regardless of whether it will poison the next generation of the motherland, the future of the game console room is obvious.

Much better than the billiards room.

"Forget it, let's not do it. When you defraud children of their money, be careful when the old man slaps them with the soles of his shoes." Daliang put down the sugar cane in his hand and bent down to start playing ball.

"Then we won't do it." Xiao Wu waved his hand indifferently. Yangjiacun had plenty of ways to make money, so there was no need to get a bad reputation.

"Haha, some little brothers are playing ball here." A middle-aged man with a fat body and a bald head came over and took out his cigarettes to disperse them.

"Three Hongs are doing well, and they have smoked all the way to Huangshan." Later generations said that good cigarettes were all Chinese.

Although there is China now, Huangshan is even more famous. "A good Huangshan, the sky is high and the clouds are light." Many people think this is the slogan of the scenic Huangshan. In fact, it was printed on Huangshan cigarette boxes and became widely circulated.

"It's a small business, it's a small business. I just hang down below and have a sip of soup. You guys can play with me while I go to the front to take a look." Sanhong smiled, lit cigarettes for several people, said hello, turned around and left.

San Hong is the same age as their fathers, and he has a bad reputation because he has been in the labor camp. He is also considered a celebrity in the countryside. To be able to humbly interact with several young people like this, you have to say that he can get along well.

It doesn't make sense.

"He is still dumping fertilizer?" Sanhong is not from Yangjia Village, but he bought a house on the street a few years ago.

As Yangjiaji became more and more prosperous, many people came to do business there, and there were only two or three companies selling fertilizers and seeds, or making cement, sand and gravel.

"Fertilizers are still being poured out, but the main thing is to send bricks to people. Does the kiln factory in Xu Village know about it? He doesn't know where he got the connection, sending red bricks and dumping earthwork."

Yang Dongxu nodded, there is indeed money to get this thing. In the last life, Father Yang drove a four-wheeler with his uncle's son, and he also gave people red bricks for building houses for several years. Ten yuan a day was enough.

Feed a family.

"It seems like something happened again." Daliang frowned.

Yang Dongxu raised his head and glanced at him.

"The kiln factory is located on the river beach upstream. It was originally a wasteland and no one wanted it. Now you can make money by opening a brick factory. Several nearby villages have started to make money and there have been many fights."

"The town doesn't care?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Why don't you care? The last time there was a fight, all the city's police cars came. There were more than a dozen police cars? But there is a point. When the police came, the people in the village went back to their homes and didn't make any trouble at all. They gathered together as soon as they left.

Let’s have a fight.”

Although there are a few local gangsters who are doing well in Wuli Town, they don't have a very strong clan power. So there is no patriarchal family law.

But now that the law is not universal, in addition to killing people, most of the time, farmers are accustomed to using their fists to resolve conflicts. The village that is united will benefit more from the village that has bigger fists. On the contrary, in your village

If you don't have the ability, you will have to endure the consequences.

"He came to talk to Grandpa?" asked Yang Dongxu, who also grew up in a rural area and understood immediately as soon as Da Liang explained.

"Looking for Uncle Shengli."

"My brother-in-law?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment and obviously didn't respond.

"Grandpa is already old and confused, so he can still take care of things. Although eldest father has become the village chief, he only cares about the affairs of our village. He can't reach out to Xu Village. Listen to eldest father's reputation.

Maybe I'll give him a little face, but he'll be a little worse at handling things. Uncle Shengli knows a lot of friends in town and city, so Sanhong and others will come to him whenever they encounter anything."

"Ha, my brother-in-law is doing well when he's not at home all year round." Yang Dongxu laughed, not sure whether it was pride or sarcasm.

"He probably didn't recognize you. If he recognizes you, talking to you will probably be more useful than talking to Uncle Shengli." Xiao Wu interjected.

Although they knew very well what Yang Dongxu was doing outside of college besides going to college, and they were all in their twenties, not to mention they were all smart, but none of them were stupid.

From the fact that Yangjiacun encountered so many things, basically whoever caused trouble for the breadwinner was in trouble, and even the town cadres were not able to help, we knew that they, who had not grown up together, must be doing well. And even if they were doing well,

No, there are rumors that his godfather, who is a high-ranking official in Yanjing, has a name that few people dare to mess with.

"Okay, don't put your hat on me. It's getting late. My relatives should have gone back. I'll go home and take a look." Yang Dongxu put down his cue.

Because all the relatives who came to attend the meeting were brought with them, and they often came to Yangjiacun, Yang Dongxu didn't accompany him and let them play by themselves. It was almost noon now and they had probably gone home. He obviously couldn't wander outside.

.

"Okay, you can go back first. When are you leaving? If it's okay, let's get together as brothers." Xiao Wu asked.

"Just two days, I'll find time to go to my house for a drink." Father Yang's treat was Father Yang's treat. Although they sat at the same table and drank a lot at that time, it didn't count as a drinking place for several brothers, so it was definitely a treat.

Just drink it once.

"Don't go to your house. They can't let you go because Big Daddy is here. Let's go to the city to drink tomorrow night. Someone has opened a big place where you can sing. Let's go to Hoho."

"Okay." Yang Dongxu responded with a smile.

Some people say that with the development of the economy, those lavish entertainment venues are just rubbish businesses and have no effect on promoting the economy. But you have to admit that when there are more entertainment venues in a city, it is also evidence of economic prosperity.

Like Chengwang City, which is at the bottom of the third-tier cities, if there is no economic development, entertainment venues will not be able to open. Since it has opened, it means that the economy of Chengwang City has indeed been doing well in the past few years, even if it is not a blockbuster satellite launch

, but at least there is development in steady progress.
