Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

"Grandma, our family will return to Beiliao from Longjiang in two years' time. At that time, I will take you and my old uncle and aunt to Hongya to enjoy the blessings, okay?"

When he saw how poor his grandma's life was, Wan Feng came up with the idea of ​​taking his uncle's family to Hongya.

Relocation across provinces is difficult and he doesn't have that much energy, but relocation in this province is much easier, and both are agricultural cooperatives, so he thinks it is not too difficult.

"Stupid child, grandma is already looking at someone in her 70s, and she won't be alive for a few days. The old saying goes that the homeland is hard to leave. Grandma was born here, of course she will be buried here in the future, and she doesn't want to go anywhere."

"What are you talking about! Grandma, you can live for at least 30 years, and you still have a lot of blessings to enjoy. The development in Hongya is very good. I will take you there when I have summer vacation next summer."

Grandma died at the age of 85 in the previous life. Wan Feng said that grandma could live for 30 years, which is nonsense, but there is no problem in living another 20 years.

"Grandma, this old bone can't stand tormenting anymore, as long as you live well, grandma will be at ease." At this point, grandma wiped the corners of her eyes.

Grandma has six men, women and children, three men and three women.

Two of the three sons are left in front of Longjiang's eyes, and only one youngest son is left.

The three daughters are far away, one is in Qiqihar, one is in Neimen Province, and the other is far away in Western Liaoning even if they stay in Beiliao.

Wan Feng's uncle and aunt are both in Qiqihar, and it takes many years to come back.

After being reborn, Wan Feng understood the hardships that grandma had suffered all her life.

Missing her children whom she hasn't seen for so many years is enough to make her gray hair.

It is impossible for Wan Feng to gather all her children around her old man, but he can still do his filial piety by his grandma's side in the future.

Because there were four more people, grandma made another round of pancakes when they met again.

Northern and southern Liaoning also used corn as their staple food, and corn cakes were the standard configuration at that time.

"This is the condition of our family, and there is nothing to eat. I can only apologize when your friend comes."

"Grandma, we usually only eat pancakes and cabbage. We are all rural people, so don't worry about it." Wan Feng comforted the aggrieved grandma.

A few bicycle bells rang outside the gate, and a half-new bicycle stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

The man on the bike got out of the car and stopped in front of the door. The middle-aged woman sitting on the back seat of the bicycle jumped out of the bicycle and pushed open the courtyard door.

The man pushed the bicycle into the yard.

This is a man about forty years old, wearing a blue cotton cap and half-padded jacket, his appearance is somewhat similar to Wan Feng's father.

"Your uncle and your aunt are back."

When grandma said this, Wan Feng had already left the house, and smiled warmly at the man who entered the yard, "Old uncle and aunt, you are back!"

Wan Shuiming looked at Wan Feng unblinkingly at the sudden appearance of a young man in his home, "You are..."

"Uncle, I am your nephew Wan Feng."

Wan Shuiming pointed at Wan Feng with his right hand but did not speak, as if he was remembering.

"You are Xiaofeng? Let me think about it, when was the last time you came here? It seems to be fifteen or sixteen years ago, I can't imagine that you are so tall now?"

Wan Shuiming didn't have any doubts. Their Wan family's genetics were relatively strong, and both men and women were somewhat similar in appearance.

As soon as he saw Wan Feng, he was almost sure that the other party was from the Wan family.

The last time Wan Feng came, Wan Shuiming was still in his twenties, a middle school sophomore, and unmarried.

In a blink of an eye, the time has passed and the sea has changed. He is now the father of two children, and the naughty boy who didn't know anything back then has become a man of indomitable spirit.

"When did you come?"

"It's been less than half an hour since we arrived."

"How did you find it here?"

"I know the address, I asked all the way."

"Oh! Seeing you grow up, I feel like I'm really getting old now." Wan Shuiming sighed.

Old in your thirties?

Wan Shuiming stood his bicycle against the wall.

"Hello old aunt!" Wan Feng respectfully greeted the woman who followed Wan Shuiming into the yard.

The old aunt is also in her thirties, and she was quite pretty when she was young, and she doesn't look ugly now, but the hardships of life make her look a little old.

The old aunt's attitude towards Wan Feng was very kind.

"Is it the boss of the elder brother's family? This is the first time I have seen it."

"It's the eldest brother's family." Wan Shuiming corrected his wife's mistake.

"Xiaofeng, right? Sit in the house, and I'll cook." The old aunt rolled up her sleeves and started cooking with grandma, while Wan Shuiming dragged Wan Feng into the house, and was surprised once he entered the house.

There were three young men sitting on the kang in the room, and all three of them stood up when they entered the room.

Wan Shuiming looked at Wan Feng suspiciously.

"This is my uncle. These three are my friends. This is Li Yong. You have to call my uncle brother."

Li Yong is not as old as Wan Shuiming, so it is no problem to call him brother.

"Hello, Brother Wan." Although Li Yong is only a physical education teacher, he still understands the basic etiquette, and shook hands with Wan Shuiming enthusiastically.

"This is He Xiao, this is Li Mingdou, my brother, you have to call my uncle uncle." After introducing Li Yong, Wan Feng introduced He Xiao and Li Mingdou.

He Xiao and Li Mingdou couldn't shake hands but respectfully said "Hi Uncle Wan!"

"Okay, sit down, you're welcome, my house is like a kennel, please don't dislike me."

Only then did Wan Shuiming see a pile of gifts on the top of the kang.

"Nephew, it's not the old uncle who criticizes you. The old uncle's place is just like your own home. Doesn't it seem unnatural for you to bring so many gifts?"

Wan Feng just laughed, and sat down next to Wan Shuiming to chat with Wan Shuiming.

Through chatting, I learned that Wan Shuiming’s family has contracted more than ten acres of land, and can earn hundreds of dollars a year. The brigade has a grass curtain workshop, and the couple work in this workshop through relationships. Earning a few bucks.

"It's much better now than before. I used to work for a year and often came back with a ration. Now, as long as I farm for about a year, I can still get a hundred and eighty dollars a year. Your old aunt and I can still get a year in the straw curtain factory." Come back at the age of 180, and now life can be regarded as promising."

The old man was satisfied with an income of more than two hundred yuan a year, which made Wan Feng feel sore.

"Uncle, have you ever thought about leaving here to develop elsewhere?"

"Leave?" Wan Shuiming shook his head.

"My uncle has lived here all his life, and he has hardly left. The farthest place he has been to is Changtu County. How do we leave?"

"I can transfer you to a place with better conditions."

Wan Shuiming pondered for a while and then shook his head, "I can't live without it. The gold and silver nests are not as good as my own kennel. The old uncle is used to living here, and besides, the ancestral graves are all here and I can't leave."

It is hard to leave the homeland, and no matter how good the outside world is, it is not as good as the mountains and rivers of the hometown. This is the truth that has been passed down by the Chinese people for thousands of years.
