The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Yesterday was sunny and the sky was blue, but the next day it snowed again. Luckily, there are roads in and out of Yangjia Village. It is estimated that the other villages will have to hurry and leave their relatives as soon as possible after the new year, otherwise their feet will be muddy later.

I didn't drink at Yang's house last night, so Mama Yang and Zhou Ya had all their dishes ready to be fried. As a result, the general came to call someone and took Yang Dongxu away, so he had to bring a bottle of good wine to the general's house for a drink.

I drank a little too much and my head was foggy. But after washing his face and drinking a bowl of millet porridge, he was completely revived. Taking advantage of the snow on the road, I hurried to the farmhouse to pick up the three old men.

Because the snow seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, I rushed back without having lunch at the farmhouse.

"Why did you bring so many things back? There are so many things at home and you can't finish them all." Watching Yang Dongxu start to move things from the trunk of the car, Yang's mother blamed and handed the little Wenchen in her arms to Zhou Ya Want to come and help.

"Hold it, Mom, I'll just move it." Zhou Ya pushed her son back and helped Yang Dongxu move things.

"Xiao Cheng said that he would do business for today, but there were no customers due to the heavy snow. The door will not open until the sixth day of the new year. Some dishes are left there and it is not easy to serve. After the year, we must buy fresh ones, so let me Pulled some back.

It's not just me, when he went, he was stacking some dishes for the chefs and waiters to take back. "Yang Dongxu said while moving things.

Most of them are fresh vegetables, which are freshly bought and ready to be used for business today. Now that he didn't need it, he asked his brother-in-law to bring some back. Besides vegetables, there were also some fish and a few soft-shelled turtles.

The Yang family opened their own pig farm, and the eldest sister, Hongying, was afraid that there would be no meat for the family. Fresh meat is not easy to send, and I have never heard of all kinds of bacon and cured meat, so there is no shortage of meat here in the Yang family, so they sent fish and soft-shelled turtles.

"The shell of this soft-shelled turtle is quite heavy, but the wild ones are different. Those soft-shelled turtles sold on the street look like farmed ones, and their shells look soft." Although Yang's mother complained, she was still a little happy in her heart. After all, although parents don't care what their children give them. But filial piety will make them happy.

"Which one you see is indeed wild. It was caught in the reservoir two days ago, and it has not been fed. The others are farmed, but because the water area over the reservoir is relatively large.

And I didn't feed much, I just put small miscellaneous fish in as bait, which is indeed better than other intensively farmed soft-shelled turtles, not to mention the activity, it looks more energetic than others. "Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"Then clean this one up at night and make soup for the old man."

"We are all too old to make up for. Don't put anything in the stew for a while, and let Xiao Wenchen drink it. The child is growing up when he is young." Old man Xuan wanted to help, but Yang Dongxu refused. So he gave Yang Dongxu an angry look, then turned around and stretched out his hand to tease Xiao Wenchen with a doting smile on his face.

Yang Dongxu just rolled his eyes at such discriminatory treatment.

Besides, children who are two or three years old only need balanced nutrition, so how can they grow up?

Doesn't one have to wait until half a child eats a poor old man to grow a body before he needs nutrition to keep up with a long body?

"By the way, old man, help me feel the pulse of a cousin and his wife later." Yang Dongxu turned his head and said to Sun Lao.

When boyfriend and girlfriend are together and don't want to get married, the most fearful thing is pregnancy. But those who want to get married naturally want to get pregnant immediately.

It has been almost two months since Zhang Jing moved into the general's house with her luggage, and both of them wanted to have a baby soon. When drinking yesterday, I drank a lot of generals and said that I want to have children, no matter what happens if a man and a woman really fall in love in the future.

"Okay, got it." Elder Sun replied.

Get up in the morning on New Year's Eve to put on new clothes for the children, start making paste to paste couplets in the morning, and cook a big pot of meat and bones at noon, which is lunch.

When it was getting dark in the afternoon, people from one family gathered together, brought paper and cannons, and began to pay respects to ancestors in the cemeteries around the village.

I heard that there is also a cemetery in Yangjia Village, and the elderly will be buried in the planned cemetery after death. And the old cemetery will also be transferred there.

Many people did not agree because they did not want to move the cemetery of the older generation, so the planning of the cemetery was not completed. So when the old man passed away, he still invited a Mr. Yin and Yang to come over and see where the land was suitable for burial.

Therefore, there are many cemeteries around the village, and every time the ancestors are worshipped at the end of the year. Basically, it is a big circle around the village before returning.

After the ancestor worship, Mama Yang, Zhou Ya, Mama Cui, and the little aunt who came to help had almost prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. Grandparents were called over, as well as my uncle's family.

This is basically how it has been for the past few years. A large family gathers around a specially customized huge revolving dining table. The family didn't seem deserted because of the marriage of two daughters, but it felt more lively.

After dinner, several old people sat down and talked for a while, watching TV, and then went back to sleep early. People of the older generation go to bed early, and basically go to bed after eight o'clock.

In fact, people nowadays go to bed quite early, and usually go to bed around nine or ten o'clock. It's not like a few years later with smartphones, when everyone held a mobile phone at eleven or twelve o'clock and still felt very energetic. And after falling asleep, I still can't sleep well and often suffer from insomnia.

Uncle wanted to go to the big shop, so he took Father Yang along with him. Although there has been some restraint over the years, this problem has not been corrected.

But as the child grows up, he is not as careless as before. In addition, my aunt is really virtuous, and I don't know if it's one thing and one thing. Grandpa and grandma can't control my uncle, but the virtuous aunt who doesn't lose her temper very much manages him honestly.

Although there are occasional mistakes, but in recent years, there have been no angry quarrels with my aunt because of playing cards or other things.

Maybe it's because the child has grown up and the uncle finally found the responsibility of being a father.

"Don't play too much?" The aunt couldn't help asking.

"Understood, how much can we play in our village without going outside?" Uncle replied triumphantly.

The aunt pursed her lips and said nothing.

Playing in Yangjiacun is already a big deal. After all, Yangjiacun is a market. Many people who like to play cards at the end of the year and feel that they are not satisfied in their own small village will come to Yangjiacun to play. If you want to play bigger, you can only go to the town.

In the past few years, although the grandfather and others are getting worse day by day. The atmosphere of playing cards is more restrained than before, but it is still restrained. There are already signs of an uptick.

However, thanks to the development of the country in the past few years, everyone's pockets have bulged a lot compared to before. Although I played a little bit bigger, I didn't have the kind of red-eyed, losing all the money I worked hard to earn outside for a year, and then the family got into a fight on the first day of the new year. So for the New Year's Eve, everyone will turn a blind eye and close their eyes if they play a little bigger.

Victory, who has been holding back for a year, definitely wants to take this opportunity to have fun, but obviously he can't do it alone. Because whether you lose money or win money, my aunt will not give him a good face. But it's different when it comes to bringing Papa Yang, there's a bit of room for maneuver.

Especially if you are unlucky and lose too much money, Dad Yang will basically help you out. The so-called someone has the courage to guarantee the bottom line, and Shengli feels that he can definitely kill the Quartet today.

"Go and watch later." Yang's mother kicked Yang Dongxu who was teasing her son.

"Understood." Yang Dongxu responded.

In fact, there was no need for Yang's mother to shout, Xiao Wu and the others had already come to find Yang Dongxu to hang out.

When playing cards, it is basically the older generation and the younger generation. Everyone came up to play mahjong and play Pai Gow.

When the old and young people start to get together in the hot venue, and there are a few booing, it's time to rise. Then a large group of people gathered around a poker table, some were on the banker, and some were on the sidelines. It was like raising funds, and the game gradually became bigger and bigger.

"The granary is locked by Grandpa, where are we going to play this year?" After going out, he forgot to carry two packs of cigarettes in his pocket and followed Xiao Wu out of the house. In fact, those who play cards are not happy to scatter cigarettes, saying that it is unlucky to scatter wealth.

But Yang Dongxu obviously doesn't have this taboo, besides, winning or losing is just a small amount of money in his opinion, and he can't lose money, complain about others, and feel uncomfortable sitting on the buttocks.

The reason why the granary has become a gathering place for playing cards during the Chinese New Year is because the public grain handed in by the villages will be emptied at the end of the year. The place inside is just big enough to gather a lot of people.

But this year, for some unknown reason, half of the public grain handed in by the village is still in the granary, so the granary can't open the door to play cards.

That's right! Now farmers have to pay public grain according to the amount of cultivated land.

However, if I remember correctly, from this year onwards, the agricultural tax has been reduced and exempted on a large scale. Then by the end of next year, the agricultural tax will be completely abolished. Instead of paying public grain, farmers are subsidized for farming.

As a farmer, I remember this matter clearly. This is also the policy that has been upheld and implemented since who came to power, and the common people are very grateful.

"Go to Da Mao Restaurant, there are usually people playing cards in his backyard, so it's a good time to go there. Otherwise, if you go to someone's house during the Chinese New Year, the wife and children will not be welcome." Da Liang said with a smile.

If it's just a few brothers playing mahjong or something, it's basically fine. After all, the family members are familiar with each other. When Yang Dongxu came back, he either ate here or drank there.

But at the end of the year, more people playing cards come out and go in to make a mess, which is a bit unpopular.

And in the past two years, there have been more and more mahjong parlors in some cities, and this trend has begun to spread to small towns. Yangjia Village belongs to the market, although there is no professional mahjong parlor because people go out to work all the year round. But the big names also began to have a place to gather
