The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 1248
The rural areas at the end of August can be regarded as busy farming time, but compared with other busy farming seasons for farming or harvesting. At the end of August, I basically went into the fields to take care of the crops, and the most important job was weeding.
In the next few years, the herbicides will be applied several times, and people rarely go to the fields. Now most of the farmers are still manually weeding the fields.
However, because of the hot weather, people in the village basically only go to the fields in the morning and evening, and there is no way for people to enter the sun-poisoned fields at other times.
Therefore, at other times, there are many more people chatting and enjoying the shade under the trees in the village. Compared with the whole family going out to work in the past few years, they may not necessarily go home during the New Year.
The entire village may not even see a few people during the Chinese New Year, and the countryside is still very lively now. Chickens and ducks don't have so many controls to run around.
Under the shade of the trees, the women were sitting with scattered work in their hands, chatting about family affairs with women from the same village. A few men gather together to walk horses, or play cards with others, and they don't gamble much, just for entertainment.
Young children are not allowed to go to the other side of the pond under the leadership of older children, otherwise a beating will be inevitable. Only when adults go into the water in the evening, the younger children can go into the water with them, so that they can be rescued in time if something happens.
Therefore, in this era without smartphones and games, what children like to do most is to use net bags modified from plastic bags at home, or steal noodles from home, wash them into gluten, stick them on the tips of bamboo poles, and play with them everywhere.
And at this time, the men basically had a slingshot in hand, so in the village, there were still many bird nests on the trees on both sides of the road and so on.
If a glass was broken when a big bird living in the village was confiscated, a severe beating would definitely be inevitable. Then the adults had to come to the door to apologize for all kinds of compensations, and hurried to the hardware store on the street to ask the master to change a new piece of glass for him.
There was no market today, so the car drove into the old house without encountering any obstacles. Yang's father and Yang's mother were already waiting at the door, but the car was blocked before entering the door.
Then the two elders hugged Xiao Wenchen and kissed and kissed again and again, and at the same time gave Zhou Ya, the daughter-in-law, a smiling face. For Yang Dongxu, the son, they basically selectively ignored them.
Because of being separated for a while, Xiao Wenchen was a little unfamiliar with his grandparents at first. This caused Yang Dongxu to suffer from stares.
After a while, the familiar scene awakened Xiao Wenchen's memory of his grandparents, and Yang Dongxu lost even the last sense of existence. Just go to the kitchen and see what's for lunch.
Not long after I got home, my grandparents and my uncle's family also came over. As soon as my aunt's son Jiejie arrived at the old house, he ran to play with Xiao Wenchen.
In fact, children basically like to play with older children, and they always feel that other children are too naive. But not long after Xiao Wenchen could speak, he called Uncle Jiejie all day long, and Uncle Jiejie had a very sweet mouth.
Let Jiejie, a little kid, have enough of being an elder, so when he usually plays, he will bring Xiao Wenchen together, and take care of his little nephew.
"How about the Olympics, is it lively?" The aunt followed Zhou Ya upstairs to unwrap the presents, and the uncle went to the refrigerator to find an ice cream and asked while eating.
"There are a lot of lively people. You have no chance to go there this time. In a few years, the next Olympic Games will be held in our capital. Then you will take the whole family to go. Anyway, how big is our house in Yanjing? Everyone can live there."
Yang Dongxu took a cucumber in the kitchen, wiped off the forehead with his hands, washed it and ate it.
Shengli, who was eating ice cream, suddenly felt that the ice cream in his mouth was not delicious. Does he want to watch the Olympics?
Of course I want to go to the Olympics, at least no one in the village has seen the Olympics, and I can brag about it in the village for a while after watching the Olympics.
But can going to Yanjing to watch the Olympic Games be the same as going abroad to watch the Olympic Games?
Watching the Olympics and even traveling abroad, the capital to brag like this is much better than just watching the Olympics, okay? He has been to Yanjing several times, and there is nothing new about it. Besides, it is not surprising that many people in the village have been to Yanjing.
On the contrary, when the villagers go to Yanjing to play, they can live in the big courtyard house and hear that the value of the big courtyard house is now tens of millions, which can satisfy his sense of vanity. But the house is not my own, so even if it can satisfy the sense of vanity, it is limited.
"Dongxu, do you know where you put those necklaces and earrings you bought earlier?" Zhou Ya's voice came from upstairs.
"It seems to be in the box that holds the supplements. When I was packing the supplements, I saw a few jewelry boxes and put them in together." Yang Dongxu shouted upstairs.
Every time she goes out, Zhou Ya basically brings gifts for the whole family, sometimes cosmetics, sometimes jewelry, sometimes clothes and shoes.
The most popular ones are jewelry and cosmetics, clothes and shoes, even if they are big brands, it is difficult for you to wear them in rural areas.
After all, sometimes the countryside is not so clean, and there are a lot of chicken droppings on the roads. Usually, it feels disgusting to step on it, but just rub it on the ground.
If he had a foot in shoes worth thousands of dollars, Yang Dongxu would still rub it on the ground for a while, and then do what he should do.
But the older generation of the family feel distressed, so you can't tell them the price when you buy these things, otherwise it will be a burden for them to wear.
But this kind of thing could be hidden before, but now as the domestic economy is getting more and more developed, the names of big brands and luxury goods have been heard more or less, and it is obviously impossible to be as foolish as before.
So Zhou Ya began to send some jewelry instead, such as some gemstone earrings, some of which were expensive. But wearing it on your ears and stepping on shit on your feet are two completely different experiences.
"By the way, how much is my watch worth?" Uncle Sheng Sheng shook the watch on his wrist and said.
He didn't buy this watch himself, it was given to him by Zhou Ya for his birthday this year.
"It's more than 200,000 yuan. I don't know much about this." Yang Dongxu flipped through the watch strap on his uncle's wrist and found that it was a Rolex. My uncle likes this style very much, because many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies My eldest brother likes to wear watches of this style.
"What the hell?" The uncle who was eating the ice cream was stunned.
It is undoubtedly very impolite for you to ask how much a gift is, but he also thought that the value of this watch is estimated to be tens of thousands of yuan, if it is less, that child Zhou Ya can't afford it.
Even if the guess is tens of thousands of yuan, it still makes him feel awesome when he casually reveals it when he usually eats. After all, anyone who can wear a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan is awesome, at least in his perception, it is enough to be rich.
Who would have thought that this watch is not tens of thousands, but more than two hundred thousand. This is definitely not a surprise, but for a moment he felt that his wrist was not his own. Even though there were no outsiders around the house, he still felt that someone was hiding in the dark and wanted to rob him.
"Don't pay too much attention to just a watch, which is your year of birth. Zhou Ya and I discussed giving you a more expensive gift. You don't celebrate your birthday very much at other times, so it's good to treat you with good wine and cigarettes." Yang Dongxu smiled. Said.
I just told my uncle the value of this watch, not to add a psychological burden to my uncle sincerely. But when I first put on this watch, my uncle showed off in various ways and he didn't care.
But when he was still in Athens a few days ago, his mother called home and told him that his uncle drank too much again one day, not to mention drinking too much and losing some money playing cards.
It's okay to lose money. I didn't bring much in my pocket anyway. If I lose all, I'll go home and sleep. As a result, my uncle was very unhappy when he got drunk and lost all kinds of troubles, so he took off his watch and put it on the table, saying that it was worth 10,000 yuan to continue.
Playing cards on the street now, five yuan and ten yuan is considered a big game, and the couple who wins or loses one hundred and two hundred is already going to quarrel. Especially the Yang family was said to be famous on the street and in all the towns and villages.
Drunk Shengli was persuaded to go back to sleep as soon as he started playing cards, but in the end he was not persuaded and had to play a few rounds with him, and he didn't want the money to return when he won.
Although the Yang family won't renege on their debts if they lose, but they really don't want to mess around on the street if they cheat money while they are drunk. Whoever wanted to cooperate with the younger uncle got drunk and insisted on betting big, but in the end it was Father Yang who was brought back from the pig farm to bring the younger uncle home.
This is from the villagers at home, and everyone will not cheat him. But my uncle still likes to go for a stroll in the county town or out of town when he is fine. People don't know you outside, but it doesn't matter who you are.
At that time, if something happened to bet on the watch again, although Yang Dongxu didn't care about the money. But he couldn't watch his brother-in-law being tricked, so he still told the price directly.
If you have a burden in your heart, you have a burden in your heart. If you have a psychological burden, you will probably wear less in the future, so that there will be fewer scourges. However, he could already foresee that if there was any wine scene where he would show his face in the future, my uncle would definitely show off even more with a watch. But showing off is better than being tricked.
"Then your aunt's set of jewelry?" He felt that his wrist had nowhere to put it.
"It's more than 200,000 yuan. I didn't ask much about what Zhou Ya bought. However, the gems have a relatively large head, but the gem market has been bullish in recent years, so the actual value is about the same as the purchase price.
In fact, whether it is jadeite or diamond gemstones, there is no gold preservation. If something really happens, the big gold chain can be cashed out directly. Gemstones and emeralds have too much water in them, and second-hand ones are not particularly meaningful and are not easy to sell at discounts. " Yang Dongxu said.
To be honest, if he didn't feel that wearing a big gold chain and gold ring was too cliche, he felt that it would be nice to wear gold in all kinds of accessories.
The price of gold has been rising steadily, although emeralds have also been fired over the years, as have diamonds and other gemstones. But when you wear a gold chain and need money someday, you can sell it at any gold store at a slightly lower price.
For emerald gemstones or something, unless you are lucky enough to meet a buyer you like, the people in those jewelry stores will give you a 50% discount on the recycling price, so you can imagine the moisture in it.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, people from your aunt's family came to visit relatives a few days ago, that prodigal bitch of your aunt" said the uncle Shengli and started to run upstairs.
Not long after, my aunt ran down in a hurry.
"What your uncle said is true. That set of jewelry is really worth hundreds of thousands?" The aunt looked at Yang Dongxu in astonishment.
She was about the same as her uncle Shengli, and the set of jewelry that Zhou Ya gave her probably cost only tens of thousands of dollars. It's rare, but it's only rare.
Coupled with the fact that the living conditions at home are good, even if my uncle is not a real mess, he can still earn one hundred and eighty thousand a year. In addition, Zhou Ya, eldest sister Hongying, and Dandan are all rich women.
Although there is a difference between distance and nearness when giving gifts, they will basically bring a copy to my uncle's family. So my aunt does not lack these necklaces and jewelry.
So when her natal brother brought his wife and children to visit relatives a few days ago, she showed her necklaces and jewelry to her sister-in-law.
After showing off, I saw that my sister-in-law liked the necklace Zhou Ya gave me more, although I felt a little distressed, but in order to save face for my brother, I also saved face for myself, so as not to slap myself in the face by showing off just now. Although it was a bit painful, I still generously gave away the necklace.
My uncle also knew about this, although he said a few words about prodigal girls, but he didn't care about it in his heart. After all, my brother-in-law has always respected and envied him, and he speaks nicely, so if you give him a necklace, just give him a necklace. Who ever thought that necklace was so valuable.
"It was bought by Zhou Ya. You can ask her for the exact price better than me." Seeing his uncle and aunt panicked and regretful, Yang Dongxu pinched his brows.
The reason for this was that my uncle was cheated when he was messing around with ignorance, but it turned out that my uncle was fine, and my aunt probably couldn't sleep well recently.
