The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Hearing that something happened in the village, Yang Dongxu stopped picking up firecrackers with a few kids to remember his childhood, and ran to the village with his short legs.

While rushing, Yin Shan, who was calming down, explained what happened.

Last night, after dinner, Yinshan went to see Yang Dongxu's younger father to join the army, and he planned to play cards. But they didn't go to the carpenter's house, but went to the granary in the village before it was vacant and played with Sanqiang and others.

After playing for a while, everyone wins and loses. The three strong players said that playing in the village is boring and they want to go to the town to have a look. It is said that there are many tricks played in the town, besides poker, there are mahjong and Pai Gow.

In particular, there are a few girls with not very good reputations who often go there, and sometimes take men home after losing money.

So a few people hit it off and went to the town with lanterns. There were a few married people who wanted to go and see, but they were dragged home by their own mother-in-law, cursing shamelessly.

When they arrived in the town of Yinshan, the people really opened their eyes. The main reason is that there is electricity in the town, and there are lights in the house instead of kerosene lamps. Several girls with not very good reputations also saw it, but it was a pity that they didn't see with their own eyes that the losers had no money to bring the men home.

In the beginning, they just looked around and didn't dare to play. Compared with the one-cent and two-cent cards played in Yangjiacun, here they all started at least ten cents, and even one of them directly placed one on the table. Looking at the banknotes on the table, the faces of several people turned red with excitement even though they were not playing.

Looking at it, especially watching the top three players win a lot of money after playing a few games, and the money they won in one game was more than what I used to earn in a hard day's work selling vegetables in the town, Yang Dongxu's uncle was a little bit uncomfortable. Calm down.

In addition, when going out, Yang Dongxu's grandmother didn't know whether it was to show off or to show off for her son, but she gave Yang Dongxu's uncle five yuan, which made her more confident in joining the army.

So he slowly started to play with the top three, and Yinshan and others followed suit. They have indeed won a lot in front of them, and their foreheads are sweating with excitement.

But slowly they lost again, Yinshan and the others didn't have many coins in their pockets, and they won very little, so after losing a few games, they could only stare blankly and couldn't play any more.

Uncle Yang Dongxu has a lot of money, so he played a lot, and was looked at enviously by Yinshan, which made him feel very handsome, so he gambled passionately.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets lose, and those who don't know how to accept as soon as they see it will lose their money sooner or later. Especially after Yang Dongxu and Uncle Yang pressed a few big ones, the money disappeared in a hurry.

Uncle Yang Dongxu's heart was beating wildly when the money was gone, he knew why his mother gave him so much money. More importantly, five yuan is not a small amount for any family in Yangjia Village, and pork is only 20 cents a catty these days.

So at this time Uncle Yang Dongxu began to panic and didn't know what to do, he stood by and watched the top three play in a daze.

It seems that bad luck has passed. After losing several games in a row, the top three started to turn around and won a lot in a row. This made Uncle Yang Dongxu very jealous.

It is taboo to borrow money at the poker table, especially if you borrow money from others when they are playing well, it means cursing them for losing. So although Uncle Yang Dongxu looked hot-eyed, he didn't open his mouth to borrow money from the top three to make money for himself.

But the three strong men are so considerate, and at the same time they are still a face-saving person. In order to show off that he knew someone in the casino, he directly introduced Uncle Yang Dongxu to someone who lends money in the casino.

The top three do have a lot of face, and the casino lending interest is scary high, and it is still the interest of the donkey rolling. But because it is introduced by the top three, the interest is directly free for less than ten yuan, and the interest for more than ten yuan is 10 cents.

This interest is not ten cents a month, but ten cents a day. If you don't pay back the money for a month, the interest alone is three yuan, which is 30% of the capital. But such a loan in a casino is definitely a conscience price.

At first, Yang Dongxu's uncle didn't dare to borrow money. After all, he knew how to explain if he lost five yuan. If you borrow money and lose again, Grandpa Yang Dongxu will definitely hang up and beat you when you go home.

They didn't say anything if they didn't borrow money, and the top three didn't say anything, but returned to the gambling table and continued to play. Then he won a lot, and after he won, he was still whispering in Uncle Yang Dongxu's ear, saying that if he suppressed this one, wouldn't he win so much?

Uncle Yang Dongxu, who was a bit of a gambler at first, thought about it carefully, and this is really the truth. So he hesitated and borrowed two yuan. After betting a few times, I really won, but only won three yuan, and then lost even the capital.

So the three strong players who were also playing next to him said, it is impossible to win everything in gambling, and you are not a fairy? It must be best to press a few big hands and stop, otherwise you will lose if you play a little bit.

Uncle Yang Dongxu thought about it, this is the truth. So I borrowed another five yuan, and then fell into the pit.

Until the casino owed 100 yuan, the lender stopped lending to him. Yang Dongxu's uncle suddenly realized how much trouble he had caused.

Young people are impulsive, but they are not stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have tasted something, and he directly punched the lender. Impulsiveness is naturally ignorant, how can you still please yourself by doing something on someone else's chassis?

So Yang Dongxu's uncle was beaten up, and at the same time, the other party sent three thugs to Yangjiacun to collect the debt, and the interest was doubled instead of ten cents, but two cents. This was because of the persuasion of the three strong .

The money must be paid back today, otherwise the interest will continue to double. No matter how stupid you are, how can you have a bastard in town who only eats this bowl of rice? try not to pay back

"You bastard, you bastard" Grandpa Yang Dongxu almost went mad after hearing the whole thing, he just picked up a bamboo pole and slapped it.

Uncle Yang Dongxu was beaten and ran around.

Grandma Yang Dongxu, who was tearful and constantly complaining about her youngest son, immediately stopped her when she saw her son being beaten, "You want to beat him to death?"

"It's just right to beat him to death, so let's pretend he never gave birth to such a disappointing thing." Grandpa Yang Dongxu trembled angrily, but when he saw that his son with a bruised nose and swollen face couldn't do anything anymore, Grandma Yang Dongxu stopped him.

But thinking of the 100 yuan gambling debt, the bamboo pole in his hand went up again. One hundred dollars, that's one hundred dollars. I got up early and planted two acres of Chinese cabbage, taking advantage of the high price of the roots, and bought more than 30 yuan.

"Just kill me first." Grandma Yang Dongxu put her arms around her husband's arm to keep him from moving.

The scene froze, the villagers next to me looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't know what to say for a while. If people from other villages came to Yangjiacun to find something, they would call them without saying a word. But how can you ask others to help you owe gambling debts? It's only natural to pay off debts.

"Old man, I don't care if you beat your son or not. I have to pay back the money today. Hurry up and get the money back. I'm still waiting to go back." Among the three thugs, a young man with a cigarette in his mouth shouted like a chicken coop.

"It's okay for the crooked son to see the gangsters for a few days, why don't you turn the world upside down, this is where you make trouble?" The grandpa who just arrived snorted coldly.

"Hehe, Uncle Yang, I'm sorry Uncle Yang, if it's possible, I don't want to come to your chassis to make trouble, don't I? But I really borrowed money to join the army, and no one forced him to borrow money. If you don't believe me, you can ask himself.

And he also beat up people on my side. If it weren't for all the fellows in the village, the medical expenses would have to be accompanied. Otherwise, Uncle Yang saw that you were asking for interest today, and I decided to waive it, but you still have to pay back the 100 yuan of capital. Do you think this is the reason? "The crooked man with the cigarette in his mouth immediately removed the cigarette, casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit them for the grandfather first, and then scattered them around.

At this time, the dignified atmosphere eased, but it was the mood of other people who eased. Those who want to pay the bills don't make troubles, and those who want to celebrate the New Year naturally have no one to make troubles, and they have a correct attitude and speak rationally.

They are relaxed, but Yang Dongxu's family can't relax. Just like what the crooked son said, the interest is gone. You have to pay back the borrowed capital. This principle makes sense wherever you go.

"Families who joined the army, you can join in." The grandfather sighed, this matter is unreasonable and he can only admit it.

"Come together, how can you make it together? That's a hundred yuan, and it's not enough to sell all the things at home." Yang Dongxu's grandma cried and kept wiping her tears.

Grandpa Yang Dongxu let go of the bamboo stick in his hand and squatted on the ground, hitting himself on the head continuously. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look at Father Yang and Mother Yang.

"I'll get it." Mama Yang turned around and walked through the crowd without hesitation.

After a while, the money was handed over. At this time, there was no bill of 100 face value, and the largest bill was 10 yuan. The ten bills of ten yuan were shining brightly, which made many people look straight.

Waizi counted the money in his hand, after three times he found that it was correct and put the money into his arms: "Okay, Uncle Yang, I'm sorry for disturbing you, I'm really sorry, if you are free, I will treat you to the town." drink wine."

Waizi put his palms together and bowed to his grandpa. A few people left in a hurry, with a huge sum of one hundred yuan in his arms, he felt a little bit drummed, he had to return to his own territory quickly to be at ease.

"Why are you still hiding? Follow the past and continue to gamble to see if you can get your money back. You bet once that your brother got up early and worked hard for a year, and then he was eaten up. You bet again tomorrow that I will take all the things in the house." It's sold, but it's nothing more, take the family to beg for food." Yang's mother shouted to Uncle Yang Dongxu, tears streaming down her face.

This is the typical knife-mouthed bean curd heart of Yang Dongxu's mother, who is unambiguous when encountering things. But that one hundred yuan is really the wealth of the family this year. Thinking about it makes me feel distressed, and I can't control my tears. A few aunts hurried over to persuade him.

"Mother Hongying, I'm sorry for being old this time, I'll go back and beat this bastard to death." Grandpa Yang Dongxu was looked at by the people around him, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Why did he have such a bad baby? Competitive beast.

It's okay and everyone slowly dispersed. This kind of thing happened on the first day of the new year. Not only Yang Dongxu's family, but the whole Yangjia Village was a little upset. Grandpa's face was so gloomy that it was about to rain. His eyes swept across San Qiang who was hiding behind the crowd like a knife.

Sanqiang was so frightened that he shrank his head and didn't dare to go home, and ran directly to the outside of the village. A few people who followed to the town yesterday were beaten and scolded by their parents. Although it is not my son who is in debt this time, who can guarantee that they will not gamble again? My family doesn't have that much money to pay off the debts, so I must give them a good beating, so that these boys will have a long memory.

Yang's mother, who was persuaded by several aunts to go home, still couldn't stop crying. Seeing her mother crying, her little sister Dandan also started crying. Sister Hongying was also tearful, and Father Yang squatted at the door, smoking a cigarette and not speaking.
