The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Under Yang's mother's persuasion, Yang's father gave up the idea of ​​getting up early and going to the city to pick up vegetables. It is true that driving on the road is full of snow, not to mention slippery, the snow in the ditch is as high as the road surface, and it is easy to drive into the ditch.

When there were no vegetables, it was as lively in front of Yang Dongxu's door as when there were no vegetables, fireworks and firecrackers, brown candies were mentioned and moved outside. This inventory is relatively large. Dad Yang prepared a lot of inventory a few days ago.

Yang Dongxu was also called to keep accounts and count money all morning, and when there were not many people at the noon market, the old lady's house next door, that is, the mother of the general who followed Xiao Wu to play with Yang Dongxu these two days, came to the shop In the middle, Shen Mi said a few words to Yang's mother, and then Yang's mother called her daughter Hongying.

"I won't go." Hong Ying looked a little embarrassed, resisting and shy at the same time.

Don’t ask the aunt, she must be a matchmaker for the elder sister. The matchmakers in the countryside used to have professional matchmakers, but now they are basically introduced by relatives and friends.

For example, my aunt knows that Hongying, who lives next door to her, is old enough to go on a blind date. If she meets a boy of the same age when visiting relatives in other villages, she will first check it out and mention it if she feels okay.

This mention is not just to talk to Yang's mother, but to bring people over to show to Yang Dongxu's family. Generally, the parents and children will take a look at it together, or the two children will meet at the entrance of the village or other places first. If the child feels okay, then the parents will take a look again. If there is no problem, they can discuss the wedding and engagement. up.

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Yang's mother glared at her daughter, "Go and have a look before we talk about it?"

"That's right, that's right, this boy has done his duty and earned a lot of money by going out to work in the past two years, and he is taller than Xu Zi by half a head." The aunt also helped out.

At this time, the beauty and ugliness of the blind date can actually be seen by the eye, and what is more important is whether the height is tall or strong. After all, rural children need to farm and do farm work. If your blind date is a short and thin person, it will make people feel that life will be difficult in the future.

Hong Ying pouted and finally followed the aunt towards the entrance of the village. The boy was waiting there. Falling in love is still a very strange thing for rural girls in this era.

Take Hong Ying as an example, apart from the classmates she met in school, her social circle is only in Yangjia Village, or the few girls who play well at her grandfather’s house. She has also longed for love, but it always feels that it is very far away. .

Now the keynote of marriage is blind date. Under the introduction of relatives, friends or the same village, I meet a strange boy. If the first impression is good, and the parents are also satisfied after meeting, then it is engagement, and then it will not be long before they start to get married. Things like cultivating relationships need to be done after marriage.

Yang Dongxu is actually opposed to the matter of my sister going on a blind date, not to mention that the person on the blind date is definitely not the brother-in-law in the previous life. The elder sister is only 18 years old this year, and she is still too young after graduating from junior high school for less than a year. .

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls are in their prime, and now the Yang family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. He feels that his sister can find something he likes to do for a few years, or fall in love, it's better than earlier. It is much better to set a lifelong event and start a family.

But he doesn't have any say in the matter of his elder sister's marriage. Even as he grows older, his parents can listen to him, but it doesn't include the matter of the elder sister's blind date.

At the same time, Yang Dongxu felt a little uneasy. According to the trajectory of his previous life, the Yang family was still very poor at this time, so Father Yang had to go out to work. Hong Ying also went out to work after graduating from junior high school, and then met her brother-in-law while working. .

If my sister really succeeds in the blind date at home, will the trajectory of all her life change, will my lovely niece and naughty nephew disappear? Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

"Mom, if my sister doesn't find a suitable one this year, let her go to Yanjing with me after the new year?" Yang Dongxu said, lowering his head to help clean up the things on the booth.

"Why go to Yanjing?" Yang's mother turned her head to look at her son and frowned. When talking about Yanjing, the first thing she thought of was whether she would trouble Zhou Yiren.

"Didn't I say that I am doing business in Yanjing? My sister Zhou Ya is the only daughter of my grandpa. She is busy with her own affairs and has no time to help me, so I want my sister to help me. You must find a reassuring person to look after your own business, right?" Yang Dongxu felt a little guilty.

The reason for letting the old lady go to Yanjing is naturally not to help him with his business, but to let the old lady go out to gain more experience, and at the same time, she has more experience and can have her own opinions. If the elder sister is really as capable as my aunt Ran Feifei, then it is fine to open a shop or a company for the elder sister in the future.

In short, he has his own ideals and ambitions, and he also wants his family to live happily and has his own pursuit. Instead of copying your own life again in the footsteps of the previous generation.

"This." Yang's mother hesitated, her daughter has never left her side since she was a child. Although going to Yanjing with his own son is not considered helpless, but the son is still a child after all, and it is not good to bother Zhou Yiren all the time.

"Now boys who are seventeen or eighteen years old and my sister's age are all going out to work, and they basically come back after the Chinese New Year. Even if my sister stays at home and waits for the Chinese New Year, all the migrant workers are gone, and there are not many people to choose. How about my sister also go to Wu Yanjing to see the world and learn more things, don't you think?"

"She won't run wild when she goes to Yanjing, won't she come back?" Mama Yang showed a vigilant look on her face. At this moment, she suddenly thought of Ran Feifei, the daughter of her uncle's family.

"That's possible." Yang Dongxu's heart suddenly felt that his mother's eyes were extraordinarily sharp at this time, as if seeing through his thoughts, "Can my sister and my aunt be the same? You don't believe me, don't you believe yourself? You asked my sister to come back for the Chinese New Year, would she dare to come back?"

"That's right." Hearing what Yang Dongxu said, Mama Yang nodded. Although she hasn't cultivated a college student in terms of children's education, she definitely didn't say anything about tutoring.

Mother Yang knew her daughter's temperament well. Although she sometimes had a little temper, she never dared to show embarrassment to her parents, or bluff like other children.

"So you agree?" Seeing his mother nodding, Yang Dongxu's eyes lit up.

"I agree with you. I'll think about it first. Don't tell your sister."

"Oh." Yang Dongxu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After the snow fell, it was always sunny. Except for the first two days when the snow melted, it was so cold that people dared not stretch out their hands. After the snow melted, the temperature began to rise slowly, so the Yang family began to be completely busy.

There was no outsider to bring in the food. Yang Dongxu, his grandfather and uncle were four men who worked hard enough to load the car. So first I sold vegetables at Yangjiaji again, and then I went to Ranmiao and Wuli every day. The farthest place went to the horse shop more than 30 kilometers away, basically three carts of vegetables in two days. look.

I have to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning every day, and I can't come back until it is dark. I have to deal with breakfast and lunch at the market, and I have a good meal when I come back in the evening, and then drink some wine to relieve fatigue.

At the beginning, Yang Dongxu was as excited as he was beating chicken blood. Seeing the bundles of vegetables that he put on the car with his own hands sold was very fulfilling, but after selling for several days, his father, grandfather and uncle were still selling In the state of chicken blood, he was a little listless.

It's not that he doesn't sleep less, but that he is really tired. Even if he has a small success in martial arts, practicing martial arts and physical labor are two different things. Having grown so big and in the previous life, I didn't spend so much labor all at once, which is more tiring than when Xia harvested.

"Why don't you go tomorrow, I'll go with your dad, and you stay at home to look after the store." Looking at her son's exhausted face, Yang's mother was very distressed. When she came back on the first day, she saw her son trembling with chopsticks in his hand. She almost didn't quarrel with Yang's father, how could she act like a father's own son as an animal.

"I won't go tomorrow, let's rest for two days. I've been to several nearby markets. Today, I only sold half a carload of vegetables. I'll wait until the 28th and 29th of the twelfth lunar month to see if it will be better. "Papa Yang is naturally very distressed about his son.

But the expressions of fatherly love and motherly love are obviously different, so he also feels distressed when he sees his son so tired. Many times, he only asks Yang Dongxu to keep accounts by the side and does not allow him to move things. But he felt that he was a kid in his seventeens and eighteens, and it was okay to have a few blisters on his hands and a little calluses, as long as the boy was stronger.

Yang's mother cast a glance at Yang's father, as if she was acquainted with you, and then she thought of something and said, "How much money is suitable for the big (father) and the army?"

Furthermore, the family is now separated after all, so some things cannot always be used and not rewarded. You still need to pay wages when you invite outsiders. If you can’t help your relatives, you feel that you should be nothing.

"The big one doesn't want money. I've said it several times and he just doesn't want it."

"Mother agrees?" Yang's mother snorted softly.

For her own mother-in-law, Mama Yang is very clear about it. If you help your eldest son's family, you can't give less.

"Mother didn't say anything." Father Yang said with a mouthful of food, but his words were not so confident.

In the past few days, I didn't come back until dark because of the food and vegetable sales, so I ate at Yang Dongxu's house. Today, because the business is not very good, I came back early, and when I got home, I went back to my respective houses. When dinner was ready, I went to the back house to call my grandfather and join the army for dinner, but I had already eaten there and did not call.

So Father Yang casually asked Grandpa to come over and have a drink or two. We won't eat any food for the past two days and take it easy.

In the end, Grandpa Yang Dongxu directly said that it was useless, and that he needed money to help his son. Isn't this a slap in the face, and he even reprimanded Father Yang a few words. Grandma Yang Dongxu pursed her lips several times and tried to speak, but Grandpa stared back.
