The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Compared with later generations who usually go out to work on the seventh and eighth day of the lunar new year, the time to go out to work now is later. Basically, they only go out one after another after the fifteenth Lantern Festival at home.

And on the day of the Lantern Festival, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Yang family gathers for gatherings, theater troupes from other places, and entertainment gatherings that usually do not see large quantities of cloth, jade, various ferrules, or air guns and balloons. Appeared on Yangjiaji.

These three days are also the busiest time to go to the market in Shili Baxiang. Some schools even have a holiday because of this meeting. Older children choose to play air guns or play billiards.

The younger children concentrated on drilling under the stage, where there were some ring vendors of small toys. These small toys included some boards that could not be distinguished whether they were jade or plastic. etc.

Children with a little money basically hold candied haws in their hands, or go to make rice balls on the turntable. If you have a little more money, you can buy a heart-shaped pendant for one yuan and hang it around your neck.

These heart-shaped pendants are said to be jade, but it is unclear whether they are made of jade or plastic. After wearing it for a period of time, there will be some strange patterns such as small crabs, small shrimps, or other strange patterns, and then it is said that this jade is alive and can be used as a refuge or something, and some adults will tell the children. The story comes alive.

In addition to these traditional gadgets, this year the Yang family gathered an acrobatic troupe invited from who knows where. A group of people stepped on their feet and walked from one end of the market to the other end of the crowd, and many people were chasing the bulging bustle beside them.

The Yang Family Wholesale Department, which is usually closed at this time of year, will also open during these three days. First, I bought a batch of goods by surprise, and then sold them within three days. If they can be sold out, they will be sold out. If they can’t be sold out, they can be kept for their own use. If they can’t be used up, they can be given to neighbors and friends, or they can go to relatives to bring some to relatives. It will be completely digested in a short time.

Yang Dongxu did not return to Yanjing or Hangzhou when the fifteenth day was approaching, because he attended many weddings after the year, and he went to Jiaocheng to see the pharmaceutical factory, and Zhucheng to attend the preparation meeting for the opening of the school of traditional Chinese medicine.

Then with relatives also coming to the meeting, the Yang family will definitely keep them for dinner. In this way, the Yang family was more lively than during the Chinese New Year, and all the relatives came here at once.

Together with Xiaowu and the others, smoking cigarettes in their mouths, they wandered from Jibeitou to Jinantou, and then from Jidongtou to Jidongtou. Although talking and laughing all the way and never looking for trouble, but it always gives people a very arrogant feeling that cannot be provoked.

In fact, if you walk and smoke like this, you will be easily beaten if you go to other markets. The current folk customs are very tough. After all, there are many thieves in the countryside now, and cases of cattle and sheep being taken away from the house from time to time.

And if a thief enters the village in the middle of the night, everyone in the village will get up with a sling and take a sling, and some with a lamb fork will chase the thief for several miles. So when I met such a flat-looking person in the market, many of them went up to work if they didn't agree with each other.

But in Yangjiaji, no one dared to deal with the arrogant guys like Xiao Wu, Yang Dongxu may feel strange to many people. But Xiao Wu, who grew up in the market since he was a child, is obviously known to everyone. Although they have never done anything evil, after all, they are famous and no one dares to provoke them.

People who don't know them, looking at them, a group of huh-hu-la-la, six or seven young men, no matter their acquaintance or physique, are the same as each other, and they don't have the guts to find fault.

"You said if I don't go out, how about setting up dozens of billiard tables?" After missing a shot, Da Liang put down the cue and took a bite of the sugar cane next to him.

"It's okay to do it at the end of the year, and there are only people in the wheat field and Qiuzhong at other times. Most of the people in other times go out to work and no one plays." Yang Dongxu hit a shot.

He has basically never played billiards, so his skills are so poor that people are speechless, so he can only make a miracle with great strength.

"Normally there are not many people. Besides, when we set up this thing, almost three or four of them are placed in the open space in front of a store. It means that these two days are very lively, and there are usually not many people at all. Why don't you go to the town near the school to get this Let’s set up a game room in the place where you can pay for that stuff, and you won’t necessarily be able to get in the queue after school.” Xiao Wu suggested an idea from the side.

"It's indeed possible to do this, but it won't make much money. Even if there are people in the town, they need to manage all year round and there is not much money left." Leaving aside whether it will poison the motherland's next generation, the future of the game room is obvious. Much better than a billiards room.

"Forget it, let's not do it. Be careful of cheating children with the soles of your shoes." Da Liang put down the sugarcane in his hand and bent over to start playing.

"Then don't do it." Xiao Wu waved his hand indifferently. Yangjia Village has a lot of connections if he wants to make money, so there is no need to get a bad reputation.

"Hehe, some little brothers are playing ball here." A middle-aged man with a fat body and a bald head came over and took out cigarettes for several people to disperse.

"You're doing well, Sanhong, you've already smoked Huangshan Mountain." Later generations said that all the good cigarettes are from China.

Although there is also Zhonghua now, Huangshan is even more famous. Many people think that this is the promotional slogan of Huangshan, a scenic spot. In fact, it is printed on Huangshan cigarette boxes and spread widely.

"Small business, small business. It's just hanging below to drink some soup. I'll go ahead and have a look if you guys are playing." San Hong smiled and greeted a few people by lighting cigarettes, turned and left.

Sanhong's age was the same as that of their fathers, and having been in the labor camp and having a bad reputation, he was considered a celebrity in ten miles and eight villages. Being able to flirt with a few young people in such a humble manner, you have to say that it is not unreasonable for them to be able to get along.

"Is he still dumping fertilizer?" Sanhong is not from Yangjia Village, but he bought a house in Jimian a few years ago.

As the Yangjiaji became more and more prosperous, many people came to do business in the market, and there were two or three companies that dumped fertilizer seeds, or made cement and gravel.

"Chemical fertilizers are still pouring out, but the main thing is to send bricks to others. Does the kiln factory over there in Xuzhai know? He doesn't know where to build a relationship, sending red bricks, and dumping earthwork."

Yang Dongxu nodded, it is indeed money to get this thing. In the previous life, Dad Yang drove a four-wheeled cart with the son of the uncle’s family, and also gave people red bricks for building houses for several years. Ten yuan a day is enough to feed the whole family.

"It seems that something happened again." Da Liang criticized.

Yang Dongxu looked up at him.

"The kiln factory is on the upstream river beach. No one wanted that piece of wasteland. Now we can make money by opening a brick factory. The nearby villages have made money and there have been several fights."

"Doesn't matter in the town?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Why don't you care, last time the police cars in the city came to fight, there were more than a dozen police cars? But there is a reason for this. When the police come, the villagers go back to their homes and don't make trouble at all. They get together as soon as they leave. Have a fight."

Although there are a few well-connected local snakes in the area of ​​Wuli Town, there is no strong clan power. So there is no patriarchal family law.

But now that the law is not popular, apart from killing people is a little scary. Most of the time when encountering conflicts, farmers are accustomed to using their fists to resolve conflicts. If the village is united, the village with the bigger fist will benefit more. On the contrary, if your village is incapable, it will suffer and suffer.

"He came to talk to grandpa?" asked Yang Dongxu, who was also from the countryside, Da Liang, who understood as soon as he explained.

"Look for Uncle Victory."

"My uncle?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, apparently unable to react.

"Grandpa is old and his mind is getting confused, so he can still manage things. Although Daddy is the village head, he only cares about our village's affairs. He can't reach Xuzhai, and listen to Daddy's famous people. Maybe it's a bit of face, but it's not easy to deal with things. Uncle Shengli knows a lot of friends in the town, so Sanhong and others will come to him when they encounter anything."

"Heh, my uncle is doing well when he's not at home all the year round." Yang Dongxu laughed, not knowing whether it was pride or sarcasm.

"He probably didn't recognize you. It's probably more useful to tell you if he recognizes you than to tell Uncle Shengli." Xiao Wu interjected.

Although he was very clear about what Yang Dongxu was uncomfortable with outside of college, and they were all in their twenties, they were all smart, but none of them were stupid.

From the experience of so many things in Yangjiacun, basically whoever troubles the breadwinner is unlucky, and even the town cadres can't do it well, so I understand that they, who didn't grow up together, must be doing well. And even if he didn't do well, few people would dare to mess with his grandpa, who had been rumored to be a high-ranking official in Yanjing.

"Okay, don't give me a high hat. It's getting late, my relatives should have gone back, I'll go home and have a look." Yang Dongxu put down his cue.

Because all the relatives who are going to the meeting recently are dragging their families, and they often come to Yangjiacun, so Yang Dongxu didn’t accompany them and let them play by themselves. It’s almost noon and they are probably going home now. Obviously, he can’t wander outside. up.

"Okay, you can go back first. When are you leaving? It's okay, let's get together with brothers." Xiao Wu asked.

"Let's just take two days, find time to go to my house for a drink." Father Yang's treat was a treat for Father Yang, although they sat at the same table and drank a lot. But it is not counted as a drinking place for several brothers, so it must be a single drink.

"Don't go to your house, there is a big daddy and they can't let go. Let's go to the city to drink tomorrow night. Someone opened a big place where you can sing, let's go to Houhou."

"Okay." Yang Dongxu replied with a smile.

Some people say that with the development of the economy, those luxury casinos are garbage businesses, which do nothing to promote the economy at all. But you have to admit that when there are more entertainment venues in a city, it is also a proof of economic prosperity.

Third-tier cities like Chengwang City are at the bottom of the list, and entertainment venues can't be opened if they don't have access to the economy. Since it opened, it means that the economy of Chengwang City has been doing really well in the past few years. Even if it is not a blockbuster with satellites, at least it is developing steadily.
