The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 18: Uneasy little uncle

   The winter of 1979 was not as cold as last year. Apart from several heavy snowfalls at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, there were no more raindrops. Therefore, the rural dirt road has been dried after half a month of wind and sun, which makes the nearby market even more lively. The woman carries the bamboo basket, and the husband bears a smile on everyone's face.

   Seven or eight pounds of pork, half a basket of radishes, a few Chinese cabbage, and then kill a chicken, pickled eggs and duck eggs for months. Even those who stumble again are happy to purchase new year's goods at the end of the year.

This year Yangjia Village passed a fat year and came to a rare winter catch. At least two big fish in each family, plus the rapeseed oil that Yang Da returned from the city supply and marketing cooperatives, chopped the fish. It doesn't seem to be as stingy as it used to be, it's not bad to fry it.

   Rural people have the habit of offering sacrifices to the ancestors at the end of the year. Women and girls chopped dumplings and dumplings at home. Laozi and his son took the fire paper before it was completely dark.

  On the 30th night of the year, I only burned paper, and randomly put a few firecrackers as a reminder to the ancestors, telling them that they are ready to'pick up money' for the New Year.

  Yang Dongxu followed his dad, his dear grandfather, and his grandmother on the grave to ignite the fire paper. The fire paper was also more, and then began to throw fire papers one by one.

   Firecrackers ignited and crackled. Everyone stepped back to the front of the whole cemetery. The oldest stood in the front row, then the second row and the third row. Each row stood the same. After the firecrackers let everyone kneel down and knock three heads, first give their ancestors an early year.

  After the head knocked, the little fart boy rushed past, screaming at the adult, and occasionally slaps on the buttocks, or picked up some unexploded firecrackers from his feet.

   There was gunpowder in the unexploded firecrackers, which was stripped off and lit up in a line. The flash of fire instantly made the little fart children yell. This is the favorite game for rural children in the New Year.

  Yang Dongxu also rushed over and picked up two, and then stopped. It doesn’t matter if he picks up more or less.

   went home with his dad, and gave the gun he picked up to play with his little sister. Seeing his mother and sister making dumplings, Yang Dongxu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help. He was pushed out of the kitchen by his mother and forgot to wash his hands.

   was pulled by her younger sister to peel off the gun and let her use gunpowder to show her "Bai Hua". The two small firecrackers quickly completed their final mission.

   "Go to your grandfather's house and call to see if they come before the New Year?" Yang Ma shouted to Yang Dongxu.

  Although it doesn't deal with grandparents all year round, all prejudices should be put down in the New Year. Even if people have a bad relationship, they nod to each other when they meet each other during the New Year, let alone be loved ones.

   "Oh, I see." Yang Dongxu took his sister's little hand out of the house.

   Parents have separated from grandparents, and the little father has not been married yet. Therefore, it is Yang Dongxu’s task to go back and tell the grandparents if they want to come to the elder son’s house for the Chinese New Year. Although every mission will fail, grandparents will not come. But the task flow must go.

   "Say shouting wherever you go to Teacher Zhou." My mother's voice came again just a few steps after I went out.

   "I know." Yang Dongxu responded.

  Grandpa and Grandma refused as always, but this year a lot of smiles were rich, and they gave Yang Dongxu and his sister a lot of fried peanuts in their pockets and stuffed rock sugar in their mouths.

  Peel a peanut off and blow off the thin fruit coat. Yang Dongxu stuffed the yellowish crispy peanut kernels into the mouth of his sister who was not satisfied with the sugar.

  Mr. Zhou also refused to celebrate the New Year with Yang Dongxu's family. On the way he came, he already guessed, even if this year was the first time to call Mr. Zhou to the New Year.

   The New Year's Eve dinner is very rich. Yang Dongxu's mouth is full of oil, and finally there is a feeling of having a good meal in the afterlife. It is unpleasant that there is no electricity to light the kerosene lamp.

  After dinner, Mom Yang packed her things, and several little girls who went to school came to her sister Hongying to play.

   "Bring them both too." As Yang Dad was going out, Yang Ma shouted.

   Dad Yang frowned, apparently he didn't want to bring a child at this time. He is preparing to go to the carpenter's house in the threshing floor to prepare for card games. He can only let go of his hands throughout the year and the Chinese New Year. Moreover, this year's pockets are so rich, it is natural to have a good time. Take the children in the past. Way to play cards.

   "I'm not going, I'm playing at home." Yang Dongxu shook his head and pulled the little girl with big blinking eyes to take out the glass ball.

  The frowned Yang Dad's face instantly turned into a smile: "Atsuko is the best, Dad will buy you sugar for tomorrow."

  Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes. Yang Dad played cards from the end of the last life since his memory. As for whether he won or not, there must be. But most of them lost their homes and quarreled with their mothers, so he had no hope for his father's promise.

   "Don't play too much." Mother Yang urged again.

   "Got it, got it, I'll play with them for a while and run fast and get two dollars in my pocket." Yang Da waved his hand.

   "Two dollars is less, how much do you want?" Yang Ma snorted and continued to clean up her chopsticks.

   ‘Run fast’ is a card game. Kings and kings, three 2s and one A removed, four people and three people can play a card game.

  Under normal circumstances, there is only one card left as ‘alarm’, and you will lose one penny or two penny. As long as you are not too lucky, two dollars will be enough for Yang Da to lose to dawn.

   In fact, one point and two points are not too small. You should know that front-end time Grandpa Yang Dongxu sells Chinese cabbage for a penny and two catties.

   But this year, Yang Dongxu's family is a bit of a family. Even if he lost all two dollars, Yang's mother would only be unhappy to say a few words about Yang's father. So Yang Dongxu didn't care, accompanied his sister and played the glass ball on the bed with the yellowish kerosene light.

   "Xu Zi, I will sit at your aunt's house, you will play with your little girl at home, and the door will be ran from the outside. I hang it from the outside and don't lock it." Yang Ma said to Yang Dongxu who was lying on the bed.

   "I'm going, I'm going to play." Dan Dan dropped the glass ball in his hand, and Guru went down from the edge of the bed, spread his arms and let Yang Ma hug.

   "Sticky." Yang mother glared at her daughter and stretched out her arms to hug her. He looked at his son and found he was also very happy to play the glass ball by himself. He took his daughter and turned to go out.

   Hearing the sound of closing the door, Yang Dongxu stopped playing and lay on his back on the bed, watching the gray slivers hanging down the roof began to be dazed. He didn't know exactly what he was thinking, and his head was blank.

  Looking for a long time, Yang Dongxu, who had no eyesight, began to look back, got up and blown out the kerosene lamp, and the room fell into darkness. The scene after rebirth with closed eyes began to replay in his mind. After rebirth, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but think of the life before rebirth.

   "If only there is a computer, it would be fine to come to Taiwan's Xiaobawang learning machine." Yang Dongxu muttered.

  Thinking about the mess in his mind, he unknowingly fell asleep.

  Vague Yang Dongxu felt that someone was yelling at himself, and he didn't know whether he responded or didn't respond. Then the clothes on his body were taken off, and he turned to the quilt and arched comfortably. He slapped his mouth and slapped on the buttocks. Mother Yang covered his corner.

  When he was sleeping comfortably, Yang Dongxu was reluctantly awakened by his father. It was almost time to pick up the New Year. The sound of firecrackers outside had already started to crackle.

   Brush your teeth, wash your face and burn the pot, then set off firecrackers and pick up some unfried ones for your sister to play with. I eat two dumplings, but the steamed buns really don't want to be eaten. Just bite them and put them down.

   Then Yang Dongxu, who had been confused for a while, refused several invitations to carry the horse lantern to other artisans to pick up artillery battles, took off his clothes and got into the bed.

   If he might be more energetic before rebirth, maybe he would be faster than anyone else in picking up artillery battles. You can experience all kinds of artillery, drop guns, and even buy a firecracker to dismantle and play by yourself before rebirth. Now it’s obviously not important to go to pick up the artillery battle. Anyway, I just picked up some tasks enough for my sister to play for a while and then went to sleep.

  Yang Dongxu was pulled up again when the sky was bright. Sister Yang Ying and sister Dan Dan can continue to sleep. He is going to New Year with Father Yang.

  Although his father's seniority is not low, Grandpa Yang Dongxu is still there, plus grandpa and grandma who have other doors on it, so it is not yet possible to go to Yang Dongxu's house for the New Year.

   was yawned by his father and walked into the house of grandparents.

   The grandmother, who doesn't love him very much, grabbed peanuts and put some sweets in his pocket. Dad Yang urged Yang Dongxu to kowtow his grandparents.

   "I haven't joined the army yet?" Yang Dongxu was taken into his arms by his mother after watching the knocking. Uncle Yang Dongxu still didn't show up. Yang Dad looked at the back room and asked.

"Last night they were called by Yinshan and they didn't come back the following year and said they went to play in the town. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com" Grandma Yang Dongxu said with a very proud tone, it seemed that someone came to the door It's a glorious thing to find your own son to play, even Yinshan is now a scratch.

   "What kind of energy is it to run to the town in the New Year." Yang Dao murmured.

   talked about the conversation and received several waves of fellow villagers who went to New Year’s and grandpa’s house for New Year’s greetings. Dad Yang took his son and walked around the four houses of the army.

   Then went home and carried paper and firecrackers to continue to worship the ancestor, which was larger and more lively than this time the night before. The firecrackers crackled, and the yellow paper in front of the grave could burn for half a day.

   "If you were to burn your clothes, go back and wait to be beaten?" Seeing his son being dragged by a few friends to the graveyard to pick up artillery battles, Dad Yang shouted. Then he hurried to his dad: "I haven't returned to join the army yet?"

   "No, who knows where the wild is going." Compared with Grandma Yang Dongxu's spoiling of his younger son, Grandpa Yang Dongxu was a little annoyed at his younger son here.

  Especially a few thousand years ago, the Chinese cabbage was basically sold by Yang's father. His little son is always lazy and constantly asking for money to make him more dissatisfied.

   "Is Silver Mountain back?" Yang Da asked.

   "It doesn't seem to be." Grandpa Yang Dongxu looked at the crowd and shook his head.

   Just out of the graveyard, a man rushed out of the house, who could not see who was Yinshan.

   "Grandpa Seven, Dad Asako, hurry back, hurry... beat... beaten." Yinshan hurriedly shouted.

   "What fight, make it clear?" Dad Yang froze for a moment.

  The same village who went to the grave together heard that something might have happened in the village, so everyone speeded up and ran to the village.
