Yang Dongxu has three grandfather and brothers, as well as an older sister and a younger sister. Among the three brothers, Yang Dongxu's second grandfather is the most promising and is still serving in the army.
If China is divided into four corners: east, west, north and south, Yang Dongxu's second grandfather has never been to the west except the west. Yang Dongxu's second grandfather served as a soldier in the remaining triangles, but his position was never high. In the words of Yang Dongxu's second grandfather: "For the first half of my life, I followed the army all over China. I didn't take any advantage or suffer any disadvantages."
Yang Dongxu's great-grandma and great-grandfather died early, and there was no condition to arrange a marriage at first. By the time conditions improved and I could start a business, my little grandpa would already be in his thirties.
The young grandfather has a stubborn temper and is unwilling to marry a widow, but in this era when people get married at 17 or 18, or even 15 or 16, who has a girl in her thirties?
In Yang Dongxu's memory, his young grandfather was still a bachelor until his death. Two years later, when society gradually liberalized, he gave up his current job and went boating under the pressure of the neighbors.
After earning some money, his standard of living was pretty good throughout his life, and he lived a very cool life in Yang Dongxu's opinion. It is a bit miserable to die without any biological children to support you in old age.
Yang Dongxu's grandfather only had four daughters and no sons. Among them, his mother and aunt were his biological children. His aunt and second aunt were brought here by his grandmother when he fled.
So in addition to the second grandfather who had some skills and found a wife by himself, Yang Dongxu's grandfather also married a widow. This kind of thing is very common in this era. Until the death of his young grandfather, Yang Dongxu couldn't figure out why he insisted not to marry a widow.
Yang Xudong ran to the farm tool house of the threshing floor at the west end of the village and saw his little grandpa taking a nap. He ran over and called him "little grandpa." The thirty-year-old grandpa put Yang Dongxu on his neck and started to play with him.
In his previous life, he had a good relationship with his little grandpa, especially when he was a child, his second grandpa's family no longer lived here, his eldest aunt's son was older than Yang Dongxu's father, and his second aunt's family usually ate commercial food in the city and never came back.
The first child on the aunt's side is still a daughter. As for the son on the aunt's side and the second aunt's side, the grandpa doesn't pay much attention to them at all. So Yang Dongxu, his little grandson, became his darling. He would give him whatever he asked for, and he would be doted on more than Yang Dongxu's own grandfather.
"Little grandpa, slingshot, slingshot..." Although he knew that although his little grandpa was a little short, he was very strong, and his legs would not fall off if he held them in his big hands, but he still couldn't help but hug him. The little grandpa yelled on his forehead.
slingshot! Yes, this is the reason why Yang Dongxu came to his little grandpa. The little grandpa not only manages the farm tool house in Ranyoufang, he usually works in the countryside, repairing bicycles.
Don't think it's just a bike repair, not a car. The social status of bicycles at this time was not lower than that of cars in later generations. It was definitely a rarity for any family to have a bicycle. So my grandpa is definitely a skilled worker.
Although the young grandfather in his thirties is not a gangster, he is a bit playful because he is single. He had the guns of the militia brigade, but Yang Xudong obviously couldn't ask for that, so he could only retreat and ask for a slingshot.
The slingshot can be said to be an artifact in the hands of children in this era. The slingshot bag can be barely used by sewing rags together. The slingshot stand can be made of wood, but rubber bands are not so easy to get.
This rubber band is not the kind of rubber band that girls use to tie their hair. It is a rubber band that is cut into a small section and used in the inflator of a car. This is an excellent material for making a slingshot.
Yang Dongxu's grandfather's own slingshot was made of this rubber band, and his first slingshot was given to him by his grandfather. But that was when he was over nine years old.
"Here, but you can't pull it open." The little grandpa bent down and took out a slingshot from under his pillow.
There are three rubber bands on one side of the slingshot to form six lines, and the two sides together make 12 lines. The short-range power of this thing is similar to that of bullets. The heads of pheasants and wild ducks can be blown away with a slingshot.
He held the slingshot in his little hand and pulled it. The strength of the 12 rubber bands was indeed beyond the strength of Yang Dongxu, who was less than six years old. Even though he is a rural child, he is usually very strong.
But this is not for his own use. He took this thing back for his father to use. Yang Dongxu's father, Yang Ru, married his mother when he was just over seventeen years old.
His mother is three years older than his father and has only been married for more than eight years, which means his father is only twenty-five years old now. What can a twenty-five-year-old do in the Hereafter? I have just graduated from college a few years ago, which is the age when I am still training in society.
Although he has become a father at such an old age in the countryside, he still loves to play. In summer, when people from the same village swim in the river and compete and chase each other, the figure of Yang Dongxu’s father is never missing.
Yang Dongxu still swam every summer when he was in elementary school. It wasn't until his father was in his thirties that he became more steady.
Of course, taking this slingshot back was not just for my father to show off to. It is to deal with pheasants and wild ducks. Although there are many wild animals now, weasels are even running around the house to catch mice. But even if the wild animal is a little dazed, it is not stupid. If you catch it, it will definitely run away.
Although rural people have good physical strength, it is impossible to catch up with the pheasants that spread their wings and fly from time to time in the wilderness and the wild ducks in the river. Although grandpa Yang Dongxu could borrow the gun from the famous army for a few days, he obviously couldn't give it to his father to play with.
Moreover, his father's slingshot skills can be said to be perfect, but Yang Dongxu doesn't know how good his marksmanship is. As for the reason why he knew that his father had superb slingshot skills, it was naturally because Yang Dongxu didn't play with it as much as his father did with Yang Dongxu's first slingshot.
He was nine years old, and his father still snatched his toys. He cried just thinking about meeting such an unreliable father.
After playing around for a while, the little grandpa wanted to put away the slingshot. After all, this was one of the artifacts he showed off. Grandpa has already called for dinner. But when he wanted Yang Dongxu, he burst into tears. After trying twice, the little grandpa gave up.
Anyway, Yang Dongxu won't go home until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. He may even stay here for two days without going home. Find an opportunity to use candy, or get a small wooden knife or something to coax him down. There is no need to make the child cry at this time.
After lunch, my mother took my little sister and went to visit the neighbors. The little sister was only three years old and came to a relatively unfamiliar place. Naturally, her mother had to take her with her. He, an older brother, couldn't coax her.
The little grandpa carried Yang Dongxu to the farm tool house. After a while, he got on the horse with an old man from the same village. He glanced at Yang Dongxu who had the slingshot hanging around his neck. The little kids around him wouldn't touch him no matter how much they coaxed him. , could only hang on his neck and watch, and even waved his fists to beat one of them to tears.
The little grandpa was completely relieved, so he started to thrust with all his strength. He must beat the little old man opposite him all over the ground. He dared to challenge his own thrusting skills, especially when Yang Dongxu came over to cheer for his little grandpa. Come on, even my sixth uncle can't show mercy.
"Little grandpa, I'm going back to grandpa's house to play. Hurry up and defeat the sixth grandpa to come and play with me." Yang Dongxu shouted to the little grandpa who was chasing after a few kids for a while.
"Well, I'll be there in a minute. Don't lose the slingshot." The little grandpa waved his hand without raising his head.
"I said you can't win this game, Xiaoxiao (little grandpa's nickname)." The sixth grandpa, who had already lost two games and had a pipe in his mouth, immediately became angry when he heard Yang Dongxu's shouts and the little grandpa's too much. Don't want to anymore.
Originally, he was a bit disgraced when his horse-instrumentation skills were lost to a junior, not to mention being looked down upon by a child.
"So what if you lose this set, you've already lost two sets." The little grandpa still didn't give face to his sixth uncle, the same clan.
"Little grandpa, run away. The sixth grandpa is going to beat someone if he loses." Before the sixth grandpa could say anything, Yang Dongxu started to make noises next to him again.
A group of neighbors who were watching laughed loudly.
Seeing that there was really no hope of winning this game, the little grandpa threw away the stick in his hand and prepared to stand up and walk around with Yang Dongxu, or go to the countryside to buy some candies for him to eat. Except for letting no one touch his little grandson, except for holding a slingshot, his words made him so happy that he must be rewarded.
"The first step doesn't count. Don't leave. Let's play a few more games. I still don't believe it." Seeing that the young grandpa wanted to leave, the sixth great-grandfather naturally didn't want to.
"The next few games will be the same. You have to believe in Xie today." The little grandpa sat back down as soon as his butt left the ground. I must prove my horse-inserting skills to see who will dare to question my young skills in the future.
Seeing that it was impossible for his little grandpa to leave here in a short time, Yang Dongxu grinned and ran towards his grandpa's house accompanied by a few little kids.
"Dad, I want to go home." Yang Dongxu shouted loudly when he ran to his grandfather's house.
"Going home to what? You were clamoring at home to come, but when you came, you went home again, and made you angry." Yang Dongxu's father glared at Yang Dongxu without hesitation. If his grandfather hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have slapped him on the butt. On.
"Xu Zi, come on, grandma here has rock candy." Grandma Yang Dongxu waved to him.
Yang Dongxu's grandma is an old lady with small feet, which is obviously not good for being born in this era. After all, only ladies from wealthy families have their feet bound.
"No, I want to go home." Yang Dongxu endured the cold and began to act coquettishly.
"You're really shaking the world." Father Yang stood up with a roar, reaching out to grab Yang Dongxu and slap him on the butt.
"Anyway, it's nothing. If he wants to go back, you go back and spank the child to see." Grandpa, who had been silent for a long time, glared. In this era, intergenerational kisses are also very popular, not to mention that grandpa only has Yang Dongxu, his eldest grandson. .
After being glared at by his grandfather, Yang Dongxu's father naturally lost his temper instantly. However, the look he was looking at his son was obviously unfriendly, and he was ready to find an opportunity to repair this boy.
The conversation was almost over. Although it was still early, it was still around two o'clock in the afternoon. Ask Yang Dongxu to call his mother while he packs his things and prepares to leave.
When he was holding Yang Dongxu and preparing to leave, his father was stunned for a moment when he saw the slingshot around his neck, and then said: "Leave the slingshot to your little grandpa."
