But at least the watermelon didn't lose money. Although it was a little tired, rural people have a lot of strength, and it doesn't matter if the strength is used up.
So after complaining about her husband for a few words, Yang's mother focused on her precious son: "Why are you still standing here, why don't you catch a chicken and kill it? Mom will make you a chicken wrapped in fine powder to eat tonight."
The first half of the sentence was naturally addressed to Yang's father, and the second half, which lost the anger and was full of motherly love, was definitely addressed to Yang Dongxu.
Take out all the food in your luggage and put it into the back room. The food that should be distributed to the children in the village has been distributed, and you have gained face. You should put these things away and leave them for your children to eat slowly, otherwise the children will come back a few times and still not finish them all.
Looking at his chubby sister standing next to him, eating sweets and looking at him with big eyes, Yang Dongxu reached out to hug her. Dandan hid in her mother's arms. Although she was very happy that her brother, whose memory was a little blurry, had brought back a lot of delicious food, she didn't dare to touch him too much.
But who is Yang Dongxu? You still can’t handle this little loli...ah, you still can’t coax your own sister? All kinds of toys were put into battle, as well as all kinds of brightly colored children's clothes. In less than an hour, Dandan started following behind and calling her brother in a sweet voice.
In the evening, before Yang Dongxu could go to his grandparents' house with his things, a few of his close relatives went to their homes. My grandparents came to the front house after returning from geography work.
Grandma kept some pickled duck eggs and some rock candy that she was reluctant to eat to see her eldest grandson, whom she had not seen for more than a year. Since the uncle's gambling incident, the relationship between the two families has eased a lot.
Especially in recent months, even the grandmother, who has always been doting on her youngest son, is particularly displeased when uncle Yang Dongxu joins the army. Speaking of this matter, we should also talk about growing watermelons.
Yang Dongxu foresaw that there would be a lot of people growing watermelons this year, so he vaccinated his father Yang in advance. However, the extent of blindly following the trend was beyond his expectation. Even his grandfather’s family planted five acres of watermelons this year.
Fortunately, although there are watermelon growers in other villages, there are not as many as in Yangjiacun. After all, they are from other villages. Although they heard that Yang Dongxu's family has made money growing watermelons, they are not as impressed as the people in Yangjiacun.
Therefore, except for some brave ones, not many people grow watermelons. But the watermelon output in Yangjia Village alone has exceeded 300,000 kilograms. This incident not only alarmed the town, but also the district.
This year's food harvest has just been great, and everyone can have enough to eat. Who dares to waste the food? Although watermelon cannot be completely considered as food, do you dare to let it rot in the ground? It would be strange if God didn't strike you with lightning.
So throughout June, the entire Yangjia Village struggled with watermelons. Until the wheat harvest was over, many people simply abandoned the fields that could still bear watermelons. It was time to plant soybeans and corn. The disaster of this watermelon harvest was just Calculate the past.
However, even if the district is offering to deliver the watermelon, the price of watermelon is still not high. Although it is not a loss in retrospect, growing this thing is really tiring. Not only weeding every day, but also someone has to watch to avoid being eaten by pheasants. , Hedgehogs and other beasts were ruined.
Grandpa Yang Dongxu’s family was so generous that they produced five acres of watermelons in one go, which was the most in the entire Yangjia Village. Naturally, it was Uncle Yang Dongxu who joined the army to mess with it.
Remembering to eat but not to fight is a true portrayal of his brother-in-law. After the gambling incident, he joined the army for a period of time. Even if he did not gamble again, he returned to his previous temperament, so he planted so many watermelons at once to prove himself. .
As a result, I had never done any market research, or in other words, I didn’t even know what market research was and had no long-term vision. I just made the decision to join the army as soon as my brain was hot and I slapped my thigh. Once again, I proved myself in a trap.
Even Yang's father persuaded him several times to grow corn like his own family, and the two of them went to the city to sell it, but they refused to listen. They had to grow watermelons, all of them, and this resulted in the current situation.
"Where's my uncle? I'll call him." After Yang's mother repeatedly asked him to stay, Yang Dongxu's grandparents decided to have dinner at their eldest son's house. Yang Dongxu asked when he saw that his brother-in-law was no longer there.
"Not at home, he died in the town again." Grandpa Yang Dongxu said angrily.
"Why did he die in the town? He also went to do things, okay?" Although she was a little dissatisfied with her youngest son, Grandma Yang Dongxu still did not allow others to say anything wrong about her youngest son, even if this person was her son and his father. .
"What kind of serious business is that?" Grandpa, who rarely talks back to grandma, rarely showed his dissatisfaction this time.
"Why don't you call it business? When you go to town, everyone bows and hands you cigarettes. Isn't it because of your son's face that they will ignore you, a bad old man?" Grandma Yang Dongxu's momentum became stronger and stronger.
"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel, mother, you go help Ying Ma cook, I'll go to the village head uncle's house to buy a bottle of wine, and have some with dad tonight." Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel, Yang Dad quickly came out to dissuade me.
Looking at the very angry grandma and the particularly angry grandpa, Yang Dongxu couldn't figure out what happened for a while.
But soon he understood what was going on.
The fact that Da Laoliu was arrested and even shot did indeed curb the evil spirits in Wuli Town and nearby villages and towns. But it didn't take long for this kind of convergence to start blowing again after Waizi came out for some reason.
I don’t know if it was because of the shooting of Da Laoliu that Waizi saw the power of Yang Dongxu’s family, so after he came out, he went to Yangjia Village to visit many times. He even went to Yang Dongxu’s grandfather’s house several times.
But for such a bastard, neither Yang Dongxu's family nor his grandfather's family were serious farmers and no one paid any attention to him. So during this trip, he got together with Yang Dongxu's brother-in-law who was unwilling to be lonely.
Then it didn't take long for the closed casino in Da Lao Liu to become prosperous again, although this time it was not as blatant as Da Lao Liu. But as the limelight slowly passed, nothing happened. At this time, the small casino was no better than Da Laoliu at that time.
When Yang Dongxu's brother-in-law joined the army, he was deceived from the beginning and turned into a deceitful bastard. During this time, I was very respectable in the town. I even wandered around the city a few times and met many respectable brothers. After all, who wouldn't give him face if he could be related to the top leaders in the district?
Yang Dongxu couldn't help frowning when he heard this situation. He knew that his rebirth would bring changes to Yangjiacun and the people around him. For example, the great grandfather did not open a small shop in Yangjiacun before he was reborn, but now he has opened one.
The life of his own family and the life of his grandfather's family have become better. This kind of change is something he is happy to see. But this kind of change is definitely not what my uncle wants. If my brother-in-law continues to change like this, the severe crackdown in 1983 will not involve their family, or Chen Weimin will not say it, there is definitely a high possibility that a peanut will get mixed up in the end.
"Grandpa, uncle, this is not okay." During dinner in the evening, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but said at the dinner table.
Since there are no relatives here, there is no custom that women cannot serve at the table. The whole family gathers around the table to eat.
Upon hearing Yang Dongxu's words, his grandfather was stunned for a moment, and his grandmother was immediately a little unhappy. Although he didn't say anything, his expression was already wrong. After Yang Dongxu's parents were stunned for a moment, Yang's father reached out and wanted to hit his son. He was not qualified to speak on this matter, let alone a little kid like Yang Dongxu.
Before Father Yang could leave, Yang Dongxu continued: "Da Laoliu used to run a casino, but he was shot."
This sentence made the expressions of sister Hongying change at the dinner table, except for Dandan who was not very sensible.
"This can't be done, we don't know each other..." Grandma Yang Dongxu's heart suddenly stopped.
"How is it impossible? Someone was shot for opening a casino, but our family can continue to make money by opening a casino and nothing will happen? Can he be more crooked than Da Laoliu? This kind of thing is illegal, and you can't even know anyone.
Da Laoliu was wearing a pair of trousers when he had a good relationship with the deputy mayor who stepped down. There was also a backstage in the district, but he was shot dead. Can this crook end up well? "Yang Dongxu continued to speak.
Because the matter of Da Laoliu involved the Yang family, Chen Weimin talked with Zhou Yiren, and Yang Dongxu was sitting next to him at that time. So he knows a little more than others.
"Didn't the crooked boy come out after squatting for a few days?" Grandma Yang Dongxu was obviously still a little unwilling to give up.
During this time, he went to the town market to go to the market and was complimented. He was obviously a little overwhelmed. Even if his son was a bastard, his reputation had already been ruined.
"I don't know how he came out. Either the circumstances are not very serious, or someone fished him out. There is nothing to say about the circumstances not being serious. If he was fished out, it would definitely cost a lot of money. If something really happens, our family is prepared to help. How much does it cost to fish out my uncle?"
"Xigua didn't make any money at all today. I won't be able to get the money out by then." Others said Yang's mother directly expressed her position without saying anything.
Although when things really happen, you still have to pay for it, and you still have to find someone to have a relationship with. But Yang Ma still said these words in front of her. The 100 yuan at the beginning of last year still hurts when she thinks about it now. It was enough money to buy several little piglets.
"It shouldn't happen. Besides, your uncle is just running errands for the crook." Grandma Yang Dongxu's tone changed a bit.
"It's just a matter of running errands. I'm just afraid that the crook did use the money, and the things he committed were neither big nor small, so no one will hold them accountable. The only reason why we can open this casino now is that it's a bullshit Our family knows Commissioner Chen, who uses tiger skin as a banner. If something goes wrong, he will directly push his brother-in-law above him, and he will become an errand boy." Yang Dongxu curled his lips.
As a person who has experienced this, Yang Dongxu has seen too many things like this. So many people were looking for his brother-in-law to join the army. Was it really the two of them who had the same chemistry? Save it, a gangster like Waizi would compliment you like this if he couldn't get any benefit from you?
"Let's go, let's have something to eat. Call the army back quickly." Grandma Yang Dongxu was really panicking now.
No one can be calm about the serious crime of decapitation, let alone his beloved son.
