The next day, Yang Dongxu saw his brother-in-law joining the army again after a year.
The Big Lama jeans are not hot when worn on the body. Wearing toad glasses, it does feel like leading the trend of this era. If he had a big tape recorder on his shoulders, he would really be a young man in the city.
Joining the army in this uniform naturally attracted the attention of many people in the village, which made him feel more out of place. But the fact is that it was originally felt that the Yang family was getting up, and several people who were wondering if they could help Yang Dongxu, the younger brother-in-law, to find a matchmaker, were now hiding away.
Just ask who dares to push the girl into this fire pit? Grandma Yang Dongxu forgot about the shooting of her eldest son because she felt that her son would gain face by being around. Others remembered it very clearly. There were many people who were jealous of the Yang family and were waiting to see the joke.
"Brother, I'm not telling you, how much money do you make from farming at home? Do you know how much money I spend in and out of my casino in a day? I'd be scared to death if I tell you..."
Seeing his brother-in-law bragging to his father beside him and bragging to no end, Yang Dongxu rubbed his forehead, feeling glad that he was back this time. If I wait until the Chinese New Year to come back, my brother-in-law will really go to heaven.
"You are so capable, what about the money you earn? Did you buy a piece of clothing for our father and mother, or did you add other things to the family?" Listening to his brother bragging, he didn't like Father Yang at first, but he was also attracted by his brother. Treating him as a 'negative teaching material', and in front of his own son, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's nothing. I'll buy it for my father and my mother tomorrow." Uncle Yang Dongxu's mouth twitched a few times, but in addition to being older now, he is also thick-skinned.
How can a bastard like him save money in his pocket? This is even more unreliable than a sow climbing a tree. Not to mention the money he spent to "open his eyes" in the city, the few widows or young wives with little reputation in the town squeezed all the money out of his pocket, leaving his pocket whiter than his face.
"Stop pulling those useless things and take off your eyesore clothes and go to the ground. The watermelons are growing well in the ground. My parents are reluctant to hoe out the soybeans. Now there are a lot of ripe melons in the ground. Quickly pick them and sell them. Otherwise, it will be ruined if it rains in a few days and soaks in the ground." For his younger brother who already has a bad temper for future generations, Father Yang obviously knows how to treat his words as farts.
"How much money can you make from those watermelons? It's not as good as..."
"You are mumbling, do you believe I will beat you?" Father Yang stood up and stared at his brother with a very unkind look.
Joining the army, he quickly got up and ran away. His brother had beaten him a lot before he got married. Although Grandma Yang Dongxu protected him even more after they got married, Father Yang didn't touch him. But he is still a little afraid of his brother.
After going to the back house to say hello to his grandparents, Yang Dongxu followed his parents and family to his grandpa's house. It was too late yesterday, I must go to my grandpa’s house today.
I haven't seen my grandson for more than a year, and my grandparents are also panicking. Yang Dongxu's little grandpa even asked several times how to get to Yanjing. If grandpa hadn't stopped him, he might have gone to Yanjing to find Yang Dongxu.
Ever since Yang Dongxu went to Yanjing, his little grandfather always felt that his life was not easy and everything he did was not going well. He missed his grandson very much.
He was already eight years old, so he was naturally embarrassed to have his little grandpa on his neck again. In addition, he was sweating every time he moved on a hot day, so it was uncomfortable for the two of them to be too close.
After a meal, Father Yang chatted with Grandpa Yang Dongxu, while Yang Dongxu followed Grandpa Yang to the pig pen. After the production team here in Ranyoufang was divided into areas, my grandfather's family asked for an old sow.
So now we have a large pigsty built at home, but rural people are not as particular about pig feeding as later generations. They only feed two tons a day, one meal in the middle of the day, and one meal in the evening.
However, the weather in July is already hot. At noon, we need to carry a few buckets of water from the well and pour it into the pig pen to cool down the old sow and several piglets.
Yang Dongxu’s grandfather didn’t like farming, so raising pigs became his daily job. The first litter of piglets after being assigned to the old sow has been sold out, and the piglets in the pigpen now were just born a month ago.
Watching the little grandpa pouring water into the sink, seven or eight piglets ran over and kept rubbing in the sink, which was very lively.
As for Yang Dongxu, who raises pigs at his grandfather's house, he still praises his grandfather's vision from the bottom of his heart. If he sticks to this path, he will have no problem with food and clothing in the future. Even though the scale is still a bit small, if we can build a larger pig farm, the family will be very prosperous in the next few decades.
Yang Dongxu came back from his grandfather's house after four or five o'clock in the afternoon. After all, he just came back and wanted to stay with his parents for a while, so he didn't stay at his grandfather's house to play. He promised to stay there for a few days before returning.
The reason why I didn't stay at my grandpa's house was that besides wanting to spend more time with my parents, my uneasy uncle was also one of the main reasons.
However, the next two days were peaceful, and Yang Dongxu slowly relaxed and started his leisurely life. Knowing that monkeys must be caught, the ones caught last year were actually fed to chickens, which made Yang Dongxu full of resentment.
After a heavy rain, in the trench of the house, frogs were everywhere in the fields. I took a fertilizer bag with a layer of waterproof film inside, stuffed the sharp corner at the bottom of the bag, and made a cone like a hat nest. The bag body forms a simple raincoat.
It is very convenient to wear it on the head to prevent rain and not affect movement. There are no long rubber shoes now, and rural children basically don’t use them. They just throw off the shoes on their feet and wear big pants without even having to roll up the warehouse pipes. Then they start walking barefoot in the woods around the village. rock.
My sister went to play Shizi. Shizi is one of the favorite games for rural children. Both men and women can play together. Everyone goes to the field and picks up 10 pieces of mortar of suitable size, either bricks or stones, the size of small dates is the best.
Several people piled the stones together and started to divide into teams. Then they held the stones in both hands and threw them up with the backs of their hands to catch them. The backs of their hands were thrown up to catch the falling stone.
The next step is to throw up the caught stones again, but this time the hand that threw the stones has to go down to pick up the previously fallen stones from the ground. Some of the stones are very close together. When you move your hands down to pick up the stones, pick up at least 2 at a time.
But as long as you pick it up, you must hold it in your hands and then catch the stones just thrown up. It is considered complete when the pebbles picked up are not missed in one's hand, and the pebbles just thrown are caught intact, and other pebbles picked up are not touched during the picking process.
If you just picked up 2 stones, then you now have 3 stones in your hand. Repeat the above action of throwing up, catching it with the back of your hand, and then throwing up again.
If you picked up three just now, then you will be considered a winner by picking up 1 stone. Repeat the above action until you finally pick up all the stones dropped by your team in accordance with the regulations. If there is any foul in the process If the team fails, another team will be replaced and so on.
There is another way to play. When you throw it with the back of your hand, you can pick up a few more stones in your hand. Then when you throw it up to pick up the stones, you can pick up one or more. Just make sure you have 3 or more stones in your hand. That’s it.
However, when picking up stones in this way, you must catch all the stones that are thrown up. If you miss one, it will be considered a failure and someone else will be replaced.
There is also a way to accumulate points with five stones, and another way to accumulate points with three stones. Yang Dongxu is definitely a master at playing this game.
To be precise, Yang Dongxu was the king of children when he was a child before he was reborn. Whether it was a boy's matching skin, a pickup truck made of paper, or a slingshot skill, girls could pick up balls, skip rope, etc. He could play shuttlecock better than the girls, and he even danced rubber bands with the girls in his class when he was in junior high school.
All in all, when it comes to playing, he is particularly attentive and extremely talented in this area. But now it was obvious that he couldn't play with it anymore. His six-year-old sister obviously didn't know how to play with picks with her little hands, so he could only wear a homemade raincoat and hold her little hand to pick out cicada monkeys.
There is no radiation from future novels, computer games, or mobile phones. Yang Dongxu’s eyes are particularly good at this time. As he walked, he could see pinnose-sized holes in the ground.
Pick it with your fingers. If the hole becomes larger, there must be a cicada monkey inside, and it is a large cicada monkey. Such holes are basically not deep. If you open the hole, you can see that the cicada monkey can pinch it out with just a stretch of its little finger.
There is also a small size of cicada, which is a bit smaller than the monkey hole. It is only as thick as a seven or eight-year-old child's finger. It is most convenient to catch it on a sunny day. You can just find a tree under a tree and scrape off a layer of the ground with a hoe. It doesn't need to be very thick. A finger or two's thickness will do.
Then you can see that there are a lot of small holes under the scraped ground. These small holes are usually very deep and have small openings, so it is obviously impossible to dig them out by hand.
At this time, you need to take a canned bottle or other container to fill the water in the ditch next to it, and then pour it into these small holes. After a while, the little fingernail-sized cicada monkey will crawl out on its own. .
But that thing is too small and not easy to clean, so when he had nothing to play with, Yang Dongxu used to take it out as a game and take it home to feed the chickens. Now Yang Dongxu doesn’t have time to do that, so he will look for more large-sized cicadas. The key point is to go back and fry the monkey.
Yang Dongxu, who had been holding his sister's hand for a short time, had already found a dozen of them and threw them into the glass jar that had been holding cans in his sister Dandan's arms. There were already half a can.
Shaking off the mud on his hands, he washed his hands with some water from the big leaves of a small sycamore tree. Yang Dongxu picked a few red wild strawberries and stuffed them into his mouth. Well, it was still the original recipe and the familiar taste. He poured it into his sister's mouth. He also stuffed a few pills into his mouth and continued moving forward.
In about half an afternoon, I finished a can full of cicada monkey, so I went back home and cleaned it with a brush. A fried cicada monkey at noon would definitely taste great.
After walking a few steps back home, a snake passed by. The frightened sister Dandan threw the can and bottle out. Fortunately, it was covered with a lid and the cicada didn't spill it.
