Mr. Zhou's house is not small, after all, there are farm tools and other sundries in the village, and even if they are small, they can't fit down. However, in the past, the tools and miscellaneous items were piled up haphazardly, and a little tidying up can free up a lot of space.

In addition to all kinds of farm tools, the most in the house is books, which occupy almost one-third of the area of the entire farm house, and in front of the pile of books is a small bed quilt that looks a little thin, and then there are all kinds of sundries.

Since the production team stopped eating big pot rice, a simple kitchen was simply built out of wood and thatch at the door of the farmhouse, and a pot with a notch on several adobe pieces was set up, which is where Mr. Zhou usually eats.

"Brother go. A childish voice rang out from the large, but cramped, farm tool room.

Mr. Zhou, who was looking down and was comparing books with thick bricks, raised his head and looked at it, and two children came into his eyes.

As soon as he entered here, Yang Dongxu was shocked by the pair of books, especially those thread-bound books that looked a little old, which made him almost drool when he thought of antiques.

And the extreme silence made Dandan, who was only three years old, obviously a little scared, so after standing for a while and finding that his brother was not moving, he couldn't help but pull him to break the silence.

"Go out and play, there's nothing fun here, be careful of your grandpa beating your ass here. Zhou Yiren glanced up at Yang Dongxu and waved his hand to let the two children leave.

Zhou Renyi is very tall, more than 1.8 meters tall, this size is obviously tall now. After several years of hardship, especially mental pressure, his hair was gray and his waist was a little rickety.

"Can I read those books?" Yang Dongxu obviously wouldn't leave because of Zhou Yiren's words, but pointed to the pile of books behind Zhou Yiren and said.

"Brother go. Without waiting for Zhou Yiren to speak, the little cloth dot next to her pulled Yang Dongxu again, and tears had begun to roll in her small eyes.

Obviously, Dandan, who is only three years old, has never seen Zhou Yiren, and she is already strong when she is not directly scared to cry when she is so big. But no matter how strong you are, you don't want to stay in this place.

"Do you want to read?" Zhou Yiren glanced at Yang Dongxu, then took off the missing temple on the bridge of his nose, took the string as a string and put it on his ears, and wiped it with his clothes.

"That...... Next time. Yang Dongxu smiled apologetically, turned around and took Dandan's little hand, he couldn't hold it, he could only hold it halfway, and coaxed him as he walked: "Don't cry, don't cry, my brother will find you candy to eat in a while." ”

Although the relationship with Zhou Yiren is very important, the younger sister is even more important. In his previous life, Yang Dongxu owed himself a lot of this sister, and her sister later met her brother-in-law who was far away in SC and married in other places.

In his forties, he is still an old bachelor, and he basically does not go home, even if it is for the Spring Festival, he only goes back once in a few years. Parents are almost taken care of by his younger sister, and now Yang Dongxu feels less guilty about his parents than he does about the younger sister in front of him. Seeing my sister crying is naturally a big deal, and whatever kind of relationship is to find help, all stand aside.

Looking at Yang Dongxu who coaxed Dandan to leave, Zhou Yiren couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, although his eyes were a little bad after he took off his glasses, but Yang Dongxu was not far away, and his expression could be seen clearly.

So Yang Dongxu's wry smile just now, helpless, but he couldn't hide his doting look was seen by Zhou Yiren. These expressions that obviously shouldn't have appeared on the face of this doll who is less than six years old in front of him were vividly expressed in an instant.

It's like an adult doting on his daughter, which makes Zhou Yiren feel dazzled for a while. Hurriedly put on his glasses, what Yang Dongxu left behind was just a back and words that are often used in the countryside to coax children.

Shaking his head to clear up his somewhat trance-like brain, Zhou Yiren continued to look down at the book, but Yang Dongxu's appearance left an impression in his mind.

Sugar Yang Dongxu's family obviously does not have it, and all kinds of materials are extremely lacking in this era of planned economy. Except for the fact that the grandfather, as a cadre, can receive a better salary and treatment, and occasionally a few pieces of rock candy will appear in his pocket, the whole village can't find a few pieces of candy when they rummage through it.

Coming out of the farm tool house, following Da Liang's little boys, running from the east to the west of the threshing floor, from the north to the south, chasing each other, you don't know what you're playing anyway, you're having a good time.

Holding his sister Dandan Yang Dongxu also grinned, but obviously he was not as happy as the little children around him, so he just ran along not to relive his childhood. It's that his small body is a little weak, and it's all exercise.

The big kids who went to school at noon came back, and the threshing floor was even more lively, either this one hit the other, or the other beat this one and cried, but the tears didn't dry for a while and they started to go crazy together again.

was afraid that his sister would cry because of her small size, so Yang Dongxu took her home after the eldest child participated.

When I got home, Yang Dongxu's sister was cooking a pot and preparing to cook, and there was not much homework in elementary school this year, because there were only two books on Chinese and mathematics. As for English, ideology and morality, it is a textbook that is only available in junior high school, and the current primary school is not so particular.

I don't even learn much English, how do I say it: I'm a Chinese, I don't learn foreign languages, I don't know ABC, so I will be my successor......

So when the older girls in the family come home, they basically help with housework, or take younger siblings or something, and it is the norm for older girls to work in the fields. The meal was only halfway done, and Yang Dongxu's father returned home after the meeting.

"What do you say?" Mama Yang hurriedly asked.

"Wait and see, let's see what happens over there. I don't know about the big daddy's fish splitting that Wang Yadao stabbed to the brigade (several natural village superiors), and he was called to the brigade by the captain last night, and he only came back this morning. ”

"Daddy is okay, right?" Mama Yang's face changed.

"It's okay, how can there be anything, the hundred and ten families in our Yangjia Village are not easy to mess with, if they dare to lock up the big daddy, the third uncle and they would have already summoned people to dismantle the brigade, saying that they stayed at the captain's house all night, and they don't know what they talked about. Dad Yang waved his hand.

Now the family strength in the countryside is much stronger than that of the same villager with the same surname in the future, and basically when something happens to a villager in the village, a group of villagers rush over. The little children who go to school know to call for help from the senior students in the same village when they fight at school, not to mention that the grandfather is the village head.

Closing the grandfather is equivalent to slapping Yangjiacun in the face, in this era when face is more important than anything else, the places where the demolition team closes people are light, and if you don't get the captain, you will be beaten.

"Mom, I want to go to grandpa's house to play?" Yang Dongxu shouted during the meal.

"Where to go, stay at home honestly. Yang's mother took the chopsticks and knocked them on her son's head.

At this time, it can be said that it is a burden to go to relatives, not too far away. It's that there is not much food at the relatives' house, and if you go to someone's house for the sake of face, you will definitely have to entertain them, isn't this adding trouble to the relatives?

After the beating, Yang's mother put down her chopsticks and said, "Why don't you go to our father's side tomorrow and ask?"

Yang Dongxu's grandfather is in the Ran Oil Mill seven or eight miles away, although Yang Dongxu doesn't know where the oil mill in that place is located since he was a child, but that village is called this name.

Compared with Yangjia Village, Ranyoufang is smaller, there are only about 50 households, but there is a primary school in the village, and it is very close to the township government and the seat of the house, Yang Dongxu's grandfather is the village chief of the village, and his family is very famous in ten miles and eight townships.

When his mother married his father, it was considered a marriage. Yang Dongxu's father is considered to be a high climber, and occasionally when the husband and wife quarrel. Yang Dongxu's mother always likes to use this matter to pressure his father.

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow. Dad Yang nodded.

Compared with Yang Dongxu's grandfather, who can only talk to the captain, Yang Dongxu's grandfather is a person who can talk to the township cadres. The township is obviously more advanced than the brigade, so it is naturally better informed.

Two cabbages and a carp, don't be too little, this is already a big gift, and the gift during the New Year is also two packets of fruit (not fruits, sealed bags of Dajing fruits and other gifts) and two packs of sugar. The rich four bags of fruits, four bags of sugar, and the richer ones with fine noodles are already decent people.

As for the big fish, no matter how rich the person is, he will not give it, because there is no fish at home. The fish are almost finished in the water, but you just can't eat them.

Looking at the carp, Yang Dongxu felt that yesterday's chopsticks were in vain. Because the carp is now alive and kicking, this is obviously not just caught from the trench of the house, but the big carp that was distributed to their family Yang Dongxu's father did not kill and clean it up at all, but put it in the water tank and raised it.

Naturally, my mother had planned to give it to my grandfather's house for a long time, even if Yang Dongxu didn't say more during dinner yesterday, he would have to go to his grandfather's house in the past two days.

In those days, relatives could only go by foot, and although there were ox carts in the village, it was collective property, and it was obvious that private individuals could not take advantage of it.

Yang Dongxu's mother hugged his sister Dandan, and his father carried a basket of cabbage and carp and covered it with a cloth. Although such a gift bucket is more suitable to carry on a flat shoulder, you can show it.

But Yang Dongxu's father obviously doesn't want to make trouble for his grandfather, after all, people know that people know, and it's wrong for you to show off.

I went to the back house and said hello to my grandfather, and asked my sister Hongying to come back at noon and go to their house for lunch and go to school. Yang Dongxu had no one to hug him, so he could only run behind him.

Yang Dongxu, who was out of breath after walking a distance, rode on his father's neck as he wished, but before he was holding the basket in one hand and holding his father's neck for a while, the little sister in his mother's arms cried.

There was no way for Yang Dongxu to come down and let his mother carry it, and the little sister Dandan was very cheerful on her father's neck. The little hands grasped the father's ears tightly, and the father grinned with the encouragement of the mother.

The distance of seven or eight miles is not very far, even on foot, and at this time there are more fields, and those sloping paths save the distance. Looking at the sun, I set off at about ten o'clock, and I walked to my grandfather's house at one o'clock.

As soon as he arrived at his grandfather's house, Yang Dongxu cheered and ran to the west of the village, where is the residence of the little master, this is the purpose of Yang Dongxu's coming to his grandfather's house.
