Chapter 81: Memories of the Post-80s
That night, the three brothers drank until midnight, and then stayed directly at Chen Huanghuang's house.
The next day, after having breakfast at Chen Huanghuang's house, Liu Xia Hui and Liu Guihua left on motorcycles.
On the way home, Liu Xia Hui said to Liu Guihua: "Brother, you study hard in school now, and when you graduate, brother must have a business here for you to do, don't worry about not making money!"
Liu Guihua smiled and said, "That's okay, Brother Hui, when I don't want to study, I will drop out of school and go back to mess with you!"
Yanagishita Hui smiled: "In this era, it's good to be able to read more, anyway, you study hard in the three years of high school to see if you can get into a good university, if you can be admitted, then continue to study, if you can't pass the exam, you will go back to your brother, you definitely don't have to worry about no way out in the future!"
Liu Guihua nodded and said, "Well, Brother Hui, if you say so, brother, I have the bottom in my heart!"
Yanagishita Hui said: "The business in my county will start to open on the eighth day of the first month, and then you will go up with Brilliant to play for a few days, and I will buy you a mobile phone by the way, otherwise it will be inconvenient to contact!"
"Okay!" Liu Guihua nodded again.
After all, the two are brothers who grew up together, so naturally they don't need to say those polite words.
......
This year's twenty-ninth lunar month is Chinese New Year's Eve.
In Qinghe Village, Chinese New Year's Eve is a very important day.
On this day, it is necessary to worship the land prince, the Huaguang Emperor and the ancestors of the Liu family.
On this day, the reunion dinner is similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in other places, but the reunion dinner in Qinghe Village is eaten very early, basically after worshipping the land prince, the Huaguang Emperor and the ancestors of the Liu family, they go home to prepare the reunion dinner.
Then, it is common to eat at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and some even eat the reunion dinner before two o'clock in the morning.
After the reunion dinner, it was time for the children to look forward to the most - receiving red envelopes!
Receiving red envelopes for the Spring Festival is the biggest income of Chinese people when they are young.
Of course, although this income is huge, there is a question mark about the control of this money!
It is estimated that the readers have a similar experience, after happily receiving the Spring Festival red envelopes sent by the elders and relatives, their parents are about to make a shining debut, and they will come out and tell you in a good voice that they want to help you keep the money.
And this character, nine times out of ten, is a mother.
Even if you don't agree, Mom has a way to deal with you until you agree to hand over the money.
After all, they are still children, where is the mother's opponent?
Therefore, although the children are happy to receive red envelopes, they do not have much money that they can really use for themselves.
As you get older, you have to go at least to junior high school before you can really control your Spring Festival red envelopes.
However, even if you are in junior high school, it depends on how many red envelopes you receive, if the amount is not high, your parents will default to let you use it yourself, but if the amount is high, hehe......
When Megumi Yanagishita was young, in addition to receiving red envelopes, the most anticipated thing was to set off firecrackers.
After all, it's a boy, and they basically like to play with "dangerous" things like firecrackers.
At that time, Megumi Yanashita and his cousins would disassemble all those small firecrackers and put them in their pockets or put them in a bag.
Light another pillar of incense, hold a small dismantled firecracker in your left hand, and hold a lit incense stick in your right hand, and then wander around to fry things and play.
At that time, Megumi Yanashita was also a bear child, and she really blew up whatever she saw, and she picked those exciting ones to blow up.
For example - cow dung!
In the countryside, cow dung is the most common thing, so stick a small firecracker into the cow dung, then light the fuse with incense, and then quickly run away.
"Boom!"
Then the scene of cow dung can refresh the three views of those children in the city!
In addition to frying cow dung to play, in order to pursue excitement, Yanagishita Megumi and others also stepped on small firecrackers with their shoes, and directly lit the fuse with incense, and the feeling of firecrackers blowing up the soles of their shoes was also quite sour......
In short, compared to children in the city and children growing up in the countryside, there are really not too many ways to entertain.
Especially the rural children born in the 80s, they are really good at playing.
Throwing sandbags, walking pig's ears, hitting stones, going to camp, skipping rope, tug-of-war, catching bed bugs, catching cicadas, beating sour rattan cannons, burning hornet's nests, digging birds' eggs, catching fish, picking wild fruits...... Wait a minute.
Even at night, dozens of children gather together to play war.
Each child takes out their home flashlight, then divides the two sides and uses the terrain to hide.
Whoever the flashlight shines on, and then name it, this enemy is considered a sacrifice.
In this way, whichever side is sacrificed in the end is considered to be lost.
This game is basically whoever has a brighter flashlight, who is awesome.
At that time, in order to play this game, Megumi Yanagishita spent a lot of money to buy extended flashlights, batteries, and electric bladders.
Especially the electric cartridge, this thing has a slightly larger power supply, and it will be burned, and playing a game for a night can burn several electric cartridges.
It's a pity that when the post-80s grow up, the rural children of the post-90s and post-00s are no longer so good at playing. Needless to say, after 10, they basically played with mobile phones, and the wide variety of entertainment methods gradually became history!
......
During this year's Spring Festival, Yanagishita's family has undoubtedly become the focus of the village.
The story of Megumi Yanagishita starting a business with 2,000 tuition and miscellaneous fees also spread throughout Qinghe Village and began to spread to other villages.
Although after investing in raising chickens and ducks, some people rumored that Liu Xia Hui made a lot of money doing business in the county, but no one can say how much he earned.
But now, even the car with a price of 180,000 yuan has been driven back, which proves that Yanagishita Megumi has earned at least hundreds of thousands this year.
Hundreds of thousands, what is this concept?
On top of that, Megumi Yanagishita was just a junior high school student a few months ago.
In just a few months, with 2,000 yuan in tuition and fees, he made money that others could not earn in a lifetime.
This experience is so legendary that it has to compete with the beginnings of those big names on TV.
The first thing everyone said when they met was not to ask "Happy New Year", nor to ask "Have you eaten", but "Have you heard......?"
In addition to attracting the attention of the whole village, the treatment of Yanagishita's family among relatives this year is also different from previous years.
When the eldest aunt, second aunt, and sister-in-law came to visit relatives, they must have gone to their grandparents' house.
However, since the grandparents were taken to the city by the third uncle to enjoy the blessings, the three aunts came to visit relatives again, and basically went to their uncle's house.
Although Yanagishita's house is connected to her uncle's house, the three aunts never enter their house directly, but go to their uncle's house first to put down all the gifts they brought, and then pick some of them to take to Yanagishita's family.
Like the peanuts, soybeans, sauerkraut, dried radish, cucumber skins and other local specialties that I usually bring over, I basically don't have the share of Yanagishita Hui's family, and all of them are taken to my uncle's house.
I basically eat at my uncle's house, and I don't come to Yanagishita Hui's house to eat.
There may be reasons why my uncle is the eldest son, or there may be other reasons, anyway, it has been like this since Yanagishita Megumi can remember.
But this year, that's changed!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the three aunts dragged their families over to visit their relatives, they all advanced to the Yanagishita Hui family, and also brought a lot of local products, much more than in previous years to the uncle's house......
This scene made Megumi Yanagishita feel emotional.
In today's society, it's really realistic enough!
