Chapter 10 Trying to Trade

"We seem to be able to do business too, some time ago the fourth aunt came back with eggs from the town in exchange for some sugar, the kind that didn't ask for tickets. Yang Dongxu can grasp the major events and the development direction of the times, but he doesn't know any of the real details, so he can only talk about it in combination with the information he knows now.

"Oh....... So what do you think?" Zhou Yiren continued to ask.

"I want my grandfather to get some fish to go to town and see if I can sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, or exchange it for something else. For example, isn't there a textile factory in the town, and we can exchange fish for some cloth with them. People in the city also need tickets to eat fish, we don't want tickets, they should exchange them. ”

These words are no longer Yang Dongxu's nonsense, but the thoughts that came after learning that people in the village kept taking things and began to exchange them in the town. But for a while, he didn't know how to tell his grandfather, and his grandfather's slap was also very painful.

"It is the biggest mistake of our time that there is a way to make it more convenient for farmers, but we have returned to the sad situation of bartering. Zhou Yiren's eyes became a little sad and angry for a moment, and he clenched his fists and looked very excited.

After half a ring, he slowly sat down on the small bed as if he had been drained of all his strength, and waved his hand to Yang Dongxu, today's schoolwork ended early.

Not long after Yang Dongxu left the farm tool house, Zhou Yiren's eyes revealed a determined look, got up and rummaged through a pile of newspapers, and finally walked towards his grandfather's house with a few newspapers.

It was not a national newspaper such as the People's Daily, but a newspaper in Anhui Province, and the largest part of it was the report that the first secretary of Anhui Province recently admitted to taking care of the work and vigorously promoted it.

After a while, Zhou Yiren returned to his residence, and the eldest grandfather hurriedly went to the district, yes, he didn't go to the town, nor did he go to the township, but went directly to the district.

When it was getting late, several bicycles appeared on the dirt road in Yangjia Village.

When the district commissioner arrived, compared to the previous life, the party secretary of a small village was eager to get an Audi as a car, and now the number one in the district, equivalent to the mayor of later generations, and even the existence of the secretary of the municipal party committee, is only riding a bicycle to the countryside.

Yang Dongxu, who was having dinner at home, was called over, which made Yang Dongxu's parents worried for a while, but fortunately, they were relieved that their grandfather was stable.

"This is the novice student of the teacher?" Chen Weimin was a little surprised to see that the person his teacher asked him to shout turned out to be a five or six-year-old child. Although he had heard that his teacher had accepted a student, he didn't expect that when he was talking to the teacher about a big matter, the teacher would ask this little kid to come and listen.

Although Chen Weimin was a student of Zhou Yiren, he was not a standard intellectual. Although his knowledge did add some convenience to his upward path. But in this era when Zhou Yiren was knocked down and thrown away in the countryside, he was obviously not a simple figure to be able to sit in the position of the number one in the district.

When Chen Weimin was looking at Yang Dongxu, Yang Dongxu was also looking at him. is different from his teacher Zhou Yiren's scholarly and elegant feeling, Chen Weimin, who is only about 165 in height, looks much stronger, especially those small eyes, which are particularly sharp when serious.

"Don't underestimate him, skin. Zhou Yiren said.

Although the words have a critical meaning, anyone can hear the smugness in the tone. That's right, it's proud, don't look at Zhou Yiren, in addition to teaching Yang Dongxu every day, he is teaching Yang Dongxu a lesson, and even using bamboo board corporal punishment.

But he is extremely satisfied with Yang Dongxu, a student, especially after Yang Dongxu reads the newspaper, he can always hear some simple words from time to time, but they can be combined with the general direction of the times. Zhou Yiren is extremely fond of his student in his heart.

"Oh!" Hearing his teacher's words, Chen Weimin couldn't help but look at Yang Dongxu seriously. He knows his teacher's temper, but he is not a person who praises people easily, let alone proudly.

It's a pity that she doesn't have any perspective eyes, and she doesn't get along with Yang Dongxu day and night, so she can't see the circles of light like Buddha on the top of the head of this little kid in patched clothes.

"You'll know after a long time, let's start talking. Zhou Yiren pointed to his side, and Yang Dongxu ran over and sat next to him. Chen Weimin's secretary walked out and stood a little away from the door, and Yang Dongxu's grandfather sat on a small stool like Chen Weimin.

The things they talked about were simple, but they surprised Yang Dongxu. Zhou Yiren actually proposed to open the rural market and not let the district encourage it, but the district needs to default to not suppress it.

The things traded are also very simple, that is, some eggs, wild animals and fish in the countryside, and the food cannot be moved for the time being. But in the process of trading, no bills were used, only money, which made Chen Weimin frown.

The prototype of such an early abolition of food stamps was proposed by Zhou Yiren, which made Yang Dongxu particularly surprised. Suddenly, there was a feeling that the mountains were looking up, and there seemed to be something in his teacher's already somewhat rickety body that was waking up little by little, slowly forming a burning flame, even if this flame might burn it to ashes, he would never regret it.

In later generations, Yang Dongxu heard too many examples, too many spirits. But it was only memorizing the texts according to the requirements of the school teachers, or practicing them superficially, and I never realized what kind of existence the role model and that spirit were.

But at this moment, in his teacher, he seemed to feel what kind of fearlessness the Chinese nation carried in the unyielding backbone of the Chinese nation that has gone through all kinds of hardships and finally stood on the top of the world.

talked about it until the middle of the night, Chen Weimin did not stay overnight, took the only household appliance in Yangjia Village, and rushed back to the district with the secretary with the flashlight of the grandfather's house overnight.

After that night's deep talk, Yangjiacun returned to calm, and after Yang Dongxu went home, his anxious parents didn't ask anything, obviously getting the advice of his grandfather.

With my sister, I continued to study at noon and lived for half a month, during which Chen Weimin only came once. Never came again. One day half a month later, after a trip to the district, the grandfather who came back suddenly was anxious about the male laborers in the village to hold a meeting. Except for a few grandfathers who were a little senile dementia, the pillars of each family were called.

"Will this cause an accident?" Yang Dongxu's grandfather, Yang Lanzhen, asked with some concern after the grandfather spoke.

Yang Dongxu's family and his grandfather's family are a little bit uneasy, to be precise, Yang Mama and Yang Dongxu's grandmother do not deal with each other, and there has been no peace between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times, so they usually don't talk at all except for walking around during the New Year's holidays.

There are many examples of Yang Dongxu's memory since he was a child, his father was called to his grandfather's house in the old house, and when he came back, he would quarrel with his mother, and even fight, so he was not close to his grandfather's family since he was a child.

But no matter what the usual relationship is, and what kind of contradictions there are, I heard that the grandfather asked Yang Dongxu's father to participate in this matter. Yang Dongxu's grandfather is still very worried about his son.

In fact, the main discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in rural areas is because of material things, for example, when the family is separated, the grandparents are very picky, and they don't even give a table, chair and bench. For another example, Yang Dongxu's parents want Yang Dongxu's grandmother to help take care of the children, so that they can work.

But Yang Dongxu's grandmother didn't want to take it, she wanted to do some needlework, or work in the field to earn more income, in short, because of some trivial things that seemed trivial to later generations, but at this time, it was related to major matters that did not give in to each other's vital interests.

"The problem of being able to fart, this matter is ......" Grandpa said angrily, but he almost missed his mouth, so he knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand: "The matter is so decided, tomorrow I will go to the river to fish, now I get two hundred catties, one egg per family, I will be sent here before tomorrow night, and I will set off the day after tomorrow, I will also go together, and I will give me a door on my mouth after I go back, and whoever chews the root of his tongue is not allowed to be buried in the cemetery after he dies." ”

The eldest grandfather took out the majesty of the number one in the village, and no longer listened to the opinions of others and made a decision.

"Why don't you tell Daddy (the name for uncle in the countryside) that you don't go, let him change people? No, go and talk to Daddy now. "When she lay down to sleep at night, Mother Yang always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"At the conference, the big dad has paid attention, can we still raise our heads in the village after returning at this time?" Dad Yang had some intentions, but still shook his head and refused.

"It's better to not be able to hold your head up in the village in the future than if something happens to you, what if something happens to our family?" Mama Yang began to wipe her tears.

"Probably not, right?" Dad Yang couldn't help but be a little timid at this time, but thinking about what Daddy said to him alone, he whispered into Mother Yang's ear and said, "Daddy said, this matter was agreed by the commissioner, and he has already said hello, and it has been arranged over there." ”

"It's really fake, Big Daddy won't fool you, right?" Mama Yang was still a little worried.

"Big daddy is not that kind of person, or else, after fishing tomorrow afternoon, I will go to your mother's house to ask our father's opinion, if he doesn't agree, I will pretend to be sick and not go to the town the day after tomorrow." Dad Yang thought of a safer approach.

"Okay, you can ask tomorrow. ”

Nothing was said all night, and early the next morning, the grandfather began to organize people to fish in the Robinia River, and it didn't take much to do anything, the fish in the river were almost fine, and they were all very big, and it didn't take long for the fish to get enough.

I got a few water tanks and poured some water into the fish so that the fish would not die. The grandfather invited Mr. Zhou over and began to remember the name, who took the eggs and pressed the handprint, at first many people cowered, the grandfather lost his temper, and the family took it out after the threat of not giving birth to a child in the future.

Although the material is extremely scarce in this era, a family can still get an egg, after all, every family in the countryside has chickens.

Dad Yang went to his father-in-law's house and got any news Yang Dongxu didn't know, but he brought Yang Dongxu's little grandfather back, and set off with the team to the town early the next morning.

Today, Yangjia Village is exceptionally quiet, and the hard-working villagers do not go to work in the fields, but sit under the shade of the threshing floor. By the time the team to the town had not returned at noon, several women from the outlying families began to wipe their tears, including Mama Yang.
