The day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, the market was unusually lively, and the people who had stocked up a lot of New Year's goods at home always felt that there were still shortcomings, so they always wanted to come to the market to bring something back to be comfortable.

Yang Dongxu, who was settling accounts, suddenly heard someone upstairs shouting to him: "Brother, phone." ”

Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, handed over the account book in his hand, and his eldest sister ran upstairs, thinking, "Will you call yourself when you sleep at this time?"

"Hey!" Yang Dongxu took the phone and said.

"Asahi ...... Asahiko, hit ...... Fights began. Wu Aibing's eager voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who is fighting with whom?" Yang Dongxu looked dazed, and then thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened: "You mean that the United States and Iraq are fighting?"

"Yes, yes......" Wu Aibing said hurriedly.

"Uncle Du, they'll be fine, right?" Yang Dongxu's heart lifted.

As the United States continues to gather the strength of its allies, Iraq's continuous occupation of Kuwait seems to be shrouded in the haze of war in the entire Middle East, so mercenaries from all parts of the world are gathering towards the Middle East, because they can only make money by fighting a war, so no one will notice Du Suo and others in the Middle East, so they have been operating in the Middle East.

"No, it's okay, I just came back from the Soviet Union and talked to them on the phone, they are far away from the place where the war broke out, and they will not be drawn into the war. ”

In fact, the war did not just break out today, but started yesterday. The first thing Wu Aibing thought of when he received the news was not to report to Yang Dongxu, but to run to the Soviet Union as if he had been hit by an arrow in the butt.

Although there are people in the Middle East in China, the telephone line is obviously not available to Wu Aibing, and the embassy is also crowded at this time, so he simply took a plane to the Soviet Union to contact Du Suo, and just confirmed the news that Du Suo was safe and fine, so he called Yang Dongxu.

"It's okay, let them pay attention to their own safety, don't go to the battlefield if it's okay, if the Americans drive Iraq out of Kuwait, the Kuwaiti royal family should urgently need mercenaries to maintain their regime, and they can have proper contact. Hearing that Du Suo was fine, Yang Dongxu also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, at this time, he wanted to fly directly to the Middle East, because oil has always been something he has never forgotten. If you can get in touch with the royal family in the Middle East and get a few oil fields at this time, it will be a great benefit to him and the country.

It's a pity that none of the people he knows have anything to do with the Middle East, and the people who don't have the referral want to meet the Middle Eastern royal family, or the Kuwaiti royal family whose country is occupied, and with Du Suo's hundreds of mercenaries as a support, others won't even pinch his eyelids.

So what can be done now is to lay out in advance, even if you can't enter the market for the first time, you have to cultivate the relationship between the two parties, even if you mix a familiar face, and when the situation allows in the future, you also have a line that you can use, right?

Hung up Wu Aibing's phone, Yang Dongxu picked up the phone and wanted to dial his godfather Zhou Yiren, but as soon as he dialed a few numbers, he stopped his movements.

Wu Aibing knew the news of the Middle East earlier than him, and Zhou Yiren would definitely know it earlier. It is estimated that he knew it as soon as the war broke out over there.

After knowing it, he didn't contact him, which shows that Zhou Yiren felt that even if he told him, it was useless, so he didn't contact him. Thinking of this, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling that he was really treating himself as a dish too much.

All the countries that are concerned about this side of the matter are very nervous and concerned about the battle situation, but they are more or less relieved, after all, the sword hanging has been swung out and waiting to see the result, it is much better than it is always hanging and does not know when it will fall.

Yang Dongxu's views on the outbreak of war in the Middle East have made it clear to Zhou Yiren before, now that the war has broken out, let alone him, even the country can't intervene, and there is no difference between telling him and not telling him.

"Now my shoulders are too small to carry a big deal. Hanging up the phone, Yang Dongxu shook his head.

Make sure that Du Suo's side is okay, and the war in the Middle East has nothing to do with Yang Dongxu, and it has nothing to do with things that he can't interfere with at all, it is better to care about the pig farm after the year, or how to get the greenhouse vegetables in the second half of next year.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her son coming down, Yang's mother couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just a classmate calling to pay respects to the early years. Yang Dongxu said.

"It's early. "It's only the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, and it's really not an ordinary morning. However, Mother Yang also muttered that her attention was not here, and now there are so many people buying things in front of the door, and she doesn't care who calls her son at all, just a casual question.

......

There are generally more New Year's flavors in the countryside than in the cities, not to mention the New Year's flavors in this era. I haven't heard the crackling firecrackers since I came back from the grave.

A group of little kids in the village scurried around the door of each house to pick up the firecrackers that had not exploded, peeled off the gunpowder and poured it into a long flower to play with.

And Yang Dongxu's age is already an age where he can get married, so he naturally won't pick up guns. Instead, after dinner early, those who have money kick a few cents in their pockets, and those who don't have money get a few cents and a dime to gather in the granary to prepare to play cards.

Yang Dongxu's TV was moved from the upper floor, and many village women had gathered in the courtyard by this time. Although life in Yangjia Village has improved a lot in recent years, only a few families can afford to buy TV sets in the market.

Men run to the granary to play cards, and women naturally prefer to gather together and watch television. Especially the Spring Festival Gala in the Chinese New Year's Eve is particularly attractive to them, so in addition to women, some men who don't like to play cards, or some old people also wait in the courtyard early after eating.

After eating, Yang Dongxu began to borrow big benches from each household, and when people watched TV, you can't let everyone stand in the yard, right? Huhulala, dozens of people stuffed the yard full of their own benches, which was definitely not enough, so they had to borrow it. In this way, coupled with some people who came to watch TV and consciously brought a bench, everyone barely had a place to sit.

Nuts or anything didn't come out, this thing is too expensive, take it out, Yang Ma is distressed, a big bag of melon seeds is placed at the door, whoever eats it is enough to grab it casually, it is enough to leave a good reputation, there is no need to be too much.

Yang Dongxu also sat on a stool with melon seeds in his mouth and prepared to watch TV, although the cold wind outside was a little biting, but dozens of people crowded into the small courtyard was actually quite warm. As long as he doesn't smoke second-hand smoke from a group of old men, he feels that it is actually quite good to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"Asahiko came out to play. Not long after sitting down here, Xiao Wu's shout sounded at the door.

In fact, at this time, the attraction of television to people is greater than that of gambling cards, and it is common for people to carry a small bench to run a few miles, or even more than ten miles, as soon as they hear that there are movies there.

"Come in and find a place to sit, and the Spring Festival Gala will be held in a while. Yang Dongxu turned to the door and answered.

In this way, the little five people were a little hesitant, and they had saved up money for several months and waited for a good time today. But the Spring Festival Gala is also very attractive to them, so they are a little entangled for a while.

"You go play with them, you don't usually like to watch TV anyway. Yang's mother, who had just cleaned up the kitchen, said.

Yang Dongxu looked at his mother with a blank face, this is not his mother's character. Xiao Wu and a few people are now shouting that they must be going to the granary to gamble, according to their mother's temperament, shouldn't it be a normal script to let Xiao Wu and a few people come in to watch TV?

"Your dad was called away by your uncle just now, you go over and look at it. ”

Get!

Yang Dongxu instantly found the reason why his mother was different from usual at the moment, this was to let him look at his father and uncle in the past. Since his mother said so, Yang Dongxu had no choice but to get up and come out of the crowd and go upstairs.

"Why are you going?"

"Take some money. Yang Dongxu responded, there are still ten yuan in the down jacket upstairs, this is the New Year's money that my mother gave just now, since I have passed in the past, I naturally want to see if I can play two.

Coming down and watching TV in the crowd, it is more comfortable to be wrapped in a coat and wear a Lei Feng hat, so he changed his down jacket just now. As for the change of about 100 yuan when he first came back, it had already been taken away by his mother in the name of keeping it for him.

"What kind of money to take, your dad must have brought a lot of money from his waist and asked him for it. Mother Yang glanced at her son, although her face was normal, she was definitely angry in her heart.

Gambling is a thing that will be unhappy no matter whether she wins or loses, not to mention that she must have gambled a lot in the past today, and it would be strange if she was happy. However, throughout the year, Dad Yang is very conscious, basically can't play cards, and when he catches up with the game, he will play a few hands, and someone will give up the position to others to play.

When the farm is not working, I don't get together with other people, either to play cards, or to walk horses. Instead, he drove four wheels to pull things around to make money, so for Dad Yang to play cards today, Mama Yang was a little sulky in her heart.

But it won't be like before, as long as Dad Yang plays cards, the two will quarrel. Now at most, he came back to nag a few words, and Dad Yang seemed to have figured out Mama Yang's temper, so when the younger brother joined the army and called him today, he didn't say anything and went over with some money.

"Okay. Hearing his mother's words, Yang Dongxu was a little speechless.

It's good if you don't just don't let your dad play, and now you have to be a spy yourself. But it is such happy or unhappy trifles that make up most of the life of ordinary people.

Walking to the door, Yang Dongxu put several handfuls of melon seeds in his pocket, and the biggest possibility of being a spy for his mother was to watch from the side, because the uncle must be a helper next to the table, and if the uncle was on the table, the father would help by the side, and he couldn't even get the position of the helper, so he could only stand next to him and eat melon seeds.

"Grab all the points, and play when you look at the cards for a while. After catching himself, Yang Dongxu motioned to the five people to catch some.

A bag of melon seeds is fifty catties, and although there are dozens of people in the yard, there is still half a bag of melon seeds left at this time. Compared with the scene in later news reports, as soon as I heard that it was free, whether it was useful or useless for myself, Huhula would fight for it.

The people who come to watch TV are all neighbors, and they have a lot of self-consciousness, and basically everyone is a little bit more interesting, and they are not stuffed in big pockets and small pockets, and they go home and take them out and run to pretend to be something again.

So when you enter the door, the adults grab a little, if you take the child, you will stuff it into the child's pocket, and then go in to find a place to watch TV, and at the same time pull a child who wants to catch it with a warning with his eyes, with a look on his face If you dare to embarrass Lao Tzu here, go back and hang up and fight.
