The name "Jian Guangya" was given to Jian Guangya by An Huizhen, the godmother whom Jian Guangya recognized after coming to Longju.

At first, Jian Guangya's name was Jian Guangya. Jian Guangyan started out as an apprentice carpenter in the countryside of Guazhou, Hunan. Jian Guangyan learned carpenter as a son inheriting his father's business.

When his father Jian Youcai died of liver cancer, Jian Guangyan was thirteen years old and went to middle school. Under the sponsorship of her grandfather, who was also a carpenter, Jian Guangling was able to graduate from secondary school. In the 82nd year of the high school entrance examination, Jian Guangyan was admitted to the Guazhou Medical College with the second place in the county. In those days, the secondary school was the first choice for the children of poor peasant families. At that time, the secondary school had a high gold content, and the graduation package was distributed, organized, and eating commercial grain was tantamount to a carp jumping over the dragon gate.

It's a pity that fate didn't favor Jian Guangyan that time.

Just three months before Jian Guangyan was admitted to the secondary school, his grandfather Jian Wanchun was accidentally injured by an iron plow when he was plowing the field. The wounds were shocking, the bones and muscles were all broken, and the blood stained the large paddy fields under his feet. The main culprit for the tragedy was the oxen ploughing the fields, a half-grown calf borrowed from a relative, less than two years old. The beast was frivolous and reckless, and the grandfather was old and weak, and the human and animal did not cooperate properly, and the tragedy happened.

Jian Guangyan's greater misfortune is that there is also a twin brother Jian Guangzai below. Jian Guangzai was also admitted to high school with excellent grades this year. Both brothers are manufacturable materials, but the conditions at home are difficult to support the two brothers to further their studies at the same time. The fourth uncle, He Jimo, who worked in the field, initially offered to pay for one of the children's school fees, but this proposal was resisted by the other two uncles. The other two uncles' families were also in difficulty, and they believed that the fourth uncle should give priority to his brothers rather than his sisters. The fourth uncle really couldn't take care of all the poor relatives, and in order to avoid unnecessary tongue-in-cheek, his noble proposal had to be abandoned in the end.

Losing the fourth uncle, the last financier, Jian Guangyan and Jian Guangzai brothers must have one to make a sacrifice. The elders of the clan unanimously agreed that the second Jian Guangzai should be allowed to go home to farm, but the reason is also practical, the eldest Jian Guangyan will have an iron job bowl after three years of secondary school, and the second Jian Guangzai will have to wait for several years even if he can be admitted to university. Mother He Runwu overrode public opinion at the last moment and chose to let the second child continue his studies, and the eldest went home to farm.

The basis for his mother's dissenting opinion is that He Jihui, a brother of his mother's family who knows yin and yang and knows gossip, showed Jian Guangyan a photo in his early years, saying that Jian Guangyan is a lifeless person. He Jihui even said privately that if Jian Guangling could live past thirty, he would rather have a short life of twenty years. He Jihui's ancestors have been raised in the middle, and he himself is also coarse and well-read, and he is highly respected in the village, and many of his words are often regarded as a guideline. Therefore, it is reasonable for He Runwu to use this as a reference to decide the fate of his two sons.

However, the hateful thing is that within three months of making this decision, his mother He Runwu left behind two sons, one daughter and three minor children, and remarried with her youngest son Jian Guangliang.

Jian Guangyan became the head of the family in such a hurry.

The cruel reality is that this summer, on the first day of being a carpenter's apprentice, Master Jian Youshan sentenced Jian Guangyan's career to death. In the eyes of Master Jian Youshan, Jian Guangyan does not have the conditions to become a qualified carpenter at all. Short stature, shy personality, and perverted hygiene, all of which show that Jian Guangling is not a material for eating a hundred family meals. However, this is not all, the most important thing is that Jian Guangyan experienced a cold and fever that lasted for many days when he was a child. The high fever did not take Jian Guangling's life, but it damaged Jian Guangyan's brain. After the high fever, Jian Guangyan could no longer control his expressions freely, his facial expression was stiff, his eyes could only stare ahead like a falcon, and his body lost his sense of balance from then on. Jian Guangling's sense of balance is so bad that it is unbelievable, he can never run in a straight line, he can never be independent, even if he stands on a low wall half a meter above the ground, he can't open his legs, and he will fall off when he takes a step.

But in the countryside of Hunan before the 90s, making furniture was never the main business of carpenters. The real use of carpenters is in the field of construction, installing doors and windows, erecting beams, nailing rafters, and so on, all of which are high-altitude work. A carpenter with an unpleasant face and unable to work at height is like a person who is bleeding and becomes a surgeon, and is undoubtedly in the wrong business. If it weren't for his own nephew, Master Jian Youshan would never accept Jian Guangyan as an apprentice. Even if he accepts it, Jian Youshan also knows that this waste wood will be like his uncle Jian Youjia in the future, and he will never be able to leave the school for the rest of his life, and he will always be a small worker who works behind other people's butts.

Jian Guangyan can only learn carpenter.

The Jian family is a family of carpenters, and it is the fourth generation to Jian Guangya. Great-grandfather Jian Fucheng fled from Shandong to Gualing with his son and daughter 80 years ago, and the reason why he was accepted by the locals was because he possessed two skills, one was strong martial arts, which could cure bruises, and the other was that he knew carpenter's skills. When his great-grandfather Jian Fucheng was alive, he made clear arrangements for two skills: Jian Wanfu, the eldest son brought from Shandong, and his descendants inherited Xingyiquan, and the descendants born with the local woman Jian Zhang's family inherited the carpenter's skills.

Jian Guangyan is a descendant of the Jian Zhang clan.

It's not that Jian Guangyan can't learn something else, it's okay. It's just that to learn other crafts, you need to learn from someone with a foreign surname, and you have to pay the cost. As the saying goes, three years of learning art is hard, and the folk have rules since ancient times, and after three years of learning art, the master does not take a penny to teach art for free, and the apprentice does not take a penny to give the master three years of cattle and horses. Jian Guangyan can't wait for three years, there are four brothers and sisters, in addition to his younger brother Jian Guangliang, who remarried with his mother, there is also a younger brother Jian Guangzai who is in high school and a younger sister Jian Cuiping who is about to go to middle school. Learning carpenter, the daily wage during the apprenticeship is two yuan (eight yuan after leaving the school). This piece belongs to Jian Guangyan, because Master Jian Youshan is a relative uncle, and he has the obligation to take care of this nephew who has no father and no mother. All along, Jian Youshan didn't have any expectations for this nephew, just begging him not to hurt himself when he was working.

In fact, Jian Guangyan himself was not willing to learn carpenter.

The craft that Jian Guangyan really wanted to learn at that time was veterinarian, specifically steering chickens and pigs. This craft is not only fast, you can be taught in a year, but also brisk, without effort. The best thing is that the cost of employment is low, a cutter, a pair of scissors, a pair of tweezers, an embroidery needle, plus a can of medical alcohol (or realgar), you can walk the rivers and lakes. Jian Guangyan is indeed interested in this craft, in the past, whoever steers and pigs would come over to watch it for a while, almost addicted.

But no, Jian Guangyan can't learn this craft. There is a local saying in Guazhou since ancient times that people who are engaged in this kind of "cutting off children and grandchildren" craft will lose their longevity, and those with clean family backgrounds and sound limbs will not consider taking this as a career.

In stark contrast to Jian Guangyan's situation, Master Jian Youshan accepted another apprentice at the same time, why bother. Two months younger than Jian Guangyan, why bother is recognized as a gifted offspring in the village, who is interested in everything and can do it to the extreme. The same is true for learning. In the same year, why bother to be admitted to Changsha Normal College with the first place in the county. is different from Jian Guangyan, why take the initiative to give up this opportunity for the carp to jump the dragon gate. His parents are over sixty years old, several older brothers have married and lived in another family, and there is an older sister who has had meningitis and is too stupid to marry. Why didn't you want to burden your family, so you dropped out of school and became an apprentice. The difference is that learning carpenters is to chase ducks to the shelves for Jian Guangling, so why bother because of interest.

If nothing else, the future Jian Guangyan will be an unpopular carpenter, like his uncle Jian Youjia, who is reluctant to learn art for three years, and is unemployed when he leaves school, and finally has to give up his profession and change to a side business. And why should he become a good carpenter, like his uncle Jian Youshan, who lives by his craft.

However, Jian Guangyan did not feel sad about this, because he found that this is an era of equality, and everyone cannot be prosperous together, but they can achieve common poverty. In this context, whether it is success or failure, there is not much difference. It is true that Uncle Jian Youshan supported the family with his skills, and his uncle Jian Youshan did not let the family starve to death, and there is no qualitative difference in the lives of the two families. Jian Guangyan's wish is very simple, as long as he can have an average income of 20 yuan a month, grow some food and raise some poultry at home, he can cope with his life.

In the countryside of Guazhou in the 80s, even if it was a master like Jian Youshan, who had been in the arts for decades, his skills were not enough to make a living. Every family is poor, and building a house with furniture is usually only needed by the family for weddings, and most of them are concentrated in autumn and winter, and at least half of the year this craft is useless. In addition, carpentry is a popular profession in the countryside, and there are three, five, seven or eight in each village, and there are many monks and few porridges.

In addition to the apprenticeship, Jian Guangyan is the first productive force in the family.

With the death of his father and the remarriage of his mother with his younger brother, the family lost three people and became one acre of six points of paddy field, seven points of dry land and two acres of eight points of forest land. Camellia oleifera trees are planted in the woodland, and the harvest is divided into good years and poor years, but regardless of the harvest or not, it will never be enough for the family to eat for a year. If you finish eating, you won't add oil to the dish for the rest of the day. The dish without oil is commonly known as "red pot dish", not to discuss how the "red pot dish" tastes nutritious, just cooking it is a test of people's craft, especially in Hunan, where frying is the main cooking method, it is necessary to ensure that the dish is fried, and to ensure that the dish is not burned in the pot, and to ensure that the dish can be eaten after it comes out of the pot. There is a saying that "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", and this sentence is said in Hunan: lazy women can't fry red pot dishes. In the early years of the Hunan countryside, to test whether a girl who has not been out of the cabinet can become a mother-in-law who can live a life in the future, let her fry a plate of "red pot dishes" at a glance. In this regard, Jian Guangling is a little expert, according to the younger siblings who ate his fried "red pot dishes" later recalled, the "red pot dishes" fried by Jian Guangling tasted excellent and even worth remembering. In addition to growing some fruits and vegetables in the dry land, the main crop is sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are a staple food that is not harvested for the next few months of the family's New Year. Rice is grown in paddy fields and is grown twice a year. After harvesting two crops of rice, the diligent Jian Guangling will also plant one season of wheat. Even if there are three harvests a year, there is not enough to eat, because there is a lack of medicine and fertilizer, and the yield is often not high. After a few months of green and yellow, sweet potatoes came in handy. Many years later, Jian Guangling, who has already soared, can't help but want to open the other party's stomach as long as he hears someone say that eating sweet potatoes has various effects, because the person who said this is definitely broken-hearted. The fact is that it's okay to eat two meals of sweet potato rice once in a while, and sweet potatoes that have been stored all winter are high in sugar and sweet and delicious. But eating for a few days in a row will make you doubt your life, because it is a highly acidic crop, you can't eat more, eating too much hurts the stomach and refluxing acidic water, and you can't eat less, eat less without starvation, the body is weak, and you can't work. In short, even if you throw your life in the ground, the growth in the field in a year is only enough for the family to eat and drink, and it doesn't matter if you are full, let alone the quality. This has been the case for generations.

In order to subsidize the family, Jian Guangyan would follow his uncle Jian Youjia to toss all kinds of games in the spring, digging Huaishan in the summer, catching yellow eels in the autumn, and selling charcoal in the winter. Needless to say, hard work can exhaust people out of. But as long as he can make money, Jian Guangyan is willing to do it. It can't be said that you are willing to do it, you have to do it, and if you don't do it, you will die.

Jian Guangling's favorite side hustle is selling popsicles and catching rabbits.

Around the 80s, the wholesale price of sugar water popsicles was between two cents and two cents and five cents, and the retail price was five cents, even after removing the vagaries of the weather and the loss caused by satisfying one's appetites, the profit was still 100 percent. Jian Guangyan's career as a popsicle seller began when she was in middle school. Jian Guangyan earned part of the tuition and fees for three years of secondary school by selling popsicles. Despite the fact that the profits were as high as 100 percent, Jian Guangyan did not become free to do whatever he wanted, as Marx said, and did not trample on all human laws. After graduating from high school, Jian Guangyan gave up the lucrative business to other younger children in the village.

And catching rabbits is Jian Guangling's most obsessed side hustle after entering society. This side hustle is both entertaining and profitable, and it can be said to be a perfect side hustle. Catching rabbits is strictly a mental job, and ordinary people can't do it. As the saying goes, "three holes of cunning rabbits", anyone who has caught a rabbit knows that this is true. Wild rabbits do have a few hiding places, and if the catcher does not have considerable intelligence and experience, it will never be easy to get his hands on. A true expert can clearly tell if there are rabbits in it by looking at the hole, and at the same time, he can tell if it is worth a try by the direction of the hole. If the entrance of the cave is facing the top of the mountain, even if there are rabbits in the cave, the experienced catcher will turn away, because the work is half the effort, or even in vain. If you find that the entrance of the cave is facing the bottom of the mountain, congratulations, as long as you do it correctly, the rabbit will be more auspicious and less lucky, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Jian Guang's skill in catching rabbits is famous far and wide. According to the memories of contemporaries of villagers many years later, Jian Guangyan was a master of traps, and as long as he went out, there was basically no time to run away. What's even more amazing is that Jian Guangyan mastered a trick that shocked the villagers at a young age, that is, he could distinguish male and female from a rabbit from a distance. No one knows how Jian Guangyan learned this skill, and Jian Guangyan himself is secretive about it, and no one has revealed half a word. Because at this time, Jian Guangyan had quietly tried a side business at home that no one else had ever set foot in, that is, domesticating hares and then raising them in captivity. In this process, Jian Guangyan did not want to have a competitor.

Jian Guangyan wants to make a fortune with this side hustle.

Unfortunately, this side hustle ended in failure. Jian Guangyan found that both adult hares and newly born rabbit cubs were not content to be raised. Even if their owners provide them with far more comfortable living conditions than in the wild, they do not compromise, either trying to escape or committing suicide by hunger strike. Jian Guangyan tried several times, and finally came to a plausible scientific conclusion, that is, rabbits may be evolving like humans, and the hare at this time has evolved to a stage where it can no longer be domesticated by humans. Therefore, Jian Guangyan's Rabbit Boss plan came to an end.

There is another more critical factor in the end of Jian Guangling's rabbit boss plan, that is, why did the old cousin of Layue go back to the village for the Spring Festival in 83.

He Ku is the fifth son of Jian Guangyan's uncle He Runnian. Uncle He Runnian gave birth to nine children, and miraculously all of them were raised to adulthood. He Ku is seven among nine brothers and sisters, four brothers and two sisters above, and a younger sister He Chunxiang below. He Chunxiang is why bother. Why bother to fall to the ground when the three-year difficult period has not passed, just why bother to be born at the turn of spring and summer. Father He Runnian went to his grandfather's bedroom to announce the good news, and by the way, asked his grandfather to name his grandson. He Zuqing, a former colonel of the Nationalist Army and a "historical counter-revolutionary" who was defeated, heard that his family was happy to add a new child, and his face was not happy, but he was worried: The intestines are so hungry that they are knotted, and you are still throwing seeds.

Providence makes people, He Ku is the only lucky one among the nine brothers and sisters who has not suffered, because the family can't afford to support it, he was born before the full moon and passed to the third uncle He Jimei. He Jimei is a military doctor of the armed forces department of Guazhou City, who was burned by an incendiary bomb of the US military during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and after giving birth to a daughter with his wife, he can no longer come in handy. In that special era, the material conditions of military families were far above those of the workers and peasants. He had good luck with the third uncle, and was regarded by his adoptive parents as his own, and he had no worries about food and clothing. Like children from other military families, why bother's life is also elementary school, middle school, joining the army, and assigning jobs. In '82 and '83, my frail adoptive parents passed away one after another. Seeing that the family was in the middle of the road, his sister He Qi, who worked as a nurse in the Longju Military Sub-district Hospital, was fortunate to marry a Hong Kong man, and the family's prosperity continued. The adoptive parents are gone, and the only sister is married to Hong Kong, so why bother to be lonely in the city of Guazhou, and can only return to the village during the New Year's holidays. But fortunately, the adoptive parents did not go to the countryside in those years, so there was no gap between them and their relatives in the countryside for so many years.

He Ku returned to the village this time and brought back a jaw-dropping news for his family, he quit the iron rice bowl that people couldn't ask for, and went to Longju to join his sister He Qi after the New Year. He Qi's Hong Kong husband opened a textile factory in Longju, and he heard that the workers in the textile factory were paid twice as much as He Ku's police officers every month. As a brother-in-law, why bother to go to refuge, my brother-in-law should take care of it, and the salary must be higher than that of ordinary workers.

How tall?

"I don't pee on him for less than a hundred. "Why threaten.

One-one-month-earning-one-hundred!

Everyone's surprise is not difficult to understand, in a year when pork costs eight cents a pound and is only willing to cut two catties to eat during the New Year's holidays, 100 yuan is a huge amount of money. Not to mention in Gualing, it is difficult to find people who earn 100 yuan a month in the entire Chaziping Township. In addition, as we all know, the biggest characteristic of He Ku is that he likes to exaggerate everything, and everyone often consciously folds what he says. But then again, isn't there still fifty yuan for five percent off, that's a lot.

Believe it or not, that's your business. If you don't believe it, there will always be fools who do.

Why should my brother believe it?

Cousin He Wen believed.

Cousin He Yusheng also believed.

The three fools decided to go to Longju with He Ku after the New Year.

The three fools decided to go with him, but their minds were different. The silly boy He Wen really believed his cousin's words and wanted to go to Longju with his cousin to make a fortune. He Yusheng thinks that it is worth a try to earn fifty. Why bother purely wanting to drink "Arctic Ocean" soda. He Bother went to Zhengzhou with his father He Runnian two years ago to attend the wedding of his cousin Jenny He, and has been obsessed with this magical drink since he drank the "Arctic Ocean" soda once at the wedding banquet. Now that there is an opportunity to earn your own money to buy a "Arctic Ocean" soda to drink, why not miss it. Why do you think that you should call the old watch and best partner Jian Guangyan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you have to share the blessings with the old watch.

Jian Guangyan was also suspicious of Lao Biao's words, and wanted to go, but he couldn't make up his mind. For a few old watches, going to Longju is just a matter of luck, and success or failure is secondary, because their family conditions are relatively well-off. Jian Guangyan is different, the poor family has a thin business, the head of the family, and he has a lot of income by following his uncle to work as a carpenter in the village, in case he is not true, going to Longju with him not only delays the time, but also the round-trip travel fee is also an unbearable amount. What's more, the younger brothers and sisters are about to start school again after the New Year, and Jian Guangyan has no spare money at all.

Jian Guangyan said to why bother to go, you go first, things must be as He Ku Lao said, write to me, and I will find a way.

Jian Guangyan dispelled the idea of going to Longju with a few old watches, and on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he went into the mountains with his uncle Jian Youjia to sell charcoal. In Hunan, there is a cold month after the end of the winter, charcoal is an indispensable heating material for people in the city, and the profits from selling charcoal during this time are considerable.

My uncle and nephew also fired two kilns themselves two years ago, but they were unsuccessful without exception. Charcoal burning is actually a delicate craft, although everyone in the countryside says they can do it, but in fact it is not as simple as it says, this can only be understood by doing it yourself. First of all, the selection of materials is very particular, not all firewood can be burned into charcoal, paulownia, maple, tsubaki, lacquered wood is not good. Paulownia wood does not press scales, maple spicy eyes, Tsubaki wood is oily, and lacquered wood is allergic. Burning these firewood into charcoal by mistake will either outweigh the gains or bad reputation, and the consequences will be serious. Secondly, the mastery of the heat is also a test of kung fu, a little not well controlled, not only the input and output are not proportional, but also the charcoal products are different. Either the charcoal is not burned thoroughly, and the open fire is lit when heating, which makes the house full of smoke and miasma, and has a bad reputation; or the charcoal is burned thoroughly, and it is pulled out of the kiln and directly broken into slag, which is not good-looking. The uncle and nephew were full of confidence and fired two kilns in a row, sweat and labor into a lot, but they didn't make a few money, and found that it was not as cost-effective as selling charcoal in the mountains. In the mountains at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, there are many masters of charcoal burning, and it is clear whether the master is from the works he fired. The length of charcoal is uniform, a flick of a finger can make a crisp pottery sound, grab a head in the air and shake it will not break, after breaking the charcoal core has uniform and fine pores, this is a good charcoal of the first class. The one who can burn this charcoal is the master, otherwise it is useless to break the sky.

The sales of charcoal around the Spring Festival are the best, first, there are more people buying charcoal, and second, there are fewer people selling charcoal. During this period, the charcoal was picked out of the mountains, and two sacks could earn five pieces, two more than usual. However, these five yuan is not something that anyone can earn, and not anyone who is willing to earn it - two sacks of charcoal, the standard weight of a bag is fifty catties, purely by one flat pole and two shoulders. A round trip of fifty-six kilometers, half of the mountain road, half of the road, all on two legs, and you have to hurry, if you are not forced to make a living, the ghost is willing to do it.

After dinner, I left home, lit a torch, and entered the mountains at seven o'clock in the evening. Selling charcoal came out of the mountains and rushed to the market on the outskirts of Guazhou, it was already early the next morning. Squat on the side of the road in the cold wind and sell the charcoal, buy two mixed vegetable buns for a dime, or eat a bowl of somen noodles for a dime, make a tooth sacrifice, warm your body, recover your strength, and then turn around and rush home. When I got home, it was getting dark, and it was a whole day and a night. With such strong physical labor, even in the prime of life, half of his life is basically gone, not to mention Jian Guangyan, who is only seventeen years old and weighs only eighty pounds.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he followed his uncle Jian You's family into the mountains to sell charcoal and earned five yuan. I slept at home for the night on the fifth day of the new year, and went into the mountains with my uncle again on the evening of the sixth day of the new year. Due to the serious overdraft of his physical strength last time, he has not completely recovered, and his nutrition cannot keep up, this time before he got out of the mountain, Jian Guangyan clearly felt that Mount Tai was pressing on the top, his legs trembled, and he was dizzy. In order to earn the five yuan, Jian Guangyan gritted his teeth and followed behind his uncle. But the will is not omnipotent after all, in the next sand steep slope, the liberation shoes on the feet did not grip the ground firmly, the knees suddenly weakened, and the legs fell to the ground. The straw torch inserted on the side of the flat shoulder shook violently, and the ashes of the torch with sparks fell on the back of his neck. Both hands let go of the pole, the pole slid off his shoulders, and two sacks of charcoal rolled down the hillside "gurgling". Jian Guangyan didn't care about the pain, and chased down the mountain with a roll. Anyone who has studied physics in middle school knows that from top to bottom, as long as the distance is sufficient, a two-legged person will never be able to run an object in a circular motion, because an object can do accelerated motion, but a person cannot. Jian Guangyan tried, and sure enough, he turned over a few times on the slope, but he didn't catch up with the two sacks of charcoal. It was this incident that became the last straw that crushed Jian Guangling. The sins of suffering over the years came to my heart at once, and my sorrow rose from my heart, but there was nowhere to vent.

Uncle Jian Youjia went down to the foot of the mountain with charcoal, and saw his nephew sitting barefoot on a big bare stone by the roadside, a pair of white-washed liberation shoes resting on the ground, and the two sacks of charcoal in front of him were broken into slag. Jian Youjia put down the charcoal on his shoulder and asked his nephew if he had fallen and injured himself.

Jian Guangyan said that the people were fine, and the charcoal was scrapped.

Jane Youjia said oops, Ben was all in it.

Jian Guangyan said uncle, give me a cigarette.

Jane Youjia said that you still have the heart to smoke.

Jian Guangyan said that forget it.

Jian Youjia saw his nephew's frustration and said that it would let you waste one.

Jian Youjia took out a box of "Xiangling Mountain" from his pocket, gave one to his nephew, and ordered one himself.

Jian Guangling lit a cigarette and smoked silently, accompanied by a sigh.

Jian Youjia comforted his nephew, saying that it was already like this, and he couldn't get it back with a sigh. Go home and fall into bed and sleep well, and then follow me into the mountains in two days, and I will ask the mountain guy to give you charcoal on credit first, and I am familiar with the mountain guy.

Jian Guangyan said Uncle, is this how my life is?

Jian Youjia said Hey, I know that you are bitter in your heart, and you want to open a little.

Jian Guangyan said Uncle, is this how my life is?

Jian Youjia said that when the spring begins, I will take you to the coal mine in Jiangxi to make a lot of money. Guangyi pestered me a few times and told me to take him, but I didn't even nod, he was too stupid. After spring ploughing, I can earn more than 200 yuan after working for two months, and I can come back to harvest early rice. After harvesting the early rice and planting the late rice, I went with me to Wuhan to build a railway and dig a tunnel. The income of digging tunnels is high, three yuan and five a day, and you can earn more than 200 yuan by working until the cold dew - but to be honest, going down to the coal mine and digging tunnels earn a lot, but they are also two rare drudgeries in the world, and it is common for people to be injured and die. Whoever has done these two drudgeries will be angry when he sees Hades after death.

Jian Guangyan said Uncle, don't you understand, I'm not a farmer's material, I shouldn't be a farmer's life. Uncle, look at my hands, look at my hands, my hands shouldn't be the hands of a peasant.

Jian Youjia said uh-huh, your hands are good hands, ten fingers are slender, soft, clear, and clear, and the whole commune can't find a second pair of such a pair of peugeot hands, logically speaking, this should be the hand sitting in the office holding the pen.

Jian Guangyan said that I was unwilling.

Jian Youjia said I can understand, you are still young, and you still can't figure out many things, but you can figure it out when you reach my age. You are the same as me, everything is good, but you have voted in the wrong place, that is, in the wrong place, and in the wrong person, you and I should not be this ghost even if we are a little better.

Jian Guangyan said what should I do, uncle.

Jane Youjia said that I really asked the right person - I don't know.

Two days have passed, and his uncle Jian Youjia, who lives under the same roof, quietly called Jian Guangyan from home to outside the house at night. Standing under a pitch-black fence, Uncle Jian Youjia took out a folded plastic bag from his arms like a thief, saw that there was no one around, and quickly stuffed the plastic bag into the pocket of Jian Guangling's chest, and said Guangya, put it away, there are more than forty yuan in it, you take it to buy a ticket, and go outside with your old cousin, maybe it is really a way to live.

Jian Guangyan was shocked and said Uncle, where did you get so much money.

Jian Youjia said that I sold the dozens of fir trees on my mountain to He Yunqing, and after the first month, he brought people to cut them. You are a smart person, you really should go outside and break through - this poor mountain and bad water can't grow good crops, if you don't leave, you will really be like your uncle in this life.

Jian Guangyan said that the fir was left by you to Guangmao to beg her mother-in-law to build a house in the future.

Jian Youjia said to look at the front first.

Jian Guangyan said that if you don't discuss such a big matter with your aunt, she will skin you if she knows about it.

Jian Youjia said that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so don't worry about it.

Jian Guangyan said that I can't ask for this money, Guangzai and Cui Ping are still studying, and I can't pay it for a while. Uncle, if you really have the heart to pull me, use this money as a book, and do some side jobs nearby, and I will give you a hand. It just so happens that I have figured out a way to make money in the past few days.

Jane Youjia said——。

Jian Guangyan said that on the third day of the Lunar New Year, I took Guangmao Guangzai to my aunt's house in Jiangxi to pay New Year's greetings, and I noticed that the agricultural and sideline products in Jiangxi are generally cheaper than ours, and the dried chili peppers are only 31 catties of anise, and they are sold for one piece in the Guazhou market; the salt side sells four corners and 5 corners and 5 corners here; and the old ginger side sells 1 corner 5, and this side sells more than three corners. We sell goods from there to this side, and there is a profit.

Jian Youjia scoffed at his nephew's way of making money, saying that from here to his aunt's house for forty or fifty miles, it was all up and down the mountain, not to pick or mention, just walking back and forth would lose half of his life, you don't know.

Jian Guangyan said that I thought of it, don't walk, take the train. I asked Uncle Finetooth to take a train from his house to Guazhou City, the fare is two yuan for one yuan, and two yuan for two people. You and I sell 100 catties of dried chili peppers, and we can earn twenty or thirty dollars in one trip, and we still care about these two yuan and four fares.

Jian Youjia lowered his head and pondered the feasibility of his nephew's way of making money, but finally felt that it was still not feasible, because it was a cross-provincial business, one was afraid of ruffians knocking bamboo poles, and the other was afraid that the commune would find trouble, and the bamboo basket would be empty.

Jian Youjia said Guang Ling, you should take this money to try your luck in Longju, don't think about it when you engage in a side business, we don't have this life - did you forget the lesson of selling bowls in Jiangxi that year so quickly.

Jian Guangyan weighed it repeatedly, and finally accepted his uncle's advice and decided to take the money and try his luck with a few old watches.

Before leaving, Jian Guangyan entrusted his uncle to let his sister Cuiping set fire at his uncle's house during the days when he was not at home. The younger brother Guangzai went to high school in Guazhou City, lived in the school, and only went home once a month, so he didn't need to take care of him. Sister Cui Ping has just entered middle school, she is still young, she goes out early and returns late every day, let her live alone, Jian Guangyan can't rest assured.

Uncle said that you can go out and rest assured, don't worry about home, there is an uncle to eat, and your sister will not die of hunger.
