Chapter 1: Old Boxes and Old Tickets
When Yang Changting was convinced that he had returned to his body in 1982 from 2020 and understood that he had crossed over, he felt bitter in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.
His head was still in severe pain, but as the memories of his fifty-five-year-old self and his seventeen-year-old self were gradually merged, his thinking became clearer.
In front of the left is an earthen stove: old adobe bricks, yellow mud, three pots, and an arc-shaped one-meter-high stove, which is the standard configuration of the old house.
Earthen walls, black houses, wooden beams, old tiles, cobwebs, and hanging black dust, these are fused with the real scene in front of you from the distant memories and presented realistically. This is what the 82-year-old house looks like.
When the person is fully awake, he can't help but smile bitterly.
I was hit by the same old box twice in my life, and I guess it's only myself. The old box is solid and heavy, storing the assets of the family.
The first time was when I was seventeen years old, I hesitated to repeat my senior year of high school, and wanted to secretly look through my family's background before deciding whether to repeat or give up. Looking through the old box on the head of the second door cabinet, the old box slipped down and hit himself, this is August 18, 82;
The second time was on the same day when I was fifty-five years old, because of the torrential rain and flooding in the Liuhe River, my wife was not allowed to go to the provincial company by herself, and she was stuck at home and bored. Trying to look through the old ticket that was stored in the old box, the old box slipped off the top of the combination cabinet and smashed on the head.
Looking at the earthen stove in front of the left, as well as the firewood and grass in front of the stove that were knocked down by himself, Yang Changting could only accept the strange things that happened to him.
I thought that although my father went to the market to sell the goods, my younger brother and sixth sister just went out and could come back at any time. If you see yourself rummaging through the old box, you will definitely tell my father.
This box is very important to my parents, because the family's savings are basically placed in it: there are banknotes, food stamps, cloth stamps, oil stamps, tofu stamps, and so on. If it is broken, or if the parents learn that they have stolen the old box, the father will definitely pick up the flat shoulder and chase the whole village.
I was scared and wanted to pick up the box and prepare to reset the old box.
Only then did I realize that the old box was still pressing on me. At the age of 17, his strength is not small, but he just sits on the ground and can't exert his strength.
was about to push away the old box and stand up, but Yang Changting realized that he was still holding something in his hand.
In his right hand, he was holding a handful of tickets! It was a large 10-yuan ticket, and there were also food stamps. Yang Changting was confused again, and there were more than ten tickets in his hand, more than 100 yuan. The food stamps are also the kind of light red with purple five catties of face value that are commonly used throughout the country, not the light blue provincial stamps of Jiangshang Province!
In shock, Yang Changting counted twelve ten-yuan bills of 120 yuan, and six national grain stamps, thirty catties.
The face value of the ticket in his hand is enough to stun many people at the moment.
The eldest brother is an educated youth, and after being recruited, he worked in the next maintenance section of the Liuhe Regional Highway Bureau, and it is said that the treatment is better. A month's salary is only 24 yuan and 5 jiao, and the monthly ration is 36 catties.
At this time, I have five months' salary from my eldest brother, which can't be the money saved by the family.
Looking at the ticket in his hand, Yang Changting thought about whether he should put the ticket in the old box?
No way. How much money and how many food stamps are in the old box, it is estimated that my parents know in their hearts, and if there are more or less, they will interrogate themselves. How do you explain it yourself?
Thinking so, he hurriedly hid the ticket in his hand in his trouser pocket, pinching it with his hand, afraid of falling out.
What must be done is to reset the old box to the second door cabinet brain, seventeen-year-old self, the strength is not small. Holding the old box with both hands, he climbed onto the stool first, ready to lift it. As long as it is lifted to the cabinet head, all traces will be erased. I will also return to my seventeen-year-old life without any alarm!
"Third brother, third brother. A shout rushed in from outside the door, and it was my brother who had returned.
Yang Changting was a little embarrassed, he stood on the stool with the old box in his arms, and showed his younger brother that he would tell his parents?
"What are you shouting? Yang Changting had no choice, only to stop his younger brother first.
"Third brother ......" The younger brother may have seen the third brother holding the old box, and felt incredible.
His curiosity about the old box is actually even greater, because the whole family has been warned by his parents that no one is allowed to sneak through the old box in private. Whoever violates it, the consequence is the blossoming of the ass.
"I'm not going with the sixth sister yet, I'm looking for a book. Yang Changting found a reason and became angry. Immediately, the old box was lifted up and put back in place.
Moved away from the stool, and tidied up the firewood and grass in front of the stove, and calmed down.
Then, go to the cabinet and grab a book and walk outside. The younger brother and the sixth sister went home, and when they saw Yang Changting holding the book, they looked at him with some fear. Yang Changting knew what the two of them thought, and said with a smile, "Don't walk around at home, I'm going to read a book." ”
Behind the old house is a mountain, not high, full of mountain bamboo forests. This was my father's favorite thing, and he was the most famous craftsman in several communes near and far. When it comes to the craftsman, there is no one who can compare with his father.
At the market, my father would bring him and his second brother a week's worth of rice to sell, which cost twice as much as the others, but his stock was always the first to sell out.
Exquisite, well-proportioned, beautiful, solid and durable, this is the characteristics of the old Yang family's goods.
Walk through the familiar bamboo forest to the top of the mountain, where there is a large rock that is two meters high and more than three meters high. Yang Changting often comes here to play, and today, he is hiding here to be quiet.
Sitting on the stone, the book open. Yang Changting didn't know where to think for a while?
Traveling to the age of seventeen, I want to go through life all over again. What's next?
According to his previous life, he was admitted to the provincial college mechanical school next year, and graduated into Liuhe Machinery Factory three years later.
A few years later, I was just familiar with the parts produced and OEM in the factory, but the machinery factory praised it. After he was laid off, he mixed up in society for a while, and later relied on his classmates to take out a loan and began to get involved in engineering construction.
After the age of 40, he walked out of Liuhe and became prosperous in the real estate industry, and by the age of 48, his real estate company had ranked ninth in the province.
Although the company's ranking in the province is not high, its total assets are not amazing. It's just that as a person from the bottom, Yang Changting is satisfied with himself.
Back in '82, did you still take the road of real estate rise? Obviously, before 2000, this road could not be taken. However, it will always be much easier to prepare early, accumulate strength, raise enough funds, and do real estate on your own in the future.
Yang Changting pondered what to do in front of him, and suddenly thought of an urgent question. This is the biggest thing he has been sad for decades, and time is running out.
It was this year that the fifteen-year-old fifth sister disappeared two months later. It is said that it was because the fifth sister was too tired to work in the prefabrication factory, and she couldn't stand it anymore and left Liuhe without a sound. After that, the fifth sister disappeared into the world.
The disappearance of the fifth sister has been searched for several years at home, but to no avail. Until Yang Changting became the boss, he kept looking for it, and there was still no trace. Regardless of whether there are other hidden secrets that happened to the fifth sister at the beginning, in short, one of the most important reasons is that the family is too poor.
Make money as soon as possible and let the fifth sister leave the prefabrication factory, which is a big deal.
God allowed himself to return to 82 years, is it just to make up for this tragedy?
In the environment of 82 years, how to make money? Even if I didn't think about this problem in my previous life, I won't be helpless.
Fate has given itself such an opportunity, and with decades of experience, it is certain that a way out can be found.
Not only to change yourself, but also to change the old Yang family. It's worth going back again.
