Chapter 2 The Old Yang Family
Grandpa and father are both only sons, and the generation of the old Yang family to Yang Changting suddenly prospered.
Yang Changting is ranked third, the eldest brother works in the road maintenance class, and the second brother is also a young man in the countryside, but when he was recruited into the hemp factory of Zhigong Commune, his father did not agree, so he stayed at home to be a carpenter.
There is news that Liuhe's Bamboo Palm Club is going to recruit people, and my father thinks that the second brother can only give full play to his expertise when he goes to the Bamboo Palm Club. Yang Changting knew that later the second brother and his father did enter the Liuhe Bamboo Palm Society, but a few years later, the Bamboo Palm Society had no business to do and collapsed.
Now the five sisters and six sisters are still young, but the fifth sister is fifteen years old, in the suburbs of Liuhe, into a small prefabricated factory. The sixth sister is thirteen years old, although she is young, she no longer reads, and the housework of the old house is basically covered. Only the younger brother is eleven years old, and he will start his first year of junior high school in the fall.
Yang Changting himself took the college entrance examination in early July, but his grades were poor and he was not admitted to university this year. The same is true of the previous experience, my father finally supported Yang Changting to repeat his third year of high school, and then took the college entrance examination in 83 years, and was admitted to a junior college in the provincial capital, and his wish was successful.
also because Yang Changting took the junior college entrance examination, and later went to work and entered Liuhe Machinery Factory for less than ten years. After the collapse of the suburban machinery factory and the layoff, Yang Changting had a deeper appreciation for the hardships of life, and also had a social foundation for later success.
The younger brother is proud of his third brother's admission to university, and he is more serious in junior high school. After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to Liuhe Citizen Teacher, studied for four years, and became a primary school teacher after graduation. In 2015, the younger brother served as the principal of the city's fifth elementary school.
The situation of the two brothers and three siblings was in Yang Changting's mind, although they lived an ordinary life later, but ordinary people, isn't that the case?
Yang Changting suddenly thought of his father, and his father Yang Bairong had a rough life:
At the age of four, his parents died and he lived with his grandmother, went to private school, and joined the army to save the country.
It is said that Yang Changting also does not know whether it is true or false, and his grandfather was a member of the anti-smuggling team during the Republic of China, specializing in smuggling opium @ films.
Later, the grandfather was ambushed by smugglers on duty and died. When my grandmother learned about it, she committed suicide by swallowing opium @ tablets. The family is left with one old and one young, with a few acres of thin fields, and relies on their great-grandmother to spin and weave cloth to make a living.
His father was upright since he was a child, and he joined the army during the Anti-Japanese War and went to the Chongqing Gendarmerie. It was in the gendarmerie that his upright character was cultivated during that time.
Later, because his boss learned that he was the only seedling in the family and there was an old grandmother at home, he quit the army and returned to his hometown.
Before liberation, he worked as a rural teacher, porter, fisherman, and self-taught carpenter, and when he was liberated, because he was educated, he was recruited into the peasant association, and because he refused to participate in the greed for ink, he was framed and characterized as a landlord, and then simply left and did not become a pumpkin cadre.
The family has nearly ten mouths, and when the pumpkin cadres really can't support themselves, they can't live a good life! This is also a last resort choice, returning to the old family's peace brigade, digging in the soil, and with the help of the eldest son, the life has survived.
After Governor Yang Changting, he didn't have much memory of the earlier family hardships. What he remembers most about his father is that he is picky about eating. The stomach is not good, and if there is a little meat at home, most of it is left to him.
In my memory, my mother has always done this, and she has always warned her children not to compete with their father for food.
When my father was in the military police, he also left a scourge, that is, stomach problems. When you are young, the harm of stomach problems is not yet apparent. But by 85, that is, three years later, my father's stomach problems worsened into stomach cancer, and he had to cut off three-quarters of his stomach.
In the next two years, my father was unable to eat and lacked nutrients because of the basic loss of stomach function. There is only skin and bones left in the body, and the lights go out, which has become the biggest regret of the family!
Yang Changting thought of this, and suddenly his nose was sour. When my father had surgery, he was studying in a junior college in the provincial capital, and his family did not notify him to come back, for fear of affecting his studies. When I came home from vacation, I learned that my father had surgery and cut off his stomach.
After that, day by day, I watched my father lose weight and weaken, but the family was powerless to change.
Until the day he left, Yang Changting happened to be away on a business trip, and received a telegram that the person who rushed back had already been buried and could not see the last face. President Yang Chang knelt in front of his father's black-and-white portrait and wept emptyly!
Later, the days were better, and the material was gradually abundant. Every time I have a family dinner, my mother says the most: Your father's life is not good, and if you leave a few years later, there will be no shortage of food.
Yes, Dad has been short of food all his life!
Now, when I am 17 years old again, I have to change at least one thing, that is, to treat my father before his stomach problem worsens!
This must be done no matter what! Yang Changting said with tears on his face, this is another vow he has made after being reborn.
If you want to cure my father's stomach problems, you have to have money. Making money and how to change the status quo of himself and the old Yang family is what Yang Changting has to think about and choose.
Yang Changting had dreams all his life, and the most in his dreams was the situation where the old box was hit, so he was very familiar with what time this day was.
August 18, 1982.
What is the concept of '82? Yang Changting knows that the Liuhe area has now been divided into households, and the concept of 10,000 households has been put forward two years ago, and it has also set an example.
But at this time, the entire Liuhe City has no independent economy. There are also people who do small businesses, but there are not many, and those who open a store are called self-employed.
For the self-employed, the state has not yet supported the policy for the time being, especially at the local level, everyone is still very taboo about the economic "speculation", economic planning and allocation, management system, administrative cadres, almost no concept of economic understanding.
For the old Yang family, they are still cautious when they bring their home-made goods to the market to sell.
By the way, there will be another nationwide crackdown next year, which will not only clean up the entire social order, but also make the people doing business on this side of Liuhe retreat and wait and see.
At present, if you want to make money, what advantages do you have? What resources do you have? Craftsmanship and the like, are there black technologies? Projects that can be done, are there resources?
Yang Changting sat on the big stone, pinching his fingers and counting, all of which he denied.
However, the current self is not poor and white. At least, there is still some start-up capital in hand. With his own crossing, there are 12 10 yuan bills and 30 catties of national food stamps.
At home, if you can still get food stamps, it's the eldest brother. The food stamps he got were only the light blue stamps of Jiangshang Province.
For a while, Yang Changting couldn't think of a way to make money, and there was not much time left for him. It is imperative to find something easier for the fifth sister to do, and my father's stomach problem is estimated to worsen in a year or two at the latest, and may even be gradually worsening now.
My heart tightened, but then I thought that I was not familiar enough with 82 years at present, and with my vision and life experience in a few decades, I still couldn't find a way?
Another thing you have to face is whether you want to repeat it.
I repeated my studies back then, although I took a junior college exam, and now I still go to this old path?
If you don't repeat it yourself and go straight to business, it will definitely work. However, this will have a great impact on my father and my younger brother.
Yang Changting suddenly thought that he would definitely have to repeat his studies, and he would be admitted to a better university to make his father happier.
"Third brother, third brother......" The younger brother shouted in the bamboo forest, interrupting Yang Changting's thoughts, "What's the matter?"
Yang Changting suddenly felt that he should be closer to his younger brothers and sisters.
"Daddy called you......"
