Northeast China, a famous old industrial base in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the rapid development of the national economy, this piece of white mountains and black waters, gradually transformed into an important agricultural area.

When it comes to agriculture in the Northeast, it is natural to think of a cash crop - corn, which is called "bud rice" in the Northeast.

And our next story is related to this bud.

In Northeast China, due to geographical factors, the seasonal temperature difference is obvious, and the four seasons are distinct.

There is an old saying in the local countryside that "spring planting, summer busy, autumn harvest, winter storage".

Winter is the most chic moment for farmers, the golden bud rice has been upstairs, people who have worked for a year, began to "cat winter", the store at this time has turned into a chess and card room, here is almost the only place for farmers in the Northeast to gather and relax in winter......

Baiyin Village is an ordinary small village on the west side of this Jisheng Town, saying that it is ordinary, in fact, it is not ordinary, since the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China, here is a place where soldiers must fight, why do you say that, because there was a big silver mine here.

Later, a group of people with pig-eared hats hollowed out this large silver mine, except for the name of the village, they couldn't take it away, and they took everything they could......

Today's Baiyin Village has long lost its former glory, it is a village of ten miles and eight villages, a famous poor village, the old people in the village all said that it was the artillery that bombed the mine, blew up the mountain, changed this feng shui, want to slow down, difficult!

Baiyin Village is located in a large mine with low terrain, and its crops are rarely exposed to sunlight and are often flooded, and the grain in their village can rarely be sold at a good price.

But not all of them are poor, and the Yang family in the village has a good life.

The Yang family has four brothers:

The eldest brother Yang Chun, the second brother Yang Xia, the third brother Yang Qiu, and the younger brother Yang Dong.

The eldest brother Yang Chunken is hard-working and can work, has opened a lot of land, is diligent, and has accumulated a lot of wealth by farming, but he is a little picky, not only for outsiders, but also for his family.

The second brother Yang Xia is the only person in the family who graduated from junior high school, writes well, is sleek and old-fashioned, and has some errands in the town government, and gradually gained a firm foothold, and now works at the town cultural station.

The third Yang Qiu's brain melon seed spirit, although he is lazy in farm work, but he is a good hand at trading, and he is a grain seller in winter, and his life is prosperous.

As for what a grain dealer is, we'll show it later.

The fourth Yang Dong is the most uneasy one among the four brothers, he is the last, pampered since he was a child, and the three brothers also take good care of him, he is short-tempered, likes to gamble, and his daughter-in-law always quarrels with her because of this, but he is very addicted to gambling, and no one can do anything.

In the rural areas of Northeast China, not everyone is "cat winter", there is a group of people who are busy in winter, they are "grain sellers".

"Grain dealers" are a special profession, they are only busy in winter, collecting grain from peasants at low prices, and then selling it to state reserves or private grain depots at high prices.

Of course, this is a good situation, once you look away, the situation of losing money also happens from time to time, moldy, high moisture grain, the grain depot does not collect, can only be sold to the alcohol factory, the grain collection industry, see the water pricing is a craft, ordinary people can not enter the line, into is also a loss.

Basically, the grain in each area is contracted by one or two grain dealers from their own village or neighboring villages......

Anyone who is called a grain dealer has some paragraphs, and he also has some prestige in the local area, and occasionally there are ignorant grain dealers from other places who come to pry into it, and they will be more or less "taught" by others, and over time, "not robbing grain" has become a common rule among local grain dealers.

In the winter of 1989, Yang Qiu was 25 years old, and his 24-year-old wife Song Xiaofang gave birth to a son named "Balang".

Hachiro was born in the first house in the east of the village, in a mud house with dilapidated doors and windows and leaky walls.

When Yang Qiu was young, he was away from home all day, and when it was winter, he took Yang Dong and gambled in Jisheng Town all day long, seeing that his wife's belly was getting bigger day by day, he didn't care.

Nine out of ten gambles and nine losses, and a lot of foreign debts......

His wife Song Xiaofang can only cook on the kang with a big belly every day, and there are often strangers who come to the house to collect debts......

One day in winter, Song Xiaofang accidentally fell down when she got off the kang, and then her stomach hurt, she reached out and touched it, only to say that it was broken, it should have broken amniotic fluid.

Seeing this, the Liu family hurriedly divided into two ways, the old lady and daughter-in-law helped her home, and started a fire to boil water, Lao Liu Tou and his son drove the ox cart to the neighboring village to find the midwife, thanks to this warm-hearted family, Xiaofang and Balang, the mother and son, the lives of the mother and son......

At that time, there was no communication equipment, this Yang Qiu and Yang Dong, who could find them wherever they hid in the town, the two brothers had good luck that day, won some money, and they didn't like to get off the table, and they played from morning to late at night......

Everyone in the house was playing, and suddenly heard the "creaking" sound of shoes stepping on the snow in front of the window and behind the house, which was small and urgent.

The gamblers' hearts tightened, thinking that they were broken, this was a dumpling made by the police.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door outside:

"Open the door, open the door, from the police station. ”

"It's broken" Yang Qiu thought to himself, and hurriedly put away the gambling money scattered on the table and stuffed it into his pants pocket.

"If you don't open it, you'll kick the door," the voice outside the door began to be a little impatient.

A small man couldn't help it, suddenly opened the front window and jumped out.

I only heard someone shouting, followed by a "poof", the little man was caught from the air and fell directly to the ground, and the little man at this moment was moaning painfully with his face against the snow.

This frightened Yang Qiu and Yang Dong, who had rare luck today and won some money, but they were targeted by the police, and the two of them were holding the money in their pockets, anxious like ants on a hot pot......

Seeing that the knock on the door was even worse, Lao Zhao, the owner of the bureau, couldn't sit still, today's catastrophe can't be avoided, and if someone kicks the door open, the problem will be even more difficult to solve.

After thinking about it, Lao Zhao thought about it, and walked towards the door......

"Lao Zhao, what do you want to do?" Yang Qiu saw the thoughts of the bureau owner and hurriedly asked.

"What are you doing, open the door, is there any other way?" Lao Zhao said, but he didn't stop at his feet, and walked straight towards the door.

"This grandson is cowardly, third brother, what should we do?" Yang Dong pointed to the money in his jacket pocket and asked.

"Cover your face, when Lao Zhao opens the door, let's jump out of the window and run!" Yang Qiu whispered next to Yang Dong's ear.

"Didn't that kid just now be caught, didn't we pest run into the net?" Yang Dong asked.

"There are only two and a half people in his police station, Lao Zhao opened the door, and most of the public security had to rush into the house, I just listened, there are still people in the back window. There are at most two people down here. Yang Qiu pointed to the window in front of him and said.

"Understand, third brother, Lao Zhao will open the door in a while, let's jump together!"

Yang Qiu nodded, didn't speak again, stared intently at the window close at hand, the room was silent, and everyone was busy putting the gambling money in hand into their underwear and hiding under the soles of their shoes......

Lao Zhao walked to the outhouse, opened the door bolt tremblingly, just opened a small crack, the door was instantly opened by three uniformed public security officers, Lao Zhao also knew each other and quickly took out a cigarette to please these people.

No one paid attention to him, and the three of them walked straight to the back room, and Lao Zhao followed silently.

"Oh no, someone ran away!" shouted Liu, a public security officer in ambush outside the window.

When Director Du heard this, he hurriedly ordered the young public security officer Feng Chun to chase after him, Feng Chun ran outside the house to take a look, and the public security officer Liu grabbed a person with one hand and was anxiously looking at the direction outside the door.

Feng Chun couldn't help but chase after the door......

Sure enough, as Yang Qiu expected, the two brothers jumped out of the window, only one person was ambushed under the window, holding the little man who had just been caught, seeing that the plan was successful, when Yang Dong landed, his feet slipped and he fell, Yang Qiu was about to help, hearing Da Liu's voice, he had to flee in a huff, Yang Dongwei kicked his feet, and sat on the ground angrily and slapped his thigh, and he was unlucky.

Yang Qiu didn't run far, he heard someone shouting behind him, he looked back and saw that a public security officer was running towards him, the speed was not slow, Yang Qiu gritted his teeth and accelerated forward......

After running for a while, Yang Qiu looked back and gasped, he met a ruthless person today, he can really run!

He accelerated this time, not only did not get rid of others, but got closer and closer.

In a hurry, Yang Qiu decided to take the mountain road, Baiyin Village and Jisheng Town were only separated by a mountain road, and Yang Qiu often walked.

This one decision changed the fate of many people......

The silver tale is officially staged!
