Chapter 19 Green Gold Bars
Under the repeated quarrels between Guan Yang and Guan Xiaojun, Guan Yunshan, who originally disagreed with the two to buy popsicles, nodded and agreed to the plea of the two, and went to the county seat to wholesale a box of ice cream for the two.
Guan Xiaojun learned to be obedient this time, and found a crossroads in all directions with his sister Guan Yang in the fields and paths, and then put the ice cream box in the shade under the tree, and the two began to shout.
At this crossroads, basically one-third of the people in the village have to pass through here when they are doing farm work.
Because the road is relatively flat and wide, the people in the village who drive the carts to pull the wheat straw are willing to take this road, even if it is a long detour, it is better than trembling all the way on the rugged sheep intestine path.
There are many pedestrians on the road, Guan Xiaojun's mouth is sweet, although the popsicles are not sold as much as the day before yesterday, but the income is not less than the day before yesterday, because he doesn't buy one get one free this time, at most two cents and three yuan, and no matter more, he won't give it.
In this way, the sister and brother had free time, Guan Yang simply brought a small bench and squatted on the ground to write homework, while Guan Xiaojun held a copy of "The Biography of Jigong" from his father's bedside to read.
A six-year-old child actually read a large number of novels, which surprised the villagers passing by, but everyone thought that Guan Xiaojun was just looking through the illustrations in the book, and he must not understand the text inside.
Don't say that these villagers think so, even Guan Yang, who is beside Guan Xiaojun, thinks so.
She is already in the third grade, and now she can only barely read some small compositions, and a longer novel, it is a little difficult to watch, Guan Xiaojun is only six years old now, and he has not even been in the first grade, and he doesn't know the words, how can he understand such a thick book?
She also thought that Guan Xiaojun was just playing with a book, and told Guan Xiaojun: "Don't lose this book, my mother still has to keep the shoe-cutting style!"
Lu Xin'e is illiterate, and has never cherished books very much, sometimes when making shoes for Guan Yang's sister and brother, she will take out a book from Guan Yunshan's bedside, tear off a few pages and cut out a few shoe samples compared to the child's feet, and then make cloth shoes with thousands of soles for the sister and brother according to the shoe patterns.
Several of Guan Yunshan's books were tragically "poisoned" by Lu Xin'e, and they became remnants with missing pages and codes.
Guan Xiaojun's "The Biography of Jigong" in his hand at this time, the back page of the cover of the book has also disappeared, and it was cut off by Lu Xin'e.
In the 80s, the book market in the country suddenly exploded, and intellectuals, who were extremely poor in spirit, had a crazy desire for books.
Walking on the road, they came across a few scraps of paper with words, and they could pick them up from the ground and read them before throwing them away.
At that time, when the Xinhua Bookstore had just opened to sell books other than the Red Book, the entire bookstore was crowded, even in the bookstores in the rural towns and villages, there were also many people who spent money to buy books with their belts strapped to their belts, and this was an era of extreme thirst for spiritual food, and the books in bookstores across the country were basically sold out of stock, and even Zhu Guangqian's academic treatises on literature and art were sold to the point of being out of stock.
It was not until the mid-eighties that this wave of buying books gradually stabilized, but I like to read, like to read, like famous books, this reading tradition has been handed down, until two thousand years later, the rise of online literature, the sales of traditional books gradually declined, electronic reading has become a fashion, and online literature has become the largest cultural carrier.
Guan Xiaojun's "Jigong Biography" in his hand at this time is a more popular category in a batch of literary works in the 80s, mainly for a large number of people who do not have enough reading depth, these books can also be regarded as the storytelling artists at that time sorted out the book commentary, and then after some writers polished and processed, directly published.
There were many kinds of such storytelling at that time, such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Romance of Zhao Kuangyin", "The Biography of Yue Fei", "Ming Yinglie", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Twelve Money Darts", "The Biography of Jigong" and other works, which are basically works in the form of colloquial forms of storytelling.
At this time, Guangguan Xiaojun's family, there are a large set of works about Jigong alone, such as "The Biography of Jigong", "The Biography of Jigong", "The Biography of Jigong", and "The Biography of Jigong".
Two thousand years later, the non-famous cross talk actor Guo Degang said a joke about "Nine Monks and Eight Ways Fighting the Han Palace", which is actually a section in "The Continuation of the Legend of Jigong", but the characters in the book are called Han Dian, and the pronunciation is different.
Guo Degang said that he alone would say this paragraph in the whole country, which is too exaggerated.
When he said this, Guan Xiaojun was still lying in his house with this book.
Looking at the book in his hand now, Guan Xiaojun feels familiar and unfamiliar, and has a sense of intimacy.
This set of books, he has always kept in his previous life, a whole set of books carries a large part of his childhood memories, sometimes when he opens it from the bookcase, his mind always can't help but drift to his childhood in the eighties.
Now that I have done it again, looking at the book in my hand, I have an indescribable strange emotion emerging from my heart.
Just sitting in the shade of the hot summer day with a book in his hand, listening to the breeze and singing cicadas, occasionally being awakened by mules and horses pulling carts, and looking at the wheat straw piled up into a hill swimming slowly.
This laid-back feeling is intoxicating.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sorbet was almost sold, and the siblings began to close the stall, and they had to go out to herd the sheep.
Today's income is not bad, throwing away the cost of one dollar, a total of ten yuan and three cents were earned, Guan Yang was very satisfied, and his happy little face was flushed, "It must be enough to buy a stationery box now, and you can also buy pencil eraser villain books!"
Guan Xiaojun said with a smile: "You can also buy rubber bands, burnt rice dumplings, fried melon seeds, and canned luncheon meat." ”
Canned luncheon meat, malt milk essence can be called the most luxurious nutrition in this era, malt milk essence is generally eaten by the elderly, but canned luncheon meat is suitable for all ages, Guan Yang's favorite thing to eat is canned luncheon meat.
It's also strange to say that the food of Lao Guan's family is not bad, especially Guanghongda's father and son's favorite food, it is simply no meat, no wine, no food, so even in the eighties, you can see meat once a week, and the chickens and ducks raised at home will be caught and stewed from time to time. In terms of food, it's no worse than it was decades later.
But Guan Yang has always had a soft spot for canned luncheon meat, and when he was in his thirties and forties, when he was cooking, he still liked that luncheon meat to cook, and he was about to become a luncheon meat maniac.
Now when he heard Guan Xiaojun say the words "luncheon meat", Guan Yang's saliva was about to flow out, but he still shook his head firmly and said: "Buy the stationery box first, buy the stationery box, and then talk about the rest of the money!"
After returning home, the two of them first have to wash the wheat bran for the old cattle at home, and after feeding the cattle, they will drive the sheep to the river beach to graze, and wait until the sheep come back.
Since "setting up a stall" to sell popsicles on the road, the family no longer objects to the small business of the sisters and brothers, and Guan Xiaojun has to go to Guan Zi's house every morning to learn kung fu and the tricks of raising flowers and planting flowers, and he has to learn kung fu with Guan Zizai at night, and his life is very fulfilling.
At this time, in the northeast region of the motherland, a wave of Junzi orchid is slowly rising, and since the founding of New China, the first hype bubble of drumming and passing flowers is gradually forming.
Sometimes, when Guan Xiaojun looked at the hundreds of pots of orchids in Guan Zi's yard, he felt that these were orchids, which were simply gold bars.
The storm of green gold bars is about to sweep across the country.
