Chapter Forty-Eight: The Fierce Man
"Boom, boom!"
In the courtyard of the Guan family, the Wuling tractor roared softly, Guan Yunshan sat in the carriage, Guan Xiaojun sat beside him, and in the car bucket behind, Guan Yunhai, Guan Yuntao, Guan Hongda, Guan Honglin and other old Guan family A group of more than ten people, all wearing coats, sitting on the horse in the car with sleeves.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, several members of their old Guan family are going to a place together to meet another group of blood relatives surnamed Guan.
This group of clansmen with the same clan and ancestors with the same blood live in Xiaoguan Village, Haolan Township, Hongs County, more than 100 miles away, and both sides have to walk around each other once a year, and these children of the Guan family branch are all descendants of the ancestor of the Guan family.
More than 100 years ago, there was a drought in Fengshan Township, seeing that the crops were about to be killed by the drought, and the people of ten miles and eight townships could not sit still.
At that time, the crops were not harvested, and there was really no second way to survive except to rebel and grab grain.
After hundreds of people discussed on the mountain, they mobilized the villagers of various villages to attack the county seat, led by an ancestor of the Guan family named Guan Qingfu.
Originally, the rebellion was good, the county seat was also breached, the landlords in the city also killed a few, the grain was also robbed, and even the flower girl grabbed a car.
But just after the capture of the county seat, it suddenly began to rain.
Now the heavy rain is pouring, and the dry crops in the fields have returned to life overnight, and the thoughts of these villagers to rebel have faded in an instant.
In addition to the persuasion of his family and the reasoning of some gentry, he promised not to pursue it in the future, so this vigorous rebellion had ended in a hurry.
Later, there was a slip of the tongue in Yunze City, called "Mud-legged rebellion, a rain broke up!", which is about this incident.
At that time, Guan Qingfu saw that something was wrong, and then wanted to encourage others to rebel, these ordinary people no longer listened to him, and he was the leader, the reason why he wanted to rebel was because he wanted to do something "big", and now the team collapsed, and he had to flee for his life quickly.
As for what the local government said "not to be investigated afterwards", Guan Qingfu naturally did not believe it, and fled overnight, and finally settled in Xiaoguan Village, which is more than 100 miles away, incognito, honestly became a teacher, and then married a wife and had children, and spread out his branches.
Guan Qingfu's escape proved to be correct, and after he left, the government beheaded all the small leaders of the rebellion, and even many villagers who had breakfast were beheaded.
Fortunately, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and it was difficult to implement the affairs of the nine clans, and the Lao Guan family spent a lot of money to feed the local government and avoid the disaster of raiding the house.
In fact, at that time, the Guan family was originally a landlord, and the villagers would not be able to survive if they rebelled, and their old Guan family had no need to rebel at all.
But if there is no rebellion in their family, after those villagers rebel, the first person to kill is the old Guan family, and the food robbed must be the old Guan family, so they are forced to be helpless, and the Guan family can only send Guan Qingfu to participate in the rebellion, thus preserving their own property.
It's just a pity that Guan Qingfu, a famous cultural person of the Guan family, had to live in another country, and it was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that his descendants came to Guandimiao Village to find their roots and ask their ancestors according to his legacy.
This year, it should be the turn of the people from Guandimiao Village to go to Xiaoguan Village.
Because Guan Yunshan had a Wuling tractor, these people spread bedding in the car bucket and put the maza, and more than a dozen people were driven by him to Haolan Township.
The distance of more than 100 miles, and the tractor was driving, and the road was not good at this time, so I went out in the morning, and it was not until about one o'clock in the afternoon that I drove to Xiaoguan Village.
In the winter, a group of people on the car bucket were still sitting on the horses and pointing at things along the way, which was quite a taste of pointing out the country, but now, after the cold wind blows, they all cover themselves with quilts, put on locomotive hats, and don't want to speak.
When they arrived at the head of Xiaoguan Village, a group of people had already come out to greet them, because the date for visiting each other had been set decades ago, so these people from the side tribe had been waiting at the head of the village for a long time.
"Brother Hongda, you guys are here!"
Among the dozen or so people at the head of the village, the leader had a goatee, wore a black cotton jacket and black cotton pants, a black belt at the trouser legs, big cotton boots, and two hands in the cuffs, looking around, until he saw a group of people standing up in the tractor body, he greeted him with a smile, "Old brother, it's been hard all the way!"
Guan Hongda jumped out of the car and said with a smile: "Today's sun is still warm, and I don't ride a bicycle, it's not hard, Hongbei, you don't look old at all!"
When the two of them were greeting, more than a dozen people in the car bucket also jumped down one after another, handed each other cigarettes and lit fires, and chatted in the village.
Guan Xiaojun was dressed in new clothes, standing beside Guan Yunshan, and looked curiously at the group of people in front of him, to be exact, a young man in his twenties in this group of people.
The young man had a rectangular face, dark eyebrows, a straight nose, and a pair of round-rimmed glasses with agate-framed glasses, one of which had been broken and wrapped several times with white tape. He was tall and thin, and he looked extremely unsociable in the crowd, and the few young people next to him also paid little attention to him.
This person's name is Guan Yunpeng, after thirty years, he will become a feudal official, a prince-like big man, who has been in the frontier for many years, and later entered the Yunnan-Guizhou region as a provincial high-ranking official, and when Guan Xiaojun was reborn, he had been transferred to the central government.
Many years later, every New Year's holiday, the big and small cadres of Red S County have to go to his house to pay New Year's greetings with his father, and every year the number of relatives and friends will increase.
There are also people who had a whim to change Xiaoguan Village to Daguan Village, but after Guan Yunpeng found out, he laughed it off.
Guan Xiaojun's ability to mix with department-level cadres in the province in the future also has a lot to do with this person.
If it weren't for the fact that he was Guan Yunpeng's own family, with Guan Xiaojun's temper, he wouldn't be able to get it.
At this time, Guan Yunpeng was very unsatisfactory, he had seven brothers in his family, he was the eldest, and now because there are too many men in the family, and the fields are small, plus several brothers have married daughters-in-law one after another, the family's money has never been enough to spend.
Now no one in the family gives him a good look, because Guan Yunpeng is dedicated to studying, and he has to spend money to buy books, buy materials, and want to take the college entrance examination, which makes the already poor family even worse.
Because of his stubbornness and ignorance, the people in the village gradually distanced themselves from him and did not treat him very well, until he graduated from Kyoto University, the situation was completely reversed.
This is a real fierce man.
