Chapter 60: Returning Home
Xiaoguan Village, which has been noisy for several days, finally quieted down today.
The blood stains on Guan Yunshan's car body have been cleaned, the car has been filled with fuel, and after breakfast, it is time to say goodbye.
"Yun Peng, study hard, you must be admitted to the university to fight for our old Guan family!"
Standing at the entrance of Xiaoguan Village, Guan Hongda patted Guan Yunpeng on the shoulder, "Don't worry about the money for school, we are all a family, how can we watch you make trouble and not help?
He smiled at Guan Yunpeng and said: "I have paid for your schooling! In the future, if you are short of money, you can come directly to my house to get it, most of the money is not available, and my family can still provide the money for your schooling! For so many years, whether it is your Xiaoguan Village or our Guandi Temple, not a single college student has come out, this is a bit embarrassing! Yunpeng, you have to work hard!"
In the past two days, Guan Hongda heard from Guan Xiaojun that Guan Yunpeng's house could not open the pot, which aroused his sympathy, so he deliberately went to Guan Yunpeng's house, gave their family a hundred yuan of living expenses, and drank a few glasses of water at their house before leaving.
Guan Hongda's prestige at this time is extremely high, even the district commissioner gives him some face, and the people of Xiaoguan Village naturally give him face, with him making such a statement, the people in the entire village are embarrassed to snub Guan Yunpeng.
Guan Hongkui shouted: "How can I let you pay for it? If Yun Peng can really be admitted to university, we will make up from door to door, and we have to make up enough money for his school!"
Guan Hongda smiled, "I think Yunpeng's child is very good, none of you are very rich, my family still has some spare money, and the money for this child's school will belong to me in the future!"
Guan Yunpeng's eyes were red, "Thank you, Uncle Hongda!"
Guan Hongda said: "Let's be a family, why do you talk about two families? Okay, don't send it away, let's go back!"
Guan Yunshan started the tractor, and all the dozen or so people in Guandimiao Village jumped into the car and slowly left under the gaze of Guan Hongkui and others.
Xiaoguan Village rescued people this time, the government did not give a penny, but some of the rescued people left some money for the villagers when they left, in general, the villagers did not make money, but they did not lose money.
In this era, no matter how small the country's affairs are, it is also a big thing, no matter how big your own affairs are, it is also a small matter, and with this kind of result, the villagers of Xiaoguan Village are actually very content, but they just make a lot of effort, which is not a loss.
The zigzag path stretches in front of the tractor, disappearing from sight in the wilderness full of green wheat seedlings.
Today's winter wheat is like leeks covering the flat land as far as the eye can see, and the pieces are full of the green of life.
Guan Xiaojun was wearing a military coat, wrapping his whole body, only revealing his mouth, nose and eyes, lying on the gang and looking out, the cold wind blew, blowing the fur collar on the coat and shaking, making a slight pop sound.
The poplar trees on the side of the road that had lost their leaves stood straight there, like a warrior with a straight spine and would rather die, and occasionally a few dead leaves were still reluctantly sticking to the dry branches, like the last few battle flags guarded by warriors.
Not far away, there are naughty children in the ditch in the field to light a fire to burn grass, a little spark down, in an instant a tongue of fire spread rapidly, in the cold wind, this tongue of fire can burn along the dry grass in the ditch for more than ten miles.
If a few stacks of wood were accidentally burned, it would be the time when these children were beaten.
Children in this era like to play with fire the most, and when it comes to winter, they will light fire all over the mountains and fields, and watch the tongue of fire move quickly along the dead grass on the ground under the sweep of the wind, which is a very fun thing.
In fact, not only children, but also adults like to bake fires in winter, and generally light a fire in a crowded place on the street, and a group of people bragging and chatting around the fire, and the day is passed by the fire.
Adults do not have a big problem when they light a fire, but children often have accidents when they light a fire, and the stacks of wheat straw, firewood, and corn stalks in the wilderness often suffer from pond fish, and after being ignited by dry grass, they can burn all night without extinguishing.
Then some people began to scold and beat people on the street, and bear children were often beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and their buttocks bloomed.
This is the most common thing in rural winter life, and it has not changed for many years.
In the bumps of the car, Guan Xiaojun looked at the roadside scenery, gradually became sleepy, and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the car had already driven to the house, and Lu Xin'e greeted her, "Why have you stayed for so long? It's nothing, right? How can the train still crash?"
The people from Xiaoguan Village came to Guandimiao Village the day after the train accident, notified the villagers, and told them that Guan Hongda and others could not come back for the time being, so the villagers did not go to Xiaoguan Village to find someone.
"Alright, don't ask! Hurry up and cook, you're going to starve to death all the way!"
As he spoke, he hugged Guan Xiaojun from the car, "You stinky boy is really willing, and you are willing to give away such a good pendant!
The jade pendant that Guan Xiaojun gave to Zhang Xiaowan was given to Guan Xiaojun by Guan Zizai, and it was worth a lot of money, so he specially told Guan Hongda and his son that they should take good care of it, and it was best not to lose it.
When he was in Xiaoguan Village, when Guan Xiaojun put the jade pendant on Zhang Xiaowan, not only Guan Xiaojun's flesh hurt, but even Guan Hongda's father and son were also extremely painful, but it was not easy to show it, for both of them father and son, face was more important than life, and they would not do anything to block Guan Xiaojun's gift-giving, so they could only secretly regret it.
Guan Xiaojun had already thought about it at this time, just one thing, if it is gone, it will be gone, what is the thing outside the body, and he will not even lose such a thing in this life.
Hearing Guan Yunshan's blame, he smiled and said, "There are several more in the master's house, I'll go and ask for another one!"
Lu Xin'e didn't know what was going on at first, and asked, "What jade pendant?"
When she heard that Guan Xiaojun actually gave the jade pendant to a strange little girl, Lu Xin'e was immediately not calm, and her eyebrows stood up, "You are a loser, you can also send such a thing out! I can't kill you!"
As she spoke, she casually took a broom from the yard and strode towards Guan Xiaojun.
Guan Xiaojun was shocked and ran away.
Parents in this era, beating their children is really beating, they don't know what it means to be merciful, the tools for beating people, what is what is fishing, there are sticks, there are also shoe soles, and whips, and so on, etc., if this is put in the future generations, it will be properly abused to underage children.
Guan Xiaojun once caused a disaster, he was hung up by Guan Yunshan and whipped with a whip, it was like interrogating a prisoner on TV, it was a miserable thing, and the blood marks on his body were one by one.
But the children of this era are unusually solid, even if they are beaten like this, they still survive strongly, and they will forget it after two days.
Sometimes when I talk to a few people my age about such things as adults, everyone sighs from the bottom of their hearts, "How did we survive at that time?"
