Pang Wenshan, Pang Wenhai's younger brother, was an officer of the Kuomintang before liberation, and later fled with the Kuomintang to the southern treasure island, where he started a family. Later, because his wife had a little relationship, after retiring, he began to start a rubber business, which was relatively successful, although it was not as rich as the rich on the treasure island, but his net worth was also very expensive.

He thought very much about the mainland on the treasure island, but he did not dare to return, and it was not until the 90s that he mustered up the courage to visit relatives on the mainland.

After this person returned to the mainland, he made a joke.

When he went home to visit his brother Pang Wenhai, he saw the hanging oven baked cakes in the nearby market, which brought back his childhood memories, so he thought about buying some baked cakes and taking them to his brother's house.

The person who made the baked cakes asked him how much he bought, and this Pang Wenshan was used to living on the treasure island, so he said casually: "Buy one hundred yuan!"

The purchasing power of 100 Taiwan dollars in Baodao is not very large, and you can't buy much to buy things, but this 100 yuan, in the early 90s, was a lot of money, and the purchasing power was extremely considerable.

In the nineties, in the Yunze area, one dollar could buy five hanging oven baked cakes and twelve fried buns. For five cents a piece, you can drink a bowl of hot and fragrant mutton soup, and when you go out alone, if you just eat, three yuan is about the same.

Pang Wenshan opened his mouth at this time and asked for 100 yuan of baked cakes, and he was so happy that the person who made the baked cakes was overjoyed, and when he saw that he had given all the money, what else was there to say?

When Pang Wenshan saw this small mountain-like pile of baked cakes, he was immediately stunned.

He didn't expect that the purchasing power of a hundred yuan would be so great, he couldn't take a big dustpan of baked cakes at all, and the people who made the baked cakes were kind, after he reported Pang Wenhai's name, he directly lent him a board car, these baked cakes can be pulled by a plate car to Pang Jiazhuang, and then the car will be sent back.

I bought too many of these baked cakes, and I couldn't return them, so I wanted to send them to him at that time, but people had something to do and didn't have time to send them.

Although Pang Wenshan has family resources, he is used to frugality, he was hungry in his early years, so he attaches great importance to food, and he is reluctant to throw it away, so he has to pull the car to Pangjiazhuang by himself.

But he forgot one thing, when he was young, walking back to Pangjiazhuang from the bazaar was not a thing at all, but now that he is old, physically exhausted, and the road is bumpy, this cart can't be pulled anymore.

At this time, the flatbed car, there is also a name, called the ground row car, usually young people push the cart or pull the cart is quite brisk, the elderly in the countryside pull it is not a problem, but Pang Wenshan has been pampered for many years, has not done physical work for a long time, he is in his seventies, how strong can he be? Pulling the car for a while on a hot day, he can no longer stand it, and then he is upset on the road, and he directly gives the car away, and he doesn't want to burn the cakes.

This incident was regarded as a joke by the locals and talked about it for many years, and Guan Xiaojun also knew about Pang Wenshan from this joke at the beginning.

After the old man returned to his hometown, he invested a lot of money in the Yunze area, preparing to set up a factory and set up an industry, but in the end it all failed, and later opened a particleboard factory, which was considered to make some money. Originally, if the factory had been opened, the future would have been bright, but he didn't know what to smoke later, and it was estimated that he was picked up, and after selling the particleboard factory, he bought thousands of acres of land in the west of Yunze City to plant trees.

In the eyes of people at the time, it was simply inexplicable, and later Guan Xiaojun learned from Guan Yunshan's mouth that someone told Pang Wenshan at that time that Yunze City was going to develop to the west, so Pang Wenshan bought so much land in the west, and it was seventy years to buy it, and his original plan was to wait for the development time to make some compensation.

But who knows that the development of Yunze City is developed, the development is not to the west, but directly to the east, the construction of railway stations in the future, the construction of highways, all in the east of the city, the west until 30 years later, still maintain the original appearance, did not move at all.

Pang Wenshan did not develop in the first class, did not develop in the second class, and after waiting for several years, he knew that he had been deceived, and he was sad at that time, and returned to Baodao with a bottle of soil from his hometown, and never came to Yunze again.

However, Pang Wenshan's son Pang Shimeng later set up a factory in the Yunze area and made a lot of money, but later sold the factory and returned to Baodao, and since then their family has never intersected with Guan Yunshan's family.

Seeing that the old man in front of him was Pang Wenshan today, and seeing his embarrassed appearance now, Guan Xiaojun suddenly remembered some things about him.

He had only heard of Pang Wenshan's name, and had never seen him, but when he looked closely, he saw that he had a square face, a lion nose, a fat figure, and his trachea didn't seem to be very good, and the panting sound could be heard from a long distance.

After Guan Hongda and Pang Wenshan met, both of them were excited, holding each other's hands for a long time.

"I thought you were dead!"

Guan Hongda looked at Pang Wenshan in front of him and said with a smile: "After so many years, there is no letter from you, even Brother Wenhai thinks that you are gone!"

Pang Wenshan said loudly: "I wrote it! I write to my hometown every year, but I can't wait for a reply, I thought everyone was gone! I know that I only received a reply from my eldest brother last month, and I realized that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are still alive!"

"My brother is still alive, then I have to come to see him, look at my sister-in-law, the children said they were ready to come again, I can't wait, I have to rush to my eldest brother for his birthday, and ah......"

When he said this, tears couldn't stop flowing, "I haven't swept the grave of my father and mother for many years!"

The old man's homesickness is palpable.

Guan Hongda said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back! Today's eldest brother celebrates his birthday, and when you come, you are better than anything else!"

The two shook hands and talked for a while, and after everyone in the car had seen it, Guan Hongda glanced at the ground row car next to him, and said curiously: "Why are you pulling such a car?

Pang Wenshan looked embarrassed, "Don't mention it! I haven't gone home for many years, and this time I have made a joke!"

He pointed to the baked cakes on the car, and told Guan Hongda about buying the baked cakes, "Our country is spending so much money now? On the island, a hundred yuan can't buy much things!"

Guan Hongda laughed, "How much do you have to buy for a hundred yuan of baked cakes? This person who sells baked cakes can't do it, so I don't know how to send it to you?" I'll reason with him when I go back!"

Pang Wenshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's okay, it's mainly because I'm confused!"

The more Guan Hongda thought about it, the funnier he became, and said: "Let's go, let the child lift the car to the tractor, these baked cakes, just pull them to Pangzhuang, there will be no fewer people celebrating the birthday today, just for everyone to eat!"
