Chapter 0003: Where is the Road?

The root cause of this change is that Zeng Wei's family has lost the helmsman of development - Zeng Wei's grandfather Yan Zhenhuang has passed away.

Before this, Zeng Wei's family was run by Zeng Wei's grandfather Yan Zhenhuang.

Speaking of Zeng Wei's grandfather Yan Zhenhuang, he can be regarded as the number one person in the entire Gudan County. Born in the late stage of World War I, he was a graduate of the Huangpu Military Academy, of course, the Huangpu Military Academy at that time had been relocated to Xichuan due to the Anti-Japanese War. After graduation, he became the secretary of a bigwig of the Sichuan army, until the founding of New China shortly after, he rebelled with the bigwig of the Sichuan army in Longxing Temple, and then entered the newly established Southwest Military University in March 1950 for transformation, and successfully graduated and became a major regimental chief of staff of the people's army. Later, during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he was unable to enter the DPRK due to illness, so he returned to the local government and took up the work of teaching and educating people.

Because of historical reasons, in the sixties and seventies, Yan Zhenhuang was defeated, and it was not until he entered the eighty-third year that he was rehabilitated. At this time, he was already an old man in his seventies. In addition, he was criticized for a long time before, and his mental and physical injuries were greatly damaged, and he passed away before he could resume his work.

But even so, in this short period of time, he still guided Zeng Wei's parents to become the first 10,000-yuan household in the township by doing clothing business and Chinese herbal medicine business.

However, Zeng Wei's parents are really not business materials, and not long after Yan Zhenhuang passed away, they made major mistakes in decision-making, lost all the money they earned in the previous two years, and even owed some debts, which have not been paid off until now.

It is precisely because of this lesson that Zeng Wei's parents have had heartfelt worries and even resistance to doing business since then.

………………

Zeng Wei wanted to help his grandmother, but he was too busy and couldn't do enough, he wanted to find something else, but found that he was not interested. After all, he wasn't really a seven- or eight-year-old kid and had no idea about such a thing as playing mud hide and seek with his friends.

And now in '92, there is no other entertainment.

In this era, black-and-white televisions are a rare item for backward mountainous villages, and there are only one or two of them in the entire compound of twenty or thirty households. Even if it can only broadcast the program of the local Kudan TV station, when it is turned on at night, the family with a TV set is like rushing to the market. As for the daytime, I'm sorry, but the Kudan regional TV station has not yet achieved 24-hour broadcasting.

Therefore, it is still noon, and now there is no TV program, let alone Zeng Wei's family does not have a TV set.

As for game consoles or something, it's even more like a legend.

Boredom, Zeng Wei took out the textbook he had just received today, but after reading it a few times, he was no longer interested.

It's hard to imagine that the soul of a middle-aged man in his early thirties would become interested in textbooks in the third grade of elementary school!

However, when Zeng Wei put down the textbook, he unexpectedly found that there was an ancient book on the table that looked a little yellowed.

Zeng Wei picked it up and saw that it was a traditional version of "Water Margin", Zeng Wei tried hard to recall, this should be one of his grandfather's relics.

This "Water Margin" is not the 70, 100 and 120 editions that are common on the market in later generations, but the ancient version of the Water Margin, which was later called "Mei's Water Margin", was first discovered by JS Changshu doctor, bibliophile and novelist Mei Jihe, and is considered by some researchers to be an ancient but long-buried version of "Water Margin", and even the original version of "Water Margin" author. However, this theory is also considered untrue by other researchers, who believe that the book was actually written during the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. Both sides have their own arguments, and the date of the book and its author are still disputed.

Although this version is also 120 times, it does not have the plot of conquest of Fang La, but ends with "Xuannu Palace God Takes the Book of Heaven, Liangshan Bolei Bombards Shijie".

Zeng Wei was very interested, because this version was rare in later generations, and Zeng Wei's family collection was also lost a few years later, and he never saw it again, and only saw the electronic version on the Internet.

Seeing this book, Zeng Wei couldn't help but think of his grandfather's other collections, most of which were books, and they were all ancient books, including the four famous books, as well as "Fengshen Bang", "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Complete Biography of Yue", etc., but in his previous life, because his grandfather was not well protected after his death, he was quickly eaten by insects, and by the time Zeng Wei became an adult and realized the importance of these relics, they were all broken.

This is also one of Zeng Wei's biggest regrets in his previous life.

However, now that Zeng Wei has been reborn and returned to the present in ninety-two years, he has a chance to make up for this regret. Now these grandfather's relics, although they have been damaged because they have not been well protected in recent years, they are not serious, as long as the protection is strengthened, there will be no problem.

………………

Thinking of this, Zeng Wei entered his grandfather's study, an old wooden house that was close to abandonment.

After opening the door, Zeng Wei found that it had been covered with a thick layer of dust, and a pungent musty smell was permeated.

Zeng Wei shook his head secretly, and said in his heart No wonder in his previous life, within two years, his grandfather's relics were basically damaged, and if this trend continues, if they are not protected, I am afraid that there will not be much scum left.

Zeng Wei hurriedly went out of the room, found a Nanzhu broom, and began to beat the cobwebs in the room. You can't clean your room without first cleaning off the cobwebs.

However, Zeng Wei was too young, and he was very tired to do this, and he was sweating profusely after a while.

If it was an ordinary child, he would definitely throw the broom at this time and turn around to go out to play, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted. These are all grandfather's legacy, not to mention the possible economic value, just from the commemorative significance, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth him to do.

After a while, the second sister Zeng Tong also went home from school, and her parents also went home, at this time it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for lunch in the countryside.

Everyone was surprised to find that Zeng Wei was gone, but grandma knew that Zeng Wei had gone home, so she called Zeng Wei's name loudly outside, and then found that Zeng Wei was in his grandfather's study, and they were all a little surprised. However, they were all busy, so they didn't care much, and let Zeng Wei go out for lunch first.

After lunch, parents and grandmother have to work in the field, Zeng Wei sister and brother are also going to go to the field, recently the family is planting radishes, they can do some simple work, but because Zeng Tong wants to complete the homework, and Zeng Wei said to clean up his grandfather's study, they did not insist on the sister and brother to go to the ground.

However, Zeng Wei didn't have to count on them to help clean it up. They couldn't do the work in the fields, how could they have time to do such a thing? Being able to promise Zeng Wei not to work on the ground is already the biggest concession they can make.

………………

Zeng Wei was busy for a noon and an afternoon, and it was not until it was dark that he barely completed the cleaning of the study, and he was naturally tired enough.

However, looking at the various books and items that have been cleaned up, Zeng Wei still has a sense of accomplishment. As long as he can come to the study every now and then to clean up, he will not have the regrets of his previous life.

Among my grandfather's relics, in addition to the ancient books that he had taken great pains to keep, the most were the letters and rehabilitation materials he left over the years.

Although these items seem to be of little value, Zeng Wei knows that these are actually the things that are really important.

Although my grandfather was rehabilitated nine years ago, he passed away before the treatment was restored, and in his previous life, his parents did not care about these things.

Looking at the authentic works left by these grandfathers, Zeng Wei felt quite shameless. Because the words left by my grandfather on these epistolary materials, whether they are small letters, or lines, whether they are brush words, or pen words, they are all beautiful like works of art. That is, when I grow up, I don't have my grandfather's relics at home, otherwise I am afraid that I will be even more ashamed.

Zeng Wei secretly decided that in this life, he must take care of these authentic works of his grandfather and practice his own handwriting.

After glancing at the items in the room again, Zeng Wei closed the door.

………………

Time passes slowly.

In the next few days, the curriculum of the third grade of Qili Township Central School gradually got on track, Zeng Wei went to school and left school with his friends every day, and he was very quiet and serious in class, and his homework was completed so that the teacher had nothing to fault with. The careful Wu Caiyun even found that Zeng Wei's words were much more beautiful than before.

However, only his tablemate Lu Yan knew that Zeng Wei's mind was not on studying at all.

In Lu Yan's opinion, most of the time at her table is outside the world, and the rest of the time is spent writing and drawing some strange things in a notebook. Well, this notebook is also the prize that Zeng Wei received at the opening ceremony for winning the first place in his age last semester.

In fact, Zeng Wei has been thinking hard about how to make money. But after thinking about it, he sadly found that there was no shortcut.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention that he is not a good woman.

After all, in a poor family with little economic foundation, at an age when he has no ability to act independently, Zeng Wei can do too limited.

As for what Lu Yan saw him writing and painting, it was some important memories of his past life. However, because these things are too important to be known to outsiders, he doesn't write in detail, just some simple words, or some symbols, which are naturally very strange in Lu Yan's eyes.
