The next day, Yang Fan and his son, Yang Youshan and Xie Xitian, the captain of the second team, took the train to the provincial capital at six o'clock in the morning to buy 'steamer feet'. It was the special shrimp who pulled them to the train station in a horse-drawn carriage, and Xie Xitian once again felt the convenience of the carriage.

Yang Fan used a big bamboo tube to make a box on the back, and used it to load carrier pigeons every time he went out, and this time he also brought one. Now there are four pairs of carrier pigeons, one pair in the barracks, one pair in the white pigeon gate, one pair each in Lao Li and Zhou Changxing, and if there is something to do, they will fly pigeons to pass the book! This time, I have to go to the eldest aunt and uncle to take a walk, so Yang Futang also prepared more than a dozen catties of mountain goods, Yang Fan hopes to open a passage in the provincial capital, and the pattern of Biyi Tietang is too small.

The provincial capital is less than 100 kilometers away from Tietang, and the adult ticket is just one yuan, Yang Fan is sandwiched between three adults, and he doesn't have to buy a ticket to mix it up, and the ticket inspector just glanced at Yang Fan last time, and he didn't hum.

At that time, the train was slow, and it took more than two hours to arrive.

The first time Xie Xitian went out of the country, he was dazzled by the prosperity of the city center of the provincial capital...... Yang Fan smiled secretly, at this time, the provincial capital, that is, the Nanjiang Hotel at the head of the Nanjiang Bridge, is the highest, it seems to have eleven or twelve floors, and there are no other decent buildings, if you come to 2017, the skyscrapers will ...... Not to mention the soil bun Xie Xitian, even Yang Futang and Yang Youshan, the two old rivers and lakes, I am afraid that they can't believe that this is all in the world!

After inquiring all the way, I finally found a place to sell wheels. Because it is a backlog of products, Yang Fan and they are purchasing in large quantities, the seller is very happy, and promised 26 yuan a piece, a total of 40 wheels, plus four inner tubes for backup. The other party also used two tricycles to help send them to the railway station and help them complete the consignment, but the cost was not helped.

Yang Fan saw that there were thermometers for sale in the supply and marketing market next to him, so he sold twenty in one go, planning to go back and use them to help the fourth uncle make a few kerosene lamp incubators.

……

After sending Yang Youshan and them back to the station, Yang Fan released the pigeons and flew back, bringing the news back to call someone to pick up the goods. Then I went to my aunt's house with my father first, and my aunt's house was in a coal mine, and at that time, if rural people wanted to enter the city, they could only enter these hard, dirty, and even dangerous units, and they had to have indicators to enter, unlike later generations, as long as they had money to buy a house, they were city people. It is said that Yang Youshan also entered the coal mine back then, but later he ran home to farm when he was scared of something, and after returning a few years later, he saw that the people in the surrounding villages were safe and sound, and regretted it......

……

The Nanjing Coal Mine is in the southwest of the provincial capital, which belongs to the remote suburbs, and there is only one bus to arrive, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Yang Fan and his son arrived.

The living quarters of the coal mine are all rows of low red brick houses, and the eldest aunt's house is divided into three rooms, all of which have been graded with lime mortar, which is very white, and it is more than a little better than the rural area at that time......

Father Yang Futang has a total of four brothers and four sisters, the eldest uncle is the largest, followed by the eldest aunt, the third uncle, the third aunt, the fourth aunt, the fourth uncle, the fifth aunt, and the father is the youngest.

The eldest aunt went back to her parents' house once eight years ago, that is, when her grandmother passed away, and she has never had a chance to go back until now......

After the death of his father in his previous life, Yang Fan sorted out his relics and found some materials he wrote, although decades have passed, Yang Fan still feels terrified when he sees it, and one paragraph describes it like this...... I have been locked up in the brigade for three days and three nights with Lei ** from Nama Village, and they have framed me for stealing cattle, how can I steal such a big cow? Where do I hide it after stealing it? No one asks or cares about these superficial questions...... Lei ** was very scared that night, and said to me, 'Brother, it seems that we can't hide tonight, I'm almost sixty years old, and there is no pity to die, you must find a way to live at such a young age...... 'In the middle of the night, Lei ** was really taken out and never came back, and later learned that he was 'executed' that night...... After a while, the gang came to take me out again, and I knew that if I went out, I would be more than lucky, so I dared to do it, and shouted, 'Which of you dares to touch me?' My wife has written to tell my second uncle, who is a division commander in Xinjiang, and when he comes back, he will bring back an armored division to see if he will wipe you out!' The second uncle went to serve as a soldier at the age of 16 to fight the world with the party, and he never came back, and it is said that he became a big official outside...... The gang was so frightened that they no longer dared to take me out, and let me go home the next day......"

In the previous life, Yang Futang was wronged a lot of things, Yang Fan has remembered the most clearly since he was sensible is that when he first started planting sugarcane, his father went to the field to buy a cowcart cane seed and rushed back overnight to plant it the next day, and he didn't want a person in the neighboring village to steal the sugarcane seed, so he insisted that it was his father who stole it, and said that he had a nose and an eye, and gathered a group of people to forcibly pull out the cane seed planted by Yang Futang, which was a "good seed" bought by Yang Futang's bankruptcy, and Yang Futang naturally had to defend it to the death! Several cousins and uncles also rushed to help, and the two sides confronted each other, and if they disagreed, they would bleed and die......

"I am an excellent variety of lily, a green cane! What you lost is a black cane, and you will know who is right and wrong when it grows in a few months, and you will be fully responsible when you start fighting!" Yang Futang said loudly to the man.

That person was actually not sure if Yang Futang stole it, and saw that he couldn't take advantage of it in front of him, so he put down his cruel words: "Okay, I'll come back in a few months, if it's a black cane, I'll cut it all and sell it for money, and I'll sue you for theft......"

If my father hadn't bought that "good seed" on a whim, wouldn't he have been charged with stealing sugarcane seeds?

Although those people were speechless, Yang Futang was still laughed at by everyone, because he was too "avant-garde", and green cane was very expensive in later generations, but at that time, it was like the price of fat pork and lean pork, everything was reversed, and the cane planted that year was almost lost!

……

The eldest aunt loves Yang Fan very much, and after dinner, she told Yang Fan a lot of "ancient scriptures", seemingly for fear that the younger generations will forget the previous history of blood and tears.
