Chapter 4, Planning

"Uncle Li, this thirty yuan is for you. In the state-run small restaurant, Yang Fan and Lao Li are "sharing the spoils".

Lao Li Pi took the money with a smile, it stands to reason that the paparazzi of twelve yuan should be happy if he gets thirty, but he can't be happy.

"How can this be done? The dog belongs to Lao Li, you kid just makes two moves, ten yuan is enough, and then give Lao Li thirty!"

Lao Li blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Enough is enough, without the words of the tenth brother, I can sell it for 10 yuan at most!"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Lao Li, don't be unconvinced! Actually, you can give another thirty, but I am very poor now, and I really need money." I think you're pretty good at doing business, and I wonder if you're interested in partnering with you in the future?"

When Lao Li heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, this is the master who doesn't put those thousands of yuan in his eyes at all, and hurriedly asked, "Tenth brother, what good business do you have?"

Yang Fan pretended to think for a while, and said, "Now that all kinds of businesses on the street have begun to be done, the policy will definitely be opened up in a few years...... I want to rent a shop in the market next year to sell mountain goods, and you will be responsible for the supply, what do you think?"

Lao Li pondered for a while and said, "This should make a profit...... The problem is that you don't go to school?"

"Haha, you must read the book, and you must ensure that you get the first place in the school exam every year. Yang Fan saw his father's knife-like gaze, and quickly explained, "We can find a reliable person to help take care of the store...... Besides, my father can help a little bit!"

"I can't help you!" Yang Futang said unceremoniously, once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and he hadn't taken off the "speculative" hat on his head!

"Grandpa, don't worry, you will definitely be able to come back in three years at most, but when the teacher is not treated very well in the next ten years, if you can enter politics, it would be great to be an official!" Yang Fan dreamed of wearing the hat of the "second generation of officials", he remembered that in his life around 80 years, several people who looked like big cadres came to his house once, and when he came back from school that day, the "water raising" uncle shouted at him from afar: "Cousin, your grandfather got a big box of money!" However, my father didn't get a penny, but he came back to Fenglin County as a primary school teacher, retired in another ten years, and died of a heart attack a few years later!

......

Coming out of the restaurant, Yang Fan went to the pork store to cut the meat again, his father Yang Futang is also a person with wide fingers, and without saying a word, he asked the butcher to cut more than two catties of pork belly! Mother Wu Lanying often said that people with wide fingers can't hide money, which is not bad at all, in his previous life, his father really never hid any money, he wanted to buy any strange things, he wanted to try, and most of them ended up in nothing!

Yang Fan paid two cents of pork money out of his pocket, Yang Futang swallowed his saliva, and wanted to ask his son for the money, but he was also a very face-saving person, and he couldn't say anything when there were many people on the street, but he kept staring nervously at his son's pocket, for fear that Yang Fan would accidentally lose the money......

Then Yang Fan bought another dollar of candy and biscuits, Yang Futang was embarrassed to interfere, as a father, he felt ashamed, as if he hadn't bought this thing for his children for a long time!

Yang Fan walked in front, asking this and that all the way, Yang Futang followed closely behind and stared at his trouser pocket, for fear that there would be a "chicken hanging" to steal the money. When I passed by the chicken and duck seedling shop, I saw a man wearing a shabby straw hat selling duck seedlings there, the man was about thirty years old, his face and chest were tanned, it was the fourth uncle Wu Yi'an!

"Uncle!" Yang Fan shouted loudly, among the four uncles, Yang Fan felt that this uncle was the most kind, among all the relatives, Yang Fan's family was the poorest, and he was also famous for being poor in several surrounding villages, Yang Fan had seen the fourth uncle use a bicycle to carry rice and corn to help his family many times, but unfortunately Yang Fan's father wrote to him in the second year of prison to tell him that the fourth uncle had died of liver disease, and he was only in his fifties when he died, Yang Fan was sad for a long time!

The fourth uncle is specialized in hatching chickens and ducks for sale, Yang Fan once went into his soil hatchery to see, it was stuffy and hot, Yang Fan once suspected that the premature death of the fourth uncle may be related to the long-term working environment in such a working environment. At that time, it was incubated with fried chaff, very backward, very tired, and the hatching rate was very low, there were many commonly known as "Qutou ducks" that could not be hatched, Yang Fan's mother brought a lot of "Qutou duck eggs" back every time she went back to her parents' house, and the fourth uncle often sent some, boiled the water and scalded it slowly and carefully plucked the hair and then boiled it with sweet wine, it tasted really good! When he was a child, Yang Fan hoped that the fourth uncle could hatch a little more of this "Qutou duck", what a heartless guy!

"Ah Shi, are you here too?" said the fourth uncle in surprise.

"I'm here with my father!" replied Yang Fan.

Then my father also came, and I had a lot of noise with my fourth uncle.

There is a big dustpan in front of the fourth uncle, which is crowded with many black-backed and yellow-bellied ducklings, which are very cute and cute!

"Uncle, what kind of duck is this? It's so cute!" Yang Fan really wanted to get a few to raise at home, at that time raising ducks was the fastest investment in small results, the old man said, "Sixty days duck to be in-laws, sixty days chicken to catch", which means that ducks grow faster than chickens.

"Hehe, this is Gaoyou Duck! Do you like it? I like my uncle to send you a few to raise, you have to be diligent and dig earthworms for them to eat every day!" said the fourth uncle with a mellow smile, the person is very dark, but his teeth are very white and neat!

"I want ten, and I'll send three to you when I'm raised!" Yang Fan said.

"Okay, I'll talk about it when you grow up!" said the fourth uncle, who really selected the ten best ducks and put them in a small bamboo cage, not taking what Yang Fan said as the same thing. Not long after this trend of tail cutting, no one dared to raise more chickens and ducks, so his business was also very light.

Yang Fan handed the bag of sugar cakes to the fourth uncle and said, "Uncle, I bought these sugar cakes with my money today, take them home and give them to my cousins and cousins!"

The fourth uncle looked surprised and refused to answer, looking at Yang Futang with some doubts.

Father Yang Futang told him everything he had just done, he was even more shocked, no wonder he found that this nephew today is very different from the past, he was shy like a little girl in the past, and today his mouth is like smeared with oil and honey!

At this time, Yang Fan leaned into his ear and whispered: "Uncle, I had a dream a few days ago, I dreamed that every family will raise a lot of chickens and ducks in the near future, and the ducks you hatch are not enough to sell, and count the money every day until your hands cramp......"

"Hahaha...... This uncle loves to listen!" the fourth uncle was amused and laughed!

In the end, the fourth uncle just grabbed a handful of sugar cakes and put them in his pocket, and returned the rest to Yang Fan!

......

"You must get a kerosene lamp to incubate chickens and ducks for the fourth uncle!" Yang Fan secretly decided.

…….

On the way back.

Yang Futang held a small cage in one hand, containing ten ducklings, and a string of more than two catties of pork belly in the other.

Yang Fan was thinking about how to make his father an official.

"Grandpa, don't you have a classmate surnamed Lu who is the director of education in Fenglin County?" Yang Fan asked tentatively.

"Yes....... oh...... How do you know?" Yang Futang was depressed, he only heard a little wind last year.

"You told me!"

"I told you?" Yang Futang was completely confused.

"You can go and talk to him when you have time, and by the way, ask if you can be rehabilitated back then?" Yang Fan knew that it was better to be rehabilitated later than early, and the result of taking the initiative to find the leader and the leader to find you must be different.

Yang Futang was a little moved, but he felt a little unreliable, although he hadn't been criticized in the past two years, he hadn't seen any clear change in the direction of the wind!

Yang Fan knew that his father had a hurdle in his heart, so he didn't urge him, let's take a look after a while. I remember that my father never went to the old classmate after he was rehabilitated, and he worked silently as a primary school teacher until he retired, while his classmate surnamed Lu continued to appear in newspapers and television in the future. Yang Fan's homeroom teacher in the first year of junior high school was also criticized that year, and it is said that he almost lost his life. Later, he hugged a thigh out of nowhere, and soon got the opportunity to travel across the country, and after he came back, he ran the train with his mouth full of every class...... Soon after, he was promoted to Director of Education and Head of Counseling Station...... Soar all the way!

Yang Fan felt that it was not difficult to become an official in the early 80s, the first was to have courage, at that time, the social upheaval was panicked, and an iron-fisted person was needed to calm the scene. The second is to have a little real ability, mainly to be able to understand the above policy intentions and basically be unimpeded. For example, the head of the production team and the village chief did not want to do it when he was working alone, thinking that it was a thankless task, and he did not fight for his head like in later generations! His father had the ability, but he was usually cowardly, but his father's performance today impressed Yang Fan, and this is a very important responsibility! Yang Fan believed that with his own "golden finger," his father would certainly be able to run smoothly in the officialdom.

……

When he was about to reach the entrance of the village, Yang Futang suddenly stopped.

"You bring the money and I'll keep it for you!" Yang Futang put the skewer of pork belly over his left hand, stretched out his right hand and said unquestionably.

Yang Fan was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect his father to come to this hand, he knew too well that once the money reached the adult's hand, he would stop expecting it back!

"Give you ten yuan, right?" Yang Fan said with a sigh, it was impossible not to give it.

"Take it all! What if you lose it at such a young age?"

"Twenty, no more!" Yang Fan bargained and said step by step: "Grandpa, this money is dead money when hidden, and it will become more and more unspent in the future...... It's better to put it in my hand and make it come alive, and soon I will make it live for ten or ten for a hundred ......"

Yang Futang heard his six-and-a-half-year-old son nagging for a while, and he thought it was true, thinking of his son's performance today, he no longer insisted, so he said: "Okay, twenty is twenty!"

So Yang Fan carefully took out two large unity sheets from his trouser pocket. Just now, the restaurant ate more than one piece, bought two more pieces of pork belly, bought more candy and biscuits, and spent another piece, so that the forty yuan was only fifteen yuan. ......
