In the spring of 1980, the news of the delivery of the package to the households spread like fermentation in Guanjiatun. In the anxious anticipation of everyone, the village chief finally officially confirmed it on the loudspeaker. This is undoubtedly the wish of the people of Guanjiatun who have been looking forward to it for many years, and after calming down, how to distribute the land has become the most concerned issue for everyone. After all, in the absence of other means of earning money, land became the cornerstone of all peasants' lives.

For a while, the atmosphere in Guanjiatun was lively and tense, and some of them had their brains moving quickly, and they had quietly pulled in with several leaders in Guanjiatun. Within a few days, the village chief announced the method of land distribution according to the notice issued by the county, that is, according to the head of each household.

The people of the whole tun were concentrated in the drying field of the tunli, and when the village chief announced the news, there was a bang like an oil pot exploding, and there was a commotion everywhere. The large number of people in the family patted their chests and rejoiced, and the small people in the family beat their chests and feet.

Guan Yuan didn't care how much land he could allot, but Zhao Shenggu was different, although he made a lot of money by selling braised meat, his desire for land was not weak at all. He was not surprised to hear about the distribution by population, because it was also a fairer division.

Guan He and his entourage were not in a good mood, Zhao Shenggu's original household registration was not together, but Guan Yuan was really the Guan family, but they didn't expect that the family had moved to the Zhao family's household registration now, and they couldn't get Guan Yuan's share of land.

According to the distribution of heads, there is nothing to say, no one has anything to say about this, but there is a big difference between whether the field in the hand is fat or thin, and the village chief originally proposed to divide the land around the houses of each family, but some people felt that they were too disadvantaged to do it, and in the end they couldn't, so they had to choose to draw lots.

Some of them are overjoyed when they get a good field, and even their eyes are red when they are drawn to a bad place, and they will fight every day because of a discord, and they are noisy for more than ten days before they finally implement this matter, which also marks the arrival of a new era in Guanjiatun, everyone has their own field, and they have changed their lazy state in the commune, and the whole person is like a chicken blood, and some people even soak in the field all day long, and they will pull out a new weed when they see it.

And the whole country is gradually opening up, the breath of the new era has spread, and the most intuitive thing is that the number of people setting up stalls on the street has gradually increased.

And Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu also went to school as planned. The primary school in Guanjiatun has not been rebuilt since it was closed, so if you want to go to school, you can only go to nearby Zhaojiatun, or it will be in the county seat, for Zhao Shenggu and them, of course, it is convenient to go to school in the county seat.

To Guan Yuan's surprise, Guan Shi was also driven into school by his father Guan Guo. The kid looked at the county elementary school with a crooked mouth, a look of reluctance. "Boss, what's the fun of going to school, it's better to go to the field to catch grasshoppers."

When Guan Guo heard this, his angry nose was crooked, and Pu Fan's big slap beckoned to him: "I'll let you catch the grasshopper, it's not good to go to school, you just haven't gone to school before you are always called stupid by your mother", after beating Guan Shi, Guan Guo said to Zhao Shenggu: "Shenggu, this kid is really making trouble, you help me watch him when I am at school, so as not to cause him trouble." ”

Zhao Shenggu smiled: "Don't worry, the stone is still quite good, is it the stone?"

Guan Shishi looked at Zhao Shenggu's smile and shuddered: "Yes....Yes"

The three of them entered the classroom of class 3 of the first grade, in fact, it is not for nothing that Zhao Shenggu came to school at such an age, but the key is that his height far exceeds that of his peers, as soon as he enters the classroom, it causes a sense of psychological oppression to these little babies, and the classroom that was still noisy just now quieted down, and after Zhao Shenggu and the three of them sat down, those children still secretly glanced at it from time to time.

Guan Shi was originally an overlord in Tunli, he never knew what he was afraid of, seeing these people staring at them like looking at a diorama, he slapped it on the table, "Look at what, what's so good-looking!" ”

Two-thirds of the people in this classroom were city children, and at this time, the city people looked down on the country people, and when they heard Guan Shi speak in the local language, they burst out laughing.

A little boy dressed quite avant-garde glanced at Guan Shi contemptuously: "Countryman! It happened that Guan Shi heard it, he was a violent temper, and he stood up with his fists and was about to beat the little boy, but Zhao Shenggu held him down.

"Child, didn't the adults in your family teach you how to be polite?" Zhao Shenggu got up and stood in front of the boy and asked lightly.

The boy looked at Zhao Shenggu, who looked like a giant in front of him, and although he tried his best to suppress it, he could still see that his whole body was trembling slightly: "... What are you doing, I sue you, I'm not a bully" His eyes became redder and redder, and he was going to cry at the end. Zhao Shenggu also felt bored, and he was not even one ten-thousandth cute, so he returned to his seat.

"Brother, you're about to scare him into tears" Guan Yuan looked funny, stabbed his brother's arm, and pointed to the little boy just now.

"I didn't say anything, this kid looks quite arrogant, I didn't expect to be so daring" Zhao Shenggu shook his head and picked up the newly issued book to read.

At this moment, a small head reached out at the door, Guan Yuan saw that it was Guan Mumu, his father Guan Shulin was carrying his schoolbag behind him, and Guan Yuan waved his hand to Guan Mumu.

Guan Mumu's eyes lit up when he saw it, and his eyes, which were hesitant and scared just now, were full of joy at this moment. Guan Shulin naturally also saw Zhao Shenggu and them. Led Guan Mumu to Guan Shi's side, "Great, I'm afraid that this kid is timid and bullied at school, I didn't expect you to be in this class, Shenggu, please help watch Dian Mumu, lest he dare to say it if he is bullied"

Zhao Shenggu naturally nodded and agreed. Guan Yuan felt that his brother was here to take care of the children at all, one was too active and had to prevent him from bullying others, and the other was too quiet to prevent him from being bullied by others.

There was still a vacant place next to Guan Shi before and after, Guan Shulin led Guan Mumu to sit next to Guan Shi, Guan Shi was originally reluctant, but seeing that Guan Mumu was still clean today, he pouted and didn't say anything, it is better to sit next to an acquaintance than a stranger.

Guan Shulin said a few words of advice uneasily, and then left. Guan Yuan sighed, Guan Shulin is really careful.

Guan Mumu and Guan Shishi sat in front of Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu, Guan Mumu's ears were red, and he glanced back at Guan Yuan from time to time, whenever this happened, Guan Yuan would look back at him with a smile, and Guan Mumu was even more excited. His whole face was as red as a tomato, and he stretched out his hands, looked at the clean hands, and secretly exhaled.

After a while, the teacher came, and at the beginning asked the students to come up to introduce themselves, and then I saw the difference between rural children, most of the urban children spoke generously, and the rural children had a natural awe of the city, and when they thought of their own local language, they spoke like mosquitoes.

When it was Guan Shi's turn, he stood on the stage with a big grin: "My name is Guan Shi, I am very good at fighting, I will mix with me in the future, I will cover you." ”

Guan Yuan's face was black, and Zhao Shenggu couldn't smile bitterly. And the teacher sitting on the side had a green face, "Guan Shi, it's not right to fight, if you fight, the teacher will call your parents."

Guan Shi squinted: "It's going to come like this", the teacher was angry when he heard this, this is really a thorn. When it was Guan Mumu's turn, he was surprisingly calm, and he introduced himself clearly. The teacher just looked at Guan Shi's bully-like students, and Guan Mumu was extremely pleasing to the eye.

As soon as Guan Yuan stood on the stage, the teacher's eyes lit up, this kid was so good-looking, and his speech was moist and glutinous, and some of the little girls below also looked at Guan Yuan with blushing faces.

When it was Zhao Shenggu's turn, his height was no less than that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who simply blinded the teacher, and when he heard that he was only 12 years old, his eyes were full of disbelief.

On the first day, there were no classes, so the students in the class got acquainted with each other, the teacher talked about the school rules, and then listened to the principal's foaming lecture on the playground for an hour before school was over.

On the way back, Guan Mumu knew that he didn't know it several times, and finally mustered up the courage and asked Guan Yuan with a red face: "Can I go to your house to study in the future?"

Guan Yuan felt that this kid was so cute, "Of course you can, you can go to my house to do your homework." After Guan Mumu heard this, he raised a big smile.

Guan Shi heard the busy shouting: "I'm going too, I'm going too" Guan Yuan kicked him in the ass, "Get out", Guan Mumu looked at the side and covered his mouth and smiled.

Zhao Shenggu smiled and watched them play.

In this way, several people began their study journey, needless to say, Zhao Shenggu was already smart, and with the intention of learning, their learning progress has far exceeded that of the class. Guan Mumu is also very good at learning, that is, Guan Shi, as soon as he picks up the textbook, he is like having lice on his body, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he can't sit still.

When Guan Mumu came to Guan Yuan's house to do his homework, he was like a fart, and he also followed, he didn't dare to provoke Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan, Guan Mumu became his best bully, sometimes throwing a grasshopper at him, sometimes pulling his hair, whenever this happens, Guan Mumu will have red eyes, look at Guan Shi silently, Guan Shi will scratch his head, and stammer: "Okay... Playing φ the window, the window is full of food, the clothes are pretty, the umbrella is protected, the words are blanched, and the words are blanched

Guan Yuan watched it funny from the sidelines, these two people, on the surface, Guan Shi looked like he was dancing with his teeth and claws, but in fact he was eaten to death by Guan Mumu, which can be regarded as one thing and one thing.

When the first semester ended, Guan Yuan, Zhao Shenggu, and Guan Mumu all scored double hundred, and the three tied for the first place in the class, while Guan Shi, Chinese 54, and mathematics 67. After Guan Guo began to hold the test papers, he felt that Guan Shi had passed the math test, and he thought it was good, but Li Ying went to Tunli for a turn, knowing that the four children who were studying in the county town were the most embarrassed in their stone exam, and he went back angrily and rolled up his sleeves at Guan Shi and was about to beat him.

Guan Guo was still holding back at first, but after hearing the reason, the women's singles became a mixed doubles, and for a while the chickens and dogs jumped in the yard, and Guan Shi's voice of crying and calling his mother spread far and wide.

The reason why only a few people who went to school in the county last semester were far away from them, mainly because the people in Guanjiatun were reluctant to pay extra school choice fees, which was a full double of the tuition fee.

Guan Guo helped Zhao Shenggu and them sell braised meat, in view of his diligence and steadfastness, Zhao Shenggu has already raised his salary to 30 yuan a month, and Li Ying not only took care of the fields, but also fed two big fat pigs, and the days slowly lined up in Guanjiatun. Guan Shulin is because of a good hand in wood work, and he receives more and more jobs, so these two families are willing to send their children to the county.

Now seeing that Guan Yuan and their good results in the exam are all due to the good school, many people secretly decided to grit their teeth and send their children to the county to study next year.

Looking at the good results of Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu, Li Yuezhi, who has always been arrogant, couldn't stand it, and made trouble with Guan Mandi, and also sent Guan Taiming to the county.

It's not a bad thing to send a child to school, Guan Manku naturally won't object, but he doesn't have any money in his hand. Now the family's money is in Guan He's hands.

At the instigation of Li Yuezhi, Guan Manku found Guan He and told him that he wanted to send Guan Taiming and them to study in the county. Guan He sat on the kang and was silent after listening to Guan Manku's words, to be honest, he also wanted his own grandson to have a future, especially when Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were prosperous. But isn't it not a lot of money?

"Second child, my father also wants to send the baby in the family to study in the county, but you also know that our family doesn't have much money, and it's the same to go to Zhaojiatun to study, and the school choice fee in the county is expensive."

Guan Manku was anxious: "Dad, how can it be the same, you look at Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu's two rabbit cubs, they went to the county to study and scored double 100 points, then if it goes on like this in the future, the two boys may be able to be admitted to the university as national cadres, Dad, you can swallow this breath, our family is digging in the soil, watching them eat and drink spicy food?" "I have to say that Guan Manku really scratched Guan He's itch, and Guan He listened to the movement on his face.

Guan Manku saw that there was a door, and hurriedly added another fire: "Besides, if one or two of your grandsons are really admitted to college, won't your old face be bright!" ”

Guan He knocked the cigarette on the kang and "Go, go, as long as the family reaches the age of studying, send it to the county"

Guan Manku was a little reluctant, if this was all sent, then what would he have left when the family was separated.

Guan He glanced at him: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, since your baby is gone, the third family must go, otherwise this bowl of water is uneven, and the third child will definitely have some trouble, besides, I think the third family is smarter than the few in your house." ”

Guan Manku had a mouthful of old blood in his throat, if others said this, he would have rolled up his sleeves and beaten people, but this was his father, so he had to give up, but in the end, he still had the most children, and it was not a loss.

So in the second semester, Guan Yuan saw that several children of the Guan family also went to study in the county, and there were a few familiar faces of Guan Jiatun, which made Guan Yuan sigh, this mood of Jackie Chan has not changed at any time.

Now the "Far Valley" butcher shop has become a feature of Yunxian County, Guan Yuan according to the experience of later generations, not only sells braised meat, but also makes air-dried dried meat, which is very suitable to buy as a gift. Whether it is a native of Yunxian County or an outsider, if you want to give a gift, the first thing that comes to mind is the "Far Valley" dried meat.

But Shenggu and Guan Yuan didn't think about increasing production, and now the fixed amount per day is two hundred catties, and there will be no more when they are sold out. So every day, as soon as the store opens, there are already people waiting in line outside.

Guan Guo said to Zhao Shenggu more than once that he should do more. Before noon that day, all the meat was sold, and Sekikoku said to the people who were still waiting in line, "No, let's buy it tomorrow"

When the people in line heard this, they wailed, but fortunately they were all used to it, and they still dispersed after a few complaints. Guan Guo watched the money earned and let it go in vain, as if he was cutting his flesh.

When he used a cart to push the meat back to Guan Yuan's house, Zhao Zhao Shenggu was watching Guan Yuan draw. "Xiaoyuan, your painting is really strange, it's obviously just a few strokes, but people can know at a glance that it's the two of us."

Guan Yuan smiled: "What's this, I'm not good at drawing."

Zhao Shenggu rubbed his head: "It's already good"

Guan Guo didn't bother them, he was no longer surprised by the intimacy of the two brothers, and pushed the meat straight to the backyard, and began to wash the meat well.

The two hundred catties of meat still have to be washed for a while, and when Guan Guo is busy with his work, Zhao Shenggu has already made dinner, and the two of them stay with Guan Guo to eat. Guan Guo was also not polite, smelling the colorful and fragrant food on the table, and gave Zhao Shenggu a thumbs up: "Shenggu, I really convince you, you can make money and cook, whoever marries you in the future will simply smoke from the ancestral tomb."

Zhao Shenggu smiled and didn't answer, Guan Yuan felt uncomfortable when he heard it, but he just ate silently and didn't say anything, just this moment of emotional fluctuations, he was captured by Zhao Shenggu, who was always paying attention to him, "Xiaoyuan, what's wrong, the food is not appetizing?" ”

Guan Yuan shook his head, seeing that Zhao Shenggu cared about him so much, the discomfort in his heart disappeared in an instant: "It's okay, I'm just not hungry"

"Well, then you can drink some soup, this chicken soup is simmered slowly by me over old heat, it's better to drink more"

Guan Guo was amazed, and after eating, Guan Guo brought up the old topic again: "Shenggu, the business of the butcher shop is so good, there are often people who can't buy it, we really can't do more?" ”

Zhao Shenggu smiled bitterly: "Uncle Guan Guo, you don't know, now making two hundred catties a day is already the limit, no matter how much, Xiaoyuan and I can't do it, unless we ask someone to help us do it."

When Guan Guo heard this, he waved his hand frantically: "That's not good, that's not good, you have an exclusive secret recipe, ask someone to do it, in case someone learns it, this business will not be yellow, this is not good!" ”

In fact, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu have plans to open a branch, but they must choose another place, after all, for a Yun County, one store is enough, which is why they do not increase the number.

As for the secret recipe, although the braised pork recipe is rare, it is not that no one can't figure it out, and the reason why it is so delicious is because the spiritual spring water accounts for most of the reasons.

So even if they ask someone to do it, as long as they master the marinade recipe, they are not afraid, and even if someone studies the recipe thoroughly, not everyone has the spiritual spring water.

Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan are preparing to go to Linxian to have a look, if possible, the city can do it first, after all, they are not too far from the city, and it won't take long to take a car.

Guan Guo listened to their plan and was stunned, this is going to be opened to the city? He didn't know where the courage of these two little babies came from, but he knew that he was far from being able to compare, since Zhao Shenggu and they had other plans, he didn't say more, but when he walked out of the yard, his heart was indescribably complicated, to put it bluntly, Zhao Shenggu is now his boss, the boss has the courage and ability, and the following naturally eats meat, but when he thinks that these are still two children, he feels that he has lived in vain for more than thirty years, hey, no wonder the mother-in-law scolded him for being stupid, compared to these two children, isn't he stupid. After this incident, Guan Guo became stricter with Guan Shi, and Guan Shi ran away from home once.

When the autumn was received, the school had the autumn harvest holiday, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan got three acres when they divided the land, and they planted some lazy crops, and they put it away quickly.

Yunxian County has just opened a train to the city, Zhao Shenggu originally planned to buy a sleeper, but to buy a sleeper, you must have a letter of introduction, and if you are a cadre, you have to buy two tickets.

The current train is the old-fashioned green train, as soon as it runs, it clatters, and the speed is slow, and as soon as he enters the carriage, Guan Yuan feels depressed. Zhao Shenggu carefully escorted Guan Yuan in the bustling aisle and walked towards his seat.

But everything was not too smooth today, and on the train, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu got angry again.

When Zhao Shenggu escorted Guan Yuan to their seats, he found that their seats were occupied by others, and Zhao Shenggu carefully looked at the tickets again and found that he was not mistaken.

Occupying their place was a middle-aged woman with a child, Zhao Shenggu originally wanted to let this woman get up and sit for Xiaoyuan, and his place would be given to the child.

"Auntie, this position is ours, do you think it's okay to let it?" Zhao Shenggu's tone was quite gentle.

Who knew that the woman listened to Zhao Shenggu's words, but immediately exclaimed: "What, you call me aunt, am I that old, are you deliberately insulting people?"

Zhao Shenggu took a deep breath: "Eldest sister, you occupy our place, please let the woman roll her eyes, "Whoever sits is who's"

Zhao Shenggu was laughed at by her, Guan Yuan was smoked by the smell of the car, and he was already uncomfortable, this woman provoked him: "Auntie, you have taken someone else's place and it makes sense, get out!" The people next to him also echoed: "It's just that it's so reasonable to occupy someone else's position, it's really rare."

"Hey, how can you talk like a child, why are you so uneducated" The woman heard Guan Yuan call her aunt, and her nose was crooked in anger.

"Who you say doesn't have a tutor?" Zhao Shenggu's whole face turned cold, staring at the woman and saying coldly, the woman was looked at by the tall Zhao Shenggu like this, and somehow became timid.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense with her, find a flight attendant and see if she lets you go" Guan Yuan ran out of patience.

"What are you doing, what are you arguing about, what are you arguing about" Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the people around told the flight attendant about the situation, and the flight attendant took the woman away.

Guan Yuan sat in his seat, buried his face in Zhao Shenggu's arms, smelled his breath, and felt better.
