Chapter 3: Rush to the scene

Since Ye Yiyi was in the fifth grade of primary school, her weight and body are stronger than Ye Luwei, and the two siblings do farm work, often the younger sister who is nearly four years younger does heavy work, and the tall and thin manly brother can only do it.

Ye Luwei returned to the old place for the first time, forgetting that he was no longer a Tibetan man who was tortured by the wind and rain in the wild twenty years later, Ye Yiyi knew that he couldn't lift it, but he deliberately filled the bucket to make this brother who had slept for almost a month make a fool of himself.

"Stupid, do you want to wear a shirt? Wait a minute, brother, take you to the town to do a business, and promise to earn money for a piece of clothing. "Ye Yiyi has a very attractive nickname, not called Yiyi, but dumb. It is said that my grandfather took it, because he didn't cry much when he was born, and he was stupid.

"Lazy pig Lu Lu'er, you are not allowed to call me by my nickname."

Lu Lu'er's correct way to write it is "green green er", which is pronounced as Lu Lu'er (erhua pronunciation) in Shuchuan dialect, which is a local name for green scarabs.

When Ye Luwei was born in early winter, the reed flowers by the river were gray and white, and the wind was blowing all over the sky, and it was very autumn painting style, so the nickname was called Reed, and the name was changed to a word when he was officially studying, and it was more written to mean it. But the relatives and friends who are familiar with each other, everyone is called Lu Luer, Ye Luwei can't prevent the population, so he has to admit it. It's better than a little achievement in the work later, and everyone respectfully calls it Viagra.

After a few words with the little sister and successfully diverting her attention, Ye Luwei picked up the breakfast on the stove and started eating. Ye Yiyi heard the pig crying after eating, so she had to scold "You are a plague and eat meat sooner or later", while holding the pig food in both hands and squeezing Ye Luwei who opened the door to feed.

Ye Luwei finished eating the red porridge in two bites, threw the bowl into the pig pot and went to find his mother. My mother's name is Man Hongyu, and she was born in a big landlord family, because her maternal great-grandfather was the biggest landlord in the town!

Man Hongyu graduated from high school just in time to be admitted to college without good grades, so she became a lamentable victim of that generation, and it was the most unjust kind of victim - she was not allowed to go to college if she was not qualified.

Man Hongyu's grandfather, before liberation, was just a very good stonemason, relying on a good carving skill, mainly carved tombstones for the filial son and grandson, and earned a lot of money.

Before the liberation, the land of the tile people was basically impossible to buy with money, because very few people sold it. Selling Yetian's land was a crime of unfilial piety that could be suffocated by the family at that time.

At that time, when the People's Liberation Army was crossing the river, there was an officer's family in the town who wanted to follow him to Taiwan, and he hurriedly disposed of all the land at half price. Old Man Man was one of the most powerful bidders at that time, and he bought the largest piece of land by carving several tombstones for the officer's family, and borrowed a lot of money from all his relatives for this purpose.

Everyone knows what happened later, liberation. The old man didn't receive a year's rent of grain, so he was beaten into the biggest landlord in the town, and he jumped into Stonemason Bay without knowing how to do it, and fell to his death on his unfinished tombstone group.

It's a sad story.

Stonemason Bay is also a sad place, where at least five or more people died only that Ye Luwei had heard of. This cliff, which has been artificially excavated for many years, is nearly 100 meters wide and nearly 50 meters high, and is covered with tombstones that have not yet been engraved with the names of the deceased.

The big girls and brothers-in-law in the neighborhood, the infatuated men and women, the good men and the believing women, the red men and green women, the lonely men and widows, all who felt that they had been wronged and couldn't survive, all came here to jump off the cliff and engrave their bright red names on the tombstones below. Over the years, the light stone cliffs that have no grass grow, the four seasons are cloudy and windy, and it is cold to the heart when you pass by.

However, when Ye Luwei heard Man Hongyu talk about himself when he was a child, he was full of the pride of his ancestor who bought the whole town with a pair of hands carved tombstones, and he didn't see much sadness.

Man Hongyu's father, Ye Luwei's grandfather, because he was a rare radio technical talent at that time, not only supported his two sons and two daughters, but also adopted a pair of children of his cousin and raised them as adults. My grandfather's cousin left his wife and children behind because he was in a military school, and followed the leader to Taiwan.

Therefore, Ye Luwei has a total of three uncles and aunts, as well as two grandmothers (one maternal grandmother and one maternal grandmother). The youngest uncle, who is only ten years older than Ye Lu, is now running an oil mill in the town and working as a second-rate pig dealer to collect piglets.

Ye Luwei wanted to find his mother to cheat some start-up funds, and use the summer silkworm acquisition season to engage in some speculation. Man Hongyu graduated from high school and taught private primary schools for a few years, and after marrying Ye Jianguo, she didn't go to school again, and became a highly educated peasant woman at that time.

The Ye family relies on the income of planting mulberry and silkworms and feeding pigs every year to support the annual expenses, and they can basically have food and clothing. At that time, Ye Jianguo's salary was only enough for him to be chic, basically he came back every year for vacation and used the remaining money to buy some candy and send some national food stamps to several elderly people. Of course, now that the salary has risen a little, Man Hongyu should have a few hundred thousand yuan of surplus money in his hand.

Man Hongyu has always regarded herself as an intellectual, basically a very reasonable rural woman, and now she is also an accountant in the village, and she has more of a cadre temperament. Therefore, Ye Luwei is ninety percent sure that he can borrow one hundred and eighty yuan from his mother.

Sure enough, Ye Luwei organized an all-round analysis of the project he was going to operate with the skills of many years of consultants, and Man Hongyu directly took out the passbook, and without saying a word, he pulled Ye Luwei to the town to withdraw money.

Leaving the stupid sister sad at home alone, taking care of chickens, pigs, ducks, fish, cats, dogs, rabbits, silkworms...... Oh, except for Mo Youyu, the Ye family has everything else. The poor stupid sister was just thirteen years old, and there was no other way than to jump up and threaten Ye Luwei that if she didn't buy her a shirt, she would only eat pigs.

Ye Luwei rode the family's 28 permanent, pulled on a full red jade with new clothes when he went out, and ran all the way to the town. A total of three kilometers of national highway, Ye Luwei's mother and son basically took two hours to arrive.

For the sake of this unusually slow rush process, Ye Luwei had resisted for many years in his last life without success. Man Hongyu was born and grew up in Si, and knew more than 20,000 of the more than 50,000 people in the town. Who is the daughter-in-law of whom's family, whose second child married whom, whose second aunt, and so on. It's basically equivalent to the living household register of the whole town.

Ye Luwei is the most proud achievement of Man Hongyu in this life, from the beginning of going out, Man Hongyu will stop and say a few words when he meets people, and he has to hear people ask exaggeratedly: "Yo, this door is high and that door is Lu Lu'er?" Grown so big? Where do you go to school? ”

So Man Hongyu modestly replied: "Oh, it's just that you only grow tall and don't grow meat, and you eat a lot." After the New Year, he became an eighteen-year-old (person), graduated and joined the work last month, and he didn't want to go because he didn't think the job was good. Look, one day his old man comes back and beats it up. ”

In this way, you can walk down the town in two hours, with an average speed of up to 1.5 kilometers per hour. A lot of people who went to the town to run errands have returned, and Man Hongyu can still pull people to talk about it again.

In the previous life, Ye Luwei hated going to the town with his mother very much, and Man Hongyu insisted that he ride a bicycle to get up, and the two mothers and sons often talked at home for an hour about whether to go or not.

In this life, Ye Luwei saw his young and neat mother again, and he was only moved and attached in his heart, completely relying on his mother's temperament, pretending to be too shy to be a water lotus throughout the whole process, and letting his mother pull him to show off.

Pretending to be tender is actually difficult at the beginning of everything, and the pressure of pretending to be in front of my mother is much less. Ye Luwei threw away the goosebumps in half an hour and put on a seventeen-year-old sunny heart.

I finally got to town, and it was almost eleven o'clock. Twenty years later, the "first block" and "block" are fart, and the town in this era is called a real block.

The town, which has not yet begun to be modernized, has only two streets, one on the river and one on the river. This is because Ye Luwei's house, a small town called Longguang, is an important water wharf on the Jialing River, so there are only two streets. Many other towns have only one street, and the name is "On the Street".

In this era, it's not the cars that are blocked, it's the people! Two whole streets of people! In later generations, how crowded the subway and bus were in the morning and evening rush hours, how crowded the streets of this era were.

The rural credit cooperatives are in the most "prosperous" area of Shanghe Street, and they are even more crowded. Note that "water" is not an adjective here, but a narrative sentence. Ye Luwei often came to play this game with his friends in the village when he was bored during the holidays in his last life. It's just that when it rains, you can squeeze into the crowd, and the street is crowded, except for the head and shoulders, other places can not be wet!

Ye Luwei is actually very strange about such a crowded riverside town, how those who came by boat squeezed ashore and were not squeezed down the river and drowned. Facts have proved that before the modernization and reconstruction of Longguang Town, very few people drowned every year, but after the reconstruction, it was common to hear rumors such as the boat capsized in a certain village.

In the previous life, Ye Luwei would not accompany his mother to squeeze into the street except for "squeezing oil residue" (a game of squeezing each other) with his friends. Generally, they are at the billiard stalls outside the town and wait for Man Hongyu to come out after finishing his errands.

In this life, I looked at the heads of the streets, although I was also very frightened, but I didn't want my mother to squeeze alone. So I tried to protect my mother and follow the crowd all the way to "swim" into Shanghe Street, and then saw the opportunity to "swim out" of the river and squeeze into the rural credit cooperative.

Not surprisingly, the credit union is also packed, and there is no queue in this era, and it is all about body and technology to withdraw money. If you come late, people will get off work after withdrawing cash, and they will not dump you with any "free access" at all.

What the? Where does the money come from? I came back from a part-time job.

In addition to the Shudu Plain, Shuchuan is far from the country of abundance, and it is so poor that it only has labor, so it is a large province of part-time work, which is all blood and tears.

In the most awesome year of Longguang Town, the banner of the town government for the New Year was "Warm congratulations on the remittance of part-time work income exceeding 200000000 yuan this year!" "In a town with a total population of less than 60,000 people, more than 200 million yuan is remitted from part-time work a year!
