This blacksmith shop is located at the southernmost end of the side street, and there are only two small facades. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The stove of the blacksmith shop is burning very strongly, and the tongue of fire is constantly licking~ licking the objects in the stove.

Next to the large bellows, which is more than half a person high, a young man struggles to pull the bellows back and forth with his hands.

Another man took a piece of reddish iron from the furnace and put it on the iron pier where the iron was struck, and two strong young men beside him, shirtless, took turns to pick up the sledgehammer and pound it with precision.

As the man in charge of the iron kept turning, the iron piece gradually took shape like dough.

"What do you want to do?" An old voice came from a shadow in the room.

Xi'er was taken aback.

I found that in the blacksmith shop, there was an old man sitting against the wall, holding a smoking gun, and only a spark flickered in the darkness.

followed his grandfather to the stove, only to see the cold face that was red by the fire and weathered.

The old man looked to be in his 60s, and he was as cold as the iron pier.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, so I'll bring the farm tools over and repair them." Old Man Tian is very calm, it seems that this is not the first time to deal with him.

"Put it there, a handful of five dimes, and get it in three days." After saying that, the whole person retracted into the shadows again, leaving only a little spark that flickered and flickered.

The other three guys were still focused, focused on their hands, like beads of sweat rolling down their tendons, persistent and lonely.

Old Man Tian took out a checkered handkerchief from his arms, with a small stack of scattered banknotes in it, counted out three, and handed it to the old man.

This is not the first time Xi'er has seen money in this era, I remember being naughty when I was a child, I took out a few banknotes from my grandfather's photo album, and asked my father curiously if I could buy candy to eat.

After being known by his grandfather, he pinched his face lovingly, just like Old Man Tian likes to pinch his ears.

"Silly Xi'er, this money can buy a lot of sugar in Grandpa's time, and eat until all your little teeth are gone." After laughing, he also held himself in his arms and told himself one by one.

You see, this is a dime, you can buy a pound of vinegar, and the picture of "combining education and production and labor" is painted on it, symbolizing the reform of culture and education at the beginning. After saying that, he also took a note and pasted it under the money.

"It's two dimes, and Xi'er can buy four big hawthorn balls. This bridge is the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, symbolizing the new achievements of socialist construction. ”

When Xi'er heard that she could buy so many hawthorn balls, her saliva was about to be set aside, and she asked hard if it was true?

It made the family laugh.

Grandpa turned another page and explained: "This is a penny, and the workers in it are spinning, symbolizing the beginning of the development of light industry in the country." ”

Xi'er doesn't understand what light industry is.

Dad took the note from his grandfather's hand and began to slowly tell his ignorant self about a magical era.

I can still remember it very clearly until now, because every time the whole family talks about that era, there will be a deep sadness on their faces that cannot be dissolved.

I don't understand why I am unhappy when I can buy a lot of hawthorns!

Therefore, this question has existed in my heart for many, many years.

It wasn't until I started reading and reading that I secretly learned the answer from the diary in my grandfather's bookcase.

Even if you don't look at it, Xi'er knows the third set of yuan, and the front of the one yuan is a picture of a lathe worker, symbolizing the dominance of industry.

On the front of Wu Yuan is a figure of a steelworker, symbolizing the industry's focus on steel.

On the front of Shiyuan is the picture of "people's representatives stepping out of the Great Hall", which symbolizes the people being the masters of the country and uniting, commonly known as "great unity". It is also the largest denomination of money in this era.

I don't know why today, Xi'er especially misses her family, and misses her father who always likes to prick herself with his beard and scream, even though she has gone to college.

And my mother supports herself unconditionally, even if she boiled sweet and sour pork ribs into black charcoal for the first time, she still gave a thumbs up and praised herself for being a baby!

There is also the grandfather who forced himself to practice calligraphy every day and memorized the "Book of Songs" and "Analects", the regrets that could not be made up in his previous life, is there still a chance after being reborn?

"Xi'er, let's go, grandpa will buy you hawthorn pills to eat."

Before Old Man Tian's words fell, Xi'er's tears were like the Yellow River that had burst its embankment, and it was out of control.

The old man was so frightened that he was at a loss, and finally hugged him in his arms, and kept patting Xi'er's back, like coaxing a baby, just singing nursery rhymes.

After the emotions were vented, Xi'er also felt ashamed.

"The little girl is just squeamish, but it's much more intimate than the kid." The cold old man in the blacksmith shop stood by the door and sighed with circles in his eyes.

I was just about to get out of my grandfather's arms, but it turned out to be even more embarrassing.

"Our family Xi'er is very well-behaved, and she is only eight years old, and she has already taken care of the house, maybe she is tired of walking today......" Old Man Tian simply hugged Xi'er and sat on the steps of the blacksmith shop.

"Come in and sit down for a while and have a drink." The old man Yan Ji knocked his cigarette gun on the door frame and invited.

The old man was not polite, and carried her directly into the house.

Xi'er cried so much just now that she was very tired in her heart, and she estimated that she was tired of walking in the morning.

It's just that I walk with weak legs and feet, let alone an eight or nine-year-old girl.

I was frightened like that two days ago, and when I think of this, I can't help but complain that I am not thoughtful.

It turns out that this blacksmith shop also has a room, which is probably the usual place for the old man Yan Ji to rest.

The old man was handed a large porcelain jar with hot water inside.

"Grandpa finishes drinking, I'll drink again." Xi'er held the water tank in her little hand and handed it to her grandfather's mouth.

Then slowly slipped out of his grandfather's arms, all of them were in their twenties, why were they so squeamish?

Is it really because you are too tired?

Xi'er knows that she is homesick, and she misses it very much!

Just when he was at his lowest mood, Old Man Tian's hawthorn pill directly exploded the anxiety and fear of the past few days.

It is precisely because I know this era too well that I live in fear every day.

But in addition to being homesick, I want to live more, because only by living can I see my family again.

There is also the secret of space, although it is a weapon for cheating, but it is always worried about not being discovered, and if you are not careful, it will cause a big disaster.

The father and son of the Zhang family have only just met, and although they live together every day, they are still vigilant in their hearts.

After reading Grandpa's diary, even if it is the best brother, in order to fill his stomach, no matter what feelings and blood ties, he has to stand aside.

Xi'er's deep fear is that the world will change the trajectory of her grandfather's life because of the arrival of her little butterfly?

Can you wait for yourself without accidents?

One worry after another, like the explosives that are constantly accumulating, weighs heavily on Xi'er's heart.

I have to admit that Xi'er is already strong, a delicate woman in the twenty-first century, suddenly faced with such a predicament, and has persevered until now, only to reveal some emotions a little.

(Cat: Comrade Xi'er is a strong drop and a worthy of praise!) ）

(Xi'er: Then can you stop setting up those cheating plots?) Make my life easier, okay? ）

(The cat laughed: Hey, everything is according to the needs of the reader, come on!) ）

(Xi'er roared angrily: Author-kun, you are a pit, a huge pit!) ）

（…… Xi'er's roar kept echoing overhead, and she couldn't wait for the cat's response. ）

After thanking the old man Yan Ji for his enthusiasm, Xi'er regained her emotions and showed a sweet smile again in the old man's worries.

The big shining eyes teased the grandfather in a blink of an eye, and the old man's face finally turned cloudy and clear.

"Let's go, grandpa said buy me candy." The small hand holds the big hand, and it never lets go......

"Meow~Meow~" On the counter of the grocery store, there is a lazy little flower cat!

Cat Niuer said

If the cat wants to challenge the rookie list, will everyone support it?
