Chapter 5: Poor Grandson vs. Rich Grandson
New Sangzhuang, Xinjian Lane, Middle Alley.
Ye Rong and the three stopped in front of the two highest houses in the alley.
On the right side of the cement road is a duplex small three-story Western-style villa, and on the left is a standard rural three-story mansion, which is one of the best two luxury houses in the village.
Among them, the three-story Western-style villa is the first in the village in terms of aesthetics.
Another standard rural building, the three-story mansion, is the largest in the village.
"This is my home!"
Ye Yu pointed to the three-story Western-style villa and introduced to Ye Rong, "Strange uncle, do you want to come to my house to sit?" ”
Before Ye Rong could answer, Ye Yanwu stopped Ye Rong and refused for him: "Granddaughter, go back to your house, I'll take him to your second father's house." ”
"It's good ......"
Ye Yu was a little worried, she still thought that Ye Rong had bad intentions and was worried that her grandfather would suffer, but when she thought that her second father was also at home, and that there was a big wolf dog in her second father's house, she should not let him succeed, so she was relieved.
Then, Ye Yu handed the peppercorns cut from the pepper tree to his grandfather and said, "Give these peppercorns to my second father, my family doesn't want these." Then, Ye Yu entered the Western-style villa, and through the open door, Ye Rong also saw a luxury white car.
After that, Ye Rong was taken forward by Ye Yanwu......
While moving forward, Ye Rong asked puzzledly: "Why don't you go to Ye Yu's house?" ”
"The time is not up."
Ye Yanwu explained slightly, "Don't I have two sons!" Now it's a two-way run...... Hey, I'm also old, my wife got a bad disease a few years ago and passed away, and now I take turns eating at my two sons' houses. takes turns every month, and this month it is the turn of the second son Ye Fu's family. ”
"That's ......" Ye Rong said that he understood, Ye Yanwu also had time for his son to do his filial piety, and it was appropriate to take turns eating at the two sons' houses.
Subsequently, Ye Rong praised again: "Your eldest son Ye Guang seems to have earned a lot of money and built such a beautiful small western-style building. "Ye Guang can also be regarded as Ye Rong's grandchild, the Ye family can have this kind of grandson who has made a lot of money, Ye Rong is also very happy.
"yes!"
Ye Yanwu nodded, "Ye Guang was in the self-defense counterattack in Vietnam back then, he belonged to the troops participating in the war, he had seen the world, and he had a combat subsidy after he came back, so he was the first to be richer in the village and the first to make a fortune." At that time, he contracted 300 acres of mountainous land in the back mountains, which were originally barren land, and the harvest was not good, so he could not make a lot of money, so the original contract price was very low. But later, who would have thought that the national policy of 'returning farmland to forests' was released, and all 300 acres of mountainous land were recycled by the state, and farmland was returned to forests, and a lot of money was subsidized. Right now, 300 acres of mountainous land every year, without a drop of sweat and hard work, just lying in bed the state will subsidize more than 100,000 yuan a year, such a way to make money I don't know how many others envy! It was also fortunate that I encountered a change in national policy and became the only lucky one......"
"Hmm."
Ye Rong nodded secretly, it is indeed running from time to time, which is enviable.
But Ye Rong felt that this kind of luck should be there, when Ye Guang went to be a soldier, he encountered the Vietnamese self-defense counterattack, and the recruits became the participating troops in a year, and this kind of recruit was probably scared enough to go to the battlefield, and it was a miracle to survive! It is not difficult to imagine that in the mouth of the villagers, if you go to be a soldier and encounter war, it will definitely be eight lifetimes of blood mold, and it is time for him to operate!
Ye Rong asked again: "The third-floor mansion opposite, I think he is the largest in the whole village, whose house is that?" ”
"Wei Jia!"
Ye Yanwu suddenly said indignantly: "Our Ye family and the Wei family have enmity, but today's people have long forgotten their hatred, my father was killed by Wei Huzi back then." Although he was later rehabilitated and Wei Huzi was duly punished, I just couldn't swallow this breath! Of course, the country doesn't allow fights and brawls, hey......"
After a sigh, Ye Yanwu continued: "I have to say that the Wei family is also quite powerful and somewhat prescient. The Wei family has been engaged in the breeding industry, raising cattle and sheep in those days. Later, in order to protect the ecology, the country banned slopes, mountains, and grazing, the cost of captivity was too high, and the income was reduced, so the strategy was changed, and pigs, chickens, and fish were raised. Now the four big fish ponds at the bottom of the ditch in front of the door are the property of the Wei family. The Wei family did make a lot of money and was one of the largest households in the village, so they also built the largest house in the village. ”
“……”
Ye Rong was silent......
Defend the family! It's also developed!!
The feud between the Ye family and the Wei family, the two families of the new generation, basically forgot about it, and they didn't fight anymore, and even the houses were built door to door and became neighbors.
But in Ye Yanwu's heart, after all, he was killed by Wei Huzi, so he still has hatred, but he is in a harmonious society, he can't fight, let alone kill, he hasn't experienced a war-torn society and doesn't dare to kill, so he endured it.
And in Ye Rong's heart, there is even more blood hatred! Parents died at the hands of the Wei family, and brothers died at the hands of the Wei family......
Full of hatred, blood debt and blood repayment!
But...... Then again, the revenge of his parents was avenged in 1945, Ye Rong and Ye Ma brothers almost killed the entire Ye family, and almost wiped him out, except for Wei Huzi, who hid under the bed and watched the bloodshed of the whole audience, escaped.
And the revenge of his brother Ye Ma, Ye Rong can't revenge it, because Wei Huzi is dead, and it is said that he was also punished later......
Ye Rong is still principled, and he will not harm his children and grandchildren, but also others.
Back then, Ye Rong only killed Lao Weitou, and the rest of the family of six were all killed by his younger brother Ye Ma, including women and children...... The cruelty of his younger brother, Ye Rong, who was also criticized as an elder brother, only hated that he couldn't listen to him, and his younger brother suffered a lot later, first disabled, and then died tragically......
Ye Rong didn't believe that this was the retribution of heaven in the dark, but at this time, he could only have no hatred, and his hatred was accumulated in his chest, and there was nowhere to vent it, but the enemy was already dead.
Ye Rong turned his head, glanced at the Wei family's mansion coldly, and said in his heart: You'd better not mess with me, otherwise, new hatred and old hatred, settle it together! If you don't see red, don't stop!
……
Continue along Xinjian Lane until the end.
Turn right, second home.
House number: No. 004, Xinjian Lane.
"It's home."
Ye Yanwu pointed to a low bungalow, "That's it, my second son Ye Fu's family." ”
Ye Rong looked around and observed this low bungalow, the house was old, it was estimated that it was at least 15 years old, and it was all old houses built in the last century. The big iron gate was rusty, and the courtyard walls were covered with moss...... This kind of house, in the new countryside, belongs to the bottom of the old house.
When you open the courtyard gate, the first thing you see is a farm tricycle, placed under the old gatehouse.
Then, directly opposite the door, there is a statue of the Lord of the Earth.
The yard is quite tidy, and the peppercorns that have been dried purple and black are dried on the concrete floor. To the east of the courtyard is a vegetable garden with cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, peppers, green onions, leeks, and other miscellaneous vegetables. There is a small orchard in the south of the courtyard, in which there is an apple tree, a pear tree, and a pomegranate tree, and these trees are still entwined with vines, and now they are bearing fruit, and the grapes are ripe purple and black.
Ye Rong swallowed calmly, a little eager to eat......
I have never seen such a thing during the Anti-Japanese War!
Although this family house is a little old, at the bottom of the village, and looks a little poor, the Ye Guang and Ye Fu brothers are Ye Rong's grandchildren, one is a rich grandson, and the other is a poor grandson.
But even if he is poor like this, for Ye Rong, who has just crossed over from a poorer era, it is already quite good!
It's really good!
First of all, with the agricultural tricycle, the beautiful socialist fantasy of "ploughing the land without oxen" has been realized. On the walls of the courtyard, wires are pulled, and the basic life of "lighting lamps without oil" has also been realized. "Walking apples to the nose" can also be achieved, as long as you walk into the orchard......
It's done!
After the liberation of the People's Republic of China, in the early days of the founding of New China, the socialist future vision of urgently changing the backward situation was basically realized in the deep mountains and rural areas! Those counties, towns, and cities must have all been realized!
Ye Rong can witness such a world with his own eyes, and he really feels that the life-and-death battle of the bloody battlefield, the fight against the Japanese and the liberation of China, those comrades-in-arms around him, the price of bloodshed and sacrifice is not in vain! It was they, Ye Rong, who laid the foundation for this country and laid the initial foundation for peace for today's development!
If those sacrificed comrades-in-arms can see such a modern new China, they will definitely be gratified, proud, shocked, and even die without regrets!
Ye Rong looked up at the sky, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, breathing in the air of the new era, and he was very excited.
He, for those dead comrades-in-arms, saw the dreamy future of New China for which he had fought and shed blood......
He wants to know more about this new world!
I want to try those strange things myself...... For example, the agricultural tricycle at the door, Ye Rong wanted to drive, what is it like to drive......
……
"Wow! Woo Woo ----"
A big wolf dog, which was slow to react half a beat, seemed to have finally sensed something, and suddenly rushed out from the shade of the orchard and barked at Ye Rong.
This dog is very old, isn't it? The response is so slow! Or is Ye Rong's military quality, his steps are too light?
After being scolded by Ye Yanwu for a while, the wolf dog finally stopped barking, and then a petite rural woman walked out of the house, probably because the dog barked to remind a stranger that there was a stranger in the yard, so she came out to watch, and she was still holding the vegetables that were being washed in her hand.
"Dad, you're back? The peppercorns are poured in the yard to dry, and I will clean them up in the afternoon. ”
The rural woman is about 50 years old, or it may be that the rural people are too hardworking and old, and she feels that she is a very simple, hard-working, and very strong woman, she saw Ye Rong and said in surprise, "No wonder the dog barks, is this ......?" ”
"Oh!" Ye Yanwu introduced, "It's a ......"
After experiencing the ridicule of the villagers before, Ye Yanwu also felt that Ye Rong's identity as a writer was untrue and he felt like a homeless man, so he should not introduce such a lofty profession, so as not to be suspected.
Ye Yanwu said: "I helped cut peppercorns for a while in the morning, which can be regarded as a short-term job, so I care about his meal." ”
"That's ......"
The rural woman glanced at the peppercorns brought back by Ye Yanwu, it was indeed not the amount that one person could pick in the morning, it was someone who helped, and immediately warmly entertained: "Young man, you sit, I'm cooking, it'll be fine in a while." ”
"You're busy, you don't have to entertain me." Ye Rong knew that this rural woman was probably Ye Fu's daughter-in-law, and she could be regarded as her granddaughter-in-law.
"There are grapes in the yard, you can pick them and eat them yourself, you're welcome." The women were hospitable.
"Then you're welcome."
Ye Rong is trying to eat it......
Although there is discipline and does not take a stitch from the masses, this is not the masses, it is a relative, it is a junior, and it will not violate discipline!
So I was not ashamed and ate like no one else!
"Hmm, it's very sweet, it's delicious...... "The mouth is stuffed with grapes without spitting out the grape skin, and I don't forget to praise two sentences, and then the more I eat, the more I can't stop.
Watching him eat more and more, the eyes of the people next to him gradually became strange! Who are these people? I really don't treat myself as an outsider!
