Chapter 002 Hello, 1978

In his previous life, the Yang family developed ahead of Yang Xia, because he became a teacher in a junior college in 1986, but Yang Xia was reserved and arrogant because of the "dung of the ten thousand households", and in 1990, he did not save a few money, but had to send his grandfather, who was seriously ill, to Chiquan Town Hospital for treatment, and even the county hospital did not dare to send it, which caused the grandfather's condition to be delayed, and finally died on the bed of the town hospital.

After a year, the sad grandmother also went with the grandfather, and the Yang family suddenly seemed to have lost their souls. When my grandfather died, I was 85 years old, which can be regarded as a long life, but in terms of my grandfather's physical state, he can live to be more than 100 years old.

This incident had a very big impact on the Yang family, and from about that time, the people of the Yang family in their hometown began to learn to do business to make money, and by the 21st century, there were also several millionaires, but for the deceased, no matter how much money there was, what was the use.

Now that we have been reborn, we must not let such a tragedy happen.

The Yang family in 1978, like all the peasants in China, was very poor. But slightly different from others, the Yang family is very good at making food, even if there is nothing to cook, they can make a big table.

Yang Xia's mother, Hu Yueqin, is a master of making food in the village. Yang Xia's father, Yang Guangyao, went to Wuxian Temple Street at most to cut a pound of meat, which was only enough for one person to eat in this era, but Yang Xia's mother made three meat dishes: shredded green pepper pork, mask back to the pot, and cucumber ball soup.

In addition, there are several vegetarian dishes on the table: roasted pepper eggplant, white oil loofah, spicy cold noodles, and stir-fried cowpeas, of which there are two plates of spicy cold noodles and stir-fried cowpeas, so the whole table is full.

Every time the family eats well, that is, a formal meal, the father has to say a few words. Even if Yang Xia has become the "name" of Nanshu Province in later generations, every time he goes home, he must accept his father's "education".

As an undergraduate student who graduated from the Department of Political Science of Nanshu Normal University, he has his own pride, so what Dad Yang said was his, and whether Yang Xia listened or not was his own. However, after Yang Xia turned 45 years old, he suddenly understood Daddy Yang's hard work, and even understood Daddy Yang's "greatness". In Yang Xia's view, in a certain sense, Yang Dad's life realm and freedom far exceed Yang Xia, a college student.

Seriously, Daddy Yang is also a cultural person. At the time of liberation, Father Yang was just 17 years old and had just graduated from the National Wucheng Primary School. Originally, Yang Dad could have studied in National Wucheng Middle School, but after liberation and a change in the sky, Yang Dad naturally lost the opportunity to further his education, so he had to go home honestly to be a farmer.

A small number of Yang Da's classmates also went to junior high school and later became prosperous, but most of those were the children of urban craftsmen or small merchants, and the children of landlords and rich peasants were all excluded from culture.

Father Yang can write well with a brush and can memorize ancient books such as "Analects" and "Tao Te Ching". Yang Xia later also practiced calligraphy, and was invited by the Shudu Calligraphers Association several times, but thinking that Yang Dad had a better calligraphy than himself, he did not join any association, and finally Yang Xia did not dare to take the book of the "calligrapher" home.

In the time when he "knew the destiny of heaven", he had completely understood the greatness of Father Yang. Father Yang raised four children, all of whom had good character (suspected of self-exaltation), and he had never quarreled with anyone for power and profit in his life, even if he sold a basket and sieve in Chiquan Town, the price shouted was extremely pertinent, as long as the buyer still had the right price, he would sell it. If the price can't be negotiated, he won't be angry, and if he can't sell all the things in town, he will carry them back before dark.

Father Yang is very frugal, no matter whether he has money or not, he never eats and drinks on the street, and he doesn't even drink a cup of tea for 2 cents. Even if you have the money to buy good food, you can take it home and enjoy it together as a family in the evening.

At this meal, Dad Yang only said one sentence for the first time, "Xia Er was admitted to Chiquan High School, which can be regarded as the first time in the village, and special dishes are added to congratulate me, please use chopsticks for my father-"

When eating at the table, the elderly must move the chopsticks first, or the respected person must move the chopsticks first.

Yang Xia also picked up the dishes with her sister and younger brother, and after tasting a piece of back pot meat, Yang Xia at the dinner table only stretched her chopsticks into the fried cowpeas and other vegetarian dishes, as for the meat dishes, let the family eat more, even if Yang Xia knows that he is also very thin, he also needs nutrition.

After the whole table started, Yang Xia didn't speak again, fortunately, Yang Xia in his previous life was also an introverted child, which made Yang Dad and the others completely unaware that this Yang Xia was no longer Yang Xia.

Yang Xia's language became "elegant and atmospheric", which was something after being admitted to the university, of course, between college classmates, the conversation could only be said to be "intense". His eloquence was really practiced in the years of junior college.

Teaching is a good profession, and being a journalist is also a good profession, but Yang Xia, who was reborn, will not go back to the old path.

"Yang Xia, the production team picks mung beans in the afternoon, you can go too." After the meal, Yang Guangyao arranged Yang Xia's life.

"Dad, can I not go?" Yang Xia asked weakly.

"You're not in high school yet, so you don't want to work?" Father Yang glared, this kid won't forget his roots so soon.

"Dad, no. My eyes are weak in color, and I can't tell the difference between red and green things clearly. I remember that when the production team picked mung beans last year, others were 20 catties in an afternoon, and I could only pick 5 catties, not because I was stupid, because I couldn't tell which dry mung beans needed to be picked, and which raw mung beans needed to continue to grow on the pole. ”

What Yang Xia said was true, he was weak in his previous life, but it was not found in high school, but in a physical examination before going to college. Fortunately, although he was also good at science in his previous life, during the two-year tutoring period, he changed to liberal arts, otherwise, just the color weakness would limit Yang Xia to a few majors.

"Xia Er doesn't want to go, so don't go, he's telling the truth, what's more, picking mung beans can't earn much work." Mother-in-law Hu Yueqin said.

The long-lost terms of production team, collective labor, and earning a share of labor represent an era, an era of poverty and simplicity. And this summer, it seems impossible for Yang Xia to completely escape the labor of the production team.

When the elder sister Yang Chun washed the dishes, the whole family went out to work, and the grandfather and grandmother also returned to the uncle's house. Yang Xia sat alone in the bamboo forest in front of the house, observing the summer of 1978.

On a large scale, 1978 was really a good year, and Deng Weiren made several heavy blows in a row, such as the discussion on the truth standard that began in May and the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee at the end of the year, all of which were of epoch-making significance.

Everything in the future of China began in 1978.

It's a pity that from a small level, from the level of the people, there really isn't any chance, Yang Xia, as a junior high school student who is about to enter high school, or a college student, almost has no chance. What chances? It is Yang Xia's most urgent desire to make money.

In Yang Xia's impression, if you want to make money, you have to wait until 1984, when there were self-employed people on the streets of Chiquan Town, and before that, whoever dared to make money openly must be "speculative"!

However, Yang Xia in 1978 was not without a chance. Because he was a student, strictly speaking, he was not yet 16 years old (a little more than 14 years old), so he could not participate in the work of the production team, and thus he was free. Similarly, because he is in the countryside, compared with living in the city, people in the countryside in this era undoubtedly have their own advantages, that is, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, although this is not allowed in terms of policy, it is not impossible to do it secretly and earn a little money.

In fact, Yang Xia has an opportunity to make money, even a lot of money, which is in the sense of "big level". Because, in the previous life, Yang Xia was basically a cutting-edge writer in Nanshu Province, and, including the new one starting from "Class Teacher", Yang Xia has basically read it, and has conducted in-depth research on some key works, and Yang Xia still maintains the ability to write, she can pick up the pen to write novels.

Relying on the skills of the previous life, there is no need for plagiarism, not even imitation. Around the 21st century, the artistic approach is certainly much richer than in 1978. Therefore, Yang Xia has at least 80% success in writing novels.

The most important thing is that the manuscript fee at this time, although it hovers between 30 yuan and 50 yuan per thousand words, compared with the salary level at this time, the manuscript fee is really "frighteningly high".

A 10,000-word short story published in an important journal can receive a manuscript fee of about 300 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary of the county party secretary. If Yang Xia had this 300 yuan at this time, he would be able to do a lot of things, Yang Xia remembered that Yang Dad was in charge of the family's money, and the family's cash never exceeded 50 yuan.

In order to make himself and his family live a little better, in order to make himself and his family live a little better, in order to make himself not reborn again in vain, Yang Xia is not afraid of titles such as "early wisdom" and "juvenile writer", in fact, from this time to the 21st century, the income of well-known writers is quite considerable, although it is not enough to be rich, but there are many people who are small and rich, and the writers in the system, the state also pays salaries to the house, and the manuscript fee earned is equivalent to extra money.

However, before doing the "big" things, Yang Xia must first do the small-level things, that is, he must first earn a little money to improve his life. Because Yang Xia believed that starting from dinner, at least for half a month, there would be no oil in the family's meals, obviously, Yang Xia was unwilling to suffer this crime.

On the "small level", can Yang Xia make money? In fact, there is a way, and the so-called endless road is what it means. However, in this way, some methods are risky, and Yang Xia should strive to avoid these risks as much as possible.
