ps: Since it has been on the shelves for more than two years, this week ushered in the first test of the recommended position, I hope you will vote more! Thank you so much! (2-in-1 Chapter)

In the middle of summer (January is summer in South America), the days are long and the nights are short, the sun is just overhead, the weather is hot, cicadas and birds are chirping non-stop, and the leaves of the newly loaded willow trees on the side of the road are drooping, and they are tired and tired like pedestrians returning from the road.

Passing through the country road, a coastal village surrounded by greenery and dotted with ponds is not far away.

Directly south of the village, under the oak trees near the blue brick houses, farmers sit in the shade of the trees or under the stone slabs of the eaves, chatting and looking at the white smoke rising from the chimneys, imagining how long it will take for the meal to be ready.

Walking forward for dozens of meters, avoiding the shade of trees, you can vaguely see a Western-style building more than ten meters high, with a pointed roof, the building has two floors, the lower floor is a number of spacious houses, and the upper floor is an attic with Western-style clocks, about 20 years ago, when the Chinese just settled in Rio Grande do Sul, this Western-style building was still a country church with many believers, but with the departure of the missionaries, the church was taken over by the government, first as a barracks for the first two years, and then a junior school was built in the townThe students lacked a place to go to school, so the soldiers stationed in the church at that time gave up the church, renovated it slightly, hung the national flag of the Han Kingdom, and became the school of the first junior high school in Jingbian Town.

In the past ten years, the economic situation of the Han Kingdom has become higher and higher, and the populous Jingbian Town has built two primary schools in the town, the original school converted from a church, because it is far away from the center of the town, was sent to Xincuo Village as a village primary school in Xincuo Village, and the three or five teachers in the school are mainly responsible for the education and management of school-age children in Xincuo Village and several neighboring villages.

The red national flag, with its spired eaves, and a strange-looking primary school, has witnessed the historical changes of the Chinese people in Xincuo Village for 20 years, and also carries the memories of hundreds of people living in the local area.

The eldest Yang Guangzong, the second Yang Guanghai, the third Yang Guangzhong, and the three younger girls all spent their childhood primary school careers in this school.

Walking into the village, habitually looking up at the primary school hall in front of him, Yang Kaifu was full of happiness in his heart.

The ancestors of the Yang family are authentic poor farmers, left in his father's generation, the family only rents five acres of thin land of the landlord's house, every autumn harvest season, after paying the rent of fifty fields, the remaining grain is barely enough for the family to make a living, and if the harvest is slightly worse in the year, after paying the rent, the remaining food is simply not enough to feed the five or six people in the family, whenever this happens, Yang Kaifu's father and mother often go to the county to find some work, through the city old men do short-term work, odd jobs, in exchange for a few copper plates, Then buy a few catties of coarse grains and endure the difficult days.

The days of suffering are the most difficult to forget, and Yang Kaifu often recalls the experience of picking mushrooms, fungus, and wild vegetables in the mountains when he was a child.

Fathers and mothers went to the city to do odd jobs to earn money, and four or five children in the family who were seven or eight years old, early eight or nine years old, in order to find more food for the family, often took a few sticks and baskets together, and went to the mountains and forests not far from their homes to look for mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, and wild fruits.

The number of fungus and mushrooms that can be used in the mountains is scarce because they are often picked, several children will fight and fight with each other from time to time in order to compete for a bush of mushrooms, Yang Kaifu did not fight with other children when he was a child, at the earliest, there was an elder brother who was two years older than him, and every time he fought, he protected his younger brother, but later because he accidentally ate a piece of poisonous mushroom, his brother died, without his brother's protection, in the process of fighting with other children, Yang Kaifu suffered a lot of losses.

Recalling what happened when he was a child, Yang Kaifu couldn't help but feel sorry for his brother who died early, if his brother hadn't eaten poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and when he grew up peacefully, he would have moved to South America with himself, and there would have been no tragedy in the past.

In the same era, people with different identities and statuses have completely different destinies. While the officials, landlords, and gentry in the Far East were living a life of fine clothes and food, and a crowd of servants, many poor people like Yang Kaifu were struggling on the boundary between life and death.

Yang Kaifu has a total of five brothers and sisters, the elder brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister died of hunger and poverty one after another, and the other sister was sold by her father to a family surnamed He in the city as a maid when she was seven or eight years old because the family could not eat.

The children of poor families have long been in charge, and when his father gave his sister to the lord in the city to be a maid, Yang Kaifu also saw his mother hiding in the house and secretly crying.

Sons and daughters are all flesh that fell from their mothers, but if there is a way, mothers are not willing to send their children to others to be called by maids.

Sixteen years ago, when Yang Kaifu had just stabilized in South America, he took out all his savings, followed by more than ten familiar local neighbors, and returned to the Far East together, and then spent money to redeem his sister, who was just thirteen years old at the time, and took him to live in South America.

Sixteen years ago, in South America, the gender ratio of Chinese men and women was seriously imbalanced, in order to encourage Chinese women of appropriate age to immigrate, the government not only exempted all female immigrants in the age range of five to thirty-five years old, but also as long as female immigrants in this age range, after arriving in South America, without going through a two-year assessment period, they can directly obtain the status of official nationals and land ranging from 10 to 15 acres per person.

With the preferential policies promulgated by the government, after Yang Kaifu brought his sister back to the mainland, all the transportation expenses spent back and forth were reimbursed after being reviewed by the officials of Jingbian Town, and the younger sister was also sent to a literacy school for education because she was just thirteen years old and less than twelve years old.

My sister studied in a literacy school for three years, and after the end of her studies,

After two years, when my sister was eighteen years old, she married a major officer on active duty, and since then, the fate of herself and her sister has been completely changed.

Now, not only is the only sister out of the sea of suffering and living a happy life of husband and wife, but even the three sons of his own family have a good life.

"Kaifu, Guangzong", the name given by the father and himself for the descendants, contains the most straightforward expectations for the descendants, pioneering the wealth, the glory of the ancestors, although he failed to complete his father's expectations of developing the wealth, but the eldest son Yang Guangzong, admitted to the naval officer school, became a naval colonel-level officer, and left in the background of the three generations of poor people in the old Yang family, it is also completely worthy of the glory of the ancestors.

Yang Kaifu is very satisfied with his current life, the eldest son has a bright future, and the matter of starting a family is under his own matchmaking, and he also has eyebrows, and the three girls and a son are still young, they are all at the age of going to school, but there is no need to think about their future too early, except for the five children, only the second son Yang Guanghai can make Yang Kaifu happy,

The second child will be 16 years old, and the intermediate education examination will be held in May and June after the new year, and after the examination, he will face the problem of choosing a higher education institution.

In his own opinion, he still hopes that his son will enter the Naval Officer Academy and serve in the Navy like his eldest son after graduation.

There are two naval officers in a family, which is a very proud thing for an ordinary Chinese family.

I was thinking about my second son's academic choice after graduation, and I arrived at home after a while.

"Daddy! My brother is back, and my brother has brought back a lot of gifts! ”

Opening the gate of his yard, a small body threw himself into his arms and said happily.

"The Boss is back?"

Yang Kaifu was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you wait until the twenty-seventh or eighth day of the lunar month to get home in previous years?" Why did you come back two days early this year? ”

"The fleet has a new plan for this year, so it took two days off early."

Navy Major Yang Guangzong, who was dressed in a blue naval officer's dress and a big-brimmed hat on his head, walked out of the house with a smile, and took the five or six-year-old girl hanging on her father's feet in his arms, and teased: "Xiaoying is disobedient at home? Has a sister made her mother angry? ”

"Xiaoying is obedient, A-Niang likes Xiaoying."

The little girl stared at the rank mark on her brother's shoulder, and while answering in a similar way, she used her little hand to figure out the rank logo.

"Haha, Xiaoying, this thing can't be moved, it's deducted, my brother will be criticized when he returns to the army."

Yang Guangzong laughed and reminded his sister softly, but he didn't stop the little girl's movements.

"Is it like when A-Niang taught Xiaoying?" The little girl heard her brother's voice and quickly retracted her little hand.

"Yes, it's like when Xiaoying made a mistake, her mother taught you a lesson."

Yang Guangzong scraped the little girl's nose with his fingers, put her on the ground, and coaxed: "Brother put a lot of fun gadgets in the house, Xiaoying will go to the house to play with toys first, and after lunch, my brother will talk to his father and mother about things, and then play with Xiaoying, okay?" ”

"Brother, you talk to Daddy first, Xiaoying has gone to the house."

The little girl nodded vigorously, looking like a little adult.

"Haha, Xiaoying is really obedient."

Coaxed away his happy sister, Yang Guangzong welcomed his father into the living room, and the two first talked about some family trivialities, and then talked about the choice of colleges and universities after the college entrance examination.

"After the college entrance examination, the choice of which college to study in is mainly based on Guanghai's own ideas."

"That's different. If you apply for the Navy Military Academy and the Army Military Academy, after graduation, you can directly become an officer, but if you choose an ordinary state university, after graduating in four years, you will either go to a primary and secondary school to become a teacher, or you will go to a factory as a mechanic, and directly become an officer, the salary is far worse. ”

Yang Kaifu shook his head and objected.

"Dad, you are thinking old, after graduating from the college entrance examination, there is not only one way to take the military academy to become a soldier, but also to be admitted to a regular state university or a more stringent state, and the eight national universities directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education have a good way out after graduation."

Yang Guangzong patiently persuaded: "Applying for the military academy and enlisting in the army is a way to serve the country.

The country is vigorously developing industrialization, and more than 20 local institutions of higher learning are generally dominated by science and engineering, and every student who graduates from science and engineering, whether entering a state-owned factory or entering a private enterprise, has a good salary. ”

"No matter how good the treatment of companies and enterprises is, can it be better than being an official?"

Yang Kaifu was still stubborn in his old views.

"The treatment of being a soldier and an official is indeed good, but the country is already preparing to implement a constitutional monarchy, and the political status of people from all walks of life will be the same in the future.

"No matter how much changes change outside, the teachings handed down by the ancestors for thousands of years will never be wrong, studying and becoming an official is the best choice, if you have the opportunity, let the second child go to the military academy."

With the successful experience of his eldest son, Yang Kaifu wanted to train his second son and third son to become naval officers, and Yang Guangzong saw that he could not reverse his father's concept, so he changed his perspective and persuaded him to choose a science and engineering university to study, and he could also enter the government as an official after graduation, such as Zhou Sheng, Lin Shenhe, and Tang Yuanzhan are examples, not only became technical officials who dominated the technology industry, but also obtained the title of nobility.

Yang Guangzong patiently persuaded for more than half an hour, and finally made his father change some of his concepts, and agreed to choose a college or university according to Yang Guanghai's wishes, if he did not go to a military school, he would go to a science and engineering school, and then after graduation, he would strive to enter a technical institution under the supervision of the government or a large industrial enterprise.

After the father and son finished chatting, several younger siblings helped their mother to bring the prepared meal to the stone table under the oak tree in the courtyard, and the family of seven or eight people chatted around the spacious stone table while eating and eating.

"Second Uncle Yang, I made a whole pickled pork in the winter, and I couldn't finish it at home, so my father asked me to come over and send you a piece."

The family was eating, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with her hair tied walked away at the gate of the courtyard. (At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the traditional hair binding steps were complicated and inconvenient to clean, so the Han government issued a hair binding decree on the basis of cutting braids, advocating that women keep their hair tied up.) ）

"Brother Zhuangzhuang, you're back!" The girl saw Yang Guangzong, who was sitting at the table, still wearing a brand-new military uniform, and said with surprise on her face: "Daddy said that you will only come back for the New Year in two days, why did you come back early, and I didn't give a notice." ”

"The fleet has taken two days off early, and I have just arrived home, so I haven't had time to visit Uncle Wu at your house."

Yang Guangzong had already heard that his father and Wu Shilang were going to match him and Wu Songlan, and there was a rare trace of shyness on his face.

"Songlan girl, the boss is now a naval officer, not a bald boy who hasn't grown up, and when we meet in the future, I want to call him a big name."

Yang Kaifu looked at the girl who walked in from a familiar way, and quipped: "Your father told you, after the year, the relationship between you and Guangzong will be set, three years later, when you reach the age of eighteen, you will marry the two of you, after getting married, you will be a daughter-in-law, and when you see Guangzong in the future, you will have to change your words, and you can't keep being strong and strong." ”

Although Wu Songlan was a country girl, she also knew a little about the accident, and knew the meaning of Yang Kaifu's jokes, so she blushed shyly, put the bacon on the table next to her, and ran out shyly and happily. …………
