The 2nd Round: A City Giant

Reform and opening up not only changed the fate of the basic masses, but also changed the fate of some people who were not allowed to "smoke" during the turbulent period, these people are capable people in the society, but they did not have the opportunity to play their own strengths before, and now through their own efforts, they have become the "upstarts" in the society, they are "A City Shijia" Guan Yushan, Wang Jinhe and Han Fangtian.

Guan Yushan is the oldest of the three, let's start with him. As the son of a landlord, Guan Yushan's childhood lived a happy life that others couldn't imagine.

At that time, because the family had money, he was brought to live in City A by his father when he was a child, he was smart and clever, and his academic performance was very good, but he treated people who were not as good as himself, lacked words, and did not like to see each other.

Guan Yushan's father was a self-made businessman, and his landlord composition was assigned after liberation. In the early years, he opened a printing factory and a soda factory in City A, and after he had money, he bought land in his hometown, and through years of operation, he finally became a wealthy man on the land side. Guan Jianguo's father and he are cousins of a grandfather, but they rarely move around each other, because of different political views, Guan Jianguo's father is a poor peasant and a cadre of the peasant association. Guan Yushan's father was a big landlord and a big capitalist.

Guan Yushan has never walked by himself since he was sensible, and the reason is a vice in the old society. Whoever has money does not compare with having a good car, a good house, and a lot of money, but enjoys each other more.

Guan Yushan has always had two servants by his side, they are responsible for sending this little young master to school, others are in a car, take a foreign car to school, Guan Yushan is two servants to go to school on their backs, Guan Yushan believes that only in this way can he reflect his identity and status.

Before the liberation, this kind of vice in City A appeared in many people, and Liu Dart's father also served as a rich man's "back slave". It's no wonder that there are times of turmoil. These oppressed people will point the finger at these big landlords and big capitalists.

Guan Yushan's father is a loyal elder. Every time there was a famine, he would go back to the village to open a porridge field to help the poor, that is, since that year, every time the people who fled the famine, none of them belonged to their village.

But the good times didn't last long, and he didn't wait for Guan Yushan to grow up. City A ushered in a new spring, and City A was liberated.

Since Guan Yushan's father was a private capitalist, he was not affected, but his life could not be as luxurious as before.

Guan Yushan finally finished high school and went to work in his father's factory, where he met his wife, a daughter who was also a capitalist and the daughter of the second largest shareholder of the factory, and they soon got married. A boy was born.

After the beginning of the turmoil, Guan Yushan's family was returned to their hometown by the "dictatorship", and all the factories were confiscated, and a big landlord's hat was buttoned up. This is something Guan Yushan did not expect.

However, the old people in the village have generally received the favor of Guan Yushan's family, and they are always engaged in criticism. It's all a brushstroke, and it's not difficult for them. But in Guan Yushan's eyes, these villagers are pitying them. So he took the initiative to report his father's bad habits and wanted to make meritorious contributions to change his life.

Guan Yushan pointed out that his father had several aunts and wives, and after liberation, he arranged for them to return to their hometowns, and they also smoked and gambled a lot of money.

Now it can be troubled, the young people in the village don't buy Guan Yushan's father's account, they finally found an opportunity to criticize and educate his father, and at the conference, they also knocked out several of Guan Yushan's father's teeth.

After the criticism meeting, although Guan Yushan and his father drew a clear line, he still couldn't get rid of the landlord's son, and he was completely desperate. Because he didn't have the face to see his father, he moved to the stables of the production team and became a groom for the production team without keeping a score.

Guan Yushan's wife was deeply chilled by her husband's actions. She did not move away with Guan Yushan, but stayed to take care of her elderly father-in-law and mother-in-law, and took care of her mother-in-law until she died, and her father-in-law took care of her condition until her condition improved.

Although Guan Yushan is educated, he has no place in the production team. Don't look at him taking the initiative to raise horses for the production team, but everyone is very guarded against this unfilial son. A person who can betray his own son is hard to guarantee that he will not raise the horse to death. Late one night, Guan Yushan asked his little cousin, who was more than 20 years younger than him, to cut it, and this person was Guan Jianguo.

After ten years of reform and opening up, Guan Yushan left his hometown and wanted to do some small business and achieve his own grand cause. He found his wife before and asked her if she wanted to go with him, but his wife politely declined, the reason was that his father-in-law was too old, and every day was not as good as a day, and if there was no one around him, maybe he would die at home one day, and no one would know what to do.

Guan Yushan looked at his son, "Son, you are also in your twenties, do you want to go out with your father to make a family business, now it is different, as long as you have the ability, it is certain to turn over." ”

His son disagreed, "Dad, my mother has said, your heart is bigger than the sky, your life is thinner than paper, I still stay at home and wait for recruitment, if there is a good opportunity, maybe I can also rely on my own strength to break out of the world." ”

Guan Yushan saw that his son was so ambitious, and his heart was much more comfortable.

"Okay, son, let's go our own way, two roads, as long as we can go all the way, our family will turn over, the child, do you still have money in the family?"

The wife was speechless, as if she had not heard.

Guan Yushan saw that he didn't reply, and turned around and left.

After more than two years, when Guan Yushan returned home, he was still in the same outfit, and he didn't bring back a penny.

Guan Yushan's father is a middle-aged son, and he had several daughters in his early years, none of whom were supported, and finally had this son. Unexpectedly, he almost died at the hands of this unfilial son during the turmoil.

Whenever he thinks of his son's unfilial piety, Guan Yushan's father is very sad, but the filial piety of his daughter-in-law and the sensibility of his grandson add a little comfort to this old man.

Guan Yushan has always had no feelings for his father, not only did he not apologize for the mistakes of the year, but also had a very good opinion of his wife taking care of his father, and his son asked him to go to his father's room. He had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"What's the matter, you can just find your grandson and daughter-in-law if you have something, I'm so busy, it's all up to me for our old Guan family to turn over."

"It's all up to you? Didn't you bring back the money, you're in your forties, and you'll be the same as me if it's late. ”

"Look at what you said, you are forty years old, and I am now in my eighties, are you old and confused, I want to reach your age. We'll have to wait at least forty years. ”

"I think you're not as good as me, after all, Lao Tzu was in the limelight back then, you ate Lao Tzu back then, and now you eat your daughter-in-law and son, you are a parasite."

Father's words left Guan Yushan speechless. It is indeed like this, now he has no work, and the food he eats is all earned by the hard work of his wife and son. He didn't want his father to scold him anymore. He turned and walked out of his father's room.

Soon, the town's wool selection factory recruited workers, Guan Yushan and his son signed up together, and at the same time let the factory admit them. Everyone looked at Guan Yushan, who was in his forties. They all laughed at him.

"I said Brother Guan, you came to the factory to retire, can you still shine."

Guan Yushan disagreed, "It's all a public business." You can come, why can't I, don't look at my age. I'm going to be clear about this, so look at it. ”

Guan Yushan is indeed very smart, and the factory leaders saw that he was very eloquent, so they arranged him to the procurement department to be responsible for the procurement of wool.

In the 80s, most of the factories in the town were contracted and managed by individuals, and Guan Yushan was 48 years old this year. This is the age of prime of life, and many men have reached this age, and their careers have turned to the next peak, and when they reach the age of sixty, they can retire peacefully and spend their old age in peace.

After the wool factory posted the contract revelation, there were many people who wanted to be the factory director, and Guan Yushan also signed up, which surprised the family.

The son found him first, "Dad, are you okay, you haven't even been a section chief, and besides, there is no guarantee money at home, so you can't afford to pay the first year's contract fee." ”

Guan Yushan is most distressed about this matter, although he has saved some money at work over the years, but in order to make his wife happy, every time he opens the capital, he will hand over a lot of money to his wife to manage, at this time he is really embarrassed to ask his wife to ask, even if he wants it, it is far from the sky-high contract fee.

The loud conversation between father and son reached Guan Yushan's father's ears. Although the old man was nearly ninety, his hearing was not diminished, and he generally understood a lot, so he told his daughter-in-law to buy some food and drink, and planned to have a sip at dinner with his son and grandson.

Guan Yushan's wife has always been filial and has always respected this husband, because she heard her father say that her father-in-law was a powerful man, he started from scratch when he was young, and he did a lot of good things for the people, so he could live to be more than ninety years old, which was considered a high life at that time.

During the banquet, the old man poured a small glass of wine for his son and grandson and opened up the conversation.

"Son, you're almost fifty, I understand, you want to contract the factory, don't you want to jump around?"

Guan Yushan replied, "With this matter, if you don't fix it now, you may never have a chance again." ”

"Grandson, do you think our family is poor, and I haven't spit out to marry you."

Guan Yushan's son immediately replied, "She is nothing, the main thing is that her family is very powerful, and she has to ask for a bride price. ”

After hearing this, the old man laughed, "Who said that there is no money, grandpa has money, not to mention the bride price money, even if you buy a department store, grandpa has this money." ”

"Grandpa, are you confused, how can our family be rich."

Guan Yushan shouted on the side, "Don't listen to the old man's nonsense, if he wants to be rich, we can be so poor, he is ninety, he must be confused and confused." ”

"I don't like to hear this, you are Lao Tzu, I am Lao Tzu, grandson, go to your third master's house, call him to our house, grandpa has something to say to him."

The third master referred to by Guan Yushan's father is Guan Jianguo's father, and now he is the village party secretary of the village.

It didn't take long for Guan Jianguo's father to come to Guan Yushan's house, and as soon as he entered the door, Guan Yushan gave up this little uncle, who was almost the same as himself, to the position of the kang head.

The old man saw that the branch secretary was coming, so he called him to his side.

"San'er, you are the head of the village, I came to you today, I have something I want you to help me."

"Big brother. Just say, if I can do it, I'll do it right away. ”

"I want to make a will while I still understand."

The old man's words made several people present froze, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what's going on.

Without waiting for the branch secretary to answer, the old man continued, "I have never done anything to be sorry for people in my life. I don't think I'm a rich and unkind person, but now I'm old, my family is not very prosperous, only this one son in front of me, I want to leave all my property to him, what do you think? ”

The branch secretary hurriedly replied, "This is natural, of course your money will be left to your son." ”

"This doesn't violate the policy, I've always been very timid."

"Not violated. Your money certainly does not violate. ”

"Then I'm still a big landlord and a big capitalist, right?"

"Didn't they all rehabilitate you, you weren't anymore for a long time."

"That's good, grandson, you get the pickaxe and shovel. I'm going to pick something up. ”

Because it was dark, the light was not very good, but for the sake of the old man's idea, everyone walked to the middle of the courtyard.

The old man measured it with steps for a long time. Take a few steps to the left, a few steps to the right, and finally choose a location. asked Guan Yushan to plane it with a pickaxe.

Guan Yushan looked at his father, "Dad, I'm old, let your grandson do this job." ”

"No, you are my son, my things are left to you, if you give up, call your son."

Guan Yushan didn't know what the old man was talking about, so he had to sell his strength.

One meter, one meter five, one meter eight, Guan Yushan's body has already submerged the ground, and there is no movement.

Guan Yushan's son shouted from the side, "Dad, what have you discovered, do you need my help." ”

There was no movement in the pit, and after a long time, I heard the shouting from below, "Put the ladder down." ”

A ladder was put down, and when Guan Yushan came up again, he was holding a large wine jar in his arms.

Soon another one was picked up, and another, three in all.

When the wine jar was placed on the kang of Guan Yushan's house, everyone was dumbfounded.

Guan Jianguo's father exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, you still have these things." ”

"Yes, this is something to save the life of our old Guan family, I wanted to hand it in back then, but I didn't expect to hand it over, we decentralized, I had to bury the things in the yard, and now it's time for them to come out."

These three jars of things, in fact, are the treasures that Mr. Guan is going to hand over to the country, all of them are gold, silver and jewelry, I didn't think about it, I didn't wait for him to hand it in, the turbulent period came, in order to leave something for future generations, Mr. Guan still hid them.

Looking at the three jars full of treasures, Guan Yushan cried bitterly.

The old man looked at his son, "Boy, you always say that Lao Tzu is not good, you don't see it when Lao Tzu is good, what you see is when Lao Tzu is not good, now it's okay, Lao Tzu will give these things to you, not for anything else, just for my filial daughter-in-law, sensible grandson, you say Lao Tzu is okay, you have to reach the age of Lao Tzu, if you can leave these things for your son, even if it is my son, if not, even if I die, I will not recognize you as Lao Tzu's son, can you do it?" ”

"I can, don't worry, I'll do it."

The things were buried by the old man, but when they came out, they had to go through a lot of procedures, and after the intervention of the public security organs, it was confirmed that these things were buried by the old man Guan himself in the early days of liberation.

Guan Yushan contracted the town's wool sorting factory, and after several years of hard work, he opened a jeans factory and a printing factory, and with his father's teachings when he was alive, he became a well-known entrepreneur.

As for Guan Yushan's father, he didn't see his son's interest and died within a few years.

Holding his father's urn in his hand, Guan Yushan vowed that he would surpass his father's achievements and become one of the top businessmen in City A.

Not long after, Guan Yushan's family's rehabilitation policy came down, not only returning the shares and assets confiscated to Guan Yushan that year, but also reissuing a lot of money, which made Guan Yushan feel like a fish in water.

This year, he joined the "China-Kuomintang-Communist-Party" as he wished, and was also elected as a deputy to the Municipal People's Congress, and his son also married the girl he liked, giving birth to a big fat grandson. (To be continued......)
