City.

Although there is still a long time before the Chinese New Year, the air is already filled with the smell of the New Year, and people can occasionally be seen twisting Yangge in the streets and alleys, and there are also children banging firecrackers.

Wang Yuan rode a motorcycle to the door of a store, and as soon as he got out of the car and walked in, a small man squatting in the corner of the wall with his hands in his hands ran two steps and sat on his motorcycle.

Pull out the fake key and start tinkering with the keyhole directly.

When the female clerk in the store saw it, her face changed, but she didn't dare to say anything for fear of retaliation.

Wang Yuan sensed that something was wrong from the clerk's expression, and when he turned around, he jumped to his feet angrily:

"Hey! How dare you kid steal my car!? Look for death, you! ”

He quickly rushed out of the store with a fork in stride, and took the thief down.

Tutu Tu Tu ~ The motorcycle was also hit at this time, and then the center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground, which was a few seconds later, I am afraid that the thief would have run away on the motorcycle.

"You don't learn to steal cars at a young age, do you? I'll give you a shot, and I'll give you another kick! ”

"Ouch, you dare to hit me!? Do you know who I am? ”

“

So horizontal? I'll kick you a few more times! ”

Wang Yuan was so angry that he was almost losing the motorcycle, and it was not easy to find it once the motorcycle was ridden away.

He kicked the young man who was shrunk on the ground again, and when he saw the latter's hand reach into his arms, he pinched the other man's wrist again.

Slowly pulled the other party's hand out of his arms, and sure enough, he was holding a knife in his hand.

"Heh, you want to pull out a knife and want to gaha? Poke me? Okay, I'll take you to the Public Security Bureau right now. Wang Yuan snatched the knife from the other party's hand.

The young man is only 16~17 years old, and he is not afraid of being beaten, but when he heard that he was going to be sent to the Public Security Bureau, he was instantly intimidated.

"Big brother, I was wrong, you just bypassed me this time...... You smoke, my dad has to kill me if he wants to know I'm in the game. ”

"What smoke? Big front door. ”

Wang hiked and watched the young man for more than a minute, and then rode away with a cigarette, and a sentence came from the cold wind: "Don't do this business, otherwise it will be a matter of time before you enter the bureau."

In the end, Wang Yuan gave up sending the other party into the game, and he didn't want to force the other party to be anxious.

As for the other party, it is likely that he will steal other people's cars again, after all, he has tasted the speed of making money, and it is difficult to work honestly anymore, and he can't control this.

This year is only 1992, and for more than a decade since then, law and order have not been good.

After buying all the things, I rode back to Wangjiatun'er on a motorcycle, and just came to the intersection of Tunzi and Tunzi, I happened to see a white Nissan Baning van coming.

The van suddenly stopped when Wang Yuan staggered by, and the window was lowered, and it turned out to be the purchasing manager under Li Shen.

"Wang Yuan, you just came back? I bought 20 Wyverns and walked away, and I wondered why I didn't see you at home. ”

"Well, there are some things to do in our city, Manager Li walks slowly."

Manager Li glanced at Wang Yuan enviously, although he was riding a four-wheeled bicycle and Wang Yuan was riding a broken motorcycle, he knew that he was far less rich than Wang Yuan.

And because he followed Li Shen relatively late, he didn't know that Wang Yuan and Li Shen cooperated to open a chain restaurant.

Just looking at the current surface, Li Shen is the owner of a luxury hotel in the provincial capital, he is a rich man, and he usually comes into contact with either officials or other rich people.

And Wang Yuan seems to be a farmer living in a remote village - of course, Li Shen warned Manager Li not to offend Wang Yuan, so there is no story of pretending to slap his face.

Tutu Tu Tu ~ After returning home, the three dogs greeted Wang Yuan happily as usual.

"Wang~"

"Okay, okay, don't scream, be honest."

After a fight with the dogs, Wang Yuan dusted off the dust on his body and entered the house, and found his wife Li Yan counting the money.

Put a piece of blue and white 100 yuan bills on the kang, count very slowly but the thief is serious, the fourth set of yuan is still used in this era, and the 100 yuan bills are not red tickets, but blue and white.

On the front are four slightly overlapping heads, and on the back is a landscape painting of Jinggang Mountain.

The sister-in-law Li Ping stood on Li Yan's right, looking at her sister counting the money with a longing face, while her daughter Xiaotingzi was already lying on the kang and sleeping with a small quilt.

"Have you finished counting? Why don't I count them? ”

"No, no, I'll give you time to save it in the bank after counting." Li Yan tied up the money with a rubber band and happily handed it to Wang Yuan.

In this era, the interest rate on bank deposits is much higher than that of later generations, and the interest rate of banks has changed, but the interest rate of the one-year period of death can generally reach 7%~9%.

For three-year and five-year periods, the annual interest rate is more than 10%.

In other words, if you save 10,000 yuan, you will have more than 1,000 yuan in interest a year, which is very terrifying...... Of course, what is even more terrifying is inflation, and what can be bought for 11,000 yuan this year is probably not as much as what can be bought for 10,000 yuan last year.

The thought that flashed through Wang Yuan's mind was that many peasants did not trust banks at all, and hid their money under water urns, under kang mats, in the cracks of bricks in stoves, or in rat holes.

And he is reluctant to spend, and he likes to save money very much.

It seems that the amount of money is not less, but in fact, the purchasing power has been reduced by much, too much, so to speak, it is less money - stolen by shrewd "thieves".

Suddenly.

The small pavilion lying on the kang turned over, and she opened her eyes and glanced at Wang Yuan, but she didn't want to get up and closed her eyes and planned to continue sleeping.

Wang Yuan smiled: "Oh, the little pavilion is still sleeping, it just so happens that I bought the candy, let's eat all the sugar while she is asleep."

"Puff~"

The two sisters, Li Yan and Li Ping, both laughed, and Xiao Tingzi was stunned for a moment, and ran towards Wang Yuan with little short legs on his face full of excitement.

"Dad, I want to eat sugar, hehe~"

"Aren't you asleep?"

"I'm awake again, Dad, just give me a piece of candy to eat." I don't know who I learned it from, the little pavilion is so small that he will shake Wang Yuan's arm and be coquettish.

Wang Yuan gave her two pieces of White Rabbit toffee, and the little pavilion ate one and carefully put the other into the pocket of her clothes, and patted her pockets with satisfaction.

Time passes.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Wang Yuan went to the countryside to catch the big gathering and just came back, and his sister Wang Xiaodie waited directly in his courtyard early.

"Second brother! Did you buy the bands back? ”

Fluttershy ran up to Wang Yuan with anticipation on her face, she was getting taller and taller in the past two years.

"Buy it, buy it, give it to your sister-in-law first, let her pick up a piece and keep it for clothes, and the rest will be all yours." Wang Yuan gave her a large ball of red leather bands, and she immediately ran back to the house with her.

Jumping Bands is a game that requires a long band, which is a waste in the eyes of many parents and will not buy it for them, and Fluttershy knows that her second brother Wang Yuan is rich, so she comes to pester him.

It didn't cost a lot of money to just strip the band, so Wang Yuan rushed to the big set and bought it back by the way.

Of course, with the increase of use, the tightness of the rubber band will slowly disappear, and it is uncertain how long the rubber band can be used this time.

The sun was in the sky, but the sunlight shining on the body seemed to reveal a coldness, and the thick white snow covered the entire Xiaotunzi, whether it was a house or a tree, it seemed that they had gained several layers of weight.

"Brother Yuan came back from the market? What's the best thing to buy? ”

Wang Hu was in his yard and didn't know what to do, bent over, and let out white gas with one mouth.

"Pork, snacks, canned food, sesame oil, rock candy and some small needles and threads that your sister-in-law asked me to buy."

"Pork? Buy pork gaha? If you want to eat meat, go directly to my father's yard to cut it, and the pig I killed last time hasn't finished eating yet. ”

Wang Hu's father is Wang Yuan's third uncle, who runs a pig farm and occasionally slaughters a pig by himself.

Generally, if the third uncle takes the initiative to give meat, Wang Yuan will ask for it, but the other party didn't speak, and he rarely took the initiative to ask for meat.

"Drop by and buy a little ...... Well? Are you Gaha? Make clips, huh? ”

After a closer look, I found that Wang Hu was making iron clamps, there are big and small, small ones can clip pheasants, and big ones can clip roe deer.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"yes, I don't know which shriveled calves who gave birth to babies and didn't have assholes stole my clamps! me off, don't let me know who stole my clip! Hey~ There's no way, I can only make a few more by myself. ”

"Where did you put the clamp?"

Wang Yuan smiled instantly, but there was no good way for this kind of thing to happen, but the clips were all stolen, which was really a bit unlucky.

"On the west side, there are wild boar footprints over there, and I thought I could catch a wild boar."

At this time, Li Yan called Wang Yuan in the house, and the latter went back to the house with a basket.

Li Yan is breastfeeding the little girl, and her sister Wang Xiaodie is fiddling with her rubber bands, and she finds that Wang Yuan has bought the rubber bands long, which is really a happy trouble.

"Bought long? Then cut a section. ”

"Don't cut it!"

The little girl is reluctant, a simple ball of leather bands is a baby, and she is reluctant to cut it a little bit: "I'll just use it, I'm leaving!"

Holding the rubber band, she ran away, Wang Yuan asked her not to play outside with her friends, it was too cold, and she didn't know if she heard it.

I showed Li Yan all the things I bought, and most of them were still in line with Li Yan's wishes, and I put them in the outhouse that should be put in the outhouse, and I put them on the cabinets that should be put on the cabinets.

At this time, Li Ping, who went to the thatched building conveniently, also came back, and hurriedly got on the kang after returning to the warm room, her stomach was almost frozen and unconscious.

Wang Yuan accompanied the small pavilion to play with sandbags, and said casually: "The small pavilion is so big, it's time to consider weaning, or you're too tired."

The little pavilion was ignorant and shook his fingers.

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "This ...... Let's see it in a while, she is still so young, come to the small pavilion and let her mother hug her. ”

"Iya~"

Xiao Tingzi immediately stopped playing with Wang Yuan, and ran to Li Yan's side happily like a kitten, giggling non-stop.

The pork stewed at night, as soon as the fragrant pork was out of the pot, cousin Wang Hu rushed in.

"Brother Yuan, do you think I'm here by coincidence? I'll come as soon as your meat is cooked. ”

"Hahaha~ If you want to eat, you can taste it."

Wang Hu didn't politely pinch a piece directly and tasted it, there were still bay leaves, cinnamon, tangerine peel, and the aroma of big ingredients in the meat, and the saltiness was moderate, which instantly made Wang Hu full of praise.

"What's that word called? Fragrant but not greasy! That's right, it's fragrant but not greasy! It's delicious, it's delicious! ”

"Leave a piece to eat, just call Mengzi over, let's talk while drinking."

"Well, why don't you do it another day?"

Wang Hu glanced at Li Yan with a big belly, he didn't want to be disturbed by his eyes, Li Yan with a big belly was sleepy, tired, and got up at night, every day Wang Yuan's house rested very early, and he knew that it was so close.

"By the way, Brother Yuan, I'm here to get bullets, do you have more bullets?"

"That's a lot, it's definitely enough for you." Wang Yuan wiped his hands with a towel, went to the back room, opened a drawer on the kangqin, and took out an iron box.

There are a large number of bullets neatly stacked inside the iron box, and the yellow ones are quite beautiful.

"It's all for you, this is 100 rounds of ammunition that should be enough for you for a while."

This is also almost the New Year, and the sound of gunfire is gradually increasing, and many people are shooting just to hear the sound as a whip, and the bullets are consumed very quickly.

Wang Hu didn't refuse and ran away with the iron box, and after a while, he sent the iron box back, and when he left, he took away a bowl of stewed pork.

Wang Yuan, Li Yan, and Li Ping sat around the kang table to eat.

Li Yan asked curiously: "We just have that big box of bullets, right?" It's all given to Huzi, don't you use it yourself? ”

"Don't worry, there's still more bullets."

Wang Yuan smiled and didn't say much, he had also bought a lot of weapons in Russia before, machine guns, rifles, pistols, grenades, etc., and there was no shortage of bullets.

I'm afraid it's no less than 100,000 rounds!

20 rounds a day, it can be used for nearly 20 years! So I can't use it up at all.

After dinner, Li Yan watched the TV series, Li Ping snuggled next to her, and Wang Yuan sat on a stool and made a small abandoned iron pot and played with charcoal roasted sweet potatoes.

The charcoal is scarlet, and the temperature is very high, and soon the skin of the sweet potato begins to change color, and slowly the fragrance wafts out.

The three dogs lay at his feet, and they also liked to stay in a warm house and were reluctant to go out.

"Woo~"

The big wolf raised the dog's head, stretched out his nose and sniffed vigorously before looking at Wang Yuan.

"Why do you want to eat baked sweet potatoes? Wait, I'll be able to eat it right away. ”

Li Yan suddenly smiled and said, "They also eat raw sweet potatoes, eat everything."

"Raw is not as delicious as cooked, but you can start eating it when it's okay." Wang Yuan broke a few pieces and fed them to the three dogs, and then gave Li Yan and them points.

It may be that the piece is too big, and the skin of the sweet potato is burnt but it is still a little hard, but the sweet potato flesh next to the skin is red and translucent, as if it is about to flow honey, and it tastes very fragrant.

"I've been in the cellar for so long, and this sweet potato is sweet."

"Indeed~ If I like to eat it, we will often bake it in the future, and it feels much better than simmering and taking medicine."

"Finished eating? Anything else? Give me another piece. ”

"Woo~"

Just when a few people were eating the red potatoes, the wind outside suddenly became stronger, and the plastic sheeting of the lake window was blowing with a chaotic sound.

Suddenly.

Outside the yard, there was a mother's shout: "Xiaoyuan, hurry up and open the door!" Something is wrong! ”
