After marriage, Sister Yun and Wang Xiaofeng worked in the fields every day, doing housework together, raising poultry and livestock, taking care of her in-laws, and became a housewife and a good farmer from a famous actor in a rural literary and artistic propaganda team. As a result of their hard work, at the end of the year, not only did the crops in the fields not lose grain, but the poultry and livestock raised by the family did not sell for less money, and there was a slight surplus than before. It's just that Sister Yun no longer has time to act, sing, and dance, and the clothes on her body are not as neat and bright as before. But the masses still can't forget her, and they still strongly invite her to participate in the Spring Festival. However, Sister Yun no longer has the charm and style of the past, her expressions and movements are always deformed, she always forgets the words when she sings, and the dialogues are either wrong or distracted, and she can't keep up. Many people were disappointed and deeply regretted Sister Yun, saying that she "married someone and lost her soul". Sister Yun didn't care, and said, "Now, where do I still have the heart to act and sing?" There are husbands, in-laws at home, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the pen, crops in the fields, and a package of things waiting for me to work hard at home and abroad, so I really don't care about these idle things. Acting, singing, and dancing, although I am happy and loved, but it is just an amateur activity, playing an art war, and I am not a professional actor, I don't get paid, and I don't deserve to eat for this. Farming and feeding pigs is a serious thing, so that you can earn food and support your family. The in-laws liked her being so busy, and said: "With Sister Yun in our family, the family will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future." ”

Wang Xiaofeng has also become an authentic farmer, following Sister Yun every day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the handle of the sickle and hoe grinds his thin hand holding the pen out of a stiff cocoon, the wind and the scorching sun have turned his white skin into an earthy gray, but the labor exercise has made his physique much stronger and healthier than before, and a water pick weighing more than 100 catties can also pick up two or three loads at a time. Looking at the abundant harvest of grains, looking at his beautiful, virtuous and hard-working wife, and looking at the smiles on his parents' faces, he gradually forgot the pain of dropping out of school and felt the warmth and comfort of his family. However, when he was idle, or in the dead of night, he recalled his studies, ideals and struggles in the past, and the setbacks and humiliations he encountered, he still had ups and downs and could not calm down. He asked himself many times: Will I just farm the land for the rest of my life? Do you want to get back to your old ideals? But how can you get it back? What else can he do to achieve his dreams other than studying and going to college? Faced with a family and the reality of the countryside, what else can he do if he doesn't farm and labor? Where is his way out? Leaving him confused.

The next year, Sister Yun gave birth to a son, and the whole family was very happy. Sister Yun asked Xiao Feng to name her son, Xiao Feng thought seriously for a day and a night and didn't come up with a proper name: in line with his former ideals, but not in line with the current reality, in line with the current reality, but not in line with his own ideals, always entangled in his heart, thinking about it, and not agreeing. Wang Xiaofeng's father saw that his son always couldn't name his grandson, so he said that he would call it "Huzi". Xiaofeng didn't understand his father's intentions and asked, "Why did you come up with such a name?" "My father said that at the beginning, I named you "Xiaofeng" because I hoped that you would become a talented scholar and glorify your ancestors, standing up like a mountain peak and attracting people's attention; For this reason, for more than ten years, you studied hard at school, the family worked hard at home, and most of the income from labor was used for you to study, and we followed you to endure hardships and suffering, and in the end you failed the college entrance examination, I was crippled, and the family was in trouble, and you were thin and weak, and you did not have the strength to work; Thanks to Sister Yun for coming and leading this family. Now that I have grandchildren, I don't dare to be so delusional, rural children want to be Wenqu stars, it's not realistic! It's better to farm honestly and down-to-earth. My grandson's name is Huzi, and I hope that he will grow up strong and strong since he was a child, without disasters and difficulties, grow up healthy, work hard, and support this family without being bullied. Wang Xiaofeng listened to his father's explanation, smiled faintly, and didn't say anything. - What else can he say about his own failure to study and fall into his current situation? If you look forward to your son's study and go to college, what are the chances of winning? Based on his experience, I can't imagine it. Since my father is willing to call it that, he just called it like that, isn't it just a nickname? The creation of life lies in himself. So the name of the tiger was decided. Then it was called, and the whole village knew that the son of Sister Yun and Wang Xiaofeng was called Huzi.

New China's reform and opening up began in the rural areas, and the late 70s and early 80s of the 20 th century were a farming boom in the rural areas. The peasants who have just divided their fields into households have been liberated from the confinement of the collective economy in which the production team has planted extensively and harvested thin crops and exploited at all levels, and their enthusiasm is high; they regard the land as their life and grain as gold; in order to plant the fields well and produce more grain, the whole household is mobilized, the old and the young go into battle together, they get up early in the morning and are greedy for darkness, and they work intensively; in addition to the current popularization of scientific farming, the extensive use of fine varieties, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the rapid increase in grain output, the problem of food and clothing that has not been solved in the production team for more than 20 years has been quickly solved. But they soon found that it was difficult to get rich by farming alone, and that if they wanted to get rich, they had to do business and find money; In particular, after the opening of the market, almost all the urban residents, men, women, and children, looked for money together, looking for money everywhere, big or small, and almost everyone started a business. That situation was just like a popular set of sayings at the time: "One billion people and 900 million businessmen, and 100 million have no money, provoking merchants to go everywhere." "It is rare for the picker to bear the burden, and the citizens with little capital ride bicycles to the countryside to sell small commodities, and then buy agricultural and sideline products to bring back to the city to sell to make money.

In this situation, Wang Xiaofeng, who failed the college entrance examination, had no hope of studying, and was tired from farming, also became moved and clamored to abandon agriculture and start business. He said to Sister Yun: "It's not easy to dig food in the soil, and I admit that I am not this material." Our family can't get rich in the rest of our lives by farming, and I can't make it a good life for you and your son in my life. You see how much money people make in business! If we work for a month, we will work for a year, and people will be brisk and comfortable, how good! Sister Yun said: "It takes capital to do business, how can we have so much money?" He said, "I have a classmate in the bank who asked him for a loan. Sister Yun said: "The loan has interest, and even the principal and interest have to be repaid when it expires, what if it is lost?" He got angry, pointed at Sister Yun and said, "Everyone makes money in business, and I will pay alone?" You look down on people too much! I'm telling you, I'm no worse than people in my studies, and I'm no worse than people in business! Taking a step back, it is losing money, and I have to give it a try; Otherwise, I will not be willing to die in this life! Sister Yun was used to it, and when she saw that her husband was really angry, she had to agree. She thought, just pay the loss, pay the tuition, lose some money to let him learn to be good, and he will be able to farm with peace of mind in the future, otherwise he will not be able to farm at ease. So she said to Wang Xiaofeng: "Since you want to do business, go for it; You are literate, educated, able to write and calculate, and you can use it to some extent, so you won't waste it. I have the family farming, and the child is getting older, so I can rest assured that his grandparents will take him. Even if you lose money, you will have food to eat when you go home, and you won't go hungry. ”

Wang Xiaofeng doesn't think so, he said: "Now that the country is implementing the policy of reform and opening up, the people are generally rich, and when they have money, they can buy more things with more money, and they will definitely make money in business." I won't expect you to farm and feed my family and feed me all my life. He found a classmate who worked in a bank to get a loan of 10,000 yuan, contacted a supplier, paid part of the deposit, supplied the goods first, and then paid after the sale, and opened a small commodity wholesale department in the town, wholesale and retail, and started a business with great ambition. He was busy from morning to night, and was open until twelve o'clock at night, and opened early in the morning. Don't look at this kid can't farm, he is afraid of being tired, and lacks patience, now he is doing business just like he used to go to school and study, but he has a lot of energy, and he is patient, has brains, is not afraid of hardship, aims at the market, seizes business opportunities, is quick to do what he says, and sells what he makes money. He also continued to study the business experience, and when he encountered festivals, he held some discount promotions to attract customers, so his turnover increased significantly. After two years of work, he not only paid off the loan, but also made a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan, becoming a well-known 10,000 yuan household within a radius of dozens of miles! 10,000 yuan households were considered to be rich in the countryside of northern Jiangsu at that time! There are only a few of the 40,000 or 50,000 people in the township, and it is very glorious! What is it like to be a cadre? A salary of 100 yuan a month, a thousand yuan a year, except for food and clothing, it is already very good to be able to balance one or two hundred yuan at the end of the year. After graduation, one of his classmates who was admitted to the teacher's college was assigned to teach in a junior high school in the township, and in order to get married, he also came to borrow money from him. He gave 1,000 yuan to this classmate, but this classmate only took 400, saying that he couldn't afford to take too much.

After liberation, the consciousness of the Chinese has always been that whoever is poor is glorious and who is rich is a bear, so the workers and poor middle peasants are the most glorious, and the landlords and capitalists are the most bears. Whoever wants to have a worker or a poor middle peasant family is worth the money to be taken care of by the government, the people envy it, and it also extends to their children and grandchildren. I don't change it for a showman. Therefore, people wear patched clothes when they go out on business trips, not only do they not feel ugly and shabby, but they feel glorious and fashionable. Now that the reform and opening up has been carried out, it has turned over, who is rich and who is glorious, and who is poor and who is bearish. Those who have overseas connections used to be secretive and did not dare to mention it, for fear that the government cadres would know that they would be affected and be criticized for wearing the hat of a counter-revolutionary, and that it would also affect future generations to carry the blame and affect their future. Nowadays, it has become a great honor to have overseas relations, and it has been spread in both cities and villages, and yesterday it was rumored how many dollars someone had sent from the United States, and today it has been said that someone had returned from Hong Kong and how many Hong Kong dollars he had brought back. Even those who are rural cadres are asking everywhere who has overseas connections and can come to their hometown to invest and set up factories, so as to drive the economic take-off of their hometown, get rid of poverty and become rich, and they themselves can also show off their political achievements and then be promoted. Wealth is no longer a bad thing, and the 10,000-yuan household is even more glorious, just like the rich man of the old society and the heroic model of the new society. Poverty has become synonymous with laziness and incompetence, and people are disgusted by it, provoke shame and laughter, and even affect their son's search for a partner. So nowadays, even ordinary people are ashamed to wear patched clothes when they go out, for fear of embarrassment, they all choose the most decent and fashionable clothes to wear, and they wear red and green all over the street, colorful, radiant, and full of spirit! No one said that those terms such as "ideology is in charge", "class struggle", and "feudal capital and cultivation of ideas" were replaced by trendy fashion terms such as "reform and opening up", "emancipating the mind", "pushing through the old and bringing forth the new", "guaranteeing production to households", and "treating the poor and getting rich".

The township secretaries, township heads, and other leading cadres have changed their thinking even faster, and they have seen that their hometown, which used to be a poor and remote place, where they have been eating relief and asking for loans every year, has now appeared several households of 10,000 yuan, and they are very excited and happy to believe that this is a great victory and great achievement in their vigorous implementation of the reform and opening up policy, and they immediately realize that this is the leader of the 40,000 or 50,000 people in the township who have become rich through hard work, a good example for the people of the whole township to learn from, and a typical example of the county party committee's call for vigorous propaganda. The best testimony of the great achievements of diligent government and love for the people; Therefore, the township decided to immediately convene a congress of 1,000 people from all walks of life in the township theater in the town's theater to publicize and commend these leaders who have become rich with great fanfare, to give them red and flowers, and to invite them to speak on the stage and introduce the experience of getting rich through hard work, so as to spread the word to the whole township and call on the people of the whole township to learn from them. Who will speak? If you are good at doing business and getting rich, you may not be able to speak a truth that is in line with today's policies, leads the people to get rid of poverty and become rich, and is in line with the will of the leadership. Several people pushed back and forth to count Wang Xiaofeng as a high school student, highly educated, and educated, and Township Chief Li immediately decided that Wang Xiaofeng would speak on behalf of 10,000 households.

Since his father was disabled by a work-related injury and dropped out of school to go home to farm, Wang Xiaofeng has been depressed and discouraged, and has been silent and low-key; I didn't want to encounter a new era, reform and opening up, and the implementation of the policy of enriching the people, he abandoned agriculture and business, seized business opportunities, carefully managed, got rich in two years, and became a 10,000-yuan household! Now the leaders value it, regard it as a model, and push it to the whole township, which makes him surprised, glorious, and emotional, and has a lot to say in his heart. He wrote speeches overnight, counting his lofty ideals, bumpy experiences, successful roads, and experiences of getting rich. The next day, he took the stage to speak and won a round of applause. Township Elder Li praised and took the lead in applauding, calling on the people of the whole township to learn from Wang Xiaofeng's example and experience in getting rich through hard work.

At noon, the township leaders held a banquet in the largest and most luxurious hotel in the town to entertain 10,000 households, and the chief and deputy secretaries, the chief and deputy township heads, directors, assistants, and secretaries were all dispatched. On weekdays, they feel that they are leaders and superior to others, and today they have lowered their prices, toasted to 10,000 households respectively, and praised them frequently, touting 10,000 households to the sky. After eating and drinking, before leaving, each 10,000 yuan household was also awarded a glorious plaque of "Leader of Diligence and Prosperity". Before this, Wang Xiaofeng had always been a poor student, a poor peasant, and unknown, when did he ever have such glory? Receiving this award today is really a bit flattering and fluttering. He wore saffron on his chest all the way, held the glorious plaque of "Leader of Hard Work and Prosperity", happily returned to Liushulin Village, and returned home, causing many people to stop and watch, "tsk" praise. Everyone said: "Now the world has really changed, such a broken family and a poor boy can also become a 10,000 yuan household, and be invited and praised by the leaders of the township government!" Since then, Wang Xiaofeng has changed his view of life, believing that in this world it is no longer "everything is inferior, only reading is high", but "everything is inferior, only getting rich is good", as long as people have money, what reputation, status, beautiful words, precious things, can be bought.
