The old man's face was full of folds, and he was dressed in a blue homespun cloth that had been washed white.

I also lost a lot of teeth.

I smoked dry cigarettes for a long time, and my teeth were smoked with a mouthful of old yellow teeth.

When the old man came in, he sighed as he watched his daughter-in-law wipe her tears.

took a puff of dry tobacco and said to the eldest grandson next to him: "Xiaogang, take Xizi and them out for a while, I have something to say to your father." ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaogang looked at his mother, nodded, and took the three of them to the hall.

The old man glanced at Yang Xiaole on the bed and didn't let him out.

Then he took out a small purse from his pocket and handed it over:

"When your mother was here, the two of us kept it, thinking that if there was something sleepy at home, we would take it out and use it, who would have thought that she would leave so early.

The things were put away, and if I had time, I went to the city to change the money.

Xiaole's grades have always been very good, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he has to let him study, whether our old Yang family can come out of a college student depends on him. ”

He spoke to his son, but he stuffed something into his daughter-in-law's hand.

Without saying anything more, he smoked a cigarette and left.

After the old man left, Wang Qiuju looked at the things in his hand strangely for a while.

glanced at her husband Yang Guangzhi.

Then he opened the small sachet.

"Oops, I'm dripping mom!"

After opening it and taking a look, Wang Qiuju hurriedly covered the things again.

Hurriedly said to the big girl who had just come in: "Da Mei, go and tie the door!" Hurry up. ”

Although Yang Damei saw that this was strange, she still followed the instructions of the old lady and came to the hall to close the door.

After she came back, Wang Qiuju asked several times, "Is the door bolt done?" ”

After making sure that it was tied, she thought for a while, and said to her eldest son: "Gangzi, you take them to the hall, if someone comes, don't open the door without my notice, do you hear?" ”

"Mother, what's wrong? What did Grandpa give you? ”

Yang Xiaogang was surprised by his mother's movements for a while, and estimated that his grandfather gave something good.

"Just let you go, do you hear?"

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaogang could only reluctantly take his sister and younger brother out.

As for the second Yang Xiaole, he is naturally still in the house.

After the others left, Yang Guangzhi asked strangely: "What did Dad give you?" ”

Hearing her man's words, Wang Qiuju cautiously opened the small purse and poured the things on the kang.

I saw 4 things falling down inside.

A gold ring with a small piece of red jade.

There was also a gold bean and two silver dollars.

Yang Guangzhi was surprised when he saw this thing: "This ...... Why does Daddy have this thing? ”

After speaking, he picked up the ring and looked at it.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju muttered: "Needless to say, it must be Wu Laocai's family, and his family was the richest back then...... (You probably know what that means, right?) ）”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole was also curious and took a golden bean and looked at it.

Gross estimates have been estimated, there should be one or two grams, and the specific ones have to be weighed.

After a visual inspection, a few together should be less than ten grams.

Now because of the promulgation of the gold and silver management regulations, there is basically no gold on the face of the people.

It is possible to hold a small amount of gold jewelry.

But big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, these things, but no one dares to put them on the bright side.

However, in order to encourage people to take out the gold they had saved, the city also bought it anonymously.

Listen to Zhang Laohan said, one gram is 3.08 yuan.

Together, there are more than a dozen dollars.

As for the silver dollar, the current exchange ratio is one silver dollar for one dollar.

However, for the Yang family, who still owes money to the village for a year, this is already a huge amount of money.

As for Wu Laocai, who was said by his mother, he used to be a well-known squire and rich man in the neighborhood back then, but it was not their Zhuangzi, it was the Zhuangzi next door.

How this thing came about, of course, there is no need to say more.

Just as he was about to look at the ring in his father's hand, there was a knock at the door.

Hearing this movement, Wang Qiuju and Yang Guangzhi were stunned for a moment.

Then Wang Qiuju hurriedly put the things away.

While receiving it, he also cried: "Oh, how do you live this day!" Woowoo woo ......"

I opened the wooden box at the head of the bed and threw my things in.

It was immediately locked.

At the same time, he gave his husband a look.

Seeing this, Yang Guangzhi calmed his face and went out to open the door.

Then the voice of voice came from the living room.

Yang Guangzhi looked at the woman at the door, frowned and said, "Xiuhe! How did it come? Fourth, is this an opinion again? ”

"Hey, second brother, look at what you said, how to divide it, that's what my father has the final say, and what our family Guang'an said doesn't count."

The woman said as she walked in, "What's the matter?" Why is the door still tied in broad daylight? ”

"Fourth aunt!"

Yang Xiaole saw people coming in, so he could only greet him.

The separation of the family is a matter for the elders, although he is unhappy, but he can't say it, otherwise it will be spread that his mother Wang Qiuju will be poked in the back.

Said that the tutoring is not good.

Sun Xiuhe nodded and hummed, which was a response.

Then he looked at Wang Qiuju, who was sitting in front of the kang and wiping her tears.

She walked over with a smile: "Oh, Qiu Ju, look at why you're still crying, if you feel unfair, wait for the old uncles in Zhuangzi to come over, you can talk about it!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju sneered.

In family affairs, as long as the old man does not change his words, who will call the shots for you.

If the old man changes his mind, the rest of his life, then don't pass it, wait for Zhao Jinhua to make trouble.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Sun Xiuhe glanced around and asked with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, what did Dad do just now?" Did it give you something? ”

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she was furious.

Straight to his feet.

"The fourth family, you're here to see the joke, aren't you? The old man has given you all the good land, and our pigs will be taken away, and their conscience will be touched. ”

As he spoke, he said angrily: "Get out, let me out." ”

Sun Xiuhe was also suspicious when he saw this.

I just saw my father-in-law come home and come to this house, and now I come here and the door is bolted.

There must be ghosts.

But looking at the aggressive second sister-in-law, she still has no confidence when she doesn't find evidence.

In case you get beaten, you are unlucky.

Then he said with a smile: "Oh, second sister-in-law, I just said this, how can you take it seriously!" Okay, forget it, I'm going to go to the field to fetch water! I won't tell you. ”

After saying that, he left the room stupidly.

Out of the compound, Sun Xiuhe thought for a while, and then went to the courtyard of the old family next door.

After the others left, Wang Qiuju breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he began to wail loudly again, only this time there were no tears.

After waiting for a while, Yang Guangzhi came back and shouted at her: "Okay, everyone is gone, don't scream." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju stopped crying.

After glancing at her husband, she said, "This can be exchanged for some money, but how useful can this money be compared to the land." ”

Yang Guangzhi didn't say anything when he heard this.

He didn't know how much this thing could be exchanged for, but it was more important than the land.

This land is a long stream, and the money is spent and spent.

The important thing is that even if you have money, a lot of things, without a ticket, you can't spend it if you have money, and even if you spend it, the price is at least doubled.

However, with good land, a lot of more grain can be harvested every year.

The family will not have porridge every day.

But what can he say!

Yang Xiaole smiled beside him: "Mother, don't worry, you can keep this gold, if you have the opportunity, go to the city to replace it, and it's not a matter to let it go." It's best to borrow some money from the production team. ”

"Are you stupid, kid? Borrow money? I borrowed money and sold you back? You're still the best student in Hongqi High School! ”

When Wang Qiuju heard her son's words, she chattered there.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole didn't know how to explain.

Soon Hongqi Township will become Hongqi Commune, and there is a very important thing here.

That's the closing account. (I can't explain it, but if I know it, I can explain it.) ）

At present, the grain output is low, there are many children in the family, there is little labor, and there is not enough food to eat, so basically they will owe it to the production team.

This is the upside-down household.

And the Yang family has many children, especially Yang Guangzhi's family has five children.

As the saying goes, half the size eats the poor.

This is also the main reason for clamoring to split the family, because this family is too good to eat.

However, after the establishment of the commune, there were no upside-down households in the village in a short period of time.

As for the later upside-down households, that came later.

"Gollum!"

In the midst of his thoughts, Yang Xiaole's stomach began to growl.

When Wang Qiuju heard this voice, she complained; "Speaking of now, after suffering such a big loss, I haven't eaten anything!"

After speaking, he shouted at the door: "Da Mei, have you picked the vegetables?" Go pick vegetables, I'll cook in a moment. ”

When Yang Damei outside heard this, she pursed her lips and shouted at her eight or nine-year-old sister next to her: "Let's go, go cook." ”

Yang Xiaole was accustomed to seeing this scene.

It's not because the other party is his mother, but the current female doll, basically when she is seven or eight years old, she has to beat pigweed for the family.

Do what you can on the farm.

Like her eldest sister Yang Damei, she is 14 years old this year, and she basically does all the work at home.

Although the younger sister Yang Xiaoli is only seven years old, she has already learned the skills of making fire.

This is also the most common thing in the countryside right now.

But at this time, he was most concerned about being able to eat a full meal, especially meat.

Two eggs a week isn't even a craving.

As for the meat?

Don't even think about that.

Calculating the time, the last time I ate meat was the summer harvest in June, so I have to give priority to the labor force at home.

He also only ate two pieces.

Forget it, the more I think about it, the hungrier I get.

As for borrowing money from the production team, that's it, because no one will believe him.

He can't say either.

After all, it is estimated that the township may not know about this now, and the time has not yet come!
