Chapter 60, Hope Failed.
When I came to the door, there was a big truck parked in front of the door of the fourth Yang Guang'an.
There was a person standing next to the car, it was his uncle Yang Guangchun.
At this time, there was a circle of people around, and they recognized people there.
"Oh, this is Guangchun back?"
"yes, you haven't been back in years, have you?"
"Tut-tut, is this a big official? I'm driving back! ”
……
And a group of children were still circling around the car, looking at the truck curiously, and the bold ones climbed up.
"Go and go, play while playing, and I can't afford to lose if I break it and sell you."
The old village chief smoked a dry cigarette and drove it away at a group of children.
At this time, Yang Guangchun had just hugged Yang Guangzhi and the two brothers.
Letting go of his arm, Yang Guangchun greeted the old village chief: "Third master, your body is quite tough!" ”
"No, old man! Okay, let's go in, I haven't come back for so many years, and my family is very worried, let's go in! ”
The old village chief smoked a cigarette and waved his hand at him.
What is a concern!
In fact, they all thought he was dead.
Yang Guangchun nodded and smiled at the others: "Folks, I'll go home first, and I'll talk about it when I have time later!" ”
After speaking, he walked towards the fourth Yang Guang'an's house.
When he came to the door, he saw Yang Mancang excited at the door, and the uncle also shouted with red eyes.
"Daddy!"
"Hey, it's good to be back, it's good to be back, hurry up and go home! Come on in. ”
After Yang Mancang finished speaking, he took the lead into the house with red eyes.
At this time, Yang Guangping's family came in with Xiaolong Xiaohu and their little daughter.
After the division today, the first ones are all here.
Back in the house, the old couple naturally sat at the top of the table, and the brothers of the Yang family sat around the Eight Immortals table.
Others naturally have to stand.
Yang Guangchun looked around and recognized people with a smile.
"This is Xiaolong, right?"
"Hey, yes, uncle, I'm Xiaolong."
Yang Xiaolong responded with a smile.
"Well, it's so strong, this is Xiaohu and Xiaojuan."
Tian Cuihua smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaojuan was only 3 years old when you came back!" ”
Yang Guangchun bowed his head lightly and looked at the children of Yang Guang'an's family.
Sun Xiuhe knew that he didn't know any of them, so he said with a smile: "This is the old big and small bell, the second one is well-off!" There are also three small flowers. ”
One man and two women.
Then he yelled at the child; "Call Uncle!"
"Uncle! (Uncle)"
The children responded.
Yang Guangchun bowed his head slightly, and finally looked at his own brother.
Wang Qiuju naturally introduced them one by one.
Most of them have seen it, but only the fifth Xiaoli has not seen it.
When Yang Xiaole was introduced, Yang Guangchun saw this guy's face clearly, and his brows furrowed.
But now is not the time to ask.
Then he opened the cloth bag with a smile and took out a cloth bag from it: "Come, children, eat candy, the candy that Uncle brought you from the city, go and share it, don't grab it!" ”
After speaking, he smiled and put the candy cloth bag on the table.
Inside is fruit hard candy, orange petals, sorghum syrup, mixed together, most of the don't need to vote orange stalks and sorghum syrup.
The amount is quite a lot, and it looks like a pound or more.
There are also two cans inside.
Zhao Jinhua saw that the children were going to take it, and took the cloth bag with a smile, "Okay, one person will divide two pieces, and eat them slowly after putting them away." How can you eat it all at once! The landlord's family can't eat like this. ”
Then one person divided two.
Kiko pouted beside her.
In her hands, can they still have their share?
Think too much.
He's young, but he's not ignorant.
Yang Xiaole is not rare for this bit of sugar, but he is unhappy.
But thinking that the uncle came back on the first day today, there was no need to be unhappy and block a group of people, so he didn't say anything.
But with so many children, there is only half a pound of candy left.
The adults also tasted one by themselves.
Looking at the laughing eyes of everyone, Yang Guangchun looked at his father: "Dad, I heard that there is a canteen in Zhuangzi, and there is hope for this day in the future!" ”
Yang Mancang smoked a dry cigarette and nodded with a smile: "Yes, there is more hope than before, the pork I ate yesterday was killed again today, today we still eat meat and steamed buns, how dare I think about it before the New Year's Festival!" ”
After speaking, he glanced at his son: "Have you arranged your work?" ”
"Well, it's arranged, work at the textile mill. I came here today with my comrade-in-arms to go to the mine, and I can't stay here for long. ”
"Ah, aren't you eating here? Are you going to leave here? ”
Yang Mancang looked at him with some distress.
Yang Guangchun smiled: "No way, I've been there for a long time, and we've changed too much here." I'd like to familiarize myself with the situation. I'll come back to see you when I'm settled. ”
After speaking, he took out a pack of cigarettes, opened them and divided them among the few people who smoked.
Yang Mancang took it rarely.
"Oh, I'll taste the smoke too."
It's not that cigarettes can't be bought, but no one smokes them in the countryside, it's too expensive.
After lighting it, he took a puff, "Well, it's more comfortable to smoke than dry tobacco, but it's too weak." ”
It's still home-grown tobacco that is stronger than this.
The fourth Yang Guangan smoked a rare cigarette and asked him, "Big brother, tell me, what's the situation over there?" I've heard that a lot of people didn't come back! It's bitter over there. ”
Yang Guangchun sighed, and then told some of the situation over there.
I didn't pick the worst case to talk about.
Just hearing about wearing a thin gown, wearing sneakers, and eating less is shocking.
When he heard that his feet were frozen and he had cut off several toes, Yang Mancang felt distressed for a while.
"I'll see! Take it off and I'll take a look. ”
Seeing this, Yang Guangchun could only take off his socks.
"Oh, how did this happen?"
Sun Xiuhe was startled when she saw this kick.
I saw that on one foot, there was only the thumb, three thumbs and little finger left, and the others were gone.
The black chilblains left over from the past have not dissipated.
Yang Guangchun put on his socks.
"I'm good, but a lot of my feet and hands are frozen, and many more haven't come back."
At this he sighed.
Grandpa Yang Mancang thought of the scene he had just seen, and he was also distressed.
sighed, and could only comfort: "It's good for people to live!" ”
"Yes, it's a blessing to be alive."
Yang Guangchun sighed, then thought of something and said, "By the way, Dad, I'm going to get married." ”
"Ahh Tie the knot? With whom? ”
Yang Mancang was happy when he heard that his eldest son was getting married.
I thought about why my eldest son was gone, and he didn't even stay.
How can you not be happy to hear that he is going to get married now!
Yang Guangchun said that he was a little embarrassed to get married, but he still said honestly: "Well, the comrade-in-arms who came back with us, she is a hygienist." ”
"Ah, with you? So how old is she? Where are the people? ”
According to the time, it should be not small.
"She went with the army when she was 18 years old, two years later than us, 52 years later, 24 years old this year, we are not going to do it, just get a certificate in the city and have a meal with former comrades."
When Yang Mancang heard this, he bowed his head slightly.
"Well, it's okay to get married, hurry up and give birth to a grandson, and leave a queen for the Yang family."
Sun Xiuhe, who was from the fourth family next to him, grinned and said with a smile: "Dad, you are just worrying, the eldest brother has a job in the city, and he is afraid that he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law?" Isn't the yellow flower girl just picked?
Besides, the eldest brother has been fighting there for so many years, and the subsidy is incredible. I can miss him! Big brother, you said no! By the way, big brother, how much did they subsidize you? You've been over there for years! ”
The last sentence was still said to Yang Guangchun.
I was afraid that people would misunderstand, so I explained: "That, big brother, I don't mean anything else, if it's inconvenient for you to say this, just let me not ask." ”
Yang Guangchun smiled.
The salary thing, will definitely ask, this is unavoidable.
Then he said to Yang Mancang: "Dad, tell you something, it's about money." ”
Yang Mancang nodded: "Well, it's okay, you said, you keep the money yourself, we eat in the canteen in our village now, don't worry about eating and drinking, you also have a ration of other things in the city, and many things can't be spent even if you have money." ”
Zhao Jinhua frowned when she heard this.
Then he also sighed: "Yes, Guangchun, let's be honest with you, if you don't buy you anything when you get married, we are a little unhappy." When the time comes, I'll discuss it with your father.
What's the matter, you can't let people say that there is no one in our old Yang family!
However, our Yang family has always been an upside-down household in the village, and the task pig raised by their family in Guangping this year has been lost, and the 12 yuan subscription has not been settled this year! Otherwise, I will buy you a little more things. ”
After speaking, he sighed.
The corners of Yang Xiaole's mouth twitched when he heard this.
You always say that you don't have any money at home, you give some, and I'll buy it for you.
Yang Guangchun bowed his head slightly, pretending not to understand.
Then he looked at Yang Mancang and said, "Dad, don't blame me for what you said, but I have to make things clear."
I took a lot of money, 53 years later, I have been a deputy battalion, came back to give me a promotion, but the salary is still according to the deputy battalion 89 yuan a month, I was paid 6 years of salary, 5340 yuan, plus the previous salary, together with a total of 7324 yuan to subsidize me a little more. ”
(If you have any doubts about salary, you can check it!) 56 standards issued. )
As soon as these words came out, the people present were in an uproar.
7,000 dollars, what a concept.
Even Zhao Jinhua was moved.
At this time, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts.
Most people think that so much money is enough for the old man to spend if his fingers leak out.
Isn't the old man's own family?
Yang Guangchun also saw everyone's expressions, and then said to Yang Mancang: "Dad, except for the money that Hongying and I are going to get married and buy furniture, the rest has been sent by me to the families of my comrades-in-arms." ”
"Ahh Did you send it all to someone else? Big brother, why are you so confused? Why don't you keep a little of it yourself? Look at our current home, they are all poor jingles, you are good, give money to others? What about so much money? ”
The daughter-in-law of the fourth family, Sun Xiuhe complained when she heard that so much money had been given to others.
Yang Guangchun glanced at her and didn't say much, but said to Yang Mancang: "Dad, my life was exchanged for 167 lives of our entire company, and without them, I would have been lying in the ice cave a long time ago." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent for a while.
