Xu Yunqin also expressed his behavior politely. He didn't have much affection for Liang Yong, nor did he have much dislike. It's just such a bland and tepid, not salty and not light relationship. Fang Caiyu is the kind of person who can't rub half a grain of sand in her eyes, but she is open to Xu Yunqin, maybe Xu Yunqin's righteous act makes her speechless, or maybe there are other reasons. In short, Fang Caiyu really didn't say more than half of the unfavorable words to Xu Yunqin.

Yun Qin went to visit Zhangshu Po a week before Liang Yong's illness, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, but this old woman refused to stop her words, so Yun Qin had to listen hard. It was nothing more than to persuade him to reconcile with his father and care about his marriage. For these things, Yun Qin listened and forgot at the same time, and when he went in one ear, he came out of the other. He pretended to listen to it all on the surface, for he kept nodding his head in front of the old woman. Zhangshu Po must be sincere, but Xu Yunqin blames her perfunctorily.

Fang Caihe seems to be dormant like a winter insect recently. Now Xu Zhiguo basically doesn't go to the mountains to wander around. He only moved up the mountain step by step with his hands behind his back before the harvest to supervise the labor of his sons, and Jin Xiaoju took his grandchildren at home. Yuntao is already the father of two children, and the family's farm work has been passed down from his father nine times out of ten. Xu Yunqin has never had anything to do with the Xu family, and Xu Yuntao has not done anything for his brother. Therefore, Xu Zhiguo and Xu Yunqin, the father and son, still go their own way and do their own work, and the contradictions of decades cannot be resolved at all. Even if Jin Xiaoju tried her best, it would be in vain. Not only did he disagree with his husband, but he also said he disobeyed his son.

Time passes, and the years fly by. The silent village of Shanghu has been repeating itself year after year. That kind of déjà vu is the years, like an ox cart, not in a hurry or slow, orderly and gradual. But it is inevitable that the old will be renewed, and the long night of dead silence will eventually be pierced by the light of dawn. The most feudal and rigid Shanghu Village could not stop the spring breeze of reform, and a wave of new houses soon flooded the entire Shanghu Village. As if overnight, the old houses were covered with new ones that had been pressed from all sides. From the outside, there are no longer so many low and dilapidated houses. On the periphery of Bao Yumei's new house, another wave of construction is coming.

Land in the countryside is cheap and economical, and even more affordable is labor. Simple rural people have a tradition of helping each other, and they rarely need others to pay labor remuneration while helping others, and this pure mutual help nature greatly relieves the financial pressure and enthusiasm of peasants to build their own houses. You help others, and in turn, others come back to help you when you need them, and this fine tradition has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has not gone out of tune to this day. The Fang people who live in the dilapidated courtyard house have also surged with this craze, and they have also begun to prepare funds, scraping together the initial funds for building the house, so that everyone comes to help, and the labor cost is very small. In addition to the necessary materials, plus some building materials that can be owed on credit, it is relatively easy to build a house.

But in this way, every family also has a heart disease, that is, at the end of every year, each family becomes a debtor, with a few tens of thousands and tens of thousands. As a result of the Housing Improvement Campaign, people are in a debt crisis, and under the impetus of this crisis, the surplus labor force or regular labor force in the family has gone out to work to earn money to pay off the debt. The young people, middle-aged people and even some elderly people in the village are pouring out of their homes with the wave of migrant work. The elderly, children, and women left behind in the village have become a vital force in cultivating the land, planting crops, raising livestock, and raising children. This change has led to the abandonment of large tracts of land, which has led to a significant increase in the cost of cultivation, but food prices have remained stagnant.

Although Shanghu Village has learned to advance backward in the tide of reform, after all, it has also learned to imitate in the past few years, and has also tasted the sweetness of working outside the home farm is far better than farming at home.

Xu Yunqin was also a prophet who went out to work, but he didn't earn the first pot of gold in his life. On the contrary, due to the betrayal of his wife Fang Caili and the fall of the Fang family, Xu Yunqin was dragged to death, and since then he has not taken another step in Shanghu Village.

The population living in the courtyard is getting smaller and smaller, except for Fang Qiuping's family in the early years, the first to move out of the courtyard is Bao Yumei's family. On the day of the move, Bao Yumei gathered all her relatives, friends and neighbors to dinner. More than a dozen tables of banquets were neatly placed in the hall of his new house, and more than 100 people were all smiling. The banquet was held in the deafening sound of firecrackers, which was a step higher than when Bao Yumei married her daughter Fang Tingting.

Bao Yumei naturally invited Fang Caihe again. But Fang Caihe himself did not come to her banquet, Li Kemin attended the banquet generously, witnessing the history of this sister-in-law's family, and also witnessing the complete defeat of his wife in the decades of struggle between his sister-in-law.

Fang Caihe didn't participate in Bao Yumei's banquet, but it was more rational to let Li Kemin come over. On the one hand, there is Fang Caihe's helplessness and helplessness that he is unwilling to fail. At the same time, Fang Caihe asked Li Kemin to represent him at Bao Yumei's banquet, which also eased the contradiction between the two sides, which is a positive side. Bao Yumei is now far away from the courtyard and Fang Caihe's residence, but Bao Yumei still invited Fang Caihe to participate in her banquet at this time, and the generosity she showed also made the hearts of the two families one step closer.

Xu Yunqin relied on the relationship between neighbors and was also on Bao Yumei's invitation list, of course, none of them were Bao Yumei's important guests. Bao Yumei's important guests are naturally some leaders in the town, her own rich relatives and friends, and village cadres who hold real power, which Bao Yumei has not changed from beginning to end. These guests were arranged in a room on the second floor by the west, and these guests could naturally enjoy the cool air conditioning alone, and they were far away from the strong smell of sweat, bad breath, body odor and the strong smell of inferior cigarettes in the hall. Of course, their status also symbolizes the nobility and wealth of the place. Bao Yumei was able to invite them to her new home, and Bao Yumei's life was not in vain.

How can other neighbors who have been relocated one after another compare with Bao Yumei's family. They don't have as much money as Bao Yumei, they don't have Bao Yumei's broad horizons, and they don't have as rich social resources as Bao Yumei. All these factors add up, and you will feel your own inadequacy and insignificance. Competition requires strength and resources, and meaningless competition and sacrifice are undoubtedly foolish. Therefore, there is no need to be strong. Although the relocation of neighbors also requires a banquet for relatives, friends and neighbors, the level of opening and the level of invitation are very different.

Fang Rende died in the autumn of the year his youngest son Fang Yunyang gave birth to his second child. Fang Yunyang gave birth to a boy because of his first child, and according to the family planning policy at the time, he was not allowed to have a second child. The town's family planning department conducted ideological criticism and education on Xu Yunyang's violation of the family planning policy. Because Xu Yunyang took his wife to evade family planning, Fang Rende was affected a little, and the town family planning cadres reported to the town party committee office after criticizing and educating Fang Rende. The town made a decision to punish Comrade Rende with a major demerit in the party. The second son Fang Yunxin was sentenced to three years in prison by the court for intentional injury because he injured his wife Zhang Aizhen, Fang Rende was dying, Fang Yunxin had not been released from prison, Fang Rende received such a punishment in his later years, naturally he felt that his face was dull, and as soon as his heart was on fire, it aggravated the course of the disease. His third grandson, Fang Yunyang, and the second boy died less than four months after landing.

Zhu Xiuya and Li Zhutao both died in different months of the same year. When he died, Zhu Xiuya was seventy and nine, and Li Zhutao was eighty and two, and these old people all died well.
