Chapter 33 Adapting to the Times to Survive
On the way back to Huanggang, Luo Xueyun opened his eyes, but he was walking completely consciously.
He was reflecting on himself, why after the cabbage was grown, he didn't think about using the storage space, and he didn't think about making more money.
Is it because the father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law dare not find themselves unhappy anymore, and the eldest sister, second sister, younger brother and sister only look forward to themselves, so that their mentality floats?
Or do you have this inertia yourself?
In his previous life, although he was difficult and difficult, he completed compulsory education, went to school and went to work as a child, and knew a lot of things on the surface, but in fact, he had been completely polished into a fixed shape under the constraints of various dogmas.
His subconscious thinking of working as a wage earner is actually no different from that of Daddy Luo and others, there is a deep-rooted concept that labor should be exchanged for value, he has heard of, learned, and the method of creating wealth from reality to fiction has no practical experience at all.
Take Cao Guoliang and Zhang Qing, the young children of Huanggang Wolong and Phoenix, for example, although the former makes money by selling vegetables, the majority of the profits are still dumping the county's commodities to the countryside to make the difference, and the latter is even more adept, already understanding the importance of mastering the means of production, and will use others to create public opinion offensives.
In this era when the old rules are broken and the new fashion has not yet been fully formed, reckless people are untied, and Luo Xueyun has to keep pace with the times even if he reads more books and sees more things.
Cao Guoliang is bold and black-hearted, Zhang Qing is loyal to the mainland conspiracy, there are these people, you don't conform to the times, grow yourself, how can you fight with them, do you want to demand them with the rules of his time?
Luo Xueyun, who figured it out, looked up to the sky and laughed, raised his arms and shouted: "Only by adapting to the times can you survive." ”
"Second guy, what are you pulling in?"
The immature voice woke Luo Xueyun up, and he looked at a group of small radish heads around the ridge next to the ditch, chattering.
"It's my brother, don't you go home from school to feed the mosquitoes in the field?"
Brother Deflated is the eldest grandson of Luo Shixin, seven years old this year, he goes to school in the village elementary school, and the big name Luo Xueyun doesn't remember, he only knows that he was born very quiet, he doesn't like to talk and cry, and the older generation laughs at him for being a "deflated bag" (things are shriveled and not lively), and slowly Brother Deflated became his nickname.
"Big brother picks rice planting bubbles for us."
Brother Qi pointed to the ridge and said.
In the dense grass, the nine-year-old Suo'er dragged the roots of the tree with one hand and stretched out the old one hand to pick the thorny rice planting bubbles, and below was a small stream, and if one accidentally fell, he had to eat enough bamboo shoots to fry meat.
This posture is really thrilling, even Luo Xueyun didn't dare to disturb, and looked back at Brother Qi'er, who was obviously seven years old, but he was thin and small, his face was dirty, and his only pair of eyes looked extraordinarily bright in the dusk evening.
Losing his father since he was a child, it is like losing his mother, and following the difficult life of his grandparents, Luo Xueyun felt pity, looked at his cloth bag and said, "What kind of treasure is it, so bulging?" ”
Brother Qi took it down with great difficulty and handed it to Luo Xueyun, he was distracted and looked at the bustle by the stream, but he didn't expect the small schoolbags to be so heavy, he was caught off guard with one hand, and he almost didn't catch it.
"Can the second guy open it and see what's in it?"
Brother Mi sniffed, nodded and said, "It's going to be given to the second guy." ”
Luo Xueyun reached out and grabbed his pocket, a short handkerchief appeared out of thin air, wiped his nose clean, and said, "You still have a gift for the second guy." ”
With great curiosity, he lifted the button of the cloth schoolbag, and in addition to books, there were all kinds of stones, ranging from round pebbles washed by the water to rough and variegated rocks.
"Where did you carry it back from?"
"I picked it up by the stream."
"What are you doing picking up so many stones, playing with the second guy catching stones?"
"My grandfather said that the second guy's house is built a brick house, and in the future, the floor will be paved with stones, so I want to pick up some for the second guy."
"Can you carry it so heavy?"
"I can carry it, my grandfather said, it was the second guy who took my family to grow vegetables, so that my family had a better life, so I have to remember the good of the second guy."
Looking at the child's firm eyes, Luo Xueyun couldn't tell what he felt in his heart for a while, he closed his eyes and opened them again, and said with a smile: "The second guy will make a magic trick for you." ”
Brother Mi was puzzled: "What is magic?" ”
"It's a trick." Luo Xueyun closed the schoolbag, secretly took out the stones, and put the candy stored in the storage space, "Open it when you get home." ”
Brother Qi put the schoolbag on his back and said, "It seems to be a lot lighter." ”
Luo Xueyun patted him lightly on the shoulder and said: "These stones by the river can't be used for the floor, the second guy has to buy someone else's professional production, and remember not to pick up stones anymore." ”
"Is that so, my grandfather said that people can use any stone when they build a brick house."
"People are people, and the second guy is the second guy, it's different."
Brother Qi nodded solemnly: "Yes, the second guy is different from others." ”
The lock was finally picked, and he brought his friends over to share it with his younger brothers and sisters who were watching.
"Do you want it, second guy, it's sweet to plant seedlings."
Luo Xueyun looked at the rice planting bubble held by Suo'er, about the size of a finger, red and purple, it was called a bright drip, and he wanted to drool when he looked at it.
He gently took one and put it in his mouth, and it was completely sour and sweet.
The scientific name of the rice planting bubble should be the thorn berry, and it looks like a miniature version of the strawberry, because it always grows on the ridge of the grass and trees in the season of rice planting, so it is named rice planting bubble.
In Huanggang, this thing is on par with the white thatched needles growing in the thatch in March, the tender lotus canopy in the pond in June, and the crisp chestnut on the mountain in August.
Luo Xueyun tasted the sweet and sour taste of thornberries, and felt more and more that growing fruits was more promising than growing vegetables.
"Suo'er, you are the boss, you have to set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters, although this kind of stream is a shallow ditch, it's no problem to drown children, don't take them to this side."
Suo'er said aggrievedly: "They have to come with me, I told them that there are snakes here, and they are not afraid." ”
"If you don't come, they won't come with you and pick up the rice planting bubbles that are within reach of them and are in a safe place."
"What you can pick casually is long gone."
Luo Xueyun clasped his hands together, opened them suddenly, and a handful of candy suddenly jumped out.
"Toffee!"
The lock screamed, and a whole bunch of children pounced.
Luo Xueyun nodded and motioned for them to take it, and said, "As long as you are obedient, don't go to the water to play, and don't do dangerous things, the second guy will reward you with delicious ......."
The children were completely fallen, and they were divided on the spot, and even the rice planting bubbles fell out of favor, and Suo'er took the lead and said that he would take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
Brother Qi followed the army up to Luopo, returned home, opened the schoolbag, and all kinds of snacks rushed out, including toffee, hard candy, gummies, bubble gum jumping candy, there are so many kinds of these things, he has only seen them from afar in the glass cabinet of the consignment store.
The fifth aunt, who was busy cooking, was startled when she saw it, and hurriedly asked, "Good grandson, where did you get so many things?" ”
Brother Qi truthfully told Luo Xueyun about his tricks.
The fifth aunt was silent for a long time after listening to this, and said slowly: "Since it was given to you by the leaves, keep it for food, and when you see you later, remember to thank him." ”
Brother Mi nodded heavily and beckoned his younger siblings to come over.
In the evening, Luo Shixin came back, and the fifth aunt informed him of the matter.
The five guys didn't speak for a long time after listening, beating their disabled right leg and sighing constantly.
"When I saw the leaves at the construction site, he didn't mention the stubble at all, and specially asked me to bring more food back and give it to the children, this baby is a good child."
