Chapter 81 Going Home for the New Year ([-])

In the morning of the first day of the new year, firecrackers sounded continuously in the mountain village until dawn.

Before Yang Qianfeng got up, people from the village came to pay New Year's greetings. This is a habit in the village. Every year on the first day of the new year, people from the village would visit the house to pay New Year's greetings. Every time they went to a house, they would turn around and say some blessings before leaving. , Because knowing that Yang Qianfeng is back, some people just sit still and want to talk to him.

Yang Yanzu was entertaining people, Yang Qianfeng quickly got up, greeted the captain Yang Lishou who was sitting in the hall, Yang Zhengrong, whom Lan Mei hated the most, and his eldest son Yang Liang, and others, then went to wash his face and came back Said: "It's nice to be at home. You don't have to worry about going to the police right away, and you can get a good night's sleep."

Yang Lishou smoked a cigarette and said: "It's not easy to do your job, and there are many things in the city, which is even more busy. Let's rest for a few days when we come back."

"No, I'll go back in the morning of the third day."

"Leave in the morning of the third day of junior high school! Then we will have dinner at my house at noon, and we will have a good talk. Help me educate my disobedient second son."

Yang Qianfeng hadn't agreed to the captain yet, Yang Zhengrong, who had been smiling all the time, hurriedly made an appointment: "That night, come to my house for dinner."

Yang Liang then said: "Yes, come to my house for dinner at night, and I will accompany you to have a good drink."

Yang Qianfeng was about to speak, but Lan Mei smiled and said, "We will have dinner at the captain's house at noon, but we have already arranged for dinner at my second brother's house."

Yang Zhengrong said: "Go to your second brother's house tomorrow! He will be at my house tonight."

Lan Mei said firmly, "No, we've already talked about it."

Yang Zhengrong took a step back and said, "Can't it be tomorrow at noon?"

"No way, tomorrow we have to go to the homes of grandparents, aunts, aunts and other elders to pay New Year's greetings." Lan Mei winked at Yang Qianfeng and said.

Yang Qianfeng quickly said: "I accept your wishes. I haven't been home for the New Year in seven years. What do these elders say? I have to go and pay them a New Year's greeting."

Yang Zhengrong said disappointedly: "It seems that I can't invite you."

"Don't be so polite, they are all from the same Murakami. Next time I come back, I will treat you to dinner."

"How dare you, you are a noble person and the most promising person in our village, it is our honor to invite you to dinner at home." Yang Zhengrong smoked and continued, "We have heard about all the important things you did in the city. , that Murakami doesn't admire it."

Lan Mei shook her head when she heard this, thinking, a few years ago, Murakami was saying that Yang Qianfeng could be successful as a soldier?After retiring from the army, I am not a farmer.In fact, Lan Mei is not saying that being a farmer is not good, but that the occasion and tone of Yang Zhengrong's speech is to ridicule Yang Qianfeng's worthlessness.

Yang Qianfeng said: "What do you admire? I am a policeman, and what I do is what a policeman should do."

Yang Zhengrong was about to speak in a serious manner, but Yang Liang rushed to say: "You can't say that. Last time I saw you arresting people in front of the movie theater, how many people applauded for you, you are different from them. I also heard that the current order in the city Being so good and so clean is your doctrine, and the county leaders praised you at the meeting, which is really amazing."

Yang Zhengrong went on to say: "When I was young, I saw that you were promising, so I often used irony to stimulate you, and now you are indeed promising."

After hearing this, Lan Mei couldn't help laughing, shook her head and walked out of the gate, thinking that there was such a shameless person.

Yang Lishou also can't understand Yang Zhengrong's behavior. He has always thought that he is great, and that others are inferior to him. He looks down on people for being small, and often laughs at them. In the past, it was a way to laugh at others, but now it is a way to stimulate and encourage them.He looked at the disappointed Yang Zhengrong and said: "Qianfeng was upright when he was a child, and the cattle herders from other villages ran away in fright when they heard Yang Dasi came. Niuwa. Although he didn’t pass the college entrance examination, he was the best among the people in the village who took the college entrance examination. Of course, he is promising. What is the praise from the county leaders? Will there be higher praise from the leaders in the future?”

Yang Qianfeng said embarrassingly: "Serious words, serious words, I didn't expect the people in the village to be so kind to me!"

"Are you seeking truth from facts?" Yang Zhengrong returned to the subject and said, "I have another matter to bother you today. I have a distant cousin who said that his son, Zhang Biao, should be taken care of by you. He came here specially for this matter and told me not to worry about it." I will tell you no matter what, and ask you to help take good care of him."

Yang Qianfeng said happily: "Okay, I will help you with this matter."

Yang Zhengrong didn't expect Yang Qianfeng to agree, and said happily: "I'm so happy, if my distant cousin hears this, don't mention how happy I am, thank you!"

While talking about the old militia battalion commander, the current village secretary, Yang Ji’an, came. Yang Qianfeng shook hands with him warmly and said hello. .”

Yang Lishou said to the secretary: "Originally, I was going to call you at your house, but I just came. I came to my house at noon to accompany Qianfeng for a drink."

"My drinking capacity is not enough to accompany the striker, but it is not bad to sit with him."

Yang Qianfeng said: "How can I drink that much?"

"I don't remember. One night before you joined the army, you were at Hu Yong'an's house, and each of you drank a catty of white wine."

"I remember, I drank too much that time, and I forgot the next day after filling out the registration form."

Then the people at home changed from group to group...

Before Yang Qianfeng went to Yang Lishou's house for dinner, he specifically said to his mother, "Call Hu Yongan, Xie Xiaogen, Yang Xiaorong, Wu Xiaocai, Chu Erfu and his wife to have dinner tonight."

Mom happily agreed, and asked to come back from the second child's house early.Later, Yang Qianfeng asked Lan Mei to notify the above-mentioned people.

In Yang Qianfeng's second year in the army, his second brother Yang Ganfeng went to the Wang family three miles away to recruit a relative. The old Wang family had only one daughter. It doesn't matter, Yang Yanzu disagreed at first and dragged on for a while, but the second brother was determined to go, and finally Yang Yanzu had to agree.

In the second year, the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law gave birth to a son named Wang Xuejun, whose mother's surname was Wang. In the fourth year, a daughter was born, whose father's surname was Yang Xiaoying. The family lived a happy life.

After having lunch at Yang Lishou's house at noon, I went to my second brother Yang Jinfeng's house with my brothers and sisters. Yang Qianfeng gave the two little nephews a 50 yuan lucky money each, because Yang Qianfeng wanted to treat someone to dinner. They left early, but Yang Jinfeng insisted that they have an early dinner before going home.

We had dinner at Yang Lishou's house at noon. The main purpose of our meeting was to have a heart-to-heart talk. Yang Qianfeng originally wanted to have a few more drinks with his old colleagues in the evening, and invited Yang Lishou and Yang Ji'an to participate, so he refused to drink. Yang Lishou and Yang Ji'an had already agreed in the evening Others are not allowed to participate, but they say that if you don’t have two cups during the Chinese New Year, it’s not exciting, you must drink it. In order not to spoil everyone’s happiness, Yang Qianfeng drank more than two taels of wine, but this little wine will not be available on the way to the second brother’s house .

The second brother wants to stay for dinner, he will definitely be unhappy if he doesn’t drink some wine, Yang Qianfeng happily took the initiative to drink a few glasses during the meal, as expected the second brother laughed happily and said: "The third one drinks so much, Eat some food and go first, there are still many people waiting for you at home! Others eat and drink slowly."

At this time, Yang Qianfeng was half full and in excellent condition. On the way back, he thought: In the past seven years, his colleagues did not fully realize their personal wishes as they imagined back then, and they still insisted on their post as a private teacher.The biggest change is that they are all married and have children as parents: Xie Xiaogen married his classmate in junior high school, an employee of the township cement factory; Yang Xiaorong married the sales chief of the township stone powder factory; The oldest student who just graduated from elementary school at the age of 16, it was not because she did not study well, but because she started school late, and opened a small department store in front of her house.

It was just getting dark when Yang Qianfeng walked into the courtyard, the door of the hall was wide open, the house was brightly lit, four people were playing red five-star (a game of poker), and several people around were watching.

Yang Qianfeng entered the door with fists in his arms and said, "Teachers and classmates, I wish you all good health, smooth work, happy family and good luck in the New Year!"

Almost at the same time, everyone said, "Same, same.

Xie Xiaogen didn't catch the cards well, so he immediately took Yang Xiaorong's cards and mixed them with his own cards and shouted: "Auntie serves."

Hu Yong'an grabbed a good hand, but regretfully said: "I wasted my good hand, can't I play this one and serve it?" He reluctantly put down the cards.

Yang Xiaorong and Xie Xiaogen faced each other, so they laughed and said, "It's just in time for you to come back, striker, otherwise we would have to drink five glasses of wine if we lost this hand."

The original principal was transferred to the township central primary school, and Wu Xiaocai is the principal of the current primary school in Baiguo Village. He pushed down his glasses and smiled and said: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you are so shameless, do you take me as the principal seriously?" ?”

Xie Xiaogen said with a smile: "Didn't you often say that you should be a good example in front of the school and students, and pay attention to your image, and you can play regardless of age and position when playing?"

"It's you playing tricks, and you'll be punished with three glasses of wine later." Wu Xiaocai pretended to be angry and said, "You still don't help serve the food."

Because everyone else went to Yang Ganfeng's house, only his parents and sister-in-law were at home, Yang Qianfeng asked them to serve a meal together but they refused, Yang Yanzu said: "Leave us alone, you can have a good chat together."

Let's do it together, and the dinner will begin in a while.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Erfu said: "Being a teacher is actually a very good profession. There are two vacations a year, but the salary of a private teacher is too low. It will be fine if you become a regular."

Xie Xiaogen picked up the wine glass and said: "Then it's better for you to be a master blacksmith. Take care of yourself. You can make free money and make a lot of money. I entrust you with your good words to make us all become full-time teachers. I toast you."

Yang Xiaorong put down his chopsticks and said, "To be honest, I really like the profession of a teacher. If I didn't like it, I would have left."

Hu Yongan said: "I am a disabled person. I can't do physical work. I can only teach wholeheartedly. I look forward to becoming a full-time worker one day."

Wu Xiaocai responded with a glass of wine to Yang Qianfeng and said, "Anyway, you came out of our school, and it is also the glory of our school. Now we often use you to educate and guide students in class! You are well now, and you have come out ahead. " Pointing to Xie Xiaogen and the other three people, he said: "They are all good teachers, teaching wholeheartedly, but I just don't know when we can give them a fair treatment."

Yang Qianfeng said: "The country attaches so much importance to education now, the team of teachers must grow stronger, and the country's training is too late. I think as long as we work hard, there will definitely be opportunities to become regulars. , so besides work, I need to read more books.”

Wu Xiaocai nodded and said, "That's the point. Did you hear that? You still need to make more preparations, otherwise you will regret it if you don't grasp the opportunity when it comes."

There were only a thousand glasses of wine to meet a confidant, and everyone talked a lot about education, public security, past, present and future, and drank one bottle after another until everyone was almost done drinking.

On the second day of junior high school, Yang Qianfeng and his brothers and sisters went to relatives to pay New Year's greetings together, as if returning to the feeling of celebrating the New Year before joining the army.

Politely declined the dinner of many people in Murakami, and got on the bus back to the city on the morning of the third day...
