hunting in 1986

After finishing dinner, after clearing and wiping everything on the table, Wang Yuan opened his high school math textbooks and scratch paper, planning to do some more exercises.

There was a gust of cold wind outside the window, and the blowing window frame made a clanging, clanging sound.

Li Yan was watching the weather forecast, so in order not to disturb Wang Yuan, she turned down the volume of the TV.

"Xiaoyuan, is there another practice problem?"

"Yeah, if you promise Xiaofang, let's get it done as soon as possible, or you'll always pretend that it's not easy to do anything in your heart."

"Well... how much do you think our family can get for writing this kind of textbook?" Li Yan asked curiously while breastfeeding the youngest child.

"I can't say well about this matter. Anyway, you can pay as much as you want. Even if they give you 1 yuan, we don't think it's too little. Don't get angry because of a little money, that's not good."

Wang Yuan feels that doing business with relatives is still quite "dangerous". If he gives less free time and the other party thinks he will give more, it is very likely that they will end up with each other in the end.

Li Yan nodded slightly: "You're right, that's fine, just give as much as you want."

After the weather forecast was over, a few commercials were placed, and the TV series started soon, but Li Yan didn't have the heart to watch the TV series, so she came over and sat on Wang Yuan's left side to watch him write the questions.

She hasn't studied much, and she envies scholars very much from the bottom of her heart. Not to mention high school, junior high school graduates feel very powerful in her eyes.

"What's all this? I don't understand."

"Power function, exponential function, and logarithmic function. It's quite simple and small practice questions. Make up a few choices, and then make a few choices, and the judgment question will do."

Li Yan felt that Wang Yuan was super good, and this was a question for high school students. You must know that many high school students will be admitted to college in the future!
Li Yan's adoring eyes made Wang Yuan very helpful. After more than an hour, he raised his arm: "Oh, my shoulders are a little sore."

"Then I'll pinch it for you...By the way, we still have apples at home. If you want to eat apples, I'll cut a plate for you."

After pinching Wang Yuan's arms for a while, Li Yan went down to cut apples again, and soon a large plate of sliced ​​apples came up.

In Wangjiatuner, not only the cooked vegetables are cheap, but the fruits are also very cheap. You can buy half a bag or a basket as soon as you buy it.

If you can't finish it, it will of course go bad, so just feed the bad ones to pigs, ducks, chickens and the like.

The three children fell asleep on the mats at the top of the kang. Time passed, and when Wang Yuan finished writing six pages of papyrus, there were sounds of walking and talking outside the yard.

Li Yan was still watching Wang Yuan write a question:
"The game of playing money is over, it's a little early today, it's only after nine o'clock... ahhh~"

"Are you sleepy? Let's go to bed after I finish this last question."

The nib of the pen scratched across the straw paper, and a little bit of ink smudged on the paper. Wang Yuan's handwriting was quite beautiful.

The main reason is that it is very, very embarrassing to write bad handwriting in this era. The illiteracy rate in this era is very high. Many people not only cannot read numbers, but also cannot write names, but for books, knowledge is very, very respected.

In the eyes of many people, knowing how to write is something to be proud of and show off, so it is natural to write with your heart.

As the night fell, the crickets outside the window stopped chirping, and Wang Yuan and his wife slept on the kang.

A few more days of leisurely leisurely days have passed.

When Wang Yuan wrote all the high school math problems, the postman delivered a letter.

The letter was sent by my younger sister Wang Qing, and there was a big burden along with it. Wang Yuan saw the letter after his mother called him over.

"Dad, Mom, Second Brother, I was assigned to teach at Peking University... Oh, Xiaoqing is now a university teacher." Wang Yuan was also very happy.

In Wang Qing's letter, apart from saying that she was assigned to Peking University, she also said that she would buy a house, that she is living well now, and plans to take her parents and sister Xiaodie to live in Yanjing.

Inside the baggage are some clothes, some pairs of shoes, some belonged to my parents, and some belonged to my grandparents.

"These leather shoes are too foreign, I'm afraid my grandma won't be able to wear them, haha~"

The old man was smoking the dry cigarette, and he ignored the smirking Wang Yuan, but said to his mother:
"If we don't go to Yanjing, let's stay in Wangjiatuner. We will be old farmers all our lives. Going to a big city is a crime."

"That's the reason, but why did Xiaoqing say she wants to buy a house? Shouldn't they share the house?" Mom frowned.

Wang Yuan licked the big white cat that came over: "I don't know much about it. They probably want to live in a dormitory now. I'm afraid they have to queue up for the house allocation. Besides, the allocated house is not very good."

"Then is she rich? The houses in Yanjing must be expensive, right?"

"Don't worry, my sister is rich. After a while, I will go to Yanjing and talk to her. If she has no money, I can support her a little bit."

The old man was very happy, picked up the wine bottle and drank it directly.According to his words - the eldest daughter is a glorious ancestor, not only became a college student, but now she has become a teacher of college students, and has begun to teach college students.

Still teaching college students at Peking University!
Only my mother said worriedly: "Is Xiaoqing's education level good? She is about the same age as the student, how can she teach others?"

In my mother's mind, all college teachers have to be old men and old ladies, the kind with extremely high education level, and the young ones can't teach.

Wang Yuan played at his mother's house for a while, and when he was about to leave, the big white cat meowed and ran after him.

Wang Yuan disliked that she had too many fleas, so the big white cat chased him all the way to the fork in the road, so let's take it back, it's good for Xiaotingzi to play with.

When he got home and saw Wang Yuan brought the big white cat, Xiao Tingzi was really happy, stroked the cat's fur lightly, and giggled happily.

Li Yan was peeling beans from a dustpan of old beans. The beans were really too old, so they didn't eat the skins, but only the beans inside.

"What did Xiao Qing say in her letter?"

"Let's say she's become a teacher at Peking University..." Wang Yuan recounted the situation in the letter to Li Yan. Li Yan was full of envy, and couldn't help but think of her sister Li Ping.

Wang Qing is Wang Yuan's younger sister, and Li Ping is her younger sister. She always compares them unconsciously in her heart.

"Hey~ If only Xiaoping had studied hard at the beginning, hey~ people are fate."

Sudden.

Li Yan heard the sound of drinking cold water, turned around and found that Wang Yuan was drinking cold water:
"Hey, why are you drinking cold water! There is hot water in the pot, how nice it is to drink hot."

"Ah~ I'm happy! It's better to drink something cold to quench my thirst!"

"You're a real person. I don't know what's good or bad. Drinking cold water can easily cause stomach upset."

This morning Wang Yuan was going to the city to buy some milk powder for the children, and left Wangjiatuner on a motorcycle early in the morning.

The autumn wind is bleak, the leaves are falling, and there are no crops in the field. Looking far away, there is an old farmer holding a whip and herding sheep.

After coming all the way to the city, Wang Yuan first went to the store to buy milk powder, put it in a fertilizer bag and tied it on the back seat, and stopped the motorcycle when passing by a big restaurant in the city.

The name of the restaurant has changed and so has the signboard.

The revolving glass door turned leisurely, and the welcoming guests in red uniform glanced at Wang Yuan and turned away.

This restaurant was originally jointly opened by Wang Yuan and Li Shen. Later, Wang Yuan withdrew his shares, and Li Shen fought with the people in the sub-district office. Now Li Shen has also completely withdrawn his shares.

"Time has passed, and many things have changed."

He took out the cigarette case and found that there was only one cigarette. After lighting it, he took a deep breath, followed by Feng Feng.

There are people coming and going on the street. Compared with a few years ago, there seems to be little change, but if you look closely, there seems to be a lot of changes.

Clothes are changing quietly, many old buildings on the streets have been demolished, and some new buildings, hotels and restaurants have appeared.

"Forget it, go to Zhao Xing's place to get two cigarettes and go back. Time has changed and things have changed. This is very normal and nothing sad."

He turned a corner on his motorcycle, and when he arrived at Zhao Xing's store, Zhao Xing, who was wearing a leather jacket, was sitting behind the counter drinking alone.

His body smelled of alcohol, his eyes were scarlet as if he had eaten a dead child.

"Zhao Xing, are you in the store? What's the matter, bring me two cigarettes."

"Huh? Wang Yuan!?" Zhao Xing rubbed his face and pointed to the cardboard box on the right:
"The top ones were bought, and the bottom ones were made by us. You can take whatever you want."

"Yo~ It's pretty good, are you afraid that the police will check you?" Wang Yuan took two fake Zhonghua cigarettes and put the money on the counter.

Although it is fake Zhonghua tobacco, the tobacco leaves used are all gold-grade, that is, the best tobacco leaves, so Wang Yuan quite likes to smoke this kind of tobacco.

Of course, although it is the best tobacco leaf, it doesn’t cost much to buy it directly from the farmers, plus it is packed into the cigarette case of Zhonghua Tobacco—the price is going up gradually.

"What's the matter with you? Have you been beaten?"

Wang Yuan moved a stool and sat opposite Zhao Xing, and he was not in a hurry to leave.

It turned out that he had quite a lot of friends in Lindu City, but Li Shen went to the provincial capital, Li Hang went abroad, and Sun Dagang took a group of bulky old brothers to the provincial capital Harbin.

Now Lindu City doesn't have many friends, and he often comes to Zhao Xing to buy cigarettes, so Zhao Xing can be regarded as a friend.

"Hey~ It wouldn't be so sad if someone beats me up." Zhao Xing also took a puff of cigarette:
"I know that I'm not a good person, so I have a strong ability to bear it. If a good person is beaten up or bullied, he may be so wronged that he can't survive the hurdle. A bad person like me won't."

"Haha, what's the matter with you?"

"Hey~ I just came back from Sanlongtun, and my father blasted me out with a broom. He scolded me so hard that I was ashamed of him, and he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with me."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Wang Yuan was a little silent for a moment, Zhao Xing's name was quite resounding in several villages near Sanlongtun.

This guy is too high-profile, bought a car, and occasionally brought a bunch of younger brothers home, wearing leather clothes and sunglasses, for fear that others would not know that he was a gangster.

Yes.

Zhao Xing and his group are not gangsters, they are real gangsters - rich and powerful, with many people, there are people on top, and a fairly strict organizational structure. They make a lot of money through illegal activities, and fighting is a regular occurrence.

Of course, Zhao Xing and the others didn't look much different from ordinary people, and they weren't crazy, they wouldn't fight and kill for no reason, so Wang Yuan wasn't afraid of them either.

The villagers are afraid of the gangsters, but they also look down on those who join the gangsters. If they can't provoke them, they can hide them. I'm afraid Zhao Xing's parents will be isolated in the countryside.

When his father had any resentment, he spread it on Zhao Xing. Others were afraid of him, but his father was not afraid of him.

"It's a matter of... making a fool of yourself, but don't be too high-profile, donate some money to your village's primary school, or find a way to benefit the villagers.

The villagers will naturally treat your parents better if they are soft on people, and your parents will not always scold you when their lives are better. "

"Cut~ I won't do them any favors. If I don't beat them up, they should be burned." Zhao Xing refused to agree, but he still listened to Wang Yuan's words in his heart.

He felt that Wang Yuan's words were still reasonable.

"Hey~ Recently, I feel that there are problems with my thinking. I feel that there are no good people in this world, but all bad people. This may have something to do with the people I usually come into contact with."

Zhao Xing confides to Wang Yuan, these words will not be said to his little brothers:
"I usually come into contact with thieves, fake certificates, fake medicines, robbers, casinos, kilns, usury, smugglers, counterfeiters, extortionists, pornographic , and there are murderers...the underground world, an underground world that ordinary people don't have much access to."

Finally, Zhao Xing added another sentence:
"There are good people in this world, right?"

"Of course there are good people out there! But the people you've come into contact with are too...too awesome."

"Anyway, I can always meet them when I go to the dance hall, or friends will introduce them to me. Let's take murderers as an example. Anyway, they themselves say that they have killed people, and I don't know if they are true or not.

Many of them came here from within the pass, and they may disappear after a while. I don't know if they were killed by someone or they ran away to other places. "

Zhao Xing took another sip of wine:
"Actually, I don't regret becoming what I am now. I finally figured it out. People must be bad people, not good people...

Bad people can do both bad and good things; good people can only do good things and not bad things, obviously the bad people are free!Hahaha~"

Wang Yuan also laughed, thinking about Zhao Xing's words.

Zhao Xing continued: "I think my thoughts are okay, people should live freely, the more rules and regulations there are, the more painful it is to live, why do people live in pain all their lives.

If I hadn't fought on my own, then I might have planted the land for the rest of my life like my father, and I could not earn a lot of money after working so hard. In the end, I was despised and poor and looked down upon by others...

Ma, do farmers suffer less than workers?Most of them can be said to be equivalent, so it’s fine if the money given is less, and people look down on them, which means they suffer materially and spiritually, and suffer a lot!Why! ? ? "

"Calm down, calm down." Wang Yuan quickly comforted the excited Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing took a deep puff of the cigarette, calmed down a bit and said, "Because I came from the countryside, and I was really looked down upon by many people in the city, so I always think about these things.

Don't compare with other people, just compare with workers. Farmers really suffer too much, too honestly~ Who caused this big loss?Damn, every day cheats me, so I don't have a good impression of our country, nor do I have a good impression of society. "

Wang Yuan was silent for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

After complaining, Zhao Xing poured Wang Yuan another glass of wine:
"Come and drink, I always feel that something is going to happen recently, and I don't know if I am thinking too much, so I should keep a low profile recently."
