Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 18 Grandpa's Teachings

Sure enough, Captain Tong raised his fist high, but put it down gently.

After putting it down, he even helped Chen Yang organize his clothes.

Captain Tong also had a smile on his face.

"Stinky boy, your eyes are the most poisonous in the whole team."

"I didn't see anything."

"Yang, I hope your kid's mouth can also be guarded by General Tie."

"I didn't say anything."

Captain Tong fumbled around his waist, and after a while, he took out two five-yuan bills.

Chen Yang snatched it over and put it in his pocket with a smile.

"Old boy, it's agreed, there will be no interest."

Captain Tong is rich and loan sharks, Chen Yang also knows this.

"Okay, I don't want your interest, but you have to promise me one request."

"Go. Tell me, what is the request?"

Captain Tong said: "Tong Xiaolong has nothing to do. Like you, he doesn't like to learn crafts, so you take him along."

Chen Yang immediately sighed, "I said, old boy, aren't you embarrassing me? I didn't touch the door myself, so how could I take him with me?"

Captain Tong snorted, "I know you can do it. In a word, do you bring it or not?"

Chen Yang smiled, "Damn it, do I dare not take it?"

Captain Tong also turned his anger into joy, "It's not too bad."

"It's decided. Old boy, I won't bring it this time, but I will bring it next time."

The next day, Chen Yang took his eldest sister, Chen Ping, and second brother, Chen Bing, and set off on the boat before dawn.

But grandpa got up early and insisted on going.

Chen Yang had no choice but to agree.

But Chen Yang was afraid that his grandfather would be tired, so he didn't let him rock the boat, and just sat in the boat.

In order to train the elder sister and the second brother, Chen Yang asked them to row the boat, the elder sister the big oar, and the second brother the pinch oar.

The eldest sister graduated from junior high school, but the brigade did not recommend her to go to high school, and her studies have ended.

The second brother is 13 years old, and he is in the first grade of junior high school, but he is not born to study. After three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, he is still a farmer after all.

Chen Yang pondered, more people are more powerful, cultivate the elder sister and the second younger brother, let them grow up early.

Chen Yang sat with his grandfather, and told him by the way that the old man had borrowed ten yuan from Captain Tong, and there was Captain Tong's request.

Grandpa usually doesn't talk much, he cherishes words like gold, and speaks clearly.

"Yang, dear brother, settle accounts tomorrow."

"Grandpa, I understand this truth. You have told me dozens of times, and I remember it."

"Yeah. The apprentice of the church, the master starved to death, do you understand?"

It was the first time Chen Yang heard these two sentences, "Grandpa, please explain."

Grandpa smiled and said, "I was a good carpenter when I was young. People learn from me, and I am willing to teach. But later, people can't finish their work, and I have no work to do. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see."

"Also, it's best not to go into business with friends and brothers."

"Why?" Chen Yang didn't understand again.

"Go and realize it yourself."

Grandpa pinched out the cigarette butt, leaned against the side of the boat, closed his eyes and dozed off.

Chen Yang stood up, replaced his elder sister and swung the oars, while seriously pondering on his grandfather's teachings.

There is an old man in the family, and there is still a treasure.

When the boat arrived at Hebu Wharf in the county seat, it was just dawn.

The supply and marketing agency is not at work yet.

Chen Yang took out two catties of food stamps and fifty cents, and asked his eldest sister and second brother to buy breakfast.

The eldest sister and the second brother ran to a nearby state-run restaurant and bought ten steamed buns and four glass bottles of soy milk.

One bottle of soy milk per person.Ten steamed buns, three each for Chen Yang and grandpa, two for each elder sister and second brother.

Grandpa doesn't drink soy milk. While chewing steamed buns, he uses his hand as a spoon to drink water from the river.

Chen Yang didn't stop him either. Grandpa wasn't afraid of the cold. He drank raw water all his life and couldn't get used to soy milk at all.

Chen Yang drank the water as well, kept the soy milk, and drank the water with his hands.

As soon as the family finished eating, Yang Chunsheng came to work by bicycle.
