Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 3, the biggest dream is to eat a piece of meat (asking for investment, asking for comments)
The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and he was wearing blue homespun clothes that had been washed white.

Lost a lot of teeth too.

Smoking dry tobacco for a long time, the teeth are smoked and have a mouthful of old yellow teeth.

After the old man came in, he saw his daughter-in-law wiping her tears, and he sighed.

Taking a puff of tobacco, he said to the eldest grandson next to him: "Xiao Gang, take Xizi and the others out for a while, I have something to say with your father and the others."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaogang looked at his mother, nodded, and led the three of them to the main room.

The old man glanced at Yang Xiaole on the bed, but didn't let him go out.

Then he took out a small purse from his pocket and handed it over:

"When your mother was around, the two of us put it away, thinking that we would take it out when we were in trouble at home, who would have thought that she would leave so early.

Put away your things, and if you have time, go to the city to exchange money.

Xiao Le's grades have always been very good, even if he is trying to sell everything, he must be allowed to study. Whether our old Yang family can produce a college student depends on him. "

Talking to his son, he stuffed something into the hands of his daughter-in-law.

Without saying anything else, he smoked a cigarette and left.

After the old man left, Wang Qiuju looked at the things in his hand strangely for a while.

He glanced at his husband Yang Guangzhi.

Then he opened the small sachet.

"Oh, my mother!"

After opening it for a look, Wang Qiuju hurriedly covered the things tightly again.

He hurriedly said to the big girl who just came in: "Damei, go and lock the door! Hurry up."

Although Yang Damei was surprised when he saw this, he followed his mother's instructions and came to the main room and closed the door.

After she came back, Wang Qiuju asked several times, "Is the door latch ready?"

After confirming that it was fastened, she thought for a while, and said to her eldest son, "Gangzi, take them to the main room. If someone comes, don't open the door without my notice, do you hear me?"

"Mom, what's the matter? What did grandpa give you?"

Yang Xiaogang was surprised by his mother's actions for a while, guessing that his grandfather gave him something good.

"Go as soon as I tell you, do you hear me?"

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaogang could only reluctantly take his younger sister and younger brother out.

As for Yang Xiaole, of course he was still in the room.

After the people left, Yang Guangzhi asked strangely: "What did dad give you?"

Hearing her man's words, Wang Qiuju carefully opened the small purse and dumped the things on the kang.

I saw 4 things clanging and falling down inside.

A gold ring with a small piece of red jade set in it.

And a golden bean and two silver dollars.

Yang Guangzhi was surprised when he saw this thing: "This... why does Dad have this thing?"

After speaking, he picked up the ring and looked at it.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju muttered: "Needless to say, it must belong to Mr. Wu's rich family. His family was the richest back then... (Should you understand what that means?)"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole held a golden bean curiously and looked at it.

Mao estimated that there should be one or two grams, and the specifics have to be weighed.

Visual inspection, a few together should be less than ten grams.

Now gold is a thing because of the introduction of the gold and silver management regulations, and there is basically no gold on the surface among the people.

A small amount of gold jewelry can be held.

But such things as big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker, no one dared to put them on the bright side.

However, in order to encourage people to take out the gold they have saved, there are also anonymous purchases in the city.

According to Zhang Laohan, it costs 3.08 yuan per gram.

There are more than a dozen dollars together.

As for silver dollars, the current exchange rate is one silver dollar for one dollar.

But for the Yang family who still owes the village money after one year, this is already a huge sum of money.

As for the Wu Laocai that my mother mentioned, he used to be a well-known squire and rich man in the neighborhood, but he didn't belong to their Zhuangzi, but to the Zhuangzi next door.

How this thing came about, naturally needless to say.

Just as he was about to look at the ring in his father's hand, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing this movement, Wang Qiuju and Yang Guangzhi froze for a moment.

Then Wang Qiuju hurriedly put away the things.

While collecting it, she also cried: "Oh, how are you going to live these days! Woooooo..."

He opened the wooden box next to the bed and threw the things into it.

It was locked immediately.

At the same time, she winked at her husband.

Seeing this, Yang Guangzhi went out with a sullen face and opened the door.

Then voices came from the living room.

Yang Guangzhi looked at the woman at the door, frowned and said, "Xiuhe! Why are you here? The fourth child has another opinion?"

"Hey, third brother, look at what you said, how to divide, that's what father decides, and our family's Guang'an doesn't count."

The woman walked in while talking: "What's the matter? Why is the door still locked in broad daylight!"

"Aunt Four!"

Seeing someone coming in, Yang Xiaole could only say hello.

Separating the family is a matter for the elders. Although he is upset, he can't talk about it, otherwise it will spread that his mother, Wang Qiuju, has been stabbed in the back.

Said the tutor was not good.

Sun Xiuhe nodded and hummed, which was a response.

Then he looked at Wang Qiuju who was sitting in front of the Kang and wiping tears.

She walked over with a smile: "Hey, Qiu Ju, look at why you are still crying. If you feel it is unfair, you can talk about it when the old uncles in the village come over!"

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju sneered.

As for family matters, as long as the old man doesn't change his mind, whoever decides for you.

If the old man changed his mind, he would not live the rest of his life and wait for Zhao Jinhua to make trouble.

Seeing that she was silent, Sun Xiuhe glanced around, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law three, why did dad come here just now? Did he give you something?"

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she was furious.

Stand up straight away.

"Father of the old family, you are here to see a joke, right? The old man gave you all the good land, and our pigs will also be taken away. Touch your conscience, are you unconscionable for saying this? ?”

While talking, he said angrily: "Get out, get out for me."

Seeing this, Sun Xiuhe was also suspicious for a while.

I just came to this house after watching my father-in-law go home, and now the door is locked when I come here.

There must be ghosts.

But looking at the aggressive third sister-in-law, she still has no confidence without finding any evidence.

If you get beaten, you will be out of luck.

Then he said with a smile: "Oh, sister-in-law three, I just said that, why do you take it seriously! It's okay, forget it if you don't have one, I still have to go to the fields to fetch water! I won't tell you."

After speaking, he left the room resentfully.

After leaving the compound, Sun Xiuhe thought for a while, then went to the courtyard of the old man next door.

After the people left, Wang Qiuju was relieved.

Then he began to wail loudly again, but this time there were no tears.

After waiting for a long time, Yang Guangzhi came back and yelled at her: "Okay, everyone is gone, stop yelling."

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju stopped crying.

Glancing at her husband, she said, "This can be exchanged for some money, but compared with the land, how useful is this money?"

Yang Guangzhi didn't say anything when he heard this.

He doesn't know how much this thing can be exchanged for, but compared with the land, the land is still important.

This land is a steady stream of water, and the money spent will be spent.

The important thing is that even if you have money, there are a lot of things. Without a ticket, you can’t spend it if you have money. Even if you spend it, the price will at least double.

But with good fields, a lot of grain can be harvested every year.

The family will not be porridge every day.

But what can he say!

Yang Xiaole smiled at the side: "Mother, don't worry, you keep the gold. If you have a chance, go to the city to replace it. It's not a problem to let it go. It's best to borrow some money from the production team."

"Are you stupid, kid? Borrowing money? Selling you to pay back the borrowed money? Thanks to you, you are still the best student in Hongqi Senior Primary School!"

When Wang Qiuju heard her son's words, she started rambling there.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole didn't know how to explain it.

Soon Hongqi Township will become Hongqi Commune. There is a very important thing here.

That is account balance. (I can't explain it, someone who knows can explain it.)
Now the grain output is low, the family has many children, the labor force is small, and the food is not enough to eat, basically they all owe the production team.

This is the upside-down account.

The Yang family had many children, especially Yang Guangzhi's family had five children.

As the saying goes, a half-sized man eats a poor man.

This is also the main reason for clamoring to separate the family, because this family is too good to eat.

However, after the establishment of the commune, there will be no inverted households in the village in a short period of time.

As for the later upside-down households, they only appeared later.

"Grumble!"

While thinking, Yang Xiaole's stomach started to growl.

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Qiuju complained; "Speaking of now, I have suffered such a big loss, and I haven't even eaten!"

After speaking, he shouted towards the door: "Damei, have you picked the vegetables yet? Hurry up and pick the vegetables, I'll cook later."

When Yang Damei outside heard this, she curled her lips and yelled at her eight or nine-year-old sister next to her, "Go, let's cook."

Yang Xiaole is used to seeing this scene.

It's not because the other party is his mother, but because the current female dolls basically have to kill pigweed for the family when they are seven or eight years old.

Do some farm work within your ability.

Like my eldest sister, Yang Damei, who is 14 years old this year, and she basically does all the work at home.

Although the little sister Yang Xiaoli is only seven years old, she has already learned the skill of making fire.

This is also the most common thing in rural areas now.

But at this moment, what he cares most about is being able to eat a full meal, especially meat.

Two eggs a week is not even enough to satisfy my hunger.

As for the meat?
Don't even think about it.

Calculating the time, the last time I ate meat was during the summer harvest in June, so the labor force at home had to be prioritized.

He also only ate two pieces.

Forget it, the more I think about it, the hungrier I get.

As for the matter of borrowing money from the production team, that's all for nothing, because no one would believe his words.

He can't say either.

After all, it is estimated that the township may not know about it now, and the time has not yet come!
