Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 217 Hometown Yangjiacun

"Sister-in-law, do you really don't need me to accompany you?"

Early the next morning, Yang Shuning and his party took their luggage and put it on a jeep belonging to the Ministry of Human Armed Forces. Wang Jianyi still wanted to accompany Yang Shuning and the others there by himself.

As for this car, it is the only one in the Fourth Middle School of the People's Armed Forces Department, and it is Wang Jianyi's special car.Two of the four cars are dedicated to the two full-time employees, one is shared by others, and the remaining one is still lying in the warehouse, and there is no need for maintenance.

In fact, the number of cars and jeeps in China is still slightly more than that of more than ten years ago. The reason is very simple. After ten years, many cars will be almost damaged, and there are no new vehicles to supplement them. Naturally, the number of vehicles after more than ten years will be even worse. Money is so expensive that in some places there are only two or three cars in the entire county.

"Don't go. Once you go down, the leader will go on an inspection. We are just going back to our hometown to have a look and do some personal things. We can't stir up trouble. If necessary, I will call you on the village phone number, okay?"

Mother Yang didn't dare to let Wang Jianyi go down with her. Then it would really be a leader's inspection. Not to mention the village commune, the town would send people down.

"No, I'll go to a private server. I want to ensure your safety."

Wang Jianyi still refused to let Mother Yang and the others go by themselves.

"What's the safety issue? With Ning'er and Chen'er here, are you still worried about them drifting blindly? They are armed with guns, so don't worry. Besides, Ning'er and Chen'er's driving skills are also pretty good, so they'll be fine."

Mother Yang pointed at the holsters on the waists of Yang Shuning and Yang Shuchen.

"Okay, sister-in-law, if anything happens, you must call me. If there is no one in my office, you know to call our department phone number. Someone is guarding the department phone number 24 hours a day. Shu Ning, Shu Chen, You have to take good care of your mother."

"Also, don't stay in your hometown. It's too much trouble for the folks. I'll call the town later. You can go to the guest house to rest."

In the end, Wang Jianyi couldn't persuade Yang's mother, but he still thought about them.

"The road to the village is still the same as when I took it, and the scenery is still so familiar."

Yang Shuning drove the jeep and followed the instructions of Yang Shuming and Yang's mother. As her hometown approached, Yang's mother, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the familiar scenery outside the window and became excited.

Not to mention Yang's mother, who has been away for more than 20 years, even Yang Shuming has a feeling of "being more timid when close to hometown".However, in Yang Shuming, there is still a kind of arrogance of returning to his hometown after becoming famous.

"We have arrived at Lengshui Duntou. This spring pond is a sign of arriving at our hometown. Seeing it means we have arrived at our hometown."

Mother Yang pointed to a small pond at the entrance of the village and said.

"Isn't this water not cold?"

Yang Shuning looked at the pond pointed by Yang's mother. There were several women washing clothes beside the pond. "Well, the spring water in this pond is warm in winter and cool in summer. It's the best for washing. You won't feel cold at all if you put your hands in the water."

Yang Shuming also answered Yang Shuning's question.

"Second aunt, eldest brother and second brother, that is the martyr monument of a cousin in our family. He used to be in the railway guerrilla detachment and later died during the liberation. Later, in order to commemorate him, the village specially placed him here at the entrance of the village for everyone to see. Knowing that such a glorious person has come out of the village, I can feel honored."

Yang Shuming pointed to a tombstone above the pond and said.

(A real person, my cousin.)
"I didn't expect that he also died. Your dad had a good relationship with him. It's a pity. Let's go and take the main road on the left. The one on the right is going to the back village."

When Mother Yang saw this uncle's tombstone, she also thought of some things from the past.But after a little memory, he continued to guide Yang Shuning on the road.

Although the road in the village has been repaired, it is still a dirt road with some stones thrown in it. In addition, the road is narrow. Yang Shuning, who is in charge of the roads in the capital, is driving carefully at this time, for fear that the car will break down accidentally.

Although Yang Shuning drove slowly, jeeps were too rare here in Zhijiang, especially in towns and villages. Driving on the road attracted many children who had not studied, shouting and following behind the car. After seeing the exhaust fumes from the jeep, several adults working in the farmland on the roadside ran to the village headquarters, probably to tell the village cadres.

"This is our old house. Your dad and I got married here. It was donated to the village by your dad. Unexpectedly, it is now the village primary school. It is very good. It teaches and educates people. It is very good. This playground used to be In addition to the grain drying field at home, some of it is your grandma’s garden, she likes to grow flowers.”

When Yang Shuning drove past the door with "Yangjiacun Primary School" hanging on it, Yang's mother started talking again. Yang Shuning immediately stopped the car to let Yang's mother watch, and he also started to watch.

The Yang family used to be a landlord. The village primary school covers an area of ​​about ten acres. In addition to two rows of houses, there is also an O-shaped playground and a basketball court.The track is made of gravel and the basketball hoop is made of wood.There are still some students playing on the playground. It should be their physical education time.As for why they don't run like the primary school students in Beijing?It's very simple, no need. Except for those with special physiques, urban students will never be able to outrun rural children. They will run all over the mountains and plains after school. Why do they need to take physical education classes in school to run and exercise? Physical education classes are what rural children use. For play.

As for the physical education teachers, well, there are no full-time physical education teachers, they are all part-time teachers of cultural classes.Children in one class are arranged to take physical education classes here, and then go to another class to take Chinese or mathematics classes.

"Brother, your two basketball hoops were made by my dad out of wood when he was a substitute teacher. Unfortunately, the Education Bureau does not distribute new basketballs, nor does the Education Bureau. The principal only distributed two old basketballs for everyone to play with. After a few years, I couldn’t finish it. In those years, everyone liked to take physical education classes because they could play basketball.”

Yang Shuming pointed to the two basketball hoops and told about his uncle's achievements as a substitute teacher.Not to mention anything else, the third uncle at least helped the children in the village gain knowledge about the sport of basketball.

It's not the time for winter vacation yet, and the students are all in class. At the school gate, Yang Shuning and the others can still hear loud reading coming from the classroom. Even if they listen carefully, they can hear the roar of a certain teacher.

"Let's go and take a look at Zhengyi's house. We haven't lived there for so many years, so we probably need to take care of the hygiene."

After seeing the old house, Yang's mother was going to sit down and take a look at her third uncle's house. Of course, since there were no bedding or anything like that, Yang Shuning and the others had already decided when they were in the car that they would go to a guest house in the town to rest in the afternoon.
