January 12, 1979.

The day after Yang Ming and Yang Jirong's grave sweeping, Yang Ming was too tired to get up and was still resting in bed.

After the tomb sweeping last night, Yang Ming came back to have dinner with the Yang clan members, and he took an early bath and rest under the service of Azhu and Zhong Chuhong.

Slept all night.

There was nothing else going on today. Others knew that Yang Ming had been tired for the past three days and did not wake him up.

After Yang Ming opened his eyes and got up.

See the old-fashioned ticking wall clock in the room now.

This kind of wall clock does not require batteries, you just need to wind it regularly to use it.

Looking at the time displayed on the wall clock, it was already 10:35 in the morning.

In other words, Yang Ming slept for twelve hours.

Yang Ming got up from the bed and when he opened the door, he saw Azhu and Zhong Chuhong outside the door.

"Master, get up."

Azhu and Zhong Chuhong helped Yang Ming wash up and change his clothes.

Yang Ming felt that Weilong House was very quiet today.

In the past three days, thousands of Yang family members came to visit the tombs. Weilongwu and Sanjiangtang seemed to be full of people inside and outside, making it very lively.

After Yang Jirong's tomb sweeping, except for the villagers of Sanjiantang, all the other Yang clan members have returned.

On the one hand, those people don't want to affect Mr. Yang's family here.

On the other hand, it is also the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. Many people have gone back to their homes to busy themselves with their own affairs.

"It's a lot quieter today."

"Master, those villagers left after dinner last night."

Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Ming had a simple breakfast, something like porridge and pickles.

After Yang Ming finished eating.

Yang Ming went to see Yang Jirong and his wife in a wheelchair.

Today, Yang Jirong and his wife didn't get up until after eight o'clock.

Yesterday Yang Jirong talked a lot and vented a lot in front of his parents' gravesite. He slept well last night.

When Yang Ming saw his father today, he felt that his father was a little different from before.

Maybe my father's wish for more than 20 years has finally come true.

Although I still couldn't see my parents before they left, I finally came back.

"Peter, I dreamed about my parents last night. They told me that they would be happy to see us back." Yang Jirong really dreamed about his parents last night. He remembered that his parents talked to him a lot in the dream.

However, when I woke up this morning, I had forgotten many of them.

"Daddy, then it means that our return to our hometown this time is really meaningful."

"Peter, how do you feel now?"

In the past three days, Yang Ming followed him to visit the grave. Li Yufang really felt sorry for Yang Ming.

Originally, she didn't want Yang Ming to continue to follow her, as long as Yang Jirong went.

However, Yang Ming followed him in person.

"Mommy, I also had a good sleep last night and I feel much better now."

Li Yufang checked him carefully and found that there was nothing wrong, so she felt relieved.

"Daddy, I want to discuss something with you."

"no problem."

Yang Ming and Yang Jirong came to Yang Jirong's room.

After closing the door.

Now only the father and son are here.

This return to their hometown is the two most important things for Yang Ming and Yang Jirong.

One thing is that Yang Ming recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan.

One is to visit the tombs and pay homage to ancestors.

Now that these two things are completed, the mission of returning home is also completed.

Yang Ming knew that since his parents decided to stay in their hometown for the New Year before returning to Xiangjiang, Yang Ming was also prepared to stay with his parents.

"Peter, are you planning to return to Xiangjiang?" Yang Jirong thought Yang Ming wanted to return to Xiangjiang.

"Daddy, you and I will go back after the Chinese New Year. Now I want to say that we can't leave just like this when we come back. We still need to do something real for the villagers of Sanjiantang and even Longchuan."

Do something?

"Peter, tell me."

"First of all, I want to make it clear. Daddy, no matter how rich we are, we cannot raise parasites."

Yang Ming is very disgusted with getting something for nothing.

If other villagers saw them coming back and thought they had a lot of money in Xiangjiang, then they thought that Yang Jirong and his son would give them money directly. In Yang Ming's view, this was simply impossible.

He wanted to make it clear that he couldn't possibly support lazy people with hands and feet.

Yang Jirong nodded.

Yang Jirong also believes in getting rich through hard work.

Back then, he and Li Yufang opened the Honghui Electric Fan Company with the support of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars from his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It can be said that they all worked hard.

The hardships of those years are still vivid in my mind.

Looking back on that time, Yang Jirong was still very satisfied.

He felt that what Yang Ming said was right. As long as you have the hands and feet to support yourself, you must not think about getting something for nothing, or even become a parasite.

Not only did this not help them, it actually harmed them.

"Peter, I agree with your statement."

"Daddy, we are rich, but we must not raise any parasites. This will not only harm them, but also harm more people."

As the saying goes, teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish.

When facing the hundreds of thousands of people in Zilian County, Yang Ming already knew that it would be of no use just to give them some gifts or even some money.

In the final analysis, we still want them to have stable jobs and income. Their jobs can be provided by themselves, but their income must be paid through their own hard work.

At this time, Yang Ming targeted the villagers of the Sanjiantang Production Team, his closest relatives of the Yang family in his hometown.

As for the further ones, it may be the Yang clan in Longchuan County, or even the people in Longchuan County.

"First, about the Weilong House. The Weilong House is the root of our Hakka people. As long as the Weilong House is still there, the roots of our Hakka people will be there. Now this Weilong House has a history of one or two hundred years. It was originally It has great existence value and significance. If no one maintains and repairs it regularly, it will collapse and turn into a pile of mud sooner or later. As for the protection and repair of Weilong House, we can spend money to maintain it."

Yang Jirong nodded and agreed very much.

He is very affectionate towards Weilong House.

Now that he came back this time and saw that the Weilong House was still there, he remembered what happened when he was a child.

"Second, about the Triangle Pond. The Triangle Pond is the Feng Shui Pond in our Yangjia Village, and it is of great significance. I heard that in the past, the Triangle Pond production team had to fill in the Triangle Pond directly because of lack of arable land and use it to grow rice. In my opinion Come on, in that case, you really have no choice but to do it. It’s different now. Even if you fill up the entire Triangle Pond, you won’t be able to grow thousands of kilograms of food a year. Rather than doing that, it’s better to preserve it. My idea is to pay for the construction. The embankments of the Triangle Pond can be planted with lotus and other aquatic plants, and even fish can be raised. This Triangle Pond belongs to the Yang clan of the Triangle Pond. If someone is unwilling to do that, then they can buy it with money. However, such people will want to buy it in the future. Don’t even think about asking us to help. In other words, we pay for the maintenance of the Triangle Pond, just like the Weilong House.”

Yang Jirong also nodded.

He also has deep feelings about the existence of Triangle Pond.

"Third, about the children in the village. There are quite a few children in the village now. I heard that before we came back, many children in the village were too poor to even study. In my opinion, studying is an opportunity to change the fate of many people. I very much support these children to continue studying, that is to say, no matter what their families are or what their academic performance is, as long as they are willing to study, I will pay for them to study."

Yang Jirong nodded again.

Respect teachers and value education.

Yang Jirong also attaches great importance to education.

When Yang Ming attended the Yanjing National Day Ceremony and donated a huge sum of money to support domestic university scholarships, he also praised Yang Ming's actions very much.

"Fourth, about the elderly in the village. There are not many elderly people in the village now. The life of the elderly in the village is very miserable. They can neither work nor have income. In this era, they don't have much to eat. They have worked hard all their lives and are suffering from various diseases. Finally leave this world. I think that for these elderly people, we can also provide them with some support."

Many of these old people have hands and feet, but in rural areas, and even in the future, they will be the most miserable people. It would be okay if those old people in big cities had pensions, but there is no need to think about those in rural areas. Filial children may starve to death alive.

For these elders in the village, Yang Ming agrees to support and raise them.

Yang Jirong nodded again after hearing this.

Now Yang Jirong is thinking of his grandparents and his parents, who suffered through poverty in the past.

"Daddy, about these old people. This is what I think. First, for seniors aged 50 to 60, it is 50 RMB per month. Second, for seniors over 60, it is 100 RMB per month."

50RMB?

100RMB?

In rural areas, this is a huge sum of money.

This money is enough to buy food or other daily necessities.

Yang Ming would not give too much, nor would he give too little, let alone give it to them to support those young people.

From 50RMB to 100RMB, Yang Ming also considered it carefully.

Yang Jirong nodded.

"Fifth, about illness or even serious illness. Anyone may encounter illness. Like the villagers here, many times, if you encounter a serious illness, you can either see a barefoot doctor or a village doctor, or you can only stay at home. Waiting to die, in my opinion, this also needs to change. As for the villagers, whether they are children, old people, or middle-aged people, as long as they have a serious illness and need to spend a lot of money, we will use the money to solve it for them. Treatment issues.”

"Peter."

Hearing what Yang Ming said, Yang Jirong was really moved.

Because he thought of his parents, who finally died of pain because of illness.

If someone had paid them to go to the doctor back then, they would never have been like that.

"Sixth, about babies. Daddy, in my opinion, children are not only the hope of a family, but also the hope of a country and a nation. I support voluntary childbirth."

When Yang Ming just said it, Yang Jirong said: "I heard that this is not the case in China. There may be restrictions on childbirth."

In Yang Jirong's father's generation, there were more than a dozen brothers and sisters, and it was the same in Yang Jirong's generation. Now there may not be more than a dozen brothers and sisters, but there are still seven or eight.

Yang Jirong heard that fertility seems to be restricted now, which means that you can't just have children if you want.

"Father, it is natural to have children, how can it be restricted?"

What Yang Ming did was not just for the current villagers of Sanjiantang. He wanted to tell the old gentleman that he had not forgotten what he said.

Yang Jirong didn't know that.

"Then how do you want to support?"

"As long as they are pregnant, I am willing to provide 100 RMB for one child. I am willing to spend money to let them go to the hospital in Longchuan County to give birth. It will be safer for these pregnant women. It will definitely cost money to give birth to a child. I am willing to pay more Provide 100 yuan to the child.”

"Peter, doesn't that mean it's equivalent to a reward of 200 yuan for giving birth to a child? What if the women in the village struggle to give birth?"

"Dad, we don't have a large population here. There are only more than 300 people in the whole village now. I heard that we used to have more than 500 people in Weilongwu. No matter how hard they try to give birth, they will only have a few hundred more children at most. "

"Then if these hundreds of children grow up and get married, won't there be more people?" Yang Jirong asked worriedly.

"Daddy, this is only for a certain period of time. In the future, when the villagers become rich, they will raise their own children without any payment from us."
