More than two hours later, the red soldier drove back home.

He parked the car at the gate of the compound and pulled a hose to flush the van.

He said: "That Sun Dong came to eat pesticides, so I took him for a ride. The whole carriage was filled with a strong smell of pesticides. We had to flush the entire carriage to let the smell disperse."

Yin Yuan said: "I also need to drive my car to have it cleaned. A few days ago, Du Rongjun and Li Qingyun went to the woods to hunt sparrows at night. Du Rongjun accidentally injured Li Qingyun's calf and asked me to drive him to the hospital. Fortunately, I At that time, a rag was put on the car, otherwise it would be very troublesome for his blood to stick to the car."

My mother listened to their discussion and said angrily: "These people have no sense of good and evil at all. Logically speaking, if our car pulls a patient, they should give a red envelope to ward off evil spirits, or catch a rooster and slaughter it. Alas, if you don't lend it, They will also say that we are stingy."

He said to Yin Benfan: "Old man, go catch a rooster, kill it in front of two cars, and then let the chicken's blood drip around the two cars."

Both brothers Yin Yuan and Hong Bing thought it was not necessary.

Yin Benfan said: "The chickens and ducks raised at home are also kept for you to come back and eat."

He went to the chicken coop and caught a rooster.

He said to Hong Bing: "Your brother bought two soft-shell turtles at the fish pond of the village primary school yesterday, made one soup, and made another one today. You have all returned, and Hongmei will return today."

At around ten o'clock, Ge Liang took another apprentice and drove a van to Yin's house.

He also brought firewood, stove, dishes and chopsticks in the van.

We also brought pork, chicken, and various other ingredients.

The two began to cut open the fish, cut the meat, make fish balls and meat balls, fry the fish and meat, steam and roast the skin and meat...

Yin Yuan said to the red soldier: "You need to borrow six sets of dining tables and stools. I will be responsible for washing the car and doing the cleaning."

Wanting and Yizhen also said they would help.

Hong Bing said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to do anything. Just help me."

They first went to their second uncle's house to borrow a set of dining table and stools, and asked the Red Army brothers and sisters to help him move the dining table and stools.

Yin Yuan was washing the car at the door and saw Yin Mingde coming to his door carrying two rabbits and a bag of winter bamboo shoots.

"Uncle Mingde, where did you get two rabbits?"

Yin Mingde said: "I went to Niuaoling to dig winter bamboo shoots this morning. I saw a few rabbits in the grass. I was so happy that I threw the hoe and hit two of them, and then I hit one with a stone. Anyway, I can't eat alone. How much? I know that you brothers are back and we will be treating you to drinks tomorrow, so I brought it to you specially."

Yin Yuan saw that this bachelor uncle had several holes in the clothes he wore, and the Jiefang shoes on his feet had exposed toes. He was not wearing socks in such a cold weather.

He only wore a few single clothes layered together, no cotton-padded jacket.

This widowed uncle didn't have much brain power and only had a lot of brute strength. He divided the land among the households and dug it all with a hoe. He didn't have cattle to plow the land, because he didn't raise cattle or pigs, and he didn't have a manure pit. , so there is no base fertilizer to apply in his rice fields.

There is only enough food for him to eat for himself. Usually he works for other people, but only eats without receiving any wages.

As a result, he was extremely poor and became the poorest person in the village.

But it cannot be rated as a five-guarantee household, because it does not matter. Those village cadres will only mention the names of relatives, friends or acquaintances.

And Yin Mingde doesn't know how to argue.

Yin Yuan said: "Uncle Mingde, I definitely don't want it if it's free. Let's do this. I'll give you 100 yuan for a hare and almost ten kilograms of winter bamboo shoots. I'll also give you 100 yuan for a total of 300 yuan. If you accept it, I want your things, and if you don’t accept them, you can take them back.”

Yin Mingde said excitedly: "Why is Xiao Yuan so polite? In the past, when I hunted hares and gave them to other people, no one ever said they wanted to give me money."

"I'm a human being. You use these hundreds of dollars to buy a cotton-padded jacket, a pair of shoes and a few pairs of socks. Buy a few kilograms of meat for the Chinese New Year. And remember to come over for a drink tomorrow..."

Yin Mingde still refused to accept the 300 yuan. He held it in for a long time before he expressed his thoughts.

"Xiao Yuan, they said you opened a company and a factory in Jiangming. They asked me to ask you if you could take me out and arrange for me to guard the gate or watch the construction site. You can pay me whatever you want, so that I can have enough to eat. Just have a place to live. So this is specially given to you."

Yin Yuan felt sad when he heard this: On the outside, this widowed uncle is also very handsome, but because of his stupidity, he has been a bachelor all his life and has not even improved his basic living conditions.

Yin Yuan said: "Put the money away, and I promise to take you there after the New Year. It's just right for you to guard the gate of the building materials factory. You have accommodation and canteens to eat. The salary is lower than others, but after a year There’s also an income.”

Yin Mingde happily accepted the money.

"I will definitely work hard. In the next few days, I will go to the mountains to dig more winter bamboo shoots or catch some hares..."

He also took the initiative to help Yin Yuan clean and wash the car, scrubbing the inside of the car clean.

I left him for lunch, refused to say anything, and walked away in a hurry.

At this time, Du Jiansheng and Li Yihang came to the door.

Yin Yuan said apologetically: "I wanted to go to you to sign the contract last night, but when I encountered Sun Donglai, I persuaded him for a long time, and he agreed to live with Rong Jun in the sand factory shed, so I went back."

Du Jiansheng said: "That idiot Rong Jun is still dishonest. Last night he arranged for Sun Donglai to live in the Shachang dormitory. He threw the key to him and ran home. If he was more honest, he ran to Donglai's house by himself. Find Donglai’s mother and ask her to find a way to help pick out Donglai’s clothes, so that what happened next won’t happen.”

Li Yihang said: "No wonder your family is Rongjun. This is a knot between Accountant Sun and his son. It will always break out one day. I don't know if Sun Donglai's life can be saved?"

Yin Yuan made tea to entertain them.

Take out the contract and explain the contents to them one by one.

Yin Yuan had already explained the contents of these contracts to them.

The three signed the contract.

Du Jiansheng said: "I have already obtained the approval procedures for gold mining, and I can get the gold mining certificate after the Chinese New Year."

Li Yihang said: "I will purchase a gold mining boat after the Chinese New Year and try to bring the boat back during the rainy season. Construction can start as soon as the dry season arrives."

The three of them also discussed the issue of selling the finished gold they found in the future.

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "The most marketable commodities in the world are gold and silver. If you have the goods, you don't have to worry about not having a place to sell them. I am also familiar with several leaders of Qishan Mine. If I ask them about it then, they will definitely tell me."

Gold and silver themselves are more worthy of permanent preservation than paper money.

The price of gold has been rising and has never fallen.

Yin Yuanliu and the two of them had dinner at home. They refused, but promised to come for a drink tomorrow.

At this time, Sun Zaorong hurriedly found Yin Yuan's house and said to Du Jiansheng: "Secretary of the Party Committee, please go and persuade him quickly? Sun Donglai died from taking pesticides, and his mother will fight his father desperately."

Du Jiansheng said: "You should go to Li Shuilin, the security director, and I will persuade him. Accountant Sun and his wife are resentful of me, especially his wife. My going to persuade him is just adding fuel to the fire. In the end, Sun Donglai was not saved. come over?"

Sun Zaorong said: "My cousins ​​took care of him in the hospital last night. The doctor gave him an enema. In the middle of the night, he had a drug attack. He struggled to drink the enema water and said he was thirsty. The doctor explained The few of us must hold him down and let him get an infusion. Whether he can be saved depends on whether the infusion can come in. At dawn, Donglai said to himself: Brother, let go and don’t hold me down. I saw his tears flowing down. , then closed his eyes, and his body slowly became cold. The doctor rescued him for half an hour, and finally declared him dead."

Du Jiansheng and Li Yihang left with Sun Zaorong. It is not known whether they went to Sun's house to persuade them.

Yin Yuan and Hong Bing wanted to take a look, but their mother persuaded them not to go. "You two had better not go. Hong Bing proposed marriage to Li Yanping last year. Now Accountant Li and his wife will feel very sad when they see you two." I feel uncomfortable. It’s better to let someone from his grandson’s house try to persuade him.”

At this time Hongmei and Pan Nianzu returned home.

It was a pity to hear that Sun Donglai died from drinking pesticide.

Mom and dad asked Hongmei: "Didn't you go to celebrate the New Year with Xiao Pan's parents' house? Why did you come back?"

Pan Nianzu told Xu Hongmei's parents what happened at home this year.

"I rented someone else's old house back in the village. There were only two rooms. My parents could live there, but it was inconvenient for the two of us to live at home. So my parents asked us to come over here to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, we would go with Brother Yin Yuan. Jiang Ming works part-time."

Yin Benfan asked Pan Nianzu: "Didn't Qishan Mine resume production after the New Year? If you don't go back to work, aren't you afraid that the mine will fire you?"

Pan Nian was told: "It doesn't matter if I get fired. Anyway, I have no intention of staying at Qishan Mine. The working environment is terrible and the salary is low. The problem is that I can't see a way out."

Zhou Yafei said to the old man: "Everyone is like you. They think that the iron rice bowl is very fragrant and great, and they stick to it and refuse to leave. Young people should be flexible and go wherever they can to live a better life."

Ge Liang and the two had prepared several main dishes, indicating that they would come early.

Yin Yuan asked them where they lived?

Or save yourself the trouble of running away and stay here at night.

Anyway, his family has two warehouses, with more than a dozen rooms on a single floor, not to mention the second floor?

Ge Liang said: "We live in my cousin's house. When we come to Gucheng Village, we don't live with relatives, but with other people's homes. It doesn't make sense."

He brought some prepared ingredients over.

Yin Yuan's dishes tonight are also good, including soft-shell turtle stewed with chicken, stir-fried rabbit with chili peppers, roasted pork skin, fish balls, meatballs, stir-fried meat with winter bamboo shoots, and several plates of green vegetables.

Staying overnight, my mother asked Hongmei to sleep with her, and Pan Nianzu slept in the same bed as Lao Yin.

Lao Yin couldn't sleep at night and kept chatting with Pan Nianzu. He learned all about his future son-in-law's family situation in one night.

Pan Nianzu was an honest man, he said everything he wanted without hiding anything.

The next day, I secretly told the old woman about Xiao Pan's family in the kitchen.

"Xiao Pan's parents are honest people, but they don't know how to educate children. Their youngest son is uneducated, brutal and selfish, and the same goes for his wife. If Hongmei gets along with them in the future, she will suffer from them."

Zhou Yafei thought more broadly: "As long as Xiao Pan is a reliable person, Hongmei will not suffer in the future. If Xiao Pan's brother and sister-in-law are not good, don't worry about him. From now on, Xiao Pan and Hongmei will be like Xiao Yuan and Hong Bing." Two people working in Jiangming, who dares to bully them?"

She said: "Xiao Yuan has only been there for a year, and he has the ability to buy a house, a car, a company and a factory. After he has developed, how can he not take care of his sister and brother-in-law? Just like the Red Soldiers, how many times did he go to Guangdong before?" Years ago, I had nothing, but now I have earned 20 yuan with his brother for half a year. Xiao Yuan gave the apartment to the two Hong Bings, and he and Wanting went to live in the villa."

She discussed with the old man: "Tingting is due at the end of March. I intend to go across Jiangming with Xiao Yuan and the others after the Chinese New Year to serve Tingting during confinement and help take care of the baby. What will you do at home alone?"

The old man scratched his head and said, "What else should I do? Will I still starve to death if I am alone at home?"

"I'm afraid you won't die of hunger. I'm afraid that if you don't take a shower for a few days, don't change clothes for a few days, and don't wash the bowl after eating for a few days, your whole body will smell and stink, and the students will dislike you if they smell it."

"Am I that lazy? I don't know how to cook, cook, wash clothes, grow vegetables, raise chickens and ducks. I won't feel calm at night if I have a dog at home."

Ge Liang and the two arrived at the Yin family early in the morning and started cooking in another building of the warehouse.

The weather outside suddenly became sunny.

My second uncle also came over from home early.

Yin Yuan told him: "I'm going to treat you to a drink today. All the red envelopes I received will be returned when we leave. I'll just accept the other gifts. I'll treat them as valuable gifts and give them red envelopes in return."

If Fourth Uncle comes back, he is good at doing these things.

The third uncle has evil intentions, so I don’t trust him to do this.

The second uncle said: "I'm not literate and I'm afraid that I can't write other people's names well, and I can't do arithmetic either."

Hong Ping said: "Dad, let me help you."

She is already a senior in high school, so doing these things is easy.

So the second uncle was responsible for collecting gifts and red envelopes the next day, and Hong Ping was responsible for registration.

Many relatives and friends congratulated the second brother Yin Yuan on their wedding. They all said that the two brothers were good people. They invited guests outside when they got married, and even invited relatives and friends from their hometown when they returned home for the New Year.

Someone saw Pan Nianzu and Hongmei together, and secretly asked Zhou Yafei: "Sister-in-law, is that boy Hongmei's partner?"

Zhou Yafei also told them generously: "The partner of Hongmei is from Yuyang, surnamed Pan, and works as a manager at Xiaoyuan's building materials factory."

Everyone congratulated her: "Now she is blessed, and her children will have a bright future."

Several people also secretly observed Pan Nianzu, and then came to the conclusion: "He is a young man who is educated, polite, and very smart..."

As a classmate of Yin Hongbing, Li Yanping also asked the Red Army to inform him.

She and her mother came too.

At the door, she glanced at Feng Yizhen several times with jealous eyes.

"Congratulations on your happy marriage and a lifetime of happiness."

Yin Hongbing introduced Feng Yizhen: "My classmate, from elementary school to junior high school, her name is Li Yanping."

Li Yanping asked deliberately: "Yin Hongbing, is your wife also from our area?"

"We come from the same hometown. Yi Zhen and I were high school classmates."

You and I were classmates in junior high school. We asked a matchmaker to go to your house to talk about matchmaking. He refused without mercy on the spot.

Now I am married to a high school classmate, and at least she has a higher education level than you.
