Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

The feeling of loss caused by the departure of his old friend gradually diminished as Chen Yu and others came to him every day and asked him questions.

In addition, under the special care of Yang Qingdai and Tang Danni, Mr. Qian's overall mental outlook and complexion are no less than Secretary Yang and others.

Today, Mr. Qian, Secretary Yang and Uncle Ma can be called the "living trio".

Especially Mr. Qian and Uncle Ma, they get together every day to teach their respective students, and they also compare with each other to see how smart their students are.

From time to time, they would ask Secretary Yang, who would come to drink tea, chat and play chess with them, to make some judgments.

The one who suffers from their comparison is Chen Yu.

Because of his overly active personality and the fact that he could not beat Yang Ziling, he was taken to Uncle Ma's house every day to practice horse stance with Yang Ziling.

Chen Yu didn't dare to refute or resist at all.

Yang Qingdai teased him, saying that Mr. Qian was planning to train him according to the ancient requirement of "a gentleman should be proficient in the six arts", hoping that he could become someone who "can decide the fate of the world on horseback and can pacify the world with his pen".

Chen Yu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his whole body was trembling.

How could Chen Yu be so worthy of such high regard from his mentor?

He just wanted to study hard with his teacher and acquire a skill to make a living.

The two sides were arguing, unwilling to lose, and Yang Qingdai and Tang Danni were so happy that they whispered to Grandma Ma.

"They say old kids, old kids. You are more like a kid than little brother Ziling. You want to win or lose even if you are better than them."

"Who said it wasn't? My Ziling has begun to take on the responsibility of being the head of the family."

Ever since Su Mo talked to her about Yang Ziling's problem, Yang Qingdai has tried hard to treat the child as an adult.

Granny Ma agreed with what Yang Qingdai said, "Zi Ling, apart from being younger and less experienced than Chen Yu, has a calmer personality than that naughty boy.

By the way, these are the Spring Festival couplets for you. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Remember to put up the Spring Festival couplets. The top one should be on the left. Don't put it upside down. "

"Huh? Why aren't these Spring Festival couplets written by Baimei?" Yang Qingdai couldn't help but ask the question the moment she opened the couplets.

From childhood to adulthood, the impression I have of Spring Festival couplets is that they all have white eyebrows.

"What white eyebrows?" Uncle Ma also came over and asked.

Yang Qingdai gestured at the top of the couplet, "Shouldn't there be a blank space here that looks like a white silk?"

"why?"

Except Tang Danni, everyone else was quite curious.

"At first it was to celebrate the victory of Qi's army in the fight against the Japanese invaders, and later it was to commemorate the heroes who died in the 32-year war of resistance in the north." Yang Qingdai said softly.

Tang Danni bit her lip and said, "In our place, the lights are kept on from New Year's Eve to the first day of the new year, just to help the heroic spirits find their way home."

The air was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.

The older generation present had all experienced that era of constant gunfire, so how could they not be aware of the tragic war in which a million men went out and only three thousand returned?

"You are interested."

Secretary Yang sighed. Due to some special reasons, those heroic souls could only remain nameless now.

Yang Qingdai raised her face and said, "I just feel that they should not be forgotten."

"No, they will be remembered by everyone."

Yang Qingdai and a few others, some holding Spring Festival couplets and some carrying rice cakes, waved goodbye to their elders and returned to their homes.

However, several elderly people stared at their departing backs with satisfied smiles on their faces.

……

“Crackle, crackle, crackle~”

As soon as the radio announced the time of twelve o'clock, firecrackers rang out in the village.

"Mr. Qian, Happy New Year and good health."

The younger generations all stood up to wish Mr. Qian a happy new year.

Yang Qingdai added, "Everything tastes delicious."

"Hahahaha, great, great, happy New Year to you all too, and may all your wishes come true. Come on, come on, give each of you a red envelope for New Year's Eve."

"Thank you, Mr. Qian."

All the young people in the room greeted each other, asked for red envelopes, and opened the door to join in the fun, leaving Su Mo alone to stay in the room with Old Qian, who was drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and flipping through the ancient books that Yang Qingdai had found everywhere.

There were bursts of laughter and children's screams coming from outside, and Old Qian raised the corner of his mouth into a smile.

Before he met Yang Qingdai last May, he didn’t dare to “imagine” that he would one day sit in a bright room, drink tea, read a book, and listen to the laughter and play of children outside.

I have almost forgotten how many years it has been since we had such a lively New Year’s Eve celebration.

Seven or eight years? Or even longer?

Great, finally back to normal.

I don’t know if my old friend will have the chance to listen to the sound of firecrackers that haven’t been heard for many years, and sit around with a group of people eating hot dumplings and staying up together to see the New Year, just like him, when he returns to his original unit?

"Ah, Comrade Chen Yu, you've gone too far." Tang Danni's roar came closer and closer, "No one will be able to sleep tonight unless we can beat you."

"Hey, Tang Zhiqing, you attacked the wrong person. Chen Yu Zhiqing is over there, why did you throw me?" Yang Qingshan was too close to Chen Yu and was innocently hit by the snowball.

Tang Danni made another snowball in her hand. "No matter what, since you are in cahoots with each other, you will be baptized by my snowball."

"Ah, help."

"Don't run, stop right here."

"Only a fool would stand there and let you throw him. Watch the fight."

"Sister Tang, over there."

"Quick, quick, get out of the way."

Wang Erni led a group of children from Qingshan Brigade to join their "snowball fight".

Yang Ziling pulled her sister to herself, quickly caught the flying snowball, and threw it accurately at Chen Yu with just the right amount of force.

Chen Yu: "!!! Boy, can't you restrain yourself a little?"

"No." Yang Ziling was cold and ruthless, and the snowball in his hand hit him again.

They went to wish the captain and others a happy new year. They were talking and laughing all the way and had a good time.

Who knew that on the way back, Chen Yu suddenly "went crazy" and made a snowball to attack everyone.

Yang Qingdai, who was a little dazed by the night wind, was hit by Chen Yu's snowball and staggered, almost falling into the snow.

Is this something Yang Ziling can tolerate?

Of course not!

He pulled his sister, who was frozen and dazed, behind him, rolled up a snowball bigger than his fist, and hit the target exactly.

Then, in an instant, snowballs started flying everywhere.

The main target is the "culprit" Chen Yu.

The screams and laughter attracted most of the children who were staying up late to celebrate the New Year, hearing and seeing firecrackers for the first time.

The huge Qingshan Brigade was filled with laughter and joy that drifted far away.

Secretary Yang held an enamel cup, leaned against the door, and watched the children running around.

"Yunyun, when do you think those two unfilial sons in our family will be able to bring us a daughter-in-law?"

Xie Qiyun replied without any hope: "These two can't even go home for the New Year, how can you expect them to have time to date?"

Secretary Yang sighed, "We should have given the second child to Ruoshu and replaced Qingdai with our daughter."

I regret it now!
