Chapter 5 The Purpose of Money

As the younger generation who grew up in the new society, neither Ji Jianguo nor Li Shulan believed in ghosts and gods.But the sudden return of the silly son to normal was truly miraculous, and they couldn't help but think that maybe there was something in that river... that brought the son back to life.

Now that the country is trying its best to get rid of feudal superstition, they absolutely dare not go to the river to burn incense.But there was no way to express their excitement and gratitude to anyone. Everyone said they wanted to pay their respects to the chairman, and they readily agreed.

There was a portrait of the chairman on the wall at home, and we added an altar under the portrait, lit incense candles, chopped off the chicken head, poured blood on the paper money, and burned the paper money.

Ji Zhuan was guarded by his family and relatives right in front of him, and Jiong accompanied them with great spirit to openly engage in feudal superstition in front of the chairman's portrait.

Li Shulan lit three sticks of incense for him, he took it, and obediently knelt down with his family.

The two uncles and grandmas were the most pious, holding incense, sticking their foreheads to the ground, and kept muttering: "Thank you, Chairman, for blessing my family Ji, and please bless him in good health and success in his studies in the future, and bless the children and grandchildren of Ji's family." Peace and peace, I come to burn paper money for you every Qingming Festival and offer incense every day."

Ji Zhuan, he felt that when his uncle called the chairman, he must be thinking of some Buddha and Bodhisattva in his heart.He looked aside calmly, the younger generation of the Ji family showed a helpless expression, only the older generation bowed their heads respectfully.

After the worship, the second uncle's grandma touched Ji Yu's head and said: "This is all right, this is all right, and your soul will be stable in the future." She also solemnly confessed to Li Shulan: "Yuanyuan has just returned to her soul, and three sticks a day. Xiang, don't slack off, so that the soul will be stable, otherwise it will fly away again."

Said it as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Li Shulan originally only planned to worship this time, but suddenly she was shocked, knowing in her heart that it was nonsense, and she didn't dare to make fun of her son. After that, she really respected the chairman three incense sticks every day.

Ji Yu: "..."

That's how the witches used to bluff people!

My uncle and grandma have the potential to be a witch.

The next day, Zhang Ermei's husband sent 100 yuan.Naturally, Second Sister Zhang would not come to make an apology. Instead, she cried at home, "Why is my life so hard... The black-hearted landlord... wants to force our mother and son to death..."

Even Ji's family can hear it, after all, it was specially howled for them.

Zhang Ermei's husband, Li Zhu, looked calm, and said to Ji Jianguo, "Brother Jianguo, don't worry, she is just like this." Then he pushed a bag of pears to Ji Chen: "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, your brother Zhang and the others have been taught badly." .”

Ji Yu nodded and smiled, and said obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Li Zhu is a door-to-door son-in-law, and his family is very poor. After his brother got married, there was no way for him to marry another wife.Not to mention the new house, there is not even an extra room, so he had no choice but to become the door-to-door son-in-law.Eat at Zhang's house, live at Zhang's house, even work is helped by Zhang's family, so naturally I can't stand up.

Zhang Ermei quarreled with the neighbors, at first he felt ashamed and tried to stop him, but later he calmed down.

Ever since Ji Yu could remember, he had always had this calm face.

Naturally, Ji Yu would not attribute Zhang Ermei's fault to him, and Uncle Li was already very pitiful.

Ji Jianguo also sympathized with Li Zhu, and kindly asked him to eat: "Have lunch here before leaving... In the current situation, I guess you won't have to eat when you go back."

Li Zhu nodded without thinking. The family is already like that, and he will not wrong himself in other places.So the two men who just had a fight at home yesterday had dinner together affectionately, and drank a few glasses of wine by the way.

For the 100 yuan compensation, Ji Laogen took 30 yuan each to the two brothers' families, thanking them for their help, and kept 30 yuan for flowers, and 10 yuan for Ji Yu as pocket money.

When Ji Yong heard about it, he was so envious that his saliva drooled: "There are so many, you are not a rich man now?"

"A lot?" Ji Yu smiled: "I haven't spent any money!"

Ji Yong nodded vigorously: "The supply and marketing cooperative only costs one cent per candy, and you can buy a lot of candy! Firecrackers cost two cents a roll, and sugar packets with pictures cost five cents..."

Ji Yong counted a lot of food and play that he likes. For him, 10 yuan is really a lot, and he can buy a lot of toys.

Ji Yu was not interested in these things, so he asked Ji Yong to take him to the post office and order a few newspapers for the grandpas on the farm.The grandfathers subscribed to "News Daily" and "Legal Daily", and Ji Zhuan added others for them.After that, I went to the waste collection station to buy a bunch of old books and newspapers, packed them in boxes, and sent them to the farm with Ji Yong on bicycles to the grandpas.

During the 10 years when Ji Chen was a fool, because he couldn't even eat by himself, taking care of him was a big burden.Apart from his family members, the only ones who are willing to take care of him patiently are the grandpas on the farm.Ji's relatives are also good to him, but they have children to take care of, so they don't have the patience to feed him one bite at a time.Now that Ji Rafter has recovered, it is natural to repay one or two.

The grandpas on the farm were extremely curious about how Ji rafter recovered. To their inquiry, Ji rafter blinked a hundred times and said:

I am a child!I don't understand anything!

A grandfather who is a doctor said regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no equipment here, otherwise we can study it carefully, and it may become a milestone in promoting the medical cause of our country."

Ji Yu pretended not to understand.He doesn't want to be studied!

Ji Yong on the side said, "To study is also to study the river that Yuanyuan fell into! My grandma said that there are gods in that river!"

After speaking, I got hit on the head.Talk to socialist builders about feudal superstitions and get beaten up.

Ji Yu and Ji Yong stayed with the grandpas all afternoon, and they reluctantly returned home in the evening.Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, Ji Chen counted the money in his pocket, and found that he spent more than two yuan without buying anything today. 10 yuan really can't stand the adult's spending.

"Yuanyuan, we're here." Ji Yong parked the car downstairs of Ji Yu's house, and lifted Ji Yu out of the car with his arm.

Although the age difference is only 5 years, the difference in body shape is really too much.

"Brother Yong, here it is." Ji Yu handed 5 yuan to Ji Yong.

Ji Yong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his face: "What are you doing?"

He remembered that he had brought a lot of toys, thinking that Ji Rafter had misunderstood him, and was very angry.

Ji Yu froze for a moment, not understanding why Ji Yong was angry.

"This is for Brother Yong." Regardless of whether the soul is an elder or a cousin who is taken care of, he intends to share it with Ji Yong.

"I don't want it!" Ji Yong felt that his elder brother's dignity was insulted, and he wanted to push the cart away, but Ji Yu hurriedly held him back.

Although he didn't know why Ji Yong was angry, but fortunately he understood his character, so he coaxed him: "I want to ask Brother Yong to take me to play in the future."

"Ok?"

Ji Chen looked up at Ji Yong, blinked his eyes and pretended to be pitiful: "I don't know what toys to buy, and I don't have any friends, so give Brother Yong the money to buy toys for me and play with me, okay?"

Ji Yong calmed down and patted Ji Yu's head: "You can play with Ji Wu and the others."

There are also several cousins ​​in Ji's family, about the same age as Ji Zhuan. Ji Zhuan doesn't hate them, but he can't play with real 10-year-olds.He just saw Ji Wu and the others peeing and playing with mud last month, how could he join in!

Thinking about it, playing with Ji Yong is really much better. Ji Yong is already past the age of a child. If he wants to play ball and climb mountains in his daily life, Ji Yu still likes it.So she acted even harder.

"I just want to play with Brother Yong, doesn't Brother Yong like Yuanyuan?"

The voice of a child who has not passed the voice change period is clear and tender, and when it is childish, it sounds like a baby, which is indescribably cute.

Ji Yong couldn't resist, his monkey brother had never acted like a baby with him before.

"Okay, I'll take your money, and I promise to get you the most fun toy."

At a glance, he knew that it must be Ji Yong's favorite toy, and Ji Chen agreed with a smile.Anyway, it is for Ji Yong, he can buy whatever he likes.

Ji Yong didn't come to see him for the next few days. Hearing from his grandfather that Ji Yong had bought a few rolls of firecrackers, Ji Chen smiled and didn't take it seriously. It's normal for boys to like to play with firecrackers.

A week later, Ji Yong came to pick up Ji Rafter on his bicycle: "Yuanyuan get in the car quickly, brother will take you to play."

Ji Yong used to take care of Ji Yu often, but he basically stayed at home to look after the house. After all, Ji Yong was an idiot, so it would be bad if he got lost, and it was the first time he took him out to play.

Although Ji Yu has lived in Binjiang Town for 10 years, the only way he is most familiar with is the road from his home to the farm. The places Ji Yong took him through are places he has never been to.

Passing by unfamiliar residential buildings on both sides of the road, turning in from an alley, the bicycle creaked and vibrated on the gravel, the eaves in front gradually became dark and cramped, and suddenly opened up again.After leaving the residential building, there is a wide grassland and a gurgling river ahead.

Ji Yu couldn't help but let out a cry of "Wow", this river is much wider than the small river that crosses the town, and it's glistening in the sun, just looking at it feels chilly.

"Brother Yong, shall we go swimming?"

"More fun than swimming!"

Ji Yong's voice was full of confidence, and Ji Chen looked forward to it even more.

Walked all the way again, passed a large vegetable field, and finally arrived at the destination.

This is an upstream branch of the river. It is located very far away. It seems that few people pass by. The road is slippery and covered with moss.

Ji Yong parked the car, and lifted Ji Rafter off with his arms as usual: "That's it, wait for my friend."

The two waited not long before several bicycles came over.The group of teenagers on the bicycle looked familiar, they were the people on the wall of the police station that day.

Although they looked like joking little ruffians, when they walked side by side, Ji Yu felt the familiar atmosphere of the army.

Ji Zhuan heard from his family that Ji Yong was exceptionally admitted as a Little Red Soldier back then, which gave the school new hope, so he selected a group of children as the reserve team.

The Revolutionary Committee has a strong Cold War ideology. When other children were reading and writing, Ji Yong and the others learned bayonets, guerrilla warfare, tunnel digging, landmines and shooting at school.

Basically, they were trained according to the standard of soldiers that the Revolutionary Committee believed. The goal was to be able to go to the battlefield with a gun. These young people were obviously the little red soldiers who had been trained.

Fortunately, once the Little Red Soldier fell, these kids didn't have time to do evil, and went back to school obediently to become students, only some soldiers' habits remained.

The boy named Xiao Song walked in the front. He glanced at Ji Yu and mocked Ji Yong unceremoniously: "Ji Yong, are you taking care of children full-time?"

Ji Yong snorted coldly: "My brother paid for the firecrackers, do you want to play?"

Xiao Song spread his hands: "Okay!"

"Is something ready?"

"All right."

A boy from behind came up with a bulging bag, opened it for Ji Yong to see, and Ji Yong immediately smiled.Ji Zhuan looked over on tiptoe, only to see the stuffed old cotton, and only traces of cotton from the side.

A group of people skillfully walked upstream along the river, and after ten minutes, Ji Yu saw a small reservoir.

Ji Yong happily introduced to Ji Yu: "This reservoir was built to prevent drought before, and it has never been used. It doesn't look high, but the water is actually very deep. We often swim here, and there are fish in it."

"Oh, shall we go swimming?" Ji Yu asked.

"No, no, it's more fun than swimming, thanks to your money to buy firecrackers." Xiao Song praised Ji Zhuan: "I'll be the first one for you to play."

"Yuanyuan, come here, come closer." Ji Yong pushed Ji Yu to a position close to the reservoir, and said enthusiastically, "It's super fun, reach out."

Ji Yu stretched out his hand, and saw Ji Yong take out a mud ball from the big pocket just now.The mud ball was oval in shape, a little bigger than Ji Yu's palm, and it was heavy in his hand. There should be a lot of stones in it.The outside is covered with a thick layer of dark yellow soil, and a lead wire is connected to the top... Wait, lead wire?

Ji Yong didn't explain anything, he lit the fuse directly, and winked to tease him: "Yuanyuan, let's see what effect throwing it into the water has."

I still need you to teach!

Ji Yu had already thrown it into the water quickly, and there was a splash of water with a bang.

Ji Yu was drenched in water, Ji Yong laughed loudly: "Hahahaha isn't it fun?"

Ji Yu: "...!!"

Those brats holding grass actually used his money to commit suicide!system!fry!bomb!
