The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 62 Something Happened

A few days later, the sky began to clear, and the villagers began to take out some damp quilts or food to dry.

There is still water in some low-lying plots, and many soybean seedlings and corns have been drowned. When the soil on the air-dried land is no longer loose, these drowned seedlings need to be replanted, so when it rains, they are idle The people in the village gradually began to get busy.

The atmosphere in Yang Dongxu's house has been not right for the past few days. Originally, the relationship with his grandparents was eased, but because of the quarrel a few days ago, it was completely frozen. The three children worry about losing the smiles they used to have every day.

"Dad, let's go to the city." Yang Dongxu said to Dad Yang while eating.

"Why go to the city if you have nothing to do?" Father Yang's temper has not been very good these days. Although he didn't beat the child, his expression was gloomy.

"I've been back for such a long time. I must go to the city to see Uncle Chen. When I came back, I didn't thank him for taking me back in a car. I didn't go to his house to see him when I came back. I'm sure now. I need to make up."

"That's what you said, why don't you let your little grandpa take you there." Father Yang thought it was reasonable, after all, he helped so much, so he should take a gift to Chen Weimin's house to have a look and thank him.

But he has an indescribable fear of Father Yang who is an official, so even with Chen Weimin's way, he seldom moves around. On the contrary, Yang Dongxu's little grandfather is more at home in this area than his elder grandfather, but he seldom goes to Chen Weimin, and more often contacts with the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"It's our family who thank you. What's the matter with you always taking uncle with you?" Without Yang Dongxu's words, Yang's mother stared at Yang's father with a bit of resentment.

It's not that Yang's mother is snobbish and wants to curry favor with someone. Although there is Chen Weimin's way, except for giving fish and shrimp last year, they have never gone to Chen Weimin's house to have a relationship, have they? Besides, giving fish and shrimps is a major event in the whole village, and it is not considered a favor from their family.

But don't flatter others, since this way exists, it can't be broken, maybe it can be used by others at any time. It's too snobbish to go to someone if you don't usually move around when something goes wrong.

"Sure, I'll go tomorrow, but what do you want to bring?" His son's affairs are always left to the grandpa, so Father Yang is a little embarrassed and has to agree.

"Just bring some pickled duck eggs or eggs." Yang Dongxu said.

"Is this not good?" Father Yang felt that the gift seemed a little too light.

"There is no shortage of anything in the city. Even if you take a piece of gold brick, people will take it, right? I think duck eggs and eggs are just right, and then bring some money to cut some meat in the city and buy some other things. The main thing is a little Xinyi, it's not like he doesn't know what's going on in our family." Yang Dongxu felt that salted duck eggs were quite suitable.

"It's okay." Yang's mother nodded, thinking that people who become high-ranking officials really don't want anything for themselves, and it's enough to bring some unique rural things for others to try.

So the next morning, just before dawn, Dad Yang started off with the basket in one hand and Yang Dongxu followed two people behind his buttocks. The ground was not dry and there was mud everywhere, but there were already footprints on the side of the road, so although I was bouncing around looking for footprints, it didn't take much trouble.

He didn't go directly to the city. After all, Father Yang carried the basket, and it would be tiring to carry Yang Dongxu on his back if he walked for a while. The two of them walked seven or eight miles to the official road to the north of the village.

This is the main road linking Chengwang District and another county and city. Although it is just a simple cross road with very little asphalt sprinkled on it, the road surface has dried up without any accumulation of water.

The two of them got up early, and it was bright when they came to the official road. There were many people driving ox carts to deliver goods to the city, and from time to time they could see a few bicycles whizzing by.

Put Yang Dongxu, who was tired from walking, on the bullock cart and let him hold the basket. Yang Dongxu chatted with a familiar person from other villages while helping the cattle.

In the morning, I finally reached the city and went directly to Chen Weimin's house. By chance, Chen Weimin, who had been busy for more than half a month, was resting at home, saving Yang Dongxu from going to the district government to find him.

After eating a meal at Chen Weimin's house, Chen Weimin also drank a few drinks with Yang's father, which made Yang's father very excited.

"Be more polite to others in the future, don't laugh at the skin." Chen Weimin, who arranged for the driver to take Yang Dongxu and his son back home, turned around and glanced at his mother-in-law.

Chen Weimin's wife is from the city, and she looks very fashionable in her thirties, so she looks down on country people a bit, even though she knows that Yang Dongxu is a student of Zhou Yiren just like her husband.

Even Zhou Yiren is now Yang Dongxu's godfather, and seems to have become an official in Yanjing, but she has more coping with Yang Dongxu's father and son than enthusiasm.

"What's wrong with me, what's wrong with me? They're here and I'm serving you delicious food and drink, what do you think of me?"

"Long hair and short knowledge, you know nothing." Chen Weimin glared at his mother-in-law.

Think about those letters from Yang Dongxu in the past, and think about the seemingly casual chats during the meal just now. Chen Weimin suddenly remembered the old teacher's evaluation of him as a monster.

If he mentioned those points before, he would still think that Yang Dongxu wrote them under the instruction of his teacher, and he could barely explain them. So what seemed to be no focus at the dinner table just now made Chen Weimin have to pay attention to Yang Dongxu, an 8-year-old kid.

Since Chen Weimin asked the driver to take him off, the plan to go to the second aunt's hometown had to be cancelled. The dirt road hadn't been dry yet, so the car couldn't drive into the village. It could only be sent to the official road seven or eight miles away from the village. Father Yang walked home.

After returning home, the family atmosphere that had always been clouded over the past few days finally relaxed. The main reason is that Father Yang smiled more on his face, and the whole family naturally hated relaxation.

The reason why he is so happy is naturally that Dad Yang felt that he had a drink with the first commissioner in the district, and when he came back, the other party not only sent him in a special car, but also returned a lot of gifts. What is this called? This is called having a face, which gave him a lot of confidence when talking with his grandfather.

But the happiness didn't last for a few days. When the local water went down and Yang Dongxu had to take his younger sister to the field to replant the seedlings, his grandparents hurried towards the field.

"Father Hongying, daddy Hongying hurry up, hurry up, something has happened." Grandma Yang Dongxu yelled while running, attracting many people's attention.

"What's wrong?" Yang's father, who was bent over to replant corn with mud on his hands and feet, got up too, and Yang's mother also stopped.

"I was arrested, I was arrested, I was arrested for joining the army." Grandma Yang Dongxu looked anxious.

"When did it happen?" Father Yang was taken aback and hurried out of the field, shaking off the mud on his hands and feet, and Mother Yang also put down the corn in her hand.

"Last night, I was arrested last night. Today your fourth father went to the market and heard that the casino was closed by the police station. After inquiring about it, he found out about it. He was also arrested for joining the army. What should I do? What should I do?" Grandpa Yang Dongxu looked anxious.

No matter how unsatisfactory my uncle is, he is still his son. Farmers always have an indescribable fear of officials, especially law enforcement agencies like the police station, even if they have not broken the law, they will be weaker.

"Hurry up and go to the town to see what's going on with joining the army." Grandma Yang Dongxu urged.

"I don't have any acquaintances in the town. Where can I go to see how to join the army?" Father Yang was also confused for a while.

"Go to the city and find the commissioner, don't you know the commissioner, he must have a way."

"Let's discuss it with Grandpa first. We don't know what to ask the commissioner for what's going on. Besides, if you are really arrested because of the casino, it may not be helpful to go to him like this. Officials pay more attention to reputation. Will someone speak up for a criminal?" Yang Dongxu interjected from the side.

"Then what to do, what to do then"

"A few days ago, I said that casinos are not a serious business, so don't get involved in the army, you guys." Yang's mother muttered, and when she saw Yang's father standing there in a daze, she snorted: "You stand there like a piece of wood. Well, why don’t you go to Daddy’s house to find someone to help? Daddy is the village head’s acquaintance in the town.”

This is Yang Ma's unforgiving mouth, but even if she is angry in her heart when encountering such a thing, she will solve the matter first. After all, they are all a family, and she doesn't want anyone to be troubled.

The seedlings were not in the mood to replant, so the three children went home. Yang Dongxu’s parents and grandparents went to the grandpa’s house, and then Dad Yang followed the grandpa to the town with the money. He always wanted to buy some cigarettes when he was inquiring. People eat a meal or something.

It wasn't until the evening that the two of them came back. As expected, something happened to the casino. Not only Wuli Town, but all the blatantly open casinos in Chengwang District were swept away.

The reason is that a person from Chengwang District went to the town below to gamble and lost all his money, and was beaten by the casino, so he was so angry that he called the police in the city.

The city man who was beaten is said to have some background, and the relatives he sent were also very energetic. As for why he only retaliated against the casino that beat him, no one can explain why other casinos also suffered. In short, the casino in Wuli Town did not escape. past.

"Daddy and I invited a deputy director to dinner, and he revealed to me that the crooked son blamed everything on joining the army. If he is sentenced, he will be sentenced to at least three years." Father Yang twitched one by one. Smoking with a sad look on his face.

"Fucking shit, these things are done by crooks themselves, what do you care about joining the army? Three years, what can I do, what can I do?" Hearing that he would be sentenced to three years, Grandpa Yang Dongxu was terrified. .

"Waizi, how can a bastard say that? He speaks out of conscience and has a son." Two days ago, she felt that Waizi was a nice person, and grandma Yang Dongxu, who wanted to make money and wanted her son to join the army, also scolded.

Yang Ma curled her lips aside, her face was not good-looking. What are these things? At the beginning, my family didn't allow me to join the army to go to the casino, but my mother-in-law insisted on agreeing, and the two families had a fight, which made the family unhappy. Now that something happened, I have to come forward to give myself this injustice. My brother-in-law wiped his ass.

"Either, or else, go to the city and ask." Grandpa Yang Dongxu suggested in a low voice.

"It's useless to ask anyone for this matter. All the casinos in the towns in the entire district have been blocked, and the police stations are almost full of people who have been arrested. Who do you call at this time? Who dares to stick their heads? If he stands up now, others What should I do if I think this casino is supported by him?" The grandpa knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand on the ground and glanced at Grandpa Yang Dongxu.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, but you're just as good as joining the army. You still listen to him about everything, can you be good?"
