Chapter 258 My mother takes me to visit the grave every Qingming Festival
Zhou Rong and his friends brought back a lot of cured fish and meat from the provincial capital. This time they went to the street mainly to buy some fresh fish and meat.
I originally wanted to buy some vegetables, but Zhou Chuanyi said that there were plenty of vegetables in the vegetable base and the varieties were more complete than those sold on the street. I could just go to the fields and pick some. Why waste money?
Zhou's mother said: "The vegetables in the base are public property. It is not appropriate for us to pick them. Anyway, these vegetables are only a few cents per pound, and they won't cost much. There is no need to cause gossip."
Zhou Chuanyi: "This year the weather was good, the crops in the fields grew well, and two days ago we supplied the last batch of vegetables to some supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable stores in the county, provincial capital and nearby areas, and there were still a lot left. If we didn't eat them, they would just get old in the fields.
After I reported this to the township, they distributed a little to every household in the village. You are also considered a part of our Zhoujiawan. Everyone can eat it, so why can't you?
There are only so many people in your family, how much can they eat? Just do as I say. When we get back, I will personally take you to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables."
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll take advantage of the village."
Zhou Chuanyi: "This is not called taking advantage, this is the honor of being a Zhoujiawan person! There seems to be a beef stall over there, let's go and take a look."
Mother Zhou: "Okay."
Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang waited for a long time but received no reply or remittance slip from Yang Jinlin and Feng Qiaolan.
The villagers of Yanglinpo guarded against them like thieves. Whenever they went out, someone would follow them and report them to Lin Dahe.
Once they left Yanglinpo, they would be caught and taken back to collect 10 work points.
The money he had was getting less and less, and there was not much work to do in the fields. He couldn't find a reason to send Jinmei, Dani and Erni to the fields to earn work points in exchange for food.
The Chinese New Year is approaching and every household is preparing for the New Year. Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang, looking at the only 14 yuan left in the house, decide to send another letter to Yang Jinlin and Feng Qiaolan to ask for money.
Yang Jinsen could read and could help post letters, so the two men took him and Daniu with them, planning that if they could find a chance to go to the provincial capital, they would run away secretly.
As long as we arrive at the government compound, we don't have to worry about Feng Qiaolan not giving us money.
Yang Kaiyun repeatedly promised Lin Dahe that they would go to the village to send letters and buy New Year's goods and would never run away. If he could not trust them, he would keep Jin Mei and her mother and daughter in the village as hostages.
Lin Dahe said that women were worthless in Yang Kaiyun's family, and if he had to mortgage something, he would mortgage Daniu and the five newly built blue brick houses in their family. Otherwise, there would be no way of leaving Yanglinpo.
The new house was not even warm enough for him to live in, and Yang Kaiyun was reluctant to mortgage it, so he had to give up the idea of escaping and temporarily leave the house key with Lin Dahe.
Both parties signed a document stating that Lin Dahe must return the keys when they return from the village.
Afterwards, Yang Kaiyun and Fang Pozi took Da Niu, who had been clamoring to go to the streets, to the village...
Although Yang Kaiyun's family's household registration was moved back to Yanglinpo, they did not have any work points, and when the village distributed fish and meat at the end of the year, they were not included.
With so little money in hand, we have to be thrifty to get by.
After Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang discussed it, they bought a pound of meat, a fish, a few pieces of tofu, and some vegetables for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Da Niu kept clamoring for firecrackers, but the two of them didn't buy any.
Da Niu rolled on the ground crying, attracting many people to watch and laugh at him. They said that the food was worth only a few cents and that the family must have difficulty making ends meet. It was not right to let a child cry on the ground during the New Year.
Yang Kaiyun had no choice but to ask Mrs. Fang to buy a 5-cent ground rat for Daniu.
Two cows in a village were fighting, and one of the cows was seriously injured and died. The villagers killed the cow and took it to the market to sell it, which increased the village's income.
It's rare to have beef for sale, and everyone is talking about how to make the beef delicious and how to make the beef soup taste good.
After hearing this, Da Niu clamored for beef soup.
The beef was priced at 1.5 yuan per pound, but Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang were reluctant to buy it. They coaxed Daniu by saying that beef was not as delicious as pork and they would go back and stew the pork.
Daniel: "You are lying! I have eaten beef noodles in the city before, and it tastes better than pork!
Erniu's mother is buying them. We are back from the city. Second Uncle is a high-ranking official. We are richer than them. If they can buy them, why can't we?!"
Following Da Niu's words, Yang Kaiyun looked into the crowd and really saw Zhou Rong and Da Wa picking beef.
After resting at home for a while, the eldest son's skin color became white again. In addition, he liked reading, so his face had a scholarly air. He looked handsome and gentle.
Yang Kaiyun felt that Da Wa’s appearance was the image of his grandson in his mind, not like Da Niu, who was a teenager and still rolling on the ground.
Currently, there are only girls in the family, with Daniu as the only grandson. Yang Kaiyun is unwilling to accept this and wants to take the eldest daughter back.
He walked up quickly, grabbed Da Wa's arm, and said excitedly, "Er Niu, come home with Grandpa, and Grandpa will make you something delicious!"
Seeing this, Zhou Rong handed the weighed beef to Zhou's mother and pushed Yang Kaiyun away: "What are you doing? Do you want to kidnap the child?"
Zhou Rong's force was so strong that Yang Kaiyun lost his balance and fell to the ground, angrily saying, "Bitch, you dare to push me, do you believe I will beat you to death?!"
Zhou Rong: "Come and try. You are a human trafficker who wants to kidnap my son. I will beat you to death. You deserve it!"
When the people around heard that Yang Kaiyun was a human trafficker, the kind-hearted ones immediately grabbed him and said they would take him to the township government and lock him up.
Yang Kaiyun struggled hard, saying that he was not a human trafficker, but the child's grandfather, who came to take his grandson home.
Yang Jinsen and Mrs. Fang also squeezed into the crowd to help defend them, saying that they were not bad people.
Mother Fang cried and said that she was the child's grandmother and that it was the child's mother who had done something bad and taken the child away and did not let them see the child, which made them so emotional.
The onlookers didn't know which side was telling the truth and were discussing the matter.
Zhou Rong whispered to Da Wa, "Do you want to come or should I?"
Big Baby: "I'm grown up now and can handle it myself."
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
Da Wa asked Yang Kaiyun: "You said I was your grandson, what is my last name? What is my name?"
Yang Kaiyun: "Your last name is Yang, and your name is Yang Erniu!"
Big Baby: "Wrong! My last name is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Qingping! This has always been my name on my household registration. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Public Security Bureau to check.
My grandparents and father died a long time ago, and my mother takes me to visit their graves every Qingming Festival.
You human traffickers can come up with any excuse to deceive children. If the bad guys are not eliminated, they will harm the good people. Let's arrest them and bring them to the township government to bring them to justice, so that other children will not be trafficked!"
Yang Kaiyun and Fang Pozi: “???!!!”
Zhou Rong: “…”
This naughty kid dares to say anything.
Fortunately, I didn't favor the Yang family, and it was worth my "careful teaching" for so long...
