sailing in that era

Of course, Grandpa Peng Baili's temper is also not very good. He is born with a hot temper and can't bear a little bit of suffering.

At home, as long as the mother is slightly unfavorable to him, there may be a quarrel between the two.

Also, for the sake of their three brothers, he had a lot of quarrels with his uncles' families.

When Peng Baili had just come back from rebirth, his foot injury was caused by his second aunt who instigated her two second sons, Peng Decai and Peng Mengcai.

These two cousins ​​are more honest and responsible, obeying what the adults say, as long as the second aunt gives them, they can do anything.

For example, scolding elders, petty theft and beating their three younger cousins.

In fact, these two brothers are rather pathetic. They have been studying together with Peng Baili, but they are basically zero in every exam. The teacher asked them to hand in homework, all of which were plagiarized.

Among them, they are not less filial to him, they are good at roasting yams, the yams are roasted golden by them, Peng Baili does not eat less.

Thinking about it now is a bit aftertaste.

The two brothers took the elementary school entrance examination, and the sum of the two scores has not broken through single digits, and they will not study again in the future.

In the original time and space, the two of them have been at home helping their parents in farming. The second uncle and the second aunt came to worry about their life-long events, and no one found them a daughter-in-law no matter what happened.

Peng Baili started walking early in the morning. They were going to the countryside to take the bus, and it took more than an hour (walking) for their family to go to the countryside, and the route was uphill and downhill.

When going uphill, you have to pass the land on the beam of the fat man's house, and then go down in a meandering way.

This road is also not very easy to walk. Fortunately, the sun has been out these days, and the road is very dry. Otherwise, the road is full of mud, and it is slippery when walking. The stickiness of the yellow mud makes people want to walk It takes a lot of effort.

When passing by Liangzi, Peng Baili took a closer look. In 2015, in response to the country's call for afforestation, all trees were planted on it, and within a few years it was a small forest.

And the path they took was slowly becoming deserted.

The main reason is that people in the future will go to the streets by car, and the car road is not here.

As for Liangzishang, it is also an indispensable memory of Peng Baili's childhood.

Here he and his friends let go of horses, mow grass, fight, roast potatoes and bread corn, etc.

I think he had just learned to ride a horse back then, and he did something that scares me even now when I think about it, that is, a dozen of his friends rode horses and ran home from the beam.

The steep slope of [-] or [-] degrees, holding on to the mane on the horse's back, and the horse running wildly, this feeling is exciting to think about, but if you don't pay attention, you will be thrown off.

As for the consequences, you can think of it, it must be a muscle injury, and if you don't do it, you will die on the spot.

In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the path is surrounded by greenery, with red hats hanging on the main part of the path, and the air is unusually fresh.

Mixed with the morning mist, a fragrance surrounds the nose.

Peng Baili enjoyed these things very much, but his father was different, he didn't feel much.

This is mainly due to the fact that he has come here over the past few decades, which is too commonplace.

When Peng Baili and the others came to the village, what caught his eyes was a street that was not too big or small. The houses basically had only one floor, and only the houses where the supply and marketing cooperatives and the township government were located were a little taller.

The supply and marketing cooperative is a two-story house, while the township government is a three-story house.

Because they appeared early, and today is not a day for rushing to the street, there are very few pedestrians on the street.

He and his father didn't linger too long, and went directly to the place where the shuttle bus stopped.

At this time, there were several people, some were passengers, and some were flight attendants selling tickets on the spot.

Father fumbled for his bag for a long time, and took out a wad of money, most of which were in dimes, and slowly counted out sixteen, and then bought two tickets.

Only then did Peng Baili know that a ticket from the countryside to the county was [-] cents. This money seems very little now, but it was already very expensive in those days.

"Boss, it's a loss. This trip is only one yuan and six, which is two days' wages! This trip costs more than that. If you don't get any money back, your mother will be nagging again when you go back."

Father returned to Peng Baili with two tickets, still looking pained.

"Don't worry! Dad, the guy in the pocket will make us a lot of money!"

Peng Baili whispered, looking around while speaking, as if afraid of being heard by others.

Indeed, he was a little worried, afraid that others would know their things. Although the law and order has improved a lot since the crackdown last year, but people's hearts are far away, and everyone has a face that says he is a bad person.

It is undeniable that the folk customs of the people these days are relatively simple, but there are many people who take risks for money.

Peng Baili still remembered that the township where his aunt lived was the next door to their township. The farmers in this township had even less land, and many people couldn't get enough to eat all year round, which led to a bad incident of theft.

This is not a family that is stealing, but most people are stealing.

For this reason, his aunt's house was often stolen by people. One thing he still remembers is still fresh, that is, the New Year's pig that was just killed by the aunt's house during the Chinese New Year was taken away together with the basket.

You must know that the pork was just left outside for a while at that time, and everyone went in to eat a meal of butchered pig dishes!

They were in a bad mood that year.

After buying the tickets, my father looked at a fried potato stand next to him, but he just swallowed silently and didn't go there.

"Brother, you are also entering the county!?"

"Yeah, yo, aren't you old brother Wang from Xiashiyuan? What are you doing in the city?"

"Nothing to do, give some supplies to my youngest son, he is studying at a teacher's school in the county and has no time to go home..."

"That's a good relationship. Brother, your child is really amazing. This teacher is amazing. After three years, you start to teach. Being a teacher is a solid job."

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just desperately supporting him to study, but luckily my kid is also doing his best, so my painstaking efforts were not wasted."

"Isn't it? It's good to jump out of the farm! It's too difficult for us to work in the fields every day, with our faces facing the loess and our backs facing the sky. Let me tell you that my kid is also..."

……

As soon as he got on the bus, his father chatted with others, and Peng Baili also became a background board, catering to him from time to time.

As for the normal students they are talking about, they are actually different from the normal students of later generations. This is to deal with the shortage of teachers in the school, so that some junior high school graduates with good grades can study for another three years in the normal school.

This kind of teacher training can usually be completed in the county. After three years, the government will arrange a corresponding job, that is, to be a teacher.

This kind of teacher usually starts teaching in elementary school. If they don’t improve themselves halfway and get a higher-level diploma, the final result is to teach elementary school for a lifetime.

The road to the county is very bad. It is not a concrete road. There are many big potholes on the road from time to time, and the car bumps from time to time.

Peng Baili felt a little uncomfortable after a while, but he could accept it.

Seeing through the window that there are patches of valleys all around, as well as rolling mountains and lush forests, I feel a little emotional.

In fact, this thing has not changed even after decades.

This Xiongji County in Southwest Province is located at the top of the province and is the junction of the three Southwest provinces. There is nothing worth developing here.

The most is a little more coal, and the limestone resources are good, and the others are useless.

Of course, the scenery in various places is also good, but they are not well-known, and it is impossible to engage in tourism.

In later generations, many people went to the south to work, but the farm work at home was not left behind. Many lands were handed over to the older generation for planting, and the main force of farming were elderly people over 50 years old.

They have a strange attachment to the land, and they will not abandon the land arbitrarily.

More than two hours later, Peng Baili and his father got off the bus on the street in the city.

Both of them found it very novel, and his father rarely came to the county. For him, this was the most prosperous place he had ever seen.

As far as Peng Baili is concerned, he feels that everything is so old-fashioned and old-fashioned. He really can't believe that this is the county town that can accommodate more than 50 people in the future.

The county seat is really not very big, it’s just a bigger street. The main city road is a South Street, and basically the best buildings in the county are on this street.

There are various government agencies on this street, as well as No. [-] and No. [-] middle schools. Most of the houses are just two-story flat houses.

"Ha, let's go have some lunch first."

As soon as his father got out of the car, he took him to a rice noodle restaurant. At this time, a black goat rice noodle restaurant was an old brand.

Seeing his father's disrespectful look, he knew he was greedy.

Each of the two served a 3 jiao (big bowl) of rice noodles, and they were all satisfied after eating.

Peng Baili never got tired of eating the rice noodles from his hometown. In the days to come, he would always miss the rice noodles in the county.

I don't know why, but the rice noodles in other places are not as delicious as the ones in the Southwest, the kind of rice noodles cooked in a proper heat, and there is a small dish of sour radish and a small dish of fried dried chili.

A mouthful of rice noodles and a dry chili, this taste is really a great treat.

"It's delicious, but it's too expensive."

After eating the rice noodles, my father drank the soup directly, and then said with emotion.

"In the future, if you have money, you must eat it every day!"

Peng Baili said a little funnyly: "Dad, as long as our business is done well, it's not easy to eat rice noodles."

My father obviously didn't agree with it, "What are you talking about? If you eat it every day, it costs [-] cents per meal, and the amount of money is not enough to make it."

Peng Baili didn't refute. In his mind, this little money is nothing. After decades, there will be [-] cents underground, and not many people are willing to bow their heads to pick it up.

After eating and drinking, they walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative on the street. Both of them had their own thoughts, but both hoped to have a good harvest.
