Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan’s impression of Yao Chong was still before the third grade. At that time, Yao Chong was called a child prodigy. He learned multiplication and division in preschool. First, in the third grade, I won the first prize in the composition competition for primary school students in the county, and won the first prize in the county mathematics competition...

There is no English class in primary schools in this era, otherwise, Yao Yuan even doubted that Yao Chong would be No.1 in English class as well.

In the eyes of classmates, parents and teachers, Yao Chong has countless auras.

Parents will teach their children to say that you look at Yao Chong and you look at you again. I raise you as a pig, a thing that spoils food!

Such a person, normally, will continue to move forward according to this trajectory. Junior high school, high school university, even if he attends a technical secondary school, it is such a future for him to leave the countryside and become a national cadre and become an urbanite.

However, the world is unpredictable. Yao Chong, like Yao Hu, stopped studying after graduating from junior high school. The reason is very simple - poor.

Like Yao Hu, he returned home to take over the sledge.

Like Yao Hu, he married a girl of the same age in another village according to his family's arrangement...

Putting away his thoughts, Yao Yuan looked at the scenery outside the car window, and then remembered to ask Lin Wei, he turned to look at Lin Wei who was sitting in the back row, "Fei Wei, what's your situation, why don't you stay at home and come to my place?"

Lin Wei avoided Yao Yuan's gaze, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's nothing, it's boring to stay at home, and you won't let me come to your banquet, no, I'll come to you after you finish the banquet."

There must be another quarrel with the family, Yao Yuan can guess without asking.

Yao Yuan simply stopped asking, and he couldn't find anything.Lin Wei's family is a typical native family. Maybe just because of the tone of speech between parents and children, a good and happy event can be turned into a fierce quarrel.

Lin Weihui believed that the reason why his parents always treated him like a child was because he was worthless. However, after he had become the chief financial officer with tens of billions of assets and the richest man in China, he was dismayed to find that the situation had not changed.

This is the inevitable result of emotional intelligence growing much slower than career growth.

But the real situation is far more complicated than others imagined, and it may not be changed in a lifetime.

Yao Yuan signaled Yu Tieli to turn left and drive into Yaojiashang Village.

Yaojia Village, Yaojia Upper Village, Yaojia Lower Village, Xinyao Village... Those with the word Yao are all relocated from Yaojia Village. Yaojia Village is also called Old Village and Dacun by the locals.

Yao Yuan had never been to Yao Chong's house before, so he asked all the way, and finally found the three-room house built of yellow mud and straw at the end of the village.

Pajero stopped in front of the door and naturally attracted the attention of the neighbors. The news spread quickly, and adults and children came to watch the fun.Except for the 212 jeeps and trucks driven by people from the Family Planning Office, there has never been such a domineering off-road vehicle in the village, which is very fresh.

Yao Chong was squatting there cutting pigweed with a big guillotine, while a pregnant woman was sitting in front of a pile of sweet potatoes, picking out worms or too small sweet potatoes and throwing them into the dustpan. Inferior products will be boiled and mashed in a large pot, and then mixed with pig grass to feed pigs.

On the side of Sanjianfang, there are three hundred-jin pigs sleeping soundly in a semi-open pigsty.

Hearing the movement, Yao Chong turned his head to see it. He was surprised to see an off-road vehicle that exuded the aura of "I'm very expensive" stop, and then saw several people getting out of the vehicle.

When he was wondering, one of the well-proportioned young men in sportswear greeted him with a smile, "Yao Chong? Is that you? I'm Yao Yuan, I'm A Yuan!"

Yao Chong froze for a moment, stood up slowly, stared at Yao Yuan, and finally remembered his timid partner when he was a child. He pointed at Yao Yuan, looked at Pajero involuntarily, then turned back and landed on Yao Yuan's face, " You, are you Yuan? Yuan from Omura?"

"it's me."

Yao Yuan strode over, looked carefully at Yao Chong, then at his home, and finally his eyes fell on the pale face of the pregnant woman, feeling more and more heavy.

Before meeting, Yao Yuan couldn't imagine that such a 20-year-old young couple actually looked 40 years old. The pressure of life and all the hardships could be seen on their faces.

With strong limbs and sunken eye sockets, Yao Chong's condition is worse than Yao Hu's.

Yao Yuan reached out to the pregnant woman, "You are Liang Xiaohui, right? I am Yao Yuan, from Dacun, and Yao Chong's elementary school classmate."

The pregnant woman got up quickly, wiped her hands vigorously on the hem of her clothes a few times, held Yao Yuan's hand tremblingly, at a loss, "Hi, hello."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Yao Yuan nodded and turned back to Yao Chong, "Old classmate, don't be dazed, cook and entertain me. I brought wine."

Yao Chong came back to his senses suddenly, quickly moved out the dining table and stools from the room, then took out a thermos, took a few bowls, and poured water, "A Yuan, you and your friends sit down first, I'll cook right away. "

Liang Xiaohui said, "You talk to your classmates, I will cook."

Yao Chong thought for a while, walked out, and said, "Ayuan, you sit down first, I'll go get some food and come back soon."

"How are you going?" Yao Yuan asked.

Yao Chong pointed to the neighbor's house, "Borrow a bicycle and go back in half an hour."

Yao Yuan stopped him, and pointed to Yu Tieli who came over with his things, "I brought all of them, both raw and cooked, let Xiaohui rest, and you cook for me yourself, okay?"

"I'll do it." Yu Tieli said with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

But Liang Xiaohui still couldn't hold back, she quickly took the things into the kitchen and got busy, Yu Tieli went in and insisted on helping.

Yao Chong called everyone to sit down, Yao Yuan pointed to Lin Wei and Jiang Yong, and introduced, "Awei, Brother Yong, Brother Tieli who is helping in the kitchen are all my colleagues."

"Ayuan, Big Brother Tieli is the driver, what's the point of asking him to help in the kitchen, it's really inappropriate." Yao Chong scratched his ears and said, and was about to pull it out.

In this era, the social status of drivers is very high. When people earn more than 300 yuan a month, the monthly salary of state-owned enterprise employees and government officials is only [-] yuan. prestige.

Yao Chong's reaction was reasonable.

Yao Yuan pulled him back and said with a smile, "It is not an outsider who can come to your house with me as a guest, besides, brother Tieli really has a way of cooking, you will know after a while."

Regarding Yao Yuan's situation, Yao Hu didn't tell Yao Chong much, but only said that Yao Yuan donated money to study and build a new campus, build roads, toilets, and ancestral halls for the village, etc.

"Do you still remember that in the first semester of the third grade, we once dug a dozen sweet potatoes from the sweet potato field planted by the teacher in charge, and then built an urn behind the school toilet, and the result was more than a dozen sweet potatoes. Half of the sweet potatoes were burnt, and they all had diarrhea that night." Yao Yuan couldn't help talking about the past.

Yao Chong laughed and said, "I remember, we didn't go to class the next day. The homeroom teacher thought something happened, so he came over one by one. After knowing the situation, he went to the brigade to find medicine."

"That's right, I remember that was the first time I missed class." Yao Yuan said.

"Yes, I have studied for nine years, and that was the only time I missed class." Yao Chong's smile was a bit bitter.

"Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Chen Huichao, really treats us like our own children, and spends all the money we have saved on us." Yao Yuan said with emotion.

After being silent for a while, Yao Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Stop talking about that, by the way, I came back to find the class teacher after I was admitted to university. It was last July, and I heard that she was transferred to the county."

Yao Chong's smile gradually disappeared, and his expression darkened, "The head teacher, she, she passed away shortly after the Spring Festival and was seriously ill."

As if a heavy punch had hit the heart, Yao Yuan felt a pain in his heart, and the voice and smile of Teacher Chen Huichao appeared in front of his eyes. That short "little old woman" was actually only in her 30s, but for the students of Yao's Primary School, she While teaching, she opened up wasteland and farmed land. In order to collect tuition fees and buy stationery for the students, she lived herself like a little old woman...

She is gone.

Looking at Yao Chong, Yao Yuan felt ashamed.

The mentor passed away, and he thought he had much more resources than most people in this era, but he didn't realize it, and Yao Chong, who had to give up his studies and go back to work in agriculture, was the only one in the eyes of most people. A loser never forgets his teacher.

Yao Chong said in a low voice, "The head teacher was not transferred to the county, but went to the county for medical treatment, but it took too long..."

Yao Yuan wiped away his tears, let out a long breath, and thought about the meaning of life again.

"It's all over, A Yuan. Before leaving, the class teacher mentioned you, saying that you are the pride of Yaojia Primary School. After so many years since the school was established, you are the only one admitted to a prestigious university." Yao Chong wiped his eyes and forced a smile.

Yao Yuan said in a low voice, "I am ashamed of my teacher."

"Really, I didn't lie to you." Yao Chong said.

At this time, Liang Xiaohui came out with the dishes and said, "Brother Tieli's fried dishes, you can eat first, and there are a few more that will be ready soon."

"Sister-in-law, you sit down and eat too." Yao Yuan said.

How could Liang Xiaohui agree, and hurried back to the kitchen, waving her hands and saying, "You eat what you eat."

There is a rule in the local countryside that makes Yao Yuan very unhappy, that is, when there are guests, women are not allowed to eat at the table. Before liberation, there was no place for women at the table at any time, and women could only fill in the kitchen.

Yao Yuan signaled Lin Wei to open the wine, and said, "We will eat when everyone is here."

"Don't wait for her, we will eat ours." Yao Chong said.

"Achong, you are also a new generation of young people who want to work hard for the construction of the four modernizations. How can you have feudal ideas that favor boys over girls?" Yao Yuan scolded bluntly, "Your wife is pregnant. Woolen cloth."

Yao Chong had no choice but to say, "Then just wait, anyway, they are all our own people, Brother Wei, Brother Yong, don't mind."

Lin Wei quickly said, "You can just call me Awei. Ayuan and I are also classmates, so we are classmates."

Yao Yuan thought of something, "By the way, where is your daughter?"

This home obviously does not have the breath of a child's life.

Yao Chong forced a smile and said, "At my natal home, father-in-law and mother-in-law are taking it with me."

After a pause, he looked around subconsciously, and said in a low voice, "The second daughter lives with my parents, on the other side of the village."

Yao Yuan was dumbfounded, he was in the same situation as Yao Hu, and with this being pregnant, there would be three...
