Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Arriving at the entrance of Qinjiagou Village, Qin Dabao and Cuicui got off their bicycles. Dabao put the sack on the back seat, and the two of them pushed the bicycle towards the village.

As soon as I entered the village, someone called out, "My eldest brother is back, and my sister..."

Turning around, more than a dozen children rushed over, led by the two brothers Dajun and Daquan.

Immediately, a chorus of shouts arose: "Uncle, Grandpa..." There were even two who called him "Grandpa." Every child was extremely enthusiastic, but their eyes were fixed on the bag that Dabao was carrying.

Dabao took out a handful of candies from his bag, and the children were even happier. They all looked at the candies in Dabao's hand with drooling faces. Nowadays, not to mention the countryside, even children in the city find it extremely difficult to eat a piece of candy. It is too difficult to get candy tickets now.

Cuicui ignored her two younger brothers and ran home.

Dabao handed the candy to Dajun: "Go and share it with your friends."

Da Jun wiped his snotty nose with his sleeve and grinned: "Brother, I don't know them, so there's no need to share with them."

The kids were furious. What was the point of having to worry about generations now? How could candy be more important?

"Qin Dajun, are you a wicked person? Don't you know me? I was just in the same group with you!"

"Qin Dajun, that's what my uncle Dabao asked you to share with us, why don't you share it?"

"Great! Eating alone? Beat him up!"

Qin Dajun sniffed the snot that had returned to his nose: "Who dares to hit me? See? My brother is a police officer."

Daquan, who was standing by, clenched his fists and said fiercely: "Brother, don't you recognize me anymore?"

Da Jun was a little afraid of his twin brother. This kid was a bit fierce. Since he couldn't beat him, he would always attack him when he was sleeping or taking a shit.

"Let's get to know each other. You are my dear brother. We will separate later."

Qin Dabao was both amused and confused. He hadn't expected Da Jun to be so protective of his food. He kicked Da Jun and knocked him down. How could he be so shameless? They were all juniors here, and for the sake of food, they even disowned their own clansmen?

Dabao took out another handful of candy and handed it to Daquan: "Don't worry about your brother, share the candy quickly, I still have some delicious food for you."

Daquan answered loudly and began to distribute candies to his friends. Dajun came over with a drooling face. Several children shouted, some hugged their heads, some hugged their legs, and directly knocked Dajun down. All the candies in their hands were snatched away.

He was so anxious that he shouted: "Leave two for me, don't fight over them, leave two for me..."

Qin Dabao ignored them and pushed the cart towards his grandparents' house.

Hearing the noise, some villagers came out and greeted Dabao enthusiastically. Dabao had no choice but to stop and give them cigarettes. In the north, especially outside Shanhaiguan, almost all men and women smoke, and it is not surprising to see a young girl holding a big pipe.

After the death of the Seventh Master, the villagers had a little more respect for Dabao, and they kept smiling when talking to him. Qin Dabao knew what was going on, but he didn't care too much. He chatted for a few words and continued walking forward.

As soon as he arrived at his grandparents' house, he heard crying from inside the house. Frightened, Qin Dabao hurried into the yard and brought a sack into the house.

When I entered the room, I saw my second aunt holding Cuicui and crying, and my second uncle was standing beside her with a letter of introduction in his hand, his eyes also red.

Old Qin and his wife were sitting on the edge of the kang. When they saw their eldest grandson come in, they immediately smiled, their hearts almost reaching their armpits.

Old Qin took a puff of his pipe and said loudly: "Alright! Why are you crying over such a good thing?"

After this roar, Second Aunt and Cuicui finally stopped using their magical powers.

Qin Dabao quickly put down the sack and sat between his grandparents. The old lady held her eldest grandson's hand, and her eyes never left her grandson's face.

"Grandson, what's going on? Is it so easy to find a job in this city?"

Dabao said directly in front of his family: "Grandma, I went into the mountains a while ago to satisfy the cravings of some classmates and killed two wild boars and a goat. I was afraid that we would not be able to stay in the village, so I hired someone to send them back to the city.

I sold a pig to our school, and a cannon basket to the restaurant next to my house to exchange for a job for Cuicui.

I thought, isn't this place close to home? I can go home with my mom after get off work. Besides, the food in the restaurant is good and I can eat my fill. "

Grandma was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits. Now she felt relieved and kept praising her eldest grandson for his ability.

Grandpa was grinning and laughing so hard that he even forgot to smoke the cigarette in his hand.

Dabao was a little bit proud: "This is a formal job in a state-owned restaurant. It pays 21.5 yuan a month and includes three meals in the restaurant. Cuicui, take this job first. I'll change it for you when I find a good job later."

The second uncle kept shaking his head: "I dare not. This job also includes three meals. I will do it even if I am not paid. Oh my God, it's twenty-one dollars and fifty cents a month. I can't even earn that much in half a year's work points. My daughter earns as much in one month as I do in half a year."

Second Aunt was an introvert. She didn't know how to say thank you. She wiped her face and pulled Cuicui aside: "Come on, boil some water for your brother."

Grandpa tapped his pipe and said, "What water do you need to boil? My eldest grandson hasn't eaten yet. Hurry and cook."

Second Aunt agreed and ran out with Cuicui.

Isn't it partial? The grandson and granddaughter came back together, but she only cared about whether her grandson had eaten or not, and didn't even ask about her granddaughter. This preference for boys over girls has been deeply rooted in her bones, but Cuicui, as a girl, thinks this is just as it should be.

Qin Dabao said to his uncle, "Uncle, you have to go to the village to get a certificate. Cuicui and I will leave early and go back to the police station and the street office to get our household registration."

This was a big deal. The second uncle wiped his face and quickly ran away with the letter of introduction. The old lady was so anxious that she shouted at him: "Oh, you little bastard, run slower. If you lose the letter of introduction again, I will peel off your skin!"

Qin Dabao and his grandfather sat on the edge of the kang and whispered, "Grandpa, I plan to open a separate household registration for Cuicui so that she can apply for a separate house when she gets married. As for Xiaohong and Xiaohua, once I find a job, their household registration will also be with their sister."

Grandpa smiled and nodded: "Okay, grandson, you can do whatever you want."

The old lady asked hurriedly: "Grandson, where are the troops and the whole family?" This old lady was extremely partial to her son and grandson, and only cared about them.

Dabao pondered for a moment: "A large army? This is what I think. Let them go to school first and learn more cultural knowledge. They are thirteen this year. In three years, I will send them to the army. I will send them to my uncle. After a few years of military service, even if they can't be promoted, they can be arranged for jobs after they are demobilized. Grandpa, what do you think?"

Grandpa and grandma were so happy that their walnut cracks opened: "That would be great."

Although it is difficult to be a soldier nowadays, it is just a matter of words for Qin Dabao. His grandfather is the deputy commander of a large military region and his uncle is a division commander. This is really no big deal for them.

Qin Dabao got off the bed and took out the things in the sack. Since there was a sack blocking the way, no one would notice if he took out more.

"Grandma, did you finish eating the pine nuts during the Chinese New Year? I got you some more. Save this rice for you two to make porridge in the morning. Don't refuse it. I'll get you more after you finish eating.

My classmate helped me buy this cornmeal. It is as fine as before. I will buy some more when I have the chance.

Here is half a lamb capriccifolia with milk. It's spring now and the weather is getting warmer day by day. You have to eat it quickly. Don't be reluctant to eat it. It will be a pity if it goes bad.

"I asked my second aunt to clean up this piece of lard and a pig's head. Isn't it said that the second day of the second month is the day when the dragon raises its head? It's just right to eat it on that day."

Old Mr. and Mrs. Qin are so overwhelmed with their hands and feet that their eldest grandson always brings so many good things every time he comes.

Grandma's eyes were red again, and she sighed and said, "I didn't get to enjoy the blessing of this son, but I got to enjoy the blessing of my eldest grandson. I have to go to the ancestral grave to pay my respects on Qingming Festival to see if there is any smoke rising from the grave. How could they give us such a good grandson?"

Old Qin chuckled and said, "Back then, my seventh brother wanted to reserve the spot south of the ancestral grave for my second uncle. But when my father died, I was buried there the next day. My second uncle was so angry that he died within three days. He deserved it! Of course, whoever dies first gets the good spot. Who made him die three days later than my father?"

Qin Dabao was sweating. So, Seventh Master and his father were both driven to death by their family? Was this way of death hereditary?

Da Jun and Da Quan ran in with their mouths full of candies.

Qin Dabao waved to them to come over, and the two Dajun brothers came over happily. Dabao took out two copies of "Childhood" from the sack and handed them to them, then kicked each of them. This was a typical case of giving a sweet reward after a slap in the face.

"I'm telling you, hurry up and go to school in a few days. I won't be back to check your grades. If you don't do well on the test, I'll skin you alive even if your grandparents drag you."

The entire army wailed in unison, saying, "I hate studying the most!"

Grandma quickly pulled her two grandsons aside and said, "Grandsons, you have to listen to your eldest brother. If you don't obey, you will be beaten, and your grandfather and I can't stop you."

Dajun Daquan knew that his brother had the final say in this family, and seeing that his grandparents weren't on their side, he could only nod and agree...
