Reborn in 2014, getting rich from the World Cup

New Year's Day.

It was less than 6 o'clock in the morning.

Yang Zheng was awakened by his mother Chen Yue knocking on the door.

It’s actually not too early.

If I were to celebrate the New Year in my hometown in the countryside.

You have to get up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning to open the door to wealth.

That means setting off a box of firecrackers in front of your door.

If conditions permit, we will set off a few more fireworks.

It means that this year will be prosperous and full of money.

On the night of the 12th, you have to stay up until o'clock and close the door to wealth.

Also set off a firecracker.

It means bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, and suppressing wealth.

So in my hometown in the countryside, I basically didn’t get any sleep on New Year’s Eve from the 30th to the 1st of the new year.

The sound of firecrackers closing the wealth gate in front finally disappeared.

Then someone else started setting off firecrackers to open the door to wealth.

In fact, this is quite interesting and seems to be very festive.

But Yang Zheng has experienced more than a dozen years like this, and the novelty has long faded.

His father, Yang Jiaxing, had even had dozens of them, so he didn't see the point.

Of course, they would not go back to their hometown in the countryside to celebrate the New Year just to experience the festive atmosphere.

No matter what, life in the city is much more convenient than in the countryside.

Those who feel that life in the countryside is comfortable and it is a life they yearn for.

If you really go there, you definitely won't last long.

Unless there is a crew to serve.

Now, Yang Zheng's family will only go back to their hometown on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

I wish to wish my grandmother Wang Lian a happy new year, as well as some uncles and grandfathers who are within the fifth degree of mourning.

The same is true for my uncle Yang Jiahe and my uncle Yang Jiawang.

The three brothers will make an appointment to go back together.

This year is no exception.

After breakfast.

Yang Jiaxing called his brothers and confirmed the departure time.

The family went out together and drove to their hometown, Yangzhai Village.

The distance from Huinan County to Yangzhai Village is not too far, only less than 40 kilometers.

But the road was winding and narrow, so the car couldn't go fast.

It usually takes nearly an hour.

Yang Jiaxing drove in a standard manner. He set off at 7 o'clock and arrived at nearly 8 o'clock, which took nearly an hour.

And when they arrived.

Uncle Yang Jiawang had been waiting for them for nearly half an hour.

Yang Zheng took Yang Jiawang's car back to his hometown.

28 minutes.

It was like riding a fucking roller coaster!

So he only sat there once.

Not long after.

Uncle Yang Jiahe and his family also arrived.

His family's car is driven by Yang Feng, and it won't be slower than Yang Jiaxing's.

There is only one reason why I came the latest, and that was because I delayed on purpose.

The eldest brother is like a father.

As the eldest brother, Yang Jiahe has always been arrogant.

This year, that's still good.

After all, he no longer dared to put on airs in front of Yang Zheng.

In previous years, it would basically arrive half an hour late.

Strange?

Not surprising.

Ordinary people who have few opportunities to demonstrate their authority simply cannot help themselves when they get the chance.

Many parents are said to be unable to educate their children, but in fact it is not because of lack of experience or inability to be parents.

It’s because he tasted power for the first time and he no longer behaves like a human being.

Therefore, the poorer the family, the better the upbringing and the more they seem to understand the rules.

Most of them have been domesticated by their parents.

Three cars entered the village, attracting a lot of attention.

Especially Yang Jiaxing’s Quandi Q7.

If we say that Yang Zheng returned home in glory in Huinan.

Then in Yangzhai Village, it is undoubtedly Yang Jiaxing who returns home in glory.

"Jiaxing has made a fortune! He opened the lottery and drew the Hezi."

"No, no, just making a little money."

"Jiaxing has made great progress!"

"so far so good."

"..."

It’s less than 2 miles from the village entrance to Grandma Wang Lian’s house.

Yang Jiaxing drove for half an hour.

I distributed two full bags of dumplings one by one.

No one doesn't like to show off.

After the car stopped in the yard of Grandma Wang Lian's house.

The women from the three families stayed at grandma's house, while the men went out to pay New Year's greetings.

Yang Zheng followed him to the homes of several elders he knew and had a relatively close relationship with.

I didn't want to move anymore.

Yang Jiaxing stared at him for a while, but in the end he said nothing and gestured for him to do as he pleased.

Yang Zheng had done the same thing in his previous life.

He was greeted with a barrage of harsh criticism.

Yang Zheng went back to his grandmother's house, called Zhou Mei, and then went out again, walking towards the hill behind the village.

"Why did you think of climbing the mountain?"

Zhou Mei asked curiously.

"Ah."

Yang Zheng responded absentmindedly and continued walking up the mountain.

Zhou Mei saw that he was worried, so she stopped talking and silently accompanied him up the mountain.

After crossing a hill.

Yang Zheng finally stopped halfway up another mountain.

To be precise, it stopped in front of a grave.

"The tomb of our late father Yang Gong Mingde."

Yang Mingde is the name of Yang Zheng’s grandfather.

The reason why Yang Zheng is willing to return to Yangzhai Village is because his grandfather is here.

So he didn't care whether the first day of the new year was auspicious or not, and went up the mountain to see his grandfather.

He knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Zhou Mei, who was standing by, knelt down and kowtowed without waiting for him to speak.

Yang Zheng smiled and said to the tombstone:

"Grandpa, your granddaughter-in-law kowtows to you."

Zhou Mei was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Grandpa, my name is Zhou Mei, and I'm A Zheng's wife!"

After saying that, she glanced at Yang Zheng.

But Yang Zheng didn't notice her and just stared at the tombstone in a daze.

He probably had only one regret in this rebirth - he was reborn a few years late, not before his grandfather passed away.

Otherwise... he probably wouldn't be as bad as he is now.

Until now, he still has some conscience and has never used any really excessive means on anyone.

It was undoubtedly his grandfather's credit.

He was afraid that when he passed away, the old man would not recognize him as his black-hearted grandson.

"Let's go."

After Yang Zheng came to his senses, he signaled Zhou Mei and prepared to go down the mountain.

Just read it.

Man, there's no need to be so sentimental.

If the old man knew that he had found a wife, he would probably be relieved.

When Yang Zheng went down the mountain and returned to his grandmother's house.

The three Yang Jiaxing brothers have also returned from their New Year's greetings.

Yang Zheng had just entered the house.

Yang Jiaxing led a young man over:

"You still recognize Brother Yang Lin, right?"

"of course."

Yang Zheng nodded slightly and greeted, "Brother Lin."

Yang Lin is of the same generation as him...he is considered a cousin.

The grandfather of both of them is the same person.

The two are of the fifth generation, and their relationship is exactly within the fifth generation.

Yang Lin is considered a legendary figure in Yangzhai Village.

He is a whole generation older than Yang Zheng and is now 31 years old.

He was the first college student from Yangzhai Village to be admitted to a prestigious university. He was admitted to Xia Guomin University.

After graduation, he passed the civil service exam in the capital.

Yang Zheng was not very clear about the specific situation.

Anyway, in 2024 when he was reborn, I heard that he had already become a director, which is the level of county head.

Coming from a rural background and without any connections, it is quite difficult for him to reach this level at the age of 40.

In his previous life, Yang Zheng had no connection with him.

Even Yang Lin never came back since he flew out.

There was no such meeting.

"I didn't expect Xiao Zheng to still remember me."

Yang Lin smiled gently and said directly, "I am currently working at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the capital."

Yang Zheng nodded in understanding and said, "Let's go talk over there."

Yang Lin smiled and nodded.
