In September 1977, on the wood village.
In the blink of an eye, Yanjing had traveled to Shangki Village for two full years.
At the same time, the bamboo products of Shangmu Village have also opened up a market, and there are many bamboo products of Shangmu Village in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town.
The price of bamboo products is not expensive, but Shangmu Village has gained so much income, but it also allows the villagers to make more money when they share the money at the end of these two years.
The more income the big guy has, the better his attitude towards Yan Jingze and the Gu family, and the better the Gu family's life is visibly improved with the naked eye.
Early in the morning, Yan Jing got up from the bed and kissed Gu Mingxiu next to him. After the kiss, he felt that it was not enough, so he came for a second and a third.
Gu Mingxiu is really getting better and better!
Gu Mingxiu's biological father was the handsome son of the landlord's family after generations of improved genes. Although Gu Mingxiu's mother was a village girl who married later, she was also the most beautiful among the village girls. Gu Mingxiu's appearance was actually outstanding.
But he was malnourished before, and he worked in the fields all day long, which greatly reduced his temperament and appearance.
It's the same now.
After raising him for two years, Gu Mingxiu has become a lot clearer, he has even grown a little taller, his back has become taller and straighter, and he is reading with Yanjing every day... Today, he is completely like a city person.
Gu Mingxiu opened his eyes and looked at Yan Jingze with a smile, his eyes were full of happiness.
He felt that he was really lucky to meet Yan Jingze.
The past two years of life have been the happiest two years since he can remember.
He had always been the one who was mistreated before, but now he has become the most favored person in the family.
When the two got up, breakfast was already ready as usual.
Gu Yulan and Gu Yuxian get up early to cook every day, but Yan Jingze and Gu Mingxiu get up late... It's not that they are lazy, it's that they sleep late.
Yanjing would open a small stove for Gu Mingxiu every night, and teach Gu Mingxiu more things. In addition...the two of them have nightlife!
Everyone else went to bed early and went to bed at seven or eight o'clock, but the two of them said they didn't go to bed until nine or ten, so naturally they couldn't get up early.
After Yan Jing got up, he yawned heavily, took a water glass and went outside to brush his teeth.
No one in the Gu family brushed their teeth before. In the whole Shangmu Village, few people brushed their teeth, but after Yanjing came to the Gu family, he began to stare at them brushing their teeth, so that the teeth of the Gu family are now the whitest in the village.
While Yan Jing was brushing her teeth, Gu Yulan was feeding the four chickens at home.
Every household in the village, the number of chickens raised is calculated by the head, and each person can only raise half a chicken. Of course, if there is only one person, he can raise one.
The five members of the Gu family raised three hens, and Yan Jing had one for each person. They had four old hens in total.
In the past two years, the situation at home has improved, and the chickens have been eating well. As long as it is not winter, I go to the chicken coop in the morning and I can basically find two or three eggs.
Gu's family still drinks porridge in the morning.
It is public September, and the sweet potatoes in the fields have not been confiscated. They have enough food to eat. They only drink rice porridge. On the steaming rack, there are also steamed pickles and stewed soybeans with meat skin left over from last night.
The old soybeans are soaked softly and add a little bone pork skin or something. It is a big dish. Because the price is not expensive, Gu family often eats it.
Yan Jing sat down at the table and saw two hard-boiled eggs on the table.
He took it and peeled it, and put one in his porridge bowl and the other in Gu Mingxiu's porridge bowl.
He and Gu Mingxiu had to eat one egg every morning. Only the chickens at home laid more eggs, or if someone traded eggs for something, other people had the opportunity to eat eggs.
The stepmother, Yanjing, always does this righteously.
Gu Mingxiu felt embarrassed at first, but then he saw that his younger brothers and sisters were all fat, and their withered and yellow hair had become black and thick, so he didn't say anything.
Although they ate eggs, others also had soybeans cooked in pig skin, didn't they
Before it was put on hold, they would not be able to eat these things no matter what.
Gu Mingxiu was drinking porridge, but when Yanjing was dividing the soybeans, he gave himself a lot of pork rind: "I don't need to..."
"You need to eat more." Yan Jing said, and brought himself another serving of pork rinds.
It's not easy to eat pork skin these days!
There is only one meat stall in their town. After bamboo products, he taught himself to make furniture and gave people a lot of things, so that people are willing to sell him all kinds of scraps that don't want tickets.
If it weren't for him, the Gu family wouldn't have the chance to eat bones, meat, skin, pigs, and water from time to time.
Yan Jing thought so, and gave Gu Yubao a serving of soybeans without any pigskin at all—the pigskin was eaten by Gu Yubao last night, and he will not use it today.
Gu Yubao rolled his eyes, but didn't take it seriously.
He's used to it.
The rough and dark Gu Yubao poured his share of soybeans into the porridge and ate it quickly.
For two years, Gu Mingxiu turned white because he didn't go out very much. Besides reading at home every day, he helped Yanjing make bamboo products. But Gu Yubao was black and strong. Now that he went out, everyone thought he was Gu Mingxiu. brother of.
After breakfast, everyone was busy.
Yesterday, the bamboo products made by Yanjing were placed at the door. At the same time, several households in the village sent some bamboo products they made.
In the past two years, Yanjing has not been stingy in teaching others to make bamboo products. There are several people in the village who have learned to make bamboo chairs and bamboo baskets, but their craftsmanship is not as good as Yanjing's, and they are slow to do it.
After Yanjing inspected all the bamboo products, Gu Yubao brought the burden, carried these things to the head of the village, loaded them on a boat and sent them away.
When Gu Yubao returned from the delivery, he saw that his elder brother was chopping bamboo with gloves on.
Yanjing never hides his secrets. In the past two years, they all learned some craftsmanship, and Gu Mingxiu also learned, but Yanjing generally does not let Gu Mingxiu work, and let him read books by the side.
Occasionally Gu Mingxiu was working, but Yanjing also asked Gu Mingxiu to wear gloves to prevent him from damaging his hands.
By the way, Yan Jing also wears gloves when he works by himself.
"Where's Yan Jingze?" Gu Yubao asked.
"He went to town." Gu Mingxiu said, mentioning Yan Jingze, his eyes softened.
Yanjing works very fast. As long as others prepare the bamboo according to his requirements, he can make many bamboo products in one day!
In this way, he often has time to go to the town, and even to the county seat.
If it weren't for this, their family's life would not be so good.
"What is he doing in the town again?" Gu Yubao frowned.
"He's going to repair the TV." Gu Mingxiu said: "Yubao, he will repair the TV! Last time he helped people repair the TV, they gave 20 yuan, and there are still a lot of tickets."
Gu Mingxiu's face was full of pride.
Gu Yubao looked depressed. At this moment, Gu Mingxiu took out a few candies from his pocket, gave one to Gu Yubao, and gave one to each of the others: "This is the candy that Jing Ze brought back from town yesterday." Yan Jing would buy him some small things from time to time, some for him only, and some for him to give to others.
This candy was given to him by Yan Jingze. According to Yan Jingze, in a family, one person always sings the white face and the other sings the red face. Yan Jing has already become a bad person, so let him be a good person.
Gu Yubao was holding the candy, which was a little uncomfortable.
Sugar is a precious thing, especially fruit candy like this, which is not cheap, and even if their family lives well, they don't have the chance to eat such a thing.
It is estimated that Yan Jing bought a few to please his brother, but his brother brought them to them.
His brother has always been thinking about them.
In the past two years, their family's life has improved a lot, but his brother... Will his brother be dead in the future
He feels sorry for his brother!
"Brother, if you don't want Yanjing, just listen to what you say, and be on guard against him..." Gu Yubao said.
Gu Mingxiu's brows furrowed: "Yubao!"
Gu Yubao stopped talking.
Gu Mingxiu said: "Yubao, the family has been able to live a good life in the past two years, it's all thanks to Yan Jingze, don't always fight against him."
"Brother, I didn't fight him, he fought against me!" Gu Yubao said.
"He's also doing it for your own good." Gu Mingxiu knew that Yanjing was a little harsh on Gu Yubao, but that was also for Gu Yubao's good. No, two years later, Gu Yubao has learned a skill, not to mention all the knowledge in high school.
Gu Yubao's heart was filled.
His brother was fascinated by Yan Jingze's duplicitous guy!
He wanted to stop it, but there was no way... Gu Yubao gritted his teeth, put a chair beside him, a book on the chair, and chopped bamboo while reading.
He needs to learn more!
Yan Jing is that guy who never reads books. If he works hard, maybe he will surpass him one day!
The tortoise and the hare finally won the race, but the tortoise!
Of course, the most important thing is that he may be able to take the university entrance exam in the future - Yan Jing has said several times in private that the college entrance examination will resume sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Gu Yubao's expression changed again.
Regarding the college entrance examination, Yan Jing might just say it casually, how could he believe it? Still convinced.
Gu Mingxiu was also working and reading.
He thought it was a bit incredible - he had studied for two years, and his learning progress had surpassed Gu Yubao.
In the morning, Gu Mingxiu and Gu Yubao did a lot of work.
And when the smell of rice came from the kitchen, Yan Jing came back.
Yan Jing was actually dressed in ordinary clothes, but for some reason, he looked at him like a noble boy.
At this moment, he came from a distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the scenery was full of moon.
Gu Yubao gritted his teeth, and once again felt that Yan Jing was different.
Today, Yan Jing, who is different in appearance, came back with a piece of pork, entered the yard and said, "I bought five catties of pork. Let's celebrate today... The college entrance examination has resumed."
