The car slowly entered the alley. The little land that was allocated to my family back then still belongs to my family. It doesn't mean that once you have registered in the city, you have to occupy this land and never let it go. It's not like this. The land in the countryside has been for decades.
The purpose of not moving is so that each can plant suitable crops according to the situation. For example, if a fruit tree cannot be planted anymore, it will only start to bear fruit after three to five years. Then you can adjust the land? Besides, some people are diligent and take good care of the land.
Fat. With those lazy people, the land would be covered with weeds. Therefore, the land belongs to whose family it belongs. For example, my household registration has been transferred to the city, but I still have my grandma’s household registration and my uncle’s household registration at home.
, it is true that these lands belong to the collective, but their own families can contract them back, as long as they pay a certain amount to the village every year.
Therefore, this land still belongs to the family.
Over the years, my grandparents have planted fruit trees on this land, and there are all kinds of fruit trees. There is a circle of vegetables on the edge. People in the alley have vegetables to eat. It is said that the small vendors selling vegetables are all
I don’t like coming to this alley anymore.
Now grandpa and grandma still live here, closer to the uncle's family. But in the future, they will not live there. Grandpa and grandma will have to live in the new house. The yard here is for the uncle's house, and there is a courtyard in the uncle's alley.
One hospital, plus the storefront that the uncle bought on the street, and three homesteads. The uncle’s family has three sons, and these three have a hard time studying. Even if they go out to work in the future, they will basically be unable to leave their hometown.
.
As the car got closer, I could see apples and pears still hanging on the trees. They had to wait until after the National Day to be considered delicious. They can be eaten now, but they are a bit sour.
At this moment, grandparents and uncles and aunts all came out in a hurry. Jin Kuai sighed, "I'm older now."
Yes! The eldest uncle is probably the one who suffers the most in this family.
As soon as the car stopped, the uncle came over first and said, "Your parents are also brave. You have only been driving for a few days, and they dare to ask you to drive back? Are you playing on the highway?"
Jin Mingming hugged her uncle, "I took the national highway all the way down, and it took me two and a half hours to get home." As she spoke, she hugged her uncle again and said, "I called you to go to the city with my uncle.
No! What are you afraid of if you stay for ten and a half months?"
Qin Yindi laughed and said, "The work at home is all about being able to free your hands. Isn't there a shop? That's how business is done. You can't do anything if you tie people up in a shop."
Over there, Yang Shuhui pulled her grandson, and Jin Yin urged them one by one to enter the house, "Hurry, let's eat!"
As I was walking home, a motorcycle came from the other end of the alley, stopped after a while, "Sister, Jin Dou, are you back?"
This is Xiaojun, the eldest son of the uncle's family.
Jin Mingming pointed to the motorcycle and said, "Teach me how to ride it after dinner!"
good!
Qin Yindi glanced at her son sideways and said, "It's a bit strange. The boss is not young anymore. Why are you strolling around?"
Jin Mingming quickly said, "While I'm at home these two days, tell him to take a walk! My dad told me to take Xiaojun to the city when I leave." This kid graduated from junior high school this year, but failed to pass the exam.
High school. My mother wanted to go to the city to study for one year and then take the exam for another year. But the boy was not happy and said he wanted to learn how to become jealous.
In recent years, it has become difficult to make a living by making homemade vinegar, and the non-staple food is much more abundant than in previous years. There is a kind of finished vinegar for sale, which looks clean and hygienic, and is convenient to buy. If you are willing to buy this kind of loose vinegar, just
Less. Or after a few years, I feel that industrial products are not good or have too many additives. At that time, it is unknown if anyone will want to buy home-made grain vinegar and persimmon vinegar. But for now, if the uncle doesn’t want to make it,
If it's too big, this business will actually not be very prosperous. The shop will switch to other businesses, and the income will be better than selling vinegar.
So the real problem lies here, how to arrange the child in the uncle's family. The uncle did not say anything, but his parents cannot pretend that the problem does not exist. The old man is very well off financially at home, and he also subsidizes the uncle's family, but the person who takes care of the old man,
There must be more uncles and aunts. Then your parents have to take the lead. You can also recruit workers into the unit, but in this industry, many jobs are actually high-risk. However, those related to machinery are still
There is one industry, that is, operators.
For example, cranes could not be produced domestically in the past and relied entirely on imports. In recent years, the domestic market has been almost paved, and even abroad, orders have already flown and seem to be flying back. In the coming years, infrastructure personnel will be needed
Yes. But there is a shortage of technical talents in infrastructure. New machines require new operations. This year the group has established its own technical school. If your children have not studied after graduating from junior high school and high school, then come and let us learn technology. It is not a group.
As long as the internal students have heard about it, want to sign up, and meet all the physical conditions, they can do it. Therefore, Xiaojun can go to study. What to do after studying is up to his father. As long as he learns technology.
If he is good, it is okay to stay in the group. Because any machine needs to be tested before leaving the factory, he can rely on technology to make a living for a lifetime.
Didn’t Jinyin rely on his driving skills to make a living for his whole life?
In the view of the Jin family, didn’t Fourth Master rely on his forging skills to get where he is today?
So, what’s wrong with learning technology? Is it shameful to learn technology?
As soon as Mingming said it, Qin Yindi immediately said: "Did you hear that? Your fourth uncle has thought of everything for you. Study hard, and the master who teaches you will teach you the most carefully for the sake of your fourth uncle!"
Xiaojun is very happy! We are very happy to play with cars! We can learn to use motorcycles by ourselves, but we can’t play with agricultural machines by ourselves? We still love this. He also asked in a low voice, "Sister
, then in these two days I will teach you how to ride a motorcycle, and you will teach me how to drive."
make a deal!
Damin glanced at his son and told him to shut up and stop talking! Then he turned his face and asked Mingming, "Then if the school recruits students, can other children also go? Do you want to tell us in our village that if anyone is willing, they can call me
Go away, baby! Anyway, if we don’t say anything, Heita and the others will talk.” It’s all about learning, and in terms of arrangements, my son will be considered by the fourth child in the future, and he will definitely make arrangements. In fact, this is no one’s business.
With the skills the kids have learned, wouldn’t they make money by operating construction machinery on construction sites?
That's what I mean! Jin Mingming nodded, "I can tell you the news, but now most people are still willing to ask their children to get a diploma. In the future, we will get a vocational skills certificate, which is not the same as a diploma. It depends on everyone's wishes.
.Some people would rather go to private technical secondary schools than learn technology.”
That's right! You can't force it.
When we came back, we had so much fun. After dinner, we picked persimmons at the door. The persimmon tree was now very thick and tall. She grabbed the branch and jumped directly to the tree. Once she stood on the tree, she could
She was so powerful that she could see other people's yards. She teased the dogs in the yard opposite, which made them bark. She made a noise with Jin Suo, who was resting for a while. When she looked up, she pointed at Jin Mingming.
"I'll know you're back as soon as I make a scene! Just be careful and don't fall!"
Jin Mingming stood on the tree and said hello, "Uncle Jin Suo, come home for dinner in the afternoon. I brought good wine."
"You have to have a drink without shouting! Your father and mother won't come back?"
"If you can't come back, when you are done with your work, we will all go to the city and my dad will host a banquet."
People in half the alley were shouting and came out with bowls in their hands. Jin Mingming came down from the tree and squatted on the steps, talking to this and that, talking nonsense, not like a serious person.
Yang Shuhui was so worried that she murmured to Qin Yindi: "I'm a big girl, let's just go up and down. Look at her dishonest look! If she becomes a soldier again, who would dare to marry her?"
Qin Yindi said, "I want to marry but I still don't want to get married! As for our Mingming family, who else's young man can be worthy?"
Yang Shuhui is so angry! The family is used to this! There are so many children in the Jin family and the Lin family, but they are so surprised that they only gave birth to this one girl. Even her own family can't get used to this, it must be her grandfather
Grandma, including her uncle and aunt, are all pampered, and everything is up to her. Coupled with her grandpa's position, her uncle is now a master. Being so pampered, doesn't it make him more bold and not afraid at all?
?
Tossing around missiles, I’ve only seen this thing on TV! Throw one in and destroy half of the city.
So, it’s too late to make a fuss. The grandma still tells the child, “It’s okay to cause trouble at home, but you can’t make trouble again, you know? Once that thing makes trouble, it will be a big deal! Our family can’t handle it.
Yeah! Your grandma and your uncle can't handle it either."
Jin Mingming coaxed her grandma seriously, "Where are you thinking? That thing just sounds scary! In fact, that thing is similar to electricity. Did you also feel afraid of people when you first used electricity?
That thing can electrocute someone accidentally. But look, after using it for so many years, what happened? Turn on the switch, and the light comes on. Turn off the switch, and the light goes out."
Yang Shuhui really didn’t understand this and asked, “Does that thing have a switch on it?”
Well! What do you think, "I'll add a fuse to the switch later. Don't worry, it's safe."
Then Yang Shuhui took it seriously, "Let's just say, no matter how stupid your parents are, they will never let you do this."
Yes! Yes! You can rest assured, "Our family can take care of us if we cause trouble. Although my grandpa has retired, my dad has risen in rank!"
Where can your dad go?
"The reports are all up, and as the group moves up a level, my dad's level will go up. He should be on par with my grandpa!"
Just brag! Yang Shuhui doesn’t even believe it.
Jin Mingming didn't explain any more. He really only stayed at home for two days and left before dawn on the third day. At this time, the people drying the grain hadn't been pulled to the highway yet, so the road was easy to walk.
Grandma Ma also said sincerely that this smelly girl didn't cause any harm to me when she came back this time. But what happened? She got up and went to the hut, only to find that the chicken coop door was open.
Where is my chicken?
Just when he was about to start yelling at Jin Mingming, he noticed a cloth bag hanging on the chicken coop door.
He took off the cloth bag and opened it. There was a wad of money in it. He took it out and counted it, and it turned out to be two thousand. There was a note inside: Old lady, you said something bad about me again, the chicken is confiscated! The money is a deposit.
, I will come back every year to get chickens. Also, I heard that you have something growing on your knee and it hurts you all the time! Look, I said that people can’t live too evil, this is retribution! Come and get the deposit.
The hospital should ask the doctor to cut off the bad things that have grown out! I also asked you to raise chickens for me.
The old lady's eyes were red when she took the money. Her sons were having a hard time. What could the mother do if she was sick? Just endure it and just take the painkillers. Who knew that this smelly girl came back and heard about it? She stayed here.
Just bet such a sum of money.
She curled her lips and cursed, but she wrote an IOU and sent it to Yang Shuhui, "Don't come back that stinky girl of yours, she will bring disaster when she comes back! How much is my chicken worth?
Has she ever thought about it? She just wants to have chickens to eat every year with two thousand dollars? Look, it’s beautiful for her! I’ve used the money, and I’ll pay her back later! She wants me to raise chickens for her, but there’s no way!”
Only then did Yang Shuhui know where the sack of live chickens that Jin Mingming threw into the trunk came from! She called Xiaojun, "Didn't you say they were bought on the street?"
Qin Yindi came out and said, "Mom, Xiaojun followed you and you forgot?"
I really forgot about it! I’m used to shouting and shouting! Nowadays, the trouble is that there are fewer and fewer children and grandchildren staying at home. I thought about it for a while, and then I said it’s nothing to do with this person surnamed Ma.
Limped away.
Look! He was standing in the alley again, shouting and reading the note left by Jin Mingming. After reading it, he started to accuse Jin Mingming again, "...I went to bed very late last night, it was almost eleven o'clock, I remembered it exactly
Yes, when I went to the latrine, I heard the cuckooing in the chicken coop. That stinky girl left before dawn in the morning, so she had to get up at five o'clock. In this little time, she got up in the middle of the night and took my chicken.
There are even chickens in the nest! My little hen that opened the nest back then is laying eggs..."
Everyone in the alley laughed. Jin Mingming, this kid, really cares about things! He never does things right, but he remembers everyone’s affairs.
I brought hard-to-find medicines to the elderly of this family, and a complete set of teaching materials to the children of that family who were going to be in the third grade of junior high school. The teacher didn’t have to borrow them when they called for classes in advance. I even brought a lot of materials. That family
When she told a girl that she wanted to find a private technical secondary school, she brought a lot of information about the technical secondary schools, which ones were reliable and which ones were not, and she explained them in detail.
The old horse and I were at odds with each other, like a pair of old enemies, but before I left, I was still thinking about something growing on the old horse's leg, which was affecting his ability to move around.
But once this kid becomes a soldier, he will come back many times.
Yes! The children come back less frequently.
After returning to her hometown, she still had to go to the capital. Wu Xiuzhen had grown old in the past few years, so she pulled Jin Mingming and was reluctant to leave, "Your uncle joined the army and left for ten years... Now that you are leaving again, you said, grandma
At such an old age, how many times can I still see you?"
Jin Mingming smiled and said, "You live a long life! When you are a hundred years old, I will not go anywhere and will be at home with you every day."
Go! You naughty kid, you don’t have a serious word in your mouth.
Lin Shuangchao looked at the child and said, "You choose your own path. No matter how tiring or difficult it is, you have to walk it yourself."
I understand! Grandpa Lin Shuangchao sighed, "Grandpa will retire in half a year. If you don't have time to see grandpa, is it okay for grandpa to visit relatives and see you?"
Hey! You are here to visit relatives.
No matter how much you are reluctant to let go, your children will eventually spread their wings and fly when they grow up.
When the freshmen were reporting, Fourth Master asked for leave, and together with Tongtong, they went to see Jin Mingming with their golden mace.
This kind of school is no better than others, and parents can't go there.
Standing at the school gate, Tongtong tidied the children's clothes and said: "Your father and I are in good health, and we are still young, so we don't need you to worry about us. Jin Mace is very sensible and has good grades, so we need to worry about him."
It’s not much, you can rest assured at home.”
Jin Mingming was confused for a moment and didn't understand why his mother was talking about starting school.
Just as she was confused, she heard her father call out: "Jin Guibi!"
This call was extremely serious, and the name was still called.
No one in the family has ever called her by her first name.
She couldn't help but stand straight: "Dad!"
The fourth master looked at his daughter, and then said: "Stretch out your hand."
Jin obviously didn't understand why, but he still stretched out his right hand with the palm facing upward.
Fourth Master raised his hand and scratched Jin Mingming's palm with his fingers, and then asked Jin Mingming, "What is this word?"
"Country!" Jin Mingming was sure, it was a country in traditional Chinese.
His father nodded, "It turns out that this character does not have the square frame outside. Without a border, it means there is no boundary, which means 'Is the whole world the king's land'. Look again, if there is no square frame, this character is What kind?"
Or? Of course the ancient meaning is different. What does this word mean?
His father told her: "This word is the original country, which appears on He Ding. If you take this word apart, it is composed of a horizontal line, a mouth, and a Ge. A horizontal line represents territory; a mouth represents life. The population and people in this territory; there is also Ge, what does Ge refer to? It refers to soldiers, the army! Ge protects the territory and population, and this is how it becomes a country!"
Jin Mingming was solemn, then nodded, understanding the meaning.
The Fourth Master looked at her and said, "Jin Guibi, from the moment you received the notice, you were a soldier first, and then the daughter of me and your mother. Wait a moment, turn around, and step into the door. That means you pledge yourself to the country. From then on, you put the country first and then the family!" This is what your mother meant when she told you.
Jin Mace's eyes turned red when he was told, "Sister, you are not an only child, you have me at home."
Jin Mingming looked at her parents, raised her hand and patted her brother's arm, took two steps back, then turned around and walked away, stepping into the door before she turned around and looked this way.
Then he stood up straight and raised his hands in a military salute.
Tongtong waved his hand: Go ahead! Go ahead and report.
Jin Mingming stood still while other classmates simply said goodbye to their parents and passed by one by one. Whether they realized this or not, she didn't know! But at this moment, she really realized that her parents' days were few and far between. What a pity.
Growing up, it turns out that this is growing up!
Growing up means facing countless choices and taking responsibility.
Her parents stood there, as tall and straight as she remembered when she was a child! She didn't move, but her parents did. Her father took her mother's hand and turned around to leave. Her younger brother waved his hand and followed after his parents.
She didn't even remember what it felt like to cry, but she still shed tears at this moment.
Are you willing to do so?
Reluctant! Children can’t let go of their parents, and parents can’t let go of their children.
Fourth Master held Tongtong's hand and only said: "I'm here!"
Before Tongtong could say anything, Jin Kai held her mother's hand over there and said, "Mom, I'm here too! I'll take you and my dad with me wherever I go from now on!"
What a silly thing to say! She said, "Your sister chose what she wanted to choose, and you will choose what you want to choose in the future."
Jin Mace thought 'hmm' for a long time before saying, "I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative again in the future..."
Huh? This place is almost bankrupt! But the organizational structure is still there, why would you think about going there in the future? You have to take the civil service exam, right?
Jin Mace said, "I want to finish what my grandpa and my dad wanted to do but didn't have time to do it."
What do you want to do? I want every village and town to have a real institution that serves rural farmers!
The fourth master patted his son's head and said, "Okay!" Just do it if you want to, "I'll tell your grandpa when I get back!" Lin Shuangchao felt somewhat comforted even if he retreated.
"Well!" Jin Kuai pulled his mother, "So, I will always be here."
Her mother only smiled and said nothing.
The Fourth Master held Tongtong's hand tightly. He understood what Tongtong meant. Tongtong wanted to say: Your father is the only one who can really be here forever!
Yes! I will always be there! If you are here, I will be there!
