On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Du Yun got up early, washed his face, brushed his teeth, had a meal, and then went to work at the steel rolling mill.
It's like this now. Even the factories don't have holidays. It's pretty good for buyers to have a few days off.
It is impossible to think any more.
When they came to the office, Xiao Wang and others had already arrived. When they saw him, they all shouted, "Happy New Year, I wish you a happy old age."
"Same joy, same joy."
Everyone was overjoyed. After all, the New Year had just ended and the joy of the festival was not over yet. Who wouldn’t be happy?
Section Chief Sun even got them some melon seeds to taste.
A group of people happily chatted while eating melon seeds, talking about the happy things they had done during the New Year these past few days. Section Chief Sun even brought a newspaper to read.
This is real reading of newspapers.
Unlike in the future, although those enterprises and institutions order newspapers, how many people read them?
There are many people holding their mobile phones who seem to have no time to do anything. Who is still free to pick up a newspaper?
Newspapers were delivered to the office one after another, and then they were thrown into the corner to gather dust, with no one willing to flip through them.
Wait until the Chinese New Year and sell them as waste paper.
Now that is really reading a newspaper. Being able to read a newspaper and listen to the radio can be said to be the only two ways to know what is going on in the outside world.
As for TVs, they don’t exist yet. Not to mention individuals, even factories don’t have a TV. Domestic TVs won’t start to appear until 50 or 8 years, and it will take another two years to appear.
In view of the high price of radios, newspapers have undoubtedly become the most convenient way to understand society.
Being able to sit in the office, drink tea and read the newspaper is a rare enjoyment.
"What are you looking at, section chief? Give me one to look at."
Section Chief Sun gave him a newspaper he had read.
Du Yun read the newspaper to find out what major events had happened in the country during this period.
Nowadays, traditional Chinese characters are still used, but fortunately, after a period of adaptation, he can understand them.
They are all Chinese characters, and there may be differences, but you can still understand them and it is still easy to recognize them.
"What did Du Yun say above? Tell us."
"It's nothing. Who told you not to study hard? If something happens, you have to come and ask me."
Xiao Wang and others are helpless, don’t we want to learn? We can’t learn.
People like Du Yun who only went to elementary school for three years and then became self-taught are not so rare. Ordinary people don't have that ability.
Section Chief Sun saw this and scolded him, "You guys have nothing to do. After your break, go down there and see if you can find anything good."
“Section Chief, don’t worry, we will try our best.”
Everyone agreed to leave the factory and planned to go shopping below. Regardless of whether they could get good things, they had to at least pretend.
As for Du Yun, of course he ran to his hometown. How could he be in the mood to go to work on the second day of the Lunar New Year? He would go back and take a look first.
In any case, he is an old man in the family, and they are all relatives in the village, so the relationship between the two parties is extremely close.
Now, unlike in the future, clan power has declined. We are still in the final stage of clan power. In many places, clan power is far more powerful than village committees.
The village chief is not as useful as the clan leader for anything, just say hello and everyone comes up together.
This is especially true when fighting for water sources.
The whole family, old and young, took action together.
If you don’t accept it and don’t listen to the clan, what are you going to do?
The family members are pointing fingers behind their backs, the clan members are pointing fingers behind their backs, and the villagers are pointing fingers behind their backs. Who can stand it?
Since you have a family, why don't you make good use of it and have to fight alone when you are full?
As long as the business is running well, even if the storm breaks out ten years later, it won't be a big deal to him.
At worst, if he hides in the village, no one will cause trouble for him.
Then it won’t be him looking for the informant, but his own grandfather and even his second grandfather and third grandfather will come to your door.
Just ask, what should you do when facing the elderly at home?
You can't be beaten or scolded. What you are doing is not human affairs. How can you do it?
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the village, there was a crash, and a dozen children came over to block the road, banging and banging their heads.
The uncle and grandpa shouted to express their New Year greetings to him, and then they all stretched out their little hands and looked at him eagerly.
I'll go. Besides, we are senior in the village, so you don't need to do this. You are just blocking the road and robbing!
Are all children today so wild?
He had just used this trick to trick Xu Damao into almost vomiting blood yesterday, but he suffered retribution today and felt uncomfortable being tricked.
I really want to ask if Xu Damao came to teach them before letting them cause trouble for themselves.
"Okay, we have them all. I also bought you some firecrackers."
"Thank you, uncle, I know you love us the most."
I don’t mean to love you. I can’t help it. Who can bear to be tricked by you like this?
If they were not all surnamed Du, and were children of the Du family, his nephews, grandsons, nieces and granddaughters, he would not agree to anything.
Because of their relationship, you can only acquiesce. If your relatives and children ask you for some New Year's money, can you not give it?
Not to mention the festive occasion of the New Year, it is the time to give out lucky money. Even if it is not the New Year, if you are asked for money, you sometimes have to give it.
Just like yesterday's game, he did learn it from He Yuzhu, but he recalled that there was the same game in his village back then, and it was not during the Chinese New Year.
A group of children come to your house and sing jingles and ask you for money. If you don't give it, they will say you can't do it. Do you want to give it or not?
Of course I have to give it.
Of course, when my parents found out, they would hang me up and give me a beating.
I had a conversation with my grandpa when I got home, and saw that he was hesitant to speak. It was obvious that I wanted to tell him something, but I didn't know how to say it.
Du Yun saw this in his eyes and asked, "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"
"Originally I didn't plan to talk about this, but you also know that the people living in our Dujia Village are all members of the Du family.
Your third brother asked me to ask if I can find a way for the village to get rich so that the village can have some income."
"Is this what Third Brother said?"
"And what your grandfathers mean."
Du Yun understood that this meant that the elder of the tribe could not refuse such a thing, so he just arranged a way out for himself.
How to choose to cultivate those close to you? Blood relatives are a natural choice.
Just like why there was a major crime that killed the nine tribes in the past, and something happened that affected the family.
It is very common to kill the Nine Tribes and the Three Tribes.
The most ruthless one is Fang Xiaoru, who will directly kill ten clans for you.
According to the current thinking, it is of course cruel and unkind, and it is too inhumane to involve the family in everything.
You must know that punishing the Nine Clans is not just a talk, but there are certain regulations: "Nine Clans" refers to "four from the father's clan, three from the mother's clan, and two from the wife's clan".
The so-called "four fathers' clan" refers to the person's own clan, plus the married aunt and her son, the married sister and nephew, the married daughter and the grandson.
"Mother clan three" refers to the person's grandfather's family, grandmother's natal family, aunt and her son.
"Wives' second family" refers to the father-in-law's family and the mother-in-law's natal family.
