Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 217 He Daqing is back!

"Old sir, where do you want to go?"

At the train station in Sijiucheng, an old man had just left the station, and someone immediately came over to ask. The old man looked at him blankly, probably because he didn't know him. At this time, the man patted the yellow door next to him and smiled. He said: "I am a yellow-faced driver. I can take you wherever you want. The price is reasonable. There are already three of us. If we have two more people, we can drive."

The old man looked at the yellow van in front of him and walked slowly over.

This kind of van, called "yellow-faced", was the earliest taxi in China. Because of its eye-catching yellow color, people at the time liked to call it "yellow-faced".

In fact, taxis have been around for a long time. In 1979, a private taxi company appeared in Guangzhou. At that time, China was still in a state of scarcity of resources, and every household could only exchange food stamps for food.

At that time, it was a "luxury product". It is assumed that at that time, when there was not much to eat, who would pursue luxury goods? There were very few roads at that time, and luxury goods such as cars were naturally beyond the scope of ordinary people's thinking. , usually only a dedicated person can sit there.

At that time, once someone in the village spent 3000 yuan to buy an ordinary motorcycle, it was guaranteed to be crowded within a month, and people from the whole village would come to visit. The "yellow-faced" van at that time was considered the most advanced transportation at that time. Tools.

Although the performance of the cars at that time was far from that of today's cars, there were still people who followed the trend. Even during the French Industrial Revolution, even if they were coughing from smoke, they were still proud of being a tourist factory. It's just that at that time, "yellow noodles" were a luxury product, so naturally some people pursued it.

In that era, it was a very satisfying thing to have a "foreign car" for transportation. The "yellow-faced" Daihatsu also started the history of the civilianization of taxis in China. In the era of low consumption, what about ordinary people? Maybe if you can take a taxi, you basically have to rely on your legs to travel. Only in places like BJ can "yellow faces" appear.

When the time came to the 1990s, Forty-Nine City was full of "yellow-faced" vans. Yellow cars also became a beautiful scenery in Forty-Nine City, because Forty-Nine City was the place with the highest economic level at that time. "Rich people naturally "You must know how to squander". Rich people will naturally not be burdened when traveling, so that they can highlight their status.

At that time, these "yellow-faced" cars were all imported Toyota cars, and they were naturally high-end, and the people driving them were almost all businessmen and foreigners.

At that time, this kind of "yellow noodles" could be seen in the streets and alleys of Sijiucheng. The city was full of yellow cars. The technology at that time was not developed, and such cars were just simple means of transportation.

In addition, the small area of ​​Sijiucheng at that time had not yet built roads, so people sitting in the car would feel very bumpy. Even so, people traveling had no other choice. With the improvement of people's living standards, this kind of "yellow-faced" vans began to sweep across the country.

The price of taxis has gradually dropped to a level acceptable to ordinary people, which has greatly facilitated ordinary people's travel. Taxis are no longer a rare thing, and the competitive pressure of "yellow-faced" vans has gradually increased.

Driven by the "yellow noodle" trend, vans across the country are adopting vans of different colors, because such vehicles, which are close to solid colors, are easy to identify.

Although low-quality vans are cheap, they also bring serious pollution to the city.

By 1998, Sijiucheng also began to vigorously improve the environment, and this kind of van was naturally included. "Every breath of gas inhaled, half of it is car exhaust." If this situation is not rectified, life may be affected.

Soon the taxis in Sijiucheng will undergo a major upgrade. During this period, the price of taxis has also increased significantly, reaching an average of 1.5 yuan per kilometer.

Affected by the Four-Nine Cities, taxis in Tianjin, Hebei and other places were also subject to similar regulations. Tianjin Daifa did not expect that it would be in such a situation.

Of course, this was Huang Mian's most glorious moment. After the old man got on Huang Mian, Huang Mian's driver soon found another person who wanted to take the bus. He followed each person and collected five yuan, promising to take everyone there. Delivered to destination.

At the same time, the driver also liked to chat. After delivering the passengers one by one to their destination, the driver turned around and glanced at the old man and said with a smile: "Old sir, are you from Sijiu City? "

The old man smiled slightly: "Did you see it?"

"Nanluoguxiang. That's where the people of Laosijiucheng live. You're going there. They're basically from Sijiucheng. Have you left before and now you want to come back?" the driver asked again. .

The old man smiled slightly: "Yes, I have been away for decades, and now I can finally go home." After saying that, the old man's eyes turned slightly red, and Huang Mian continued to gallop, and should arrive at Nanluogu Lane soon. .

At this time in Nanluogu Alley, the third uncle Yan Bugui was looking for something in the trash can. At this time, Yan Bugui was much older. After all, he was almost eighty years old, but his body was still very strong, but He had lost a lot of teeth, and when he smiled, he showed his toothless mouth.

Here you see Yan Bugui groping in the trash can. Some people must think that Yan Bugui was abandoned by his own son and daughter. The person who wants to clear the names of Yan Bugui's sons and daughters is Yan Bugui. Now he is actually living a very prosperous life, and has not been abandoned by his son and daughter. With the mediation of He Yuzhu, Yan Bugui can get two hundred and one month from his son and daughter, which is eight hundred for four children. , live very happily.

Then why are you still searching in the trash can? That's Yan Bugui's character.

In fact, Yan Bugui in the TV series is a poor man who is forced to be extremely stingy by life.

Yan Bugui's stinginess was entirely due to the pressure of life. As a low-class scholar, the income of a primary school teacher was extremely low.

But in this case, Yan Bugui raised several children, and even the youngest daughter did not give up and raised them healthily.

This is extremely difficult. But he is stingy and takes advantage of others, and he protects himself wisely. He has a sense of philistinism as a philistine.

His searching for things in the trash is not a necessity for survival, but a result of his personality. If he doesn't get something for a day, he will feel weak all over. If he can get something, whether it is good or bad, he will be happy. All day long.

After a while of tumbling, Yan Bugui finally found a few good things. Just after putting these good things into his pocket, suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded behind Yan Bugui.

"Lao Yan, when did you pick up the garbage?"

Yan Bugui immediately looked back. Unexpectedly, he was startled at this sight. Then he blurted out: "Why are you back?"

"Haha..." The other party laughed: "Why can't I come back? This is my home."

"You ran away with the widow, why are you back now?" Yan Bugui asked again.

"I'm just back. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going home." After saying that, the old man was about to walk forward.

However, Yan Bugui hurriedly chased two steps forward: "He Daqing, does He Yuzhu know you are back?"

"I want him to know what to do. It's my home. I can come back whenever I want. Does it matter if he knows?" He Daqing replied firmly,

This answer made Yan Bugui frown slightly. You must know that Yan Bugui now is different from before. Now Yan Bugui's family depends on He Yuzhu for a living. He still respects He Yuzhu very much. What does He Daqing mean now? He had to go home forcibly, which made Yan Bugui feel a little troubled. It’s just that Yan Bugui couldn’t stop He Daqing. Soon, He Daqing walked to the door of the courtyard. He first stood at the door of the courtyard and felt a moment, then strode into the courtyard.

After a while, they arrived at the middle courtyard. At this time, Grandma Li was taking He Guang, Li Xiuniang and Yu Haitang to bask in the sun. When He Daqing walked in, no one recognized He Daqing.

Yu Haitang and Li Xiuniang didn't know He Daqing at all, and Grandma Li was not very familiar with He Daqing either. While everyone was looking at He Daqing, He Daqing was the first to speak and looked at Grandma Li and asked: "Excuse me, He Yuzhu, He Yuyu is at home." ?"

"Who are you?" Li Xiuniang asked.

He Daqing said calmly at this time: "My name is He Daqing, and I am the father of He Yuzhu and He Yuyu."

"Are you He Daqing?" Grandma Li stood up, looked at He Daqing for a while and nodded: "Yes, you are He Daqing. When you followed the white widow, I had just entered the hospital and we had met once. "

"Who are you?" He Daqing looked at Grandma Li in front of him in surprise.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Now that you are back, Haitang, go and call Zhu Zhu and Yu Yu back, and tell them that their father is back. Yu Yu will definitely be happy."

"Hey!" Yu Haitang quickly walked out of the courtyard.

At this time, Grandma Li looked at He Daqing on the side and said with a smile: "Da Qing, you haven't seen your grandson yet. His name is He Guang. He is the child of Zhu Zhu and Haitang. You are his biological grandfather."

The words "grandfather" made He Daqing tremble all over. He quickly looked at He Guang in the cradle, and his whole body trembled slightly.

This is an open space north of Jianwai Street in Sijiu City and south of Guanghua Road. It used to be a residential area. Of course, it was not a luxurious residence. There was also a field. He Yuzhu bought it directly and spent a lot of money. to 100,000 yuan, covering an area of ​​approximately 100 acres.

In the future, this will be the CBD of Sijiucheng. It is located on the third ring road and can be said to be a place where every inch of land is valuable.

Now He Yuzhu is planning to build a shopping mall here, with a total height of eight floors and an investment of about 10 million. Sijiu City attaches great importance to it. This should be the largest private investment in Sijiu City. It gave a lot of green lights.

This shopping mall will take a total of three years to build. Once completed, it will be the largest shopping mall in the entire Fourth Nine Cities.

He Yuzhu has now begun to buy land in Sijiu City, because He Yuzhu knows that land prices in Sijiu City will rise rapidly soon. In addition, He Yuzhu will also donate a large amount of grain and cooked mutton from his farm every month To various places.

It's the 1990s. In fact, life in rural areas has become better, but it is still difficult. However, everyone is pursuing simple happiness through hard work.

Every day life begins with the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs.

In the early morning, before dawn, I heard the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs at home, which was a sign that a new day was about to begin.

Ran Qiuye's family gets up early and prepares a simple breakfast, usually cornmeal steamed buns, a very salty pickle, and a bowl of cornmeal soup. After breakfast, Ran Qiuye and her mother went out to work in the fields.

People in the village have taught Ran Qiuye and her daughter farming skills such as planting, fertilizing, and harvesting. Ran Qiuye and her daughter are busy together for a common goal, which is to hope for a good harvest.

The pace of life in rural areas is relatively slow and transportation is inconvenient.

There are no hardened roads in many places, so Ran Qiuye spends most of his time walking or riding a bicycle. But even so, the two never complained.

Every time they want to go somewhere far away, the two of them will prepare their luggage in advance and embark on a long journey.

Although the journey was difficult, the two enjoyed the walking process, admiring the beautiful scenery and feeling the power of nature.

The diet of rural people mainly consists of staple foods, and rice and flour are the main foods for everyone.

Vegetables, soy products and fruits are also an integral part of our diet.

Although the food they eat is relatively simple, the family always cherishes every meal and feels the warmth and love between family members.

Parents will cook carefully and make a table of sumptuous food. Everyone will share family happiness at the table and communicate with each other through simple meals.

Rural family economic conditions are relatively limited.

Parents manage every penny carefully, and frugality is a virtue for everyone. When clothes are torn, our family members will mend them carefully; instead of throwing away old things, we always find ways to continue using them. Although the material conditions are not as rich as today, the lives of rural people have never lacked warmth and care.

In addition to farming, rural people also have their own entertainment methods.

Temple fairs and markets are the most anticipated festivals for rural people. At that time, the whole village is full of joy and laughter.

People played together, watched sideshows, bought gadgets, and had a great time. These activities allow rural people to feel the power of unity, friendship and common progress.

Although rural life in the early 90s was simple and simple, rural people could also find some delicious game snacks to reward themselves. May is a beautiful season, and everyone will pick locust flowers to eat.

Sophora japonica is one of everyone's favorite game foods. It is usually eaten steamed. Its fragrance is fragrant and greatly increases people's appetite. But be careful when picking sophora flowers. There are thorns on the branches and leaves of the sophora flowers, and there are bees, so you need to be careful.

There are also farmers in need in the village. Most of these people's families are hindered by diseases and disabilities. He Yuzhu donated the grain, pork, mutton, etc. produced on his farms to these people. .

It is also because He Yuzhu's happiness value has reached its peak. Now He Yuzhu has opened up all the land and animal stables, and he is now in need of more happiness points to plant a fruit that can be exchanged for life.
