Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

In the old house of the Yan family, Mr. Yan was reading a newspaper on a rattan chair, while the old lady was sitting beside him pasting a cardboard box.

Other than that, the home is empty!

During the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable that it will be a little deserted.

At this moment, the excited voice of the fourth child suddenly came from outside: "Father, mother, look who is coming!"

Hearing the voice of the fourth son, the old couple of the Yan family stopped what they were doing, and then walked out of the house.

It's just that when the old couple came to the door, they saw four strangers, two big, two young, and four strangers coming in.

Mr. Yan frowned, and asked with a little doubt: "Fourth, are they..."

Before Yan Gengbei could answer, Zhou Yang said first, "Hello, Mr. Yan, I'm Zhou Yang!"

"Zhou Yang? Zhou Yang from Babaoliang Village?" Old Man Yan asked in surprise.

"Correct!"

Mr. Yan also thought of something at this moment, and immediately fixed his gaze on Yan Wenhui.

Wen Hui also looked at the old man in a daze. He had no memory of this grandfather at all. After all, he was only a few months old when he followed his father to Babaoliang Village, so he had no memory at all.

But he knew that grandpa was a great hero. His father had told him many times about his grandpa's heroic deeds, so in his heart he always wanted to meet this heroic grandpa who had beaten Xiao Dongyang and the Javelin.

However, when the truth was met, he didn't know what to say at such a young age!

Grandpa Yan looked at his grandson, whom he hadn't seen for 8 years, and couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.

"Like...too much alike, you are Wen Hui, right?"

"Grandpa...Grandpa, I'm Wenhui, I...I'm here to see you..."

As he spoke, Wen Hui's voice became a little choked up, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Mr. Yan touched his grandson's little head, and said with relief: "Okay, okay..."

But the old lady at the side couldn't bear it any longer, she stepped forward and hugged Wen Hui, and said with tears, "Oh, my good grandson, I miss grandma, you are back..."

Bao'er on the side held Zhou Yang's hand a little nervously, with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, Brother Wenhui is just a little excited to see his grandparents, it's fine!"

Although the little girl didn't quite understand why she wanted to cry when she was excited, she believed that her father would not lie to her, and her nervous expression relaxed a little.

After a while, when Mrs. Yan and Wen Hui calmed down a bit from their excitement, they all returned to the house.

After entering the house, Zhou Yang realized that the Yan family's old house was completely superficial like a piece of donkey dung.

From the outside, this house occupies a large area, at least not smaller than their Zhou family's old house.

But after entering, I found that this house was only entered once, and the back was sealed with bricks, obviously it no longer belonged to the Yan family.

And almost all the houses in the yard are in disrepair and dilapidated.

The same is true in the house, there is not even a decent piece of furniture, the walls are also full of potholes, and even the bricks and stones inside are exposed in many places, which is obviously not caused by normal wear and tear.

What attracted Zhou Yang most were the cardboard boxes all over the floor!

Zhou Yang was no stranger to this thing. After his parents were transferred back to the capital in his previous life, the problem of work and duties could not be resolved for a long time, so his mother took over the job of pasting paper boxes.

Zhou Yang remembered that he could get 1 cent for pasting a cardboard box. If he was efficient, he could paste 80 boxes in a day, which means he could earn 8 cents.

Obviously, the second elder of the Yan family is also doing this job.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang felt a little uncomfortable.

However, the old man and the old lady of the Yan family didn't care about these things. After welcoming Zhou Yang and others into the house, they served tea and water and fetched delicious food for the two children. They were extremely busy.

"Grandpa, don't worry about the two of you, we just had breakfast and we're not hungry!" Zhou Yang said.

The old man smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come, so I didn't prepare anything in advance!"

"No, I just want to bring Wen Hui to visit your elder brother!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Xiao Zhou, this child is thanks to your care, otherwise... oh!"

"Don't say that, actually, we didn't do anything, but this kid helped us a lot!" Zhou Yang said.

"It seems that Wen Hui is quite sensible!" the old man said happily.

"Well, this kid is not only sensible, but also very diligent in his studies. He got No.1 in the class for two consecutive semesters!"

"Hahaha, what a good boy, just like his father!"

Thinking of his eldest son, Mr. Yan suddenly looked at Zhou Yang, and then asked, "Xiao Zhou, there is something I don't know whether I should ask?"

"You always want to ask Brother Geng Dong?"

"Well, he hurried home last year, saying that he had to go on a long trip for business, and he was not sure when he would come back. He also said that he entrusted the child to your care, and then there was no news..."

"Don't worry, although I can't tell you where he is or what he is doing, I can tell you that he is fine and what he is doing is not dangerous!" Zhou Yang said.

"Oh, then I can rest assured!" Mr. Yan said with a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yang hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Old man, when I came in, I saw green couplets posted at home, what happened?"

Originally, it was impolite to ask people about such things, but Zhou Yang thought it was better to ask, in case the Yan family needed his help now!

The old man sighed and said, "Yes...it's my second child..."

"When did it happen?"

"last summer!"

"how so..."

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about the specific situation. The street office just informed that the second child is gone, and there is no bones left!"

"Could it be a mistake?"

The old man shook his head and said: "Probably not, we also received a letter from the second child's family afterwards, and she confirmed it, but she didn't know what happened. Already!"

Zhou Yang was silent, no wonder Lu Zhengjun said that the situation of Yan's family was not very good when he met him a few days ago, so this kind of thing happened.

"I'll go back and find someone to inquire about. No matter what, we'll find out what happened!"

However, the old man shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhou, thank you for your kindness, but you should stay out of this matter!"

"I know what you're worried about all the time, it's okay, I know how to measure it!"

Seeing that Zhou Yang couldn't be persuaded, Mr. Yan sighed, and stopped entangled in this matter.

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, you plan to stay in the capital for a few days, can you let Wen Hui stay at home for a few days?" the old man said.

Zhou Yang nodded and said: "I may leave in three or two days, but Wen Hui should not go back until after the Lantern Festival. During this time, he can stay at Yan's house to accompany you!"

"That's really good!"

Then Zhou Yang looked at the cardboard boxes all over the floor, and immediately asked, "Old man, what are these cardboard boxes?"

Mr. Yan smiled and said: "It's nothing, just paste some paper shells when you have nothing to do, and earn some money to subsidize the family!"

"Could it be that the above stopped paying the salaries of the old couple?" Zhou Yang frowned.

"It's stopped early, the street has been giving us some living allowances every month for these years!" Mr. Yan said.

At this time, Yan Gengbei on the side said, "If it's just my parents' living expenses, my own salary is enough to support them."

"But my second and third brothers are both in remote places, and the living conditions are not very good. I have to send some money and food to them every now and then. My mother will paste some cardboard boxes to subsidize the family."

Zhou Yang wanted to ask about the situation of the other members of the Yan family, but after thinking about it, it was still not appropriate. After thinking about it again and again, he finally did not speak.

Then, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

"This is?"

"Brother Geng Dong's salary for the past few months was originally intended to be saved for Wen Hui, but now it seems that your elder brother needs the money even more!" Zhou Yang said.

The money was sent to him by Lu Zhengjun when he came over two days ago, and he and Yan Gengdong each got a share.

"No, we can't ask for this money, how can we ask for the child's money..."

"You can accept it when you are old. As for Wen Hui, you don't have to worry about it when you are old. The money and food distributed in the village are enough to support him!"

"This..."

At this time, Xiao Wenhui also said: "Grandpa, if Uncle Zhou gave it to you, you can accept it. I have Uncle Zhou and Auntie to take care of it, so you don't need to worry!"

Listening to his grandson's sensible words, Mr. Yan's eyes couldn't help turning red...
