The Beginning of Siheyuan Blackmailing Yi Zhonghai

There was a lot of noise at the entrance of the village and the news spread quickly.

The autumn harvest had just passed and there was not much work in the fields, so most people in the village were at home.

After a while, all the aunts and uncles, half of the village, arrived.

Wang Tiedan hurriedly distributed cigarettes and candies, but two packs were not enough, until his second brother Wang Gangdan hurriedly ran in, held Wang Tiedan's shoulders, his face full of excitement.

“Tiedan, it’s really you!”

"Brother, if not me, who else could it be? Where are my parents?" Wang Tiedan was also a little excited, after all, he had integrated the memories of the original owner.

"Behind, let's go, let's go home."

Wang Tiedan hurriedly called Shouhou and Dahan to go home together. The cart was taken over by the villagers and followed behind.

After walking a few steps, the group met Wang Tiedan's parents, Wang Gousheng and Hu Yulan who came hurriedly, and there was a girl behind them, his younger sister Wang Xiaoniu.

Wang Gousheng didn't say anything, but in fact, one of his shoes was lost.

Hu Yulan was stunned for a moment, then she hugged Wang Tiedan and beat and cried, venting her dissatisfaction and longing for him over the years.

Almost everyone in the village thought that Wang Tiedan definitely did not survive, otherwise there would not even be a news report.

What else could Wang Tiedan do? He could only suffer for the original owner.

In fact, the original owner wanted to send a letter at first, but he was too embarrassed to do so after his current situation. As time went on, he no longer had this idea, just like the children in later generations who are unwilling to call home.

After hanging around for a while, Wang Tiedan was led by Hu Yulan to a small courtyard. An old lady with a haggard face was standing at the gate, leaning on a cane and hunching over.

"grandmother."

Wang Tiedan walked over and hugged his grandmother's arm.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Grandma spoke weakly and touched Wang Tiedan's head with tears streaming down her face.

"Well, I'm back."

Wang Tiedan subconsciously looked towards home, but didn't see his grandfather. He knew without a doubt that he probably didn't make it.

A group of people entered the yard. There were three thatched houses, a simple kitchen, and a chicken coop, the most common configuration in the countryside.

Wang Tiedan would definitely not forget to introduce his two brothers.

After learning that it was Shouhou and Dahan who saved Wang Tiedan's life, the entire Wang family, including the villagers who came with them, were very enthusiastic and expressed their gratitude continuously.

One sent chickens, another sent fish, all of them were game hunted by the villagers.

This is perfect, and Wang Tiedan also has a reason to exchange the rice, flour and coarse grains he brought.

Although Dawangzhuang is close to a small river, it is surrounded by mountains and the actual arable land area is very small. The village is in a state of food shortage for most of the year.

The nearby Xiaowangzhuang, Shanghe Village, Xiahe Village, etc. are all similar.

When they heard that they could exchange it for food, more villagers came.

A cart of grain weighs about 600 kilograms, and each household can get several kilograms on average, which can save lives at critical moments.

Leave this matter to Shouhou and Dahan.

Before, on the road, the three of them, strictly speaking two of them, had discussed that they could not keep doing odd jobs. The increasingly intense movement of sending educated youth to the countryside might affect Shouhou, who had just graduated from junior high school.

Dahan and Wang Tiedan are fine. One of them didn't graduate from primary school, and the other never went to school at all, so they are not considered educated youth.

Since there is no way to buy a job, you can exchange meat for a few temporary job positions.

In an era when meat is scarce, whoever has something in his hand is the boss.

There are big factories in the village that come here to purchase goods. One reason is the price, and the other is that it is difficult to bring in food. How can they be more assured than giving it to Wang Tiedan, who is one of their own?

Once we get it done here, people from several nearby villages will come over, so there's no need to worry at all.

Shouhou and Dahan were outside exchanging meat, and Wang Tiedan's brother Wang Gangdan was helping. Wang Tiedan was in the yard chatting with his mother and grandmother about family matters, mainly about his experiences in the city.

I'm just barely surviving. I chose to come back now that I'm feeling better.

Wang Tiedan also learned about the family's situation. His grandfather did not survive those three years and died the year of fleeing famine. The man his eldest sister married the following year lived near the Miyun Reservoir. They had a son and a daughter and were living well.

My grandmother has been in poor health since last year, which has cost the family a lot of money. Now she can’t see clearly due to cataracts.

The second brother, Wang Tiedan, is 24 years old. He has found a girlfriend who is from Shanghe Village, but he has been dragging his feet because he cannot afford the ten-yuan dowry.

For this reason, my family recently found a boyfriend for my sister, who lives in Xiaowangzhuang.

"Third brother, I don't want to get married."

At some point, Wang Xiaoniu had come behind Wang Tiedan, pulling his sleeve, tears welling up in her eyes.

"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married." Wang Tiedan pulled his younger sister to sit next to him.

"Once I have made the arrangements, I will take you to the city, find you a job, and then find you a date in the city."

"Don't talk nonsense. You don't even have a proper job yourself, how can you find a job for your younger sister!" Hu Yulan said angrily.

"Mom, don't worry about this."

As Wang Tiedan spoke, he took out twenty folded black tens and stuffed them into his mother's hand.

When Hu Yulan saw it, she was shocked and pulled her father Wang Gousheng into the house. She also wanted to ask Wang Tiedan where the money came from, but Wang Tiedan refused.

Wang Tiedan took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and put them into the little sister's pocket, then peeled one and put it into grandma's mouth.

"Little sister, don't worry. Seventeen years old is not too old. I will definitely arrange something for you next year at the latest. It's just that the house I live in now is too small, otherwise I would take you to the city this time."

"Thank you, third brother." Wang Xiaoniu burst into laughter and was finally no longer so sad.

"We're family, what are you thanking me for?" Wang Tiedan took out another twenty yuan and some cloth coupons and stuffed them into the younger sister's hand.

"I didn't bring any fabric this time. You and mom can get some fabric together and make two sets of clothes."

"Well, I see."

Wang Tiedan didn't look at her again and took his grandmother's hand.

"Grandma, I'll take you to the city to see a doctor in a couple of days, how about that?"

"No need to see it. He won't live for many days. Don't waste the money." Grandma waved her hand. She couldn't see clearly, but her ears were still good.

"Grandma, if you don't want to see a doctor, you should at least see your eyes. If I really can't live for a few more days, when you come back on the seventh day and you still mistake me for your grandson, who can I go to for justice?"

Grandma was amused and laughed.

"Silly child, can a grandma recognize the wrong grandson? Why do I feel that you are better at speaking than before?"

"If you don't talk in the city, you won't get a job."

"That's true."

"Then you promised me, come back to the city with me to see a doctor."

"No, grandma can't drag you down."

"Don't be a burden. An old man in the family is like a treasure. There is an old lady in our courtyard who relies on her age and always wants to bully me, her grandson. Go over and help me bully her grandson."

"There is still this matter? Okay, I'll come over later. You dare to bully my grandson, I'm going to regret it!" Grandma poked the ground with her crutch, obviously very angry.

Wang Tiedan looked at his grandmother's appearance and was really worried that she would be too happy about his return and would not survive the next few days, so he secretly put some spiritual spring water in her bowl.

"Grandma, drink some water and don't be angry. If you get angry, you'll get sick and won't be able to support your grandson."

"Okay, grandma is not angry."

After taking the bowl, grandma began to drink in small sips, and her complexion visibly improved.
