Wuxu is a small county town in Province Y. It became rich overnight in the late 80s and became famous throughout the province. The provincial government even issued a document to learn from Wuxu County.This great honor is due to a group of brave young people. Most of their fathers were honest farmers who worked from sunrise to sunset.

In the era when there was no family planning, there were always too many brothers and sisters in the family. A family of seven or eight people relied on ten acres of land. At three or four o'clock in the morning, they came out of the field with little morning stars; I have to grit my teeth and go to work in the field.Working day after day, apart from filling the stomach, it seems that there is nothing else to look forward to in this life.

Ye Ran's father, Ye Weixin, was the first to eat crabs among this group of young people.Ye Weixin was born in a reorganized family. His parents' original spouses died in the war, and they brought their original spouse's children to form a new family. Ye Weixin is the second child they had together. He has four older sisters and two older brothers.

When Ye Weixin's brother of the same father and mother was born, the family was naturally happy, after all, for the new family, this was their first child.When Ye Weixin was born, this joy faded a lot, because there was not much rice in the rice jar.Ye Weixin's arrival made the word "Chuan" between Ye's father's eyebrows become more and more locked.

Ye Weixin's elder brother, Ye Weiguo, has a thick head, a sweet mouth, and is extremely clever.In contrast, Ye Weixin looked very dull, humble, trembling, and thin like a little monkey.In the era of scarcity of materials, rice, a precious thing that satisfies one's fullness, is only suitable for men who work in the fields.When it was time to eat, Ye Weixin took the initiative to hold the bowl, squatted on the edge of the threshold at the entrance of the lobby, and picked up the porridge with few grains of rice.The elder sister at home asked him to eat something, but he always shook his head and said he didn't like it.After the whole family finished eating, Ye Weixin sat down at the table, checked one by one that no one wanted to eat, and then silently ate some leftovers—in fact, they were leftovers. rare.And Ye Weiguo will take the initiative to fight for it, and Ye's father and Ye's mother love this clever and loving child more, so there will always be more rice in his bowl.

As the sun sets in the evening, the red afterglow spreads in the yard, and the heat finally fades away.Before it was too late, Father Ye ordered Ye Weixin and his brothers, who had just returned home from the field, to chop firewood.Ye Weixin picked up his ax and started working without saying a word, while Ye Weiguo thumped his shoulder and said, "Xinzi, my shoulders are not comfortable today, please help me share it." Then he sat down on the pony pony , Leaning against the red brick wall, closing eyes and squinting.Ye Weixin looked up at his brother, lowered his head and continued chopping firewood in a muffled voice.

After more than an hour, Ye Weiguo had had enough rest, stood up and took the ax in Ye Weixin's hand, and said, "Xinzi, rest for a while, I'll come." , I didn’t need much effort to hack it.” Ye Weiguo said: “I told you to chop it alone for more than an hour, I’m so sorry, my shoulder doesn’t hurt anymore, I’m fine, Xinzi.” Ye Weixin was very moved, and he I did a lot of work during the day, and now my eyes are a little white, and I want to rest.However, as soon as he sat on the ponytail, before he could sit still, he heard Father Ye scolding: "Little bastard, I haven't learned anything, but I've learned a lot from being lazy. I don't know who I learned from. Look at your brother, the face But Hong, let your brother do all the tiring work, squint to enjoy the shade, and see if I don't kill you, you unprogressive thing!" After speaking, he picked up a hoe and smashed it at Ye Weixin.Ye Weixin tilted his head in shock, only to feel something rubbing against his ear, it turned out to be a hoe thrown by his father in a fit of anger.He was terrified in his heart—if he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have a hole in his head right now.Ye Weixin opened his mouth to defend, but because of his clumsy speech, he couldn't say one, two, three, which actually made Father Ye hate him even more.

On the day of Ye Ran's birth, Ye Weixin rode his bicycle to the town to buy ingredients worth 5000 yuan. The running water banquet was held for a week, and the neighbors in the neighborhood were all guests, no matter how far or close they were.

Ye Weixin is determined to raise this son well.In order not to let his son be as dull as he was when he was a child, he often took Ye Ran to the town for breakfast to meet strangers, and teased him to call him uncle, aunt, brother and sister.Xiao Yeran sat on the back seat of her father's bicycle, spitting out small bubbles, and looked around curiously.

At that time, Ye Weixin sometimes went to the county government to do business.Du Jieying was cleaning the bedroom, Ye Ran would hug her calf and whine, no matter how coaxed she was, she was unwilling to let go.Du Jieying had no choice but to hug Ye Ran, Liu Yemei stretched, and said with a smile: "Your father is going to the street again, go find your father, and your father will take you to eat steamed buns." Go to the door to find Dad.

Ye Weixin looked at his son who was clinging to the back seat of the bicycle, and sighed: "Ah Ran, Dad is going to talk about something, how can I bring you, a kid." Reluctantly said: "Okay, okay, I'm really afraid of you. Come on, sit still." Said, hugged Ye Ran, who was wrapped in cotton clothes like a small ball, to the back seat of the bicycle.

Ye Weixin's junior high school classmate, Zhang Qiang, who was the second in command of the County Finance Bureau at the time, had already greeted the county government gatekeeper. Ye Weixin parked his bicycle, and led Ye Ran across the turf into the county government building.In addition to some important announcements such as personnel changes, the bulletin board also posted the testimonials of the most popular civil servants of the year and the results of the government's reading month activities, which are bright red and green, very bright.

It was a young lady who opened the door. It was cold. She was wearing an ivory turtleneck tight sweater that was popular in the city, a beige cardigan, and a rose gray long down jacket on a yellow rosewood sofa. "The Zhang Bureau is in a meeting, but he has already told me. I have long admired Mr. Ye's name, so I don't need your surname to be Li, just call me Xiao Li." Miss Li smiled, nodded and bowed, and shook hands with Ye Weixin, her right hand was painted with nude nails Oil, the platinum pendant on the chest is sparkling.The word "deputy" has never been used in official titles, so even though Zhang Qiang is only the second in command of the Finance Bureau, Ms. Li still respectfully calls him "Zhang Bureau".

"Ah, this is your son, isn't he handsome? Kid, what's your name?" Miss Li knelt down and gently rubbed Ye Ran's head.Ye Ran felt a burst of fragrance rushing towards his face, very like the breath of spring fields, rich and clean.He said in a daze, "My name is Ye Ran, and I am six years old this year."

Ms. Li covered her mouth and giggled, said: "The kid is so good" and asked Ye's father and son to sit down freely, then turned around and took a transparent glass jar from the shelf of the bookcase, which contained colorful candies.She opened the lid and was about to pass it to Ye Ran, but unexpectedly her hand slipped, the glass jar fell on the tea table, and the candies scattered all over the floor.Ms. Li let out a small exclamation, and said to Ye Ran, who helped pack the candies, "Thank you."

Ye Weixin said: "The last time I visited the bureau, I didn't see Miss Li."

After tidying up the sugar bowl, Ms. Li said, "I was only transferred to the chapter office last week. No wonder Mr. Ye doesn't recognize me."

Ye Weixin took a sip of the tea that Ms. Li had just brewed, and said, "This tea is strong, and it suits my appetite. Zhang Ju also likes to drink it when he and I are studying together."

Miss Li said: "Yesterday, Zhang Ju specifically told me that the person who came here today is a brother who is in charge, so be more careful with you. To neglect you is to neglect Zhang Ju himself."

Ye Weixin said: "Zhang Ju is out of touch. Recently, Shenlong has not seen the beginning and the end, and he doesn't know what he is busy with. He forgot that there is me, a brother who worships."

Ms. Li said: "It's not a secret if you say it's a secret. I don't dare to say it without instructions from the chapter bureau."

Ye Weixin smiled and said, "I went to Xinjiang last week and got a piece of fine jade. It's perfect for making a bracelet and Miss Li's earrings."

Ms. Li covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, Mr. Ye is really embarrassing me."

Ye Weixin said: "Forget it, I should have made things difficult for Miss Li when we first met."

Ms. Li leaned over and pinched Ye Ran's small face, and said with a smile: "I like to give convenience to others. Mr. Ye is also a good brother of Zhang Ju, so this convenience should be done."

Ms. Li said: "The county magistrate Guo was reported by his wife, and his superiors sent people to investigate today. This county is about to change."

Ye Weixin knew the county magistrate Guo Yong.He came from a bad background, his father was labeled as a landlord, he was raped every now and then, and he paraded around the streets with a sign.Guo's father can be regarded as a young master, and now he is not as good as a pig or a dog, so how could he bear such humiliation.He already had a stomach problem, and he was in a bad mood, so he vomited whatever he ate.Later, Father Guo had two-thirds of his stomach cut off and had to be tortured.Once, it was said that he had helped the puppet government carry guns before liberation, but Guo’s father refused to admit it.The □□ meeting did not end until the cock crowed.In the early morning of the next day, the Guo family found that Guo's father had hanged himself under the eaves of their backyard.

Guo Yong is eloquent, good at observing words and demeanor, and is very tactful in dealing with people.For example, one time he took the initiative to pour tea and water for the leader, and the leader wondered: "Young man has good eyesight. How did you know that I need to add water to this opaque thermos cup?" It’s so bad, I just thought that there must not be much water in your glass.” The leader felt that this person is careful, and with a little support, he will definitely have a lot to do in the future, so Guo Yong, who was just a small clerk, was quickly promoted, and his career gradually stepped into the ranks. on track.

This Guo Yong has a good official career at a young age, so he can't help but feel a little smug.He used to have a wife—after the death of Guo's father, the life of Guo's family became more and more miserable. When he reached the age of marriage, because of his bad background, Guo Yong had a hard time talking to someone, so he had to find a new funeral in Yangwan Village. widow to be his wife.The widow's dead husband was a well-known gangster in the village. He often got drunk and participated in group fights, and was accidentally injured. At most, he had a few stitches on his head.This day was unlucky and lost his life.The widow and her husband did not have a deep relationship, and were not sad, and happily married Guo Yong.

Unexpectedly, within a few months of marriage, Guo Yong was so fascinated by the little secretary in the office that he often stayed out at night and made a pair of wild mandarin ducks with the little secretary.It wasn't the widow's turn to know about this, but even if she knew, she couldn't help Guo Yong.The mistake was made by the little secretary. She made an immortal move, reported Guo Yong's sexual harassment to her superiors, and sent Guo Yong into the army.The widow naturally found out about this, and she was so angry that she personally testified to the secretary, saying that Guo Yong was dishonest, had a problematic style of work, and was not a material for serving the people, and Guo Yong was convicted of sexual harassment in the workplace.At that time, he was labeled as a style problem, which meant that he had stopped thinking about being promoted for a lifetime.

Guo Yong lost his official title, and this glorious life came to an end.In the past, gift givers lined up from the doorstep to the town during New Years and festivals, but now they have lost their power, the house is deserted, and people point and point at them from time to time. Only Guo Yong and his wife know about his heartache.Guo Yong spends his days getting drunk, angry at his mother-in-law who doesn't know how to judge the situation, ruining his bright future with a few words.The widow was angry before, but now she has calmed down and found that she lost her husband's official hat, not only did she lose the gift-giving flatterer, but she also encountered many obstacles when she went out to do errands by herself. As time passed, she felt even more regretful It's too bad, just hold on with one mouth.This is a later story.

Guo Yong was replaced, and Ye Weixin welcomed it. The former county magistrate had a somewhat sour mentality and looked down on Ye Weixin, the descendants of peasants. Candidates to make a fortune.

Ye Weixin teamed up with Zhang Qiang to curry favor with the new county magistrate, bought land in the town at a low price, and set up a hardware factory with a loan. Although life was not considered rich and expensive, it was also well-fed and well-fed. I won’t repeat the process here. .
