In rural Lindu in 1986, the income of most farmers was very low.

Some farmers work in forest farms, or those with more flexible thinking and boldness can earn higher incomes, while most others can only rely on the output of the fields.

There is a lot of land in the Northeast, but the yield per mu is also very low. After paying the public grain and leaving enough rations, there really isn't much left.

Workers can earn 2 to 3 yuan a day. During this period, Wang Yuan thought carefully and realized that at least most of the farmers in Wangjiatun could not earn this much by farming, and their income was very, very low.

So 10 yuan is not small money.

After sending his third aunt away, Wang Yuan hung the roe deer leg in the well. The low temperature in the well could delay the rot of the roe deer leg.

He plans to go to the city tomorrow.

"Second brother, eat grapes." The little girl moved a small stool and picked a bunch of grapes from the grape trellis, making a squealing sound and wanted to give it to Wang Yuan.

There is a grape trellis on the east side of the yard. The bunches of purple-red grapes are very beautiful. I eat next to the grape trellis every evening.

"Well, it's so sweet." Wang Yuan took a grape and put it into his mouth, spit out the grape skin and threw it to the chicks: "Where are our parents?"

"Let's go to my third uncle's house."

"Well, Third Uncle has too many family members, maybe I didn't see them."

After a while, my parents came back, carrying the portion of roe deer meat. They originally planned to make vegetable buns at noon, but now it was time to make meat buns.

It's around 12 noon.

Mother Wang took the unfinished firewood out of the stove and put it on the ashes outside the door. Then she came back and opened the lid of the pot, and a burst of aroma instantly wafted out.

"Meow meow~"

"Woof woof~"

The big white cat and the big wolf dog were walking around the house. They also wanted to eat meat buns.

"Too much alkali was added, and some of the buns turned yellow." Mother Wang picked up the buns on the grate and served them to the table.

A bite of green onion dipping sauce and a bite of meat buns, full of happiness.

"It's delicious." Wang Yuan didn't mind it being too hot. He sat cross-legged at the kang table and ate the rice. The stuffing of the buns was very fragrant.

"Eat slowly, there's more." Mother Wang broke open a bun and handed half of it to the little girl.

"Hmm, have the roe deer meat been made into steamed buns?"

"No, there is still some meat stuffing left, which can be made into wontons... Xiaoyuan, after dinner, you can ride your bike to deliver some meat buns to your sister and your eldest brother."

"Yeah, okay."

Next to the kang table at home were Mother Wang, Wang Yuan and the little girl.

Wang's father was drinking at his third uncle's house, his eldest brother was working in the village, and his eldest sister was studying in high school in the county.

At this time.

There was a shout from outside the house. It was my cousin Wang Hu who came over: "Mom, brother, go over there to eat."

Wang Hu opened the door curtain and entered the house.

Mother Wang smiled and said: "There are too many people over there, so we won't go there. Hu Zi, you can eat a meat bun here."

"Okay, then I'll taste half of it." Wang Hu said with a smile. He seemed to be drunk, his face was very red and he spoke a bit loudly.

He was sent out by his third aunt. Out of courtesy, he asked Mama Wang and the three of them to go there to eat. After making sure that the three of them could not go there, he finished half of the meat buns and left.

Chatting while eating.

Mother Wang said to Wang Yuan: "Your Aunt Hong is really angry. Your third uncle and third aunt sent venison to her house, but they both had a straight face."

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "If you don't want it, just don't. Why do you have to send it away? I feel that my third aunt has done nothing wrong."

"You kid... after all, you belong to your cousin's uncle's family."

Wang Yuan's grandfather has three brothers, Wang Yuan's grandfather ranks second, and Aunt Hong is the daughter-in-law of the grandfather's family and the wife of his cousin "Wang Jianguo".

Dad Wang and Wang Jianguo are cousins.

The blood relationship is very close.

It's just... we didn't get along very happily.

Wang Yuan attended high school, and his academic performance was quite good. He was among the top three in a class of more than 50 people, and occasionally ranked first in the class. Even if he occasionally performed abnormally, he never fell out of the top 10.

It's a pity that in the first year, only two people from their class were admitted to university, and Wang Yuan just missed out.

He was unwilling to repeat the studies for another year, but his grades in the second year were not as good as those in the first year. He lost his temper and gave up completely.

Wang Yuan could not forget that when she found out that he still failed to pass the college entrance examination after taking the college entrance examination for the second time, Aunt Hong almost laughed out loud, her eyes seemed to say - I knew you couldn't pass the college entrance examination.

His uncles and aunts, on the other hand, all comforted him, with pity on their faces and no gloating about his misfortune.

So Wang Yuan hates Aunt Hong.

After eating, Wang Yuan wanted to lie down on the kang and nap for a while, but the little girl was not sleepy at all and crawled around like a little dog. Wang Yuan was so noisy that he couldn't sleep.

He casually played the little girl until she lost her head, and ended up playing the little girl until she burst into tears.

…

Meat buns contain both white flour and roe deer meat, which is the best thing, so Wang’s mother asked Wang Yuan to send some to his sister and eldest brother.

I pushed the bicycle from my grandfather's house and hung a bamboo basket on the right side of the back seat. Mother Wang put two packages of meat buns in it, and in addition there was a jar of pickles:

"Xiao Yuan, ride slower on the road and come back early."

"Well, I understand."

Seeing the little girl tugging on his clothes and trying to climb on him, Wang Yuan immediately bent his fingers to flick her. The little girl was so scared that she quickly covered her head, looking so cute and cute.

Kicking his feet and crossing his legs, Wang Yuan sat firmly on the back seat of the 28-bar bicycle, said hello to Wang's mother, and quickly left.

The breeze blew in my ears, very cool.

Occasionally, a truck from a forestry farm would pass by, running very fast as if he was rushing to reincarnate. He hurried to the side of the road to avoid it, and waited for the dust in the sky to dissipate before riding hard while holding his breath.

Soon I went to the countryside and met my elder brother in the courtyard of the township government.

Wang Wen is 22 years old, wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit and holding an enamel vat. He was a little surprised by Wang Yuan's arrival, but then fell silent.

"Brother, I brought you my mother's steamed meat buns stuffed with roe deer meat." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

After a long silence, the elder brother said "hmm" and stretched out his left hand to take the bun.

"Okay, I'm leaving. I have to go to the county town to deliver meat buns to Xiaoqing." Wang Yuan saw that his elder brother had nothing to say, so he pushed his bicycle and walked outside the township government.

The township government is just a farmyard, with bungalows and a few vegetable beds in the corner. I wonder if the person pulling rice from the vegetable beds is the deputy mayor or something like that.

"Wait a moment."

Knowing that Wang Yuan was going to the county town to see his sister Wang Qing, eldest brother Wang Wen's eyes flashed with light.

He hurriedly returned to the dormitory, walked out soon, and handed Wang Yuan five one-dollar bills under Wang Yuan's puzzled eyes.

"Please help me transfer these 5 yuan to Xiaoqing, so that she can not save too much and eat well."

"OK, all right."

After a slight hesitation, Wang Wen said slowly: "Tell her again that only by studying hard can she change her destiny. Don't learn from her eldest brother, and don't learn from her second brother."

"Second brother" Wang Yuan looked helpless and said: "Brother, I understand."

The eldest brother Wang Wen had high hopes for Wang Yuan before, but unfortunately Wang Yuan disappointed him, twice!

Forget it if you are disappointed twice. According to Wang Wen, he very much hopes that Wang Yuan will continue to repeat the third year. If he still fails to pass the exam in the third year, then he can repeat the fourth, fifth, and sixth years.

…

He even made it clear that he was willing to pay Wang Yuan's tuition, miscellaneous fees and living expenses.

pity……

Wang Yuan dropped out of school.

From then on, Wang Wen was unwilling to talk to him and was too lazy to talk to him.
