Chapter 289: Bringing Honor to the Family! [3]
The convoy moved forward slowly.
The ten-kilometer journey took more than two hours.
Leaving the scope of Yetan Commune, Yang Ming has seen that the front is Tuocheng Commune. Historically, Longchuan County was originally from Tuocheng, and Tuocheng Commune is to commemorate Tuocheng.
Among them, Tuocheng Commune and Laolong Commune are connected together, and the seat of Longchuan County is in Laolong Commune.
The moment they entered Tuocheng Commune, it meant that they really returned to Longchuan County and Yang Jirong's hometown.
At this time, Yang Ming looked out and saw more people on the streets of Tuocheng Commune, all coming to welcome Yang Ming's family back.
"Crack!"
. . .
"Dong Dong! Dong Dong!!"
. . .
Now the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums have not stopped.
However, the convoy did not stop.
Move forward slowly.
Now that he came to his hometown, not only Yang Jirong felt different, but also Yang Ming himself felt different.
Maybe it's because the blood of this body really comes from here.
Yang Ming said: "Chen Zhenhua, contact the convoy in front and ask them to circle slowly around the streets of Longchuan County. Tell them that Mr. Yang is back and thank the villagers for waiting here for him."
Chen Zhenhua communicated with the driver of the convoy in front through the intercom.
Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang already knew that they had arranged for the convoy to go around several main streets in the small Longchuan County.
Longchuan County is really very historical. It was the base where Zhao Tuo made his fortune. The entire county developed along the Dongjiang River. Yang Ming found that the buildings here were similar to those in Zilin County. The difference was that there was an extra Dongjiang River running through the county. Pass.
Among them, this is also the top of the Dongjiang River.
The Dongjiang water that people in Xiangjiang drink actually flows from the top of the Dongjiang River down to Huicheng, and then flows from Huicheng into Xiangjiang River through channels and other means.
There are people in Xiangjiang drinking Dongjiang water.
These convoys circled slowly around Longchuan County.
Yang Ming, Yang Jirong and others did not stay in Longchuan County, but went to the Sanjiantang Production Team under Laolong Commune.
The Sanjiantang Production Team is located in a very remote place below Laolong Commune. Not only are there many mountains and the roads are narrow, but in the past two thousand years, a big shot like Mr. Yang has happened to emerge.
In October, the big shots sent by Mr. Lao and Mr. Xi went to the Sanjiantang Production Team to investigate information about Yang Jirong's family.
At that time, Yang Shuhai, the captain of the production team, still didn't understand who the big shot the production team was talking about was?
Is he really Yang Jirong's son?
Yang Shuhai didn't know, and neither did the villagers in the Sanjiantang production team.
They found that the Sanjiantang Production Team had more leaders from the city, county, and even Laolong Commune.
Some time ago, they were asked to clean everything in the Sanjiantang production team.
Among them, including the filled-in part of the Triangle Pond, they were completely restored.
In other words, when the Triangle Pond is completely restored, the Yang family villagers in the Triangle Pond will have even less land to grow rice in their village.
This is what it says above, and they can only do it.
besides.
Laolong Commune had originally announced that it was going to wire and electrify their village, but found that the Sanjiantang Production Team was more troublesome. Moreover, time was tight, and it might be too late to wire and electrify the Sanjiantang Production Team.
We had no choice but to give up, which made the villagers of Sanjiantang feel a pity.
However, even if there is electricity, it will cost money in their opinion, so it is better not to have electricity.
A few days ago, they finally found out who the big shot that their superiors had been telling them about was coming out of Triangle Pond.
It turned out to be Yang Jirong's son, Mr. Yang, the richest man in Hong Kong and even the Chinese.
The so-called richest man is the richest person!
The people above don't know exactly how much money it is.
This time Mr. Yang accompanied Yang Jirong and his wife back to their hometown for the first time, hoping that they, the villagers, would be prepared.
At that moment, Yang Shuhai, the captain of the Sanjiantang production team, didn't know whether it was excitement or something else, but he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights in a row. When he couldn't sleep, he had many things to think about.
Including the Yang Jirong couple who are about to return, and even what Yang Jirong's son looks like?
What did they come back to do?
Wait, if you think too much, it will naturally get annoying.
They also knew that the identity of Yang Jirong and his son were completely different, and they also knew that they should pay attention to it.
As of today, they already knew that Mr. Yang's family had returned yesterday, but they had not returned yet.
Not only Yang Shuhai couldn't sleep, but the villagers of Sanjiantang, men, women, old and young, and even the local dogs in the village seemed to be unable to sleep because they kept barking. I don't know if it was excitement or stimulation.
They also wanted to go to Laolong or Longchuan County in person to greet Yang Jirong and his son. The arrangement for them was that there were already many people outside to greet Mr. Yang, and they only had to wait for their return here in Sanjiaotang.
Just this afternoon.
The only village road leading to Laolong Commune from the Sanjiantang Production Team was actually blocked by fallen stones and soil.
This is certainly not a good thing for Sanjiangtang.
Mr. Yang and his son came back from Xiangjiang, and now this kind of thing suddenly happened!
Yang Shuhai immediately mobilized the villagers to dig out the village road. People in Laolong Commune also knew about this situation and immediately sent people to help dig out the village road. They tried their best to wait until Yang Jirong and his son returned and passed the village road without being affected.
For Mr. Shen, Secretary Zhang, and even the leaders of Longchuan County and Laolong Commune, the environment and conditions of Sanjiaotang Production Team were too poor. Mr. Yang and his group had more than 20 people, so they should stay in the guesthouse of Longchuan County.
That's what they thought and suggested.
Yang Jirong and Yang Ming thought that they should go back to Sanjiaotang Production Team first. If Sanjiaotang Production Team really couldn't live there, or couldn't live there at all, then they could only leave Sanjiaotang and live in the guesthouse of Longchuan County.
Yang Ming's motorcade spent more than an hour in Longchuan County, Laolong Commune, Tucheng Commune, and then headed towards Sanjiaotang Production Team.
At this time, it was already past five in the afternoon, and the sky began to get dark.
Yang Ming looked out and could still see some of the outside situation.
But it would be better if he didn't look. The environment here is really bad.
It's all mountains.
It's still a mountain road.
Yang Ming knew that the Dongjiang River passed through Longchuan County, so there must be high mountains on both sides of the Dongjiang River. Now when he came to the vicinity of his hometown, he found that there were more mountains than he had imagined.
Of course, having many mountains is not necessarily a bad thing, it is just inconvenient sometimes.
At this time, the place where the village road collapsed, including the big rocks and the soil, had been cleared.
Sitting in the car, Yang Ming could feel that there were high mountains on both sides of the village road. It was really dangerous to encounter landslides or mudslides.
He also understood why his father had to leave his hometown and go to Hong Kong to develop?
Can such a place really support people?
They stayed in the car and continued to drive on this narrow and winding mountain road for more than an hour.
The convoy in front stopped.
Yang Ming knew that they had finally arrived at the Sanjiaotang Production Team.
Yang Jirong's hometown.
That is, his current hometown.
They are back!
What is the meaning of being afraid of hometown?
Yang Jirong is like that now. When the car stopped, he knew that he had returned to his hometown Yangjia Village, which had been lingering for more than 20 years.
The former Yangjia Village is now the Sanjiaotang Production Team.
"Daddy, we are here." Yang Ming said.
"You and your mommy get off first. I want to be quiet."
"Yes, Daddy."
Yang Ming got off the car.
Chen Zhenhua had already gotten off the car and hurriedly brought a wheelchair for Yang Ming to sit on.
Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, and Lin Xiuzhi, who had been sitting in the car for a day, also got off the car to get some fresh air.
They saw too much today, so they didn't get off the car. They didn't expect that Mr. Yang and his father were so popular in their hometown.
However, Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong still felt a little carsick. After sitting in the car on the bumpy road for a day, they now felt exhausted, tired and hungry.
Lin Xiuzhi was almost the same.
Before coming, she had been mentally prepared. She really couldn't stand sitting in the car on the road for two consecutive days.
Lin Xiuzhi felt her feet go numb, and got off the car. A gust of cold wind blew, and she felt it was very cold here.
Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang also sat in the car for a day.
They also witnessed the scene on the road with their own eyes. They felt that Mr. Yang could achieve what he has today and be welcomed by so many people in his hometown. They felt that it was enough!
The two of them kept watching.
They were ready to look at Mr. Yang's hometown from the perspective of Feng Shui.
On the way, they kept observing.
Whether it was the shape of the mountain or the shape of the water, they had come to the Sanjiaotang Production Team.
When they saw the overall situation of the village, they felt that Mr. Yang could achieve such a skill now, and it was probably not just the Feng Shui of the village.
It was probably from Mr. Yang's ancestral grave.
From the Feng Shui of the village now, there was nothing special.
At this time.
Mr. Shen, Secretary Zhang and more than 20 others also got off the car.
Secretary Zhang had been here once before.
He was very clear about the environment in the village. He felt that Mr. Yang's situation might not allow him to stay in this village and he had to stay in the guesthouse in Longchuan County.
Yang Ming and Li Yufang got off the car and saw a group of people coming.
These people should be the villagers of Sanjiaotang.
They and Yang Ming should also be a group of people with close blood ties.
In particular, some villagers are descendants of Yang Jirong's uncles, brothers, cousins, etc., including nephews, nieces, etc.
The total population of Sanjiaotang Production Team is only more than 300 people, but the villagers can only stay in the production team to farm.
When Yang Shuhai came over, for a moment, he didn't recognize who was Yang Jirong?
Mainly because Yang Ming was too young, he definitely couldn't be Yang Jirong.
Looking at the others, none of them looked like Yang Jirong.
Yang Jirong sat in the car for a while, calmed himself down, and then he got off the car.
When he saw Sanjiaotang for the first time, he felt both familiar and strange.
It seemed that it hadn't changed at all.
It seemed that everything had changed again.
More than 20 years ago, he quietly left Sanjiaotang and smuggled to Hong Kong with young people from the next village to develop.
More than 20 years later, under the influence of his son, he returned here again.
He knew his grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, uncle, aunt, many uncles, cousins, many aunts, elder brothers, elder sisters, younger brothers, younger sisters, cousins, and so on.
These relatives all left this world in the fifties, sixties, and even seventies because of poverty, illness, birth, old age, sickness, and death.
Yang Jirong already knew the detailed family member investigation data brought by Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang.
That night, he spent a night to accept this matter.
Yang Jirong also knew that if he had not left here, he could continue to accompany these relatives. However, he would not have met Li Yufang, a virtuous wife, and would not have Yang Ming, a son who made him proud.
He also knew that if he stayed in the village instead of going to Hong Kong to develop, his family might be poorer, and he might even leave this world in poverty, birth, old age, sickness, and death like them.
At that time, his grandfather's generation had a total of thirteen brothers and sisters.
His grandfather had four older brothers, three younger brothers, two older sisters, and three younger sisters.
If some of them did not die young, or other relationships could not support them, there might be more brothers and sisters in his grandfather's generation.
By the time of his father's generation, there were a total of eleven brothers and sisters.
His father, Yang Shuquan, was ranked third in the village, and was called Yang Laosan.
Yang Shuquan had two older brothers, two older sisters, four younger brothers, and two younger sisters. If they had not died young or for other reasons, he would have had more brothers and sisters.
It was the same in those days. Many families, although very poor, would give birth to their babies almost as soon as they got pregnant without any contraceptive measures. They would raise their babies as long as they had enough food to eat. Whether they could survive depended on their luck.
You could say that.
Before the 1960s, it was actually normal to have eight or even ten brothers and sisters.
Later, after the 1980s, affected by that policy, families with many children began to gradually become rare, and eight brothers and sisters gradually became five.
Five was not a small number at that time.
By the end of the 1980s and even the beginning of the 1990s, there were more families with three children, while in cities or northern cities, especially in the northeast, families with only one child began to dominate.
Now Yang Jirong thought of the information and saw those villagers in ordinary clothes coming towards him. When he saw these people, he felt very strange and even unrecognizable, but he did have an indescribable sense of closeness to them.
"You, you are fifteen?" Yang Shuhai asked.
Yang Jirong and his brothers and sisters, as well as other cousins, were ranked fifteenth by birth. When they were in the village, they used to call him fifteen.
"Are you Uncle Shuhai?" Yang Jirong asked.
"Fifteen, that's Ya."
Yang Shuhai and Yang Jirong's father Yang Shuquan are cousins, which means that their fathers are brothers, but they are cousins in their generation. When they were young, Yang Shuhai and Yang Jirong were also close.
"Uncle Hai, Ya is back."
"Fifteen, Ya thought you died over there."
Yang Shuhai said directly.
Thinking that this sentence was not nice, he hurriedly said: "Fifteen, I'm sorry, Ya usually talks a lot. I heard that you were coming back these days, and I haven't been able to sleep for a long time. I'm a little confused."
"Uncle Hai, why are you saying that? It's great to see you."
Even though he was just a cousin, Yang Jirong still treated him as his own uncle when he saw him now.
In addition to Yang Shuhai, there are other relatives of the previous generation. Yang Jirong can recognize some of them, but some of them can't be recognized at all. The changes are really too great.
Under Yang Shuhai's introduction, Yang Jirong's impression is still more than 20 years ago. At that time, some of these relatives were still children, but now they look more vicissitudes than him. I don't know how much they have suffered in their hometown over the years.
Yang Ming and Li Yufang are over there.
Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang are talking to him.
"Mr. Yang, you have also seen the current environment of Sanjiaotang. I suggest that after visiting the relatives here, we take a car back to the guesthouse in Longchuan to stay." Secretary Zhang said.
"Yes, Mr. Yang, the environment in Sanjiaotang is really too bad now. After visiting those relatives in the hometown, let's go back to the Longchuan guesthouse." Mr. Shen also said the same thing.
Yang Ming hasn't said anything yet, and he saw his father calling him over.
Yang Ming and Li Yufang also went over.
When these people saw Yang Ming in a wheelchair, they knew that this should be Mr. Yang.
When the family members saw Yang Ming sitting in a wheelchair, they immediately felt that it was a pity for the child. However, it was not easy for Yang Ming to make such a name in Hong Kong at such a young age!
"Uncle Hai, this is my wife Li Yufang who I married in Hong Kong."
"Yufang, this is my uncle Yang Shuhai."
"Hello, Afang."
"Hello, Uncle Hai."
"Uncle Hai, this is my son Yang Ming. This time I can come back, all thanks to Yang Ming's influence."
"Yang, Mr. Yang, Ya, Ya has heard of you."
These people were really surprised when they saw Yang Ming.
The higher-ups sent batches of big figures over, and they had learned that the Yang family did have a big figure, and that big figure was Yang Ming in front of them.
Obviously, Yang Ming, this big figure, was completely beyond their imagination.
"Dear elders, in the village, you can call me by my name."
Call him Mr. Yang?
That's what outsiders call him. It's really weird for these elders to call him Mr. Yang!
Yang Shuhai and his friends were not used to calling Yang Ming Mr. Yang, but it seemed inappropriate to call Yang Ming by his name directly, considering his identity.
For them, Yang Ming was Yang Jirong's son. Because of their different identities and status, they had different hearts and attitudes when facing Yang Ming.
Yang Ming knew that he could not blame them, because it was destined by his identity.
Now there are more than 300 villagers in the village, all of whom are from the same Yang family ancestor. They are relatively close to Yang Ming's family, and there are nearly a hundred people within the five mournings.
In other words, if some people in Yang Jirong's family are not gone, this is also a very large family.
