The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 6 The Slingshot

Yang Dongxu has three grandfathers and brothers, as well as an older sister and a younger sister. Among the three brothers, Yang Dongxu's second grandfather is the most promising and is still serving in the army.

If China is divided into four corners, east, west, north, and south, except for the west, Yang Dongxu’s second grandfather served as a soldier in the remaining three corners, but his position has not been high. In the words of Yang Dongxu's second grandfather: "In the first half of my life, I wandered around with the big army all over China. I didn't take advantage of it or suffer a disadvantage."

Yang Dongxu's great-grandmother and great-grandfather passed away early, so there was no condition to arrange a marriage at first. By the time the conditions improved, my grandpa was already in his thirties.

The little grandpa has a stubborn temper and is unwilling to marry a widow, but in this age of 17, 18, or even 15 or 16, who still has a girl in her thirties?

In Yang Dongxu's memory, the little grandfather was still a bachelor until his death. After two years, when the society gradually liberalized, he lost his current job and went out to run a boat under the verbal pressure of his neighbors.

After earning some money, the standard of living is not bad all his life, and he lives very chicly in Yang Dongxu's eyes. It's just that when you die, you may not have your own children to take care of you. It's a bit miserable.

Yang Dongxu's grandfather had only four daughters and no sons. Among them, his mother and aunt were also born to his grandfather, and his aunt and second aunt were brought here by his grandmother when he fled.

So apart from the capable second grandfather who found a wife himself, Yang Dongxu's grandfather also married a widow. This kind of thing is very common in this era. Until the death of the little grandfather, Yang Dongxu couldn't understand why he insisted on not marrying a widow.

Yang Xudong ran to the tool house of the threshing farm at the west end of the village and saw his little grandpa was taking a nap. He ran over anxiously and called out to him. The little grandpa in his thirties put Yang Dongxu on his neck and started to tease him.

In his previous life, he had a good relationship with his little grandpa, especially when he was a child, the second grandpa's family was no longer here. The eldest aunt's son was older than Yang Dongxu's father, and the second grandpa's family usually didn't come back to eat commercial food in the city.

The first child on the aunt's side is still a daughter, but the sons of the auntie and the second aunt's side, the grandpa, don't care much at all. So Yang Dongxu's little grandson became his darling, giving him whatever he wanted, much more doting than Yang Dongxu's own grandfather.

"Little grandpa, slingshot, slingshot" Although he knew that his little grandpa was short in stature but not weak in strength, and that his legs would not fall off when he held his legs, he couldn't help but hugged his forehead and shouted with.

slingshot! That's right, that's why Yang Dongxu came to grandpa's side. The little grandpa not only manages the farm tool house in Ranyoufang, he usually works in the countryside, repairing bicycles.

Don't look at just repairing bikes, not cars. The social status of bicycles at this time is not lower than that of cars in later generations. It is definitely a rarity for any family to have a bicycle. So my grandpa is definitely a skilled worker.

Although the little grandfather in his thirties is not considered a bastard, he is a bit playful because he is single. He had the guns of the militia brigade, but Yang Xudong obviously couldn't have that, so he had to settle for the slingshot.

The slingshot can be said to be an artifact in the hands of children in this era. The bullet bag can barely be used by sewing together rags. The slingshot frame is made of wood, but the rubber band is not so easy to get.

This rubber band is not the kind of rubber band that girls use to tie their hair, but a piece of rubber band that is cut off and used for the gas port of a bicycle. This is an excellent material for making a slingshot.

Yang Dongxu's little grandfather made his own slingshot with this rubber band, and his first slingshot was also given to him by his little grandfather. But that was when he was over nine years old.

"Here, but you can't pull it away." The little grandpa bent down and took out a slingshot from under his pillow.

There are three rubber bands on one side of the slingshot to form six lines, and the two sides add up to 12 lines. The short-distance power of this thing is similar to that of bullets. The heads of pheasants and ducks can be blown off with a slingshot.

Holding a slingshot with a small hand and pulling it, the power of 12 rubber bands is indeed beyond the strength of Yang Dongxu who is less than six years old. Even if he is a rural child, he is usually very monkey and has a lot of strength.

But this is not for his own use, he took it back for his father to use. Yang Dongxu's father, Yang Ru, married his mother when he was just over seventeen years old.

His mother is three years older than his father, and he has only been married for more than eight years now, which means that his father is only twenty-five years old now. What can a twenty-five-year-old do in future generations? Just a few years after graduating from university, that is, the age when I was still training in society.

Although he has become a father at such an old age in the countryside, he still loves to play. In the summer, people from the same village swim in the river and chase each other, and Yang Dongxu's father has never been missing.

Yang Dongxu continued to swim like this every summer when he was in elementary school. It was not until his father was in his thirties that he became more stable.

Of course, taking this slingshot back is not for father to show off. It is to deal with pheasants and wild ducks, although there are many wild animals now, and weasels are running around at home to catch mice. But even if the wild animal stays for a while, it is not stupid. If you catch it, it will definitely escape.

Although the rural people have good physical strength, it is impossible for them to catch up with the pheasants and wild ducks in the river that spread their wings and fly from time to time in the wilderness. Although Grandpa Yang Dongxu, the gun of the Famous Corps, could borrow it for a few days to play with, he obviously couldn't give it to his father.

Moreover, his father's slingshot skills can be said to be infallible, but Yang Dongxu doesn't know how good the marksmanship is. As for the reason for him to know that his father's slingshot skills are superb, it is naturally because Yang Dongxu's first slingshot has not been played as much as his father's.

He was already nine years old, and his father even snatched his toys. When he met such an unreliable father, he cried just thinking about it.

After playing around for a while, the little grandpa wanted to put away the slingshot, after all, it was also one of the artifacts he showed off. Grandpa has already called for dinner. But as soon as he asked Yang Dongxu, he opened his mouth and cried, and after trying twice, the little grandfather gave up.

Anyway, Yang Dongxu won't go home until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and he might not even go home and play here for two days. Find an opportunity to use sugar, or get a small wooden knife to coax him down. There is no need to make the child cry at this time.

After lunch, the mother took the younger sister to visit the neighbors in the neighborhood. The younger sister was only three years old and came to a relatively strange place, so it was natural for her to take her with her. His brother couldn't be coaxed well.

The little grandpa carried Yang Dongxu to the farm tool house, and after a while, he got into a horse with an old man from the same village. He took a look at Yang Dongxu who had a slingshot hanging around his neck, and the little kids around him wouldn't even touch him. , can only be hung on his neck to watch, and even waved his small fists to beat and cry.

The little grandpa was completely relieved, so he started to insert the horse with all his strength, and he was sure to beat the little old man on the other side. He dared to challenge his own horse insertion skills, especially when Yang Dongxu ran over to cheer for his little grandfather. Excuse me, even if you are my sixth uncle, you can't show mercy.

"Grandpa, I'm going back to my grandpa's house to play. Hurry up and beat the sixth great grandpa and come to play with me." Yang Dongxu shouted to the little grandpa who put on a horse after chasing after a while with a few kids.

"Well, I'll be there in a while, don't lose your slingshot." The little grandpa waved his hand without raising his head.

"I said that you can't win the trumpet (little grandpa's nickname)." The sixth grandpa, who had already lost two games and had a cigarette pouch in his mouth, immediately felt uncomfortable when he heard Yang Dongxu's shout and the little grandpa's answer. willing.

Originally, he was a bit ashamed to lose to a junior in horse insertion skills, let alone being despised by a child.

"So what if you lose this game, you've already lost two games." The little grandpa still didn't give face to his sixth uncle of the same clan.

"Little grandpa, run, the sixth grandpa will beat someone if he loses." Before the sixth grandpa could speak, Yang Dongxu started booing beside him again.

A group of neighbors who were onlookers laughed loudly.

Seeing that there was really no hope of winning this game, the little grandpa threw away the stick in his hand, and was about to get up and walk around with Yang Dongxu on his back, or go to the village to buy some candy for him to eat. My little grandson is not allowed to touch anyone except for holding the slingshot, and he must be rewarded for talking so much that he is so happy.

"The front doesn't count, don't go, let's play a few more games, I don't believe in evil anymore." Seeing that the little grandpa wanted to leave, the sixth grandpa naturally didn't want to.

"It's the same for a few more games. Today you still have to believe in evil." The little grandpa, whose buttocks had just left the ground, sat back down again. I have to prove my skills in horse riding, and see who dares to question my young skills in the future.

Seeing that the little grandpa couldn't leave here in a short time, Yang Dongxu grinned and ran towards grandpa's house accompanied by a few kids.

"Dad, I want to go home." Yang Dongxu shouted loudly when he ran to his grandfather's residence.

"Why do you go home? You are arguing at home to come, and when you come, you go home again, and you will be turned upside down." Yang Dongxu's father gave Yang Dongxu a look without hesitation. If there was no grandpa sitting next to him, he would have slapped his ass. up.

"Xuzi, come here, grandma has rock candy here." Grandma Yang Dongxu waved to him.

Yang Dongxu's grandma is an old lady with small feet. It is obviously not good to be born in this era, after all, only ladies from rich families have their feet bound.

"No, I want to go home." Yang Dongxu endured the cold and began to act like a baby.

"You really turned the world upside down." Papa Yang stood up with a cry, reaching out to grab Yang Dongxu and slap his butt a few times.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do. If he wants to go back, you go back. You can hit the child to see." The grandpa who has not spoken has stared. Intergenerational relatives are also very popular in this era, not to mention that grandpa only has the grandson Yang Dongxu .

Stared at by his grandfather, Yang Dongxu's father naturally lost his temper in an instant. However, the look in his son's eyes is obviously not friendly, and he is going to find a chance to fix this kid.

The conversation is almost over. Although it is still early, it is around two o'clock in the afternoon. Ask Yang Dongxu to call his mother, and he packs up his things and prepares to leave.

When he was holding Yang Dongxu and was about to leave, his father was taken aback when he saw the slingshot on his neck, and then said, "Leave the slingshot to your little grandpa."
