The next morning, Feng Yiping said that he would cut down the thatch and the small shrubs one by one like his second uncle and Dongming Ge. His parents were obviously relieved.

When he arrived on the mountain, the second uncle taught him how to do it. When he went to a place, cut down the roots and grow branches, and whipped it first to avoid snakes and insects and other things inside.

When chopping, don’t be anxious first, take your time and be careful to cut your hands; remember to turn the knife downwards, which saves effort and makes it easy to blunt the knife; you should also pay attention to whether there are stones on the ground, and don’t knock the hatchet on the stones... In short, it is knowledgeable.

When chopping, other problems were fine. There were two very uncomfortable points. One was the heat, and the heat steam below steamed up and the sun was shining on it; the other was the waist, because it was always bent, which was really uncomfortable.

However, he didn't talk about the progress left and right. When he was tired, Feng Yiping stood there and rested, chopping and resting. By ten o'clock, the sun was very strong, and the second uncle and the others also stopped. He stopped and found a shade to sit.

He sweated a lot and felt very thirsty. When he remembered that the cows wanted to drink water, he led the cows to the pond halfway up the mountain. There was a clear spring above the pond, which was cold and sweet. He ran to the tung tree not far away, picked a large tung leaf, and went to the middle nest. He first filled some water, swept a few times, and then scooped it to drink.

It’s the kind of taste I remember, it feels much better than those mineral water!

After drinking the water, Feng Yiping led the cow into the valley and could hold it for a while. There were many shades of places there, so when you came home for lunch, tie it there.

Feng Yiping sat under the shade of the tree, but his mind couldn't stop. He was reborn strangely, good, but there was also a big problem in front of him, that is, money!

This year, 1992, is an era worthy of history.

This is a great era of turbulence. At the end of last year, the Soviet Union, the tragedy disintegration of the once-polar end of the world.

More than a month later, our chief designer delivered a series of speeches during the southern tour at the beginning of the year, which was the famous "Southern Tour Speech". It once again pointed out the direction for the development of the country, opened up a new era of reform and opening up for our country, and provided a strong theoretical basis for us to develop the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics.

It is from this year that we have embraced the arrival of a new era and our country has begun to rise peacefully.

Although all this happens will profoundly affect the direction of the entire world and ultimately directly affect Feng Yiping himself, at present, these are still far away from Feng Yiping.

All he was thinking about at the moment, "Money, money, money!"

At least in Feng Yiping and his generation, the problem of food and clothing has been solved. From childhood to adulthood, I ate less when I was good, but I definitely ate full.

However, money is very short. In the village, in addition to two working in the town and county, there is also a private teacher, three who get a salary, one carpenter, one painter, one bamboo craftsman, and one that runs a processing workshop, a total of six or seven families. The rest are not worried about food, but it is just not worrying about food!

The situation of Feng Yiping's family is even more difficult. So far, his family still owes more than 3,000 foreign debts.

At this time, rural areas could only rely on raising pigs, silkworms, and economic forests to cash in some money, but there were also many places to spend money.

Adults and children, pigs and cows, always have three diseases and two pains; chemical fertilizers and pesticides in spring and autumn; children's tuition fees; and at the end of the year, you always have to buy some vegetables, weigh a few kilograms of fruit, sell a few bottles of bottled wine to entertain customers, and buy new clothes for your children; in addition, it is human relations.

In the past, there was a wedding and wedding event that I could just bring something to the past, but now I will give you money, which costs at least three or five yuan.

Most of the villages have surnames Feng and are related to their relatives. Each family always has a few relatives. If there is a matter, the whole village will almost always receive gifts. Moreover, Feng Zhenchang and others are of high age and are old. When there is something wrong, those families will come to invite them. No matter how difficult it is, they will not be able to hide their face.

In this way, there will be a lot of money to spend in a year, and it is not enough to count on those outputs.

The key is that Feng Yiping's family has a very thin foundation.

Shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Mei Qiuping got tuberculosis. She was still a serious illness in her 80s. In order to cure her, she spent all her money and owed a lot of foreign debts. She had not paid off the money for the treatment, but she built a new house and had a lot of debts. The main thing is the wages of the workers and the wages of craftsmen. For example, Feng Chuntang, the wages of the house are still owed more than 70 yuan.

There are also loans from credit unions that borrowed from a credit union when treating the disease, money from the village processing workshop, money from the oil mill, money from the tailor, money from the barefoot doctor, money from the veterinarian... and when it is urgent, the loans from this company and that company are scattered, which add up to more than 3,000 yuan.

How short of money is? When Feng Yiping was studying, he did not charge money in the first and second grades, but he had to pay three yuan in the third grade. Fortunately, he didn't have to owe it. From the fourth grade, the tuition fee increased to more than ten yuan, which was not enough. He owed it every year. At the beginning of school, those students who paid the tuition fee would receive new books that day, and those who didn't pay it like him would not receive the books until two days later. Every month, weekends at the end of the month, during holidays, the head teacher kept them, held a small meeting, and asked when the tuition fee would be paid. I remember that this situation continued, and as long as I went to school, it would be like this.

As for pocket money, well, for Feng Yiping, that has always been a legendary thing! I have never seen it with my own eyes.

Back then, the new house was built for more than a year. Because I had no money to buy wires, lights, switches, and a telephone pole, my home was not powered up and I still used kerosene lamps.

Most families always buy new clothes for their families during the Chinese New Year, or sell ready-made clothes, or pick some cloth at the department store in the town, and ask the village tailor to do it. But Feng Yiping remembers that there were no new clothes during the Chinese New Year in the past three years. Until now, some of the clothes he wore were changed by his sister's small clothes.

He still remembers that in the fifth grade, he wore the pants his sister had worn, which were the pants that opened on the side to go to the bathroom. After being laughed at by classmates, his parents stopped asking him to wear his sister's pants.

Every few days before the Chinese New Year, there are endless people asking for accounts at home. Feng Zhenchang is busy saying good things every day. In addition, he always has to prepare the best food at home and have dinner with others.

Of course, they are all from the same village, and everyone knows the situation at home, and they all know that it is really difficult. It is not that you have money and don’t pay it back, but at the end of the year, you have to check this account.

For example, if you have not paid off your old debts and have new accounts, there are processing workshops, doctors, and loans. In rural credit unions, if you have not paid off the interest in that year, you will be transferred to the cost the next year and you will have to pay more, so you will naturally have to reconcile the accounts at the end of the year.

It just so happens that the two families next to Feng Yiping have one of the best days in the village. Feng Jiasheng works in the town government canteen, and Feng Weidong is a temporary worker at the county winery. Although his salary is not high, he can save at least a few hundred yuan a year.

In rural areas, if you have an extra salary of several hundred yuan a year, your life is easy. Feng Jiachong currently has three TVs, one bought by the one that runs a processing workshop, and the other two are them.

Compared with this, their family seemed even more difficult. However, Feng Yiping has always been very sensible and never took the initiative to go through anything. The only time was when he was in the fourth grade, a photographer came to the village with a red horse. His parents refused to let him take pictures. He cried once, which was the only time.

He is still a twelve-year-old little kid on the surface, but he has memories of more than 20 years since then. It is unscrupulous to change the status quo.

So, what are the ways to make money now? Especially as soon as possible! Not to mention, school will start in less than a month, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the first grade of junior high school have been increased again, which costs 45 yuan! As usual, the family still has no penny.

There are not even clothes. It’s okay to say that the pants can be worn in winter, but the hot spots are hot. However, there are no shirts, whether long-sleeved or short-sleeved ones. The sweatshirt not only turns yellow when washed, but the key is that there are holes on it.

Money, money, how can we make money? More than 20 years later, millionaires were at a loss at this time.

Feng Yiping's days of grinding cattle and chopping wood just ten days later, he had to stop for some reason - he injured his right foot.

As he was chopping that day, a snake slipped out of the grass. Of course, the snake was also shocked by him and fled in a hurry, and did not do anything to him.

The problem is that what he fears the most is this thing. He always feels that even when facing a tiger, he may still pluck his courage to touch its butt, but he is afraid of the snake thing.

He was shocked at the time and subconsciously stepped back. His right foot just stepped on the bush stubble he had just cut down. The back of the old Jiefang shoes was broken, and the oblique bush stubble pierced directly into it, almost reaching his ankle, and the pieces of stubble that were long with little fingers broke inside, and blood suddenly flowed.

He endured the pain, pulled out the wooden stubble, tore off the hem of his sweatshirt and wrapped it a few times, and handed the cow to Dongming. Seeing this, Dongming was going to carry him home, but he said no, so he stood on tiptoe and walked back slowly.

Feng Zhenchang was still in the field, and Mei Qiuping quickly used earth recipes to help him stop bleeding, which was to apply the ash in the stove on the wound. Then he hurried to the village headquarters to find a barefoot doctor. The doctor was in another wall to see a doctor. When Mei Qiuping and the doctor arrived home, it was already evening. Feng Yiping had already cooked the rice and fed the pigs.

Wash it with alcohol, then apply Yunnan Baiyao, and then a pack of gauze to get it done.

Of course, the doctor stayed at home for supper.

After staying at home for two more days and changing the medicine twice, Feng Yiping limped up the mountain and herd cattle, but Chai couldn't continue chopping.

Finally, when there were more than ten days left to study, Feng Yiping finally found some direction for making money.

That night, Feng Weidong's son Feng Hongbing invited him to watch TV. Feng Hongbing is three years older than him and is about to go to the third year of junior high school at the beginning of school. He is usually a friend who plays together.

At this time, the pot-shaped antenna was not yet there, and the old-fashioned branches were still many, and the stations received were limited. However, in addition to the county and city TV stations, the central government could receive it at least, and he also wanted to read the news at this time, so he went there.

It is a 14-inch black and white TV. It also specially made a high TV cabinet, which is placed next to the table in the middle of the main hall. The picture is quite clear. However, Feng Yiping, who is used to watching the large screen and high-definition, still felt tired after watching it for a while. He turned his head and saw a book on the table where he was eating. He took it over and took it to see three words on the colorful cover. "Story Meeting".

This is a very powerful magazine, because it was still being published vigorously until 2014. Of course, he rarely reads it. He still vaguely felt that when he saw this book, he seemed to have some thoughts, but it was not so clear.

Before leaving, he asked Feng Hongbing that he had borrowed this story book. It was boring to herd cattle on the mountain, and he could always pass the time if he had this book.

At night, after reading the first few humorous stories, he understood what the unclear thought was. He could contribute to the story club and other magazines!

Isn’t humorous stories just jokes? He has this! More than 20 years later, society has made great progress and everyone has been under great pressure. In order to relieve stress, various jokes emerged one after another. In the email, QQ groups, and in the circle of friends, people often post jokes to share. Generally, they can’t remember them for a while, but they still remember a lot of classics and widely circulated ones. Isn’t this just a way to make money?

He excitedly took out the paper and pen and wrote down the mailing address on the back cover.
