Back to 1984: I built a chicken farm on a barren mountain.

Chen Shouxin paused for a few seconds, stubbed out his cigarette, and quickly followed him out.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wenfeng turned back and poked his head back into the doorway, saying to Accountant Wang, who was busy calculating accounts:

"Uncle Wang, want one?"

"Wenfeng, no, you guys go first..."

When Chen Wenfeng came out again, he saw his third uncle, Chen Shouxin, looking at him with a vicious gaze. He didn't care and said with a smile:

"Third Uncle, let's talk."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Whether to talk about Accountant Wang's wife or about the land allocation, you choose!"

"What do you know?"

"Third Uncle, I know more than you think!"

Chen Shouxin suddenly realized that his nephew seemed a little unfamiliar, but he still tried to probe, unwilling to give up:

"Did your grandma tell you that?"

"As I just said, I know a lot. I know what Grandma knows, and I also know what Grandma doesn't know!"

Chen Shouxin believed that the old lady would definitely not tell Chen Wenfeng. As far as he knew, only the mother and son knew about this matter in the family.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the second, third, and fourth sisters all didn't know...

How did this kid know that?

Seeing that his third uncle, Chen Shouxin, was frowning and silent, Chen Wenfeng didn't want to give him too much time to think, so he added:

"Let me start by saying that that little girl ate our family's fine food for a whole year with just one bite of her mouth."

These words floated out of Chen Wenfeng's mouth lightly, without any emotion.

But for Chen Shouxin, its power was no less than that of a thunderbolt.

Chen Shouxin felt a tightness at the back of his head, realizing that this rascal had caught him red-handed.

Chen Wenfeng stared at his third uncle, Chen Shouxin, as if a hungry eagle had spotted a plump hare after a winter snowfall.

In Chen Shouxin's eyes, his nephew, though still somewhat immature, possessed a deep and profound demeanor, sharp eyes, and a maturity beyond his years.

silence.

Chen Shouxin lit another cigarette, took a few puffs, then sighed and said:

"Wenfeng, you can't write two Chen characters in one stroke. Let's talk about dividing the land, you and your uncle."

"Third Uncle, you're a truly straightforward man. In short, my family will have at least three acres of good land this time to make up for the loss we suffered last time."

"But I can't make decisions for our seventh team either."

You are in charge of your own life.

Chen Wenfeng said, enunciating each word clearly.

......

Accountant Wang's wife's name is Li Cuie, and her childhood name is Xiuer.

In fact, she and Chen Shouxin were childhood sweethearts.

Li Cuie's mother knew that the two children had a good relationship since childhood, but she disliked Chen Shouxin's family because they were poor, and she never agreed to it.

But she wouldn't budge, while her daughter did.

When young boys and girls first fall in love, no one can stop them from experiencing it.

On one occasion, the two were caught red-handed by Li Cuie's mother while exchanging goods.

Chen Shouxin didn't even have time to pull up his pants.

Li Cuie's mother was furious. Although she was afraid of losing face and didn't want to make a fuss, she secretly asked the Chen family for 200 catties of wheat as compensation.

Originally, Chen Shouxin's mother, who was also Chen Wenfeng's grandmother, had a good impression of Li Cuie, but because of the matter of the two hundred catties of wheat, she became dissatisfied with Li Cuie.

She complained to her third son, Chen Shouxin, that it would be better if they cut off all ties. She's just a little girl, and she's eaten our family's fine food for a whole year with just one bite of her mouth.

Later, the two broke up.

But this breakup was public; in private, the two continued their affair, even after Li Cuie married Accountant Wang.

Chen Wenfeng knew about his third uncle's affairs because soon Chen Shouxin would be caught red-handed again at Accountant Wang's house.

While the two were diligently reviewing the material, Accountant Wang went home.

It is often said that the only lesson we learn from history is that we never learn from it.

Chen Shouxin learned his lesson this time. He quickly pulled up his pants and jumped over the wall.

But he forgot to cover his face...

When Uncle Chen Shouxin came home panting, his mother's face turned green with anger.

Accountant Wang is a person who cares about his reputation. Besides, he can't make this kind of thing public. He can't keep wearing a green hat and being laughed at every day.

The old lady negotiated with Accountant Wang for a long time, and the deal was eventually struck for 300 jin of wheat.

But the old lady was narrow-minded. How could she not feel bad about losing 500 jin of wheat?

One time, I couldn't help but let it slip in front of my old friends.

Although the older woman swore she would keep the secret, someone who frequently betrays their friends knows that the more secret something is, the faster it spreads.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every village and hamlet in less than a day, and everyone talked about it for quite a while.

......

Chen Wenfeng did not return to the conference room; he waited leisurely outside.

He trusted his third uncle's abilities; he trusted the people he employed!

The meeting to divide the land into different areas ended in the time it takes to eat a meal.

After the land was divided, Chen Shouxin helped Chen Shouyi secure three mu of irrigated land.

Chen Shouxin himself got nothing.

This was within Chen Wenfeng's expectations.

After all, everyone's not stupid; we can't let you two get all the benefits.

Of course, in the past, the younger brother always got the better deal, while the older brother always suffered a loss.

This time it's the other way around.

Third Uncle Chen Shouxin was the first to come out, bringing with him the victory of his debate with the scholars.

However, he was not happy. His face was gloomy, and he walked away quickly with his head down, not noticing Chen Wenfeng leaning against the door of the conference room.

Third Uncle is indeed destined for great things; he is not arrogant even in victory, Chen Wenfeng thought to himself.

Hahahaha!

As the meeting proceeded, Father Chen Shouyi emerged with a beaming smile, praising his third younger brother to everyone along the way.

"Look at my old brother, how kind and righteous he is..."

Others chimed in, but they all found it strange. Was the sun rising in the west today? What was the third son of the Chen family up to?

Seeing Chen Wenfeng leaning against the outside of the meeting room, Chen Shouyi put on a stern father's demeanor and said:

"Go home early tonight and help your mom cook. Stop wasting your time out partying."

My father is such a kind man; he only ever sees the good in my third uncle.

Seeing his father's legs healthy and strong, he felt an indescribable joy.

"From now on, I'll try my best to make sure he suffers less." Chen Wenfeng replied loudly.

"good!"

Watching the crowd disperse, Chen Wenfeng whistled as he strolled to the public restroom and took a satisfying urination.

It's been a long time since I've experienced the exhilarating feeling of urinating a foot deep against the wind.

So awesome!

Afterwards, he put away his frivolous manner and headed towards the village chief Chen Youwei's house...

It was nearly dusk; weary birds returned to their nests, sheep and cattle came down from the fields, and people in twos and threes returned with their hoes.

Chenjiazhuang, this ordinary little mountain village in the Yanshan Mountains, is nestled peacefully between two mountains, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

Smoke gradually rose from the chimneys, and the calls of mothers echoed one after another.

Time to eat!

Time to eat!

Time to go home for dinner!

The sound was clear and melodious, echoing through the mountains.

This is a unique cry of this era; the smoke from the chimneys carries an undying sense of nostalgia and romance...

When Chen Wenfeng came out of the village chief's house, the sunset over Xishan was as fiery and dazzling.

He walked through two alleys and finally saw his long-lost home.

The large iron gate to the courtyard was grayish-black, with the paint almost completely peeled off, making it impossible to see the original color.

On the east side of the courtyard, there is a low stone wall that forms a pigpen, where there are two or three piglets that have not yet left the pen.

A hawthorn bush grew in the open space to the west. It was May, and clusters of white flowers were in full bloom, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

I'm back.
