497. Hometown

When Su Wan's mother refused Yang Min's invitation, someone in Xizhi's hometown happened to be joking with Su Wan's affairs: "Why, Xiaoyi, the young wife who came back with you last time, didn't see her today? According to the rules of our hometown, the new wife is not only on the first day of the New Year, but also on the 29th day of the day!"

When the child below smiled when he heard this gossipy woman stirring up this topic, he smiled. Except for a few young and teenagers who were too young, the others had one counted one, and almost looked at Yang Yi with both envious and jealous eyes.

How could this kind of treatment be obtained by their group of young and half-girls? Looking at Yang Man who covered her mouth and laughed at her, it is even certain that if the women in the family said this to them, or to any juniors except Yang Yi, it goes without saying that besides joking, the rest must be some kind of "reminder" to the children's parents, telling them that your child seems to have a tendency to fall in love early, so you must pay more attention.

Yes, that's it, Yang Man can be sure.

But what about Yang Yi? Everyone at the level of the aunts around him was laughing, or women were laughing, while those men who sat by the stove kept touching the cards participated in the joke in a more bold tone: "That's right, Xiao Yi, I think that little girl is a good person. I heard that she is still working in your company, right? Hurry up and grab the other person. Such a beautiful girl, well-behaved and able to make money. I don't know how many people are staring at me, so hurry up and get the moon first. Let's start first!"

As for the elderly who are usually not interested in this topic, they all smiled and looked at Yang Yi. Obviously, in their eyes, Yang Yi and other children in the family must be treated differently, or they do not regard Yang Yi as a pure child at all. After experiencing these series of events that occurred in the second half of the year, even the most conservative grandfather Qi believed that Yang Yi was a real man in the Yang family's room and could be treated with equal eyes.

Yang Min laughed under the siege of a group of women, and had no intention of teaching Yang Yi a lesson. Instead, she discussed Su Wan’s family and experience with several women: “You don’t know, that girl is also pitiful. I heard that it was because of some reasons for her father’s relatives, so she moved to us from Meizhou with her mother early. Then a few years ago, her mother was laid off again. It was really hard for the mother and daughter to work hard..."

Yang Yi could only say nothing about this scene, shook his head and ignored the family matters of his relatives, but instead held a newspaper alone and went to analyze the data alone.

The newspaper is the "Huaxia Youth Daily". In a sense, this newspaper, which is considered a publication of the Communist Youth League, actually published various changes in the domestic book market in the last issue before the New Year. Yang Yi doesn't remember whether such a survey was published in this magazine in his previous life, but even if there is no relevant memory, it does not prevent him from paying some attention to the investigation report of this national newspaper. Perhaps as an ordinary person, if he had experienced all kinds of injustice in society, he would doubt the investigation report of the government mouthpiece, but with two lives of experience. After being reborn and the excitement of some officials in the system, Rogo's suggestions were added. He now understands that this investigation also has a completely trustworthy side in the form of complaints.

At this moment, as long as there is no social contradictions involved and it is just a survey within a certain industry, this kind of investigation can be used as a reference.

"The sales of the book market in 1998 have already shown a polarization trend. In the context of the rapid economic development of the country, the best-selling books can attract more and more readers. Many consumers are willing to consume this kind of cultural aspects for a book they like. However, some books that performed well in the early years have a vague decline. The most prominent ones are the four masterpieces. This set of famous books that have been prosperous in China. According to statistics from the General Administration of Publication, the four masterpieces reached a historical consumption peak in the first half of 1998. After entering the second half of 1998, the total sales volumes of each version showed a significant downward trend. Under this background, the operating conditions of physical bookstores in China also showed a relatively relatively qiguai phenomenon, that is..."

Yang Yi frowned and looked at the investigation report in front of him word by word. He thought that it was obvious that the operating conditions of physical bookstores had declined after 2002, but now it is still in 1999. Why did this sound come true? And even in his previous life, this phenomenon was only performed in first-tier cities and southeastern coasts across the country. In those second-tier and central and western regions, physical bookstores have always been able to support them.

Is this also the change brought about by my butterfly?

The boy was not very sure, because judging from another survey report on the Internet, Chinese netizens did not have much more than they did in their previous lives, and what they changed was more about the cultural industry, especially the traditional publishing and book industry. The involvement in the Internet was limited to integrating the original West Road BBS and a number of fantasy literature sites into Yanhuan. If this integration would cause no matter how big the butterfly effect, Yang Yi would not believe it first.

But this is not important anymore, because the layout in the online cloud has gradually unfolded, and even if the demise of physical bookstores arrives early, it will not have much impact on Yangyi Culture.

After reading the newspaper in his hand, he saw that his family was still having sex with each other and playing cards, so he got up alone and walked out of the yard.

Compared with this time last year, the ancient town is less decadent, but it does not damage the historical charm of the ancient town at all. It is still the Jiangnan water town that is painted on paintings. But under this historical charm, there is an vitality. Walking under the adjacent water veranda, you can feel the bricks and tiles around you. Every grass and tree are full of a pleasant taste. This taste cannot be bought even if you have more money. It can only be produced by people's hearts.

On the slightly cold sky, there was a thin layer of fine clouds. But it did not appear to be hazy. The sunlight occasionally came down from the clouds and was then covered by the clouds. Although this weather was not warm enough, it had a refreshing coolness that made Yang Yi slowly happy.

"Oh, this is not Xiaoyi. I'm back. When I visited your house yesterday, I asked your mother and said you haven't come back? I just thought that something was so busy, and I had to wait until New Year's Eve before coming?" Turning a corner, there was a woman carrying the New Year's goods. According to the seniority of the Yang family, although she was only in her forties and was not much older than his mother Yang Min, Yang Yi's uncle and grandpa's generation, so Yang Yi had to call him "uncle". After saying hello, the boy explained the reason why he waited until the New Year to come back.

"Yes, yes, you are the company boss now, it's normal to be busy. By the way, wait for me. Yesterday, I said I would give you a version of your favorite edamame tofu, but since I was busy in the morning until now, I would have almost forgotten it if I hadn't seen you. Your uncle's memory is not as old as your third uncle. But I think the memory is almost the same!" After saying that, without waiting for Yang Yi to refuse, the woman hurriedly turned around and walked home. She kept shouting at the inner room: "Fenfen's father, hurry up and take out the edamame tofu I made, and I asked Xiaoyi to take it back. People are still waiting outside. Get up from the card table quickly. I've been saying that I've never listened, and I'll just play one less round and I can even let you lose a piece of meat..."

Yang Yi heard the sound coming from the room, and only a bitter smile remained on his face.

Although the enthusiasm of the villagers is a great comfort and encouragement for themselves, this is too enthusiastic, right?

But no matter what he thought, the other party still excitedly brought him the things. The male owner of this family, whom Yang Yi called "cousin-law", even threw down the card table and greeted him with a smile, insisting on bringing Yang Yi to his house: "It's not an outsider, why don't you sit there? You are now the big boss of our Xizhi and a celebrity of the Yang family. Don't say you are invited, but you can't even see him. Now you have finally caught you, how can you just let you go?"

Unable to do so, Yang Yi could only go in and sit for a while. The family was not in a prosperous place. After all, the master was only over forty years and his grandchildren had to wait a few years before they were born. But judging from the situation at the other party's family, their New Year was not deserted at all. The hostess was preparing lunch, while the male host built the Great Wall with his own children. It was very happy to see that.

The children of this family are almost in their early twenties. Their two sons and their eldest daughter are married, but their younger son is still single, so there are almost ten people in the house. The young people, without exception, all work in the ancient town. Two of them opened their own local specialty shops, while the other was the operator's family hotel. As for the young son, they were the only college student in the family, but after hearing about the situation in their hometown, they took the initiative to return to their hometown and are currently working in a kiln factory outside the town. According to his wish, they were planning to go to the recruitment of Yangyi's tourism recruitment after the beginning of the year.

So in a sense, the boys are really their big boss, but Yang Yi rarely appears in his official position. It is Rogo who is dealing with Yangyi's tourism and the affairs of the ancient town, so that a group of young people will not be trembling when they see him.

"Brother Sen is preparing to apply for our Yangyi Tourism tomorrow? Yes, I support your decision. What you are studying market management in school, right? Don't worry, it will definitely come in handy when you go to Yangyi Tourism, because after the start of next year, our Yangyi Tourism will be expanded. The Mocheng Municipal Government has also handed over Zhouzhuang to us for development and management, and there is also manpower there. At that time, whether you are in your hometown or in Mocheng, it is OK..."

After chatting with the family for a while, he got up and said goodbye. If he didn't leave, his cousin's family would add another pair of bowls and chopsticks to force him to stay for lunch.
