Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Chapter 137 Northeast Wild Cherry, High Labor Price

Xu Dahai stopped going fishing and went to the rural post and telecommunications office after talking to Wang Xiuxiu.

It turned out that the telegraph machine was broken, so Xu Dahai rode the 11th big bar to Longxing Township again. It was already past [-] a.m. after sending the telegram.

It's still a bit hot in the summer heat.

Xu Dahai went to the canteen and bought an old popsicle to eat. Instead of fussing, he bit the ice into pieces and swallowed it in his stomach. Oops!Bingya! !

"Where are we going to eat? Forget it, we're already in Longxing Township. Let's go to my mother-in-law's house for dinner."

Xu Dahai finished the old popsicle in three mouthfuls.

swoosh~

The popsicle stick was thrown by him in an arc, and soon ants gathered over to suck the remaining sugar juice on the popsicle stick.

When a child passes by, he immediately picks up the popsicle sticks as if he has found a treasure.

They can play house with popsicle sticks, weave fans or other gadgets, and they can also use a knife to cut popsicle sticks into various shapes.

……

After buying malted milk, glutinous rice cakes, large biscuits, sesame oil, pork, roast chicken, eggs, etc., Xu Dahai pushed the [-] big bar to his father-in-law's house.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, and besides, I don’t have a lot of money at home, so I bought more things.

Of course the most expensive one is malted milk.

Ginseng brand malted milk, in a red leather jar, costs 9 yuan and 8 cents per jar.

The old mother-in-law was cooking while wearing a headscarf, and the bellows made a whirring sound.

The sun is hot, the wind blowing is hot, the leaves of the trees are wilted from the sun, and the cicadas are shouting feebly.

There are several gray hemp bags spread in the yard, with sticks, tree stumps on the train, and bricks pressing the corners. On them are some hazel mushrooms, small yellow mushrooms, flower-faced mushrooms, sticky dumplings and other mushrooms drying.

In addition to mushrooms, there are also some medicinal materials collected from the mountains.

"Oh, Xiaohai is here!! Come in quickly, where are Xiuxiu and the other two?"

The mother-in-law was so enthusiastic that she quickly patted herself and came out to greet him.

"The two of you are still at home. I came to the post and telecommunications office in Longxing Township to send a telegram to a friend. I stopped by to see you. I didn't know what you like to eat, so I just bought some."

Xu Dahai carefully pushed the [-] big bar into the yard, not to crush the mushrooms and medicinal materials on the ground.

"You kid, come here and buy anything. We don't need anything at home. Let's go! Come in quickly!!"

The mother-in-law almost smiled out of her eyes as she grabbed his arm and walked into the house.

My father-in-law was not at home, and he said he was going to Mengjiang County for something. Xu Dahai, the mother-in-law's nagging mother-in-law, didn't hear clearly.

My brother-in-law and brother-in-law are not at home either.

At noon, Dahai and his mother-in-law were given food for both of them.

The old lady insisted on making dumplings, but in the end Xu Dahai stopped her. It was already noon and it would be too late to chop the stuffing and bread dumplings.

I made braised pork, took apart the roast chicken that Xu Dahai bought and put it on a plate, and scrambled a large plate of eggs.

And fried eggplant leftover from the previous meal.

There are 4 dishes in total, and you can enjoy them with some wine.

"Eat more of this chicken, this chicken is delicious." The mother-in-law kept adding vegetables to Xu Dahai's bowl, and soon the vegetables in the bowl were sticking out.

Half of a son-in-law.

Xu Dahai could feel that his mother-in-law was becoming more and more satisfied with him.

"What do Xiuxiu and the other two do at home every day?" asked the mother-in-law.

“The back garden of my yard was exchanged for two acres with someone else, and now the back garden is the boss.

In addition to building a breeding farm, they also planted a lot of fruits, vegetables, etc. Xiu Xiu spent every day there grassing, planting seedlings, and looking for insects. "

Xu Dahai took a sip of wine and ate the chicken.

"Such a big back garden!?" The mother-in-law also laughed in an instant: "Grow some food, and save money to buy it later."

There is a large wild cherry tree in the corner of the yard of my mother-in-law's house, three to four meters high, with many small red cherries growing among the dense green leaves.

There were many birds chirping and flapping their wings to peck at the little cherries.

The small spherical cherries are so brightly colored that they are simply a joy to look at.

This kind of cherry is Northeast wild cherry, which is completely different from the cherry in Guanli.

The mother-in-law said that this cherry tree has been growing for many years. It has been there since Wang Xiuxiu was a child.

When Wang Xiuxiu was a little girl, she would stand under the tree every year with her little face raised, hoping that the cherries on the tree would ripen quickly.

"I'll pick more for you, and you can eat it with Xiu Xiu and the other two when you get home. If you can't finish it, you can make wine!"

The mother-in-law called Xu Dahai to pick it together. In the end, it weighed about 4 to 5 pounds. She put a handful into her mouth and chewed it. It was so sweet!So delicious!

When Xu Dahai was about to leave on a large pole, his mother-in-law stuffed many things into his basket, such as hawthorn, dates, cloth, sesame seeds, etc.

"Come back next time and bring Xiuxiu and the other two with you!"

"Well, it's hot outside. You can go back. I'm leaving!"

"Slow down on the road!"

Seeing Xu Dahai riding away on the big pole, the mother-in-law wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her old hands, sighed longly, hunched over, and walked back to the house with hobbling steps. .

In fact, she missed Wang Xiuxiu very much.

……

After Xu Dahai returned home, Wang Xiuxiu was very happy to see the few kilograms of wild cherries he brought back and ate them immediately.

One day later at noon.

Guanli.

Rural area in Cang City, Hebei Province.

Yang Weiguo, a 27-year-old bad guy, has a big body, a round waist, long hands and long legs. Years of hard work has made him strong and dark-skinned.

July in Guanli is much hotter than in the Northeast. The leaves on the trees are wilting, the weeds on the roadside are almost dying from the sun, and the cicadas are screaming feebly.

He had just returned home carrying a big iron hoe and pressed down on the well to take a drink of cold water. At that moment, a postman in a green postal uniform rode over on a [-]-inch pole.

"Yang Weiguo! Your telegram!"

"Ah? For me??" Yang Weiguo was stunned. Who would send a telegram to him?

It was very expensive to send a telegram, which was charged per word. Telegrams were generally only sent for urgent matters.

"Yes, it's sent from the Northeast." The postman and Yang Weiguo were old acquaintances. He got out of the car and propped up the car, turned out the telegraph newspaper and said with a smile:

"You stayed in the Northeast for several years, why did you come home again? Isn't there a lot of farmland in the Northeast?"

"More is more, but it's all divided. I got there late and can't divide anything."

Yang Weiguo smiled helplessly. He glanced at the contents of the telegram and was stunned for a moment.

Soon.

After his father, Yang Laoguan'er, and his mother, Ma Xiao'e, also came back from the fields, Yang Weiguo handed over the telegraph newspaper.

"what is this?"

"A telegram came from the northeast. Xu Dahai from Xujiatun wanted to hire me to raise livestock for him. The salary was very high. I..." Yang Weiguo hesitated.

Yang Laoguan'er narrowed his eyes, stretched out his arms to hold the telegraph newspaper farther away, and read it for a while before finishing the content.

"Take care of food and housing, and pay 70 yuan a month as salary!!?" Yang Laoguan'er screamed, making Yang Weiguo's mother "Ma Xiao'e" tremble.
