Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Mr. Liu's eldest daughter-in-law, "Yang Ermei", who is about 50 years old, and whom Xu Dahai still calls aunt, is also here to join in the fun, carrying a basket, and said quickly:

"It's great for children to have filial piety. This is really not difficult. It's easy to learn. I'll teach you how to use it!! If I smash my clothes in the future, I'll go to you. You can't help but let me use it, haha~"

Smash - in the context of some areas in the north, it means to sew.

Because the two families have a good relationship, Mr. Liu's eldest daughter-in-law "Yang Ermei" said this.

My mother was actually very happy that Xu Dahai bought a sewing machine.

It’s just that I’m used to living in poverty, so I always feel that saving more money will make me feel more at ease. I’m even more cautious about buying a “big item” like a sewing machine.

Unexpectedly, Xu Dahai bought it and took it home without saying a word.

After moving a sewing machine back into the house and placing it in the corner of the east room, Wang Xiuxiu immediately tried it. The stitches produced were fine and easy to use.

Xu Dahai moved another sewing machine to his mother's yard.

Along the way, many villagers curiously asked where they bought it, and Xu Dahai answered truthfully, which actually attracted a few more customers to Sun Guangcai.

When walking back from his mother's yard, Xu Dahai stopped by the canteen and bought a few rectangular popsicles.

"Xiu Xiu, Xiao Tingzi, it's time to eat popsicles!"

"Come on, come on!" Xiao Tingzi ran out of the house first, took the old popsicle with its wrapping paper torn off, and took a lick.

"It's so sweet!"

Wang Xiuxiu was still smashing clothes in the house. It might have taken an hour to mend the tattered clothes, but now she could do it in a few minutes. She just couldn't put it down with this new sewing machine.

"Xiuxiu, let's eat popsicles."

"Yeah, this sewing machine is really easy to use. No wonder it buzzes every three times. It's really powerful."

Wang Xiuxiu's pretty face was full of happiness. She looked at the sewing machine like a little girl who got her beloved doll:

"One day I will knit a covering with wool and put it on the sewing machine to prevent it from falling into the dirt."

Three turns and one beep - sewing machine, bicycle, watch and radio.

The first three have parts that can rotate in circles, and the last one can make sounds.

Now her family not only has three turns and one ring, but also a more advanced TV set!So Wang Xiuxiu feels happy.

"Don't smash your clothes on this hot day. Take a rest. You two go to the West Room to watch TV. I'll take my wages to Yang Weiguo."

Xu Dahai bought four popsicles in total.

In addition to the three members of his family, he also bought one for Yang Weiguo and brought it to him along with his wages.

From the path on the east side of the house to the back garden, through the rows of bean racks and cucumber racks, you can see Yang Weiguo plowing the ground with a big hoe.

The gray vegetables, foxtail grass, grasshoppers, tribulus seedlings, granola and other things in the melon patch were all easily removed.

The fertile black soil exudes a faint smell of moisture and aroma, and occasionally one or two earthworms can be seen.

"Weiguo, come and have a rest and eat a popsicle."

"Huh? Good!"

Yang Weiguo's upper body was naked, and he wiped the beads of sweat with a torn towel on his arm, and rubbed the surface of the hoe with the sole of his shoe.

The soil is very moist. If you don't wipe the hoe surface quickly after use, many hoe surfaces will get rusty.

"The weather is hot. This popsicle is about to melt. Hurry up and eat it... How does it feel to live here?"

"It's pretty good. To be honest, the food I eat here is much better than at home."

Yang Weiguo chewed the ice cream with big mouthfuls, and the crushed ice entered his stomach. The coolness quickly spread to his whole body. It was so comfortable~

Ah ~

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiaohai. When I was a child, I was thinking that if I could eat white-flour steamed buns every day, I wouldn't need to eat meat or vegetables, as long as the white-flour steamed buns were enough! That would be a life like a fairy!"

Hehe, my life is better than I thought now. Not only do I have steamed buns to eat, I also have meat to eat..."

Yang Weiguo felt a little lonely when he lived alone in the small house on the north side of the back garden every day, but compared with the benefits he received, this loneliness he felt was nothing.

In his hometown.

Because the land is sparse and barren, and the population is large, there is not much food left after paying for the public grain and the Three Tis and Five Systems. Most of the white flour has to be replaced with corn flour - one pound of white flour can be exchanged for several pounds of corn flour. Resist eating!

of course.

There will still be some white flour left in the end, but you can't eat it until Qi (qie) comes, and often you can only eat noodles, because noodles have a lot of water, and eating a meal of noodles consumes much less flour than eating steamed buns.

Therefore, Yang Weiguo was very grateful to Xu Dajia.

"This is this month's salary, a total of 80 yuan, and the extra 10 yuan is a bonus."

"Huh? Give me so much more?"

Yang Weiguo was very happy, but he still resisted for a while and finally accepted it.

In the evening, he asked Xu Dahai for two pieces of letter paper and an envelope, and wrote a letter by kerosene lamp. There was pinyin in the crooked handwriting.

"As long as the parents at home can understand it, everything else is not important."

Yang Weiguo wrapped the four big letters in the letter paper with great expectation. He planned to send the letter back to his hometown with 4 yuan early tomorrow morning.

As for the remaining 40 yuan, I naturally kept it myself.

After turning off the lights, Yang Weiguo took off his clothes and lay straight on the kang. He looked at the bright moon in the sky outside the window and murmured to himself expectantly:

"70 yuan a month, 10 yuan in 700 months... Maybe if I save enough money in the future, I can buy a piece of land in the Northeast, build a house, and marry a wife?

Only then will we be able to take root completely. "

the next day.

After feeding the roe deer and stupid chickens early in the morning, Yang Weiguo borrowed a [-]-inch sedan from Xu Dahai and rode to the countryside to send letters.

Xu Dahai changed the wooden board under the swallow's nest and said casually: "Xiuxiu, the female swallow seems to have laid eggs?"

"is it?"

Wang Xiuxiu is going to eat pancakes for lunch and stew some pork ribs.

The flatbread is paired with the fragrant pork ribs and some pork ribs soup. Just thinking about it makes people salivate.

There was still flour on her hands, so she looked out and asked, "Have you really laid eggs? How many are there?"

"The two swallows are not here, I'll go up and have a look!" Xu Dahai suddenly became interested, moved the ladder over, put it away, and climbed directly up.

"Oh, please be careful, little Tingzi, come out quickly. Your dad wants to see how many eggs are in the swallow's nest." Wang Xiuxiu quickly helped hold the ladder and shouted towards the house with a smile.

It had been a long time since the two swallows started building a nest. In fact, she was also curious about whether there were eggs in it and how many there were.

"I'm coming!"

Xiao Tingzi, wearing pink sandals, ran out of the back room quickly, followed closely by the fat orange cat.

"really??"

Not only did the mother and daughter look up at Xu Dahai with expectant faces, but also the fat orange cat and the four strong hunting dogs.

"Yes! There are six swallow eggs! They are so small."
