Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

On the third day, there was an old man riding a big bar carrying a wooden box to sell popsicles.

While riding, he shouted:

"Sorbet~Sorbet~Sorbet~"

The greedy children drooled.

"Uncle, come here, why are you selling it?"

Xu Dahai had just drank a drink of cold water. His upper body was naked, and the cold water flowed down his mouth and onto his chest.

"There are three kinds, the regular ones cost 3 cents each, the ones with cream cost 5 cents each, and the last one is sour plum popsicles, which cost 6 cents each."

"The first two are the same and you get three sticks, and the last one is four sticks."

Xu Dahai took out his pocket, and two one-cent coins fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick them up.

At this time, my mother patted the dirt on her butt and came over. She said that her family bought a lot and asked the old man to take one for free.

The old man had a droopy face and was unwilling to take part in the business, because there were many people in the field and he had no worries about selling.

The two argued for a while, and finally the old man was defeated and agreed to give him an extra popsicle, the cheapest kind.

on the way back.

Mom also babbled to Xu Dahai:

"Making money is not easy. Don't spend money lavishly in the future. Xiu Xiu is honest, but she understands all kinds of things in her heart. Let Xiu Xiu take care of the money from now on."

"Yeah, I understand, Mom." Xu Dahai said with a smile, took a bite of a sour plum popsicle, um, it's quite delicious.

"You brat, you will turn a deaf ear to my words." My mother also laughed.

……

After the rice is threshed, large haystacks are piled in the paddocks of every household.

The paddock is very flat. As you look around, you can see that it is surrounded by paddocks of various sizes. The large haystacks are like big mushrooms growing out of the paddocks. They are very beautiful.

The children in the village were happy. They ran hide and seek between the big haystacks, played shuttlecock, and played, which constituted beautiful childhood memories.

of course.

There were also children who secretly fished, pulled peanuts, dug sweet potatoes and roasted them secretly.

Xu Yeliang's son "Little Shitou" is the child who is best at these things.

October 1985, 10, the second day of the ninth lunar month. The sky had been overcast since yesterday. Early this morning, light rain indeed began to fall from the sky.

rumbling~

Thunder was rolling, and light rain fell from the sky, soaking the trees, houses, thatched buildings, and sticks.

The fat orange cat originally wanted to sleep on the roof, but now it's raining. Whoosh! It quickly jumped into the house, jumped on the stool and licked its fur.

"It's raining." Wang Xiuxiu was sitting on the kang, mending the holes in her pants.

"Where's Dad?"

Xiao Tingzi crawled over like a little puppy and snuggled into Wang Xiuxiu's arms.

The crops at Teacher Yuhong's home haven't been harvested yet, so the children are still on vacation now.

"Your dad went fishing for eels and should be back soon." Wang Xiuxiu smiled and touched Xiao Tingzi's silky hair.

The conditions at home have improved, nutrition has kept up, and my daughter Xiaotingzi’s hair has also improved.

"Your dad is a very playful person. When he does farm work, he screams tired, tired. He hunts with dogs, fishes, and catches eels, which is not too tiring."

"Hee hee~"

Xiao Tingzi didn't know how to get back, so she just kept giggling.

……

Early in the morning, Xu Dahai sharpened the wire and bent it into a hook.

When fishing for eels, you have to be patient and strike quickly and accurately.

There are also eels in the rice fields and ditches in the Northeast, and there are quite a lot of them in this era. Villagers don't like to eat this kind of food.

Xu Dahai walked in the field carrying a wooden bucket and soon caught more than half of the bucket of eels.

rumbling~

Raindrops began to fall from the sky, and instantly the villagers harvesting crops became anxious.

Ripe grain will sprout when soaked in water.

Once it sprouts, it’s all over!

Datian is far away from home. Even if I run home in a hurry now, I will definitely get wet when I get home.

He was going to get wet anyway, so Xu Dahai, who was carrying the wooden bucket, was not in a hurry and walked slowly home. Looking at the villagers who were anxious to harvest their crops, he felt quite moved in his heart.

"I remember that when I was ten years old, it rained heavily during the autumn harvest, and a lot of grain sprouted. The grain we were given was not enough to eat, so we had to dig wild vegetables and catch fish to eat."

If you don't add oil when stewing fish, it will be fine for one or two meals.

But if you eat it often, it is really a kind of torture!Perhaps the memory of that time was too profound and too painful, so now some villagers in Xujiatun can't even eat a bite of fish.

I even feel like vomiting when I smell the fishy smell.

Slowly walking back home, Wang Xiuxiu quickly walked out of the house:

"Oh my God, you are soaked all over. Change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."

"It's okay. Look, this is the eel I caught. I'm afraid it weighs about ten kilograms!"

"It's twisting and turning like a worm." Wang Xiuxiu took two steps back in fear:

"How do you need to fix this thing? Can you do it?"

"I'll do it later, and you two can have a taste of my craftsmanship!"

After Xu Dahai changed into clean clothes, he poured the eels in the bucket into a basin, scooped out water, and started cleaning up in the main room.

Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi squatted next to him.

The big orange cat was also walking around next to him, meowing.

After watching for a while, Wang Xiuxiu understood how to clean up, so she and Xu Dahai cleaned up the eels together.

Then cut the eel into sections, put oil in the pot, add seasonings and stir-fry until fragrant, add eel sections... add water, add salt, soy sauce, MSG... stew over low heat.

At 11 noon.

When the eel came out of the pot, Wang Xiuxiu also smiled: "It smells quite fragrant!"

"Of course, the eel is delicious! Come on, just steam some more rice."

There were quite a lot of stewed eels, and Xu Dahai even put on fertilizer bags and brought some to Yang Weiguo, the long-term worker who lived in the backyard.

……

The autumn rain is falling in patter, and the cucumber seedlings, bean seedlings, and eggplant seedlings in the backyard are almost dry and can be harvested.

But the wild ginseng tree that was planted in the backyard was standing proudly in the rain with its bright red ginseng seeds, looking very beautiful.

After returning with empty bowls, Xu Dahai and his family of three soon had lunch.

Take a bite of fragrant rice and a piece of eel.

The unique aroma of eel mixed with the aroma of rice explodes on the taste buds.

Xiao Tingzi's cheeks were bulging. Before she could swallow the meat in her mouth, she picked up another piece of eel meat and continued eating.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious. So the meat with worms is so delicious!?"

It was like she had discovered a new world.

"Bah, don't talk nonsense. This is not a worm, this is an eel." Wang Xiuxiu was startled and pretended to hit her on the head. The little girl quickly smiled and hid next to Xu Dahai.

Xu Dahai sipped some wine and ate eel meat leisurely, feeling comfortable and enjoying himself.

It's windy and cold rain outside, the fragrance is floating in the house, chatting with his wife about home life, drinking wine and eating delicious food, Xu Dahai feels that life is so happy.
