Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Naturally, Xu Dahai didn't know that the old village chief of Lianggou Village was still trying to lead him.

At this time, he was riding a [-]-wheel bicycle and carrying his father Xu Houtian back to "Laosongtun".

The cold wind was blowing and the cold moon was high. The wheel slipped on the road and I fell.

But these small difficulties could not stop Xu Dahai's desire for money.

He is also a child from the countryside. When the production team worked in the fields in the past, he was much more tired than now, so compared with the hard days before, these are nothing.

"Slow down, slow down, my butt is almost split into eight pieces." Father Xu Houtian shouted.

"Okay, okay, I'll ride slower. Is there anyone you know in Lianggou Village?"

"Haha~ How many people in Lianggou Village don't I know?"

Well, Dad is bragging again.

……

at the same time.

Xujiatun.

My mother was still worried, so she put down her sewing and came to Xu Dahai's courtyard with a flashlight.

"Xiuxiu, Xiaohai hasn't come back yet?"

"no."

"Oh, it's really disturbing to be fooling around in the dark. There's snow all over the mountains. Where did this kid go with his father on his back?"

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sitting on the kang talking. My mother kept frowning, and Wang Xiuxiu could only feel relieved.

The fat orange cat was lying lazily on the kang. The kang was very warm today, which she enjoyed very much.

Xiao Tingzi lay beside her, grooming the big orange cat.

"Is this orange cat really fat? Does she steal food to eat?" My mother was at a loss for words and wanted to force herself not to think about troublesome things.

"I won't steal. The fat cat is very honest. It's just that there are a lot of fleas running around on it."

"Boil her with hot water and give her a bath. The fleas won't be able to run away when her hair is wet, so they're easy to catch."

After sitting for a while, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Tingzi had fallen asleep on the kang holding the big orange cat.

Mom left without staying any longer.

When she arrived home through the crunching snow, before she even entered the door, she heard the conversation between Xu Houtian and the second girl Xu Mei coming from inside the house.

"Where's your mother?"

"I went to Xiaosi's courtyard. I've been there for a while. I should be back soon."

wow~

My mother opened the door and walked in. She opened the cotton curtain and entered the back room. At a glance, she saw her father Xu Houtian sitting on the stool next to the counter, smoking a cigarette and looking content.

There are two large pots of white wine on the counter next to it, Sanjiu, which is called Sanluzi here in Xujiatun.

"Master, you are finally back. I thought you two were captured by a monkey."

"Ahem, you ladies, what are you doing?"

Father Xu Houtian breathed a sigh of relief and began to brag to his family about his experiences along the way. It was nothing more than Lianggou Tun and how enthusiastic the villagers in Laosongtun were towards him, pouring wine and passing cigarettes.

Because it was dinner time and many villagers had just eaten, he also saw what the villagers had on their tables.

He would also laugh at people who were poor because of their poor food.

The second sister, Xu Mei, couldn't stand listening anymore and curled her lips slightly, isn't her family poor?Why do you have the nerve to laugh at other people's poverty?

"Dad, Mom, you go to bed early, we are going to bed."

Xu Mei took the fifth child Xu Fang, the seventh child Xu Hua, her daughter Xiaoxiang and others to another room.

Although she despises her father, she will not open her mouth to criticize him, otherwise her mother will definitely scold him.

The kang has been burned for a long time.

The second sister filled several glass bottles left behind after infusion with hot water, fastened the rubber stoppers, and rolled them onto the quilt.

"One for each person, tuck them under the quilt and warm your feet later."

"Yeah~"

The two little girls Xu Hua and Xiaoxiang are very happy. Each of them has an infusion bottle filled with hot water and can cover their hands and feet.

After turning off the lights and going to bed, there was a strong wind blowing outside the window, and the faint sound of father and mother talking could be heard in another room.

"Where did this wine come from? This pot is really big."

"Our son is filial to me. I didn't notice that Xiaosi is usually very lethargic but still quite capable of doing things."

"Honest to you? I think you want it yourself, right?"

……

Xu Dahai this courtyard.

After washing his face with hot water, Xu Dahai sat next to the counter, took out a piece of straw paper and a pencil tip, and wrote and drew on the paper.

"What is it written? Can you read it clearly?"

Wang Xiuxiu had already washed her feet, put on her cotton-padded jacket and lit a candle. When she got close to the former, the light illuminated her surroundings.

Upon closer inspection, she found that Xu Dahai was painting.

"what is this?"

"A map of Lianggou Village. I want to record which ginseng farmers I gave deposits to and where in Lianggou Village their families live."

"Oh my god, your painting is quite beautiful, isn't it?" Wang Xiuxiu felt very strange.

There are not only streets and houses, but also some iconic trees and thatched houses.

After writing down the situation in Lianggou Village, I also wrote down the situation in Laosongtun.

Combined, a total of 40 ginseng farmers from the two villages left deposits.

Each ginseng farmer has 20 to 60 kilograms of red ginseng, and the total total possessions is more than 1500 kilograms of red ginseng.

The total price exceeds 10 yuan! !

Xu Dahai only has a few thousand yuan in his hands now. He wants to collect the funds while selling, and use the funds to buy the remaining red ginseng.

There are still several months before the Chinese New Year.

Xu Dahai estimated that the red ginseng was still not enough to sell, so he planned to go to another village with his father tomorrow to place a deposit to buy red ginseng.

I then checked the amount of money I had in my hand before going out, the expenses for each item, and the amount of money left in my pocket now. I felt relieved when I found that there were no mistakes.

Wang Xiuxiu said with some worry:

“I bought so much red ginseng, what should I do if I can’t sell it and lose it?”

"If you can't sell it, you have to pay a deposit, or keep it and sell it next year. Red ginseng is steamed, air-dried, and dried ginseng, so it can be stored for a long time."

"OK then."

After the three of them went to bed, a group of people were still playing cards enthusiastically in the back room of the canteen.

They are not playing cards like "hearts", "clubs", and "squares", but cards similar to mahjong.

There are 120 cards in a deck.

There are "ten thousand", "tiao", "cake", "white flower", "lucky man", "red flower", etc. The "length" of the playing card is about four times the "width", and there is also the word "Water Margin" printed on the front. figure.

Xu Youcheng, who was not dealing with Xu Dahai, was also at the card table, smoking a cigarette and chatting while playing cards.

He went to visit relatives yesterday and just came back today. He soon heard about Xu Dahai's purchase of red ginseng.

"Why did Xu Dahai buy red ginseng? Did he find a job in a medicinal company?" Xu Youcheng frowned.

"Then who knows, show your cards quickly."

"Probably not. He buys red ginseng secretly. If he buys red ginseng from a pharmaceutical company, does he use it secretly?"

"What's there to nag about? It's definitely not the case. He bought my grandma's red ginseng for an extra 3 yuan per kilogram!

Medicinal material companies have always kept their prices very tight. If they want to sell, they will sell it, and if they don’t, they will get out. How could they give such a high price? "

Suddenly Xu Youcheng had no intention of playing cards. After playing a game, he quickly put out his cigarette butts and went home.
