Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Xu Youcheng has actually been comparing himself with Xu Dahai.

When he was studying, he didn't study well as Xu Dahai, so his parents always used Xu Dahai to punish him.

Now that they both have families, he just wants to live a better life than Xu Dahai.

In the past, his family was indeed financially better off than Xu Da's family, but recently, something seemed to have changed.

Close the door when you get home.

The voice of Xu Youcheng's mother came from the back room: "Who is it? Ahem."

It seemed that she had caught a cold, and the old lady had a cough.

"Mom, it's me."

"It's Youcheng." The room was dark, and there was no light on. Instead, there was a kerosene lamp propped up on the Kang table.

woo woo woo woo woo woo

A strong wind was blowing outside the window, making the plastic sheet covering the window rattle.

The old lady was leaning against the Kang table, wearing reading glasses and mending clothes.

Xu Youcheng's father was leaning on the edge of the kang, as if he was about to fall asleep. He opened his eyes when he heard the noise.

"Didn't you go play cards today? Why do you have time to come to this courtyard?"

"I just came back." Xu Youcheng sat down on the stool and said in a deep voice: "Mom, I heard that the fourth son of Xu Houtian's family is harvesting red ginseng? Our red ginseng..."

"That's what happened. We sold all 22 kilograms of red ginseng to him. It was almost 12 o'clock last night. The door was banged and the dog was barking.

Your dad and I have fallen asleep long ago.I thought something had happened, and I had been making trouble for a long time because I wanted to buy red ginseng. "The old lady babbled, with a kind face.

Xu Youcheng's father sat up wearing a cotton-padded jacket, pulled some shredded tobacco out of the cigarette basket, pressed it into the pot, compacted it, lit it and started smoking:

"The fourth son of Xu Houtian's family was in a hurry. He immediately called me and paid for it. He was so quick that he left without even having a pack of cigarettes. Haha, your mother and I were a little confused at the time. Woolen cloth."

The old man seemed to be in a good mood and took several more puffs of cigarettes.

Xu Youcheng felt like he was suffocating in his heart. He was so depressed and uncomfortable that he finally said in a strong tone:

"Why did you sell red ginseng to Xu Dahai!?"

"What nonsense are you kidding? If you earn 3 yuan more per kilogram, you can earn 22 yuan more on 66 kilograms of red ginseng. You can buy dozens of kilograms of pork to eat!"

"I……"

"Okay, don't do it. You still find it annoying to wander around every day. The fourth son of Xu Houtian's family is younger than you, so he knows how to make money in every way... Money is a good thing, no matter how much it is. Isn’t it delicious to buy meat after making money?”

"Money is so easy to make. Isn't it good to live like this now? How much money is enough?" Xu Youcheng said unconvinced:

"Although I have no money, I live a relaxed and happy life. Isn't that enough? I work hard to make money. If I get sick, the little money I earn won't be enough for medical expenses."

"Stop talking nonsense. Mishan Forestry Farm is still looking for lumberjacks. Go and work."

"Chopping wood?? It's worse than going to jail. Whoever wants to go can go, but I won't go anyway!!"

"Hey! I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!"

Seeing the two men arguing again, the old lady stopped mending her clothes and quickly broke up the fight.

bang~

Xu Youcheng opened the door and ran away quickly. A cotton shoe hit the door frame with a clang.

……

the next morning.

After Xu Dahai got up, he went for a walk in the mountains and looked at the traps he had set before.

Unexpectedly, I actually caught two wild rabbits and a pheasant.

After coming home from the mountain, Wang Xiuxiu had already made breakfast, including rice porridge, sticky bean buns, candied garlic and salted Jerusalem artichoke.

"Xiuxiu, look what I caught!"

"Ouch, two wild rabbits? And a pheasant? Is this flower-tailed pheasant really fat?"

"Dad, Daddy..."

Little Tingzi ran out quickly, and the big orange cat ran to the door, looked outside, but didn't come out.

"Rabbit! Is he dead?"

Xiao Tingzi thought the rabbit was still alive, but unexpectedly, she pulled it hard and the dead rabbit was frozen to the point of stiffness.

Her hopes were in vain, and she felt like crying for a moment.

"Don't cry, don't cry. The rabbit meat is very fragrant. You will know how delicious it is when it is cooked."

"It's cold outside, Xiao Tingzi, come in quickly and help us get the chopsticks. We're going to eat." Wang Xiuxiu shouted, and Xiao Tingzi hurried back to the house.

while eating.

Wang Xiuxiu asked Xu Dahai if he wanted to sell the wild rabbits and pheasants.

Xu Dahai said that he would not sell them anymore. His family had indeed not eaten wild rabbits and pheasants for a long time, so he should keep them for his own family.

After finishing the meal, Xu Dahai packed a few sticky bean buns into a cloth bag, took the cloth bag with him, met his father and set off again.

Neither of them came back at noon.

When I came back, it was already past three in the afternoon.

For most of the day, the two of them visited Yanlizi Village, Sanhe Village and Heixiazigou Village in Longxing Township.

Another 40 households of ginseng farmers were signed.

So far, a total of 80 ginseng farmers have signed contracts, with a total of more than 3000 kilograms of red ginseng.

"Where's Gaha? Are you giving the big lazy cat a bath?" After Xu Dahai returned home, he happened to see Wang Xiuxiu bathing the big orange cat. Xiao Tingzi and her sister Xiaohua were squatting next to them, the two little ones.

"Yes, there are too many fleas on her body. Catch her. Where did you eat lunch? Do you want to cook you some food?"

"I ate at the village chief's house in Sanhetun and I was very full."

Xu Dahai sat down on the stool next to the stove. It was very warm and comfortable. He was a little tired after running for a day.

"Sanhetun? Traveling so far?"

"Yes, many ginseng farmers in our township sell red ginseng."

After resting for a while, Xu Dahai strolled to his second uncle's house again. This time he was not looking for his second uncle, but for his son "Xu Hu".

Xu Hu is 22 years old this year, three years younger than Xu Dahai. He has been Xu Dahai's follower since he was a child.

This guy is quick-witted and down-to-earth. In his previous life, he opened a pig farm and had a prosperous business, making a lot of money.

He remembered that in his last life, around 04, Xu Dahai lost all his money in the steel business and was in a very depressed state. There were too many accusations and cynicism from relatives and friends.

When he returned to his hometown to relax, only his cousin Xu Hu still treated him as before. After the two drank, Xu Hu lent him money to make a comeback.

Xu Dahai will always remember this kindness.

"Is Huzi at home? Come out and let me tell you something."

"Fourth brother, what's the matter?"

Xu Hu saw a piece of wood with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters from the forest and planned to use a cutting knife to cut out a large ice cube.

It had been peeling for several days, and when Xu Dahai came over, the appearance of the iceberg had basically come out.

The two brothers walked westward along the snow-covered dirt road. The cold wind blew. Xu Dahai couldn't help but tighten his collar and told Xu Hu what he thought.

He wanted to go to Guan to sell red ginseng, but he didn't have much time to do, so he wanted Xu Hu and Yang Han to connect with them and just trade once a week or so.
