Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The morning wind blew slowly, and the pumpkin leaves climbing on the sticks rustled.

"So much firewood? We have no shortage of firewood at home."

"It's okay, just keep it and burn it slowly. You can even burn it in winter at worst."

Xu Dahai patted the dirt on his body, and Wang Xiuxiu helped him take off his clothes and threw them into the basin to wash them later.

After breakfast.

Xu Dahai sat on the edge of the kang, petting the cat, and casually flipping through the books he borrowed from Lao Wu in the countryside.

But what he was thinking about was: "Should we find an opportunity to exchange those hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars into RMB?"

Just as he was thinking.

Sudden.

Wang Xiuxiu came in and said softly: "Xiaohai, Brother Ercai is here."

Xu Dahai quickly put down his book and went out, only to see Xu Ercai, who was wearing a gray coat, black denim pants, and frowning slightly, had already entered the yard.

"Brother Ercai, come into the house and talk."

"Okay, Xiaohai, I really want to trouble you this time."

"It's no trouble. If we live next to each other from now on, there will inevitably be times when we need to help each other.

Isn’t it the old saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors? "

"That's the reason, that's the reason~"

After sitting down, Xu Dahai handed him the cigarette and matches, and the two lit up the cigarette and started chatting.

After discussion, Xu Ercai and his wife finally agreed that if the yellow guy comes again, they should catch him.

Otherwise, I am afraid that all the stupid chickens in the family will not be saved.

……

Xu Ercai's family doesn't have much money, so those stupid chickens are quite important assets. After all, stupid chickens can lay eggs continuously.

You can eat your own eggs, or you can sell them, or you can use them for sorbet in the summer...

Chatted for a while.

Xu Dahai put out his cigarette butt and stood up:

"Let's go, brother Ercai, let's go to Laosongtun'er while it's still early.

It would be bad if Ma Liang left home too late. "

"Okay."

Xu Ercai also stood up quickly, but the name "Ma Liang" seemed familiar to him.

Sudden.

An idea flashed in his head and he said: "Is it Ma Er from Laosongtun??"

"Yes, that's him. Do you know him?"

"Well, I heard others talk about it."

Xu Ercai chewed his teeth. He had indeed heard people say something about Ma Liang, but they were not good words.

It's similar to being crazy and always running to the widow's house. This person's life is over.

The two of them rode a [-]-inch big bar respectively and rushed to Laosongtun'er quickly.

The wheels were ringing, and the bumpy dirt road was indeed very bumpy. By the time we reached Laosongtun, our buttocks were almost split into eight pieces.

"Xiaohai, which family is Ma Erlunzhi's family?"

"That family on the right, ride with me."

When I arrived outside the fence gate of Ma Liang's house, I happened to see Ma Liang's sister Ma Qian washing clothes.

rub rub rub~

I rubbed my clothes vigorously on the washboard, and the bubbles that came up stuck together, shining with colorful light under the sunlight.

"Hey? Brother Xiao Hai!"

After hearing the sparkling sound of bicycles, Ma Qian looked up and stood up immediately when she saw Xu Dahai.

"Xiaoqian, is your brother at home?"

"He went to Longxing Township to sell Yuanpi. He just left a while ago. If you had come three minutes earlier, you might have met him."

"Oh~ What a coincidence."

After getting off the bicycle, Xu Dahai looked back at Xu Ercai, who was also looking at him. After a while, the two of them just waited here.

time flies.

This waited until noon.

Ma Qian rolled up her sleeves and started washing rice for cooking, but there were no vegetables at home, not even a tael of meat.

Slightly embarrassed, she stamped her foot one last time and decided to leave Dahai and the two of them at home while she went to the street to weigh a few kilograms of meat.

Xu Dahai quickly stopped:

"It's better for me to go, Xiaoqian, please don't go."

Xu Ercai also stood up and said:

"That's right, you're a little girl, so don't go. If something goes wrong on the way, we can't explain it to your brother... Xiaohai, come, I'll go with you."

The two rode very fast, and got off the car after arriving at a butcher's shop in the countryside.

许大海要了3斤猪肉，一块七一斤，结果割完了一称是3斤2两多，按3斤2两算，这就是5块4毛4分。

The man who sells pork is somewhat related to Park Soo-sung and is an old acquaintance of Xu Dahai. He smiled and said:

"A few cents doesn't matter. Xiaohai, you come here often to buy meat. Just give me 5 yuan."

"No, no, no, I just have a few cents left in the note. I'll give it to you. I won't give you the 4 cents?"

"That's natural. If I gave you four cents, it would be a slap in my face."

Just when Xu Dahai was about to pay, Xu Ercai behind him suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"Brother Ercai, what's wrong!?"

"Um... Xiaohai, let me pay. I'm really confused. This time I ask Ma Er... Ma Liang to catch Huang Pizi. No matter what, you shouldn't come here empty-handed."

Xu Ercai looked embarrassed and seemed a little entangled.

Logically speaking, you shouldn't come here empty-handed, but he felt a little distressed when he was asked to shell out the 5 yuan and 4 cents for the pork.

Five yuan and four cents - for his family, it was quite a lot of money.

Xu Dahai saw Xu Ercai's embarrassment, smiled, turned his wrist, got rid of his hand and paid directly.

"No need to buy pork, just buy a pack of cigarettes for Ma Liang."

"Buying cigarettes? That's fine too."

Xu Ercai was obviously relieved when he heard that just buying cigarettes was enough.

Xu Dahai smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't mean to laugh at Xu Ercai. He himself had been poor.

There is nothing to say, just choose the appropriate thing to buy according to your own financial ability.

In addition to buying meat, I also bought some canned food, rice cakes, two bottles of liquor and a carp.

Seeing Xu Dahai spending money like water, Xu Ercai couldn't help but be speechless:

"Xiao Hai, you spend too much money... too much, just like that carp. Do you still need to spend money to buy this thing?"

indeed.

In rural areas, wherever there is water in the ditches and ridges, there are almost all fish, and they are just divided into big and small fish.

Anyone who spends money to buy fish will be laughed at if he tells it.

"We don't have time to catch it. Besides, this fish weighs 3 to 4 pounds and only costs 5 cents. It's quite a bargain."

Xu Dahai felt that it was quite a bargain. After all, it was equivalent to more than ten cents per pound.

This means that in the countryside, if you are in a more prosperous urban area, you will definitely not be able to buy it at this price.

Xu Ercai said nothing more. He bought a pack of cigarettes for more than one yuan, and then rode his bicycle back to Laosongtun with Xu Dahai.

After returning to Ma Liang's house, Ma Qian was about to pick up the dried clothes back to the house.

"Brother Xiaohai, are you back? My brother is not back yet."

"It's okay. I bought some meat. Let's stew it for lunch! Your brother didn't come back because he wasn't lucky enough to eat it!"
