Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The envelope has already been opened. Maybe my mother and others have read the contents of the letter.

Xu Dahai took out the letter and looked at it.

I found out that I mainly asked my parents about my grandma’s health.

In addition, he also talked about the situation in Yanjing and so on.

Xu Dahai put away the letter and said, "The letter said it sent back two cotton-padded jackets and 100 yuan? Have you kept them?"

"Keep it."

My mother kept saying:

"The money was in the pocket of my cotton-padded jacket. There were five ten-dollar bills and ten five-dollar bills. I took out a wad of money and was shocked at that time!"

My mother smiled instantly and said to Xu Dahai: "Do you need money? If you do, use this 100 yuan."

"Ah? I don't need the money, you can just keep the flowers.

Our family's life is not as difficult as it used to be, so don't be too frugal. If you want to eat meat or snacks, candies, etc., just buy them. If you don't have enough money, tell me. "

Xu Dahai sat on the chair opposite his mother, crossed his legs and said.

"How much does it cost to eat meat every day? We ordinary farmers can't do that, we are not living a normal life..." My mother smiled and shook her head.

Long-standing frugal habits are hard to change.

More importantly, in the previous era when there was more food and clothing shortage and more hardship, the habit of "frugality" did make life better.

So my mother thinks this habit is quite good and has never thought of giving up this habit.

We chatted for a while about family issues.

An old man from a family in the village passed away. Although his surname was Xu, his relationship with Xu Dahai's family had been out of date for a long time. He usually didn't move around much, and he didn't send any errands this time.

Only the sound of blowing and beating could be heard, mixed with some crying.

The sound of rain has become very small, but the rain has not stopped.

My mother sat for a while longer, waiting for Xu Dahai to finish writing the reply to her third brother. Once the water in the pen was dry, she carefully folded the letter paper, put it in her pocket and prepared to leave.

"Mom, how about I go and send a letter?"

"No, just let your dad go when it stops raining. Anyway, he has nothing to do at home all day long."

"Um, that's fine."

Xu Dahai sent his mother to the door of the house, and the latter left wearing a fertilizer bag.

At noon, the rain got heavy again, with rumbles and thunders, heavy rain, and dark clouds. The room was as dark as twelve o'clock at night, and it could be said that you couldn't see your fingers.

Close doors and windows.

Listening to the thunder and rain outside, people can't help but feel chilly in their hearts.

"Xiao Hai, let's lift the pot and eat."

"Hmm, what are you cooking?"

"A big carp was braised in brown sauce, as well as pot-roasted pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried loofah and rice."

Wang Xiuxiu was sitting on the bed with her body crooked and was sewing Xu Dahai's trousers with needle and thread. When the sewing was finished, she bit off the thread with her teeth.

Xu Dahai tilted the lit candle and put a few drops of wax oil in the middle of the kang table.

Then put the candle on top.

Soon the candle was successfully stained on the table.

Lifting the pot, serving rice and dishes, the steam was steaming and the aroma was fragrant. The fat orange cat was also hungry, and kept circling around his feet.

"Meow~meow~"

The cat's meowing filled the whole room, covering up the sound of rain outside the window.

"Go, go, silly cat, be careful I step on you."

Tons, tons, tons~ Pour a glass of wine, eat delicious fish, drink some wine, and chat with Wang Xiuxiu. It feels very relaxed.

"It's noon now, and it's as dark as night."

Wang Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled. She scooped some scrambled eggs with tomatoes into a bowl and mixed them with rice to eat.

A little bit of the sweet and sour soup soaked the white rice, which she thought was delicious.

"It's raining heavily, the clouds are getting thicker."

"By the way, those watermelons planted in our back garden may be ripe."

"Really? You can go over and have a look when the rain stops."

A big carp was cut into four pieces. Only two pieces were eaten, and the remaining two pieces were kept for dinner.

"Meow~"

The big orange cat meowed greedily, nuzzling this and that with its big furry head, and finally got a piece of fish.

He wagged the tip of his tail twice, then happily ate with his head down.

……

After eating, Xu Dahai lay on the kang and took a nap. It was really enjoyable to sleep on a rainy day. He slept very soundly.

When he wakes up again.

It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Purr, purr, purr~" The fat orange cat was lying on his chest, sleeping soundly.

It rained so heavily that the Yuhong class automatically had a holiday. Xiao Tingzi and Wang Xiuxiu were also sleeping on his right side.

Xu Dahai felt so lazy that he didn't want to get up. He stroked the big orange cat with soft hair, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep again.

……

I don't know how long it took.

Xu Dahai was woken up by Wang Xiuxiu. He looked at his watch and it was almost 04:30 in the afternoon.

"Get up, the rain outside has stopped and the sun has come out."

When Xu Dahai got up and got off the kang, he opened the door and immediately saw bright sunlight shining on his face.

The dark clouds dispersed, the sky was filled with sunset, and the red light of the setting sun was sprinkled on the small puddles, and the dazzling light was reflected.

The air is humid and the water vapor is very heavy. Looking around, I can see that the wooden poles, thatched buildings, barns, trees, weeds, etc. have all been washed very clean by the rain.

Even on the ground.

There are many marks left by the flow of water.

Taking a deep breath, her lungs felt refreshed. At this time, Wang Xiuxiu said that there was no more vinegar in the house, and Xu Dahai left the yard and walked to the canteen.

Several dogs jumped around and followed him, occasionally raising their legs to urinate under the telephone poles on the roadside.

After he came to the canteen.

I happened to meet Xu Hu and his wife, and his son and daughter were sitting in Xu Hu's arms.

"Yi Yi Ya Ya ~"

The two little guys can't speak yet, and all they come out of their mouths are syllables that are incomprehensible.

"Fourth brother, do you want to buy something?" Xu Hu greeted him first.

"Your sister-in-law said there is no vinegar at home. I'm here to buy a pot of vinegar."

"Ah? Do you want to eat dumplings?"

"That's right. Come to my courtyard and have something to eat together. Let us two brothers have something to drink together."

"I have a big appetite, so I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat, hehe~"

"If the dumplings aren't enough, aren't there some steamed buns? Come over here and let's have some together."

Xu Hu was quite moved by Xu Dahai's invitation. He turned to look at his wife Liu Hong.

Since giving birth to a son and a daughter, Liu Hong has become much more mature. She wears a floral cotton-padded jacket and gray trousers, moves neatly, and has a more capable look on her face.

She is buying cakes and biscuits, and plans to go back to her parents' house early tomorrow morning.

"Fourth brother has invited you, so you can go, but don't drink too much." She replied with a smile while paying.
