Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The provincial capital, a courtyard near Baiju Street.

At about 11:[-] noon, Xu Hu ran into the yard panting.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother!"

"What's wrong? Has the telegram to Sun Guangcai been sent?" Xu Dahai shouted from inside the room.

"sent!"

Xu Hu opened the door and entered the house, and found that there were only two people in the house, Xu Dahai and Xu Yeliang.

"Hey? Where's Brother Cheng Lin?"

"He went to buy food. See how sweaty you are from running. Sit down and rest for a while."

Xu Dahai said with a smile.

Fortunately, I brought Xu Hu and the others here. Not only can they build up their momentum, but they can also run errands and do odd jobs.

Just in case, he had to guard the sacks himself, even running to the latrine and back.

After all, it is not as safe now as it will be in later generations. There are too many thieves.

These hundreds of thousands are also very important to him.

It has been planned. In addition to using part of the funds to purchase top-quality antiques, most of the money is going to be used to buy a courtyard house in Yanjing.

Wait until later.

Even if all the other money is wasted, as long as these courtyards and antiques are around, one can steadily become a billionaire, or even a tens of billions.

Soon Rong Chenglin came back, holding a straw rope in his hand, with several iron lunch boxes tied to the straw rope, and a bottle of liquor under his arm.

"The meal is here!"

"Be careful of burning your hands, the iron lunch box is really hot."

"I've been waiting in the restaurant for a long time. The restaurants in the provincial capital are doing very well, much better than the Dafu Hotel in our hometown."

"Of course, there are many rich people in the provincial capital."

The main dish is a stewed duck, which is shiny and fragrant.

In addition, there are four or five side dishes, rice and white wine.

The weather was really hot at noon, with cicadas chirping and the leaves of the trees rustling in the hot wind.

Xu Dahai sat cross-legged next to the kang table, taking off his short sleeves to reveal his muscular upper body. He was chatting, drinking, and eating delicious duck meat, and he seemed very relaxed.

at the same time.

Distant Daquan Township, Xujiatun'er.

"Mom, I drove Yaya back!" Xiao Tingzi walked on her short legs and held a small wooden stick.

"Quack quack~"

A few months have passed, and the little ducks I bought after the New Year have grown into half-sized ducks, and their dense yellow fur has transformed into refreshing white fur.

However, free-range ducks grow slower.

So the eggs haven’t been laid yet.

The chimney was filled with smoke, and Wang Xiuxiu had already prepared the meal.

She walked out of the house and drove the ducks to the duck pen in the back garden with Xiao Tingzi and closed the fence gate.

"Did you come back from the creek in the east?"

"Yes, I was swimming with the ducks from the Sanxi family. As soon as I chased them away, they separated on their own."

After hearing what her daughter said, Wang Xiuxiu immediately pursed her lips and smiled.

"People can't tell the difference, but the duck knows whose family it belongs to. Okay, let's go back to eat."

Noodles made for lunch.

Put the cooked noodles into cold water, wait for a while, then take them out and bring them into the house.

Side dishes include braised meat, fried eggs with tomatoes, shredded fresh cucumbers, fried eggplant with meat, fried loofah, etc.

And of course garlic and sesame paste.

"Meow~meow~"

The big orange cat, which had been basking in the sun for a long time on the roof, figured it was almost time to eat, so he jumped down the wall, quickly slipped into the house, and kept meowing around Wang Xiuxiu.

"Lazy cat, go, go, wait until people are full before I feed you!"

Wang Xiuxiu used a spoon to scoop some meat stew and scrambled eggs with tomatoes into a bowl and said:

"It's already lunch, I don't know if your dad has eaten yet?"

"Oh, my dad is definitely not hungry." Xiao Tingzi swayed her calves and ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.

"If you're not hungry, you're not hungry, and the food isn't very good anyway."

Wang Xiuxiu was still full of worries.

……

provincial capital.

After finishing lunch, I took a nap again.

After waking up, Rong Chenglin rubbed his face and repeatedly proposed to go shopping. After all, he finally came back to the provincial capital.

Xu Yeliang and Xu Hu also looked forward to it.

Naturally, Xu Dahai would not force everyone to stay, but he would not go himself. After all, he still had hundreds of thousands of yuan lying quietly on the kang.

"Okay, you go ahead. Pay attention to your safety outside."

"Well, let's go then!"

Xu Yeliang and the others left happily.

Xu Dahai was not sleepy anymore, and had nothing to do anyway, so he moved a small stool to the yard and sat under a big willow tree in the south to kill time quietly.

The breeze is not dry.

The willow branches are fluttering, and the tiny spots of light are shaking to the ground. There are ants moving in groups.

Xu Dahai raised his head and closed his eyes, feeling the sunshine slowly passing by his face, not to mention enjoying it.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a watermelon seller riding a donkey riding backwards outside the door. He was pedaling slowly and his shouts were very rhythmic:

"Watermelon~watermelon~delicious and inexpensive watermelon~"

"Hey! What do you do selling watermelons?"

Xu Dahai opened the courtyard door and shouted directly.

"7 cents each, sell them all individually." A simple and honest smile appeared on the man's face.

Xu Dahai walked over and picked five, which cost only 3 cents in total.

They are all big watermelons of about ten kilograms, and they are delivered to your doorstep. They cost less than 1 cent per kilogram. They are really cheap.

People from several yards in the north also came out one after another to ask about the price.

Some people think the price is acceptable, so they start picking watermelons; others think it's expensive, so they just open their mouths and bargain.

The man selling melons has seen this situation many times, and he dealt with it with a smile on his face while wiping his sweat with a dusty towel.

The price cannot be lowered anymore. He bought these melons from his previous family. If the price is lowered, he will lose money.

Generally speaking, watermelons still sell quite quickly.

A person like Xu Dahai who bought five is considered a very small purchase.

Many families with a large population buy a dozen large watermelons at a time and eat them slowly.

……

Xu Dahai took all five large watermelons home and just cut one into pieces and ate them together.

Unexpectedly, the postman came to his door, and it was Sun Guangcai who answered the telegram to him.

The content is simple.

"Be there at nine o'clock tomorrow morning"

What they say is that at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the Dongfeng 140 truck will arrive.

Xu Dahai was very happy. As long as the truck came, he could load a few big sacks and go home.

He enthusiastically invited the deliveryman to eat watermelon, and the latter waved his hands repeatedly, but in the end he couldn't stand Xu Dahai's enthusiasm, so he took a piece and left while eating.

The big watermelon is sweet, and the pulp is inlaid with black melon seeds, which are all sandy.

Xu Dahai ate most of the watermelon.

When Xu Yeliang and the others came back at 6 o'clock in the evening, they ate the remaining half together.

"So sweet! This watermelon is so sweet!"

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"It's not about the pound, it's about selling it by the piece. A big watermelon costs 7 cents."

"That's not expensive."

After chatting for a few words, Xu Dahai wiped his mouth and said:

"If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can spend a few more days in the provincial capital, wander around and take a look. I have something to do and will go back tomorrow morning."
