Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Xu Dahai walked on the street. The morning sun gradually became hotter, and the autumn tiger began to show its power.

It has already been winter in the Northeast, but it is still autumn here in Zhejiang Province.

"The cost of 45 kilograms of red ginseng was 3400 yuan. Now it sells for 7650 yuan. This reduction is 4250 yuan! Huge profits, absolute huge profits!!"

Xu Dahai walked and watched, and also went to a roadside grocery store to buy some local twists to eat.

Tianjin hemp flower is more famous, but there is also a small hemp flower in Wenzhou, which tastes quite delicious.

Xu Dahai was not in a hurry to go back, but went to the station to buy a ticket to Liushi Town, Yueqing City, and went around the towns below.

at the carpark.

Every dilapidated bus coming back from Liushi Town was packed with people, everyone carrying large and small bags.

Judging from the accent, most of them are local, but there are also many people from Yanjing, Hebei, Hubei, Anhui, Sichuan and other provinces.

There were also accents that Xu Dahai couldn't distinguish, and he spoke so fast that he couldn't understand them at all.

"There are so many people."

Looking at the huge crowd of people, Xu Dahai's scalp went numb and he couldn't help but muttered.

"Hey, is this your first time back, young man?" An old man sighed and said, "The excitement now is far less than before. There used to be 30 salesmen. How many are there now? Hey~ "

"30? Is that an exaggeration?"

"Hey, you young man still doesn't believe it, go and find out..."

The old man also had a bad temper. When he got on the minibus, he changed to the seat next to Xu Dahai and kept chattering.

Xu Dahai listened quietly and occasionally asked a few questions, which actually let him know a lot of information.

Going to the towns and villages below, Xu Dahai discovered that there are many small factories, small family workshops, etc. everywhere.

Produces buttons, needles, threads, reading glasses, hardware, food, toys, pens, clothes, shoes and bags, etc.

There are so many different kinds.

The stronger ones may hire a few workers, while the smaller ones may work as a couple, or with the elderly at home.

"Homogenization is also very serious. It seems that there are hundreds of small workshops making buttons along the way.

But the market is so big that it can basically radiate across the country. A large number of salespeople rely on their hands and shoulders, and take trains, cars, and ships to sell goods all over the country. "

Xu Dahai rested one night in Liushi Town, lying on the bed and looking at the stars outside the window, he was still feeling emotional.

China is a huge country, and the customs and policies of different places are really different.

It's only 1984, and if there are factories in other rural areas, they will probably be arrested soon, and they have to be secretly buying and selling small commodities.

But here, it's almost open to the public, and the officials don't care at all.

"You can actually make money by reselling many small commodities, but the profit is far less than that of red ginseng, so I'll just sell red ginseng honestly."

Xu Dahai lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and fell asleep in the middle of the night.

After dawn, he hurried to the station with his large and small bags and got on the bus to Wenzhou City.

Inside the bag were the gifts he bought for Wang Xiuxiu, Xiao Tingzi, and his sister.

There are women's cotton-padded jackets, boots, hairpins, pens, fabrics, snacks and more.

Wang Xiuxiu at home had already received a telegram from Xu Dahai and had been waiting for him to return.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and the train backed up to the passenger car, and the passenger car backed up to the cattle cart.

In the end, Xu Dahai took a bullock cart back to Xujiatun.

There was heavy snow falling in the sky. It was about 11 o'clock at noon. Smoke from many people's chimneys was floating out, and the aroma of food was also wafting out.

"Wang Wang~"

Uncle Liu's little black dog was running around and playing with other dogs in the village. When he saw Xu Dahai, he immediately ran over, wagging his tail, and Gulu lay down on the snow.

"Silly dog, get up."

The little black dog followed Xu Dahai all the way back to his house. When he saw him entering the yard, the little black dog ran away.Mom, second sister and Wang Xiuxiu were picking mushrooms and chatting in the house.

After hearing the noise, they quickly looked out through the window and saw what looked like Xu Dahai, so they all came out to greet him.

"Oh my God, you're finally back, aren't you cold? Come in quickly!"

"You've lost weight. Have you suffered from old age?"

"Drink some hot water to keep you warm."

"What are you bringing back? Oh, we don't need to spend that wasted money, our family doesn't lack anything..."

A person's family members immediately surrounded Xu Dahai, some asked him to get on the kang, some poured him hot water, and even asked him about his situation in the past few days.

It was already early October of 1984 on the lunar calendar, and a week had passed since Xu Dahai set out for Guannei.

Xu Dahai sat on the kang covered with a quilt and drank hot water. Instantly, the warmth flowed through his body and he felt less cold.

While chatting with his family, Xu Daibian unpacked the last baggage and distributed the things he bought to his family one by one.

"Mom, these are the cotton shoes I bought for you and my dad; Xiuxiu, here are your cotton-padded jackets, hairpins, horn combs..."

"This cotton-padded jacket is really good. Did it cost a lot of money?"

"Three dollars."

"Oh my god, are they so cheap? We also have cotton-padded jackets at the supermarkets in our hometown, and none cost less than 100 yuan."

"It's cheap, but I bought it on the way back. If I just bought a cotton-padded jacket, it wouldn't be worth running away."

Xu Dahai took another sip of hot water from the enamel jar and said:

"A round trip costs more than 70 yuan for the train ticket alone. In addition, there are meals, accommodation, transporting the car, etc. The cost is really quite high."

"So expensive?"

Sudden.

Qimei Xiaohua raised her head and pulled at his quilt.

"What's wrong? Is your skin itchy?"

"Hmph! Didn't you buy me something? You have everything, but I don't have anything." Xiaohua's voice gradually weakened, and she seemed a little aggrieved with a crying tone.

"Oh, I bought you some candies, let's share some and try the candies from the south." Xu Dahai patted his head and handed her the candies he brought back.

The little girl was instantly happy. She was short of material resources. She also felt very novel when she saw this kind of candy wrapped in sugar paper, so she shared it with Xiaoxiang and Xiaotingzi.

"Meow~"

The big orange cat also came to join in the fun, walking around on cat steps, rubbing its body, nudging its head, and always meowing next to Xu Dahai.

Reach out and pet the cat.

At this time, dad, grandpa, grandma, second uncle, and third uncle all came one after another, all coming to see the fun and to hear the strange things.

After all, the villagers in Xujiatun have not even gone to the provincial capital in recent years, let alone Guanli.

They started chatting loudly, and finally the Kang table was put on, the dishes were served, and everyone just drank and chatted.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, pot-roasted pork, roasted eggplant, frozen tofu stewed carp, a large portion of braised pork and several vegetarian dishes.

The staple food is sauerkraut and pork dumplings.

Carp is rare in winter, and it is quite delicious, so everyone eats the fish meat.

A wild cold-water carp is quite big, probably weighing more than 6 pounds. It is a tough dish.

"Yesterday I had nothing to do and went to the market in Longxing Township. I saw someone setting up a stall selling fish. I thought I hadn't eaten fish for a long time, so I bought it."

The old uncle took a sip of wine and said with a smile:

"I heard they said the pit was smashed and a lot of fish were fished out. This one is not the biggest, there are even bigger ones."
