Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

It was such a comfortable sleep. Xu Dahai climbed up from the kang.

The light in the room was dim. I squinted and looked at the clock on the wall. It was indeed 11:30 noon.

The power went out a long time ago.

The light is brighter than in the morning, so there is no need to light candles - mainly because my mother is reluctant to light candles and is used to being frugal, so she can save whatever she can.

"Renqing didn't come over?"

"Well, why don't you go call him?"

"I'm going to see him."

Xu Dahai put on his rain boots, put on his fertilizer bag and went out.

Shashasha~

The raindrops hit the fertilizer bags, making loud noises. Black clouds rolled in the sky, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

The dirt road turned into soft mud.

It was very difficult to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow. After walking very far, the shoes were covered with thick mud and became very heavy.

"Fuck!"

His right foot slipped and slid half a meter away. Fortunately, Xu Dahai stabilized himself in time, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

When he arrived at the new house, he saw Wang Renqing and the workers cooking in the work shed.

gurgle gurgle~

There are large pieces of pork in the pot. When you push it with the spoon, the aroma is overflowing. In the other pot is simmering rice.

The strong workers were squatting or sitting, smoking and laughing and chatting loudly. The atmosphere was so good that the sound of wind and rain was even drowned out by their laughter.

Xu Dahai entered the work shed, quickly took off the fertilizer bag, reached outside the work shed and shook off the rainwater above.

Wang Renqing stood up, smiled and handed him a cigarette.

"have you eaten?"

"No, I'm here to ask you to come over for dinner."

The work shed is quite short, and people have to bend down inside and cannot stand upright at all.

"I won't go over there. I'll just eat together with the others here."

Wang Renqing took Xu Dahai and sat on the straw dumplings, smoking and chatting.

There was a cool breeze, but the fire under the pot was burning brightly, so it wasn't cold at all.

"This house is very good, especially the more than 20 purlins. We have built many houses for others, and I have never seen anyone use such good purlins."

A worker chatted with a smile. There was still dried mud on his trouser legs, but his smile was very sincere and hearty.

"Yeah, I brought it over from the lumber factory."

Xu Dahai replied, his heart moved, he turned to his brother-in-law Wang Renqing and said:

“If you build a house for others, where do the purlins come from?”

"Usually the owner goes to the mountain to saw it, or he just buys it and pulls it around until he has enough."

"Well, I can introduce you to people from the lumber factory. If anyone needs to buy purlins in the future, you can help contact them."

"Really!? That's great!"

Wang Renqing was very happy, and his mind was also very active. He quickly thought that if he helped buy purlins, could he also make some money on the purlins?

Even if you don't make money on purlins.

If they can help the owner buy purlins, then the owner will choose to let them build a house, and there will be no need for other construction teams.

Yes.

Wang Renqing and his team are not the only construction teams active in several nearby towns, and they also have certain competition with each other.

Wang Renqing didn't want to be special. He wanted to eat from the same pot, chat and mingle with other workers without creating any barriers.

Xu Dahai understood his thoughts, so he stopped persuading him and went back to eat by himself.

At four o'clock in the afternoon.

The dark clouds dispersed, golden sunshine spread on the earth, and the rain finally stopped.

"It's not raining anymore!"

"We won't be able to build a house today. Let's show it first and then talk about it."

"Hey! The toads are really cheering. It's raining, and the toads are happy."

"Si'er~Gu'er~Si'er~Gu'er~"

Especially over the big puddle, hundreds of toads were screaming together. The noise was really too loud. It was like a toad convention.

of course.

This aroused great interest among the children. They ran with their net bags and kept inviting other friends:

"Quick, quick, quick! Go catch the toad!!"

Not long after, they returned home with loads of food. Some of them could hold a schoolbag, and there were three or four toads stuck upside down in the left and right pants pockets.

As for whether he will be beaten when he returns home - that's not clear.

……

"Xiao Tingzi, stop wandering around, wash your hands and we have to eat!"

"alright!"

Xiao Shitou gave Xiao Tingzi a toad, and Xu Dahai helped her tie a string to the toad and held the other end of the string.

Toads were jumping around in the yard, and she followed them on her short legs.

I don’t know what Toad is thinking, but Xiao Tingzi is quite happy anyway.

"Mom, what should I do with the toad?"

"Your dad is also idle, and he still ties a rope to the toad? Just throw it away, it's disgusting to look at."

……

A heavy rain actually spawned a lot of fungus.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiuxiu called Xu Dahai to get up and pick up the fungus.

"Oops! It's a waste of time. If you want to eat, just go to the big market and buy some. They are very cheap. If you have this time, you might as well sleep more."

"How can it be the same? We picked it up ourselves and it tastes more delicious! It doesn't cost anything!"

"It's a lie that it tastes more delicious, but it's true that it doesn't cost money."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiuxiu was the first to laugh, and Xu Dahai also laughed.

The morning breeze blows, and there are still a few remaining stars hanging in the sky. The cicadas haven't even started calling yet.

The surrounding seemed very quiet.

Putting on rain boots and carrying a basket, the young couple set off directly with Xiao Tingzi.

"Pick up the fungus! Pick up the big fungus!"

The little girl is jumping around and not active in going to school, but she is very active in picking up fungus.

"Don't jump, don't jump. Have you seen the mud puddle on the ground? If you step on it, mud will splash all over you."

The three people walked westward along the wooden sticks. After finding one house, they looked for another. Gradually, more fungi were in the basket.

"Agaric trees tend to grow on oak and basswood. Look, this is just an oak tree with so many growths!"

Xu Dahai pointed to an oak stick and saw a large number of fungus growing densely on a tree section more than one meter high.

Most of the fungus are relatively small. They only pick the big ones, and they don't want to pick too many, just enough to eat one or two meals.

"Pick, pick, pick! Pick quickly!"

Xiao Tingzi was the most active, but she was very short. In the end, it was Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiuzhai.

Walking westward along the dirt road, you can also pick the fungus on other people's sticks.

When they arrived at Rongcheng Lin's house, the latter was coming out of the thatched house and said with a smile: "Is this Gaha? Picking fungus!?"

"Yeah! I took off the fungus on your stick!"

"Pick it! Pick it whatever you want!"

Rong Chenglin opened the fence gate and told them that there were more fungus on the sticks in the northwest corner of his house.

After a few people came here, sure enough, there were blossoms of fungus growing on some basswood trees.

Xiao Tingzi is going crazy with joy!

He kept shouting, "Pick it quickly, pick it quickly, that one is big! Pick that one!!"
