Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

morning.

The air in the house is cool, and when you raise your head slightly, you can see very beautiful window grilles, which are crystal clear.

"Get up, it's already eight o'clock."

Wang Xiuxiu was lying on the bed with a lazy expression. She stretched her right hand into Xu Dahai's bed and could touch the fat orange cat.

"This cat is so smart. She must have felt cold, so she got into bed! It's warm under the blanket!"

"It's not bad, at least I didn't get into the kitchen hall..."

Xu Dahai smiled and said:

"Brother Cheng Lin's cat comes out of the kitchen stove every winter and often lights a fire. Then another cat comes out of the kitchen stove! His beard is even burnt off."

Wang Xiuxiu also pursed her lips and smiled.

The westernmost house.

Ma Liang had woken up a long time ago, but he was greedy for the warm bed and didn't want to get up.

The room was very quiet, and I could hear the faint chatter and laughter of Xu Dahai and his wife. For a while, my longing for his wife Jiang Aiyun reached its peak.

Soon.

"Ma Liang! Are you up? Get up and eat!"

"Yeah, I'm waking up right now."

Ma Liang was getting dressed quickly, but the legs of a pair of cotton trousers got rubbed out from the quilt. It was so cold!

"Hi~ha! His~ha!"

He was so cold that he grinned and trembled all over! !

But this time, he was completely sleepless and became more energetic!

Breakfast is rice porridge, cabbage cores dipped in soybean paste, fried potato slices with meat, and glutinous steamed buns and sticky bean buns.

after eating.

Ma Liang was so excited about returning home that he hurried home on the [-]th pole.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the evening of November 1987, 11.

There is a red sunset on the horizon, the cold wind blows, and the voices of villagers can be faintly heard in the distance.

Wang Xiuxiu had a basket on her arm and had just returned from picking up eggs in the back garden when she saw Xu Dahai sawing gourds and gourds.

rub rub rub~

Put the gourd and gourd on the bench, hold it down with your left hand, and use your right hand to saw a little bit, and the pieces fell to the ground.

"Did you pick those gourds and gourds on the house?"

"Yeah, the seeds are all here, keep them for planting next spring!"

There are a total of 5 ripe and completely dried gourd gourds.

But one is very small, so keep it for Xiao Tingzi to play with. Saw the other four in half and get eight ladles!

After using this kind of ladle for a long time, the inside will become a little black, which may be mold.

So Xu Dahai threw all the ladles and ladles he had at home next to the stove.

"Just burn the original ladles and ladles as firewood and use new ones!! Also replace the chopsticks with new ones and throw away the old chopsticks."

"Yeah, then throw it away."

Wang Xiuxiu knew that Xu Dahai loved to be clean, so she didn't say anything. She walked into the house with the basket and said:

"It's getting colder, and chickens don't lay eggs as much. Ducks and geese, even more so, eat so much food every day that they can't even lay any eggs."

"This... If it doesn't go down, it won't go down. By the way, I'll go to Xiao Tingzi's grandfather's yard and bring two ladles."

"Yeah, remember to buy a pack of candles from the canteen when you come back. There has been a power outage for the past two days, and all the candles at home have been burned out."

Xu Dahai put the saw and bench back into the warehouse and went out with two ladles.

Four dogs were running in front, with streams of white gas coming out of their mouths.

Some villagers have already prepared meals and are bending over to shovel snow in the yard.

As a junior, Xu Dahai smiled and took the initiative to chat: "Uncle, are you shoveling the snow?"

"Well, are you going to Gaha?"

"Go to my grandfather's courtyard."

"Don't leave when you come back later. Stay at my house for dinner. We have stewed rabbit meat and some good wine!" The villager held the shovel handle with both hands and had a kind smile on his face.

Xu Dahai laughed instantly.

In the end, of course, he declined.

When we came to Grandpa's yard, Grandma had just lifted the pot. There was too much heat in the room. There was no heat below 1.5 meters above the ground, and it was full of heat when it was above 1.5 meters.

Xu Dahai's chest and upwards were covered in heat, as if he was in a fairyland.

"Milk! Oh, so much heat!"

"Yeah, steamed buns, please open the door for a while."

Opening the door, the hot breath ran out, and the cold wind blew away.

He put down two ladles and explained his purpose. Grandma was also very happy.

"By the way, do you need grates and forks in your yard? Your grandfather went to visit one of his old comrades a few days ago and brought back about twenty grates and forks from his old comrades."

Grate fork is a wooden tool placed in the pot to support the grate. Some are "V" shaped, and some are "H" with an extra horizontal line in the middle.

It turns out that my grandfather’s old comrade-in-arms was very poor and was disabled due to the war, so my grandfather often gave him some money.

The other party didn't want to ask for money in vain, so he gave Grandpa some grates and forks for some psychological comfort.

Xu Dahai knew this.

So I often give my grandfather some money. A thousand or eight hundred yuan is not much to him, but it is enough for several poor veterans to live well for a year.

As for the country - the country is also very poor in this era. Money is needed everywhere, and some things just...

After sitting for a while, when he left, in addition to two grates and forks, he also had a basket in his hand.

Inside are some freshly steamed steamed buns, stewed sweet potatoes, etc.

"Dogs! Let's go!"

Walking back with the dogs, when passing by my mother's yard, I happened to see my second sister Xu Mei shoveling snow.

"Second sister! Shall I take you to the city tomorrow?"

"Ah? The exam is the day after tomorrow."

"It's too late to go the day after tomorrow."

Xu Fang thought about it and realized that her brother was right. She was really confused. There was an exam at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow.

This is different from last year. Last year, the exam started in the afternoon, so I could go in the morning.

Early the next morning.

Xu Dahai was worried that his second sister Xu Meilang had caught a cold, so he asked Park Xiucheng to borrow a Dongfeng 140 truck.

He was sitting in the driver's seat, and his second sister Xu Mei was sitting in the passenger seat.

The two drove directly to the urban area of ​​Hunjiang City.

Xu Dahai didn't come to Hunjiang City many times. First, he was selling red ginseng, and he hadn't been caught at Hunjiang City Station yet.

Second, before 1985, Baisong, Jingyu, Hailong, Liuhe, etc. were all under the jurisdiction of the "Tonghua District".

In 1985, the regions were removed, a city-governed county system was implemented, and a series of re-divisions were carried out.

Relatively speaking, Tonghua is more prosperous.

There were several examination rooms for the Adult College Entrance Examination, and Xu Mei was arranged to take the examination in the city's No. [-] Middle School.

It happens that tomorrow is Saturday, and the students of the No. [-] Middle School have a holiday. The second sister and the others occupy the classroom to take the exam.

After finding a hotel nearby to stay, Xu Dahai told his second sister to take a rest early and calm down. It was already at this point, and there was no point in being anxious.

"The worst case scenario is that you haven't passed the exam yet. Don't worry, the sky won't fall. You should eat and sleep. Life will still be wonderful!" Xu Dahai advised.

"That's what I said..." Second sister Xu Mei smiled instantly, took a deep breath, and said:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. In the worst case, I'll teach junior high school mathematics at Daquan Township Middle School for the rest of my life.

In fact, this job is very good now. I can’t get wet from the wind or the rain. I don’t know how many people envy me. I should be content. "
