Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

"Huh~ Keep a vigil? Anyway, I don't know how to keep a vigil. It's so cold in this cold weather. If you stay outside all night, you'll be freezing!"

Xu Youcheng clasped his hands together and walked home through the crunching snow, thinking to himself all the way.

Things in the countryside.

Everyone helps me and I help you, especially when the village chief comes to distribute the work for a good reason.

If his family encounters weddings and funerals in the future and wants help from most of the villagers,

Then he wouldn't dare directly refuse the village chief's arrangement.

After all, the village chief's son has been assigned to keep vigil tonight, so everyone quite supports the village chief's decision.

Sudden.

Xu Youcheng looked up and saw his cousin Xu Youliang walking towards him.

"Brother! Are you going to Gaha?"

"Your sister-in-law said there is no vinegar at home. I will go to the canteen to buy some vinegar."

"Hey~ want to eat dumplings?" Xu Youcheng's eyes lit up.

"Well, you can come and eat together, stuffed with sauerkraut and pork." Xu Youliang invited warmly with a simple and honest face.

After a few casual chats, Xu Youcheng quickly stated his intention. He wanted his cousin Xu Youliang to help him keep vigil at night.

Although the latter was honest, he was not timid and refused directly without any hesitation.

With the temperature so low, vigil at night is definitely a chore.

"I won't let your help go in vain! I'll buy you a drink! Good wine!"

"If you don't want to do it, I'll just drink it up." Xu Youliang knew that Xu Youcheng was smart and could talk, but he was stupid and was about to leave if he didn't dare to stay any longer.

Xu Youcheng stopped him quickly and said anxiously: "Can I give you money? Five yuan to help me stay overnight."

"10 yuan!"

"Okay, just 10 yuan!"

Xu Youcheng gritted his teeth, took out a big unity card from his pocket and handed it over. The latter was very happy, but did not reach out to take it, and said:

"We are brothers. I was just joking with you. Why do you take it seriously? Take your money back quickly..."

"Okay, okay, remember to keep vigil for me tonight."

Xu Youcheng directly put the money into his cousin's hand. He made a lot of money by selling fish in the provincial capital and didn't care about the ten or eight yuan.

He felt that it was not a loss to spend ten yuan to avoid a night of sin.

Xu Youliang accepted the money "reluctantly", but he was already happy. Ten yuan can buy a lot of things.

At the same time, a touch of envy emerged in his heart. He felt that his cousin Xu Youcheng must have made a lot of money in the provincial capital, otherwise he would not be so generous.

"By the way, Youcheng, aren't you busy over there in the provincial capital? Why do you have time to come back?"

"Oh, I want to take a few people with me from my hometown. There are not enough people.

Another thing is to buy some fish. There are many forks in the rivers in our rural areas, and there are also a lot of fish.

Will you go to the provincial capital with me?The salary I pay others is 120 yuan a month. If you are willing to go, I can give you 150 yuan a month. "

Xu Youcheng didn't say that what he needed was a "thug". He felt that it didn't need to be so clear. As long as he went there, no one would stand idly by when a fight happened.

Although people can also be hired from provincial capitals.

But he trusts the people in his hometown more, especially his family members who are of the same clan. Everyone knows everything about him, and there are parents, wife, children, etc. in his hometown, so they are less likely to run away with his money.

"This...let me think about it."

Xu Youliang was a little moved. 150 yuan a month was indeed a lot, but he still declined.

Because although his family is not rich, they are not short of food and clothing. His wife and children are very happy, and they are quite satisfied with their current life, and their desire for money is not strong.

"Okay, if you want to go, just come to me."

……

the other side.

Xu Dahai took Shen Feng back to his home.

Soon, the village chief's voice came out after a burst of harsh electricity from the village's loudspeaker.

The main thing is that the leopard came into the village to steal the sheep. In order to prevent it from coming again, a vigil was arranged tonight. After that, a few names were called and the villagers whose names were called were asked to go to his house.

Repeated twice more.

Finally, I turned off the loudspeaker, and the surroundings became silent for a moment.

"These people whose names were called are the ones who will keep vigil tonight?" Wang Xiuxiu was sitting in front of the stove, making a fire to cook.

Scarlet flames danced in the kitchen hall, illuminating Wang Xiuxiu's body warmly.

"OK."

Xu Dahai was just about to ask what he was cooking for tonight, when he suddenly turned around and found Xiao Tingzi standing on the right holding the big fat cat, with a look of grievance on her face, looking like she was about to cry.

The big fat cat was too heavy, weighing about fifteen or six pounds, and it was quite difficult for the little girl to hold her.

"Daughter, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Dahai didn't ask. It was okay. When he asked, the little girl burst into tears.

Wang Xiuxiu turned back and smiled:

"When the little girl came back from school, she jumped up and down looking for the little fish. She still didn't believe me when I told her that the little fish flew away...

Later, she couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked, and she asked me again. I told her that it had indeed flown away, and she became sad. "

After speaking.

Huh-huh-huh-huh~

Wang Xiuxiu continued to pull the bellows, and wisps of hot steam began to emerge from the gaps between the pot lid and the iron pot.

The little girl suddenly cried even more sadly.

Tears dripped down his cheeks and landed on the big orange cat's head, leaving the latter confused.

At this moment.

Shen Feng walked out of the thatched building with a cigarette in his mouth. After entering the house, he saw this scene and said with a smile:

"What's going on? Why are you still crying?"

Xu Dahai smiled and told what happened.

The latter also laughed instantly and said with a smile: "I also caught birds when I was a child. The birds I caught did not eat or drink and died soon after. I also cried loudly at that time."

Suddenly there were footsteps in the yard.

It was Xiaohua and Xiaoxiang who had finished eating in their mother's courtyard. Two little girls, Xiaohua and Xiaoxiang, came over. Their second sister, Xu Mei, sent them over.

The two little girls also came to see Xiaoyugouzi.

Knowing that the little fish and dog had flown away, they were equally sad. Xu Dahai took a few pieces of rock candy and gave them to them.

Eating sweet rock candy makes me feel better.

The child's mood came and went quickly, and after a while, the three people who were having fun basically forgot about it.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Xu Dahai went to the village chief's house and found out that the native leopard had not come.

The old village chief sat cross-legged on the kang, smoking a dry cigarette, frowning, and a touch of sadness appeared on his face:

"That local leopard was very cunning. This time he successfully ate the sheep. Let alone shoot him, we didn't even see his face.

I'm worried that one day in the future, he may come to the village again, and then..."

In addition to Xu Dahai, there were Erniu, Xu Yong, Xu Yeliang, Xu Dahai's second uncle, and the village chief's son in the room. Everyone was silent.

Days will go on.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In recent days, Xu Youcheng rented a yard in the countryside. A large wooden sign more than two meters high was erected at the door, which read - "Collect fish"!

The two large characters were written in blue ink. They were indeed large, but they were written crookedly, as if a dung beetle had crawled over them.

He also stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the head of each village.

He borrowed the loudspeaker of each village and shouted, and soon the villagers in every nearby village knew that he was going to collect fish.
