Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Next to the ice pit.

Seeing that the fire was about to go out, Xu Dahai casually broke off a few long corn straws and threw them into the fire.

First, the corn stalk leaves were ignited.

Soon the fire grew bigger and the corn stalks were ignited. The jumping flames continued to emit heat, bringing warmth to the six people around them.

Li Cai looked around, then curiously looked at the two remaining corn straw bundles next to him:

"No, where did these corn straw bundles come from? There are no corn straw bundles around."

"Oh, I came here from the south."

"Southern side?"

Li Cai suddenly had a bad premonition and asked repeatedly:

"It's very close to the roadside. There's a grave in the ground. There's a big crooked pine tree next to the grave. Is that the land?"

Father Xu Houtian did not go over. He looked at Xu Dahai and Xu Hu curiously.

Xu Hu was still eating sweet potatoes like a pig.

Xu Dahai thought about it for a while. The snow was too heavy. At that time, he was only focusing on packing the corn straw bundles and didn't pay much attention to whether there were any graves.

But the field was indeed very close to the road, and there was indeed a large crooked pine tree in the field.

So he nodded.

Father Xu Houtian looked away from Xu Dahai, turned to look at Li Cai, and said while picking his teeth:

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Damn it! That's my corn straw!!" Li Cai stood up in anger for a moment, his head hurting.

"Look at you, how anxious are you to burn your corn and straw bundles!? You are such a picky person."

"I...you..."

"What are you doing? Sit down! In the worst case, you can go to Xujiatun some other time. Can't you do it if I return four bundles of corn to you?"

Father Xu Houtian smiled and said that he and Li Cai were also old friends, and they talked very casually.

"Hurry up and sit down. You are two people and we are four people. Do you two still want to fight with the four of us?"

"Humph!"

Li Cai squatted down again.

Father Xu Houtian glanced at his son's coat and changed the subject:

"This belongs to your eldest son, right? Your eldest son still works in the slaughterhouse?"

Li Cai's eldest son is called "Li Yong". Like Xu Dahai's eldest brother, he also works in a slaughterhouse.

"Well, if he doesn't work in the slaughterhouse, where else can he go? That brat is also messing around now. He lost more than 200 yuan playing cards before..."

Li Cai looked up at the sun in the sky and felt that it was getting late, so he said:

“I see this dry pit, there are still many areas that have not been broken open.

Just the four of you, it’s hard to finish everything this afternoon, and the two of us have nothing to do..."

Li Cai rolled his eyes slightly and spoke carefully.

Father Xu Houtian didn't wait for him to finish, he stood up and said with a smile: "Brothers! Let's help you two too. After the work is done, I'll treat you two to a drink! Have a good drink!"

"Go away! Do I need your drink?"

Li Cai's face was filled with black lines and he said:

"My dear brother Ming Ming has settled the score and smashed this dry trap. You guys really made a lot of money!

Since you want us guys to work, why don't you give me some soup?Don't be ridiculous, just give me 10 yuan, and we will help you fix it.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to finish it until dark, and you won’t be able to go home? ?

Go back home and come back tomorrow morning?All the remaining fish were gone. "

"Why is it gone?"

"Because I will call a few people and come to fix it in the middle of the night." Li Cai chuckled:

"Are you staring at me? The fish is still in the dry pit, it is an ownerless thing! Whoever takes it out is the one who gets it.

If we don't compete with you now, it's enough to give you face. You have to admit this. "

After some debate, Li Cai and his son finally asked for 10 yuan, but Xu Houtian negotiated the price down to 6 yuan.

make a deal!

Giving them 6 yuan, the father and son agreed to help dig holes and smash fish together throughout the afternoon.

The cold wind in the afternoon was blowing, and countless snow particles were rolling on the snow not far away.

The six people assigned their positions and started working one after another. Li Cai and his son also brought hammers, chisels and other tools, and worked very hard.

For a moment, broken ice flew.

In the afternoon sun, there are little bits of bright light.

As a large number of fish were dug out of the ice, Li Cai's son Li Long took a breath of air, straightened his hat and said in a low voice:

"Dad, if only we came here earlier, these fish would all belong to our family."

Although he was not good at arithmetic, he saw that so many fish were dug out and piled up on the shore, and he knew that he would be able to sell them for a lot of money.

I'm afraid it was far more than the 6 yuan my husband and I earned.

Li Cai also felt it was a pity in his heart, but he was old and had looked away from many things, so he said:

"Okay, don't think about what you have, just get to work!

Earning 6 yuan in half a day is a good job!Don’t be dissatisfied. In this life, you will always be content with what you have. "

"alright."

Li Long thought about it and felt that his father didn't have much ability in his life, but he had a really good attitude.

Not far to the right.

Xu Dahai was carrying some fish to the shore, and there was a lot of ice on his body. His hearing was far beyond ordinary people, and the conversation between Li Cai and his son fell into his ears word for word.

Nodding darkly.

As expected of a man with a temper, he felt that Li Cai's thoughts were similar to those of his father, Xu Houtian.

The sun sets little by little in the west.

Clouds floated in and out, the sky was half white but not blue, and occasionally birds flew by.

Three in the afternoon.

The six people stopped what they were doing, built a fire, and squatted or sat around the fire to rest.

Xu Dahai took out a shriveled cigarette case from his pocket, spread the cigarettes for everyone, and said to Shen Feng with a smile:

"You originally came to Xujiatun to have fun, but in the end, you were asked to do some work."

"It's nothing. In fact, I don't do anything. It will get annoying if I sit and lie down for a long time. Occasionally I do physical work and sweat a lot."

Li Cai took out a burning corn stalk from the fire, lit the cigarette, and threw the stalk back into the fire.

He smiled and said to Xu Houtian:

"Houtian'er, how are you? I didn't let you spend those 6 yuan in vain, did you?"

He raised his chin slightly, pointing to the piece of ice on the right that was broken open by the two of them just now, and all the fish at the bottom were taken out.

"It's okay, keep working. When all the work is done, I will not only give you 6 yuan, but also buy you a drink!"

"Okay, I've written it down."

Everyone put on their gloves and went back to work.

Sudden.

The head dog with a green back came running very fast from the southeast, and the snow kicked up by the dog's paws flew everywhere. From a distance, it looked like a puff of white mist.

His dog also had something in its mouth.

The other three dogs ran behind him, equally fast.

"What's in the dog's mouth?"

"It's a rabbit!"

When the dog ran up to him, his big tail swung rapidly, and he put the rabbit in the dog's mouth towards Xu Dahai, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Haha, what a good dog!"

Xu Dahai took the big white rabbit, turned around and said with a smile:

"It weighs almost three kilograms. I had rabbit meat to eat tonight!"

The gentlemen were smashing fish just now, and the dogs were jumping around and playing on the surrounding snow. Occasionally they would open their mouths and play for a while, but they didn't know when they found the rabbit.

It was a real surprise.
