Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

"Spring is better, at least it's not so cold when riding a motorcycle."

Based on the sketch drawn by Xu Yong and asking people on the road, Xu Dahai arrived at Songquan Township, Mengjiang County, at exactly 12 noon.

We found a small restaurant and had some food.

After finding out how to get to Xinshitun, Xu Dahai paid the bill and left with his wallet.

chug chug~

Seeing Xu Dahai leaving on his motorcycle, the restaurant owner smiled and said to the waiter:

“This must be here to buy ginseng again!

Tsk tsk, people's lives are different. Wu Lao Er'er's Laocaibangzi can really find sixth-grade wild ginseng. "

The young boy nodded in agreement, with envy and jealousy in his eyes, and muttered:

"Oh, Mr. Wu is really lucky."

He works as a clerk in a store and his monthly salary is only RMB 35. Even if he doesn't spend a penny, it will take him nearly 8000 years to save up to RMB 20!

How can you not be envious?

the other side.

Xu Dahai was riding a motorcycle through a field of corn and met an old man wearing a straw hat driving an ox cart passing by.

Stopped the old man's bullock cart, took out his cigarettes and handed him one.

"Uncle, if you follow this road, will you reach Xinshitun?"

The bullock cart was pulling some pigweed and wooden ladles, and as the old scalper moved around, it made a "ding-dang-dang-dang-" sound.

"Child, you are going the wrong way! Ahead is Xinhe Tun'er.

If you go to Xinshitun, there is a fork in the road on the way here. You should turn left. Did you turn right? ? "

The old man quickly wiped his sweat with the towel on his arm and happily took the cigarette.

Even without the cigarette, he would have answered Xu Dahai's question.

Now that I can have cigarettes to smoke, I am naturally happier.

Xu Dahai's heart skipped a beat. Even though he was careful, he still went the wrong way.

Fortunately, he asked the old man and found out that the wrong path was not too long.

"Come on, kid, I'll take you there! There are two forks in the road over there. If you go the wrong way again, you'll go to another village."

The old man led the ox cart forward for a while and tied the ox directly to a willow tree by the roadside.

chug chug ~ chug chug ~

Xu Dahai rode a motorcycle and drove the old man back.

The farmland is intertwined and there are quite a few dirt roads. Fortunately, with the guidance of the old man, I finally found the fork in the road leading to Xinshitun.

Xu Dahai wants money, but the old man doesn't.

Finally, after putting half a pack of Chinese cigarettes into the old man's hand, he rode off on his motorcycle.

……

The afternoon sun is shining brightly.

Occasionally, you can see some women hoeing grass on the road wearing headscarves, beads of sweat rolling down their cheeks.

Let the sun bask in it, and tenacious weeds such as grasshoppers will die.

Xu Dahai asked two more people, and after confirming that he had gone the wrong way, he soon arrived at a village.

At the entrance of the village, there were many children catching grasshoppers in the grass, swatting them one after another.

After catching the grasshoppers, they strung them on the grasshoppers. Some children already had three or four grasshoppers in their hands, and they were covered with spitting grasshoppers.

"Come on, come on, do you know where Wu Lao'er's house is? Take me there. These two pieces of candy are yours."

Xu Dahai stopped his motorcycle and took out two pieces of White Rabbit toffee from his pocket.

This is definitely a rare thing.

Children usually can't eat this stuff, and occasionally they can only buy ball-shaped hard candies to satisfy their cravings.

The child he called over hesitated, his face was so shy that he couldn't speak, but another child came forward:

"Uncle, I'll take you there! I know where Wu Lao'er's house is!"

"Okay, lead the way!"

The children ran in front of them in a swarm. Xu Dahai pushed his motorcycle and followed the children slowly, swaying around.

Soon we arrived at the door of Wu Laoer's house.

A wisp of meaty aroma floated out from the house.

"Wu Laoer! Are you at home?"

"Who is it?"

A dry man with messy hair and a bare upper body came out of the house. Seeing Xu Dahai's face, he immediately came to his senses:

"Are you here to buy ginseng? You're late and someone else has already bought it."

Even though he had expected it, Xu Dahai was inevitably a little disappointed when it happened.

However, he did not give up and said quickly:

"Who bought it? I can give you some more money. Can you buy the ginseng back?"

"Buy it back? How much did you pay?"

"One...Twelve thousand!!"

Xu Dahai originally wanted to say 1 yuan, but he had a total of [-] yuan in his bag, so he might as well get it right in one step.

Many people are short-sighted and don't have much money. They think that even a sixth-grade wild ginseng is priceless at 8000 yuan.

But Xu Dahai doesn't think so.

Six-grade wild ginseng is really rare, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. If you want to sell it, you can only sell it in big cities, and the price is not capped.

"twelve thousand??"

Wu Laoer's heart trembled twice, his eyes widened, and he could barely breathe without choking to death.

After waiting for a while, he opened the fence gate and let Xu Dahai push the motorcycle into the yard. The latter naturally gave the White Rabbit toffee to the children.

Just two pieces of candy, not enough.

He took out another two cents and gave them to the children and asked them to buy candies at the canteen.

The children ran away happily.

"The person who bought the ginseng was a guy named Xie Qingyun. He lives in the county town. Speaking of which, he is somewhat related to my family..."

Wu Laoer and Xu Dahai sat beside the millstone and talked.

The latter already regretted it to death.

Xie Qingyun just bought ginseng this morning, and the price was 8000 yuan.

Xu Dahai arrived in the afternoon, just three or four hours later, and the price rose to 1 yuan.

That’s a full 4000 yuan more! !

"Do you know where Xie Qingyun lives? How about we go find him and ask? See if we can buy back the ginseng."

Xu Dahai smiled and said:

"Whether it's possible or not, you have to ask to find out."

The anxiety in Xu Dahai's heart has completely dissipated and he has become peaceful again.

If you can buy ginseng back, that would of course be the best.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy it back, you have to try it to know the result.

"Okay! I'll go find him right now!"

"Let's go together, I have a motorcycle, it's faster."

"No, no, you are a guest. Come all the way. Take a good rest at home. I can go by myself."

Wu Laoer quickly went back to the house to get the money, wrapped it in a rag bag, told his wife a few words, and left on the [-]-foot pole.

Xu Dahai pondered for a moment, and soon figured out that the reason Wu Laoer didn't let him go was probably because he was afraid that he would buy ginseng directly from Xie Qingyun.

When the time comes, the [-] yuan belongs to Xie Qingyun, and there will be nothing wrong with Wu Lao Er. This is what the latter does not want to see.

It was getting darker a little bit.

Before Wu Laoer came back, Xu Dahai decided to stay at his house for one night.

Wu Laoer had stewed a big goose before, and originally wanted to celebrate it, but now that he went to the county seat, the goose meat was cheaper than Xu Dahai at night.

"Sister-in-law, the goose meat you stewed is so delicious!"
