Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The autumn wind blows outside the window, and the dry leaves roll in the yard, making a rustling sound.

A sense of desolation penetrates people's hearts.

Warm back room.

Xu Dahai took a sip of wine and ate the fried meat with potato slices:

"Smells! Are these potatoes from this year?"

"Yes, the two acres of land in Nanwa have grown a lot of potatoes, much more than last year... Of course, there is also a lot of manure spread on that field this year."

Chatting freely.

After waiting for a while, Xu Dahai ate two steamed buns with vegetables and drank a large bowl of millet porridge before he finished.

at night.

After Xiao Tingzi fell asleep with the big fat cat in her arms, it was better to say goodbye than a newlywed. The young couple had a nice tender moment and finally fell asleep hugging each other.

Early the next morning.

Xu Dahai was in a daze when he heard Wang Xiuxiu getting dressed next to him. Without opening his eyes, he said:

"Are you up so early?"

"Xiao Tingzi has to go to school and needs to make breakfast." Wang Xiuxiu looked at the dim sky outside the window and said softly:

"If you're sleepy, just sleep a little longer. When the meal is ready, I'll call you two."

Xu Dahai quickly fell asleep again.

During the past month and a half in Dalian, he couldn't sleep well, and his heart seemed to be on a string all the time.

Now that I'm home, I feel completely relaxed.

……

After breakfast, Xiao Tingzi went to school in a daze carrying her schoolbag.

Ercai's daughter-in-law also came to ask Wang Xiuxiu to go work on the chicken farm.

"Let's go, Xiuxiu, it's almost time."

"Yeah, here we go."

Wang Xiuxiu finished washing the pot, looking a little embarrassed. While wiping her hands, she turned back to Xu Dahai and said:

"If you're sleepy, just go back to the kang and continue sleeping. You've been tired for many days and it's time to take a good rest. You can't make enough money."

"Wait a minute, are you going to work on the chicken farm in our village?"

"Well, my second wife came to call for me. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just go for the day."

"How much does it cost per day?"

"Eight...eighty cents."

Wang Xiuxiu's voice was low and she carefully observed Xu Dahai's expression. She was afraid that the latter would think she was embarrassed.

"Breathe~" Xu Dahai took a deep breath and waved his hand:

"Go ahead, let's go. We agreed that we would only go there for one day and never go there again. Our family doesn't lack the eighty cents..."

"OK."

Wang Xiuxiu was happy and put on a pair of dirty coarse clothes. She didn't feel bad if they were dirty, and soon left with her second daughter-in-law at a brisk pace.

“I’m such a stupid wife, I have to work for a day just for 80 cents…

Not to mention, I hired Yang Weiguo and his family of four to raise roe deer. Yang Weiguo’s salary is more than 2 yuan a day, and his wife and parents earn more than 1 yuan and 1 hair a day..."

The sleepiness came again.

Xu Dahai returned to the back room, stretched out on the kang and fell asleep quickly.

When he woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning, and the big fat cat was lying on his chest, lifeless.

There were soft voices outside the courtyard, which must have been villagers passing by.

"Go, lie down on your side."

He took the big orange cat aside, turned over, and quickly arrived at the Tunxi Chicken Farm with a cigarette in his mouth.

Poultry such as chickens usually do not open their mouths, but they will also make "gu~gu~gu~" sounds in their neck cavity.

The voice is drawn out and slow.

Maybe it's like many people who hum a little tune when nothing happens.

As soon as Xu Dahai approached the chicken farm, he heard a lot of cooing sounds inside.

"Hey~ Xiaohai? When did you come back?"

Xu Xiaowen was wearing a gray coarse cloth gown. He was holding a sickle in his right hand and cutting dry weeds with his left hand.

Hearing footsteps approaching, he turned around and found that it was Xu Dahai.

"I came back last night, Mr. Xiaowen. You, the farm manager, are still cutting the grass yourself? Haha~ Come on, give me the sickle and I will cut it~"

"Go, go, don't make fun of me as soon as you come back."

Xu Xiaowen laughed.

Xu Dahai took out cigarettes and matches and handed one to Xu Xiaowen. After lighting it, the two stood at the door of the chicken farm, smoking and chatting.

"Smoke a good cigarette... What kind of cigarette is this?"

"Yuxi."

"Good cigarettes just taste different. Isn't this cigarette worth two or three yuan a pack?"

The two chatted casually, and Xu Xiaowen also said that the reason why he cut the hay was because he was afraid that the naughty children would light it on fire.

When the fire breaks out, it is possible to burn down all the houses inside.

Soon.

squeak~

After opening the door and going inside, Xu Dahai saw his wife Wang Xiuxiu and seven or eight women from the village, carrying water and stirring chicken food.

Others came out of the henhouse with baskets on their backs, and in the baskets were today's eggs.

"These adult stupid chickens were already adults when we bought them, right?"

"Yes, some are bought from our village, and some are bought from Laosongtun and Heixiazigou."

"How much does one cost?"

"I bought more than 300 chickens for 2.6 yuan... With these chickens laying eggs, our chicken farm will have income every day. At the end of the year, I plan to distribute some dividends so that the villagers can see the money back."

The two of them strolled around the chicken farm casually.

As soon as he entered the warehouse where the corn was stored, several animals ran past quickly, as fast as afterimages, and Xu Dahai was startled.

"what?"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a cat.

"So many cats? Five or six, right?"

"There are more, there are seven in total." Xu Xiaowen squatted down, and two kittens immediately ran to him, meowing and nuzzling against him.

The other cats were more vigilant. Some were standing on the grain bags, and some were poking their heads behind the firewood, but did not come over.

"There are so many rats, they are so swarming.

In the past, I could often hear rats fighting and screaming in the middle of the night.

One night in the middle of the night, I felt something fluffy moving under the quilt, which scared me into a cold sweat. It was also a mouse..."

Xu Xiaowen touched the kitten’s head and smiled:

"It's much better after raising a cat. The mice don't dare to come out."

Wait until eleven o'clock noon.

When it was time to get off work, Xu Dahai and his wife Wang Xiuxiu walked to their home.

"What did you say to Mr. Xiaowen? It's quite fun to see you chatting."

"Oh, he said he would distribute a bonus to the villagers at the end of the year. He doesn't know how much money he will receive this time."

After lunch.

Xiao Tingzi went to school, Wang Xiuxiu continued to work on the chicken farm, and Xu Dahai took a nap for too long and was not sleepy at all.

Then he rode on a large pole and led the dogs out of the village.

"The crops in the fields have all been harvested. Oh, there are only a few old men and women picking up bean straw and corn."

The sky was overcast, and the cold wind was blowing down the collar of his neck. He had just reached the end of his home.

Sudden.

The wind stopped and snowflakes slowly began to fall from the sky.

"Woof~"

Several dogs were jumping around and biting the falling snowflakes with their mouths. Xu Dahai was amused.

swoosh~

Mr. Liu's little black dog, holding a rabbit in its mouth, ran quickly across the dirt road not far away, kicking up a puff of dust with its paws.

The ears of Qing Bei and the four big wolf dogs stood up, and they were about to chase Xiao Hei. Xu Dahai quickly called them to stop them.

"Okay, since it's snowing, let's go home quickly, clean the shotgun, and go hunting in the mountains tomorrow!

I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know what kind of prey I can catch on my first trip to the mountains after the snow falls. "
