Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The sky was overcast, and soon snowflakes began to fall.

On the window sill outside the house, the little fish smacked his lips, jumped a few times, and tilted his head to look at Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu.

"It doesn't seem to be full. How about feeding it some more roe deer meat?"

Wang Xiuxiu liked the beautiful kingfisher very much and stroked its feathers with her fingers.

"叽～叽～"

The kingfisher jumped twice and pecked her fingers with its sharp beak.

"Hey, it's windy and snowy. It's too cold outside. Let's take it inside and feed it again inside."

"Then you have to watch the big fat cat and don't let the cat eat it."

"Yeah, lock the cat in the west room."

……

After the meal was cooked, the food was served on the table. Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu chatted while eating.

brush~

There was a sudden power outage, and the room suddenly became dark. After lighting candles, the light filled most of the room again.

"I didn't expect there was another power outage. I wanted to check the weather forecast, but I couldn't see it."

"It's probably going to snow tomorrow, so it's okay if you don't watch. Let's eat. These beef meatballs are really good. I'll fry them up again if I have time."

Xu Dahai sat cross-legged next to the Kang table, eating a bite of meatballs and sipping wine, leisurely and enjoying himself.

Wang Xiuxiu sat opposite him, eating rice and continuing to chat with him, smiling:

"Yesterday I went to the canteen to buy a thimble and met Bugler's wife.

She complained to me, saying that Bugao had heard strange stories from Cheng Lin and would tell them to her when she got home.

She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep all night long. Whenever she closed her eyes, there were strange shadows floating in front of her eyes. "

"Ah?" Xu Dahai laughed instantly.

"Are the weird stories Cheng Lin told really so scary?" Wang Xiuxiu looked curious.

"Let's talk about the story of the female spy chasing down Long Lao Er. Do you want to hear it? I can also tell it to you."

"Ah, forget it then."

Wang Xiuxiu was shocked and quickly refused. She didn't want to lose sleep at night.

after eating.

After feeding the little kingfisher some roe deer meat, the latter lay down in Xu Dahai's hat, folded its wings, and fell asleep beautifully.

Carrying the hat, he went to the westernmost room, locked the kingfisher in the room, locked the door, and took the big fat cat out.

Wang Xiuxiu stroked the cat's head and carried her to the east room:

"Don't let cats and birds stay in the same room, so the birds don't get eaten. By the way, I remembered something."

"What's the matter?"

Xu Dahai came in with a lump of a green oak tree in his arms, ready to burn the kang again.

As the old saying goes - if you have a lump on the bed, it will be so hot that it will be bright all night long.

It is much better to burn a kang with a knot head than with a big wooden kang or two splits of firewood, but the latter two types of burners are too hard.

The heat was too little, and the earthen kang was cold in the second half of the night.

If the fever is more severe, I won’t be able to sleep in the first half of the night. I will toss and turn like a pancake, and I will wake up with big blisters at the corners of my mouth in the morning.

"Ma Liang came here before and brought two flying dragons. You were not at home at that time. Xiao Tingzi and her grandfather had a meal with him."

Wang Xiuxiu put the big fat cat in front of the cat bowl and patted it twice.

The latter began to gulp down the food, wagging the tip of its tail happily.

"What's wrong with him?"

"I didn't say anything. Maybe I just wanted to play with you, or maybe I saw you weren't at home, so I didn't say anything."

"Yeah, I'll go to his house in a few days."

Sudden.

There were footsteps in the yard. It was my mother who was sending Xiao Tingzi over.

……

Xiaotingzi, Xiaohua, Xiaoxiang and the other little girls are the happiest when the kingfisher comes. They come to see the kingfisher every day.

Chirping non-stop.

Xu Dahai was also asked to take a camera and take photos of them and the kingfisher.

"Don't catch it hard. The bird will die easily. Don't crush it to death. It will cry and fuss again."

Xu Dahai remembered that when his sixth sister, Xu Juan, was a child, her elder brother once caught a bird for her.

Xiaojuan'er liked it very much. It was so precious that she was pinched to death once and cried for a long time.

Finally, her mother slapped her on the buttocks a few times, and she recovered.

Time flies by. Xiaojuan is in her third year of high school and will take the college entrance examination in a few months. Maybe she has forgotten about it.

"No, no."

Several little girls surrounded Kingfisher and retorted repeatedly.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning.

After breakfast, Xu Dahai found a wooden box for antiques, filled it with straw, and put two bottles of Maotai inside.

Put a wooden lid on it and tie it with string.

"Xiuxiu, I'm going to Ma Liang's house. You don't have to cook for me at noon."

"Yeah, take your time on the road."

When Xu Dahai arrived at Laosongtun on a 28-meter pole, he saw a group of children running past the village entrance and the sound of firecrackers.

There was a faint smell of gun smoke in the air.

"Weier~Weier~"

There are also the screams of big stupid pigs, which are villagers killing the New Year pigs.

"The smell of the New Year in the air is getting stronger and stronger."

A smile appeared on Xu Dahai's lips, he took a deep breath, kicked his legs hard, and rode directly up a small slope. After descending the slope, he turned right and soon arrived at the door of Ma Liang's house.

"Xiaohai, you came just in time, help me settle the account!"

Ma Liang, wearing a ragged cotton-padded jacket, was talking to a tall man in the yard. When he saw Xu Dahai coming to the door and getting out of the car, he hurriedly greeted him.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm selling eggs."

Ma Liang was very happy that his friend came from afar. He opened the gate and said:

“带筐一共是72斤，筐子重19斤，鸡蛋卖价儿1块8毛8一斤。”

"Speak slowly and I'll hold the car in place."

After Xu Dahai propped up the car, he found a wooden stick and squatted down to write and draw on the ground.

The tall man who bought eggs also came over angrily and said with wide eyes:

“算！倒要看看咱俩谁算错了！！我说是99块6毛4，你非说是102块6毛4。”

"What are you arguing about? Let's wait until my friend has finished settling the matter." Ma Liang frowned and glanced at the man. The latter's chest heaved with anger, but he said no more.

“72减19，一共是53斤鸡蛋，再乘以1块8毛8……”

Xu Dahai quickly came up with the result:

"Ninety-nine dollars, six cents and four cents, that's it."

"Look, look, look! I'll just say it!" The tall man immediately became happy.

Ma Liang was not annoyed either, he chuckled and said:

"It turns out that I was bad at arithmetic. You know that I'm not good at arithmetic. Let's go inside and drink, and I'll make it up to you."

"Go, go, drink it another day. I have to transport the eggs to the countryside quickly. The price of eggs keeps changing every day. If the price drops, then I will lose it."

"If the price goes up, you still make money! It's the Chinese New Year, and the price of eggs will go up..."

Before Ma Liang finished speaking, the tall man waved his hands, neatly hung the two baskets of eggs on the back seat of the 28-bar, and pushed the car out:

"Forget it, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? I just need to earn some hard-earned money in a down-to-earth manner."

Ring ring ring~

After watching the man leave.

Ma Liang happily entered the house with Xu Dahai and said loudly: "Daughter-in-law, the eggs are sold for money! It's almost less than a hundred!"

"Put it away, let the sea laugh at how you show off."

Jiang Aiyun pursed her lips and smiled, her face full of sweetness. She and Ma Liang's sister Ma Qian were making new quilts on the kang together.
