Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

night.

It rains like rain.

After returning home, Xu Dahai felt that the mud on the soles of his feet was probably several kilograms thick.

Click~click click~

Wang Xiuxiu pulled the light cord a few times and found that the bulb did not light up, so she couldn't help but say:

"Isn't there a power outage?"

"Maybe so. The candle is in the second drawer of the kangqin. I'll get it."

Under the light of the flashlight, Xu Dahai took the candle and lit it, filling the room with gentle light.

Wrap a few circles of newspaper around the base of the candle, and then stick it on the mouth of the wine bottle. The wine bottle becomes the base and is placed firmly on the Kang table.

By candlelight.

Wang Xiuxiu was sewing the soles. The soles were too hard. It was difficult to push them with a thimble and pull them with pliers. Every stitch was very laborious.

Xu Dahai sat cross-legged next to him, reading the newspaper, occasionally picking up the teacup and sipping black tea, and Xiao Tingzi was lying next to the cat, petting its head and pinching its ears.

Silently laughing.

Swish, swish, swish~

The sound of wind, rain and thunder outside the window are intertwined, noisy and chaotic, and those who listen feel chilled in their hearts.

Wow~

After a while, Xu Dahai read the People's Daily for the past week and then read the provincial newspaper.

Xiao Tingzi suddenly raised her head and said, "Mom, I want to watch TV."

"It's thundering, so you can't turn on the TV."

"Listen carefully, it seems there will be no thunder now."

Xu Dahai raised his head, looked at the mother and daughter and said with a smile: "What are you two talking about? You two have no electricity, so why are you watching TV?"

Wang Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, and then she started laughing. Little Tingzi also laughed too. Only the big fat cat didn't know why and rolled on the kang.

"Look at my head, I'm only thinking about the thunder, and I forgot about the power outage."

It was a small thing at first, but with the laughter, the atmosphere in the house became relaxed, cheerful and lively, even covering up the sound of wind and rain outside.

Around nine o'clock in the night, I laid out the kang and slept.

After Xiao Tingzi fell asleep, the young couple had a good time "exercising". After that, Xu Dahai hugged Wang Xiuxiu's plump and tight body and fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

"Chirp chirp~"

Dangdang ~

A beautiful kingfisher stood on the sill outside the window, jumping around, not only chirping, but also pecking at the window with its sharp beak.

Not only the people inside the house were awakened.

The big fat cat lying on the quilt also woke up and stared dissatisfied at the kingfisher outside the window with a faint look - you stupid bird, you have a way to die!

"Six-thirty. This little fish is really on time every day. Get up."

Wang Xiuxiu was the first to get up and wash up. After being moisturized, her face was radiant and full of energy:

"You two, get up quickly. The heavy rain has stopped and a lot of cherries have fallen."

When the two men got dressed and came to the courtyard, there were indeed many leaves scattered under the cherry tree, as well as small, watery, dark red cherries.

The air is cool and humid.

The sun has just emerged, but there are still a few remaining stars hanging in the western sky.

The ducks from Xu Ercai's house next door kept quacking "quack, quack, quack," and the sound floated in the morning breeze. The whole village seemed to be immersed in a half-dream.

"Stop picking things off the ground and eat them off the trees."

Xu Dahai grabbed Xiao Tingzi who was trying to pick up the cherries on the ground. He quickly picked up a handful of cherries and handed them to her.

"Sweet!"

Xiao Tingzi ate one, and her eyes were shining.

The cherries grown from the cherry tree in your yard seem to taste sweeter.

"Don't eat them one by one, cover your mouth with a handful, it will taste better this way."

The branches swayed, Xu Dahai stroked some more, and ate a handful himself. It tasted really good.

He took the remaining cherries into the house and gave them to Wang Xiuxiu, who was cooking in an apron and wearing an apron, and the latter also said they were sweet.

Had breakfast.

Xu Dahai took Xiao Tingzi and the dogs to his grandfather's yard to sit for a while.

At about half past nine, after leaving her grandfather's house and walking east, passing by the door of Xu Erniu's house, Xiao Tingzi said in surprise:

"Daddy, white cherries!"

"Huh? Indeed."

Xu Dahai saw Er Niu weaving a net in the yard and shouted with a smile:

"Er Niu, let me pick some cherries!"

"Pick it, pick as much as you want!"

Xu Erniu stood up quickly and saw Xu Dahai and his daughter, with a simple smile on his face.

The cherry tree is a tall and thin tree with a crooked neck and not many branches. The small cherries on it are indeed white.

As for why it is white?

Xu Dahai didn't understand either. It might be a mutated variety. Small white cherries are relatively rare.

wow~

Xu Dahai picked up two handfuls of cherries and handed them both to Xiao Tingzi. He pulled another branch and was about to pick up the third handful when the latter quickly shouted:

"Dad, foreign hottie!"

"what?"

Xu Dahai quickly looked carefully, oh! There are five or six chili seeds lying on this branch, which are similar in color to the leaves and are still squirming.

He quickly spread the branches, pulled another branch on the right, and checked it. After finding no chili peppers, he started to pick the cherries.

"There are a lot of cherries on this tree. A few children were picking cherries here to eat at noon a few days ago.

I don’t know how they fixed it, but the foreign spicy food fell on the back of their hands, which made them cry in pain. "

Xu Erniu walked out of the courtyard, still holding a net bag in his hand:

"At that time, I thought they were fighting, and I came out to break up the fight."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Erniu couldn't help but scratch his head and laughed again.

Xu Dahai ate a handful of white cherries and laughed, then pointed at the net bag in his hand:

"What are you trying to catch by weaving a net bag?"

"Catch the big tobacco leaves! I found two or three holes, but the net bag was not enough, so I didn't dare to start."

Big tobacco leaf - refers to sable, which looks like a mature big tobacco leaf in autumn.

The three treasures of the Northeast: ginseng, mink, and one of the uralensis.

Of course, in recent years, "Ula grass" has also been replaced by "antler", and the three treasures of the Northeast are: ginseng, mink, and deer antler.

"Okay, if you want to catch Big Tobacco Leaf one day, call me and come with you.

I didn't want anything, I just wanted to follow him and take a look. Anyway, I had nothing to do. "

Xu Dahai immediately became interested.

However, the Sable Cave was discovered by Erniu, and the net bag was also prepared by the latter. Naturally, Xu Dahai had to strictly refuse anything to avoid misunderstanding.

Erniu was simple-minded and agreed with a smile.

Xu Dahai picked up some more white cherries and planned to take them back for Xiu Xiu to taste.

After he and Xiao Tingzi left together.

Erniu's father, Xu Shichao, walked out of the house wearing a coat and pulling on his shoes while smoking a cigarette.

"Er Niu, what did Houtian'er's son say to you?"

He had long heard the conversation between Xu Erniu and Xu Dahai, but the yard was large and they were separated by a window, so he couldn't hear the specific content clearly.

of course.

He deliberately didn't come out, so that his somewhat stupid son could have more contact with the village, which could be regarded as a kind of exercise - after a hundred years, his son would be able to live a better life alone.

Xu Erniu roughly said what Xu Dahai said.

Xu Shichao thought for a while, moved his beard to both sides, and said with a smile:

"If he wants to go there, take him there. Since he said in advance that he doesn't want tobacco leaves, there's no problem. Atsuda's son's character is pretty good."
