Reborn In The '80s

Sister Yun’s first impression of Xu Zhao was very good. After getting along with each other in fragments these days, her impression of Xu Zhao has not diminished but increased. He is kind, gentle, active and enthusiastic, humble and polite, which is something that most young people cannot simultaneously Yes, but Xu Zhao has done it very well, especially Xu Zhaochang is extremely good-looking, and he is very pleasant to look at. He is also very good at coming, and from time to time he will bring some newly made popsicles for Sister Yun to try. , very kind to Sister Yun.

Sister Yun thought that she just recommended his popsicles to the section chief. She had recommended many merchants to the steel mill to the section chief, but no one would reciprocate like Xu Zhao.

Therefore, Sister Yun is very fond of Xu Zhao and his son. Now that I heard that Xu Zhao’s father suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, he must be short of money, so Sister Yun didn’t wait for Xu Zhao to show his face to ask for money, and asked again: “Do you want to get married early? Some popsicle money?"

Xu Zhao was grateful to Sister Yun for opening the conversation, and nodded quickly.

"How much do you plan to tie?" Sister Yun asked.

"100 yuan." Xu Zhao replied.

"Just pay 100 yuan? Is it too little?" Sister Yun thought it was quite little.

Xu Zhao thought for a while and said, "Why don't we pay 150 yuan?"

Sister Yun thought for a while and said, "How about I give you 200 yuan? Two hundred should be enough. Anyway, the final payment is your money. You can pay as much as you want, as long as it is within the final payment."

200 yuan!

That couldn't be better.

Xu Zhao hurriedly said happily, "Then thank you, Sister Yun, let's pay 200 yuan."

Sister Yun said with a smile: "You can't let me call me sister for nothing."

Then Sister Yun took Xu Zhao to the finance department of the steel factory and explained Xu Zhao's situation to the accountant. The accountant understood poverty very well, so she tried her best to report this matter to the team leader, who quickly agreed.

The accountant also happily gave Xu Zhao an application for paying the final payment in advance, and asked Xu Zhao to sign it. Then, he counted twenty pieces of RMB with a face value of ten yuan and handed them to Xu Zhao.

After Xu Zhao got the money, he first thanked the accountant and Sister Yun, then took the money, drove Xu Fan back to Cui Qingfeng's house, gave Cui Qingfeng 100 yuan, and said to Cui Qingfeng very sorry, There is no way to pay back the 200 yuan owed to him for the time being, and it may take a while.

"It's okay, it's fine if you don't pay it back." Cui Qingfeng said with a smile, but he said it from the bottom of his heart. Xu Zhao came up with ideas to make so much money online, otherwise he would have gone to the popsicle factory to get the goods and sold them in the countryside, and he would have sold them for less than 100 yuan in one summer.

"That won't work, I still have to pay it back." Xu Zhao insisted.

"That's fine, but don't worry, I'm sure I'm not in a hurry. My uncle has already prepared the money for my father's surgery, and I usually don't spend much money. By the way, why did you go there suddenly?" Is there any money for ice sticks? Is it because your dad’s medical expenses are not enough?”

Xu Zhao confessed to Cui Qingfeng, "No, I plan to build a house."

Cui Qingfeng was taken aback and asked, "Building a house?"

Xu Zhao nodded: "Yes."

"What house to build? Where to build it?"

Xu Zhao replied, "I want to build a small tile-roofed house at the intersection."

"Is it just at the small intersection in front? Are you crazy?" Cui Qingfeng immediately called out: "What's the use of building a house at the intersection, the more money you have, the more foolish you are!"

"No fuss." Xu Zhao said.

Cui Qingfeng said angrily: "You are making a fuss! You are almost out of food, look, you don't even have new clothes, what kind of house are you building? It's not like you don't have a house at home!"

Speaking of which, Cui Qingfeng still felt sorry for Xu Zhao. He wanted to buy new clothes for Xu Zhao several times, but Xu Zhao refused, and the 200 yuan was borrowed a few days ago, so he had no money to buy for Xu Zhao. Zhao himself didn't want to think about food and clothing, but now he actually wants to build a house, what a mess!

Just toss around!

Xu Zhao looked at Cui Qingfeng and said, "It's not about torturing, it's about making money."

"If you make money, you make money. What are you building a house for?"

"For better money."

"..."

Cui Qingfeng didn't understand, couldn't understand at all, what is the relationship between making money and building a house.

Xu Zhao had no choice but to explain it to Cui Qingfeng very patiently, saying that he planned to have income throughout the year, not like the popsicle business, which only had a life force of one summer, and building a house was also the result of Xu Zhao's repeated thinking. Impulsive, not tossing around, it is really for the long-term consideration of making money.

Saying this, Cui Qingfeng was a little shaken, thinking that his uncle said that it was right to let him follow Xu Zhao, so he calmed down slowly, and said in a much gentler tone, "I'm afraid you're too tired. "

Xu Zhao smiled cleanly and brightly, extremely beautifully, and said, "I'm not tired, thank you for your concern."

Cui Qingfeng instantly caught sight of Xu Zhao's good looks, which were radiant, and he lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

Xu Zhao didn't notice the difference in Cui Qingfeng. Seeing that Cui Qingfeng listened to his words, he turned to work, took out the popsicles from the popsicle molds, packed them one by one, put them in foam boxes, and tied them to the back seat of the bicycle. , Looking back at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan stared at Xu Zhao with watery eyes, as if saying "Dad, I'm going too, I'm going too".

Xu Zhao felt that the weather was too hot, and he was afraid that the prickly heat on Xu Fan's forehead would appear again. He wanted to keep Xu Fan in his heart, but Xu Fan was his son, whose surname was Xu, not Cui, so he had no reason to let him go. Others helped him look after the child, so he had to say, "Get in the car."

A healing smile immediately bloomed on Xu Fan's face, and the two faintly visible dimples at the corners of his mouth were very beautiful. He ran to Xu Zhao's legs with his short legs, raised his small arms very skillfully, and turned his back to Xu Zhao. .

Xu Zhao bent down, picked up Xu Fan with one arm, hugged Xu Fan onto the front bar of the bicycle, then stretched his long legs, stepped onto the bicycle, talked to Cui Qingfeng, and drove Xu Fan to the grain station.

There was another long queue of ox carts near the grain station, but it was no longer the same group of villagers as yesterday.

Xu Zhao stepped down from the bicycle, looked left and right, but before he could speak, Xu Fan, holding on to the handlebar, suddenly shouted: "I'm selling popsicles! Is there anyone selling popsicles? It costs three cents each! I'm selling popsicles." !"

Xu Zhao: "..." Sanwazi is so active and enthusiastic.

Xu Fan asked the old man next to him very enthusiastically, "Grandpa, can you buy my popsicles? They are delicious."

Xu Zhao: "..." San Wazi can chat with anyone.

Under Xu Fan's strong promotion, the uncle took out three cents from his pocket to buy a popsicle with a smile, sat under the tree and ate it, looking very cool and comfortable, which made the eyes of the villagers look hot. Looking eager to try, everyone was thinking that it’s only three cents anyway, it’s nothing, so some people came up to buy popsicles, and as soon as there were more people buying popsicles, other people’s herd mentality caused them to follow suit. .

After a while, Xu Zhao's popsicles were sold out. When Xu Zhao pushed the popsicles and Xu Fan walked forward, he saw Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng.

Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were sitting on the buttocks of an ox cart. Because there was no shade in the place, the two sat directly under the sun, sweating profusely from the sun, but even so, the two looked disdainful and superior Looking at Xu Zhao, they felt that it was too embarrassing for Xu Zhao to bring his children out to sell popsicles for a salary of five yuan a month. They both pretended not to know Xu Zhao and turned their faces to one side.

This was exactly what Xu Zhao wanted, but Xu Zhao ignored Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng.

When Xu Fan pointed at Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng to call uncle and second uncle, Xu Zhao covered Xu Fan's mouth and said, "They don't recognize us, and we ignore them."

Xu Fan nodded and said in a low voice, "They are bad people, they yell at grandparents."

"……Correct."

Pushing the bicycle, Xu Zhao continued to go around the food station, sold out the popsicles, and then rode back to Cui’s house to continue making popsicles. However, Xu Zhao had to go home to feed the chickens and ducks because he had to deliver lunch to Xu’s mother. So Xu Zhao didn't eat at Cui Qingfeng's house, but drove Xu Fan back to Nanwan Village. Cui's mother couldn't stay, so she gave Xu Zhao two bags of dried noodles, saying that a colleague's family was going to open a dried noodle factory, and gave her a taste , no money.

Definitely need money, but not less.

Xu Zhao wanted to refuse, but he couldn't refuse, so he took two packs of dried noodles back to Nanwan Village, ordered a handful of noodles, filled a large bowl, brought them to Dazhuang's home, and gave them to Dazhuang's family.

This is a whole bowl of white noodles. Dazhuang's parents and Dazhuang's mother accepted it flatteringly, and then used a small bowl to mix two bowls of noodles, so that Xu Fan and Dazhuang, two little guys, squatted in front of the small stool, one by one with their hands. Pinch the noodles to eat.

Xu Fan said: "Da Zhuang, these are my noodles. My father made them. Isn't it delicious?"

Dazhuang said, "It's delicious."

Xu Zhao smiled when he heard the words, and turned to talk to Dazhuang's father about building a house in the county.

Dazhuang's father has the diligence, sincerity and simplicity of rural people. He just talked to Xu Zhao about building a house yesterday. This morning he went to the next village to inquire about the wages and brick prices, and also helped Xu Zhao suppress some of them. The price indicates that 100 yuan can build the house, but everyone's busy farming has not yet completely ended, so the house may be built slowly, and it will take about a week to build.

"One week is fine, I'm not in a hurry." Xu Zhao said, "Thank you, Brother Li."

"You're welcome, didn't you pay me back my wages?" Dazhuang's father said with a smile.

"That salary is too little." Xu Zhao said shyly.

"A lot, a lot." Dazhuang's father said: "I am going to prepare today, and tomorrow we will take a shovel and a big ram to lay the foundation."

"Okay, thank you Brother Li." Xu Zhao hesitated and said, "However, Brother Li, I have to trouble you with one thing."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Dazhuang's father said.

"It's about me building the house. Don't tell my two elder brothers. If they really want to ask, you can say that it was built for my classmates, and don't say that I built it." Otherwise, Xu Zhao is now In this case, my father had a stroke, my mother was worried, and there was a oil bottle. I was so busy every day that my feet didn't touch the ground, I didn't have time to deal with Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng.

Of course, the entire Nanwan Village knew that Xu Zhao, Xu Zuocheng, and Xu Youcheng were at odds, and they all knew that Xu Zhao, Xu Zuocheng, and Xu Youcheng were half-brothers. son.

Dazhuang's father also thinks so, so he thinks that Xu Zhao has money to build a house, and Xu's mother secretly saved it. Why did Xu Zhao have so much money, but simply said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell, and I will tell other people that this is your classmate's house."

Xu Zhao said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Li."

Dazhuang's mother continued: "Xu Zhao, I think you were stupid in school, and you are usually gentle and gentle. Now you are thankful for keeping your mouth shut in front of us. You don't see the outside world."

Dazhuang's father turned around and said to Dazhuang's mother: "You are so stupid, what do you know, this is called a cultural person, this is civilized behavior."

Be civilized!Look at the word used!

Dazhuang's mother immediately refuted Dazhuang's father: "I don't understand, but you understand. Don't forget, you haven't even finished the third grade of elementary school."

"Just hello, haven't you been in the fourth grade of elementary school?"

"What happened to the fourth grade of elementary school? I know that 72% is equal to [-], and I will not be equal to seventy."

"I made a mistake that time, I know it is equal to 72!"

"..."

Xu Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard Dazhuang's parents quarreling. When the two of them calmed down, Xu Zhao took Xu Fan away from Dazhuang's house. When he returned home, he mixed some boiled water with the lumpy noodles and sat in front of the kitchen to eat. He opened his mouth and said to Xu Fan, "Xu Fan, go and feed the chickens and ducks."

Xu Fan acted immediately, closed the courtyard door skillfully, and took off the two chicken covers. After the chickens and ducks were released, he hurried to the kitchen to catch the chaff. Sprinkle it in front of the chickens and ducks, and continue running to the kitchen to catch them. After catching them several times, let the chickens and ducks eat there by themselves, while he stood in front of Xu Zhao with his bulging belly, watching Xu Zhao eat. Noodles, Xiaozui couldn't help but chirp twice.

Xu Zhao: "..."

"Dad." Xu Fan called.

Xu Zhao asked, "What are you doing?"

Xu Fan said, "White noodles are delicious."

"Yeah." Xu Zhao continued to eat noodles with his head down while holding the bowl.

Xu Fan said: "I have eaten with Dazhuang."

Xu Zhao replied, "Yes, I know."

"But Dazhuang said, said, said, he still wants to eat." Xu Fan said.

Dazhuang was sold again!Dazhuang sells Xu Fan one hundred times a day, and Xu Fan sells Dazhuang one hundred and one times. It is puzzling that these two little guys can still be the best friends in the whole village.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan and asked, "You still want to eat?"

Xu Fan wanted to refute, but felt that he really wanted to eat, and said, "Well, I want to eat too."

"Walk in front of me." Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan took another two steps closer to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao touched Xu Fan's swollen belly with chopsticks, and said, "Look, your stomach is getting bigger."

But Xu Zhao still ate a mouthful by himself, and then fed Xu Fan another mouthful, Xu Fan ate with satisfaction.

After eating, the father and son tidied up the small yard together, locked all the doors, then went to the hospital, accompanied Xu's father and Xu's mother, and then went to Cui Qingfeng's house, brought popsicles to the intersection, Cui Qingfeng sold popsicles .

Xu Zhao borrowed a shovel and began to fill up a small pothole at the intersection, just in time for Dazhuang's father and the others to lay the foundation for the house.

While I was writing, I suddenly heard someone shout: "Xu Zhao."

Hearing this, Xu Zhao raised his head, saw the person coming, and then was slightly taken aback.
