Reborn In The '80s

"Father, the eldest son is crying." Xu Fan recognized Xu eldest son's voice.

"En." Xu Zhao responded.

"Why are you crying, baby?"

"I don't know, leave him alone, come here and wash your hands."

Xu Zhao put away more than 300 yuan, dragged Xu Fan to squat next to the porcelain basin, washed his hands with fragrant soap, and ate dinner together in front of the chopping board.

During the period, there was constant noise from the neighbors, but it didn't affect Xu Zhao at all, and Xu Zhao didn't allow Xu's parents and Xu's mother to do anything, so as not to fall into Xu Zuocheng's tricks.

It wasn't until the dinner was over that the neighbors finally calmed down, so Xu Zhao took a bath for Xu Fan. Before, he could bathe Xu Fan in the yard, but now that it was cold, he had to take Xu Fan, who was sitting in a tub, to the hut to wash.

"Father, don't cry anymore." Xu Fan said while supporting the edge of the basin with his small hand.

"En." Xu Zhao responded.

"dad."

"Don't talk, don't move, just take a shower."

"dad."

"Still talking."

"dad."

"..." Xu Zhao was not polite to Xu Fan, and directly tickled Xu Fan, making Xu Fan giggle non-stop, until he was on the bed, and said mischievously, "Dad, come, dad, come, scratch" .

Scratch your head!

Xu Zhao directly put Xu Fan, who was wearing a tattered bellyband, on Xu's mother's bed, then took a bath by himself, then washed clothes in the yard, and washed Cui Dingchen's handkerchief by the way.

After washing, he sat in the yard and meditated. It was already autumn. Although Nanwan Village was hot in the daytime, it was cool in the morning and evening. The popsicle business stopped a week ago, and his income would be cut by more than half in the future, but he still had accumulated contacts. I have to stop selling popsicles and moon cakes, so I lost this market. Just thinking about it, a small milk cavity came from the hut.

"father!"

It was Xu Fan again.

"father!"

"What?"

"You come."

"What are you doing here?"

"Come and hug me to sleep."

"..."

This, this is really a sweet burden. Xu Zhao got up and walked into Xu's father and Xu's mother's hut, and carried Xu Fan out wearing a ripped bellyband. Fan immediately hugged Xu Zhao tightly.

Xu Zhao hurriedly carried Xu Fan into the hut, and when he was lying on the bed, he heard the wind whistling outside the window, and felt the breath of autumn, it was time to buy new clothes and quilts.

So the next morning, after breakfast, Xu Zhao brought not only Xu Fan, but also Xu's father and Xu's mother. Come to Cui's house together.

Mother Cui hadn't seen Xu Fan for half a month, so she quickly hugged Xu Fan in her arms and gave Xu Fan something to eat.

Xu Fan chatted with Cui's mother while eating.

Cui's mother looked kindly and asked: "San Wazi, do you miss Grandma Cui?"

Xu Fan replied, "I think about it."

"What do you miss about Grandma Cui?"

"I miss Grandma Cui... I miss... I can't remember."

After hearing this, Mother Cui burst out laughing, put her arms around Xu Fan and kissed him affectionately.

Cui Qingfeng laughed after hearing this.

Xu Zhao ignored Xu Fan and followed Cui Qingfeng into the main room. Just after he entered, Cui Dingchen came out from the west wing wearing a white shirt.

Cui Qingfeng asked suspiciously: "Uncle, why haven't you gone to work yet? You usually left early, what happened today?"

Cui Dingchen said blankly: "Let's go now."

"Are you coming back for lunch?"

"It depends, I'm a bit busy today."

Cui Qingfeng said: "Then if you come back, call ahead."

"Understood." Cui Dingchen turned his gaze to Xu Zhao, then nodded in greeting, and then left.

Xu Zhao turned to Cui Qingfeng, first discussed with Cui Qingfeng about Lao Liu's salary, then gave Lao Liu's salary to Cui Qingfeng, and asked Cui Qingfeng to hand it over to Cui Dingchen.

Then Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng calculated the income of these days, half of the income of the small shop, the Mid-Autumn Festival wages, and the 200 yuan owed before, a total of 420 cents, and they were handed over to Cui Qingfeng.

Cui Qingfeng was not pretentious, and accepted it. However, he also knew that except for the popsicle business, which was a partnership with Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao was really in charge of other aspects, so he could no longer divide the business of Fan Xiaodian with Xu Zhao. , His role is really not that big, it's just a contribution, no matter how much Xu Zhao persuades, he can't take advantage of Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao looked at Cui Qingfeng suspiciously and asked, "Why do you have the idea of ​​taking advantage?"

Cui Qingfeng laughed and said, "It's not what I thought."

"Who is that?"

"My dad, my dad said that brothers and sisters should settle accounts clearly, and people should be self-aware."

"Your father was right."

"Of course, otherwise, how could my uncle and I be educated so well?"

Xu Zhao nodded with a smile. It is true that Cui Qingfeng and Cui Dingchen are both excellent, both in appearance and in thought, especially Cui Dingchen, who is definitely worthy of the word "excellent".

"However." Cui Qingfeng changed the subject and said, "If you have any good ideas and need to contribute, I can help you at any time and earn some income."

"Okay." Xu Zhao agreed.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"Go shopping for clothes."

"Buying clothes?" Cui Qingfeng immediately thought seriously.

Xu Zhao said, "It's autumn, and I want to buy clothes and quilts for my whole family."

"……So this is ah."

"Well, about the business, I'll think about it again, and I'll talk to you when I think about it."

"Okay then, I'll help you look at Fan's shop, you guys go shopping for clothes."

After the accounts were cleared, Xu Zhao carried Xu Fan to Fan Xiaodian, and then went to the central street of the county with Xu's mother to buy clothes. Father's clothes, saying that there are clothes to wear, after the final negotiation, Xu's mother wants to buy cloth, saying that she can just go home and make it herself.

Xu Zhao couldn't resist Xu's mother, so he agreed.

Then Xu Zhao took Xu Fan and bought two more quilts, cotton wadding, a men's coat, a thermos bottle, quilt cover, corduroy fabric, a pair of leather shoes, a pair of Jiefang shoes, a radio, a row of batteries, and a brand new [-] Xu’s mother kept saying don’t buy this or that while shopping, but Xu Zhao bought all of them, and told Xu’s mother clearly that everything in it is very useful, really not Randomly bought.

"What's the use of the radio?" Mother Xu asked.

"Listen to the weather forecast," Xu Zhao said.

"Where's the bicycle?"

"You can't always ride Aomine's."

Mother Xu has nothing to say.

As a result, after buying these things, Xu Zhao still bought vegetables and meat, which made the ox cart full. In order to prevent Xu Zuocheng and the others from becoming greedy when they saw so many things on the ox cart, Xu Zhao did not go home immediately. , but stayed in Fan Xiaodian until dark, and then Xu Zhao asked Xu's father and Xu Fan to sit on the bullock cart, and he and Xu's mother pushed it together.

The wind in the autumn night, with its refreshing coolness, makes people feel at ease. With family members in their company, even if the surroundings are dark, he doesn’t feel lonely. Xu Zhao is in a very happy mood.

At this time, Xu's mother couldn't help but said with emotion: "The country is so good!"

Xu Zhao smiled and asked, "Mom, why do you suddenly feel sorry for the country?"

"The country allows me to live a good life."

"Well, there must be a country first and then money."

Xu's mother said happily: "And this year, soybeans will not be handed over to the government."

"Don't pay the public rations for soybeans?" Xu Zhao was also quite surprised.

Xu's mother smiled and said: "Yes, look at how happy people in and out of the city are this year. They have started to spend money extravagantly, but they are willing to buy vegetables. I guess they are taking advantage of the good harvest to eat quickly, and they won't be able to eat in winter. "

Xu Zhao asked suspiciously, "Why can't you eat in winter?"

Xu's mother said: "Look at you, don't you know what you ate last winter? Isn't it pickled vegetables and steamed corn bread, what other vegetables are there to eat, there is no food."

No food——

No food——

This sentence has been echoing in Xu Zhao's mind. Yes, there is no food in winter, yes, there is no food in winter here. Xu Zhao suddenly became a little excited. Mother Xu couldn't tell.

So when he got home, he quickly found his little notebook, wrote down his thoughts and ideas, and even drew a picture, and connected it with the house he was going to build. Then he took the drawing to Dazhuang's father .

Before looking for Dazhuang's father, he thought of a piece of pork he had bought for Dazhuang's father, so he went to the kitchen and took it out. Just as he was about to step out of the courtyard, Xu Fan thumped to follow him, and put his little arms up for Xu Zhao to hug.

Xu Zhao had no choice but to carry Xu Fan to Dazhuang's house. He didn't expect that Dazhuang's house had guests, but it seemed that the conversation was over and the guests left. Xu Zhao handed the pork to Dazhuang's mother, and after some pushing and shoving, Xu Zhao got away and came to Dazhuang's father. Before the bed, seeing Dazhuang's father frowning, looking preoccupied, he was a little puzzled.

"Brother Li, is there something uncomfortable?" Xu Zhao asked.

"I feel uncomfortable." Dazhuang's mother answered.

"what happened?"

Dazhuang's mother said: "There is no way to go out to make money, so I am worried."

Xu Zhao asked, "Why go out to make money?"

Dazhuang's mother immediately explained to Xu Zhao that a relative of hers went out to work for half a year and earned nearly 200 yuan. This time when she came back on August [-]th, she said that the factory was still short of people and that she could bring ten people to work. I rushed to go, but for the sake of relatives, I found Dazhuang's father, and Dazhuang's father wanted to go.

But Dazhuang’s father was injured this time, aside from the injury, Dazhuang’s mother still has a big belly, Dazhuang’s grandparents are old, he can’t walk away, can’t make money, and is sulking.

After hearing this, Xu Zhao looked at Dazhuang's father and said, "Brother Li, don't you know how to build a house? Building a house can also make money, and you don't have to go to other places."

Dazhuang's father said: "There is no one who builds a house every day and doesn't make much money. It will be winter soon. It will be Chinese New Year. Your sister-in-law will have a baby after the next year, and Dazhuang will have to go to school later. You need money everywhere. If you don't Earn some money, life is not easy."

Xu Zhao pondered, and said, "Brother Li, if you don't mind, build a house for my family, why don't you follow me?"

Dazhuang's father was taken aback, and asked, "Follow you, what are you doing?"

Xu Zhao looked at Dazhuang's father, spoke clearly, and said, "Grow vegetables."
