Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

Xu's mother asked, "Do you really want to borrow it?"

"Yes, I must borrow it!"

Xu Qing nodded.

Xu's mother asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said: "The disaster relief food will definitely be allocated within half a month. Let's lend it to the third sister-in-law's family thirty kilograms of wheat and save on eating. It should be enough for their family for ten days and a half. "

"Thirty pounds..."

Xu's mother looked pained.

There is not much food at home. If we borrow another thirty kilograms, we may really go hungry before the autumn harvest.

Father Xu's expression also changed slightly.

He glanced at the third sister-in-law and said nothing. If he refused at this time, the third wife's wife would definitely hate him for the rest of her life.

Xu Qing said: "Mom, thirty kilograms is not much. Besides, this is a loan or not a gift. I believe that the third sister-in-law's family will not give up their face for these thirty kilograms of wheat."

"Little sister, thank you, thank you very much!"

The third sister-in-law looked at Xu Qing with a grateful face.

Thinking of how she often made things difficult for Xu Qing in the past, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

In the end, Xu's mother nodded and agreed under Xu Qing's insistence. Xu's father remained silent, neither refusing nor agreeing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

The matter of borrowing food is far from over.

After dinner.

The second sister-in-law hesitated and found Xu Qing.

After a moment.

Only then did Xu Qing figure it out.

The second sister-in-law also borrowed food for her parents' family.

The second sister-in-law's natal family is not in Hongqi Village or Daxing Village, but in another village. The disaster this time was also extremely serious.

The second sister-in-law rarely talks on weekdays and works hard in this family without complaining. Unlike the third sister-in-law who often makes things difficult for Xu Qing, she always rushes to do any work. Xu Qing's impression of the second sister-in-law is much better than that of the third sister-in-law.

Since he lent thirty kilograms of wheat to his third sister-in-law's family, he couldn't favor one thing over another. Xu Qing went to Xu's mother, and after some earnest persuasion, Xu's mother finally agreed.

Day two.

Before dawn.

Xu Qing was woken up by the sound outside.

When I came out, I saw that the second brother and the third brother had finished washing. They had two bags of wheat piled on the cart and were ready to go.

When the second brother saw Xu Qing coming out of the house, he immediately urged: "Little sister, hurry up and wash up. We are leaving, otherwise we won't be able to come back before dark."

Hongqi Village is fifty or sixty miles away from the county seat, and the roads are mostly mountainous. When villagers enter the city, they leave before dawn in the morning, and cannot return to the village until the sun sets in the evening. If something is delayed in the meantime, it may be late at night before returning to the village. Clicked.

Xu Qing rushed to wash up.

"Qing'er, take this money and buy whatever you like when you get to the city."

Xu's mother secretly gave Xu Qing a torn handkerchief. The handkerchief contained a few banknotes, which totaled one dollar and seventy-five cents, and a few food stamps. The face value of the food stamps was not large.

Xu Qing did not refuse and took the money. She had no money. After entering the city, if it was time to use money, she would not be able to do it without money.

"Second brother, third brother, let's go."

Xu Qing said.

A group of three people pushed the trolley out of Xu's house under the moonlight and walked towards the city.

The cart is mainly pushed by the second brother and the third brother in turns.

The group of three people walked slowly and leisurely on the rugged mountain road. Unknowingly, the sun rose in the east and it was broad daylight.

"Second brother and third brother, we have been walking for more than an hour at a stretch, and we are all tired. Let's rest under the willow tree in front of us for a while before leaving."

Xu Qing wiped the sweat from her face, looked up at her second brother and third brother. They were both tired, their faces were covered with sweat, and she immediately suggested something.

"Okay, take a break."

The three of them sat under the willow tree and rested.

Now that we have entered July, the weather is sultry and hot. Even if we exercise a little, our whole body will be covered in sweat.

Xu Qing used her hands as a fan and kept fanning herself. While resting, she looked around at the world that had not been polluted by industry.

The sky is blue, the mountains are green, and the water is green.

The air is clear.

Xu Qing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Satisfy!

A world that has not been polluted by industry would be great!

Who would have thought that in just three to forty years, China's sky would no longer be blue, its water would no longer be green, and its mountains would no longer be green?

Xu Qing, who traveled from a later life, cherishes the scene of blue sky, green mountains and green water in front of her, because she knows that after entering the 21st century, these will gradually fade away.

"Hey~ Second brother, third brother, what is that person doing?"

Xu Qing suddenly saw an old man standing by the river not far away.

Hearing Xu Qing's words, the third brother stood up, looked in that direction, and then said, "That old man is most likely fishing in the river."

"Fishing?"

Xu Qing's eyes lit up, "Second brother and third brother, you continue to rest here, I will go over and take a look."

Xu Qing stood up and ran quickly towards the old man who was fishing.

The third brother guessed correctly.

The old man is indeed fishing.

"Old man, did you catch any fish?"

Xu Qing smiled and asked curiously.

When the old fishing man saw someone coming, and she was a little girl, he forced a smile on his face, "I caught some, little girl, which village are you from?"

"I'm from Hongqi Village."

Xu Qing said, walked forward and looked into the fish basket. There were quite a lot of fish. Half of the basket was filled with fish, grass carp, crucian carp, and a black fish.

"Ah, old man, you are really good, you have caught a lot of people." Xu Qing said with admiration.

"Haha~ I am forced by life."

The old fishing man shook his head, with a sad look on his face. He was from a nearby village. This year's wheat production was severely reduced. The wheat he received was not much, and it was not enough to eat. In desperation, he had no choice but to go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and go down to the river. Catch some fish and shrimp.

"By the way, little girl, Hongqi Village is more than ten miles away from here. Do you want to enter the city?"

asked the fishing old man.

"Well, let's go into the city and deliver wheat to my brother and sister-in-law."

Xu Qing said.

The old fishing man looked at Xu Qing in surprise, "What village did you just say you were from?"

Xu Qing said: "Hongqi Village."

"Hongqi Village, Hongqi Village, I remembered it. Among the nearby villages this year, Hongqi Village seems to have suffered the least loss. I heard that your village predicted the heavy rain and started harvesting in advance, which saved a lot of losses."

The old fishing man looked at Xu Qing with envy.

Life in Hongqi Village is really good this year. Don’t go hungry. Unlike him, he still has to go to the river to fish when he is so old, but then again, fish can’t be eaten.

At this time, there is a lack of condiments, and the cooked fish has a fishy smell. It is okay to eat it occasionally. If you eat fish as a meal, you will really be miserable. This is why there were so many fish and shrimps in the river that no one would eat them. One of the main reasons.

While the old fishing man was talking with Xu Qing, he arranged the fishing net, then with a whoosh, he threw the net into the river, and then slowly pulled the net.

Xu Qing jumped to look and saw fish beginning to swim under the river water. As the fishing net was gradually pulled up, one fish after another was pulled up.

There are both grass carp and crucian carp.

I went down with the net and caught quite a few.

"Yeah, old man, look, there's a turtle here, hurry, catch it, don't let it escape."

Xu Qing suddenly pointed at a turtle-like guy in the fishing net and shouted.
