Reborn In The '80s

It's Xu's mother.

Xu's mother was wearing gray and old clothes, walking towards this side sweating profusely.

Various possible events about Xu's father immediately appeared in Xu Zhao's mind, such as the aggravation of his illness, such as the declaration of paralysis, such as... Xu Zhao did not dare to continue thinking, and his body and mind tensed up.

But things turned out to be just the opposite, because Xu's mother brought good news. In the afternoon, Xu's father was in good condition and felt every part of his body, so the doctor said that the hospital stay would be shortened. If there were no accidents during the hospital stay, wouldn't it? will be paralyzed.

Xu's mother came here on purpose to tell her son to be at ease and not to work so hard. She didn't expect to see Xu's son and grandson still busy in the hot weather, especially his grandson, who was so young, helping to sell popsicles , the eye circles couldn't help but turned red, looking straight at Xu Fan whose face was fleshy and his body was beginning to become fleshy, and said distressedly: "Our third child has lost weight."

Sanwazi lost weight?Are you thin?

Where did Xu's mother see it?

Xu Zhao stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat consciously, and told the truth: "Mom, you three children have gained six catties."

Xu's mother was taken aback and asked, "Are you fat? Why do I look thinner?"

Xu Zhao said: "I'm getting fat, even my double chin is coming out."

"Why didn't I see it?"

"It's estimated that your third child will become a piglet after eating, and you also think he has lost weight."

"You're talking nonsense." Mother Xu said with a smile.

"..."

Xu's mother hugged Xu Fan for a long time, kissing and kissing Xu Fan's fleshy little face, before leaving, she took out half an apple from the cloth bag and handed it to Xu Zhao, letting Xu Zhao and Xu Fan share it.

Due to the oxidation of the apple, a layer of light yellow has appeared on the flesh. This must have been given to Xu's mother by someone else. Xu's mother was not willing to eat it, so she brought it all the way for him and Xu Fan to eat. Xu Zhao's heart was wet when he thought about it. Also followed by sour.

"Dad." Xu Fan called.

Xu Zhao looked down at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan said, "Grandma is going."

Xu Zhao gave a soft "hmm", looked at the back of Xu's mother leaving, and hurriedly sent half an apple to Xu's mother. He felt that all his hard work was worth it.

Xu Fan kept his mouth shut and said, "I don't want grandma to leave."

Xu Zhao asked, "I want to stay with grandma."

"Well, I want to eat and sleep with my grandparents."

"Wait a little longer. When Dad earns money, he will take his grandparents home."

"Okay." Xu Fan was easily pleased.

Xu Zhao glanced at Xu Fan's hand and said, "Then eat the apple quickly, and let's continue working."

Xu Fan immediately handed the apple to Xu Zhao and said, "Father eats too."

"Father doesn't eat, you eat by yourself."

"Dad eat."

Xu Zhao was forced to take a bite of the apple, and picked up the shovel again to fill the potholed ground. He was happy because Xu's father's health improved, and felt distressed because of Xu's mother's loving behavior. He turned to look at Xu Fan with a happy face. He ate half a small apple with relish, and felt sad again.

In the end, these three emotions were silently transformed into the motivation for his struggle.

After filling the soil and selling the popsicles, he temporarily asked Cui Qingfeng to take Xu Fan with him for a while. Hundreds of bricks, wood, and a little wheat straw were all loaded into a bullock cart and pulled to the intersection of the county town, waiting for Dazhuang's father and others to build the house.

I had already negotiated with Dazhuang’s father in advance that it would cost 100 yuan to build a tile-roofed house, but the next day Dazhuang’s father brought four middle-aged men over to look at the area of ​​the intersection, and they said that 100 yuan would definitely not be able to build it. A house, even if it is built with 500 walls, the foundation and four walls will cost at least 200 yuan of bricks, and the tiles will be counted. Without labor costs, it will cost more than 100 yuan. How can it be built with [-] yuan? good.

This is different from what was previously agreed upon.

It is obviously not keeping promises!

Dazhuang's father immediately quarreled with four other middle-aged men, saying that these four middle-aged men blackmailed him, said that these four middle-aged men did not give him face, that Xu Zhao was his big brother, and 100 yuan was used to build a small house. Why is the house not working? In short, it became noisy and attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Seeing this, Xu Zhao quickly stopped and comforted Dazhuang's father.

Finally, after some negotiation, it was decided to build 150 walls and three walls, and use wood and wheat straw instead of tiles, plus labor costs, all of which came to [-] yuan, so that everyone stopped quarreling and started laying foundations and mixing mud. , building walls, etc. to enter the state of building a house.

During this period, Xu Zhao didn't treat the four men differently because of the previous unhappiness. On the contrary, Xu Zhao was very polite. In addition to providing tea, he also provided popsicles and occasional pancakes every day.

A week later, a small tile-roofed house at the intersection was completed. The agreed three walls turned out to be four walls, but the doors and windows were relatively large, which made it especially suitable for business.

Xu Zhao asked in surprise: "Brother Li, didn't you agree to have three walls? Why did it become four walls again? Did you say good things for me again?"

Dazhuang's father said: "Whoever said good things for you, you helped yourself."

Xu Zhao asked, "How?"

Dazhuang's father said: "You greet each other with one or two popsicles a day. Everyone is clear in their hearts. They are not bad people. How can they keep taking advantage of others, so everyone thinks that they should take less wages , I can’t make it impossible for you to install the door, so I have built the front wall and the side door for you, it’s not worth the money, so don’t worry.”

Xu Zhao shouted gratefully, "Brother Li."

Dazhuang's father immediately laughed and said, "Don't be so nasty, I can't stand it."

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll treat you to a meal."

Dazhuang's father said: "Pull it down, I know you are poor, and I will invite you when you have money."

"Thank you Brother Li."

"Come again."

Xu Zhao added, "Thank you, Brother Li."

"Thank you again, but I really believe your sister-in-law's words, I think you are stupid in studying."

Xu Zhao laughed immediately.

Dazhuang's father carried a shovel, a mud bag, and four middle-aged men each ate a popsicle and walked towards the intersection of Nanwan Village.

Xu Zhao turned around and quickly opened the side door to take a look at the new house. As Xu Zhao requested, there were large windows on the front and the door was on the side wall, so the lighting was particularly good.

However, because the [-]th wall is not made of cement, but clay, so the whole house is full of clay and wheat bran. Xu Zhao immediately cleaned it up with a shovel and broom, and then went to Cui Qingfeng's house to take Cui Qingfeng, Xu Van took it and took a look at the new house.

"Wow!" Xu Fan said.

"Wow." Cui Qingfeng deliberately imitated Xu Fan.

Xu Fan turned his head and asked, "Dad! Is this our house?"

Xu Zhao said, "Yes."

"It's so big, it's so beautiful!" Xu Fan said happily.

"..." It's so small, even the walls are exposed bricks, okay?Where does it look good?However, compared to the thatched hut where he and Xu Fan slept, this room was almost like a Forbidden City.

"Father, will we live here from now on?" Xu Fan said.

"Not for the time being," Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan asked, "Why?"

Xu Zhao asked back, "There is nothing here, are you waiting to starve to death here?"

Xu Fan tilted his head and said, "We can eat popsicles."

Xu Zhao asked: "Okay, you live here, I will give you popsicles every day, no meat, okay?"

Xu Fan quickly said, "No."

"Why doesn't it work again?"

"I want to live with my dad."

"Then I don't live here."

"Then I can't live." Xu Fan walked over and hugged Xu Zhao's leg.

Also learned to act like a baby!

Xu Zhao smiled softly, reached out to touch Xu Fan's head, looked at Cui Qingfeng and said, "I owe you 250 yuan." The extra 50 yuan for building the house was borrowed from Cui Qingfeng, otherwise he would have no money Paid Xu's father's medical expenses.

Cui Qingfeng laughed and said, "What are you talking about, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to earn 250 yuan, right? And I still have money in my hand, don't worry, when you have money, pay it back."

Xu Zhao said sincerely: "Thank you Qingfeng, I feel very lucky to have you as a friend."

Cui Qingfeng lowered his head shyly, and wanted to say that he didn't want to be friends, but wanted to be a lover, but Xu Zhao was too good, so he couldn't say it for a while, so he could only answer: "Between friends, don't talk about strangers."

Xu Zhao said, "Okay, then let's start selling popsicles all day tomorrow."

Cui Qingfeng asked: "Tomorrow will start selling all day?"

Xu Zhao said, "Well, here is the whole box of popsicles. Either you or I will sell it, how about it?"

"Success." Cui Qingfeng replied immediately.

Xu Zhao said, "Also, tomorrow I will order newspapers and sell newspapers by the way."

Cui Qingfeng asked: "Have you contacted the newspaper?"

"Contacted."

These days paper products are quite popular, especially newspapers. Televisions and radios are not popular, and almost all information about the outside world is obtained through newspapers, so newspapers are very popular.

"Alright then, let's tidy up the house first." Cui Qingfeng said.

Cui Qingfeng provided a long table and moved it into the small house for newspapers, then moved stools and chairs for Xu Zhao and Xu Fan, and took cardboard boxes and brushes to write on the cardboard boxes. ——Sell popsicles and newspapers throughout the day.

But Cui Qingfeng hesitated, and said: "My handwriting is ugly, why don't you let my uncle write it, my uncle's handwriting is very beautiful."

Xu Zhao said, "Your uncle is not at home."

"My uncle will be back in a while."

"What are you waiting for, I'll write."

Xu Zhao took a brush, dipped it in ink, pointed at the cardboard, and wrote the words "Sell popsicles and newspapers all day long".

After finishing writing, Cui Qingfeng finally found out that Xu Zhao had a shortcoming, which was—the writing was ugly.

As far as the word Xu Zhao is concerned, let alone his uncle Cui Qingfeng, it is even incomparable with Cui Qingfeng, a poor student. Cui Qingfeng wanted to know that he was here to write it, but now he can’t say that Xu Zhao’s handwriting is ugly. , but Xu Fan came out of the room, clapped his little hands and said, "Wow! Dad's writing is so good! So good!"

Close your eyes and blow!

It's a real eye-opener!

Cui Qingfeng didn't even look at Xu Fan anymore.

"Okay." Xu Zhao asked Cui Qingfeng, "Are you sure?"

The corner of Cui Qingfeng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Okay." That's it, as long as you can recognize these few words anyway.

Xu Zhao put down his brush and said, "Then let's see what is still missing and get ready."

Cui Qingfeng said: "It lacks a lock."

"Yes, go buy a lock."

So one morning, Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng made up everything they could think of. When they were about to make popsicles at noon, a sudden heavy rain fell and the whole county cooled down. Seeing that the weather was bad, Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng made it. One hundred popsicles were sold at the small house at the intersection, but they were sold out, which made Cui Qingfeng friendly to Xiaofang.

The next day, the weather was fine and it was a good time to plant soybeans. The villagers in all the villages below the county seat were busy, including Xu Zhao.

Xu's father and Xu's mother couldn't come back to grow soybeans, Xu Zhao couldn't grow soybeans alone, Xu Fan couldn't help, and couldn't partner with Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng. Xu Zhao once again planted soybeans with the big farmers.

In this era, there are no advanced machines, and it all depends on human labor and scalpers, so the speed of planting soybeans is very slow. After a week of planting, Xu Zhao would go to the hospital and Cui Qingfeng's house every day, and of course he would carry a tow bottle with him wherever he went. Xu Fan, even when he planted soybeans in the field, Xu Fan followed him. Xu Fan had grown on Xu Zhao. Of course, he had seen more of the world. Little Xu Fan would even say that the most important thing was to gain weight.

Cui Qingfeng suddenly discovered that Xu Fan was fat. It was the kind that he didn't notice when he looked at it, but when he took a closer look, he could see that Xu Fan had gained a lot of weight.

Cui Qingfeng said in surprise, "Xu Fan, you've gained weight."

Xu Fan said, "No, I didn't eat enough last night."

"..." Cui Qingfeng pointed to Xu Fan's little trousers and said, "Look at your trousers, your butt is stretched."

Xu Fan explained: "I have grown taller."

Cui Qingfeng said: "No, you didn't grow taller, you gained weight."

Xu Fan thought for a while and said, "I, I, I am just a little bit fatter."

"It's not a little bit, it's a lot."

Xu Fan insisted, "Just a little bit."

Cui Qingfeng looked around at Xu Fan with folded arms, and said, "Son Xu, you really are a little fatter, tsk tsk, it's really surprising that you can gain so much weight in summer."

"..."

Seeing Xu Fan's dazed and cute face, Xu Zhao said, "We're fat, but we're pretty!"

When Xu Fan heard it, he immediately laughed, covered his face with his small hands and said, "I'm fat and I'm pretty!"

"Yes." Xu Zhao looked at Cui Qingfeng and asked, "How did you get the popsicles today?"

"Pretty good. And it's billed."

"Checked out? Why did you check out all of a sudden?" Xu Zhao asked in surprise.

Cui Qingfeng said: "Well, it happened just in time for them to settle the bill, so it was settled, and Sister Yun had to order another half a month, but only [-] sticks a day for the workers to eat, and the office staff would be gone."

"That's fine, that's how the popsicle business is."

Cui Qingfeng took out the money from his trouser pocket and said, "The balance is 110 yuan, and each of us is 57 yuan."

Xu Zhao took it over and said, "Yes, but I still can't pay you back for the time being."

"I know. You should visit your parents. The day after tomorrow, Sister Yun will ask you to sign a contract for half a month."

"Row."

Xu Zhao came to the hospital with 57 yuan and [-] cents, paid up the medical expenses, and announced that Xu's father could be discharged from the hospital the next day.

Can finally leave the hospital!

Mother Xu simply wept with joy.

Xu Zhao came to the hospital with an ox cart and quilts from Nanwan Village, carried Xu's father onto the ox cart, and pulled towards Nanwan Village. In addition to Xu's father and Xu Fan, Xu Zhao was in the cart.

Xu Fan sat beside Xu's father, stroked Xu's half-length beard with his little hand, and said, "Grandpa, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Xu Fan!" Xu Zhao scolded Xu Fan.

Xu Fan immediately shut up.

Xu Zhao didn't want Xu Fan's childish words to make Xu's father sad. The patient is very fragile, so he deliberately scolded Xu Fan.

But Xu's father didn't want to, he couldn't quite understand what he was saying, anyway, he was against Xu Zhao.

So Xu Zhao stopped talking about Xu Fan, and silently pulled the bullock cart forward.

Father Xu looked at Xu Fan with a smile, and hummed a few words to appease Xu Fan, but he couldn't help drooling again.

Xu Fan saw Xu Zhao and Xu's mother wipe the saliva of Xu's father, so he picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped Xu's mouth, saying, "Ah, grandpa, why are you drooling again? Stop drooling."

Father Xu looked at Xu Fan and let out a laugh from his throat.

Seeing Xu Fan being so obedient, Mother Xu's eyes became moist again.

Xu's father and Xu's mother had already learned about the separation of the family from Xu Zhao, and also knew about the separation of the family by building a mud wall, but when they returned to the small courtyard of the three thatched huts, they still couldn't help but feel chilled. Raised for nothing!

This time Xu's father was discharged from the hospital, the neighbors came to see Xu's father, and the big dealer even sent eggs, but Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng didn't show their heads, lest Xu's father would get on them in the future and drag them down.

Xu Zhao appeased Xu's father and Xu's mother, killed a rooster, gave a small half to the big farmer, and then kept more than half, which was divided into several shares by Xu's mother, and then cooked a potato chicken and a chicken soup for Xu's father. , put away the rest.

Xu Zhao said: "Mom, it's hot today, eat all the chicken, it will stink if left for a long time."

"Why does it stink? I sprinkle some salt, dry it in the sun, and save it for winter."

Keep—stay—over—winter—eat—

This summer hasn't passed yet, and autumn hasn't come yet, so I'm thinking about winter...

Xu Zhao couldn't convince Xu's mother to be frugal at all, but Xu's mother's cooking was really delicious. Xu Fan kept talking about the delicious food, and his stomach swelled.

After eating, Mother Xu started tidying up the hut.

Xu Fan squatted next to the chickens and ducks, watching how the chickens and ducks were eating, and suddenly heard the sound of a bicycle, turned his head quickly, got up and ran to Xu Zhao, crossed his small arms, and turned his back to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao asked, "Xu Fan, what are you doing?"

Xu Fan said, "Go to the county seat with Dad."

"Who said I went to the county seat?"

Xu Fan turned around and raised his face to look at Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao said, "I'll go to the big dealer's house to have a look."

Xu Fan immediately said, "I'll go too."

"Don't go, stay at home with grandpa first, grandpa will be anxious if he doesn't see you, I'll be back in a while, okay?"

As long as you have a good reason with Xu Fan, Xu Fan will always listen, so Xu Fan agreed.

So Xu Fan waited at home for Xu Zhao to come back, waiting left and right, but Xu Zhao didn't come back, so he asked, "Grandma, where is my father?"

Mother Xu said, "I don't know."

Xu Fan said, "Why hasn't he come back?"

Mother Xu replied, "I don't know either."

"I'll go to the big dealer to find him."

Xu Fan ran to Da Zhuang's house with short legs. Da Zhuang's mother said that Xu Zhao had gone back, so Xu Fan ran back again and asked, "Grandma, where is my father?"

"I don't know." Xu's mother said, because she didn't want to take Xu Fan around, so she went directly to the county seat from the big dealer.

"Didn't he come back?" Xu Fan asked.

"No."

Xu Fan opened his eyes wide and asked blankly, "Then where did my father go?"

Mother Xu couldn't bear to lie to Xu Fan, and said, "Maybe I went to the county seat."

"Why doesn't he take me?"

"Maybe I'm too busy to take you in time."

When Xu Fan heard Xu's mother say this, he stopped talking, his head drooped, and he walked towards the corner with small steps, his forehead resting against the corner of the wall, silent.

Mother Xu asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Fan burst into tears, and replied, "I miss Dad."

"Dad will be back tonight."

Xu Fan still said, "I miss Dad."

Xu's mother hugged Xu Fan and said, "Dad will come back after work, the third child won't cry, grandma will make you egg pancakes, okay?"

In Xu Fan's watery eyes, there were two tears that were about to fall, and he said to Xu's mother in a childlike voice, "Do it for Dad too."

Xu's mother felt distressed, and quickly said, "Okay."

"Grandpa will do it."

"Row."

"And grandma."

"Okay." Xu's mother laughed and said, "Do everything, we all eat."

After coaxing Xu Fan to play all afternoon, after dark, Xu Fan was lost again, sitting on the stone at the gate of the yard, looking towards the intersection, no matter what Xu's mother said, just sitting there waiting for Dad, not even entering the yard, Xu Fan My mother knew that Xu Fan was a good-natured child. Xu Zhao treated him well in the past, but he treated Xu Zhao well. His father often yelled at him. At that time, Xu Zhao didn't care much about him.

Now that Xu Zhao treats him well, he is no longer clinging to him every day.

It's definitely different whether it's my own father or not.

Xu's mother was picking beans, while sitting in the yard looking at Xu Fan, chatting with Xu Fan.

"Third child." Mother Xu shouted.

"Grandma, what are you calling me for?" Xu Fan asked.

Xu's mother deliberately chatted with Xu Fan: "What do you do with your father when you go to the county town every day?"

Xu Fan replied: "Sell popsicles."

"You also sell popsicles?"

"Yes, my father said that I am very good."

"is it?"

"Ah."

Mother Xu chatted with Xu Fan kindly.

"Father!" Xu Fan suddenly stood up and ran towards the intersection happily.

Xu's mother hurried to the gate of the courtyard to look. Her eyes were a little blurred and she couldn't see clearly. She felt that there was a bicycle rider on the road, far away. How did Xu Fan recognize it as Xu Zhao.

"father!"

"father!"

"father!"

"..."

Xu Fan ran towards Xu Zhao very excitedly all the way, and when he was almost in front of Xu Zhao, he fell to the ground hard with a "slap" and began to cry "wow".

"Third child." Xu's mother shouted.

Xu Zhao, who had just stopped his bicycle, quickly left the car and picked up Xu Fan. When he got home, he looked under the kerosene lamp and saw a little blood coming out of his mouth and his knees were blue. The whole family was very distressed.

Xu Fan also leaned against Xu Zhao's arms very delicately, without saying a word.

"Does it hurt?" Xu Zhao asked.

"It hurts." Xu Fan replied.

"Don't run so fast next time."

"it is good."

But the next day, when I saw Xu Zhao approaching the bicycle, he ran faster than anyone else, holding onto the handlebar of the bicycle with his small hands, and looked up at Xu Zhao eagerly, Xu Zhao had no choice but to hug him into the bicycle. Xu's mother said: "Mom, I'd better take him. You watch Dad at home and help Dad go for a walk."

Xu's mother glanced at the happy Xu Fan, and could only say, "Go, take care of the third child."

"understood."

Xu Zhao took Xu Fan to the county seat and went to the steel factory to sign a contract for half a month. Originally, he signed two hundred popsicles a day, but when Xu Zhao went to sign, it became three hundred, which was a lot more 45 yuan, for which Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng were very happy. Cui Qingfeng even dragged Xu Zhao and Xu Fan to have lunch at home. Xu Zhao couldn't refuse, so he ate at Cui Qingfeng's home.

During the meal, Cui Qingfeng pointed to Xu Fan and said, "Mom, do you think Xu Fan is getting fat?"

Mother Cui looked Xu Fan around and said, "Don't tell me, you are really fat."

Cui Qingfeng said with a smile: "Mom, have you noticed that Xu Fan's growth is only in the flesh but not in stature."

Cui's mother gave Cui Qingfeng a white look and said, "Some children grow up late."

"But Xu Fan is too late." Cui Qingfeng said: "Look at the little boy next door, he is only three months older than Xu Fan, a head taller than Xu Fan."

Xu Zhao became worried, looked at Cui's mother, and asked, "Is it true that my Xu Fan is not tall?"

Cui's mother said firmly: "It will definitely grow taller. Have you seen it? The top of Xu Fan's head is not flat but pointed. This kind of head shape will definitely grow taller. The top of Qingfeng's uncle's head was also like this. Everyone said that his uncle is not tall or tall, so I said that his uncle must be able to grow taller, isn't he 1.8 meters seven now? Xu Fan must have grown up late."

Xu Zhao expressed doubts: "When was Qingfeng's uncle young?"

Cui's mother asked: "It's Qingfeng's uncle when he was young, what happened?"

Xu Zhao was afraid that Cui's mother would lie to him and say, "Auntie Qingfeng, how did you know about it when his uncle was young?" It means that the age is about the same, maybe Cui's mother is younger than Cui Qingfeng's uncle, how could Cui's mother remember Cui Qingfeng's childhood Woolen cloth.

Mother Cui and Cui Qingfeng were taken aback for a moment, and then they burst out laughing together.

Xu Zhao was confused by the laughter.

Cui Qingfeng held his stomach and laughed, and after a while, he asked, "Xu Zhao, you don't think my uncle is a potbellied old man, do you?"

Indeed, Xu Zhao has always imagined this way, thinking of Cui Qingfeng's uncle, even if he is not a potbellied old man, he is at least 40 years old, and he is very old.

Mother Cui also kept laughing.

Cui Qingfeng laughed out loud and said, "Xu Zhao, my uncle is only 28 years old this year, okay? 28 years old?"

The corner of Xu Zhao's mouth twitched, and he said, "28 years old."

Only 28 years old?

Xu Zhao was embarrassed.

Cui Qingfeng slowly stopped smiling and said: "Yes, when my father was 17 years old, my grandparents wanted a daughter, and then gave birth to my uncle. My uncle has not yet grown up, and my grandparents passed away one after another. Uncle lives in my house."

Cui's mother went on to say: "In fact, his uncle didn't live with us for long. Uncle Qingfeng was smart, but he was really poor at that time. When Qingfeng's father and I got married, we only had one cooking pot. I must have no money to go to school. Many people Those who don't go to school, and Uncle Qingfeng doesn't go to school, but when others are playing, he goes to the window of the classroom in the next village to eavesdrop on the teacher's class, but the school teacher finds out.

"The teacher is also nice. He gave him a test paper and asked him to take the exam. As a result, he got a perfect score. The teacher thought he was a good study material, so he dragged him to find Grandpa Qingfeng, hoping that Grandpa Qingfeng would let him go to school. Grandpa Qingfeng took the soybeans and gave them to the teacher for him to go to school.

"He is also very sensible. He has understood since he was a child. Knowing that his family is poor, he has been skipping grades. He graduated earlier than ordinary people. Therefore, he started to struggle on his own very early. If it weren't for him, our whole family would starve to death."

After hearing this, Xu Zhao sighed, "He's really amazing."

Cui's mother said: "Yes, he is only four years older than Qingfeng, and he has suffered a lot, but because he is smart, he has not been deceived."

"Been tricked before." Cui Qingfeng answered: "I was tricked once, more than three years ago, my uncle was—"

"You're talking nonsense." Cui's mother interrupted Cui Qingfeng, and said instead: "Anyway, his uncle has suffered a lot, and when he finishes dealing with the matter at hand this time, I will let him rest at home. I don’t go back to his own house either, just here, I will make good food for him every day.”

"I eat too." Xu Fan Liba answered after hearing the food.

Mother Cui immediately laughed, touched Xu Fan's chubby face and said, "Okay, take the smart Xu Fan to eat."

Xu Zhao looked at Cui's mother with a smile, and thought of the purpose of the meal, he said, "Auntie, your colleague's house was the only one that opened a noodle factory, is it still open?"

"Go on, what's the matter?" Mother Cui asked.

"I want to go to his house to sell dried noodles at the intersection."

"Into the noodles?"

Cui's mother and Cui Qingfeng were shocked.

Cui Qingfeng asked puzzledly: "Xu Fan, why are you selling everything?"

Xu Zhao said honestly, "Make money."

"... Can this make money?"

"Yes, if you earn your popularity first, you will be able to make money. Let's do it little by little."

"You don't want to open a canteen, do you?"

"more than."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Make money."

"..."

Cui Qingfeng couldn't understand Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhaowang said to Cui's mother, "Auntie, can you help me set up a line? Her noodles are delicious. I want to sell noodles at her home."

Cui's mother said happily: "Of course it's ok. She is worried that she won't be able to sell it. I'll ask her to give you a cheaper price later."

"Thank you, auntie, thank you."

"You are too polite, kid."

Speaking of which, Cui's mother picked another piece of meat for Xu Zhao and Xu Fan, and then told Xu Zhao that she would help him ask about the noodles at night. At night, Cui's mother happily told Xu Zhao that the matter was over. After Cui Qingfeng discussed it, he decided to take ten handfuls of noodles and try selling them in a small room at the intersection. Anyway, there are popular popsicles with him, so he just needs to sell them to others.

If it sells well, keep selling it, if it doesn’t sell well, forget it.

Next, Xu Zhao waited for Cui's mother to bring him ten handfuls of dried noodles, while he and Xu Fan sat in the small house at the intersection to sell things. It was covered by a tile-roofed roof and did not need to be exposed to the sun. It was much more comfortable, but it was still a little hot. Zhao Na fanned himself with the fan, and the wind also fanned Xu Fan. Xu Fan was sitting on a stool folding the plane, and raised his head and asked, "Dad, where's Uncle Cui?"

Xu Zhao replied, "Go to the power station to pay the electricity bill."

"When will he come back?" Xu Fan asked.

Xu Zhao replied, "I guess I'll be back in a while."

"Oh." Xu Fan didn't know if he really wanted to know where Cui Qingfeng was, but he couldn't stop talking, always talking about this and that without any rules.

Xu Zhao returned to him one after another, focusing all his attention on the road, thinking that Cui's mother would come with ten handfuls of noodles in a while, but Cui's mother did not wait until she was anxious. Walking lightly with the basket, he appeared with a happy face. The moment he saw Xu Zhao, he immediately exclaimed: "Oh, Xu Zhao, I forgot the noodles."

Xu Zhao said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay to take it at night."

Mother Cui explained: "No, no, I brought the noodles home. They were on the noodle table at home. I was in a hurry and forgot to bring them for you. Now I am rushing to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Otherwise, I will not be able to buy them if the market stops. Well, why don't you go and get it yourself, there are people at home."

"Okay, Auntie, hurry up and go shopping."

Cui's mother said happily: "Okay, let's have lunch with us later."

Xu Zhao said, "No, I'll take Xu Fan home this afternoon."

After Xu Zhao finished speaking, he wanted Xu Fan to visit the store and see Xu Fan's small appearance. He looked so good-looking, what if he was carried away, so he temporarily locked the door and took Xu Fan to Cui's house together.

As soon as he entered the gate, Xu Zhao called out: "Qingfeng, Qingfeng."

Xu Fan then shouted: "Uncle Cui, Uncle Cui, where are you? Dad and I are here!"

The father and son shouted several times, and Cui's father finally responded: "Who, who is looking for Qingfeng, is it Xiao Xufan?"

Xu Fan replied: "It's not me, it's me and my father."

This answer... is perfect!Full marks!

Xu Zhao wiped off his sweat and was about to go to see Father Cui when a tall man walked out of the main room. The man was wearing casual white short-sleeved trousers and a pair of brand-new slippers. It gives people a sense of high class and oppression, especially the man is tall and handsome, and there is nothing wrong with his eyebrows or eyes.

When Xu Zhao was doing part-time jobs in the 21st century, he had seen many male celebrities who were well-groomed, but none of them could compare to the natural good looks and aura of the man in front of him.

Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment.

Xu Fan also stared blankly, it was almost three years since he was born, and it was the first time he saw such a good-looking person.

"Qingfeng is not here." The man's voice was low with a hint of laziness.

Before Xu Zhao answered, Xu Fan said, "I, we don't look for Qin Hong, we, we look for noodles." Xu Fan stuttered and couldn't pronounce Cui Qingfeng's name correctly.

The man asked blankly, "Where are the noodles?"

"Noodles, I don't know where the noodles are, but my father knows." Xu Fan looked up at Xu Zhao and asked, "Dad, where are the noodles?"
