Reborn In The '80s

Xu Zhao quickly looked at the man in front of him. He was handsome, tall and straight, with a strong aura, but he was only 27 or [-] years old in appearance. His eyebrows looked like Cui's father, but he was better than Cui's father. Combining these characteristics, it can be concluded that the man in front of him is Cui Qingfeng's uncle - Cui Dingchen.

"Dad." Xu Fan called again.

Xu Zhao looked down at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan asked, "Where are the noodles?"

Xu Zhao replied, "On the table in the main room."

When Xu Fan got the answer, he immediately turned his head to look at Cui Dingchen, and said childishly, "My father said that the noodles are on the table in the main room."

Cui Dingchen looked back at the main room and said, "Come in and get it."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Zhao said.

OK, thanks?

Hearing this, Cui Dingchen looked up at Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao didn't see it, but he pulled Xu Fan's little hand and passed by Cui Dingchen, walked towards the hall room, took ten handfuls of noodles, passed by Cui Dingchen again, and said, "Uncle, please."

Cui Dingchen hummed lightly.

It really is Cui Dingchen!

Still really 28 years old, so young!

Xu Zhao couldn't help feeling that it would be great if he could be as rich as he was when he was 28. He couldn't be so emotional. He was only 22 years old and had six years to fight. When he was 28, he would definitely be very powerful.

After thinking this over and over again, Xu Zhao's pride that was suppressed by Cui Dingchen reappeared in Xu Zhao's heart. Towers rise on the ground, no rush, just work hard every day.

So as soon as I arrived at the small shop at the intersection, I put it into the small shop and wrote the newly added items into the notebook. Just as I was writing, Cui Qingfeng came back by bicycle.

"Xu Zhao!" Cui Qingfeng shouted happily.

"I'm back." Xu Zhao immediately asked, "Did you pay the electricity bill? How much is your electricity bill this month?"

Cui Qingfeng sat on the bicycle and said, "Seven yuan and fifty cents, isn't it a little?"

"Not much, as expected." Xu Zhao looked at the wattage of Cui Qingfeng's refrigerator, TV, and incandescent lamps, and the calculated electricity bill was similar to this.

Cui Qingfeng smiled and said: "Well, Xu Zhao, you are really good, I'm back with that, you go to work, I'll come and see the store."

Xu Zhao said, "Let me come and see the store. Your uncle is back. Don't you have a get-together?"

"What? My uncle is sleeping when he comes back. Did you see my uncle just now?"

Xu Zhao said, "Yes, I saw it."

"Don't you look lazy?"

"It's okay." It was a little lazy, but not lazy.

Cui Qingfeng said: "It means that he hasn't slept yet, he should go to bed soon, there is no need to get together, you go and get busy, I'll come and see the shop."

Xu Zhao didn't continue to argue with Cui Qingfeng. Anyway, this is a store owned by two people, so he said, "That's okay. I just ran out of salt and matches. I'll go buy some and go home."

"Go, go." Cui Qingfeng said, waving his hands.

Xu Zhao took Xu Fan to the vegetable market and started shopping. At the grocery store, he bought two catties of kerosene for [-] cents, and bought a catty of raw edible salt for [-] cents. He wanted to buy refined salt, but it was two cents more expensive. And Xu's mother asked not to use refined salt, saying that it tasted the same as Dayanba, so why would it cost two cents more.

Then I bought a letter of matches, a washbasin, a bag of washing powder, and a catty of pork for extra meals for the family. It cost a total of five yuan, three cents and one cent.

With a few dollars left in his hand, Xu Zhao looked at the greedy Xu Fan beside him, gritted his teeth and bought him a bottle of milk for fifty-six cents, a big watermelon for seventy cents, and went to a cloth store to tear a piece of cotton cloth. , bought an elastic band, and wanted to make two pairs of trousers for Xu's father and Xu's mother, so he packed half a sack of things, rode a bicycle, and drove Xu Fan back to Nanwan Village.

As soon as she got home, Xu's mother began to criticize Xu Zhao for spending money, buying salt, matches, and washbasins, but it was too wasteful to cut pork, and milk, buy milk, milk...

Xu Fan held the milk tightly in his arms, as if "it's mine".

Mother Xu was immediately speechless.

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay, let's drink."

Xu Fan nodded his head, turned around and went out of the yard. When he came back, he shook his head and sucked on the straw on the milk bottle, followed by Da Zhuang. Da Zhuang said as he walked, "San Wazi, give me a drink."

Xu Fan held the milk and sat on the threshold of the hut.

Dazhuang followed and sat on the threshold, next to Xu Fan.

"San Wazi, give me a sip." Da Zhuang stared at Xu Fan with greedy eyes.

"No!" Xu Fan said firmly.

"I'll just take a sip."

"No!" Then he drank happily.

Xu Zhao: "..."

Can Xu Fan hold a bottle of milk and go around the big dealer's house just to show off to the big dealer that he has milk to drink?This mysterious friendship.

"I'll just take a sip." Da Zhuang said again.

"Then give me five of your glass balls." Xu Fan said.

"I can't give it to you."

"Why?" Xu Fan asked.

Dazhuang said: "My mother is going to give birth to a younger brother for me. I will keep it for my younger brother to play with. My older brother wants to love my younger brother."

Xu Fan asked solemnly: "Then why didn't you let your mother give birth to a brother for you?"

Then why don't you let your mother give you a brother—

The corner of Xu Zhao's mouth twitched a few times. He lived in two worlds. He only heard of giving birth to a younger brother and a younger sister. This was the first time he heard about giving birth to an older brother. He really had no eyes to look at Xu Fan anymore. It's hard to understand, Xu Zhao washed the radishes and stopped caring what Xu Fan and the two children were talking about, went into the kitchen, helped Xu's mother, and then sat in front of the ground pot to light the fire.

The meal was very rich, the pork was cooked in large pieces, and the fat was dripping with oil beads, which made everyone who had been short of oil for many years couldn't help salivating. Mother Xu kept feeding Xu Zhao and Xu Fan folder.

The family gathered around the chopping board to eat dinner, and at the same time felt the air was suddenly stuffy.

Xu Zhao said, "Why is it so hot all of a sudden?"

Xu Fan then said, "Dad, I'm hot too."

"You are hot because you eat."

Xu Fan: "..."

Mother Xu looked up at Mao Maoyun in the sky and said, "It's going to rain."

Xu Zhao asked, "Shouldn't it be cooler after the rain?"

Xu's mother laughed and said, "It's hotter when it rains. It will be hotter for ten days or so, and then it will be a little cooler, but it's still hot. The heat can be tolerated. It will be hot until the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that many factories in the city will be on holiday." For a few days to some workers."

Want to be hot until the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Xu Zhao was very surprised. It was only May and June when he first came here, and it was extremely hot, like July and August when he was in the 21st century city. He thought it would cool down soon, but he didn't expect the weather to be so hot until Mid-Autumn Festival That is to say, he doesn’t have to be so anxious now, he can slowly take advantage of the popularity of popsicles to improve the small intersection store and attract popularity to the small intersection store. Thinking about it, Xu Zhao felt relieved.

With a "boom", there was a sudden thunder in the sky, followed by heavy rain pouring down.

"Ohhhhh!" Xu Fan suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "Dad! Ohhhhh!"

"What?" Mother Xu asked puzzled.

"Chicken and duck." Xu Zhao said.

Xu's mother suddenly remembered: "Yes, I just collected the clothes and covered the straw, and forgot that the chickens and ducks were still in the yard."

Xu Zhao ran out in the rain, quickly rushed the chickens and ducks to the kitchen, and then the whole family was in the kitchen with one chicken and two ducks. Watching the pouring rain, Xu's father slurred a word.

Xu Zhao asked, "Mom, what did Dad say?"

Xu's mother said: "Your father said that the rain is good, and the beans will grow. Tomorrow, we can fry bean sprouts and eat them. Even the people in the city can't eat them."

"Are you going to pick up bean sprouts tomorrow?"

"It's not me, everyone in the village will go to mention it."

"Why?" Xu Zhao didn't quite understand why everyone wanted to mention bean sprouts.

Xu's mother said: "As the saying goes, 'Thick wheat, thin soybeans.' You have never grown wheat and soybeans alone, and you don't know the way to do it. When planting wheat, use more wheat seeds, and you can harvest more wheat next year. When planting soybeans, it is best to only have three or four beans in a pit. If there are too many, the beans will be small and shriveled when the soybeans are harvested. The oil cannot be squeezed out, and the price cannot be sold, and they cannot be used as bean seeds. If you don’t even pay the public rations, you may not be able to pay them, and you will lose a lot.”

"I see." Xu Zhao nodded.

During the conversation, the heavy rain stopped pattering, and the sky became dark. In order to save kerosene, everyone ate and slept early. The next morning, before dawn, the villagers were busy. basket, carrying bean sprouts while the weather was still hot, Xu Zhao went with Xu's mother, leaving Xu Fan and Xu's father at home.

Xu's father can now walk with a cane, but he walks slowly and unsteadily.

Xu Fan listened to Xu Zhao's words very much, and took Xu's father to walk slowly in the village, but Xu Fan was a child over two years old, and when he saw other children playing, his mind immediately became active, and he started running around the village with other children.

Xu's father was afraid that Xu Fan would get lost, so he ran after him with a cane and shouted.

"Baby, baby!"

Xu Fan was so excited to play that he couldn't hear it at all.

So one morning, I saw an old man with a cane walking behind four or five little kids. People in the village laughed and said, if this old man is exercised by his grandson like this every day, he will definitely die soon. I can work in the field.

Xu's father also heard these words, and he also felt that walking would give him more strength, and the doctor told him to take more walks, so he followed Xu Fan, but he couldn't walk anymore, so he sat down and rested. .

Seeing that other children were returning home one after another, Xu's father shouted, "Baby! Baby! Baby! Come here!"

Xu Fan turned his head and ran over happily: "Grandpa."

Father Xu said vaguely with a smile on his face, "Slow down, slow down."

Xu Fan ran up to Xu's father steadily, took Xu's hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go home."

"go home."

Back home, Father Xu ate half more Zamian Wotou than before.

Mother Xu was very happy.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan and said, "From now on, you can stay at home with grandpa."

"I want to follow Dad."

"……Fine."

After Xu Zhao had breakfast, he and Xu's mother washed the green bean sprouts with well water, smoothed them out, tied them tightly with hemp rope, tied them in four bundles, and Xu Zhao took them to the county seat. First, they went to Cui Qingfeng's house. The others were having breakfast in the main room, but they didn't look at Cui Dingchen, maybe they were sleeping, or they might have gone out.

"Hey, Xu Zhao and Xu Fan are here." Cui's mother came to greet her with steamed buns in her hand.

Xu Zhao handed two bundles of bean sprouts to Mother Cui.

Mother Cui asked, "What is this?"

Xu Zhao said, "The bean sprouts that grow in my field are for you to eat as vegetables."

Cui's mother said happily: "Oh, you are so polite, why don't you eat it yourself?"

Xu Zhao said warmly: "There are many at home, quite a lot."

"That's fine, I'll take it." Cui's mother smiled and asked, "Come here from home so early, have you all had breakfast?"

Xu Zhao said, "I've eaten."

"I've eaten too." Xu Fan continued.

Mother Cui smiled and asked Xu Fan: "So we, Xu Fan, can have another meal, right?"

Xu Fan didn't hide his true thoughts at all, nodded heavily: "Yes."

Xu Zhao: "..." Now Xu Fan eats less, if he earns less, it will not be enough for Xu Fan to eat at all.

Xu Zhao didn't eat another meal, but went into the popsicle room to make popsicles ahead of time. Out of his corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of a pack of cigarettes on the table. It was the front door. Cui Dingchen probably smoked it. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of Sister Yun, Yun My sister's lover seems to be working in the city tobacco factory, and he is probably the management team. As soon as the popsicles were ready, Xu Zhao immediately drove Xu Fan to the steel factory on a bicycle, and gave the remaining two bundles of green bean sprouts to Sister Yun.

Sister Yun is a city resident, and usually buys food and drink. Now that things are scarce, some things can’t be bought, such as green bean sprouts that come out of the soil. Sister Yun’s husband loves it most, because Yun My elder sister and husband were from the countryside when they were young, but when they became capable, their household registration was transferred to the city. After more than 20 years of living in the city, they still miss the taste of the countryside.

It’s just that the relatives of Sister Yun’s husband are too troublesome and have never given anything. They want to get benefits from their family all day long and kidnap morally. Although Sister Yun and her husband have a lot of salary, their three children go to school and her two old people , Life is also very tight, and I really can't bear the troubles of those relatives, so the relatives on the lover's side gradually stopped leaving, so they haven't bought the green bean sprouts that the rural people don't sell easily for many years.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhao would send this, and Sister Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Xu Zhao said with a smile: "There are many families, so bring some here. If Sister Yun likes to eat, I will bring you some tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Sister Yun asked happily: "You still have this at home?"

"Yes, just eat for three to five days, and if you want to eat again, you will have nothing."

Sister Yun said unceremoniously: "That's okay, you can bring me some tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will give you money."

"for free."

"Then what do you want?"

Xu Zhao said truthfully, "I want to buy cigarettes from your lover to sell."

"Are you going to sell cigarettes again?"

Xu Zhao explained to Sister Yun about the small shop at the intersection. He really wanted to make a lot of money, but now he has old people, old people who are not in good health, and young people who don’t understand anything, so he has to think about them. So I want to open a small shop for a transition, have a stable income to ensure their life stability, and then do other things.

Sister Yun knew that Xu Zhao was a smart and responsible person, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell my wife when I get back, and I promise it will be cheaper than others."

"Thank you Miss Yun."

"You're welcome. You help sell money. My wife gets a commission. It's too late for me to thank you."

Xu Zhao smiled shyly.

Sister Yun patted Xu Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Young man, work hard, don't forget sister if you have the ability."

"Don't worry, I won't forget Sister Yun." Xu Zhao thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask directly: "By the way, Sister Yun, the weather is still very hot, and it will be hot for a while, how did you get along with me last time?" Qingfeng said that the heat is coming soon, and the orders for popsicles are less, are the workers going to have a holiday for a while?"

Sister Yun said sternly: "According to the original plan, there will be a holiday, but this year's production demand is large, and it is not certain. We are meeting to discuss. If I need popsicles, I will find you again. Don't worry, I will not find anyone else."

Xu Zhao said, "Thank you, Sister Yun."

"You're welcome, it's so hot, go back quickly."

"Goodbye, Sister Yun."

Xu Zhao took Xu Fan out of the steel factory, and when he was riding a bicycle across the street, he came across two families arguing fiercely, blocking the road. Xu Zhao had no choice but to get out of the car and push the bicycle. Walking from the side of the road, after only two steps, Xu Fan suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Big car! Dad! Look! Big car!"

Xu Zhao looked forward and saw Cui Dingchen at the same time as the black car.

Cui Dingchen was also blocked by the crowd, and was sitting in the driver's seat smoking a cigarette. The moment Xu Zhao saw him, he also saw Xu Zhao, and then put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and nodded to Xu Zhao .

Xu Zhao also nodded and had already walked in front of the black car.

"Where did you go?" Cui Dingchen asked in a low voice without any emotion.

"Steel factory." Xu Zhao replied.

Cui Dingchen nodded and stopped talking.

Xu Fan lay on the handlebars, tilted his head to look at Cui Dingchen in the driver's seat, and said, "Big brother, your big car is so big!"

Big brother--

The corner of Xu Zhao's mouth twitched immediately, calling Cui Dingchen big brother, what about Cui Qingfeng and Uncle Cui?

This, this generation difference is too big.

Even Cui Dingchen couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at Xu Fan.
