Reborn In The '80s

Xu Zhao counted the time subconsciously, looked up at Xu's mother, and asked, "Mom, isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th?"

"No, there is still more than a month." Xu's mother said.

Xu Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Aren't we going to cut the soybeans in more than a month? Is it just two or three days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Yes." Mother Xu said while eating noodles.

"Was it still hot at that time?" Xu Zhao asked again.

Xu's mother replied: "It's not too hot in the morning and evening, but it's still hot at noon. When cutting beans, many people still eat popsicles, but they can't eat them at the end of August, because it will be rainy in autumn and cold in late August." .”

Xu Zhao responded lightly, fell into deep thought, and began to reintegrate and extend the thoughts that flashed through his mind just now. Things that could give him a start-up bonus for further development.

It’s just that there is a shortage of various materials in this era, and the business model of the 21st century cannot be copied mechanically, let alone reselling whatever is resold. If you don’t understand the market, you will also lose money.

However, the traditional festival of the Mid-Autumn Festival remains unchanged. According to the Chinese people's feelings and habits for the festival, this is a period of great business opportunities.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu's mother again.

Mother Xu stopped her chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhao said, "Mom, our family will all go to the county seat tomorrow."

"What are you doing?" Mother Xu asked.

"Look at the store, let you be familiar with the situation of the small store first, and when it's time to weed in the field, I'll go and weed with you."

Mother Xu asked again: "I'm going to the county seat tomorrow."

"Well, it's all going anyway."

"That's fine." Anyway, she had already promised her son, as long as she could help him, she was willing to do it.

However, Xu's mother was secretly worried all night, always afraid that if she did not do well, her son would lose something.

The next morning, Xu's mother got up early to make breakfast, ate breakfast, cleaned up the housework, and then looked at the only broken mirror in the house, looked at it again and again, combed her gray hair over and over again, and combed a mess of hair. None, and then tied it with a hair rope, coiled it behind the head, clean and tidy.

Xu's mother not only arranged herself in this way, but also dressed Xu's father neatly and cleanly, and then went to Xu Zhao and asked, "Xu Zhao, is it okay for mom to dress like this?"

"Okay." Xu Zhao said, Xu's mother had already cleaned up very neatly, and she looked like a fastidious person.

Xu's mother asked worriedly: "Isn't it going to be a joke?"

"How come, this is very good."

Xu's mother pulled Xu's father to Xu Zhao's side again, and asked, "Then is it okay for your father to do the same?"

Xu Zhao looked at Xu's father seriously, and he really didn't find any faults, and said, "Okay."

"Then, let's go."

So Xu's mother pulled the ox cart, Xu Zhao pushed the bicycle, Xu's father and Xu Fan followed the ox cart, and the family set foot on the dirt road to the county town. When they were tired from walking, Xu's father and Xu Fan sat on the ox cart. , let Xu's mother pull, Xu Zhao pushed the bicycle with one hand, and helped pull the ox cart with the other.

It seemed to be a harmonious scene, but Xu's mother was actually very nervous. Every two or three steps, she had to touch her hair and tug at the hem of her clothes, lest her image would be damaged and Xu Zhao would be ashamed.

Xu Zhao said helplessly, "Mom, don't be nervous, it's fine, you're doing fine."

Mother Xu said, "No, I'm not nervous."

Having said that, when she arrived at the Fan Xiaodian, she was still a little restless. Whenever someone came to buy newspapers or something, she straightened her body quickly. There are not many words, but Father Xu still knows quite a lot.

So Xu Zhao taught Xu's father and Xu's mother to sell things at the same time. If Xu's mother can't remember the price, Xu's father can help look at the list of goods, and then tell Xu's mother the price.

Xu's mother is responsible for getting goods, collecting money, and changing money. Xu's mother is good at settling accounts, so Xu Zhao is not worried.

After half a day, both Xu's father and Xu's mother did a good job, and a tight string in Xu's father and Xu's mother's heart gradually loosened, and the two of them talked and acted much more naturally.

Two days later, Xu Zhao began to teach Xu's father and Xu's mother the purchase process, just to let Xu's father and Xu's mother understand the purchase process, and there was no need for Xu's father and Xu's mother to purchase the goods, because the purchase was far away and tiring, Xu Zhao planned to do it all by himself. When I have time, I help Xu's father and Xu's mother to buy goods, so Xu's father and Xu's mother only need to sell things in the small shop.

After three or four days of study, Xu's father and Xu's mother have almost mastered it. Even if Xu Zhao leaves for a while, Xu's father and Xu's mother can handle it freely.

At this time, the grass in the crop field was almost grown, Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng said hello, and then stayed in Nanwan Village for a few days, going to the fields with Xu's father and Xu's mother to pull weeds every day.

Of course Xu Zhao and Xu's mother pulled weeds, Xu's father couldn't work, Xu Fan couldn't work, so Xu Zhao and Xu's mother pulled weeds in the field, and Xu's father and Xu Fan were busy in the field.

Occasionally, Xu Fan would run to the middle of the field to pull weeds, and with all his strength, he pulled out two soybean plants with mud and roots, and was reprimanded by Xu Zhao. There are also other villagers' children playing in the field.

Xu Fan went up to play with other children, and even had a fight with a three-year-old child. After the fight, the two cried, and played together again after crying. When Cui Qingfeng came to sell popsicles, Xu Fan handed the popsicle to the three-year-old to take a bite, and the two happily became friends again.

On the other hand, Cui Qingfeng didn't see Xu Zhao for several days, so he deliberately took out three popsicles and gave one to each of Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao asked, "Why did you go to the countryside to sell popsicles again?"

Cui Qingfeng said: "Make more money."

"You are here to sell popsicles, what about Fan Xiaodian?"

"My dad helped to watch." Cui Qingfeng said.

"Can Uncle Cui go to the ground?"

"Yes, you can go, and you can sell things."

"The recovery is really fast, then you should hurry up and sell popsicles. While everyone is tired of pulling weeds, you can just sell two more sticks, and go home as soon as they are sold, so don't tire Uncle Cui."

"Row."

Cui Qingfeng rode his bicycle to sell popsicles everywhere, and when he came back, Xu Zhao and the others were no longer in the field. He rode his bicycle back to Cui's house with some disappointment, just as Cui Dingchen came back from outside.

Recently, Cui Dingchen spent more and more time in the county.

"Uncle, you're back." Cui Qingfeng said.

Cui Qingchen nodded, and then asked, "Why is your father watching the shop at the intersection?"

Cui Qingfeng replied: "Because I went to the countryside to sell popsicles today."

Cui Dingchen paused and asked, "Where's Xu Zhao? Why isn't he here?"

Cui Qingfeng said, "He's gone home."

Cui Dingchen raised his eyebrows, looked at Cui Qingfeng and asked, "What are you doing at home?"

"Weeding. His family has three acres of soybeans and needs to be weeded."

"Isn't it okay to use pesticides?"

"He said that pesticides are expensive, but they are not as thorough as weed removal."

"..."

Cui Dingchen didn't speak, and turned back to his room. His room was very simple, with a bed, checked sheets on the bed, a row of cabinets, a table, and a chair, but it was very clean and tidy. He walked into the room, sat on the bed, Habitually changing slippers, he caught a glimpse of the Daqianmen cigarettes on the table out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly thought of Xu Zhao who was wearing white short-sleeves that day.

Xu Zhao was bathing Xu Fan in the sun at this time.

Xu Fan stripped naked, sat in the big iron basin fleshy, and cried.

"Don't cry." Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan kept his mouth shut and stopped crying. If he was wronged, his father said he couldn't go to the water's edge, so he didn't go to the water's edge. What he and Dazhuang went to was not water, but mud. They wanted to catch loach, but the loach didn't catch Then, the two little guys fell all over the mud, of course they were all taught a lesson.

"You only have this set of clothes, you know?" Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan remained silent.

"After washing in a while, you can be naked in the yard."

"I have old clothes." Xu Fan said.

"The old clothes have been cut by your grandma to make shoes."

"..."

So Xu Fan stayed at home with his butt naked, and waited for his clothes to dry before putting them on. It was already afternoon, and Xu Zhao's family went down to the ground to pull out the weeds for a long time, and finally almost pulled out the weeds on the three acres of land. , When I got home, I washed the grass juice on my hands with soap for a long time, but it didn't wash off.

Xu Zhao washed for a long time.

The next day, after Xu Zhao took Xu's mother and others to Fan Xiaodian, Xu Zhao came to Cui's house, first used soap, squatted by the well and continued to wash his hands, rubbing his hands into a little foam, and when he was about to rinse, he found porcelain There was no water in the basin, and he couldn't take a ladle to scoop it into the water tank. When he was about to call Cui Qingfeng, Cui Dingchen, who was smoking at the door and thinking about something, suddenly said, "Let me do it."

Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome."

Cui Dingchen extinguished the cigarette in his hand by the well, threw it into the trash can, picked up the plastic water ladle on the lid of the water tank, opened the water tank, bent down to scoop up a ladle of clean water, and was about to rush towards Xu Zhao's hand Xu Zhao hurriedly said, "Don't wash it in my hands, just pour it into a porcelain basin."

Cui Dingchen paused for a moment, glanced at Xu Zhao, then turned his arm in one direction, poured a ladle of water into the porcelain basin, and when he was about to scoop up more water, he heard Xu Zhao say, "Thank you, Uncle, it's ok."

Cui Dingchen hummed, took the ladle out of the water tank and put it on the water tank.

"Thank you." Xu Zhao said again.

"It's all right."

"Then you go and do your work, uncle." Xu Zhao said with a smile.

"Ah."

Cui Dingchen walked away.

Xu Zhao came to the popsicle room and made popsicles with Cui Qingfeng. When they were almost done, he said to Cui Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, I'm going to the city for the next two days."

Cui Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Go to the city? What are you doing in the city?"
