Reborn In The '80s

Xu Zhao, Xu's father, and Xu's mother hurried forward, stretched out their hands to scrape away the soft soil, and saw the tender green seedlings. They seemed to be worried, and then scraped the soil in several places, all of which were healthy seedlings. Only then can people be sure that these vegetable seeds are alive.

That's right, it sprouted.

sprouted!

Xu Zhao let out a long breath of relief.

Xu's father and Xu's mother were so excited, it really sprouted, and the vegetables really grew!

Dazhuang's father asked: "Uncle Xu, has it sprouted?"

Xu's father said happily: "It's sprouted, it's sprouted, it's such a cold day, it sprouted so soon! It's about to grow!"

Dazhuang's father looked at Xu Zhao happily after hearing the words, and praised Xu Zhao once.

Xu Zhao was also happy, and suddenly thought of something, he quickly said something to Dazhuang's father, stepped out of the shed, and then ran to Uncle Zhang's house with long legs, borrowed Uncle Zhang's phone, dialed a number, After a few beeps, a very cold voice came from the other end: "Hi, hello, I'm Cui Dingchen, who is it?"

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle, it's me."

The voice at the other end made a 360-degree turn in an instant, with joy in the low voice: "Xu Zhao."

Xu Zhao didn't notice this subtle change, and said happily, "Well, uncle, the vegetables in the greenhouse have sprouted!"

Cui Dingchen asked: "Sprout today?"

The joy on Xu Zhao's face did not fade and he said, "Yes."

Cui Dingchen said with ease in his voice, "Congratulations!"

Xu Zhao laughed and said, "Thank you, uncle, the books you brought me are very helpful, thank you, I will send the green vegetables, spinach, coriander, and leeks that grow faster back to Uncle Cui, and wait for you You can eat it when you come back."

"Well, actually, you can deliver it directly to my house." Cui Dingchen said.

Only then did Xu Zhao remember that Cui Dingchen had his own home in the county seat, but he had never been there, and he didn’t know what it was like, but this was not the crux of the problem, so he helped Cui Dingchen so much, even if he was sent to the city He was also willing to go to the family he lived in, so Xu Zhao immediately agreed, and then talked to Cui Dingchen.

Just as he was talking, Xu Fan came in with the toy car in his arms, stood in front of Xu Zhao, and pulled Xu Zhao's pants with his hands and said, "Dad, I want to talk on the phone too."

Xu Zhao glanced at Xu Fan, talked to Cui Dingchen, and handed the microphone to Xu Fan. Xu Fan held the microphone and imitated an adult, "Hey, I'm Xu Sanwazi, who are you?" Duan Cui Dingchen bit the bullet and said, "I am your second master Cui".

Xu Fan immediately returned the microphone to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Xu Fan replied, "It's not Dad."

Xu Zhao hesitated for a moment, the child's thinking was really hard to understand, he was obviously by Xu Fan's side, Xu Fan thought it was his call, what was this?Xu Zhao had no choice but to hold the phone and talk to Cui Dingchen again.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhao pulled Xu Fan out from Uncle Zhang's house. When he got home, Dazhuang's father and Dazhuang were still there.

Everyone is a farmer, so they know something about crops. It is a good thing to know that vegetables have sprouted, but we should not take it lightly, because there may be pests, drought and the like.

However, these can all be solved. Xu's father and Dazhuang's father are all experts in this area, including Xu's mother, so Xu Zhao is not worried. It is a happy thing to watch the seedlings grow up every day.

The unhappy thing is that Xu Zhao is poor, and indeed invested a lot of money in the greenhouse vegetables. Although he has the income from the small shop, but Xu's father still needs to take medicine, so he really has no money.

Xu Fan has not eaten meat for several days. The chicken and duck that were separated before, because they are roosters and ducks, cannot lay eggs. After eating a rooster, Xu's mother sold the rest , so there is no meat to eat at home.

Fortunately, there are vegetables, and the cycle of each vegetable is different. Like beans, cucumbers, garlic sprouts, and edamame, it takes a little longer to mature, and it takes about two months in the greenhouse, but green vegetables, coriander, spinach, and leeks are different. Not to mention short, it can be eaten when it grows a little.

What's more, Xu Zhao didn't use seedlings to plant, but directly planted with seeds. The benefits of seedlings are cost-saving, but it is too troublesome, especially when there are many kinds of vegetables.

So Xu Zhao planted the seeds directly. Although it took a few seeds, and after the seedlings grew out later, the extra seedlings needed to be pulled out, but the seedlings that were pulled out could just be eaten as their own vegetables.

Therefore, recently, the vegetables that Xu Zhao and Dazhuang's family eat are all vegetables in the greenhouse. Although they are out of season, they are all natural without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, so every vegetable has their most authentic taste.

And Xu Fan is not picky about food, everything tastes delicious.

Xu Zhao likes Xu Fan's hard-working and solid appearance. He lives like this every day, reading books during the day, observing and recording the conditions of various vegetables, applying farmyard manure and watering at the right time, and covering the shed with a straw curtain at night, so as to give him a better life. The heat preservation in the shed continued to record the conditions of various vegetables.

As the days passed, the weather became colder again. Xu Fan had already put on long johns and looked chubby, but this did not affect his lively and active every day at all. He was still a flexible little fat man just like Da Zhuang.

It's just that the weather was dry and cold, and Xu Fan's little face was blushing. At first Xu Zhao thought it was because he was too excited to play, and his face was flushed with joy. But when he washed his face at night, he said it hurt. That's when Xu Zhao found Xu Fan's little face. Cracked.

Cracked.

After Xu's mother learned about it, she quickly took last year's clam oil, picked out her little nails, and applied it to Xu Fan's small face. With a bright red face, she looked at the broken mirror by the kerosene lamp and said, "Oh, I'm so pretty, so pretty."

What eyes!It's all a monkey's ass, and it looks good!Xu Zhao really didn't look good-looking at all, and felt greasy.

But Xu's mother was very supportive and said: "That's right, our third baby is the best-looking! The most beautiful!"

However, this clam oil was really effective, Xu Fan's face was relieved the next day, Xu Zhao also used a little bit, but it was too oily, too oily, he couldn't stand it, so he had to wash it off .

Then Xu Zhao came to the shed, brought a lot of green vegetables, spinach, and leeks with Dazhuang's father and Xu's mother, simply shook off the mud, tied small handfuls and put them in a bamboo basket, and tied them to the back seat of Xu Zhao's bicycle. On the morning, Xu Zhao took them to the county town for a trial sale.

Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Dazhuang's father stayed at home to pull weeds, and Dazhuang's mother wanted to take Dazhuang to visit relatives. Xu Zhao was afraid that Xu Fan would run away or be bullied by Xu Dawa and Xu Erwa, so he borrowed Dazhuang's little Lei Feng hat for Xu Fan to wear. , Take it to the county seat.

Little Lei Feng directly made Xu Fan's face round, and he looked like a brave little soldier, but Xu Fan's beauty was spoiled, so he ran into the room, found a mirror, and took a picture.

Xu Zhao pushed his bicycle and shouted in the yard, "Xu Fan."

Xu Fan responded in the room: "Dad, I'm looking in the mirror."

"Is it enough?" Xu Zhao asked.

"not yet."

not yet--

Xu Zhao's temples twitched three times and said, "If you don't come out again, I'm leaving."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Fan came out quickly on his short legs. He hadn't been working on a bicycle for a long time, and he still didn't forget the procedure. He ran in front of Xu Zhao, turned his back to Xu Zhao, raised his small arms, and let Xu Zhao hug him. the front bumper, and then said, "Dad, I'm wearing a hat."

Xu Zhaoying: "Well, you're wearing a hat."

"Thunderbolt hat."

"Lei Feng."

"Thunder boom."

"Front!"

"Front!"

"Correct."

Xu Zhao stepped on his long legs, stepped on his bicycle, and rode directly out of the yard. When the father and son were driving in the village, everyone in the village saw the vegetables behind Xu Zhao's bicycle. They were tender and green, and there was a whole basket. Surprised:

"Is there still such a tender spinach now? Isn't the spinach already off the market?"

"Have Xu Zhao's greenhouse vegetables really grown?"

"Oh, there are green vegetables and coriander, Xu Zhao is really amazing."

"It's too fast. I feel like the vegetables came out within a few days of planting."

"I heard it keeps warm, so the vegetables grow fast."

"..."

Amidst the exclamation of the villagers, Xu Zhao carried Xu Fan onto the big dirt road. Once on the big dirt road, Xu Fan was overjoyed. It had been a long time since he had been released like this. He screamed happily and said loudly, "Father, we are going to the county seat!"

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Yes!"

"Dad, I'm wearing a Thunderbolt hat and going to the county seat."

"It's not Lei Hong, it's Lei Feng. Comrade Lei Feng is a selfless and dedicated soldier of the People's Liberation Army."

"warrior!"

"Correct."

While riding a bicycle, Xu Zhao asked Xu Fan about the spirit of Comrade Lei Feng, and asked Xu Fan to learn from Lei Feng. Just after he finished speaking, he arrived in the county town. Instead of going directly to sell vegetables, Xu Zhao rode a bicycle directly to Cui's house.

The Cui family rushed up when they saw Xu Fan.

"Ouch, Sanwazi."

"The third baby is here."

"Ah, Sanwazi is wearing a hat today!"

Cui's father, Cui's mother, Cui Qingfeng welcomed Xu Fan very warmly.

Xu Fan touched the hat with his little hand and said, "This is Dazhuang's hat. I look better on it than Dazhuang." What Xu Fan meant was that he looked better wearing a Lei Feng hat than Dazhuang.

What a friendship like plastic, Xu Zhao was speechless.

Cui's mother smiled kindly, and couldn't help but hugged Xu Fan: "Yeah, it's pretty, very pretty, Sanwazi, why haven't you come to the county recently?"

Xu Fan replied, "I grow vegetables at home."

"Hey, Sanwazi can grow vegetables? What kind of vegetables are you growing?"

"I, I, I, I can't, my dad can, my dad can grow all kinds of vegetables, it's delicious!"

Mother Cui laughed and said, "Then why did you come to the county again today?"

Xu Fan helped the Lei Feng cap that was about to fall off, and said, "I'll sell vegetables!"

"Yo, Sanwazi has switched to selling vegetables, where's the vegetables?"

Xu Fan pointed at the back seat of the bicycle, isn't it just a bamboo basket of vegetables?

Mother Cui was stunned.

Father Cui was taken aback.

Cui Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Xu Zhao, did you really plant it?"

Xu Zhao nodded and said, "It has been planted."

It's really amazing!

The Cui family looked at Xu Zhao with admiration.

Xu Zhao said with some embarrassment: "I'll try to sell it first, and I don't know if it can be sold."

"It's definitely possible!" The Cui family said in unison.
