Reborn In The ’80s to Raise Cubs

Chapter 20:

This slow tasting immediately made Xu Zhao, Dad Dazhuang, Cui Qingfeng, Xu Fan and Dazhuang hold their breaths, and everyone waited for the inspector to say a word.

However, the inspector did not speak, and then used the fluted cone stick to stab each of the other sacks once, continued to check carefully, smack it again, and then said without raising his head: "Go and weigh. "

to weigh in?

What do you mean?

Without waiting for Xu Zhao's reaction, Dazhuang's father said happily: "It's over, Xu Zhao, come, hurry up and weigh it on the scale."

Xu Zhao asked in surprise, "Did it happen?"

"It's over! Come on!"

Xu Zhao hurriedly carried the bags of wheat to the scale for weighing with Dad Zhuang. Originally, Xu Zhao only needed to hand in 135 catties of wheat. He came here after 140 catties, so the grain station returned him another 5 catties of wheat, and collected the public grain books of him and Xu’s father, and gave him two public grain lists to prove that the public grain has been paid.

Pushing the bullock cart out of the grain station compound, Xu Zhao felt relaxed, and said a few words to Dad Zhuang, saying that he was going to see Xu's father and Xu's mother, and then led Xu Fan to the county hospital with Cui Qingfeng.

When he walked to the door of the hospital, Cui Qingfeng deliberately went to the small stall and bought two watermelons to bring to Xu's father and Xu's mother. As a result, when he visited Xu's father and Xu's mother, Xu Zhao came out with another watermelon, which he planned to give to Cui Qingfeng. , but Cui Qingfeng didn't want to say anything. In the end, Xu Zhao had to carry it, and when he reached the intersection, he said to Cui Qingfeng, "Our family's public food has been handed over, and tomorrow we can sell popsicles wholeheartedly."

Cui Qingfeng asked, "Don't you grow soybeans at home?"

Xu Zhao said, "Grow the seeds, but you have to wait for the next rain, otherwise the bean seeds will not sprout."

Cui Qingfeng said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the grain station to sell."

"become!"

"You walk home? Why don't my uncle drive you, or I'll drive you there."

"No, I might meet Dazhuang's father and Dazhuang later."

Cui Qing had to give up reluctantly.

After parting with Cui Qingfeng, Xu Zhao held the watermelon in one hand and Xu Fan's small hand in the other, walking in the afterglow of the sunset, Xu Fan turning his head to look at Xu Zhao's hand from time to time.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Zhao asked.

Xu Fan asked, "Dad, shall we eat watermelon when we get home?"

"Well, I'll eat it when I get home."

"I'm going to eat a big piece."

"Row."

"Sanwazi! Sanwazi!" At this moment, Dazhuang's excited shout came from behind.

Xu Zhao and Xu Fan looked back and saw Dazhuang's father pushing an ox cart, and Dazhuang was sitting on the ox cart.

Xu Fan immediately shouted, "Dazhuang, take me to a seat!"

Dazhuang said, "Come on! Come and sit!"

Xu Fan quickly ran back on his short legs, sat beautifully with Dazhuang, and asked, "Dazhuang, why haven't you gone home yet?"

Dazhuang replied, "My dad and I go shopping."

"What did you buy?"

"Meat." Dazhuang said, "My dad bought a lot of meat."

"Can I eat at your house?" Xu Fan asked.

"No." Dazhuang bluntly refused.

In an instant, there is a feeling that the boat of friendship has capsized.

Xu Fan refused to admit defeat and said, "I have watermelon at home, so I won't take you to eat it."

Dazhuang said, "I don't eat it, I'll go home and eat meat."

Xu Fan said: "Tomorrow my father will also buy meat, and I won't take you to eat."

Dazhuang said: "If you don't take me to eat, I won't eat."

Xu Fan said, "The watermelon is big and sweet, and I won't bring you to eat it."

"..."

Xu Zhao listened to the two children, Xu Fan and Dazhuang, and laughed.

When Dazhuang's father pushed the ox cart to him, Xu Zhao put the watermelon on the ox cart. As soon as he put it down, Xu Fan immediately used his small arm to hug the big watermelon tightly, lest Dazhuang would **** it away, Dazhuang stared at him. After watching the watermelon for a long time, I was a little moved, and finally couldn't help but say, "Sanwazi, if I take you to eat meat, will you take me to eat watermelon?"

Xu Fan simply said, "Take it."

"Then you will come to my house to eat in a while, and I will come to your house to eat watermelon, okay?"

"good."

"..."

The two little guys finally reached a consensus and sat side by side chatting.

Xu Zhao didn't look at Xu Fan anymore, and instead chatted with Dad Dazhuang, and chatted with purpose, because Xu Zhao knew that Dad Dazhuang would build a house. Usually when someone in the village wanted to build a thatched hut, he would ask Dad Dazhuang for help. Last time Xu Zhao He was also looking for Dad Dazhuang to build the wall, but this time Xu Zhao didn't ask Dad Dazhuang to build the wall, but to build a house.

"Build a house?" Dad Dazhuang asked in surprise, "What kind of house?"

Xu Zhao said, "How much does it cost to build a tile-roofed house at an intersection in the county seat?"

Dazhuang's father asked, "Who built it?"

Xu Zhao said bluntly: "I."

"How can you have so much money? Building a house is not a trivial matter. It costs at least two hundred yuan for tiles, bricks, cement, and labor."

"What about using clay and wheat bran instead of cement? Make it smaller. When my brother and I split up, we still had a hundred bricks in the house. Wouldn't it save some money?"

Dad Dazhuang thought for a while and said, "Yes, but it will cost you another hundred yuan to save."

One hundred yuan is not too much, and it is also within Xu Zhao's ability.

Xu Zhao said quickly, "Brother Li, can I ask you to build a house? I'll pay you the wages."

Dazhuang's father asked in surprise: "Do you really want to build it?"

Xu Zhao said, "Really."

"Do you have a hundred dollars?"

"Yes." Actually not yet.

"That's fine, I also know some bricklayers and so on. I'll go back and ask you a question. By the way, what are you doing building a house?"

"Sell something with a friend, thank you, Brother Li."

"You're welcome."

As he spoke, he arrived at Xu Zhao's house. Xu Zhao carried the watermelon and asked Xu Fan to come down.

Xu Fan stretched his calf and sat on the ox cart, obediently not moving, even if Dad Zhuang tilted the ox cart, Xu Fan didn't get down.

Xu Zhao shouted again, "Xu Fan, you're home."

Xu Fan said, "I don't want to go, I want the big house to eat meat."

So delicious, shameful.

Xu Zhao said, "The big house has no meat."

"some."

"Our family has it too." Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan asked, "Is there any?"

"Yes, come down, I'll make it for you right away."

"good."

Hearing that meat can be eaten at night, Xu Fan immediately got out of the car and said goodbye to Dazhuang.

When he got home, Xu Zhao made a bacon for Xu Fan. After the meal, he cut the watermelon and sent half of it to Dazhuang's house, which made Dazhuang's parents very excited. After returning, he ate watermelon with Xu Fan. The stomach was bulging. At this moment, I heard that Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were still sifting wheat. I heard that Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng deliberately mixed the bottom of the sack with sand and undried wheat in order to pay less for the public grain. When inspected by inspectors, not only were they criticized one by one, but they were also beaten back and screened again.

It really deserves it!

Xu Zhao ignored them, covered two chickens and two ducks in two chicken covers, sprinkled a basin of water in the yard to cool off the heat, and then pulled the bed in the hut into the yard by himself. .

Xu Fan asked curiously, "Dad, why didn't we sleep in the house?"

Xu Zhao said, "It's hot, it's cool outside, do you want to sleep inside?"

Xu Fan said, "I want to sleep with my father."

"Okay, we'll sleep after taking a shower, but you can go outside to pee first to save you from wetting the bed at night."

Xu Fan defended himself: "I don't wet the bed, but Dazhuang likes to wet the bed. Dazhuang wet a lot of sheets yesterday."

Xu Zhao asked, "How did you know that?"

Xu Fan said seriously: "He told me."

"..." What an incomprehensible friendship.

After taking a bath, the father and son were lying on the bed in the courtyard. The bed was covered with mosquito nets to keep out mosquitoes, but not coolness and comfort.

Xu Fan was lying on the mosquito net leaning on Xu Zhao, looking at the stars in the sky, his little finger pointed to the sky and said, "Dad, look, the stars, there are so many stars."

Xu Zhao looked at the sky and said, "Well, the sky is full of small stars."

After a while, Xu Fan said again: "Dad, grandma said that there are gods in the stars, many gods."

Xu Zhao replied, "Yes."

Xu Fan said, "There is Dabai Dabai... Dabai Xingxing."

Xu Zhaohan: "It's not a big white star, it's a Taibai star."

Xu Fan said, "Taibai Jingjing."

"Tai Jinxing."

"Taibai Xingxing."

"Tai, Bai, Jin, Xing."

"Yes, Taibaijinxing is a **** in the sky, there is..."

Xu Zhao's gentle voice flowed slowly in the silent night, like a spring water soaked in moonlight, gurgling with tranquility and beauty.

While listening, Xu Fan looked at the vast starry sky, his eyes lit up and lit up, his eyelids began to fight, and he fell into sleep after a while. Because he exercised a lot during the day, there was a slight snoring sound at night.

Xu Zhao touched Xu Fan's little face and stared at the stars. He didn't have those sad emotions, but thought about making money very pragmatically. With the passage of time, the summer will soon pass, and after the summer, the popsicle business will begin. Going straight to the freezing point, at this time he has to make money, so he has to think about it in advance, so he thought of building a house, first build the house at the intersection, take advantage of the heat of the popsicle, and slowly transform, once the summer of the province is over, he will I have nothing to do with Cui Qingfeng immediately.

But where does one hundred dollars to build a house come from? He already owed Cui Qingfeng two hundred yuan, and he couldn't owe him any more.

So, Xu Zhao thought of Sister Yun from the steel mill, and the remaining three hundred and fifteen dollars in the popsicle contract. He had a bottom line in his heart, and went through all the things in his head before falling asleep.

The next morning, Xu Zhao got up very early as usual, made breakfast, had breakfast with Xu Fan, packed breakfast, fed chickens and ducks, locked the door of the house, then rode a bicycle and took Xu Fan to the county central hospital. , then went to Cui Qingfeng's house, made popsicles, and brought Xu Fan to the steel factory.

After the popsicles were delivered, she specially brought two special popsicles to Sister Yun.

Sister Yun asked with a smile, "Why didn't you come to deliver popsicles yesterday?"

Xu Zhao replied, "Yesterday, the village handed over public food, and my dad was hospitalized."

"Your father is in the hospital?" Sister Yun asked.

"Well, a stroke." Xu Zhao answered truthfully.

"Ouch." Sister Yun sighed and said, "How is it now?"

"Still in the hospital."

"It's unfortunate."

"Ok."

Xu Zhao thought for a while in his heart, and then said, "Sister Yun."

Sister Yun looked at Xu Zhao and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhao lowered his head slightly, still thinking about what to say, will he be rejected or something.
