A Rural Life in the 70s

When Xiaoqiu discovered that she hadn’t seen Xiaofen for a few days, she would say hello to Xiaofen after school, but the other party had ignored her. The girl’s emotions and grievances make Xiaoqiu somewhat embarrassed, and there is no regret but no help.

After school, the autumn wind is getting cold. After two weeks of class, I started another twenty days of autumn vacation.

Autumn is the season of busy harvesting. It is hard and tired, but full of satisfaction and joy of harvest.

This year's autumn harvest, Xiaodong has been nearly two years old, can swing and walk behind the adults, Wang Limin and Song Xiulian with three children to work together.

In the peanuts, Wang Limin digs his head in the front and digs out the peanuts. Xiaoqiu is behind the ground and piles up. Song Xiulian wears old clothes and is responsible for carrying the good peanuts to the ground. Xiao Xia shouldered the responsibility of caring for his younger brother Xiao Dong. Song Xiulian gave the younger brothers a belt around their waists. Xiao Xia led his younger brother to pick up the fallen peanuts behind the adults. After collecting a piece of land, Xiao Xia won Half a bag of peanuts, Xiaodong actually smashed a large hand, with half a catty of peanuts. The face of the little things was covered with dirt and dust, mixed with sweat and a stroke of a stroke, like a painted cat, but he did not care about these, but also happily followed the second sister to the team to pay for peanuts.

The captain and the militia in the team stared at the members who had been working from the ground. The eyes were comparable to the X-ray machine, and they were strictly guarded against which one secretly hid the food in the team. I can wait until I see a doll less than two years old swinging and swinging, and when I am struggling to send a peanut with a pocket, several adults are a glimpse, and then they laugh.

Ni Shun, who is in charge of the record, inevitably remembers the son he was sent away. Some of his heart is not a taste. His tone is sour and sour: "Wang Lao Er’s mother is a good life and has a good son!"

The captain Zheng Chengtian has stopped the peanuts handed down by Xiaodong and reached out to touch the brain door of Xiaodong. He said, "Oh, Xiaodong will also lick peanuts! It’s too good, it’s a good boy. OK, this time, the uncle is the master. Give these peanuts to you! Don't pay!"

Xiaodong, who got the reward, couldn't understand the love of the captain's uncle. He only used his own peanuts. People don't want to... He is very tired and tired, and he is very wronged!

Xiaodong glared at the captain who didn't accept his peanuts, and then looked at a group of people around him laughing. Looking back at his second sister, Xiao Xia was talking to Ni Xiaofang, not paying attention to his brother's help... Then, the helpless and sad Xiaodong classmate finally couldn’t help but cry: "Wow... Mother..."

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the beans and peanuts were all collected, and the team announced that they would release the autumn. Wang Limin took the opportunity to send four hundred chickens and five hundred pounds of eggs into the county.

Xiaoqiu's family is not bad for peanuts and beans, so he didn't follow the ground. Instead, he went to the county with Wang Limin.

Near the festival, all kinds of meat, vegetables, grain and oil are particularly tight. Many people take out the oil stamps that have been smashed for half a year, and go to the grain station to buy oil in the oil bottle, so that they can get oily stars during the festival. Some people took the grain to the grain station to buy the fine grain white noodles, and prepared to eat white dumplings or steamed a few steamed buns...

Xiaoqiu excuses to buy stationery and books, so that Wang Limin put her at the door of the department store, but Chenghai has to go to the factory to send chicken and eggs. Xiaoqiu got off, Chenghai still didn't feel relieved: "Autumn, you will buy a pencil in the department store. After you buy it, wait here. I will pick you up after I have finished sending things. You want to go there again. Wait, let us come back and go with you."

Although it is not really a child, I am very touched by my brother's concern. Xiaoqiu is very cleverly carrying his hand and nodding his head: "Big brother, don't worry, I am waiting here, nowhere!"

Watching Wang Limin drive away with a tractor, Xiaoqiu did not enter the department store, but turned to go to the residential area not far away.

She didn't dare to go to the county party's family. She was afraid to meet an acquaintance. Instead, she went to another residential area of ​​the county. The people here have staff from various companies, and some workers in the factory have less spending power than their families. Side, but also better than the village people.

Xiaoqiu went to two hutongs and met two aunts carrying a basket of vegetables. She took out a bottle of soybean oil at the corner and went over to ask. The two aunts agreed to surprise. In order to avoid being found to report, one of the aunts told Xiaoqiu’s address, and then went back together.

Xiaoqiu pretended to go home and took two barrels of oil back. She used the plastic bucket she had prepared before, ten pounds a barrel, a total of twenty pounds. At this time, the price is flat, and the supply price of the superior soybean oil is only ninety-two. Of course, Xiaoqiu does not need oil tickets, and the price is naturally higher. According to one account, twenty kilograms of soybean oil sold for twenty-two dollars.

After receiving the money to leave, Xiaoqiu suddenly saw the aunt's small yard corner, there are a few old porcelain jars, old and even damaged. It is not good to sell, but Xiaoqiu It’s hard to be excited. It’s the little bowl, the white background, the painting of a big cock, really like the legendary bucket color chicken cup!

Xiaoqiu replaced seven or eight large and small porcelain jars with five pounds of rice. There are two porcelain jars on the side that are the kind of pickled pickles. The other ones look good in porcelain, but they are all damaged. The most serious blue-and-white wide-mouthed bottle is the most serious. It should have been. The trumpet bottle mouth has disappeared, and Xiao Qiu has also received it.

The fat aunt is a kind person. He only feels that he is a cheaper child. He can't bear it. He took out a big red banana apple from the house and stuffed it into Xiaoqiu's arms.

Another aunt came home to put oil and get the money back. Seeing this situation, envious of the heart, quickly pulled Xiaoqiu and said that their family also had some shabby porcelain, and asked Xiaoqiu whether or not.

Xiaoqiu was secretly happy, but she said that she was going to have a look. Some of them said that she liked the bottles and cans. She didn’t let her house, but she also sneaked back to play.

A child took soy oil and rice to change it. He said that adults don't know that no one believes, and no one would think that these things are children's own things and have nothing to do with family. Listening to Xiaoqiu’s saying that the aunt lost most of her mind’s thoughts on the cheaper ones, only praying for the few broken bottles of the family’s own can make the little girl look good, so that they can change two kilograms of rice. The broken things used can change a pound of rice, and it is stronger than throwing it!
