Dashan Makes a Living 1984

When he woke up the next day, Wang Tianxiao didn't see the two kittens, and when he put on his shoes, he found that they were hiding in his shoes, sleeping soundly.

He rubbed the little guy's heads, lifted them up and put them on the kang.

"Chi slip." The kitten narrowed its eyes, but got into the quilt extremely quickly, lay down beside Wang Fang and continued to snore.

Li Yali also woke up at this time, squinting her eyes and asked, "Shopkeeper, why are you up so early?"

"It's getting late," Wang Tianxiao pointed out the window with a smile, "It's already dawn, I'm going to make some cages for catching rabbits and pheasants and put them in the mountains."

"Oh," Li Yali didn't understand the things in the mountains, she struggled to sit up, "Then I'll help you heat up the steamed buns, and you can eat some with pickles. It's too early to know how to cook."

Wang Tianxiao gently put her down on the kang.

"Don't bother, I'm not hungry now. You have to rest well, the child should be a matter of this week, and it will be your hard work then."

Li Yali smiled, "Having a baby, there is nothing that is not difficult, as long as I can give you a big fat son, I will not be afraid of being tired."

Wang Tianxiao smiled again.

He found that after he was reborn, he especially liked to laugh, not the kind of happiness that had expectations for future life, but seeing his wife, seeing his daughter, and even eating the cornmeal buns that he thought were dry and difficult to swallow before. happy.

He feels alive.

In his previous life, he had already been crushed by life, exhausted his spirit, and turned into a walking dead.

Exhausted.

Difficulties are always one after another. Suffering is like a mountain. After turning over a smooth road that is temporarily flat in front of you, you can turn over and find that there is a higher mountain ahead.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Yali asked.

"Nothing, just happy to see you."

"It's really you, you." Li Yali felt the love in her husband's eyes, and smiled shyly.

"Let's go."

Wang Tianxiao turned and went out.

Remembering what he said last night, he directly led the three dogs to the cliff and tied them to a big apricot tree at home.

The big apricot tree is surrounded by alfalfa fields, and the front, rear, left, and right sides are far away from the road. No one will run across half of the alfalfa fields to provoke the dogs, and there should be no more troubles.

The three dogs seemed a little unconvinced and unwilling to be tied up, but Wang Tianxiao had a friendly communication with them and told them that this was all temporary, and that they would be set free when they lived in the mountains later.

That's what makes them quiet.

Wang Tianxiao went down again and rode his bicycle to the town.

I bought a set of fitter's tools, including four coils of iron wire, some thin coiled wire, and some thin steel bars. These are the necessary materials for him to make a cage.

It's a bit heavy, and it's heavy to hang on the back of the car.

If it weren't for the strong bearing capacity of the aggravated bicycle, it might not be able to hold it.

It's just not as easy to ride.

On the way back, he bought a few locks by the way, and the locks of those rooms in the mountains had to be changed.

It cost him more than 100 yuan to go through these materials again and again.

However, this is a necessary investment. If you are lucky, you can earn back the harvest in one day.

In the 1980s, people had a different way of thinking about business than later generations.

In this era, people think that the better things are, the easier it is to sell, so you get what you pay for, and there are very few things with inflated values.

And decades later, sales have shifted from a demand-side market to a seller-side market.

It is not what you want, what I will sell you, but what I have, what you need.

All kinds of luxury goods, some trendy cultures, elements, a cup of autumn milk tea that everyone should have, etc.

These commodities not only have their own value, but also have other artificial values ​​attached to them, so they have a higher premium.

This is the basic model of postmodern business.

Even though Wang Tianxiao has never done business again, he has been deeply influenced by it and participated in it as a consumer countless times.

Therefore, he will always be much more advanced than the thinking mode of this era.

And as long as this is enough, he is enough to be at the forefront of the times.

Back in the pit yard, the family of the third child and the fifth child also came back.

They just went to work in the production team to earn work points.

In 1984, Qingcheng was in a period of change, and the old and new policies coexisted. On the one hand, some villagers could already contract land from the village leaders, plant their own land, and then pay the public grain for the autumn harvest.

But there are still some people, such as those who are super born, just married, etc., who have no land for the time being, and can go to the village or the land on the team to earn work points.

This state did not last long, probably because the land was redistributed shortly after the Chinese New Year. Li Yali was only allocated two acres of land in her previous life, and her daughter Wang Fang was allocated three acres of land.

As for his son, Wang Peng, who is a superborn, also known as a black household, not only cannot register, but also has no qualifications for land distribution.

It was not until he was 17 or 18 that Wang Peng was allocated one mu of land. During these years, the family only had three mu of land combined with his wife and daughter, and there was not enough food to eat.

When they met each other, the old couple saw that Wang Tianxiao didn't speak, and Yu Xiaofeng, the hanged ghost, had his eyes downcast, as if others had eaten their food and didn't pay for it.

Naturally, he didn't bother to pay attention to this superb couple.

Lao Wu and several others went in, and then he pointed out in a low voice: "Brother, look at that hanged ghost."

Wang Tianxiao bent his index finger and tapped Wang Tiancheng's head, "Don't talk nonsense."

"There's no such thing as nonsense, it's what it is." Wang Tiancheng's character is actually very gentle and honest, he rarely speaks behind his back, but he also hates Yu Xiaofeng very much.

Wang Tianxiao smiled, turned around and unloaded things from the bicycle.

"Brother, why did you buy so much wire?"

"Make a cage."

"What are you pretending... Oh, I see." Wang Tiancheng understood immediately, leaned his head against the tree next to him, and stepped forward to help Wang Tianxiao start lifting the steel bar.

Wang Tiancheng is a young man, and with his help, unloading the truck really became a lot easier.

The two carried the things down first, and then carried them into the cave dwelling of Wang Tianxiao's house together.

Li Yali was making lunch, so she asked Wang Tiancheng to eat together later.

The lunch was quite hearty, it was stewed noodles with rabbit meat.

The taste of rabbit meat was mediocre, but under Li Yali's superb cooking skills, a strong fragrance came out.

The staple food is steamed buns, and the soup is leek and egg soup.

Chives are salty leeks that are pickled when winter first arrives.

The temperature here is more than 20 degrees below zero in winter, and almost no vegetables can survive, so people mainly rely on pickles and kimchi in winter.

Vegetables that can be marinated and pickled include radishes, leeks, cabbage, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, beans and so on.

It can be said that everything can be soaked.

Wang Tiancheng was also polite, and took the chopsticks as soon as he sat down. He and his second brother and second sister-in-law have always been very close, so there is no need to see each other.
