Pamper Eighties

The old Feng family deposited all the money in the bank, and finally solved a problem. When they returned home and collected the passbook, the old man Feng discussed with his old wife: "Old lady, do you have any leftovers at home? Young and old, you can pick out some of the most in-demand ones and put them in the canteen later, I will sell the rest, and try to sell out this batch of goods as soon as possible, I have to hurry to the south to buy more."

Madam Feng patted the place where the passbook was kept and smoothed the quilt on it. She turned her head in confusion and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I went to see it a few days ago, and the batch of goods was still there. There are a lot of them, stay at home and sell them slowly."

Old man Feng was anxious to make money, so he explained the truth to her: "Wife, if our family sells out the goods earlier, we will be able to buy goods in the south earlier, and we will be able to make money earlier. But it’s all money. These days, I’m collecting rice, delivering public food, and entertaining tourists. I don’t have time to spare. I can’t delay like this anymore. I’ll go to the provincial capital with Lao Shi to sell goods tomorrow. "

The old man Feng made up his mind, and sure enough, he made an appointment with the old man Zhang early the next morning. The two old men rode bicycles to bring the goods and began to travel back and forth between the provincial capital and the village. It was like this for half a month. The goods of the two companies were almost sold, and the old Feng family also earned more than 20,000 yuan, plus the previous 30,000 yuan deposit, that is more than 50,000 yuan.

The old man Feng also thought about the use of the money, so he discussed with his wife and said, "I will use 50,000 yuan to buy goods, and the other money will be put into pockets at home. I plan to buy more goods this time, what goods are in short supply. I'll buy anything."

Madam Feng was a little surprised to hear such a large amount, "Old man, why are you buying so many goods? Can you sell them all?"

Old man Feng clearly had a plan in his mind, and he explained confidently: "It's already the end of October, and it will be November when I come back, and it's not far from the New Year's day. Madam, New Year's Day is not far away. That is the best time to sell. Some urbanites are reluctant to buy our goods at ordinary times, but they will also buy it during the Chinese New Year. They live in the city, and they can’t compare to other people’s homes, right? Good face, our goods will definitely sell well by then. Besides, the sellers in the south will also go home for the Chinese New Year. What if they buy too little and not enough? Is that true?"

Madam Feng nodded involuntarily and said, "That's true. Then our family brings 50,000 yuan. Do you know how much Lao Zhang's family pays?"

"It's more than our family. Lao Shishi has already told me that this time he will bring 60,000 yuan to him, and he will slap him hard. Their family has a total of 30,000 yuan to sell goods. There is still 30,000 yuan to sell watermelons, and this time all the preparations have been invested."

"Hey!" Madam Feng gasped, she covered her chest and said in disbelief, "I'm a darling, I really can't see it, this old Zhang's family is usually quiet, but he is so unbelievable. They made so much money, and the 60,000 yuan family is considered solid. I didn’t expect them to be so daring. They said they would take it all out. Although our family earns more than their family, it is We don't dare to put all the money in, tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect them to have such courage."

The old man Feng smiled and said, "Isn't it Zhang Dadan? Their family has been like this since their ancestors. There are too few people in the family and they can only rely on breaking through. There are many men in other families. Their family is a single handed down from nine generations. All of them are only seedlings. If they don’t work hard, they will be bullied to death sooner or later. Can you say that he is not too daring? Let’s be honest here, the old stone is quite good. Just know him, he gets along well with me, we can think of going together, and we can take care of each other when we go to the south, which is much better than others."

"I didn't say that he is a bad person. He has less family members, so he has a lot less twists and turns than other people's homes. This person's temper is much simpler. I don't have to worry about you going out with him. This time, 110,000 yuan, just relying on you two old men, you have to hurry and buy goods, if there is a contingency, ah, ah, ah, ah, old man, I'm just worried..."

Mrs. Feng wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say it, because she was afraid that the good and the bad might not work. The two old men were so old together. She said in her heart that she was not worried that it was fake. Unlike other people's wives, who only know how to make money for their own men, but don't know how to make men take care of their health, she and her old man are husband and wife for life, she doesn't feel bad for him, who else will? The expression on his face couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Old man Feng was also warm in his heart. Although he was already a man of age, it did not prevent him from feeling for his old wife. Having such a cold-hearted person who cares about him is better than marrying those beauties. It was so much better that I couldn't help but smiled and said, "Wife, your worry is a bit justified. In the past, we had little money, and no one would know if I just put it on my body, but this time our family will pay 50,000 yuan. , it has no place to hide so much money, it has to be packed in a package before it can be taken away, and there are all kinds of people on the train, if you are not careful, it may be stolen."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered another thing, and he thought about it casually: "By the way, old lady, there is one thing I haven't told you yet, the second child came to me to discuss it a few days ago, saying he My family also made 4,000 yuan from selling watermelons this time. He plans to take me to the south to buy some watermelons. The second child is a conscientious person. If you think it is suitable, I will take him with me. On the way It would be nice to have someone to take care of.”

When Mrs. Feng heard this, she was not happy, she pretended to be angry and gave him a shot, raised her eyebrows fiercely and said, "You **** old man, see what you said, I'm not a stepmother, since the second child If he is willing to pay his own capital, he is also considered ambitious. You are just taking him along. What can I object to? They are all my own children. Of course, I hope they can all have a good life. Then you take the second child Bring it, what are you going to do with the third child?"

The old man Feng opened his eyes and glanced at her secretly, and said something from a long time ago: "You may not know, the third child told me a long time ago, but he had no capital at that time. , I also rejected him, and I don't know what his thoughts are now. If he wants to go to the south with me, of course I am willing. Anyway, whoever takes him is not the one who will take him. The good fortune is good, no matter what it is, it is better than now, or I will ask him tomorrow?"

Madam Feng's mind was much brighter than that of her old man. She curled her lips and said with disdain: "What are you doing in such a hurry to go to his house? You don't even think about the virtue of the third family, if they are like Chunhua. Forget it, now people don't say a word, you send it to the door so eagerly, it seems that we are begging her to make money, in the future, the third child will earn more and less, and everyone has something to say, don't be so serious Okay?"

When old lady Feng said this, old man Feng was very surprised. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he said a little unhappily: "Then we really don't care about the third child? I said Feng'er, The third one's brain is a little hard to use, but after all, he is also our own, do you really plan to deny him?"

Madam Feng stood up in a hurry, she put a finger on her hips and poked hard, and said angrily, "Okay, so in your eyes, am I such a ruthless and unrighteous person? You said that his brain is not good. Of course, those of us with good brains are more careful than him. Don’t get rid of people who do good deeds at that time. If you want to be good to some people, just You have to show it clearly, you don't care about this matter, when I let out the wind, even if the third child is not in a hurry, his daughter-in-law will be in a hurry, you just wait and see, I don't know yet she?"

Mrs. Feng took the temperament of her third daughter-in-law very accurately. Once when Chen Hongmei was chatting with others, she accidentally heard her second daughter-in-law slip up. She kept her mind on the spot and returned home. After thinking about it carefully, she went to her mother-in-law to try again, and soon understood what was going on.

She got angry all of a sudden, wow, her uncle and second uncle's family have discussed to make money, but they still hide it from their family. Even if it was a stalker, she would let her man go with her.

When she got home, she quickly closed the door, took out a large bag of money from a very secret corner, took it out and counted it, there was a total of more than 2,800 yuan, Chen Hongmei had never seen so much money before. , A small part of this money is earned by entertaining tourists, but the bulk comes from watermelons.

It's strange to say that they also grow watermelons. The watermelons in her uncle's house are much larger than those in other villagers' houses, and the output is also much higher. She thinks that her uncle's family must choose the most fertile fields on the wasteland. After leaving, her family can only earn more than 2,000 yuan for four acres of land, but her uncle's family has 15 acres of land, and it is nearly tens of thousands of dollars. I am really jealous of her.

No, it can't be compared by them, and their family must also participate in this way of making money.

Chen Hongmei counted the money repeatedly, and calculated the amount of capital in her heart. At first, she only took out one thousand yuan. After hesitating for a while, she took another five hundred yuan. Finally, she gritted her teeth and took out two thousand yuan. The whole number of yuan, the remaining more than 800 yuan, was hidden by her again.

When Feng Laosan returned home, Chen Hongmei quickly told him the news: "Have you heard about the way the uncle's family makes money? Our father will bring the second uncle there this time, don't you have any ideas in your heart? ?"

Feng Laosan pursed his lips and said, "I just found out, my second brother told me that he would use all the money from their family's watermelon sales to do business with our father. I mentioned this before. Well, didn't our family have no capital at that time? Now our family has capital, I think we can do this business too. When I go and talk to my dad, he will definitely be willing to take me. Bring me all the money from the family, and I'll take it to my dad later to let him know that this time I really want to follow along to make money."

The corners of Chen Hongmei's mouth twitched in disdain. She took out a cloth pocket from the house with some pain, and handed it to Feng Lao San's hand and said, "Here you are, our family's money is all in it, you But you want to save me some flowers, don't be extravagant when you go out, you know?"

Feng Laosan opened it and took a look. The pocket was full of banknotes. He couldn't tell how many there were, so he asked his daughter-in-law, "How many are there in total? Have you counted them?"

Chen Hongmei closed her eyes with some guilt, and she muttered, "Don't you only make two thousand yuan from selling watermelons? It's all here."

"What? Why only 2,000 yuan? I clearly remember that it was 2,830 yuan and 50 cents. What about the extra 800 yuan? You can't eat it all? I counted the money myself. Yes, you can't be wrong, don't try to lie to me, take it out for me."

"What are you talking about? Am I still greedy for your money?"

Chen Hongmei opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself. As soon as she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of her family's man's fierce eyes, as if she wanted to eat her. She was cowardly in her heart, but she still insisted and said calmly, "Yes, our family is There are still more than 800 yuan, but you don’t think about it. If you go to the south with our father, our mother and son will also have to live. We have to spend money to buy everything we need to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt. If you don’t have money, you will let us eat and drink. What, do you want to eat the northwest wind? Five babies and six babies are your own sons. It won't be long before the Chinese New Year. This year, I plan to make two beautiful new clothes for both of them, and I will also make two for you. I will buy some new things for the house. Anyway, I won’t be able to use it on my own. I don’t care. I can survive even if I eat rotten vegetables, but we can’t suffer for two babies and leave more than 800 The bucks are still small, if you want me to say you have to add another 800 yuan, I didn't give you so much because you went to the south to work hard?"

Feng Laosan stared into her eyes tightly, seeing that she was neither dodging nor dodging, and then he believed it, but he still said in a hard voice, "You can keep the money if you really want to, but I warn you. , you are not allowed to take the money back to your mother's house, if you let me know when I come back, you can go as far as you want, and we can't serve you anymore."

Chen Hongmei was not affected by him at all, and said in a good voice: "I know, I haven't gone back for a long time, I have figured it out now, no matter how much my parents kiss, I can't kiss my own son. Anyway, these money are left for your son to spend. I am their biological mother. Do you even suspect me about this? No matter what I do, I will not treat my son badly. For those two thousand yuan, you still have to pay me back. Do you want it?"

Feng Laosan said with some relief: "Bring it to me, I'll go talk to our dad now."

Chen Hongmei sent her man out of the yard. She stood at the door and looked out. Then she raised her mouth and smiled a little proudly, hum, of course, more than 800 yuan must be left to her son to spend a little, and the rest is just right You can take it back to her mother's house. The last time her mother's brother came to ask for money and didn't ask for it, she didn't give her a good look. Alas, her brothers are all idiots, and her mother's parents must have a hard life. Now she If you have money, you must be filial and filial to them. This woman is only reliable if she has her own family. Anyway, she is in charge of this family. How much it costs to buy things is not up to her to say. , he Feng Laosan knows shit.

Feng Laosan excitedly came to the eldest brother's house next door. It happened that his father was sitting in the hall to enjoy the cool air after dinner. He ran over and tore off the cloth pocket and said eagerly, "Dad, what I told you last time. , didn't you say that I have no capital? Now I have money too. My family made two thousand yuan from selling watermelons. I brought all this money. Do you think you can take me to the south to make money? "

Old man Feng glanced aside at his old wife. It seems that this old woman is really able to do it. The third child of his family rushed over, and he sat on the chair and said with the old god: "The third child Ah, it’s okay to take you to make money, but you have to have rules. You have to listen to my arrangements when you go outside. You can do whatever I ask you to do. Don’t run around on your own, and don’t talk to others blindly. You have seen the liar surnamed Wang. There are many liars like him out there. Just your brain, don't count the money for others when they are sold, do you hear? If you can keep the rules, I'll take you with me."

He didn't mind that Feng Laosan was killed by his father in front of him. Anyway, his father and mother were always like this. He was already used to it. As long as his father was willing to bring him to make money, he hurriedly agreed to come down. .

Old man Feng saw his stupid appearance, and couldn't help but exhort again: "Old third, let's leave in a few days, you have taken care of everything at home, and all the crops that should be harvested in the fields will be given to you. Take it up, or else the man in the family will leave. With your wife's laziness, the crops will be rotted in the ground by then. You don't know yet. Go home first, and wait for your elder brother's house to get it as well. Well, I'll take you to the south."

Satisfied, Feng Laosan took the big cloth pocket and went back to the next door. Chen Hongmei came up to inquire and said, "What the **** is my dad talking about? Has he promised you?"

Feng Laosan rolled his eyes and said, "What else can I say? That's my father. Of course he will take me with him if he has a way to make money."

He walked outside the main room and looked at the sun in the sky, and when he came back, he ordered: "Daughter-in-law, I will be leaving in a few days. The sweet potatoes and sugar cane in our family haven't been collected yet, so bring your hoe. , Take advantage of the good weather now, go collect some with me first, and we will be busy for two more days tomorrow and the day after, and it will be almost the same."

Chen Hongmei took two steps to stick her head out, and when she saw the bright sunlight outside the house, she felt anxious in her heart. The crops in those fields are only worth a few dollars, and she, Chen Hongmei, is a little disdainful, and she doesn't want to go out to bask in the sun at this noon.

She immediately narrowed her eyes and lowered her waist, and said with a weak look: "Oh, my head hurts a little, my stomach hurts a little too, I think I can't do it anymore, I have to lie down on the bed. , it must have been hurt by harvesting the rice a few days ago."

Of course Feng Laosan knew the virtues of the person next to him, but he wouldn't be accustomed to her. Why don't you have to work? You don't want to do it, why don't you let me do it alone? Look at any family in the village where only men collect sweet potatoes, stop dawdling here, pick up your **** and follow me, Without the life of the landlord's lady, I have the disease of the landlord's lady, and I'm so used to you that I can't even look at it."

Chen Hongmei was so angry that she couldn't keep pretending any longer, so she dragged her body, pretended to be weak and followed, and went to the field to be exhausted.

In this golden autumn and October, the villagers of Taoyuan Village have ushered in the joy of a bumper harvest. Of course, the old Feng family is no exception. With Mengmeng’s help, their family will have a bumper harvest this year. The sugarcane in the field is growing very well. , Old Man Feng helped to collect all the sugar cane at home, boiled them all into brown sugar, and collected the two mu of sweet potatoes. He was busy with the family affairs, so he brought his two sons with him. Old man Zhang went to the south.

The work in the fields is finally over, and Taoyuan Village has also entered a rare slack season. Not only the adults are very free, but the little ones are even more free. Except for the older children who have to go to school, other children have time. Finally, Can go crazy.

In the afternoon of this day, the little dolls of the old Feng family had been fiddling around in the kitchen at home for a long time, and they came to the backyard of the canteen with a big bamboo basket, where a stove was set up and an earthen kiln was built. After starting the barbecue, the grilled things are quite rich, not only grilled sweet potatoes, grilled corn, grilled leeks, but also kiln deer legs, kiln sea fish, kiln sea shrimp, etc., and even baked a lot of bamboo rice.

They mixed the washed rice with the diced meat and put it into a split bamboo tube. When it was cooked and opened, the rice inside was crystal clear, exuding a fragrance of bamboo and diced meat. The little dolls couldn't help but drool.

Everyone couldn't wait to transfer all the food to the canteen. Mrs. Feng had already helped them make watermelon smoothie, and put a cup on the table for each person. The little dolls sat down and started to eat. It was like a festival. Everyone was very happy. .

Yang Xiaojuan came in from outside the house with a big sea bowl in her hand, put down the big sea bowl and said, "his old aunt, I made too many croquettes at home, thinking about the number of babies in your family, so I brought it to you, Don't be polite to me, just grab it and taste it."

The little dolls ate it unceremoniously, and the old lady Feng also ate one with a smile, and said with praise: "Guangming's, your croquettes are well done, they are made of fish, shrimp and meat. Is it made of white radish? Well, you have the craftsmanship. Your color is also very golden brown, and it tastes delicious. Thank you very much."

Yang Xiaojuan covered her mouth and smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "His old aunt, you are so polite to say that, my brother Rui often comes to your house to eat and drink, how many times have I told him, he You are very thick-skinned and always refuse to listen to me, which makes me feel embarrassed. Your family are all kind people and don’t care about me. To be honest, I really want to thank you.”

While talking, Yang Xiaojuan glared at her son with her eyes. She didn't expect that this kid would ignore her, and was still diligently feeding Mengmeng croquettes. What a foolish son without a wink.

Madam Feng laughed, and was about to say a few words of modesty, when she suddenly heard a male voice from the door of her canteen: "Yo, it's pretty good."

She followed the voice and looked over. There was a tall figure at the door. He was standing very straight in a green military uniform. It turned out to be Officer Lei who came to her house a long time ago.
