Pamper Eighties

Time flies fast. In a blink of an eye, most of April has passed. Tourists are still coming and going. People in Taoyuan Village are still living their old days, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

In the evening, the sun on the horizon is like a red duck egg with hairy edges. It is still swaying its heat continuously, dyeing the clouds in the sky red. It looks like the sky is on fire. Also plated in a beautiful rose colour.

After Mrs. Feng had dinner, she sat in the yard with her grandchildren to enjoy the cool air. They took out their short-sleeved clothes and put them on. Mrs. Feng also kept a fan with a palm leaf in her hand. The wind was blowing, and she still felt a little hot, so she said, "This year's weather is really hell. It's not even May yet, why is it suddenly so hot? Look at the burning clouds in the sky, Tomorrow will definitely be hotter than today, even if it's hot, it's still stuffy and it won't rain, making everyone sweat, it's really uncomfortable, and I don't know how your grandfather is doing in the south. It must be hotter than us here."

Madam Feng was feeling sorry for her old man when she heard her granddaughter sitting next to her say with a smile, "Grandpa is back."

"What? Your grandfather is back, how do you know Mengmeng?" Madam Feng was feeling a little strange when she heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the door, and then her old man really pushed open the door and walked in. It's really amazing, no wonder people say that the mouth of the little baby is the most intelligent, and what you say is what it is.

Madam Feng stood up happily and greeted her old man, and said with concern: "Old man, you are finally back, have you eaten yet? Would you like to cook something for you? The second and third What? Did you come back with you? Hey, why didn't you bring anything back this time? What's going on? Old man, did something happen on the way?"

Seeing that his wife was getting more and more anxious, Old Man Feng quickly patted her hand and said, "Nothing happened, nothing happened on the way, the second and third are back, I asked them to go back to their own. At home, we quietly went back to the village this time, and we didn't bring anything with us, we left it all in the provincial capital."

Madam Feng felt a little relieved when she heard this. It was really strange that her old man came back. In the past, he used several trucks to deliver goods to his house. This time, he only brought back a large box. She still carried the zipper, and was easily dragged away by her old man. When she took a closer look at the wheels underneath, Mrs. Feng couldn't hold back her curiosity and said, "Old man, what's going on? What's in your box?"

Dawa very cleverly ran to the house and brought a small stool, and the old man Feng walked over and sat down, smiling and saying to the family: "We have bought a little more goods this time, and every time we use large The liberation transport to the village is too eye-catching. Besides, in the end, it is not all about moving to the provincial capital to sell it. Every time I move around, I get too tired, so I just put it all in the provincial capital. He and Lao Shishi rented a large warehouse behind the factory over there, and we put it there for the time being. It is convenient for us to use it at ordinary times. Before we came back, we had dinner in the provincial capital, so you don’t have to work anymore.”

Madam Feng nodded and said, "That's fine, what kind of goods did you bring back?"

Old Man Feng pulled the big box to his lap, opened the zipper and said with a smile, "It's almost the same as before, and there are some novel things, all of which have just come out from the south, and I'll give them to us too. Bring some back, Mengmeng, what did grandpa buy for you?"

Old Man Feng took out a few tin cans from the box and said, "These are canned luncheon meat, and these are canned condensed milk. They are all rare foods imported from Hong Kong. They are very expensive. I bought some and came back. Give us Mengmeng a taste, and if Mengmeng eats well, I'll bring you some more next time I go to the south."

Mengmeng held the can of condensed milk curiously and looked at it carefully. She couldn't understand a single word on the can, but she understood the cow above. She saw it last time she went to the city. The milk she drinks every day is squeezed from this animal, so she nodded happily and said, "I like it."

Madam Feng also researched the canned food and handed it to her curious grandchildren, and said to her old man, "This canned food is not bad. Before, when Yimin went on a business trip to the south, he got a few canned fruits. , Mengmeng is cute and eats that stuff, she must also like these cans, is this condensed milk made of milk?"

"Well, I heard that it is extracted from milk. I don't know how to do it. Anyway, the person who sold it to me said that this condensed milk can be mixed with milk to drink, or it can be used to flush water alone. , it's even better than that malted milk essence."

Old man Feng also took out a few bright little clothes from the box, and handed them to Mengmeng as a gift, saying, "Grandpa also bought you a lot of new clothes, all of which are the most popular little skirts in the south. The weather is much hotter than ours here. New clothes are on the market. Grandpa will bring you a few sets. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough to wear. ."

Mengmeng was holding those little skirts with joy, and her eyes were so beautiful that her eyes were bent, she was so happy.

The eldest baby and the second baby also looked at their grandfather eagerly and bought a gift for their sister. They mustn't forget the two of them. Of course, old man Feng didn't forget it. He handed them the big box and said, "This is a small train imported from Hong Kong. It can be assembled with tracks. You can take it and think about it for yourself. Just don't break it."

The big baby and the second baby got the big box, and their faces were about to smile like fools. Such a novel big toy must be very interesting. Old man Feng tapped them on the head and let them play aside, cute. Meng also followed curiously, squatting on the ground and watching the brothers assemble the track.

Dawa and Erwa took out the plastic inside the big box in the same way, and quickly figured out the pattern. They arranged the tracks in numerical order, and then assembled them one by one, which became an undulating track. The oval train track is still on the ground in the air. Mengmeng put the little train on it carefully, and it turned along the track, from one end to the other, and was able to wear it by herself. Over obstacles, even turning over will not fall, such a magical high-end toy, instantly conquered the hearts of the little dolls, making them keep shouting and shouting happily.

Old man Feng looked at his grandchildren with a smile, and whispered to his old wife: "I have put the refrigerator and color TV in our house in the warehouse in the provincial capital, and I will bring it back tomorrow, except for In our family, Lao Shi and I have bought two sets of TV sets and VCRs in total. I plan to expand the business of the video hall, but it won't last long. Let's do it for another half a year at most. You can resell it, and you won’t lose money no matter what.”

Madam Feng shot a mosquito to death with her fan, and handed the fan to her old man. She stood up and said, "You can take care of business matters. I'll burn some hot water for you to bathe. , this **** weather can kill a person, so go back to your room and sleep after you shower."

Chen Hongmei, who lived next door, also heard the frolic in the uncle's yard. She rolled her eyes and thought secretly in her heart, it must be that her father-in-law took out the money from the private house and bought it for some of the uncle's dolls. What a rare good thing, hum, I know that she is partial to the uncle's family. If it wasn't getting late, she would definitely drive her five and six children to the uncle's house. They are the grandsons of the old Feng family. Share it together, you can't lose them.

As for herself, it doesn't matter. When she brings down the girl in her stomach, is she afraid that her parents-in-law won't subsidize her great hero? That's almost impossible. Look at her parents-in-law's rudeness towards Mengmeng. If she gave birth to a daughter, her treatment would definitely be different. Her belly is already very big now, and she should give birth in two months. Now, she has been trying her best to eat for a while, for fear of starving the girl in her stomach, that is, life is getting better now, otherwise how can she afford those good things, she eats hard, and the whole person is It's like blowing up a balloon and gaining a lot of weight. This is a blessing that others can't ask for.

Her parents didn't come to see her for so long. Chen Hongmei was angry and annoyed in her heart, but it didn't matter. She had money in her hand, so she could buy whatever she wanted, and eat whatever she liked. Thinking about it like this, she used to have a hole in her head, and she didn't care about what the white-eyed wolves of her mother's family were doing. She could live her own life well, and she wished to be as far away from her mother's family as possible. This girl in her belly is a blessing. Yes, the days of being pregnant at home were just fine. Feng Lao San was going to divorce her, because the girl in her belly also gave up her mind. Chen Hongmei paid more attention to her belly and stroked it very lovingly. She had already done it. I have a good plan. When the girl in my belly comes down, I will give her to my parents-in-law to keep her. This kind of affection from childhood to adulthood is called affection, otherwise I will be compared by that little girl Mengmeng, she The father-in-law and the mother-in-law have such a large amount of private money in their hands. Although she doesn't know how much, it must be more than her family's. When the time comes, the daughters of her family can also get a share. This child comes at a good time.

Feng Laosan walked into the room after taking a shower, and stood shirtless in front of the closet looking for clothes. Chen Hongmei didn't go to help him, but just sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Dad, why didn't you bring the goods when you came back this time? Take it home? What did you bring back? Have you bought all the clothes I asked you to buy for our daughter?"

Feng Laosan frowned. He didn't really want to pay attention to her. It was because he had already lost trust in this daughter-in-law. "Why are you asking about this? Stay at home and raise your baby. You don't have to worry about things outside. I have my own plans. It's all about the money you spend. If you want to buy clothes, go to the old Zhang's shop. Buy, her clothes are imported from the south, the baby in your belly hasn't been born yet, you can't tell if it's a boy or a girl, why don't you prepare clothes for it now?"

"Bah, bah, it's not good. The girl in my stomach is definitely a girl. If you don't believe me, you will see it in the future." Chen Hongmei was not affected by his attitude at all. Although her family's men are not very pleasant, they are still the same. I care about her, not all because of the girl in her belly. She is really a lucky and good girl. When you are born in the future, Mom will definitely love you the most. Oops, she moved, and her belly suddenly bulged. He quickly took Feng Lao San's hand and put it on his stomach, and said excitedly, "Touch it, it was your daughter who kicked me just now, and it's still moving, talk to her. "

Feng Laosan is a rough man. It would be too demanding to expect him to have any special feelings. In fact, he didn't feel anything at all. He felt that he was so stupid, so he took his hand back from her belly. Still worried and asked, "I ask you, have you cooked well for Wuwa and Liuwa during my absence?"

"Of course there is," Chen Hongmei boasted without thinking: "I cook for them in different ways every day, and they both eat well every day. Haven't you seen them all gaining weight? They're all about to change. He has become a little fat man, don’t you know, Liuwa’s runny nose was also cured by me. I boiled Ganoderma lucidum potion for him every day, and he was cured within a few days after drinking it. This is all me. credit."

Chen Hongmei is thick-skinned, she just takes the credit of her mother-in-law to herself, and she doesn't want to think that if she was a demon without her, would Liuwa get such a disease? The reason why Liuwa is sick is not all because of her. Don't care about being a mother.

Feng Laosan didn't know very well about the family affairs, and she was really fooled by her. He couldn't help but glance at the woman. If she wanted to live a good life, he wouldn't have to worry about the family affairs. In bed, thinking that tomorrow I have to work hard to make money, I slowly closed my eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, the three fathers and sons of the old Feng family went to the provincial capital to do business. Feng Yimin also came to his own fields to work on watermelons and fruit trees. It will soon be Labor Day. Some of his watermelons are ripe Early, just in time for this good day, he has to protect them well and prepare to transport them to the provincial capital to sell before Labor Day, and then a large sum of money will come into the account.

This time, I have to add the peaches in the orchard. It may really be because of the good soil and water. Since the peach tree in his family was planted, he has not usually taken care of it, but it has grown very well. It was big and heavy, each one was as big as his fist, and weighed more than a pound. The huge peach only needed to tear off the skin gently, and the inside was full of sweet peach flesh, and the juice was overflowing when you took a bite. I don’t know how many times better than when it was wild before. Even Professor Hao from the province couldn’t explain the reason. Can sell for a price.

His father and his mother are still working hard for the family, and he can't be lazy. He usually does all the work in the fields. He made so much money from selling watermelons last year. In his heart, he is still very proud, especially since the money he earned has been deposited into Mengmeng. Whenever he thinks of this, Feng Yimin feels particularly proud, seeing that he can also save money for his daughter's dowry.

Feng Yimin worked all day in his own fields, working from morning till night. When the sun was about to go down, he and the villagers finished work and went home for dinner. When they came back from outside the village, they met sitting on a tricycle. The old man Feng, there were still three huge cardboard boxes beside him, so crowded that he didn't even have a place to sit. He could only stand on the edge of the truck and hold the cardboard boxes to barely stand still.

People in the village saw him from a long distance, and hurriedly ran up to surround him and said, "Oh, old village chief, I didn't see you taking things when you came back yesterday, so I said how is it possible, so you only took them today. Come back, what did you put in this car? Why are there so few things this time?"

The old man Feng jumped out of the car and said, "Business is not easy to do. The same is true for people in the south. Every business needs capital. My family doesn't have that much capital, so I can only do some other small businesses. Don't worry, if anyone wants to see it, come with me to the canteen, and I'll show it to you on the spot."

Hearing old man Feng speak so forthrightly, the people in the village were a little surprised. He was not so good at talking before. When he came back from the south, he didn't hide it, and he was afraid that they would find out, but this time he was very generous. Let them go to see, then they should take a good look at what medicine is being sold in his gourd, and make up their minds, the villagers followed with curiosity.

Feng Yimin also followed and asked his father to stand next to him to rest. He and the driver of the tricycle took a lot of effort to move the three cardboard boxes into the canteen, and ran to get a pair of scissors to open the cardboard boxes. Son, after removing the white foam board inside, a brand-new refrigerator was presented to everyone. It was square and silver-white in color. Looking inside, I couldn't see anything, so I said curiously: "What is this? Old village chief, tell us quickly, I'm going to die of curiosity."

The old man Feng sat on the chair with a knife, grabbed the straw hat on top of his head in his hand and fanned the wind slowly, and said with a slight smile on his face: "This is a refrigerator made in Japan, just now. Imported from Hong Kong, summer is coming, now the weather is hot enough, it is a good season to eat ice, this refrigerator can make ice cubes, popsicles and popsicles, eat in this big summer A bite of ice, not to mention how refreshing it is, if you want to eat it in the future, you can come to my shop, and keep it fresh."

Madam Feng also smiled and said to the villagers, "I can start making popsicles when I wash this refrigerator tomorrow. You are welcome to take care of my family's business."

Mrs. Feng said it very confidently. She is very experienced now. It is not easy to make a popsicle. If you want something richer, you can mix the fruit into fruit juice, throw a bamboo skewer in it and freeze it. It turns into a delicious fruit popsicle. There is a simpler method, which is to directly use sugar water to make popsicles. It tastes sweet, but it is actually a large piece of ice. In this way, many little dolls in the village like to eat it, not to mention the little dolls of tourists. Now, even adults have something they like to eat, and they don't worry about not being able to sell it. In the future, her ice-cream room will definitely be more lively. Madam Feng thinks about the banknotes that are about to be handed, and her heart is full of joy.

The villagers heard that this is a refrigerator, but it was not too shocking. This thing is similar to the American ice drink machine. , at least the ice drink machine can make ice cubes and ice soda. This old Feng family's people are really burning with money. They bought such a useless machine without fear of wasting money.

When Feng Yimin opened the second big box, the eyes of the villagers were all round. Now they are no longer ignorant countrymen. Soon someone recognized the machine and immediately shouted loudly: "Hey, old village chief, so you bought a TV. Oh my god, you are so capable, I bought this TV for you too. It's expensive, right? I remember. The third cousin of the granddaughter's granddaughter of my second uncle's uncle, he also has this kind of TV at home, or he took a lot of effort to get it back from abroad, uncle, you are really amazing, this thing You can get it back, I have never watched TV, when will you show it to us?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding villagers all looked at Old Man Feng with expectant eyes. They wanted to hear what he would say. He would probably refuse. If they had such an expensive machine at home, they would definitely be reluctant to give it to them. others see.

Unexpectedly, the old man Feng smiled kindly and said, "It's not easy for you to watch it. Have you seen the side room of my house? I opened a small door outside, and the TV will be placed there in the future. Who wants to watch it? You can come here, you are welcome to come watch TV at my house."

The villagers were so happy that they almost fainted, and immediately exaggerated: "Old village chief, you are so open-minded, you are the most generous person in our Taoyuan Village..."

"Don't be in a hurry to praise me for being generous," Old Man Feng waved his hand with a smile and said, "You have also seen this machine, it cost me a lot of money, and almost emptied all the money in my family. I have borrowed money from many relatives in the commune just to buy this machine. Of course, I can't give it to you for free. Now the business outside is not easy to do. I can't do anything about it. The family always has to live, right? So I I plan to open a video room here. It will be opened in those side rooms. It will play Hong Kong movies that you have never seen before. Keep it safe and you will like it once. If you want to watch it again, who are you? If you are interested and you are willing to spend ten dollars, you can come in and watch a Hong Kong movie."

The villagers were frightened by his fright, and the villager who spoke at the beginning stammered, "What are you talking about, uncle? Watching a movie, Juju actually costs ten yuan? It's too outrageous, isn't it? I go to the provincial capital to watch a movie for only a few cents, where do I need ten dollars?"

People in the village also looked at Old Man Feng with strange eyes, thinking that he was crazy. It cost ten dollars to watch a movie? Why doesn't he go grab it?

Old Man Feng rolled his eyes to the sky, spread out his hands and said rudely, "It's so tiring to talk to someone like you who doesn't know anything, do you know how much I paid for this TV and VCR? I came out to scare you. In short, it's a lot more than you think. You can watch such an expensive machine for free? How dare you say it? You don't want to spend money yourself. I am willing to spend money to watch a movie. Anyway, the ticket price is like this. For ten yuan to watch a movie, people in the south can only go in and watch it for thirty yuan. I have already paid twice as much as others. In this way, I still can't get the money back, if it wasn't for the sake of the villagers, I wouldn't have cut the price so much, just wait, tourists and people from the commune will come in to watch it soon."

Everyone in the village was in an uproar, and it cost ten yuan to watch a movie? Will there be a lot of people coming? Are they crazy or the old village chief is crazy? Even if their life is better now, it's impossible to spend so much money just to watch a movie. Just wait and see, the old village chief is arrogant this time. crazy for money.

When the villagers were gone, the old lady Feng said very unhappily: "Old man, look at them just now, are they waiting to see our good show? It's so annoying."

Old Man Feng smiled and said: "These ignorant guys, no wonder they can't make a fortune, there are not many smart people like us in this world, but that's fine, the money is made by us, you take care of it. What do they do? Sometimes when they're surprised."

Old man Feng played with the TV and video recorder on his own. These machines had to be adjusted well, and then they would be put in the canteen for his wife to operate. He still had to go to the provincial capital to do business.

Li Laidi also watched the lively outside the crowd just now. She walked back with her head lowered, her eyes turned red, and the old Feng family bought such an expensive machine without a sound. Buying only three sets, how much it will cost, she can't imagine, her man is living a hard life in prison, but her family's enemies are getting better and better. Feeling, I suddenly saw Feng Dakang standing opposite her, looking at her slyly.

Li Laidi suddenly had an idea in her heart, so she sneaked a wink at Feng Dakang, and pointed her hand in the direction of the coconut grove, before she walked quietly ahead.

Feng Dakang followed him knowingly and came to the depths of the coconut grove. Usually no one came here, but he still looked around cautiously and found no one, so he walked in with confidence, and sure enough he was in a tree. Seeing Li Laidi under the coconut tree, he rushed over in a hurry.

"Why did you call me here in the daytime? Did you miss me? I miss you to death, Laidi."

Feng Dakang approached and was about to move, but Li Laidi dexterously avoided him, and pushed his face away with his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have something to ask you to help with."

Since Feng Dakang stole the fish, he felt that his family flowers had no wild flower fragrance. To him, Li Laidi was the fragrant wild flower. He could hardly wait to pat his chest and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? I promise you anything you say."
