Rebirth 90s: Sweetheart Cub

Under the shade of the roadside trees, there was already a small row of villagers queuing.

Master Dong sat on a small bamboo chair, took the ledger, knocked on the calculator, wrote down all the amount to be paid, and began to roll the bill to pay.

The most exciting moment has come.

Qi Qi clenched her fist with her little hand, stomping her feet in excitement.

Song Yueliang and Dong Wangshu came to Detaoxi Village and happened to see this scene.

The little baby was squeezed together with a few radish heads, his little face was flushed with excitement, and he grinned, showing his cute millet teeth.

"So many people? Master Dong seems to be handing out money." On the co-pilot, Dong Wangshu reached out to open the door and get out of the car, wanting to join in the fun, "We came just in time."

Song Yueliang held her down, "Wait a minute, wait until the work over there is over before going down."

"It's already here, why wait?" Dong Wangshu didn't understand, then followed Song Yueliang's line of sight and saw the little girl stomping her little feet, "..."

The last time we met was at our wholesale market, Qiqi gave Dong Wangshu the impression that she was timid and soft, like a mimosa plant.

I didn't expect to see such a playful side of the little baby when we met again, his eyes were so bright that there were RMB symbols popping out.

"Little money fan, this is it." She laughed and teased.

Song Yueliang didn't speak, her eyes kept on the little girl.

It is not far from Huicheng to Hagilu Town, and it takes more than an hour to drive by myself.

But it took Song Yueliang another full hour to get from the town to Taoxi Village.

The mountain road into the village is not easy to walk, and because I am not familiar with the terrain, I even took the wrong road.

The exhaustion caused by the bumpy journey all the way disappeared strangely the moment he saw the little doll.

The truck team at the entrance of the village blocked their view, and everyone's attention was elsewhere, so no one noticed that there was an extra car beside the truck team.

Master Dong had already finished the first batch of accounts, and looked up at the increasingly long line in front of him. Finally, his gaze passed over Xiao Qiqi and the others, and he said, "Come on, send the money!"

"Zhang Xifeng, the sweet potato is 7123 catties, and the payment is 213 yuan and 70 cents!"

Zhang Xifeng was the first in line, and when she heard the amount of the payment, she was so excited that she was a little dull.

When Master Dong put the counted money into her hands, her hands were still shaking.

"Mother-in-law, we earned more than two hundred yuan!" Nestled against a heat source at her feet, the little baby hugged her leg, her eyes bent into crescent moons, "A lot, a lot!"

Zhang Xifeng led the baby to the side, squatted down and hugged the baby tightly in his arms, and then tremblingly said, "Yes, a lot, much more than before."

The weather was hot, and it was uncomfortable to be hugged, but Qi Qi didn't struggle, she put her little arms around the old woman's neck, smiling shyly.

The mother-in-law is very happy, so Qiqi is even happier.

Over there settlement is still going on.

"Li Shuigen, 9,960 catties of sweet potatoes, 4,008 watermelons, and the payment is 2,302 yuan and 80 cents!"

"Li Dongsheng, sweet potatoes are 10,090 catties, watermelons are 3,976, and the payment is 2,283 yuan and 80 cents!"

"Chen Jianhe... made a payment of 2,657 yuan and 30 cents!"

...

Except for Zhang Xifeng's family, those who grow a lot of watermelons in the village have settled payments of more than 2,000 yuan.

This time, there was no cheering at the scene. The person whose name was called to take the money walked silently to the side of the road and knelt down after receiving the money. No one left immediately, and no one spoke.

Many people look at a thick stack of banknotes in their hands, ranging from a hundred denominations to a few cents, and hold the heavy weight in their hands.

This is the dawn that the people of Taoxi Village, who are almost crushed by life, have survived year after year, at the end of the gloom.

Many people cried, silently, and tears fell drop by drop on the banknotes.

After decades of bending their waists, in order to support their families, they humbled themselves into the dust. Until today, they can finally straighten their waists and gasp for breath.

There is hope.

After crying, those faces that were still stained with tears showed dazzling smiles again.

The smile is loud, and the carefree and heroic makes the sun dim.

Zhang Xifeng still hugged Qiqi, her wrinkled face was resting on the baby's small shoulders, her eyes were red, but there were deep smile creases at the end of her eyes.

Now, they are really alive.

"Mother-in-law, next year I will help you plant watermelons, so that mother-in-law can earn more and more money, and also earn two thousand yuan." Her shoulders were wet, and Qi Qi thought that her mother-in-law was sad and earned less than other families, so she comforted clumsily, " Mother-in-law, don't be sad."

Zhang Xifeng straightened up, put some distance away from the baby, laughed and cried, "Silly baby, mother-in-law is not sad. Although the other family earns more, the other family has a large population. There are only two people in our family, so the money we earn is not counted." Less, and you forgot, there are still two pigs in the family that have not been sold, and those are the big heads of our family."

Qiqi thought for a while, "Then next year our family will raise two more pigs, and I will help my mother-in-law raise them!"

She is very good at mowing pigweed, and it is no problem to raise a few more pigs.

Now that her mother-in-law wants to support her, she must spend more money than before. She has to help her mother-in-law earn money.

...

The goods of dozens of households in a village are huge, and they will not be able to receive them all in a short while.

After the villagers calmed down a little, they spontaneously helped to pack the registered sweet potatoes and watermelons into boxes and trucks. Finally, the employees in the wholesale market could take a break and take a breather.

Qiqi found a job for herself again, took Huazi, Goudan and other children in the village, and ran all over the place to deliver water and food to the employees and uncles, like a little bee that couldn't stop.

Among the group of children, she is the youngest, the most shy, but the most agile in doing things.

There was constant talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

Song Yueliang had never liked to be noisy, but now she had a feeling of wanting to blend in.

Sitting here seems too deserted.

"Get out of the car." She said, reaching out her hand to open the car door, when a motorcycle sped up from behind and whizzed by.

Dong Wangshu was taken aback and almost went abroad to scold him.

Fortunately, the door hadn't been opened, otherwise there would have been an accident.

Song Yueliang frowned and looked up.

Over there, because the motorcycle broke in, the laughter stopped suddenly.

When Qi Qi saw this person, her face changed even more, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Goudan stared at the two on the motorcycle and gritted his teeth, "These two bastards are here again!"

Huazi also said angrily, "The watermelon in our village was almost smashed last night, it was they who did it! It must be a bad thing to run here now!"

The two boys looked at each other, walked away quietly, and picked up Xiao Qiqi when they left.

"What are you doing here?" The old village chief had already stepped out, glaring at Wang Jianzhong's uncle and nephew.

The villagers of Taoxi Village also went to the old village head one after another, all vigilant.

The motorcycle stopped in front of the truck, and Wang Jianzhong got out of the car, pretending not to see the hostility in the eyes of the people in Taoxi Village, and stepped forward with a haha, "Brother Li, everyone, don't be nervous, I'm just here to say hello to acquaintances .”
