Reborn In The ’80s to Raise Cubs

Xu Zhao quickly looked at the man in front of him. He was handsome in appearance, tall and straight, with a strong aura, but his face was indeed only twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Father, based on these characteristics, it can be concluded that the man in front of him is Cui Qingfeng's uncle - Cui Dingchen.

"Dad." Xu Fan called again.

Xu Zhao looked down at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan asked, "Where are the noodles?"

Xu Zhao replied, "On the table in the main room."

When Xu Fan got the answer, he immediately turned to look at Cui Dingchen, and said in a milky voice, "My dad said that the noodles are on the table in the main room."

Cui Dingchen looked back at the hall and said, "Come in and get it."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Zhao said.

Okay thank you?

Hearing this, Cui Dingchen raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao didn't see it, but pulled up Xu Fan's little hand and passed by Cui Dingchen, walked towards the hall a few times, took ten handfuls of noodles, passed by Cui Dingchen again, and said, "I'm sorry, uncle."

Cui Dingchen hummed lightly.

It's really Cui Dingchen!

Still twenty-eight years old, so young!

Xu Zhao couldn't help but sigh, if only he could be so rich when he was twenty-eight. He couldn't be so emotional. He was only twenty-two years old, and he still had six years of struggle. When he was twenty-eight years old, he would definitely be Very powerful.

After thinking about it over and over again, Xu Zhao's pride in being suppressed by Cui Dingchen came out again, and the tall buildings rose to the ground, no hurry, no hurry, just work hard every day.

So as soon as he arrived at the small shop at the intersection, he invested in the small shop and wrote the newly added items in the notebook. It was written that Cui Qingfeng came back on a bicycle.

"Xu Zhao!" Cui Qingfeng shouted happily.

"I'm back." Xu Zhao immediately asked, "Have you paid the electricity bill? How much is your electricity bill this month?"

Cui Qingfeng sat on the bicycle and said, "Seven yuan and fifty cents is quite a bit, isn't it?"

"Not much, as expected." Xu Zhao has seen the wattage of Cui Qingfeng's refrigerator, TV, and incandescent lamps, and the calculated electricity bill is similar to this.

Cui Qingfeng said with a smile: "Well, Xu Zhao, you are really amazing, I'm back with that, you go to work, I'll come to see the store."

Xu Zhao said, "Let me come and see the store. Your uncle is back, won't your family get together?"

"What are you gathering? My uncle is sleeping when he comes back. Did you see my uncle just now?"

Xu Zhao said, "Well, I see."

"Is it a lazy look?"

"It's okay." It's a little lazy, but not lazy.

Cui Qingfeng said: "That means he hasn't slept yet, he should go to bed soon, no need to get together, you can go to work, or I'll come to the store."

Xu Zhao didn't argue with Cui Qingfeng. Anyway, this is a two-person shop, so he said, "Okay, I just don't have any salt, matches or anything else in my house. I'll go buy some and take it home."

"Go, let's go." Cui Qingfeng said, waving his hands.

Xu Zhao took Xu Fan to the vegetable market and started shopping. At the grocery store, he bought two catties of kerosene for eighty cents and fifteen cents for one catty of raw salt. He wanted to buy refined salt, but it was two cents more expensive. Moreover, Mother Xu asked not to use refined salt, saying that it tasted the same as big salt, so why did it cost two cents more.

Then I bought another match, a wash basin, a bag of washing powder, and especially a pound of pork for the family to eat. It cost a total of five yuan and thirty cents.

With a few dollars left in his hand, Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan, who was gluttonous beside him. He gritted his teeth and bought him a bottle of milk for fifty or six cents, a large watermelon for seven cents, and went to the cloth shop to pull a piece of cotton cloth. , bought an elastic band, and wanted to make two pairs of pants for Xu's father and Xu's mother, so he packed half a sack, rode a bicycle, and carried Xu Fan back to Nanwan Village.

As soon as she got home, Mother Xu began to criticize Xu Zhao for spending money, just buying salt, matches, and basins, but it was too wasteful to cut pork, and milk, milk, milk...

Xu Fan held the milk tightly in his arms, as if "it's mine".

Mother Xu was speechless immediately.

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "It's alright, let's drink."

Xu Fan nodded his head, turned around and left the yard. When he came back, he shook his head and sucked the straw on the milk bottle, followed by Dazhuang, who said as he walked, "Sanwazi, give me a drink."

Xu Fan sat on the threshold of the thatched hut holding the milk.

Dazhuang followed and sat on the threshold, next to Xu Fan.

"Sanwazi, give me a drink." Dazhuang stared at Xu Fan, very greedy.

"No!" Xu Fan said firmly.

"I'll take a sip."

"No!" Then he drank happily.

Xu Zhao: "..."

Dare to love Xu Fan, holding a bottle of milk, he went to Da Zhuang to show off to Da Zhuang that he had milk to drink? This mysterious friendship.

"I'll take a sip." Dazhuang said again.

"Then give me five of your glass balls." Xu Fan said.

"Can't give it to you."

"Why?" Xu Fan asked.

Dazhuang said: "My mother wants to give birth to a younger brother, I will keep it for my younger brother to play with, and my elder brother will love his younger brother."

Xu Fan asked solemnly, "Then why don't you let your mother give birth to you a brother?"

Then why don't you let your mother give you a brother--

The corners of Xu Zhao's mouth twitched a few times. He has lived in two worlds. He has only heard of having a younger brother and a younger sister. This is the first time he has heard of having an older brother. He really has no eyes to look at Xu Fan anymore. It's hard to understand, Xu Zhao washed the radishes and stopped caring about what Xu Fan and the two children were talking about. He went into the kitchen, gave Xu's mother a hand, and then sat in front of the pot to make a fire.

This meal is very rich. The pork is cooked in large pieces, and the fat is dripping with oil beads. Everyone who has been short of oil for many years can't help drooling. Mother Xu kept giving Xu Zhao and Xu Fan. folder.

The family gathers around the chopping board for dinner, feeling a sudden sweltering heat in the air.

Xu Zhao said, "Why is it so hot all of a sudden?"

Xu Fan followed: "Dad, I'm hot too."

"You are what you eat when you are hot."

Xu Fan: "..."

Mother Xu looked up at Mao Maoyun on the horizon and said, "It's going to rain."

Xu Zhao asked, "Is it supposed to be cooler after the rain?"

Mother Xu said with a smile: "It's hotter when it rains, it will be hot for ten days, and then it will be a little cooler, but it's still hot, the heat can be tolerated, and it will be hot until the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that many factories in the city will have holidays. A few days for some workers."

Want to be hot until the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Xu Zhao was very surprised. When he first came here, it was only May and June. It was extremely hot, like July and August in the 21st century city. He thought it would cool down soon, but he didn't expect the weather to be hot. By the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is to say, he doesn't need to be so anxious now, and can slowly use the popularity of popsicles to improve the intersection store and make the intersection store popular. After a long time, the intersection store will be prosperous without popsicles. , Thinking of this, Xu Zhao felt relieved for a while.

With a sound of "Boom", there was a sudden explosion of thunder in the sky, followed by a pouring downpour.

"Ooh!" Xu Fan suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "Dad! Ooooo!"

"What?" Mother Xu asked in confusion.

"Chicken and duck." Xu Zhao said.

Mother Xu suddenly remembered: "Yes, I just collected the clothes and covered the straw, and forgot that the chickens and ducks were still in the yard."

Xu Zhao ran out in the rain, and quickly rushed the chickens and ducks to the kitchen room. Then the whole family, including one chicken and two ducks, were in the kitchen room. Watching the pouring rain, Xu's father slurred his words.

Xu Zhao asked, "Mom, what did Dad say?"

Mother Xu said, "Your father said that the rain is good, the beans will grow, and they can be fried with bean sprouts tomorrow, but the people in the city can't eat them."

"Are you going to pick up bean sprouts tomorrow?"

"It's not me, the whole village will go to mention it."

"Why?" Xu Zhao didn't quite understand why everyone had to mention bean sprouts.

Mother Xu said: "As the saying goes, 'thick wheat, thin soybeans.' You have never grown wheat or soybeans by yourself, so you don't know the way there. When planting wheat, use more wheat seeds, and you can harvest more wheat in the coming year. When planting soybeans, it is best to only have three or four beans in a pit. If there are too many, when the soybeans are cut, the beans will be small and shriveled, and the oil will not be squeezed out, and the price will not be able to be sold. If you don’t pay the public rations, you may not be able to pay them, so you will lose a lot of money.”

"I see." Xu Zhao nodded.

During the conversation, the rain stopped and it got dark. In order to save kerosene, everyone ate and slept early. The next morning, before dawn, the villagers were busy, and everyone was carrying In the basket, while it was still hot, he went down to pick up bean sprouts. Xu Zhao went with his mother, leaving Xu Fan and Xu's father at home.

Father Xu can now walk with a cane, but he walks slowly and unsteadily.

Xu Fan listened to Xu Zhao's words very much, and took Xu's father to walk slowly in the village, but Xu Fan was a child of more than two years old.

Father Xu was afraid that Xu Fan would get lost, so he followed behind with a cane and shouted.

"Baby, baby!"

Xu Fan was so excited that he couldn't hear it at all.

So one morning, I saw an old man with a cane walking behind four or five little kids. People in the village laughed and said, if this old man is trained like this by his little grandson every day, it will not take long. Can go to work.

Father Xu also heard these words, and he felt that after a walk, he really had more strength, and the doctor told him to take more walks, so he followed Xu Fan, but he couldn't walk anymore, so he just sat and rested. .

Seeing that the other children were all coming home, Father Xu shouted, "Baby! Baby! Baby! Come here!"

Xu Fan turned his head and ran over happily: "Grandpa."

Father Xu said vaguely with a smile on his face, "Slow down, slow down."

Xu Fan ran steadily to Father Xu, took Father Xu's hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go home."

"go home."

When he got home, Father Xu ate half a half more miscellaneous noodles than before.

Mother Xu was very happy.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan and said, "You can stay at home with grandpa in the future."

"I'm going to follow Dad."

"……alright."

After Xu Zhao had breakfast, he and his mother washed the green bean sprouts with well water, smoothed them, tied them tightly with hemp rope, and tied them into four bundles. Xu Zhao took them to the county seat, first to Cui Qingfeng's house, Cui Qingfeng They were having breakfast in the main room, but they didn't look at Cui Dingchen, maybe they were sleeping, maybe they had gone out.

"Yo, Xu Zhao and Xu Fan are here." Mother Cui came to greet her with a steamed bun in her hand.

Xu Zhao handed the two bundles of bean sprouts to Mother Cui.

Mother Cui asked, "What is this?"

Xu Zhao said, "The bean sprouts growing in my field are for you to eat as green vegetables."

Mother Cui said with a look of joy: "Oh, you're so polite, why don't you eat it yourself?"

Xu Zhao said warmly, "There are all of them at home, quite a lot."

"That's fine, I'll take it." Mother Cui asked with a smile, "Have you all had breakfast since you came from home so early?"

Xu Zhao said, "I have eaten."

"I've eaten it too." Xu Fan continued.

Mother Cui asked Xu Fan with a smile, "So we Xu Fan can have another meal, right?"

Xu Fan didn't hide his true thoughts at all, and nodded his head: "Well."

Xu Zhao: "..." Now Xu Fan's appetite, if he earns less, it will not be enough for Xu Fan to eat.

Xu Zhao didn't eat another meal, but went into the popsicle room to make popsicles ahead of time. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a packet of cigarettes on the table. It was the front door. Sister's lover seems to be working in the city tobacco factory, and she is also the management. As soon as the popsicles are ready, Xu Zhao immediately rides a bicycle with Xu Fan to the steel factory, and gives the remaining two bundles of green bean sprouts to Sister Yun.

Sister Yun is from the city, she usually buys food and drink, but now she is in short supply, and some things cannot be bought, such as the green bean sprouts that emerge from the soil. My elder sister and her husband were from the countryside when they were young, but when they became skilled, they moved their household registration to the city. Having been a city dweller for more than 20 years, he still misses the taste of the countryside.

It's just that the relatives of Sister Yun's husband are too much tossing, and they have never paid for it. They want to get benefits from their family and kidnap their morality. Although Sister Yun and his husband have a lot of wages, their three children go to school and her two elderly people. , the life is also very tight, and I can't stand the tossing of those relatives, so the relatives on the lover's side gradually stop leaving, so the green bean sprouts that the rural people do not easily sell, they haven't bought them for many years.

I didn't expect Xu Zhao to send this, and Sister Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "There are many families, so bring some here. If Sister Yun likes to eat, I will bring you some tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Sister Yun asked happily: "Do you still have this?"

"Yes, just eat it for three or five days. If you want to eat it again, there will be no more."

Sister Yun said politely, "That's fine, you can bring me some tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I'll give you the money."

"for free."

"Then what do you want?"

Xu Zhao told the truth: "I want to sell cigarettes from your lover."

"Are you going to sell cigarettes again?"

Xu Zhao explained to Sister Yun about the small shop at the intersection. He really wanted to make a lot of money, but now he is old, and his health is not good. So I want to open a small shop for a transition, have a stable income to ensure their life is stable, and then do other things.

Sister Yun knew that Xu Zhao was a smart and responsible person, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll tell my lover when I look back, and promise to be cheaper than other people's prices."

"Thank you Miss Yun."

"You're welcome, you help sell the money. My lover gets a commission. I thank you that it's too late."

Xu Zhao smiled shyly.

Sister Yun patted Xu Zhao's shoulder and said, "Young man, do it well, if you have the ability, don't forget sister."

"Don't worry, I won't forget Sister Yun." Xu Zhao thought about it and couldn't help but ask directly: "By the way, Sister Yun, the weather will be very hot next time, and it will be hot for a while, how did you talk to me last time? Qingfeng said it will be hot soon, and there are fewer popsicles ordered, so are the workers going to take a vacation?"

Sister Yun said sternly: "According to the original plan, there is a holiday, but this year's production demand is large, and it is not certain. We are in a meeting to discuss. If you need popsicles, I will find you again. You can rest assured that I will not find someone else."

Xu Zhao said, "Thank you, Sister Yun."

"You're welcome, it's so hot, go back quickly."

"Goodbye, Sister Yun."

Xu Zhao walked out of the steel factory with Xu Fan and rode a bicycle through the street when he encountered two quarrels. The quarrel was so intense that the road was blocked. Xu Zhao had no choice but to get out of the car and push the bicycle. After walking from the side of the road, Xu Fan suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Big car! Dad! Look! Big car!"

Xu Zhao looked forward and saw Cui Dingchen as well as the black car.

Cui Dingchen was also blocked by the crowd. He was sitting in the driver's seat smoking a cigarette. The moment Xu Zhao saw him, he also saw Xu Zhao, and then put the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and nodded to Xu Zhao. .

Xu Zhao also nodded, when he had already walked to the black car.

"Where did you go?" Cui Dingchen asked in a low voice without a trace of emotion.

"Steel mill." Xu Zhao replied.

Cui Dingchen nodded and stopped talking.

Xu Fan lay on the handlebar, tilted his head and looked at Cui Dingchen at the driver's seat, saying, "Big brother, your big car is so big!"

Big brother--

Xu Zhao's mouth twitched immediately, calling him big brother Cui Dingchen, what about Uncle Cui Qingfeng?

This, this age difference is too big.

Even Cui Dingchen couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at Xu Fan.
