Reborn In The ’80s to Raise Cubs

Xu Zhao counted the time subconsciously, looked up at Mother Xu, and asked, "Mom, is the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching on August 15th?"

"No, there is still more than a month." Xu mother said.

Xu Zhao thought about it and asked, "Aren't we going to cut soybeans in more than a month? Is it just two or three days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Yeah." Mother Xu said while eating noodles.

"Was it still hot back then?" Xu Zhao asked again.

Mother Xu replied: "It's not so hot in the morning and in the evening. It's still hot at noon. When the beans are being cut, many people still eat popsicles, but they won't be able to eat them at the end of August, because the end of August starts with an autumn rain and a cold. ."

Xu Zhao responded lightly, fell into contemplation, and began to reintegrate and extend the thoughts that flashed in his mind just now. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. Before, he always wanted to do another thing, something to make money. Things that could allow him to have a start-up bonus for further development.

It's just that all kinds of materials are lacking in this era, and we can't just copy the business model of the 21st century, let alone reselling what we sell. If you don't understand the market, you will lose money.

However, the traditional festival of the Mid-Autumn Festival is unchanged. According to the Chinese people's feelings and habits for the festival, this is a period of great business opportunities.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu's mother again.

Mother Xu stopped her chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhao said, "Mom, our family will go to the county seat tomorrow."

"What?" Mother Xu asked.

"Look at the store, let you familiarize yourself with the situation of the small store first, and when you need to go to the ground to pull weeds, I will go to the ground to pull weeds with you."

Mother Xu asked again, "I will start going to the county town tomorrow."

"Well, I'm going anyway."

"That's fine." Anyway, she had already promised her son, as long as she could help her son, she was willing to do it.

It's just that Mother Xu was secretly uneasy all night, always afraid that she would not do well and cause her son to lose something.

The next morning, Mother Xu got up early to make breakfast, eat breakfast, clean up the housework, and then looked at the only broken mirror in the house, looked at it again and again, and combed her gray hair over and over with a caster, combing a mess of hair. None, and then tied it with the head rope, coiled it behind the head, and neatly.

Not only did Xu's mother organize herself like this, but she also dressed Xu's father neatly and cleanly, and then went to Xu Zhao and asked, "Xu Zhao, is it okay for my mother to dress like this?"

"Okay." Xu Zhao said, Xu's mother has been very tidy, and looks like a careful person.

Mother Xu asked worriedly, "Won't people see a joke?"

"How come, this is good."

Xu's mother pulled Xu's father to Xu Zhao's side again and asked, "Then can your father do this too?"

Xu Zhao looked at Xu's father seriously, and really didn't pick out any faults, and said, "Okay."

"Then, let's go."

So Xu's mother pulled the ox cart, Xu Zhao pushed the bicycle, Xu's father and Xu Fan followed the ox-cart, and the family set foot on the dirt road in the county town. , let Mother Xu pull, Xu Zhao pushes the bicycle with one hand, and helps pull the ox cart with the other.

It seemed like a harmonious scene, but Mother Xu was actually very nervous. Every two or three steps she took, she had to touch her hair and tug at the hem of her clothes, lest her image be damaged and Xu Zhao embarrassed.

Xu Zhao said helplessly: "Mom, don't be nervous, it's alright, you're fine like this."

Mother Xu said, "No, I'm not nervous."

With that said, she was still a little restless when she arrived at Fan Xiaodian. As soon as someone came to buy a newspaper or something, she quickly straightened her body. Xu Zhao couldn't take it any longer, so she handed the list of goods to Xu's mother to see, although Xu's mother recognized it. There are not many words, but Father Xu knows quite a lot.

So Xu Zhao taught Xu's father and Xu's mother to sell things at the same time. If Xu's mother couldn't remember the price, Xu's father could help look at the list of goods and then tell Xu's mother the price.

Xu's mother is responsible for getting goods, collecting money, and asking for money. Xu's mother is very good at accounting, so Xu Zhao is not worried.

After a long time, Xu's father and Xu's mother did a good job, and the tense string in Xu's father and Xu's heart gradually loosened, and the two of them spoke and did things more naturally.

Two days later, Xu Zhao began to teach Father Xu and Mother Xu the purchase process, just to let Father Xu and Mother Xu understand the purchase process. There was no need for Father Xu and Mother Xu to purchase the goods. Because the purchase was far and tiring, Xu Zhao planned to do it by himself. When I have time, I will help Xu's father and mother to buy goods, so Xu's father and Xu's mother only need to sell things in the small store.

After three or four days of study, Xu's father and Xu's mother almost got started. Even if Xu Zhao left for a while, Xu's father and Xu's mother could handle it comfortably.

At this time, the grass in the crops was almost grown, Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng said hello, and then stayed in Nanwan Village for a few days, going to the fields with Xu's father and Xu's mother every day to pull weeds.

Of course, Xu Zhao and Xu's mother pulled the weeds, but Xu's father couldn't work, and Xu Fan couldn't work, so Xu Zhao and Xu's mother were pulling the weeds in the ground, and Xu's father and Xu Fan were busy in the field.

Occasionally Xu Fan would go to the middle of the ground to pull weeds, and he used his milk-feeding strength to pull out two soybeans with mud and roots. He was reprimanded by Xu Zhao. There are also children of other villagers playing in the fields.

Xu Fan went up to play with other children, played and played, and even had a fight with a three-year-old child. After the fight, the two cried, and after crying, they played together again. When Cui Qingfeng came to sell popsicles, Xu Fan handed the popsicle to the three-year-old and took a bite, and the two became happy friends again.

However, Cui Qingfeng hadn't seen Xu Zhao for several days, so he deliberately took out three popsicles and gave each to Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao asked, "Why did you go to the countryside to sell popsicles again?"

Cui Qingfeng said, "Make more money."

"You're here to sell popsicles, what about Fan Xiaodian?"

"My dad helps me watch." Cui Qingfeng said.

"Can Uncle Cui go down?"

"Yes, you can go, and you can sell things."

"The recovery is really fast. Then you can sell popsicles quickly. While everyone is tired of pulling weeds, you can sell two more. When they are sold out, go home quickly. Don't be tired of Uncle Cui."

"Row."

Cui Qingfeng rode his bicycle to sell popsicles everywhere. When he came back, Xu Zhao and the others were gone. He rode his bicycle back to Cui's house in disappointment, just as Cui Dingchen came back from outside.

Recently, Cui Dingchen has been in the county for more and more time.

"Uncle, you're back." Cui Qingfeng said.

Cui Qingchen nodded, then asked, "Why did your dad look at the store at the intersection?"

Cui Qingfeng replied, "Because I went to the countryside to sell popsicles today."

Cui Dingchen paused and asked, "Where's Xu Zhao? Why isn't he here?"

Cui Qingfeng said, "He went home."

Cui Dingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Qingfeng and asked, "What are you doing at home?"

"Weeding. His family has three acres of soybeans and needs to be weeded."

"Can't you use pesticides?"

"He said that pesticides are expensive, but weeding is not as thorough."

"..."

Cui Dingchen didn't speak, turned around and went back to his room. His room was very simple, with a bed, plaid sheets, a row of cabinets, a table, and a chair, but it was very clean and tidy. He walked into the room and sat on the bed, Habitually changing his slippers, he caught a glimpse of the cigarettes at the front door on the table out of the corner of his eye, and he suddenly thought of Xu Zhao who was wearing white short sleeves that day.

Xu Zhao was bathing Xu Fan under the sun at this time.

Xu Fan stripped naked and sat down on the big iron basin, crying.

"Don't cry." Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan kept his mouth flat and stopped crying. He was wronged. Dad said he couldn't go to the water. Then, the two little guys fell into the mud, and of course they were taught a lesson.

"You only have this set of clothes, you know?" Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan was silent.

"After a while, you can go naked in the yard."

"I have old clothes." Xu Fan said.

"The old clothes have been cut by your grandma to make shoes."

"..."

So Xu Fan stayed at home with his bare buttocks, and waited until the clothes were dry before putting them on. It was already afternoon, and Xu Zhao's family went down to the ground to pull grass for a long time, and finally the three acres of weeds were almost pulled. , When I got home, I washed the grass juice on my hands with the pancreas for a long time, but I didn't wash it off.

Xu Zhao washed for a long time.

The next day, after Xu Zhao brought Xu's mother and others to Fan Xiaodian, Xu Zhao came to Cui's house, first used pancreas, squatted by the well and continued to wash his hands, rubbed his hands into a little foam, and when he was about to rinse, he found porcelain There was no water in the basin, and he couldn't take the ladle to scoop it into the water tank. When he was about to call Cui Qingfeng, Cui Dingchen, who was smoking at the door and thinking about something, suddenly said, "I'll come."

Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."

"You are welcome."

Cui Dingchen extinguished the cigarette in his hand by the well, and threw it into the trash can. He picked up the plastic water ladle on the lid of the water tank, opened the water tank, bent down and scooped up a ladle of water, and was about to rush towards Xu Zhao's hand. , Xu Zhao said quickly: "Don't rush into my hands, just pour it into the porcelain basin."

Cui Dingchen paused, glanced at Xu Zhao, then turned his arm in one direction, poured a ladle of water into the porcelain basin, and when he was about to scoop the water again, he heard Xu Zhao say, "Thank you, uncle, it's alright."

Cui Dingchen hummed, took the water ladle out of the water tank and put it on the water tank.

"Thank you." Xu Zhao said again.

"It's all right."

"Then uncle, go get busy." Xu Zhao said with a smile.

"Ok."

Cui Dingchen stepped up and left.

Xu Zhao came to the popsicle room and made popsicles with Cui Qingfeng. When it was almost done, he said to Cui Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, I'm going to go to the city in the past two days."

Cui Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Go to the city? What are you doing in the city?"
