Reborn In The ’80s to Raise Cubs - Chapter 69

“Did you know? The people who fought in other places are back!”

“Yes, I heard that I made a lot of money!”

“I heard that one person made more than 100 yuan!”

“Ah! So much?”

“That’s all, Xu Zuocheng said it himself!”

“That would make more money than Xu Zhao’s blindly busy with greenhouse vegetables.”

“Definitely!”

“…”

For a while, Nanwan Village was full of such discussions. Even the Xu and Li families had heard of it, but they both ignored it and concentrated on preparing for the launch of greenhouse vegetables.

Especially Xu Zhao, he had to arrange every link and manpower of “catching up with the young year”, so as not to make mistakes in the middle and affect the business, and he did not take Xu Zuocheng seriously, not to mention one hundred yuan, it is one thousand yuan. With ten thousand yuan, he would not be jealous of Xu Zuocheng.

So, Xu Zhao did what he had to do, and then he wrote the summary in the notebook and the dinner was ready, but Xu Fan went to Zhuang Zhuang’s house to play and had not come back, so Xu Zhao went to the village to pick up Xu Fan, and happened to meet Xu Zuocheng and a group of villagers You are bragging about how powerful you are, how high your salary is, and so on.

Xu Zhao pretended he didn’t see it and wanted to walk over, but was stopped.

“Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao!” Xu Zuocheng shouted.

Xu Zhao bravely walked over.

Xu Zuocheng was wearing a dark blue cotton jacket, black trousers, and a pair of large leather shoes. He was smoking a cigarette. He was from the front door and asked with a smile, “I heard that you are doing greenhouse vegetables?”

Xu Zhao replied, “Yes.”

“How is it?” Xu Zuocheng looked down on Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao said humbly, “It’s okay.”

Xu Zuocheng asked directly, “Have you made money?”

“It’s not making money.” In Xu Zhao’s mind, making money after the cost is earned is called making money, otherwise, it can only be called “enough money”.

Not making money? If you say it so implicitly, you must not make money, maybe you will lose money. Thinking of this, Xu Zuocheng laughed and asked, “Is it possible that the vegetables can’t be sold?”

“Sell some.”

“Oh, I still sell some.” Xu Zuocheng’s sarcastic smile did not fade, and he asked again, “What are you planting?”

“Green vegetables, cucumbers, beans and the like.”

“How much can this be sold for? Can a pound sell for a hundred yuan?” Xu Zuocheng deliberately joked.

“No.” Xu Zhao replied in a normal tone.

“Then what else are you doing?” Xu Zuocheng looked very concerned about Xu Zhao, and said, “If you can’t make money, don’t do it. It’s a waste of an acre of land. If you want me to tell you, you will throw the three children to your parents. Take, anyway, my parents love Sanwazi. What about you, go out to work with your eldest brother. Although your salary is definitely not higher than that of your eldest brother, 20 yuan a month is no problem, enough for you and Sanwazi, right? “

How could Xu Zhao not know Xu Zuocheng’s virtue, but he didn’t have the same knowledge as him, and instead said: “Well, but I don’t want to go out, I just want to take Sanwazi, the meal is ready at home, Sanwazi hasn’t come home yet, I’ll call him home for dinner.”

Xu Zuocheng nodded helplessly and said, “Go, go.”

Xu Zhao smiled and nodded politely with the others, and then walked towards the village. He heard Xu Zuocheng express his dislike for him, and also revealed to others that Xu Zhao borrowed money to build a house, could not grow vegetables, and so on. don’t care.

When he came back with Xu Fan in his arms, Xu Zuocheng was still talking about it, and a group of big men who had made him laugh at Xu Zhao, thinking that Xu Zhao would definitely lose everything in growing vegetables this time.

“Vegetables are so cheap, how much can you sell for one acre.”

“Yes, Xu Zhao can’t think about it too much. It’s definitely not worthwhile to grow vegetables.”

“I don’t know what his vegetables are like? Has anyone seen it?”

“I heard that the planting is not very good.”

“I haven’t seen him have a harvest these days.”

“…”

A group of people are agreeing with Xu Zuocheng. They are complimenting Xu Zuocheng privately. They hope that Xu Zuocheng will go out to work after the year, and they will be able to take them along and make some money. Xu Zuocheng was very useful, he felt that he was very capable, and with pride in his eyes, he was waiting for Xu Zhao to lose money.

Just waiting to see Xu Zhao lose money, can’t eat!

However, Xu Zhao ignored Xu Zuocheng, carried Xu Fan back home, washed Xu Fan’s fat hands with a pancreas, and then wiped them off with a towel.

Xu Fan immediately put his hand on his nose to smell it, and said with a smile, “Dad, I’m so fragrant! So fragrant!”

Xu Zhao smiled and said, “Well, you are very fragrant, very fragrant, then, very fragrant baby, can we have dinner?”

Xu Fan asked in a milky voice, “What’s for dinner?”

Xu Zhao replied, “Noodles.”

“I love noodles!”

“Is there anything you don’t like to eat?”

“No, no, I like to eat everything.”

“…” Really self-aware.

Xu Zhao took Xu Fan into the hall to eat, and just grabbed his chopsticks when the phone rang. Xu Zhao put down his chopsticks and hurried to pick it up. He thought it was Cui Qingfeng who was calling to ask about the greenhouse dishes, but he didn’t expect it to be Cui Dingchen, who had not been there for more than a month.

Xu Zhao asked in surprise, “Uncle, why are you?”

Cui Dingchen asked in a low voice, “Why can’t it be me?”

Xu Zhao smiled and said, “I just feel very surprised. I heard from Qingfeng that it is difficult to touch the phone when you are following the car.”

“Well, I happened to be on the phone today, so I’ll give you a call.”

“Where is the uncle today?”

“In the imperial capital.”

The imperial capital is of course the capital and the most prosperous city. Xu Zhao asked enviously, “Is the imperial capital very developed?”

At the other end, Cui Dingchen answered pertinently: “It’s not developed, but it is much better than Xizhou, in all aspects.”

“I am very sure of that.”

Cui Dingchen continued: “And the greenhouse vegetables here are all on the market, how about yours?”

Xu Zhao hurriedly said, “I will be listed tomorrow!”

“Are you ready?”

“It’s almost there. We will start collecting vegetables before dawn tomorrow. After dawn, Brother Li and I will drive the ox cart to the county town to sell vegetables, and Qingfeng will also make up the rest.”

“Yes, you will definitely have a hard time during this time.”

“It’s okay.” Xu Zhao said with a smile: “We are not afraid of hard work, but uncle, when will you come back? It will be the New Year’s Day soon.”

“Soon.” After Cui Dingchen said this, he paused and asked, “Do you want to…”

Cui Dingchen didn’t say the next words, Xu Zhao asked curiously, “What do I think?”

“Do you want me to go back early?” Cui Dingchen asked from the other side.

Xu Zhao smiled and said, “Of course, come back for the New Year.”

“Okay, I’ll go back early, I miss you a lot.”

“Well, come back soon.”

“Okay, you continue to eat, go to bed early and get up early.”

“Well, uncle too, goodbye uncle.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhao went back to the dining table and started eating noodles.

Mother Xu asked curiously, “Who called so late?”

“It’s the uncle of the Cui family.” After Xu Zhao put a small piece of egg in the bowl to Xu Fan, he said, “Uncle said that the greenhouse vegetables in the imperial capital are all on the market. Ask me how it goes?”

Xu’s mother asked in surprise: “The imperial capital also has greenhouse vegetables?”

Xu Zhao replied: “Of course, and the technology is still higher than ours. When our vegetable season is over, I want to go to the imperial capital to have a look and learn.”

“The emperor is very far away, I heard that I have to take the train.”

“Well, let’s talk about it later, let’s take a look at the vegetable market tomorrow.”

Mother Xu nodded. After eating two mouthfuls of noodles, she looked at Xu Zhao and said, “Speaking of which, I’m still a little worried.”

Xu Zhao asked, “What are you worried about?”

“I’m worried that the vegetables won’t sell well.”

“Don’t worry, it’s sure to sell well.”

Although Xu Zhao used words to comfort Xu’s mother, he was also worried in his heart. According to the past situation, it was estimated that vegetables would sell well, but the calculation was just a calculation, not a fact, so he was still a little nervous, and he was still a little uneasy in bed at night, and even forgot to tell Xu Fan a bedtime story.

Instead, Xu Fan reminded: “Dad, you haven’t told me a story yet.”

Xu Zhao suddenly remembered and asked, “What story?”

“I don’t know wow.”

“Tell the story of the ugly duckling, okay?” Xu Zhao asked.

Xu Fan immediately said, “The Ugly Duckling has already said it!”

Xu Zhao was dizzy for the past two days and asked, “Have you talked about it?”

“Well, the ugly, ugly duckling finally turned into a swan!”

It was really said!

Xu Zhao didn’t plan to tell a new one, and then asked, “Really? I forgot, can you tell Dad this story again?”

Xu Fan replied, “I can.”

“Then talk about it.”

“Okay.” Xu Fan thought for a while, then began to say, “Once upon a time, there was an egg, and a duckling came out of the egg, the ugly duckling. The ugly duckling was ugly, so it was called the ugly duckling, the ugly duckling…”

Xu Fan’s little milky voice stumbled over, but it sounded particularly nice, as if there was a magic power to soothe irritability, which made Xu Zhao relax physically and mentally, and then tiredness struck, and Xu Zhao couldn’t bear to fall asleep after a while.

And Xu Fan was still stumbling and said: “…The ugly duckling has turned into a beautiful, beautiful swan, fly away! Fly away! Dad, I’m done.”

Xu Zhao did not respond.

Xu Fan said again: “Dad, I’m done, I’m done talking about ugly, ugly duckling.”

Xu Zhao still did not respond.

“Dad!” Xu Fan sat up from the bed. In the pitch-dark room, Xu Fan’s eyes were still watery, he touched Xu Zhao’s face with his little hands and asked in a low voice, “Dad, Dad, are you sleeping? Dad, are you sleeping?”

Xu Zhao was asleep.

“Dad is going to bed, then, then, then I’m going to bed, too.” Xu Fan said, his fleshy little body drilled into Xu Zhao’s arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

The next day, the grandfather clock in the hall rang three times. Dad Dazhuang, Grandpa Dazhuang, and Grandma Dazhuang came to knock on the wooden door of Xu Zhao’s house. Father Xu and Mother Xu hurriedly called Xu Zhao to get up to work, fearing that it would not be safe for Xu Fan to sleep alone at home. , Xu Zhao and Xu mother let Xu father watch at home.

Then five people took flashlights and kerosene lamps and came to the greenhouse, found a place to fix the flashlights and kerosene lamps, and then began to collect vegetables.

Tomatoes, beans, garlic sprouts, eggplants, peppers, etc. are all ready to be harvested. The five people swiftly harvested an ox-cart full of them. Only then did they stop working in the greenhouse, and it was only five o’clock at this time.

Dad Dazhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, “Xu Zhao, do you want to collect some of the potatoes in the shed?”

Xu Zhao replied: “Take it, take it a little bit, let’s try it out.”

Dad Zhuang readily agreed: “Yes.”

So the five people pulled the ox cart to the old yard again, picked up a lot of potatoes, and when everything was ready, just after six o’clock, many people in the village got up, mainly planning to go to the county town to catch a morning market and buy some food and clothes. New Year’s Eve, including Xu Zuocheng.

So many people were surprised when they saw an ox cart of vegetables.

“Why so many dishes?”

“Oh, it’s really tomatoes, beans, eggplants, and peppers.”

“And garlic sprouts, didn’t they say ‘after March 8th, garlic sprouts turned into carts’? How come there are garlic sprouts now?”

“It really came out!”

“…”

The villagers were amazed.

Xu Zuocheng’s face was ugly. He clearly heard that Xu Zhao’s vegetables were not very good. How could he grow such attractive vegetables, and he also planted so many vegetables. Everyone is not always saying that Xu Zhao died of many vegetables. ?
