Reborn In The ’80s to Raise Cubs - Chapter 71
Xu and Li came to the vegetable greenhouse together and immediately started picking peppers, picking garlic sprouts, and cutting beans… They couldn’t stop being busy, but everyone was full of enthusiasm, joy, and longing.
Even Xu Fan and Dazhuang also helped to collect vegetables in the greenhouse. The two little guys grabbed a tomato with their little hands and pulled it back. After tearing it off, they threw it in the bamboo basket and continued to tear… Four consecutive tearing. Five, two little guys were tired, squatting on the edge of the bamboo basket, looking at the cucumbers and tomatoes in the bamboo basket.
“Wow! A lot of wow!” Xu Fan exclaimed in a milky voice.
Dazhuang followed up: “This is what we two received!”
“My father planted it.”
“My father also planted it.”
Xu Fan nodded and said, “Well, our two fathers planted it together!”
Dazhuang nodded, “Yes.”
After speaking, the two little guys suddenly fell into a strange silence, and then two pairs of watery eyes stared straight at the cucumbers and tomatoes in the bamboo basket, looking greedy, after a while, Dazhuang spoke first: “Tomatoes delicious.”
Xu Fan said, “Cucumbers are delicious too.”
After a while, Dazhuang said again: “Sanwazi, I want to eat tomatoes.”
Xu Fan pursed his lips and seemed to swallow his saliva. He put his hands in the bamboo basket and pressed the tomato, and said, “You can’t eat it, let me sell it for money, you can’t eat it.”
“I’ll eat one.”
“No, those who sell money can only eat after selling money.”
Xu Zhao insisted that he did not agree to eat one.
Dazhuang thought for a while and said, “After the money is sold, I will buy sour plum powder.”
Xu Fan followed up: “The money is sold. Dad gave me two cents. I bought two bags of sour plum powder. There are, there are, two spoons. I like spoons.”
“I like spoons too.”
Xu Fan supported the bamboo basket and stood up: “Then, then I’ll go pick tomatoes and sell the money to buy sour plum powder.”
“I am going too.”
The two little guys ran to grab the tomatoes again. If one couldn’t pull them, they would switch to the other. If they couldn’t move, they would grab the peppers. Although they didn’t do much work, the two little guys had never been idle. They followed from the greenhouse. Xu and Li went to the shed to pick up potatoes.
They kept filling up the ox cart of Da Zhuang’s family, sending Dad Da Zhuang and Grandpa Da Zhuang away, and the two little guys stopped. Mother Xu looked back at Xu Fan and Da Zhuang and was shocked. The adults were busy just now. The little guy is not in the way, there is no danger, the adults play with them freely, just like the adults in Nanwan Village don’t care about the children during the busy farming season.
But now that I was free, I found that Xu Fan and Dazhuang were almost turned into clay figurines, especially Xu Fan, whose clothes, hands, face, and head were covered with mud.
“Aiya, Sanwazi!” Mother Xu said, “Why are you so dirty?”
“I, I pick up the horse bells, and Dazhuang also picks up the horse bells.” Xu Fan couldn’t say “potato”.
“That can’t be so dirty.”
“I pick up a lot!” Actually not, because he couldn’t pick it up.
“…Hurry home and wash with me, or your dad won’t dare to look at you when he comes back.” Mother Xu turned to call Grandma Dazhuang, and said, “Look at your Dazhuang, and you’re also covered in mud.”
“I’ll take him home and wash him.”
So the Xu and Li families took Xu Fan and Dazhuang home and washed their grandson’s face and hands. Xu’s mother nagged Xu Fan while washing Xu Fan. Xu Fan kept silent and let Xu’s mother wash. Said: “Grandma, give me some incense.”
“Do you still want to apply incense?” Mother Xu asked with a smile.
Xu Fan nodded heavily: “Well, my father said, after washing your face, you should smear fragrance. If you don’t wipe it, it will be chapped, and I will not be handsome.”
Mother Xu laughed: “You still know that you will be chapped, let’s put clam oil on you.”
“I don’t want to apply oil, I want to apply fragrance.”
The so-called Xiangxiang is the Yu Meijing Children’s Cream that Xu Zhao specially went to the county town some time ago and ran for a few streets before buying it for Xu Fan. Originally, she wanted to buy vanishing cream, but vanishing cream doesn’t seem to be suitable for children, so it is still a children’s cream. It is more suitable for Xu Fan. Sure enough, when he uses the children’s cream, Xu Fan dislikes the clam oil for being too greasy and airtight. After washing his face every morning, he has to put on the children’s cream, otherwise he will not be handsome.
“Okay, I’ll give you some incense.”
Mother Xu came to the west wing with a smile, picked up the bag of children’s cream on the table, squeezed a little bit, and wiped it on Xu Fan’s face, Xu Fan immediately stretched out his little hand and said, “Grandma, your hands should also be fragrant. , also on hand.”
“Okay, I’ll give you a fragrant scent on your hands, and rub it in your own hands.” Mother Xu said with a smile, “Sanwazi, why are you so stinky, whoever you want.”
“Follow Dad.”
“Your father is not stinky.”
“Dad Xiangmei!”
Xu’s mother smiled and pinched Xu Fan’s fleshy face. At this moment, the phone on the table rang, Xu’s mother hurried to answer it, and Xu Zhao’s voice immediately came from the other side, Xu’s mother shouted happily: “Xu Zhao, Xu Where are you now?”
“Mom, I’m at Qingfeng’s house.”
Mother Xu laughed immediately and said, “Did you receive an ox cart from Dad Zhuang?”
Xu Zhao said on the other side: “I got it, I got it.”
“How is this bullock cart sold?” Xu mother asked.
“It’s good, but it’s still not enough to sell.”
“Not enough to sell?” Mother Xu showed joy on her face.
“Well, I’ll go back and pull a cart later.”
“Okay, I’ll go collect the food with your dad right away.”
“If you are tired, wait for me to go back.” Xu Zhao was afraid that the two old people would be tired.
“It’s not tired, it’s nothing.”
“That’s alright, anyway, pay attention, don’t get tired, I’ll take care of things here, I’ll go back and collect the dishes together, right, where’s Xu Fan?”
Mother Xu looked down at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan had heard Xu Zhao’s voice long ago, and was pulling on Mother Xu’s pants to call Dad, Mother Xu smiled and put the phone in Xu Fan’s ear. Old Gao: “Dad!”
Xu Zhao’s laughter immediately came from the other side: “Dad heard it.”
Xu Fan asked earnestly, “Dad, are you eating?” This is a common language learned from adults.
Xu Zhao knew about Xu Fan, so he answered seriously: “Eat, do you want to eat?”
“I ate too, but I’m hungry again.”
“You’re hungry so soon, what did you do in the morning?”
“I’ll collect the vegetables!” Xu Fan said seriously.
“Have you received the vegetables? What vegetables did you receive?”
“The lame, courgette, and worm I harvested.”
Of the three vegetables, tomato, cucumber, and green onion, none of them were right, but Xu Zhao was still very cheering and said, “Wow, our Xu Fan Xu Sanwazi is awesome.”
Xu Fan’s little face immediately showed joy, and he said solemnly, “Well, I’m great!”
“That’s right, great Xu Fan, Dad is going to sell vegetables, you continue to be great at home, we’ll see you at noon.”
“Goodbye Daddy.”
After saying goodbye, Xu Fan handed the phone to Xu’s mother, because his father praised himself for being great, and he was very happy. Standing beside Xu’s mother, the beautiful little body swayed, like being drunk, Xu’s mother knew this little guy. Secretly happy again, who does this temperament look like? Xu Zhao is not like this.
But this is quite cute. Mother Xu brought Xu Fan, Father Xu, and Grandma Dazhuang to the greenhouse again to collect vegetables. Xu Fan and Dazhuang, who were not brought along, were naturally busy in the greenhouse.
After being busy for a long time, he suddenly heard the bell of a bicycle coming from outside the greenhouse. Xu Fan immediately dropped a sentence, “My dad is back,” and quickly ran out of the greenhouse with short legs. Sure enough, he saw Xu Zhao coming over on a bicycle.
“Dad! Ahh! Dad!” Xu Fan was so excited that he jumped up and ran towards Xu Zhao: “Dad, you’re back! Dad!”
Why is this little guy so excited!
Xu Zhao quickly got on and off the bicycle, stopped the bicycle, and before reaching Xu Fan, he bent down, then strode towards Xu Fan, picked up Xu Fan at once, and kissed Xu Fan’s tender face several times. Then he opened his mouth and asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m collecting vegetables!” Xu Fan said.
“Where are grandparents?”
“Grandpa, Grandma, Li, and Dazhuang are all collecting vegetables.”
“Then let’s go pick up the food too.”
Xu Zhao went into the greenhouse with Xu Fan in his arms. While collecting vegetables, he told Xu’s mother and others about the scene of selling vegetables in the vegetable market. This year is different from previous years. In addition to the bumper grain harvest, because of the relaxation of the policy above, all walks of life are developing well, especially when going out. The part-time job has gradually increased, so I have a little money on hand. It is rare to go home during the New Year.
In addition, there are too few vegetables to eat in winter, so Xu Zhao’s ox cart was pulled to the county seat, and there was a situation of looting when there were too many people, and the price was a bit higher than usual, but it did not hinder the sale at all.
The Xu and Li families were happy to hear it, and they worked very hard.
Mother Xu asked with a smile, “Where are Dad Zhuang and Grandpa Da Zhuang?”
Xu Zhao said, “In the back, I’ll ride my bike back first to collect food with you. After a while, we’ll go to the county town when they come back.”
“Does anyone still buy vegetables?” Grandma Dazhuang asked.
“Yes, it is estimated that there will be people buying vegetables until noon recently. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone wants to buy and prepare food.”
“makes sense.”
After a while, Dad Dazhuang and Grandpa Dazhuang came back with the empty ox cart. The two of them joined the food collection team very diligently. After more than half an hour, the ox cart and bicycle were filled with various vegetables.
Dazhuang’s father and Dazhuang’s grandfather could not ride a bicycle, so the two pulled an ox cart, and Xu Zhao rode a bicycle to the city first, but sat on the front bar of the car – Xu Fan.
Today, the Xu and Li family received food three times in a row. They are really tired and can’t bring their children. Dazhuang can be taken by pregnant Dazhuang’s mother, just to let Grandma Dazhuang rest, Xu Fan can only be taken by Xu Zhao He left, otherwise his father and mother would be exhausted and sick, so Xu Zhao rode a bicycle to the vegetable market first.
In addition to Cui Qingfeng, there were some people who were looking to buy green onions, garlic sprouts, potatoes, etc. standing beside the empty ox cart at the entrance of the vegetable market. Xu Zhao put sacks of vegetables on the ox cart, and immediately A lot of people rushed up to grab it. Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng quickly took the scales.
After a while, Dazhuang’s father and Dazhuang’s grandfather also came over with an ox cart. Before the market went on sale, the three ox carts and one bicycle of vegetables were all sold out, so there were still people coming to buy vegetables. Xu Zhao and others did not expect such a business. Hot, tired arms are sore, it can only show that the genius has vegetables.
A few people were squatting beside the empty bullock cart to rest. At this time, Mother Cui, who was resting today, came over with a pot of boiling water to quench their thirst. Seeing Xu Fan, she naturally hugged her and gave her a good hug. He looked at Xu Zhao and asked, “How much food do you have at home?”
Xu Zhao replied, “There’s still more than half of it.”
“so much?”
“Well, there are quite a lot of knots.” The main reason is that Xu Zhao is very careful about greenhouse vegetables, so the harvest is quite impressive.
“Then why don’t you bring some to sell?” Mother Cui pointed around and said, “I don’t think many people are buying it.”
Xu Zhao told the truth: “I can’t pull it. It’s just an ox cart. No matter how you pull it, it’s limited. However, I’m going to borrow a tractor in the village tomorrow.”
Mother Cui followed up and said, “Yes, find a bigger car and pull more. If Uncle Qingfeng is at home, it will be more convenient to use his company’s truck!”
Xu Zhao smiled and said, “My uncle is in the imperial capital now, and he won’t be back in the next two days.”
Uncle is in the imperial capital——
Hearing this, Cui Qingfeng looked at Xu Zhao and asked, “Xu Zhao, how do you know that uncle is in the imperial capital?”
Xu Zhao replied with a smile, “My uncle called me yesterday.”
