Reborn In The ’80s to Raise Cubs - Chapter 84
Cui Dingchen was still immersed in sweetness, while Xu Zhao had already crawled into the bed, turned off the radio, and started telling Xu Fan a little bedtime story. But tonight, Xu Fan was so energetic that a little story would not work at all. Putting him to sleep, Xu Zhao talked three times in a row, and finally told Xu Fan to sleep.
Xu Fan was asleep, but Xu Zhao had a dry mouth, so he got up and went to the front of the main room and poured a half-ceramic jar of boiled water.
After drinking, I lay on the bed. Instead of falling asleep immediately, I was thinking about going to the imperial capital. However, before going to the imperial capital, I still had to arrange things related to greenhouse vegetables. The first thing was to grow leafy vegetables.
So the next morning, before dawn, Xu Zhao and Dad Dazhuang went to the greenhouse to remove the weeds, tomato racks, cucumber racks, etc. After that, the Xu and Li families joined in the busyness, borrowing the paddles for ploughing, and taking turns plowing the soil until the sun went down and the seeds of the leafy vegetables were finally sown into the soil.
Only then did the Xu and Li families go home easily. When they got home, Xu Zhao insisted on letting Father Xu and Mother Xu rest for a while. He went into the kitchen to cook noodles and just picked vegetables when Xu Fan ran in excitedly.
“Dad!” Xu Fan tilted his head to look at Xu Zhao’s face, he looked very good-looking.
Xu Zhao lowered his head to pick vegetables, couldn’t help laughing, and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Dad, let me help you wow!”
Xu Zhao asked, “What can I do for you?”
Xu Fan replied, “Help you cook and eat.”
“Can you cook?”
“I will not.”
“No how can you help me?”
Xu Fan said solemnly, “I can help you eat.”
Xu Zhao stopped what he was doing and looked sideways at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan laughed and shouted, “Dad.” He didn’t know what was wrong with what he said.
Xu Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “You are right!”
Xu Fan nodded heavily: “Well, Dad, what I said was right.”
Xu Zhao picked the small greens one by one.
Xu Fan shouted again: “Dad!”
Xu Zhaoying: “Well.”
“Dad, you wash the vegetables.”
Xu Zhao replied, “Yes.”
“Dad, you are chopping vegetables.”
Xu Zhao replied, “Yes.”
“Dad, take some noodles.”
“Yeah, cook noodles to eat.”
“Dad, I want to beat an egg.”
“…”
It was finally time for dinner, and Xu Fan’s little mouth finally stopped talking non-stop. After eating, Xu Zhao deliberately sent Xu Fan to the east wing and asked Xu Fan to talk to his father and Xu. When his mother went, he took out a small notebook from the chest of drawers and began to write a plan.
Selling vegetables was too hard a year ago. Xu Zhao gave himself a week off. He didn’t think about anything for a week. He had fun and spent time with Xu Fan. Now that a week has passed, it’s time to calm down.
He wrote a plan one by one in a small notebook, planting leafy vegetables, selling garlic, going to the imperial capital, and most importantly, going to the imperial capital. Father Xu and Mother Xu didn’t seem to know about this, so Xu Zhao wrote the plan. After that, he came to the east wing and told Father Xu and Mother Xu about going to the imperial capital.
“Go to the imperial capital?” The two elders were surprised together.
Xu Zhao nodded: “Well, go to the imperial capital.”
“The imperial capital is far away.” Father Xu had never been to the imperial capital, but only heard that it was very far away, where the emperor lived in the past.
“Well, we have to take the train.” Xu Zhao said.
“How long is the train ride?”
“About fifteen hours.”
Father Xu sighed, “It’s been so long!”
Mother Xu frowned and said, “That’s a lot of trouble. Do you have to go to the imperial capital? Can’t you go? I heard that there are many bad people out there, but you have never been to the imperial capital. Can you do it?”
The farthest and most prosperous place Xu’s mother went to in her life was Jiangping County. She had never even been to Xizhou City. In her mind, any place outside Xizhou City was full of dangers, so she was worried about Xu Zhao and felt that Xu Zhao It’s safe to be around.
Xu Zhao smiled and said, “It’s alright, I’ll buy a sleeper for the ticket, and my uncle happens to be going to the imperial capital. I’ll be with him, don’t worry.”
Mother Xu asked in surprise, “Uncle Cui is also going?”
“Go, he also has a job in the imperial capital.”
With Cui Dingchen around, Mother Xu was relieved a lot. After all, Cui Dingchen was used to traveling from south to north, but Mother Xu asked worriedly, “Is the third child not going?”
Before Xu Zhao could speak, Xu Fan immediately said firmly, “Grandma, I’m going!”
Xu Zhao smiled and said to Xu’s mother, “Well, Xu Fan also went.”
When Xu Fan heard this, he happily cuddled into Xu Zhao’s arms, and he looked so good.
But Mother Xu disagreed, saying that Xu Fan was young and couldn’t stand the bumps, and it was so chaotic outside, what if he lost it? The imperial capital is a big city. Mother Xu talked about it uneasily, and said that Xu Fan was not happy. Xiaorou pulled Xu Zhao towards the west wing and said, “Dad go, let’s go, ignore grandma, ignore grandma. .”
Immediately made Mother Xu laugh.
Xu Zhao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he comforted Father Xu and Mother Xu to ensure that there would be no problems, and explained that the emperor is the capital city of the country, and that the management of public security and other aspects is many times better than Xizhou City. I read the storytelling of Chang’an, Bianjing, etc., and told the two elders.
The second old man was a little relieved, just a little bit.
Anyway, it wasn’t now. Xu Zhao didn’t plan to persuade Xu’s father and Xu’s mother once. Seeing that it was late, he took Xu Fan back to the east wing.
Then he squatted beside Xu Fan and asked, “Do you really want to go to the imperial capital with your father?”
Xu Fan nodded heavily.
“Then you promise Dad that after you go to the imperial capital, you must be obedient and not get angry.”
Xu Fan said in a clear voice: “I’m very good, I’m not angry.”
“Okay, then I’ll take you there.”
“Awesome!” Xu Fan was so happy.
The next day, Xu Fan and Dazhuang showed off that they were going to the imperial capital and took the big train for “going, eating, shopping and eating”. The big train was very big, bigger than a big car, and the “going and eating” was better than Nezha’s. Hot Wheels is still fast, go shopping and eat——
Dazhuang asked inexplicably, “Sanwazi, what is shopping and eating?”
Xu Fan replied: “You are so stupid, shopping and eating is the sound of a train!”
Dazhuang asked, “How do you know it’s the sound of a train?”
“My dad said it.” Xu Fan said proudly.
“Has your father ever seen a train?”
“My dad has seen everything.”
“Then has your father seen the Great Sage Monkey King?”
“I have seen.”
“Where have you seen it?”
“I saw it in my dad’s dream, and I saw it in my dream.”
Dazhuang was speechless by what Xu Fan said, took a penny from his pocket and said, “I’ll go buy Tang monk meat to eat.”
Xu Fan said, “I’ll go too.”
“Do you have money?”
“No, but you have to take me to eat.”
“Why?”
“The sour plum powder I bought that day took you to eat.”
Dazhuang said very nicely: “Okay, let’s go together.”
So the two children took a penny to buy Tang monk meat. After a while, they ran back and sat on the stool by the door. Looking at the situation of the garlic head, the garlic head is buried in the soil, and the exposed stalks have dried up and are suitable for harvesting.
Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, Xu and Li’s family pulled the garlic heads out of the ground and put them in the yard to dry. After two days of drying, Xu Zhao and Dazhuang’s father packed them in sacks and put them on the ox cart. When they went to the county together, they first delivered 40 to 50 catties to Jiangping Hotel, and the remaining 200 catties were sold in the vegetable market, which were sold out in one morning.
Near noon, Xu Zhao wanted to invite Dad Dazhuang to dinner, but Dad Dazhuang was unwilling to say anything, so Xu Zhao bought five biscuits from the vegetable market for Dad Dazhuang, and asked Dad Dazhuang to go back first, and he went to find Cui Dingchen.
Before looking for Cui Dingchen, Xu Zhao first came to Fan Xiaodian, settled the bill with Father Cui, divided the forty yuan, and then asked Father Cui, “Uncle Cui, is Qingfeng at home?”
“Yes.” Father Cui replied.
Xu Zhao asked, “Then why haven’t you seen him recently?”
Father Cui replied, “He was at his grandma’s place some time ago, and he only came back two days ago.”
No wonder it didn’t appear for many days.
Xu Zhao asked again, “What about uncle? Is uncle at your house?”
Father Cui said, “Yes.”
“Okay, I happened to have something to do with my uncle.”
“Go.”
So Xu Zhao carried a cloth bag of garlic heads and pulled Xu Fan towards Cui’s house. As soon as he entered the courtyard of Cui’s house, he saw Cui’s mother drying the quilt.
Xu Zhao just said hello, and Mother Cui happily came over to hug Xu Fan and said, “Oh, Sanwazi, you have finally come to the county seat.”
Xu Fan answered earnestly, “I’ll come to the county seat to sell garlic heads.”
“Yo, Sanwazi is selling garlic heads again.”
“Yeah.” Xu Fan nodded heavily.
Mother Cui laughed, touched Xu Fan’s fleshy face and hands, then turned her head and said to Xu Zhao, “Xu Zhao, this Xu Fan is still wearing a jacket, look how good the sun is, he is hot. Isn’t it hot?”
Xu Zhao said, “It’s okay to cover up in spring and freeze in autumn.”
Mother Cui said with a smile, “That’s right, but, have you bought Sanwazi’s clothes for spring? Now that you have money, don’t stop wearing it for Sanwazi.”
Xu Zhao smiled and said, “I’ll buy it in a while.”
Mother Cui also smiled and kissed Xu Fan and said, “Grandma Cui will bring you milk to drink, do you want to drink it?”
“drink.”
“go.”
Mother Cui happily hugged Xu Fan and walked towards the hall.
It happened that Cui Qingfeng came out of the main room.
I haven’t seen Cui Qingfeng for a week. Cui Qingfeng seems to have lost a little weight. Xu Zhao walked forward with a smile, patted Cui Qingfeng on the shoulder, and said, “Qingfeng, Happy New Year.”
Cui Qingfeng smiled and said, “Okay, why are you here?”
“Come to sell garlic, and find uncle by the way.”
Cui Qingfeng smiled and asked, “Why are you looking for Uncle?”
Xu Zhao answered frankly, “Let’s go to the imperial capital together.”
“Go to the imperial capital together?”
“Well, what about the uncle?”
“In, in the west wing.”
“Okay, I’ll go find him, this is for you.” Xu Zhao handed the cloth bag in his hand to Cui Qingfeng and said, “Here is garlic, for you.”
After saying that, Xu Zhao walked towards the west wing.
Cui Qingfeng stood in a trance with the cloth bag in his hands. After a while, he turned around and walked slowly to the door of the west wing. He gently pushed the hidden door open a crack and saw Xu Zhao and Cui Dingchen in the room.
