Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 85: Happy Family
"Yes, Brother Song, my mom told me that we have enough money at home. If Brother Song wants to give me half of the money he earned this time, I won't refuse. I will pay for whatever he wants to buy later." The little schoolbag had a happy face and didn't look distressed at all.

"How much?" Dai Song raised his eyebrows. "It's only about 2,000 yuan in total. How much will be left after you pay?"

"It's okay, Brother Song! Compared to what you've done for me, this money is nothing." The little schoolbag's thin, dark face was full of sincerity.

"..." Dai Song held his forehead, "Boy, even if you decide to join the national team, you still have to spend a lot of money. Don't you know that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts?"

"It's okay, Brother Song! I just need to spend sparingly!" Little Schoolbag scratched his head with a smile, "Brother Song helped me and my mom get through the days when we didn't have money. Now that we have money, I have nothing to be afraid of!"

Dai Song breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, Xiao Shubao's family really couldn't save a penny before. After arriving in Tuanjietun, they could only live in a shabby house in the south of the village, and they couldn't even afford to eat.

But even so, other gangsters bullied the mother and son, but Xiao Shubao never gave in. With such a will, if he were sent to practice sports, he might really be able to make a name for himself.

Thinking of this, Dai Song didn't act pretentiously and patted Xiao Shubao's shoulder. "Then shall we contact Fei Junming later?"

"OK!"

The two of them walked around the store again. While Xiao Shubao was buying things, Dai Song asked about the prices of the washing machine and color TV.

Color TV 1500, washing machine 600.

Dai Song gave Xiao Shubao 2622.5 yuan, and spent 2100 yuan in one shot. This kid is really generous.

Thinking of this, Dai Song couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He tapped the counter with his fingers and said to the teller,
"I'll pay for what the young man buys later."

"Oh, OK, you two are brothers, right? That guy looked so shabby, but I didn't expect him to be so generous when he took out the money. You didn't see it. He didn't even blink, like a magic trick."

The teller said, imitating the little schoolbag's movements, reaching into his crotch, and then slapping it on the table.
"Hey! I saved it just like that! I thought it was fake money! I stared at it and counted it for a long time!"

Dai Song's forehead was slightly sweaty when he heard this. Fortunately, it was a male clerk today, otherwise the small schoolbag would have been taken away by Comrade Hat before he came back.

Then the little backpack brought something, and the clerk quietly settled the bill with Dai Song.

The little schoolbag moved a lot, but in the end he just bought some household items and food that were not available in the Xiangdongfang store, and spent just over a hundred yuan.

Dai Song leaned against the counter, watching the teller pack his things.

"Little schoolbag, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"No, Brother Song," the little schoolbag scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Oh!" Dai Song ruffled the little schoolbag's hair and said to the teller, "Put these things here first, and we'll come and get them later."

Seeing the teller agreed, the two went to the bulletin phone booth in the town center to contact Fei Junming.

After listening to Dai Song's explanation, Fei Junming kept patting his belly on the other end of the phone.
However, he had something else on hand, and it would take half an hour before he could meet the two of them. He invited Dai Song and Xiao Shubao to go to Shunqing Noodle House first.
He ordered a mutton hotpot and some cold dishes, and the two of them ate there first, and waited for him to come and they ate and chatted.

Dai Song agreed, and after confirming the time and place, he took his schoolbag to the police station to change his surname...

Half an hour later, Shunqing Noodle House.

The three met.

Fei Junming took off his cotton jacket, revealing a well-dressed suit, and said with a smile,

"Mr. Dai! I happened to be at the police station that day, and your story is now being spread all over town!

No wonder Xie Shubao is so skilled!
Xie Shubao, believe me, I have a good eye for you. You will definitely become a medal-winning athlete in the future!"

The little schoolbag looked at Dai Song beside him with burning eyes.

Dai Song smiled and reminded, "Teacher Fei, Xiao Shubao has the same last name as his mother, so he will be called Wen Shubao from now on."

"Oh! OK, sorry, sorry!" Fei Junming sat on the chair and bowed slightly towards the small schoolbag, without any airs at all.

Dai Song continued, “Teacher Fei, Xiao Shubao and her mother have thought about this decision for a long time, and they take it very seriously.

It's just that Xiao Shubao's mother is not in good health, and it's too tiring to go back and forth between the town and the village, so I'm the one who's going to discuss this with you. I'm not being arrogant, please don't mind."

"I understand!" Fei Junming stood up quickly, held Dai Song's hand, and swayed for a while before sitting down again. "I definitely won't mind! Then I'll tell you in detail about the team I'm in charge of and the mission."

Three people sat around a round table, with a steaming mutton pot in the middle and Fei Junming talking about the bright future in their ears.

"…So, although we are facing two major sports powers, the United States and Russia, I see the potential of Xiao Shubao. I believe that after systematic training, Xiao Shubao will definitely be able to win the championship!"

"So according to Coach Fei, Little Bookbag is going to start training now?"

"Yes! If possible, I will take classmate Wen Shubao to Liao Province tomorrow. The sooner the better for training."

"I'm afraid not tomorrow." Dai Song shook his head. "Xiao Shubao usually lives with his mother. He and you went to Liao Province for training, so you must first settle down the family."

"Oh! Then in two days." Fei Junming straightened his chest, "Student Wen Shubao, don't worry, as long as you can enter the national team, you will receive subsidies! 30 yuan per month!

You can also participate in other competitions during this period. After winning, you will not only get the prize money from the event organizer, but we will also give you an additional incentive money!

In other words, as long as you train hard and achieve good results, you don’t have to worry about money!
Moreover, the money can be sent back to you via postal service. When the time comes, just contact Mr. Dai or your village chief and ask him to help you get it for your mother."

Little Schoolbag looked at Dai Song with shining eyes.

Dai Song nodded. "Okay, Coach Fei, we already know the details. We'll just wait for Xiao Shubao to go back and tell his mother what we talked about. I'll contact Coach Fei right away after he settles down at home."

"Okay, okay! Hey! Why don't you eat? Eat! Their mutton is very famous! Dip it in this chive sauce, it's absolutely delicious!"

Fei Junming grinned as he invited the two to eat. His yellow teeth immediately scared the female customers who were peeking at him and made them concentrate on eating their noodles.

It was the first time for Xiao Shubao to eat something so delicious. He chewed each bite slowly and savored the taste for a long time.

Fei Junming saw this and before leaving, he asked the boss to prepare some mutton and side dishes for Xiao Shubao to take back.

After the meal, everyone was happy.

Dai Song looked at his watch and found that it was still early for the time he had agreed to meet Wang Tu Douzi, so he and Xiao Shubao went back to the state-owned store.

Knowing that he would not be able to be with his mother to take care of her for a long time, Xiao Shubao became determined and bought a lot of things he could use.

Dai Song also helped him choose, and bought some exquisite skin care products for the women in the family. In the end, he spent nearly five hundred yuan.

Of course, the money was paid by Dai Song.

Xiao Shubao said he would pay him back when he made money. Dai Song told him to train hard and if he achieved good results in the competition, he could live a good life with him. Xiao Shubao happily agreed.

When Wang Tu Douzi drove his tractor to pick them up, he was so shocked by the "little pile" of things they had bought that his head turned red.

The three of them worked together for a long time before they could barely get all the things onto the tractor. The tail cover could not be closed, so they had to hold it up with two draw ropes.

When we returned to the village, it was already dark.

It was the first time that Dai Song felt such strong joy in this dilapidated courtyard. He helped Xiao Shubao move things. Every time he entered the house, he could hear Xiao Shubao's mother exclaiming happily,

"Really~ My little schoolbag has made progress~"

"Son, you are awesome! Don't worry about mom, just go ahead and do it!
Can I contact my family during this period?

It's good to be able to ~ Take good care of yourself outside ~
Remember to tell mom in advance when you come back, so she can prepare your favorite dishes in advance~"

"Good boy, mom is really proud of you..."

Dai Song and Wang Tu Douzi smiled at each other outside the house and did not disturb the mother and son. After moving the things, they got on the tractor and left.

Dai family.

Dai Song paid the fare and called Dai Bai out.

When he saw the two large items and a pile of stuff in the car, he was stunned.

It was only when Dai Song, who had lifted a corner of the washing machine, urged him that he finally responded.
"Songzi, these things must cost a lot of money. If mom scolds you later, I can't help you!"

Dai Song smiled calmly and said nothing more. The two brothers moved the things into the house one by one with swift hands and feet.

At first, everyone in the room was full of anticipation. Dai Song went to the town to sell mallets today, and given his personality, he would definitely buy something when he came back.

Dai Song did not disappoint them. He brought them cloth, cotton, and many other small items.
When Xiao Yingying saw the big bag of toys, she was immediately confused.

He squatted in front of the toy hill with his little butt raised, and kept praising it with "Wow~Wow~Wow~".

Dai Song just put his things down in a hurry and went out again without saying anything.

This made the little girl afraid to move, so she squatted beside the pile of toys, with her hands behind her back, her eyes full of stars.

After the two brothers moved the washing machine and the TV into the house, the rest of the people gathered around the two things.

"Brother! This is a TV!" Dai Xiaoqian couldn't believe her eyes. This thing was only available in the big conference room in the school.

"Songzi, this thing isn't expensive, is it?" Tang Liping kept winking at Dai Song.

"No matter how expensive it is, buying it means we can afford it. Songzi, come on, plug it in and turn it on and have a look! We can watch TV at home too! This is really awesome!" Dai Shuzhi also chimed in.

"Okay! Just wait! I'll go outside and get an antenna!"

Dai Song walked out of the house, but was stopped by Jiang Weiqin.
"I'll suck your ass for a while."

Dai Song was slightly panicked, but quickly regained his composure.

Jiang Weiqin walked up to him, her tone surprisingly calm, "I bought these for you, does Xiaowan know?"

Dai Song was startled. Although he was very surprised, he continued to speak methodically.

"Yeah, Xiaowan and I have discussed it."

"Oh, sure. Go ahead and do it. Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you to eat!"

"well."

Just as Dai Song was about to push the door open, Jiang Weiqin stopped him.

"Old man, wait a minute! What the hell are you doing?"

Hearing Jiang Weiqun say this, Dai Song finally let go of his worries and thought that this was just what he wanted.

He turned around and smiled at the storm, only to see Jiang Weiqin standing next to Xiao Yingying, with her hands on her hips, staring at him.
"After buying the toy, he didn't even tell my precious granddaughter that it was for her. My granddaughter is jealous and can only squat here and stare at it!"

After hearing what Jiang Weiqin said, Dai Song reacted immediately and hurried over to Xiao Yingying, picked up a brand new tin frog and handed it to her.
"Yingying~ Dad was negligent and forgot to tell you. Here, these are all Yingying's~"

The little girl was immediately delighted. She stood up straight using her hands and feet, hugged Dai Song's neck tightly, and kissed him on the face. Her baby voice was almost bursting with joy.
"Thank you dad~"

"Hey~ Yingying is so good. Go play first. Daddy is going out to install an antenna. When he comes back, Daddy will tell you the story about the monkey, okay?"

The little girl couldn't tell the difference between seeing and hearing yet. She held the brand new tin frog in her hands, and when she heard about the monkey, she immediately smiled with a row of small teeth showing, and nodded obediently.

When Dai Song saw his daughter's adorable little appearance, the blood in his heart instantly boiled. All the efforts he had made before were just for this moment!

He hurried out of the house and installed the antenna on the firewood rack. After it was fixed, he went back to the house and turned on the TV.

Dai Bai had placed the TV on the kang in the main room.

The food was reheated and the family sat in a row against the wall facing the TV.

"Brother! Drive faster! I remember there are TV dramas on CCTV at this time!" Dai Xiaoqian was so excited that she wanted to come up to help.

Xiao Yingying held a steamed bun in her hands and nibbled on it in small bites, while her watery eyes stared at the gray TV without blinking.

Jiang Weiqin also looked expectant, and couldn't find the meaning of "repaying later". Seeing Dai Song looking at her, she said,

"What? Hurry up! Everyone is waiting! Don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up!"

"Okay!" Dai Song smiled happily, all the pressure in his heart disappeared. He rubbed his hands and pressed the power button.

Puff—the TV came out.

The colorful "world" on the screen instantly caught everyone's attention.

But before everyone could figure out what was being broadcast, Dai Song started turning the knob.

"Hey! Slow down!" Jiang Weiqun stretched her neck.

"Brother, that one looks great! Pour it back!"

"What the hell is this? I don't understand it. Hey! This is interesting! Oh~ why did it change again?"

"Don't be anxious!" Dai Song responded with a frown, his hands moving non-stop.

After turning the knob for half a turn, he finally found the program he wanted.

When Dai Song heard the familiar music on TV, his brows instantly relaxed.

I heard Xiao Yingying shouting excitedly behind me,
"Dad is a monkey" (Note 1)

Dai Song turned around and saw steamed bread crumbs hanging from his daughter's mouth, her bright eyes full of admiration for him!
Note: The 83 version of Journey to the West started filming in 82 and continued until 88, and was broadcast in 86. This version was broadcast a little earlier due to the advancement of the plot.
