Rebirth 1983: Back to the day when his wife and daughter died

"Three cents a foot, this cloth is too cheap." Bai Qinghan couldn't help being shocked. Although she had never bought cloth in the years since she married Xu Yang, she knew that the cheapest cloth cost more than 10 cents.

One foot.

But when she heard Xu Yang say that he bought clothes for her and her daughter, the tip of Bai Qinghan's nose suddenly felt a little sore.

"You think making clothes is so easy. The cloth you bought last time will probably take a few days to make Tangtang's clothes. I think it's better to sell all the cloths!" Bai Qinghan said slowly.

"Indeed, making clothes by hand is slow and tiring. It would be nice to have a sewing machine."

At this time, Xu Yang couldn't help but think in his mind that when he made money, he would buy a sewing machine for Bai Qinghan.

"By the way, where is Tangtang?" Xu Yang asked immediately. This little guy usually likes to wait for him at the door, but he didn't see her when he came back this time.

"That little guy thought you wouldn't come back, and then when I was cooking, she insisted on helping me burn the pot. I asked her to help me watch the fire." Bai Qinghan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of her daughter.

"I said, why doesn't she come out?" This little guy listened to Bai Qinghan's words the most.

"You have a good rest here, I'm going to cook first, otherwise the little one won't be able to wait any longer." Bai Qinghan said with a smile.

"Bai Qinghan laughs more now!!" Looking at Bai Qinghan's back, Xu Yang felt that it was worth it no matter how tired he was.

Bai Qinghan hadn't even entered for a moment when Tangtang jumped out of the kitchen.

"Dad, are you tired? Tangtang will give you a pat on the back." He is truly a considerate little cotton-padded jacket.

Xu Yang couldn't help but kiss the little guy's cute face twice.

The moment of rest

Suddenly there was a sound of rattles outside

The little girl was obviously attracted when she heard the sound of the rattle.

But without Xu Yang's permission, he obviously didn't dare to run over, so he could only peek out secretly, but there was a corner in front of him, so he obviously couldn't see anything.

"What's wrong, Tangtang?" Seeing Tangtang's cute look, Xu Yang asked quickly.

"Selling goods, Tangtang wants to take a look." the little girl said in a sweet voice.

Seeing this, Xu Yang carried Tangtang over and then Xu Yang knew why Tangtang was so happy.

It turns out that the people here are pickers. In this era, the circulation of goods in rural areas basically relies on legs, not to mention that in Kaoshan Village, the only place to go to the market is in the countryside, so you can basically see pickers every once in a while in Kaoshan Village.

There are those who come to the village with burdens to sharpen knives, those who sell tofu, and so on.

In front of Xu Yang was an old man in his sixties or seventies, carrying a load of goods in one hand and shaking a rattle in the other, walking towards him.

Behind him were several children from the village, all of whom looked at his load with gleaming eyes.

"If you want to go, just go..." As soon as Xu Yang greeted Tangtang, he immediately became excited and ran over with short legs.

Xu Yang followed, and when he walked in, he saw that there were so many children following him.

Because there are two wooden boxes with transparent glass on the top, with drawers and mercury mirrors, which contain needles and threads, buttons, shoe uppers, women's flowers, powder, rouge, small mirrors, and children's toys.

, snacks, etc., all available.

The little girl looked at a pair of big eyes, staring at the contents of the wooden box without blinking.

When the old man saw that Tangtang was followed by an adult, he stopped in his tracks.

"Tangtang, what do you like, daddy will buy it for you." Xu Yang asked immediately when he saw Tangtang liked it very much.

After hearing what the adults around the child said, the old man agreed: "Little girl, I have a lot of fun and delicious food here. Let me open it for you to take a look."

"Grandpa, just take a look at Tangtang and don't buy it. Daddy will make a lot of money," the little guy said in a sweet voice.

Although the little old man felt a little disappointed when he saw this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw such a sensible child.

The little old man has been picking goods for so many years. When he shakes the rattle, children will basically run over.

Sometimes she would cry and ask the adults at home to buy it. At this age, how many of them are as sensible as this little girl?

"Tangtang, daddy is not tired. Tell daddy what you like."

Xu Yang said softly, and Tangtang was so sensible that it made him feel distressed. At this moment, there were only three words in his mind: he must buy it.

The little guy shook his head

"This little fool!!" Xu Yang sighed in his heart,

Then he said slowly: "Tangtang, mom will not say that dad spends money randomly. If you don't want it, dad will choose it for you. And dad will buy it for mom later."

"Tangtang wants to...want it." Sure enough, it was because of Bai Qinghan that the little guy obediently committed the crime whenever he mentioned Bai Qinghan.

Tangtang's star-like eyes looked at the cargo box and hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he pointed at the container and said in a sweet voice, "Dad, Tangtang wants this."

To Xu Yang's surprise, the sensible Tangtang chose a relatively "childish" toy, a small rattle, but it looked very good-looking.

"What else do you want?" Xu Yang continued to ask.

"Tangtang wants it." Tangtang said in a sweet voice,

"Okay, uncle, let's have this!" Xu Yang said to the old man.

"Okay, okay, this rattle costs thirty cents," the old man said happily.

Xu Yang gave the money, and then the old man took out the rattle from the container and handed it to Tangtang.

Looking at the rattle in front of her, Tangtang excitedly took it in her hand and started playing with it happily.

"Uncle, come to my house and I'll ask my wife if she wants to buy anything else."

"Okay~" There was business to be done, how could anyone refuse Dao Li, not to mention that pickers like them were originally from every household and village, so the old man happily followed Xu Yang while shaking his rattle.

Arrive at the courtyard gate

Xu Yang asked the little guy to call out Bai Qinghan. Seeing that Xu Yang had brought all the pickers, Bai Qinghan didn't feel sorry for the money this time.

Instead, he took the initiative to buy a needle and several buttons, apparently for making clothes.

………………

"Uncle, the money has been paid, why don't you leave? The money was not wrong." Xu Yang looked at the dazed uncle and couldn't help but ask.

"Little brother, the cloth you bought is good, why did you buy so much cloth?" The old man suddenly looked at the urgently packed cloth that had not yet arrived on Xu Yang's rack truck and asked hurriedly.

"Just brought back from the city." Xu Yang replied immediately.

"So much? Are you going to sell it? Little brother, see if you can sell me five or six feet. My grandson has just been born. I originally planned to go to the market to buy him a piece of cloth to make new clothes for him, but I didn't have any cloth tickets at home to go to the market.

It’s troublesome again.”

The old man said sincerely, obviously he was attracted by the cloth of Xu Yang's carriage, so he had no choice but to leave.

Xu Yang said happily: "It's for sale. If you want it, it will cost you eight cents per foot."

"Eight cents, so cheap. This is good cloth. Are you kidding me?"

The old man could tell at a glance that the cloth was good. When he heard that Xu Yang was selling it for only eight cents, he thought he was joking.
