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

Xu Yang made a fragrant braised pork with white sugar, then made a stir-fried green vegetable, and even cooked a few eggs.

Since it got dark a little early, it was almost dark by the time Xu Yang finished cooking. Xu Yang lit the kerosene lamp, but it didn't feel too bright.

I turned on the metal flashlight I just bought, and the light from the flashlight instantly made the whole house feel bright.

Tangtang looked at this thing with a pair of big watery eyes.

Because she had never seen anything so bright, and she rarely ate in the dark because her family didn’t even have oil for kerosene lamps at home before.

Seeing Tangtang's curious look, Xu Yang wanted to make money quickly, connect electricity to his home, install light bulbs, and buy a TV first. Tangtang would definitely be happy.

However, it will probably take a year or two to get electricity to villages at the foot of mountains like Kaoshan Village, which is not something Xu Yang can change easily. However, compared to buying a house in the county, it is much easier.

"Dad, what is this? It's so bright!" Tangtang pointed at the flashlight excitedly and asked with a loud voice.

"This is a flashlight~" Xu Yang said with a smile.

"..."

"Okay, you two, hurry up and eat." Seeing that Tangtang didn't even bother to eat, Bai Qinghan couldn't help but urge her.

Bai Qinghan just finished speaking

The little guy immediately hugged his big bowl and started eating with relish.

"Dad, it's delicious." After finishing the meal, he didn't forget to praise Xu Yang.

After dinner, Bai Qinghan gave the little one a bath. It was much more convenient to have a boiling water bottle to store hot water.

Then Bai Qinghan specially treated Xu Yang's inflamed wound.

After finishing the work

It's already almost eight o'clock at night, and it doesn't get dark for a while in Kaoshan Village.

They were all lying in bed, because the basic principle in Kaoshan Village is to save whatever you can. Lighting a lamp consumes too much fuel and few people would be willing to do so.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Qinghan also went to take a shower, and hearing the voice, Xu Yang was already thinking about it...

The next day Xu Yang got up early in the morning. He went to bed too early and woke up too early, unless he was too tired to pull the cart by himself like before.

Bai Qinghan and the little guy also got up very early,

after washing

Bai Qinghan was cooking in the kitchen at this time, and Tangtang was following Xu Yang this time.

While the meal was not yet ready, Xu Yang was building the donkey shed that he had not finished yesterday.

The little guy volunteered to help Xu Yang deliver the things. Unfortunately for her, she was so short, and the roof of the donkey shed was already in a mess.

So I first dug a hole in front of the yard, mixed some weeds in the mud to increase its stickiness, then poured water on it and stirred it.

Then spread a layer of straw on the top of the donkey shed covered with bamboo.

Then the mixed soil was spread over, and in a moment the roof of the shed was airtight to block the sun from the donkey. It would be no problem.

But considering that if it rains, the soil on top may be washed away,

For this reason, Xu Yangbu took off the tiles from the chicken pen and placed them on the roof of the donkey shed.

Anyway, there are only two old hens, and the chicken coop is decades old, with more or less stones added to both sides.

It is estimated that even if it rains heavily, it will not have any impact. At worst, the old hens will live together in the donkey shed.

All that's left is to seal up both sides of the donkey shed. This complete donkey shed is considered good.

Before Xu Yang could continue, he heard Bai Qinghan shouting for dinner.

After dinner, Xu Yang planned to go to Liujia Village to sell cloth and collect eels and loaches.

As the name of Liujia Village suggests, most people in the village have the surname Liu. Compared with Kaoshan Village, people live more densely.

There are many people but also many fields. Unlike the mountain villages, although the place is large, it is basically covered with mountains.

Xu Yang first untied the donkey rope and tied it in front of the cart.

By the way, put a barrel, sacks and a basin in the car.

He didn't bring much cloth, he only brought the remaining cloth that hadn't been sold out. How much he sold on the first day was second, and his main priority was publicity first.

After it was done, before Xu Yang was ready to talk to Bai Qinghan, he saw the little guy running over in a hurry.

"Dad, Tangtang, I also want to go with you." The little guy said pitifully.

How could Xu Yang refuse this little guy?

Of course, it would be better if Bai Qinghan goes with him. Anyway, there is a donkey pulling him, so he doesn't have to worry about his wife and children getting tired.

"Since the little one is going, take her with you. Tangtang should follow daddy and don't run around~"

Seeing that Tangtang wanted to go with Xu Yang, Bai Qinghan didn't refuse. After all, Liujia Village was eight or nine miles away, unlike in the county where people were so crowded.

"Okay~" the little guy agreed with his cute breasts.

"If you don't know Han, you can go too. Anyway, it's convenient to have a car." Xu Yang took advantage of the situation and said what was in his heart.

"Yesterday, sister Xiuying said she would come to me today to teach her how to sew clothes, but I couldn't go."

The Xiuying girl Bai Qinghan mentioned, Xu Yang knew her full name was Yu Xiuying. Yesterday she bought more than ten feet of cloth. She was only eighteen years old and was already the mother of two children. She got married very early in this era.

.

Well, Xu Yang Weiwei was a little disappointed because someone else had arrived first. So Xu Yang had no choice but to drive the donkey cart and take Tangtang, the milk baby, to Liujia Village.

More than twenty minutes later, Xu Yang carried the donkey to Liujia Village.

Although this is the village closest to Kaoshan Village, it is not on the main road leading to the township and county level, so Xu Yang has rarely been here before.

Along the way, there was almost farmland, and many villagers were working in the fields after dinner.

He drove the donkey cart to the most conspicuous location at the entrance of Liujia Village. From here, he could see many people farming.

Unlike Kaoshan Village, he didn't know anyone except a few people who came here to sell eels before, so Xu Yang used the simplest and most direct method in this era - hawking.

So he stopped the car and picked up Tangtang, then tied the donkey to a nearby tree and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I'll take the bastard eel for a dime a pound."

"Selling cotton cloth for eight cents a foot."

"A dime a pound,"

"Selling cotton cloth...one foot"

Before Xu Yang finished speaking, he heard Tangtang Milk's milky voice shouting after him, but he couldn't remember the words.

"This little fool!"

Xu Yang's voice was very loud. Many people were planting rice in the fields at the entrance of the village, so they should be able to hear it. The most important thing is that there are two big trees here, so Tangtang is not afraid of being bitten.

hear sounds

At that moment, the man straightened up and looked curiously towards the entrance of the village.

"What are you calling, collecting bastard eels and selling cotton cloth?"

"I don't know, I didn't understand!"

"What the hell, it's this thing again."

A man who was planting rice in the field took out an eel from the mud hole and threw it hard on the field ridge. He frowned and said, "This thing is very annoying. My field is often made holes by this thing.

"

"Who isn't? It's just a hole. You don't know, the eel hole in Tiandu next door to Liu Hai's house was penetrated, and all the water in the field was gone. But he was so angry that he hurriedly opened the hole.

dug up,

Guess what, he dug up a three-pound eel, which looked like a snake and was chopped into half with a shovel."

When the farm man in the field next to him heard this, he also complained in his heart and stood up to echo.

"By the way, Liu Si and his family have been catching eels every day lately. Although his family is poor, they don't eat those things. Are they for human consumption?"
