Chapter 39: The Xu Family
Hearing this, Xu Changchun was about to laugh angrily, "The life of the two of you is not easy enough, isn't it?" With a group of eight or nine-year-old children in a job, I don't blush. ”
"What's so good about blushing, we do it lightly, and we take less centimeters!" Xu Xiaoxi is right.
"Then how do you know that your friend Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn't want a centimeter-high job?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoxi waved his hand again and again, "No!" No! Xiaoxiao still wants to grow a little longer, but he definitely can't grow up with heavy work. ”
Xu Changchun's father and son couldn't help but be silent when they thought of Dawn's pitiful height.
Xu Xiaoxi didn't give his father a chance to refuse at all, "Dad, if you don't say anything, I'll take care of you as a promise, and you will take care of Xiaoxiao more in the future." Saying that, he thought he was considerate and compared a small section of his finger on his little thumb to Xu Changchun, "It doesn't need to be too special, just a little eccentric, it won't affect the majesty of Dad, you in the hearts of the people in the village." ”
Xu Changchun said with a paralyzed face that he wanted to drag this girl out and beat her to death.
Fortunately, Xu Ma Qi Suyun broke the siege in time, "Okay!" You can send it if you want, how about we send a bowl of homemade miso? Although this thing is not a precious thing, it is more practical and can be eaten. ”
Xu Xiaoxi thought about it and nodded in agreement, the sauce is good, there is a lack of everything when dawn just came, this is just a side dish.
In the afternoon, as soon as I got to work, I got off early because of a sudden shower.
The villagers did not complain because the centimeter was less than half, but they were jubilant, the spring rain was as expensive as oil, and the rain in early summer was not bad.
Dawn originally thought that today's clothes would not be done, but she didn't think that Xu Xiaoxi would bring her scissors and her family's sauce in straw sandals in a cloak.
At this time, the few of them just hurriedly blocked the window with a large piece of white cloth contributed by dawn, but fortunately, the eaves of the house were still quite large, blocking most of the rain, otherwise the kang would be wet.
Seeing Xu Xiaoxi coming, Xiaoxiao hurriedly welcomed someone into the room, handed her a dry towel and asked her to wipe her face, "Since you're here, stay longer, just talk to me, maybe the rain won't last long." ”
The three people in the same room all knew that Xu Xiaoxi was the captain's daughter, and they all expressed a warm welcome regardless of what they thought in their hearts.
There were other people in the house this time, so Dawn didn't take anything out to eat, but only poured a cup of hot water for Xu Xiaoxi to drink to warm her body.
Then he began to learn how to make clothes with Xue Mei seriously.
With scissors, Xue Mei was very fast, cutting a piece of fabric with a few clicks, and then began to teach Dawn how to sew.
Xu Xiaoxi is not interested in making clothes at all, and she is more favored at home, so no one forces her if she doesn't want to learn.
However, she herself doesn't like it and won't deliberately interrupt her friend's study, so she picks up simple topics and chats with Dawn, talking about the daily life of the village, and occasionally three other educated youths interject a sentence or two.
Dawn quickly learned how to start, and while taking the clothes and sewing, she asked Xu Xiaoxi, "How is the supply and marketing cooperatives in this township?" Is it all stocked? ”
"Township?" Xu Xiaoxi shook his head decisively, "You think, you can't even buy a warm pot, and the things are definitely not complete, so there is no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needlework and matches."
What are you going to buy? ”
I knew that there wouldn't be too many things here, but I didn't expect such a dish?
Dawn had a headache, "We mainly want to buy an iron pot." ”
Hearing that she was going to buy a pot at dawn, the other three educated youths all looked at her in surprise, and Xue Mei was purely a little surprised.
But Chen Fangfang and Wu Qin felt unbelievable, and when they first met, they both felt that she must be very poor.
Not only does Chen Fangfang, who has a good family background, have a sense of superiority, but even Wu Qin, who has never liked to talk and has average family conditions, thinks so.
But I didn't expect that after two days of contact, Dawn refreshed their cognition day by day.
Let's not talk about rice, meat and cloth, now it seems that there is still money and tickets.
Chen Fangfang was a little jealous in her heart, but in the next second, she found a reason.
Xiaoxiao said "we" just now, does that mean that these money tickets are not their brother and sister's, and Yang Qingshan and Liu Xiaohai's share?
You must know that if you want to buy a pot, in addition to money, you need more than a dozen to twenty industrial tickets, which can not be taken out at once, and an ordinary worker has to save for a year.
Thinking that several people had been eating together for the two days she had been here, Chen Fangfang thought she had found a reason.
Thinking about it like this, the little discomfort in her heart was also suppressed.
Compared with Chen Fangfang's brain supplement, although Wu Qin does not have a strong sense of existence, he is a person with a successful heart.
She thought that she didn't care if Dawn was bragging, she just listened first, she was embarrassed if she couldn't buy it, she really bought it in the same house, if she wanted to borrow it, she must be embarrassed to refuse.
She had a good idea, but she didn't know that Dawn had no intention of putting the pot in the dormitory of the female intellectual.
Fortunately, Dawn didn't know what the two of them thought, otherwise they would have to hehe.
"If you really want to buy it, then you can only go to the prefecture, right? I've grown up so much that I've only been to the county once, when do you want to go? ”
"The day after tomorrow!" Dawn is more thinking about how to get rid of his eldest brother and act alone.
Xu Xiaoxi's face was full of pity, "No, the day after tomorrow, the team still has to work, and my father will definitely not let me go." ”
As soon as she said this, everyone else looked at it, and Chen Fangfang couldn't help it first, "Isn't the spring ploughing over?" What's more? ”
She thought she could finally slow down!
"Of course!" Xu Xiaoxi rolled her eyes in the face of her questioning tone, "The serious land is planted, but you can still grow cotton at the foot of the sunny mountain, otherwise what to wear in winter?" ”
Although there is not much cotton in the family, it is still possible to repair the old cotton clothes.
Hearing this, dawn's heart moved, she was really sleepy and sent a pillow, she was thinking about how to get rid of her eldest brother, and the opportunity came.
…………
When the rain gradually stopped, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Xiaoxi returned to his home.
At dinner, Jiang Chaoyang unexpectedly disagreed with Dawn's proposal, "How can you go by yourself?" Wait for me for a few more days! ”
Dawn shook her little head and reminded, "Brother! In a few days, you will be willing to give up your share? ”
This is a point-to-the-point question, Jiang Chaoyang is a little congested, ten centimeters a day, he is really reluctant to give up.
Dawn turned his head to Yang Qingshan and Liu Xiaohai again, "Are you willing to take leave?" ”
Yang Qingshan shook his head again and again, Liu Xiaohai smiled a little shyly, "Although I really want to go out for a walk, I have to take a day off to go to the county, so I am a little reluctant." ”
If he goes to the township, he may be ruthless enough to take half a day off.
It's not that they're picking, it's that they're about to face the dilemma of having no food, and nothing else matters compared to starvation.
