Chapter Forty-Seven: Preparing to Go to the County Seat

Liu Yujin himself has come from a poor life, and when he saw the embarrassment of several cousins and cousins-in-law at the women's table, he instantly understood what he was embarrassed about. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info then opened his mouth to persuade: "In this way, we will all go tomorrow, with children, it is not cost-effective for so many of us to take the car, I want to find a tractor from the brigade headquarters to give a trip." Give Lao Xu a few rabbit meat and pheasant meat to make snacks, he can be so beautiful that his nose is foaming. However, the back of the tractor is open, there is no place to block the wind, and if the tractor runs, it will be too cold! I am afraid of freezing the child. ”

You can go to the county seat without spending money, of course, this matter is extremely happy, and several women of the Xie family immediately smiled and packed the tickets: "It's okay! Our children in the mountains are the most frozen, and sometimes the mountain wind is blowing so loudly that they don't have to play outside without home." I haven't seen anyone shouting cold!"

"yes! I can hold the baby to block him from the wind, it's fine!"

......

The children also said: "Cousin, I'm not afraid of the cold!"

"Uncle Cousin, I'm not afraid of the cold!"

......

"Since you both agree, then so decide. After a while, I will take two rabbit meat and two mountain chickens, and turn around on the way to my father-in-law's house to Lao Xu's house, and ask him to get up early tomorrow to send us to the county seat. By the way, I see that many of the rabbits and pheasants you have brought are alive, so why don't you bring them with you tomorrow, and I will help you sell them. According to my estimate, I will definitely be able to meet the predetermined ones, and the cadres in the factory will be like wild things in the mountains. If you can set more orders, you can get more live ones when you go home, and the price can be high. ”

Brothers Xie Zhihong and Brother Xie Zhiguo were so excited that they wanted to shed tears! At the beginning, his father helped the lobby uncle to raise the brothers and sisters of the Liu family, and several members of their family had great opinions, and of course the brothers were not happy. First of all, the Liu family is not a serious relative of their own door, and there are two houses between them! Second, their own life is not easy, although they planted another season of corn next. But it was not in season after all, and the corn cob that grew out was like a half-bald man, and the corn kernels grew like the old lady's tooth plate, a little bigger, and all the skin. Although everyone left some taro down, the taro was not eaten at all. If one person eats one, there will be a small pile of less at once. However, his family's situation is so bad, his father still has to be affectionate, and use his family's already scarce food to support other people's relatives, and raise it for several months.

A few days ago, the uncle told them to pick up a few loads of corn and go down the mountain with them to exchange rice, and the brothers were still a little apprehensive. After all, the brothers and sisters of the Liu family were blown away by the children of their Xie family, and they were afraid that they would show their faces when they came over this time. It's just that I didn't expect that when I arrived here, I was warmly entertained by my cousin's daughter-in-law, and at this time, my cousin was still planning this and that for their family. This made the two brothers feel ashamed and embarrassed, and at the same time remembered what their father had said: 'Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi! People have a long life, and there will always be a time when you need help!'

Because there is still something to do after the meal, everyone no longer drinks and tastes food slowly, and quickly packs up after a full meal, ready to fry chestnuts and walnuts.

Liu Yujin brought a flashlight, and asked the brothers Chengshu and Chengmu and Shounan, one of whom followed him with a torch, and first made a detour to the home of the tractor master Lao Xu.

In winter, it gets dark early, and families go to bed early in order to save fuel. Lao Xu's family has children studying and doing homework, but he can see that one window is bright. Liu Yujin was afraid of scaring the child who was doing homework, so he gently patted the door of Lao Xu's house first, and heard the child asking, "Who?"

Only then did he reply loudly: "I am Liu Yujin of the Shutang production group, is your uncle at home?

A voice came from inside: "My uncle has already slept, you wait a while, I'll call him!"

It didn't take long for Lao Xu to grope his way over and open the door with a big cotton jacket and cotton pants.

"Brother Liu, is there anything important for you to come over on such a big night?" Lao Xu asked Liu Yujin with some concern. Everyone is an old acquaintance, so naturally they don't want anything bad to happen.

Liu Yujin smiled "hehe", followed Lao Xu into the house, and when he arrived at the hall with lights, he grinned and raised the two rabbit meat and two furry pheasants in his hand to Lao Xu's eyes: "There is no important matter, just this good thing!

As soon as Lao Xu saw the rabbit, his eyes were bright and bright, and he was so excited that he forgot his hand that was still lifting his pants, and as soon as he let go, he was about to pick up the rabbit meat and pheasant in Liu Yujin's hand. Fortunately, his cotton pants were not big-waisted pants, and when he was about to fall, as soon as he spread his legs, he left the cotton pants that were snorting down on his buttocks. He hurriedly lifted up his pants and asked Liu Yujin with a smile: "Brother Liu, where did you get this good thing?

"Grass! You are so wise, why don't you go to the army to work as a staff officer? I really just want to use a tractor to send us to the county seat early tomorrow morning, can you walk away?"

"Others can't do it, you say, it's not a matter of words! What time do you leave tomorrow? I'll be waiting for you at the intersection of Zhouzhuang. ”

The children of the old Xu family have already taken the rabbit meat and pheasants to the eaves of the porch and hung them, and Liu Yujin's free hand patted Lao Xu's shoulder: "Enough fun! You can eat these two rabbits today, and next time my relatives in the mountains come over, I will ask them to get you a few more and give you wine." Tomorrow we mainly want to go to the county seat to sell a few live rabbits and pheasants, and make a price, that is, the sooner the better. So I thought it would be best to leave home at six o'clock, can you get up?"

"Cut! You treat me like a child? I'm so old that I can't get out of bed?! Then I'll be waiting for you at the intersection at 5:50 tomorrow, you have to move quickly, don't delay for half a day!"

"That's it! I'm going to my father-in-law's house to talk about something, so I won't delay you from sleeping. Tomorrow morning, I don't have to make breakfast with my sister-in-law, we will eat directly in the breakfast shop in the county seat. ”

"Okay!Okay!Then I won't send you!" Lao Xu asked his son to go out with Liu Yujin to bolt the door, he really didn't send guests, and turned around and went into the bedroom.

went to Wang's house and explained the matter briefly, and the four of them hurriedly walked back, and they had to get up early tomorrow, and they didn't want to go to bed too late, so as not to suffer when they got up.

When they arrived home, the women of the family had already fried the chestnuts and walnuts, and picked out the bad ones and dried them all in the big camel dustpan.

Seeing that the hall was full of people, two kerosene lamps were lit. Not only did the four eldest children of their own family not sleep, but even a few of the children among the guests did not sleep, one by one under the belly of the table, playing very happily, more lively than the New Year. Don't think about it, it's just waiting for them to come back. Liu Yujin, who stepped into the house, couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Why don't you sleep?! You have to get up early tomorrow! Don't wait for me." ”

"We won't wait for you, okay?!We must know if you have negotiated with Master Xu!"

Liu Yujin helplessly looked at his daughter-in-law who spoke without subtlety, can't he leave a thought for himself? ! Why do you have to say it so bluntly? Only Wang Hongying can understand his eyes, glanced at him, and said secretly: Learn from you!

"It's done! Wait for us at the intersection at 5:50. Stop playing, go to sleep! If you can't get up tomorrow, I won't take you with me!"

Liu Yujin replied to his daughter-in-law's words while threatening a few children who were playing crazy. The children also recognized his threat, and immediately ran to their respective mothers nervously, dragged their mothers' clothes, and made a fuss about going to sleep.

Hearing that there was a tractor to take them to the county seat, Liu Baiquan didn't want to take care of his son's livestock and the two cows he had just bought back this time, and wanted to follow them to the county seat. Instead, he called Zhu Linglong a joke: "Those young people and children go to play, you bad old man follow what kind of fun?

"Alas, then I won't go!" Liu Baiquan was a little regretful, but after all, he was not a young man, and he would not be disappointed if he didn't go.
