Chapter Eighty-Four: Wax Moon
After the last trip to other township streets, and 3,000 sets of clothing into the city, it was the beginning of the lunar month, and those vendors officially started the last purchase of the year, not much time, only five days, these five days Guo Qu has been staying in the city.
It was not until the morning of the sixth day, when the sky was gray and the clouds were low, that no one came to buy the goods.
Back at home, Guo Qu became idle.
The clouds in the sky began to rise again, but at the same time as they were rising, it began to rain lightly.
As soon as it was blown by the wind in the air, it began to whirl, and the trajectory changed completely, and when the drizzle began to whirl, they looked so beautiful, so free, so charming because of freedom.
The rain was mixed with scattered light snow, that is, sleet, and Guo Qu stood in the open air, tilting his head, feeling the cold rain and snow falling on his face.
He likes rain and snow, but his favorite is sleet, when the rain or snow droplets fall on his face, the chill invades his body at that moment, so he can't help but shiver, and then looks at the sky with wide eyes, watching a small raindrop grow from nothing and finally drop in his eyes, at that moment, he feels that his whole body has been baptized.
The loquat flowers on the high mountains are blooming, to be precise, they are so tough, they always bloom every year when the weather comes.
Guo Qu felt like a pipa flower, the colder the day, the more it had to bloom.
Loquat, he always blooms when the weather is the driest and the coldest, just like Guo Qu who has been reborn, from nothing to 100,000 families today.
Yes, he earned 100,000 yuan, and the 100,000 yuan in addition to the necessities of life and all kinds of necessary expenses was also 100,000 yuan at the end of '94.
Very happy, happy from the bottom of my heart.
Coal was burning in the stove, and after standing outside for more than ten minutes, Guo went back to the stove and quietly roasted the fire.
The family gathered around the stove, and the door was shut, as if to prevent someone from suddenly breaking in, in fact, on such a cold day, who wants to run around with nothing to do?
Guo Qu's mother took the money out of the room, and then the family happily counted the money, counting the money is the happiest time for the family, don't believe it?
The girl looked at this scene curiously, looking at the money pressed with iron by the fire, she curiously stretched out her hand to grab the money, but was hugged away by the old man.
Speaking of which, this girl has no concept of money, because whatever she wants, the rest of the family buys it for her.
Although she didn't know what to do with the money at this time, her curiosity made her very curious to count the money.
However, the old man was not ready to touch it, so her mouth was deflated again, and the tears were about to fall again.
"Crying cat!"
Guo went to scratch the girl's nose, and then handed her a dollar, she took the money curiously and looked at it carefully, and looked at the money in her mother's hand from time to time.
She found out that it was different, maybe the money in her hand was not as good as the money in her mother's place, she still cried, crying so heartbroken, maybe she was full of grievances, as if she was telling: Obviously her mother is touching money, why don't you touch her.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and then the crying became louder and louder, Guo Qu handed the girl a two-yuan bill, she finally stopped crying, and then began to look at the money in her mother's hand, her mouth was deflated again, Guo Qu handed over a five-yuan bill, and it was okay again.
Deflated mouth, ten pieces.
Pouted again, twenty.
and pouted, fifty.
Still deflated, a hundred.
However, the girl still had to pout, Guo went to think about it, took out a total of five yuan of dime bills from the canvas bag, and looked at such a thick dime bill, the girl smiled happily.
Then she threw away the more than 100 yuan in her hand, took a stack of dime bills worth five yuan, sat on her own small stool, put her hands on the bench, and watched her mother count the money, touching the money in a similar way.
"One~" counted and put the money on the bench, she tilted her head and looked at her mother, and then came with another sentence of "one~"
So she came to "one" countless times, because she only knew how to count one.
……
The fire in the furnace was very strong, because it was burning coal, and this coal was not transported from other places, not to mention that the coal from outside in those days could not be transported from the mountains.
This is dug by the villagers in the middle of the mountainside, and then Guo went to each house in the village a few days ago to buy more than ten catties, and there are more than 500 catties of coal, and this winter will not feel cold.
The new house has not yet been repaired, and if the construction continues due to the cold wave, the house that has been frozen by the freezing rain will not be solid. And the weather is too cold, and it's the wax moon again, and the workers don't want to do it anymore.
However, the frame of the house has now been repaired, and it is only necessary to wait for the warmer weather next year to start building the roof panels.
The house was not repaired, but the wages of the workers could not wait until the house was repaired, and these workers were busy for months, waiting for the wages to go home for a good year.
There are five workers who are really hired to repair the house, each person is ten yuan per day, and two months is 3,000 yuan, plus the rental fee of the sand machine and the brick machine, and the diesel fee is five yuan per day, a total of 3,300 yuan.
These are just the wages of a worker, if you add the cost of materials, the total amount of zero is nearly 10,000 yuan!
As for Guo to his grandfather, he had already gone home a few days ago, and the wax moon had arrived, and the taste of the New Year began to appear, so basically no one in the wax moon was willing to leave home to work.
The wax moon has arrived, and it is time to kill the New Year's pig, from the beginning of the lunar month, until today, the scream of the fat pig has not been screamed for a day.
The wax moon is the wax moon of Guo to his uncle, because he is a butcher, so he eats fat pork every day, which is the happiest day of the year for him.
Some people will definitely say, isn't it greasy to eat fatty pork for a meal?
The answer is not greasy, because the people who were born in the farmhouse have already put the sour peppers in sealed jars, and by this time they have already fermented.
This kind of sour chili pepper can be effectively appetizing, even if you eat fatty pork at a time, you will not get tired, because this sour taste is not the kind of acid that can sour your teeth, but the acid that just makes people appetite greater.
A family has killed a New Year's pig, and the whole village basically has to have someone in place, except for those who have contradictions.
Eat for free, eat with an open mind, a few days after the wax moon, Guo Qu has already eaten twice.
Oh, by the way! There is no Laba Festival and small year festivals here, and only Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated here.
Anyway, all festivals in a year have to be related to ghosts, so that the two most important festivals of the year are the Chinese New Year and the Midyear Festival.
