Chapter 12: The Old Couple
After Qin Yongmei came back from the bottom of the flagpole, she spent the night checking the selection materials.
Bai Ke looked at it on the kang and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that my cotton monkey is gone." ”
It turned out that after the cotton monkey that had been made was given to County Magistrate Liu, the old lady made another one.
But only half done, and began to get busy with his own case.
The old lady is working so hard, how dare Bai Ke urge her.
Anyway, the eldest brother still has an old cotton suit, which can be worn improvised.
It's just that because it's worn in the south, it's a lot thinner.
*********************
After the sauerkraut was stained, the weather became colder and colder.
Shazhou, a small county town, is considered to be a relatively warm city in the northeast.
In the previous life, Bai Ke rarely wore sweaters in winter when he became an adult, let alone cotton clothes and pants.
But now, it seems that this era is indeed colder than twenty or thirty years from now.
Listening to the weather forecast, how can it be five or six degrees lower than the same period twenty or thirty years later.
Moreover, children are really not frost-resistant.
Wearing cotton clothes and pants, it is a few steps from home to school.
Bai Ke was still shivering from the cold.
Teacher Xu saw that Bai Ke was not resistant to freezing, so he specially adjusted the seats for him and Zhuoma, and let the two of them sit by the stove.
The classroom was ventilated on all sides, and although the stove was burning, it was not much warmer, and it barely froze.
I can't even stretch my fingers out when I write.
The white guest is worried.
As soon as she woke up one morning, the old lady threw the cotton monkey in front of her.
Look at the old lady's appearance again, she looks like a panda, her eye sockets are abrupt, and she keeps yawning.
At first glance, it was a battle overnight.
"Mom, the bed is still hot, you hurry up and sleep for a while. ”
"Try it first, and then Mom will change it for you. ”
"Suitable, suitable, must be suitable. Bai Ke casually gestured and said perfunctorily.
With the cotton monkey sewn by his mother, Bai Ke suddenly felt much warmer.
But just like in the previous life, it was only a few days after winter.
The white customer made a big mess again, and almost turned into a diaper bag again.
Although Bai Ke has the soul of an adult, his small body is still so weak like in the previous life.
The urine bubbles are small, and the kidney qi is insufficient, so I can't hold my urine.
At the end of class, the first thing Bai Ke does is to run the toilet.
Sometimes he is in a hurry, and he starts to untie his belt before he gets to the toilet.
The cotton pants sewn by the old lady are laced, and they are opened as soon as they are pulled.
But this day, I don't know how to do it, and it becomes a dead button when I pull my hand.
Bai Ke's little hand was scratched by the cold, and he couldn't stretch it out at all, how could he open the dead button.
He began to stomp and writhe his feet on the spot again, just as he had done on the day he had returned from rebirth.
As a result, the scene from the previous life was played out again.
Dolma ran over, picked at it with his fingernails, and helped the white customer untie the dead button.
In the last life, in the eyes of Bai Ke, Zhuoma was the only really kind girl.
In the previous life, Bai Ke didn't even think that his mother was a good woman.
He is a little rough with his children, and he is quite unreasonable to his husband.
It wasn't until after her mother's death that Bai Ke gradually understood her and the strange creature of women.
After returning to the classroom, Dolma also took off the fingerless gloves on his right hand and handed them to Bai Ke.
Bai Ke was just about to shirk, but Zhuoma raised his left hand: "It just so happens that I am left-handed and you are right-handed." ”
Bai Ke smiled and had to put on gloves.
The two of them, with one left hand and one right hand, are next to each other to do their homework, which looks quite a good match.
Zhuoma couldn't help but write a poem: old pairs, old pairs, pairs of children.
The two laughed.
In the previous life, Bai Ke and Zhuoma only had a one-year relationship.
After the second grade of primary school, Bai Ke transferred to Hongqi Primary School.
Since then, I have never seen Dolma again, nor have I heard from Dolma.
Later, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, Bai Ke wanted to see Dolma again, so he revisited.
But when he got to Dolma's house, he suddenly became shy again, and then ran away.
After a few more years, the area of Zhuoma's house was demolished.
Bai Ke could no longer find her.
I don't know how Dolma was doing in the previous life.
Is it happiness or poverty?
But in this life, Bai Ke made up his mind not to lose contact with Dolma no matter what.
No matter what, let Dolma live happily and happily.
*********************
The scale of the pig farm of the Zhongchang Brigade is very large, and it is not inferior to the national nutrition pig farm.
And because the means of operation are more flexible, the economic benefits are better than those of state farms.
The wine lees that Bai Ke helped Huang Changchang contact was far from enough for them.
So, not long after, Baike helped the pig farm to connect with the grain depot.
Bai Ke often helps the depot director's son, the Blue Army, with his homework.
He often gets bread and candy and other snacks from Liang Shunzhao, the son of the director of the dispatch room of the railway station, and shares them with the Blues.
Therefore, the Blues' dad is also very fond of white customers.
When the white customer offered to get some spoiled grain from the grain depot, the Blues' father agreed.
For him, this is a trivial matter.
Baike helped the pig farm solve most of the feed problems.
How could Huang Changchang treat him badly.
The rice, white flour, and soybean oil of the whole family of Baike have been supplied for a long time.
Even the firewood and coal were sent from time to time.
Seeing the end of the year, another big fat pig is about to be slaughtered.
Huang Changchang once again proposed to send two big fat pigs to Baike.
In fact, white customers want money.
But an eight- or nine-year-old child makes money from adults, which is really wicked.
However, it doesn't matter, isn't the big fat pig just money?
Director Huang said that he would send two big fat pigs, which was really not ambiguous at all.
The slaughtered big fat pig, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, almost nothing is pulled.
The pigs of this period are different from later generations, and they are all skinned.
Because at this time the pigskin is very good leather.
Bai Ke had already contacted his father's classmate in the tannery in advance, and asked Bai Zong to send two pig skins to the tannery for more than ten yuan.
The rest of the pork, the white guest took home some.
In particular, the two pairs of pork kidneys were taken back.
Because the northerners at this time did not eat pork kidneys at all, they would not deal with the fishy smell of pork kidneys.
As a southerner, Bai Ce can, he can use the pig's kidney to make up for Bai Ke's body.
For the rest of the pork, the white customer also found the next home.
He contacted Zhuoma's father in advance, the fat uncle of the non-staple food group of the democratic store.
At the end of the year, their non-staple food group will make a lot of cooked pork, and two pigs are not enough.
Bai Zong carried pork on a tricycle and came to the back door of the democracy store with Bai Ke.
An aunt looked at Bai Zong, and then looked at pork.
"Who are you looking for?"
Bai Ke flashed out from behind Bai Zong: "The one we are looking for in the non-staple food group...... Uncle Yang. ”
"Uncle Yang?" Auntie was a little confused.
Bai Ke only knew that Yang Zhuoma's father's nickname was Uncle Fat, but he didn't know his real name.
"It's the uncle who is a little fat. ”
"Oh, are you talking about Team Leader Liu of the non-staple food group?"
Bai Ke was stunned for a moment: "It should be him." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll call him out. ”
After a while, the fat uncle came out with two great boys.
Bai Ke hurriedly greeted: "Hello uncle!"
The fat uncle also came over with a smile and hugged the white guest.
Bai Ke hurriedly introduced: "This is my brother." ”
The fat uncle nodded and shook hands with Bai Zong: "You're quite tall." ”
Bai Ke stood by and watched as Bai Zong and a few of them carried four pork fans and two sets of water into the water with their hands and feet.
After waiting for a while, Bai Zong came out.
The little face was flushed, and his expression was also a little trance.
"Let's go. White Ke pulled him.
As he walked, Bai Ke asked, "How many?"
"Ten, sixteen. ”
Bai Zongdu was a little incoherent.
Sixteen pieces of unity, enough for parents to earn in two months.
In this life, it was the first time that Bai Ke had seen so much money.
But he knew in his heart that it was just the beginning.
However, he still had a huge doubt in his heart.
Why isn't Yang Zhuoma's father surnamed Yang?
