Chapter Eighty-Six: The Old Man Loses His Horse
The fat man was startled, and quickly turned his head to look, only to see an old lady with a serious face standing behind him, with a red hoop on her arm.
Touching the back of his head, the fat man picked up the cigarette butt from the ground, and was so excited just now that he forgot about the stubble. took out a dime from her pocket and handed it over, and the old lady looked a little gentle: "Look at your good attitude, you will be fined five points." After speaking, he meticulously tore up the ticket for the fat man and looked for money, and then, his blazing eyes were fixed on a man who was coughing loudly across the road.
The fat man stuck out his tongue, walked around, and then found a few large vegetable markets to investigate, in addition to the state-run ones, the fat man also found some self-employed people selling vegetables, but they were all like thieves, hiding in the corner, looking at the weakness, even they themselves were not confident.
This era is an era in which state-owned units cover the sky with one hand, and the individual economy is very despised.
"I wonder if I'm a solo self-employed person?" the fat man asked self-deprecatingly.
After selling the eggs and antlers, the fat man found a big store to go shopping, and when Kiki came, he assigned him tasks, all of which were indispensable: chalk, blackboard eraser, compass, triangular ruler or something, and the most perverted thing was to have a big blackboard.
Good fellow, if the fat man didn't have a wooden box, he really didn't know how to get this behemoth back. But after all, Qiqi is thinking about the school, and this enthusiasm cannot be dispelled, not to mention the reason for the big braids, how can the fat man show his support for the cause of education.
After finishing the incident, I went to the bookstore again, and except for the books on fruit tree planting that the fat man wanted to buy, the rest were children's books. Fortunately, books at this time are cheap, a few cents, at most a dime or two a copy, and they are still within the affordability of fat people.
After a full week, the fat man finally returned to Gushantun. Looking at the familiar Daqing Mountain from afar, it was already slightly revealing a piece of greenery, and the fat man's mood immediately became extremely refreshing.
He didn't plan to reveal the matter of contracting the mountain to the villagers, and now everyone still doesn't realize what kind of wealth Daqingshan can create for them, and the fat man is ready to speak with practical actions, and the facts are the most convincing, especially the farmers, who believe in the facts the most.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the fat man sorted out his things, which were similar to Xiaoshan. Turn the blackboard over and place things on it, then put the big blackboard on your back. Good guys, the whole road is flattened by fat people.
"It turned out to be a fat uncle, put it down, we'll help you get it." The second fat man led a group of half-sized children just after school, and when they saw a monster coming to them, they all gathered around, squatted on the ground and formed a circle, tilted their heads to look, and finally recognized the fat man from the burly body under the blackboard.
Divide the things, the fat man is holding the blackboard, followed by a group of fart half-sized children, and when he comes home, Qiqi has already finished school, and the big pigtails are also off work, and he is cooking, seeing the figure of the fat man, Qiqi immediately hangs on his neck: "Uncle Fat, Qiqi misses you." ”
Just as the fat man's heart was warm, he heard Qiqi say again: "I dreamed of what you bought for me." ”
"Are you the one who wants the fat uncle, or do you want the fat uncle to buy?" the fat man had a bitter gourd face.
"Hee-hee, I want to. Little Qiqi fell from the fat man's arms to the ground, and instructed the two fat men to put everything together.
The fat man wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then took out a piece of clothing and handed it to the big braid, which was a white cool shirt with a ju flower embroidered on the chest, elegant and generous, looking at the expression on the braid's face was similar to Qiqi, the fat man knew that his vision was not bad.
When it was time to eat, the fat man went to the deer farm, where the old revolutionary was shouting at the top of his voice: "Coo-coo-" and then put the whistle hanging around his neck into his mouth and blew it.
After a while, the chicken tide was surging on the hillside in the distance, under the leadership of the King of Five Flowers, nearly a thousand chickens all rushed back at a trot, one by one, full of energy, the scene was quite spectacular.
The old revolutionary opened the fence gate, waved his arm, purred, and the chicks entered the fence. The afterglow of the setting sun poured on the straight waist of the old revolutionary, and the shadow stretched long, looking a little majestic. The fat man patted his head vigorously: "Chicken King!"
"You are really powerful, you are simply a general who commands thousands of troops. The fat man raised his big finger.
"Don't fool, thousands of troops and horses can't command, and it's okay to command a thousand heads and eight hundred chickens. When the old revolutionary saw the fat man, he was also very happy: "Boy, let me tell you good news, the fragrant roe deer is matched, when will we dig out the musk?"
"As soon as I come back, there will be happy events!" The fat man was also very happy: "This time I went to the city, and I also bought a lot of wound medicine, gauze, needles and tubes, it seems that there is no preparation in vain, by the way, there are anesthetics, this thing is not easy to get, I sold myself to the zoo for this." ”
"The second pillar has not come back from the deer?" The fat man saw that the deer pen was empty, and there was no sign of the three fragrant deer, so he couldn't help asking.
"Should you come back at this time?" the old revolutionary looked up the hill to the north, and finally saw the deer herd beginning to emerge, running slowly one by one, and their graceful bodies were like a painting in the setting sun.
The second pillar was running all the way, and shouted from afar: "The fragrant roe deer is lost!"
When the fat man heard this, his head buzzed suddenly, and the girl greeted him: "Pillar, what's the matter?"
"The male—the one named Xiangxiang—ran away—and disappeared—" Erzhu gathered his feet, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and he reported to the fat man breathlessly.
"I—I want to chase it, but I can't let go of the deer—hey, I'm running into the forest right under my nose!" Erzhuzi patted his thigh vigorously, looking guilty.
The fat man also understood, he didn't blame Erzhuzi for this, he didn't expect Xiangxiang to usually look docile and lovely, but he was a deserter, and he ran away, and he couldn't find it if he ran away.
The joy was also taken away by Xiangxiang, and after a few words of comfort to Erzhuzi, the fat man followed the old revolutionary home, and ate a relief pill while walking: "Fortunately, Xiao Xiangxiang has a cub." ”
The old revolutionary looked pensive, without the gains and losses of the fat man, and clicked the small cigarette pouch while walking, looking unfathomable.
When I got home, the meal was already on the table. The fat man drooped his head, and he rarely had no appetite. The big braid quickly noticed the abnormality and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The fat man glanced at Qiqi, leaned into the ear of the big pigtail and said, "Xiangxiang ran away." ”
Unexpectedly, Qiqi's little ears were as sharp as the fat man: "Xiangxiang, how can I lose my Xiangxiang, doesn't Princess Xiangxiang have no father, so pitiful-"
As he spoke, tears fell down in pairs, and the fat man felt a pain in his heart: Qiqi said this, probably thinking of herself, an eight or nine-year-old child, how strong she was when she came to this strange place.
The big braid hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, Qiqi cried and cried, and suddenly stopped crying, stared at a pair of big eyes, and said angrily: "It's all because Uncle Sun and Grandpa Sun are not good, they are babbling all day long to take out the musk in Xiangxiang's stomach, can Xiangxiang not be afraid, of course she has to run away - hum, I won't pay attention to you anymore, Sister Xiaoyu, let's go find Xiangxiang now." ”
After saying that, he pulled his big pigtails and walked out. It's dark outside, and of course the big pigtails can't mess around with her: "Qiqi is good, maybe Xiangxiang will come back tomorrow." ”
"Really, Sister Xiaoyu, you won't lie to me, the teacher can't lie. ”
Looking at Qiqi's expectant gaze, the big braid was speechless for a while.
"Uh-huh-" The old revolutionary's loud cough sounded, obviously he had something to say, and seeing that even Qiqi's gaze was projected, the old revolutionary said unhurriedly: "Have you heard the story of an old man who lost his horse?"
"Seong lost his horse, haha, yes, I didn't expect that he lost his horse, and my fat man lost musk deer, the same. "The old revolutionaries told the fat man to jump from the edge of the kang to the ground, dancing with his hands, like crazy.
"Calm down, be calm. The old revolutionary pressed his hands downward: "I mean there is such a possibility, it is the season for the fragrant roe deer, this guy may run back to the mountains to hunt wild food, as for whether he can come back, it is difficult to say." ”
Qiqi rolled his two big eyes: "Xiangxiang will definitely come back." The tone was extremely firm.
"Eat!" the fat man yelled, his appetite renewed. The big pigtail gave him a blank look, and he picked up the vegetable bowl and walked to the outhouse.
"Don't call it dinner, this punishment is too heavy, right?" As soon as the fat man picked up his chopsticks, the vegetable bowl disappeared.
"Silly, I'm going to warm it up. ”
The fat man scratched the back of his head: "Hehe, I've been tossing for a long time, and the food is cold, Xiaoyu is still careful, Qiqi, learn more from your sister Xiaoyu." ”
