Time: One night in July 1980, Place: Xu Xuecheng's home, Event: Xujiawu Commune Harvest Team was honorably established!

That night, Xu Xuecheng, Xu Xuede, Xu Xueyou, the three brothers plus the tractor driver's cousin, plus the accountant Wang Da who was not present, the Xujiawu Commune Harvest Team was officially established, and Xu Xuecheng, as the captain, burned the first fire to his own small warehouse.

In Xujiawu, everyone has the habit of beating the cellar, and when the harvest season of crops in the field is reached, everyone will carry a large burden and a small burden, pour sweet potatoes, potatoes and ginger into the good cellar, cover it with a thin layer of soil, seal the door with a wooden board, and store the grain in it for the whole winter.

However, this year, the grain and grass have not yet entered the cellar, and the things in this cellar have been turned upside down by Xu Xuecheng.

"Come to the end of the year, there is still a dried winter mushroom in the corner over there, hurry up and pick it out," "Alas, Mom, can you go and see the winter mushroom name that your aunt's family brought you?" "Cousin, why don't you take your classmates with you to help put this pile into sacks, yes, fifty pounds a bag, it's easy to remember when the time comes, remember, you can have more, but you must not less, we are a long-term business, reputation is the most important!"

"Uncle Cousin? Well, Uncle Cousin, if you are free, just see if the tractor oil is full, and by the way, put the bagged winter mushrooms on it, yes, this time the first 500 catties, the guest house will have to be delivered before 9 o'clock tomorrow morning! ”

Xu Xuecheng has always thought that it is an exaggeration to say that he is busy with his feet on the ground, and today he finally knows what it feels like, no matter how big or small, he basically has to ask in person, his grandfather didn't come tonight, and he even has to do his own bookkeeping, Xu Xuecheng can't wait to give birth to four mouths and eight legs,

Since dinner, starting at 7 o'clock, Xu Xuecheng has not stopped, shouting in his throat until he is smoking, Liangbai Kai has poured several large tea jars down, lit the oil lamp, hurried slowly, and was busy until 11 o'clock, finally packed up the goods for the next day, took a cold shower, climbed onto his bamboo bed (popular in the south, it is very cool to sleep in summer), closed his eyes and sank into sleep.

The next day, before the old rooster at home crowed, Lao Mo ran to Xu Xuecheng's room, "Brother, brother, it's half past four!" Hurry up, you asked me to wake you up at half past four," Xu Xuecheng half-opened his sleepy eyes, and sleepiness hit him one after another.

"Ah~ Lao Mo, why did you get up so early, are they here?"

"It's all here, my cousin has rushed over from Qingshantou, and you're still sleeping! You said you were going to take me to the county today, and you can't go back! ”

Xu Xuecheng washed his face with cold water, and finally remembered that he was busy last night and his feet didn't touch the ground, and there was an old man buzzing next to him, and he didn't know what to say, Xu Xuecheng casually agreed, and now it seems that he is clamoring to go to the county seat with him.

The first two times Xu Xuecheng went secretly, and when she got up from the bed, Xu Xuecheng couldn't even see the figure for a long time, this time she finally let Xu Xuecheng relax, so she naturally got up early in the morning, and waited at the door early in the morning, even the washing water was ready, and the toothbrush and salt were put aside, "Ho!" ~ What a well-behaved old man! ”

Wang Meilan has already prepared breakfast, pickled pickles and late rice (the second or third wave of rice) cooked porridge, that is called a fragrant, compared to this, those pearl rice, Thai rice or something in later generations are weak, 5 people drank a big iron pot of porridge, each brought some water, ready to go on the road, each brought some water.

The three brothers shrank in a corner of the carriage in front of the old worker-7 walk-behind tractor except for the driver, and the three brothers took an old man and shrank in a corner of the carriage, leaning on the sack full of winter mushrooms, and he didn't care whether it was upside down or not, so he fell asleep groggily, but it was the first time that the old man went out of such a far place, and he was very energetic, and he chattered all the way, but in the second half of the way, no one paid attention to it, and he leaned on Xu Xuecheng's arms and squinted.

From Xujiawu to the county seat, more than 40 kilometers of road, the old worker-7 drove for two and a half hours, and finally stopped at the door of the farmers' market "poof".

"Get up and unload!" Xu Xuecheng was awake this time, hugged Lao Mo aside, and walked over to wake up the two sleeping brothers.

"Get up, hurry up and unload the goods, leave 100 pounds on the car, Xuede Xueyou with the end of the old man here to watch, there are 50 pounds of "Carving Seal Hotel", 50 pounds of "Bald Head Hotel", the remaining 300 pounds of zero sale, the price remains the same, you two can handle it, right? “

Xu Xuede was carrying a sack of 50 catties of winter mushrooms, and waved his hand: "Don't worry, we can handle it here, and when you come back, I'll sell it almost, and the swallows will help collect the money, what can be the problem?" ”

Xu Xuecheng said yes here, and ran over to pay the apportionment fee to the management aunt, said hello, and asked her to help watch the dots.

Don't underestimate the managers of this era, now whoever eats public meals, the one who has no way in his hand, and it is a place with a lot of oil and water like the farmers' market, he didn't look at Ye Zhaoxin, who was purchased by the county guest house, and he had to call his aunt respectfully when he saw his aunt!

The aunt was still very enthusiastic, patting her chest, "Don't worry, if there is anyone in this market who dares to bully my good niece, the old lady will let him get out immediately!" “

Well, this is also a fierce lord, no wonder it can hold this crowded farmer's market.

Uncle Cousin took a handlebar (Z-type starter, I don't know how to ask Baidu) and shook it a few times, and the tractor started! Xu Xuecheng climbed into the carriage, and he didn't wear his undershirt anymore, the key was that he was soaked in sweat and was sticky and uncomfortable! I took a few sips while holding the kettle.

"Uncle Cousin, do you know how to get to the guest house?"

"You know, it's been open for so many years, which road in the county I don't know?" Speaking of which, Uncle Cousin suddenly became proud, there are a total of nine main streets in the county, which foot of ground has not been pressed by his "old handlebar"!

When he arrived at the guest house, Xu Xuecheng found that in fact, the guest house was next to the county administrative building, and he didn't pay attention to it when he came with his grandfather last time! Think about it, if it is too far away, how can the guest house and the canteen in the building let the same family do the procurement!

There was a small iron door at the door of the guest house, which was empty and not locked, Xu Xuecheng jumped out of the car and pushed them open.

"Hey~hey~ What are you doing, that kid, what about you, why are you pushing the door?"

An old man wearing a military sky blue vest flashed out from the side, Xu Xuecheng took a closer look, and it turned out that behind the bamboo at the door, there was a small wooden house, which was probably the guard's room.

"What are you doing, why are you pushing the door?" The old man was a little impulsive, and glanced at Xu Xuecheng up and down, liberated his shoes, torn hemp pants, naked upper body, his hair was soaked with sweat, wet and sticky to his scalp, and he didn't look like a child in the city.

Xu Xuecheng hurriedly took out the remaining "red plum" from last time from his pocket, and took out one and ordered it for the porter.

"Uncle, we are from Xujiawu, we came to send Dongfu, the last time the guest house purchased and told me to let me send it today, isn't it the first time I came, I am not familiar with the road!"

Uncle took a beautiful puff and spit out a smoke ring, "Just you little brat?" The adults in the family are also relieved to let you deliver something? Is there a winter mushroom in the car in the back? ”

Xu Xuecheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, a hundred catties, it's all on it, isn't this an adult in the family going to work, I'm not free, I was asked to come from the commune, this is a letter of introduction!" ”

"Oh, okay, no problem, but you can't go from here with this tractor, this is the main entrance, you go around this fence back, the cafeteria is at the back door!" The uncle swallowed the clouds and spat out the fog, and his tone softened.

"Okay, thank you, then you're tired here, I'll go first!" Before leaving, Xu Xuecheng took out another one, put it on his ear for the uncle (everyone who smokes understands), made his cousin turn around, and walked around the wall.

Sure enough, turning the corner here, there was also a door, and there were several flatbed trucks parked inside, and Ye Zhaoxin's three wheels were also there, and he could see him unloading from afar.

Xu Xuecheng shouted, "Brother Zhaoxin! ”
