"Okay!" Liu Xing didn't want to say more, and left the kitchen after rubbing his face and saying, "I'll think of a way."

"What can he do about this guy. Zhou Qiuxiang shook her head.

Liu Dazhao also didn't believe it: "Don't worry about him, I have already told my third brother to let him learn carpentry, and when the opportunity comes, I will send him to the infrastructure team to exercise, and it is really not a matter to stay at home to herd cattle and pigweed." ”

"Yes, I'm sixteen years old, and although I have done a lot of things at home, I can't even fill my stomach, so I can't go on like this. Zhou Qiuxiang looked up at Liu Dazhao: "It's just that what you, the third brother, said can you count! In October last year, we told him about Liu Xing's carpentry learning, why hasn't there been any news until now?"

"Alas, it's hard for him! Wait and see, don't push him. Liu Dazhao replied with a light sigh.

"Also, it's hard to do anything these days. Zhou Qiuxiang nodded in agreement.

Liu Xing, who hadn't gone far outside, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head when he heard this.

At the age of sixteen before his rebirth, he studied carpentry with his third uncle for nearly three years, not to mention the tiredness of his work, and he didn't make much money.

Now that he has been reborn and has a choice, it is natural that he will not learn carpenter again.

After all, all the experience of a carpenter is in his head.

If he repeats the mistakes of the past, then he really doesn't deserve to be born again.

And what he has to do now is to make sure that his father's feet do not become disabled.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing walked into the back room, lay on the bed and thought about it.

It is impossible to sell the contents of the house for money.

After all, it was hard-earned by the parents, and even if it was a chair, it was hard-earned money.

But if he doesn't sell things without changing, with what he remembers, it will be impossible to get money in a short period of time, and the reason why he says this is because it is now 82 years, which is an era that has not been long after reform and opening up.

If it is chaotic, it will definitely be him who suffers.

"Why don't you dig for loaches, eel?"

"Or try your luck in the city?"

After turning over and over, Liu Xing thought of N methods, but combined with the actual situation at the moment, they were all vetoed one by one.

After all, digging loaches and eels is not suitable for April at all, and even fishing for eels is impossible.

Because a lot of farmland has been plowed over, it is very difficult to catch loaches and eels with both hands.

The yellow eels and loaches in the canal will not be allowed to move because they are related to waterway irrigation.

If they find out, they will be arrested and taken to the police station.

This is not alarmist, but factual.

Because in the 80s, the water canals in the countryside were related to the stomachs of the villagers, and if there was an accident, it would starve people to death.

In fact, even if the canals are not affected, sometimes people will starve to death.

It's just that a lot of people don't know.

Liu Xing is a person who came out of that era, so he is naturally very clear.

In other words, it is simply not feasible to make money using the loach yellow eel.

Just when he had a headache and didn't know what to do, his mother walked into the room where he was with a basket: "Son, the day after tomorrow is the day of the market, you will take the eggs you have saved in the past few days to the market to sell, if possible, please ask Dr. Wang to come to the house to show your father the leg injury, I look a little wrong, I really don't worry about this without injections and medicine." ”

"How many eggs are there?" Liu Xing asked casually.

"Forty-five. Mother replied.

"Then if I sell it, what should I do if the second sister comes back on the weekend and asks for living expenses?" Liu Xing said the worry in his heart.

This living expenses can't be broken, and the second sister can't go to school.

She is the hope of the whole family, even if she is poor and miserable, she must provide for it.

"I'll go to your uncle's house to borrow some more, it's better to do it than to do it!" the mother reluctantly squeezed out a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Xing knew that this was the best way for now, so he had to nod his head and agree.

But how much forty-five eggs can be sold for, he knows very well in his heart.

I'm afraid that it won't be enough for my father's medical expenses at all, because the price of eggs in 82 years, if I remember correctly, was only three cents to five cents a piece, and this was still under the condition that it could be sold.

If you can't sell it, you won't even be able to exchange any 'tickets' in the countryside.

After all, most of the women who ran the family in the 80s saved money by selling eggs or bartering for things.

"Then go to bed early, and you're going to herd the cattle tomorrow morning!" said this, and when the mother had said this, she turned and left.

Liu Xingmu sent his mother away, and he didn't know why his heart was very uncomfortable.

This is all a fault caused by no money, otherwise how would you suffer like this.

Seeing that the melon seeds playing at the door ran in, and got into the quilt in a slippery way, I had to lie down again, close my eyes and not think about these bad things.

And the reason why melon seeds sleep with him is because there are only four beds in the house.

One for parents, one for the second sister Liu Ziran, and one for the fourth brother Liu Hang.

There is also one from the eldest sister Liu Dongju, who was given to him after getting married.

As for the melon seeds, there is no bed for her to sleep in.

Not abusing her.

It's that the family doesn't have the money to buy it, and they can't afford it.

Even if you buy it, there is no place to put it, after all, the adobe house is only that big.

Of course, melon seeds can sleep with anyone in the house.

But Liu Ye has a high personality, and he likes to call melon seeds when he has nothing to do.

So the melon seeds subconsciously hate Liu Ye very much, and it is impossible to sleep together.

As for the parents, the double bed is only that big, and that is even more unlikely.

So in the end, melon seeds could only squeeze into the same bed with Liu Xing.

However, melon seeds and Liu Xing have been able to play since childhood.

If there is anything delicious, even some little secrets will be told to Liu Xing.

This sleeping together naturally is not a problem.

After a while, the melon seeds fell asleep, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling, and he didn't have to think about the delicious taste of wild strawberries and boiled fish in his dreams.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled, he was infected by the cute appearance of melon seeds, and he quickly entered his dream.

......

April 13th.

As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Xing got up.

I didn't want to make a noise about the melon seeds, but this girl also got up as soon as she heard the movement, and followed Liu Xing, and walked into the kitchen like a fart to wash up.

In the kitchen, the sweet potato porridge is ready.

But there was no trace of the mother.

Obviously, he has already left and gone to his uncle's house to borrow money.

As for the reason why he left so early, it was because his uncle's house was more than a hundred miles away from saltpeter village, and if he didn't leave early, he wouldn't have thought about coming back at night.

This is not to save money and not take the bus, but in the saltpeter village in the eighties, there was no road to traffic at all, even if the road was open, there were no buses willing to come. After all, in the early 80s, many roads in the city were not yet open to buses, and if you want to get a bus in a poor and remote place in saltpeter village, you have to go at least 30 years later.

Straight to the point.

There are also Liu Ye walking in the house.

He left so early to study.

Because of Zhangmu Middle School in 82, the poor did not have a dormitory for him to live in.

On the stove, there are still sweet potato skins left over from Liu Ye's eating.

Liu Xing glanced at it and shook his head, seeing that his father hadn't gotten up yet, he picked up the broom and cleaned up.

"Brother, will you go to the river to pick wild strawberries later?" said to Liu Xing, who had eaten a bite of sweet potato melon seeds and raised his little head.

She was afraid that Liu Xing would not agree, so she specially stretched out her little hand and hugged Liu Xing's right leg.

Clearly, the delicious taste of wild strawberries has taken root in her heart.

"Okay, but you'll have to get a bag of hogweed back. Liu Xing touched the little head of the melon seeds.

"Uh-huh, see you by the river. Hearing Liu Xing's promise, the melon seeds ran out of the kitchen with the uneaten sweet potatoes, and after a while, she disappeared from Liu Xing's sight with the woven bag.

"You run slowly. Liu Xing looked at it and shook his head, put down the broom in his hand, and also ate sweet potatoes, seeing that he was a little choked, he hurriedly scooped a bowl of porridge and ate it.

"It tastes good. Liu Xing couldn't help but smack his lips.

Decades later, authentic sweet potato porridge is hard to find.

However, because he was reborn, he ate again, and he really felt a full sense of happiness.

When he was about to finish eating, his father Liu Dazhao limped into the kitchen, his face was much paler than last night: "Did your mother go to your uncle's house?"

"Hmm. Liu Xing nodded.

"I was really careless last night, this right leg hurts badly now, Liu Xing, you take Gu wine and help me wipe it. Liu Dazhao sat on the chair, the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was in pain.

"It's so swollen, can it not hurt?" Liu Xing lifted his father's trouser leg: "Otherwise, I'll take you to Dr. Wang's house by bicycle?"

"The bicycle tire burst and I can't go. Liu Dazhao replied helplessly: "Besides, there is not a penny in the house, and I can't lower my head to give credit to my old classmate." ”

Liu Xing knew his father's stubborn temper, so he had to fill a bowl with some grain wine and clean his father's wounds.

Seeing that the wound was not infected and suppurated, Liu Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

This symptom was absent before rebirth.

He remembered that his father's right leg was slightly infected and suppurated the next day.

It wasn't until the fourth day that he was delivered to Dr. Wang's home, but it was too late.

But now that the wire has been taken out, the situation has changed, as long as it is properly disinfected, I am afraid that there should be no major event in a short time.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing hurriedly and carefully cleaned his father's wounds.

Even if his father had a painful cracked tooth, he pretended not to see it.

When he was finished, he took a bowl of sweet potato porridge and handed it to his father: "Eat, I'm going to graze the cattle, and by the way, go to the river to see if there is anything to exchange for money at the market." ”

After seven or eight years of reform and opening up, the national economy recovered rapidly, so in the early eighties, as long as the people had goods in their hands, they could still sell them for money, of course, more of them were exchanged for tickets, such as food stamps, cloth stamps, oil stamps, sugar stamps, and so on......

"Go ahead and stay safe. Liu Dazhao was stunned and understood Liu Xing's thoughts, but he didn't have much hope, because in his opinion, Liu Xing's actions were just petty fights, and he couldn't get on the stage at all. After a soft sigh, he lowered his head and drank the porridge. As for sweet potatoes, he didn't even look at them, because he was really tired of eating them, and if he hadn't had no choice, he wouldn't want to eat sweet potatoes in his life.

Liu Xing turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and after checking the tires of the 28 bars parked in the main house, he walked to the bullpen, released the black calf, and then walked leisurely towards the river.

The tires of the 28 bars are really bursting, and the inner tubes have been worn out.

If you want to fix it, you can't do it without a few dollars.

And his family is now stretched.

If you want to get the money to come out and repair the 28 bars.

I'm afraid it's impossible.

And that's not the most important thing.

Important:

There are no bikes.

Then he sells eggs and other items.

Then you have to walk to the bazaar dozens of miles away.

Although this is nothing for him, he is afraid that the best time to catch the market will be missed.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing had a little headache, but after glancing at the black calf grazing leisurely on the side, he couldn't help laughing.

As my mother said, there are always more ways than difficulties!
