Chapter 017: No shame in admitting defeat
Back home.
Mother has already prepared the meal.
On the dining table, braised pork and stewed pork ribs with taro exude a burst of fragrance, which makes people's appetite move. The melon seeds sat aside in a regular manner, holding the rice bowl in their hands, and their saliva had already flowed out.
But she waited for Liu Xing to serve the meal before she sat down at the table.
When Liu Dazhao saw this scene, he shook his head with amusement.
Liu Xing was a little distressed, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched several pieces of braised pork for her: "I let go of eating today, and there are still in the pot after eating, let my mother make it." ”
In the 80s, if you want to eat meat, except for the New Year, other days are just fools' dreams, and now he has the ability to change all this, so he naturally wants to eat more melon seeds.
"Mom said that those were reserved for the fourth brother and sister. The melon seeds picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, tilted his little head to watch Liu Xing chew, and after tasting the smooth and tender taste, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Because I ate so fast, I almost choked.
"Slow down, no one is robbing you. Liu Xing reached out and patted the back of the melon seed, and when he saw that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Five catties of pork belly, no matter how you stay, it is enough to eat two or three meals, and the melon seeds are still thinking about their brothers and sisters at this time, to be honest, this makes Liu Xing very pleased.
With such a sister, he really has nothing to say.
"Brother, you also just braised pork, it's so good. The melon seeds picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Liu Xing's bowl.
"Well, that's right. Liu Xing nodded and smiled.
Liu Dazhao and Zhou Qiuxiang also sat down at the dining table at this time, picked up chopsticks and ate.
However, they didn't move their chopsticks much for the braised pork, but ate the taro stewed pork ribs, thinking that the taste of the pork ribs would be much worse than the braised pork, but after tasting the unique taste, the two couldn't help but look at each other, as if they were in a dream.
After all, stewed pork ribs with taro is a dish......
They hadn't eaten it at all before.
I thought the taste was average, but now it seems that they are really frogs at the bottom of the well, and they were almost deceived by their names.
Seeing Liu Xing watching with a light smile on the side, he hurriedly sped up his meal.
When the family was almost eating, Zhou Qiuxiang suddenly said: "Son, where did you sell the river snails today! Tell your mother, when your father's feet are well, he will go to the river to touch the river snails and sell them there when he has time." ”
"There are a lot of people there, it seems to be called ...... It seems to be called ......" melon seeds wanted to answer first, but then they couldn't say it.
Liu Xing looked at it and smiled: "It's not far from the Donghe vegetable market, Mom, you shouldn't be familiar with it, but Dad often works outside with Foreman Li, so you should know where it is." ”
"Is it the one from the Donghe Police Station?" Liu Dazhao frowned.
"Hmm. Liu Xing nodded.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Qiuxiang looked at Liu Dazhao.
"It's very complicated there, I don't dare to go, don't you know, Foreman Li contracted a construction site there last year, and after this thing was done, the money was not received, and he was almost killed there. Liu Dazhao told the inside story.
"Isn't it?" Zhou Qiuxiang was frightened.
If this is really the case, Liu Xing did not encounter an accident selling conch there today, this is really auspicious!
"Dad, you brought the things of the year before last to this year, it's too outdated, right?" Liu Xing shook his head amusedly, wanting to explain a few more words, but in the end he was silent.
Because he can't say anything about the development trend of the Donghe vegetable market now, he is only afraid that he will be suspected of leaking the secret of rebirth, so it is better to keep his mouth shut now.
Seeing that sleepiness was coming, he got up and went back to his room to sleep after saying something to his parents.
......
When I woke up, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Liu Xing's first thought when he got up was to forget to herd cattle.
He ran out and was about to go to the cattle pen to have a look, but his mother, who was washing the snails at the door, called out to him: "Where are you going?
"I've lost track of time when I'm sleeping. Liu Xing replied with a smile.
"Your dad is gone, just rest at home. Mother Zhou Qiuxiang replied without raising her head.
"Dad's feet can herd cattle?" Liu Xing asked in surprise.
"Dr. Wang came and gave him two injections and some medicine, and now his feet don't hurt anymore. Zhou Qiuxiang reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Don't worry, your father won't go into the water when he herds cattle, he is measured." ”
"That's it!" Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, my father's foot injury is almost healed, and as for the disability, I am afraid that it will not happen again in this life.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xing was a little happy, he really hadn't been busy in vain in the past two days.
"Sit!" Zhou Qiuxiang handed Liu Xing a low stool.
"Mom, did you go down to the river to touch the river snail while I was sleeping?" Liu Xing asked casually after sitting down.
"Well, let your dad go to the city tomorrow, if the snails are easy to sell, touch them more, after all, you also know that you will soon plow the field and plant seedlings, and there are many places to use money!" Zhou Qiuxiang looked at Liu Xing: "The dozens of yuan you gave to your mother at noon, booked fertilizers and pesticides with the supply and marketing cooperative, and then bought some daily necessities, and now there is not much left, don't blame your parents for spending your money, this is also a helpless thing."
If you don't have these dozens of dollars, you can only rely on your face to take credit, but you usually do it as a last resort. ”
In the 80s, pesticides and fertilizers were in short supply, but they were popular goods.
This led to high prices, which did not come down until the nineties.
People who have experienced that era know that at that time there were special 'urine' tickets and 'dung' tickets, and the role of these tickets is fertilizer for farming.
Although it was no longer in the early 80s, the older generation of farmers would carry a dustpan outside to pick up manure and use it as fertilizer in their fields.
Especially the dog '', I won't let them go when I see them.
And the word 'picking up shit' actually comes from here.
If you really have to say it, you can be as sad as you are.
Liu Xing naturally knew the inside story, and he said: "Mom, look at what you said, isn't it natural for parents to spend their son's money?"
Speaking of this, he put aside the topic a little uncomfortable, stood up and looked at the sun in the west: "This little dad should be back soon, right?"
"Hmm. Zhou Qiuxiang nodded.
"Then how will he go to the city tomorrow to sell river snails?" asked Liu Xing.
The 28 bars in the house are broken, and if you don't repair it, if you ride a black calf, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it.
"He can only pick it up, how can you have the ability to ride a bull. Zhou Qiuxiang smiled.
"I didn't have to carry it, I fixed the bike and let him ride it. Liu Xing saw that he didn't have anything to do next, so he rolled up his sleeves and pushed the 28 bars out of the hall.
Zhou Qiuxiang looked at Liu Xing's movements and was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Son, don't be reckless, although there are basic tools for repairing bicycles at home, but changing tires is a technical job, have you forgotten that your father repaired tires at home the year before last, and the more holes were filled, the more holes were filled?"
"Yes. Liu Xing couldn't help but laugh.
My father was completely shocked that time, and he no longer dared to repair the tire by himself.
Because as soon as he had the act of mending the fetus, his mother laughed at him, and he was very embarrassed to laugh.
But he was a man with decades of experience in rebirth, how could he make such a mistake. Before he was reborn, he would not only repair bicycles, but also motorcycles, but he couldn't say it.
Seeing that it was not too early, he took out the rear tire of the car he bought from the room, unpacked it and was about to try if it was good, but on the country road, his father came back slowly with the black calf.
He saw Liu Xing sitting at the door and preparing to change the rear tire of the 28 bar, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Stinky boy, don't mess around! This is easy to remove, and if you can't install it at that time, it will be troublesome." ”
"No, it won't. Liu Xing replied without raising his head.
"Why are you becoming more and more disobedient now?" Liu Dazhao was anxious: "If you want to change the tire and push it to the old man Yang in the village to change it, why bother so much." ”
"Old man Yang's house is far away! And this point is not necessarily at home. Liu Xing replied.
"You kid. Liu Dazhao knew that a mouth couldn't persuade Liu Xing, so he glared angrily and went to Guan Niu.
Five or six minutes later, he ran back.
I wanted to stop Liu Xing's move to dismantle the bicycle as soon as possible.
But in the next second, he was stunned, and saw that on the barn in front of him, Liu Xing was riding a 28 bar in a circle, and the rear tire had been changed at this time, and there was no problem at all.
"This stinky boy has two brushes!" Liu Dazhao scratched his head in surprise, and greeted him after coming back to his senses.
Seeing this, Liu Xing got off the 28 bar, and handed the car faucet to his father: "Put it away, don't look for me next time the tire in the car bursts." ”
"Hey, you're pretty horizontal, why can't I look for you?" Liu Dazhao took the 28 bar, and there was anger in his eyes.
"Because you don't believe in my skills in repairing bicycles?" Liu Xing explained with a smile.
"What kind of technology can you have to fix a bike. Liu Dazhao was a little unimpressed.
"Then when you repaired the tires before, why did the holes in the tires become more and more?" Liu Xing asked teasingly, "Isn't this technology?"
"You !!" Liu Dazhao was speechless.
Zhou Qiuxiang, who was washing the river snail at the door, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene: "Dazhao, don't be ashamed to admit defeat in front of your son, don't die and don't admit it." ”
"I don't have any. Liu Dazhao replied embarrassedly, turned around and rode the bicycle away, seemingly ready to test the pressure of the rear tire.
But soon he also laughed, after all, what Liu Xing said before was the truth.
It's just that he can't figure out how Liu Xing is so powerful now, and he actually does something that he can't do.
Is this a talent?
