Chapter 050: Go to the Old House Village
After Liu Xingmu sent Wang Aixiang away, he walked into the kitchen with a basket of eggs for breakfast.
Liu Dongju, who was washing the dishes, smiled teasingly when she saw this scene: "Brother, this Wang Aixiang seems to be interesting to you! Why don't you keep her for breakfast?"
"What do you think! She came to thank me, if I hadn't said a few good words to Director Wu before, she would have died, not Wang Mazi. Liu Xing was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he even told the inside story immediately.
This insider shocked Liu Dongju: "Isn't it......? So now Wang Aixiang is fine?"
She and his mother left Saltpeter Village to work, so naturally they were fine. Liu Xing sighed lightly: "But I'm afraid it's not easy to work outside." β
He knew this very well, so he didn't want to say more.
Especially in the early eighties, there were no good companies to offer jobs.
Liu Dongju said: "Then leave her alone, I thought she liked you......! Have breakfast, and then go to my house when you are ready. β
"Okay!" Liu Xing picked up a bowl of sweet potato porridge and sat at the door of the kitchen to eat.
At this time, the melon seeds also ran out of the hall wearing slippers, followed by the laughing little dot.
Seeing Liu Xing eating sweet potato porridge, he hurriedly ran into the kitchen one by one.
After a while, the two of them sat at the door of the kitchen and ate sweet potato porridge.
Liu Dongju smiled when she saw this scene: "Liu Xing, if you go to my house today, what will happen to the river snails and river crabs that you touched yesterday! If you don't sell them, I'm afraid they will break." β
"Sell what you want, take it to your house to eat! Liu Xingsan ate the sweet potato porridge in two bites, and then smacked his lips and replied.
"So many river snails and crabs, as well as lotus roots, can my family eat them in three mouthfuls?" Liu Dongju even denied Liu Xing's opinion.
The lotus root is not afraid of spoilage, because it is wrapped in mud, and it is no problem to keep it at home for ten days and half a month.
But river snails and river crabs, if there is no living water to feed, it will stink in a day or two, which is something that everyone knows, so it cannot be taken lightly.
"Then take some back, and keep the rest at home, and sell them when you have time." Liu Xing handed the bowl to the melon seeds on the side and expressed his opinion.
"That's all there is to it. Liu Dongju replied.
"That's fine. Liu Xing said and went to fetch the cow.
This time I went to the eldest sister's house, in addition to separating the family to support the faΓ§ade, there was another very important thing to do.
That is to let the black calf help the eldest sister's family plow the fields, after all, the current eldest sister's house is surrounded by four walls and has nothing.
Of course, there is also an advantage of taking the black calf with you, that is, you can carry the things you bought, which can save the parents a lot of things.
Otherwise, if you really have to rely on your feet to carry things to the old housing estate, it will be enough to choke.
When they came to the gate with the black calf, their parents were already preparing baskets to pick things.
Liu Xing looked at it and shook his head, and hurriedly put the bamboo basket under the eaves on the black calf's back and tied it up: "Dad, Mom! The heavier things can be carried by the black calf, we can save some effort and save some energy, and then we will have to plow the field! That is manual work." β
"Yes. Liu Dazhao smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly put the iron pot, vegetable oil and other items into the bamboo basket.
Liu Xing went to the kitchen, took out the river crab and river snail, poured half of it and put it in another bamboo basket.
After a few moments, everything to prepare was almost ready.
Liu Dazhao looked at the time: "Dongkui! You should have a wooden plow! Don't let me help you plow the field when the time comes, you don't even have a wooden plow!"
In the early eighties, most of the tools used to plough the fields were wooden plows made of wood, and iron plows were very rare. Of course, the plough of the wooden plough is also made of iron, and this should not be confused with the iron plough, because the wooden plough is not at all comparable to the iron plough.
Zhao Dongkui, who was about to pick up the basket, heard this, and his face instantly turned red: "I really don't have a wooden plow at home, and my parents didn't give me any tools for plowing the fields." β
"Isn't it?" Liu Dazhao felt a little toothache when he heard this.
This people live on food, and it is understandable that they do not have ploughing oxen, after all, they are very valuable things.
If there is no wooden plough, then what kind of plough will be used to eat!
This in-laws, to be honest, are really excessive.
Liu Dongju was also very angry at this time, she glared at Zhao Dongkui: "These are your good parents, you almost didn't take off your clothes this time." β
"You don't have to say a word. Zhou Qiuxiang frowned: "If we don't have a wooden plow, we have it, just bring it." β
"Not bad. Liu Xing ran into the adobe house, and a moment later he carried out a wooden plow.
Liu Dazhao stretched out his hand and took it: "You go and lead the black calf! I will use a bicycle to bring this wooden plough over." β
"Okay!" Liu Xing picked up the melon seeds playing on the side and sat on the back of the black calf with Xiao Budian, and then led him towards the old housing village.
Zhao Dongkui followed behind with a basket.
After Zhou Qiuxiang locked the door, he walked with Liu Dongju.
Moments later, the family disappeared from the village road.
......
Laowu Village is one of the most economically prosperous villages in Zhangmu Township.
I don't know how many times better than saltpeter village.
The reason for this is that the market in Zhangmu Township is located in the old housing village.
Of course. The location of the old housing village is also excellent.
It is incomparable to several surrounding villages such as saltpeter village.
At the beginning, the Zhao family asked the matchmaker to be a matchmaker for Liu Dongju.
Liu Dazhao just saw that the conditions in Zhao Dongkui's house were good.
That's why I agreed to the marriage between Liu Dongju and Zhao Dongkui's family.
Who would have expected that the Zhao family's patriarchal thinking is very serious, and they are also very doting on the cub 'Zhao Wuliang'.
This made Liu Dongju very angry after getting married.
At first, they also heard some bad news.
I also went to Zhao's house a few times.
But then I didn't bother anymore.
After all, after starting a family, who hasn't bumped into it.
But I really didn't expect that this Zhao family would be ruthless to this point.
This Liu Dongju is an outsider who married in the past, so he can be mean.
But Zhao Dongkui is their own son, and this family doesn't even have pots and pans, if it is passed out, it will not be the face of the Liu family, but the face of the Zhao family.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Dazhao's face became gloomy.
If he didn't hope that Liu Dongju and Zhao Dongkui would continue to get better, he really wanted to directly hack the shameless in-laws of the Zhao family to death with a kitchen knife.
In the distance, the mountains are undulating, and egrets sometimes fly from the forest.
The old housing village is located at the foot of the mountain to the east.
The mountain roads are rugged and not easy to walk by bike.
Several times, Liu Dazhao was forced to get off the bicycle and push forward.
Liu Xing didn't have anything to do, he sat on the back of the black calf, holding the melon seeds and Xiaobudian, enjoying the beautiful scenery around him all the way, so comfortable.
Gradually, the black calf under him surpassed Liu Dazhao and came to the country road.
And at the end of the country road is the market.
Liu Dongju's and Zhao Dongkui's home is just north of the market.
From afar, you can see the rooftop.
On the country road, pedestrians come and go.
Seeing the appearance of Liu Xing's family, they all looked sideways.
Some of the good deeds also stopped, and whispered in private.
Liu Dazhao didn't care about these gossips, but rode a bicycle to take the first step.
The black calf couldn't catch up, so he could only walk with Zhao Dongkui, who was carrying the burden.
Liu Xing spoke at this time: "Brother-in-law, when you go to your house, go and invite the village chief and team leader of your old house village to have a light meal! As for tobacco and alcohol, I will go to the market to help buy them later." β
If I am not mistaken, the village chief of Laowu Village should also be surnamed Zhao, and he is a relative of his brother-in-law's family.
The meaning of asking his brother-in-law to invite him was obviously to publicize the matter of the separation.
Let's see what the attitude of the village chief is, if he doesn't care, then he will be better off.
However, Zhao Dongkui didn't understand what Liu Xing meant, and he was a little reluctant: "What are you spending that money for?
"If you are told to go, why are you so long-winded?" Liu Dongju said when he heard this.
"Okay then!" Zhao Dongkui, who had no choice, had to agree.
Zhou Qiuxiang looked at this scene and shook her head.
Zhao Dongkui is good at everything, but he is too honest.
And honest people, no matter what era they are, are the objects of bullying.
After that, the eldest daughter followed this Zhao Dongkui, but I was afraid that she would have to suffer a lot.
Fortunately, Liu Xing is a person who understands and can understand the twists and turns inside, which saves her a lot of trouble.
"Uncle, uncle! Xiao Budian cheered at this time, interrupting the thoughts of the family members around him.
Liu Xing looked up and couldn't help frowning.
The house that the Zhao family gave to her sister was an adobe house that was about to collapse.
Fortunately, it is on the side of the road in the market, and the area is quite large, there are six or seven rooms in total, and there is a very nice backyard.
In his memory, it seems that this adobe house was left by his brother-in-law and second grandfather.
Because the second grandfather was a single person and had no descendants, he gave it to his brother-in-law after his death.
In other words, this adobe house was not actually given to the brother-in-law by the Zhao family, but originally belonged to the brother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but shake his head.
Behind the black calf with the melon seed and Xiao Bu, he led him over.
Liu Dazhao had already taken the wooden plough off his bicycle and was waiting at the door of the adobe house.
Seeing that the gate didn't even have a lock, Liu Dongju approached, and walked in with a wooden plow.
Seeing this, Zhou Qiuxiang picked up the prepared firecrackers and set them off.
The crackling sound immediately attracted the neighbors.
When they saw the posture of Zhao Dongkui's family, they immediately knew what was going on.
There are villagers who are good with the Zhao family, and they hurriedly ran to report the news.
But I haven't seen anyone from the Zhao family for a long time.
This made the neighbors shake their heads and quickly dispersed.
After Liu Xing tied up the black calf, he took the melon seeds and Xiao Budian to the market to buy cigarettes and alcohol.
As for Zhao Dongkui, under the urging of Liu Dongju, he went to find the village chief and the team leader.
Zhou Qiuxiang saw that it was almost noon, so she put on her apron and went to the kitchen to cook on the fire.
After feeding the black calf a bucket of rice bran, Liu Dongju also went to the kitchen to help.
Liu Dazhao wanted to take a break, but after seeing that the surrounding farmland was only behind Zhao Dongkui's house, he had no choice but to pick up a hoe under the eaves and help cut the turf on the ridge.
A moment later, Zhao Dongkui returned.
Behind him was an old man with gray temples and a burly man.
Seeing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked over with a hoe on his shoulder.
If I remember correctly, this old man is the village chief of Laowu Village 'Zhao Ji', and the other burly man is a team leader of Laowu Village, that is, the production team leader 'Nie Sun'.
Zhao Dongkui was able to invite them at this time, which proved that Zhao Dongkui's popularity in the village was not bad.
Otherwise, you will never be invited to come.
"Dazhao, you also came to Dongkui today?" As soon as they met, Zhao Ji stroked his beard and greeted with a smile.
"There's no way, my son-in-law doesn't have a cow at home, I can't help it!" Liu Dazhao knew that Zhao Ji and Nie Duan were both smoking, and immediately quickly took out the cigarettes that had been prepared long ago from his jacket pocket.
But it hasn't been sent out yet, but it was given a head start by Liu Xing, who came back.
Liu Xing gave Zhao Ji and Nie Song a pack of Changsha cigarettes each: "The two must be the village officials of Laowu Village, please bear with me when we meet for the first time." β
"Who is this?" Zhao Ji did not pick up Liu Xing's Changsha cigarette, but looked at Liu Dazhao in surprise.
"My son Liu Xing. Liu Dazhao said with a smile.
"Oh!" Zhao Ji suddenly realized: "I just said how can I be very similar to you, when I went to Saltpeter Village to pick cow dung, he was just a little child! β
"Yes!" Nie Song followed, and at the same time accepted the Changsha cigarettes handed over by Liu Xing.
Seeing this, Zhao Ji also smiled and took the Changsha cigarette: "Dazhao, I have to say two words to you, you are not as generous as your son, I used to go to saltpeter village, I couldn't even get a mouthful of water." β
In fact, he didn't want to take the cigarette, after all, it didn't have a good effect.
But he knew that Zhao Dongkui definitely had something to do with him this time, so he would take it first after weighing it.
After all, he is Zhao Dongkui's elder, if he doesn't help, then the other Zhao family members are afraid that they will be cold.
"Don't say that. Liu Dazhao smiled awkwardly, but he was a little annoyed in his heart.
Because this Changsha cigarette now costs eight cents a pack!
Just sent out two packs, Liu Xing is really a loser.
However, after seeing that Liu Xing also handed him a pack, he had to put away the anger in his heart after being stunned.
Zhao Dongkui on the side also got a pack of Changsha cigarettes, he originally wanted to leave to help in the kitchen, but was stopped by Liu Xing: "That village chief, team leader! My brother-in-law called you here is actually nothing serious, I just want to ask you if the old house village is now popular to go out of the house!"
