Chapter 008: Big Bubble Gum
"Brother, you are also fat. The melon seeds grabbed a big river crab and handed it to Liu Xing.
"Okay! good!" Liu Xing reached out and touched the little head of the melon seeds, took the river crab with a smile and ate it.
"Well, it tastes good. Liu Xing's eyes lit up.
The taste of the river crab of 82 is really different from that of the river crab decades later, although there is no blessing of various condiments, but it tastes fragrant and has an endless aftertaste, especially the crab meat, which tastes quite chewy.
"It's just right!" melon seeds smiled sweetly.
"That's right, indeed. Liu Xinglian nodded.
Liu Dazhao, who was outside the house, saw this scene, walked in with a rice bowl, sat with melon seeds, and enjoyed this difficult river crab feast.
What Liu Xing didn't know was that it was because of this river crab that the whole family had inadvertently changed a lot.
......
Fill your stomach.
Liu Dazhao went back to the room to rest because of a leg injury.
Liu Xing hid in the kitchen with melon seeds and began to clean the snails.
Due to the large quantity, it took almost two hours to wash.
I wanted to go back to my room to sleep, but when I saw that it was almost four o'clock, I had to take the black calf out of the bullpen and go to the river to graze it.
This time, the melon seeds did not follow, and after playing beside Liu Dazhao for a while, they lay down and fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, it was sunset.
Under the eaves, there were a lot of fresh shallots and wild celery.
These are all picked by Liu Xing in his spare time from herding cattle.
There are not many of them, that is, they want to try their luck in the market, and if they sell well, it is not too late to increase the picking efforts when they have time.
Liu Dazhao also woke up at this time, limped out of the hall, and couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the shallots and wild celery on the ground: "These wild vegetables can't be sold in the market, your mother has tried them before, and in the end they can only be eaten by the pigs in the pen." ”
"I pick these and don't go to the market to sell them. Liu Xing replied funny.
"Then where are you going to sell it?" asked Liu Dazhao suspiciously.
"Inside the city. Liu Xing didn't hide it.
"How to go?" Liu Dazhao scratched his head.
The 28 bars in the house are bursting, there is no transportation, if you want to go to the city to sell things, it is really a fool's dream.
"I can carry it with a black calf. Liu Xing wanted to hide it, but in the end he said it, after all, he didn't want his father to worry about him.
Moreover, the black calf is the most valuable thing in the family, and if he loses it in the city, he really can't afford it.
Of course, he believed that his father would agree. Because there is no better means of transportation to get to the city except the black calf.
Liu Dazhao was silent for a moment when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said: "Your idea is good, the question is that do you know the way to the vegetable market in the city?"
Buffalo, horses, and mules can be used as means of transportation in the countryside, as long as they are domesticated well, it is not impossible to go to the city, and the older generation in the village often used mules and buffalo to sell goods in the market for more than 100 miles, and it is quite safe.
Later, with the popularity of bicycles, this phenomenon slowly decreased.
It didn't disappear until the eighties.
As soon as Liu Xing heard his father's words, he knew that he was relieved, and said perfunctorily: "I went to the city with my classmates when I was in the third year of junior high school, and although I don't know where the vegetable market is, I have a mouth! ”
"That's right. *** nodded in agreement.
You can only ask for directions, and it is not difficult to find the vegetable market.
"By the way, is Mom back?" Liu Xing looked into the room.
"Not yet!" Liu Dazhao sighed lightly.
The brother-in-law's house is more than 100 miles away from saltpeter village, even if he doesn't rest this time, he is afraid that he will have to come back at six or seven o'clock in the evening, he has tried before, and now that he thinks about it, to be honest, he is a little scared in his heart.
"Then I'll pick up Mom. Liu Xing said what he thought in his heart.
"Don't go, do you know which way your mother goes?" asked Liu Dazhao.
"That's right. Liu Xing sneered.
There are many roads leading to my uncle's house, and they are all mountain roads, surrounded by dense jungles, and sometimes you can't even find them on the same road.
So......
Let's stay at home honestly!
After all, judging from the memory of rebirth, my mother will definitely be fine in eighty-two.
"By the way, melon seeds, what about the pigweed you hunted at night?" Liu Dazhao heard the two pigs in the pigsty neighing, and was stunned for a moment, and asked the melon seeds hiding in the corner to secretly eat river crabs.
As soon as these words came out, Melon Seed's face became ugly: "Dad, Wo...... The nest got up and forgot. ”
"Then why don't you go quickly?" Liu Dazhao said with a wry smile.
His feet are like this, and it is impossible for him to go down to the field.
So I can only be wronged by melon seeds.
"Oh!" the melon seeds ran away with a woven bag in one hand and a river crab in the other, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This girl. Liu Dazhao shook his head.
Liu Xing smiled: "Dad, then I'll go to Guan Niu, don't throw these shallots and wild celery under the eaves, I'll go to the city tomorrow to try my luck." ”
"Okay!" Liu Dazhao said that he was not worried about his daughter-in-law Zhou Qiuxiang, but at this time, he stood on tiptoe and looked at the opposite mountain road, and the worry in his eyes made Liu Xing on the side see it in his eyes and remember it in his heart.
But he didn't bother, but led the black calf towards the bullpen.
......
turned off the cow, Liu Xing was not idle.
Instead, he walked to his own ridge and helped the melon seeds to beat pigweed.
Seeing that it was almost over, he carried it back home.
At this time, at night, the saltpeter village was already shrouded in lights.
Mother Zhou Qiuxiang has not returned, and his father has disappeared.
Even Liu Ye didn't know what was crazy, and he didn't go home after school.
Liu Xing originally wanted to go to the entrance of the village to have a look, but in the end he gave up and sat at the door of the kitchen and chopped up pigweed.
Just when it's almost chopped.
Liu Ye came back with a schoolbag and a dog from the same village.
They chewed big bubble gum in their mouths, and the way they talked and laughed made the melon seeds playing at the door envious.
What melon seeds envy is not that Liu Ye has friends, but the big bubble gum in his mouth.
Because she's so big, she's never eaten yet.
Liu Xing didn't care about the big bubble gum at all.
Because that's not a good thing.
However, he ignored the feelings of the melon seeds, and he didn't expect that the melon seeds would persistently follow Liu Ye and drool in order to eat a big bubble gum.
Originally, he thought that Liu Ye would give melon seeds a big piece of bubble gum to satisfy the appetite of melon seeds, but who would have thought that during the time he was feeding the pigs, Liu Ye actually quarreled with melon seeds.
As for the source of the quarrel, it was actually Liu Ye who disliked that the melon seeds were a fart.
Liu Xing was so hot at that time!
originally wanted to teach Liu Ye a lesson.
But in the end, I endured it.
hugged the unhappy melon seeds and whispered a few words.
Then he led him into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there are also leftover river crabs cooked at noon.
Liu Xing went to the stove and steamed it again, and then handed it all to the melon seeds in a big bowl: "Eat it! Eat them all, don't leave one for Liu Ye." ”
Since Liu Ye has no heart or lungs, he naturally won't keep the delicious food.
"That'...... What will mom eat when she comes back?" asked Melon Seed, biting her index finger.
She really wanted to eat river crab because it was so delicious.
But she prefers her mother to the latter than her mother who is not hungry.
"There's still a lot of it in the bucket! Let's do this to anger Liu Ye. Liu Xing replied softly.
For melon seeds to still think about their mother at this time, to be honest, Liu Xing really didn't expect it.
Compared with Liu Ye, melon seeds are really too sensible.
It also made him feel very distressed.
"Hee-hee...... Then can I eat it in front of Liu Ye?" Hearing this, the melon seeds finally couldn't help but smile sweetly, tilting their little heads and asking.
"Absolutely. Liu Xing replied.
Just in case, he walked into the hall with melon seeds in his arms.
At this time, Liu Ye was doing his homework, and when he saw the river crab in his hand, his eyes were straight.
I want to eat, but I can't say it.
Because he also knew that his previous actions were excessive.
It's all a family, and since he can't give the melon seeds big bubble gum, then he doesn't have the face to eat the river crab in the melon seed bowl.
Liu Xing saw Liu Ye's thoughts, and sat aside with a smile: "Why did you come back so late today?"
"Can you handle it?" Liu Ye replied without raising his head.
"Yes. Liu Xing nodded.
His younger brother is still as arrogant as ever!
Just as he was about to take the melon seeds out to eat river crabs, he faintly heard the voices of his parents and the cry of the dogs.
"What's going on?" Liu Xing walked out with melon seeds.
Gate.
In the light of dim lights.
Liu Xing saw his angry father on the mountain road, and his mother with a gloomy face.
Behind them, the dog's face was already swollen from crying, and there were faint traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.
