move Place?
Xu's father and Xu's mother looked stunned. The second old man lived here for almost a lifetime, from thatched huts to thatched huts to tile-roofed houses. Later, he fell out with Xu Zuocheng's brothers and returned to this small yard. They never thought of moving.
"Where to move?" Mother Xu asked in surprise.
Xu Zhao replied, "Move to the county seat or beside the big dealer."
"Where is the county seat where rural people like us go." Mother Xu was a little afraid of living in the county seat.
Xu Zhao took a step back and said, "Then let's move to the big house first."
Mother Xu reminded: "Beside the big house is a wasteland."
Xu Zhao answered: "The wasteland is just right, just right for building a house."
"But building a house costs a lot of money, we—"
"Mom, I have money."
"Building a house is a lot of money, and your dad definitely doesn't want to, he—"
Before Mother Xu could say anything, the cry of the child came from next door, as well as the voices of Xu Zuocheng and Xu's second sister-in-law pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. They didn't dare to come here to make a fuss, but they could respond with all their strength. "Eighteen generations of ancestors", "unrighteous roots", and "green smoke from the graveyard", this is obviously through Xu Dawa and Xu Erwa, scolding Xu's father and scolding the ancestors of the Xu family.
Father Xu's face turned blue with anger. He was originally reluctant to move. He had too much emotion and resentment for the yard under his feet, but when he heard the non-stop scolding from the next door, he immediately said: "Move, move, don't live here, here Leave it alone!"
Xu's mother was stunned after hearing this. She knew clearly that no matter what happened, Xu Zuocheng's two brothers were still father's sons. Xu's father hoped that the two brothers would be good, but looking at Xu Zuocheng, even the ancestors dared to scold them. Can Father Xu not be hot?
Xu's mother quickly gave Xu's father some relief.
Xu Zhao took advantage of the situation and said, "Well, I'll plan first."
Mother Xu nodded and said yes.
Cui Dingchen raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Zhao. Without saying anything, he was entertained by Xu's mother for dinner. It was not until after the meal that Cui Dingchen asked Xu Zhao, "Didn't you mean moving to the county seat?"
Xu Zhao said bluntly: "The money is not enough."
Cui Dingchen asked, "How much?"
Xu Zhao teased and asked, "Are you going to lend it to me?"
"Yes." Cui Dingchen said seriously, in fact, as long as Xu Zhao opened his mouth, he could buy a small yard in the county seat.
However, Xu Zhaoxiang was self-reliant, smiled and said, "No, I can earn it myself, and I'm not in a hurry now, and I'm staying in the village and have other plans."
Cui Dingchen asked curiously, "What's the plan?"
Xu Zhao said, "It's just an idea now. I'll tell you when I'm ready."
"Row."
Cui Dingchen didn't insist any more. After chatting, he walked to the black car. Cui Dingchen looked at Xu Zhao and asked, "Are you going to the county seat?"
Xu Zhao said: "Tomorrow, I'll deal with things at home today, and tomorrow I'll go to calculate the money for moon cakes, as well as Lao Liu's travel expenses and hard work."
"Okay, then I'll go." As soon as Cui Dingchen opened the car door and hadn't gotten in the car, he felt like there was a fleshy little dumpling around his leg. He looked down and saw that it was Xu Fan, a chubby boy. Ask gently, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Fan raised his chubby face and said, "Second Master Cui, I also want to take a big car."
"Sit down." Cui Dingchen didn't refuse.
"I can't open the door." If he could open the door, he would have climbed in already.
Cui Dingchen reached out and opened the rear door.
Xu Fan quickly stepped on his short legs and happily crawled into the back compartment, crawling and crawling. Before he could climb up, he suddenly stopped and looked inside the compartment. It was empty and there was no father, so he quickly got out of the compartment. He slid down, stood by the car door, looked everywhere, and finally saw Xu Zhao on the side of the road, and asked very worriedly, "Dad, why don't you get in the car?"
Xu Zhao was amused by Xu Fan's appearance and asked, "What am I doing in the car?"
Xu Fan blinked his watery eyes and replied, "Go to the county seat."
Xu Zhao smiled and asked, "What are you doing in the county seat?"
"Selling popsicles."
"It's getting cold, and no one eats popsicles."
Xu Fan was choked for a moment, and said while thinking, "Well, then, let's take a big bus."
"No more sitting, come here." Xu Zhao said with a smile.
Don't take a big car?
Xu Fan definitely didn't want to, so he leaned on the car door with his little hands and said, "I want to take a big car."
Xu Zhao waved to Xu Fan and said, "Don't sit down, come here and let Erye Cui go home. We will go to the county town tomorrow."
Xu Fan was still lying on the door: "I want to take a big car."
Xu Zhao said, "I won't be sitting today."
Xu Fan said, "I want to sit."
Xu Zhao stepped aside and said, "If not, you and Erye Cui should go to the county seat."
"No, I'm going to the county seat with my father."
"Grandpa doesn't go to the county seat."
"Go grandpa."
"…"
Xu Zhao and Xu Fan just said one sentence after another, Cui Dingchen sitting in the driver's seat didn't feel tired, but felt comfortable for a while. When Xu Fan reluctantly walked to Xu Zhao's side, Xu Zhao let him go on the road. When he was paying attention to safety, suddenly a reluctance crossed his heart. Then he started the car and drove away from Nanwan Village. In the rearview mirror, when Nanwan Village was getting farther and farther away, he stopped the car and touched the center console. The front door of the cigarette, only the last one left.
He flipped the last one out and lit it with a lighter. With the curling smoke, his heart finally calmed down, but his thoughts drifted far, far away, until a cigarette was about to burn out, and he didn't return. Shen'er, then put out the cigarette in the ashtray, then started the car, drove to the county seat, came to Fan Xiaodian, and saw Cui Qingfeng, who was looking anxiously here.
"Qingfeng." Cui Dingchen shouted.
"Uncle." Only then did Cui Qingfeng see clearly that it was Cui Dingchen: "Uncle, you are back."
"Well, give me a pack of cigarettes."
"Okay." When Cui Qingfeng brought a cigarette to Cui Dingchen, he couldn't help but look at the road.
"What are you looking at?" Cui Dingchen asked.
Cui Qingfeng replied: "Look at Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao said that he came to the county town today, why hasn't he come yet?"
Cui Dingchen took a pack of cigarettes, put them on the center console, gave Cui Qingfeng a dollar, and said, "He will come back tomorrow."
"Why?" Cui Qingfeng asked, "Why did he come tomorrow?"
Cui Dingchen said in a normal tone: "His two brothers made trouble last night, and the second child was arrested by the police station. He is dealing with it at home, so he will come back tomorrow."
"Are you arrested by the police station?" Cui Qingfeng was startled and asked worriedly, "Is Xu Zhao all right?"
"It's okay, he told you to take a good look at the store. That's it, I'm going back."
"Oh good, good."
It was only after Cui Dingchen drove away that Cui Qingfeng realized, how did Uncle know about Xu Zhao? On second thought, Uncle doesn't seem to have anything he doesn't know, so he stopped worrying about it, and instead listened to Xu Zhao's words and looked at the store, and couldn't help but wonder what Xu Zhao was doing.
Xu Zhao was appeasing Xu Fan at this time and couldn't get on the bus. Xu Fan was very unhappy and had to hug and coax. So Xu Zhao walked around the village with Xu Fan in his arms. The wasteland next to the dealer is really a wasteland, not to mention the pits, but also because there are many people walking, it has become a road.
After Xu Zhao finished reading, he carried Xu Fan to Da Zhuang's house and found Da Zhuang's father. Because Da Zhuang's father was injured, Xu Zhao simply talked about the plan to build a house, and then carried Xu Fan to the field for a walk, and took Xu Fan for a walk. Fan was happy, and when he got home, it was already evening, and the kerosene lamp was lit in the kitchen.
Xu Zhao adhered to Xu's mother's frugality, moved a chair, took a small book and started to settle accounts with the kerosene lamp in the kitchen room, calculating the total amount, calculating the cost, calculating the labor cost, calculating the profit, and Cui Qingfeng's share, Cui Qingfeng. Qingfeng had made it clear before that the income of any small shop could be divided equally, but the mooncake money was definitely not divided equally, but he did not give out a single cent of strength, ideas, and time, so Cui Qingfeng only needed a little bit of wages, and the rest should be Xu Zhao. of.
So, after the whole calculation, Xu Zhao made 4,185 yuan and 67 cents from the profit this time. When he was in the city, he saved 3,800 yuan, so now he still has 300 yuan in his hand. More than eighty dollars.
The maximum denomination in this era was ten yuan. Xu Zhao took out more than three hundred and eighty yuan from under the mat and counted them on the chair, which shocked Father Xu and Mother Xu.
"Wow, a lot of money!" Xu Fan was the first to sigh.
After Xu's father and Xu's mother were frightened, a sense of pride emerged spontaneously. Thinking of her young son's ability, he couldn't help feeling relieved and joyful. Xu's mother told Xu Zhao in particular: "You have collected the money, but don't lose it."
Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, you won't lose it, it will be spent tomorrow."
"Why is it spent tomorrow?" Mother Xu asked suspiciously.
"Buy clothes."
"What kind of clothes cost so much money?"
Xu Zhao said, "You, Dad, and Xu Fan's clothes for the winter, and some sheets or something."
"Don't spend so much. The soybeans will be sold in two days. I'll buy them."
"No, I'll just buy it."
"I'll buy it too." Xu Fan said at this time.
Mother Xu looked at Xu Fan and asked, "Little guy, what do you want to buy?"
Xu Fan said, "I want to buy clothes. I want to buy good-looking clothes. I want to be as good-looking as my father."
Mother Xu smiled: "Smelly and beautiful."
Xu Fan immediately replied, "Sweet and beautiful!"
Mother Xu laughed.
Father Xu pinched Xu Fan's little fleshy face fondly.
Xu Fan happily drilled into Xu Zhao's arms.
When the family was having a good time, there was another quarrel between Xu Zuocheng and his daughter-in-law from the next door. Of course, the one who climbed out is expensive." Xu Fan was talking about it, Xu's mother was annoyed, and was about to go out to scold, but Xu Zhao stopped him.
Xu Zhao said, "Mom, don't have the same knowledge as them, it's unnecessary."
Mother Xu said angrily: "She's talking so ugly!"
"As if not heard."
"I-"
"Okay mom, sit down and eat."
Xu Zhao persuaded Xu's mother to stay, and secretly decided in his heart that he would start preparing to build a house tomorrow, and hurry away from these people. Heart, thinking this way, there was another "wow" next door, who was crying again.
