Reborn In The '80s

Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were resting in the room. When they heard the voice, they came out from the east and west rooms respectively, and they were a little surprised to see Xu Zhao.

Xu Zuocheng asked: "Xu Zhao, what are you doing?"

Xu Zhao turned to Xu Zuocheng and asked, "Brother, do you still care about Dad's affairs?"

Xu Zuocheng asked back: "Why?"

Xu Zhao said, "Contribute money and efforts."

"Why?" Xu Zuocheng was unwilling.

"Because he is your father."

"He is also your father." Xu Zuocheng retorted.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Zuocheng and said, "So I plan to take care of it."

Hearing this, Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were taken aback.

Xu Zhao continued, "What do you say?"

Xu Zuocheng asked: "What do you say?"

"Are you going to raise your parents?"

Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng looked at each other and said at the same time, "That's your parents!"

I knew that these two brothers would be like this!

Xu Zhao asked, "Are you sure you don't want them?"

"Whoever wants will go, anyway, they hurt you." Xu Zuocheng blamed it.

Xu Zhao knew Xu Zuocheng's virtue early on, and it was impossible for them to be responsible or help the two elders, so he said, "Okay, let's separate the family completely."

Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were shocked at the same time.

Xu Zhao asked, "Separate or not?"

Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng asked at the same time: "How to divide thoroughly?"

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Zuocheng, and said word by word: "I will raise my parents. Every stitch, thread, and grain of rice belonging to my parents must belong to me. You can't take any of it."

Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng looked at each other again, and the calculations in their hearts were crackling. Xu's father had a stroke, and he would be either a paralyzed man or a semi-paralyzed man in the future. It was impossible for him to help with farm work. They still had to feed him and take medicine, which was too bad , it's better to throw it to Xu Zhao as soon as possible, they also want to make a net, anyway, they have already occupied Xu Zhao's one mu of land, and there is nothing else, so thinking about it, it would be best to separate the family completely.

At that moment, Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng agreed with high-sounding reasons.

Not surprised at all, Xu Zhao turned around and walked out.

Xu Zuocheng hurriedly asked, "Xu Zhao, what are you doing?"

Xu Zhao said, "The village head, please testify."

The village head must be invited to prevent Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng from playing tricks.

After a while, the village head was invited by Xu Zhao, and he also took a large scale. Under the witness of the village head, all those who could be divided were divided, and those who could not be divided found a way, so chickens, ducks, firewood, sickles, shovels, The bamboo baskets and even the chopsticks are divided by root.

After all, Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng are greedy for cheap, always wanting to take advantage of various distributions. Even the village head couldn't help but speak up for Xu Zhao. In the end, Xu Zhao got the white flour, corn flour, Sweet potato flour, pickles, duck eggs, wheat, bean seeds, two chickens, two ducks, etc., but the three tile-roofed houses belonged to Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng, and Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng would not let them say anything.

Xu Zhao also has three rooms, but two thatched huts and one kitchen hut.

However, Xu Zhao didn't argue for these things, as long as he could get rid of the two weirdos Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng, he could slowly improve the rest.

The first thing to be perfected is the yard. He imagined that the yard would be divided into two parts. He, Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng lived separately, and immediately went to the village store to pick up cigarettes, wine, and vegetables, and went to Dazhuang's father and others to help build the wall. , he also helped to mix clay, wheat chaff, and build walls. In the afternoon, the two-meter-high mud wall was completed, directly separating Xu Zuocheng's and Xu Youcheng's tile-roofed houses and pigpens, forming an independent small yard. His two huts and a kitchen.

Although the small courtyard is small, it is quiet and comfortable.

Xu Zuocheng yelled through the mud wall angrily: "You have the whole wall, how can we come forward?"

Xu Zhao replied, "You reopen the door yourself."

"Xu Zhao, don't go too far!"

"Otherwise you raise your parents?"

Raising parents is a nirvana!

Xu Zuoguo shut up as expected.

Xu Zhao thanked Dazhuang's father and others, and then sat in the small courtyard contentedly, feeling very peaceful in his heart. Turning his head, he saw Xu Fan coming out of the kitchen, holding a small handful of wheat bran in his small hand, facing two The little chicken said, "Cucka, cluck, come and have a meal."

Then with a wave of his little hand, he threw a handful of wheat bran to the ground, turned around and went to the kitchen again, grabbed another handful of wheat bran and said, "Cackling, eat quickly, eat quickly."

Xu Zhao couldn't help shouting, "Xu Fan."

Xu Fan looked over and called, "Dad."

Xu Zhao said, "These two are not giggling."

Xu Fan said, "It's giggling."

Xu Zhao said, "No, only hens lay eggs by clucking."

Xu Fan looked at Xu Zhao, then at the two chickens, then pointed to the two chicks with his little finger, and said to Xu Fan, "They are hens."

"No, they're roosters, with combs, you see."

"That, that, that, daddy's cock, isn't it?" Xu Fan immediately stood on tiptoe, puffed out his belly, pouted his mouth, and crowed like a cock.

It looks really... so cute!

"Hahahaha." Xu Zhao couldn't help it anymore, covered his stomach with one hand, and laughed loudly while supporting his stomach with the other.

Xu Fan didn't know why, so he laughed dryly a couple of times, but still didn't catch the joke, he swung his arms back and forth in embarrassment, and called, "Dad."

Xu Zhao couldn't stop laughing.

Xu Fan shouted: "Dad!"

Xu Zhao was still laughing.

Xu Fan raised his voice again, and shouted, "Dad!"

Xu Zhao stopped laughing, looked at Xu Fan, and said, "Come here."

Xu Fan walked up to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao put his arms around Xu Fan and kissed his little cheek, and said, "Sir, you're really good at learning, amazing!"

Xu Fan said without humility at all: "Well, Dad, I'm amazing. I can also bark, meow, quack, baa."

"Well, it's amazing, yo, you've gained weight." Xu Zhao touched the flesh on Xu Fan's body.

"I look good when I'm fat."

"Yes, you look good. You are very good-looking. However, from today onwards, you will not be able to eat meat every day. You may not be able to eat meat for many days."

"Why?" Xu Fan asked.

"Because there is no money." Xu Zhao replied.

"Then we can sell popsicles to make money." Xu Fan said.

"The money made from selling popsicles is also used to treat grandpa's illness."

"Grandpa is sick."

"Yes, so I can't eat meat all the time in the future, and I want to save money for grandpa's medical treatment, is that okay?"

"Yes." Xu Fan replied simply.

"Then what if you want to eat meat?"

Xu Fan scratched his head with his little hand, thought for a while, then pointed to the two ducks in the yard and said, "Kill the ducks and eat them."

"..."

Xu Zhao found out that he couldn't talk about business with Xu Fan, and he got off topic when he was talking, and he didn't intend to talk to him anymore, so he turned around and went to tidy up the three huts, then locked the doors of each hut, and closed the gates. close.

Then he drove Xu Fan to the county seat on a bicycle, and when he passed by the intersection of Cui Qingfeng's house, it turned out that Cui Qingfeng didn't sell popsicles there, alas, but he didn't have the mind to take care of it right now, and he would wait until Xu's parents and Xu's mother took care of it. solve.

Xu Zhao withdrew his gaze and rode all the way to a ward in the County Central Hospital. When he opened the door of the ward, he saw Xu's father who was still comatose and Xu's mother sitting in front of the bed with her head bowed.

It's just that I haven't seen Xu's mother for a long time, and I feel that Xu's mother has aged a lot all of a sudden.

"Mom." Xu Zhao called softly.

Mother Xu looked up and asked in surprise, "Why are you here again?"

Xu Zhao said, "I came to see you."

As he spoke, Xu Zhao stretched out his hand and handed Mother Xu a cloth bag.

Mother Xu asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Xu Zhao said: "Dad is hospitalized, there must be daily necessities, right? These are the porcelain basins, towels, changes of clothes, and toilet paper I brought from home. They can be used."

Xu's mother burst into tears, looking at Xu Zhao speechless, she had been immersed in grief for a whole day, and never thought of going home to get some daily necessities. Combined with the ruthlessness of Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng, she felt really sorry for her own son.

"Mom, you haven't eaten yet." Xu Zhao handed the double-layer enamel jar he just bought to Xu's mother and said, "This is for you."

Mother Xu asked, "What is this?"

Xu Zhao said, "Noodles."

"You bought it?"

"Ah."

"Is this enamel jar just bought?" Mother Xu asked.

"Ah."

"Where did the money come from?"

"I earned it myself."

"How do you make money? Xu Zhao, my mother told you that you can't do bad things." Xu's mother loves Xu Zhao very much in her heart.

"I sell popsicles." Xu Zhao said, "I made a little money selling popsicles with my classmates."

"Really?"

"Really, made a little money."

Xu's mother looked at the double-layer enamel jar and said, "Then you can't buy an enamel jar, it's still double-layered, and it's very expensive, right?"

"No, you can eat quickly."

Mother Xu took the enamel jar and put it on the bedside table without feeling hungry.

Xu Zhao glanced at Xu's mother, sighed in his heart, and finally said: "Mom, I separated from my eldest brother and second brother."

Mother Xu looked at Xu Zhao in surprise.

Xu Zhao said, "Big Brother and Second Brother said they wouldn't support you and Dad, so I'll take you and separate the family from them."

Xu's mother looked at Xu Zhao in disbelief. Since the 60s, the whole society has been impoverished. Farmers have suffered even more. They have no food, drink or clothes. No parent will pay attention to their children's psychological problems, especially Xu Zhao doesn't love them. Said that she only knew how to read and go to school, and then went to school in the county town, and it took a long time to come back, so Xu's parents and Xu's mother knew very little about the gloomy Xu Zhao, and she was deeply aware of this when Xu Fan was born, and she was even more kind to Xu Fan , in fact, to make up for Xu Zhao.

But Xu Zhao suddenly jumped into the river, Xu's mother couldn't understand, now for her, with Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng's family, she finally understood, Xu Zhao was for her own good, she had given up on Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng, so she looked at Xu Zhao and asked: "Don't you dislike your parents being your burden?"

Xu Zhao said, "No, you are my parents."

Mother Xu cried.

Xu Zhao stretched out his hand and patted Xu's mother on the shoulder and said, "Mom, no matter how difficult life is, it's better than having nothing to eat at [-], right? We have hands and feet, and we will surely live well."

"But your father—"

"We make money to buy medicines. I just asked the doctor. The doctor said that my dad will not be paralyzed, but his legs and feet are not flexible. He can still walk and eat normally by taking medicine, eating and resting according to the doctor's instructions."

"Is that so?" Mother Xu looked at Xu Zhao and asked.

"Yes." Xu Zhao said: "So we can't fail until Dad gets better. Mom, life will be better. Think about our past and now, don't we? Are there any difficulties we can't overcome? ever?"

"Xu Zhao."

"Mom, let's eat first."

"Let's eat first." Xu Fan continued in a milky voice.

Xu Zhao and Xu's mother looked at Xu Fan at the same time.

Xu Fan pointed to the enamel jar and said, "Grandma, there are eggs in it! Dad bought it!"

Mother Xu looked at Xu Fan tenderly, and asked, "Did the third child eat?"

"have eaten."

"Can you eat again after eating?"

Xu Fan sucked his mouth without saying a word, and stared at the enamel jar in Xu's mother's hand.

After the enamel jar was opened, a bowl of fragrant noodles was covered with a golden fried egg, Xu Fan immediately let out a wow.

Mother Xu picked up the egg and gave it to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan immediately opened his mouth.

Xu Zhao hummed.

Xu Fan immediately closed his mouth, leaned against Xu Zhao, looked at the fried eggs and said, "Eggs belong to grandma, babies can't eat them."

"It's okay, just take a bite."

"Don't eat."

"have a bite."

"Don't eat."

Mother Xu looked at Xu Zhao.

Only then did Xu Zhao look at Xu Fan and said, "Go and have a bite."

Xu Fan was not polite at all, and instantly rushed to Xu's mother like a rocket, took a bite of the fried egg, and jumped up happily.

Mother Xu smiled.

Xu Fan said with a happy smile, "It's delicious."

Xu Zhao also laughed.

Seeing Xu's mother holding an enamel bowl of noodles and feeding Xu Fan a half-enamel bowl of noodles, Xu Zhao was very helpless. After eating, Xu Zhao took out all the 68 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Xu's mother, scaring Xu's mother. After a jump, knowing that Xu Zhao is now promising, Xu's mother laughed and cried, took 68 yuan and said, "You gave it to me, and it will be gone now."

"If you don't have it, you can earn more."

"But you don't even have new clothes."

Xu Zhao glanced at the shabby clothes on his body and said, "It's okay, I can wear them, and I'll buy them when I make more money."

Mother Xu held the money and said, "Xu Zhao, don't worry, mom won't spend your money for nothing."

"Mom's fine, I see. You can spend a few days with Dad at ease, and I'll take care of something."

"Go, can you bring Sanwazi?"

"Yes, I'm leaving, come back when I'm done."

"Go."

Xu Zhao walked out of the hospital with Xu Fan in his arms, thinking about the sale of popsicles at the intersection, he put Xu Fan on the front bumper, stretched his long legs and was about to walk towards the bicycle when he looked up and saw Cui Qingfeng coming on a brand new bicycle. Lao Yuan shouted happily: "Xu Zhao! Xu Zhao!"
