Reborn In The '80s

It was Cui Qingfeng who answered the phone, recognized the voice, Xu Zhao smiled and wished Cui Qingfeng a happy Spring Festival and a happy family, and then chatted with Cui Qingfeng for a few words, feeling that he was not in high spirits, maybe he was thinking about watching the Spring Festival Gala, So Xu Zhao didn't continue the chat with him, but smiled and said some blessings.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhao glanced at the time. He could go to sleep. He stepped into the kitchen, lit a pot of fire with dry wood without a trace of moisture, and put it in the west wing. Then he glanced at the main room. , He then told Xu Fan to wash his face, feet, butt and sleep.

"Father, I don't sleep." Xu Fan replied without turning his head in the main room.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Xu Zhao asked.

"I, I, I want to listen to the radio." Xu Fan replied in a childlike voice.

Xu Zhao then said, "Listen, I'm going to sleep then."

As soon as Xu Zhao finished speaking, Xu Fan came in smiling while eating rice cracker candies, and called sweetly, "Dad."

"Still eating, don't eat, I'm going to sleep," Xu Zhao said.

"Grandma said Chinese New Year, eat more during Chinese New Year." Xu Fan whispered.

"You will gain three catties during the Chinese New Year."

"Three catties fat, I look good."

"Nonsense, come and wash your face." Xu Zhao stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Fan to his side.

Xu Fan stood in front of Xu Zhao and said, "Wash your face and apply fragrance."

"Okay, spread the fragrance."

When Xu Zhao washed Xu Fan's feet, Xu Fan giggled and said, "Father, cut my feet and mail my nails."

Xu Zhao asked, "Do you want to cut your toenails?"

"En." Xu Fan nodded.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan's fleshy feet. He had forgotten when he cut them last time. They were really long, so it was time to cut them, so he said, "Okay, I'll cut them when I go to bed later."

"Thank you dad." Xu Fan said childishly.

Xu Zhao responded habitually: "You're welcome."

After Xu Zhao washed himself, he took a stool and a pair of scissors, put the brazier next to the bed, put Xu Fan on the edge of the bed, held Xu Fan's fleshy feet, and said, "Don't move around, or you will cut flesh. of."

Xu Fan didn't dare to move, but his small mouth kept moving: "Cutting the meat hurts, hurts, hurts and cries for me."

"As long as you know."

"I'm amazing."

"..."

Xu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at the fleshy Xu Fan. He looked so seductive. Xu Zhao immediately felt happy, lowered his head and carefully cut Xu Fan's toenails, and suddenly remembered what Xu's mother said about the blind date today, even though Xu Fan was still young. , but he felt that the child "understands" things, so he said, "Xu Fan."

Xu Fan asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Xu Zhao was silent. In fact, he not only regarded Xu Fan as a son, but also as a friend, so he said, "Dad, can I find another father for you?"

Xu Fan immediately replied: "Not good."

"why?"

"I have a dad."

"You can have two fathers, like Qiangqiang in our village, Qiangqiang has two fathers, how nice it is to have two fathers."

"Not good." Xu Fan said firmly.

"Why not?" Xu Zhao looked up at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan's small face was dazed for a moment, then he stared at Xu Zhao with watery eyes, and said, "Because he was strong and disobedient, the two fathers, the two fathers beat him together, and the beating was so fierce and painful."

"..." Xu Zhao twitched twice. Why, why Xu Fan's focus is always different from others. Forget it, people get along with each other. Now that I have said too much, this three-year-old kid doesn't I understand, so I said, "Daddy won't beat you, daddy will scratch you."

After cutting the toenails, Xu Zhao put the scissors on the table, stretched out his hand and scratched the soles of Xu Fan's fleshy feet, so that Xu Fan quickly slid into the bed, and said in a low voice, "If you can't scratch it, I can't scratch it, just a little bit."

"Little guy, I will be a little bit."

Xu Zhao got under the covers and scratched Xu Fan, giggling non-stop. Xu Fan became addicted as soon as he played and said, "Dad, scratch again, scratch again."

"Not scratching anymore." Xu Zhao said.

"What?"

"worn out."

"I'm so exhausted." Xu Fan said solemnly, "Then scratch after a while."

"..."

This child is more and more able to speak, and the longer he grows, the better-looking he is, and his temperament is becoming more and more independent, which makes Xu Zhao very happy, but this kind of temperament is not like him, nor like the original Xu Zhao, he should be like that man.

that man-

Xu Zhao desperately searched the original Xu Zhao's memory, only remembered that the man was tall and tall, not like a student, he should be not young, and his physical strength was particularly good, and the rest were some vague and fiery scenes... The reason why he became sober afterwards Xu Zhao was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to look at the man, so he ran away quickly.

As for that man—he shouldn’t be too young now, after all, it’s been four years, he might be married, maybe he has children, then Xu Fan——

"father!"

Xu Fan shouted loudly.

Xu Zhao looked back at Xu Fan and asked, "What are you doing?"

"tell a story!"

"What story to tell?"

"Whatever." Xu Fan said bluntly.

"Tell, tell me a story about the pony crossing the river?"

"it is good!"

Xu Zhao said, "Once upon a time——"

Xu Fan immediately interrupted and asked, "Father, why are you in the past again?"

"..." Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan with disgust, why did this kid do such a thing, why did such a thing!But Xu Zhao put it another way, saying, "A long, long, long time ago..."

Xu Fan finally stopped talking, Xu Zhao told the story quietly, fell asleep after listening to it, Xu Zhao also talked dry, drank some water to moisten his throat, and then fell asleep with Xu Fan in his arms .

The next day was Lunar New Year's Day, before dawn, he was woken up by the sound of firecrackers in the village, but Xu Zhao didn't wake up, and continued to sleep with Xu Fan in his arms.

He didn't wake up until dawn, but Xu Fan woke up before him. Xu Fan asked Xu's mother to put on clothes, and followed Dazhuang, stepping on the snow to pick up firecrackers in the village, and then happily ran over to eat dumplings. Throwing down the spoon, I wanted to grab the fat dumplings with my little meaty hands.

"Your father saw it." Mother Xu said.

Xu Fan was so frightened that he quickly ate the dumplings with a spoon.

After the meal, the adults dropped by, and the card players played cards. Xu Fan liked to be lively. Seeing that Xu Zhao was not going out, he held his grandfather's hand and followed him for a walk in the village.

Xu Zhao had a leisurely time, sitting in the yard basking in the slight winter sun, and then took out Xu Zhao’s original books to read. This is how he spent the first and second day of the Lunar New Year. Although it was leisurely and comfortable, it was too After being free, the phone at home didn't even ring. In the past, Cui Dingchen and Cui Qingfeng called every now and then, but in the past two days, there was not a single call.

It’s weird.

Maybe the Cui family has many relatives?

Xu Zhao didn't take this matter to heart either. It was sunny on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the ice and snow melted, and the road was not muddy. Xu Zhao followed Xu's mother's wishes and took Xu Fan to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. Xu Fan, who is good-looking and eloquent, attracted another fan, and then came back happily.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Xu Zhao brought his son and grandson to visit Xu's father and Xu's mother, and the Xu family was full of joy.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Zuocheng brought Zhu Youlan and Xu Dawa over with two packs of brown sugar to pay New Year's greetings to Xu's father and Xu's mother. No one wanted to make trouble during the Chinese New Year, so Xu's parents, Xu's mother, and Xu Zhao were all perfunctory.

After Xu Zuocheng fell into the ditch and got sick last time, he was very haggard. Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, he didn't dare to be arrogant. He talked to Xu Zhao intentionally or unintentionally. After a while, he asked Xu Dawa to change his name. After all, Sanwazi's "Xu Fan" is quite nice. Yes, Xu Zhao gave him the name "Xu Zhong", meaning to be loyal to his heart.

Xu Zuocheng looked disgusted, and finally went straight to the topic. He just wanted to ask Xu Zhao how the vegetable greenhouse grows vegetables. How could Xu Zhao not know Xu Zuocheng's thoughts? He said a few words in general, and Xu Zuocheng asked again. , Xu Zhao choked Xu Zuocheng with his words, and Xu Zuocheng desperately wanted to eat at Xu Zhao's house, but Xu's mother just didn't cook, and she didn't cook after the meal was over.

Xu Zuocheng angrily brought back two packs of brown sugar, which made Xu Zhao dumbfounded. Xu Zuocheng was really interesting, but he never cared about Xu Zuocheng, and Xu Fan was hungry, so Xu Zhao quickly helped Xu's mother cook.

While eating, Dazhuang's grandma came over to decide the meeting place with Xu Zhao and Xu's mother. We will meet tomorrow morning at 09:30 at the entrance of the Jiefang Hotel in the county town, and let Dazhuang's father and Xu Zhao go together to palm the eyes.

It was Xu Zhao's first blind date like this, and he wanted to refuse, but Xu's mother and Grandma Dazhuang were too enthusiastic, so Xu Zhao agreed.

The next morning, Xu's mother babbled and told Xu Zhao what to say, and then supervised Xu Zhao's dressing up, combing his hair, ironing his clothes, and smearing his face. If Xu Zhao was a woman, Xu's mother would definitely take it Guohui painted willow-leaf eyebrows for Xu Zhao.

After everything was cleaned up, in order to prevent Xu Fan from chasing Xu Zhao, Xu's mother specially brought three cents, took Xu Fan's little meat hand, and said that she was going to a small shop to buy sour plum powder and Tang Monk meat for Xu Fan.

Tang Monk Meat is a small snack that just came out at the end of the year. There are several types, one is made of dried apricots, and the other is dried hawthorn. It is sweet and sour, and children like it.

When Xu Fan heard this, he immediately left with Xu's mother.

After Xu's mother and Xu Fan were far away, Xu Zhao pushed his bicycle to Dazhuang's house to find Dazhuang's father, but Dazhuang's grandma said that Dazhuang's father went to the county first because Dazhuang's father could not ride a bicycle and felt that he was too strong. Zhao was so skinny and couldn't carry himself on a bicycle, so he walked to the county seat early in the morning and left a message saying that he was waiting for Xu Zhao at the intersection of the county seat.

This, this Dazhuang dad!How so simple and honest!He can carry two hundred catties of grain, but do you still dislike him for more than 100 catties?Xu Zhao really found it funny and touched, and felt warm in his heart. This brother Li is much better than Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng's two brothers who are related by blood.

Xu Zhao hurriedly got on his bicycle to chase after him, and then he got on the path, but a lamb was blocking the road ahead, so Xu Zhao pressed the bell vigorously, and the bell rang, the sheep was startled, its four hooves thumped, and immediately ran away.

But Xu Fan ran over. He heard the bell of the car in the small shop, and immediately recognized that it was his father. He was holding Tang Monk meat in his hand. Before he could get the sour plum powder, he quickly stepped out of the small shop , Sure enough, seeing Xu Zhao walking away on a bicycle, his small face was taken aback, and he burst into tears with a "wow" in an instant: "Dad!"

Xu Zhao was so frightened that he almost fell off his bicycle.
