It turned out that when the food payment came down last year, Xu Daqing and Wang Guirong borrowed 2000 yuan from the brigade after receiving the food payment, and they agreed to pay back the food payment at the end of this year. The dazzling red handprints, Xu Tao's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed the more than 200 yuan in his hand tightly, and the veins on the back of Xu Tao's thin hands popped out.

Once Xu Daqing and Wang Guirong left, have you ever thought about how you and your sister will live?Did those two people treat their sister and brother as their own flesh and blood? People say that only cruel children have no cruel parents, but Xu Tao didn't understand why it was such cruel two people who spread it to himself and his sister. A deep sorrow rose from the bottom of Xu Tao's heart, for Xu Yan, who was exhausted for himself and for Xu Yan.

That's 2000 yuan, not two hundred. In the second year of the year, the family counts on that money for planting seeds, eating, drinking, and human relations. The family can earn more than 2000 yuan from more than 700 acres of land. I didn't move, I only exchanged more than 1000 yuan after working for a year, and I was still a sister for the more than 200 yuan. I wished my sweat beads would fall into eight petals. How much money, I feel that my heart is pumping.

More than 700 yuan was directly deducted [-] yuan in arrears, and this was because the Chinese New Year was about to come, and the captain also knew that the couple who borrowed the money ran away and left the two children behind. The New Year's money and a little living money left by the two brothers, the discussion and pointing in his ears made Xu Tao feel that his eyes were dark, his chest was burning like fire, and he was depressed. He lowered his head and walked along the crowd. In the aisle, Xu Tao walked out of the accounting office of the brigade.

Standing in the cold wind, Xu Tao felt like crying, and wanted to cry for Xu Yan. Don't those two people know the hard work of farming?Don't those two people know the difficulties at home?Holding Qian's hand tightly, the cracks on the fingers slowly opened one after another due to force, leaving traces of blood.

Now the family is not short of money because of selling vegetables, but this is not a simple matter of money, but fundamentally speaking, those two people did not take their siblings to heart, otherwise how could they do such a thing Come.From this moment on, Xu Tao hated, hated that cruel couple, took a deep breath, raised his arm, wiped his eyes, and carefully put the money into the pocket inside the cotton-padded jacket. It was not simply more than 200 yuan, but It was my sister's hard work, Xu Tao wiped the blood on his hands on the skirt of his clothes, and slowly inhaled and exhaled, so as to relieve the throbbing pain in his heart.

After receiving the money, Zhang Daming walked out of the accounting room and saw Xu Tao who was standing in the yard without even a cotton cap and his eyes were slightly red. He sighed secretly in his heart. He also owed money to the brigade, but only 1000 yuan, and he had already borrowed money. It was agreed at the time that I would pay back the money in two years. Last year I deducted 500 and this year deducted another [-], and got back more than [-] yuan. But Xu Daqing and his wife were so inhumane that they took the money and ran away. Throwing the debt to the two children, shaking his head secretly, Zhang Daming walked to Xu Tao's side.

"Tao, don't be sad. If you want to cry, you can cry. It's the Chinese New Year now, so don't hold back anything." Zhang Daming's comfort made Xu Tao's nose sore, and he showed a wry smile, "Uncle, I don't cry, crying can't solve the problem, it's okay, I just feel sorry for my sister who has lost all her money for farming for a year, and I'm afraid my sister will get angry if she finds out."

Zhang Daming sighed. When he was planting at the beginning of the year, he could clearly see what Xu Yan did. It was really hard work. At that time, the family didn’t even have an animal, and they all relied on two hands. Xu Yan was also a stubborn child, but she was too tired to walk, and she didn't open her mouth to ask for help. If she and her daughter-in-law didn't look down on her and pulled the donkey to help her, the child would be exhausted.

Zhang Daming didn't know what to say, so he just patted Xu Tao on the shoulder and comforted him silently. As for Xu Daqing and Wang Guirong, even if Zhang Daming wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out what the couple wanted to do. Farmer, let's plant the land well and watch over our wives and children to live a comfortable life. This person doesn't know what he was thinking. He left the child and ran away. What is the child?Children are the root, Zhang Daming can't tell the truth, but he knows one thing, no matter what time it is, the children are his own, and they are his hope for the rest of his life.

Xu Tao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put on a cotton hat and looked up at Zhang Daming, twitching the corners of his mouth, "Uncle, let's go back, there is still a lot of work at home?"

Zhang Daming agreed, and walked towards the team's carriage waiting at the door. Along the way, Xu Tao didn't speak or show any expression. He just stared blankly at the dealer covered in heavy snow. All the neighbors on the carriage knew about it. Xu Tao's family's money was deducted. Although there was sympathy, the sympathy that did not solve the slightest problem would eventually turn into a heart-pounding injury. Xu Tao didn't want to see or listen to it.

No one knows that at the moment they walked out of the brigade's courtyard, Xu Daqing and Wang Guirong were no longer parents in Xu Tao's heart, nor were they even familiar strangers. They were completely crossed out from Xu Tao's life by Xu Tao. In this life, at least Xu Tao As long as there is still breath left, we will not recognize each other again. There was once a trace of seeing the sister whom I missed even though she was not dead. Xu Tao thought that he would see his parents as well. Smashing the last trace of reverie in Xu Tao's heart, although it hurts, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Relying on mountains and mountains, relying on water to dry, relying on parents and parents to run, he can only rely on himself, supporting this family and supporting his sister is the only thought in Xu Tao's heart.

The carriage wobbled to the team, Xu Tao got off the car and followed Zhang Daming and walked home. When he arrived at the door of Zhang Liang's house, Xu Tao smiled, "Uncle Daming, go in quickly, I'll go home and change Zhang Liang."

Zhang Daming looked at the child who was less than 1.4 meters tall and only reached his chest. He didn't say anything, but touched the top of Xu Tao's head wearing a cotton hat. Xu Tao smiled, waved his hands, and ran home.

When Xu Yan came back in the evening, Xu Tao explained the matter clearly without any concealment. Xu Yan didn't say anything, but just cried and wiped away her tears. It's like crying. In fact, Xu Yan knew in her heart that her parents would not come back, but she didn't know that they would borrow money from the brigade and leave the debt to herself and her younger brother. While crying, Xu Yan was essentially the same as Xu Tao. Si Ruan rose, and made the same decision as Xu Tao in his heart.

Xu Tao and Xu Yan belong to the same kind of people in essence. If you treat me one point well, I will return ten points. Open, there will never be a trace of softness and nostalgia, maybe a little extreme, but I have to say that the three-point nature and seven-point rear-raised personality allow the siblings to fully display it.

In the early morning of the next day, when Xu Yan got out of bed with red and swollen eyes without Xu Tao's greeting, Xu Tao frowned disapprovingly, and saw the little Xu Tao frowning tightly, looking at herself with displeasure, Xu Yan chuckled, and pinched Xu Tao's fleshless cheek, "Silly boy, sister is fine, after two days of selling vegetables, the rest is about to be given as a gift, by the way, Xiaotao, sister is going to buy fabric for you , I don’t have time right now, before you start school, I will make new clothes for you.”

Seeing Xu Yan, who was haggard but relaxed, Xu Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Last night, he quietly watched Xu Yan several times. Although he was asleep, Xu Tao was still sobbing, which made Xu Tao feel distressed. Today is completely let go.

The thoughts in Xu Tao's heart showed on his face, Xu Yan smiled and rubbed the top of Xu Tao's head, "What do you cook for sister?"

Xu Tao opened the cauldron with a smile, Xu Yan looked down, and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Xiao Tao, you know how to steam eggs."

Xu Tao nodded with a smile, "Sister, hurry up and eat, I've packed all the dishes, you can leave as soon as Brother Dahai and the others come." Xu Yan agreed to sit on the small stool in front of the stove, and took Xu Tao's hand. He handed over the spoon and began to munch on it.

Sending Xu Yan away, Xu Tao finished watering the ground and stuffed the wooden trippers into the stove pit. He went back to the house without taking off his clothes and lay down on the kang to sleep for a while. When there was a shout outside the door, Xu Tao rubbed Eyes, climbed down the pit, walked out of the house, saw Da Ya standing in the yard, Xu Tao greeted, "Sister Da Ya, come in, why are you here?"

Zhang Mei walked into the house with a smile, entered the house and sat on the edge of the kang, "I'll clean up the house, mother said when she left, Sister Yanzi went to sell vegetables, you want to see the warm shed, let me remove all the bedding now Wash it, put it on the kang and dry it for a day, and I will come over to do it at night."

Xu Tao quickly waved his hand, "No, big sister, I can do it myself later, you go back quickly, don't you also need to clean up your house? By the way, big sister, you two go to sell vegetables at home."

Zhang Mei nodded depressingly, "Can you not let him go? He is rolling all over the floor. It just so happens that the bedding at home also needs to be removed and washed, and the house needs to be tidied up. My mother has no time, so I have to let him go."

Xu Tao laughed and rolled all over the floor. This is really something Zhang Liang can do. Xu Tao knows it after being familiar with him for half a year. Be human, especially when you are unhappy.

Zhang Mei couldn't help laughing when she thought of the snotty Er Gouzi who was lying on the ground crying. She stood up, rolled up her sleeves and pushed Xu Tao away, "Go and see the greenhouse. It's the last two days. Don't freeze the vegetables. I'll do it myself."

Xu Tao stood aside to stop him, but was kicked by Zhang Mei on his buttocks. This made Xu Tao feel ashamed, his face flushed, and he didn't stop him anymore. He jumped up and ran out. Zhang Mei stood in the middle of the room and laughed hahaha , still shouting in his mouth, "I know you are ashamed, I saw you when you were naked when you were a child." Xu Tao staggered and ran even faster.

29 After eleven o'clock in the evening, Xu Yan came back, and it was a complete end to the business of selling vegetables in winter. The siblings cleaned up the greenhouse and saw that there were still three boxes of vegetables left. Xu Tao felt distressed, but Xu Yan stared. He closed his eyes and knocked on the top of Xu Tao's head vigorously, "I'm a fool, I don't want my children to be tied to wolves, we live in the small team and are under the control of the big team, and we will trouble others a lot in the future, how much benefit can we get after giving some gifts? "

Xu Tao rubbed his nose and didn't speak. Xu Yan put every three vegetables into a bag according to the head of the person. After tidying them up neatly, she was about to bend down to carry the vegetables when Xu Tao suddenly held down her hand, "Sister, let me ask you something. Has anyone asked you how much our family earns from selling vegetables during this time?"

When Xu Tao suddenly rang to go to the brigade to withdraw money, Aunt Niu in the backyard asked him how much money he earned, and she had a not-so-mature idea in her mind. Xu Yan sat on the ground, pulled Xu Tao to sit beside her, and left. He continued, "How could it not be? Widow Zhao, who lives in the west of our village, asked about it, but it wasn't me who asked. She went to the fat aunt's house to inquire. The fat aunt was so angry that she wanted to scratch her."

Xu Tao frowned slightly, thinking slowly and carefully, Xu Tao's silence made Xu Yan feel strange, turned around and looked over, and found that Xu Tao seemed to be thinking about something, Xu Yan pushed Xu Tao, "Xiao Tao, what are you thinking about?" where?"

Xu Tao looked up at Xu Yan, "Sister, put down the dishes first, let's go to Fat Aunt's house."

Xu Yan looked at Xu Tao in surprise, "This point?" Xu Tao nodded, stood up and pulled Xu Yan up, "Fat aunt can't sleep at home, let's go quickly."

Xu Yan firmly grasped Xu Tao's hand, "Wait a minute, wait a moment, Xiaotao, what are you going to do? It's almost time, you can tell my sister what you are going to do first." Xu Yan shouted loudly Hold Xu Tao by the side to prevent Xu Tao from leaving.

Seeing Xu Yan's expression, Xu Tao sighed slightly, knowing that she would definitely not go if she didn't make it clear, Xu Tao pulled Xu Yan and sat down again, "Sister, it doesn't take long, after the new year, the whole village will go Everyone will know that our two families have made money selling vegetables, and more people will come to the door at that time. We live in the same village, and your family and hers will be related after calculation. Have you thought about what to do by then? ?”

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong? You can still grab it at your door." Xu Tao shook his head, "It's impossible to grab it, but some people will be jealous, and if there are too many jealous people, accidents will happen. Sister, if everyone is poor, no one will No better than anyone else, hello, hello, hello everyone, but not now, our family and the fat aunt’s family have made money, what do you want people to think?" Xu Tao paused, looked at Xu Yan seriously, "Sister, you Have you ever counted how much money our family has?"

Xu Yan gave Xu Tao a blank look, "Do you think I have time?" Suddenly Xu Yan stared at Xu Tao, "Xiao Tao, is my family rich?"

Xu Tao nodded helplessly, "Yes." Xu Yan swallowed, coughed, and asked in a low voice, "How many are there in our family?"

"Eight thousand and seven." Scared by the number Xu Tao said, Xu Yanteng stood up, her eyes were about to pop out, and she stammered and asked again, "Eight, eight thousand, more than 8000?"

Xu Tao nodded, pulled Xu Yan to sit down, and waited for Xu Yan to come back to her senses. Without even thinking about putting it on, Xu Tao quickly grabbed the padded jacket and pushed it behind.

After rushing back into the house, Xu Yan jumped onto the kang and opened the kang cabinet, took out a large wooden box, and after opening it, she saw that it was stuffed with tens of dollars and one dollar, completely stunned.

The author has something to say: Don’t think that eight thousand and seven is a lot for a greenhouse. In the early 90s, the net profit of a normal one-acre greenhouse was more than 3. Xu Tao’s greenhouse is relatively small, so it’s quite reliable to earn this amount. I checked a lot of information, and my eyeballs almost popped out.There is also the issue of food prices. In the 1990s, the price of food was [-] cents, and around [-], it was [-] cents or [-] cents. After that, it increased year by year. At that time, the price of pigs was [-] cents or [-] cents per catty. I have been looking for this price for a long time, and I asked my relatives in the countryside.
