Reborn Sanitary

In the next few days, Xu Yan got up early every day to sell vegetables, and Xu Tao watered the vegetable field at home, and repaired the household tools from time to time. Maybe Xu Yan made Xu Yan feel uncomfortable when Xu Tao steamed cakes for Xu Yan on the first day. Every night, Before Xu Yan goes to bed, she always prepares the next day’s meal. The big pancakes and steamed buns are made the day before and hung in the well. They can be eaten when they are warmed up the next day. Xu Tao sees this and cannot tell Suffering, Xu Tao knew that my sister really cared about cooking by herself. Xu Tao opened his mouth several times to say, but whenever he thought of Xu Yan's tears falling on the pancakes, he couldn't say anything.

Another morning when Xu Yan was sent away, Xu Tao finished watering and tidying up his personal hygiene. He found a broken board that was left unused at home, and planned to nail a few rectangular wooden boxes. Sometimes, you can make a lot of money by selling some garlic sprouts or something.

Thinking of money, Xu Tao scratched his head. In the past two days, he had checked all his savings over and over again. The twenty-five cents were all steel coins. Xu Tao scratched his head anxiously when he saw the pitiful coins. Although he knew his family was poor, Xu Tao still felt a little depressed about the fact that he only had twenty-five cents.

Xu Tao thought of something in the past two days. The family must have no money to buy plastic sheets, but he can go out and sell popsicles. Popsicles cost five cents each. They are cool and sweet. Although they are in the countryside, everyone is willing to buy them. This five cents is for the child to satisfy his hunger. Xu Tao remembers that because his family has so little money, his sister would buy one for herself from time to time.

Although it is hard work, those people who go to the field in the summer can afford the five cents. Maybe it is the reason for coming back. Xu Tao clearly remembered that Er Fatty once said that the five cents popsicles only need Three cents, if more than one hundred popsicles are served at one time, it is two cents and five cents, Xu Tao knows, don't look down on it, but the surrounding villages are next to each other, those who go to the field, and those who are crazy at home during the holidays, can't buy it after more than a day , but one hundred roots is definitely no problem, so that you can earn two yuan and fifty cents a day, and save one cent for one cent. At the end of the summer vacation, even if you can’t build a big shed, you can still build a small one. It’s just a little harder, but Xu Tao is not afraid Endure hardships. Although he has not suffered much during his years as a soldier, Xu Tao is not a coquettish person, and the actual situation of his family does not allow Xu Tao to be coquettish.

Staying at home every day, watering the ground at most, watching my sister earn money hard, Xu Tao can't get over it by himself, but for twenty-five cents, he can't even afford ten popsicles, so why sell it?

"Xu Er is stupid, Xu Er is stupid." The shout from outside the gate made Xu Tao stunned for a moment, and then he was a little dumbfounded. It is really a long-lost name. When I was young, in the village, children, big and small, used to call him this. Xu Tao shook Shaking his head, he stood up and walked along the path to the gate. There was a dark boy with gaping teeth standing outside the gate. Xu Tao looked at it carefully and saw that he was very familiar with him.

The boy rolled his eyes, "Xu Er silly, what are you looking at? What's wrong with your head?"

Xu Tao called out tentatively, "Er Gouzi?"

The boy grinned, "I thought you were so stupid, what's up?"

Xu Tao laughed, "Come in."

The boy hesitated, "Is your sister not at home?"

Xu Tao shook his head, "Come in, my sister is out selling vegetables."

Er Gouzi jumped up happily, and rushed into the yard with a few steps, "It's a good thing your sister is not at home, otherwise you should train me again, you don't even know, your sister went to my house, my dad gave me Good cut."

Xu Tao smiled and said nothing, Zhang Liang, nicknamed Er Gouzi, who would have thought that this dark, Mai Tai child would become a well-known excellent teacher in the city in the future.

"Why are you here?" Xu Tao took Zhang Liang into the well and sat down. Er Gouzi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Er Silly, I didn't mean it. At that time, we walked together , Throwing bricks, no one noticed, you tied your shoelaces on the side, and it hit you on the head all at once, how is it? Does it still hurt? Show me."

Xu Tao shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's fine." Xu Tao's words made Zhang Liang scratch his head again, "My mother said, if I beat you stupid, you will break my legs and never let me out again. house, so as not to get into trouble."

Xu Tao laughed, "It's okay, everything is fine, it's just that it looked scary at the time."

Xu Tao's words made Zhang Liang nod with lingering fear, "You don't know, we were all scared at that time, Xiao Ga peed his pants, his head was covered with blood, we thought you were dying."

Xu Tao just pursed his lips and smiled without speaking. After laughing for a while, Zhang Liang began to look at Xu Tao, slightly puzzled, "Xu Tao, are you okay? Why do I think there is something different about you?"

Xu Tao raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's different?"

Zhang Liang clicked his lips, "I don't know, I just feel that you are more popular than before, and you are not as intimidating as before."

Zhang Liang's expression made Xu Tao laugh out loud, "Now you don't mind responding?"

Zhang Liang nodded vigorously, "No, I will play with you in the future, we are buddies, if someone bullies you, I will help you cut him."

Seeing Zhang Liang sitting next to him patting his chest, Xu Tao felt a slight movement in his heart. It was different. In the past, he had no friends, and no one would say that he was a buddy. Although he didn’t know why, no one was born lonely. , Xu Tao smiled, his eyes curled up in laughter, and he nodded, "En."

"What are you doing?" After laughing, Zhang Liang asked curiously when he saw Xu Tao's hammer, nails and broken boards on the ground.

"I'm going to make several rectangular wooden boxes." Xu Tao squatted on the ground and put the things together, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Liang looked at Xu Tao, then looked down at the boards on the ground, "How many? You broken boards are enough for two, right?"

Xu Tao nodded helplessly, "That's all I have in my house. I can make as many as I can. When I find time, I'll go to the woods to see if there are any broken trunks and drag them back. I'm making a few."

Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, "Wait, I have a board I don't want at home, and my dad told me to play with it." Before Xu Tao could react, he jumped up and ran away. Before Xu Tao stretched out his hand, Zhang Liang ran away like a gust of wind, Xu Tao shook his head with a smile, retracted his outstretched arms, lowered his head and began to nail the wooden boards little by little.

Before Xu Tao nailed three nails, Zhang Liang came back with a bunch of boards of different lengths, sweat on his face, and started to shout from a long distance. Xu Tao quickly stood up, put down the things in his hands, and ran out , took the slippery board that Zhang Liang was holding in his arms, walked back to the well and put it on the ground, slightly surprised, "Why are there so many?"

Zhang Liang patted each other on the front and arms, "My house cleaned up the fence some time ago, and my dad replaced all the trees surrounding the yard with boards. These are all leftovers."

Xu Tao gave a nod and nodded. No wonder, if the adults in the family are capable, they will replace the yard with wooden sticks or stakes. There are almost no trees in villages like my own. Thinking of this, Xu Tao frowned slightly. Frowning, the tree stump is safer, but there are only me and my sister in my family, and I can't do it at all, Xu Tao is a little worried.

My place is good or bad, whether it is the city directly under it or the city next door, the distance is four hours by car, and the village is right in the middle, so it is not convenient to go there. The good thing is There are not many adults in the land, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you will definitely not die of starvation. The bad thing is that if you want to do some small business, you will be really anxious to death. There are no shops in the front of the village. If you think of selling vegetables in winter, the price in the county must not be as good. In the city, but if you want to go to the city, you have to walk for an hour to the brigade before you can catch the passing bus.

Xu Tao felt worried when he thought about it, even if he planted it, selling it out was also a problem. He rubbed his brows habitually, Xu Tao sighed, why is it so difficult to make some money?

"Give me the nails, I said Xu Er is stupid, what are you thinking about." Xu Tao came back to his senses and saw Zhang Liang squatting on the ground nailing the plank, and quickly pulled him up. At this time, Xu Tao completely forgot that he was also a child.

"What are you pulling me for? I'm quick and clean. I'll take you to Xiaoga and the others to beat up the farts of my hometown. It was agreed yesterday. Er silly, you haven't eaten it. Let me tell you, the farts of my hometown are roasted and eaten. It’s so delicious, every time the few of us can hit a bunch, eating hard can relieve the gag.” After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he wiped his saliva, and Xu Tao also felt sour in his mouth, and unconsciously added his lower lip, secretly Laugh at yourself ashamed.

"I'm greedy for meat. My mother hasn't bought me meat for more than a month. During this period of time at home, the fence and the house have been cleaned up. I don't have time to go to the street to buy meat. Finally, my mother went to the brigade last week. The service agency, the meat is sold out." Zhang Liang pouted after finishing speaking, and kicked the lumps on the ground vigorously.

Seeing Zhang Liang bowing his head, Xu Tao flashed a smile in his eyes, "Hurry up and do it, didn't you say to catch sparrows later?"

Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, and then he glanced at Xu Tao contemptuously, "What kind of sparrow, pretending to be a cultural person, that's called hometown fart."

Xu Tao choked up and nodded, "Well, my hometown fart."

Xu Tao's honesty and obedience made Zhang Liang grin. He squatted on the ground and began to nail it clangingly. The youngest child is usually pampered by his parents, but even so, you can tell from the speed at which Zhang Liang works, and he usually helps the family a lot. In the whole village, no, there may not be one in the whole brigade like him. Doing nothing, Xu Tao smiled wryly to himself.

Fortunately, it's not too late. Thinking of the sudden change, Xu Tao's eyes flashed a flash of determination. He will be fine. No matter how much hardship he suffers, he must leave a better family background for his sister before he walks into the olive green that he misses again.
