MTL - Hello 1983-Chapter 18 Gift

  Chapter 18 Gift

   "Eldest sister, grandpa and brother, why haven't you come back yet?"

  In the past two days, Caifeng kept repeating this matter in her little mouth, and at the same time counted her fingers one by one: "Today is the seventh day."

  Liu Jinfeng was also flustered. Grandpa's eyesight was bad, and it was Sanfeng'er's first time traveling far, so she was even more worried.

   But it's useless to worry, these days, it's really inconvenient to contact.

  There is no telephone in the village, and the telegraph is quite expensive.

   Moreover, in their village, the postman will ride a green bicycle every other week, slowly wandering into the village under the envious eyes of the villagers.

  Based on this calculation, sending a telegram is not much faster than writing a letter.

  The letters in the past were very slow, but they were definitely not empty words.

  Seeing that the eldest sister was silent, the fourth youngest couldn't help sticking his teeth in front of Liu Yinfeng again: "Second sister, when do you think my master and my brother will be back?"

  Liu Yinfeng is writing English vocabulary, and both sides of the exercise book are densely written with ABCD.

   Not only that, she wrote with a pencil for the first time, a red pen for the second time, and a pen for the third time.

   Such a page can be used for three pages.

  Actually, Liu Yinfeng is also looking forward to her younger brother's early return, and plans to learn English with him.

  She stretched out her hand and pulled the braid of the antenna of the fourth child: "Don't worry, your brother promised to buy you a big white rabbit, and he will definitely buy it back."

ah!

   All of a sudden, Xiao Caifeng was a little bit embarrassed when she was punctured, she tilted her head, and was about to think about how to justify her name.

  Suddenly heard a shout from the courtyard: "Sanfeng'er is back!"

   Hearing the voice, it seemed to be the big head, and the family ran out in a hurry.

  Even the grandma in the east courtyard ran out on little feet, not being left behind.

  Liu Shikui strode into Jiapigou, looking around greedily.

  The scenery in his eyes is so familiar, the squat little hut, and the chickens, ducks and geese strolling around, they all look so friendly.

   "I saw it, I saw it all, I can finally see it again!"

   Liu Shikui chanted excitedly, and a gleam appeared in his eyes again.

  As for Liu Qingshan, he carried a big burden and followed behind his grandfather, and the burden was even heavier than when he walked.

  After walking for more than ten miles, I feel as if I just took a bath in the river.

   His shoulders were also hot, but the smile on his face was extremely bright.

  The little kids at the entrance of the village have already huffed and surrounded them, staring at each of them eagerly.

  Liu Shikui, in a good mood, took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket, and yelled with a smile, "Come on, each person has a share."

   "You little girl is Shan Xing'er, you brat is Si Huzi, haha, come on, grab a chicken for grandpa, and grandpa will give you candy."

  Si Huzi is really unambiguous, it happens to be bare buttocks, which is convenient.

  I saw him grabbing his own **** with his small black hand, and then threw it towards Liu Shikui.

  At the same time, Si Huzi, who was still playing with the accompaniment, clicked his tongue and made a "da" sound.

  Liu Qingshan put down his burden, suppressed his smile, and helped his grandfather distribute candy to the children one by one.

   The four tigers who behaved well were stuffed with two yuan, after all, it was quite a face for the old man.

   There is also Shan Xinger, Liu Qingshan also put two yuan in her pocket.

   At this time, a group of people flocked to the place. Apart from the family members, there were also many villagers watching the fun behind them.

  Outsiders only come to the village a few times a year, and they can talk about it for half a month about going to the supply and marketing cooperative.

   "Old man, your eyes are healed!"

  Grandma and grandpa knew what was going on when they met their eyes. They lifted up their skirts excitedly and wiped away the unstoppable tears.

  Liu Shikui also looked at his wife lovingly: the old woman's hair is much whiter than the previous two years, and the wrinkles on her face are denser, but... But in his eyes, why can't he see enough?

   "In the past two years, those at home and outside, thank you for your hard work!"

  Grandpa gently stroked grandma's white hair, which was combed out of pimples and wrapped in a black net bag, with his hands, and couldn't hold back the tears.

   In front of so many folks, grandma couldn't help lowering her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

  But Liu Qingshan could feel that there was a light called "happiness" shining in grandma's eyes at this moment.

  For old couples, isn’t it the greatest happiness to be able to walk the long road of life together hand in hand?

"elder brother!"

  Si Feng'er couldn't bear it long ago, rushed up and threw herself into Liu Qingshan's arms.

  Holding the little guy's soft body, Liu Qingshan smiled even wider, peeled off a piece of candy, and stuffed it into her little mouth.

   "Ah, toffee!"

  The thick milk fragrance accompanied by a little bit of sweetness made Sifeng'er's eyes narrowed into two slits. With her arms around Liu Qingshan's neck, she kissed her brother on the cheek.

   "Brother, you are so kind!"

  So close, Liu Qingshan could smell the milky fragrance from her small mouth.

   "Eldest sister, second sister, where is our mother?"

   Liu Qingshan looked at the two sisters who looked concerned, and his heart was warm, so he asked.

   "Mom went to the field to pick up pigs and eat vegetables."

   Liu Jinfeng looked at the full load, and immediately began to complain: "Sanfenger, why are you emptying out the department stores in the city?"

   "Sister, let's see what gift I brought back for you?"

  Liu Qingshan lifted the straw curtain on the burden, and inside were two cages made of wire.

   There are two big roosters in a cage, with beautiful white feathers, big red combs, and black eyes, looking around vigilantly.

  The other is fluffy chicks, all of which look like little **** of hair, which are really cute to look at.

  The surrounding villagers were a little disappointed, and several aunts and aunts began to chatter: "This is the most indispensable thing in our village. Why do you have to go all the way back from the city?"

   "Let it be... Let it be!"

   Zhang Ganzi squeezed out of the crowd wearing big pants. When he saw two big cocks, his small eyes immediately lit up.

   "Hey, this chicken is quite fat. If it's stewed, and you add a little wine, it won't make your mouth run out?"

   While talking, he also grabbed it with his hands.

  The big rooster had been on guard for a long time. When it pecked suddenly, Zhang Pole immediately hopped there with his arms and legs, and his mouth kept screaming for pain.

Should!

   Liu Jinfeng is not used to this lazy man. She read the introduction in the newspaper before, and introduced to everyone: "This is a foreign chicken in the city. It can lay more than 300 eggs a year!"

   "Zhang Ganzi, if you dare to steal and eat it, I will sew your mouth shut!"

   Zhang Ganzi immediately shrank his neck and closed his mouth. This old Liu family's big Feng'er is a well-known Feng Lazi in the village, and anyone who saw it would be frightened.

   Yang chicken?

  When those aunts and aunts heard this, their eyes began to light up.

  This year, the big guys are counting on the eggs to exchange some daily necessities, rice, oil, salt and pocket money.

  The local chickens at home can lay more than a hundred eggs a year after they are exhausted, and the foreign chickens can actually lay three hundred eggs a year.

  Even if one egg sells for eight cents, there are one hundred extra eggs, which is eight yuan.

  If you raise ten or eight...

  So when they looked at the chicks in the basket, their eyes changed, and they burst into flames, as if they saw a hen laying golden eggs.

   "Dafenger, these foreign chickens, my aunt catches a few, will I give you fifty cents for one?"

   It was the captain's aunt who spoke.

  Fifty cents is a high price. Usually, the old hen at home hugs the nest, and the chicks that hatch are basically fifteen cents.

  Of course Liu Jinfeng is not happy, there are only a hundred or eighty chicks in the cage, how is that enough?

  So, without saying a word, she turned to look at her younger brother.

   It's strange to say that before the sisters and brothers, Liu Jinfeng had the final say on big and small matters, but now, even Liu Jinfeng feels that family matters should be listened to by San Feng'er.

  Of course Liu Qingshan knew what these aunts and aunts were thinking.

  He also knows that the Liu family is an outsider. Over the years, the villagers have taken care of them a lot, and he is willing to lead everyone to make a fortune together.

But there must be rules, he looked around, raised his voice, and said unhurriedly: "Aunts and ladies, listen to me first, this foreign chicken is relatively delicate, and I don't know if it can be raised well. You have to give it a try first."

   "If it can be done, everyone will raise it together. Let's charge a cost price for chickens and so on!"

  Well, that’s the reason, don’t spend fifty cents to buy chicken cubs, die of illness after a few days of raising them, you don’t have to feel sorry for them to death.

  Everyone nodded one after another, and then they all stared at the other end of the burden: I don’t know what good things are here?

  In a village, there are no secrets at all, so Liu Qingshan also lifted another burden openly.

  The villagers were even more disappointed. It was full of books.

  For them, this thing has only one purpose: cigarettes.

What? It can also be used as **** wipe paper, I think too much, who would be willing to wipe such a white paper, scraping it with a stick is good.

   "Exercise!"

  Liu Yinfeng cheered when she saw it, picked up the flower basket containing the books, and ran home.

   After running two steps, she turned her head and smiled at Liu Qingshan: "Sanfenger, you are my real brother!"

   Since they were relatives, Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing.

  My second sister, I don’t usually like to smile, but when I smile, it’s really pretty, and it feels like a flower blooms instantly.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but want to tease her, so he yelled: "Second Sister, don't rush away, there are good things prepared for you."

   "These are the best!"

   Liu Yinfeng yelled without looking back, and continued to run.

   "You said it, then you must not regret it later."

  Liu Qingshan muttered, and then waved to Datou and Er Biaozi: "Shi Cheng is behind, let's meet him."

   "The little stone is here too, let's go."

  Shi Cheng is in the same class as them, but his family lives in a commune, his father works at a purchasing station, and his family eats commercial food.

  The three little brothers greeted them two miles away, only to see a half-sized man pushing a bicycle, walking here with difficulty, also sweating profusely from exhaustion.

   "Come and help me, I'm exhausted, Qingshan, you are a landlord who catches young men!"

  Shi Cheng handed over the bicycle to Datou and the others, wiping away his sweat.

  He looks fairer, although his face has not fully grown, but it can already be seen, and he will definitely be handsome in the future.

   "Don't worry, I won't make your hard work in vain, and I will reward you well later."

  Liu Qingshan patted him on the shoulder, and as a result, the kid slumped and sat on the ground, looking really tired.

   There is no way, there are too many things brought back, Liu Qingshan will not be able to transport them all by himself, so he found this old classmate, who let his family have a bicycle.

   Waiting for the four and a half children to return to Jiapigou, the spectators were about to leave, but they saw something pushing a bicycle full of things, and hula surrounded them again.

   Then, the crowd went completely nuts.

   "Oh my god, such a big radio!"

   "What is this thing? It seems to be the kind of tape recorder that can listen to tapes. It costs hundreds of dollars a piece!"

   "My mother, Shanghai watch, return two yuan, one for men and one for women, how much will it cost!"

   "Your old Liu's family, are you dying?"

  …
