Chapter 185 Buying People's Hearts
Xu Juan, who was wearing a gray cloth gown, looked away from the big orange cat, took a big bite of the fragrant ribs, and her little face was filled with confidence and pride.
"In the latest monthly exam, even the principal praised me! He said that with my results, it would be no problem whether I was admitted to high school or technical secondary school!"
"Yeah, but don't cock your tail, study hard and down-to-earth, and wait until you finish the exam next summer."
Xu Dahai smiled and said:
"If you get too proud and relax now, you might not be able to pass the exam next year."
"Ah? Fourth brother, I understand."
Sixth sister Xu Juan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have been a little wandering recently.
Immediately afterwards, a feeling of fear emerged in her heart. Fortunately, the fourth brother woke her up, otherwise something serious might really happen.
Finished eating.
Xu Dahai sent Liu Mei back to his mother's courtyard, and sat there for a while, knocking pine nuts and chatting about homely things.
Half an hour later, when he was leaving.
Sitting on the kang, smoking a cigarette, dad Xu Houtian, wearing a gray coarse cloth coat, said:
"There are still a lot of pine nuts, right? Give Xiaosi some of the whole basket and give it to Xiuxiu and Xiaotingzi."
"I'll get it for you!"
The second sister Xu Mei hurriedly went to another room to sort out the pine nuts.
The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain. On the way back carrying the basket, Xu Dahai saw a lot of muddy footprints on the ground.
Some of the footprints were nearly a meter long, and there were knee and palm prints near the front, which were very clear.
There was no doubt that it was a fall.
When Xu Dahai returned to his home with the basket, he only had a cigarette when a shout came from outside the yard:
"Xiao Hai, are you at home?"
"Who is it??"
Xu Dahai was petting the cat and eating pine nuts leisurely.
Hearing the shout, he opened the door and walked out. The hazy moonlight shone on the ground, and some small puddles formed by the rain reflected the light like mirrors.
It turned out that the visitor was Yang Weiguo, a long-term worker who lived in the backyard.
After a few words, Xu Dahai stretched out his hand to invite Yang Weiguo into the room. The latter looked hesitant, indicating that something was wrong.
lol~
Before entering the house, Yang Weiguo rubbed the dirt on the soles of his shoes with an embarrassed look on his face, looking very reserved.
"Oh~ It's okay, come in and sit down." Xu Dahai picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. The tea soup was bright and steamy.
After drinking tea and chatting, Yang Weiguo explained his purpose after a while:
"It's been such a long time since I left. I want to take a leave and go home. My mother's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years.
As soon as autumn comes, I often get headaches and brain fever, and I can’t let go. "
Xu Dahai couldn't refuse this.
Yang Weiguo was a long-term worker and earned 70 yuan a month, but he did not sell himself to his family as a slave.
So Xu Dahai handed him a cigarette and said:
"That's right. After a long trip back to my hometown, I have to buy some things. Do you have enough money? How about I get you some?"
"Ah, no, no, no, I still have money." Yang Weiguo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but he said pitifully:
"In the past few days when I'm away, you will have to feed the roe deer, stupid chickens, and dogs. You can just take out the wages for these days."
"What are you planning on? Don't worry, it's 70 yuan a month. It won't be a penny less."
Xu Dahai smiled broadly: "You have been busy for so many days, so I should give you a few days off. It just so happens that you can take a good rest for a few days when you go back."
He turned to his wife Wang Xiuxiu and said:
"Where are our red ginsengs? Take some and bring them to Weiguo. When we go back to Guanli, we should bring some of our Northeastern specialties with us."
Yang Weiguo was a little flattered and quickly declined, but he was a bad guy who was not good at words, so naturally he couldn't refuse.
All that was left in his heart was deep gratitude to Xu Dahai's family, and he secretly vowed that when he came back, he would help Xu Dahai's family raise roe deer.
I took 20 red ginseng sticks, more than half a catty.
There are also 7 to 8 pounds of sun-dried hazelnut mushrooms.
And the pine nuts that my mother just asked Xu Dahai to bring back weighed about 5 to 6 kilograms.
These three things are all good things, and in the vast rural areas of Guanli, these things have not been seen for a long time.
Xu Dahai also wanted to kill a roe deer and let Yang Weiguo take back two roe deer legs, but it was getting dark and the latter didn't want the roe deer legs anymore, so he gave up in the end.
Yang Weiguo carried his things back to the small house in the backyard.
Xu Dahai's family of three quickly turned off the lights and went to sleep. Under the dim moonlight, Wang Xiuxiu lay on the kang and whispered:
"Isn't it too kind to Yang Weiguo?"
"Ah?" Xu Dahai lay sideways on the kang: "It's only a few dozen yuan in total, it's nothing, but it can win over Yang Weiguo's heart.
As long as he can raise roe deer for our family with peace of mind, then our family will definitely earn more than these tens of dollars. "
"That's right." Wang Xiuxiu also smiled instantly.
True.
With a monthly salary of 70 yuan, many people want to work for his family, but not everyone is as honest as Yang Weiguo.
There are a lot of people who are cheating and cheating!
Xu Dahai was quite satisfied with Yang Weiguo and felt that he could not let the latter suffer.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning.
After Yang Weiguo took care of the roe deer, stupid chicken and dog, Xu Dahai rode him to Longxing Township on a large bar.
I watched him get on the train before leaving.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Xiuxiu's cousin "Yang Guoying" had previously said that he would sell antique calligraphy and paintings to Xu Dahai, but there was no news for such a long time.
It happens that I have nothing to do.
Xu Dahai rode the [-]th pole to the county seat early in the morning.
"I came here last time to buy porcelain. Let me tell you, the pieces of porcelain I bought last time were indeed quite good. I wonder how the calligraphy and paintings are this time?"
Xu Dahai stood under the old building, murmured expectantly, and then walked up the stairs.
As a result, when I arrived at Yang Guoying's house, only his mother was at home.
"Are you looking for Guoying? Didn't Guoying go to Changchun with you to sell tobacco?"
Mrs. Yang Guoying was wearing reading glasses and frowning. Xu Dahai was confused by one sentence.
"Gu, did you recognize the wrong person? Guoying and I haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Ah? Really? That means without you. Anyway, Guoying and a few friends went to Changchun to sell tobacco.
He said he could make money, well, as long as he doesn't get caught in the police... By the way, why did you call me aunt? "
Yang Guoying's mother didn't know Xu Dahai.
When Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu got married, he didn't know what happened at her workplace. Anyway, they just followed the ceremony and no one came over.
Xu Dahai said that he was Wang Xiuxiu's husband, and the old lady immediately became enthusiastic and pulled him into the house, pouring tea and getting pine nuts, Guoguang apples and so on.
