After rebirth and divorce, I took care of my children and became rich

Chapter 50 The old scalper-like father



Aunt Erhu and his wife both ate a strawberry, "It's very delicious, very sweet, it must be very expensive!"

"It's not expensive. I'd rather eat a mouthful of fairy peaches than a basket of rotten apricots. It's a little more expensive and it's still worthwhile. Take it and eat it. All three of you will eat this plate this afternoon. You won't be able to put it away after washing it. If you don't eat it, The rest will also go bad.”

Aunt Guo often comes to Chen Hong's house and does not regard herself as an outsider. She knows that the Erhu family and his wife are real people, so she picks up the fruit plate and divides the fruit into their hands.

"Eat it. Chen Hong has washed so much sincerely just for us to eat. It won't hurt if we eat it. Don't waste such a good fruit on her."

After chatting all afternoon, Yang Xiaofeng gradually relaxed, "Sister Chen Hong, you came late at noon. I don't know that Zhao Meili has been targeting Yang Xiaolian. She has no conflict with her. I don't know why?"

Aunt Guo said next to her: "You and your mother-in-law just work hard all day, and you don't know the twists and turns between these women. There is no conflict between them. It's just Zhao Meili showing off her dress. Yang Xiaolian Come on, she thinks her limelight has been stolen from her. She is deliberately looking for trouble!"

Aunt Erhu also said: "You are also a fool. If I hadn't been sitting at this table, you would have been targeted. Didn't you see that?"

"Is she targeting me? I don't know!" Yang Xiaofeng opened her mouth wide, very surprised.

"The leather sandals on your feet were bought by Xiaofeng when he went to the city the day before yesterday. The Wang family's daughter-in-law asked you and you told the truth directly. I heard that Zhao Meili had a fight with a man last night over buying clothes and shoes. It must be irritating to her ears, didn’t you see her digging at you every time?”

"No, I thought she dug Yang Xiaolian!"

Hearing Yang Xiaofeng's words, Chen Hong couldn't help but smile, seeing how easy Yang Xiaofeng's life was.Zhao Meili has many evil intentions, but unfortunately, when she meets Yang Xiaofeng, she becomes a blind man and lights up the lamp - in vain.

Aunt Guo and her sister-in-law also laughed: "Hanhan is as good as Hanhan. No matter how thoughtful you are, meeting her will be in vain!"

The four women chatted until five o'clock, when the village chief came, and then they left and went home to take care of the drunk man.

The village chief uncle also drank a lot, and his brain seemed to be spinning when he spoke. Chen Hong quickly helped Aunt Guo send him back.Then he turned around and went home to get a bottle of honey for the village chief. He told Aunt Guo that it would help the village chief drink it to relieve his hangover, and then he took his son home.

Taking advantage of the ample time today, Chen Hong went to the village supermarket to buy some ribs, pig's trotters and large intestines. She cleaned them carefully at home and cooked a large pot of braised pork.I made two pots of steamed buns and a large pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

Set aside what you need to eat at night, and put the rest into the space to prepare food for when you go to sea.Everything I prepared last time was finished, so I just restocked today.

I took my son to harvest all the vegetables in the backyard. It’s time to raise autumn cucumber seedlings. After picking another crop, it’s time to take off the kidney beans and kidney beans. I need to plant another season of autumn beans and autumn kidney beans, just in time with potatoes and celery. For a change.

At night, after the child went to bed, Chen Hong sorted out the vegetables she picked in the afternoon and put them in cardboard boxes for storage.I picked tea leaves and roasted two more pots of tea leaves. This time I harvested 10 kilograms of dry tea directly. The old tea trees came into the space and grew very well.I only drink the tea from the old tea tree myself, I never dare to give it to others.

Chen Hong feels that now she can do so much work and often stays up late in the space, but she never feels tired. This is because she often drinks tea leaves from the old tea tree.

I picked a basket of strawberries and blueberries, and picked honeysuckle.Smelling the fragrance of orchids, Chen Hong came to the orchids and was pleasantly surprised to find three orchids, each of which had sprouted five or six seedlings. It seemed that they needed to be divided.

Regardless of whether the plants could be divided during the flowering period, Chen Hong dug them out with a shovel and violently split them apart. A total of sixteen small flower seedlings were separated.I planted them separately at a distance, watered the space with a bucket, and waited for them to slowly resume growth.

Leisurely walking under the durian tree, she saw the fruits she had combed with her own hands slowly growing up. Chen Hong seemed to have smelled the special fragrance of ripe durians. She closed her eyes and imagined that there were hills of durians around her, that kind of harvest. The scene is particularly satisfying.

Every fruit was touched by her own hands. Chen Hong found it a bit funny, and her love for durian made her become a little crazy.In fact, Chen Hong likes to eat every kind of fruit and has no preference.Chen Hong would even put green peppers, onions and raw green onion leaves in her mouth and eat them.

It is my son Yu Yang who really likes durian, but durian is too expensive. For me, buying it once is a luxury.But every time I buy a small box of fresh durian for my son to eat, he always puts the plumpest and most square piece of fruit into his mouth first.

Until now, I still think of the scene in my mind of my son holding a small piece of durian meat and tasting it carefully with squinted eyes.This seems to have become my obsession, a heart disease that is difficult to cure.

When I saw the big-leaved durian tree, clusters of small bumps appeared on the trunk. They were the prototypes of durian flowers. The tree was about to bloom and bear fruit. Today was really a surprising night. The plants in the space were thriving. , flourishing branches and leaves.

A life like Chen Hong's is full of vitality and hope. A beautiful life is what it is now.

The next day, Chen Hong returned to her hard-earned life of fishing at sea.After working frantically for two consecutive days and selling nearly 9 yuan in three sales channels, Chen Hong began to slow down.

September 5st is coming and the fishing moratorium is over.The price of fishery products in the entire market has dropped. Common fish prices have dropped by 10-20 yuan per catty, and some fish have even dropped by 6000 yuan per catty.People like Chen Hong who harvest a lot earn at least [-]-[-] yuan less per day for the same fish catch.

Chen Hong felt distressed by such a big price difference.But the market determines the price, which is beyond the control of individuals.The ordinary fishermen in the village are happy. Their fishing skills are not good, but they get a lot from the nets. Although the price of fish has dropped, their income has increased.

Chen Hong was not in a good mood these days and decided to take a day off to adjust her mood.

On the morning of the [-]rd, I called my father and found out that he had gone to Jinan to work again.Chen Hong felt very uncomfortable. She asked him to come here to help her take care of her children, and she could also find a way to help him recuperate.After working for a lifetime, it’s time to take a break.

But he didn't want to say anything, saying that it wasn't like he couldn't do it, and he could make money and spend it comfortably.Regarding her father's stubbornness, Chen Hong could not do anything to him in her entire life.

The old man only knew how to work hard all his life. I heard from the old people in the village that my father learned his carpentry skills from his grandfather.Both grandfather and grandson are honest craftsmen, and their carpentry skills are known to everyone for hundreds of miles.

But life is full of drama. Chen Hong's great-grandfather and father have been faithful to their duties all their lives. They only know how to work hard and earn money to support the family.However, the grandfather of the middle generation was a "showman" who loved eating, drinking and having fun all his life, and did not like to work.

Two generations of grandparents support him, but he often goes out to drink, socialize and spend money.He had four apprentices in his life, but all of them were taught by his eldest son.

Therefore, when the new year comes, the apprentices come to visit.The older generation first went to the master's house, and then to the junior brother's house, which made the whole village laugh privately.

Grandpa Chen Hong still went his own way and lived a relaxed and unrestrained life, receiving gifts, spending money and drinking wine.Chen Hong's father has three brothers and a younger sister.

When he was only 13 years old, he learned carpentry from his great-grandfather. It was in the 60s, and he only went to junior high school for three years. My father followed his great-grandfather, carrying more than 100 kilograms of tools, and traveled across the mountains and ridges to the mountain villages to make furniture for people.

The second uncle was more cunning. He went to junior high school and did not survive until graduation, but he got a wife.The couple was too careless and neither wanted to work hard. They had a falling out with their grandfather since they got married and moved into a mill in the brigade.

The second uncle resolutely refused to hand over the money he earned to his family and lived his own life.Only the honest father took over the burden of supporting the family from his grandfather after his great-grandfather passed away.

I helped my grandfather raise his second uncle, aunt and uncle.It wasn't until my elder brother was 12 years old and went to junior high school, my second uncle left early for a solo career, my aunt got married, and my brother-in-law was about to get married, that my father, who was like an old scalper, separated the family.

Two years after the separation, Chen Hong's family saved money to build a house and move out.At that time, my grandfather had already built a house for his brother-in-law and got married.

Chen Hongchang remembers that life was very difficult when she was a child. Her family of five lived in a borrowed mud house of six or seven square meters for two years.

An adobe kang occupies half of the room. There is a big vat beside the kang. All the food in the house is put into bags and stuffed into the big vat.Cooking is done under the corner of the yard. When it rains, there is no way to cook.

On a rainy day, you can only cook in the house. The thick smoke in the house is like smoking rabbits.Fortunately, the stove I used was an enamel basin that my mother had used, and the inside and outside were covered with mud mixed with wheatgrass. The top was pasted into a triangular stack, and six or seven thin steel bars were inserted in the middle to make a mud stove.

The stove could be moved into the house at any time, and I could still manage to eat. I felt very happy at that time.Looking at the two-meter-long bed at home, Chen Hong really couldn't remember how her family of five slept on a 1.2-meter-wide earthen bed for two years!

When I grew up and started a family, I understood how difficult it was for my parents.But until I was almost 50 years old, I experienced the embarrassment of having no money.Only then did Chen Hong understand what her mother had said about her father's despair when they were young and their grandparents forced them to drink pesticides because of [-] cents.

People will only go to extremes when they are really forced to do so.

Now that I think about it, my father simply forgot to take a bus with his apprentices and didn't include the [-] cents for the three bus tickets.His grandparents led the whole family to interrogate him all night long. Because he couldn't live up to the five cents bill, his grandparents scolded him for half the night.

Dad didn't come back to sleep all night, and mom thought he slept with his uncle in the old house.It wasn't until my grandfather came in the morning to tell him to go to work pushing manure that he realized he hadn't come home all night.

Grandpa also knew something was wrong and mobilized all the people in the alley to look for him, only to find that he had drunk pesticide and got into the firewood pile.

Fortunately, there wasn't much left in the bottle, and he was rescued after resuscitation.

My mother was so anxious that she moved back to her parents' home and had a fight with her parents before they were separated.But they still have to pay five yuan a month for pension, food is not included, and the medical expenses are shared equally among the three brothers.

The purchasing power of five yuan in the 70s was definitely greater than the 500 yuan given by Yu Hai.In order to leave the blood-sucking home, my parents agreed to these conditions, which were very harsh in those days.
