Dashan Makes a Living 1984 Chapter 14

  Chapter 14 014: Morning talk

  The Cao family has been a thief for generations. Cao Hong's grandfather was caught and beaten to death for stealing.

  Cao Hong's father and mother were also well-known thieves. They stole the neighbors in the village miserable, often things that had just been placed at the door, and were taken away in a blink of an eye.

Especially Cao Hong's mother, who stole almost everything, vegetables in the field, melons and fruits on the trees, farm tools that people put in the field, chickens that accidentally escaped, everything was her target. object.

  So when she was stealing something in another village, she was limped by others, but she still didn't stop her from stealing, so she took the opportunity to steal.

Based on the foundation of his grandfather and parents, Cao Hong carried forward and started to burglary. He once stole a family, was blocked at home and beat him half to death, and was sent to the police station to be detained for a period of time. Sentenced to six years.

   Not long after it was released, it started to resume its old business in a blink of an eye.

   "Grandpas, you are..."

  According to the seniority in the village, Cao Hong would call Wang Tianxiao Brother and Grandpa, which is a common name.

  Cao Hong's target fell on brother Wang Tianxiao, and there was a bit of questioning in his small eyes.

   But Wang Tiancheng didn't want the matter of the hare to be known to him, instead he seemed more nervous and looked a little unnatural, which aroused Cao Hong's suspicion even more.

   "Just came back from outside."

  Wang Tianxiao didn't want to have too much to do with Cao Hong, so he said lightly, bypassing Cao Hong and continuing forward, Wang Tiancheng hurriedly followed behind.

  Cao Hong looked at the backs of the two with doubts on their faces, shook his head, sent the bag on his back upwards, and rushed to his home before dawn.

  After Wang Tianxiao returned home, he went to the door of his cave to cool off the cold air before opening the door and entering.

  Li Yali woke up early and was still putting on the soles of her shoes. Looking at Wang Tianxiao's face livid with cold and exhausted, she said distressedly, "Why did you go all night? It's such a cold day."

   Seeing Wang Tianxiao's two bags on the back of his hand again, his eyes lit up, "I beat so much, it seems like I picked it up."

   "That's right, for you man, getting a few hares is a simple matter."

   "Bragging again, let's see if you can do it," Li Yali brushed the hair that fell on her face behind her ears, and said with a sneer, "Where is Tiancheng, don't you leave some for other children?"

   "Yes, I will give Tiancheng a share when I sell it for money. If he takes it in, there will be a sixth child in it, and the sixth child will know the fourth child if he knows it, then..."

  Li Yali smiled wryly, she didn't finish her husband's words, but she understood the meaning.

  She is just kind and gentle, not unintelligent.

   "There is still hot water in the kettle, so hurry up and soak your feet, come up and sleep for a while."

"No," Wang Tianxiao picked up a thermos and poured some water into the Yangci washbasin, and said while washing his face, "I'm going to send the rabbits to the city later, and I can sell them for a good price while they're alive. , there may be dead rabbits, not many people are willing to die rabbits."

   "In the city?" Li Yali's soft eyes were full of concern, "It's still more than 30 miles away. Your body can handle it, and you haven't slept all night."

"It doesn't matter, I'm physically strong. When I go back to work, I don't ride for a day and a night, and I don't necessarily get tired." Wang Tianxiao actually didn't communicate much with his wife when he was young in his previous life. Gradually, my wife was also affected, and I didn't talk much.

  In this life, he has accepted a lot of trendy ideas, and he has also seen the smooth talk of young people in the new era when they are in love with each other, so compared to before, he knows a lot of ways to please women.

  Li Yali is a girl born in the early 1960s. She has seen this kind of slightly oily speaking mode, and she can't stand it at all. She can only laugh at him over and over again.

   "By the way, shopkeeper, how long can you stay home this time?"

  When it comes to the work unit, Wang Tianxiao feels very complicated. There are his youth and frustration in the forest farm. But no matter what, it is impossible for him to go to the next county in this life. Life is short, and staying with his wife and children is the happiest thing.

  He has been reborn, can life still not turn around at all?

  As long as he is good at management and stepping on the tide of the times, he can also learn from others and become a wave-maker in the mountains.

   "One week, but I will apply for resignation after a week, and I don't intend to do it."

   "How is this going to work?!" Li Yali was very nervous, "No matter how hard the forest farm is, it is still an iron rice bowl for the public. It is not like ordinary people like us who can only dig food in the ground with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky."

Wang Tianxiao knows why his wife thinks this way, not to mention that people in this era have limitations. Even after more than 30 years, the only dream in the hearts of many young people is to be a civil servant. .

  Public meals are not only secure, but also have status.

   Unlike farmers who work **** the land, they are still looked down upon when they walk outside. This is the residual root of thousands of years of feudal thought and the embodiment of inferiority.

  Some people think that eating public meals is superior to ordinary people.

   "Golden nests and silver nests are not as good as our own grass nests." Wang Tianxiao checked the condition of the rabbits, picked out three less lively ones and put them aside, and continued:

   "I still want to stay near our house, so that I can be with you and the children. Besides, with your manly ability, you won't starve your wife and children, right?"

   "Hey, Comrade Wang Tianxiao, I found out that when you came back this time, you didn't do much. You can brag to the sky. It seems that people in the world are not as strong as you."

  The wife laughed and joked.

   "Don't you know if I'm strong or not?" Wang Tianxiao looked at his wife meaningfully.

  Li Yali didn't react, just like coaxing a child, she smiled and said: "Qiangqiangqiang, my man is the strongest, number one in the world, okay, doesn't it sound beautiful?"

   "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I can barely get by."

   "But having said that, shopkeeper, no matter what you do, I have no problem with it. You can make up your own mind. As long as you are in good health and our family lives in peace, I will be satisfied."

  Li Yali stroked her stomach with a mother's kindness on her face. Recently, the child started kicking her stomach.

  In fact, she also really wants a man to be with her. Which woman is willing to guard the empty room every day.

"It's getting late. I'm going to the city right now. The road is slippery and difficult to walk for more than 30 miles. I'm afraid it will take two hours. The fifth child is at home today. If you are inconvenient, please find the fifth child. He said it."

  Wang Tianxiao looked at the sky outside the window and said.

   "Well, I know, don't worry. When you are not around, I will come here as usual."

  Wang Tianxiao nodded, picked up the rabbit's bag and went out.

  Early in the morning, he also wanted to lie on the kang with his wife, but life did not allow it.

  There are a lot of troubles in front of me, and I can't completely solve this knot without quickly earning basic living conditions.

   If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing he could do, he wouldn't be able to stay in this pit courtyard for a day.
