Dashan Makes a Living 1984 Chapter 42

   Chapter 42 042: Cage Set

  Woke up the next day, Wang Tianxiao didn't see the two kittens, and when he put on his shoes, he found them hiding in his shoes, sleeping soundly.

  He rubbed the little guy's heads, lifted them up and put them on the kang.

   "Chi Liu." The kitten narrowed its eyes, but got into the quilt extremely quickly, lay down beside Wang Fang and continued to snore.

  At this time Li Yali also woke up, squinting her eyes and asked: "Shopkeeper, why are you up so early?"

   "It's getting late," Wang Tianxiao smiled and pointed out the window, "It's already dawn, I'm going to make some cages for catching rabbits and pheasants and put them in the mountains."

   "Oh," Li Yali didn't understand the things in the mountains, she struggled to sit up, "Then I'll help you heat the steamed buns, you can eat some with pickles. It's too early to know how to cook."

  Wang Tianxiao gently put her down on the kang.

   "Don't bother, I'm not hungry now. You have to rest well, the child should be a matter of this week, and it will be your hard work then."

  Li Yali smiled, "Having a baby, there is no such thing as hard work, as long as I can give you a big fat son, I will not be afraid of being tired."

  Wang Tianxiao smiled again.

He found that after he was reborn, he especially liked to laugh, not the kind of happiness that had expectations for future life, but seeing his wife, seeing his daughter, and even eating the cornmeal buns that he thought were dry and difficult to swallow before. happy.

  He feels alive.

  In his previous life, he had already been overwhelmed by life, exhausted his spirit, and turned into a walking dead.

   Tired of running.

   Difficulties are always one after another. Suffering is like a mountain. When you turn over a smooth road that is temporarily flat, you can turn over and find that there is a higher mountain ahead.

   "What are you laughing at?" Li Yali asked.

   "Nothing, just happy to see you."

   "It's really you, you." Li Yali felt the love in her husband's eyes, and smiled shyly.

   "Let's go."

  Wang Tianxiao turned around and went out.

  Remembering what he said last night, he directly led the three dogs to the cliff and tied them to a big apricot tree at home.

  The big apricot tree is surrounded by alfalfa fields, and the front, rear, left, and right sides are far away from the road. No one will run across half of the alfalfa field to provoke dogs, and there should be no more troubles.

   The three dogs seemed a little unconvinced and unwilling to be tied up, but Wang Tianxiao had a friendly communication with them and told them that this was all temporary and that they would be set free when they lived in the mountains later.

   This made them quiet.

  Wang Tianxiao went down again and rode his bicycle to the town.

  I bought a set of fitter's tools, including four rolls of iron wire, some thin turns, and some thin steel bars. These are the necessary materials for him to make a cage.

  It's a bit heavy, and it's heavy to hang behind the car.

  If it weren't for the heavy-duty bicycle's strong load-carrying capacity, it might not be able to hold it.

   It's not that easy to just ride.

   On the way back, he bought a few locks by the way, and the locks of those rooms in the mountains had to be changed.

   It cost him more than 100 yuan to go back and forth to these materials.

  However, this is a necessary investment. If you are lucky, you can earn back the harvest in one day.

  In the 1980s, people had a different way of thinking about business than in later generations.

  In this day and age, people think that the better things are, the easier it is to sell, so you get what you pay for, and there are very few things with inflated values.

  Decades later, sales have shifted from a demand-side market to a seller-side market.

   It is not what you want, what I will sell you, but what I have, what you need.

  All kinds of luxury goods, some trendy cultures, elements, a cup of autumn milk tea that everyone should have, etc.

  These commodities do not only have their own value, they are added with other artificial values, so they have a higher premium.

   This is the post-modern business model.

  Even though Wang Tianxiao has never done business operations again, he has been deeply influenced by his ears and eyes, and has participated countless times as a consumer.

  So he will always be much more advanced than the thinking mode of this era.

   As long as this is the case, he is enough to be at the forefront of the times.

  Back to the pit yard, the family of the third child and the fifth child also came back.

  They just went to the production team to work to earn work points.

   Qingcheng in 1984 was undergoing a period of change. The old and the new policies coexisted. On the one hand, some villagers were able to contract land from the village leaders, plant their own land, and then pay the public grain for the autumn harvest.

  But there are still some people, such as those who are overborn and just married, who have no land for the time being, and they can go to the village or the land on the team to earn work points.

   This state did not last long, probably because the land was redistributed shortly after the Chinese New Year. Li Yali was only allocated two acres of land in her previous life, and her daughter Wang Fang was allocated three acres of land.

   As for his son, Wang Peng, who belongs to super-born, also called black household, not only cannot register, but also has no qualifications for land distribution.

   Wang Peng was not allocated one mu of land until he was seventeen or eighteen years old. In the intervening years, the family only had three mu of land combined with his wife and daughter, and there was not enough food to eat.

  Meeting each other head-on, the old couple saw that Wang Tianxiao didn't speak, and Yu Xiaofeng, the hanged ghost, had his eyes downcast, as if others didn't pay for their food.

  He naturally didn't bother to pay attention to this superb couple.

  Lao Wu and several others went in, and then whispered: "Brother, look at that hanged ghost."

  Wang Tianxiao bent his index finger and tapped Wang Tiancheng's head, "Don't talk nonsense."

   "There's no such thing as nonsense, it's what it is." Wang Tiancheng's character is actually very gentle and honest, he rarely speaks behind his back, but he also hates Yu Xiaofeng very much.

  Wang Tianxiao smiled, turned around and unloaded things from the bicycle.

   "Brother, why did you buy so much wire?"

   "Make a cage."

   "What are you pretending... Oh, I see." Wang Tiancheng understood immediately, leaned his head against the tree next to him, and stepped forward to help Wang Tianxiao start lifting the steel bar.

  Wang Tiancheng is a young man. With his help, unloading the car has become much easier.

  The two carried the things down first, and then carried them into the cave dwelling of Wang Tianxiao's house together.

  Li Yali was making lunch, so she called Wang Tiancheng to eat together later.

  Lunch is quite rich, it is stewed vermicelli with rabbit meat.

  The taste of rabbit meat was mediocre, but under Li Yali's superb cooking skills, a strong fragrance came out.

  The staple food is steamed buns, and the soup is leek and egg soup.

  Chives are salty chives that are pickled when winter first comes.

  The winter here is more than twenty degrees below zero, and almost no vegetables can survive, so people mainly rely on pickles and kimchi in winter.

   Vegetables that can be pickled and pickled include radish, leek, cabbage, pepper, eggplant, cucumber, celery, tomato, beans and so on.

  It can be said that everything can be soaked.

  Wang Tiancheng was not too polite, just sat down and took the chopsticks. He and his second brother and second sister-in-law have always been very close, so there is no need to see outsiders.
