Rebirth 90s: Sweetheart Cub

Chapter 12 Decided to go to the city

The daylight outside is gradually fading.

Zhang Xifeng sat in the main room, his mind was in a mess, all the words that the baby said.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and made a decision, "Qiqi, let's call you Uncle Chen tonight, and then go to the old village chief's house!"

At this time, everyone is still busy in the field, and when they come back in the evening, she will come to the door to discuss together.

What Qiqi said, going to the city to sell things, looking for wholesale markets, etc., sounded like a dream to her.

She couldn't believe it at first.

However, after hearing what the baby said, the idea of ​​wanting to sell the things grown in the field and earn some money became stronger.

Anyway, give it a try.

If not, then accept fate.

But what if it succeeds? That is equivalent to helping the whole village!

These years, the people in the village have already been bent back by life, anyway, the worst is like that, just fight once!

seven o'clock in the evening.

It was just getting dark, and the peasant family had already had dinner and was about to wash up and go to bed.

In the main house of the old village chief's family, low-wattage light bulbs emit faint light.

Zhang Xifeng, Chen Jianhe, and the old village head sat around on the pony, all of them looked serious.

The old village head held the cigarette stick in his hand, and tried to light it up several times, but when he saw the obedient little boy sitting next to him, he suppressed his craving for the cigarette again.

"People in our village have been rooted in Taoxi Village all their lives, and have traveled to the farthest place, which is the county seat. No one has ever been to the city. If they are unfamiliar with the place, can they find a way?" , the old village head simply bit the cigarette holder to get addicted.

He is seventy years old this year, and has been the head of Taoxi Village for nearly forty years, taking all the affairs of the village as his own.

Because the crops in the field have not been harvested for many years, the rice that was threshed in the end was barely enough for the family to eat.

In order to make more income, the villagers fiddled with dry and mountainous land, planted watermelons, sweet potatoes, corn, fruits, etc., hoping to sell some money.

Now seeing the prices of melons and fruits in the village being lowered by people, and everyone's sorrow is on their faces, he is also worried.

If he could find a way out for the villagers, he would naturally be happy.

But going to the city... the old village chief didn't dare to think about it.

Chen Jianhe clenched his cheeks, and finally said in a deep voice, "Uncle, let's try once if it works. The worst thing is that we will sell it to Xizhong Village."

After a pause, he continued, "You have also seen the attitude of the uncle and nephew of the village chief of Xizhong Village today. They are determined that we can only sell to them. Last year, the price was 30% and this year it was 50%. If we continue to take this step back, next year, they will be able to lower the price even lower, and eat up our flesh and blood!"

Luo Yuqiong, who had been silent all this time, also said at this time, "We are also farmers. We work in the fields all year round, and in the end we can't even provide food for our family. How are we worse than others? We work harder than others in growing crops! As long as things can be sold at a certain price, it will not be so difficult for every household, and those young people in the village will not be forced to leave their hometowns to work in distant places."

Qi Qi was stunned when she heard this, no wonder she saw mostly elderly people and children in the village these two days, while young people were rarely seen.

At this time, the little boy snuggling next to Luo Yuqiong suddenly said, "Grandpa, grandma, if the things we grow in the field can be sold for money, and the family has money, will my parents come back?"

This is the grandson of the old village chief, Li Hua.

The eight-year-old boy's eyes are bright, full of longing and hope that people dare not look directly at.

Luo Yuqiong remained silent and didn't answer, turning her head and blushing quietly.

In order to earn money for their baby to go to school, her husband and wife also went out to work. They only come back once every two years and stay for three or two days.

The last time the baby saw his parents was the Chinese New Year the year before last.

There are many families in the same situation as theirs in the village.

But what can be done?

Too poor.

"Go, let's go to the city!" The old village chief finally knocked his cigarette stick on the ground and made up his mind, "As for the wholesale market, we have a long mouth, and we can always find a place if we ask people!"

Qiqi sat beside her the whole time, obediently listening to the discussions of the adults.

After the old village chief finished speaking, the little egg man's voice sounded in her mind, "Little boy, you follow."

Qi Qi raised her hand almost immediately, "Grandpa Village Chief, I, I can lead the way!"

Four adults and one little boy all looked at Qi Qi with their eyes.

Qiqi was so nervous that her back straightened, "There is a very large wholesale market in the west of Huicheng. From Chengxi Station, follow the No. 5 bus, and you can get there in two stops! I, I can really lead the way..."

"Besides, I'm young and small, so I don't need to spend money to buy a ticket..."

Speaking of the latter, Wa'er's voice was already as low as a mosquito, and her two little hands were cramped together.

After a while, Chen Jianhe, who always had a dark and serious face, showed a smile on his face.

He said loudly, "Okay, Qiqi will lead the way for the village head grandfather and the second uncle tomorrow!"

"Jianhe, this..." Zhang Xifeng hesitated, Qiqi is still young, can she follow her around?

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll carry Qiqi in a basket tomorrow, so she won't be tired."

With his guarantee, and the small look of the little baby eagerly wanting to go, Zhang Xifeng sighed, and finally could only suppress her worry and nod in agreement.

The adults discussed the matter of going to the city tomorrow, and planned not to announce the matter of going to the city to find a way out to the villagers for the time being, so as not to make people happy if it didn't work out.

It was almost ten o'clock when we left.

the next day.

As soon as the gray sky dawned early in the morning, Chen Jianhe came to pick him up.

Such a young child followed into the city, Zhang Xifeng was worried and reluctant, wishing to follow her too.

But the round-trip fare to the city is a lot of money, and she is an old woman with small feet, so if she really follows her, she won't be able to help, not to mention, it will only add to the burden.

"Qiqi, remember to follow your uncle closely, it's dangerous outside, especially in the city, there are villains who will abduct children."

Zhang Xifeng adjusted the baby's clothes, tied her hair, and sent the baby to the door, babbling non-stop, "If you lose it, you can take the car back at the station, and mother-in-law sewed a pocket for your little shirt. Pack the money for emergency use. We are in Hagilu Town and Taoxi Village. When you get to the town, don’t go anywhere, just go to the gate of the town police station, and your mother-in-law will be waiting for you there.”

Chen Jianhe couldn't laugh or cry.

With him watching, he couldn't lose the baby anyway.

The little boy listened seriously, and answered seriously, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, Qi Qi is very good at finding the way! If I really get lost, I can walk back, I can find my way!"

Chen Jianhe, "..." sighed, I really can't lose it.

"Jianhe, you must take good care of Qiqi. Carry her when there are many people in the city."

"Auntie, I promise, even if I throw myself into the city, I won't lose Qiqi."

Qiqi looked at the black-faced uncle's helpless expression, turned her head and snickered, and provoked Chen Erbo to give him a slap in the face.
