Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard his mother's words, "Mom, don't worry, as long as you and my dad don't go out and tell us, no one here will know how much Clivia sells for."
Donggang is a remote place, and many people spend their entire lives wandering around the Songjiang River in Donggang. They have probably never been to the county seat, let alone the provincial capital.
If Xu Shiyan had not accompanied Xu Shiqin to the provincial capital for medical treatment, and if he had not had the memory of rebirth, he would not have known the value of Clivia at all, so there is no need to worry about this.
"Next autumn, I will find an opportunity to go to the provincial capital again and sell all the clivias at home."
Next summer, I will go to the provincial capital to rent a shop, preferably with a small courtyard.
Xia Tian has packed it up, and will find a way to transport the Clivia before October, take advantage of the best time to sell it, make a profit, and come back to do other things.
When the old couple heard this, they felt relieved knowing that their son had a plan in mind.
When he was talking, he looked up and realized that it was almost four o'clock, "Hey, you, it's getting late, Yuanyuan, Xiaoyu, and Pingping should be back soon.
These kids scream hungry when they come in, and I have to clean up and cook."
This is the case when there are students at home who have to prepare meals during school time.
Otherwise, everyone will look like hungry wolves when they come back from school, shouting for food as soon as they enter the door.
Sister Su Anfang is still working in the processing factory. They have to get off work at nearly five o'clock.
So Zhou Guilan left the two little ones in the care of Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan, and she quickly went to clean up and cook.
In this season, there are not many edible dishes.
The eggplants, beans and beans are picked before the frost, and the young ones are pickled and eaten slowly. The old ones are placed in a cool place in the warehouse, and they will be eaten up by now.
The only things that can be eaten now are radish, cabbage, potatoes, and sauerkraut that have been pickled in the vat. They have not yet fermented and cannot be eaten.
Fortunately, I exchanged a piece of soybean tofu during the day and there is still meat at home.
Slice the cabbage, cut the tofu into cubes, soak a handful of vermicelli, and cut some meat slices.
Saute in the pot until fragrant, add the meat slices and stir-fry, then add the cabbage slices and stir-fry until soft, add soup.
When the soup is boiling, add the tofu, season, simmer for a while, and add the soaked vermicelli.
Boil the pot again, and a pot of cabbage, tofu and vermicelli is ready.
Wash a large radish, cut it into quarters, and then cut it into slices.
Boil water in a pot, put it in and blanch it until cooked, take it out with a strainer and put it in cold water.
Scoop a bowl of sauce from the sauce jar, beat two eggs, add chopped green onion, and fry the egg sauce.
Then take out a head of home-pickled spicy cabbage in autumn from the vat, cut it into pieces and put it on the plate. These are the dishes for the evening.
The rice is also simple. I still have some steamed noodle pancakes and some sorghum rice, and it will be enough for this evening meal.
Zhou Guilan was busy in the kitchen alone, while Xu Shiyan and Xu Chenghou were coaxing the children and chatting in the room.
While he was talking, he heard footsteps outside. Needless to say, this must be Xu Haiyuan and his friends coming back.
Sure enough, people started shouting outside, "Grandpa, grandma, we're after school. What are we going to have for dinner? We're all hungry."
Children are hungry very quickly. Today's Yuhong classes only focus on educating children, but they don't care about eating, let alone any snacks, snacks, etc. Don't even think about it, there are none.
The children stayed at school all afternoon. They must be hungry after school, so they started shouting as soon as they entered the door.
"Are you hungry? Ask your grandpa to make some milk powder or malted milk. Take a sip to fill your stomach. The meal will be ready later." Zhou Guilan responded in the kitchen.
Needless to say, milk powder and malted milk must have been sent by others before.
For example, Xu Shiyan and his wife didn't keep the things that Mr. Li gave to Xu Shiyan before. They divided them into two parts to honor their parents.
Not only Li, but also Han Liwei mailed it back, and others came to see the old couple.
As for all the delicious food, Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan didn't want to touch a bite or give it away. They kept it all for the children to satisfy their greed.
The three of them, Xu Haiyuan, sneaked into the house. As soon as they entered, they found that there was someone else in the house.
"Dad, goddaddy." When the three children saw that it was Xu Shiyan, they shouted and surrounded him. They called each other daddy and one called goddad. They were all very happy.
Xu Shiyan looked at the three children and was very happy. He quickly asked the children to put their schoolbags aside, and then rummaged through their backpacks for them.
"Well, this is the toy I bought for you."
The iron clockwork frog, mouse, rooster, tank, rabbit, and the five children in the family, exactly one for each, alternated with each other.
What can children of this age have to play with? In the summer, they will play with clay dolls.
Just squeeze the mud into the shape of a bowl and then throw it hard on the ground.
The air inside is suddenly impacted and the bottom will burst directly, which is called a crash.
The children competed with each other to see who could throw the ball louder. The louder the ball, the more powerful it was.
In the winter, it's just smoking ice cream, putting on sledges, and skating.
Binggaer is a spinning top. It is made of wood with a ball underneath. It is pulled on the ice with a rope to see whose Binggaer can spin longer.
It's easy to put down the sledge. Every household in the Northeast has a sledge. Find a slope and lower it from the top to the bottom.
The feeling of speeding up is very fascinating to the children.
The skates are not professional skating shoes, but are made of a wooden board with two No. 8 wires on the top, a few noses, and ropes tied to the shoes, and you can skate on the ice.
In addition, the girls are also happy to play jumping grids, rubber bands, and Gala.
Boys can play with hoops and slingshots. If the family has the conditions, they can also use bicycle chains to make powder guns.
Anyway, most of them don’t spend any money and just find their own way to have fun.
It is absolutely impossible to get your family to spend money on toys, let alone such iron wind-up toys.
If anyone takes one out, he will definitely attract the envious eyes of countless friends.
So now, when the children saw the tin toy, they were all shocked.
The three pairs of big eyes were all staring at the toy, and they exclaimed, "Wow, this looks great."
Anyway, I don’t know who I learned it from. These children will be able to do it as long as they see strange things.
"You three pick first, and after you pick the rest, let them play.
You two can play with each other, but it's best not to take it out, as it's easy to lose." Xu Shiyan had to give instructions to the children.
Nowadays, tin wind-up toys are definitely a rarity.
Take it out and let other children see it. If you don't keep it all, some kid will be greedy and steal it without even thinking about it. That's for sure.
"Also, Xu Haiyuan, I'm giving you a formal warning.
There is a spring in it, and it is coiled when it leaves the factory. If you take it apart, the spring will fall apart, and your father and I will not be able to fix it.
It's up to you to decide. Anyway, if you demolish it, I won't care if you can't install it.
Moreover, you are not allowed to play with your sister and brother anymore." Xu Shiyan looked at his eldest son and warned with a sneer.
Based on Xu Shiyan's understanding of his grown-up child, the child's little hands are too weak to protect him from actually taking apart the frog if he gets curious one day.
Just in case, you have to get vaccinated in advance, otherwise Xu Shiyan will have a headache again.
