Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 161 One breath of life

"Okay, don't be afraid, I'll go take a look." Qin Hao put down the meat in his hand, then washed his hands and prepared to take a look.

Even if nothing happens, I still have to go and have a look to reassure my wife.

I haven't seen many people fleeing famine in recent years. They have never seen them because they have all gone into the mountains and their living conditions are not particularly good.

"Don't go, your injury is just fine." Li Meiling was a little nervous, afraid that something would happen to him again.

"What else can happen at home? Don't worry." Qin Hao comforted her for a few words, and then went out with a sickle.

As soon as I went out, I happened to meet Zhao Laoliu, who was pulling back and forth against a man in rags.

"Zhao Laoliu, what are you doing!" Qin Hao shouted and ran over.

You can't just hit someone when you come up, just talk about something if you have something to say.

Zhao Laoliu was stunned, grabbed the man and said, "Brother Hao, your uncle!"

"Ah?" Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, and when he got closer, he saw that it was his old uncle Wang Dagui, right?

"Uncle? When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" He glanced around and found that Wang Dagui's clothes were in tatters and his face was gray. He looked a bit like a beggar begging for food.

Suddenly he thought of something and pulled the person home.

"Haozi, don't drag me...I, I can't go back!" His voice was hoarse, as if he was holding back tears.

Qin Hao turned back and looked at him coldly and said, "Uncle, you don't want my mother to worry about me. Come with me to my house first. Don't say it's useless!"

No matter what, Wang Dagui helped him in the first place and didn't say anything to him. He even gave him two hundred yuan before leaving.

Whether in the city or in the countryside, these two hundred yuan are not a small amount.

Wang Dagui walked behind with his head lowered and remained silent.

Zhao Laoliu on the side said hello and left. After all, he had seen Wang Dagui's scenery before, and now that it has become like this, there must be something bad to say. He, an outsider, will not get involved.

The two of them entered the house one after another. After Li Meiling saw the person clearly, her eyes widened immediately, "Uncle?"

She thought it was a beggar, but she didn't expect it to be Wang Dagui.

The clothes were in tatters, full of dust and dirt. The cotton of the black cotton-padded jacket outside has been exposed.

The whole person lost his usual charm, his eyes were slightly dull, and there was an embarrassed expression on his face.

"My niece-in-law..."

Li Meiling came to her senses and quickly let people into the house to rest. "Uncle, sit down for a while, my meal will be ready soon."

After she finished speaking, she went out, and Qin Hao followed her out, whispering: "Daughter-in-law, tell me after you put the food out and I'll boil some water."

This is too dirty. Let him take a bath after dinner and then change into clean clothes.

Back in the house, Qin Hao looked at his old uncle sitting by the kang, and then realized that he had lost a lot of weight, his face was still the same, and he was wearing a broken hat.

But my body doesn't look as bloated as it did in the summer, and I probably lost about thirty kilograms.

"Uncle, after dinner and a shower, I'll find some clothes for you to change into. My mother will definitely get angry if she sees you like this." Qin Hao sighed, thinking that it was probably over with the stone bet. .

In fact, it was expected, after all, that thing would lose nine times out of ten, and it couldn't be seen with the eyes.

Those who specialize in this game will also be beaten, and gambling stones are the most untouchable.

"Well. Haozi, thank you." Wang Dagui was about to cry. He had nowhere to go now.

In fact, he arrived at the Qin Family Fort yesterday, but due to the current situation, he felt shameless to go in.

After wandering around for a day and a night, I was really hungry, and I wanted to come out but didn't.

As a result, Zhao Laoliu discovered him and caught him. If he hadn't been caught, he might have starved to death in the woods.

In this life, he has never understood anything.

When he was driving for his boss to make money, he was defrauded of all the savings he had saved for several years. That was 20,000 yuan, which he had saved without eating or drinking.

He was really unwilling to be deceived like this.

Qin Hao didn't ask his uncle what happened. He already guessed what happened, so why did he ask? Isn't it just poking someone else's wound?

The food was ready soon. Li Meiling brought it into the room and asked her uncle to eat.

Qin Hao went to boil a large pot of water and brought back the hot water bottle. He put this hot water bottle in the yard for bathing. Now that the weather is cold and the sun is too cold, he has to physically fill it with hot water like this.

"Uncle, you can take a shower after eating in a while. It's just a bit cold outside, just take a shower."

When I have time tomorrow, I will take him to the town bathhouse to have a bath. It is really inconvenient to take a bath at home.

Wang Dagui also felt like he was about to stink, so he nodded and agreed. It was indeed cold outside, but the bathing shed was surrounded by a plastic sheet so it was airtight.

After eating and taking a shower, he felt much more comfortable.

Coupled with the fact that he had no fixed place to live during this period, Wang Dagui lay down on the kang and fell asleep when he came out.

Qin Hao's clothes were so tight that he couldn't even put on his jacket and trousers. He only wore autumn clothes and long trousers, which were as tight as sausages.

"Do you want to tell mom?" Li Meiling asked in a low voice, looking at the person lying on the kang. She also felt distressed by the thunderous snoring. At such an old age, she didn’t even know how much she had suffered.

Qin Hao thought for a while and said: "Stop talking now, you go to mom's house later. I'm also going out to the town to buy some clothes for my uncle. It's definitely not possible to wear it like this."

He wanted to maintain the dignity of his old uncle. He had been away from home for so long. Last time he came back in good condition, but this time he was like a beggar.

Not to mention whether Wang Dagui can bear it or not, most people just don't have the mental capacity to bear it.

Li Meiling nodded obediently, put on a headscarf and went to the agency store. It's been quite cold recently, with light snow falling this morning. It's difficult for Wang Dagui to grit his teeth and hold on.

After the others left, Qin Hao also went to the warehouse and entered the modern era from the vegetable cellar. It is the most convenient place to buy clothes, and it is convenient. There are not many good clothes in town, and they are quite expensive.

There are also many people in modern clothing stores during the lunch break. When he went to the mall, he could not buy high-end clothes because they were of the wrong style.

It's better if it's women's clothing, but men's clothing, he thinks it's most appropriate to choose a suit and graduate from school.

Because this style exists in both eras, it is the least likely to go wrong.

As the last choice, a suit is definitely not acceptable. Wang Dagui’s previous personality must be eliminated, so graduating from school is very suitable.

The mall didn’t sell any school uniforms, so I didn’t buy anything here. I went out to a nearby labor store and bought a set of school uniforms. I also bought a pair of cotton trousers, two pairs of large-toe cotton shoes, some pairs of socks and underwear, and two sets of shirts. pants.

I had to have a change of clothes, and I also bought a set of dark blue polyester cardigan clothes and a graduation coat.

The three items I left before were given to Qin De, one was kept for myself, and the other was given to my brother-in-law.

So you must buy this. If you don’t have a cotton-padded jacket in winter, you will freeze to death. The lowest temperature in the Northeast is minus 30 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature is minus 30 degrees Celsius. It is impossible to live without a cotton-padded jacket.

Taking all the things with me, I went to the vegetable market and bought a few kilograms of large pork bones. Recently, the meat has increased to 121 kilograms, and the big bones cost ten yuan per kilogram.

It seems that the price is still on the rise, but when the temperature gets cooler, their family will kill the pigs and there will be no need to buy meat to eat.

When he got home, Qin Hao put his things on the sofa. The person on the kang was not awake yet.

After the snow fell to the ground outside, it started to snow again. Now that it's November, the chance of snow will increase, and it will be very cold recently.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Meiling came back. The sound of trucks was heard outside, and Li Haidong also returned from delivering goods in the city.

After getting off the car, he followed his sister in. On the way, Li Meiling said that her husband's uncle was here and asked him to talk to people and stop acting like a mute.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, Wang Dagui on the kang also woke up and was stunned for a while looking at the surrounding situation.

Then I remembered that he had arrived at his nephew's house.

"Uncle is awake."

"Uncle."

Li Haidong called for someone next to him and looked at the old uncle curiously. He was wearing ill-fitting autumn clothes and long trousers. He felt strange no matter how he looked at it.

Qin Hao said: "Uncle, this is Meiling's younger brother, who helps me work here."

After saying that, Wang Dagui came back to his senses and nodded to him. "Haozi, you didn't tell your mother about my coming, did you?"

He was still a little nervous. The eldest sister who left home last time told him to be careful and save some money to marry a wife.

It's fine now. Not only did I not make any money, I also lost everything. I can't find a penny in my body.

Qin Hao knew that he wanted to save face, so he said: "Uncle, my mother will know sooner or later. Do you want to hide here forever and never see her?"

The two are biological siblings. No matter how miserable they are, how can a biological sister despise her younger brother?

"I won't hide here forever. I will leave tomorrow and go out to work." After Wang Dagui finished speaking, he stopped talking.

He had already thought about it before he came. After seeing his sister for the last time, he would die. This was the end of his life.

Seeing his dejected look, Qin Hao stood up angrily, "Are you promising anything? You went out to hang out when you were a teenager. Now you can't survive until you make it out, right?"

It was obvious that Wang Dagui wanted to die. He didn't want to persuade him too much, but after all, he was his mother's biological brother and he couldn't just die without saving him.

A person has only one breath to live, and even if he can move, he cannot lie down on the kang. Are you less than forty years old and don’t dare to fight?

Qin Hao's words made him embarrassed to face him. He was right, and he was not willing to accept it.

But what if you are unwilling? All the savings were gone, and I had no shame in going back to work.

Wang Dagui's bragging was all blown away, so he didn't have the nerve to go back.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Hao continued: "People don't live to enjoy happiness. If you don't go through this, there will be other things waiting for you in the future. I advise you to think about it carefully and don't let my mother miss you."

Wang Dagui didn't say the specific thing, but he knew from Qin Hao's expression that his nephew knew about it.

Why do you know...

Wang Dagui remembered that Qin Hao had reminded him, but he was too high-spirited at the time to believe it.

Looking back now, he really wanted to slap himself at that time.

Why don't you listen to the advice?
