70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 130 Good News

Xie Xiaonian heard Father Xie's words, although she was a little unhappy, she didn't show anything. After all, she didn't have any feelings for Father Xie, and she didn't expect him to prepare any dowry for her. As long as she didn't take away the dowry from Xu Zhongjun, Xie Xiaonian would won't say anything.

So Xie Xiaonian replied directly: "No need, Dad, I met my uncle some time ago, and he said that they prepared a few boxes and quilts for me, which is enough for the dowry, so you don't need to prepare any more, you should keep the money Come on, marry Dabao a wife, he is not young anymore."

"Your uncle's family prepared it for you? Why didn't you tell me!" Father Xie felt that he had been slapped in the face, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone.

"I forgot!" Xie Xiaonian felt that there was nothing to explain, so she said directly.

Anyway, she is about to leave this house soon, so it doesn't matter whether she pleases Father Xie or not.

Seeing that Xie Xiaonian's tone was not kind, Father Xie was also angry, and he just ignored Xie Xiaonian, thinking to himself, don't you have a good uncle's family, then let your uncle's family take care of it for you, and save yourself money.

Because Father Xie and Xie Xiaonian don't like to see each other, Wu Lihua is at home now, and she is also very careful, so during dinner, the atmosphere in Xie's house is very depressing, even Xie Xiaobao, who always eats big, dare not make a sound when eating .

After Xie Xiaonian entered the space at night, she began to taste the canned food she made recently. In these canned food, Xie Xiaonian added her own sugar.

After tasting it, Xie Xiaonian felt that although the soup in these cans looked a bit yellowish and the fruits were not bright, the taste was much better than before. The ones made directly from sugarcane segments were considered a success.

In fact, what Xie Xiaonian wants to make most is canned oranges, after all, canned oranges are the most classic and delicious.

It's a pity that the climate here is not suitable, there are no oranges, and there are no oranges in the space.

It can be said that there is no space for all the fruits in the south. It seems that we should pay more attention in the future, get some fruit seeds that are not available here, and try to plant them.

The space is so magical, it should be possible to grow southern fruits.

After Xie Xiaonian tasted the canned food, she began to use jujubes, cherries, hawthorns and other fruits to make preserved fruit. The last time I made it, I had already eaten it.

Early the next morning, Xie Xiaonian went out as usual, because this time he brought a lot of things, so Xie Xiaonian tied the two full backpacks to both sides of the back seat, and then stuck the cloth bag containing rabbit skin in the The bicycle bar in front is fixed with a rope, and it is considered to be properly packed.

Because there were too many things, Xie Xiaonian felt that he couldn't push the bicycle anymore, and it took half as much time as usual before Xie Xiaonian finally arrived at the uncle's house.

As soon as Sun Feng saw her coming, he hurriedly said, "Why did you bring so many things? You went up the mountain with the educated youths from your village. If you brought so many things here, they might be dissatisfied."

"It's okay, it's not something rare, and these two things were given to me by the two of them. After all, we asked uncle for something today." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"If you don't want anything, you can just say it." The eldest sister-in-law said with some reproach.

"It's like this, don't we usually go hunting in the mountains, so we saved a lot of rabbit skins, and today I want uncle to help me to nitrate the rabbit skins so that we can make clothes." Xie Xiaonian said In the yard, he said while unloading.

"It's simple. I'll tell your uncle when he comes back from chopping firewood." The eldest sister-in-law replied with a smile.

After taking the things into the house, Xie Xiaonian opened the cloth bag containing the rabbit skins, and said, "There are a total of 102 pieces of rabbit skins inside, and the top 30 pieces were saved by me and Xu Zhongjun before. I keep it for myself to make clothes, so I don’t need to give it to me. The remaining 72 pieces were hunted by the three of us. After finishing these 3 pieces, I will take them back and share them equally with the other two educated youths. I found a large piece of sugar cane in the mountains, and I read how to use sugar cane to make sugar in the book, so the 72 catties of sugar in this basket were made by ourselves, and if you collect it, it will be regarded as a reward for uncle."

Before Xie Xiaonian finished introducing everything, the eldest concubine hurriedly said: "What kind of reward do you want? I'll give you all the nitrate when the time comes. We can't ask for it, and sugar is so expensive, it's because of your hard work, don't keep it for yourself." Come on, what are you doing here?"

"Why do I need so many skins? The ones I share are enough for me and Xu Zhongjun to make a piece of clothing. I would never want these 30 rabbit skins. In addition, there are still a lot of sugar cane in the mountains. , We have as much sugar as we want, so you can keep the few catties. In addition, I also made some canned food with sugar, I will share it with the children, and you can clean up the other things yourself!" After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian said Grab one of these jars and get ready to eat canning with a few kids.

"Don't feed them. It's too cold. It's easy to cough. Wait until it's hot before serving it to them. You think it's summer!" the elder sister-in-law hurriedly stopped.

"Okay then, let's eat persimmons. We made these persimmons ourselves. They are delicious." After speaking, Xie Xiaonian stuffed one into the elder concubine's mouth, and then distributed one to each of the children. .

And Xie Xiaonian herself was holding a dried persimmon, eating it beautifully.

Because of the temperature in the space, the persimmons she made in the space were not as delicious as these.

After packing up the things, the elder concubine said: "It is popular to wear military uniforms when getting married now, but our family has no place to get military uniforms, so I made you a body with military green cloth, and you and I go into the house to try, if you don't If it fits well, it’s still too late to modify it.”

After speaking, he dragged Xie Xiaonian into the room, took the clothes, and put them on Xie Xiaonian.

Xie Xiaonian tried it on and found that it fits very well. Although this dress is still the most common style, it looks much better than the previous red dress.

"Well, not bad, it fits right on. When you go back in the afternoon, just take it back, and I'll send it to you again if you don't need it." The eldest sister-in-law said with satisfaction after seeing that Xie Xiaonian was very energetic after putting it on.

After Xie Xiaonian stayed at his uncle's house until the afternoon, and went home in the evening to prepare the meal for a while, the rest of the family came back one after another, and each of them had obviously happy faces.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaonian felt a little surprised, the Xie family was never so happy.

And at breakfast, everyone was not so happy. Why are they so abnormal now, and they don't know what happened during the day.

However, Xie Xiaonian didn't ask, and kept serving the rice, no matter what, what should be known will always be known when the time comes.

Sure enough, after a while, several people in the yard couldn't help but start discussing.

The first one to speak was Xie Xiaobao, who still couldn't hide his words. He said: "When I was 16, I came back as soon as school was over. I finished my meal early and occupied my seat early. There will definitely be many people watching that day. Movies, we have to go early, otherwise we won't get a good seat."

Xie Dabao continued excitedly at this moment: "You come back immediately after school to move the stools, and then go to occupy the seats. When the time comes, I or our mother will bring you the food. People from the nearby villages will definitely come There are quite a few, and it’s hard for our village to show a movie once, but people from other villages can’t take the good position.”

"Well, big brother, we must grab a good seat then." Xie Xiaoye also excitedly continued.

From what they said, Xie Xiaonian also knew the general situation. It turned out that on the day of the 16th, a movie was going to be shown in the village, no wonder everyone was so happy, even Xie's father had a smile on his face.

You must know that it is very difficult to show a movie in the village at this time. There is only one projection team in the whole county. Any village that can show movies is also arranged by the higher authorities.

Before Xie Xiaonian crossed over, her uncle's village showed a movie once, but at that time the original owner was in school and didn't go.

In the meantime, there was a movie in a village nearly 20 miles away from Xiezhuang, but because it was too far away, only a few people in the village ran to watch it.

Now there is a movie showing in Xie Zhuang, no wonder Xie Xiaobao is so happy, Xie Zhuang hasn't watched a movie in the past two years.

Although it was very common to watch movies in the previous life, Xie Xiaonian hadn't seen movies shown in the 70s, so he decided to go and see them that day to experience them.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian arrived at Li Zhenzhu's house the next day, Li Zhenzhu immediately came up to him and said, "Xiao Nian, I have some good news for you. On the evening of the 16th, there will be a movie in the village, and it will be in the open space at the west end of the village. The side is very close, we will go down the mountain early to get a good position."

Seeing that Li Zhenzhu was so happy, Xie Xiaonian said: "I already knew yesterday, I won't move the stool when the time comes, your house is close, you can help me bring an extra stool to occupy a space, I have to go home to cook at night .”

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely reserve a good seat for you." Li Zhenzhu promised.

Although Liu Yifan didn't say anything, he was very happy watching it. After all, there are no entertainment activities now, and everyone in the village is very excited to be able to play a movie.

Because there is little entertainment, even if it is a repeated movie, some people will travel more than 10 miles to watch it.

Thinking of the movie, Xie Xiaonian asked, "Do you know what movie to show?"

"I know, I know, yesterday the loudspeaker in the village said to play "Red Sun" and "Tunnel Warfare". Although I have seen these two movies before, I still want to watch them." Li Zhenzhu continued excitedly.

But after she finished speaking, she became a little silent, maybe because she remembered the days when she was at home.

After getting along for such a long time, Xie Xiaonian has gradually learned the reason why Li Zhenzhu came to the countryside.

It turned out that before Li Zhenzhu graduated, her mother was going to ask her father to entrust her to send her to the army, otherwise she would go to the countryside to become an educated youth.

Her mother was not willing to let her go to the countryside to suffer, so she thought that she must find a relationship no matter what, so that Li Zhenzhu could have a way out without going to the countryside.

But the situation is not good now, and there are still people who have been watching her house, waiting to find fault. If her father asks for help, he will fall into the trap. In that case, her whole family will be affected.

Moreover, although Li Zhenzhu's father loves her, he is also an upright person, and he firmly disagrees with the relationship, so her parents have been arguing about this matter, and they have been at a stalemate.

And Li Zhenzhu didn't want to cause family disharmony and put his family in danger because of himself, so before he graduated, he secretly signed up and took the initiative to go to the countryside to become an educated youth.

When her mother found out, it was already time to leave. Although she was sad, but seeing that she had signed up and couldn't change it, she had to pack up some things in a hurry and let her go to the countryside.

And because her father's old leader had a feud with another faction, Li Zhenzhu never took the initiative to talk about her family's affairs, because she was afraid that if she didn't do a good job, she would be reported and hurt her family.

Seeing that Li Zhenzhu was not interested, Xie Xiaonian quickly said: "I haven't read what you said, I must take a good look that day."

"Well, it's really pretty, and you'll definitely like it then." Li Zhenzhu said with a smile again.

After the 3 people went up the mountain, they continued to make candy. In the next few days, the 3 people seemed to be crazy and kept making candy.

In fact, Xie Xiaonian didn't have much idea about making candy, but she couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Li Zhenzhu and Liu Yifan. They kept making candy like they had never seen candy in eight lifetimes.

And on the day Xie Xiaonian went to his uncle's house, they got another set of tools and went up the mountain, thinking about making more.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaonian couldn't dispel their enthusiasm, so he could only accompany them.

Although they are busy, the results are remarkable. In the past few days, they made a total of nearly 30 catties of sugar.

In addition to keeping the 10 bundles of sugarcane and 2 bundles of seeds in the cave, the remaining sugarcane can make another 30 catties of sugar.

In fact, if there are tools like modern factories, 10 catties of sugar cane can produce a catty of sugar, but they are handmade after all, and only 30 catties of sugar cane can produce a catty of sugar, and the output is very low.

During lunch on the 16th, Xie Xiaonian said: "From tomorrow onwards, I will not go up the mountain with you, you two should be careful on the mountain, and after you have moved all the things on the mountain, you should also stay at home. Get ready for cat winter!"
