Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 18

Ma Tao, Shao Han and the others have been friends since they were young, and they were also known as a handsome foursome in school back then.In terms of appearance, the four of them have their own characteristics. Shen Jianxin is the tallest, Li Yongming has the best figure, Shao Han is the most handsome, and Ma Tao has the brightest smile.

If he doesn't stand with the other three, Ma Tao can be regarded as a handsome guy. He is not short, his skin is not dark, and his appearance is not bad. It was abruptly set off as a short and fat boy... Don't mention how aggrieved he was in his heart!

But today, Zhang Xiuqing was not fascinated by the appearance of those three guys like other girls were.She is kind to herself, she is not fake to them, she is not even willing to tell them her name, only she is favored by her, this shows that she is not the kind of hypocritical girl who pays attention to external beauty, and also shows that she is the most beautiful inside, Ma Tao There is a feeling of high mountains and flowing water meeting bosom friends.

God knows how frustrated he has been these years. At this moment, the excitement in Ma Tao's heart is simply indescribable...

Zhang Xiuqing pursed her lips and smiled. Originally, she didn't want to tell Ma Tao her name. The reason why she changed her mind was that the Prince Charming in her previous life was too stupid, and even Zhang Xiuqing was too embarrassed to bully him again.

Looking at the good brother who was so energetic and wished to float when he walked, Shao Han's heart immediately became alert. Although this girl was born in a rural area, she has more eyes than the people in the city. Ten Ma Taos are not her opponents. After being sold by her, she had to count the money for her.Ma Tao's mind is simple, he doesn't know the darkness of human nature, he has to watch it, if she dares to harbor ill intentions, don't blame him for being rude.

Zhang Xiuqing was sensitive to Shao Han's hostility, and she couldn't help but feel a little baffled, thinking that I just said a few words to Ma Tao, you are so nervous, and those who don't know think this is your son.

Zhang Xiuqing gave Shao Han a hard look, but then she remembered that this young man had no children, no relatives, and no friends in his previous life. Apart from being richer than herself, he was not much better in other aspects. It's called the feeling of "the same people who have fallen in the end of the world, why meet each other before".

Shao Han's eyes were always sharp, and he confirmed that he was not mistaken. Zhang Xiuqing probably knew him a long time ago, and looking at her eyes, he obviously knew a lot about the mess in his family.On the way back, he racked his brains to recall the past, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a time when he and Zhang Xiuqing had an intersection.

Shao Han was very confused. After walking for a while, he couldn't help but stand still. When he turned his head, he only saw a beautiful figure, wearing a plain shirt and braided braids, closely following behind his father, facing him. Chaoyang, stepping on the dew, the footsteps are light, like a butterfly.

I don't know if it was telepathy or what happened, Zhang Xiuqing turned her head at this moment, her eyes met, the two were startled, and the next second, Ma Tao also turned around, smiling and waving to Zhang Xiuqing.Zhang Xiuqing looked away from Shao Han, and waved to Ma Tao with a smile.

Ma Tao smiled, but Shao Han's face sank, he took Ma Tao and strode away, and never looked back.

The smile on Zhang Xiuqing's face suddenly sank, and she began to reflect on her words and deeds today, but after much deliberation, she couldn't figure out where she had offended Shao Han.She said to herself in her heart: "We don't understand the world of teenagers. If I have time to think about this, I might as well think more about how to get rich quickly... If you get along, you get together, if you don't, you get separated. There is no need to talk to someone my own age." If you are a serious boy, just treat it as an adult and forget about the life of a villain..."

Some people are depressed and some people are happy. Ma Tao obviously belongs to the latter. He is in a good mood today, and he can see everything pleasing to the eye. While walking, he chatted with Shen Jianxin and Li Yongming with great interest.

Shao Han has always been taciturn, and no one expected him to speak, so naturally no one noticed anything strange about him.It wasn't until many years later that Shao Han realized that when a man's eyes are unknowingly attracted to a woman, when a man inadvertently keeps a woman in his heart, his fate begins...

Zhang Lingen walked in the front carrying two bags, Zhang Xiuqing walked in the middle, and Zhang Xiuhong walked in the end. The group of three returned to the arch bridge. Shen Heying had been waiting for him a long time ago: "You two dead monsters, where did you go? I haven't come back for so long, I don't know what we have to worry about... Hey, what are these two snakeskin bags? Are they all yellow weasels?"

Zhang Xiuhong pointed to one of the snakeskin bags and said, "This bag contains weeds..." After speaking, she pointed to the other snakeskin bag: "That bag contains snakes."

Shen Heying stepped forward quickly, took the bag from Zhang Lingen, carried the weight, and immediately beamed with joy: "It's quite heavy, and it's estimated to weigh twenty catties in total. Even if it costs one yuan per catty, it can be sold for 20 yuan. ...Great, from now on, the two of us will be responsible for catching fish, and the two of you will be responsible for catching snakes and yellow weasels. We will be busy with the rest of the day, and all those debts will be paid off..."

Before Shen Heying finished speaking, Zhang Lingen interrupted her: "How dare you let them do such a dangerous thing? I don't agree! In the future, the two of us will be responsible for catching fish, and the two of them will be responsible for selling fish. Those debts, if this year It's not over yet, I'll pay it back next year, as long as I don't die, there will always be a time to pay it off..."

As if a scoop of cold water had been poured on her face, the smile on Shen Heying's face froze immediately, and the anger in her heart was instantly ignited, she shouted: "Zhang Lingen, what do you mean? How dare I let them do such a dangerous thing? It's like Xiuqing and Xiuhong are not my own, I am their stepmother. I have this kind of thinking, is it because of this family, because of these debts? Xiuqing is already married this year, and in two years she will reach the marriageable age , but the family didn't prepare any dowry for her. How can she hold her head up when she marries into her in-law's house in the future? Why Xiuhong has been crying these days, don't think I don't know? If the family has money, I will stop her from letting her Are you going to study? And Xiaofeng, who was born in our house, has to eat and wear, if the family has money, will I treat him like this? Your words are too hurtful..."

"Mom, don't be angry, listen to me..." Zhang Xiuqing didn't care about how much debt the family owed, so she hurried forward and put her arms around Shen Heying's neck, telling her to focus on herself, and waited for her emotions to calm down a little. After calming down, I said, "I didn't catch these snakes with Xiuhong, but with the help of my former schoolmates. Their boys are bold and dare to catch anything. Xiuhong and I don't have the guts. Think about it, I'm even afraid of leeches, so asking me to catch snakes will kill me? Mom, you misunderstood Dad..."

Zhang Xiuhong glanced at her father comfortingly, and then said in a complaining tone: "Mom, your temper is too impatient, and you get angry before you understand the situation. Fortunately, Dad has a good temper and doesn't care about you. If you change Others have been in a hurry with you for a long time. You can't be like this in the future. If you have something to say, it's more important than anything else to live in harmony as a family..."

Shen Heying was baffled by the two daughters, she blushed a lot, wanted to apologize, but couldn't hold back her face, struggled for a long time, and finally said an ambiguous sentence: "I will never get angry with your dad again casually!" At the end, I added a sentence: "It's all because you didn't make it clear just now. If you make it clear, can I get angry?"

Zhang Xiuqing let go of Shen Heying's neck, and admitted her mistake with a smile: "It's...it's all my fault!"

How could Zhang Lingen let his elder daughter be wronged? He walked up to Shen Heying and apologized solemnly: "It's not Xiuqing's fault, it's all my fault!"

Shen Heying glared at her husband angrily: "Of course it's your fault!"

Zhang Xiuhong smiled and ran up the bridge, pointing to the river and shouting: "There are a lot of fishes on the silk net, Dad, go to the river and pull up the net! Mom, find two ropes and tie the snakeskin bag tightly." , and then go to help Dad..."

A family turmoil disappeared like this, and the Zhangs and his wife obeyed the command of their youngest daughter and got busy in an orderly manner.

The Zhang sisters looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and said nothing.

After a while, the sky was bright and the sun rose from the east. Zhang Lingen pulled the pull net out of the water, and Zhang Xiuqing took the long-handled net bag with both hands, and fished out all the fish in the net.

Zhang Xiuhong helped Shen Heying pack up the things, and then carried them one by one onto the wheelbarrow.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, the four members of Zhang’s family, who had been busy for most of the night, rushed to the farmer’s market in the county town sweating profusely and out of breath. According to the plan discussed on the way, all the snakes were wholesaled to a special group on the vegetable market. The old man who sells snakes, as for the price, it is naturally lower than the retail price.

Shen Heying originally disagreed desperately, but Zhang Xiu's green tongue and golden lotus convinced her.Shen Heying was illiterate, and it would be impossible to reason with her, so Zhang Xiuqing did a calculation for her, letting her know what "time is money", and also taught the other two people a lesson: "There are about Ten catties of snakes, the quantity is about fifteen, you can’t sell them all in one day, it will take at least two to three days, or four to five days, or even longer, to sell them all, and it only costs 15 yuan. But if you follow the Wholesale with 15% off, you can get ten yuan immediately. After you get the money, you take out one yuan to buy nylon nets, make nets and go to the river to fish snails. You can eat at least one hundred catties a day. Wholesale, you can get at least [-] yuan... Which one is cost-effective, which one is not, don't I need to say more?"
