"Thank you, when you get to the county seat, I'll invite everyone to eat popsicles."
Tian Cheng said that he brought out the box, and while saying, Tian Yuying took out the cover roll and put it in the car, and wiped her sweat with a smile: "Okay, it looks like I haven't eaten popsicles." ”But to be honest, she did get a little hungry.In this era, there were few popsicles sold in the countryside, at this time there was no freezer or anything, the popsicle seller was a wooden box, lined with plastic sheeting and cotton, the popsicle was covered with a small quilt, and there was a lid on the top of the box, which was slightly larger than a fist.In such rudimentary conditions, the popsicles can stay for three or four hours at most, and there are few people in the countryside who buy this, so if they don't sell the popsicles, they will lose money.Naturally, no one does the money-losing business, and even if someone occasionally goes down to sell it, a popsicle will be sold for three cents, which is a penny more expensive than in the city, and then no one will buy it.It was five o'clock in the morning, because the weather was too hot, so they hurriedly moved their home early in the morning, so as not to be too poisonous in the middle of the day.At this time, there were not such good conditions as in later generations, and there was no place to find cardboard boxes when moving, so I could only use a bag of furoshiki and a basket and put it on the mule cart.As the saying goes, a broken home is worth a lot, and usually there seems to be nothing valuable at home, but when you move, you will find that those bits and pieces of things, all of them are useful, and they are reluctant to throw them away.When it was separated from Lao Tian's house, in addition to half a box of books, Song Xiuzhi only got a roll of bedding and a few bowls, and there were not even a few pieces of clothes.Fortunately, there was a lot of strength in the crowd, and in less than half an hour, everything inside and outside was moved to the cart, and there was also a smaller donkey cart for pulling wooden boxes for scorpions and mealworms.Yu Lanchuan and Tian Yutang worked together to carry a box, not because they couldn't move it alone, but because the scorpion was afraid of bumps, the two of them moved more smoothly.Because they were worried that the road would be bumpy and fall apart, Yu Lanchuan and Tian Ye also deliberately reinforced the box with iron wire, so that it could be strong, and even if it fell to the ground, it would not break.Eight large boxes were stacked next to each other on the donkey cart, seven or eight chickens were tied with wings and paws and placed behind the cart, and Tian Yutang sat in front of the cart: "This scorpion is expensive, I will drive this cart, Brother Chuanzi, you will drive the mule cart." ”To be honest, these scorpions are more expensive than all the things in the mule cart combined, and these small things with numb claws and claws will be the source of life for Song Xiuzhi's family in the future.Tian Meow Cat had already jumped on the mule cart and found a comfortable place to squat, Tian Ye carried Tian Xiaowu's cage, looked left and right, and couldn't find a suitable place to put it, Tian Yutang stretched out his hand to take it, and put it on the scorpion box: "Just here, let it dry and can't eat." ”Tian Xiaowu was almost angry, what kind of person is this, opened his beak and spit out a word: "Bad!"
”It has been learning to speak recently, but it is not learning very quickly, it is all jumping out word by word, but in this way, Tian Ye is also very satisfied, pointing at Xiao Wu and laughing loudly: "Brother Tangzi, Xiao Wu scolds you, it has learned to scold." ”Tian Yutang picked up the cage, made a gesture to throw it away, and asked with a smile: "Say it again?"
”Tian Xiaowu held back for a long time, and finally succumbed to his obscenity: "Okay!
”"Oh, is this an agreement to let me throw you?"
Tian Yutang circled the cage twice, and was about to throw it, but Tian Ye hurriedly came over and grabbed it: "Brother Tangzi, Xiao Wu is complimenting you." ”Tian Xiaowu was dizzy from being shaken, Xiao Yuan's eyes stared at Tian Yutang viciously, feeling that this person was even worse than the cat, it shook its fur, and a black feather fell down leisurely."
Look, it's all scared and hairy for Xiao Wu!"
Tian Ye held the cage in his arms distressedly: "My little black is timid, don't scare it." ”Over there, Yu Lanchuan had already sat on the wheel and shouted "Drive", and the big black mule immediately walked with a hundred times more energy.Tian Ye found an open space on the mule cart to sit, while Song Xiuzhi and Tian Cheng sat on the donkey cart here, guarding the scorpion box on one side, the dirt road was uneven, and they were worried that if the road was bumpy for a while, the box would be shaken down.It's still early, the sun hasn't risen yet, the eastern sky is faintly blue with duck eggs, and the early morning in August is actually very cool.Wang Weihong wiped her tears and waved her hand behind her: "Orange, you have time to come back, I will miss you." ”Tian Cheng also waved at her: "I will definitely come back, you study hard!"
”"She's up every day!"
Yin Jianshe answered, and the educated youths who helped move laughed for a while.The big black mule was very sensible, took care of the donkey cart behind him, and did not spread his hooves to run quickly, and the cart swayed on the dirt road in the country, and the dew on the blades of grass on the roadside glistened in the morning light.Song Xiuzhi was worried and happy, not only worried about moving to the county seat, in case she couldn't feed her family with scorpions alone, but also thinking that she was close to her mother's house, and she could often go back to see her parents.Tian Ye hugged the bird cage, two legs on the side of the car, that called a full of ambition, full of pride, he is the first child in the village to move to the county seat, and he also wants to go to the county primary school, with his grades, in the county must also be able to test the top three in the class.Yu Lanchuan drove the mule cart, and from time to time looked back at Tian Cheng on the donkey cart behind him, hating itchy, seeing the little girl smiling happily, showing a few fine white teeth, as if there was no sorrow at all, she left him so easily, couldn't she be happy?
Halfway through the words that day, Wang Weihong made fun of him, and he never found a chance to talk to Tian Cheng again, Yu Lanchuan still had a stomach to say, looking at the little girl leisurely at this time, squinting her eyes and looking up at the sky, she was really angry.This little girl, why is she so heartless.Tian Yutang didn't think that Tian Cheng was heartless, he was pretending to be in his heart, seeing Song Xiuzhi with his eyes closed, following the car staggering as if he was asleep, he whispered about Han Yongjun."
Orange, I heard that the second-rate son of Shimoda Village is miserable now, he can't stand the slightest fright, the child shouted behind him, he was so scared that he peed his pants, you say, did you scare him out of trouble in our Utamura?"
