Chapter 238 Profitable Merchant Edison(1/2)
The countryside is a paradise for jelly.
She ran over the room excitedly, looking and touching, everything in the room was so strange.
The brother sat on the kang and was interrogated and teased by a group of relatives, and she began to study the decorations in the whole room.
The stove, old furniture, pendulum clocks hanging on the walls, and the foot-style 70s sewing machine are really fresh for jelly.
Especially the "faucet" in the kitchen, it will only take a few creaking times before water can be released. It's amazing!
The second uncle teased her and said, "Xiaoshu, is this fun?"
"It's fun!"
Jelly stretched out her little arms, raised her feet slightly, and grabbed the handle with her two small hands and pulled it up hard. When she saw the water splashing into the water tank, Jelly let out a series of happy laughter.
There were many people around me. Half of them were good letters to see the cultural idols of the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and half were to see the cute little jelly. At this time, they were completely transformed by this cute baby.
"Look at this little girl, she's so pretty and cute!"
"How did you give birth? It's amazing!"
"Juanzi and his son-in-law have been doing this for the rest of their lives!"
"This girl doesn't recognize her at all, she's so lively."
...
Recognize your child? Xiao Jelly has a star aura since she was born. She always loves her everywhere. If you want to recognise your child, no one will give her this opportunity.
Just when my second uncle was not careful, Xiao Jelly turned around and pushed the door and ran into the yard, then ran around, lying on the iron gate of the pigpen and the sow inside stared at the big eyes, and then went to the chicken stand to see the magical creature with a cockscomb.
She had never seen these things before, and she didn't even see them in the zoo. She had seen them in the picture, and this time she finally saw them alive.
"Big nose pig!"
"Hey, pig."
"Can eat meat!"
"Hey, I can eat meat, and when I leave, let your dad take it away!"
...
"Chicken! Uncle, chicken!"
"This is ringing, it can be used as an alarm clock. I will use it as an alarm clock for you to use it as an alarm clock!"
"For my brother, he stays in bed!"
...
My second uncle didn't pay attention, and Jelly suddenly turned around and ran towards a group of big geese not far away, and then chased the big geese and ran all over the yard with "oh oh oh".
My second uncle was frightened at that time, ran over several big steps, picked up the jelly, wiped his sweat and said, "This thing bites people, we can't afford to offend them, let's stew it tonight!"
The uncle drove out and laughed, "The big goose is indeed very fierce. Today, it probably responded to the old saying. He is afraid of being arrogant, and he is afraid of being stunned. Xiaoshu is too desperate. The second brother, look at it, don't let the chicken, duck, geese bite the child."
The second uncle nodded, picked up the jelly and said, "Uncle, take you to the warehouse to see, there is a treasure!"
When he opened the door of the warehouse, his second uncle walked in with jelly in his arms, and Li Fan followed him in, looking at what old things were there, and avoiding the gossip of his relatives.
Li Fan looked at the old things in the warehouse, and a stream of childhood memories came.
"Xiaofan, do you know what this is? Xiaoshu must not know." My second uncle pointed to a "container" with a very "steep" inner wall like a basin, and there are "ears" on each side of the "container".
"It's a brazier!"
"Yo, I know it!"
Li Fan said: "When I was poor, every family had a dirt brazier. In winter, it was filled with corn bars. After lit, it could keep warm and roast food. Baked bean buns and potatoes. When I was about 5 years old, I never saw anyone using this thing. It was too revealing my age. But this thing has been passed down for 2,000 years!"
Jelly moved the thick "basin" hard, but it didn't move at all. She looked at her brother and said, "Brother, take it home to bake things."
Li Fan smiled and said, "Move away when you leave!"
My uncle took out a big cloth bag, shook the dust, opened the rope on it, and showed the items inside to Li Fan, "Do you recognize this? I played with your uncle when I was a child."
Li Fan almost burst into tears when he saw this. He was so familiar and friendly that he was filled with slap and slap.
Paji, different names and pronunciations are also different in different places. There is a place called piaji, which is a children's toy with various patterns printed on circular cardboard. It is an "ancient game" that emerged around the 1980s.
Some people will "artistic processing" and "reform privately". Applying wax oil on it can make a "wax plate", applying oil on it, and baking it with a candle can make it a "oil plate". Some people collect beer bottle caps and smash the bottle caps flat to become a round "iron plate"!
Needless to say, Liuliu can't be transformed even with the glass ball. What's completely different from the pleasure of fanpaji is that if Liuliu ejected herself can break the target Liuliu, that kind of pleasure will be cool!
My uncle sighed, "Now there are no children playing with them. Now the children are all mobile phones, computers, and tablets. They are no longer playing with these old things."
I was flirting with wax tables, oil lamps, calendars, villain books, newspapers of the year and month, black and white TVs, etc. These "antiques" were printed one by one into Li Fan's eyes!
Especially the black and white TV, the broadcasting knob on it has been twisted long ago, and the extended antenna is still very curved. Needless to say, it is possible that when I was a child, I thought the TV was not clear and hung up meat or wet towels.
After Li Fan unfolded the calendar, he was immediately surprised. Is this not caring about Yating's mother?
Gu Yating didn't even have this family. At that time, Gu's mother didn't think about treasureing the photos and calendars she took, but now it's a big regret.
The beauty of the calendar is indeed not a waste of time. Every photo on the entire calendar is charming and graceful. She probably was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and now her daughter can take pictures of the calendar.
This calendar is full of swimsuit photos, which are very sexy and avant-garde. In that era of backwardness, many male compatriots were definitely a spiritual food for comfort.
"Second uncle, I'll take this away."
"Take it away, be filial to your mother-in-law."
Li Fan suddenly made a big blush.
My second uncle thought for a moment, "I'll go to Old Chen's house to get you a few more books. His house must have a lot of Chen goods. This bastard has been facing the calendar since he was a child... Well, that, I'll go to his house to take a look in the afternoon!"
"Uncle, I want to see Malaysia!" Jelly said happily.
"Malaysia? No, who raises horses in the countryside now? If you want to raise them, you will raise a BMW!"
Li Fan was shocked, "There are people in our village who have BMWs?"
"Our village is poor and cannot afford to support it. The next village is rich. Basically every family has a car. There are really two or three cars driving BMWs and Mercedes-Benz. Xiaoshu, my uncle shows you something good, let's go."
My uncle came to the window with the jelly in his arms and said, "This is called mimosa. If you touch its leaves, it will shyly close the leaves."
Jelly stretched out her finger curiously and touched it for a moment, but Mimosa didn't react at all, so she stared at her uncle with big black eyes.
The uncle frowned, "Huh? Try changing one, this mimosa may be thick-skinned!"
Li Fan was speechless when he heard this.
The next morning, a guest came to my grandma's house, and the village secretary, the village chief and others came in person.
The secretary was dressed in a decent manner, with a shiny linen suit and leather shoes, and even a tie. Perhaps it was because of "meeting" with the top scorer in the college entrance examination, so it must be grand.
The village chief is no less than that, with leather shoes, trousers, and white shirts. The only difference between it and the secretary is that he is not wearing a suit or tie.
This time they came to ask Li Fan to give a speech at the village middle school. Li Fan naturally refused, but he still couldn't resist their slap, so he had to get into their car and go to the village middle school.
There are basically very few junior high schools in the village. Children usually go to the town or county to study. The middle school I went to today also has a serious shortage of students. I heard from the village chief that there are 4 classes in the first grade of junior high school, 3 classes in the second grade of junior high school, and 1 class in the third grade of junior high school.
In the past, when it was at its peak, children from many nearby villages would attend this junior high school. At that time, there were thirteen or fourteen classes in the first grade of junior high school. Now the number of students has been reduced by about seven out of ten.
The car was driving on the road, and Li Fan dealt with the secretary and the village chief. The two of them introduced Li Fan to the current rural life in Jisen Province.
"The village in front is much better than ours. Every household has an indoor bathroom, shower, tap water. Anyway, when you pull the curtains, it's no different from the city."
Li Fan smiled and said, "That's good. Now there is money in the countryside and the expenses are still small. It's more money than the city people in a year, and they're resting in winter."
The secretary sighed, "Good days are coming, but there are no people left in the countryside. Children as old as you are now are basically rare. Otherwise, they will study outside or go to work in the city. There is no vitality in the village. They are all a group of middle-aged and elderly people who have no hope."
While everyone was chatting, the car drove into a middle school and their destination arrived.
As soon as he got off the car, a 20-year-old man ran over quickly, lowered his body and stretched out his hand to Li Fan, and said, "Xiaofan, long time no see."
The village chief said: "Do you still remember him? When you were young, you often made friends through martial arts."
Li Fan smiled and said, "Remember, Zhang Liang!"
"But this kid is not good at it. He got married at the age of 16. His children are all 4 years old. He plays and sluts with his children every day! He usually drives the bus. Look at Li Fan, and look at you again!"
Zhang Liang laughed: "Go to the playground quickly, everyone has already sat down."
Playground! This is the simplest playground Li Fan has ever seen. There is no plastic track, no standard basketball rack, and no football goal with nets. The entire playground is covered with a layer of coarse sand, and it is full of about 500 teachers and students.
Li Fan was led to the rostrum and sat down with the leaders.
Soon, a female teacher in her early 20s dressed up on the rostrum and said happily: "Dear village leaders, school leaders, teachers and classmates, Hello everyone, today we invited Li Fan, the top scorer of this year's college entrance examination, to give you an impromptu speech, everyone welcomes you with applause!"
Wow!
The applause was like a tide and it was so warm!
"So first, please invite Mr. Zhang Xianglong, the village party secretary of Hongmin Village, to deliver an important speech!"
More than 500 teachers and students on the playground reluctantly and symbolically clapped their hands.
...
"Then next, please invite the village chief Ge Liang to speak!"
The teachers and students were all frowning. They were just a normal speech. Why are you joining in the fun? I don’t know if you don’t like to listen to you?
