Rebirth started in 1987

Chapter 10

After a while, Xiao Chunlan returned to the courtyard, but at this moment she couldn't see the slightest smile on her face. She pushed a homemade wheelchair into the courtyard.

Ye Huai'an turned his head and glanced into the yard, and saw a man with messy hair and greasy body on the wheelchair.

Looking at the man's appearance, he couldn't tell his age, but he was at least a lot older than Xiao Chunlan. His entire lower body seemed to be amputated, and his legs were gone right from the base of his thighs.

Seeing this scene, Ye Huai'an's eyes straightened, what's going on?
The second uncle seemed to have gotten used to this scene, and stood up to greet the man in the wheelchair.

The man in the wheelchair forced a smile and didn't say a word. It was a response, and then Xiao Chunlan pushed the wheelchair into the back room.

Ye Huai'an didn't dare to ask any more questions, as it was already dark outside, the second uncle went out alone to secure the raincloth on the tractor before returning to the yard.

After eating and washing hands and feet, it was dark now, so Xiao Chunlan arranged a room for the two of them to stay, the uncle and nephew lived in one room and a large single room.

From entering the store to going to sleep, Ye Huai'an didn't see any other guests coming in and out, maybe it was because of the approaching Chinese New Year, or maybe it was because the business of this hotel was bleak.

After Xiao Chunlan left, Ye Huai'an found an opportunity to ask his second uncle what was going on with Xiao Chunlan?

The second uncle sighed, didn't think much, and then told Xiao Chunlan's experience.

Xiao Chunlan's family has four older sisters, two younger brothers, and her seven siblings. For a rural village in the 60s and [-]s, it is normal to have seven or eight brothers and sisters in the family, but the difficulties in the family can also be imagined.

In Xiao Chunlan's life memory, in the first 20 years of her life, she hardly had a full meal. In order to have a full meal, she was willing to give up everything.

Xiao Chunlan only studied for two semesters before dropping out of school, and she and her second uncle were in the same period, so they can indeed be regarded as elementary school classmates.

At that time, her family planned to marry her to a young man in the next village, but due to special reasons, the matter failed. Later, through the introduction of an educated youth, in the early 70s, she married in a suburban city more than 300 miles away from home.

Although the other party has disabled legs and is 15 years older than her, Xiao Chunlan married without hesitation in order to have enough food and an urban household registration.

This is Xiao Chunlan's life experience, which is not complicated. Back then, Xiao Chunlan pulled her handicapped husband back to his hometown to visit her parents, but her parents slapped her twice in front of the whole village. Those two slaps made Xiao Chunlan I haven't been back to my hometown for ten years.

Although she has never been back to her hometown, Xiao Chunlan has always been in touch with her relatives, including her siblings. After all, having a relative in the city is considered an honor in this day and age.

Hearing Xiao Chunlan's story, Ye Huai'an couldn't calm down. He must have heard of this story in his previous life, but he didn't remember it at all. Maybe he had never met Xiao Chunlan in his previous life, so naturally he wouldn't leave any impression.
After talking about Xiao Chunlan, Ye Huai'an brought the topic to not revealing money.

He told his uncle one by one what he was worried about.

Ye Huai'an was worried that the second uncle would not understand, so he explained the truth inside and out, the second uncle was silent for a long time after listening, finally nodded, fell on the bed, and soon the snoring sounded.

Ye Huai'an didn't know whether the second uncle listened to it or not, anyway, he didn't care, after sitting on the tractor for a day, his whole body was sore and exhausted, he fell on the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep...!
At dawn the next day, Ye Huai'an was woken up by his second uncle. Looking at the different scenery outside, Ye Huai'an remembered where he was, and quickly got up.

Today is the time to see the real chapter. Whether you can make money and go home depends on today.

The two tidied up, and as soon as they went downstairs, they saw that the lights on the first floor had been turned on. Xiao Chunlan heard the movement in the kitchen, and hurried out to say hello.

"You're all up. I know you two are going to get up early. I cooked porridge and steamed some steamed buns. You guys wash up and you can eat right away!"

Seeing Xiao Chunlan's smiling and amorous appearance, Ye Huai'an couldn't help but look back at his second uncle, and sure enough, he saw a flash of bitterness on his second uncle's face, and couldn't help but sighed helplessly in his heart.

Later, Ye Huai'an found out that the man Xiao Chunlan's parents wanted to marry her to in the next village was his second uncle Zhang Lijun.

Really bloody, Ye Huai'an ate the steamed stuffed bun silently, watched Xiao Chunlan busy before and after, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Xiao Chunlan's behavior is like a green tea whore, but seeing the second uncle like this, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what else can I say!

I just don't know what her husband is thinking.

After leaving Xiao Chunlan's house, the second uncle drove the tractor, and the two went all the way to a vegetable market in the western suburbs of the city.

The reason why we go to the market is naturally the city people. Most of them have to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in the morning, especially today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. Whether they are urban or rural people, most of them have started to buy New Year’s goods, and the vegetable market Chicken, duck and fish are essential for Chinese New Year.

In the mid-to-late 80s, although there were speculative things, almost no one cares about the sale of rural non-staple food. No matter whether it is in the city or in the countryside, there are many small businesses.

When doing business these days, everyone is silently making a fortune, as long as you don't play too much, almost no one cares about you.

But if you are reselling materials that are in short supply in the country, it is a different matter. Of course, in this era, it has already become an unspoken rule to rely on relationships to sell notes, and it just depends on whether the relationships are not in place.

After the 90s, when the private economy was protected by law, it was the real fight between gods and gods, and people and ghosts wanted to show off.

Pulling the navel oranges to sell in the market, in fact, there is no technical content, Ye Huai'an did not intend to do any special marketing, the tractor rattled for 10 minutes, and finally stopped in front of a vegetable market.

It was just dawn at this time, and there were not many people buying vegetables, but the farmers who came to sell vegetables around the vegetable market had already occupied all the positions closest to the vegetable market.

Ye Huai'an glanced around, and simply asked his second uncle to drive the tractor to an intersection more than 100 meters away from the vegetable market.

This place is a little far from the vegetable market, and there is no one selling vegetables around. The second uncle was a little puzzled, but Ye Huai'an explained with a smile.

"Later, if there are too many people buying and it becomes crowded, the vegetable market will definitely drive people away. Why don't we take a seat here!"

The second uncle immediately gave Ye Huai'an a blank look, thinking about those beautiful things before the store opened.

However, the second uncle had never done business before, so he was still a little apprehensive about selling navel oranges this time, but Ye Huai'an fooled him, and followed his request to drive the tractor to this spacious road.

Ye Huai'an is not in a hurry, there are not many people buying vegetables at this time, so you can prepare first!
After the tractor was parked, the second uncle swiftly lifted off the rain cloth, revealing the fertilizer bags piled up in the truck bed, bulging, and even from the outside, it was impossible to see what was inside.

After the second uncle lifted the rain cloth, he stood in front of the car with a blank expression on his face. He didn't know what to do next, and he was a little at a loss.

Ye Huai'an smiled helplessly. The second uncle has been tossing around with a tractor all these years, and he has seen a lot, but facing this strange big city, the inferiority of the countryman can't hide it at all.

Ye Huai'an didn't make fun of it either, and started directing his second uncle to work.

First, he unloaded six bags of navel oranges from the car to make room for a space in the car, then poured out a few bags of navel oranges and put them in the car, specially stacking them in an oval shape. can see.

After finishing all this, Ye Huai'an took out the prepared old cardboard box, with a few large characters clearly written on it with a black brush!

"The sweetest navel orange in China costs one yuan and three catties. It doesn't cost money if it's not sweet!"

This is the brush that I borrowed from Xiao Chunlan's house this morning. At that time, he suddenly thought of this and decided to make such a sign.

There is no advertising law in this era, so I write about the sweetest navel orange in China purely to attract people.

As for the price of one yuan and three catties, is it considered expensive?

In fact, it’s really not that much. Throughout the 80s, there was no real fruit market in the whole country. As for the price of fruit, there has never been a certain number. There are a few cents a catty of home-grown oranges and dates, and there are more than a dozen yuan. A pound of tropical fruit lychee.

Because in this era, the storage conditions are insufficient, and fruits are more expensive than ordinary vegetables. As for out-of-season fruits, they are still a rarity in this era.

Many elderly people in inland rural areas have never seen tropical fruits such as bananas in their entire lives, let alone eaten them. They are usually in-season fruits, and they eat whatever fruits are locally produced.

As for the people in the city, fruit is actually a commodity in short supply, and there are only a few kinds of fruit they can eat all year round.

Most of their fruit consumption is carried by some villagers in the nearby villages, carrying poles and selling some melons and fruits grown by themselves in season.

As for the price, there is no set number, most of them are one or two cents, and sometimes they are sold for a few cents per catty during the season, and there are even those who don’t need money and directly ask for food. As for some rare fruits, in this era really expensive.

Apples, a fruit that is durable to storage, and the most common fruit in the country, can be sold for one yuan and two catties in this era.

So one yuan and three catties of navel oranges are really not expensive on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month!

The most important point is, in the few days before the Chinese New Year, who is full and has nothing to do, and drives a tractor to the vegetable market to sell fruits?

This is a purely unique business, it doesn't matter if it's not conspicuous!
