No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 3 The Crying Radish

Wu Changhe looked at Wu Xiaozheng in surprise.

How dare you promise so readily?
Wu Xiaozheng's promise was a bit beyond Wu Changhe's expectation.In his impression, because of his son and daughter-in-law, when his grandson comes home these days, he basically just keeps himself stuck in the hut and never goes out at all.

This will suffocate people!

So Wu Changhe discussed with his wife, asked her to enlighten his grandson, let him go out for a walk, and then he asked Wu Xiaozheng to accompany him to the city to sell radishes. He didn't expect Wu Xiaozheng to agree.

"Xiaozheng, then let's go early."

As soon as Wu Xiaozheng put down the bowl, Wu Changhe immediately stood up and prepared to leave, he was afraid that Wu Xiaozheng would go back on his word.

Wu Xiaozheng will naturally not regret it, because he is now a reborn person.

But Wu Xiaozheng remembered that in his previous life, he had indeed been bored at home for a whole winter vacation, and his whole person seemed to have changed completely. The reason for this was naturally because his parents were in prison.

Thinking about it, it is a very embarrassing thing for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who has just started to understand to suddenly become the son of a pair of reform-through-labor prisoners, and it is normal for him to be unable to accept it for a while.

Wu Xiaozheng remembered that at this time in his previous life, he began to become autistic and taciturn, and this condition lasted for a long time before it eased.

Fortunately, I was reborn, so I no longer need to close myself.

Wu Xiaozheng was a little puzzled, why did grandpa go to the city to sell radishes?Aren't these radishes usually collected by vegetable vendors?
Because of self-isolation before, Wu Xiaozheng is still a little confused about the situation at home. He doesn't know that the pressure on his grandparents is quite heavy now.

The economic conditions of the Wu family were very mediocre. After Wu Xiaozheng’s parents had an accident, Wu Changhe begged his grandpa to sue his grandma for leaving some unreliable relationships in order to allow them to be sentenced as lightly as possible. For this reason, he spent all his family’s savings. Said, still owed a butt of debt.

Not only that, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon.After the Chinese New Year is over, Wu Xiaozheng and his sister have to pay their tuition fees, and they also need money to buy seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers. Wu Changhe still doesn't know where to get the money, and he is worried. Going to the city to sell radishes is also a last resort.

Cheap vegetables hurt farmers.

The Wu family is located in Xiangshui Village, Chengguan Town. Five or six kilometers to the west is the county seat, and more than 20 kilometers to the east is the area. Due to its important geographical location and superior water conservancy conditions, the entire Chengguan Town They are all designated as regional vegetable production bases.

This was originally a good thing for the villagers in Xiangshui Village, because the villagers had a relatively stable income.

But the 91 years that just passed were a bit special.

From the perspective of the farmers, the past year was considered to be a good one, with a bumper harvest of grain and vegetables, but this turned out to be a bad thing for the villagers in Chengguan Town.

The negative effect brought about by the bumper harvest is the oversupply and unsalable agricultural products.

Take Xiangshui Village as an example.

In this era when greenhouse vegetables were not popularized, in winter, all the farmers’ vegetable fields were planted with seasonal vegetables such as radishes, Chinese cabbage, and carrots.But because of the bumper harvest, radishes that could sell for two to three cents a catty in previous years are now sold for ten cents per catty, and it is very likely that they will not even be able to recover the cost.

Now it is the twelfth lunar month of the lunar calendar, and it is about to snow and freeze. Other vegetables can take a while, but after the radish is frozen by the ice and snow, it will soon be hollow, and after being hollow, it will either rot in the ground , or become fodder for pigs.

Wu Changhe was already worried about money, but now that the vegetables in the field could not be sold, he was even more worried. As a last resort, he could only travel more than ten miles every day to try his luck in the county town with some radishes, and see if he could Can't sell it back for a few bucks.

After tidying up a bit, the grandpa and grandson pulled a tricycle of radishes, along with some onions and garlic, and prepared to rush to the county seat.

"Grandpa, let me ride." Wu Xiaozheng took the initiative.

Hearing this, Wu Changhe was moved, thinking that this kid has finally become sensible and considerate to the elderly.

But he glanced at Wu Xiaozheng again, and said: "Forget it, look at your small arms and legs, let's talk about it when you grow up."

Wu Xiaozheng glanced at himself, suddenly a little discouraged.

Compared with the strong self in later generations, now my body is developing, and it does look a bit thin, and the most important thing is the lack of exercise.

"Sit up!"

Following Wu Changhe's shout, Wu Xiaozheng gave up his plan to compete for the right to drive the tricycle, and obediently sat sideways on the side rail of the tricycle.

Wu Changhe pedaled his tricycle unhurriedly and walked towards the county seat.

For Wu Changhe, who is in his 50s, his body is still strong due to years of hard work. As long as his grandchildren are obedient, he can still help them for a few years even if the sky falls. The only thing he is worried about now is that he does not know Can this cart of radishes be sold today, and how much money can it be sold for?

Wu Xiaozheng, who was sitting on the tricycle, was also lost in thought.

He is still a little confused now.

Because of the drunken leap, he returned to [-] inexplicably, and it was difficult for him to adapt for a while.

Now that he was reborn, how should he live his life?Wu Xiaozheng began to seriously consider this issue.

"If life could be restarted, I would definitely not live like this scum!" Wu Xiaozheng remembered the words he had thought before he landed.

But the question is, how to live without being a scumbag?

After much deliberation, Wu Xiaozheng shook his head helplessly.Because this is not an easy question to understand, and maybe many people may not be able to figure it out if they think about it for a lifetime.

Maybe what I have to do is to take good care of the present.

Wu Xiaozheng turned his attention to the radishes on the tricycle.

If he remembered correctly, there was a large vegetable wholesale market in Chengguan Town. When the harvest season came, wholesalers would come to collect the vegetables in the field, and then package them and send them to various vegetable markets in the area.

Now these radishes need to be brought to the county town to sell these radishes, which can only explain one problem, that is, these radishes are unsalable.

This is a very serious problem.

Wu Xiaozheng's later generations have experienced this kind of thing that cheap vegetables hurt farmers.He knew that if the farmers worked hard for more than half a year, if they couldn't even get their money back, there would be no place to cry.

Maybe grandpa can't even cry when he looks at these radishes!

Thinking about it, Wu Xiaozheng thought of a more serious problem, that is, after his parents had an accident, the heavy burden on the family... Can the slightly aging bodies of grandparents bear it?
Wu Xiaozheng suddenly realized, he understood how he should grasp the present.

He had to fight against the family first.
