Hang yourself at the beginning, empty the family and go to the countryside

The driver was still Xiao Yichen's third uncle.

The old man was also very handsome, smoking a cigarette and holding a whip.

Driving the carriage leisurely.

It was late autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the forest was full of colors.

In the midst of these colorful woods, a carriage slowly moved forward along the constantly repaired dirt road.

Even with regular repairs, the road is still in poor condition.

After all, it is made of earth, and it is easy to have ruts when it is run over by cars.

Especially when it rains.

So the carriage was also shaking.

However, no one cared.

Xiao Yichen and Su Ruobai sat together.

He Laoxi sat in one place.

There were also a few villagers who went to the commune together.

Today is the production team's rest time.

It doesn’t mean that everyone should take a rest, it just means that you can take a day off today.

You can go to work or not.

The production team's horse-drawn carriage could also take everyone to the commune.

No charge for round trip.

It can also be considered a welfare benefit.

Many people went to the commune today to buy this and that.

There are also agency stores in the village.

Most of them are necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

The people wish they could squeeze oil out of the money in their hands.

A penny must be broken into eight petals.

Apart from these things, they don't spend much money.

Therefore, other things are not selling well in the village’s agency stores.

Even some of the more expensive pastries in the agency store have been stored for a long time and are not fresh.

So, if they wanted to buy some cakes and candies as gifts, they still had to go to the commune or even the county.

The food there is fresh and varied.

When giving gifts, the purpose is to make them look good!

But it’s not easy to come here, the road is not close.

It also delays work.

So few people go there.

Some people go there just to look around and don't buy anything.

The excuse is: Go to the commune and gain some experience.

The road is quite long and it takes a long time to get there.

Everyone chatted about this and that, and the time was easily passed.

When some people heard that He Laoxi was going back to his hometown, they all became interested.

"Lao Xi, your hometown is Hai City? I've never heard you mention it before."

He smiled innocently at He Laoxi and touched the tilted hat on his head with his big, dark and rough hands.

The hat was dark blue with a brim.

It’s probably been around for some time.

It has been washed white.

In some places the fabric has worn away, revealing the warp and weft of the fabric.

It is also slightly white.

The brim of the hat was no longer smooth and was broken in the middle.

Even at the edges, the fabric covering the brim of the hat was so worn that the hard plastic supporting it was exposed.

The clothes on his body were also dark blue.

Also very old.

Elbows, knees, and other places have been patched up.

Even this is He Laoxi's relatively good clothes.

There is also a set of the best ones. Although they have faded due to washing, at least there are no patches.

He's not wearing any now.

His wife told him to change after getting off the train.

Otherwise, during these three days on the train, some people would be smoking and some would be eating.

Smoky.

When I get to Haishi, I won’t be able to wear it in person.

It's his first time going back after so many years, so he has to act decently.

Thinking of his wife's thoughtfulness, He Laoxi felt warm in his heart, but when he thought of the decision he had made, he felt guilty.

However, think about your own tasks and your own responsibilities.

He had no choice but to harden his heart.

At this moment, he still has to deal with these people.

Especially Xiao Yichen and his wife.

There are already thousands of mountains and rivers in my heart.

But on the surface he appears to be as honest and dutiful as ever.

He nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, I am embarrassed to say it."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're from a big city! It's so prestigious! If you had said it then, maybe your husband wouldn't have gotten into this situation."

Everyone greeted each other with laughter.

Make fun of me at will.

He Laoxi didn't know how he did it.

Even though her face was rough and dark, she could still see a hint of blush.

His honest and simple image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This is the impression that He Laoxi left on the people of Shangwan Village.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm so lucky that my parents took me in.

It's not uncommon to see hairy crabs in the sea market. I had no choice at that time. I was starving to death. I ate hairy crabs every day. There was nothing else.

That’s why I came here to escape the famine. Only here can I have a full meal.”

He Laoxi held the handbag tightly in her hand.

There are two big characters "Hai Shi" written on it.

The zipper is broken.

Aunt He sewed a few buttons on.

If you fasten it with buttons, it can still be used.

The material at the handle of the handbag is also old and broken.

Aunt He wrapped it with pasted fabric and sewed it up.

In short, the shadow of Aunt He can be seen everywhere in He Laoxi.

Su Ruobai was originally dazed. She had been feeling sleepy frequently recently.

At this moment, she was dozing off on Xiao Yichen's shoulder.

After hearing what He Laoxi said, he became more energetic.

Hairy crabs! ?

And eat it every day?!

Su Ruobai and He Laoxi are not very familiar with each other.

That is to say, I have seen it.

According to Aunt He's generation.

Both she and Xiao Yichen have to call He Laoxi uncle.

When Su Ruobai heard He Laoxi say that he was not happy eating hairy crabs every day, he asked, "Uncle Laoxi, isn't it good to eat hairy crabs every day?"

This requirement is too high.

She remembered that before the end of the world, hairy crabs were very expensive. How come they became cheap now that no one could eat enough?

He Laoxi heard Su Ruobai's question.

A hand as big as pine bark waved.

With an expression as if she was a child who had never seen the world, she said, "What's so good about it? Aren't you also from Hai City, kid?

Others haven’t heard of it, but you still don’t know it! ?

There's not much meat on the hairy crab, so what's the point of eating it? Besides, it doesn't have any oil or water at all, so it tastes fishy no matter how you cook it. It's not tasty."

After being reminded by him, Su Ruobai's slow brain finally started to work.

What He Laoxi said seems to be correct.

It's like this all over the country now. When buying meat, people prefer fatty meat.

Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used to refine oil.

Some families are frugal.

The oil extracted from two kilograms of fat can last for a year.

If the child was ignorant, we would buy lean meat.

Parents are going to be angry.

One is that there is no oil or water.

Another thing is that there are not many ways to store it now.

Except for air-dried and pickled ones, the taste is average and not as good as fresh meat.

Just eat it as soon as possible.

So, no matter how you calculate it, it is not as cost-effective as fat.

By the same token, the crabs are all lean meat and not much oil.

People nowadays don’t like to eat much.

Therefore, the prices of seafood are not high.

Su Ruobai nodded: "Uncle Lao Xi, you are right, but I think it is delicious."

She hadn't eaten since she arrived. This time, there was an extra sea in her space, and she had to fill it with food.

She wants to raise all kinds of seafood.

Eat enough later.

This is also the reason why she agreed to Xiao Yichen to go back to Hai City.

Otherwise, she would not be willing to go back.

Xiao Yichen's eyes were gloomy.

Looking at the honest, simple and sincere He Laoxi in front of him.

A flash of fear passed through my heart.

This person is so good at pretending.

No wonder it hasn't been discovered for so many years.

Even his third grandfather didn't notice anything unusual.

This guy is definitely a master.

I just don’t know whether Aunt He knows it in her heart.

Aunt He, who was harvesting in the yard, definitely didn't know about this!

Basically, nothing in this yard grows in this season.

We need to clean up all these things.

Those eggplant buttons, peppers, etc. are all edible, but they don’t taste very good.

The remaining straw was dried and used as firewood.

It can also save some firewood.

Wait until all these are done.

Aunt He held a bundle and said to her grandson, "Look after your sister! Grandma is going out for a while."

Just went out.

Never imagined.

There were two people following behind him.
