Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children Chapter 169

  Chapter 169 Radio

  December 29th, 1978, the 30th day of the winter month of the lunar calendar.

  Early in the morning, Xu Shiyan went to Songjianghe, found Guo Shouye, and asked him to help find two large trucks.

   Then Xu Shiyan led the car back to the big house, where Xu Shixian and others began to toss into the car.

  Furniture and luggage, pots and pans, all kinds of household items, rations, as well as firewood, wood, dismantled warehouses, etc., were filled with two large trucks and pulled directly to Donggang.

  Donggang side, Yu Shouguang, Zhou Changhe got the news and brought many people over to help.

   Except for the furniture and luggage moved into the house, everything else was gathered and stacked in the yard.

   These are not needed for the time being, and they will have to be removed when the house is built in the next year.

   After working for a long time, they finally settled down. The Xu family cooked a lot of dishes, and the helpers were invited to drink.

  At the wine table, Xu Shiyan mentioned that Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming wanted to move to Donggang.

  Yu Shouguang nodded without saying a word, and told Zhao Jianshe and Yang Mingchun that they can move here anytime, as long as they move their hukou, they will be settled here.

   To the delight of Yang Chunming and his wife, they toasted several glasses of wine to Yu Shouguang, saying that they would go back and prepare for the preparations, and they would move here before the beginning of spring.

  The Xu family's old couple officially settled in the Second Brigade of Donggang Commune.

  However, they did not have the same account with Xu Shiyan, but a separate account.

  The old couple took a fancy to the house of Xu Shixian in their previous life. It was a large open space in front of the martyr's tomb, not far from the side of the road.

   There is a road away from Xu Shiyan's family, so it will be convenient for each other to take care of each other in the future.

  Xu Shiyan had already guessed that his parents would be able to look at the land, so he went to the team to go through the formalities and paid for the property.

   After the beginning of spring, start to prepare materials and build a house.

   "Xiao Xu, there is such a big open space at the west end of your house, why don't you build a house for your parents there?

  Being close, there is no need to spend extra money on building a house. "The cadres of the brigade couldn't understand what Xu Shiyan was thinking, so they couldn't hold back and asked.

  Of course, this is also the doubt in the hearts of many people.

  In these days, one house is all you need to live in, and there are many families who live in three rooms. Why do you need so many houses? No fire?

   "My parents are still young, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister in the family who are not married. It would be shameful to live with me.

   It's better to live in a single family. I'm close and take care of me. "

  Xu Shiyan didn't take it seriously, and explained with a smile.

   "Yes, yes, I think Xiao Xu handled this matter quite openly.

  伱 said that he was neither the eldest son nor the youngest son, and the third child in the middle. Where to count, the old man should not live with him.

   Now that he has taken the old man over to take care of him nearby, he is already fine.

  Anyway, Lao Xutou is not very old, and he can still work for a few years. After a few years, he can no longer work, and his five sons will take care of him.

  Why can't Xiao Xu be alone, right? "Yu Shouguang stood up to Xu Shiyan, helping Xu Shiyan speak everywhere.

   Just like that, the household registration of the old couple of the Xu family was settled, and the team was also allocated a private plot, which is next to the private plot of Xu Shiyan's family, which is convenient for management.

  The procedures for the homestead have also been completed, and we just need to wait for the spring to prepare to build a house.

  For the time being, they can only live in Xu Shiyan's house, and they just spend a new year together.

  Finally the house was settled properly, Xu Shiyan borrowed the brigade's horse sledge, and went up the mountain to pull down the meat and all kinds of mountain products stored on the mountain.

  Throw the prickly pear into the barn, wait for the spring to catch two pigs, and feed them together with pigweed, so that in winter, at least one pig can be killed for the New Year.

  Xu Shiyan did a lot of pulling in autumn, and the pine nuts alone weighed three to four hundred catties.

  Reserved food from home and distribution to relatives and friends, and sent the rest to the purchase station to sell. Even pine nuts and walnuts were sold for a total of 120 yuan.

  After that, Xu Shiyan went to Fusong again and sold the hides, bear bile, etc.

  The number of furs this year has increased a lot compared to last year, especially the mink skins, which have almost doubled. Two mink skins sold for more than 400 yuan.

  Add a copper gut, as well as raccoon dogs, otters, badgers, squirrels, etc., and they were sold for more than 2,000 yuan.

  Xu Shiyan left the buying station, went straight to the store, and bought a radio.

   Now, three turns and one sound, it is considered complete.

   "Father, Mom, what did I buy?" Xu Shiyan entered the door with the box in his arms, happily letting his family guess.

   As a result, when I entered the door, I found that dumplings were being made at home.

   "Why are you making dumplings? Little girl, you didn't go to work today? Or did you get off work early?"

   "Third brother, are you being confused, today is the Gregorian calendar year."

  Xu Shiqin laughed as soon as she heard it, and she could see that her third brother was so busy these days that he was dizzy and forgot about the Gregorian calendar year.

  Xu Shiyan was stunned when he heard it, and turned to look at the Gregorian calendar board on the wall. No, there are new ones on them, so the big "1" is on it.

   "Oh, I was really busy and fooled, and I even forgot the important event of the Gregorian calendar year.

  Well, I bought a radio, let's put it in the east room, and I'll adjust the frequency later, so I can listen to the news at night. "

  Xu Shiyan quickly put the box on the top of the kang, took the radio out of it, and put it on top of the box.

  The box in his house was half-opened, and the radio was placed on it just right, so there was no delay in opening the box.

   "Radio? Oh my god, how dare you buy it, and that brings the radio back?"

  Xu Chenghou, who was coaxing his grandson to play at the other end, took a look, and hurriedly hugged his grandson and moved closer to him, looking over him happily.

   "This one is different from the one I saw in Daying Commune before."

  The big house has no electricity, let alone a radio, not even a big speaker.

  The population is small, if there is something wrong, the team department can yell out, and most people can hear it.

   When I was in Daying, the Daying Commune built an earthen power station in the upper reaches of the Tang River, which could generate electricity to meet the needs of the commune.

  There is a radio in the commune, through the loudspeaker, it broadcasts news to the commune members all day long.

   "Dad, what you said was ten years ago, when was that?

  Nowadays there are many brands of radios, and it is normal to have different shells. "

  Xu Shiyan smiled, pulled the wire out from the back of the radio, and plugged it into the socket.

  Then twist the switch, adjust the frequency band, after a burst of buzzing, finally heard the sound, it is news from the local station.

  There aren't many good programs on the radio these days, except for the news, it's just model plays and storytelling, and it won't be until a few more years.

  By that time, it was called a deserted place. Every day when the storytelling was broadcast, there was no one outside, and everyone was listening to storytelling at home.

   "Wait a few more years, we should have a TV here, and then I will find a way to get a TV ticket. Let's move a TV back and let you watch it."

  In his previous life, the old man didn't watch TV until he left.

  I hope that in this life, the old man will be in better health, live a long and healthy life, and be able to see and enjoy everything.

   "TV? What TV? Anyone else?"

  Xu Chenghou was a little confused. He didn't understand what his son was talking about.

   "No, it would be nice to have a radio like this."
