Transmigrated to the Sixties: Su Xia's Child-Rearing Life

[Transmigration + Portable Space + Child-Rearing + Retirement]

Modern white-collar worker Su Xia had the same dream for several consecutive days. A few days later, after acquiring a portable ...

Chapter 33 Coal Stove

Su Xia didn't know that the old house family was talking about her behind her back. Even if you knew, Su Xia would not care. Her original character was to live her own life as long as she was comfortable. She was also the same as before, but she had to control herself at all times during work, otherwise she would have been fired long ago.

After Su Xia came here, she lived more comfortably. The boss who earned money was not at home, and she had children, so she could live the way she wanted.

As for her parents' and husband's families, Yuan Bo didn't care, let alone Su Xia.

Su Xia prefers a give-and-take relationship, like the current one where they are neither too close nor too distant.

The second day, Su Xia slept in. Now she didn't have to do anything and could sleep as late as she wanted.

"Mom...Mom...are you going to get up? Niuniu is hungry."

Su Xia heard "Mom, I'm hungry" in her sleep and woke up suddenly. She looked left and right and found that she was still in her 60s.

I thought I had returned to the afterlife before I traveled through time.

I scratched my hair and it seemed that I was too tired during this period of time and fell into a daze after sleeping.

Su Xia looked down at the kid who was getting fatter and fatter. He must be 4 years old now, so she threw him to sleep in the next room.

So as not to disturb my sleep. "Your face is so chubby, and there's a dent when you pinch your hand. You're still hungry, and you're not even as fat as a pig."

As he spoke, he pinched his arms and pulled his cheeks with both hands.

Niao Niao was not angry. She twisted around and hugged her mother's neck and started to act coquettishly.

"Hehehe...Hehehehe...

Mom, what does a pig look like? Niu Niu has never seen this. Is she really not as fat as me? "

Su Xia looked at Niu Niu who was full of curiosity. It was time for this child to ask a hundred thousand questions.

But it's true, the food these two people eat is not enough to pay for the pigs. However, there is one person in the team who is very skinny and will get some pork in a few days.

"In a few days, we'll slaughter the pigs. I'll take you to see it, and then you'll know."

Then I went to make breakfast. The rice porridge was boiled until rice oil was produced. I made three buns, one for Niuniu and two for myself, with some pickled vegetables that Su Xia had pickled herself.

The two of them were very satisfied with the meal. While eating, Su Xia thought about what else she had not done. She had to find something to do, otherwise she would be bored!

Suddenly I remembered that I had always wanted to build a coal stove, but it was cold now, which was just right. This way, Niuniu could play in the living room during winter, and her bedroom was really the best.

"Niuniu, I'll take you to the old house to play later, okay? I'm going to the county town for a while." Su Xia discussed with Niuniu. It's getting cold now, and Daya and the others are staying in the house and seldom come out.

"Okay, Mom, I want to go too?" Niu Niu looked at her mother expectantly.

"Mom is going to buy something today. It's quite big, so I have to trouble the team's bullock cart to bring it back. I'll bring Niuniu with me next time. Is that ok?"

When Niu Niu heard this, she sensible stopped talking and told her mother that she wanted to take some candies with her.

The two of them were dressed, and Su Xia also wore a hat, scarf, and cotton gloves. These were original and a bit worn, but very low-key.

I haven’t knitted Niu Niu’s yet. I’ll get some wool to knit later.

Carrying Beiluo on his back, he took Niuniu to the old house.

"Mom, Niuniu, you take care of it first. I'm going to the county town. By the way, if you need anything, bring it over on the way."

Chen's mother was also curious. This was not Jianguo's wife who sent money. "It's cold, come back early." She immediately gave him 2 yuan, some salt and matches.

Su Xia took it and left.

Xia Lai Di saw her sister-in-law walking away with a basket on her back from the window, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.

When Su Xia arrived at the entrance of the village, the ox cart was already waiting, "Uncle Zhao, good morning!"

"Jianguo's wife is here, along with two other people. They'll leave as soon as they arrive. You get in the car and wait."

The coachman was an uncle of the Zhao family. He was the second child in the family, so he was called Zhao Laoer.

He was injured while fighting the Japanese invaders, lost an eye and had a limp in his leg. He never got married, so the only job he got was driving a bullock cart and feeding cattle.

Su Xia got in the car and waited.

It feels okay. It takes about an hour to get to the county town by oxcart, which is better than walking. Nowadays, coal stoves have to be crossed on open roads, and bicycles are not allowed.

Not long after I sat down, I saw two middle-aged ladies coming with baskets.

Su Xia nodded and greeted him.

When Zhao Laoer saw that everyone was gathered, he drove away.

Su Xia did not speak along the way. The two aunts were chatting animatedly. It seemed that they were planning to go to the county town to buy some cloth to make clothes for their son's wedding.

When they arrived at the county town, Su Xia asked what time the ox cart would leave and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they looked around but there was nothing to buy. Chen's mother bought salt and matches, and then bought two canned food for himself. The canned oranges were sour and sweet and delicious.

After looking around and not seeing any coal stoves, I went back to the black market I had been to last time.

Hutong paid 5 cents, covered his face with a scarf, and went to find the brother who exchanged the tickets.

It was almost past midnight and more people were coming to the black market. Su Xia took some time to get to the ticket seller.

When the eldest brother saw Su Xia, his eyes lit up. This was his God of Wealth. He had earned 50 yuan from the last few tickets.

"Big sister, you're here. There are many varieties this time. Take a look and see what you want to order." Then he opened the bag on his back a little.

Su Xia saw that there were many types, so she picked out 20 industrial coupons, cigarette coupons, and wine coupons.

Then he took out the bicycle ticket, watch ticket, sewing machine ticket from his bag...

When the eldest brother saw the ticket, he was so excited that he quickly calculated the money and gave it to Su Xia. "Big sister, next time you have something like this, remember me."

Su Xia agreed and left.

Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange all my cigarettes and alcohol. The alcohol I exchanged was all Maotai, which would be very valuable in the future.

Su Xia plans to stock up when she has time, and after the reform and opening up, she will open her own supermarket, which will give her something to do without being tiring.

Su Xia found an alley opposite the ox cart with a smile on her face, walked in for a while, and seeing that there was no one, she put the cigarettes and alcohol in the space.

Then take out the coal stove and a bag of coal.

I went to find Uncle Zhao.

"Uncle Zhao, I bought a coal stove and they put it in the alley for me."

When Zhao Laoer heard this, he drove the ox cart over and helped load the things onto it.

Su Xia also got in the car and waited, while taking out a pack of Daqianmen from her backpack, which was actually in her space, and gave it to Zhao Laoer.

Zhao Laoer was so excited that a flower seemed to bloom in his eyes.

Just help to carry things, and there will be such a good thing, which can help build a country.

After waiting for a while, two aunties came over chatting and laughing. It seemed that they had bought what they liked.

The ox cart also slowly moved back.

One of the ladies looked at Su Xia, and was also curious about what the notoriously spendthrift daughter-in-law in the village had squandered this time.

"Meet my wife, what did you buy? You need to put it in a sack."

"Nothing much, just a coal stove and a bag of coal that was delivered."

"What?" The two ladies' pupils dilated, with a look of astonishment that they had never expected.

It was not until they arrived in the village that the two seemed to accept that this could be the first coal stove in the village.

Then they went home, prepared to take a break, and then came out to chat with their good sisters.

Zhao Laoer sent Su Xia home, then helped move the coal stove to the ground before returning to his own home.

Su Xia installed the stove barrel herself along the reserved hole on the upper right side of the living room door, fixed the chimney, and plastered the edges. She tried it and found it was good only when it didn't smoke.

Su Xia feels a great sense of accomplishment as she looks at her home which is becoming more and more comfortable!
