Chapter 56: Cloud Shadow in February 1996
Cloud Shadow in February 1996
Neighbors who buy things in my house all year round have long known the characteristics of my gadgets, just like the jewelry and ornaments sold in the past, all of which are not the same.
It's not that no one likes it after watching it, and wants to buy it elsewhere, but they have asked all the stores in the county, and they can't find anything similar even in the wholesale market in the city, and they can't help it.
The "counterfeit" gemstone jewelry that my family sold at the time is now "out of print" in the county. Since they can't be bought any more, some people who thought that the price of my jewelry was too low, too bright, and too fake to wear it now feel that wearing it is too low. Jewelry in my house is trendy.
Some people really like the design of my crystal ring, and they want to take it to a jewelry store to imitate it.
Unconsciously, the jewelry of the "Erdao Street canteen" has become a topic of conversation among middle-aged aunts and old ladies. Everyone has heard of who owns many rings and bracelets, and which bracelet is made of glass. Silk, which bracelet is inlaid with artificial rubies, which bracelet is imitation suet white jade, and what kind of pattern and carving are there?
The children who bought glass rings from the canteen at the beginning were also very proud. Rings were not allowed in school. Many of them tied the rings with ropes and hung them around their necks. They were crystal clear and dazzling.
The hardness of the canteen glass ring is very high, and scratches can be easily carved on ordinary glass. The ring is also pure and translucent without a trace of impurities. What is even better is that the small gemstones wrapped on the top of the ring are impeccable, if you don’t know that they are three At the selling price of dollars, there are people who say they are gemstone rings.
After my family did not sell jewelry and imitation gemstones, many people came to ask questions. Most of them had bought my jewelry, and they all liked the jewelry they already had. I can't do anything about selling jewelry.
The people who buy cheap jewelry in our commissary are the elderly and children, and the 20-something-year-old teenage girls in Zhenger Bajing High School seldom see the goods in our commissary. They look down on the county town and think that the county town Everything is soiled to the point of slag, and the things in the shopping malls in the city are the most foreign and the best.
Going to Shimen at the end of the month is something my parents helped prepare. Since they knew that I can go to the opposite world every month, they have been very concerned about my life, not only taking me to relatives with children to learn how to take care of children. Baby, also helped me to prepare all the things that I didn't think of or didn't bother to think about, and let me take them to the opposite side.
The things I brought across this month included anthracite coal, tomato sauce, tools and medicines for photographing, tables, chairs, benches, quilts, thick mattresses, sheets and covers, a mirror for each large, medium and small, and three large table lamps with AA batteries.
Anthracite is the idea of my parents. I used to bring ordinary coal. Because of the many impurities, there will be pungent smoke and a lot of carbon residue after burning. Even if I have super powers, it is very troublesome to clean up, and it is easy. It's not good for me and my child's health if there is a strange smell in the house. Now the anthracite burns without any smoke and dust. It is a white powder after burning. It is not only clean, but also has a higher heat. It is much better than burning wood and burning ordinary coal.
I can't help but be moved, because we don't have anthracite coal in our iron stove. I told my dad that I want to replace the coal burned at home. My dad agreed. After all, my family's monthly income is pretty good now. , there will be no burden to improve the quality of life.
Tomato sauce was made by my mother herself. She bought a lot of tomatoes and cooked them into sauce, and then poured them into glass bottles with a funnel and closed the bottle. After I brought them to the opposite world, it was equivalent to strong sterilization and disinfection. Twenty bottles of tomato sauce It's perfectly fine to store for a year or two. When I cook soup, I only need to add tomato sauce. It tastes good and nutritious, and the intake of vitamins in winter is guaranteed. My children and I will not have dry lips or chapped skin.
My dad also went to the city to buy all the things I needed for the darkroom on the opposite side. In fact, he also got a diesel generator, but I am not allowed to go there now. He plans to explore at home to get acquainted with it and teach me later. Only let me take me to the opposite world. After all, electricity is very dangerous, and it is not a joke.
Tables, chairs and benches were also the idea of my parents. They were very disdainful of the craftsmanship of the "primitives" in the opposite world, and they also objected to my need to make cold and ugly stone furniture at home. They bought me sturdy and beautiful tables, chairs and tables from the county furniture store. There are tablecloths and chairs with cushions to ensure that I and Wang Jerry can use them comfortably, without worrying about the wood thorns getting into the meat.
Thick mattresses and quilts can be regarded as the greatest treasures of this month. I used to lie directly on the hard slate heated kang, and put some hay on the skin to make a comfortable bed, but to be honest, it is as soft as a cloud. Compared to the new cotton quilts, the hay bunks are simply kennels.
I originally thought that there was nothing wrong with the straw bunks on the heated kang, and I even talked back to my parents, saying that there was no need to waste money. Now that I have a mattress and a quilt, I understand that having a quilt is great.
It's a pity that Fu and Ana can't enjoy the warm and soft bedding with me, because my parents heard that I was very opposed to sleeping with the dog all day long. They asked me to make another comfortable kennel for the dog, but don't sleep. When we got together, parasites were one aspect. I only had two sets of bed sheets and quilts, which were stained by the dog in a day or two, and the bedding was even more difficult to remove and wash, so I still let the dog sleep on its own.
Good! I made comfortable nests for Ah Fu and Ana with hay and animal skins. Later, Wang Jerry and I would sleep on the stone kang, and they would sleep in their own nests.
Ana is quite obedient and never gets on the kang. Ah Fu is a bastard. He clearly knows what I mean, but he pretends not to understand. No temper.
I am reluctant to let the new quilts and bedding get dirty. During the day, I fold the bedding and put it in the stone box beside the kang. At night, I clean the stone kang before laying the bedding out. Besides, before going to bed, Wang Jerry and I both scrub our body and hair. , try to keep yourself dry.
Wang Jierui is very clever. After shushing before going to bed, he basically won't wet the bed, but to be on the safe side, he still has his own little mattress, which is placed beside me. When I sleep, he sleeps next to me. Sleeping positions are the same.
With a mirror at home, there will be more life breath. Holding a small round mirror can tease Wang Jerry and let him know that the little guy with big eyes in the mirror is himself. When the nose is in the mirror, he reaches out and touches his ears and nose, which always makes him giggle.
A medium-sized mirror hangs in front of the sink. The entire crystal sink is made of pure quartz that I extracted with sand and gravel. There is a water storage sink on top. After the simple valve is opened, the water in the sink can flow down to wash. , very convenient, I plan to get another bathtub recently, and I can take a bath at home after boiling hot water, not to mention how comfortable it is.
The big mirror is next to my wardrobe. It is said to be a wardrobe, but it is actually a frame made of stone. A round stone rod acts as a shelf. It is covered with hangers. The clothes hangers are mostly underwear. Wear clothes from another world. On the small shelf in the lower half are Wang Jerui's small clothes. Except for a few pieces made by my mother, most of them were bought directly. There are many styles, and Wang Jerry can wear them.
Up to now, although I live in Luhe Village, my daily life is not much different from that of the other world. I can play songs and listen to English on my Walkman, and I can light up the whole house with a large table lamp. This life is simply too comfortable. Gotta say.
The fireplace and kang in the village are all on fire, the village is peaceful, and the work of the quarry is not affected.
It is a pleasure to see the piles of stones beside the quarry more and more. As long as I think that these stones will be turned into stone walls to protect the village next year, I will feel a sense of security in my heart. The stones are not too much, at least My house still has room for expansion. I want to add a study and a greenhouse next year. The study will be used for study, and various flowers and plants will be grown in the greenhouse.
Luhe Village is good for everything, with beautiful mountains, water and scenery. Spring, summer and autumn have their own characteristics, but it is too ugly to be bare in winter.
Especially after the reeds were drenched in freezing rain and cold winds in winter, it was impossible to see the plains. If I didn't know that the vast river beach would be full of delicious river shoots next spring, I really couldn't love the endless reeds.
Saying that we no longer sell wild vegetables and berries, I guess that means that I will dig out the river bamboo shoots next spring. As long as I bring them back, my parents will definitely sell them happily.
River bamboo shoots can be regarded as the most popular delicacy in our commissary. No matter how many people eat it once, they will never forget it.
In the evening, the snow began to fall again. It took only ten minutes, and the small snow slag turned into snow flakes like feathers. The fluttering snow flakes fluttered in the light beam of the flashlight. Wang Jerry was very absorbed. He is not afraid of the cold, and he never tires of it.
The high wall of the yard makes people feel safe. Standing in front of the house overlooking the whole village, you can see two dogs patrolling the village together, and the brazier of the guard barracks at the entrance of the village.
After Ah Fu and Ana came back, I also went back to the house. I told my son the story of Snow Boy, and told him that I could take him out to build a snowman tomorrow. Book sticks out his tongue, trying to taste the snowman.
It was less than nine o'clock after the story was told. The fire was on fire, and the burning anthracite brought dry warmth to the house. Sitting on the rug next to the fireplace with Alfred's belly on it was very comfortable. I reached out to let the apples on the table. One rolled down and fell into his hand, cut the core with a knife, and cut it into small teeth.
"Do you want to eat apples?" I asked Wang Jerry, who was reading the book in my arms.
"Don't eat." He didn't look up.
"Then let's eat it." I distributed the apples to Fu and Ana, and they both ate deliciously.
"You don't understand. What are you rummaging through? Tell Dad which one you want to hear, and Dad will tell you." I ate the apple and stretched out my hand to push Wang Jerry.
"No!" He broke my hand and continued to turn the book by himself.
Hey! This little brat.
