12. Chapter 12
When she made braised pork and stewed potatoes again, Lin Xinzhen said that no matter what, thank Zhang Shufen for her reminder and asked Zhou Yun to send them a bowl and say that it was for Niu Niu to eat. Zhou Yun thought of the sugar that Dafang brought back a few days ago, and also took two pieces and brought them over.
Zhang Shufen was still a little ashamed when she received the meat, her own in-laws did such a thing, she didn't dare to find out, but the second aunt's family didn't care, and finally made something delicious and thought about his cows, and said that if there is any work in the future, just tell them, don't say anything else, they always have a strength.
This sister-in-law is a person who can be socialized, Zhou Yun agreed, took out the candy to tease Niu Niu, "Call the second aunt." ”
Niu Niu said with a smile: "Ergou!"
Zhou Yun couldn't cry or laugh, "It's the second aunt." ”
"It's Ergou!"
"It's not the second dog, it's the second aunt. ”
"It's not two dogs, it's two dogs. Niu Niu said with difficulty.
Well, against this toothless villain, Zhou Yun was defeated.
They grow some peanuts at home in order to squeeze oil to eat, and they can also be a snack themselves, and there is not much excess. At the end of the week, there are not many peanuts at home.
After discussing with his family, Zhou Yun wrote a notice for buying peanuts at noon, took it out and pasted it under the big locust tree where people in the village often gathered.
There is no one in the village who has posted a poster, which is really rare. After a while, a lot of people gathered there to watch.
"Xiaofang, do you want to buy peanuts?"
"yes. "Now it's because others didn't expect that they could earn this money so easily.
This word is like a stone thrown into the water, causing a splash.
"Xiaofang, why do you want to harvest peanuts?"
"We're making fried peanuts to sell, so we're going to collect them. "Anyway, this matter can't be hidden from people sooner or later, so it's better to be generous.
"It seems that your family is really rich! no wonder you look at your parents, they are so happy every day. ”
"No, I said that I smelled the smell of boiled meat in their house two times in three days, and other people's lives are really fairy. "There are also people who are envious.
"Not really, but it's just a processing fee. "Money is not exposed, Zhou Yun is naturally modest.
The Zhou family wants to harvest peanuts, they are all villagers in the village, and the place is close, and the people in the village are willing to sell it to them. However, the Zhou family couldn't make so many salted peanuts for a while, and they didn't have so much money to collect, so Zhou Meng came forward to discuss with them to put them in the villagers' own homes first, and then pull them over when the peanuts were used, and when they were made into salted peanuts and sold, the money would be given to them. This is equivalent to the peanuts of the She family.
Anyway, the peanuts are also put at home, and they all know that Zhou Meng and his family are people, and everyone agrees.
There is a straightforward personality and said: "Brother, to put it mildly, if Brother Zhou Gang's family wants to have peanuts, I really don't dare, but your family, everyone has been together for so many years, and there is no problem." Having said that, your family really has a way, and you can actually make salted peanuts, which is much better than our rigid farming!"
This is a rare compliment from Zhou Meng from the villagers, and he is so happy that the wrinkles on his face are relaxed, and he feels that he has never raised his eyebrows like this.
The family's business is stable, and the whole family is also full of enthusiasm, calculating the money earned, and after the New Year, they can build a new house for Zhou Shengwu. The family was excited to hear the news.
Zhou Shengwu grabbed his hair and said, "Then don't I have to sleep on the roof anymore?" The low part of the roof is not as tall as his, and he has to bend over. Besides, it is also very troublesome to climb such a high ladder every day, and in order to save trouble, he does not dare to drink water at night, so as not to climb up and down at night to go to the toilet outside the house.
On top of that, the rats in the house were also running around on the roof, and he was afraid that one night he would sleep too deeply, and in the middle of the night the rats would bite his toes or fingers. It's been reported on TV, saying that a child is bitten, although he is an adult, he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
"When the new house is built, you can have one room for each of you, and you don't have to be so crowded anymore. Zhou Meng put his hands behind his back, walked with a small figure, walking neither fast nor slow, like a cadre in the township. Ever since he was complimented, he's been like this all the time. However, it really gave him a bit of grace.
"Then you have to approve the foundation first, otherwise where will you build a new house?" Lin Xinzhen reminded him.
"I'm going to the secretary's house now, and I bought two bottles of wine when I went to the village to deliver the goods today. Zhou Meng took out two bottles of wine from the house with a smile on his face, put them in a cloth bag, and beckoned Zhou Shengwu to go out together.
"Eh, Dad, it's also a good idea for you to bring some salted peanuts we made. Zhou Yun smiled and said.
"Yes, Xiaofang reminded me correctly. Zhou Meng patted his head, "Forget this, our peanuts are popular now." ”
Lin Xinzhen helped to fill a bag of peanuts, which weighed about three or four catties. A box of Beijing instant noodles is only 10 yuan, and it is very good to go to relatives, and their bag of peanuts is worth more than a box of instant noodles.
One of them carried wine, and the other went to the village party secretary's house with peanuts. The village party secretary greeted them directly to the courtyard and warmly asked them to greet them into the house, "Brother, you said you should come here, what are you doing with your things?"
It turned out that the meeting was just a lukewarm hello, Zhou Meng was a little flattered, "I did it myself, I wanted to come over a long time ago, this business has just started, we are a little busy and don't take care of it." ”
Looking at the two bottles of liquor and a bag full of peanuts, the village party secretary smiled even more, "Eh, your peanuts, my little grandson has shouted at me a few times, saying that he wants to buy and eat them." He also instructed his wife, "Go, get two dishes, and I will have two drinks with Brother Zhou Meng." ”
Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, Zhou Meng said: "What else to buy, I made it myself at home, I'll send you some later!"
"Don't send it down, just give us a cheaper price. The village party secretary was happy.
"Then that's guaranteed to be fine. ”
The wife of the branch secretary made cold dishes, and after a cup change, Zhou Meng put forward a request to approve a homestead, and the village branch secretary readily agreed.
The first time he drank with the party secretary of this village, Zhou Meng was happy, and asked Zhou Shengwu to toast as well. Then after being half drunk, the two of them helped each other back.
After the two left, the wife of the village party secretary asked unhappily: "Drink, drink, why don't you drink and faint, do you need to be so enthusiastic about Zhou Laoer?
The village party secretary glanced at his wife, and lay down on the bed happily, "Stinky mother-in-law, you know what a fart! Now Zhou Laoer's house is different from the original!"
His wife said impatiently, "What's the difference? Isn't it just making a salted peanut, what's so great?" You too, people have promised to send our grandson salted peanuts to eat, you don't want to fake Qinggao!"
Last year, the peanut market was good, and our family planted too many peanuts, but unfortunately the price of peanuts fell this year, and the shelled peanuts were only sold for two yuan and five yuan per catty. But do you know how much is sold in Zhoujiaxian Peanut Township?"
"How much?"
"Four pieces, still with shells. ”
"Ah, isn't his family making a fortune?"
"I can't say that I can make a lot of money, but get rid of the people who sell on behalf of them, they should make a lot of money. So I thought it would be better for them to help make our peanuts salty than to sell them. ”
"Or do you have insight. The wife of the village party secretary helped him pinch his shoulder.
The village party secretary was pinched comfortably, "Haha, now you don't blame me for why I'm so enthusiastic." ”
"No blame, no blame!"
Zhou Meng naturally didn't know the plans of the village party secretary, he went back and said to his family, everyone was very excited, finally there was a homestead, it was difficult to listen to others, but this time the branch secretary was still very good at talking.
Sure enough, the next day, the village party secretary helped with the formalities, and Zhou Meng got the homestead certificate, because there was a requirement for one house per household, and the name on the homestead was Zhou Shengwu's. Although in fact he is still in the old home, literally, he has split up.
