Years ago, after the madness of summer and the high price of the black market, a batch of white sugar and flour was imported from China. In this way, people are finally happy.

As the market began to offer high-priced dim sum and sweets, a number of high-priced restaurants were added. Suddenly, many people who have savings at home have solved their urgent needs.

Department stores and grocery stores are crowded with people, and the counters are crowded with people buying high-priced snacks and sweets.

It's a pity that it's a high-priced item. Milk candy costs six yuan per catty, and dim sum costs five yuan. If you really want to do the math, the price is not much lower than that of the black market.

It didn't take long for these high consumption to make high-income people unbearable, and it also blocked many people who were stretched thin.

Especially for a while, the high-priced restaurant with unlimited scenery is less crowded, and it looks empty. Starting at least four or five yuan for a dish, or even twenty or thirty yuan, the consumption level is really not affordable for ordinary people.

Zhou Jiao didn't know what others thought, so she herself dragged her mother to prevent her from going.

"Mom, don't go. Whatever you want to eat, you order, I'll burn it, let you eat happily! ”

"Let's go check it out."

Zhou Jiao shook her head decisively, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold you, and I will come back and have insomnia at night." ”

In the case that ordinary workers can only eat one dish per capita per month, this kind of curiosity cannot be had.

At the beginning, the fat sheep with a lot of money still came to the door, but now they don't even come to the door with stupid fat sheep, how brain-dead she has to be to follow her mother to coax.

Not to mention that there are space materials at home, there is no need to go to any high-priced restaurants with her father's special supply. When did her mother's standard of living suffer? It's irrational.

Time is approaching the tail of the Year of the Rat, and the Year of the Ox is about to usher in the Year of the Ox.

It's another New Year, even if Zhou Jiao prepares carefully, this year's New Year and the New Year, the atmosphere of the two is still not as good as the year.

After eating a collective Chinese New Year's Eve, we ushered in the first group worship of the first month.

Nowadays, it is also fashionable to give up their hands and say "Wishing you prosperity". Whether it's a group worship, or a visit by family and friends. Nodding to each other and "Happy New Year" instead.

Zhou Jiao estimated that in addition to receiving the New Year's money safely, the children in the entire capital will follow Hello Comrade Dad, hello Comrade Mom... It's really about abandoning the old customs so that you don't have to press the New Year's money.

In the collective year, everything is the same as last year. The temple fairs and various amusement parks in the first month of the year cannot restore the grandeur of previous years.

After the Spring Festival, the well-dressed pedestrians on the street seem to have decreased a lot with hunger, and occasionally you can only see one or two in high-priced restaurants. Most of them are in a hurry, and they no longer see the pedestrians who used to wander slowly and leisurely.

As soon as the first month passed, Daddy Zhang's third letter also came. In addition to the two pieces of letter paper written by Xizi, the envelope also contained a private message written by Zhang's father.

Zhang's father told his old son that he was worried that the family's food would be exposed, so he asked Zhao Chuanguang for help, and replaced most of the fine grain with coarse grain in the provincial capital, and then exchanged it for grain stamps, which multiplied the interest several times. Now no one is as rich as him, so if the old son is short of food, remember to squeak.

Zhou Jiao looked at it and smiled. Her father-in-law is a character. Avoid Zhao Dashan and find her godfather. That's a great job! Look at the upright strokes above, it's really talented.

"What. My dad already knew a lot of characters, but they used to be in traditional Chinese, and he always wrote without arms and legs. Now that there are Xizi by their side, what is the difficulty of simplified characters. You forgot the account books of the separation, he personally registered them. Zhang Guoqing didn't want to admit that his father was illiterate.

Zhou Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, "Dad is amazing." Otherwise, how could you exchange fine grains for coarse grains in the early years to fill the stomach? I didn't expect us to make a lot of money here, and he also made a lot of money. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, read the letter carefully, carefully folded it and put it in the box, and let Zhou Jiao put it in the space. These secrets don't see the light of day.

Thinking of the things mentioned by Xizi in the letter, Zhou Jiaozhen is not worth it for a woman, "You said that ten catties of cornmeal can really marry a beautiful girl?" ”

After speaking, she didn't want Zhang Guoqing to answer, and looked ahead. I'm so stupid, can I still fake this? As the head of the family, whether it is to settle down or the destination of his daughter, this is a good way.

Zhang Guoqing didn't want outsiders' affairs to affect his wife's mood. He picked her up and boasted, "Daughter-in-law, you are so smart." This will cost you all the bills to buy things, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Speaking of materials, Zhou Jiao was arrogant, "The best thing is the old goods of Huaihai, how affordable." As long as the cafeteria is disbanded, the pots and knives inside can be exchanged for a lot of things. ”

"Little money fans."

The couple were frolicking here, and after a while, there was a conversation between Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Ruzhu and Aunt Chen outside.

Zhou Jiao stood up from Zhang Guoqing's arms, sorted out her clothes, and followed him out of the room.

"Auntie, little aunt."

After saying hello, Zhou Jiao saw the package on the ground and looked at Mrs. Cheng's mother and daughter.

"Let's talk about it first." The old lady asked Aunt Chen to clean up and led them into the living room.

"What's going on?"

Cheng Ruzhu said lightly: "Give us a little bit of peace." Don't push, I know you don't lack things, this is our intention. ”

Seeing that Zhou Jiao still wanted to refuse, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, listen to me." The two of you have been secretly subsidizing Xiaoyu's brothers, thinking that your sister-in-law doesn't know? It's all your own family, don't be polite to your sister-in-law. ”

Cheng Ruzhu nodded, "Push around and give birth." Your little uncle also asked me to bring him dumplings, saying that he had finished eating the dumplings you made. ”

Several people laughed.

"You're really welcome."

"You're welcome. Several of Congwen's colleagues are swollen from their lower limbs, and they rely on the rehabilitation powder prescribed by the hospital to support them. Xiaoyu and his brother's school all eat leaves. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled: "Why didn't my sister-in-law bring a few cousins over today?" He really didn't want to let some bad news from the outside scare his wife, so he could only change the subject.

Cheng Ruzhu didn't want the children to come over again. Eat big brother's house all day, okay?

She smiled, "As soon as school starts in a few days, he won't even see a shadow of people, and his grandfather will let them accompany him these days." ”

A few people chatted for a while, Cheng Ruzhu thought of some rumors she heard, looked at the faces of several of them, and hesitated to speak. But if you don't say it, I'm afraid that the child won't know, and I'm afraid that the child will respond in my heart.

Zhou Jiao saw that her expression was wrong, she lowered her eyelids, and knew in her heart that there must be something about the Lin family. She also heard some rumors, but she didn't expect even Cheng Ruzhu, who was far away in the north of the city, to know about it.

Cheng Ruzhu thought about it for a while, but still didn't say anything, and planned to talk to the old lady later. Anyway, it can't involve her eldest brother's family.

In fact, even Mrs. Cheng knew that Cheng Ruzhu really didn't need to work so hard.

Everything in the Lin family has to be done vigorously, for fear that others will not know. This time, Lin Aiguo, the boss of Lin, was harmed by his mother, and he couldn't make a family.

The son came back alive after all the hardships, and did not let him treat his daughter-in-law who had been guarding him for many years, but pulled his son every day to prevent him from coming home. Is there anyone like this who is a mother?

Outsiders don't know, thinking that Gu Ruyi, an old woman, is seriously ill and wants her eldest son to accompany her. But Mrs. Cheng knew very well in her heart, the old woman was deliberate, how could she seem to be the head of the family if she didn't make trouble?

Now it's okay, right? The eldest daughter-in-law is no longer serving your Lin family. This is retribution!
