Grandma Zhou in her hometown finally received fifty yuan from the provincial capital, and when she saw the bare fifty yuan, Grandma Zhou's heart ached for a while.

When he was about to pack his luggage and go to the provincial capital to question and ask for money, the daughter-in-law of the captain's family ran over.

"Auntie, are you at home?"

Before he finished speaking, he pushed open the courtyard door and came in, and saw Grandma Zhou carrying a burden.

"Yo, third woman, where are you going out, I'm in catch."

"Uncle Tuesday sent a telegram back, saying that he sent fifty yuan to your family Xiaobing for marriage, and the family's house was also given to Xiaobing for a new house, ouch, I said the third wife, no one in the village can compare to your blessing, Uncle Tuesday is so filial, nephew is married and paid for and out of the house, so it's still not for your face, oh, by the way, Uncle Tuesday also said, your second grandson Xiaoguang is talking to someone, and now their whole family is tightening their belts to save money to marry a daughter-in-law." The captain's daughter-in-law's mouth was like a machine gun, and she kept talking.

Grandma Zhou was depressed, the second child had a house in the city, and this house was not intended to be really assigned to him again, just to show that she was fair, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this house was built by the second child. But who would have thought that he would use this to block himself now! The daughter-in-law of the captain's family shouted so loudly in the village, everyone knew that the second child had made a big effort in the nephew's marriage, what reason was there to ask for more money, and the little grandson was also the one who wanted to marry the daughter-in-law, and if the second family was hollowed out, wouldn't the little grandson have to be wronged...... What can I do when the dead daughter-in-law comes to settle accounts with me....

Forget it, I've saved a lot over the years, so the food in the cabinet should be enough.....

Grandma Zhou secretly reviewed herself in her heart, this cheek is still not thick enough!

Anyway, this matter is settled.

When Zhou Xiaobing got married, the second room of the Zhou family did not go back, and later I heard that it was not very smooth, and the Wang family made another fuss at the wedding, and finally Grandma Zhou took out a three-foot cloth and promised to make a new dress for the new daughter-in-law, which was considered a formal pass.

Zhou Xiaoran didn't have time to think about his hometown.

All three of the Zhou family's children did not go to school for the time being. Zhou Xiaoguang goes out every day, and he doesn't know what to do, so Zhou Xiaoran stays at home with Zhou Xiaojun and takes his younger brother to read books and practice calligraphy in his spare time.

"I don't want to go to college." Zhou Xiaojun suddenly spoke.

"What? Why? Zhou Xiaoran was surprised.

"I want to earn money as soon as possible to lighten the burden on my parents." Zhou Xiaojun said in a low voice.

Although Zhou Xiaojun's grades are not particularly good, they are also in the upper middle range, and he is still very promising for the university entrance examination.

"However, if you finish college and then work, you will be better assigned and more conducive to future development." I can't take the test if I want to in the future.

"That's going to take a long time, it takes four years to study in college, and in fact, I have a lot of hard time studying, and it takes others an hour to understand the knowledge, but I often take two hours or even longer, and now you can see the school environment, how can you still have the heart to study, it's better to go to work." Zhou Xiaojun smiled and pinched Zhou Xiaoran's face, "When I get my salary, I'll buy us Xiaoran something delicious." ”

"Sister...."Zhou Xiaoran embarrassedly brushed away her sister's hand, her baby fat was pinched out since she was a child!

"I have also discussed with my parents that the textile factory will have an open recruitment in two months, and I will sign up at that time."

"Then, have you discussed it with your Comrade Wu Lei?"

Zhou Xiaojun's mood suddenly fell.

once made an appointment to be admitted to the same university, but his grades were so good, how could he drag him down.

"He's not going to break up with you just because you're in college, right?" Zhou Xiaoran said urgently.

Zhou Xiaojun shook his head, and the words that the young man said came to mind.

"You wait for me, and when I graduate from college, we'll get married."

I couldn't help but smile softly on my face.

Zhou Xiaoran couldn't help but sigh, a woman in love is really ...... It's beautiful.

However, if the textile factory wants to recruit people, should you also sign up...... According to his age, he will not be able to catch up with the college entrance examination.

That's when it happened.

"Xiaoran, Xiaoran."

"Are you at home?"

Zhou Xiaoran walked out, "Aunt Huang, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Xiaoran's family lives in the factory staff compound, and the surrounding neighbors are all textile factory workers.

"Your father asked someone to bring you a message and let you go to the factory."

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away, thank you, auntie."

Zhou Xiaoran said to her sister and went out, still wondering what happened to Zhou Zhipeng calling her along the way.

Zhou Zhipeng and Chen Yun are both employees of the textile factory, Chen Yun read a lot of books, and became an officer in the factory trade union, Zhou Zhipeng is still very active in his work, mixed with the director of the logistics department, the two of them are also cadres, and the salary and benefits are not bad, so they have the ability to subsidize their hometown so much every year.

Zhou Xiaoran found Zhou Zhipeng.

"Dad, what's the matter with you asking me to come?"

Zhou Zhipeng was burying his head in writing something, and raised his head when he heard the words, "Ah, that's the case, someone came to you in the morning, and now he is still waiting in the reception room, you should hurry up and take a look." Zhou Xiaoran agreed and walked to the reception room.

In the distance, I saw the green uniform.

Zhou Xiaoran almost forgot.

"Comrade Zhou Xiaoran, it turns out that you are not a worker in a textile factory, fortunately, the doorman knows Director Zhou, otherwise where would I go to find you." Seeing Zhou Xiaoran coming, the green military uniform stood up and said solemnly.

"Although I am not an employee of the textile factory, I am a family member of the textile factory, I have been under the nose of Uncle Liu since I was a child, as soon as you say it, he knows that it is me."

"Comrade PLA, how many supplies are you going to want?" Zhou Xiaoran saw that there were only two people in the reception room, and immediately stepped into the topic.

"I want ten catties of jujubes and fifty eggs, by the way, do you have food?"

Zhou Xiaoran squinted and looked at Tan Shiguo.

"You want it yourself?" The military is better off than the ordinary people.

"I have a comrade-in-arms, and my family is particularly difficult, if I can, I want to take thirty catties of coarse grain from you every month, and I don't have that much ability."

Ouch, this is affectionate and righteous.

"Yes, yes, but I can say it first, this food is all saved by our family through gritted teeth, and we want to exchange it for some more scarce items, not speculation." Zhou Xiaoran looked upright.

Tan Shiguo is a little funny, and the little girl is quite cautious.

"Okay, where's the thing?"

"I didn't know you were coming, of course I didn't bring it with me, I'll go home and get it for you now, well, there is a stinky ditch behind the family courtyard, and basically no one will go there, you wait for me there."

After saying that, the two walked out together.

Zhou Xiaoran didn't go home, but went to a small alley leading to the stinky ditch, entered the space, took things and packed them in a sack, looked outside from the space, and only came out after confirming that there was no one.

Things were quite heavy, Zhou Xiaoran could only drag the sack forward, and when he turned the corner, he saw the green uniform.

The green uniforms saw it from a distance and immediately trotted over to take it.

It's quite eye-catching.

"What tickets do you have?"

Tan Shiguo took out a neat handful of tickets from his trouser pocket and handed them to Zhou Xiaoran.

Zhou Xiaoran looked at it, there were food stamps, meat stamps, sugar stamps, industrial stamps, and even a watch ticket, Zhou Xiaoran had several watches in his space, all of which were put in in his previous life, but they were all some brands that were not popular in this era, and there was no tool to see the time, which was really inconvenient.

"You're just going to let me take whatever I want?" Zhou Xiaoran raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You look at what you want." As he spoke, he took out another wad of money and gave it to Zhou Xiaoran.

Well, for the sake of his sincerity, Zhou Xiaoran was not embarrassed to pit him.

Forget about the food stamps, I don't lack them, but the watch stamps.....

Zhou Xiaoran took out ten yuan, took two catties of meat tickets and two * business tickets, and hesitated a little when he held the watch ticket in his hand.

This seems to be very precious.

Tan Shiguo seemed to see Zhou Xiaoran's embarrassment.

"You can take this watch ticket too, I don't need it anyway."

Go on the road!

returned the rest of the money ticket to Tan Shiguo, and Zhou Xiaoran told again: "Remember to bring this sack of things next time you come, I don't have much at home." ”

Tan Shiguo nodded silently.

"Be careful on the road, don't be seen by the soldiers, I'm leaving."

After Zhou Xiaoran finished speaking, he turned around and left, and his sister must have already cooked the meal.

Tan Shiguo watched Zhou Xiaoran run away, and then picked up the sack and walked towards the military academy.

It's a business again, and it's still a long-term business.

Zhou Xiaoran had a spin in his mind and came up with an idea.

After staying in the alley for a while, I looked at the wall to make sure that the green uniform was gone, and entered the space again.

There is a lot of flour stored in the space, all of which were exchanged from the black market before, and Zhou Xiaoran pretended to be twenty catties, which can be eaten with dumplings.

I went to the chicken coop again and took a look.

Well? The group of tender yellow and tender yellow is.... Chick!

Hug the nest again.

Just slaughter one today, improve the food for the family, grab one of the first batch of old hens to put in and tie it with a rope, according to Zhou Xiaoran's observation, this batch of chickens no longer lay eggs.

I went straight home when I got out of the space.

"This.... Where did this come from? ”

Zhou Zhipeng, Chen Yun and Zhou Xiaoguang have all gone home.

Everyone was stunned when they saw what Zhou Xiaoran took home.

"I have a classmate's aunt married into a village around the provincial capital, this chicken is her aunt's family raised by herself, it is already old and does not lay eggs, so it is sold to pay back, I have a good relationship with her, it cost less than five yuan, the person who came to the factory today to find me is her cousin, who specially sent me something, oh, the white noodles are also her cousin helped me get it, no ticket, as for where to get it, I don't know."

Zhou Xiaoran does have such a classmate, but that classmate moved his family to a neighboring province a month ago, and Zhou Xiaoguang will definitely not have a chance to verify it.

"Is your classmate's cousin a soldier?" Zhou Zhipeng asked.

Zhou Xiaoran paused, "No, it's a truck driver, he said that he can find him for anything he needs in the future." "If you take things out later, you'll have a source.

Everyone was stunned, no wonder, the driver traveled from south to north, and had the opportunity to exchange various materials from other places.

Chen Yun suddenly said solemnly: "Xiaoran, where did you get so much money?" ”

"I've saved it! I've had pocket money since I was a child, and my brother gave me a lot of money, and I have saved it, hum, I'm not afraid you know, my little treasury is more than my father's. Zhou Xiaoran said coquettishly, winked at Zhou Xiaoguang again, and the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

"Nonsense, where does your father have a little coffers?" Zhou Zhipeng pretended to be murderous.

Zhou Xiaojun sneered, "Dad's little treasury is managed by my mother." ”

Zhou Zhipeng pretended to stare at his eldest daughter again, and the family couldn't help laughing.

"Mom, let's make dumplings to eat, every Friday at the door of the family courtyard there is an old lady carrying a basket around, the basket is filled with wild vegetables, when the time comes, we will go to buy some, and then cut a pound of pork." Zhou Xiaoguang suggested.

"I'll eat the dumplings after a while, eat the chicken first, I'll go and clean it up and stew it later, and you can watch it at home in the afternoon." After Chen Yun finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and went to work.
