Not long after Zhou Xin left, Zheng Mupan sat on the kang with a look of expectation on her face, and asked Zheng Juan:

"Juan'er, what do you think of this young man Zhou Bingkun?"

Zheng Juan heard her mother say this, and she also knew what her mother's plan was, but now that she was in this situation, she really needed to find someone to rely on, so she didn't hide it and said directly:

"People are very good-looking, but I haven't been in contact with them, and I don't know how his character is?"

Hearing that her daughter was not disgusted, Zheng's mother hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot:

"Judging from my mother's contact this month, this young man is a good person, and he has a city hukou, and he is also a regular worker in the Red Star Timber Factory."

After finishing speaking, seeing that her daughter's expression did not change, she continued:

"When I just came back, I heard a little about his family, his father went to support the construction of the "big third line", his mother was an activist in the street, his brother went to join the construction corps, and his sister also went to the countryside. ”

Mother Zheng's voice was a little choked as she spoke, and she touched the light that was sitting on the side and listening quietly with her hand:

"Juan'er, Mom doesn't want to force you, I just hope you can have a reliable man, it's all because Mom and Guangming have dragged you down, so that you can't leave with peace of mind, so you can only secretly hide and become a person without a hukou."

Zheng Juan looked at her mother and became more and more excited, so she could only sigh and say:

"Mom, even if I have an idea, I don't know if people are willing to accept me as a person without a hukou."

When Zheng's mother heard her daughter's words, she was also a little unsure of Zhou Xin's thoughts at this time, although Zhou Xin was a little stunned when she saw her daughter just now, but it didn't mean that he liked her daughter, she thought about it and then said:

"Juan'er, let's do it, let's go to sell sugar gourds together in the next few days, just to create some opportunities for you to contact each other, it's best if it can be done then, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it."

Zheng Juan did not refuse her mother's suggestion, nodded in agreement, after all, she really needs a support, and Zhou Xin's conditions are completely in line with her own support.

……

On the other side, Zhou Xin, who came home, sat on the bench and read a book, while Li Suhua was knitting a gray sweater, while looking at her youngest son who was reading seriously, at first she thought that Zhou Xin was just a whim, but she didn't expect her son to have lasted for a month, she was happy for her son from the bottom of her heart.

At this time, Zhou Xin was not immersed in studying, but thinking about how to get some meat to eat, and he ate pickles, radish, and Chinese cabbage in turn every day this month, which was really unbearable.

After all, Zhou Xin is from the 21st century, although he was not a delicacy of the mountains and seas every day, but all kinds of meat have never been less, and after coming to this world, he ate braised pork once at the beginning of the month, and now I still miss it a little when I think about it.

This month, Zhou Xin also has a general understanding of the price, the price of pork is about 5 cents a catty, although his monthly income of 17 yuan is not high, but it is no problem to buy a few catties of meat, but unfortunately now it is purchased with tickets, and he and Li Suhua only have 2 catties of meat tickets per month.

I don't know the price of black market meat tickets, and more importantly, the safety issue, now the crackdown on speculation is more serious, and catching it is patrolling the streets + prison, Zhou Xin doesn't want to be caught in.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xin decided to ask some information from Tu Zhiqiang before deciding, after all, Artesian Water and Luo Shibin are in this business, and it is impossible for Tu Zhiqiang not to know the situation on the black market.

The next day, after Zhou Xin and Tu Zhiqiang were busy for a while, Tu Zhiqiang repeated his old tricks, after the nails stuck in the wood broke the chain on the machine, while everyone was resting, Zhou Xin walked up to Tu Zhiqiang and said:

"Brother Qiang, I want to ask you for some news, can you see if it's convenient for you?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xin signaled to the surrounding workers, and then walked towards the place where no one was, although Tu Zhiqiang didn't know what he wanted to ask, he didn't refuse, and followed Zhou Xin directly to a remote place.

"Bingkun, if you have anything, just say it."

Tu Zhiqiang saw that there was no one around again, so he asked directly.

"Brother Qiang, I just wanted to ask if you know what the price of meat tickets is on the black market now? And where to buy it after all? ”

As soon as Tu Zhiqiang heard what Zhou Xin said, he immediately vigilantly looked around again, and then pretended to be none of his business, and then asked:

"Bingkun, how did you think of asking me about the black market? How could I possibly know this? ”

After finishing speaking, Tu Zhiqiang saw a smile with a little meaning on Zhou Xin's face, and knew that he must know something, so he stopped pretending not to know, and the expression on his face began to become serious, and asked directly:

"Bingkun, where did you know that I knew about the black market? If you tell me, I'll tell you something about the black market. ”

Zhou Xin casually lied and said:

"I just heard from someone that you have a good relationship with two people who buy and sell on the black market, so I came to ask, I want to go buy something."

Tu Zhiqiang is not a fool, of course he won't believe what Zhou Xin said, but it's not easy to tear his face, so he continued to probe:

"Kun'er, since you know that I have something to do with the black market, tell me what you need, I'll buy it for you, I will definitely not cheat you."

Zhou Xin also guessed Tu Zhiqiang's thoughts, after all, if he bought it for the three people, then Zhou Xin would also become a grasshopper on a rope for the three of them, and he was not afraid that Zhou Xin would report the three of them for speculation.

Of course, Zhou Xin would not leave a handle for Tu Zhiqiang, and then pretended to be grateful, and said:

"Brother Qiang, there is no need to trouble you, after all, you have to be responsible for this matter, I don't want you to take risks because of my business, just introduce me to the prices of various tickets on the black market."

Tu Zhiqiang glanced at Zhou Xin deeply, and he didn't know if Zhou Xin didn't want to cause trouble? Or are you just playing dumb? But now there is no way to force him to tell the truth in the factory, so he can only say:

"Kun'er, are you in a hurry? I haven't been exposed to the information over there lately, and the previous information may be a little inaccurate, otherwise, I'll go and inquire about the new price tonight, and we'll find a place to talk after work tomorrow night. ”

After listening to this, Zhou Xin did not refuse, so he nodded and responded:

"Then it's troublesome Brother Qiang, brother, I'll wait for your news tomorrow."

Hearing Zhou Xin's agreement, Tu Zhiqiang put his mind at ease, after all, since Zhou Xin agreed to discuss tomorrow night, then the possibility of him being malicious is much smaller, but he can't completely put his mind at ease, tonight he still has to find water to discuss with them to see what to do.

Of course, Zhou Xin is not worried that Tu Zhiqiang will be a threat to him tomorrow, even if Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin go together, there are only three of them, and he will bring a short stick to go over tomorrow, unless the three of them have guns, otherwise with their own fighting skills, they will only have ghosts if they don't fight if they call their fathers.

Then the two went back to sit down in harmony, and when the chain was repaired, they continued to carry the wood.

After getting off work in the evening, Zhou Xin rushed to the door of the cinema to continue to buy rock sugar gourds, and unexpectedly saw that Zheng Juan was also present, but he didn't show anything, took out 4 cents and handed it over as usual and said:

"Auntie, it's still 2 strings of sugar gourds, I've really been addicted to eating recently."

At this time, Zheng's mother touched Zheng Juan with her arm, Zheng Juan reacted, pulled out 2 strings in the innermost part of the board with rock sugar gourds, handed them to Zhou Xin, and said in her mouth:

"Comrade Zhou Bingkun, thank you for always taking care of my family's business, these two strings are the best two strings in today's sugar gourd."

Zhou Xin took it, picked up a string and took a bite, and then said:

"It's okay, I just like to eat such a sweet and sour bite, in fact, I should thank you for allowing me to eat such a delicious sugar gourd."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xin didn't stay long, and rode away, after all, this era is not like modern times, you can roll the sheets after looking at the right eye for a day, and now you can only talk about it slowly.
