In the evening, when Yu Li came back from work, Yan Jiecheng told her about going to Zuojiazhuang tomorrow.

"Okay, you go get some eggs tomorrow and come back. I won't take your salary this month, and I'll hand it in when you come back. ”

Yu Li thought for a while and then complained: "Also, you also bought the things that our family should buy for the New Year, our factory will not have a holiday until the twenty-nineth, if I buy it, then our family will not eat anything for the New Year, and I don't know how our factory will have a holiday on the twenty-ninth every New Year, so I don't know how many days in advance." ”

"This Chinese New Year, everyone has to make clothes, can your textile factory not be busy? By the way, your factory has no defective fabrics, you can buy more and keep them to make clothes. Yan Jiecheng pointed to the boy and said to Li.

It's not that they don't want to use good fabrics for them, but they are growing up, and it doesn't take long for the finished clothes to be small.

There is also the fact that they don't know how to clean up at the age of fun, and the freshly washed clothes will get dirty after not wearing them for half a day, and they often wash the clothes.

"Okay, I'll go to my colleague in the warehouse to ask when I go to work tomorrow."

Xiao Ziwan: "Dad, I want to eat candy." ”

"What kind of candy to eat, this has to be eaten, and I will eat it tomorrow." Yu Li heard that Xiao Ziwan was still going to eat candy and said fiercely to her.

I just gave her one, and she almost finished eating all the candy at home. What do other children eat when they come to pay New Year's greetings, but there are no sugar tickets at home, and they can't buy them if they want to.

"Don't eat sugar, I'll boil you an egg later." Yan Jiecheng persuaded on the side.

"No, I'm going to eat candy."

Yu Li was so annoyed by her that she had a headache, so she walked over and picked her up and turned over, and slapped her little ass twice.

"Wow......"

Yan Jiecheng looked at it, yes, now you can eat sugar.

Sure enough, after Yu Li finished beating Xiao Ziwan, she took out a piece of candy from the cabinet and handed it to her.

Xiao Ziwan took the candy while crying, and Xiao Ziyang was stunned when he watched it from the side.

"Why do you want to eat candy too?" Yu Li looked at Xiao Ziyang and asked at her.

The boy shook his head again and again in fright: "I don't eat it, Yangyang doesn't like to eat sugar." ”

Yu Li glanced at Xiao Ziyang with an expression that counted you as a kid.

Although Xiao Ziwan ate the sugar, Yan Jiecheng still boiled an egg for her at dinner, so she couldn't let her suffer this meal in vain.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

The boy ate the egg happily, although he was beaten, but he ate a candy and an egg. Xiao Ziwan said that this beating is worth it, and the world of bear children is really incomprehensible to ordinary people.

…………

Early the next morning, when Li left work, Yan Jiecheng handed over the two children to the three mothers and rode out of the courtyard on a bicycle.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, I bought two bottles of two pots and a box of snacks, two bottles of canned food, put them in the car frame, and rode to Zuojiazhuang.

"Is my cousin at home?"

Yan Jiecheng saw that he opened the door and rode his bicycle directly into the yard, just in time to see his cousin washing clothes in the yard.

"Xie Cheng is here, you said that you came to take so many things, go and sit in the house for a while. Isn't it going to be the New Year, your cousin went to the village for a meeting, so I'll call him for you. ”

"Cousin, don't worry, let him have a meeting with my cousin, I'm fine, it's not the New Year, my mother asked me to come over and have a look." As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng followed his cousin into the room and put the things in his hand on the table.

"How's your mom doing?"

"Okay. When I was not sick or sick, I coaxed my two children to cook for my dad every day, and they didn't do any manual work. ”

"If you don't say it's better in the city, it's like our countryside, where you look like you're in your fifties." My cousin said with envy.

Their family could have stayed in the city, but at that time, the management was not strict when they were just liberated, and no matter where they were, as long as they were in the city, they could get a hukou even if they didn't have a job, but my cousin had to go back to his hometown to farm.

This divided the land, and within a few years of planting, cooperatives began to be established, and they had to go to the land to earn centimeters. I can't earn much money all year round, and I can't eat enough. Now my cousin regrets dying.

"Cousin, why didn't Yang Hao see him?"

"Hey, it's not a school holiday, there's nothing to do at home, I'm going to his grandma's house."

While they were talking, Uncle Cousin walked in: "Xie Cheng, why are you here, is there something?" ”

"It's okay, it's not a year's old, my mother asked me to come and have a look." Yan Jiecheng said sullenly. Why do you feel that something is wrong when you see him coming, is it that they didn't interact with their cousin's house when they were okay before, well, it's really possible with Lao Li's character.

"Okay, then let your cousin fry a few hard dishes at noon, and let's drink some." Uncle Cousin looked at the wine brought by Yan Jiecheng and said boldly.

"Okay, you sit and talk for a while, I'll go stir-fry." My cousin got up and went to the kitchen outside.

Seeing his cousin leave, Yan Jiecheng said: "Uncle cousin, do you know who has eggs in this village, I'll buy some, rest assured that the price is higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative, just follow five cents a piece." ”

Five cents a price is the same as the eggs sold in the vegetable market, but there is no need for a ticket. This is half the price for the people in the village, and the eggs they sell to the village supply and marketing cooperatives are only about three cents.

In this era, the rural supply and marketing cooperatives were not only responsible for selling things, but also responsible for purchasing agricultural products from the village, and bringing them to the city to sell to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city when they were purchased.

When my cousin heard that the price was so high, he was a little puzzled and said: "Xie Cheng, you can buy it in the city at this price, why are you still collecting it in the village, and besides, if you bump along the way, you will have to break a few at least when you bring it home." ”

"Isn't it to buy tickets in the city, I can't buy many tickets this month, and the two children in the family don't have enough to eat."

After listening to Yan Jiecheng's explanation, Uncle Cousin said, "Okay, I'll go find you how much do you want later?" ”

"The more the merrier, even if you can't eat it, you can make salted eggs. By the way, Uncle Cousin, when will your village kill pigs and see if you can order meat for me? I also buy it at a high price, and I don't pick any meat. ”

Uncle Cousin thought for a while and said, "The meat is estimated to be enough to choke the two pigs raised in the village this year, just enough for the villagers to share, do you want the pig's head?" ”

Yan Jiecheng was quite disappointed when he heard his cousin say that he was choked enough, and he was happy when he heard his cousin say that he could sell his pig's head.

"Yes, Uncle Cousin, these two pigs will be left to me after the village is divided, even if it is the bones, I will pay for them."

"What do you want bones for, there's no meat on this thing." Uncle Cousin really couldn't understand Yan Jiecheng's thoughts, you must know that if you kill the pig now, the bones will be clean, and no meat will be left at all.

"Uncle Cousin, just do what I say, I can also use this big bone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it, and I'm not stupid. Yan Jiecheng looked at his cousin like a fool and quickly explained.

"Okay, anyway, you pay for it, I'll go to Zhang Luo for you after dinner." Uncle Cousin saw that Yan Jiecheng didn't listen to his persuasion and didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cousin, this big bone is the most nutritious for stewed soup, don't believe it, this bone is more fragrant than meat when stewed."

"Don't fool your cousin, this bone is better than meat." Uncle Cousin said with a look of disbelieving. It's not like he hasn't eaten this bone, and he really doesn't think there's anything to eat.

When my cousin was ready to cook, my cousin opened a bottle of Erguotou brought by Yan Jiecheng and drank it with Yan Jiecheng.

It's not that Yan Jiecheng doesn't want to bring good wine, for the people in the village, it's just a second pot of heads, drinking comfortably.

"Xie Cheng, don't patronize drinking with your cousin and eating some food to see how your cousin is doing." Saying that, my cousin also sandwiched a few pieces of fat for Yan Jiecheng.

"Cousin, you don't have to worry about me, I can still starve myself at your house." Yan Jiecheng really doesn't like to eat big fat, but people clip it for you, so you can only endure it.

………

After drinking and eating, my cousin took a break and drank tea, and then took Yan Jiecheng to the captain's house.

explained Yan Jiecheng's intention to the captain, and when the captain heard that he didn't share the meat, as long as the team members shared the rest, they could still pay a high price, and after thinking about it, he agreed.

After all, according to the price given by Yan Jiecheng, then they can sell the remaining pig heads, pig water, and so on for a lot of money.

In the end, the captain decided to kill the pig in the afternoon, anyway, it can't be bad in winter, and even if it stays for a few days, it won't be fat.

When Yan Jiecheng left, he took away two pig heads, two pairs of pigs into the water, and all the bones of the two pigs.

His cousin also collected hundreds of eggs for him door-to-door, which was still too late, and the previous ones were sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives.
