Chapter 143, Li Meifeng, Fruit (Ask for Subscription)
In August 1962, the summer in the capital, dawn came early.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin went out before dawn.
He hadn't been to Pigeon City for a long time, and he was a little unfamiliar with these places.
There is not much difference from usual, in the pigeon market, there are still many people who sell fine grains, and there are also many people who want to buy coarse grains.
In this case, it should have been the famine of the previous three years, which scared everyone.
Therefore, even if there is no crop failure this summer, the supply and marketing cooperatives have gradually lowered the previous standard of restricting grain purchases and relaxed the grain supply.
People are also more willing to store food for peace of mind.
No one wants to go through the previous three years anymore, it's too hard.
Zhou Jimin has produced a lot of grain, and there is no need to reduce the price, and many people are rushing to buy his coarse grain.
changed a few pigeon markets in a row, and at the same time as shipping, Zhou Jimin also received a lot of strange things.
"Comrade, long time no see."
Zidane appeared, with a teenager with him, and by looking at that face, he knew that it was the other party's son.
It's just carved out of a mold, almost comparable to Zhou Jimin's carving art.
"Long time no see, what are you going to buy today?"
The other party can be regarded as an old friend of Zhou Jimin in Pigeon City.
He came here to the pigeon market purely to try his luck, but he didn't expect to meet each other by chance.
"Comrade, is it okay as usual?"
Zidane has always shouted poverty, but after a few years of trading, this guy still has gold antiques.
It seems to be bottomless.
"Yes, I'll see you at the old place at ten o'clock in the evening."
Zhou Jimin doesn't ink either, and he's not afraid that the other party will pit him.
The old place is near Zidane's house, how dare you pit Zhou Jimin?
I don't even know where Zhou Jimin lives and what his name is.
What's more, Zhou Jimin left them an elusive impression, which was too profound.
"Thank you, thank you, can that amount be doubled?"
Zidane was excited, and at the same time asked cautiously.
The population of his family has increased a lot, and his son married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a big fat grandson.
The import of Tianding is a happy event.
However, the burden of life has only increased.
So we have to find a way to solve the food problem.
"Double, I'll give you a letter in the evening."
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Jimin gave an ambiguous answer.
But in Zidane's ears, it was the best news.
After all, there is no refusal, that is, it is possible to agree.
Otherwise, it is directly rejected.
Looking at the back of Zidane leaving, Zhou Jimin pondered for a while, and then continued to wander around.
After a while, he saw someone selling bananas, which startled him.
What's going on?
The land under your feet is the capital, and the big bananas in the south have been transported here?
Despite the banana season in summer, the capital is too far away from the south.
Even if you cut down the unripe bananas and then hurry up and take the train north to the capital, when you arrive, the bananas are all ripe, right?
In the south, before banana cultivation was on a large scale, and before the use of technology began, it was really difficult.
"How do you sell bananas?"
When I asked the price, it was not cheap, it cost seven cents a catty.
Is it so expensive?
The banana seller said directly, this is an authentic southern banana, look at the size, how big?
Zhou Jimin was speechless, bananas can indeed be grown in the capital, but can that thing be eaten?
So bananas weren't shipped from the south, where else could they be?
It looks very pleasing and good-looking, but Zhou Jimin just didn't buy it.
He doesn't have too much space, why buy this?
As soon as it was dawn, he went to the pigeon market on the other side and set up a stall to sell bananas.
The price is very low, only four cents a pound.
If you have money or not, you are willing to buy a fresh.
Compared with other people's bananas, the bananas sold by Zhou Jimin are more beautiful and attractive.
I didn't sell watermelons because I didn't have any stock.
In 62 Town, he often eats by himself, but he didn't expect to return to the capital suddenly, so he didn't have much stock at all.
It didn't take long for the bananas to run out.
In this era, the business of selling grain is too easy to do.
When he returned home, he carried two large baskets.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the flat shoulder is very curved, the basket is very heavy, and there are many things in it.
Zhou Qingxian, who got up early, rushed into her parents' room, didn't see her father, and cried directly.
"Did Dad sneak away again?"
Children are like this, happy things can't be remembered, but sad things can be remembered for a long time.
On Chinese New Year's Eve a year ago, she remembered it very well.
"What are you crying about? Your dad will be back later. β
Ding Qiunan couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly coaxed, and had to take care of Xiaoliang in his sleep.
If he's woken up, that's the problem.
As a result, Zhou Qingyi and Xiao Budian also ran out, and they didn't see their father crying.
It gave Ding Qiunan a headache.
"Mom, you lied to me, I want Dad ......"
At the door, Zhou Jimin put down his things and ran in, just heard this sentence, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"What did Mom lie to you? Crying again in the morning? β
"Daddy!"
The three little guys cried and pounced, and Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes.
"Good girl, Dad is here, Dad didn't leave, don't cry."
Hugging the three of them, Zhou Jimin was funny, touched and distressed.
It's all his heart, and he doesn't want to leave.
When they had cried enough, Zhou Jimin was ready to make breakfast.
But before he left, they pulled him by the corner of his clothes.
I can't really do anything about them.
In the kitchen, Huang Xiaohua is preparing the ingredients.
I said it last night, he will make breakfast today, what Huang Xiaohua needs to do is to help and do auxiliary work.
There are so many types of breakfasts, from south to north.
For Zhou Jimin, the most familiar thing he is with is, of course, Cantonese refreshments.
No way, he stayed in Baiyun for many years before he got married in his previous life, and he always went to have morning tea every once in a while, and he got used to it.
Of course, the breakfast I want to make today is definitely not Cantonese refreshments.
They often eat this thing, little goldfish.
Whether it is lotus paste dim sum, shrimp dumplings, phoenix feet, etc., or siu mai, rice rolls, soup and river noodles, etc., they are often made and eaten at home, and Zhou Qingxian's three little guys are definitely no strangers.
"Xiaohua, is the toast dough fermented well?"
Toast needs to be fermented twice, and if it is only fermented once, it needs to be eaten as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the toast that is fermented at one time is easy to age quickly, and it is easy to dry out, and it will not taste good.
Of course, there are several kinds of toast made for breakfast today, so you need two kinds of toast.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, can I cut shredded potatoes now?"
Huang Xiaohua is worthy of being a little expert in work, and in terms of housework, it is definitely the kind that everyone gives a thumbs up and praises when they see it.
"Yes, remember to cut it delicately, and don't cut it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qingxian also admonished beside him:
"Aunt Xiaohua, listen to your father, don't cut your little hands, it will hurt."
"Okay, Xiaohuagu knows, you get out of the way, Xiaohuagu is going to start chopping vegetables."
Seeing their conversation, Zhou Jimin did not feel very naΓ―ve, but felt very warm.
Children grow up slowly by imitating their parents.
He's also getting busy.
It's just that as soon as he took out the blueberries, Xiao Budian and Xiaoyi came up, "Dad, what is this, it's so fragrant, isn't it good?" β
Needless to say, just looking at their saliva expressions, Zhou Jimin knew that they were greedy.
"Did you brush your teeth? Didn't rush to brush your teeth. β
When the three little ones heard this, they ran away and consciously ran to get a toothbrush to brush their teeth.
The fourth child had already gotten up, came to the kitchen door, and asked him what his eldest brother had eaten this morning?
"Six flavors of toast, shredded potato omelettes, and specialty finger cakes."
The so-called special finger cake is actually (Taiwan) finger cake.
It's just that in this era, I can't say that.
Hearing his eldest brother's words, the fourth child looked confused, and he couldn't understand anything.
What is toast bread?
Also six flavors?
Shredded potatoes are a dish, right? Do it with eggs?
The last special finger cake, the fourth child is even more incomprehensible, how to do it? What are the raw materials?
Forgive him for his ignorance, and the knowledge of these foods is really precious.
It's normal not to know.
It is estimated that Zhou Jimin can play these tricks, even if the chef of the Beijing Hotel, it is estimated that he is not so full of tricks.
The scarcity of ingredients limits the imagination.
It didn't take long for the three little ones to wash up and run back to the kitchen, staring at the blueberries.
Zhou Jimin fed one of them a blueberry, but they all disliked it too sour, so they didn't want it.
Then Zhou Jimin grabbed a handful by himself and ate it all.
"It's delicious, you won't eat it, sweet and sour is the best."
Then he put all the blueberries directly in a glass bowl and began to crush them as blueberry jam.
Ga!
Seeing that the blueberries were gone, and they couldn't eat them if they wanted to, the three little guys suddenly became anxious.
I also wanted to use my hands to grab it in the glass bowl, but was blocked by Zhou Jimin.
"Do you like to eat?"
The little guy nodded again and again, his eyes full of longing.
"Go and bring the basket over there."
On the other side of the kitchen, under the corner of the wall was a basket of wood oranges.
Zhou Qingxian and Zhou Qingyi, the two little guys, joined hands and lifted the basket over with a snort.
Open the lid and look, hey, isn't this a blueberry?
It's delicious!
They all grabbed a handful, one bite at a time, and ate with relish.
However, Zhou Jimin didn't let them eat much.
The little kid's hand, grabbing a handful, is just two or three blueberries.
Dad didn't let me eat so much, but they didn't listen and giggled.
Amid the laughter, time flies.
Soon, breakfast was ready.
There's a lot of tricks.
There are several kinds of toast bread alone, what cheese baked sun eggs, what popping blueberry toast, etc.
There's nothing to say about the shredded potato omelette, anyway, it's fried and crispy, and it's very appetizing to watch.
The finger cakes are also not bad, made with a few slices of lettuce, tomato, eggs, bacon, etc., with a special sauce.
For example, ketchup, blueberry jam, etc., whatever you like, you can add what you like.
"Big brother is so delicious!"
Little goldfish have never been resistant to food.
While eating today, I didn't forget to give a good review.
"How do you speak? I don't have good food, these breakfasts are delicious. β
Ha ha!
Everyone didn't think that the little goldfish said the wrong thing, but when Zhou Jimin explained it like this, it seemed that he really said the wrong thing.
Ding Qiunan is very satisfied, there is a man in the family and there is no man, it is really completely different.
Not to mention, the three little kids are now following their dad all the time, and they don't have to worry about her, so they're very comfortable.
Ding Qiunan, who did not have the life of the eldest lady, was stunned by Zhou Jimin and spoiled some of the eldest lady's illnesses.
Before she met Zhou Jimin, where would she have the idea of enjoying life?
Of course, going to work in the hospital is just her dream, and it has nothing to do with diligence.
After breakfast, Zhou Jimin wanted to go out to do something, and the three little guys would follow whatever they said.
It's frustrating.
Can you get him to do something?
There was no way, he had to accompany the three little ones first, and when they were sleepy and asleep, he was going out.
So he led them to a nearby garden.
Ding Qiunan, who took leave, also followed.
The third child didn't go out either, so the family went out to play together.
The Summer Palace is a beautiful garden with beautiful scenery.
I've been here many times, but every time I come here, I feel different.
In the capital in August, the temperature is always high and hot.
Standing in the corridor of the Summer Palace, blowing the wind, it is not bad.
was a little unexpected, and I met Fan Zhaodi.
"You guys come and visit the garden, too."
Fan Zhaodi was really surprised, she hadn't seen Zhou Jimin for a long time, and when she met now, she was still so shy.
Her man is also there, and there is no smell on her body, so she is probably washed, right?
The other party's hands are full of calluses, which is a medal of merit for life.
"Who is she?"
Looking at Li Meifeng, who was chatting happily with Zhou Qingxian, Zhou Jimin asked with a smile.
He had some impressions of this woman.
I quickly found out from my memory, I had met twice in the rolling mill before and when I first went to find Fan Zhaodi.
"She's our neighbor, and we just had a break today, so we went out for a walk."
Ding Qiunan, who was holding the child, was also a little strange, and whispered to Zhou Jimin:
"Jimin, why do I always feel that this person has some purpose? And Xiaoxian is a bit like her. β
Airplanes!
Her reminder made Zhou Jimin guess a little.
If there is no accident, Li Meifeng in front of her should be Zhou Qingxian's biological mother.
However, he did not intend to debunk the matter.
and beckoned, calling Zhou Qingxian back.
Thinking about how pitiful Zhou Qingxian was at the beginning, in the cold weather, she was abandoned on the edge of the trash can, only covered by a red scarf.
Li Meifeng in front of her is really ruthless!
Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, let alone people?
No matter what the other party's last resort reason, Zhou Jimin didn't plan to continue to let the other party contact Zhou Qingxian.
"Xiaoxian, how did you meet this aunt?"
"When Aunt Jingru took us to play at the door before, we met each other."
Zhou Jimin's expression remained unchanged, but he already had a guess in his heart.
No wonder half a year ago, before he took Qin Jingru to the island in the south, the latter also talked about her friend Li Meifeng.
It seems that the woman in front of her is Li Meifeng.
Li Meifeng can understand Zhou Jimin's vigilance, but she can't stay away from Zhou Qingxian.
On the upwind side of the Summer Palace, the two looked at each other more than a meter apart.
"I know your name is Li Meifeng, and I know your purpose for wanting to get close to Xiaoxian."
"But no matter what, I don't want you to continue to disturb Xiaoxian's life."
"As early as that cold winter in 59, you had already abandoned Xiaoxian."
"Since you chose not to let Xiaoxian appear in your life force, then please leave now."
Li Meifeng was not surprised, and even nodded a little calmly.
She knows that Zhou Jimin is a genius who can do things that many people can't.
Therefore, she didn't plan to go against Zhou Jimin.
But if you want her to give up completely, she can't do it.
Zhou Jimin finally took a serious look at the other party, and then turned to leave.
He didn't care what the other party planned, since he said to keep her away, he would definitely take measures.
"What did you talk to her about?"
When she returned to Ding Qiunan's side, she asked curiously.
It's not a taste, it's just pure curiosity.
"It's to keep her away from Xiaoxian, and pay more attention when she takes the child out in the future."
Ding Qiunan shook his head, "If she is really Xiaoxian's biological mother, do you think she will give up?" β
"If she dares to continue to get close to Xiaoxian, then I will take measures."
Snorted coldly, Zhou Jimin's face was slightly ugly:
"Xiaoxian is my own birth with you, and it's not easy for anyone to come."
Want to pick peaches? I want to eat it!
He doesn't do stupid things like a second warning, as long as he doesn't listen to the first warning, he will take action the second time.
Seeing that he was so domineering, Ding Qiunan shook his head and didn't say anything.
The family walked around the yard for a day, and when they came home in the afternoon, Zhou Jimin said to the little goldfish:
"Hurry up and review your homework, take the exam on time in two days, if you don't get a perfect score, then you don't want to skip a grade when school starts in September, and continue to study in the third grade."
The matter of skipping a grade to read is something that I said before.
It just so happened that Zhou Jimin came back, so he was responsible for this matter.
"Okay, big brother, don't worry."
The little goldfish swears, and the two sisters, Pandi and Laidi, are also very confident.
The three of them went to school together, although the little goldfish was smarter, but the two sisters were not much worse, not to mention that the two of them were more diligent and hardworking than the little goldfish.
Zhou Jimin also felt that it was not a big problem for them to pass the exam.
But there should be from the exam, or not less.
After all, skipping a grade is not a good thing in itself.
But their strength is enough, so there is no need to waste an extra year.
After the advice, Zhou Jimin planned to go out, but was seen by Xiao Budian.
"Daddy, where are you going? Would you like to bring me with you? β
"Dad is going out, can you wait at home for Dad to come back for dinner?"
"Okay, then Dad, you must come back, my eldest sister and second sister are waiting for you at home."
"That's good."
When he came out of the house, he could still see Xiao Budian waving at him when he looked back, and he almost couldn't hold back.
A couple of little guys are just too clingy.
In fact, he blamed him for the Chinese New Year's Eve trip, which made them cry for a long time, of course, remembering this matter.
Red Star Company, before getting off work, Zhou Jimin finally rushed over.
The security section standing guard at the gate has been replaced.
Over the years, the rolling mill has changed dramatically.
The area is still so large, but there are many warehouses and office buildings in the factory area.
Rows and rows, very spectacular.
I came here today to investigate who canceled Zhou Shuqing's job in the first place.
"Lao Liang, long time no see."
In the first laboratory, at the door of the office, by coincidence, I met Director Liang, who I hadn't seen for a long time.
In today's Red Star Company, the only one he is familiar with and can help with is probably Lao Liang.
Meng Xiaoxing's position is not high, and it is not a leadership position, so it does not have much effect.
Besides, Lao Meng's personality is more pure than Lao Liang's technical nerd, the kind that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Jimin, are you back?"
Lao Liang was instantly pleasantly surprised when he saw Zhou Jimin, and hurriedly dragged the latter into the office.
The rest of the lab looked at each other curiously.
Zhou Jimin glanced at it, and he couldn't see half of the familiar figure.
It seems that the entire First Laboratory has really undergone a major change.
The various types of machines he saw alone were several times more than before, and even many of them were of foreign brands.
In such a scene, it must be that the first laboratory has created a lot of profits for Red Star Company, otherwise, how could the leaders above be so generous?
When the door was closed, Lao Liang was subtle and polite, talked about the recent situation of Red Star Company, and wanted to know about Zhou Jimin's situation.
At the same time, he also talked about his sister-in-law Xu Mei and asked Zhou Jimin if he knew what the situation was?
"What's wrong with her? I haven't seen her in a long time. β
Zhou Jimin, who pretended to be stupid, still has good acting skills.
But he was not wrong, he really hadn't seen anyone for more than half a year.
But Lao Liang and his wife Xu Li haven't seen anyone for more than a year.
And half a year ago, I hurriedly left a letter to the factory leaders and left.
There is no shortage of things at home, but no one lives there.
"What the hell happened to her? Why didn't you say hello and leave? β
Seeing Lao Liang's long sigh, Zhou Jimin secretly muttered, but he couldn't say it, so he would say goodbye.
Even when Xu Mei was pregnant with a baby before, she didn't see anyone around her.
After all, like Xu Li and Lao Liang, they are both experienced people, and they can see at a glance that Xu Mei has a big belly, not getting fat.
Some lies can deceive outsiders, but they can't deceive their own people.
After skipping this topic, Lao Liang suddenly took out the drawings and asked Zhou Jimin for advice.
The latter was speechless, and he knew that it was not so simple to find Lao Liang to do something.
Just now, I should have explained my intention to the other party directly.
picked up the drawings and looked at them, Zhou Jimin didn't waste time, and explained directly to Lao Liang.
Then, the conversation lasted more than half an hour.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Zhou Jimin hurriedly explained his intention and asked Lao Liang to help.
The latter also did not contain a lake and went out immediately.
When the workers outside were off work, Lao Liang did not come back.
Just when Zhou Jimin was waiting impatiently and wanted to go out to find someone, Lao Liang finally came back.
The news brought back was that someone took money to buy Zhou Shuqing's job opportunity, saying that there was also Zhou Shuqing's signed authorization document, which was reasonable and legal.
It's an unwritten rule.
The buying and selling of jobs is something that cannot be said in the open.
It's normal to buy and sell.
Lao Liang guessed that the authorization document should be forged, but the money was real.
In this regard, Zhou Jimin said that he understood, and then asked for his name clearly, and left.
It seems that the other party is not a brainless person, and he is quite particular about doing things.
It's just not to do good things, to do the dirty things of these pit people.
If you don't teach a lesson, do you really think that Lord Ma is blind?
Now that I'm off work, I'll go home for dinner first.
When I got home, there were a lot of people at the door, as well as big dogs.
The two sisters, Little Goldfish and Pandi, sat on a small stool to read and review, and the three little ones squatted on the side, bored and looked down the street.
Looks like they're waiting for someone.
As for who to wait for, don't you need to ask?
When Zhou Jimin appeared on the street corner, she happened to be seen by the sleepy bug, and she immediately shouted in surprise:
"Daddy, it's Daddy's back."
While shouting, he also ran on his short legs.
I don't know if I was too happy, and I fell down, which made Zhou Jimin feel bad.
Zhou Qingxian and Xiao Budian, who were a few beats slower, hurriedly helped her up, Zhou Jimin had already arrived.
"It didn't hurt, did you?"
The little guy was strong, shaking his head and saying it didn't hurt, but tears were flowing down.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Zhou Jimin, who instantly turned into a daddy, hurriedly coaxed.
I looked at the places where the little guy might have been bruised, and found that there was no accident, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the little goldfish and they also came.
"Why did you all run to the door? Can't you read at home? β
"They want to see you come back as soon as possible, so they have been waiting at the door, and my sister-in-law shouted that they won't come back."
Hearing the words of the little goldfish, Zhou Jimin was speechless for a long time.
"Let's go home."
The neighbor's child watched from afar.
originally wanted to continue to make money, but as soon as Zhou Jimin came, all the big dogs ran away.
There was no big dog to give them a stroke, so I had to look at the big dog and sigh.
After entering the door, Zhou Jimin asked Wangcai their questions.
The big dog in the family is generally reluctant to be touched by outsiders.
Zhou Jimin hadn't noticed it before, but he just found out about it.
From the mouth of the little goldfish, Zhou Jimin knew that it was because of Zhou Qingxian and the three little guys.
In order to satisfy the curiosity of the neighbors, the three little guys grabbed Wangcai and let them masturbate.
It's just just making friends, do you need to please outsiders like this?
Xiao Budian argued that they taught the eldest sister and the second sister to play skipping rope, and there were other games such as throwing stones, which was fun.
The innocent friendship of the little kids is really pure and simple.
It's not an equivalent exchange, but fortunately, they didn't do anything amazing.
If they directly use the snacks at home to please their little friends, Zhou Jimin really has to say a few words to them.
At dinner, Zhou Jimin chatted with Ding Qiunan about children's education.
Huang Xiaohua was also asked, which startled her.
She didn't know that, and shook her head again and again to say that she couldn't.
But Ding Qiunan smiled and said, Look at your younger brothers and sisters, aren't they all educated by you very well?
There was no way, Huang Xiaohua had to chat a few words.
To sum up, it is a stick out of filial piety.
In fact, their children, in addition to Huang Xiaohua and Huang Zhaodi's two sisters, are doing well, and they also have a lot to do with their family's situation.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to be a person who has never been poor, and he will always be naΓ―ve without going through the world.
Their family has undergone drastic changes, and their parents have died, which is a natural and man-made disaster, which is the easiest thing for people to grow up overnight.
In addition, their family is also very poor, and it is uncomfortable when they are hungry.
If it weren't for Zhou Jimin reaching out, it would be hard to say whether the few small ones in their family would have grown up healthy and healthy.
"Nan Nan, don't be too tired from your work in the future, take a good rest when you should rest. Take the kids out for a walk when you have time. β
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Jimin suggested:
"It's really not good, you go through the procedures for leave without pay first, and then you go back to work when I come back, how about it?"
There are many children in the family, and Huang Xiaohua alone may not be able to live with it.
The mother-in-law also wants to take her grandson, and she is not very willing to live in the Zhou family.
After all, there was no way before, but now that my mother-in-law also has a grandson, it is really not like to live with my daughter and son-in-law.
There is also the old man who will have opinions.
"Well, okay, then I'll write an application tomorrow."
Ding Qiunan was a little reluctant, but he still knew the priorities.
Anyway, there is really no shortage of her salary at home, so there is no need to work tirelessly.
"Thank you for your hard work."
patted her hand, and as soon as Zhou Jimin finished speaking, he saw that the little dot next to him was also doing the same, and directly amused him and Ding Qiunan.
"You're not afraid that your mother will beat you?"
"Mommy won't beat me, because Daddy will protect me."
"Little one, you're such a clever little ghost."
The two sisters next to them tasted it, and they also needed their father's praise.
The little kid just likes to join in the fun, and everything has to be fair.
After playing around for a while, a TV series was playing on the TV, and Xiao Budian suddenly asked a question:
"Dad, why don't you call your mother your wife? What else is a wife? Why don't I have a wife? β
Everyone immediately burst out laughing, how old is the little kid, do you think about these questions?
"Little one, your dad will send you a wife, don't worry."
The words of the fourth child made everyone laugh even happier.
Ding Qiunan glared at the fourth child, turned his head and said to Xiao Budian:
"Don't listen to your fourth uncle, he lied to you."
Zhou Jimin looked at the fourth child, motioned to you kid to learn, and then looked at Ding Qiunan and Xiao Budian and said:
"Little one, you want to know what a wife is, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
It's not just the little ones, everyone else wants to know.
Even Huang Xiaohua pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Zhou Jimin explained.
"Actually, it's very simple, the wife actually starts from the old moon and ends with Meng Po, so she is called a wife."
The little kid didn't understand it very well, but Ding Qiunan, the third and fourth children all understood.
Yue Lao and Meng Po, they all know what kind of characters they are.
The former is a red thread that introduces marriage to people; The latter is a character in the underworld before reincarnation, with a folk tale of Meng Po Tang.
Huang Xiaohua felt that Brother Zhou was really romantic, and this love story was one after another, and he was too good at saying it.
The fourth child felt that he had learned, and he didn't eat anymore, so he turned around and ran back to his room and recorded this sentence.
A good memory is better than a bad pen, and he has always practiced this sentence.
The little goldfish suddenly opened her mouth and asked her eldest brother:
"Big brother, does that husband start from the old moon and end with Lei Gong?"
Ding Qiunan and Huang Xiaohua burst into laughter instantly, but Zhou Jimin's face was as black as ink, and he ran out after the little goldfish.
At night, Zidane took his son and kept looking at the door of the door, waiting anxiously.
Expect a knock on the door.
Outside the door, Zhou Jimin had already arrived.
He first walked around the circle, and after confirming that there was no danger, he waited near the door of Zidane's house.
Said to be punctual, that must not be in advance.
When the time came, he knocked on the door.
Zidane, who was inside, jumped up in an instant, hurriedly ran to the door, and asked in a low voice: Who?
"The sound of wind and rain in the night."
The bull's question and answer made Zidane quite happy and hurriedly opened the door.
When a normal person is asked who it is, they either subconsciously answer that it is me, or they introduce themselves and so on.
There are almost no people who come to his house at night, but what if they are wearing official clothes?
So, it's normal to be cautious.
After coming in, Zhou Jimin did not delay time, and when he was about to speak, he found that there were many people in Zidane's house.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, Zida chuckled in his heart and hurriedly explained:
"Comrade, they are all here in our previous transactions, and it is not the first time that they are trusted."
After staring at each other for a while, Zhou Jimin nodded slowly.
Believe it or not, it should be the last transaction anyway.
It is now the summer of '62, and the famine years have completely passed.
From next year, it is estimated that these people will no longer be able to stock up on such large quantities of grain.
After all, by that time, there was a lot of food on the market.
What's more, Zhou Jimin doesn't stay in the capital much now, and it is not wrong to say that it is the last time to trade with these old and young people.
"Let's talk about it first, I want to make sure, do you need to double the amount of food?"
The group of people nodded again and again, and Zidane even said that there is no need to worry about payment, they have prepared gold and antiques, and they will definitely make you satisfied.
"Isn't there a bumper harvest this year? Aren't you afraid of moldy grain? β
Regarding Zhou Jimin's words, Zidane said that they were hungry and afraid, and they had food at home so that they could not panic.
"Comrade, you don't have to worry about our regrets, after the transaction is completed, it has nothing to do with you. We can handle it. β
Zida thought in his heart, just their group of old and young, the food doubled, and it wouldn't take long to build.
Like their family, if they have two more mouths, they have to consume a lot of food every day.
It's not okay to just get in and out, so Zidane has already arranged a job for his son.
You can't do it without a job.
As for whether his son would like to do it or not?
The grandchildren are all born, and you still don't want to go to work?
Seeing them say this, Zhou Jimin also nodded, which is good.
Just enough to clear a batch of grain that has been stored for a long time and exchange it for some antiques and gold.
In particular, when I ran to the southern island a few years ago, I directly consumed a lot of money because I bought a villa on the top of the mountain.
In addition, he also left a lot of family funds for Xu Mei and them to facilitate their life on the island.
I don't know if they have adapted to life over there, whether they have bought real estate and become charter wives.
On the island, the best business to do is to be a charter wife.
Especially those street-facing houses in Central, you can just buy the whole building.
After signing the contract, pay the rent on an annual or semi-annual basis, which is worry-free and trouble-free.
"Remember my rules, right?"
When Zidane heard this, he hurriedly smiled and made a gesture inviting Zhou Jimin to go inside.
When I came to the room, sure enough, there were already a lot of treasures inside, and there was a lot of gold.
With so many precious things, Zhou Jimin couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.
The original shrinking gold inventory can now rise a lot.
The golden color is like the golden wheat in the autumn field, which is the color of the harvest.
According to the rules, collect the money first and then give the goods.
After accepting the gold, Zhou Jimin began to accept the antiques.
has had many trading experiences, and Zidane and his group also know Zhou Jimin quite well, as long as there are treasures and boutiques, tattered things are useless at all.
After checking them one by one, Zhou Jimin accepted all the orders, and then left Zidane's house, and in less than ten minutes, the door knocked again.
"There's too much food, we've sent it to a dilapidated house nearby that no one is around, so hurry up and get the food away."
Thousands of catties of grain, transportation is a big problem.
Their group had been prepared for a long time, and as before, they were all out as a family.
"Comrade, what about my family?"
Zidane was a little worried, but he didn't expect Zhou Jimin to grin, pointed to the shadow not far away, and said:
"Hurry up, no more, no less, exactly a thousand catties of coarse grain, good luck to you."
Looking at the back of Zhou Jimin leaving, Zidane's son was a little worried, and hurriedly ran to the shadows to check.
A simple count shows that this thousand catties of grain is only a lot more.
A total of twenty-one sacks were contained, each sack at least fifty pounds.
As a result, they carried them home, and after weighing, they exclaimed.
Each bag is not fifty catties, but fifty-five catties!
In other words, Zhou Jimin gave them an extra 155 catties.
Daintily!
Zhou Jimin, who has a thick wallet, is in a particularly beautiful mood.
I got home and got some sleep.
Before dawn, I got up again and went out to work.
Where Liu Datou and Zhao Youcai lived, Zhou Jimin had already inquired clearly.
Now it's time to visit one or two.
As a result, he went in the dark, but no one was found in the thermal imager.
Zhou Jimin, who was still not giving up, thought that he was blocked by something, so he went directly into the house, and the result was obvious, there was really no one.
Gotta run for nothing.
"Damn
It's not like these two people are running away with the money, right? β
Suddenly remembering the family situation of these two people, Zhou Jimin's face became extremely ugly.
Liu Datou has no father, and only one old mother is at home.
Zhao Youcai has no parents, he was brought up by his grandfather.
Such a family, if the two of them really run away, it is normal.
Who has nothing to embarrass two lonely old people?
I'm not afraid of being poked!
If this is the case, then it is really difficult for Zhou Jimin to find Liu Datou and Zhao Youcai.
After all, if you want to find someone in this era, you can only rely on visiting and asking, and of course he can't ask like this, this method is too stupid, not suitable for him, and should not be done by him.
This matter has to be done by the neighborhood office or the police station.
"Stay for two days, if you don't show up again, the labor and management will pretend to be your family members, report your disappearance to the police station, and let the public security find you out."
After thinking about it, there was only this way.
Anyway, in the vast sea of people, let him go to find someone, that is impossible.
Leaving Liu Datou and their house, Zhou Jimin looked at the sky, and then went to the pigeon market again.
It's not much different from yesterday, but there are a lot of rich local tyrants.
The difference can be seen from the dress, those rich people basically have no patches on their bodies, although they are very simple gray military pants and tunics, but they are obviously very different from other comrades who wear patches.
Of course, this is the characteristic of this era.
People who have jobs basically don't wear patch clothes.
Because the factory will issue uniforms every year, there are some special types of work, and there are several sets of uniforms every year.
Not to mention the cadres, a rich person like Lou Jizhong can't pretend to be poor.
No, there are a few rich people who wear patched clothes, and when they look closer, the clothes are of good quality, and it is estimated that they have not been worn for long.
Even if you've been wearing it for a while, it doesn't look like a white-washed garment.
"Hello comrade, I want to ask, are there any bananas for sale today?"
"You're all late, there were a lot of bananas yesterday, and they are gone today."
The conversation that happened to be heard made Zhou Jimin surprised, what is the situation?
Glancing at the disappointed rich man, Zhou Jimin turned around and left the pigeon market.
After a few minutes he changed his clothes and took on the form of an ordinary salesman, carrying two large baskets and walking towards the pigeon market.
Since bananas are so popular, other fruits should be similar, right?
Lychee and longan, these two are delicious fruits, and they must be able to sell at a price.
"Comrade, what are you selling?"
Not long after entering the pigeon market, Zhou Jimin was stopped.
He didn't speak, and directly lifted the straw covering the dragon's eye, revealing the dragon's eye with leaves inside.
Hiss!
The man gasped, genuinely shocked.
Obediently in the middle of winter, such a fresh longan, watery, very full and round, it is very attractive to look at.
It was like it had just been plucked from the tree, so fresh.
"Hello comrade, how do you sell this longan? I want to buy them all. β
Even in the south, you may not be able to eat such a fresh longan.
As for how the other party transported it, there are rules in the pigeon market, and you don't have to ask what you shouldn't ask.
Coming here is pure trading, everyone knows it.
If you get to the bottom of it, people will directly throw their faces at you, and you can't say anything.
After so many years of development, there are several people at each exit of the pigeon market.
It's just the fear that someone will destroy it.
"You? Bought them all? β
Zhou Jimin glanced at each other up and down, and then took away the straw on the big basket containing lychees next to him.
The other party was directly dumbfounded.
This season, why is there such a beautiful lychee?
And it's huge, about the size of a baby's fist, and it's bright and bright red.
didn't say anything, just put out these two baskets of fruits, and the other party stopped talking.
But there were a lot of people next to him, and these people were even more straightforward, and they asked for how many catties they wanted.
Bao Yuan's words are too offensive and hateful.
"Two cents a pound!"
This price is very expensive, in the era when pork is only three cents a pound, this price is too expensive.
No matter how expensive it is, someone will always buy it.
Besides, this price is not sold to ordinary people at all.
Just like the sky-high prices of watermelons, Qingwang and other fruits in later generations, ordinary people have never even heard of it, the same reason.
Although the price control in this era is very strict, isn't there still a pigeon market?
You can't say it all in one word!
The price of two cents was still robbed like crazy.
Zhou Jimin didn't expect this thing to be so popular.
When it was all sold, he left with the basket.
It was already dawn, and instead of continuing to sell fruit, he went home.
Unlike yesterday morning, when I got home today, the three little ones were brushing their teeth.
While washing, I discussed, and waited at the door to wait for my father to come back.
Unbeknownst to them, their father had already appeared in the hallway.
"You don't have to wait for Dad, Dad won't come back."
"Liar, Dad said...... Ah, Daddy! β
"Stop, my little face is dirty, I haven't washed my face, have you? Don't rub my clothes, oops, Daddy's clothes are dirty......"
For a moment, the yard was filled with laughter.
When the little ones saw the two fruits, lychee and longan, they didn't want to eat breakfast.
was glared at by their mother, and immediately put down the lychee.
"Hey, big brother, how is this lychee seedless?"
The little goldfish, like the little guinea pig, picked up the lychee and nibbled on it.
The third and fourth children and Huang Xiaohua were also sharing on the side, so anxious that Zhou Qingxian and the others hurriedly shouted Don't eat it all, leave some for us.
Zhou Jimin touched their brains and gave them advice, asking them to take the lychees to the refrigerator and refrigerate them, so that they could eat them in the middle of the morning.
They were very obedient and did so.
Laughing and watching them play, Zhou Jimin said to the little goldfish:
"Isn't it better to be nuclear-free?"
The fruit is seedless, and it is not all technology and ruthlessness.
Most of the lychee varieties grown in the space come from small islands in the south.
"It's delicious, uh-huh, thank you, big brother."
"Don't thank me, I'll review well when I'm full, and I'll take the exam tomorrow."
"Okay, we got it, promise it's okay."
At noon, Zhou Jimin personally cooked, making roast duck, fried chicken and French fries, as well as soft drinks for the three little ones.
I went out to walk around the garden yesterday, and today I finally have time.
"Xiaoxian, you all go farther, don't burn you."
In the kitchen, oil is boiling in the pot, and the temperature of the oil is rising, and it is easy to have an accident.
So children can't be around, even Zhou Jimin wears aprons and sleeves, just to prevent being splashed by the hot oil.
"Dad, you have to be careful."
Zhou Jimin nodded at them, and when they were farther away, he began to make fried chicken.
Although fried chicken and fries are junk food, it can't be denied that they taste really good.
The air was filled with a strong fragrance, and the little goldfish reading in the study, as well as the fourth child who wanted to write something, couldn't sit still.
It's so fragrant!
Obviously, I just ate a lot of lychees and longan, and I wasn't hungry, but I just wanted to eat it.
So, the windows and doors of the kitchen are full of little goldfish.
"Big brother, when can I eat it?"
"Wait a little longer."
replied to the little goldfish, Zhou Jimin asked Huang Xiaohua, how is the sauce made?
How can you eat fried chicken without soul dipping sauce?
Tomato sauce is just the basic standard, blueberry jam and other must-haves, as well as sesame seeds and peanut butter, which are the favorites of the people of Beijing.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, I'm waiting for your fried chicken and fries now."
"Okay, take it out of the living room and eat!"
As soon as he announced this, Zhou Qingxian and the others immediately cheered.
PS: Ask for a monthly pass!
