Early the next morning, after breakfast, the three members of the Qin family drove back to Qinjiatun in a carriage.

Zheng Mu and Zheng Zhendong, after sending the three away, walked home, and Zheng Mu said on the way.

"Third child, the most important thing in our family now is your eldest brother's marriage!

However, you should go to school and help me with my work after school, and you can't delay your studies because of this! ”

"Mom, this... Can you do it yourself? ”

Zheng Zhendong asked suspiciously, and then continued.

"It's really not good, I'll take a few days off, and when my eldest brother gets married, I'll go to school again!"

"No, no, third! You can't delay your studies any longer! ”

After hearing this, Mother Zheng hurriedly stopped her, and then spoke again.

"It's just noon, don't eat at school, take advantage of the lunch break, help me go to a few comrades' homes to deliver invitations, okay? Third! ”

"Okay, I'm riding a bicycle, and it's fast, but whose invitations are they? Mother! Zheng Zhendong hurriedly agreed.

"Who are they, I have to think about it, who are I inviting at home today? Then write the invitation, and tomorrow you start delivering! Zheng Mu thought for a moment and said.

The mother and son said a few more words, and Zheng Zhendong saw that it was not early, so he took Zheng Xinyi to school.

……

After school in the afternoon, Zheng Zhendong, who was in a hurry, hurried home, and asked as soon as he entered the house.

"Mom, how are things going, and how can I help now?"

"Third child, you're back!"

Mother Zheng first asked, and then spoke.

"This morning, I wrote the invitation.

I went out for another trip and bought some dishes for the wedding party, and you see, it's all here! ”

After saying this, Zheng Mu pointed to the corner of the wall and motioned for Zheng Zhendong to take a look.

Zheng Zhendong walked to the corner and squatted down, opened several sacks one by one, and looked at them carefully.

I found that the only vegetables in the sack were radish, potatoes, pumpkin, and winter melon.

I didn't buy much pork, so I couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, you just buy such a small thing, it's too little!

I can't make a few dishes with this little thing!

When the time comes, when relatives and friends come, they see this situation, and they can't laugh at our stinginess when they go back! ”

"Third child, you are not at home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, do you know how expensive the price is now?

The pork has risen to 10,002 pounds (one version of the coin, equal to the second version of 1 yuan 2), it's not easy to buy, do you think I don't want to buy more, it's not that I can't buy it! Mother Zheng said with emotion.

Hearing what Zheng's mother said, Zheng Zhendong remembered that prices have been unstable in recent years because of the war.

In addition, businessmen make trouble and make huge profits, which makes ordinary people have a hard time, prices are expensive, and materials are scarce.

It also laid the groundwork for the issuance of bills in the future.

Thinking of these things, I can't help but worry about the future.

During the disaster, many people died of starvation, although the people in the family were all urban hukou at that time, and there was a ration.

But in a disaster year, it is estimated that it is difficult to guarantee that you drink gruel every day with that little bit of quantitative stuff.

So when Zheng Zhendong thought of this, he planned to start stocking up on things like grain pickles after his eldest brother got married.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to get it after the issuance of a generation of flour tickets next year.

Zheng Zhendong, who was full of thoughts, was shaken by Zheng's mother before he woke up, and then asked quickly.

"What's wrong? Mother! ”

"No, third child, what kind of god are you! I'm talking to you here, I haven't reacted for a long time, what are you thinking? So fascinating! Mother Zheng asked.

"It's nothing, it's not that you just said that pork is not easy to buy, I think of Zhu Dachang next door, Uncle Zhu, isn't it killing pigs for people, why don't you ask him if he can get some!" Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said.

Zheng's mother slapped her head, "Wow! He spoke.

"Tell me about my brain, how did I forget him!

Hurry up, third child, hurry up and see if your little Uncle Zhu is at home.

If you are here, you ask him if he can get more pork, not only your eldest brother will use it when he gets married,

This is about to enter the wax moon, the weather is getting colder and colder, you can buy more to live, buy more, so that you don't have to buy it for the New Year! ”

Zheng Zhendong agreed casually, went out of the house, walked to the Zhu family next door, and asked after knocking on the door when he arrived.

"Uncle Zhu, are you at home? I'm Dongzi next door, and I'm looking for you for something! ”

"It's Dongzi, you just push the door in, the door is not inserted, I'm busy now, I can't open the door for you!" Inside the house, Zhu Dachang answered.

Zheng Zhendong pushed open the door of Zhu's house, and saw Zhu Dachang washing pig intestines, so he spoke.

"Uncle Zhu, I came today to trouble you, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you!"

"You just say, Dongzi, what's the matter? If I can help, you Uncle Zhu and I will definitely have nothing to say! Zhu Dachang rubbed the pig's intestines, and then said briskly.

Hearing Zhu Dachang say this, Zheng Zhendong's heart warmed.

Anyway, people's attitude makes people speechless, and it is not in vain that they have given things to everyone before.

This thought flashed through Zheng Zhendong's mind, and then he spoke.

"That's the case, isn't my eldest brother going to get married in a few days, I'm going to set up a few tables in our courtyard!

But you also know that these days, Dongzi things are not easy to buy and expensive, especially meat products such as pork, which is even more difficult!

Don't you suddenly think that you work in a butcher shop, and I wonder if you can help buy more meat? ”

After listening to Zheng Zhendong's words, Zhu Dachang didn't even think about it, and said directly.

"That is, you come, Dongzi, try it with another person!

Well, I'll ask your boss tomorrow to see if I can give your family more!"

By the way, how much meat do you need? I'll tell you, it's not cheap, you can think about it! ”

When Zheng Zhendong heard that Zhu Dachang could help buy meat, he hurriedly thanked him, and then said.

"Uncle Zhu, if the price is high, the price will be high, who will make my family anxious!

As for how much meat you want, you can take forty or fifty pounds!

Anyway, I can't use it on the day of the wedding banquet, and now I can live in the cold, so I am not afraid of breaking it, so I can save it when I buy it during the New Year!

Besides, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, the price is estimated to rise, not to mention, everyone buys meat, it will definitely be more difficult to buy! ”

"That's okay, Dongzi, I'll help you ask about it when I go to the store tomorrow, I don't think it's a big problem.

Anyway, who is this meat sold to, and if you want so much, you don't have to bargain, and if the boss doesn't agree, it is estimated that he will be a fool! Zhu Dachang said jokingly.

……

The two chatted a few more words, Zheng Zhendong got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, Zhu Dachang took a washed intestine and asked Zheng Zhendong to take it back to eat.

Zheng Zhendong resigned for a long time, and finally had to go home with his intestines.

Banned, embarrassing!
