At about two o'clock, Aunt Zhang told them the location of the melon seller, and Jiang Nanzhou took her to the small square on a bicycle.

This small square is not far from the nearby farmers' market, and people come to play in the small square one after another.

At a glance, the two saw a middle-aged man pushing a frame car, followed by a half-grown boy, the two looked like father and son, and there were many people around in front of their frame car.

As soon as the two of them walked to the place, they came to their faces with the smell of melons, and Jiang Nanzhou asked, "Brother, how do you sell melons?" ”

The middle-aged man beckoned: "Three cents a catty, home-grown, can't eat it all, this melon has a lot of cow dung, it's big and sweet." ”

Jiang Nanzhou and Lu Jingqiu looked at each other and smiled, they naturally knew that it was delicious, otherwise they wouldn't have come over: "Bring us a small half bag." Jiang Nanzhou said, taking out a woven bag from the car.

The middle-aged man didn't expect them to ask for so much, his face was happy, and he hurriedly beckoned his son to dress them up.

Half a bag of melons, a total of more than 30 catties, spent more than a dollar, it is more convenient not to have a ticket.

Jiang Nanzhou tied the mouth of the bag, put it on the front beam, and said, "Let's go and send some to my mother and eldest brother." ”

"Okay."

Jiang Nanzhou rode to his eldest brother's house, and his sister-in-law's school was in the city center, some distance from Shen's house, but not far from the Education Bureau.

It is also convenient for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to go to work, their yard is a small courtyard house, three main rooms, two ear rooms, one each of the east and west wings, nothing else, not very big, but compared to that kind of miscellaneous courtyard, it has been a lot more relaxed, a few years ago, the child is the sister-in-law's mother is helping to take care of it, this year just went to the kindergarten of the staff to go to school, because the sister-in-law school is not on time, so the eldest brother picks up the children.

When they passed, the sister-in-law had just finished her lunch break and was about to go out to her parents' house.

"Sister-in-law, I met someone who bought melons today, I bought a lot, so I'll send you some."

Wei Ling led the two of them in, and was busy pouring water for them, but was stopped by Lu Jingqiu: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to do, you can go and get busy, let's put down the melon and leave, and we have to go to the uncle and aunt to send some." ”

"That's okay, sister-in-law won't be polite to you, when will you come back and come to the house for a meal."

Jiang Nanzhou nodded in response, and the two went out with their sister-in-law.

On the way, Lu Jingqiu asked curiously: "Big brother and sister-in-law, don't they have separate houses?" ”

"The eldest brother divided the room over there, the conditions are not very good, so I didn't live there, it was a two-room house before, and the housing was tight, so it was changed to two families, my eldest brother said, I can hear a fart next door inside, let alone do other things.

He rented the house to another family for a symbolic dollar a month. ”

Lu Jingqiu nodded: "Housing is very tight now, but I see that buildings are being built in some places." ”

"Some factories have a lot of employees, and they can't be allocated, and if the benefits are good, they can only build houses, and another, you are right, after some people come back from the countryside, the government gives them back the house, so some workers' families have no place to live. According to Li Qi, there are a lot of people renting houses recently. ”

"No, in a capital city like Beijing, the demand for houses will increase in the future."

Jiang Nanzhou thought about it for a while and said, "Otherwise, buy all the money in my card into a house." Just leave a few thousand dollars and buy a set in Xicheng. ”

Lu Jingqiu shook his head: "We already have two or three sets in Beijing, it's okay." She also wants to buy a set in Yangcheng and Haishi, as well as Yangjiang.

Jiang Nanzhou heard what Lu Jingqiu said, and the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc.

When they arrived at Shen's house, Shen Mu and Shen Ting were there, and when they saw the melons they brought, before they could say anything, Shen Ting's kid unceremoniously took one and washed one, and began to bite it: "Well, this is delicious." Second brother, you bought it there. ”

"Bought it on the side of the road."

Saying this, several people also knew what was going on, Shen Ting said: "Second brother, Brother Wen Hong is back and has made a lot of new things, he told me, let me help him sell it, and I will give me five cents if I sell it." As for that watch, I helped him sell three of them in the morning, all of which were asked for by my classmates. ”

As soon as Shen Ting finished speaking, Shen Mu on the side gave him a thunderbolt: "I said what did you do when you ran out in the morning, it turned out that you were selling something." Be careful that the big brother knows, get beaten. ”

Jiang Nanzhou said: "Xiaoting, the most important thing for you now is to study, and it is not now if you want to make money." ”

Shen Ting touched his beaten head and said a little aggrieved: "I just want to earn pocket money." ”

Jiang Nanzhou said: "Is Wen Hong at home now?" ”

Shen Ting said: "Yes, but he said that he would go out in the afternoon." ”

Jiang Nanzhou said to Lu Jingqiu: "I'll go and I'll be back in a while." ”

"Okay, there you go."

Shen Mu said: "Second brother, you go, we will accompany my sister-in-law." "My friend suddenly became a sister-in-law, and it was quite awkward to change my words.

Jiang Nanzhou went out, so Shen Mu asked Lu Jingqiu to sit down and rest for a while, and went to the kitchen to wash a few melons by himself.

Shen Ting didn't go to live with his eldest brother in the past two days, and Shen Mu said that he would let his sister-in-law rest for a few days and review the kid by himself.

It's a pity that Shen Ting wasn't very afraid of the third brother, so he ran out of the house to find his classmates while he wasn't paying attention.

Shen Ting, a half-grown child of this age, was when he was playing crazy, and when he saw his sister-in-law coming, his eyes rolled and said: "Sister-in-law has been here for a few days, the second brother must not have taken you out to play, or let's go out for a walk in a while." I know a lot of fun places. ”

Shen Mu said: "If we go out, you can't either, honestly make those two rolls at home." ”

"Third brother, I promise, I will finish those two rolls today, let's go out to play, I heard that West Street has been very lively recently."

"West Street? Isn't there a black market in that place? ”

"That's right, I didn't care about it for the past two days, I sold things openly, and there were a lot of people who went shopping over there. My buddies just went shopping yesterday, and Brother Wen Hong is also setting up a stall over there. ”

Lu Jingqiu didn't expect that a small market would be formed so quickly, and it had only been two or three days since the policy came down, so she was a little curious: "What are they selling?" ”

Shen Ting said: "There are everything sold, clothes, shoes, fabrics, grain, and fruits. I also have the electronic products that Brother Wen Hong bought. ”

Lu Jingqiu turned his head to look at Shen Mu and said, "Let's go shopping." It just so happened that Nanzhou was going to have a drink with a few of his buddies, and I was bored when I went home. ”

Shen Mu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll call Shang Xiuya, she asked you yesterday." ”

"Okay."

The happiest person is Shen Ting, he is really suffocated during this time.

Wang Xiuya was in the building next to them, and when she heard that Lu Jingqiu was coming over, she wanted to go out shopping together, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and went out with money and tickets.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Jiang Nanzhou and Zhang Wenhong.

"Second brother, Brother Wen Hong, I'm going to take my sister-in-law shopping."

Jiang Nanzhou nodded: "Okay, you guys go, I'll come and pick her up at night." ”

Shen Mu said: "I heard my sister-in-law say that you are going to drink, I don't know when you will come back, we will send my sister-in-law back to the compound directly after shopping." ”

Jiang Nanzhou thought about it too, and put her here, afraid that she would not be adaptable.

Zhang Wenhong said: "Brother Zhou, I haven't seen my sister-in-law yet, why don't I let my sister-in-law go with me." ”

As soon as Zhang Wenhong's voice fell, the voices of three people were aroused: "No." ”

Wang Xiuya said: "We just made an appointment to go out together. ”

Shen Mu also nodded in agreement.

Jiang Nanzhou said: "A few of us big men drink, she is embarrassed, there are many opportunities to meet in the future." After speaking, he said to Shen Mu: "You go out and be careful." ”

"Got it."

Zhang Wenhong didn't expect that he would say it so casually, which attracted everyone to "crusade".

But when he was leaving, he still said to the two of them: "Xiao Mu, Xiuya, brother has recently made some new things, relatives and friends at home are in need, don't forget to come to me." Watches, radios, tape recorders, tapes, brother has. ”

Wang Xiuya said: "Brother Wen Hong, I know, we want to go directly to Sister-in-law Hongcui." ”
