Chapter 32: Ideas
On the way home for Widow Wang and Chen Yi, Widow Wang looked at her son and said, "I said that you ran very fast today, it turned out that you were doing something for someone else's family." ”
Chen Yi pretended not to understand, "I'm helpful." ”
When they entered the house, Widow Wang said: "Do you think that it will be bad for others to talk with Xiaofang's girl, and you are afraid that others will say that you eat soft rice, so why do you think that you are worthy of Chen Xiuyun's little girl?" ”
Widow Wang is not belittling her son, although her son is handsome and willing to work, and the several houses in the family are quite spacious, which is also the biggest help for Chen Yi to marry his daughter-in-law, but Chen Xiuyun's little girl is the most handsome girl in ten miles and eight towns, and her temperament is not defective, it is not that the Yao family is a bad thing, Jiang Jianmin is gone, and then the girl is still in school, and the threshold of Chen Xiuyun's family will be broken by the matchmaker.
Looking at Jiang Zhenzhen's marriage, I know that Chen Xiuyun will not marry the two daughters in the future. Chen Yibai is a high school student, Bai is so tall and handsome, and if she wants to marry Jiang Xinyu, Chen Xiuyun may not necessarily take a fancy to her family, after all, she has no man in her family, and she is lonely in the team, and the conditions are just like that.
Chen Yi was a little subtle in his heart, although he didn't care about these in the past, he also knew that his conditions were very popular with young and unmarried women in the past, but now, having lost all the aura of the past, in the eyes of his current mother, it is still difficult for him to marry Jiang Xinyu.
Chen Yi didn't speak, but Widow Wang saw a pot of live fish in the basin of the main hall, crowded together, there were more than a dozen, "Where did you get it?" ”
Chen Yi washed his hands: "I caught it with my friends." ”
He has to go out in a while, there are a lot of ice caves in the river, and in broad daylight, it's not too much, so he can only carry these back first, and wait until the evening, he will continue to catch them, and then go to the black market in the county tomorrow to sell them.
In this year, the materials are supplied by tickets, a person is half a pound of meat tickets per month, and there will be a pound during the Spring Festival, and most people will save meat tickets until the New Year. Compared with the countryside, the members can also go into the mountains to secretly hunt some wild animals, go down to the river to touch some fish to eat, and the people in the towns are richer than the rural people, but the bills are also limited, so there are many people who buy meat on the black market.
The original Chen Yi was not a "safe person", he still had some money and tickets in his hand, otherwise Chen Yi would really not be able to find out where the black market was for a while.
The closer the Chinese New Year gets, whether in the city or in the village, the demand for meat and the like will increase, not only meat, but also all materials are in short supply.
Let Chen Yi see that the current situation is overkill, you can't buy things with money and no tickets, and you can't buy things with tickets and no money. However, the spring breeze of reform and opening up is coming, and there is no need to sneak around in the future.
If people have needs, they will buy and sell, and the existence of the black market is to solve people's needs.
Chen Yi watched Widow Wang happily start chopping fish, thinking about how to let Jiang Xinyu eat fish too.
If it is sent openly, Chen Xiuyun will definitely not accept it. Thinking about it like this, it's quite sad, this is nameless and undivided, and people who send food won't accept it.
When Chen Yi was worried at home, Jiang Xinyu quickly ate delicious stewed smoked fish.
A large smoked fish was cut into sections, Chen Xiuyun rarely added some chili peppers, and the oil was also sufficient, and there was cabbage in it, and the mother and daughter didn't finish eating a belly ball, and half of it was left.
Jiang Xinyu patted her stomach and said, "If only I could eat meat for a while." ”
This is her most unpretentious wish now, she can not wear beautiful clothes, she can do without cosmetics, she can do without jewelry, as long as she can eat meat.
Of course, she also has a purpose in saying such unpretentious and laughable words.
After coming here, she drank the luxury malt milk essence of this year, and also ate the white rabbit milk candy produced in Shanghai, and she didn't eat the canned meat that Chen Xiuyun gave her at school, because most of it was fatty after opening, and she exchanged it for other classmates.
It can be said that today's fish meal made Jiang Xinyu experience the joy of eating meat, and even the cabbage stained with meat was old and fragrant.
Jiang Yuzhu laughed when she heard her speak, and Chen Xiuyun also had a smile on her face, both of them thought she was thinking beautifully.
Although Chen Xiuyun brought back a lot of smoked fish from Shanghai, he also had to keep it and eat it slowly, how could he eat it like today? Eat like this, can't you live a better life?
The taste of stewed and smoked fish still reached Lao Jiang's house next door. Zhang Fengmei, who had a blue nose and swollen face, remembered a piece of bacon sent out by her man during the day, and was dripping blood in distress.
After today's experience, she didn't dare to make any more moths for the time being, but the hatred for Chen Xiuyun in her heart only increased.
Ma Meimei's family and the old couple naturally smelled the smell of fish, Li Laogen silently ate the stick pastry and drank the sweet potato soup, Mrs. Li was a little angry, in her eyes, Chen Xiuyun should have served her and Old Man Jiang a bowl if she made something good, but now she is ignoring it, she is really a white-eyed wolf.
Mrs. Li had just been taught a lesson by the Yao family yesterday, and although her face was longer than that of a donkey, she had no energy to stir up trouble for the time being.
"Xinyu, when the spring is warm, you and your sister will also live separately and occupy that room." Chen Xiuyun was thinking in her heart that she had to find a way to get some cotton and cloth and a quilt.
Jiang Xinyu said, "Mom, do you know where the night market is?" ”
Chen Xiuyun glared, "What do you want to do?" ”
Is her daughter trying to speculate?
Jiang Xinyu said: "Didn't I go to the scrap station last time, and I saw a partially rotten page of paper there, and the method of making pig pancreas on it is very simple." ”
Now a bar of soap is not cheap, not only for money, but also for tickets, and idlers are reluctant to buy it.
Of course, Jiang Xinyu is telling lies to Chen Xiuyun, she has made handmade soap and lipstick, as well as rouge, but in the 21st century, she can buy anything she wants, what she wants to do, there are also a bunch of tutorials on the Internet, she is interested in these things, and she has set up a room to study these things.
In these years, most of the chemical materials have not been studied, and she can't make handmade high-grade soap if she wants to, but she can still make the most inferior ones.
No one will eat pig pancreas in this year, most of them will be fed to dogs or something, so it should not be worthless, for Jiang Xinyu, this greatly reduces the expenditure of the principal, and pays less, Chen Xiuyun promised to let her try to do it It will be more likely.
Chen Xiuyun has been in the queue for so many years, will she not know where the black market is? Not only did she know, she had been.
Jiang Xinyu said that the materials she said were really worthless, the alkaline noodles were available at home, the plant ash was ready-made, and as for the pig pancreas, it was also available, and her family happened to have a dog, and even the excuses were ready-made.
If the little girl does it, the family can also try it, but if it can't be done, it won't lose much. As for going to the black market to sell, Chen Xiuyun is still very worried.
The dog cub and the pig baby squeezed into a circle and slept, and the mother and daughter talked for a while and fell asleep.
Jiang Xinyu has never slept so regularly.
In the era when there is no nightlife, couples seem to have only the sport of making children, no wonder the children are popping up one after another.
Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was still dark, when Chen Xiuyun got up to pour the urine bucket, he saw five fresh grass carp hanging in the courtyard gate.
Chen Xiuyun was stunned, where did the fish come from?
