As soon as Ma Hongwei came to the gate of the courtyard, he met a neighbor, and the other party was a gray-haired old man.

When the old man saw Ma Hongwei, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Yo, Hongwei is back?" ”

In the past, there was a lot of movement between neighbors and close relationships.

So many people in the compound also know about the affairs of the Ma family.

"It's Uncle Chen, are you going for a walk?"

Ma Hongwei said hello with a smile.

This old man used to work in a movie theater, and when he was a child, he went to the movie theater with the other party to prostitute movies.

Of course, the other party is not just good to him, but the children in the hospital have this "welfare".

In the past, the children who grew up in the miscellaneous deans really grew up eating hundreds of meals.

If anyone has something to eat, they will send some to their close neighbors, and they don't give much, basically all of them go into the belly of children.

Some children are very young, and even grew up eating hundreds of milk, and your milk is not enough, so you can come to my house to eat.

"Ah, go for a walk."

Uncle Chen nodded, saw the oil paper bag in Ma Hongwei's hand, and asked with a smile: "Is this to improve the food for the family today?" ”

"yes."

Ma Hongwei said politely: "Uncle, have you eaten?" Why do I have some fritters that I just bought? ”

"No need, I've already had breakfast, so I'd better leave it for your younger siblings."

Uncle Chen shook his head, and then left with his hands behind his back.

After entering the courtyard, Ma Hongwei parked his bicycle and took it into the big house early.

Wang Qiuhua had already gotten up and finished washing, and was making breakfast, which was also porridge.

Hearing the footsteps, Wang Qiuhua turned around.

When she saw the oil paper bag in Ma Hongwei's hand, she couldn't help complaining: "Boss, why are you still buying breakfast, our family is not without food, what are you spending that money for?" ”

"I see that you eat nests every day, so I want to improve you."

Ma Hongwei smiled and said, "Besides, the younger brothers and sisters are in need of nutrition, and it is not enough to eat some nests every day." ”

"Let's not take it as an example."

Wang Qiuhua shook her head and said: "You are about to get divorced, you just need money to find a daughter-in-law, you can't spend money anymore, you have to save it, don't wait for the money you need and can't take it out." ”

After a pause, she said with emotion: "This era is really changing, when your father and I did, we needed a bed, a red basin, a thermos and a new quilt, so how much was it?"

After a few years, I began to have to 'three turns and one ring' of these four pieces and thirty-six legs, and those things all added up, it cost almost 500 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of a regular worker for more than a year!

And when your generation gets married, it's not enough to have four old people, you also need a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine and a cassette recorder, and the thirty-six legs have become fifty-six legs, which adds up to thousands of dollars, right?

I see, this marriage is too early or late, if it is delayed for a few more years, I don't know what kind of trouble I am going to make, my mother will find you a matchmaker today! ”

(The old four pieces are three turns and one ring: bicycle, sewing machine, watch, radio; Thirty-six legs: bed, dining table, four stools, large standing cabinet, flat cabinet, dresser, dining cupboard, etc.

The new four major items: TV (color TV is better), refrigerator, washing machine, tape recorder (tape recorder); Fifty-six legs, on the basis of the original, plus sofas, coffee tables, bedside tables, TV cabinets and the like. ）

Ma Hongwei smiled, he felt that his mother's worries were still very accurate.

Some people in later generations want to get married, but it is really more difficult than climbing to the sky.

First of all, you have to have at least one house of more than 120 square meters in the city, and you have to have a car, and the car family of 100,000 yuan can't look down on it at all.

Of course, these are just the basics, and it doesn't mean that you will definitely be able to get married, and without these women, they won't even go on a blind date with you.

In addition, there is a bride price of 250,000 yuan, plus a diamond for hardware, and various red envelopes for relatives.

(Individual regions, not all places, anyway, a person I know got married.) ）

"Mom, you really don't have to worry about this."

Ma Hongwei patted his chest and promised: "With your son's ability, no matter how much he changes, he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

As a reborn, he doesn't believe in the speed at which he makes money, and he can't keep up with the growth rate of the bride price.

Even the new four major pieces that others can't get, he can easily get them, and they are not domestic, they are all imported.

After boiling the porridge, Wang Qiuhua picked up the oiled paper package, intending to put the breakfast inside on a plate.

But when she opened it, she didn't need to exclaim: "My mother, you are really a loser, how can you buy so many things?" These things have to be more than a dollar, right? ”

"It's only 9 cents." Ma Hongwei said.

"The ticket is also money, plus the ticket has to be more than a dollar!"

Wang Qiuhua began to count and said: "As far as your ancestor who spends money, I see what you will marry your daughter-in-law when the time comes!" ”

"Mom, I went to the ghost market this morning to get the $40 to be disposed of."

Ma Hongwei said in a low voice: "It's a full 200 yuan!" ”

As he spoke, he took out 40 yuan, 20 catties of food stamps, and 10 catties of meat stamps, handed them to his mother, and instructed: "Mom, your son can make money now, you and your younger siblings don't need to be so tired, buy more fine grains, meat and nutritional products for your younger siblings to replenish your body." ”

Wang Qiuhua refused: "Son, these are still your own daughters-in-law, and your brothers and sisters and I can take care of ourselves." ”

"Mom, I'm part of this family too."

Ma Hongwei directly stuffed the money ticket to his mother, and continued: "I will give you money every month in the future, and I will raise my younger brothers and sisters." ”

Without waiting for his mother to continue talking, he snatched breakfast from the other's hand.

Ma Hongwei took the breakfast to the cutting board, used a kitchen knife to split the baked cakes in two, and cut the fritters one by one.

Next, he took out some shredded pickles from the pickle jar and sandwiched them between the fritters.

In a short time, ten fried fritters were ready.

Don't think this is Ma Hongwei messing around, you must know that this baked cake with fritters, it was a luxurious breakfast back then, and it was even more popular than the supreme version of egg scones in later generations.

Soon, the younger siblings were up and running.

When they saw the fritters on the table, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Because, they actually saw ten fried fritters with baked cakes.

The fifth sister Wei Hong was full of surprise and said: "It's actually a set, the second sister came back to buy it for me once before, and I still remember it!" ”

People in the past knew that this baked cake with fried dough sticks was also called "a set", and people in Beijing had the sound of "er", which was generally "a set".

At that time, you only had to say to the breakfast shop shopkeeper, "Comrade, bring me a set", and the other party would definitely make you a fried dough stick.

(Don't think it's outrageous, in the past, many places had this way of eating, of course, there are also places that will be a little different, such as Tianjin is pancake roll fritters (oil cake), Qilu is flatbread roll fritters, and what rice rolls fritters, pot helmet roll fritters, etc.) ）

"Goo-toot!"

The third horse Weiguo swallowed his saliva and muttered to himself: "There are actually ten sets, this is too arrogant, right?" ”

Ma Hongwei rubbed Ma Weihong's little head and said, "Today, big brother has a treat, each of us is a set of two, go and wash, you can start eating after washing." ”

"Oh! Long live Big Brother! ”

Ma Weihong jumped three feet high, jumped up and ran to wash.

Seeing the happy smiles of his younger brothers and sisters, Ma Hongwei couldn't help but smile on his face.
