Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 967 Fragrant and Sweet Honey

Although Wang An didn't need Wang Yi's help in fighting, he still felt happy that Wang Yi had the intention to do so.

So, Wang An asked Wang Yi with a smile:
"Xiao Yi, school will start in a few days, right? Is there anything else you want? I can buy it for you when I am free."

Wang Yi has always been a worry-free person. The key is that this child usually doesn't ask for things on his own initiative, which is quite rare.

Wang Yi glanced at Mu Xueqing, then said to Wang An with a smile:

"Brother, can you give me some money? I want to buy it myself, okay?"

Wang An was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously thought of the embarrassing situation when he was in school and had no coins in his pocket.

It has to be said that among students of this era, very few have money in their pockets. People call students of this era “poor students.”

It’s not that parents don’t want to give, but the vast majority of them don’t have money in their pockets.

Smiling, Wang An said to Wang Yi:
"Give you some money? Hehe. Sure, how much do you want?"

Wang Yi hesitated for a long time before he said with determination:

"1 Well, can you give me 2 dollars, brother?"

After saying that, Wang Yi looked at Wang An with hope, but it could also be seen that Wang Yi was obviously a little flustered, as if he was afraid that Wang An would disagree.

After all, 2 yuan is definitely not a small amount of money in this era.

You have to know that the tuition fee at that time was only 1.2 yuan a year, white flour was only 1 cents a pound, and rice was only 8 cents a pound. If you compare it with the salary of temporary workers at that time, you can better reflect the concept of 2 yuan.

When Wang An heard the price of 2 yuan, he burst out laughing. He tried hard to hold back his laughter, but still asked curiously:
"What do you want to buy with 2 dollars?"

In fact, Wang An already had a guess in his mind, that is, Wang Yi wanted 2 yuan to help the classmate named Gu Xiaoshuang pay the tuition, or to keep it as a backup. If Gu Xiaoshuang could not pay the tuition, then Wang Yi would pay it for her.

Wang Yi scratched his head and thought for a long time before saying, "I'm thinking about that."

Just as he was about to say it, Wang Yi probably realized something and changed his words:

"I haven't figured it out yet, and I don't know what I'm still missing. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and have a look around when the time comes, hehehehe"

Without exposing Wang Yi, Wang An took the tofu buns from the basin after filtering out the honey residue, threw them into another empty basin, and instructed Wang Yi:

"Xiao Yi, scoop some water into this basin and soak these tofu bags."

Wang Yi stood up and said:

"Okay, fourth brother."

Wang Yi went to fetch water, and Wang An was not idle either. He got up and went to the cupboard to look for a can.

After Wang An placed the cans next to the honey basin, he took out a big unity note and handed it to Wang Yi, saying with a smile:
"What can you do with 2 yuan? I'll give you 10 yuan. As long as you study hard, I'll cover all your expenses during your studies. Hehehe."

Studying at this time doesn’t cost much money, but as long as you have money, you will definitely have a very comfortable life in school.

But when Wang Yi saw that it was 10 yuan, he didn't dare to take it, and muttered:
"I can't bear to put so much money in my pocket. What if I lose it? Just give me two dollars, big brother."

Looking at the sensible Wang Yi, Wang An felt very relieved. He believed that his younger brother would be good in the future.

So Wang An put away the Great Unity and stuffed the one-yuan and two-yuan notes, as well as a few ten-cent, twenty-cent, fifty-cent and one-cent notes, which totaled about six or seven yuan, into Wang Yi's pockets. He then said with a smile:

"If you are afraid of losing it, just take less with you. Leave the rest at home, in your own room. No one will touch it anyway, hehe." Patting Wang Yi's shoulder, Wang An did not tell Wang Yi anything like "don't spend money recklessly" or "be frugal", etc.

Mainly, in Wang An's opinion, it is right to be frugal when you have no money, but if you are reluctant to spend when you have money, it is not called frugality, that is called stinginess.

Wang Yi stared at the money in his hand in a daze, and suddenly said to Wang An with a smile on his face:
"Thank you, big brother, hehehe."

Wang An smiled at Wang Yi and then concentrated on pouring honey into the can.

Pure wild honey is in a semi-liquid and semi-solid state, and can be said to be very viscous. Fortunately, the mouth of the can is relatively large, so it will not spill outside.

It has to be said that the beehives in this season produce the most honey throughout the year, much more honey than usual.

Wang An and Mu Xueli placed their beehives together and worked hard to squeeze out the honey. After filling up eight cans, the remaining ones filled up half a can again.

These cans all have a capacity of 500 ml, so the total amount of honey is more than 12 kilograms.

Of course, the reason for this is that honey is heavier than water. Normally, 500ml of water weighs 1 jin, but 500ml of honey weighs jin and liang.

Looking at the honey remaining on the bottom of the basin, Wang An subconsciously put his head into the basin, then licked it with his tongue.

Wang An smacked his lips and nodded while praising:

"Oh shit, this stuff is so delicious, so sweet and fragrant!"

Many people like to eat honey, probably because honey, in addition to being sweet, also has a very strong floral scent.

Then, Wang An said to Mu Xueqing and Wang Yi:
"Come on, wife, go get some spoons. Xiaoyi, go call Xiaomei and Xiaoli to come in. Let's eat first."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, he heard Mu Xueqing say:

"Why don't we wait for parents to come back and eat together."

Wang An was stunned for a moment when he heard this, mainly because what Mu Xueqing said was indeed correct. It was a traditional virtue to wait until the whole family was gathered before eating good things.

But when Wang An saw the more than ten kilograms of honey, he said:

"There's so much honey here, no need to wait. Besides, it's so greasy after eating a little bit, and we can't eat much. Go get a spoon."

After hearing what Wang An said, the two of them agreed.

Mu Xueqing walked towards the cupboard. Wang Yi jumped on the spot, turned around and ran outside, but Wang An put his head into the basin again and continued to lick the remaining honey.

Soon, Wang Yi led the two little sisters into the house, and Mu Xueqing had already prepared the spoon.

So, the five people each took a spoon and scooped up the half-filled can of honey.

After taking the first bite, everyone had an expression of enjoyment on their face.

Unable to wait, they dug the spoon into the honey for the second time. After eating the third spoonful of honey, Wang An, Wang Yi and the two little sisters could not eat any more.
