Jia's daughter-in-law of Zhen Hanzi's family

Chapter 218
If Big Sister Zhen were to do it herself, she would definitely not want to spend [-] cents to buy a catty of vegetables. At this price, she could buy half a catty of meat. Isn't this taking people for granted?
But now, seeing a continuous stream of people rushing over to buy garlic yellow, she watched her younger siblings quickly collect money for change.

It was the first time for Sister Zhen to see the black market with her own eyes, and it was also the first time she found out that garlic yellow was really valuable. This shocked her too much.

After I reacted, I looked around nervously, afraid that those ferocious pickets would come and arrest them.

Luckily, Jiahao sold out the yellow garlic very quickly.

A young man with a back-swept hair had stood by the side for a while, and when he saw that they were about to leave, he came to charge with a green satchel: "Sister, you can do business, and the booth fee is one yuan."

He also tore up a ticket for her very formally: "If you don't want to sell it yourself next time, we can also accept this thing."

Jia took a good look at his receipt, which was similar to a bus ticket, and it was [-], [-] and [-] cents. He didn't ask carefully, and thanked him with a smile: "Okay, thank you, comrade!"

"Different goods charge different prices, and our charges are very reasonable..." The man told her a few more words, and left quickly.

Jia Haohao greeted their mother and daughter: "Xiaoxiu, take a look at what you like, and my aunt will buy it for you."

Only then did Sister Zhen regain her senses, seeing that the two baskets were empty, she leaned into Jia Haohao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Is this sold out?"

"Yes, 190 seven catties of garlic yellow was sold for nearly 80 yuan. After deducting the cost of 20 yuan, I earned 60 yuan."

Seeing her nervousness, Jia Haohao couldn't help but smile: "Don't be afraid, if someone from the picket team really comes, someone will whistle to remind you, otherwise why should they charge the booth fee?"

One yuan may not seem like much, but there are at least 100 stalls here.

Tsk tsk, it's really a good way to make money.

She heard from Zhen Yuqin before that now the black market has to pay the booth fee, but it is relatively safe and secure.

Even if the picket team comes here to inspect according to the usual practice, those who collect booth fees will remind everyone in advance, or want to whistle to remind everyone.

At that time, Jia Haohao heard his sharp speculation: it is very likely that there was a private agreement between the picket team and the booth fee collector.

But Jia Haohao felt that this was not bad, and the safety was improved a lot.

When I found a stall selling meat, there was only half a pig's head and a pig's trotter left.

The capable middle-aged man glanced at them, bowed his head and began to sharpen his knife, and greeted them in an easy-going manner: "I just killed it this morning, and it's still very fresh, and this is the only thing left to sell at a low price."

"The pig's head is one and three catties, and the pig's leg is one and seven catties. No ticket."

Hearing the price, Sister Zhen gasped, leaned into her siblings' ears and whispered: "Don't buy it, it's too expensive, it's almost twice as expensive as outside."

Jia Haohao understood that this is the price in the black market, and said in a low voice, "It's about time, there probably isn't much good meat on the butcher's stall at the slaughterhouse."

"Besides, we don't need meat tickets here. It's the first time we come here today, so we must bring some gifts, don't we?"

The slaughterhouse in the town does kill several pigs every day, not only for the people in the town, but also for dozens of brigades and small teams nearby.

Therefore, even if pork is indeed expensive now, it is still very popular.

In order to buy good meat, many people get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to queue up in front of the meat stall.

After she finished speaking, she ignored Sister Zhen who was still struggling, and said with a smile: "Comrade, you don't have much left, so why not make it cheaper by a dime and a catty, and I'll make it all up, okay?"

The butcher hesitated for a moment before saying, "Forget it, I'm in a hurry to go back today, so I'll sell it to you at a lower price."

There was a total of nine catties of meat, which cost Jia Haohao 14 yuan and [-] cents.

Sister Zhen next to her felt distressed when she saw it. The siblings could indeed earn money, but it was also a waste of money.

The younger brother's monthly salary is only about [-] yuan, and he really can't afford to support his younger siblings.

Thinking of the number of people in the family, I'm afraid that half of the pig's head can be cleaned up in one meal.

Hey, raising a family is not easy.

Jia Haohao separated the pig's head and pig's feet and put them in two baskets. He also bought more than five catties of apples. It was almost eleven o'clock by the watch, so he rushed to Qian Deliang's house.

According to the address given by Qian Deliang, they quickly found out about Qian's family.

The Qian family didn’t live in a tube building inside the factory. Their house was not far from the factory. It was three green brick and tile houses. The kitchen and living room were on the left. Those miscellaneous things at home.

The other room was also divided into two rooms, where his mother and two children lived.

Jia got used to living in a spacious room, and felt that the Qian family was a bit cramped.

Mrs. Qian was wearing a gray overalls, half-white hair with short ears, and because she was thin, there were many wrinkles on her face when she smiled.

After everyone said hello, Jiahao signaled Sister Zhen to give the pork leg to Mrs. Qian.

"Oh, you are so polite, I went to line up early in the morning to buy a piece of pork belly and came back."

Mrs. Qian's attitude is very kind, and she speaks in a soft voice: "When Xiaoxiu comes, if you are not used to living with my Xiaojun Xiaofang, you can also put an extra bed in the small room behind your room."

They also made white sugar tea for them in an enamel pot: "This white sugar is also specially bought for you, and this tea is really expensive..."

Jia listened carefully and felt that the old lady was nagging and a little showy, obviously saying that she bought a lot of good things for them, but in fact, she wanted to let them know that the Qian family had a good life and was willing to buy good things.

"Auntie is too polite." She smiled and asked, "What time does Comrade Qian come back from get off work? Are there any children coming back for dinner?"

Mrs. Qian smiled: "This is what it should be, and we will be a family from now on."

"My Deliang leaves work at 11:30, and my eldest grandson and granddaughter are coming back from school for lunch soon."

Looking at Sister Zhen's appearance, Mrs. Qian knew why her son was willing to marry a woman from the countryside with a bottle of oil.

However, she looked at the clean and tidy clothes and pants on their mother and daughter, and thought of them bringing a pig leg as a gift, she was a little impressed.

Especially Jia Haohao, who was wearing green clothes and black pants, and had a watch on his wrist.

Before, she had heard her son say that although the family lived in the countryside, there were many houses and the food was good. In addition, the woman's younger brother was now a member of the transport team, so she did not object.

Now it seems that their conditions are not bad.

After talking again, Mrs. Qian got up and said with a smile, "Sit down, the kitchen is still cooking meat, I have to go and have a look."

Sister Zhen is a hardworking person. After drinking tea, she smiled and asked, "Auntie, let me help you."

"No need," Mrs. Qian refused with a smile, "I'll just go and see if the heat is almost ready."

What a joke, if she went to see if the meat was ready, she couldn't help but say that she wanted to taste it, and she would be embarrassed to refuse, wouldn't she?

After a while, the two children came back.

I heard that they were twins before, but now that Jia took a good look at them, he didn't think they were brother and sister, but they were still neatly dressed, and their clothes and pants were not patched.

Even if boys are fatter and girls are thinner, their facial features can only be regarded as correct.

Afterwards, Qian Deliang came in with a basket in his left hand and a bag in his right hand.

He saw Sister Zhen with a smile on his face: "Jing Hao, you are here, I was going to ask for leave, but the factory is busy, so I am embarrassed to ask for leave."

This is a lie, mainly because his mother is reluctant to part with this day's salary, so he is not allowed to ask for leave.

Sister Zhen felt that he was at ease: "It's okay, it's important to go to work."

"Hey, let's have lunch first." He opened the bag, and there were about a dozen steaming steamed buns in it.

There are two lunch boxes in the basket, one is fried tofu with chili, and the other is fried potatoes.

The food in the cafeteria is all big pot dishes, don't think how delicious it is, and don't think how beautiful it is.

Mrs. Qian also brought out a large bowl of braised pork, and said with a smile: "Come on, eat quickly, everyone, you are welcome, there is still in the pot."

Qian Xiaojun didn't know whether it was domineering or protecting the food. Before Mrs. Qian finished speaking, he had already put two pieces of meat in his bowl and started eating.

Qian Xiaofang looked at the braised pork with greedy eyes, but instead of picking up the meat, she picked up chili peppers with chopsticks and stuffed them into the steamed buns.

Jia took a good look at the small bowl of braised pork. Although it was oily, he didn't have the appetite to eat it.

She was already a little dissatisfied in her heart, seeing the two children eating, she knew that their family favored sons over daughters, and her own daughter was like this, so how dare they expect Lu Xiu, who is not related by blood, to be okay?

Sister Zhen and Lu Xiu didn't eat meat, but potatoes.

"You all eat meat." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Qian picked a piece of meat for all three of them, then a piece of meat for her grandson and son, and she also picked a piece of meat to eat.

"Yeah, eat more." Qian Deliang picked up a piece of meat for his daughter, and another piece of meat for Lu Xiu, and then asked Jia Haohao and Sister Zhen to eat meat.

When Qian Xiaojun saw it, he showed a displeased look and glared at Lu Xiu.

Jia Haohao didn't like eating steamed buns at first, and their food didn't suit his taste, so he put down his chopsticks after eating one steamed bun.

Sister Zhen and Lu Xiu also put down their chopsticks. Even if Qian Deliang's mother and son persuaded them to eat more, they said they were full.

After lunch, Mrs. Qian pulled Sister Zhen and smiled: "You see, this is the situation in our family. If you want to, then get married as soon as possible, and you will have a better life in the future."

"I think you are a person who can live a stable life. My son can also support the family. You just let him have a hot meal when he comes back, and you can give them a few sewing and mending."

"I'm getting old and my eyes are not good..."

Sister Zhen didn't know why, but she just didn't want to agree.

She looked at her younger brother and sister with some anxiety, wanting her to rescue herself.

If Jia took good care of herself, she would not want to find such a man, but if Sister Zhen was willing, she would not object.

Seeing that she refused to agree now, she was also willing to help her out, and said with a smile: "Auntie, there is no rush, wait for my man to come back and then come to visit me?"

Anyway, she always encountered embarrassing things, so she just pushed it on Zhen Youqin.

When Mrs. Qian heard Jia Haohao's words, she stopped forcing Sister Zhen, and her face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile: "That's right, then we will wait for you to come again before stopping by."

At this time, Qian Xiaojun was unhappy, and came to his father, and said: "Father, give me a dime, I'm going to buy candy."

There were three children at the scene, Qian Deliang finally took out the triangular money: "You take the two younger sisters to buy candies."

The very gentle Chong Luxiu smiled and coaxed her: "The candies here are delicious, go play with my brother for a while, if you see something you like, ask him to buy it for you."

Qian Xiaojun was very unhappy, feeling that his father was about to be taken away by them.

He is already ten years old this year, and he understands what it means for his father to marry again.

However, since he was a child, he was pampered and loved by his grandmother and parents, and he has a fierce personality. He stepped forward and pushed Lu Xiu to the ground, and stared at her fiercely: "You are not my sister!"

Not to mention that Lu Xiu wasn't on guard, when he pushed her like this, she fell into a squatting position.

Even Jia Haohao and Sister Zhen who were sitting on the side were reacted.

Lu Xiu cried in an instant, and after being helped up by Jia, she threw herself into her arms, sobbing, "Auntie, will you take me home?"

Anyway, she doesn't want to come here anymore, the brother here is not good at all.

Qian Deliang slapped his son angrily: "You little bastard, you are so much older than your sister, do you have the nerve to bully her? Hurry up and apologize to my sister!"

Mrs. Qian hurriedly protected her grandson, and sighed with red eyes: "Stop beating, the child is so young, what if he breaks it? The child is not sensible, you should reason with him!"

He apologized to Jia Haohao and the others: "This kid protects food not only to Xiaoxiu, but also to his own sister. Don't worry about children, I will teach you slowly."

She stared at her grandson not at all fiercely, and lightly patted his shoulder: "Why don't you hurry up and say sorry to your sister?"

Qian Xiaojun stated his position with great backbone, "No, I don't want it."

Qian Deliang was worried that his unmarried daughter-in-law would be disturbed by his son, so he pulled his son to beat his ass with a sullen face, and scolded: "I told you to be disobedient, do you want to apologize?"

Well, Qian Xiaojun doesn't have much backbone, and he can be subdued by might, crying at the top of his lungs: "Woo, I was wrong, I won't beat my sister anymore...Woo, I want my mother..."

"My poor grandson." Mrs. Qian couldn't persuade her son, so she pulled Sister Zhen and cried: "Don't worry about the child, tell my son not to beat my poor grandson, okay?"

Jia hugged Lu Xiu well, and looked at Sister Zhen's face very calmly.

If it was according to her wishes, this brat deserves a beating.

Sister Zhen forced a smile: "Stop beating, the child is still young and ignorant." No wonder, she already regretted it now.

I shouldn't come here without knowing it clearly. If someone loves his grandson, then he loves his daughter too.

She was not suitable for him, she thought about asking her second uncle to talk to him.
