Chapter 223 Gunpowder Gun

Entering the house, the whole family is eating.

"Oh, the second child is back, didn't he say it will take three or four days?"

"It's over for today."

"What kind of meeting is it?"

"It's the commendation meeting. Let me join the regiment. It's over. I've been judged as an outstanding regiment cadre. Give this back." Zhang Xinglong handed over the hero pen.

Liu Guixin took it over and looked at it and gave it to Zhang Xinglong: "It's not bad, it's worth a few dollars. Wash your hands and eat."

Zhang Xingjun carefully looked at the regimental emblem pinned to Zhang Xinglong's chest, curled his lips, a little envious.

"Second brother, let me see." Zhang Xingbing called to see.

At this moment, primary school entrance is the Young Pioneers. There is no longer the same evaluation as before, and there is no entry ceremony. The red scarf has become a standard equipment for primary school students, but they have not yet joined the league, and there are not many members in a grade.

"Excellent league cadre?" Zhang Qingzhi asked, "What kind of cadre? What are you doing?"

Zhang Xinglong scratched his hair: "I, I don't know either."

The whole family laughed, and Liu Guixin went to serve Zhang Xinglong a meal: "Hurry up and eat, don't care what kind of cadre he is."

"Mom, why did you close the stall so early today?" Zhang Xinglong asked after taking over the job.

"It's been sold out for the past few days. It hasn't been stocked yet, and it's almost sold out. From now on, our family will sell vegetables, and winter fruits will have a selling point, and they will go slowly."

"Then will our family be able to eat vegetables in winter?" Zhang Xinglong asked expectantly.

At this time, the Northeast is the old three in winter. Potatoes, sauerkraut, big radish, and at most green onions. From the end of October to May of the next year, there are no other vegetables in between. At most, you can dig some mountains in April and May. wild vegetables.

People with good family conditions and time will dry some eggplants, beans, beans, cowpeas and so on in the last autumn. In winter, they will be soaked and stewed to eat. These are all good things. Eating green vegetables is simply a luxury that you can’t even think about. .

"It's beautiful, it's so expensive, you can buy a lot of meat for a few dollars a catty, so I'll give it to you?" Zhang Qingzhi gave Zhang Xinglong a sideways look.

Liu Guixin patted Zhang Qingzhi, and said with a smile: "If you can eat it, why can't you eat it? Our family sells it and we can't try something new every now and then. Let's eat quickly. Have you eaten enough in the city these two days? Where did you eat?" "

"In the cafeteria, the cafeteria in the dormitory is similar to the cafeteria in my dad's factory. The meal costs [-] cents, and the dishes cost more than [-] cents. The teacher only gives [-] cents for a meal. They all change the money themselves, but I don't."

"Oh my god, the teacher here is enough to pick you up, can you get enough for one dollar and five dollars? It's hard for the child." Liu Guixin felt sorry for his son.

"Why didn't you give me some money?" Zhang Qingzhi asked.

"Yes, my mother gave me five yuan, and I spent fifty cents."

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Xinglong was a little embarrassed, bit his lip: "I'm eating ice cream, big feet."

Zhang Qingzhi glanced at him: "It's good to eat, what's so good about ice cream."

"Second brother, do you have more than four yuan in your pocket?" Zhang Xingbing always grasped the key points.

Zhang Xinglong nodded, and looked at Zhang Qingzhi with a guilty conscience.

"Forget it, you can keep it for yourself and buy something useful." Liu Guixin picked up some food with chopsticks.

"Well, they all buy books, but I didn't buy them because they were too expensive. I want to buy pens and water, as well as brushes and watercolors."

"Why do you buy that stuff?" Zhang Qingzhi looked over.

"The teacher told me to buy it for art class, and all my classmates bought it."

"Oh, it's just bullshit." Zhang Qingzhi shook his head, feeling that it was useless at all, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Xinglong sighed secretly, really afraid that his father would ask him to hand over the money.

If there were no debts, Zhang Qingzhi and Liu Guixin could definitely be regarded as wealthy families in Nanfen in this era, and their income even exceeded that of ordinary dual-earner families.

But there are no ifs in life, huge debts on the head, and two old people who have no food to support, and three stinky boys who are getting more and more edible, directly pulling the standard of living below the standard line.

It is an exaggeration to say that Liu Guixin usually keeps accounts and calculates every dime he spends, thinking back and forth whether it is necessary to spend.

The tuition fees for the three little brothers from elementary school to middle school have always been billed free of charge by the factory.

……

After eating, Zhang Xinglong helped Zhang Qingzhi clean up the table, washed the dishes and returned to the hut.

The radio rang hoarsely, and Zhang Wanzhi lay on the bed with the radio in his hands and closed his eyes.Zhang Jingyi likes to watch TV, and he is in the big house right now.

Zhang Xingjun was sitting on the small bench next to the bed with his back to the door, fiddling with something.He has a small wooden box that he got back from who knows where, the kind with a lid, and his 'treasures' are stored in it, in Zhang Xinglong's view, it's just a bunch of junk.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhang Xinglong leaned over.

Zhang Xingjun turned his head and looked at him, blinking his eyes: "I'm not happy to tell my parents."

"Well," Zhang Xinglong nodded: "I won't say."

Zhang Xingjun raised the thing in his hand: "Look, isn't it awesome?"

"Awesome. Bro, did you make it yourself?" Zhang Xinglong squatted beside Zhang Xingjun and looked at it enviously.

Gunpowder gun, the gun body is bent with eight-gauge wire, covered with bicycle chain links, brass barrel, sharpened firing pin, match gunpowder as primer, and ammunition is loaded from the barrel.

The power is two medical yellow latex cable ties twisted together.This thing is not easy to get. It is definitely a good thing in this year. Most people can't get it. It is the ultimate material for boys to make slingshots.

At present, most of the things that children play with are made by themselves or asked other children to make. The rubber bands used for elastic power are the kind of rubber bands that tie hair. You can buy them in department stores, but they are not elastic enough. Tired of pulling.

Zhang Xingjun has been interested in these things since he was a child, and his hands-on ability is super strong. In elementary school, Zhang Xinglong's Benggun was "eliminated" by his brother.

"Am I amazing?" Zhang Xingjun raised his eyebrows.

He doesn't like to talk much outside, he belongs to the group who can make a move and doesn't make noise, that is, in front of Zhang Xinglong, he will occasionally smugly show his face as a child.Even Zhang Xingbing couldn't do it.

"Brother, make me one?" Zhang Xinglong was drooling, there is no boy who doesn't like guns.

Zhang Xingjun looked at Zhang Xinglong sideways, he must have been struggling for a while, he opened the wooden box cover, but he didn't open it, he reached in and touched it, the movement was a bit slow, fully showing the complexity of his heart at the moment .

In the end, I took out a gunpowder gun that was several sizes smaller.

The one I was playing with just now was as big as a twenty-ring box, but this one is much smaller, about the size of a rooster.

"Let's play with this for you, can you play?"

Zhang Xinglong was a little excited, he liked it very much.

"If you don't want to take it out, you don't dare to shoot it. Don't let it be robbed. You will never come back." Zhang Xingjun fixed his eyes on the gun, still reluctant to give up.
