good old days

The uncles, aunts and aunts were talking vigorously when they saw Jiang Xinyu walking around the corner.

He was talking about other people's gossip, but when he saw her, he subconsciously shut up.

Jiang Xinyu looked around at the uncles and aunts with a smile on her face, called someone to say hello, and said, "Are you all eating?"

The uncle sipped the noodle soup and said, "Is your house stewed again? We can smell it from afar."

Jiang Xinyu nodded casually, and glanced at Zhang Tiezhu with a half-smile, her eyes were full of contempt, like looking at garbage.

Zhang Tiezhu was unhappy, "What kind of eyes do you have? You don't know how to respect elders at all!"

Jiang Xinyu sneered in her heart, "I saw you walking around the gate of my courtyard a while ago, do you want to go in and steal something?"

Zhang Tiezhu: "Don't spout blood! You can't talk nonsense."

Jiang Xinyu: "Stop wandering around my house from now on. My dogs are all loose at night. If a thief enters the yard and gets bitten, he deserves it."

Zhang Tiezhu was ashamed to ask a matchmaker to come to his door, even if her mother kicked him out, she couldn't guarantee that she would do something shameless to herself, so of course she had to be vigilant and vigilant against him.

Jiang Xinyu left, the uncle smiled and said: "Zhang Tiezhu, don't worry about it, other girls don't like you."

"It's not someone's daughter, it's someone's mother and daughter who look down on you."

"I don't work hard all day long, and I wander around outside every day, who can take a fancy to you?"

"Your parents are not like you, why did you give birth to a son like you? You have broken the roots of your Zhang family."

"There are more than 40 people, so they can't work hard and live their lives seriously. If you really want to live well, there is a widow with two boys in the village next door. The family is poor. If you want to If you want a daughter-in-law, I'll tell you."

Zhang Tiezhu was not happy to hear other people say things that looked down on him. When he was about to lose his temper, he heard his aunt introduce him to a widow with two sons and a daughter. Poor Jingdong still doesn’t forget to pick things up for her natal family. Her son is as skinny as a bamboo pole. I’ve never seen her like this. I don’t want to be taken advantage of, not only raising her child, but also raising her natal family. Isn’t that stupid? ?”

The first aunt squinted at him, "You also think it's a fool to raise a child for others. Isn't it also a fool for Chen Xiuyun to let you in? Your abacus is a monster, and others are not stupid."

Zhang Tiezhu left cursing in his heart.

He's married for the first time, so why isn't he worthy of a widow like Chen Xiuyun?
Jiang Xinyu went to Chen Yi's house. He was repairing the bench. She told Aunt Miao about the radio, and raised the iron pillar again.

"How dare this old bachelor let people come to his door, and he doesn't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue he is."

Zhang Tiezhu is like a stinky rat at the door of the house, and there is no way for him to disappear into the brigade.

Chen Yi stopped what he was doing, thought about it and said: "I saw him in the town, he played cards with a group of old men."

Some people also play cards and gamble these days, but the bets are small, twenty or eighty cents, and there are some receipts.

But if you are caught, you have to squat on the fence and reform for a while.

The two talked for a while, and Jiang Xinyu greeted Widow Wang before heading home.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yi sent Jiang Xinyu to the town on his bicycle. He had a broken radio in his hand, but it was missing parts and hadn't been repaired yet, so he had to look for the parts.

After the meeting at noon, I had dinner in the school cafeteria, and when I was about to go shopping with Song Guifang, I ran into He Yong and He Zhi father and son at the school gate.

"Uncle, why are you two here? Are you here specifically to find me?"

He Yong's legs and feet are still a little awkward, and he walks with a limp, but his spirit looks very good.

"I came to see you, I have something to talk to you about."

Jiang Xinyu turned her head to look at Song Guifang, who waved her hand, "Go, I'll go shopping by myself."

Jiang Xinyu and He Yong and his son went to their house. He Pengfei had already left yesterday, and there was no one in his house right now. Miao Yue entertained her with biscuits and fruit, and made a cup of malted milk.

With such enthusiasm, Jiang Xinyu subconsciously thought that they needed help with something.

"Just tell me if you have anything, I will definitely help if I can help."

He Zhi took out a piece of chestnut cake and shook it in front of her, "Sister Xinyu, it's like this, you said yesterday that it was made by your family."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "That's right, my family made it myself, and I asked my partner to help me make the mold for the pressing."

"It tastes good, it's as good as the dim sum sold in department stores, and it looks good."

Jiang Xinyu had some guesses in her heart, but she kept her face steady, "I also put malted milk extract and peanuts in it, the taste is definitely not bad. So, what do you mean?"

He Zhi pointed at him, He Yong, "You should know that my dad used to drive a truck, and he would drop in some things to subsidize the family. Are you willing to do business with us?"

The He family was able to say this because they knew that Chen Yi was messing around and mentioned it to Jiang Xinyu. Even if the matter fails, they are not afraid of being reported.

Jiang Xinyu has always wanted to make money. When the reform and opening up can open up and do business in an aboveboard manner, there must be initial funds, right?

Her mother told her about Zhang Fengmei, and she was also a little scared. The situation at home is not bad now, and Comrade Chen Xiuyun doesn't want to take risks anymore, she thinks it's unnecessary.

"Someone in our brigade was caught speculating and sent to the cement factory for three months to renovate. Isn't this a bit risky?"

He Yong simply said: "What we mean is that you wholesale it to us, and you don't need to sell it."

Without selling, the risk is greatly reduced.

Jiang Xinyu asked a question, "Uncle, I'm very moved by what you said, but I don't have any raw materials, and my family doesn't have many chestnuts. I want to make it, but unfortunately I don't have anything."

"It's not a problem. There is a poor man in your commune town who I know very well. He is righteous and smart. He has a lot of food and various goods. You can make chestnut cakes, and you should be able to make other things too. "

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "I can also make mung bean cakes, saqima cakes, and red date cakes."

Miao Yue said with some pity: "There used to be a woman wearing a headscarf selling red date cakes in the black market in winter, but no one came to sell them for several months, and she couldn't eat them anymore."

Look, there are many people who go to the black market to buy things. As long as there is demand, there is a market.Chen Xiuyun didn't go to sell it for a while, and there was always someone who wanted to eat thinking about it.

Jiang Xinyu coughed lightly, and said seriously: "My uncle and aunt's family are open-minded people in my heart, but business is prone to friction. I mean, we will cooperate after we have negotiated all the conditions."

The three of He Yong nodded, "That's for sure."
