At about two o'clock, Aunt Zhang told them where the melons were sold, and Jiang Nanzhou took her to the small square on a bicycle.

This small square is not far from the nearby farmer's market, and now people come to play in the small square one after another.

The two of them immediately saw the middle-aged man pushing the boxcar, followed by a half-grown boy. The two looked like father and son, and there were many people around their boxcar.

As soon as the two of them reached the place, there was a smell of melons, and Jiang Nanzhou asked, "Brother, how do you sell melons?"

The middle-aged man greeted: "It costs three cents a catty. I grow it myself. I can't finish it. This melon has a lot of cow dung on it. It's big and sweet."

Jiang Nanzhou and Lu Jingqiu looked at each other and smiled. They naturally knew it was delicious, otherwise they would not have come here specially: "Give us a small half bag." Jiang Nanzhou said, taking out a woven bag from the car.

The middle-aged man didn't expect that they wanted so many, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked his son to pretend for them.

Half a bag of melons, a total of more than 30 catties, cost more than one yuan, so it is more convenient not to need a ticket.

Jiang Nanzhou tied the mouth of the bag, put it on the front beam of the car, and said, "Let's go and send some to Mom and Brother."

"it is good."

Jiang Nanzhou rode a bicycle to his eldest brother's house. His sister-in-law's school was in the city center, some distance from Shen's house, but not far from the Education Bureau.

It is also convenient for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to go to work. Their yard is a small courtyard with one entrance, three main rooms, two side rooms, one east and west wing rooms, and nothing else. It is not very big, but compared to that Planting a large courtyard has been a lot more relaxed. A few years ago, the mother of the sister-in-law was helping to take care of the children. This year, I just went to the kindergarten of the staff. Because the sister-in-law’s school is not on time, the elder brother picks up the children.

When they passed by, the sister-in-law had just finished her lunch break and was planning to go out to her mother's house.

"Sister-in-law, I met someone who bought melons today. I bought a lot of melons. I'll bring you some."

Wei Ling led the two of them in, and was busy pouring water for them, but was stopped by Lu Jingqiu: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to do, go and do it, we put down the melons and leave, and we have to send some to uncles and aunts. "

"That's fine, my sister-in-law won't be polite to you anymore. When you come back, come and have a meal at home."

Jiang Nanzhou nodded in agreement, and the two went out with the sister-in-law together.

On the way, Lu Jingqiu asked curiously: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't they have separate houses?"

"Brother was allocated a room there, and the conditions were not very good, so he didn't live there. It used to be a two-bedroom house, and the housing was tight, so it was changed to a two-family house. My elder brother said, it's not easy to fart next door. Can hear, let alone do anything else.

He rented the house to another family, giving a symbolic one yuan a month. "

Lu Jingqiu nodded: "The current housing is very tight, but I see that some places are under construction."

"Some factories have too many employees to distribute them. If the benefits are good, they can only build houses. There is another one. You are right. After some people came back from the countryside, the government returned the houses to them. Therefore, some workers' families have no A place to live. According to Li Qi, there are a lot of people renting houses recently.”

"No, in a capital city like Beijing, the demand for houses will increase in the future."

Jiang Nanzhou thought about it, and said, "How about buying a house with all the money in my card. Just save a few thousand yuan and buy a house in Xicheng."

Lu Jingqiu shook her head: "We already have two or three sets in Beijing, that's fine." She also wants to buy one set in Yangcheng and Haishi, as well as Yangjiang.

When Jiang Nanzhou heard Lu Jingqiu's word "we", the corners of Jiang Nanzhou's mouth raised a beautiful arc.

When they arrived at Shen's house, Shen Mu and Shen Ting were both there. When they saw the melons they brought, before they could say anything, the boy Shen Ting took one and washed it politely, and began to take a bite: "En, this is delicious. Two Brother, you bought it there."

"I bought it on the side of the road."

Having said that, several people knew what was going on, Shen Ting said: "Second Brother, Brother Wen Hong is back and has bought a lot of new gadgets. He told me to help him sell them. If I sell one, I will sell it for you." Give me fifty cents. As for that watch, I helped him sell three of them in the morning, all of which were requested by my classmates."

As soon as Shen Ting finished speaking, Shen Mu on the side gave him a slap in the face: "I said what did you do in the morning, and it turned out that you were selling things. Be careful if you know, you will get beaten up."

Jiang Nanzhou said: "Xiao Ting, the most important thing for you now is to study, and it's not the time to make money."

Shen Ting touched his beaten head and said aggrievedly: "I just want to earn pocket money."

Jiang Nanzhou said: "Is Wen Hong at home now?"

Shen Ting said: "He is here, but he said he will go out in the afternoon."

Jiang Nanzhou said to Lu Jingqiu: "I'll go there and I'll be back in a while."

"Okay, you go."

Shen Mudao: "Second brother, you can go, we will stay with sister-in-law." My friend suddenly became sister-in-law, so it would be awkward to change his words.

When Jiang Nanzhou went out, Shen Mu asked Lu Jingqiu to sit down and rest for a while, and went to the kitchen to wash some melons.

Shen Ting didn't go to live with his eldest brother in the last two days, Shen Mu said to let his sister-in-law rest for a few days, and review for the boy himself.

It's a pity that Shen Ting was not very afraid of the third brother, and ran out of the house to look for his classmates when he was not paying attention.

Shen Ting's half-year-old was just in the middle of playing wildly. When he saw his sister-in-law coming, his eyes rolled and he said, "My sister-in-law has been here for a few days. Second brother must not have taken you out to play, why don't we go out for a while? Right. I know many interesting places."

Shen Mu hit it hard: "We go out, you can't either, honestly do those two papers at home."

"Third brother, I promise, I must finish those two papers today, let's go out and play, I heard that West Street is very lively recently."

"West Street? Isn't there a black market there?"

"That's right, I don't care about it for the past two days. It sells things openly and aboveboard. Many people go shopping there. My buddies and the others just went shopping yesterday, and Brother Wen Hong also set up a stall there."

Lu Jingqiu did not expect that a small market would be formed so quickly, and it only took two or three days after the policy was implemented. She was a little curious: "What are they selling?"

Shen Ting said: "We sell everything, including clothes, shoes, fabrics, food, and fruits. My Brother Wen Hong also buys electronic products."

Lu Jingqiu turned her head to look at Shen Mu and said, "Let's go shopping. It happens that Nanzhou is going to drink with some of his buddies later, and I'm bored when I go home."

Shen Mu thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll call Xiuya, she asked you yesterday."

"Row."

The happiest was Shen Ting, he was really overwhelmed during this time.

Wang Xiuya was in the building next door to them. When she heard that Lu Jingqiu was coming and wanted to go shopping together, she quickly changed her clothes and went out with money and tickets.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Jiang Nanzhou and Zhang Wenhong.

"Second Brother, Brother Wen Hong, I'm going to take my sister-in-law to go shopping."

Jiang Nanzhou nodded: "Okay, you go, I will come to pick her up at night."

Shen Mudao: "I heard sister-in-law say that you are going to drink, I don't know when you will come back, we will send sister-in-law back to the compound directly after we finish shopping."

Jiang Nanzhou thought so too, he put her here, afraid that she would not adapt.

Zhang Wenhong said: "Brother Zhou, I haven't seen my sister-in-law yet, why don't I let my sister-in-law go with me?"

As soon as Zhang Wenhong finished speaking, three voices came up: "No."

Wang Xiuya said: "We just made an appointment to hang out together."

Shen Mu also nodded in agreement.

Jiang Nanzhou said: "She's too embarrassed for us big men to drink, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future." After speaking, he said to Shen Mu: "Be careful when you go out."

"understood."

Zhang Wenhong didn't expect that he would "crusade" from everyone just by saying it so casually.

But before leaving, he still came to the two of them: "Xiaomu, Xiuya, brother recently bought some new gadgets. If your relatives and friends at home are in need, don't forget to come to me. Watches, radios, tape recorders, tapes , I have them all."

Wang Xiuya said: "Brother Wen Hong, I got it, we want it and go directly to Hong Cui's sister-in-law."
