Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 97 The Price of Dried Mushrooms Has Increased
Pingyang County, Zhao Wenmu's new home.

Zhao Jing immediately shook her head.

"Uncle Rong, it doesn't matter if you are abroad, my daughter is still young, I will definitely not be able to get away."

Even if there is no little girl, she is not willing to go, she will be wherever Zhao Wenmu is.

Zhao Xin also shook his head like a rattle.

"Don't go, don't go! Foreign countries are rich and rich, I am still young, what if I fail in my studies!"

"Hahahaha!"

For a moment, Rong Renyi's hearty laughter echoed in the room.

"That's right, Xinyi is still young, it won't be too late to go abroad in two years."

Rong Fang is not willing for his daughter to go abroad now, one is that she is still young, and the other is that her memory has not recovered yet!
"Why don't Xinyi go to Pingyang night school with Comrade Zhao Jing!"

Rong Fang thought about it, and felt that it was still good.

At worst, I have been living in Pingyang County.

Zhao Xin nodded vigorously.

The matter was settled like this, and Zhao Xin and Zhao Jing worked harder to prepare for the exam.

After witnessing the busyness of the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant that night, Rong Renyi couldn't help feeling:
"Opportunities are everywhere in the mainland. Compared with Xiangjiang when I arrived at the beginning of the year, it is even worse!"

Looking at Zhao Wenmu who greeted the guests without touching his feet, he couldn't help but think to himself:

"My son, the future is immeasurable!"

At this moment, Rong Renyi even thought of making friends.

Speaking of the previous appreciation, there was an element of gratitude, but now it is the real recognition of Zhao Wenmu's ability!

Rong Renyi only stayed in Pingyang County for a few days, after all, there were too many things waiting for him to deal with.

He first went to the capital and expressed his gratitude to the leaders.

Then return to Xiangjiang.

As soon as Rong Fang settled down in Pingyang County, his original unit handled the internal withdrawal procedures for him, and he stayed here with his daughter with peace of mind.

Time passes day by day.

The autumn wind blew off the last leaves, and winter came.

Zhao Wenmu put on a sweater made by his wife.

Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin spent most of their time at home reading and teasing their little girls, and they only went to help out at the crayfish restaurant at around six o'clock in the evening when it was the busiest.

As soon as Rong Fang went to the crayfish restaurant, he went to work as the accountant.

Quite a bit of fun.

The price of dried mushrooms is still increasing a little bit, and now it is 9 cents 3 a catty.

Most people don't notice this small change.

Everyone in the Zhao family is always watching.

Watching the price increase slowly by every penny, Zhao Wenlin and Zhao Wenyan's family gradually settled down.

"Little brother, since yesterday, we no longer collect crayfish and crabs."

Zhao Wenjun came to the county seat by bicycle, this time to report on work.

Zhao Wenmu helped her lightly pat off the frost smudges on her forehead, and dragged her into the room.

"Second sister, you don't go out until after ten o'clock. It's very cold in the morning now. If it snows, you must wait until noon to go out. It's not a joke to fall."

Zhao Jing handed over a thermos bottle and held it in Zhao Wenjun's hand

It's a glass bottle filled with hot water.

It's just right to keep warm through the gloves.

"A total of 82000 catties of crabs and crayfish were harvested, and more than 4000 catties of grass carp were harvested!"

Zhao Wenmu arranged to buy a batch of grass carp a few days ago.

Also ordered some flat trays.

Naturally, it is ready to make grilled fish.

Grass carp only needs to prepare a part, and when the river freezes, you can fish.

"Second Sister, where's Brother Zheng?"

"Brother Zheng is home."

"Oh, so you went to the city together?"

Zhao Wenmu smiled, and Zhao Jing stretched out her hand to poke him, meaning that you know how to bully the second sister.

Sure enough, Zhao Wenjun faltered and stopped talking.

"Second Sister, you are still young, are you going to live like this for the rest of your life? Brother Zheng is a..."

"It's good to live like this for the rest of my life! Brother, I'm rich now, and I'm living a happy life! I used to be in Zhou's house, and I was laughed at by them every day."

"Do you know how long it took me to save up for the journey home? Two years! Two full years! The money was almost discovered by Zhou Huiyue!"

The more Zhao Wenjun spoke, the more excited he became, his voice and hands trembled uncontrollably.

Zhao Jing held her hand.

"I am very happy now, very fulfilled, and have a sense of security. I no longer need to save money secretly, and I don't need to worry about five or six yuan!"

"I don't have to worry about people saying I'm a hen that can't lay eggs."

After Zhao Wenjun finished the last sentence calmly, two lines of tears fell down uncontrollably.

Zhao Jing wiped her tears, as if she was taking care of a stubborn little girl.

"Thank you, little brother! The second sister is fine now. I like my life very much, and I don't want to change anything."

When talking about the Zhou family, Zhao Wenmu felt annoyed.

But it seems that the matter of not having children is the second sister's knot.

But this is not necessarily the problem of the second sister, maybe it is the trash in the weekly meeting?
Zhao Wenjun didn't go back to Shanqian Village directly, but went to the crayfish restaurant. Zhao Wenmu was worried about her going back alone.

"Daughter-in-law, you should find a way to take the second sister to the hospital for an examination. Not having children is not necessarily her problem."

"Even if the second sister has some illness, it can be cured."

After Zhao Wenjun left, Zhao Wenmu took Zhao Jing's hand and confessed.

"Well, don't worry!"

Zhao Jing also had this idea.

Zhao Wenmu went out.

He went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cotton cloth, sugar and rice, and went to Zheng Guangming's house.

"Auntie, let me come and see you and Meiyun!"

Zhao Wenmu was already very familiar with Zheng Guangming's wife, Dong Liya. He put down his things and greeted Zheng Guangming with a smile.

"Xiao Zhao, don't bring so many things next time, I can't finish the food at home!"

Dong Liya smiled and pulled him onto the kang to sit down.

The old lady is well now, and there is no problem with cooking and cleaning the house.

Zheng Meiyun goes to the crayfish restaurant every night to help out, and still handles housework at home during the day.

"Mei Yun, where did your brother go?"

"I don't know. He came early in the morning, put down his things and left."

These days, Zheng Guangming has been living in Zhao Wenmu's new home in Shanqian Village. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Wenjun moved back to Zhao Xuehai's house.

Zheng Guangming was not at home, so Zhao Wenmu would not stay any longer after chatting with the old lady.

Zheng Guangming first went to the hospital.

body check.

Well, there's nothing wrong with it except the missing arm.

"Doctor, can you give me a list, saying that I am infertile."

Zheng Guangming blushed and asked the doctor.

"What?"

The powerful middle-aged bald doctor asked.

Hair volume reflects a person's strength to a certain extent.

Being able to lose his head in this era fully shows that this is a strong man.

Zheng Guangming repeated it again.

"Young man, is there anything wrong with you? When you go back, be more active in your intercourse, and you will definitely have a baby!"

Physicians feel their professional competence is being questioned.

"Doctor, my daughter-in-law has some health problems and can't have a baby. I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable. Can you just write that I can't have a baby?"

Zheng Guangming bit the bullet and told a lie.

"Young man, has your wife checked what's wrong? It's normal not to have children for a year or two. It doesn't necessarily mean that there is something wrong with her body! Even if there are problems, many of them can be treated."

"Bring her here, and I'll show you!"

The strong want to prove themselves very much.

How could Zheng Guangming bring Zhao Wenjun over for inspection!
He had no choice but to run away blushing.

"Hey, young man, you can't hide your illness from your doctor!"

The doctor tried hard to remonstrate from behind.

After leaving the hospital, Zheng Guangming went to the orphanage again.

"Comrade Zheng, your character and ability must meet the requirements for adoption, but to adopt a child, both husband and wife must be at least 30 years old, and they cannot have biological children or stepchildren."

The elderly welfare director speaks slowly and softly, but has unquestionable authority.

Zheng Guangming donated 50 yuan to the orphanage.

Turned around and left.

……

In late November, a gust of cold air suddenly hit, and the temperature suddenly dropped below zero.

When I got up in the morning, a thick layer of ice formed in the washbasin outside.

Zhao Wenmu's home has already started a stove.

The courtyards in the city are not much different from the houses in the village, except that some furniture and appliances are more modern.

Heating still relies on stoves and kangs.

It takes a lot of work to light the stove. Coal needs to be added to it from time to time every day, and the door of the stove must be sealed and filled with crushed charcoal at night.

In this way, when you get up early the next morning, open the furnace door, and poke it with an iron chisel, the charcoal fire in the furnace will be very prosperous when there is not much fire.

Sometimes when I wake up, the charcoal fire in the stove has been completely extinguished.

At this time, the fire needs to be rekindled.

It is necessary to use broken wood and corncobs as kindling materials to ignite the coal. The whole process is time-consuming and laborious, and there is a lot of smoke.

Even if the fire is not extinguished, it is still cold in the middle of the night.

In order to make the women in the family more comfortable, Zhao Wenmu usually gets up at three or four o'clock in the morning to turn up the fire.

When I got up at six o'clock in the morning, the fire hadn't burned out yet, so I added coal in time, and it could burn quickly again.

There is another big problem with starting a stove.

That is, it will keep falling ashes.

After a while, there will be a layer of dust on the furniture, doors and windows.

It needs to be wiped down with a rag from time to time, otherwise the whole home will become dirty in no time.

Fortunately, Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin stayed at home and read books during the day, so they had plenty of time.Otherwise, this task alone would be enough for Zhao Jing to keep busy.

"Little brother, the price of mushrooms has increased today, and now it costs 1 yuan and 7 cents a catty!"

Came to the crayfish restaurant, Zhao Wenyan said excitedly.

She visits the dry goods stall every day.

It is really a pleasant thing to watch the price of mushrooms go up a little bit!
"Sister, what do people who sell dry goods say?"

"He said that he can't get the goods now, and the price will increase in the future! I don't know if it's a lie."

The person who sells things says that the price will increase in the future, which always makes people doubt his motives.

So Zhao Wenyan was dubious.

"Sister, he didn't lie to you, and he will continue to raise the price."

Zhao Wenmu thought it was time to think about the market. The price of dried mushrooms was indeed increasing, but he couldn't sell them at retail!
In what year and month can retail be sold?
But how to get in touch with big customers in the south or the state-owned dry goods factory in Quancheng?
Just as he was thinking about it, a huge package from Xiangjiang was sent to Pingyang County.

A gift from Rong Renichi.
