There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter VIII Who Killed the Sword

After adding rice, white noodles, briquettes, coal, and wild animals to the county courtyard, the couple did not dare to waste time and returned to Zhangjiacun like a gallop.

As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the village, Aunt Zhang shrank her head and waved vigorously at them.

"Auntie, why don't you wait at home? It's windy outside."

Aunt Zhang opened the thick scarf and exposed her mouth, "Xiao Wu, don't go back yet, I'm looking for you."

After hearing this, Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao, but didn't care to say more, and pointed to the rear door of the car. "Auntie, come up first and talk."

Seeing that the other party couldn't open it for a while, Zhou Jiao got out of the car and opened the door for her.

"My two brothers in my natal family smoked a lot of bacon and sausages.

Zhang Guoqing didn't reply for a while. He glanced at Zhou Jiao and said with a smile: "Are they too expensive? I can't afford it."

"Smelly boy, you're still sloppy with your old aunt. It's only one or two hundred catties. I wanted to ask your mother, but didn't you just come back?"

"Thanks, you think about such a good thing, my nephew, can I still do it." Zhang Guoqing knew that the other party had prepared these things because he planned to wait for the busy farmers to go to the black market and sell them at high prices.

But ugliness can be said to be the first, it's not that he has never dealt with the other brothers.That's the one who doesn't see the rabbit or scatter the eagle.

"I don't have much money right now, how much can I buy, doesn't it matter?"

"Okay. Go back and talk to them about the price, don't care about your old aunt and my face. Isn't this a bad check now? I'm worried that their brothers will go back to the black market again, alas..."

Zhang Guoqing smiled and said nothing.No wonder he came to him. He remembered that when he joined the collective commune, the brothers had quoted themselves a high price for the two pigs raised secretly.

How much did they say at that time?Four pieces of bacon and five pieces for pigs.Good guy, it's almost four times more expensive than on the market.

Had it not been for food safety to be guaranteed, the deal would only be reached after half the pressure.Such a cruel master, he really didn't want to deal with them.

This time Zhang Guoqing planned to go and see it. If it was expensive, it was because his old aunt had to pay three to five kilograms of face.Just waiting for the hot weather to improve the food for his three sons.

Aunt Zhang’s family has the best conditions in the old Zhang family.With the two old brothers who love tossing, they speculate from time to time, and they have a good family.

When the car drove to their village, I saw from a distance that the big half-brick and half adobe courtyard by the river was the Gao family of Aunt Zhang's family.Of course, this Gao family is not a descendant of Gao E, the organizer of "Dream of Red Mansions". It is a purely native farm family, and there is no child born in the ancestor.

However, these two brothers are also capable people. Now one is driving the bullock cart in the team, and the other is in charge of the warehouse in the team.

Many times, Zhang Guoqing suspected that there must be something young and old in their production team that had been touched by the brothers.Don't look at people's honest faces, but he has dealt with them, he really believes that people are not good-looking.Just like his old aunt, apart from being shrewd, she seems to be very measured, and who is cheap and not sticky.

But...Unfortunately, Zhang Guoqing still remembers that his cousin Qingfeng was drunk once and once showed off to himself that his mother had a lot of gold rings and bracelets.

Of course, Zhang Guoqing didn't hear this afterwards, but it also left him obsession.Since then, saving gold has become his ideal.

As soon as the car stopped at the door of Gao's house, she immediately walked out of an old grandmother with wrinkles on her face. Her complexion changed drastically and she shouted, "Chuanzi, go and let your father come over."

Zhang Guoqing smiled apologetically at his old aunt.Suddenly, there were two military vehicles parked at the door of the house. It was really scary. I knew he had stopped at the entrance of the village.

"It's okay, I'll get off first."

Once he was born and the second was cooked, the clever Aunt Zhang opened the car door and went to the ground as he said, "Mother, it's me."

"Oh, dead Nizi..." The old grandmother stepped on her little feet and was about to scold her girl, when she suddenly saw the two young men getting off the car, she stopped her voice and looked suspiciously at Zhang Guoqing.

"Grandma, you don't know me anymore. You used to come with me Qingfeng brother and you gave me maltose..."

Aunt Zhang didn't wait for him to finish, and smiled: "Mother,

"Oh, why don't you know? Your mother is not confused yet. I haven't seen this for many years. No wonder I just can't remember it when I look familiar."

"You are a soldier now? Why are you willing? This is your wife, right? I remember, I remembered earlier that everyone said that the old Zhang family married a golden doll. It's this girl, she looks so handsome."

"Xiao Wu, come in with Jiaojiao first." Aunt Zhang hurriedly hugged her mother in. If she were to pull her mother down, it would be dark and endless.

"Old lady, what do you call me for?"

"Father, go into the house and talk about it." Aunt Zhang finished speaking and told her nephew Shuanzi to call his father and uncle back.

Several people entered the main room, and the wife of the Gao family was overjoyed and came out of the east wing. When she went to the main room, she poured three bowls of sugar water over.

At this time, Zhou Jiao deliberately took a look at the other party, frowning occasionally under his smile, looking out from time to time, and then watching the other party's palms rubbing his pants uncomfortably.

This seems a bit wrong.

She believes Zhang Guoqing will notice this too.

The husband and wife looked at each other, and it was estimated that this was something going on.However, since Aunt Zhang didn't mention it in front of her husband and wife, they wouldn't stupidly pierce it.

Before long, their stools were all sitting on hot stools, and Gao Bo ran into the house first, and Gao Er, who was one step behind, also stepped in.

The rush of the two brothers surprised Zhang Guoqing.

"My nephew, go, let's go out and talk. The nephew and daughter-in-law will sit here for a while, and we will come in soon."

Zhou Jiao nodded towards Zhang Guoqing.

After a while, the three people filled the car with three big sacks, and Zhang Guoqing also bid farewell to the two old people, leaving behind the old aunt Zhang who was going to be a guest at her parents' home, Zhou Jiaoli was taken into the car confusedly.

"what happened?"

“The three staff members of the production team here are very strict. They usually stay in the village and eat and live with the villagers. The Gao brothers are worried that it will be his turn to deliver the food, and the goods cannot be kept and they are eager to let go.”

Zhou Jiao knew that he hadn't finished speaking, so she waited quietly.

"I heard them say that once caught in the black market, whether it is to buy or sell, they will all be sentenced to life imprisonment. They say they don't want to make this money, but it may not be true."

"The opening of farmer's markets and bazaars is a big blow to the black market. I think they can't sell them at high prices even if they are on the black market. They are scared when there are investigators coming over to stay here."

Zhou Jiao nodded in agreement.

"There are more than two hundred catties of bacon here. How many pigs do you want? If their two brothers are caught, they will be full of mouths."

"Have you lowered the price?!" Zhou Jiao had no doubt that he would take advantage of the fire.Even if it changes again, the profiteer is still a profiteer, and certain things in the bones cannot be changed.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, "I'm all-inclusive, so the price must be lowered. I have dealt with them before and said that the master who cut two yuan from four yuan. This time they said two yuan by themselves, and I quoted one."

Zhou Jiao smiled with joy covering her mouth.

"Later I looked at the old uncle's face and added a dime. Actually, I didn't take them much. These meats have just been smoked, and they will definitely reduce the weight when they are sold after the spring."

Zhou Jiao squinted at him when she heard the words.It's really cheap and good!If she wants to sell, she doesn't have to go to the black market. After returning to Beijing, she will get double the profit.
