Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Xia Mingshuang has never had a good impression of Gu Yulian. Although she did not get into a fight, she blamed Gu Yulian for killing the original owner and treating Miao Miao's children harshly in the book. Xia Mingshuang would not forgive her. Even if what happened in the book hadn't happened yet, Gu Yulian was actually encouraging her to have an affair when she first crossed over.

She smiled and said: "Everyone has their own destiny in marriage. If she marries well, that is her blessing."

She didn't want to talk about Gu Yulian talking to Aunt Guixiang about buying chickens and eggs.

It’s the New Year after Laba Festival, and no matter how poor your family is, you still have to find ways to buy New Year’s goods.

Although the movement has not advocated using old customs to celebrate the New Year in recent years, and has advocated new customs for celebrating the New Year, bowing to the statues of great figures is considered New Year greetings, but the rural commune members have no culture and knowledge, and they have to discount several things they said above. They don't understand it at all.

Even if the party secretary, captain, accountant and others understand, they are still weak and accustomed to old customs, so naturally they still live according to their own habits.

The village gradually delivers the pigs, and those who are anxious push them to the commune's pig collection station to sell, while those who are not in a hurry wait for the pig collection station to go to the countryside to collect them.

In addition to getting money from selling pigs, you can also exchange them for some meat stamps, cloth stamps, feed stamps, and even get food stamp rewards. The pig-raising members are very happy.

There are also people who save eggs and sell them to supply and marketing cooperatives, or sell a few chickens at home. After the chickens are young and yellow, there are no weeds and insects. No one is willing to feed the chickens with too much grain, and they will not feed the chickens properly. If you don't lay eggs, you raise them in vain, so sell what you can.

Xia Mingshuang's family doesn't raise pigs, but only has three chickens. Before, he killed one because it didn't lay eggs. Now he has two left that still lay eggs and he is reluctant to sell them. Seeing that all the villagers were selling chickens, she discussed with Zhao Juying, Aunt Guixiang and other acquaintances, secretly bought a few chickens, slaughtered them and froze them in a vat outside, so that she could eat them until the first month of the year.

At this time, eggs are sold to supply and marketing cooperatives for 7 cents and [-] each. In private transactions, eggs are usually sold for [-] cents each. At the end of the year, if many people buy eggs, they will cost [-] cents each. If you go to the black market in the city, you can get them for [-] cents or even [-] cents. There are a lot of risks to be taken, and you have to travel in the cold.

Live chickens generally last about a year or two, and are not very big. They weigh only two or three pounds of feathers at most. They usually cost one yuan per pound, and one or two yuan for old hens. One to three yuan per chicken is enough.

Xia Ming has money in her hands. She can't do anything with money these days except for food, so she decides that she can't take advantage of her family. The key is that she can't buy it.

She didn't dare to buy it blatantly, fearing that the villagers would be jealous and report her, so she asked Zhao Juying, Aunt Guixiang, and Gu Heping's family to help her. If the eggs and chickens from the three families were not enough, she would get some from other people she knew.

A few years ago, Xia Mingshuang finally bought 20 chickens. There were more roosters than hens, and she also bought 7 eggs. She gave them 5 cents each. Zhao Juying and Gu Heping refused and insisted on giving her 5 cents. Xia Mingshuang Good or bad, only 6 points and 5 points.

She wanted Gu Yunshan to help deliver New Year's gifts, but unfortunately he didn't have time, and he looked like someone other than the world, so it was impossible for him to send New Year's gifts.

He doesn't do this kind of thing.

Xia Mingshuang wanted to send it off by herself, but it was not easy to ask for leave all the time, and it was not appropriate to ask Gu Liangshan to do it.

Seeing that she was in trouble but not thinking about himself, Da Zhuang was a little unhappy, "Mom, can't you see that I'm such a big person? Give it to me, I'll send it off!"

Xia Mingshuang looked at him, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. Don't tell me, it's really good!

She smiled and said, "Let your uncles bring the chickens for you in the morning, and you can deliver them from house to house on your bike."

Erzhuang immediately came over and said that he also wanted to help share the burden.

Xia Mingshuang: "You are still young, how can you take care of chickens when your brother takes you?"

Erzhuang pursed his lips, "Mom, don't you look down on people? Although I am small, I have a mouth? My mouth works better than my elder brother's!"

Xia Mingshuang: "Then why don't I let you, brother Nianjun, go with us?"

Erzhuang was stunned for a moment, that's right, but... Brother Nianjun is not a close relative. If he went to the county, wouldn't he steal his eldest brother's limelight?

Xia Mingshuang looked at Er Zhuang's expression and knew that this kid was very scheming. Now that she was spoiled by her, he dared to say that he didn't like to be as scheming as in the book when he played straight ball every day.

She smiled and said, "Okay, call your Brother Nianjun, and the three of you will go together."

She was nice to Gu Nianjun mainly out of respect for Zhao Juying and the martyrs, and also because she wanted to find a brother for Da Zhuang. Together, the brothers could suppress Da Zhuang's temper and recklessness. The two brothers also had competition when they studied together. People are nice.

She is also quite willing to support Gu Nianjun and let him go out and gain experience, so that he will have a good future when he grows up.

When Gu Nianjun came over to study after dinner, Erzhuang whispered to him, "Brother Nianjun, are you going?"

Gu Nianjun was still a little embarrassed, fearing to embarrass Xia Mingshuang, "Can I do it?"

Da Zhuang looked calm, "Don't you still have me?"

Gu Nianjun agreed, "Auntie, I'll go!"

Xia Mingshuang asked them to talk to Gu Liangshan and Gu Heping respectively and come to their homes tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, they put the well-fed chickens into two baskets and tied them to the bicycle. The three brothers followed them to the county to deliver New Year gifts.

Stationmaster Qin’s family has four, and Xiaobai, Zhou Chengguang, and Zhou Zhengqiao’s family can have two.

People in the city are rich these days, but they don’t eat meat, eggs, and milk casually. One person can only eat three to two or seven eggs a month, and there are even fewer children. What is the use of these things for 30 days? In modern society, one meal only consumes half a pound of meat.

Anyway, many city people are racking their brains for that piece of meat.

Xia Mingshuang asked Zhong Lian to give two chickens to Fang Rong and Zhao Huilan. She wanted to give two to Zhong Lian, but Zhong Lian naturally refused to take them, saying that she was burying someone. He was a driver who traveled everywhere, so it was very convenient to buy two chickens. How could I have her?

After giving the New Year's gift, Xia Mingshuang asked the third sister to kill the remaining six and freeze them to eat slowly.

You can't do it without killing them. Six chickens eat a lot of food a day. Even bran and grains are not that much at home. Two chickens will be enough. How can you afford to raise six?

Da Zhuang led Gu Nianjun and Er Zhuang to give New Year gifts to others. He first went to Xiao Bai, and then asked Xiao Bai to take him to Station Master Qin.

Station Commander Qin is a retired army battalion commander. He is 47 years old. He has a tall build, piercing eyes, and a very loud voice. He already admired Gu Yunshan, but after hearing Bai Jianning talk about Xia Mingshuang, Dazhuang and others, he admired the Gu family even more.

Now I see Da Zhuang, Gu Nianjun and Er Zhuang. Although Gu Nianjun is a bit worse in appearance than Da Zhuang, he is very energetic and has a sense of righteousness between his brows.

He knew that Gu Nianjun was the son of a martyr, so he was naturally very kind to him.

He didn't refuse. He accepted the four chickens and asked them to return half a bag of frozen hairtail, a few large yellow flowers, a few pieces of soap, and a few hand towels for them to go back and share.

He originally wanted to keep the children for lunch, but Da Zhuang said they had to go to another house, so he asked Xiao Bai to send them there.
