Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 7 Big Fish Plan

"Mistress, where did these meal tickets and vegetable tickets come from?"

Ma Xiuzhen looked at the pile of meal tickets her son put on the table, her eyelids twitching. She had forgotten whether it was the left or the right, it felt like it was both sides.

Zhang Heping sat next to his grandma and waved to his mother, Ma Xiuzhen. When she came closer, he whispered about his experience of selling fish in the morning and claimed that he was very lucky in fishing.

Ma Xiuzhen still couldn't believe it. She gathered a lot of meal tickets on the table and put them in her left and right pockets. Then she opened the door and ran to the front yard to confirm with the third uncle.

"Really caught fish and sold them to the factory?" Grandma came over and asked in a low voice.

"Yeah! I caught it, and the third uncle took me to the factory to sell it." Zhang Heping explained simply.

When grandma Xie Ermei heard this, she stopped talking and concentrated on making matchboxes.

On the other hand, the second sister Zhang Pandi was staring at Zhang Heping eagerly, wondering what she was planning.

Just after Zhang Heping picked up the first volume of "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" and improved his Chinese medicine skills by 10 percentage points, Ma Xiuzhen ran back with a blush on her face and closed the door again.

"Zhang Heping!"

Zhang Heping was still a little uncomfortable when his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, suddenly called her by her full name.

In the dim small wing with only the cracks and holes in the door letting in light, Ma Xiuzhen took out the meal tickets and put them on the table, looking at her son with a serious face, "You can sell the fish to others, or sell it to the canteen of the steel rolling mill.

However, if you resell these meal tickets and vegetable tickets to others, you will be arrested by the police, do you understand? "

"Speculation?" Zhang Heping quickly understood the twists and turns.

"Well!" Ma Xiuzhen saw that her son understood what she meant, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "From now on, after you catch a fish, you can go home directly and ask the third uncle to take his son to sell fish. Don't get involved. Remember without?"

"Remember!" Zhang Heping responded seriously, and then took out a handful of cents, "Mom, this is the money I got from selling fish before."

After Ma Xiuzhen asked where the money came from, she was surprised and happy when she took the money.

Surprisingly, my son did not do anything speculative, and there was no danger.

Fortunately, the family had repaid the borrowed food a year ago, but my husband, desperate to save face, donated this month's food rations to the families of his comrades, causing the family to be very short of money.

Ma Xiuzhen rubbed her son's messy hair and felt a little emotional for a moment. As she thought about it, she thought that it was time to take her family to take a bath, get a haircut and other trivial things in life.

Zhang Heping had no idea about the one-tael and two-tael meal tickets and the one-cent and two-cent vegetable tickets. He couldn't help but ask: "Mom, how long will these meal tickets and vegetable tickets be enough for us?"

"I haven't counted yet." Ma Xiuzhen said, about to count the meal tickets.

"Mom, there's no need to count. The meal stamps total 51 kilograms and 1 tael, and the vegetable stamps total 7 yuan."

"Normally, one person needs 1 kilogram of meal stamps and 6 cents of vegetable stamps per day; for the five of us, we save a little, and 2 kilograms of meal stamps and 2 cents of vegetable stamps per day are enough."

The family talked about each other again, Ma Xiu collected the money tickets, and then went out to ask the second aunt next door for the time, and found that it was already 11:.

She was thinking about whether to take advantage of the lunch break to give away the six fish weighing more than three kilograms that her son had brought back.

After discussion, the family decided to have a sumptuous lunch today. Zhang Heping went to the cafeteria with 2 kilograms of meal stamps and 2 cents of vegetable stamps, while Ma Xiuzhen took her second daughter to deliver fish.

Go to the middle courtyard.

"If you go out with fish every day and don't give one to my family, you deserve to be beaten to death!"

Perception: Proficient (33%).

When Zhang Heping walked to the middle courtyard with his mother and second sister, Zhang Heping couldn't help but pause in his steps. He frowned and looked at the Jia family on the left. It was Jia and Zhang's voice just now!

Behind the curtain, Mrs. Jia Zhang thought she was well hidden. She stared with triangular eyes and cursed: "Little cripple, what are you looking at! If you eat so much fish, you will one day get stuck in the fish bones and die!"

"Old godly woman!" Zhang Heping cursed, followed up with his mother and the others, and then together they arrived at the door of the third uncle Yan Bugui's house.

Zhang Heping came forward and shared half of the bill with Yan Bugui, who was in high spirits. He borrowed a bicycle, and his mother rode the bicycle and took his second sister out.

"Peace!" Yan Bugui stopped Zhang Heping who was about to go out, and asked mysteriously: "Do you want to catch a big fish?"

……

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, the meal window in the third canteen.

"Silly Zhu, give me a spoon full of fish meat and two big steamed buns today, and I'll tell you some breaking news about Xu Damao."

He Yuzhu waved his hand to drive away the rising white air, and turned his head to look at the speaker, "Hey! Jia Dongxu!"

When He Yuzhu's spoon swayed left and right in the big pot of food, he scooped out a spoonful of dried pickled fish and poured it into Jia Dongxu's lunch box. Jia Dongxu came close to the window and said with a smile: "I just saw Xu Damao following his father out. It’s a blind date.”

"Silly Zhu, you have to work hard! Don't let Xu Damao get married before you, otherwise, he will laugh at you forever!"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu was displeased when he heard this. He dropped the spoon and called Jia Dongxu to come to the back kitchen to have a drink and talk in detail. He also called for a helper to prepare the meal for him.

Zhang Heping heard Jia Dongxu's conversation, but didn't take it seriously. He was now extremely upset because he didn't bring enough food tickets and couldn't buy the pickled fish with good oil and water.

Smelling the spicy and sour aroma coming from the front, Zhang Heping swallowed his saliva dissatisfiedly, feeling that he had been embarrassed by his previous life.

However, at noon I could eat big white steamed buns and fried cabbage, which was actually pretty good. It was better than the food of the previous few days.

……

In the afternoon, the third uncle Yan Bugui took Zhang Heping to Kunming Lake on his bicycle.

By the lake, Yan Bugui kept talking about the legends here.

"Legend has it that the last Queen Mother often released fish in this lake, leaving behind many rare species of fish."

"Some people have seen big fish in this lake that are three to four meters long and as thick as a water tank!"

Zhang Heping didn't pay attention to these rumors, but looked at the lonely figure skating on the ice and the two fishermen far apart in the distance, thinking that there were too many people talking in Houhai, so it was not suitable to stand out every day.

What's more, if you give someone a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms these days, it's no less than Maotai and Zhonghua.

"Peace, how about it? Let's fish here tomorrow?" Yan Bugui said with a hopeful look on his face: "There must be big fish in this lake, and it is quieter than Houhai. Let's build another bicycle and go fishing. Sell!"

"I'm telling you, those factory leaders like big fish the most. The price of big fish can double!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Heping responded, making Yanbu so happy that his face looked like chrysanthemums.

"But..." Zhang Heping put his hands in his sleeves and stamped his feet vigorously, "If you want to catch big fish here, you have to prepare some things."

"Tell me, let me see if I can get it."

Zhang Heping turned around and walked back, moving to keep warm while saying:

"This round trip will take two and a half hours on the road. Once we get here, if we use a hammer to cut the ice, it will take less than half a day. We have to get a hand-operated drill rod to make holes in the ice."

"Fishing rods are useless here, you have to use a spool like a kite string."

"There are also fishing lines, fish hooks, springs..."

The two discussed the plan to catch a big fish together, and returned to the courtyard with a smile, but found that the atmosphere in the courtyard was not right.

"Child, what happened?"

Seeing Yan Bugui and Zhang Heping empty-handed, the third aunt said unhappily: "Jia Dongxu had an accident in the afternoon. His legs were crushed by a machine. I think he will have to donate money again tonight!"

When Yan Bugui heard that he wanted to donate money, his face fell instantly.

"Old Yan, there is one more thing." The third aunt came over, glanced at Zhang Heping, and suddenly shut up.

"Hey!" Yan Bugui was unhappy, "Heping is not an outsider, please tell me!"

The third aunt was a little helpless. She glanced around and whispered, "Xu Fugui gave you 4 eggs. I want you to help with them tonight."

"What happened to Xu Damao again?"

……

Hey... everyone is not an outsider, I recommend you to start!
