In the next few days, the first thing Sha Zhu did when he woke up was to calculate how long it would take until Saturday. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he felt the days were passing by like years.

After finally making it to Friday, Sha Zhu got up early and walked out of the yard before even washing up.

He was afraid that too many people would go shopping on the weekend and he wouldn't be able to get the meat, so he planned to buy two fish and raise them, and cook them tomorrow when the girl came for a blind date.

You can also buy some peanuts, melon seeds, candies, etc. so that you can eat and chat before the meal, so that you won’t feel cramped or nervous.

I have to say, Sha Zhu seems to be quite capable when it comes to preparing food for a blind date. No wonder the old saying goes: You have never eaten pork, but you have seen a pig run.

Lin Donglai also went to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning, planning to buy some meat to make braised pork. He hadn't eaten it for a long time, and he really liked the taste.

Fortunately, he arrived early and bought the last piece of pork belly. After paying the bill, he turned around and saw Sha Zhu who had just walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Sha Zhu ran to the meat stall and saw that only the shoulder bones and fan bones were left. There was probably less than 2 taels of lean meat on them in total, so he shook his head.

Nowadays, people are short of fat and water, so the most popular thing to buy is fatty meat, followed by pork belly and lean meat. The thing they despise the most is pig bones because they have no meat.

"Donglai, you bought so much meat. Did you come to queue up a long time ago?" Sha Zhu looked at the meat in Lin Donglai's hand and secretly regretted coming so late.

When Lin Donglai told him that he had just arrived and there was still some meat left at the stall, he simply bought it all and planned to go home and make braised pork.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he thought of a saying: It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. So he secretly admitted that he was unlucky and walked towards the fish stall again.

There were only a few small whitebait that had been dead for who knows how long on the fish stall. Not to mention live fish, there were not even any larger dead fish.

Disappointment suddenly surged into Shazhu's heart. Today was the weekend and he couldn't buy anything. Tomorrow was Saturday and everyone was off work, so it would be even more difficult to buy fish and meat.

Thinking of this, he approached Lin Donglai and asked shamelessly, "Donlai, I want to ask you for something. I wonder if you can agree to it."

"Brother Zhuzi, if this is related to the piece of meat in my hand, then you'd better not say anything. I bought this meat to make braised pork for Dongyi. No one else should have the idea of ​​taking it."

Lin Donglai spoke out the topic before Sha Zhu made any request. Generally speaking, people would not open their mouths easily after hearing what he said.

Sha Zhu naturally understood what he meant. When he heard Lin Donglai reject him, he was just sad for a moment and then started complaining.

"Dongla, to be honest, I just came here to try my luck today. If there is meat, I will buy it. If there is no meat, I plan to buy two fish and raise them at home. I will cook them for the blind date tomorrow."

"But now, let alone meat, even live fish can't be bought. Oh, what should I do?"

Seeing Sha Zhu sighing, Lin Donglai became playful and simply teased him: "Brother Zhu, you don't have to eat meat on a blind date."

"When the girl comes, tell her that she doesn't want to eat meat today, but there are vegetables. Just eat them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Zhu's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to touch Lin Donglai's forehead, shouting, "Are you confused because of the fever?"

"It's strange that this thing can succeed if you don't have meat to eat when you meet a girl for the first time. It's just like what you said, if you mention cabbage to someone, the girl might just turn around and leave."

"Donlai, stop making fun of Brother Zhuzi. You are very capable. Please help me find a solution."

Everything should be done in moderation. Sha Zhu's anxiety was not fake, so Lin Donglai put away his smile and did not continue the previous topic.

After thinking for a while, I asked him, "Brother Zhuzi, this isn't a difficult thing to do. It's just two fish. I'll go catch them for you tomorrow, the weekend."

"Dongli, are you telling the truth?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

The cloudy look on Sha Zhu's face immediately turned into a bright one: "Dongla, I know you are the best to me in our courtyard. When Brother Zhuzi gets married and has a son, I will definitely let him recognize you as his godfather."

It's really ridiculous that Sha Zhu has already thought about such long-term things before he even has a clue about his fate.

"Brother Zhuzi, what if we give birth to a daughter? Let's talk about this later." Lin Donglai quickly refused, went to buy some seasonings, and walked out the door.

At this time, Sha Zhu also bought a bag of peanuts, melon seeds and candies, and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative holding it in his arms. When he saw Lin Donglai, he quickly ran over and said, "Dongli, wait for me, let's go back together."

Lin Donglai came here by bike, while Sha Zhu came here on foot. If you want to go back with him, you have to carry him on your back, or push the bike and walk back with him.

It was such a hot day, and whether he rode back to the yard carrying an adult man or walked back by pushing the cart, he would be covered in sweat, and Lin Donglai was not happy about it.

So I said to him, "Brother Zhuzi, forget it. I haven't had breakfast yet and I can't carry you."

Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu volunteered and said, "Dongla, I'm strong, you sit in the back and Brother Zhu will carry you, okay?"

Having said that, Lin Donglai naturally agreed. Sha Zhu didn't know when he learned to ride a bicycle, but he rode quite steadily along the way and soon arrived at the yard.

Seeing Sha Zhu and Lin Donglai entering the courtyard together, Yan Bugui walked over with a smile: "Hey, Zhuzi, Donglai, you bought so many things so early in the morning."

Lin Donglai just nodded and pushed the cart back home, while Sha Zhu stayed and took out the things he bought one by one to show Yan Bugui, telling him that these were snacks prepared for the blind date.

The next morning, Lin Donglai went out with his fishing gear. He believed that he must fulfill his promises, which was his principle in life.

Today he did not go to Shichahai, but rode his bike towards the steel rolling mill. The fish in that wild pond are easier to catch, and the weather is too hot and he doesn't want to spend too much time outdoors.

I hope to finish this quickly and bring the fish back before my sister gets up.

After digging some earthworms, Lin Donglai started fishing. Fish love to bite the hook in the early morning. After following the steps to make a nest, Lin Donglai quickly caught five or six big fish and several small fish.

Even if he gave two fish to Sha Zhu, he and his sister would not be able to eat much of the rest. Thinking of this, he came up with a plan: if the time was right, he could use the fish.

On the other side, Sha Zhu got up before dawn and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to buy some meat. Unfortunately, the situation was not better than yesterday, and he still did not buy the fat meat he wanted.

He had no choice but to return to the yard in disappointment. When he walked into the front yard, he saw that Lin Donglai's bicycle was not at the door. He thought that he should have gone to help fishing, and then he felt relieved.

After hurriedly making breakfast and eating Yu Shui, Sha Zhu began to tidy himself up: he shaved his beard, put some water on his head and combed it into a big backcombed hair, and changed into clean clothes.

It was a hot day, so I took out my leather shoes from under the bed, polished them, put them on, and then walked out of the house...
