Because it was a gift, she knew the character of the Niu family. If she gave them the big one, they would definitely not want it. The big one was obviously not cheap.

No matter the appearance or anything else, they are all top-notch. In fact, the two medium ones in her hand are also below average, but they look very good. They are the kind that can't be bought for 44 cents.

However, if it was any smaller, Fang Zhiyi wouldn't be able to give it away, so it could only be like this. If they didn't refuse to accept it, she would definitely take the best one.

However, there should be no apples like this at this time. Even if there were, they would not be eaten by people like them and would be very rare.

But since Fang Zhiyi dared to take it out, he was not afraid of this. Although it was rare, who said that he couldn't be lucky and happened to come across it.

The only convenience in this era is that there is no surveillance everywhere. Even if you tell lies, you don’t have to worry about being exposed.

The Niu family lived in front of their house. The houses on their side were all old. Their family was lucky enough at that time, probably because of Director Meng's relationship, and they were allocated the last row of houses in the compound.

There are only two families in the row at the back. Fang Zhiyi knows the other neighbor very well. He is not a difficult person to get along with. He has a good relationship with her. I remember that when the original owner's grandmother came to visit, her family came out to help.

Then there is the yard in front. There are four families living in front of them. With so many people, friction is inevitable, not to mention a petty neighbor.

Their relationship is neither bad nor bad, as they are all employees of the same factory, but it is not very good either. There are many houses in their compound, with ten families living in it, and there are four more families living next door.

It's quite lively despite the noise all day long. Apart from a few people who just want to watch the fun, everyone else is pretty nice.

Living in front of them were the Niu and Sun families. The Niu family only had two children. The couple were easy to get along with and took good care of the original owner.

The Sun family, who lived next to the Niu family, loved to take advantage of small things. But honestly, they were not bad people, they just liked to scheme and calculate everything.

However, Fang Zhiyi also understood. There were four children in their family. Only Grandpa Sun worked in the factory. His eldest son was a temporary worker. His second son went to the countryside this year. There were also two younger ones, who were only ten years old this year and were twins, a boy and a girl.

These little brats are eating me out of money. If I hadn't planned it carefully, I really wouldn't be able to support so many children. Although they all have city household registration, they only get so little food every month, which is not enough for them to eat.

The Liu family lives in the wing on the left. There is an old woman in this family who loves to gossip about others. However, their family is well-off. There are four adults in the family, and three of them have jobs.

So she lived a very comfortable life. She had two daughters and one son. The daughters were married and the son had been married for many years. He had raised a granddaughter and a grandson for her. The old woman was very patriarchal and the family did not have a good reputation in this courtyard.

The other family was not easy to deal with either. They had a bad mother-in-law who always bullied her daughter-in-law. If they were not in the same yard, Fang Zhiyi would not want to deal with them.

As Fang Zhiyi walked towards the front yard, he was thinking about the interpersonal relationships in their yard, which ones were good and which ones were bad.

She walked to the door of the front yard, which was open, so she walked straight in. As soon as she entered, she saw Grandma Liu washing clothes with a washboard.

Seeing her coming, the young wife put down the clothes in her hands, sat there and said in a somewhat gloomy tone:

"Zhiyi, someone in your family just passed away. It's not good to visit someone else's house. Don't bring bad luck to us."

Fang Zhiyi came in and hid the two apples behind her. Now, hearing her say this, she smiled and said:

"Grandma Liu, I didn't know you believed in these things. It seems that the destruction of the Four Olds isn't thorough enough. How come you've been overlooked? No, I'll go to the street office and talk to them. You should go to class properly."

"Besides, Grandma Liu, I'm not here to visit your house. I'm here to see Aunt Niu. Why are you so scared?"

After saying this, he walked straight in without even looking at her, which made the old woman very angry. Fang Zhiyi knew without even thinking that she didn't know what bad things about her would be said out of his mouth tomorrow.

She walked to the door of the Niu family and knocked. Aunt Niu was at home. Uncle Niu had already gone to work, leaving only Aunt Niu and her little son at home.

Seeing that it was Fang Zhiyi, Aunt Niu quickly opened the door and pulled him in.

"You kid, you just recovered from a cold and didn't even take a good rest. What are you doing out here?"

Fang Zhiyi smiled when he heard this, took his hands out from behind his back, and said:

"Auntie, I went to work today, and by chance, I ran into someone selling apples. He said they were from the mountains over there, and he couldn't eat them all at home, so he secretly took them out to sell."

"I saw they were pretty good, and the price was pretty cheap, so I bought a few. I'm bringing them here for you to try."

When Aunt Niu heard her words and saw the bright red apple in her hand, she refused and said:

"How can such good apples be so cheap? You are not trying to trick me, are you? Besides, apples at this time of year can't be much cheaper."

"And how can you be so bold, kid? Aren't you afraid of being seen by the Red Guards? What are you going to do with Lin Lin then?"

"And take this back to Linlin. We don't want it. It's not easy for you two. How can we take your things?"

Knowing that this matter must not be known to others, Aunt Niu spoke in a low voice. If this was discovered, it would be considered as speculation and profiteering.

"It's okay, it's just an old man with a few apples in his basket. If you didn't know, you would think he was visiting relatives. I'm smart, no one will notice."

Fang Zhiyi thought that no one would find out, he took it from the space, there was no such person at all, how could someone find out.

"We still have two at home. These are for Zhuzi. Now I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. This is my way of thanking you for your help yesterday and the day before yesterday."

"If it weren't for you, I don't know how badly I would have been bullied. I might have to trouble you guys again in the future. Consider this my thank you gift."

Fang Zhiyi touched the little boy who was biting his fingers and looked like he wanted to eat, and then was about to leave. Aunt Niu looked at her son, sighed, and thought about giving her money.

But Fang Zhiyi ran so fast that before she could take out the money, she ran into the yard. Seeing the old woman Liu in the yard, Aunt Niu had to give up.

When Fang Zhiyi returned home, the child was still sleeping. Thinking that it was getting late, she could only be the bad person who disturbed the child's sweet dream.
