Now Zhang Qiurui secretly writes novels in class during the day. He has returned to his old job and is full of energy. He is no longer bored and has something to do throughout the day. Time flies.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on September 20th, which happens to be a Saturday, so we have two consecutive days of holiday.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Qiurui made a big profit in the black market.
I bought 20 kilograms of meat, 10 old hens and 20 kilograms of rice at a trading supermarket, and sold them to the well-dressed workers in batches.
I don't know if it's the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Those workers seemed to be particularly generous. Not only did they not bargain, but they also took the initiative to ask Zhang Qiurui if he had any other goods he wanted to sell.
In less than an hour, all 20 kilograms of rice were sold out, 15 kilograms of pork were sold, and five of the ten old hens were sold. At the end of the day, she earned nearly 30 yuan. Now her assets are as high as 55.65 yuan.
This is much faster than selling things on the black market in a scattered manner before, and it makes more money while reducing exposure.
After Zhang Qiurui met Zhou Tan for the second time in another alley in the black market, she greatly reduced the frequency of going to the black market to resell.
Just then, more than ten days later, I went there the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On September 20th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Qiurui, Zhang Wenmin, and Zhang Mingqi packed up their things. Zhang Wenmin, carrying a backpack, walked towards the production team of Zhangli Village.
The school has two days off. I will go home to celebrate the holiday and stay for one day today. I will come back the next day after having lunch at home.
As for the mushrooms grown at home, they left for a day and asked Yu Yang to come and water them regularly to maintain the humidity of the mushrooms.
Yu Yang was also very surprised when he knew that they had grown mushrooms. He also learned from Zhang Wenmin that they had not told their family about growing mushrooms to sell for money, so they had to buy three turns and one ring from Zhang Wenmin with the first batch of mushrooms to use as a betrothal gift to marry her.
Yu Yang was very touched and came to their rental house from time to time these days to participate in mushroom cultivation.
In the kitchen, two wooden troughs were stacked on the left and right sides of the back, tripling the space for growing mushrooms, and they have been put into use.
As for the vacant space in the backyard, the wooden house has not been completed yet.
"Little sister, what did you prepare in the backpack to take home? It feels a bit heavy." On the way home, Zhang Wenmin was carrying the backpack. He felt it was a bit heavy and was also curious about what his little sister would bring home.
"A pound of fruit candy, a pound of egg cake, two pounds of pork, and ten eggs. The pork and eggs don't require tickets, I asked my classmates to get them. My third sister-in-law also prepared ten red bean paste mooncakes and a pound of white sugar for me to take home for my parents. That's all." In fact, the fruit candy, egg cake, pork, and eggs were all taken out by Zhang Qiurui from the Onion Trading Supermarket. He took the opportunity to go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival to supplement his family's income.
As for the matter of asking classmates to get meat, I also told Mingqi not to ask about it anymore. After all, it is not a good thing. Zhang Qiurui did this to avoid being exposed.
Later, Zhang Qiurui will actually spend money to get meat from Wang Shi's father. It is inevitable that you will get your feet wet if you walk by the river often. True and false, false and true are the highest level of fakery.
"You can't buy these things with the food allowance I give you. Where do you get the extra money to buy them?" Zhang Wenmin couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. He had carefully calculated the food allowance he gave to his younger sister, so how could he have extra money to buy these relatively luxurious items?
"Before, my third sister-in-law came to our house to see that the mushrooms we cultivated had grown successfully. I told her that I would use the money from selling mushrooms to buy her three tangs and one gong to marry her.
When my third sister-in-law heard this, she was probably a little touched, and she forced fifty cents on Mingqi and me. Together with the money you gave me before, these things were also borrowed from classmates, and they were cheaper than at the commune, so we barely scraped together the money and bought them.
If you don't believe me, ask Mingqi." Zhang Qiurui pointed at Zhang Mingqi.
"Uncle, this is true." Zhang Mingqi nodded as a witness for her aunt.
"You bought these things. Go back and tell mom yourself! You bought so many. Let's see if mom will scold you." Zhang Wenmin smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of pampering and helplessness.
"My eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, second sister, second brother-in-law, and several nephews and nieces will be here today. If we divide up these things, there won't be much left in our hands.
"As for pork, is two pounds too much? With so many people eating, we'll have to fry a pound for lunch today." Zhang Qiurui also understood what her third brother meant. It was simply that he was spending money lavishly, and her mother was reluctant to spend it.
We walked, stopped, talked and laughed along the way. We left home at eight in the morning and arrived at the production brigade at nine.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the production team has not arranged anyone to work. Everyone is immersed in the festive atmosphere. Some are busy preparing lunch, while others gather together to chat.
Look, when the people in the team saw them coming back, they greeted them with smiles.
"Weming, Qiurui, Mingqi, you're back."
"What delicious food did you bring back today?"
"How are Qiurui and Mingqi doing in their studies in the county? Are they doing well academically?"
"Mom and Dad, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, we are back." Before entering the house, Zhang Qiurui's voice reached the house first.
"My uncle, aunt and elder sister are back." The first few children in the house cheered excitedly when they heard the voices. Their small bodies seemed to be equipped with springs, and they rushed to the door one after another.
Their faces were filled with innocent smiles and their eyes were shining with anticipation and joy.
"Oh, I miss you so much! Have some candy!" As soon as Zhang Qiurui entered the door, he was surrounded by the group of little ones. He bent down and picked up the youngest Mingxia, kissed her on the cheek, and peeled a piece of fruit candy for her, which made Mingxia giggle.
"Zhixi, Zhibei, Zhouzhang, Zhouxing, you are here so early. Have some candy and egg cake." Zhang Qiurui distributed the food to the children and signaled Mingqi to send the food to the kitchen first. Then she and her third brother went to the main room.
Zhixi, Zhibei, Zhouzhang and Zhouxing. The first two are her eldest sister's sons, one is eleven years old and the other is eight years old. Her eldest sister also has an eldest son, Zhinan, who is fourteen years old this year.
The latter two are her second sister's sons, one eight years old and the other five years old.
After entering the main hall, her parents were outside, and everyone of her generation was sitting inside, talking and laughing, chatting about things.
"Mom and Dad, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, eldest sister, second sister." After entering the main room, Zhang Qiurui called everyone one by one.
Zhou Guihua didn't know if it had been a long time since she saw her little girl, so she asked Zhang Qiurui to sit next to her.
