"Monkey, you stay here and help Red Star find what he wants."
This time, Fatty and I went to Shanghai. We made this one profit and then stopped.
When the time comes, you'll go work at the mine with him. Don't squander the money you save, and don't end up like Fatty, still unable to find a wife at your age."
Liu Weidong was surprised that Fang Meng still had the mind to joke, and even helped Fu Hongxing find what he wanted. He glared at him fiercely, then turned away and remained silent.
The monkey nodded slightly in agreement after hearing Fang Meng's words.
Actually, in the monkey's heart, he felt that what Brother Red Star said made sense.
Working in the black market isn't that easy; those people from the Revolutionary Committee are keeping a close eye on it!
One wrong move and you could get arrested.
If things are going well, they'll go to jail on a farm.
Those who are less fortunate will probably be shot on the spot.
Given the size of Meng Ge and Wei Dong Ge's group, they could very well be executed.
Moreover, the prospect of working in a coal mine, earning a fixed monthly income, and not having to live in fear was very appealing to him.
Fu Hongxing didn't think too much about it; he just hoped that Fang Meng and Liu Weidong would listen to him.
However, we'll probably have to find another way to get the mustard greens and cabbage that we promised Ning Jing.
Actually, he regretted it a little when the other party suddenly made that request.
It's not that Fu Hongxing doesn't want to go out and make money, but he has to be alive to spend it.
You can call him selfish, but he has so many younger siblings waiting for him to take care of them.
Thinking of Ning Jing and the others, he lowered his eyes, but in his heart he was thinking that he couldn't let anything happen to him.
Ning Jing went to find Jin Gui, mainly to tell her so she wouldn't get impatient and think she was just fooling her.
As for the wheat, I'll quietly come and exchange it next time someone comes out alone.
Moreover, they agreed on a time for Jin Gui to bring the meat home, and she went directly to her door.
When relatives bring grain to her door, she reciprocates by giving them some meat in return. Isn't that perfectly normal?
When Ning Jing returned to the supply and marketing cooperative after arranging a time with Jin Gui, Fu Hongxing had already bought salt and was waiting for her.
However, on the way back, Ning Jing could clearly sense that Fu Hongxing was in a very low mood.
Fu Hongxing didn't say much until he got home.
Ning Jing couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the matter of asking about mustard greens and Chinese cabbage yesterday had fallen through?
She endured until evening, when Ning Jing approached Fu Hongxing as he was drawing water from the well and preparing to wash himself.
"What happened to you after you came back? It's okay if you can't get those vegetables."
"At worst, before it snows, Xiuhua and I will go to the other side of the mountain to dig up some wild vegetables, dry them, and we can eat them in the winter."
Fu Hongxing, who had just taken off her vest and was about to dry herself with a towel, subconsciously put the vest back on.
"It's okay, I'll find a way."
Fu Hongxing shook his head and said.
"Then why are you frowning this time?"
If it wasn't about making pickled vegetables, what else could have made him act like this?
Seeing Ning Jing's defiant expression, as if she wouldn't leave until someone spoke, Fu Hongxing helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Then he briefly recounted how he went to find someone today and, incidentally, advised that person to stop.
Ning Jing listened, speechless.
Brother, you went to ask someone for help, and you're cutting off their livelihood?
Even if you mean well, you still have to consider whether the other person is willing to listen to your honest advice!
