Chapter 34 What is a biological brother
"Uncle, do you have a battery ticket here?" The matter of exchanging fish for fishing rods was agreed upon, and Zhang Ze thought about the battery ticket.
If this old man has it at home and is willing to exchange it, then he doesn't need to go to the black market to buy it from someone.
He Weiping was stunned: "Battery ticket, what do you want this for?"
"Fish bite better at night, so I usually go out fishing at night. So, in order to make it easier to walk at night, I went to the scrap yard and bought a flashlight with a broken switch. Now I just need the battery ticket to buy batteries." Zhang Ze took out the flashlight from the bamboo basket, showed it to him, and said.
He Weiping was stunned: "Why did you buy a broken flashlight?"
"Yes, there is no other way. Without a flashlight ticket, I can only go to the scrap yard to find a usable one." Zhang Ze spread his hands, "Uncle, if you have one, I will exchange it with you for a lobster."
"I don't have a ticket for the flashlight, but I do have a ticket for the battery. If you want, you can exchange it for the lobster."
"Of course I would!"
"Okay, then follow me."
He Weiping immediately took him back to his home and handed him the battery ticket.
"Don't forget the lobster you promised me tomorrow!"
"I guarantee it will be delivered!" The ticket for three No. 1 batteries and a lobster weighing 500 to 600 grams will be enough. Anyway, it is easy for him to catch lobsters now.
The main thing is that now you can go fishing even when there is no moonlight at night, and it is also more convenient to walk at night.
I just don’t know how many battery tickets the radio factory can get, but I guess he must use the batteries sparingly.
The wind is only strong at the seaside, but if the wind is a little weaker he can use a torch to solve the problem.
After leaving He Weiping's house, he went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy three No. 1 batteries, and then went to the market to buy a white-striped chicken.
The price is one dollar and twenty-three cents, and you need a ticket.
However, Zhang Ze now has enough tickets, so buying a chicken is actually cheaper than going to the black market.
He took the white-striped chicken, which was mostly wrapped in paper, and put it into the bamboo basket. He also put the flashlight and batteries into the small space.
All the things that needed to be done had been done, and Zhang Ze then walked towards the bus stop.
As soon as he got home, he found a little girl in his yard. Zhang Wu was holding a bowl and slurping something, making the little girl drool with envy.
"Awu, give me something to drink!" The little girl stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look into his bowl. She was the little flower in Zhang Wu's mouth.
There are four older brothers and this one younger sister in the family. Even in rural areas where boys are valued more than girls, she is always treated as a treasure.
There were always delicious things to eat, which made Zhang Wu very greedy, but he didn't expect that the opposite would happen today.
"Awu, what are you drinking?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.
When Zhang Wu heard his voice, he immediately put down his bowl and said happily, "Brother, Mom made loofah soup and put a lot of sugar in it. It's so sweet!"
Zhang Ze suddenly realized that it was the loofah soup with sugar added. He seemed to have not drunk this soup for twenty or thirty years.
Zhang Xiaorui also saw him at this time, and came over to complain to him: "Brother Aze, Awu didn't let me drink the loofah soup."
Zhang Xiaorui is Xiaohua's full name, and this name was given by her father to his eldest son's class teacher.
Zhang Ze was also quite impressed by this little girl. After all, she was childhood sweetheart of his younger brother. After she grew up and got married, Zhang Wu felt lost for a long time.
He didn't know when his brother fell in love with this girl, and he didn't see any signs at first.
Of course, it was useless to like him because his family was poor and others looked down on him.
He doesn't hate Zhang Xiaorui. This girl is just a little spoiled because of her family's pampering, but because she comes from a rural background, it is impossible for her to develop a princess syndrome. Overall, she is a good girl.
"Come here, Xiaohua. I'll make you a bowl of loofah soup!"
"Thank you, Brother Aze!" With his support, Zhang Xiaorui immediately made a face at Zhang Wu, and then happily followed him into the house.
Seeing her walk into the house, Zhang Wu looked at the loofah soup in his hand and suddenly felt that it was not sweet anymore.
Zhang Ze naturally understood his brother's thoughts. He had been enticed before, but this time he finally won a game, which made him feel like a winner.
But the children don’t know that if they keep winning, they may lose their future daughter-in-law.
When Zhang Ze walked into the house, he did not see his mother and two sisters. He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zhang Xiaorui had been pestering Zhang Wu outside.
He made her a bowl of cold loofah soup and drank one himself to cool down.
The sun was even stronger today, and he was tanned badly just from coming back from town.
That is to say, he has been working and exposed to the sun all year round, and his skin has long been tanned like Principal Gu. Otherwise, he has been going out to sea to fish and walking around during this period, and his skin would be at least several degrees darker.

After drinking a bowl of cold and sweet loofah soup, he saw Zhang Wu coming in and asked, "Awu, where are mom and your two sisters?"
Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head in annoyance: "Oh, I forgot, mom and sister went to work today to cut grass for pigs, I came back to bring them loofah soup."
"." Zhang Ze glanced at Zhang Xiaorui who was sipping the loofah soup, then looked at Zhang Wu speechlessly, "I'll take it to them, you and Xiaohua stay at home."
Zhang Wu nodded repeatedly. He didn't dare to send her off now, as he would definitely be scolded if he did. But he never thought about whether he would also be scolded or even beaten when Zhang Huihong came back later.
Zhang Ze took the bamboo tube hanging next to the cupboard, opened the lid and poured the loofah soup into it spoonful by spoonful. After it was eight-tenths full, he picked up the lid, put it on, and walked in the direction of cutting grass for the pigs.
There are some things in the village every day that require every household to take turns to work. This is arranged by the team leader and it is generally difficult to refuse.
However, most of the diligent villagers are eager to do more, after all, cutting grass for pigs is a very easy job.
Not long after, Zhang Ze saw three people working efficiently.
"Mom, drink some water and take a rest first!"
"Aze? Why are you here? Where is that little bastard Awu? I asked him to get some loofah soup, but he's gone!" Zhang Huihong was probably very thirsty. She picked up the bamboo tube and gulped down several mouthfuls before passing the tube to Zhang Qian next to her.
"Xiaohua kept pestering him for loofah soup, so he must have forgotten about you!" Zhang Ze sold out Zhang Wu without hesitation.
As the eldest brother, he has been busy improving his family's financial situation, and has just decided on his wife.
As a result, the younger brother was drinking loofah soup and teasing the little girl at home. If he didn't get spanked on the butt tonight, he would not be a real brother.
Zhang Huihong was indeed furious. She kept cursing and said that she would make sure her youngest son would be in trouble that evening.
Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing were also a little annoyed, saying that this younger brother was not considerate at all and needed to be taught a lesson.
Zhang Wu, who was standing next to Zhang Xiaorui and smilingly asking her if the loofah tasted good, suddenly shuddered for no apparent reason.
He looked around suspiciously: "Xiaohua, do you feel that my house has suddenly become very cool?"
Zhang Xiaorui shook her head in confusion: "No? But the loofah soup is so sweet, Auntie made it so delicious!"
