Zheng Baozhu asked Chen Lifang to help her tell the driver of the textile factory to go to her friend's house to pack the peanuts.
Chen Lifang took two packs of cigarettes and went out. Soon, the driver Xiao Zhao arrived.
Zheng Baozhu asked Song Zhimei and Song Sicheng to watch TV at home for a while. She went out with Xiao Zhao and brought them some delicious food.
Xiao Zhao was asked to drive the car to the side of the grain station warehouse and asked if he needed help.
Zheng Baozhu took out 10 yuan and said, "No, but please help me buy six buns, Master Zhao. I didn't eat breakfast."
When Xiao Zhao came back, he saw that the goods had already been loaded on the truck.
"You're really fast. I was only away for a while. Baozhu, are you familiar with the people at the grain station?"
Zheng Baozhu nodded.
Xiao Zhao gave the buns and the change to Zheng Baozhu.
Zheng Baozhu said: "This is the shipping fee."
Xiao Zhao pushed back: "I have a very good relationship with your father, how can I take your money? Take it back now!"
The two of them pushed and shoved for a while, and Zheng Baozhu stuffed the money into Xiao Zhao's pocket: "Master Zhao, it's New Year's Day, I can't let you work in vain. If you don't accept the money, I will be embarrassed to come to you next time if I have something to do."
Seeing that Zheng Baozhu really wanted to give it and there would be a next time, Xiao Zhao of course also wanted to make some pocket money, so he accepted the money.
…
Dong Mei told her husband that the peanut problem had been solved, but her husband didn't believe it.
When he saw a car coming to the door, he quickly called his wife out.
Dong Mei saw Zheng Baozhu getting out of the car, and excitedly took her hand and said to her husband: "I am right, Baozhu is Lifang's daughter, I will definitely do what I said!"
The couple got on the truck to move the peanut bags. Xiao Zhao took Zheng Baozhu's money and went up to help. They finished unloading the goods in a short while.
Each bag of peanuts weighs 50 kilograms, and there are 50 bags in total, which makes it easy to calculate the weight.
Dong Mei took out 2,850 yuan and gave it to Zheng Baozhu, and asked if she could sell peanuts to her friends in the future if they had any.
Zheng Baozhu had planted peanuts in the space, and she could harvest two more crops before she left Beijing. When she heard that Dong Mei still wanted some, she said, "I'll ask for you first and get back to you in two days."
The couple bought the peanuts and were able to open their workshop. They were very grateful to Zheng Baozhu and insisted on having her stay at home for dinner.
Zheng Baozhu used the excuse of helping them ask about Peanut, and the couple let her leave.
…
Back at the textile factory, Zheng Baozhu got out of the car with two large bags in her hands.
When Song Sicheng saw it, he immediately ran over to help carry it.
Zheng Baozhu said: "You are too weak to lift it, call grandma to come."
Song Sicheng shouted, "Grandma, aunt, come and help mom!"
Chen Lifang, who was working in the kitchen workshop, heard it, put down her work and went out, and Song Zhimei followed closely behind.
Chen Lifang saw her daughter carrying two big bags and asked what they were.
When the two took over the bag, Zheng Baozhu felt relieved: "We'll know when we get back."
After entering the house, Chen Lifang opened her pockets and found one bag of apples and the other bag of oranges.
This time was not like later times, when every household could afford to eat fruit.
The Zheng family was well off, but they only bought some fruit occasionally. Zheng Baozhu bought two bags of fruit this time, each containing fifty or sixty kilograms.
Chen Lifang blamed her daughter for spending money recklessly, but at the same time she felt sorry for her, thinking that Zheng Baozhu couldn't eat fruit in the army, so she bought so much at once.
She took some out and put them on the table for the three of them to eat, and Chen Lifang put the rest aside.
Zheng Baozhu saw that Chen Lifang only took out eight oranges and four apples, and said, "Mom, take out more oranges."
Chen Lifang said, "It's time for dinner. Eat less. I'll let you take the rest back."
"Why would I take it back? I bought it for you and dad to eat."
Zheng Youlin came back from outside: "What good things did my daughter buy me!"
Then he said to Zheng Baozhu, "Why didn't you tell me you would be back today? If I had known you would be back, I wouldn't have gone out to play."
Song Sicheng took an apple and gave it to Zheng Youlin: "Grandpa, eat the apple."
Song Zhimei also stood up and greeted him: "Uncle is back."
Zheng Youlin took the apple, took a bite, and touched Song Sicheng: "This is your cheap son, he looks pretty good. Ever since Baoyi got pregnant, big brother has been showing off in front of me all day long. Look, I became a grandfather before him!"
Zheng Youlin picked up Song Sicheng and took two oranges from the table and put them in his pocket.
"Grandson, let's go and show off."
Seeing her husband like this, Chen Lifang shook her head helplessly.
Song Zhimei was amused: "Second sister-in-law, uncle has a really good personality!"
Chen Lifang said: "What's good about it? It can make people angry to death."
…
Zheng Youlin carried Song Sicheng all the way to Mr. Zheng's room, and deliberately said loudly to his eldest brother Zheng Yousen's house: "Mom and Dad, your great-grandson is here to see you!"
Zheng Yousen heard the noise and came over as expected.
"Kid, kowtow to your great grandfather, great grandmother, and great grandfather to ask for New Year's money!"
Song Sicheng did as he was told, kowtowed to the three people, and said auspicious words for the New Year.
Mr. Zheng smiled and gave 10 yuan as a New Year's gift. He also pushed Mrs. Zheng and said, "This child is really good. This is the first time he comes to our house to pay New Year's greetings. Hurry up and give him the New Year's gift."
The parents had given the money, and Zheng Youlin saw that his eldest brother had not yet taken out the money, so he said, "Brother, my grandson has kowtowed to you. If you don't want to give the lucky money, you have to kowtow back."
Mr. Zheng scolded lightly: "Nonsense!"
Zheng Yousen had no choice but to take out 1 yuan and give it to Song Sicheng. Zheng Youlin didn't let him go, "Brother, you are so stingy. You only give one yuan to my eldest grandson. Okay, when Baoyi gives birth to a child, I will also give her one yuan as a New Year's gift."
Zheng Yousen rolled his eyes in anger.
Song Sicheng took out two oranges from his pocket and gave them to Mr. Zheng and his wife.
Old Mrs. Zheng doesn't eat it because it's sour.
Mr. Zheng peeled one, put it in his mouth, and said in surprise, "It's really sweet, not sour at all, my dear, please try it."
Song Sicheng said, "Grandpa likes it. I'll get you some more when I get back."
Old Master Zheng touched Song Sicheng's head and said, "Grandpa is old and can't eat these cold things. You can keep them for yourself."
Zheng Baoyi came in from outside. As soon as she entered the house, she sniffed her nose and said, "It smells like oranges. Grandma, you bought oranges. Give them to me. People say that sour oranges bring about boys and spicy oranges bring about girls. Eat more. I will definitely give birth to a son."
Old Mrs. Zheng gave the sentence in her hand to Zheng Baoyi.
Zheng Baoyi ate one and was still not satisfied, but her grandmother said there were no more.
At Chen Lifang's side, the meal is ready.
"Baozhu, go call your dad back for dinner."
Before Zheng Baozhu could call them, the grandparents and grandchildren came back, followed by Zheng Baoyi.
