Chapter 145: All Parents Are Like This
Fu Jingyou made up his mind. Knowing that Chen Guifen was preparing to hatch chicks in the next few days, he quickly called out to her and asked her to reserve three chicks.
The times at that time were a bit special. Every household was not allowed to raise more than three chickens.
Fu Jingyou planned to keep it at the standard level first, and then slaughter it and eat it when it was almost ready.
Speaking of life, He Hongjin thought that Fu Jingyou was now married and had a family, so he said a few more words:
"Before, you wanted to chase Lu Miao to Beijing, so you tried every possible way to get money."
"Now that you and Lu Miao are married, can you put aside the black market issues?"
Speculation is not a serious matter. If you are caught, you will be punished.
I finally got rid of the hat, don’t get involved in this again.
Fu Jingyou lowered his brows and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said:
"It's a very risky thing to do, but I can't let it go just yet."
"What? What did you say?"
He Hongjin was shocked. "You don't consider yourself, but you also want the girl to consider you. How can this be a good thing? Don't make her worry and worry, and she won't be able to live a peaceful life!"
Fu Jingyou actually also worried about this.
There are pros and cons to being in the black market. The risks are great, but you can make money quickly.
He had very little money left to pay for the hat he had on his head.
"Uncle, I know all this stuff. I know my limits. It's almost November now."
Life requires expenses, and expenses require money. He must at least save enough money to survive and make ends meet on a daily basis.
"I'll only stay until the end of this year. Next spring, whether I return to the team to farm or find another way to make a living, I will definitely do it with a down-to-earth attitude."
He Hongjin sighed after hearing this.
Now that things have come to this, what else can he say?
He understood Fu Jingyou's difficulties.
If Lu Miao followed him, it would be like marrying down. Even if we exclude the idea of "marrying down", he would never let Lu Miao suffer.
But how could it be so easy to feed the little mouth of a young lady who came from a famous family in the city?
Thinking that Lu Miao couldn't even eat this delicious chicken soup, He Hongjin sighed and grabbed the back of his head, feeling extremely worried.
After much hesitation, He Hongjin asked:
"What are you doing in the black market now?"
"I get some mountain products... sometimes I help the people in town bring some things back to the county."
He Hongjin uttered a soft "tsk" and frowned, thinking for a long time before making a decision.
"Why did those people ask you to go to the county to pick up things? Isn't it because the county's inspections are strict? You are not allowed to go on this trip again. If you really have to go through the trouble, just trade some mountain products."
Fu Jingyou subconsciously wanted to refute, but after hearing what He Hongjin said next, Fu Jingyou was shocked.
"Uncle, do you allow me to go?"
He Hongjin snorted coldly, "Don't talk like I can't decide if I want to or not!"
Fu Jingyou pursed his lips, and He Hongjin asked again:
"What mountain goods were there before? What are you getting now? Next time we go into the mountains, I'll go with you."
"?"
“……!”
"I'll go... Uncle, what are you going to do?!"
"Stop talking nonsense. If anything goes wrong, I'll report you. Do you believe it?"
“…”
Fu Jingyou was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No."
"Nothing is impossible."
He Hongjin suddenly laughed, patted the table, and sighed with emotion.
"You're the youngest of three children in the family, and now you're married. If you're going to do it, then make it big..."
"Uncle will protect you, but we also agreed that once you have some money, you will live a stable life."
Although Chen Guifen, who had been silent, was worried, she finally stood up and said:
"Jingyou, your uncle is right. Now that you have a family to support, you can't act on impulse like before. You have to consider the consequences of everything."
Fu Jingyou nodded silently.
My heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
His uncle and aunt were truly the few people who truly cared about him.
After finishing the conversation, He Hongjin waved his hand and asked Fu Jingyou to go back first.
After the others had gone far away, He Hongjin sighed and said helplessly:
"For the sake of my children, I really have to admit my mistakes and make them now, or I will lose my dignity in my later years."
"Isn't that what all parents do?"
This is what happened, but on weekdays many people in the team hid it from others and went to the black market every now and then.
Times were tough, and everyone wanted to have enough to eat and survive.
Who can I blame?
Who is wrong?
Chen Guifen shook her head and went to the kitchen to busy herself.
…
There was still a busy farming season in autumn, and Fu Jingyou helped the team for a while.
Afterwards, he went to the black market and sold the tobacco leaves he had prepared earlier. When he came back, he asked someone to help him get five kilograms of cotton and also bought a few feet of thick cotton cloth.
I expected that Lu Miao would not like complicated floral patterns, nor would he like large areas of black cloth.
Fu Jingyou picked and chose in the department store, and finally bought one with a light green base and large white grid lines.
The cloth is thick, stylish and good-looking, but also relatively expensive.
Not only is the price six cents per foot, but additional cloth coupons are required.
Fu Jingyou was willing to spend money. He earned eight yuan from selling tobacco leaves on the black market in the county, and with the few yuan he brought with him, he spent one-third of the money just on cloth at the department store.
After that, she picked out buttons and needles and thread, and bought snacks and daily necessities for Lu Miao.
I used to live a decent life on my own and didn’t care about anything.
It’s different now. Fu Jingyou wants to bring back all the good things for Lu Miao.
Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand or wasn't clear about, he would ask the colleagues working at the counter.
The comrade at the counter didn't pay much attention to him at first, but later, perhaps because he was annoyed or moved, he gradually began to explain to him.
After Fu Jingyou finished buying things, he thanked her repeatedly and turned to leave. The young female comrades working at the counter behind him all laughed and joked:
"This is the first time I've ever met such a thoughtful man! Let me tell you, he just asked me about sanitary pads... feminine products! I didn't dare to answer at first, and I was afraid he would yell and call others..."
"Hahahaha, this is hilarious. Tell me, tell me, how come he, as a gay man, doesn't feel embarrassed?"
"It was quite embarrassing, but I actually envied that woman. Her husband loves her so much. I've been working at the department store for two years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. What about you? Have you ever encountered such a situation before?"
"No, this is the first time too!"
…
Fu Jingyou was unaware of the hustle and bustle on the first floor.
After he finished shopping, he was carrying bags full of things and was ready. Then he remembered that there was a place selling ready-made clothes upstairs, so he decided to come up and take a look.
As soon as I went up to the second floor and walked around the corners of several counters, I saw a lot of steel ropes pulled in the air inside the counter against the corner of the wall.
There are both fabrics and ready-made clothes hanging on the ropes.
Maybe because winter is approaching, the fabrics on display are all furry and look warm.
Fu Jingyou looked down at the pocket in his hand and regretted not coming up earlier.
If he had known there was such a good thing upstairs, he would have come upstairs to buy it early in the morning.
