Chapter 239 Visiting Relatives

Liu Yinyin shook her head and whispered, "No, I brought you eggs."

Zhang Mingjuan was surprised and delighted: "Another egg?"

Liu Yinyin had just given her pork and eggs a few days ago.

Liu Yinyin secretly handed the bag to her: "I came to answer the phone, and I brought some eggs for you."

I didn't bring much, just twenty eggs.

But for Zhang Mingjuan, twenty eggs were already a lot.

The supply of eggs in the county was tight. Workers only had egg tickets for one and a half kilograms a month, and one person could only eat five or six eggs a month at most.

When the supply and marketing cooperatives were out of stock, even eggs were not available for purchase.

So, twenty eggs is really a lot.

On the black market, eggs are now priced at three or four yuan per pound.

Liu Yinyin only charged Zhang Mingjuan two yuan per pound and earned a little pocket money.

By the way, I'll do Zhang Mingjuan a favor. If Liu Yinyin joins the army in the future.

She would definitely have to deal with the post office. There was a shortage of supplies on the island, so she would have to ask Jiang Cuihua to send her more food.

Zhang Mingjuan happily paid the bill, poured a glass of water for Liu Yinyin, and asked her to sit down and wait for the call.

At ten o'clock, the phone rang on time.

"Hello..." Hearing Gu Cheng's voice, Liu Yinyin asked him, "Are you busy now?"

Gu Cheng's voice was a little tired: "Busy, only ten minutes to make a call."

The new military region has just been established, and Gu Chengdu will be very busy in the next few months.

He didn't have much time, so Liu Yinyin didn't bother to talk too much and asked him directly: "Did you receive the letter I wrote to you?"

"Got it." Gu Cheng asked, "How is Brother now?"

Less than a month after leaving, Gu Cheng never expected that such a big thing would happen in the Liu family.

Liu Yinyin was not in a position to say more to him, so she just said, "Nothing's wrong now, eh..."

After a pause, Liu Yinyin pulled the phone line, hesitant to say, "...My eldest brother means that he really wants to divorce my eldest sister-in-law, but my eldest sister-in-law doesn't agree. I thought that if I could arrange a job for him with you, it would help calm them down."

"But, since my elder brother did something like this, does that mean he can't enter the military zone?"

Even if he wasn't joining the army, no one in the new military district would know Brother Liu.

But they cannot deceive themselves. If they are exposed one day, it will definitely have an impact on Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng said: "I have inquired about it in the past two days. There is a state-owned hotel on the island. If the troops cannot enter, they can enter the state-owned hotel. I have discussed with someone and I can exchange positions with others."

In addition to the new military area, there are several villages of fishermen living on the island.

There is one state-owned hotel, which is not very large and offers lower wages than the military canteen.

Therefore, people there are naturally willing to exchange positions.

Gu Cheng continued, "When you first get in, you are a temporary worker, but after working for a long time, you can become a regular employee, and your salary and benefits are no worse than those of workers in the county."

The requirements for employees in state-owned hotels are certainly not as strict as those in the military.

Liu Yinyin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "According to what you said, my elder brother can go to work in the state-owned hotel over there?"

"As long as big brother is willing." Gu Cheng said.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Who wouldn't want a job? My eldest brother will probably take it. It's another position... Actually, my parents haven't told me about this yet."

"I'll go back and tell them, and let them discuss whether to let the second brother go, the third brother go, or neither of them go."

Liu Laifu and Jiang Cuihua are still quite traditional in their thinking and would not necessarily let all their sons leave home.

Brother Liu...his situation is special.

Gu Cheng nodded and told her: "You have to hurry up on this matter. It's best if you can start working here within a week."

"One week?" Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned. "Are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Cheng: "The troops are understaffed."

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Okay, I'll tell my parents about this when I get back, and let them make a decision as soon as possible."

"Oh right..." Gu Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked her, "If big brother and his men come to the army, why don't you and Yanyan come and play together for a few days? It's just in time for you to have company."

Liu Yinyin was a little surprised: "...Will it be inconvenient? Do we have a place to stay?"

Gu Cheng explained: "There are several military housing units already built. Even if there are no vacancies, we can stay at the homes of nearby fishermen."

Several family rooms were built for the families of the troops to visit their relatives.

Liu Yinyin thought: "Okay, I'll go with my brother and the others."

Since I have a place to live, I might as well go and take a look at the troops.

Gu Cheng said happily: "Once the time is confirmed, I will pick you up then."

The troops have strict time limits for everything they do. Ten minutes later, Gu Cheng hung up the phone on time.

Liu Yinyin put down the phone helplessly, thinking that she would be joining the army in a few days, she felt quite happy in her heart.

Zhang Mingjuan listened to the conversation from the side. When she saw Liu Yinyin hung up the phone, she smiled and asked, "Yinyin, are you going to visit your relatives in the army?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Yeah, by the way, that place is close to the sea...do you want me to bring you some dried seafood? I heard that some of the dried seafood there don't require a ticket."

There are fishermen on the island, and they must have dried seafood, which you should be able to buy with money.

Zhang Mingjuan nodded her head vigorously: "Yes, but don't bring too much. You can buy whatever you like. Probably... no more than 20 yuan."

Things that don't require a ticket are relatively expensive, and prices are high nowadays.

I don't think you can buy much with twenty dollars.

But Zhang Mingjuan only earns a few dozen yuan a month and cannot spend money lavishly.

Besides, dried seafood is not food, just buy some to taste.

After leaving the mail service, Liu Yinyin went to the state-owned hotel to pick up food and then went to the hospital.

Seeing Liu Yinyin inviting them to lunch, Liu Laifu couldn't help but say, "Didn't we say we should go home for lunch? It's only a few hours away."

The girl also bought some braised pork in brown sauce. Braised pork in brown sauce is so expensive. Why spend that money on it?

Liu Yinyin smiled and said: "It's not expensive, I have a sex ticket, it's better than being in the underworld..."

At this time, buying vegetables and meals in state-owned hotels is much cheaper than on the black market, but you need a ticket.

Before Liu Yinyin finished her words, she was interrupted by Liu Laifu, who coughed twice: "Be careful what you say outside in the future."

Some words are not good if they are heard by others.

Liu Yinyin chuckled and said, "Dad, let's eat first. We didn't buy much food, so let's eat something to fill our stomachs."

In addition to the two dishes, Liu Yinyin also bought five mixed-wheat steamed buns, as Brother Liu can't eat anything now.

Five steamed buns...Liu Lai Fu and Liu Er Ge had two each, and one was enough for Liu Yin Yin.
