After get off work, Qin Huairu sat on the back of the bicycle and kept pinching Jia Dongsheng with her fingers to express her dissatisfaction.
There's no way around it. Anyone would get angry if they looked at the wind for more than an hour under the scorching sun.
"Dongsheng, I'm about to get tanned."
Qin Huairu hugged Jia Dongsheng's waist and began to complain.
"Hey, I'll drop you off at the next intersection. I'm going to buy some donkey meat. I promised someone that we'd have donkey meat dumplings tonight. I'll pass by a store and I'll buy you a bottle of vanishing cream."
"Really, Dongsheng?" Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard that he would buy her vanishing cream. Jia Dongsheng had said before that he would buy it, but there had been no action, which made her think that Jia Dongsheng was just talking.
"Well, I forgot about it before, so I bought it for you this time."
"Then I'll keep watch for you next time."
Qin Huairu was happy to get the benefit. As for keeping watch, that was too easy, just over an hour. Before she got married, she worked in the fields, and it would take a whole day to keep watch.
"Then it's settled."
At the same time, Jia Dongsheng also understood that he and Liu Lan could not stay in the warehouse all the time. If they were discovered, the impact would be very bad.
Therefore, finding a date place is very important.
The courtyard house in Jinyu Hutong seemed like a good place, except that it would expose his hidden wealth. However, exposing it to Qin Huairu and Liu Lan did not seem unacceptable.
After thinking about it, next time if I’m in Goldfish Alley and can play a three-person game, I’ll just expose myself.
When they reached the intersection, Jia Dongsheng dropped Qin Huairu off and then rode his bike to the store.
You don’t need to buy donkey meat now, and you can’t buy it now, but you still need to buy vanishing cream.
There weren't many cosmetics for women in China at that time, but even though there weren't many cosmetics, there were still some rouge and powder.
However, Jia Dongsheng did not go to buy it. Instead, he focused on buying two bottles of vanishing cream, so that Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru could each have a bottle to avoid fighting.
Then he went to the market to see if there was anything he needed.
Unexpectedly, there were people selling fruits, including apples, pears, apricots, peaches, etc., with quite a few varieties. At this time of year, the fruits are almost ripe.
Jia Dongsheng bought some of everything and stored them in the homestay. When winter came, it would be difficult to buy fruit even in the city.
Afterwards, Jia Dongsheng returned to the courtyard carrying thirty or forty plums, a large piece of donkey meat and two bottles of cold cream.
"Second Uncle, you're back."
Banggeng was playing with Xiaodang, Yi Xiaoyue, Yi Xiaoming, and some other children in the yard. When they saw Jia Dongsheng coming back, they immediately came to greet him.
There are about twenty families in the courtyard, with fifty or sixty adults and quite a few children, ranging from those who are in their arms to those who are in their teens, totaling thirty or forty people.
And there are about ten people who can play with Banggeng.
Banggeng's small eyes, the moment he greeted Jia Dongsheng, were fixed on the piece of donkey meat. "Uncle, do you want to eat meat tonight?"
"Well, we're making dumplings tonight."
Looking at Banggeng, Jia Dongsheng smiled. In ancient times, before an execution, the person to be executed would be given a good meal, and Banggeng was like that now.
Tomorrow is the day when the results will be released, and Banggeng has to go to school to get his report card. At the same time, Jia Dongsheng's little bamboo stick has been prepared for a long time, and it's time to take it out and show it off.
Before that, let Banggeng have a good meal of dumplings, because he will be punished tomorrow.
"Oh, that's great. Let's have dumplings for dinner."
"Uncle, can I eat these dumplings too?" Xiaodang looked at Jia Dongsheng eagerly, fearing that she would not be able to eat the dumplings.
"Of course you can eat it."
Looking at Xiaodang's cute little face, Jia Dongsheng touched Xiaodang's head. There was nothing he could do. Compared to boys, he liked girls more. Girls were his little cotton-padded jackets. Unfortunately, Xiaodang was not his biological daughter, but it was the same for his biological niece.
"Uncle Dong, I want to eat dumplings too."
"Uncle Dong, can I have dumplings?"
"Brother Dong, can you let us have some dumplings too?"
“…”
The children in the yard who heard Bang Jang and Xiao Dang talking to Jia Dongsheng immediately joined in and gave Jia Dongsheng a flattering smile while speaking.
Some of these children are of the same generation as Jia Dongsheng, while others are younger than him. They are called all kinds of names.
The reason they said this at this time was simply because these children still remembered that Jia Dongsheng had treated them to a meal of oil-sucking dumplings before.
Jia Dongsheng didn't mind being surrounded by a group of children. Instead, he patted each child on the head and said with a smile, "Okay, the dumplings will be ready soon. Come over with Banggeng and everyone will have a dumpling."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong."
Although these children are small, they have to grow up early in poor families. They understand how difficult it is to have a meal of meat-filled dumplings nowadays.
Although Jia Dongsheng’s roasted whole wolf and Xu Damao’s roasted whole lamb had allowed them to eat meat, eating meat and eating dumplings are two different things.
In the minds of ordinary children, dumplings can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year, and they don’t necessarily have to be made of meat.
Jia Dongsheng's promise made all the little kids excited and they expressed their gratitude to Jia Dongsheng.
Jia Dongsheng was in a good mood when he received the sincere smiles from these children. After all, he couldn't bear to see these children feel sorry for themselves.
All of them look malnourished, but these are children who live relatively well in this era. Most children are not malnourished, but are simply starving.
