Everyone in the compound knew the news that Xu Zhiyi had returned.
When I got home yesterday, I greeted many neighbors. If Jiang Mei and Xu Hai hadn't been walking beside me, I wouldn't have believed that this was the sickly second daughter of the Xu family.
Before going to bed last night, Xu Zhiyi gave the things he brought home to Jiang Mei, including the new clothes he made for his elder sister, and asked her to try them on. They were just right.
Grandma Dong has great craftsmanship. Not only did she make the style that Xu Zhiyi wanted in her drawing, she also made slight adjustments to make it look more low-key, generous and beautiful.
Xu Ruyi was very happy. The clothes her second sister brought back were more beautiful than the expensive clothes sold in the store. She immediately decided not to wear the clothes her fiancé Wang Yong bought for her.
The third day after Xu Zhiyi returned was the day when her eldest sister Xu Ruyi got married.
Xu Ruyi and Wang Yong first went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage and obtained a marriage certificate with both of their names, the year, month, and day written on it, and a seal on it.
When Wang Yong brought his relatives and friends to pick up the bride, Xu's relatives and friends took some of the dowry prepared here and went to Wang's house together. The two families gathered together to witness the bride pay homage to Chairman Mao, have a banquet, and conclude the ceremony.
The wedding ceremony was simple and quick, without so many complicated steps. Even the people who came were very close friends. It would be bad to make it too grand and ostentatious.
Xu Ruyi became the new bride of the Wang family. The daughter she had raised for so many years finally became someone else's daughter, which made Jiang Mei very sad.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiyi and Xu Sheng were around, bickering with each other, which made her forget about her sadness.
In the evening, Xu Zhiyi said hello to Jiang Mei, and then took Xu Sheng out.
When Xu Zhiyi was strolling after dinner, he found a black market here, and Xu Zhiyi wanted to find some time to go shopping.
She bought some things for her family and was leaving the next day, but she didn't know when she would be back.
In the few days since she came back, she has deeply felt the love that Jiang Mei and Xu Hai have for her.
She was an orphan in her previous life, and in this life, she has a pair of parents who truly love her, and she will treat them the same way.
Xu Zhiyi asked Xu Sheng to wait for her in another alley while she went into the black market alone.
She put on some disguise, and when she patted Xu Sheng's shoulder, Xu Sheng didn't recognize her at all.
Xu Sheng originally wanted to go to the black market to take a look, but Xu Zhiyi did not agree.
The black market in the city is definitely more dangerous. If she goes there alone and something happens, it will be impossible for her to escape.
"Second sister?" Xu Sheng was startled and shouted in confusion.
"You stay here. If anything goes wrong, just pretend nothing happened and leave quickly." Xu Zhiyi lowered his voice, with some seriousness in his words.
"Second sister, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry about me, I will definitely be able to go back." After Xu Zhiyi said this, he walked towards the entrance of the black market.
The entrance to the black market is in an ordinary bungalow. The area is remote and old, which is perfect for this kind of secret underground transaction.
Xu Zhiyi went forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A vigilant voice came from inside the door.
"Come to buy some things." Xu Zhiyi lowered his voice.
The door creaked open and said, "Two cents."
The entrance fee here is not cheap.
Only after Xu Zhiyi paid the money was he allowed in.
After entering, walking into the room and out the back door, what comes into view is a street. People on the street are carrying baskets, standing or squatting, looking at people passing by.
If someone takes a fancy to something in someone else's hand, the two of them will talk in a low voice, and after they have reached an agreement, one will hand over the money and the other will hand over the goods.
Once outside the black market, people don’t know each other anymore.
Xu Zhiyi walked from one end of the street to the other and found that most of the vendors were selling rice, flour and other grains. The prices were naturally not cheap, and if food coupons were not required, the prices would be even higher.
Xu Zhiyi bought twenty kilograms of flour and ten kilograms of rice.
This is considered fine food, kept for Xu's parents and Xu Sheng to eat. Although his parents are not too old now, they still need to take care of their health.
At Mr. Xu's age, when he is still growing, he absorbs food quickly, gets hungry quickly, and has a big appetite.
Since Xu Zhiyi bought so much at one time, he was considered a big customer, so the bag was given to Xu Zhiyi as a gift.
After buying these two items, it is difficult to carry the others.
When Xu Zhiyi came out of the black market, it was already dark. It was a good time for them to go back without being seen.
Xu Zhiyi held the extra flour in his arms, while Xu Sheng carried the lighter rice.
It was dark now, and there was no one in the alley or yard. When Xu Zhiyi and Xu Sheng returned, the door of Xu's house was ajar, waiting for them to return.
When Jiang Mei saw the two men coming back with a bag, she opened it and found that it was full of fine rice flour.
Jiang Mei was also shocked.
"Nannan, where did you get so much food?" Jiang Mei was not stupid and guessed it quickly.
"You girl, you're so bold just after coming back that you even dare to go to the black market." Jiang Mei lowered her voice with anger on her face.
"Mom, don't be angry. I just want to honor you and Dad. I'm going back to the countryside this time, and I don't know when I can go home."
Xu Zhiyi said this in a low voice with a look of reluctance on his face.
Jiang Mei is the type of person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. After hearing what Xu Zhiyi said, she felt reluctant to let her daughter go, as her daughter would be gone one day.
"Amei, don't talk about our daughter. This is filial piety. You care about us." Xu Hai said happily. He felt happy when his children were filial.
"I haven't said anything yet." Jiang Mei glared at Xu Hai, but still couldn't bear to say anything to her.
"Zhiyi, tell me the truth, have you ever been to the black market in the city near the countryside?"
Jiang Mei was very sensitive. She knew that her daughter had never known about the black market before, let alone had the courage to go to the black market.
Xu Zhiyi thought to herself, could it be that Jiang Mei had some doubts about her?
"I happened to meet him, so I went there once." Xu Zhiyi said half-truthfully.
"I was wondering how dare you go to the black market as soon as you come back. It turns out you go there often in the county town." Jiang Mei stood up and walked back and forth, as if looking for something.
"Mom, I really didn't." It's just that your future son-in-law often goes there, and it's definitely not me.
Xu Zhiyi looked sincere, and what he said certainly didn't sound like a lie.
Jiang Mei found the feather duster in the corner, and seeing Xu Zhiyi speak so seriously, she began to believe it a little.
"Really didn't go?"
"No!"
Jiang Mei breathed a sigh of relief. "Nannan, buy what you can. If you can't, write back and let your parents find a way. You really can't go to that place. You don't even know anyone out there. If you get caught, the consequences will be disastrous."
"In serious cases, you could end up in jail and eat peanuts."
Jiang Mei looked serious and spoke in an extremely serious tone.
She doesn't even dare to think about what would happen to this lovely girl.
Xu Hai also had a serious expression on his face.
Xu Sheng was touching his head beside them. He couldn't stand the serious atmosphere.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I promise you, I will never take any risks with myself. Everything I do is measured and measured, so you can rest assured."
Xu Zhiyi took the matter seriously and loved his daughter deeply, so how could he let them worry?
