346 The little guy wearing a hood, who might not even be recognized by his mother
Fu Yuanhang felt a little upset because he didn't bring any gift for Chenchen when he went out.
Today, the "Five Tigers of the Base" agreed to go to the town to play. Fu Yuanhang took a rare afternoon off from Mr. Tang. He had lunch at a state-owned restaurant with his friends and went out to play together.
He thought of bringing a gift for the child.
Fu Yuanhang has the stability and maturity of a young man.
It is rare to see a young man's heart, and Mr. Tang is happy to see it happen: "Go and have fun."
Then Mr. Tang asked Mr. Wu to give him a bag of unusual snacks. There were words on the packaging that she was not familiar with, neither Chinese nor English.
"Take it over and eat with your classmates. Don't forget to leave some for Chen Chen. By the way, thank your mother for her specialty. If you have the chance, bring her over for a meal and get to know her."
Fu Yuanhang treated Mr. Tang as his own elder and nodded without being polite to him: "Okay, thank you, teacher."
…
"Here you go." After joining the main force, Fu Yuanhang first returned Mumu's twenty yuan to him.
Mumu pushed back: "Didn't we agree that we would give it to Sister Taozi together? Why are you giving me money?"
Yadan's eyes widened: "Two hundred and twenty, twenty dollars? Wow, Brother Mu, Brother Mumu, you are so rich, then this meal..."
Mumu glared at him: "Don't even think about it. I have no money left. The last ten yuan was confiscated by Miss Zhong."
It was all Mo Jiazhe's fault for letting the cat out of the bag. He said he had given him ten yuan in pocket money, so how come he didn't even give him a peanut?
Aunt Zhong happened to hear this, so the ten yuan that was sewn into his cotton jacket and which he had not yet taken out was confiscated.
Mo Jiazhe followed suit, searched him, and took back the last ten yuan.
Just like that, his little treasury was ruthlessly emptied.
Mumu is a carefree person. Even if his money is gone, it’s gone without him getting angry.
He was also very glad that he had the foresight to "lend" the ten yuan to Xiaomeizi, otherwise it would have been confiscated.
Of course, he had no intention of returning the money he "lent" to Xiao Meizi.
Fu Yuanhang stuffed the money directly into Mumu's pocket:
"My sister-in-law gave me the money. If you can't save it, I can help you save it, but this money is yours."
Mumu took out two big group cards and flicked them: "Alright, guys, I have money, I'll treat you!"
Fu Yuanhang simply did not take his money back:
"I'll save it for you. When you have ten dollars in the future, give it to me and I'll save it for you. This will prevent you from wasting money. You'll have to ask Auntie Zhong for money when you want to buy something in the future. You can't save money at all."
"This dinner is for Dongzi and Yadan with the pocket money we three earned from working part-time. After the New Year, I will talk to my sister-in-law and let you two go to the factory to work part-time, so that everyone will have pocket money." Fu Yuanhang said.
Yadan scratched his head and said, "Ahhang, I was just joking. My mom gave me some pocket money. Let's just pay for our own expenses."
Dongzi also said: "My mother also gave me money. They work in your sister-in-law's factory and have made money. Now they are in a good mood every day. When they knew that I was hanging out with you, they waved their hands and gave me a dollar."
Dongzi took out the money and flicked it.
Yadan also took out some money: "What a coincidence, I also have one dollar."
Fu Yuanhang: "It's a rare opportunity to have a meal together. We'll treat you this time. We still have to go out and play later. You can save the money and buy something else when you earn some pocket money."
Kangzi also said, "I thought so too. I have wanted to treat you to a meal for a long time. It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's have a good meal today. Let's order one dish each, and we will serve meat!"
Mumu naturally had no objection, as he originally wanted to treat the guests himself.
Although it doesn't matter since they are all brothers, it is obvious that Fu Yuanhang's arrangement is better.
Fu Yuanhang poured out most of the snacks given by Mr. Tang and placed them on the table: "These are given by the teacher. You can share some. I'll take these back to Chenchen."
It was the first time for everyone to see such colorful and fancy packaging paper.
"Wow, what is this? The packaging is so pretty, isn't it?" Mumu gently pinched it, "Hey, why does it break when I pinch it? What is this?"
Fu Yuanhang shook his head: "I don't know, the teacher didn't tell me, he just asked me to bring it over and share it with everyone."
Kangzi sighed: "Your teacher is so kind to you."
Yadan picked up another smaller one and squeezed it: "It's hard, I can't break it."
Yasuko said, "They are all different. They are probably candies, cookies, and everything else."
Mumu had already opened the package and put the crushed biscuit into his mouth: "Wow, this biscuit is so delicious, sweet and crispy, and melts in your mouth. I have never eaten such delicious biscuits before."
Duck Egg also opened one: "Mine looks like chocolate. I've eaten it before, but this one is more bitter and not very tasty."
Fu Yuanhang said: "Just try one first, we still have to eat later."
The five boys really ordered all the delicious dishes in the state-owned hotel, such as braised pork, steamed fish, meatballs, and fried chicken. Fu Yuanhang couldn't stand it anymore and finally ordered a vegetarian dish.
A man walked out of the state-owned hotel, touching his bulging belly.
Yadan said, "Ah Hang, remember to tell your sister-in-law when you go back that we must work hard to earn money for our studies and strive to eat as much as this in the future!"
Fu Yuanhang said: "I know it and I will never forget it."
After dinner, Fu Yuanhang was thinking about buying a gift for Chenchen and asked everyone if they had any good suggestions.
Kangzi was brave enough to suggest going to the "black market" to buy things.
Fu Yuanhang frowned: "Not good, right?"
Kangzi said: "It's okay, go and have a look, it's not against the law, you're not selling food, just buying some small things, the red armbands will turn a blind eye.
My mother even saw with her own eyes the red armbands going to arrest the corrupt officials and then going to the black market to buy food.”
In those days, supplies were scarce and tickets were needed for everything. Some families with many children did not have tickets to buy things even if they had money.
I was forced into this situation.
Fu Yuanhang was not a conservative person, so he followed his friends with the intention of taking a look.
The so-called "black market" is actually a relatively secretive agricultural and trade market.
It is a bit far from the People's Square and seems to be a rebuilt abandoned factory. There are people "keeping watch" at the front and back exits.
If Kangzi hadn't come here with his mother, they would never have found it.
As soon as the young men appeared, they attracted a lot of attention.
The people who were “letting them off” probably thought they were harmless, so they just took a quick look and left them alone.
They went there quite late, and when they arrived there were only a few stalls left, and not many people were shopping around.
However, Dongzi and Yadan, who had not seen much of the "world", were still very nervous. They followed Fu Yuanhang and the others in a sneaky manner.
Mumu couldn't help but pat them on the back: "What are you doing? Pay attention, someone who doesn't know would think you're here to steal something."
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately straightened their backs and perked up.
Fu Yuanhang stopped in front of a small stall.
The master was a short man with his face covered with soot and wearing a cap. Even his mother might not recognize him.
Fu Yuanhang looked around and felt it was safe. He bent down, picked up a small object and asked him, "How do I change this?"
