Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu also pricked up his ears. He also wanted to have a taste of such a shocking piece of news!
"Hey, you don't know, it's over there in Maizidian, in the courtyard of the Second Textile Factory! There's a boy who doesn't look like his father at all. Everyone says he must be someone else's son!"
"Isn't that nonsense? It's normal for a child to resemble his mother. Popular science newspapers have said this before. If a child's mother has a stronger sex drive, the child will take after her more!"
"I'm not kidding, the key is that the child has blue eyes! Both husband and wife have black eyes, and they gave birth to a child with blue eyes. How can that be justified?"
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips. He actually understood this! Even if their ancestors had not had mixed-blood children with beauties from the Western Regions, it was still possible for them to give birth to blue-eyed children.
Because the genetic genes for eyes contain recessive genes, there is a certain chance of being born with blue eyes. Denying the blood relationship between father and son based on eye color is not a big deal, it's just ignorance!
Feeling that it was boring, Ye Zhiqiu slipped back to his desk and picked up the teacup to wash it.
He went to Wu Shengli and shamelessly begged him to get some good tea. This was the shrimp from yesterday, which made him feel relieved and his face was restored, so he agreed to let this brat mix some tea.
Otherwise, let alone tea leaves, he would even want to arrange stir-fried pork butt with rattan sticks for this little bastard!
It is said that leaders are leaders, and the tea they drink is indeed different. In this era, tea is not easy to transport, and the tea that ordinary people can buy is broken into pieces.
Although the brewed tea still tastes the same, the feeling of spitting out tea leaves while drinking it is not so pleasant.
However, at that time, most places still relied on groundwater from wells, which was somewhat bitter. Therefore, tea became a good thing to improve drinking water, and even the poorest families would buy these high-quality tea leaves according to the purchase limit.
By the way, at this time, the tea supply for ordinary citizens is limited to one liang per person during the Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, and Spring Festival! This means that for a family like Ye Zhiqiu, with only two registered residents, they can only buy six liang of tea after these three holidays!
The Ye family's tea supply was still the one the factory distributed upon joining the company, just one or two taels per person, a factory benefit. The difference between having a job and not having one was so great that they couldn't even afford to drink tea!
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the office. He Yongjun and the other two had already returned to their desks, whispering something to each other.
Ye Zhiqiu leaned over and heard the two of them discussing about going out to the movies with their partners and how to save money.
Ma Banghua said, "I'll treat you to the roast duck this time, and it'll be your turn in two days. That way, we can invite them twice."
He Yongjun whispered back, "Will it be too much? I'm afraid that when we get together, we'll talk about the gifts we each gave each other! Don't let your partner buy clothes while my partner goes to eat at Lao Mo!
What the hell are you thinking? A meal for two people at Lao Mo's costs more than 20 yuan, why are you so generous?
Ma Banghua was unhappy and said dissatisfiedly, "Aren't you the same? Why the hell did you buy such expensive foreign clothes! I'm worried that when the weather gets cooler, my girlfriend will see your girlfriend's clothes. Will I buy them then?"
“Puff…”
The two people whispering to each other were startled and only breathed a sigh of relief after turning around and seeing Ye Zhiqiu! If others heard what they were discussing, wouldn’t it spread all over the street?
If it was Ye Zhiqiu, then it would be fine. I believe he is not such a nagging person. After all, he also knows that the two brothers are poor!
Ye Zhiqiu simply didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise he might have burst out laughing! Gossiping is addictive, and he's been addicted to it ever since he habitually spread rumors about Li Guangcai in Kaoshan Village.
He Yongjun pulled Ye Zhiqiu to sit down and handed him a cigarette. Ma Banghua attentively took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for him.
The two men's attitude made Ye Zhiqiu feel a little uneasy. He clutched his trouser pockets tightly and asked, "Brothers, are you looking for money? I can borrow other money, but I won't lend you money for a date, even if I'm beaten to death! How can you give money to your brother to hug a beauty while you hug the quilt yourself?"
He Yongjun quickly explained, "How could that be possible? I just wanted to ask if you have any other ways to make money. Could you please guide us?"
Ma Banghua also smiled and said, "Ahahaha... That's what I meant. This relationship is really too expensive. Is there any way to make money?"
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at the two of them, lowered his voice, and asked in disbelief, "Hey guys, who are you targeting here?
Last time, you sold that fish for 50 cents, and each of you shared the 4 cents difference, so each of you made at least 80 yuan! It's only been a few days, and you're already telling me you're worried about money!
The two of them smiled awkwardly and asked each other to explain, but neither of them was too embarrassed to say it!
Ye Zhiqiu thought about the three of them in the village who wanted to sell chickens, ducks and geese. He already had space and didn't want to do this anymore.
Because he had just caught so many fish, Wu Shengli told him that after National Day, he would use this achievement to raise his salary by one level to 35.5 yuan.
So he didn't want to bring another batch of chickens, ducks and geese back to the factory. He wanted to keep a low profile. Even if he brought them back to the factory, he would have no credit and it would be impossible to raise his salary by two levels.
He said impatiently, "Stop, stop, stop. Talk about it if you want, I don't want to hear it! You make me sound like an old woman. Actually, I have no interest in gossip at all. I don't even want to hear it!"
Although he said this, Ye Zhiqiu still pricked up his ears, wanting to see what the two of them had to say.
Ma Banghua sighed, then explained with a bitter face: "Speaking of this, it's embarrassing! Brother, you don't know that the two of us have a rival in love!
Our partners are good-looking, have good figures, and come from good families! So, how can we tolerate a bunch of bastards trying to steal our partners from our compound?
So we spend money, spend money on them, to widen the gap between us and those bastards! They are not as willing to spend as we are, that’s why we brothers are always broke…”
Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu muttered, "Good looks? Good figure? Good family background? Forget about others, I want to see what she looks like..."
He Yongjun heard this and said with a smile: "Don't do that, brother. You are only 18 years old. Why are you in such a hurry to find a partner? The people we are dating are several years older than you, but they are really not suitable for you!"
Ye Zhiqiu came back to his senses and realized he had said the wrong thing. He quickly smiled and said, "Hey, I was just teasing you two! We're all buddies. I definitely wouldn't do something like stealing someone's girlfriend!"
