However, Ye Zhiqiu didn't mention this right away. He needed to consult Ye Tianya and Wang Xiaolan. Judging from the Qian family's current situation, they definitely didn't have much savings. But if they wanted Yang Gui and the others to help, they would have to pay a fee!
Therefore, the key does not lie with the Qian family, but with whether his adoptive parents are willing to lend money to the Qian family to solve the household registration problem.
After a large pot of food was served, Ye Wubing also served everyone the rice. He said excitedly: "Although our eldest brother often comes back from fishing to add to the dishes, he hasn't eaten tofu for a long time. This time, I have to thank Aunt Liu for bringing back tofu."
Liu Cuihua smiled and asked, "Wubing, you didn't say anything about your brother's fish, but only praised the tofu. Aren't you afraid? Will your brother not bring fish back next time?"
Ye Bailu said innocently, "Auntie, my eldest brother loves me the most. He will definitely bring back the big fish!"
"Oh, Xiao Bailu, you mean your elder brother can make hairtail fish, but your aunt can't make tofu, right..."
"Of course. You can't be asked to make tofu every day, just like Dad can't drink every day! But my eldest brother is really good at fishing. No one can compare to him..."
Everyone burst into laughter, but Ye Zhiqiu was very pleased to find that his younger sister's logic had become more fluent, perhaps because of the new environment.
She used to speak in a childish way, without any logic, but now it proves that she is starting to grow up and become sensible, and is about to become a naughty kid!
In Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, being sensible at a young age is not really sensible, but rather a sign of mischief. Just like Ye Wubing, who was not really sensible at all, but rather a sign of getting into trouble!
But it also gives him a sense of accomplishment. Since he came into this world, he has taken care of her, a little girl who was just learning to speak and couldn't even speak clearly at the age of two or three, and helped her grow up to be one meter tall now.
Ye Zhiqiu helped the four little ones with the fish belly, as this was the fattest part. Children needed nutrition, and sufficient oil and water would allow them to grow taller.
After finishing the meal in a lively atmosphere, Liu Cuihua helped wash the dishes. Knowing that Ye Zhiqiu would have to entertain colleagues later, the Qian family of four did not stay here for long and went home.
Ye Zhiqiu asked Ye Wubing to peel peanuts to make some fried peanuts, while Wang Xiaolan started killing and skinning rabbits.
In fact, it is more enjoyable to stew rabbit meat with the skin. If it is stewed over high heat, the skin will be chewy and chewy, which is particularly enjoyable to eat.
However, furs are valuable now, and Wang Xiaolan couldn't let them waste money like this! At this time, we were exchanging furs, silk, and porcelain for machinery and equipment from Eastern Europe. Although rabbit skins weren't particularly valuable domestically, they could still fetch a good price in Eastern Europe.
Later, we switched to breeding pure white Rex rabbits because the fur of this type of Rex rabbit is very high quality! At that time, wild rabbit fur was withdrawn from the market. In fact, at that time, wild rabbits had also been depleted to a very small number.
So don’t think that just because rabbit skins are worthless now, they were worthless back then! In Eastern Europe, where the climate is incredibly cold, rabbit skins are also very valuable furs. It should be said that any fur is valuable!
Wang Xiaolan peeled the rabbit skin and asked Ye Tianya to clean and chop it into pieces. She said happily to Ye Zhiqiu beside her, "Boss, I found that two female rabbits are getting bulging. I guess they will give birth soon!"
Ye Zhiqiu knew about this because he was the one who released the female rabbit. In the past, pregnant female rabbits were brought into the space.
Now, on the contrary, some of the pregnant ones were released so that Wang Xiaolan would have rabbits to feed. This would prevent her from having nothing to do every day. As she said, she was just bored all day long!
However, winter is coming soon, and feeding rabbits is actually quite troublesome. Although there are many hays and even dried sweet potato vines that can be fed to rabbits, rabbits will continue to lose weight because they consume too much energy during the cold winter.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what should we do with the rabbits in winter? Last year we said we had enough radishes and old cabbage stalks to feed them, but now it's not easy to get those things in the city."
Wang Xiaolan thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go for a walk when I have time and ask the villagers here if they can bring back some old vegetable stems for the winter. If that's not possible, I'll just have to peel them and sell them for money!"
Vegetables are not currently subject to unified purchase and sale regulations. It wasn't until 1960 that urban residents began to purchase rationed vegetables due to supply issues. Therefore, it's still relatively easy to buy vegetables now, and there are generally no restrictions on the sale of vegetables.
At this time, sweet potato leaves are two cents, peppers are three cents, tomatoes are five cents, and cucumbers are eight cents. The most expensive vegetables are only eight cents per pound, and the rest are only a few cents.
So the Ye family still had plenty of vegetables, as they didn't spend much money in a month. As for picking wild vegetables, it was an old tradition. They went picking wild vegetables with the idea of thriftiness and saving every penny.
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Then you can do whatever you want, mother. Anyway, you are in charge of the remaining rabbits. I won't share the money with you no matter how much I sell. I will keep it with you. When I really get married in the future, you can give the money to my wife for safekeeping. You can't let her marry into the family without any assets, right?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. Once she brought up the matter, Wang Xiaolan stopped dealing with the rabbit skin. She turned to Ye Zhiqiu excitedly and said, "Son, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it!
Your Aunt Liu said there's a girl who's beautiful, has a nice figure, and a really good personality. She's still in junior high school! She's the third child in the family. She just took her mother's place this month and started working at a textile factory. Now a bunch of people are trying to introduce her to potential partners!
Your Aunt Liu said that this girl is the best, and she will try to get her for you in the next couple of days to see if she can be brought over to meet you!"
Ye Zhiqiu was not opposed to this. The key was that the girl had to be attracted to him. Otherwise, with his conditions, there was really no need for him to just settle for her!
So Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Mom, I have an injured mother! Aren't you afraid that this girl will really get together with me and use your family assets to treat her mother's illness?"
Wang Xiaolan said excitedly, "This girl's family is incredibly well-off, and she has very high standards. Her parents are both textile factory workers. She has two older brothers. One of them joined the army very early and is now serving as deputy director of the Nanluoguxiang Police Station."
One of her older brothers graduated from a technical secondary school and became a technician at Shougang. Her mother injured her leg and, after healing, walked with a slight limp. She felt unfit to continue working in a textile factory, standing and moving around all day, so the job was transferred to her.
Otherwise, the girl had no intention of taking over the job. She had a fever when she took the exam and originally wanted to repeat a year and take the technical secondary school entrance exam!
Ye Zhiqiu's mouth twitched when he heard this. A family of five workers, how many children of cadres would want to pursue a girl from such a family? How could she be interested in a poor buyer from the countryside like him?
Cheap mother, do you overestimate your son?
