Zheng Zhendong considered whether to go to the vegetable market to sell some, but in the end he thought it was better to forget it!
After all, Zheng Zhendong didn't say he was bad at calculating prices for others. Besides, his stomach was growling, so he got up to pack his things.
I put away the fishing gear so that it can be used next time, tied the openings of the sack, picked up the horse iron, picked up the sack and walked home.
…
After returning home and leaving behind his sack and things, Zheng Zhendong took out two cold steamed buns from the basket in the cupboard.
Break the wowotou into pieces and put it in a bowl, pour hot water, some salt and some soy sauce, stir it a few times.
Zheng Zhendong picked up the bowl, ate it while eating and drinking it, and then burped with satisfaction!
Only then did he finally recover. Sitting on the stool at home, Zheng Zhendong didn't want to move at all.
…
After sitting for about half an hour, Zheng Zhendong lazily stood up, then lifted up the sack and untied the rope.
I found another basin, took out the fish and put them in the basin. The basin was filled to the brim.
Looking at this pot of fish, Zheng Zhendong felt worried. He couldn't finish all the fish in a short while. It seemed that he could only wait for his mother to come back before making a decision.
…
Around five o'clock, neighbors who worked at the steel rolling mill began to return to the yard one after another.
Zheng's mother also came back. When she entered the door and saw the fish in the basin, she frowned and asked.
"Lao San, where did these fish come from? Did you go out into the wild again?"
Seeing the expression on his mother's face, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Mom, I finished mailing the letter and went home today to have nothing to do, so I went out to fish for a while."
"But we caught a lot, and our family probably won't be able to finish it all in a while."
When Zheng's mother heard this, she thought to herself that this was indeed the case, and after thinking for a moment, she said to Zheng Zhendong.
"Since our family can't finish the meal, let's share it with the neighbors in the yard. It will be treated as a greeting gift to the neighbors after our family moved here."
When Zheng Zhendong heard his mother say that he wanted to share the fish with the neighbors, he was a little dumbfounded for a moment, and then stammered.
"I've shared it with the neighbors. My hard work has not been in vain. How can I be like you, Mom!"
Mother Zheng looked at Zheng Zhendong with a smile and said in a wicked tone.
"""
"That's right! Just go out and run around if you have nothing to do. Next time you come back with some weird things, I will give them to the neighbors."
"Lao San, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send the fish to the neighbors!"
Zheng Zhendong reluctantly agreed and began to pick fish, leaving a few good fish at home first.
Then, according to the conditions of each house in the front, middle and back courtyards, the fish were distributed to each house, and the fish began to be delivered to the neighbors.
Every time Zheng Zhendong entered a house, he said it was a welcome gift for his neighbors. Basically, every house was extremely grateful.
When sending fish to the Zhongyuan, Zheng Zhendong deliberately did not send fish to the Jia family.
Jia Zhang saw that all the families had sent gifts, but her own family was left alone. She was not happy and muttered at that time.
"You little brat, you are really not a human being. Every family has one except mine. Are you looking down on our Jia family?"
"Don't you know my family is in trouble?"
…
Zheng Zhendong was too lazy to pay attention to her and went home after delivering the fish.
Zheng's mother is cooking at home, cooking the steamed seabass Zheng Zhendong just mentioned.
As soon as the meal was prepared, Zheng Xinyi walked into the house at the right time and asked.
"Mom, I passed by He Yuyu's house just now. Her father made her sweet carp. I really want it. I want to eat it too. By the way, what delicious food does our family make?"
Mother Zheng said dotingly.
"Today our family is having Wutou stewed tofu. As for whether the candied carp will be ready tomorrow, go wash your hands and eat."
The mother and son sat down at the dining table and started eating.
Just after finishing the meal and before cleaning up, I heard someone shouting from the yard.
"After dinner, everyone will come to the courtyard of the central courtyard. Let's have a meeting to discuss and deal with the matters in the courtyard."
…
Zheng Zhendong asked Zheng's mother curiously.
"Mom, do you know what happened? Why are you holding a meeting in such a cold weather and not worrying that everyone will catch a cold?"
Mother Zheng shook her head and said while cleaning up.
"I don't know the specific situation. I'll go check it out later."
…
After helping Zheng's mother clean up, the two asked their younger sister Xinyi to go to bed early at home, then walked out of the room and into the yard.
At this time, several wind lanterns had been hung in the yard, and neighbors came to the yard one after another, standing together in twos and threes and whispering.
After a while, almost all the families in the courtyard had arrived. At this time, Yi Zhonghai looked around first, and then spoke.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!" Seeing everyone gradually calm down, Yi Zhonghai continued to speak.
"The purpose of this meeting tonight is for the factory to negotiate with the street people to provide electricity to nearby homes, and each compound will have an electric meter."
"Let's see how we can charge everyone's electricity bills in a reasonable way, and also deal with some of the bad things that have happened in the courtyard recently."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking and saw that no one said anything, he said to Liu Haizhong Yan Bugui.
"His second uncle, third uncle, you two should give everyone a head start?"
Yan Bugui turned to his hand and said to Yi Zhonghai.
"Let Lao Liu come first. I'll talk later. Lao Liu, please tell me what you think first."
Liu Haizhong took over and said.
"I'll come first, I'll come first!"
First, he deliberately coughed to remind everyone to pay attention, and then spoke loudly.
"Since we need to provide electricity to everyone in the factory and on the streets, let's see how other courtyards do it, and we can just follow suit!"
…
After talking a lot of nonsense, Yan Bugui quickly interrupted him and said.
"I just made a careful calculation. When the lights are installed and the bulbs are all replaced with the same power, we can share the electricity bill equally according to the lamp holder."
After saying this, he looked at everyone with pride. After hearing this, everyone started talking about it. In the end, everyone thought it was okay and nodded in agreement with this method.
"It has to be you, Lao Yan, you know how to scheme."
Yi Zhonghai first praised Yan Bugui and continued.
"Since everyone agrees with Lao Yan's method, this matter is over."
"Next, let's talk about the Jia family's elder brother Jia. Something happened. After Dongxu took over, the salary was low and it was difficult to support the family. Can everyone give their family some help?"
"The other one is the quarrel between Aunt Wang of the Wang family and Sister-in-law Jia of the Jia family this morning."
"The last one is that sister-in-law Jia Zhang came to me just now and said that Zheng Zhendong had just shared fish with the neighbors in the courtyard."
"I just didn't send it to the Jia family. She said that the Zheng family looked down on people and asked Zheng Zhendong to apologize to her and give her three fish as a token of sincerity!"
After hearing these words, everyone started talking about why these three things were related to the Jia family.
The Jia family is really a source of instability in the courtyard. They should stand on the stage and accept everyone's criticism.
…
Everyone has been talking nonsense to me for a long time without discussing the reason.
