Meng Xiaoxing is leaning against the entrance of the middle courtyard.
Zhou Jimin came over and Lao Meng briefly described the situation in a low voice.
Zhou Jimin was speechless when he learned that Qin Huairu was hospitalized due to severe bleeding and needed donations.
It’s true that misfortunes never come singly, and the Jia family is indeed in decline.
After chatting for a while, Yi Zhonghai asked Banggan to hold a tray in front of Xu Damao and asked him to donate money.
In the tray, there is already the 5 yuan that Yi Zhonghai put just now.
Xu Damao looked uncomfortable. He has not yet married Lou Xiaoe, and his salary is not very high.
And he is a lavish spender,
So, we really don’t have much money.
"Why did you only donate a dime?"
When Banggeng saw the 1 cent note on the tray, he immediately became dissatisfied and said angrily.
He Yuzhu, who was following back from the side, couldn't help but say, "Xu Damao, you are not stingy at all. Why did you donate so much today?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Xu Damao said angrily.
"Banggeng, stop making trouble."
Yi Zhonghai had to shout that if Silly Zhu and Xu Damao were allowed to make such a fuss, tonight's donation would no longer be possible.
But at this moment, Zhou Jimin said something to Meng Xiaoxing, and then went home to sleep.
In the house, the four little ones were still standing in front of the window and watching.
When I saw my eldest brother walking towards the house, he swooped and disappeared.
Brother once said that curiosity killed the cat.
So, don’t worry about the courtyard.
But before Zhou Jimin could reach the door of his house, BangGeng was blocking him in front of him.
"Donate money!"
Seeing Banggeng's cold expression, with resentment still hidden, Zhou Jimin immediately laughed.
"Go aside, a good dog won't block the way."
Donate an egg, donate it!
The situation with the Jia family was indeed a bit tragic, but when they bullied the Zhou family before, why didn’t they expect this day to happen?
If you do bad things, you will get a lot of retribution.
Bang Gang, who was pushed away, became angry and immediately rushed to bite Zhou Jimin.
However, he was so frightened by the sudden appearance of wealth that he was nailed to the spot.
The prosperous wealth with its mouth wide open is too sinister.
Therefore, Banggeng peed immediately.
Then, he turned around and ran away crying, losing all the trays.
He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai and others hurried over and angrily scolded Zhou Jimin.
The latter looked back at them coldly, said nothing, and went back to the house directly.
The affairs between his family and the Jia family, and no one in the courtyard’s neighbors know anything about it.
Still want him to donate money?
I want to eat shit.
Outside the door, Meng Xiaoxing took another look. The Zhou family closed the door, and he turned back to the Meng family in the front yard.
A farce has just begun and is already over.
The neighbors all went back to their homes, and Yan Bugui ran the fastest.
Meng Xiaoxing obviously left first, but it was Yan Bugui who arrived home first.
Yi Zhonghai is also worried. He just donated a dime, what should he do?
Unexpectedly, Xu Damao came directly and took back his dime.
"Da Mao, you..."
"Uncle Yi, no one has donated any money."
Xu Damao blew on the one-cent note and walked toward the backyard, mumbling: A dime is also money!
Yi Zhonghai was so angry at these words that he blew his beard and stared, but he was helpless.
Those who killed a thousand people all blamed Zhou Jimin.
Under the night, the entire courtyard is quiet.
After patting Wangcai on the forehead, Zhou Jimin went out.
Today is a day off, and he needs to dig out the basement hidden in the vegetable cellar before moving.
In fact, he started digging after taking the steel rolling mill worker promotion exam.
But the basement is too deep. He has dug down five meters and still hasn't found it yet.
Tonight, no matter what, he had to find the basement.
Avoiding the armband patrol, Zhou Jimin returned to his new home in Nanjianzi Lane.
In the vegetable cellar, a dark hole similar to a deep well appeared in front of you.
When you get to the bottom of the cave entrance, don’t work blindly, just start working.
After digging for nearly an hour and a half, I finally came across a regular stone.
Obviously, this basement is not simple.
After removing the stones, the true face of Lushan in the basement was revealed.
Zhou Jimin did not dare to continue digging those stones, nor did he go directly into the basement.
Instead, a fan was brought in and blew downward from the hole above the vegetable cellar.
First, the basement has been dusty for many years, and it is still six or seven meters deep. There must be no oxygen in it.
When he moved the stone away just now, he smelled a very unpleasant smell, which was extremely uncomfortable anyway.
Secondly, the stone he moved was actually a "brick dome" technology used in ancient tomb construction.
As a result, without knowing the truth, he was of course afraid that it would cause a collapse when he moved other stones.
If it collapses, it will be a big trouble.
After all, the basement floor is his new home.
If it collapses before you even move in, what will other people think?
Is it really a haunted house?
After waiting for the fan to blow for nearly ten minutes, Zhou Jimin took the fan back into the space and prepared to enter the basement.
The stone is not small, and the space left is just big enough for him to pass.
When I jumped from the top, I still felt a pungent smell even though I was wearing a mask.
Resisting the discomfort, he took out a few pieces of wood and stones from the space.
Adjust to the appropriate height to support the top of the basement.
Then continue to expand the hole above the basement.
Then he went back to the vegetable cellar and used the fan to continue blowing.
The smell in the basement is too strong to go away.
After waiting for half an hour, he re-entered the basement.
It’s much safer this time.
The entire basement is not big, but not too small either, about seven or eight square meters.
It is divided into three small compartments, and there is a load-bearing column in the center of each compartment.
There were a total of two corpses and skeletons inside, as well as gold jewelry, books, etc. scattered on the ground, as well as several boxes containing gold, oceans from the Republic of China, etc.
What frightened Zhou Jimin the most were communication radio stations, various arms and ammunition, and manuscripts.
There are also seemingly useless umbrellas, lipsticks and other small toys, which are all deadly weapons.
After reading these things, Zhou Jimin immediately understood that Wu Weihai was really not lying:
This was a secret espionage station of another country in the capital at that time.
Big trouble!
A few months ago, he thought he had missed something, but unexpectedly, he found himself in big trouble and returned home.
Fortunately, foreigners cannot enter the capital now.
However, there must be secret agents hidden in the capital.
And maybe people have noticed him.
Then there is no need for this basement to exist!
Zhou Jimin's eyes turned cold, and then he quickly put everything in the basement, including the two skeletons, back into the space.
Then dig out the soil from the space and completely bury the entire basement.
It wasn't until the vegetable cellar was restored to its original appearance that he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he was about to leave the courtyard, he found someone sneaking in.
Nanjianzi Hutong, the new home of the courtyard.
Zhou Jimin heard the slight sound of the door and immediately hid in the reverse room.
A thin man as light as a swallow came into his field of vision.
Under the night, although he couldn't see clearly, he could clearly feel that this was a woman.
The other party was observing the surroundings very sensitively and alertly, and at the same time, he was still looking for something.
This puzzled Zhou Jimin.
If the other party knows the existence of the basement, then he should know where the entrance is, right? And why did he come here at this time?
After all, this house had been abandoned for several years before he bought it.
But if the other party doesn’t know the existence of the basement, then what does he want to do secretly?
Could it be Wu Weihai?
No, it’s unlikely to be Wu Weihai.
During the previous renovation, Wu Weihai had enough time to search for the basement.
Moreover, Zhou Jimin jokingly said at the time that he would let the other party look for whatever he wanted, and whatever he found would belong to the other party.
Then who is this thin man who is obviously a woman?
After being lost in the lake for a while, Zhou Jimin couldn’t figure it out.
The thin man, on the other hand, had already rummaged through all the rooms in the entire courtyard.
He has now basically confirmed that the other party is looking for the basement.
This made Zhou Jimin completely confused. Who is the special one?
No, if he doesn't figure it out today, he won't be able to live a stable life in the future.
That’s not right, there will be no stable life in the future.
Thinking of this, hey, if I had known better, I shouldn’t have taken advantage of it in the first place.
To be honest, Zhou Jimin regretted it a little.
When he traveled to this world, he made a lot of small moves, but all of them were near misses, and he easily avoided all possible dangers.
But this time, the other party is hiding in the dark, and he is in the open.
Moreover, he also has four little ones, Ding Qiunan, and other family members, so they are very difficult to guard against.
What to do?
In this case, let's stop quietly first and confirm the identity of this uninvited guest.
While he was thinking, the other party went back and forth again.
But nothing was found.
Then, I was disappointed and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Zhou Jimin hurried back to the warehouse space, changed into pure black clothes, and wore a hood, which was professional enough.
Next, he needs to track the other party.
However, it is strange to say that he has been digging in the vegetable cellar of his new home in the past few days, but he has not met this uninvited guest. What is going on?
With the help of the night, Zhou Jimin hung behind the opponent from a distance.
But his eyes were firmly locked on each other.
Of course, in a place like Beijing, there are so many small alleys that it’s easy to lose track of them.
He is different, his eyes are very nice, his physical fitness is not bad, and the other party does not notice him.
Let me tell you, the opponent's subconscious anti-tracking skills are quite powerful.
It's just that Zhou Jimin has a habit of hiding in the shadows, so he gets nothing.
Zhou Jimin's brows suddenly knitted together when he saw the other party sneaking into the courtyard of a small independent house in the Republic of China.
Doesn’t this special thing just make the work more difficult?
After waiting outside the yard for more than ten minutes, there was still no movement or light in the small bungalow.
After nearly half an hour, Zhou Jimin left the yard.
He didn't act rashly, after all, he was not a professional agent.
If you accidentally reveal something, it will be easily discovered by the other party.
After confirming the location of the small bungalow, he went home and slept.
When I got home, it was almost 3:30 in the morning.
There was not much time, so he went directly back to the ground floor space to take a nap.
After sleeping in space for seven and a half hours, I returned to reality at five o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Jimin, who was full of energy, glanced at the third and fourth children who were still sleeping, and then returned to the warehouse space.
He counted the proceeds in the vegetable cellar basement and found that there were two large boxes of gold alone.
A big box is full of large yellow croakers, 154 of them in total.
The net weight of each large yellow croaker is exactly the same, 312.5 grams, so the total net weight is grams.
The other big box contains small yellow croakers, a total of 467 pieces, and the total net weight is .75 grams.
According to the previous transaction between Zhou Jimin and Zidane, the price of one gram of gold is 9 cents, so the above gold is equivalent to the current yuan.
Of course, if calculated based on the bank's price of 3 yuan per gram, it is yuan.
Definitely a huge sum of money!
But during the Republic of China, one tael of small yellow croaker, or 31.25 grams, could be exchanged for 30 silver dollars.
At that time, the total monthly living expenses of a well-off family was only 15 silver dollars. When Mr. Lu Xun was a professor at Peking University, it was 300 silver dollars a month.
Therefore, judging from the prices at that time, this batch of gold seemed to be a lot, but in fact it was not much.
After all, this is the capital station. As a secret agent, there are many government officials who need to be bribed during the execution of the mission, so a small amount of money is not enough.
Yu Deshun was just a dung trader in the capital, but he could exploit hundreds of houses, hundreds of millions of gold, fertile land and shops, etc., not to mention other officials at that time?
During the Republic of China, it was quite chaotic, not to mention corrupt officials.
Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Qingshan, who was fed peanuts, also stole more than 17 billion yuan, equivalent to 20 million kilograms of grain.
Therefore, for many individuals, the 62 kilograms of gold in the basement of the vegetable cellar is a lot, but considering the environment of the Republic of China at that time, it was not a lot.
However, these are not Zhou Jimin’s biggest gains.
There are also a lot of jewelry and other gadgets, and many of them are antiques.
Among the objects that the underlying space wants to swallow, there are eight jewelry items.
After sorting the gold and jewelry, Zhou Jimin turned his attention to those big boxes.
These large boxes are all filled with porcelain, calligraphy and painting, bronze and other antiques, and more than half of them have a very strong desire to devour the space on the ground floor.
In other words, this place is full of treasures.
And these are just things left over from a Beijing site.
One can imagine how many antiques the country lost to overseas countries back then?
Zhou Jimin threw those two skeletons directly into the ground floor space as fertilizer.
Based on the environment in the basement, I think these two people must have been spies.
It's just that there is too little oxygen in the basement, all the exits are blocked, and there are troops surrounding it, making it difficult to escape.
Therefore, these gold and jewelry were buried with him.
Then there are the weapons and ammunition, all of which are high-quality products produced from across the Pacific.
Like the m1903 manual rifle, m1917 Browning machine gun, m1919 Browning machine gun and m1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, they are all extremely lethal weapons.
Moreover, although it has been more than ten or twenty years, these guns and ammunition are obviously still usable.
Looking at these weapons, Zhou Jimin was very excited. Although they cannot be used openly, they can be used quietly.
After taking inventory, he took a few pieces of ordinary-looking jewelry and came to the ground floor space.
The moment he entered, all the jewelry was sucked to the top of the space.
In the ground floor space.
Zhou Jimin stared blankly at the cloud-like beads at the top of the space. There seemed to be a dragon swimming inside.
This is so unreasonable.
According to the previous two devourings, the bottom space should be expanded to the ground below.
What's going on?
So, he selected a few antiques from them.
Then something happened that surprised him. The jewelry that had been swallowed before actually reappeared in his hand.
However, what is different from before is that the jewelry has a new look, but it is very dull and has no aura at all.
His heart sank. It seemed that the underlying space had such a magical effect by swallowing some important substances carried by these antiques.
But what about black jade and the previous blue and white porcelain?
Immediately afterwards, he threw all the jewelry and antiques stored in the warehouse space to the ground floor space.
The cloud beads above became more and more solid and hard, but did not get any bigger.
And jewelry and antiques are all back.
Antiques are still antiques, but they have been taken away.
Zhou Jimin didn't care about this. He wanted to know more now, what is the use of this cloud bead?
However, when he put the Yunwu Bead in his hand and played with it, he discovered something strange.
My body felt warm, and some of the scars on my hands slowly disappeared.
And the longer he plays with it, the better-looking his body skin becomes.
This startled him.
Could it be that the purpose of these cloud beads is to treat hidden wounds?
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately returned to reality, grabbed a rabbit from the rabbit nest, and took it to the bottom space to experiment.
The experimental results made him very excited.
A cut rabbit can be healed in almost seconds, but more serious injuries such as broken bones will take several minutes.
Returning to reality again, Zhou Jimin set his sights on making money.
Wangcai was staring at the sleeping Wangcai when he was suddenly carried back to the ground floor by his owner. He was very happy.
The next moment, there was a bark and the dog's leg was broken.
Wangcai: Master, what are you doing?
Its eyes were very resentful, but immediately revealed a touch of human shock and curiosity.
Because it found that its broken leg was warm and very comfortable.
It didn't take long for Wangcai to be cured.
As soon as it was cured, Wangcai ran far away, avoiding the clutches of its owner.
"Small, this is my territory, where can you run? Come here!"
With such a threatening call from his master, Wangcai had no other choice but to walk over slowly and fearfully.
Half an hour later, Wangcai finally returned to reality.
I saw that its eyes were drowsy, its face was blank, and it had no idea about dog life at all.
The master is so terrible. From now on, it must resolutely carry out its master's orders, otherwise, if it is tortured again, its life will be completely over.
At this time, Zhou Jimin walked out of the house.
When I got outside, I found a deserted place, changed my appearance, and then walked out again.
This time, he was more thorough than before.
The style actually changed to that of an ordinary old man, wearing clothes that had only a few patches but were washed white, and there were not many spots on his face, but the details were outrageous.
Even if Little Goldfish and the others saw him now, it would be impossible to recognize him.
I'm afraid that Wang Cai will be confused, after all, the smell of his body is covered up by the sweaty smell of the old man sweeping the floor.
It's past five o'clock in the morning, and dawn is right in front of us.
Outside the small bungalow, Zhou Jimin appeared nearby dressed as a sanitation worker.
Before he started working, he saw an old man cleaning a hundred meters away on the street.
Let’s go together!
Without saying hello to the old man, Zhou Jimin just started cleaning on his own.
But his eyes kept paying attention to the small bungalow.
Sure enough, at early six o'clock, a woman wearing a gray Lenin suit walked out.
The figure was exactly the same as the one he saw before. He didn't run away, it was this person.
After a quick glance, Zhou Jimin stopped paying attention to him.
This kind of person is very scary. His concentration and memory must be amazing.
However, once you see the other person’s appearance clearly, the next step will be easier.
With such a fashionable and well-fitting Lenin suit, and living in a beautiful small bungalow in an independent courtyard of the Republic of China, this person's job on the surface must not be simple.
Therefore, it is relatively easy for him to find out clearly.
After completing the mission, Zhou Jimin planned to evacuate.
Moreover, there are already pedestrians on the street at this time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Turning to the corner of the street, Zhou Jimin changed his clothes, then quickly rode away from the other side.
It was so exciting last night, I’m afraid I won’t be lonely anymore.
After returning home, Zhou Jimin looked at Wangcai with a faint look in his eyes.
Wangcai almost scared Wangcai again, but this time he didn't dare to move.
But Zhou Jimin was thinking about the five hunting dogs in the courtyard of Anning Village outside the city.
Since you have moved to a new home, and your new home is still being targeted, you must have a protective force.
There is no doubt that hunting dogs such as Wangcai are Zhou Jimin's first choice.
In other words, it is the only choice.
This was 1959. If he wanted to hire a bodyguard, he could only become an officer with a very low position or a particularly important person, but obviously, this was impossible.
Without thinking too much, Zhou Jimin had already made his decision.
Breakfast had just been prepared, the four little ones also got up, and Ding Qiunan's family also came over.
Today is a great day for moving, and it is also the day when Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan got engaged.
Moving in the morning and having an engagement dinner in the evening.
Therefore, when the family eats breakfast, it is much faster than usual.
After breakfast, I started to clean up.
"Jimin, don't we need to move the basement?"
Ding Qiunan was packing up things in the kitchen and asked casually.
Zhou Jimin shook his head and said, "No, I moved there last night, don't worry."
When you get to your new home, there is no need to use the basement.
At the very least, it’s not necessary at this stage.
And since there are many houses in the new home, there are five houses in the back room alone. Are you worried that there will be no room to put things?
When their family made a big fuss, the neighbors realized belatedly: It turned out that the Zhou family was moving away!
There was no news at all before, so tight-lipped.
In the He family, only He Yuyu stood in front of the door, looked at it, and then went back to the house.
There is no one in the Jia family, after all, Qin Huairu is still hospitalized.
Although I suffered heavy bleeding during delivery last night, I managed to save my life, and the little Sophora japonica was also saved.
Xu Damao and the Liu family both came over and pretended to want to help, but Zhou Jimin politely refused.
First, he doesn’t have much stuff at home, and second, he has enough manpower.
He and the four little ones, plus the five members of the Ding family and the eight members of Lao Meng's family, also called three cart masters to help pull the goods, which was completely enough.
Meng Xiaoxing only found out today that Zhou Jimin had moved, so when he came to Zhou's house in Nanjianzi Lane, he was completely shocked when he saw more than ten houses inside.
South Jianzi Lane, Zhou Family.
"Jimin, that's good, that's good. Our family is very relieved that Nannan will marry you."
My father-in-law helped carry the bowls into the living room and walked around the courtyard again. The smile on his face was something I had never seen before.
Let’s not talk about the house. The yard is big enough. If you grow some vegetables, it can feed and drink for six people in the Zhou family. No, seven people.
The current Zhou family, including Ding Qiunan and Zhou Qingxian who are about to move in, is not a family of seven?
It is actually just right for so few people to live in such a large courtyard.
After all, when the three brothers Zhou Jimin spread their wings, the family will become overcrowded.
However, that was more than ten years later.
Ding Qiunan blushed when she heard her father's words.
By chance, she met Fan Zhaodi, who also looked at her with a smile, and she couldn't help but feel even more shy.
"Dad, it doesn't matter if you don't worry, it only works if Nannan feels reassured."
As Zhou Jimin changed his tune, Ding Rushan became even more excited and flushed. He patted the former on the shoulder several times and said good words several times.
It was completely different from the discomfort of losing money when one's own cabbage was lost to pigs. Even Su Ruyun looked at Zhou Jimin with a smile on her face:
"Jimin, shouldn't you be treated as an equal?"
"Mom, look at what you said, how could that happen?"
The conversation between the three people suddenly made Ding Qiunan even more shy. With a squeak, he rolled his eyes at Zhou Jimin and ran away.
At the door, Zhou Shumin, who was walking on short legs, hugged her most important things and rushed straight to the east wing.
Her house is not small, it is 18 square meters in size and has a bathroom.
Not to mention anything else, she could roll around on that big bed without falling off.
This is a small-leaf red sandalwood bed, which was used by high-ranking officials or people in the palace in the past.
It is a bed full of craftsmanship, with fine and complicated workmanship.
Meng Zitong also walked in and was shocked again when he saw this room.
"Little goldfish, your brother is so kind to you."
Looking at Zhou Shumin who was happily humming something unknown, Meng Zitong said sourly.
With a length of 2.4 meters, a width of 1.7 meters, and a height of 2.8 meters, it will be no problem even if there are five more children, let alone the little goldfish.
"Brother Dahua is also very kind to you, and my brother is not good to you?"
When the little goldfish said this, Meng Zitong was speechless for a moment.
Can this be the same?
However, although she doesn't understand very much, she is also very well-behaved and can't fall out with the little goldfish.
Otherwise, her father and her brother would definitely not be on her side, and would even punish her.
A thousand-year record of being favored by others. When she heard her father say these words, she felt like cocoons. How could she forget?
It is true that there is strength in numbers.
With so many people helping, the move was completely over in the middle of the morning.
The home in Nanluogu Lane has been completely vacated, and the doors of the two houses are locked.
Zhou Jimin has not yet decided how to deal with these two rooms.
But the banquet for moving into a new house should begin.
The three cart masters smiled and took the money handed over by Zhou Jimin, said congratulations and turned around to leave.
Zhou Jimin also turned around, returned to the reverse seat room, and started preparing lunch.
One of the rooms in the inverted house is directly used as a kitchen.
In fact, the east and west wing rooms are most suitable for use as kitchens, but if there are many children in the family, it is better to place the kitchen on the opposite side of the room.
The inverted house is in the south, facing away from the sun, so the light is not very good.
Therefore, it is not suitable for living, but for kitchen use, it is not a big problem.
There are a lot of guests today. There are five people from the Ding family, eight people from the Lao Meng family, including Fan Zhaodi, and seven people from his family. There is a lot of food to cook in total.
There is definitely not room for one table, so we have to divide it into two tables.
There are ten dishes per table, and they are all perfectly presented.
"Jimin, did you take care of these elbows last night?"
Su Ruyun, who was helping in the kitchen, looked at the pork knuckles in the pot with a dull look on her face.
Seeing him nodding, I couldn't help but feel sad:
"I said, Jimin, why are you so stubborn? Just leave these things to Nannan and me. You said you were busy at night, and you even moved the basement. I guess you didn't sleep all night.
?Go and have a rest quickly."
With that said, he asked Ding Qiunan to help him push his son-in-law back to the master bedroom in the north room to sleep.
Zhou Jimin couldn't laugh or cry, but he had no choice. His mother-in-law and Ding Qiunan joined forces, so he had to obey.
Besides, this is for his own good.
But how could he sit still?
He slept for a full seven and a half hours last night, otherwise he would have two panda eyes by now.
Returning to the master bedroom, Ding Qiunan closed the door and let him have a good rest.
In the kitchen, Fan Zhaodi was also helping, while chatting quietly with Zhou Shuqing.
The ten dishes for lunch today, except for one dish of stir-fried green beans and one dish of garlic cabbage, are all hard dishes.
Not to mention the sauced elbow, Zhou Jimin made it last night.
Two must-have dishes every time you entertain guests: taro and tiger skin braised pork and Hakka three-fermented rice wine. They can also be steamed directly in the pot.
There are also Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Sea Salt Baked Chicken, Beer Duck, Roast Goose, Tiger Skin and Chicken Feet, etc. Basically, everything has been dealt with.
Therefore, there is not much work left for Ding Qiunan and the four of them.
This was not the first time that Fan Zhaodi had dinner at Zhou's house, but this time she was still severely shocked.
Not to mention how big the new home is, the size of the food is also jaw-dropping.
Fortunately, she is very clear and understanding, so until now, she has not shown off anything outside the Fan family.
Otherwise, given the situation in the courtyard, everyone would know clearly that the Zhou family’s food is so good.
What is a little strange is that every time Fan Zhaodi returns to the courtyard, her neighbor Li Meifeng always comes to her house to chat.
Don’t ask about Zhou Jimin, don’t ask about the Zhou family, just care about this little guy Zhou Qingxian.
What is there to talk about for a little girl who has just turned one month old?
Besides, although Li Meifeng is a widow, she has never given birth to a child, so why are you asking about this?
Of course, doubts were doubts. Fan Zhaodi just assumed that the other party liked children, and did not think deeply about it.
At noon, the aroma of food filled the entire courtyard.
Lunch is just here in the middle hall, with only two tables, there are exactly 19 people except Zhou Qingxian who can only feed herself.
There was enough meat and vegetables, so everyone opened their stomachs to eat.
Meng Xiaoxing was most touched. Today's meal was basically prepared for his family.
After all, there are eight people in his family, seven children, all of whom are the most edible little boys.
In addition, his family has been short of oil and water for a long time. You can imagine how much profit his family made from today's meal.
At first, Meng Zhenhua and his brothers did not dare to eat too much.
Later, after Zhou Jimin glared at them, they picked up their bowls again and continued eating.
Under their influence, the little goldfish ate a lot.
Compared with half a year ago, the little goldfish now has completely changed.
Although she is still very thin, she can be said to be pretty.
My face no longer looks like a dish with no nutrition, it is much cuter.
Near the alley of Nanjianzi Lane, Zhoujia.
After the housewarming party, it’s the engagement party in the evening.
The Meng family were not invited to the engagement banquet, and Fan Zhaodi was also not invited.
"Jimin, can these wedding photos be hung here?"
In the master bedroom, Ding Qiunan, Su Ruyun and Zhou Shuqing are decorating the wedding room, as well as the naughty little goldfish.
Zhou Jimin originally didn't participate, but Ding Qiunan asked him to come in every now and then.
This made my father-in-law very unhappy.
After all, he is chatting with his son-in-law.
The main thing is the arrangement for Ding Xiaochuan.
Ding Xiaochuan, who is seventeen years old, has worked in a cotton spinning factory for more than half a year, earning an apprenticeship salary of seventeen yuan per month.
If compared to other families, the four members of the Ding family have income, and they are definitely a well-off and wealthy family.
However, Ding Xiaochuan was not satisfied.
Yes, before Zhou Jimin appeared, Ding Xiaochuan was very satisfied.
But with this brother-in-law who is one year younger than him, he feels dissatisfied everywhere.
Therefore, Ding Rushan came to Zhou Jimin for advice.
For this job, Ding Rushan spent a lot of effort and almost emptied his family fortune before sending Ding Xiaochuan to the cotton spinning factory.
The cotton spinning mills these days are also the best units.
If you say you don’t want to do it, then you don’t want to do it?
Zhou Jimin was in the master bedroom, and after talking to Ding Qiunan for a few minutes, he returned to the living room in the middle hall, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Ding Xiaochuan and asked:
"Xiaochuan, do you have any ideas? If you don't want to be an apprentice, do you want to take the electrician certificate? Or join the army? Or do you want to go to university?"
Electrician certificate?
Ding Xiaochuan was the first to refuse. After learning that his sister had found an electrician boyfriend, he immediately went to find out how to verify it.
To be honest, those electrician books are too difficult.
It's similar to the ghost paintings in Maoshan. They know him, but he doesn't know them.
It was almost the same as going to college, but he ruled out this option.
Why?
Today's high school students basically graduate at the age of sixteen or seventeen. If they take the college entrance examination, they need to take eight subjects.
Since 1952, colleges and universities across the country have implemented a unified examination, also known as the college entrance examination.
There are 8 subjects in total including Chinese, mathematics, chemistry, Chinese and foreign history and geography, physics, political knowledge, biology, and foreign languages (Russian and English).
In addition, on the third day of the college entrance examination, additional written tests and technical subjects will be arranged. Candidates must take the exams in all 8 subjects.
If Ding Xiaochuan's IQ was strong enough, he would have been a college student long ago.
But he is very tired.
In addition, if he had been born two years earlier, like his sister, in the years from 1952 to 1956 when the admission rate was extremely high, maybe he would have been lucky enough to become a college student.
After all, in 1952, a total of 73,000 people nationwide applied for the exam, but 66,400 were admitted.
Luck and strength are indispensable.
So, for Ding Xiaochuan, it seems that the only option is to become a soldier.
Ding Rushan was shocked by his choice and immediately rejected it.
In Ding Rushan's mind, a good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not make nails.
However, Zhou Jimin agreed very much.
In the next ten years, there will be no war in the country.
The local war in the south had almost no impact on the country.
"Xiaochuan, I support you, and if possible, I suggest you go to the desert."
Zhou Jimin was full of praise and continued:
"In June of this year, our country will advance into the northwest. If you follow the army and train in the army for five years, I guarantee that you will be reborn."
Speaking of which, Ding Xiaochuan has caught up with the good times.
If you join the army at this time, you are very likely to be selected.
"Jimin, did you hear something?" Ding Rushan couldn't sit still. What's going on?
Without a thorough understanding, how could he dare to put his only son in the northwest desert?
And it’s still five years!
"Dad, I can't tell you what it is specifically. You and Xiaochuan should also treat it as if I didn't say what I just said and must keep it strictly confidential."
Although Zhou Jimin didn’t disclose anything just now, he still said with a serious face.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Ding family father and son looked at each other with curiosity.
But if the son-in-law doesn't speak, there's nothing they can do.
"Also, dad, while it's March now, you should hurry up and ask mom to marry Xiaochuan. By then, you will have a baby, and you won't have to worry about anything."
Ding Xiaochuan suddenly became shy.
But Ding Rushan looked at Zhou Jimin, speechless: If he asked Xiaochuan to serve as a soldier just after getting married, wouldn't that make his daughter-in-law a widow?
Judging from what Zhou Jimin said just now, if he really went to the desert to serve as a soldier, he wouldn't be able to return home halfway.
If the level of confidentiality is so high, doesn’t it mean that the daughter-in-law will be left a widow?
But now Ding Xiaochuan no longer wants to be an apprentice, and electrician certificate and college are not enough, so he has no choice but to join the army.
As for the option of going to the countryside, Zhou Jimin did not mention it, and Ding Xiaochuan was even less likely to choose it.
"What worries?"
In the master bedroom to the east, Ding Qiunan and Su Ruyun came out, and the former asked curiously.
"Your brother no longer wants to be an apprentice, but wants to be a soldier. Jimin suggested that your mother and I hurry up and find a wife for your brother, so that our Ding family will have no worries."
Ding's father nodded to Ding Xiaochuan, and then looked at Zhou Jimin worriedly:
"Jimin, is this desert really as good as you say? Can it be completely transformed in five years?"
Nonsense!
Damn it, who goes to the desert for five years and comes back a completely different person?
One year in the army can make you feel like a sow is competing with Diao Chan, let alone five years? And five?
?The kind that cannot leave the desert even half a step in a day.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
I just don’t know if Ding Xiaochuan will regret it after getting married?
Young people must know the taste by eating the marrow.
"Dad, don't worry."
Zhou Jimin smiled and said, "When Xiaochuan comes back, you will definitely be shocked."
In the living room, the third and fourth children also came out of their respective rooms. Two sisters, Zhou Shuqing and Little Goldfish, also sat aside, listening to the adults chatting.
Su Ruyun had already begun to get into the mood, discussing with Ding Rushan what kind of girl she was.
Even Ding Qiunan and her sister discussed it enthusiastically.
Zhou Jimin couldn't even say anything about this, so he just listened happily.
Outside the door, Wangcai saw his master's gaze, wagging his tail and grinning.
When it saw its owner waving to it, it immediately trembled, but it still obeyed the command and walked over happily.
It’s impossible not to go, the owner will really torture it.
But the fourth child was very curious, "Brother, why is Wangcai so afraid of you? Yesterday it was fine, but today it has been acting weird. Especially after moving, he stayed at the door and was unwilling to come in."
What else could it be because of?
Zhou Jimin touched Wangcai's dog's head and said something casually. Then he saw Wangcai suddenly stand up and then gallop away towards the gate.
