On this day, Zhou Shuqing came home in the afternoon and found that her home was very cool.
Especially when passing by the vegetable cellar, it feels cooler.
There is no doubt that there is ice in the ice cellar.
In the living room of the central hall, the little goldfish had its mouth flat and its face full of grievances.
Facing the wall, stand still.
This is a penalty stand. Zhou Shuqing couldn't help laughing. She must have done something bad again, right?
I saw her eldest brother sitting with a serious face, flipping through the book and looking at the little goldfish from time to time.
If the little goldfish is lazy or makes other small moves, her big brother will immediately cough, scaring her to stand up quickly.
"Brother, what happened to Lao Wu?"
Zhou Shuqing put down her schoolbag and looked at the little goldfish with interest. The latter snorted and seemed to say: What are you looking at?
"Xiaoqing, please help me teach her a lesson. She actually dares to hide in the ice cellar to sleep? She really is in danger of dying."
Zhou Jimin is helpless.
Originally, it was a good thing to have an ice cellar. The doors and other items were all open and not locked.
The weather is exceptionally sunny today and the temperature is soaring.
The little goldfish was fine. It was too hot at home, so he went directly to the ice cellar to play.
I didn’t know what was going on, so I ran back to my room, hugged the quilt and went to the ice cellar to fall asleep.
If Wangcai hadn't been with him, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, he called Su Ruyun, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
Only a little goldfish can do such a dangerous thing.
As soon as she heard this, Zhou Shuqing's eyes suddenly turned red, and she pulled the little goldfish and wanted to spank her.
Although Zhou Jimin is the eldest brother in this family, she is also the second sister.
After her parents left, the eldest brother has always been the supporter of the family. As the second child, she wanted to help more eldest brothers.
After all, the eldest brother is only sixteen years old, she is only fourteen years old, and the little goldfish is only five years old.
She was still young and couldn't work to make money, so she just wanted to discipline the third child and the three younger ones.
It’s okay to forget about her previous temper and love of acting coquettishly, but Zhou Shuqing couldn’t stand what the little goldfish did today.
So, the little goldfish was miserable.
Zhou Jimin was reluctant to hit her because he really loved her, so he was forced to stand still.
But Zhou Shuqing was different. She was the second sister. She would beat the little goldfish whenever she picked up a bamboo stick. As for the little goldfish crying for father and mother, she pretended not to hear it.
As she was being beaten, she burst into tears.
When the third and fourth children came back and saw this scene, they stood side by side on the wall at the door of the living room, standing very straight.
The angry second sister is so scary.
Su Ruyun on the side couldn't bear it. She wanted to give some advice, opened her mouth, and finally sighed.
After all, she has no position to persuade.
Moreover, to be more serious, she failed to fulfill her duty of care.
It's just that Zhou Jimin didn't say anything.
In the master bedroom, Ding Qiunan came out with Zhou Qingxian in her arms without saying a word.
But after watching Zhou Shuqing fight for so long, she still couldn't help but speak.
But he was stopped by Zhou Jimin, "Let her hit her. The little goldfish won't remember this lesson if she doesn't teach her a lesson."
Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes and complained: "You, the big brother, can sing really well when singing red faces."
Others can't understand, but she can.
Zhou Jimin just doesn’t want to beat the little goldfish himself, so he probably doesn’t want to.
But both Zhou Shuqing and Lao San are qualified to beat her up, and even her sister-in-law is qualified.
It's just that he didn't let Ding Qiunan take action, and Zhou Shuqing happened to come back first.
Therefore, Zhou Shuqing did her job with this pretty face.
Now it seems that the effect is good.
Not only did it give the little goldfish a long memory, it also shocked the third and fourth elders.
"Okay, Xiaoqing, it's almost done."
Seeing that the little goldfish could no longer cry, Zhou Jimin finally spoke.
"This is medicine, take it and apply it on it."
Zhou Shuqing nodded, took the medicine, and asked the little goldfish, "Can you still walk?"
The latter felt aggrieved and tried to stand up, but almost fell down.
It can be seen that this time, her second sister is cruel.
After the two sisters left, Zhou Jimin called the third and fourth children over again and told them not to stay in the ice cellar unless they had nothing to do. If necessary, just come out with ice cubes.
He put a lot of ice in the ice cellar, all of which were large ice cubes obtained from the warehouse space.
In the ice cellar, he used a cleaned wooden barrel and placed some small edible ice cubes in the barrel for easy access.
Also, the meat that needs to be frozen should be placed directly in the ice cube refrigerator.
Anyway, the ice cellar is a world of ice and snow. It’s okay to come here occasionally, but you definitely can’t stay for a long time.
Even if you enter the ice cellar, you still need to wear winter clothes. There are several military coats hanging at the door of the ice cellar.
With the example of the little goldfish, Lao San Lao Si has already remembered it in his mind.
The weather is hot and everyone eats little for dinner.
In fact, in the past six months, the living conditions at home have skyrocketed.
Especially after moving to Nanjianzi Lane, I am a single family and I am no longer afraid of my neighbors.
Eat better.
If it were this time last year, with a table of delicious food, I would have drank it all.
"I'll go get some mung bean paste for appetizer."
Zhou Jimin stood up and said, others can skip meals, but Ding Qiunan can't.
She is not one person now, but two people.
In addition to her, Ding Xiaochuan also has a daughter-in-law, Fang Xiaochun.
This happened the day after Ding Qiunan confirmed that she was pregnant. Su Ruyun took Fang Xiaochun to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was pregnant.
It's just that Fang Xiaochun is not here.
Before he reached the kitchen, Ding Rushan came over from the gate, holding a telegram in his hand.
When I saw him from a distance, I shouted:
"Jimin, good news, Xiaochuan sent a telegram, saying that he has joined the desert project, haha."
"Really?"
Zhou Jimin was very happy when he heard this.
As long as you join this program and work hard for a few years, whether you are discharged from the military or continue to work in the army, you will be much better than being an apprentice.
After all, it takes three years for an apprenticeship to become a full-time job.
But if you get through well in the army, return to work, perform meritorious service, or become a captain of the factory security section, that won't be a big problem.
Everyone in the living room also walked out in surprise.
For a time, everyone became happy due to the news brought by Ding Rushan.
After a while of excitement, Zhou Jimin brought out a lot of mung bean paste and waited for everyone to drink it.
I also prepared a wooden box for my father-in-law and asked him to take it back to Fang Xiaochun and Ding Qiuhong.
"No, they can't get used to this."
My father-in-law doesn’t want to take advantage, because he has already taken a lot of advantage.
Every time he picked up Su Ruyun, Zhou Jimin would ask him to bring something.
It made him feel embarrassed.
"Dad, the baby in Xiaochun's belly needs nutrition. Drink less, it'll be okay."
A must-have for relieving the heat in summer, how could someone not be used to drinking mung bean paste?
After waiting for two days, he got the ingredients, made some sour plum soup, and chilled it. This summer will be more comfortable.
When Ding Rushan heard this, he was speechless for a moment:
Qiunan married a good man!
Time flies like water, and before you know it, June is already halfway over.
It has been nearly a month since I returned from the Northeast.
Zhou Jimin is becoming less and less interested in work.
Neither Lao Yang nor Section Chief Jiang can do anything to him.
It's no problem to approach him for big things, but if you approach him for small things, you'll get scolded by him.
Even Lao Liang doesn’t dare to come to him these days.
But yes, Zhou Jimin will take the college entrance examination soon.
If others don’t know about this, will Lao Liang not be aware of it?
At noon that day, after a long period of silence, a reward notification was suddenly played.
It's about the good news from the car company.
He Yuzhu didn’t quite understand what he heard. It seemed like it was a self-developed car?
Anyway, I don’t know how serious it is, so it’s just a shame.
And this time the reward is 3,000 yuan in cash and a bus ticket.
Not to mention the latter, the reward of three thousand yuan alone made He Yuzhu completely confused.
The reward was still three hundred or five hundred before, but now it has soared to three thousand?
Qin Huairu, who came to get food, also heard the broadcast.
I was so shocked that I stood on the spot!
She replaced Jia Dongxu and is now just an apprentice with a monthly salary of 18 yuan.
According to this salary level, she would have to work for 167 months, which is almost fourteen years, to earn 3,000 yuan.
How terrible!
What was even more frightening was that when she came back to her senses, she heard the discussions of other workers around her, which immediately made her breath short.
Because there is one more sentence at the end of the broadcast, that is, Zhou Jimin actually donated two thousand yuan to the country for national defense construction.
How wonderful would it be to donate all of the two thousand yuan to her?
Xu Damao, who was chatting with a certain widow, also took a big bite of a big steamed bun.
That Zhou Jimin is really rich, with two thousand yuan, he donated it right away.
He is obviously only a sixteen-year-old boy, but he has become a young genius, which is amazing.
It would be great when I can have so much money.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangfu and other courtyard workers were all shocked by the broadcast at noon today.
It's a pity that Zhou Jimin doesn't live in the courtyard anymore, otherwise, I would have asked him to donate some money tonight.
That is to say, Zhou Jimin doesn't know this. If he knew, he would probably spit in their faces.
Donate an egg!
He received the rewards from Lu Jiyi and the others yesterday, and this was the first time he felt how exciting these rewards were.
Therefore, he donated two thousand yuan immediately.
He does not need to do this personally. Xu Mei, the finance section chief, knows this better.
However, Lu Jiyi and the others expressed confusion about his generous move.
So Lao Yang guessed something, but he didn't quite understand.
After all, this is a new society. If there are people who really don’t want to see Zhou Jimin get so many rewards, they are jealous, but what can they do?
Just like Peking Opera master Lao Mei, the monthly salary at this time is 2,100 yuan, which is the country's emphasis on special talents.
You know, during the Republic of China era, Lao Mei’s appearance fee was 10 gold bars.
To be honest, 2,100 yuan is really not much for Lao Mei.
However, Lao Mei also donated most of the money to the country.
Zhou Jimin is also committed to supporting national defense. At the same time, donating money is also donating trouble.
Although he no longer lives in Nanluoguxiang, he is still working at the steel rolling mill.
Moreover, Zhou Shuqing will also return to work in the steel rolling mill in the future, so if possible, she should try not to touch the sensitive nerves of these workers.
By then, there are several people in their family working for wages, and Zhou Jimin often gets rewards, so others won’t be jealous?
News about rewards and donations lasted for several days, and the popularity gradually dropped. I was quickly attracted by new things.
As June draws closer and closer, the steel rolling mill's work plan for the first half of the year is almost completed.
Distribution boxes, brake pads, lighters and other major products have gradually become important output products of steel rolling mills.
Even, in terms of importance, it far exceeds the output of steel products.
After the operations of these workshops tend to stabilize and develop upward, the restructuring of the steel rolling mill is imminent.
Once the restructuring is completed, many people will pay attention to whether Director Yang will be promoted or continue to work steadily.
Deputy Director Zhao, Deputy Director Li and others are all racing to get there.
Zhou Jimin is always aware of what's going on at the top.
Many people wanted to come find him, but he hid directly home.
Even if he was stuck in the factory, Zhou Jimin said not to bother him, otherwise the employer and employee would resign.
The senior management were all speechless and were instantly defeated.
At the end of June, the capital was completely surrounded by midsummer. Even if it was cool in the courtyard, it was still not as cool as sitting in the vegetable cellar.
The vegetable plot in the courtyard is also a little wilted due to the strong sunlight.
"Nan Nan, please sit down first. I'm going to plow this vegetable field today and plant some other vegetables."
On this day, Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan just came back. Looking at the somewhat messy vegetable field, they started to want to clean it up.
It’s messy and an eyesore.
"Can't you take a break?"
Ding Qiunan felt sorry for her man. Seeing that he refused to listen, she wanted to help him. Unexpectedly, he became unhappy and asked her to stop doing this.
"If you have time, go for a walk with Wangcai. Walk around the yard and exercise. It's better than doing this."
"Isn't work just about exercising?"
Seeing that she was just helping pick up some old gangsters, Zhou Jimin said nothing more.
The little goldfish, tired from playing in the afternoon, just woke up now and came out rubbing his eyes.
"Brother, I'm here to help too."
"Don't hurt yourself, be careful."
"Okay, brother."
There are different types of farm tools in the corner, all modified by Zhou Jimin.
Just so that the four little ones can move their hands when they are free.
At the door of the kitchen, his mother-in-law, who was choosing vegetables, asked him with a smile:
"Jimin, you will take the college entrance examination in more than ten days, why don't you read a book?"
"I'm reviewing every day, so don't worry, Mom, I'm definitely very confident."
From 1952 to now, there have been seven years of college entrance examination examination questions available for review. Not to mention, Zhou Jimin has cheated, so he is not worried at all.
"Besides, reading every day is not enough. You have to combine work and rest to improve learning efficiency."
When talking about this, Zhou Jimin looked at the little goldfish again and asked about her homework.
The little goldfish is five years old this year. Next year, Zhou Jimin will send her to school.
Others may worry that their children are not old enough and their brains cannot keep up with the learning progress of their peers.
But Zhou Jimin is not worried about the little goldfish.
She is well-nourished, and she has four older brothers and sisters to help her. It is completely feasible for her to go to school at the age of six.
Since the last time she was beaten by her second sister, the little goldfish has been very well-behaved recently.
So, the homework is well done.
The crisp sound of reading resounded in the yard and spread far and wide.
The first day of July, early in the morning.
The sky is dim and bright, and there is still about half an hour until dawn.
In accordance with the agreement with Zidane, Zhou Jimin came to the former's home again.
Walking through the door, there are many people waiting inside.
He frowned but said nothing.
"Hello, comrade, we have prepared everything you want, please come in."
The one in the middle looked at the rather imposing old man and said nervously.
In this era, food is in short supply and it is difficult to obtain food.
Therefore, people who were very impressive in the past have now fallen into the dust.
I have to stay humble and be small, after all, life is important.
In early June, winter wheat was harvested, and who knew the outcome would be even worse.
The supply and marketing cooperatives are still restricting food, and there is no food in Pigeon Market.
Such a situation immediately made the old and the young completely panic.
When ordinary people encounter famine, they still know how to eat less, go hungry a few times, and endure it.
But these old people and young people can't do it. Their limbs are all degenerated. If they are hungry again, they will just kick off their legs and be gone.
While Guan Wenhong was actively running around looking for food, he suddenly heard from the circle of old people and young people that Zidane had food.
As a result, many people in the circle came to Qijia.
When they heard the seller's request to trade high-quality antiques, everyone was silent for a moment, but immediately agreed.
Your life is almost gone, why are you guarding those rags?
Previously, not long after Zhou Jimin returned from the Northeast, he met Zidane by chance in Pigeon Market, and the two made an appointment to trade grain.
But when Zhou Jimin saw those tattered antiques, his face turned pale.
The room is full of antiques that make the space vibrate, but there is not a single one.
It’s not that these antiques are fake, they are real, but they are not high-quality products.
That’s why we made today’s agreement.
Walking into the room, Zhou Jimin found that there were not many antiques this time.
But each piece looks like an extremely precious fine antique, and it looks very nice.
There were a few of them that made Zhou Jimin feel the devouring desire of space even from a long distance away.
Calmly, he came to the venue and sat down first, chatting for a few words before getting down to the main topic.
Zhou Jimin did not pretend to be pretentious, but directly selected the few antiques he needed and determined the price with them.
It's true that it's a treasure and antique, but it's also cheap.
They don't have to trade, but Zhou Jimin has the right to speak.
The people who were selected for the antiques were very happy. Although the price was very low, which even made their bodies hurt, they could still trade it if they could get food.
However, Guan Wenhong suddenly spoke up and expressed that he wanted to modify the trading rules.
Zidane's face instantly turned ugly. He wanted to imprison Zhou Jimin, but Guan Wenhong actually wanted to cause trouble at the critical moment?
Several other people also looked at Guan Wenhong with unkind expressions.
Zhou Jimin, who had always thought everything was going smoothly, actually smiled when he heard this.
"Oh, how do you plan to modify it?"
"I don't really agree with the transaction of money first and goods later. I think it's best to clear both money and goods."
Zhou Jimin nodded, and he could tell that Guan Wenhong was broken. It was probably because he was not among the antiques he had just selected.
That's why he turned over the table like this.
After giving Guan Wenhong a deep look, Zhou Jimin looked at the others:
"Who are you?"
Others shook their heads repeatedly. In the face of food, trading rules are nothing. What's more, Zidane has completed two transactions with the other party and has a good reputation. There is no need to offend the other party at this juncture.
Furthermore, even if the other party really takes over, it will only be a loss of antiques and heartache for a while.
But if it does happen, with food, what do they have to fear?
"Lao Qi, what do you say?"
"Comrade, you can do whatever you say, I have no objection."
How could Zidane have any objection?
He is just a middleman, not even an intermediary.
Doing this is purely thankless.
If it weren't for the relationship between his ancestors and these people, he wouldn't bother to talk to them.
It won't do him any good to offend Zhou Jimin, so he has no objection. It all depends on how the former handles it.
"Among the antiques I just selected, is one of them yours?"
Guan Wenhong shook his head, and Zhou Jimin suddenly became happy, "Then why do you want to change the rules?"
"I'm just reminding them so that they don't lose everything."
There is nothing strange about this sentence, but the strange thing is that Zidane and his friends' faces instantly became extremely ugly.
What's going on?
Zhou Jimin was very curious.
But if Zidane and the others don't say anything, Zhou Jimin can't say anything.
For a time, the atmosphere in the room almost dropped to freezing point.
It was a strange situation. Zidane and the others looked at Zhou Jimin pleadingly, while Guan Wenhong looked like an old god, as if he really had something to rely on.
But Zhou Jimin didn't care about this, he stood up directly and said:
"In this case, the transaction is cancelled, Lao Qi, the mountains are high and the road is far, and there will be no future."
As soon as these words came out, Zidane suddenly changed his face and quickly grabbed Zhou Jimin who was about to leave the room, begging him to wait and let them discuss it first.
Guan Wenhong looked calm and calm, but his heart felt a little thumped:
Is this person really unwilling to change the rules?
The reason for making this request is that the transaction volume is large, and you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. After all, rare antiques are rare.
They, the old and the young, don’t have many such treasures.
It's all inherited from our ancestors. If we continue to lose our fortune, alas, it will be over.
The second is to test Zhou Jimin. If the rules can be changed, what is the next step?
If such food channels were available, they would no longer have to worry about going hungry.
He believed that Zhou Jimin was just a middleman.
Third, the old and the young are a circle, but this circle is about to break up.
There are not many left in the country now.
And those who have gone overseas are no longer pure Chinese.
That’s why I made the proposal just now.
A group of people moved to the secret room next door and started chatting.
Only Zidane is still accompanying Zhou Jimin, actually because he is afraid that the latter will run away.
Before long, Zhou Jimin became impatient and planned to leave first.
After all, the sky outside was already turning pale, and he didn't want to stay and waste time.
Zidane suddenly became anxious and quickly comforted Zhou Jimin and asked him to wait while he ran to the secret room next door.
But there was a lot of noise in the secret room at the moment.
They are almost divided into two factions, with clear distinctions.
There were two other people just holding their arms, as if it didn't matter to them.
"You guys, please stop quarreling. Everyone is leaving and there will be no deal."
When Zidane came in, he frightened them all.
Then, the quarrel escalated directly.
Zidane was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
But Zhou Jimin outside sighed, turned and left.
After leaving Zidane's home, Zhou Jimin came to the nearby Pigeon Market.
After strolling around for a while, we left.
Not long after, a cart of coarse grains came in.
Now the price of coarse grains has dropped slightly, to 0.25 yuan per catty. In fact, this price has not dropped much.
The reason for the price reduction is not because there is food in the market, but because there are fewer people buying it.
Everyone knows that food is expensive, so we can only go hungry for a few meals.
The wild vegetables outside the city have long been plundered.
It’s because everyone has no money to buy food, so they can only eat wild vegetables.
As soon as the food was brought to Pigeon Market, Zhou Jimin was surrounded.
There are many people, but no one is willing to buy.
At this moment, Zhou Jimin realized that famine was really terrible.
But he understands better that he cannot give away free food just because he is kind-hearted.
Discount?
It is estimated that even if it is reduced to the previous level, these people will not be able to afford it.
After a while, someone finally bought it.
After opening up the situation, it will be much better.
After the coarse grains were sold, he took a watermelon out of the basket.
Isn’t it too much to eat watermelon to relieve the heat in summer?
In Pigeon City, this is too much!
At this time, it was getting bright outside and there were people starting to walk on the street.
The cleaners have completed less than half of the cleaning work, and the manure pickers are also starting to get busy.
Many people stared at the watermelon in Zhou Jimin's hand and swallowed their saliva.
It didn’t take long for Zhou Jimin to fuck half of Xigua.
The finished watermelon rind was thrown aside, and several children who had been guarding it rushed over and snatched the watermelon rind away.
The kid who didn't get a patch immediately started crying.
But no one paid any attention to him. The other children wolfed down the watermelon in three to three times, five by two, and really only the skin was left!
Zhou Jimin looked at this scene indifferently. If he dared to find out with conscience, reality would immediately teach him how to behave.
He had done such a stupid thing once in Pigeon City in the Northeast.
At that time, he was directly surrounded by dozens or hundreds of people.
If he hadn't been physically strong and powerful, he might have been injured.
From then on, he never dared to mess around again.
Taking back his memory, he was stopped when he was about to leave.
"Hello, comrade, can you sell me the half of the watermelon you just ate?"
The visitors were a father and daughter, and their clothes were incompatible with those around them.
Because these are the Lou family's father and daughter, and the girl is Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao's future wife.
This is the second time Zhou Jimin sees the Lou family and his daughter.
The last time I met them was when I was selling big white pears in another pigeon market.
"Oh, this is the watermelon I left for my wife, I won't sell it!"
He is not interested in the Lou family's money.
But I am more or less interested in Lou Xiao'e.
Of course, it is not that she wants to have a relationship with the other party, but from the perspective of a bystander, she feels that she should not be treated like that by Xu Damao, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, that's all.
As for being greedy for her body?
Aren’t Xu Mei and Li Yuzhu prettier than Lou Xiao’e?
Even Qin Jingru is pretty good!
Of course, unlike in movies and TV shows, Lou Xiaoe is still very innocent and innocent at this time, with a cute face full of baby fat, which is all collagen.
Lou Jizhong's face was full of astonishment. He didn't expect to be rejected. Didn't the other party see clearly what he was wearing?
"That's it. Can you tell me where you bought this melon?"
"Can't!"
"…………"
Lou Xiao'e next to her couldn't help it anymore and said: "We are willing to pay a high price for it, and you can sell it to us, okay? And you have cut this melon in half. It will not be fresh after being stored for a long time."
If it hadn't been for the drought this year, there wouldn't have been many watermelons, and even if there were, there wouldn't have been much left after they were shipped to the capital.
Moreover, there are currently no good varieties of watermelon.
We have to wait a few years for talents from the Agricultural University to go to the northwest, and after more than ten years of research and development, we will be able to eat sweet and refreshing watermelons.
Therefore, the watermelons that can be seen on the market are not as good as the seedless watermelon in Zhou Jimin's hand, which is bright red and juicy and very attractive to look at.
Looking at the greedy Lou Xiao'e, the corners of Zhou Jimin's mouth raised slightly:
"How high a price can you offer? I won't sell it if it's too high."
"Of course it's a price you're satisfied with...wait a minute, it's too high and you won't sell it?"
Just after she finished speaking, Lou Xiaoe came back to her senses.
The people around him laughed happily, but Lou Jizhong chuckled a little. He must have fallen in love with his daughter, right?
That won't work!
His daughter cannot marry such a person, he is too smart, and those who can come to the pigeon market to sell food are not ordinary people.
The Lou family now should live a low-key life.
If we let him go, would he, Lou Jizhong, need to come out to buy food?
Alas, this world is so difficult!
Glancing at Lou Jizhong, who was full of vigilance, Zhou Jimin smiled and said:
"Yes, you heard it right, so it can't be too high."
"No, I buy something and you sell it, but you still dislike it..."
The simple Lou Xiao'e feels very incredible, and I have to explain it clearly.
Lou Xiao'e, who was completely unaware that she was being tricked, still wanted to continue to quibble, uh, to convince Zhou Jimin to accept her high price.
Her father had already grabbed her, "I bought it for two yuan."
So much money?
When the people nearby heard this, they were stunned and incredulous.
Half a watermelon, two or three pounds at most.
Nearly one yuan per pound?
Even in winter, it shouldn’t be so expensive, right?
Many people's eyes were rolling around, wondering where they could get watermelons and sell them?
However, the hair on my forehead is all bald, and I can’t think of a melon field anywhere.
"Not for sale!"
Zhou Jimin didn't even look at Lou Jizhong, but stared at Lou Xiao'e.
The latter is just like the movie and TV series, pitifully simple and kind.
It's a pity.
Lou Jizhong snorted coldly, took out two yuan, gave it to his daughter, and asked her to buy it.
Sure enough, if Lou Xiao'e buys it, the deal will be done.
After his suspicion was confirmed, Lou Jizhong took over the habit, grabbed his daughter and left in a hurry.
He had to keep his daughter away from Zhou Jimin.
Poor Lou Xiao'e, being dragged by her father, turned back to Zhou Jimin and told him that she would come to him to buy something next time.
This sentence made Lou Jizhong even more angry.
Then, when he turned back, he saw Zhou Jimin taking out two large watermelons again.
Very round and beautiful.
Mouthwatering.
"Dad, he still has big watermelons. Let's buy two more and take them home to our mother and brother."
Hey!
Lou Jizhong had no choice but to return again.
Looking at Zhou Jimin, he asked: "You obviously have a whole uncut watermelon, why don't you sell it to us? Instead of selling it cut into pieces? Are you sincere?"
Hearing what her father said, Lou Xiao'e also angrily glared with her hands on her hips.
Zhou Jimin said slowly:
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who asked me when I first came up if I could sell the other half of my leftover watermelon, right? I also said no, but you insisted on buying it, right? I didn't expect you to be quite good at raking it up.
Yes."
In one sentence, the Lou family's father and daughter were ashamed and speechless.
Leaving Pigeon Market, Zhou Jimin hugged two big watermelons, facing the rising sun, and went home leisurely.
Thinking of the two big watermelons he had given away for free, and the shocked expressions of the Lou family and his daughter, he felt inexplicably relieved.
To him, watermelon is worthless.
For the Lou family, things worth a few dollars are not expensive.
But it makes Lou Jizhong think wildly and makes Lou Xiao'e shocked, Zhou Jimin finds it quite interesting.
Isn't this more refreshing than spending a dime to watch a movie?
When he got home, Ding Qiunan saw that he was in a beautiful mood and couldn't help but smile:
"You picked up money when you went out? Are you so happy?"
When the little goldfish heard this, he quickly asked where it was?
"Here, I bought two watermelons today and they are in the basket. Will I be so happy when I get an iced watermelon later?"
After digging for a while, two large round watermelons were pulled out from the straw.
Looking at the attractive watermelon, the little goldfish no longer cares about picking up money.
I was about to hug the big watermelon, but Zhou Jimin told me to stop.
If you are weak, don’t do this job.
I still have short legs, so if I break a watermelon, I’ll be fine. What if I get injured?
A watermelon weighs at least six or seven kilograms. It’s not that the little goldfish can’t carry it, but it’s just afraid of falling.
The third and fourth boys were so strong that they carried a watermelon to the kitchen.
"Brother, let's go get ice."
No matter who in the family goes to the ice cellar, if you can, say so as much as possible.
Because it’s too cold inside the ice cellar, something could easily happen if you don’t come out for a long time.
Although the ice cellar has no door, there are three quilt curtains to keep the heat out.
"Go, go and come back quickly." Zhou Jimin waved his hand, but the little goldfish really wanted to go, but she had been frightened for a long time, and she was also banned from going to the ice cellar.
It's time to rest today, and before breakfast has arrived, Ding Rushan has sent his mother-in-law and others over.
"Hey, where did the watermelon come from? It's so big."
When my father-in-law saw the watermelon soaked in ice water, he couldn't move his legs immediately.
When he comes to his son-in-law's house every day, he doesn't want to leave.
Either iced sour plum soup, mung bean paste, and now watermelon.
God, he had to sigh once again, his daughter really married the right person.
"Jimin brought it back from Pigeon Market this morning, Xiaochun, sister, come over and have breakfast together."
Ding Qiunan explained and immediately waved to his sister-in-law and sister to come over.
In the past, she always called Ahong.
Now I call her sister, but I don’t know if it’s due to separation or something.
My father-in-law took two meat buns and fried dough sticks and left.
Zhou Shuqing wanted to give him more breakfast, but it was too late because Ding Rushan ran too fast.
After the family had breakfast, Ding Qiunan came out of the hut, sweating profusely, which made Zhou Jimin very upset.
Why didn’t you think about solving this problem?
Bathroom!
He thought of squatting, and asked Wu Weihai and others to dig sewers and septic tanks.
But I never expected that in the summer, if I have trouble going to the toilet, not only will my legs become numb after squatting for a long time, but I will also sweat profusely.
In winter, let alone.
He experienced the winter in Beijing last year.
It’s so difficult.
In the past, when I was in Nanluoguxiang, I only went to public restrooms.
In fact, it is a dry toilet.
Not to mention the smell of this place, just going to squat in such a far place on a cold day was a kind of torture for him.
It seems that I have to sort out the bathroom environment today.
Seeing that he was busy again, Ding Qiunan and the others were all curious: What else do you want to do?
After he finished explaining, the whole family's eyes widened: What? Squatting and going to the toilet with the air conditioner blowing in? You are not afraid of the cold in winter anymore?
Fang Xiaochun felt this the most deeply.
Originally, there was no difference between before she got married and after she got married.
Everyone is going to squat in the dry toilet anyway.
However, after visiting Zhou's house once, my dear, she was shocked and stunned.
Not to mention the independent courtyard, almost every room has an independent bathroom.
Moreover, each bathroom also has a very nice lavender scent. Every time she goes to the bathroom, it takes at least ten or twenty minutes to come out.
For the first time, she knew that she could enjoy herself in the bathroom.
I have learned a lot.
But now?
What did your brother-in-law say just now?
The squatting toilet is also air-conditioned. Hiss, the previous emperors probably didn’t have this kind of enjoyment, right?
In fact, squatting toilets are not uncommon.
Two thousand years ago, China began to use more comfortable toilets.
However, such high-end toilets are still in the minority, and only nobles can afford them.
Ordinary people's toilets are still the most traditional and common squat toilets in ancient times.
Ding Qiuhong is also full of curiosity.
This brother-in-law is simply capable of anything.
Upgrading your squat pit to a squat toilet is easy.
There is no rush to renovate the four little ones’ rooms. Today we will renovate the master bedroom’s bathroom first.
It took me a whole morning to build the squat toilet and it was done quickly.
The ceramic toilet was dismantled from the bathroom in the warehouse space.
"Okay, who wants to experience it?"
The little goldfish was the first to raise his hand, and the third child simply closed the door and squatted inside.
The little goldfish was so angry that he scolded the third brother for bullying his sister.
Not long after, the third child, who had been urged, came out of the bathroom with a look of enjoyment.
"Lao San, did you eat in there?"
"Ah, I've eaten it."
The third child responded to the elder brother's words smoothly, and the next moment, everyone burst into laughter.
"Haha, third brother, you are eating in the toilet, eh, it stinks."
"Little goldfish, how can you say that about your third brother? He may not be eating, but eating food from the toilet..."
Following Zhou Shuqing's words, everyone's cheers became even louder.
The third child, who blushed greatly, covered the little goldfish's mouth angrily, but everyone was laughing, so he had no choice but to run away.
After laughing for a while, Zhou Jimin said again:
"Okay, next one, who else wants to experience it?"
The room instantly became quiet, and no one dared to laugh.
I didn’t even dare to answer. I really went to the bathroom. Did I eat there again?
Ding Qiunan gave him a look and walked in.
A few minutes later, Ding Qiunan walked out with a satisfied smile, gave Zhou Jimin a thumbs up and said:
"The renovation this time is very good. The bathroom looks cleaner. There is really no smell at all."
"Well, of course, but you still have to be careful not to block the water outlet, otherwise it will be troublesome to clear it."
This statement was unanimously approved by everyone.
These are all things at home, who would do such an immoral thing?
"By the way, Jimin, is there enough ice in the ice cellar? Isn't it a waste to put so much ice in the bathroom?"
"Don't be afraid, there are plenty of them, just waste them and use them as you like. You don't have to worry about the ice."
"Well, you're so kind."
The young couple spread dog food, and the whole family let out a sigh of disgust. Fang Xiaochun's face was full of envy, and he also missed Ding Xiaochuan.
