The young man selling seafood looked at Zhou Jimin leaving with a disappointed face, sighed and sat down, continuing to wait for the next customer.
After walking around again and finding that there was nothing he wanted, Zhou Jimin turned around and left Pigeon Market.
Many people come to Pigeon Market and want to exchange their extra bicycle tickets, sewing tickets, etc. for useful things, or exchange money to buy some meat, or buy some food.
Many families basically start with three or four children, unlike in the 1980s when they only had one child.
A family like Zhou Jimin's family with five children is the current situation of Chinese families at this time.
In this type of family, if the parents are not both working, or there are elderly people to support, it will be difficult.
Therefore, those selling tickets and food in Pigeon Market are the mainstream.
Seafood, ginseng, wood, animal skins, etc., these are rare and rare.
However, Zhou Jimin had already solved the problem of three turns and one ring, and even saved a lot of various tickets and money.
Therefore, every time he comes to the pigeon market, he mainly pays attention to changes in market trends, and the most important thing is to look for some strange food and useful things.
Last time I mentioned the purchase of antiques to Stone Youth, but there was no news yet, so Zhou Jimin no longer looked forward to it.
Back in the courtyard, the four little ones got up early and felt a little depressed. It wasn't until they saw him coming back that they smiled.
Zhou Jimin felt a little sad when he noticed this scene.
The four little ones have completely regarded him as the backbone of the family.
I just didn't see him when I woke up in the morning. Everyone was so wilted that they almost regarded his eldest brother as their barometer.
He didn't say much and simply made breakfast. While eating breakfast, he mentioned that he would go fishing on the river outside the city during his next break.
Suddenly, the four little ones jumped for joy, and the atmosphere at the table became a lot more lively.
While chatting, the little goldfish suddenly counted on his little fingers and said:
"Brother, brother, is it my birthday soon?"
A few months ago, she was still a four-and-a-half-year-old little kid.
Now, she will soon be a five-year-old child.
"Really? I forgot your birthday."
Zhou Jimin took a sip of lean meat porridge, said something vaguely, and immediately took a bite of fried dough sticks.
However, the little goldfish was not happy and pouted:
"Brother, you don't love me anymore. You don't even remember other people's birthdays. Wow, I miss my mother. My mother always makes longevity noodles for me on my birthday. Wow, I want to eat longevity noodles."
Every time Shit makes longevity noodles, she only makes them once, on her fourth birthday.
How could she remember when she was three years old? And at that time, she usually drank rice cereal because she stopped breastfeeding too late and her mouth was greedy. Every time she was fed corn noodle porridge, she would not drink it. p>
Later, I was fed rice cereal with shredded pork, and then I was willing to drink it.
Of the family, she is the most pampered.
"Stop crying, my second sister will make longevity noodles for you then."
"Really?"
The sound of rain stopped instantly, and the little painted face with tears was full of surprise and uncertainty.
"Of course it's true, don't push me down."
Zhou Shuqing lost her eyes, and the little goldfish quickly flattered her, "Thank you, second sister, I love you the most."
"Really? I heard you always say you love your eldest brother the most. Why did you change it again?"
"My eldest brother forgot my birthday and didn't make me longevity noodles. I don't love him anymore. My favorite person today is my second sister."
The little goldfish hummed and glanced at her elder brother, and said with some pride.
But Zhou Shuqing's face froze, not because she was jealous of her elder brother, but because what the little goldfish said made her too cheap.
Those with useful value are the little goldfish’s favorites.
On the contrary, it is not.
A typical snobbery and white-eyed wolf.
"Then I thank you. You just love me the most today. Then on your birthday, I won't make longevity noodles for you."
After hearing the second sister's words, the little goldfish's proud little face suddenly froze.
"Ah, no, second sister, no matter what, by my birthday, my favorite one will still be the second sister."
When Zhou Shuqing heard this, she went crazy. She happened to be full, dropped the bowls and chopsticks, took the breakfast prepared by her elder brother for Sister Nan, and went out.
At the dinner table, Zhou Jimin, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the third brother all burst into laughter. Only the little goldfish, who still didn’t know what happened, was messy in the wind:
Really, why should the second sister be angry? I already gave the second sister two days, isn’t that okay?
Looking at her silly appearance, she looked very much like the silly roe deer yesterday. Zhou Jimin smiled brightly and gave her a slap on the head:
"Okay, eldest brother just lied to you, and your second sister is not angry, but you are not allowed to do this again in the future, do you hear me?"
"Really?" The little goldfish still didn't believe it, so she heard her elder brother say:
"Big brother will make you a birthday cake when the time comes. Well, there will also be a birthday gift. I guarantee you will like it very, very much."
"Wow, is it true? What is a birthday cake? And what kind of gift is it?"
Children living in the capital all know about cakes. In the past, they were snacks for the palace or noble families. Now they are sold, but ordinary people cannot afford them.
What is a cake?
It literally means a pastry made of eggs, but since it’s a birthday cake, isn’t it different?
Birthday cakes were introduced into the country as early as the previous dynasty, but they have always been exclusive to wealthy families, and ordinary people have no idea about them.
It was not until the 1970s that it began to be used. After the 1980s, it gradually became popular.
But in the 1950s, not many people really wanted birthday cakes.
"Don't ask so many questions, keep the surprise, you will know when it's your birthday."
After Zhou Jimin finished speaking, the little goldfish became unhappy and looked forward to it.
The third and fourth children were very fond of the food and hesitated to speak.
After all, they are both boys, they don’t know how to act coquettishly, and they are good-looking.
Otherwise, why don’t they say that babies who cry can be fed by milk?
Compared with the little goldfish, the third and fourth children are really miserable.
"You two, hold your words back. Your birthday is still early, and I will miss you by then."
With just one glance, Zhou Jimin knew what the third and fourth sons wanted to do.
He replied angrily, and the two brothers' faces suddenly looked like monkey butts, and they were so ashamed.
After breakfast, Zhou Jimin left Wangcai at home and asked him to look after the house and protect the little goldfish.
Then he prepared to go to work in the steel rolling mill.
After walking out of the house, Qin Huairu waited for him at the door of the central courtyard, begging him to let her husband Jia Dongxu go.
"Xiao Dangma, this matter is not my responsibility. You have to ask the police at the police station."
No matter what the other party says, Zhou Jimin just pushes four, five, and six.
He Yuzhu, who was woken up, ran over to act as a good old man and wanted Zhou Jimin to agree.
The latter repeated what he had just said angrily, then shook off the other person's hand and pushed the bicycle out.
Behind him, He Yuzhu was still cursing, while Qin Huairu was in tears.
Until Wangcai stood at the door of Zhou's house and barked twice, Qin Huairu turned pale in fright and hurried home.
