Chapter 101 Cousin and Cousin

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Defu didn't understand.

"My aunt died not long after she got married and gave birth to my cousin. My uncle, Chen Shimei, married a bride not even a month after she was buried. She gave birth to a son within a year, and a daughter the next year. How could I be kind to my cousin when I was giving birth to a baby in such a mess?

If my parents hadn't gone to see my cousin, we would have almost starved to death in the cowshed!

Seeing how cruel their family was, my parents took my cousin back to our house.My mother only gave birth to me, and she couldn't have any more children. She didn't even have a daughter, so she just raised my cousin as her biological daughter.

When I grew up, I was worried about being abused by my husband’s family when I got married, so they simply pointed it out to me and said that they would supervise me and I wouldn’t be tolerated in our family! "

Din Jiqun looked helpless.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Jiang Defu couldn't help but burst into laughter. He didn't expect this arrogant Din Jiqun to...

"Childhood sweethearts, it's great to know the roots and the roots! Aren't Lu You and Tang Wan also cousins? Isn't a good story just in line with your dream?"

Jiang Defu couldn't help but joked.

"Hey! You don't know that my cousin is very hard-working and filial to my parents. She does all the big and small work at home. My father gave her the management of the family fields a few years ago, and she follows her all day long. She helps men work in the fields and refuses to study. She is no different from a rural woman. She is not the person I like at all!"

Din Jiqun sighed.

"Since you didn't agree at the beginning, you shouldn't have agreed. It delayed others. Now you regret it and you can't let it go!"

"I'm just saying that, apart from being rude and tough, my cousin is really good to me. She has protected me since I was a child. She basically doesn't let me work at home. At night, the water for washing my feet is brought to the bedside. My wife at home also She is the only woman to take care of her, and she has done all the hard work, forget it! Forget it, life is not perfect, it’s okay to have some shortcomings!"

Din Jiqun collapsed on the bed again.

"I have nothing to do in the past two days. You can take me to the black market tomorrow and see if I can buy some books."

After washing up and getting ready to go to bed, Jiang Defu suggested.

"Well, it's okay to go and have a look together. There's nothing to do here. It's boring!"

Butyl Group seconded the motion directly.

"Who gave you your name?"

Jiang Defu suddenly asked in the darkness after turning off the lights.

"What's wrong? My grandfather gave it to me! This name has rich meanings. My grandfather was the former Jieyuan. If the Qing Dynasty hadn't fallen, our family would definitely have a Jinshi..."

"I didn't say that your name is bad, I just said that your name is a bit hard to pronounce, Jiqun, Jiqun... I will call you Lao Ding from now on. It is convenient and friendly!"

Jiang Defu discussed.

"You...well, it's just a title anyway, then I'll call you Lao Jiang from now on!"

……

Early the next day.

Jiang Defu and Lao Ding got up early.

According to the past, they would get up after five o'clock, do morning exercises for a while, and then go to the cafeteria to eat.

Now that the students haven't all arrived, it's just casual these days.

However, the biological clock that has been developed is difficult to change in a short while. The two got up early and walked around the playground, and then went to the cafeteria to eat.

Compared with the time of the war, logistics supply was more difficult. Nowadays, the local canteen is pretty good. At least you can eat steamed buns with more white flour. In the morning, it is usually porridge, pickles and fried cabbage. At noon, you can also see some meat dishes. As for In the evening, it’s steamed buns and rice porridge.Although the meals are not comparable to those in the previous life, being able to eat these meals and still be full these days is indeed considered to be of a high standard.

After the two had dinner, they went to the so-called black market.

The so-called black market is actually just a joke among everyone.

Compared with towns, Qingcheng is considered a big city, and everything is in compliance with regulations.All goods are purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives.

Of course, this is all on the surface. Although it is said to be a standard, in fact, the supply of many materials is not sufficient, and there is also a certain deviation in price, which gave birth to the so-called black market.

The so-called black market is nothing more than a private trading market. Many people bring their own belongings that they think are valuable to the market in exchange for the items they need.

Jiang Defu thought it was just a small market, but when he arrived, he found that there were quite a few people selling things.

A lot of things including food, drink, and toiletries are readily available. Food, drink, and daily necessities are the most popular. As for books, antiques, and many other items, they are a bit less popular.

As soon as Lao Ding arrived at the market, he ran directly to a bookstall and rummaged through the books.

The book seller was a man in his fifties wearing glasses and a coat. I heard from Lao Ding that this man used to be the shopkeeper of several bookstores. The boss ran away and no one paid him a salary for more than half a year. The only one left who could sell books was It's these tattered books.

"They are all the Republic of China editions, not books from other dynasties. The good books have been taken away. If you can give them money, food and cloth are the best."

said the man.

For these people, the Republic of China version is basically their current printed books which are not very valuable. It is better to collect the ancient versions.

For Jiang Defu, those things are basically good versions that can be treasured.

The inconspicuous Republic of China edition books will probably sell for several thousand yuan each in the future.

If it were easier to store, Jiang Defu really wanted to wrap these books in a round shape.

Just considering that the situation may change in the future, he currently lives in a school dormitory and does not have his own private space.

In addition, his training period here is three years, and there may be other developments after three years. By then, a large number of things will be a big problem.

Now he can at most buy some more meaningful books. For example, he saw several books stamped and signed by relatively famous figures in later generations, and there was also a book with handwriting annotations by a writer named Lin.

Just when paying the bill, Jiang Defu encountered a new problem.

He originally paid the boss according to the price that Lao Ding had bought the books at before. He selected a lot of books and gave the boss 5 yuan directly according to the price.

"Sir, this... it's not easy for us to spend this money. Can... can you exchange it for some food? We are restricted from buying food..."

The man hesitated for a moment and suggested to Jiang Defu.

Jiang Defu was wearing his own plain clothes. Before departure, Zhang Guilan and the others prepared several new clothes for him. He usually wears the clothes of the team and has no time to wear them. Now he basically wears the clothes at home.

It's just that Lao Ding is accustomed to wearing the clothes of the team when he goes out. It's no wonder that outsiders can identify their identities at a glance.

It's just that the title of "Sir" is real... But it's okay, it's okay if I don't call him "Boss"!
"It's not convenient for us to buy food now. I think it's better to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to change it for you!"

Old Ding stood up and said after looking at it.

"That's good! That's good too!"

The man said hurriedly.

"Didn't he say it's inconvenient to buy food? Why do you still exchange money?"

Jiang Defu didn't understand what Lao Ding was doing and asked suspiciously.
