Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 95 There are no fools in our family
"Comrade, canned pineapple, canned apples and canned oranges all cost three yuan a bottle, which adds up to 27 yuan. Canned yellow peach costs three yuan and three cents a bottle, which is nine yuan and ninety cents. Well... your total You need to pay 36 yuan and [-] cents, plus food stamps!"

The salesperson calculated the account with an abacus and reported it to Yao Weijun with a polite smile.

Yao Weijun happily paid the ticket and walked out of the cooperative with four net bags.

The can was tied to the back seat of the motorcycle and they rode all the way back to Jianchang Village.

Professor Ling’s friend in Beijing sent citric acid, but it would take four or five days to receive the goods.

Even though the Jianchang Village where he was located was on the outskirts of Beijing, it was also much slower than later generations.

Yao Weijun returned home and called his sister-in-law. The two began to taste and compare the flavors in the main room.

Although they are not the same kind of canned products, but when you taste the aftertaste carefully, there is indeed a very similar feeling, which makes Yao Weijun even more convinced of Professor Ling's words.

At the same time, I also brought some red dates that I steamed in sugar water, and the two facts were confirmed. Soon even my sister-in-law tasted the difference.

"Junzi, if we really have the additive you mentioned, if we put it in cans like this, we might actually be able to sell it for money!"

The sister-in-law said happily.

Yao Weijun smiled and said nothing. He was still thinking about what the cooperative salesperson said just now. It is true that canned red dates with sugar water are available, but it is not that easy to sell them nearby.

At least, you have to sell it in the county town, or even transport it to the capital city, in order to make money!
"I can definitely sell it for money! Sister-in-law, after we get married, I will go to the county to contact the cans and bottles and start this thing step by step!"

If you have any difficulties, just solve them yourself. There is no need to speak out and let your sister-in-law worry about it. Yao Weijun also said with a smile.

"Oh, there are so many cans that we can't finish. It's a waste to open them all. Junzi, why don't you take them home and let our parents have a taste?"

The sister-in-law looked at the twelve cans with their lids opened with regret and suggested softly.

"Well, I'll get a few bottles later, and give some to Sister Chuntao and the others to share. We all work very hard. Sister-in-law, I'll keep these four bottles and you'll each have one bottle."

Yao Weijun thought that this was the case, stood up and said.

After opening the canned fruit, he tightened the lid so that it would not spill out. He carried eight bottles in a net bag and walked back to the old house.

The day after tomorrow is the day when he and Yu Xiunan get married, and the family has actually been busy in the past two days.

Cutting out the word 'hi', folding big red flowers, making new quilts for quilts, writing couplets and wedding invitations, borrowing tables, chairs and benches in advance... In short, everyone was busy, even grandma started sewing quilts.

"Junzi, have you and Xiunan bought the clothes for your wedding day? If not, you can take me and your father to the commune in the afternoon to see if there is something suitable and buy it first, before it is too late!"

His mother Zhu Mei saw him walking in carrying something and quickly reminded him.

"Hey, the army is here to reward us, haha... so many cans, it's a lot of money!"

The second sister-in-law had sharp eyes and was the first to see Yao Weijun carrying the can in his net bag, and joked with a smile.

Not to mention, since the last time she was punished by Yao Weijun, this second sister-in-law is at least much better on the surface than before. She will talk and laugh when we meet her on weekdays. It is difficult to see any resentment from her expression.

But Yao Weijun has his own idea, that is, he is not far away from her and not close to her. He laughs when he sees her and cares about his own family behind his back.

In fact, not only the second sister-in-law, but also everyone in the family, except the eldest sister-in-law, has never thought of letting them participate in his business.

Many times, it is easier for outsiders to manage things, but for family members... there is not enough time to deal with the chaos!

"Grandma, I'll give you the canned yellow peach first. Dad and Mom, you both can take one too. Second sister-in-law, I'll give this to you."

Yao Weijun opened his net bag and took a bottle for everyone in his family.

"Oh, your father and I can just have one bottle, and leave the rest for Xiaohua, Liwen and the others. I will definitely be happy to see this when I come back from school!"

Mother Zhu Mei waved her hands repeatedly and smiled from ear to ear.

I usually don't want to eat canned food. In the past, at most a child would have a headache and fever, so he would spend money to buy a bottle so that he could be coaxed into taking medicine and injections.

"You are a real person. Junzi gave you canned food with good intentions, but you are so pretentious!"

Father Yao Xiangui scolded, with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Yes, mother, Jun Zi is now running a roasted seed business, so he must be making money. If I give you the canned food, you can eat it. Here, I'll give you this pineapple!"

Second sister-in-law Yan Suxia also persuaded her and took the initiative to pass a bottle to her mother Zhu Mei.

"That's right!" Seeing his wife taking the can, Yao Xiangui couldn't help but analyze: "Junzi is more particular about things now than me. Didn't you see that I bought eight bottles of cans? This is all good. Our whole family has one bottle each, what’s the big deal if you don’t eat it?”

"Dad, then I, a married girl, can only stare at you? By the way, your two nephews are not qualified to do so, right?!"

At this time, Yao Weifang's voice sounded at the door of the house, asking questions loudly on purpose.

"Hey, our girl is back. Why did she come today? I thought she wouldn't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest!"

Mother Zhu Mei quickly put down the can and ran towards the outhouse first, without even bothering to pat away the cotton wool and lint crumbs on her body.

"You're getting older, take it slow!" Yao Xiangui stood up from his chair. Seeing his wife walking so fast, he quickly frowned and reminded him, but he always smiled with relief on his face. "She and Junzi have been playing together since childhood. Now that Junzi is getting married, she should come back early for a day and a half, shouldn't she, haha..."

"No, dad, you haven't answered me yet. I heard that our food is quite delicious. Why, I can't share it? No matter what happens, I have to give it to you two nephews, right?"

At this time, Yao Weifang took the lead in entering the room and asked his father again, but with a smile on his face, he was obviously joking on purpose.

"Don't treat yourself like an outsider. If you want to eat, you can take it yourself. You have to treat me as your own and I have to hand it to you!"

Yao Xiangui looked at the room full of people and was in a good mood. He couldn't help but smile and replied before going to tease his two nephews.

"Third sister, there are several more. I have already brought An Hong and An Gang to them. You can also choose one."

Yao Weijun first gave a bottle to each of his two nephews, and then brought the net bag to Yao Weifang.

"Can't you tell that I'm joking with our dad? Xiaohua and the others haven't finished school yet. Just feed them later. I won't eat this."

Yao Weifang waved her hand away.

"Don't worry, it's not a valuable thing, just take it!"

Yao Weijun forced her to give her a bottle of orange-flavored canned food.

"In that case, I won't eat this bottle now and will save it for Xiaohua later."

The second sister-in-law, Yan Suxia, suddenly said with a smile, and indeed put the can in her hand on the table.

Before the third sister Yao Weifang and her two nephews came, eight bottles of canned food were just right. Now there are three more people. If they were divided, it would be gone. Yan Suxia was actually worried that her two children would not be able to eat, so The reminder was deliberately vague.

Several people in the room looked at each other, and Yao Weifang felt a little embarrassed with the can in his hand.

Snapped!
Seeing this, grandma put the cans and bottles on the cabinet fiercely and glared at the second sister-in-law. Judging from her look, if she hadn't been worried about Junzi's upcoming marriage, she would have definitely scolded the second sister-in-law in front of her.

"Grandma, you eat yours."

Yao Weijun glanced sideways at his second sister-in-law and walked up to her with a faint smile on his face.

"Junzi, don't block me. I'm afraid the stitches will go astray when the light goes dark."

Second sister-in-law Yan Suxia faced Yao Weijun's instinctive fear and managed to smile.

"You can see at a glance if the stitches are on the right side, so that doesn't matter. But if your mind is wrong, it will be a big problem!"

Yao Weijun finished speaking calmly and picked up the bottle of cans she put down, "Second sister-in-law, you really don't want to eat?"

"Well, keep it for Xiaohua..."

Second sister-in-law Yan Suxia still insisted.

Children prefer to eat canned food. She has talked about it many times in both civil and military circles, but she has never been willing to buy it. Now that there are so many canned food in the house, she feels that she should fight for it for her children no matter what.

Besides, the words had just been spoken, so it was naturally difficult to say anything else at this time.

"Okay, then I'll keep this bottle for Xiaohua. I originally planned to buy three more bottles from the village sales agency, but now I can save it."

After Yao Weijun finished speaking, his second sister-in-law Yan Suxia's face suddenly became embarrassed.

She is a smart person, so she can naturally tell that Yao Weijun is deliberately scorning her. She feels the looks from her family members and feels uncomfortable all over and her face is hot.

"Okay, okay, our family is having a happy event in the past two days, so what? When the three little flowers come back later, I will take them to the agency to buy unopened ones, which are no better than those of you who have eaten them. powerful!"

Yao Xiangui was teasing his two nephews in the outer room. After hearing the conversation inside, he quickly came in to smooth things over.

I'm afraid that at this juncture, if I irritate Jun Zi again, things will get bigger.

"My second brother, Wei Lin is working in the city and is away from home. From now on, you have to learn to follow the crowd. Who do you think is the fool in our family? No one!"

In a rare moment, Yao Xiangui scolded his second sister-in-law Yan Suxia from the side. Seeing that the latter lowered his head to stitch without saying a word, he continued:
"It's rare for Wei Fang to come back. As the second sister-in-law, you can't patronize the younger one. What's the point?

Besides, you should know what Jun Zi did during this time. You usually love Li Wen and Li Wu a lot, right?Do you think the two of them would be embarrassed on this occasion today? ! "

For the first time, Yao Xiangui criticized his second sister-in-law in front of the whole family. Not only was every word reasonable, but he also specifically mentioned that Yao Weijun often bought things for Li Wen and Li Wu.

This immediately made the second sister-in-law even more embarrassed. She kept sewing stitches for a while, but when she was about to change the subject, she accidentally pricked the tip of her finger with the needle, and she screamed "Oops" in pain.

Yao Weijun frowned. He originally had something to say, but now blood was oozing out of his second sister-in-law's hands, so he couldn't say much.

"Second sister-in-law, let's eat some canned food. I heard that this stuff can cure diseases. If you eat it, your eyes will grow faster."

Yao Weifang was not a good person either, so she said kindly to her second sister-in-law Yan Suxia.
