Chapter 164 Picky Eaters
Jiahao really thinks that his younger brother is sensible.

Of course, she also felt a little sad when she saw him speak carefully and look at her face.

He used to be the bully of his family, but half a year's experience made him cautious.

"Stinky boy, I know I feel sorry for my parents." Jia took good care of the tone he used to talk to him, and said as relaxed as possible: "Later, you will follow your brother-in-law to the black market for a stroll, and if you have suet, buy more."

Jia Yunhang subconsciously looked at the eldest brother-in-law who was not familiar with him, and in his heart he was more willing to go with the eldest sister.

However, Zhen Youqin didn't want to let go of the opportunity to please his brother-in-law, and smiled at him gently: "Xiaohang, let's go for a walk?"

Even if Jia Yunhang didn't want it in his heart, but he wanted to live in the elder brother-in-law's house, so he couldn't help but give the elder brother-in-law face.

Zhen Youqin is also a frequent visitor in the black market, not only knows how to pick things, but also bargains, and has a special wink. Seeing his brother-in-law looking curiously at the big chunks of sesame candy, he also went up to ask the price.

Jia Yunhang blushed with embarrassment, and quickly pulled the sleeve of his padded coat and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, I'm not greedy, so I don't need to buy it."

He was just surprised that the black market was so lively, and because he had never seen such a large piece of candy, he just took a few more curious glances.

Now he is also sensible, and he is satisfied when he can eat enough.

"It's okay, let's buy some to taste," Zhen Youqin smiled at him: "If it tastes good, I'll buy it again tomorrow, and take some back as a homemade product."

The middle-aged woman who sold the sesame candy knew that these two people were not rich when she saw their clothes, and said with a smile: "This sesame candy is very sweet and not sticky to the teeth, and the price is not expensive. It only costs three cents a catty. I guarantee you I still want to eat after eating."

The price doesn't sound expensive, but this candy is especially heavy on the scale. Zhen Youqin picked a medium-sized sesame candy, which weighed more than five catties per scale.

There is so much variety on the black market that it rivals department stores.

Seeing that the padded jacket on his body was the one they bought for him before, Zhen Youqin bought him hats, gloves, scarves, etc. one after another, and discussed with him what color and style of hats, scarves, gloves, etc. to buy for his father-in-law.

I also bought some pork suet, pork, pickled fish, tube noodles, etc. I also bought half a catty when I saw tea leaves.

I bought some fruit peels, peanut nougat, cat ears, popcorn and so on for my brother-in-law.

The sum of these things cost nearly 40 yuan, which is almost two months' wages of ordinary workers.

Although Zhen Youqin felt a little distressed and felt that the money was really worthless, but thinking that not only could he please his brother-in-law, but also his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he didn't feel so distressed.

He looked at his watch and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and said to his brother-in-law: "Xiaohang, let's go back, and call your sister to go out for dinner together."

Seeing that he had spent so much money, Jia Yunhang didn't change his face, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that life in the countryside is not as difficult as it is said in the legend.

And seeing that he didn't spend the money for digging and searching, it means that this big brother-in-law can make money.

On the way back, Zhen Youqin told him about interesting things in the countryside, such as being able to catch maque in winter, and going to the mountains to set traps to catch hares.

Jia Yunhang's eyes are brightened by digging wild vegetables in spring, swimming in the river shirtless in summer, fishing, catching shrimps and snails, and finding all kinds of wild fruits in autumn.

Zhen Youqin also told him like two good brothers, that he and others were burning charcoal for speculation, and when he met people from the Revolutionary Committee in private, how could he slip away cleverly.

Even when encountering surprise inspections in the black market, he can call himself a smart ghost and slip away quickly.

Jia Yunhang has been really frightened in the past few months. Their life was more difficult than it is now, and their situation has only improved in the past two months.

But now is the time for him to worship heroes.

I saw a lot of people who didn't dare to resist before, but now I heard my elder brother-in-law secretly fighting against the members of the Revolutionary Committee, and I didn't suffer at all. On the contrary, it was because I met a lot of capable people.

He looked at the eldest brother-in-law with bright eyes: "Brother-in-law, you are really good, and I will follow you to help in the future."

"You're still young," Zhen Youqin would definitely not want to bring a tow bottle to trade, so he wouldn't be able to use Xiao Qi to hide the truth, so he could only pat his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You have to study hard, Be a scientist or a leader in the future, so that we can take advantage of you in the future."

When they went back, they saw Jia roasting on the fire, eating frozen pears, reading a book, very leisurely.

She saw them coming in with big bags and small bags talking and laughing, and she also looked at her man with admiration. She didn't expect him to coax her brother in such a short time.

Zhen Youqin told his daughter-in-law what he had bought and put them away before asking his siblings: "What do you want for dinner?"

Jia Yunhang looked at the briquette stove in the room still heating hot water, and felt that he had spent a lot of money today, so he decided to save some money: "Just cook some noodles."

And curiously asked: "The current guest house not only has a charcoal basin but also a coal pellet stove?"

Jia Haohao realized that he had been careless. How could there be a briquette stove in the guest house? He asked Xiaoqi to take it out and forget to put it away.

She said without changing her face and heart: "It was borrowed with some money, and you can just pay it back when you leave."

He looked at his brother again and said, "Don't you like to eat dumplings? The mutton dumplings here are delicious. Let's go eat dumplings?"

There is no one who is not greedy for meat nowadays, especially Jia Yunhang who could eat fish and meat every three days last year, but now it is difficult to even fill his stomach in the past few months.

Hearing what my sister said now, I couldn't help swallowing: "Mutton can also make dumplings? We used to eat pork dumplings?"

"That's right, so let's try something new, shall we?" Zhen Youqin said with a smile.

There is a lot of mutton here, and some state-run restaurants only sell mutton dumplings or mutton buns. The three of them ordered [-] dumplings with thin skin and big stuffing. It only costs four yuan and two catties of food stamps. The taste is really good. Very good, and the three of them were able to eat enough.

Of course, Zhen Youqin ate [-] of them by himself, and Jia Haohao specially packed five of them in a lunch box for Xiao Qi to eat.

Jia Yunhang thought that the elder sister would keep breakfast for tomorrow, but when he got back, he saw the elder sister took out a kitten from the bed and let the kitten eat dumplings.

At that moment, he almost rushed to grab the food: "Sister, why doesn't the cat need to eat so well?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi sniffed the dumplings and meowed unhappily: "It's cold, it must not taste good, you put some oil on it and fry it."

Still very picky: "Why don't we try making dumplings with roe deer next time?"
