Chapter 34: What is a Brother?
"Uncle, do you have any battery tickets here?" After the fish were exchanged for fishing rods, Zhang Ze thought about the battery tickets.
If this uncle's family has it and is willing to exchange it, then he doesn't need to go to the black market to find someone to buy it.
He Weiping was stunned: "Battery ticket, why do you want this?"
"The fishing is good at night. I usually go fishing at night. No, in order to make it easier to walk at night, I went to the scrap station and bought a flashlight with a broken switch. Now I am short of battery tickets to buy batteries." Zhang Ze put the flashlight in the bamboo basket
She took out the flashlight and looked at him and said.
He Weiping was stunned: "Why did you buy a broken flashlight?"
"Yes, there is no way. I don't have a flashlight ticket, so I can only go to the scrap station and get a usable one." Zhang Ze spread his hands, "Uncle, if you have some, I will trade them with you for lobsters."
"I don't have a flashlight ticket, but I do have a battery ticket. If you want, you can exchange it for lobster."
"Of course I do!"
"Okay, then come with me."
He Weiping immediately took him back to his home, took out the battery ticket and handed it to him.
"Don't forget the lobster you promised tomorrow!"
"Guaranteed delivery!" For the ticket of three AA batteries, only five or six taels of lobster will be enough. Anyway, it is easy for him to catch lobsters now.
Mainly now you can go fishing at night when there is no moonlight, and it is more convenient to walk at night.
I just don’t know how many battery tickets the radio factory can get, but I guess he must use the batteries sparingly.
Even if the wind is strong at the beach, if the wind is gentle, he can get a torch to solve the problem.
After leaving He Weiping's home, he went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy three AA batteries, and then went to the market to buy a white-striped chicken.
The price is one dollar and twenty-three cents, and you still need a ticket.
But Zhang Ze now has enough tickets, so buying a chicken is cheaper than going to the black market.
He put the white-striped chicken that was mostly wrapped in paper into the bamboo basket, and put the flashlight and batteries into the small space.
After all the things that needed to be done were done, Zhang Ze walked to the bus stop.
As soon as he got home, he found that there was a little girl in his yard. Zhang Wu was holding a bowl and snoring, not knowing what he was drinking, making the little girl next to him swallow her saliva.
"Ah Wu, give me something to drink!" The little girl stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck to look into his bowl. She was the little flower in Zhang Wu's mouth.
There are four brothers in the family, and there is only one sister. Even in rural areas where sons are valued over daughters, she is usually treated as a treasure.
There are often good things to eat, which makes Zhang Wu very greedy, but he didn't expect that today it would be the other way around.
"Awu, what are you drinking?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.
As soon as Zhang Wu heard his voice, he immediately put down the bowl and said happily: "Brother, mom made loofah soup and put a lot of sugar in it. It's so sweet!"
Zhang Ze suddenly realized that it turned out to be loofah soup with added sugar. It seemed that he had not drunk this soup for 20 or 30 years.
Zhang Xiaorui also saw him at this time, and came directly to complain to him: "Brother Aze, Awu won't give me loofah soup."
Zhang Xiaorui is Xiaohua’s name. Her father asked his eldest son’s class teacher to give him this name.
I was deeply impressed by this little girl Zhang Ze. After all, she and her brother were childhood sweethearts. After growing up and getting married, Zhang Wu was lost for a long time.
He didn't even know when his brother fell in love with this girl, and he didn't even notice it.
Of course, it’s useless to like him. Back then, his family was poor and others looked down upon him.
He doesn't dislike Zhang Xiaorui. This girl is a bit squeamish because of her family's pampering, but because she was born in a rural area, she is unlikely to develop princess disease due to the conditions. Overall, she is a good girl.
"Little flower, come here, brother will give you a bowl of loofah soup!"
"Thank you, Brother Aze!" With his support, Zhang Xiaorui immediately made a face at Zhang Wu, and then happily followed him into the house.
Seeing her entering the room, Zhang Wu looked at the loofah soup in his hand and suddenly felt that it was no longer sweet.
Zhang Ze naturally understands his brother's thoughts. He was always greedy before, but this time he finally managed to win the game, which will make him feel like he has won.
But children don’t know that if you win, your wife may not win in the future.
When Zhang Ze walked into the house, he didn't see his mother and two younger sisters. He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zhang Xiaorui had been pestering Zhang Wu outside.
He gave her a bowl of cold loofah soup, and he also drank a bowl to relieve fever.
The sun was even stronger today, and just coming back from the town was enough to burn him out.
That is to say, he has been working in the sun all year round, and his skin has already been tanned like an ancient principal. Otherwise, he would be at least several degrees darker if he was not fishing or walking around during this period.
After drinking a bowl of loofah soup that was cold and sweet to the core, he saw Zhang Wu walking in and asked, "A Wu, where are mom and your two sisters?"
Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment, then patted his head in annoyance: "Oh, I forgot. Mom and sister went to work today to cut pigweed. I came back to deliver loofah soup to them."
"..." Zhang Ze glanced at Zhang Xiaorui, who was sipping loofah soup, and then glanced at Zhang Wu, who was speechless, "I'll send it to them. You and Xiaohua stay at home."
Zhang Wu nodded repeatedly. He would not dare to give it away now. If he gave it to him, he would be scolded, but he never thought that Zhang Huihong would also be scolded or even beaten when he came back later.
Zhang Ze took the bamboo tube hanging on the side of the cabinet, opened the lid and poured in the loofah soup one spoonful at a time. After pouring eight minutes full, he picked up the lid and closed it and walked in the direction of cutting the pigweed.<
/p>
There are still some things in the village that require each household to work on it in turn. This is an arrangement arranged by the team leader and it is generally difficult to refuse.
However, most of the diligent villagers are eager to get more, after all, cutting pigweed is a very easy task.
It didn't take long for Zhang Ze to see the three people working quickly.
"Mom, drink some water and rest first!"
"Aze? Why are you here, that little bastard Awu? Ask him to get some loofah soup and no one is here!" Zhang Huihong guessed that she was very thirsty, so she picked up the bamboo tube and drank several sips before passing the bamboo tube to the side.
Zhang Qian.
"Xiaohua pestered him for loofah soup, he must have forgotten you!" Zhang Ze sold Zhang Wu without hesitation.
As the eldest brother, he has been busy improving his family's situation, and his goal of having a wife has just been determined.
As a result, the younger brother was drinking loofah soup and teasing the little girl at home. If he doesn’t get a spanking on his butt tonight, he won’t be a real brother.
Zhang Huihong was really furious, cursing and saying that she must make her little son look good tonight.
Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing were also a little annoyed, saying that this younger brother was not considerate at all and they wanted to teach him a lesson.
Zhang Wu, who was smiling next to Zhang Xiaorui and asking her if the loofah was delicious, suddenly shivered inexplicably.
He looked around suspiciously: "Xiaohua, do you think my house suddenly became very cool?"
