Tong Mei ordered pork because tomorrow is Sunday and they are going back to Zhangjiayu.

Hold a make-up wedding banquet in Zhangjiayu. According to the rules in the countryside, getting a certificate is not considered a marriage, but having a wedding banquet is considered a marriage.

In fact, in this era, this is not only true in the countryside, but also in the city.

There are many people who do not go to the civil affairs department to obtain a marriage certificate. They just hold a wedding banquet and are considered married.

In this case, the state also recognizes it as a de facto marriage.

Tomorrow he will return to the village to hold a wedding banquet, and Zhang Yan has no expectations for this.

Who knows what kind of jokes his dad will make.

Zhang Yan was very dissatisfied with Tong Mei's approach of buying pork and bringing it back.

You can buy pork in town. The price is the same, but it will be fresher.

In 1956, the country had not yet implemented a meat stamping system. To buy meat, you only had to have money.

You can't buy it there if you have money.

Tong Mei bought pork and brought it home out of kindness, so Zhang Yan let her go.

In this era, if you can carry a pound of pork to visit relatives, it is always a matter of honor.

After dinner, the six children went to wash the dishes as usual, and Zhang Yan gave each of them five cents of pocket money.

However, what Zhang Yan didn't know was that these five cents were passed through the hands of a few children, and 80% of them were taken away by Tong Mei. The reason was to save them for them and buy them for the New Year.

New clothes.

In fact, even if he knew, Zhang Yan would not object.

Whose children did not have their parents take away their lucky money when they were young, on the grounds that they were helping to save money? Everyone has been doing this for generations.

Zhang Yan gave the money, and Tong Mei turned around and took the money away, so that they could better experience the dangers of society.

After eating, Zhang Yan went back to the room and continued reading and studying.

Tong Mei returned to the room after collecting today's pocket money from Xiaoluotou and others.

"Zhang Yan, I made a dress for you, you try it." Tong Mei took out a light gray tunic suit made of nigiri material.

There is a word called general school nun, which shows how scarce nuns are.

"You did it?"

"I asked a tailor to make it!" Tong Mei rolled her eyes at Zhang Yan angrily.

Zhang Yan put on new clothes and tried them on. They really fit her.

"Very good, very suitable.

How about it? Does your man feel more energetic when you put on the Chinese tunic suit?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.

"Well! You try these pants again." Tong Mei took out the pants again and handed them to Zhang Yan.

This is obviously a one-piece suit, and the pants are also made of denim.

Zhang Yan happily put on his pants and tried them on. They still fit him very well.

"How do you know my size?" Zhang Yan asked curiously.

"I compared it with your clothes. I asked the tailor to modify the parts that didn't fit a little bit. Now they look much better." Tong Mei smiled proudly and took out a pair of brand new leather boots.

Military leather boots, the kind of large leather shoes with fur inside.

"Aren't these clothes and leather boots expensive?"

"It's okay, but the supply is tight, so I bought it because of my connections."

"You just bought them for me, but what about yourself? You didn't buy any clothes?" Zhang Yan blamed himself for forgetting to buy clothes for his wife.

I'm going home to hold a wedding banquet tomorrow, and I have to buy decent clothes for my wife.

"I do!" Tong Mei said shyly.

Tong Mei was embarrassed to say that her clothes had been prepared before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It was stolen from a gmd agent.

When Tong Mei was still a little girl, she saw the beautiful clothes worn by the female gmd agent and vowed to prepare a set of clothes like that when she got married.

As a result, her little brother, Da Kui and Er Kui, found out about it. The two little guys sneaked into her house and found out a pair of identical, unworn clothes.

Tong Mei was so angry that she beat Da Kui and Er Kui hard. If she had a chance to sneak in, what could she get that wasn't worth more than clothes?

However, she can accept her brother's wishes.

I have kept this dress for seven or eight years, and today I finally have the opportunity to wear it.

Tong Mei took out a package from the bottom of the closet.

Open it, and there is a gray woolen coat on top, and a gray woolen women's small suit on the bottom.

This can be regarded as the earliest women's OL clothing.

However, seven or eight years have passed, and these clothes have long been wrinkled.

Even the woolen coat above is the same. Time has faded its original luster.

"Ah?! How could this happen?" Tong Mei looked at the clothes that had become disfigured, her eyes were red.

"Idiot, it's my fault for not thinking of preparing new clothes.

Wait for me! I'm going out." Zhang Yan put on his original clothes and went out.

"Why are you going?"

"Prepare clothes for you to wear tomorrow."

"Where are you going to get ready this late at night?"

"This is a secret, just wait." Zhang Yan smiled mysteriously, turned around and walked out.

Riding a bicycle to the bistro outside Qianmen.

As luck would have it, Mr. Lang Wu will be drinking in the tavern today.

Zhang Yan said hello to the proprietress and sat directly opposite Master Lang Wu, "Master Wu, are you drinking?"

"Doctor Zhang, am I remembering correctly?"

"I remember correctly, you always have a good memory!"

"Doctor Zhang have something to do with my old man?"

"I have something to trouble you with!"

"Tell me and listen!"

"I want to trade some yellow croakers with you." Zhang Yan said in a low voice.

"Exchange for yellow croaker with me?" Mr. Lang Wu looked up at Zhang Yan, thought about it and said with a smile, "What are you going to trade for?"

"Cash for food stamps, plus a favor."

"Okay, but you can't exchange it for the bank price."

"You have the final say!"

"Okay! When do you want it?"

"Now!"

"So urgent?"

"I was going to Dongjiaomin Lane and went back to my hometown to hold a wedding banquet tomorrow, but I neglected to prepare a new outfit for my wife.

At this point, you can only go to Dongjiaomin Lane."

"Okay! Let's go, gentlemen!" Mr. Lang Wu was also a cheerful person, so he agreed and stood up directly.

"Save the stuff for me, I'll come back later and continue drinking."

Zhang Yan followed Lang Wuye back home and exchanged food stamps and cash for ten small yellow croakers.

During this period, the bank's purchase price for gold was 110.5 one tael, while the small yellow croaker was the standard one-two tael.

This liang is not the liang in the current measurement unit, but the ancient measurement unit. One pound is equal to sixteen taels, and one tael is equal to 31.25 grams.

In other words, the purchase price of a small yellow croaker according to the bank is 110.5.

It is true that Mr. Lang Wu is willing to help, but he will definitely not sell it to Zhang Yan at this price.

After some discussion, Zhang Yan bought ten small goldfish for 200 yuan each plus ten kilograms of food stamps.

After leaving Master Lang Wu's home, Zhang Yan sighed.

The money I have saved for so long has almost been spent this time.

It seems that I have to study harder.

Zhang Yan did not go to Dongjiaominxiang now as he and Lang Wuye said.
