The uncle, aunt and uncle were talking enthusiastically when they saw Jiang Xinyu coming from the corner.
While they were chatting about other people's gossip, they subconsciously shut up when they saw her.
Jiang Xinyu looked around at the uncles and aunts with a smile on her face, called out to say hello, and said, "Are you all eating?"
The uncle sipped the noodle soup and said, "Is your family stewing meat again? We can smell it from afar."
Jiang Xinyu nodded casually and glanced at Zhang Tiezhu with a smile, her eyes were full of contempt, as if she was looking at trash.
Zhang Tiezhu was unhappy, "What's that look in your eyes? You don't know how to respect your elders at all!"
Jiang Xinyu sneered in her heart, "I saw you wandering around the door of my courtyard a while ago. Do you want to go in and steal something?"
Zhang Tiezhu: "Don't spit on others! You can't talk nonsense."
Jiang Xinyu: "Don't wander around my house from now on. My dogs are always loose at night. If a thief gets bitten after entering the yard to steal something, he deserves it."
Zhang Tiezhu had the nerve to find a matchmaker. Even if her mother kicked him out, she might do something shameless because she had no idea about her. Of course she had to be vigilant and alert to him.
When the beauty Jiang Xin left, the uncle said with a smile: "Zhang Tiezhu, please don't worry about it, my daughter will not look down on you."
"It's not just someone's daughter, it's someone's mother and daughter who all look down on you."
"If you don't work hard all day long and wander around outside every day, who can look at you?"
"Your parents are not people like you, so how could they give birth to a son like you? You have cut off the roots of your Zhang family."
"You are already in your forties, and you cannot work hard and live a serious life. If you really want to live a good life, there is a widow with two boys in the village next door, and her family is poor. You want to
If you want a wife, I will tell you."
Zhang Tiezhu was not happy to hear other people say disparaging things about him. Just when he was about to get angry, he heard his aunt introduce him to a widow with two sons and a daughter. He sighed and said, "You think I don't know that widow? Her own family
Ding Dangxiang is so poor that she doesn't forget to bring things to her mother's family. Her son is as thin as a bamboo pole. How could he ever see her like this? I don't want to be taken advantage of. I not only raise her children, but also support her parents' family. Isn't that stupid?
?”
The first aunt looked at him sideways and said, "You also think it's stupid to raise other people's children. Isn't it also stupid for Mother Chen Xiuyun to let you in? Your calculations are weird, and others are not stupid either."
Zhang Tiezhu left cursing in his heart.
He is the first to marry, so why is he not worthy of a widow like Chen Xiuyun?
Jiang Xinyu went to Chen Yi's house, where he was repairing a bench. She told Aunt Miao about the radio and mentioned Zhang Tiezhu.
"Why does this old bachelor have the nerve to let people come to his door? He doesn't even look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue he has."
Zhang Tiezhu is like a smelly rat at the door of the house, and no one can make him disappear from the team.
Chen Yi stopped what he was doing and said thoughtfully, "I've seen him in town. He played cards with a group of big men."
There are also people playing cards and gambling these days, but the bets are small, only twenty-eight cents, and some bills.
But if you are caught, you have to squat on a fence and rehabilitate yourself for a while.
The two talked for a while, and Jiang Xinyu greeted Widow Wang before heading home.
Early the next morning, Chen Yi drove Jiang Xinyu to town on his bicycle. He had a broken radio in his hand, but it was missing parts and had not been repaired, so he had to find parts.
After a meeting at noon, we finished our meal in the school cafeteria and were about to go shopping with Song Guifang when we met He Yong and He Zhi, father and son, at the school gate.
"Uncle, why are you two here? Are you here specifically to see me?"
He Yong's legs and feet are still a little weak and he walks with a limp, but he seems to be in good spirits.
"I came to see you. I have something to tell you."
Jiang Xinyu turned to look at Song Guifang, who waved her hand, "You go ahead, I'll go shopping by myself."
Jiang Xinyu and He Yong and his son went to their house. He Pengfei had left yesterday and there was no one at home now. Miao Yue entertained her with biscuits and fruits, and also made a cup of malted milk.
With such enthusiasm, Jiang Xinyu subconsciously thought that they had something to help.
"If you have any questions, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help."
He Zhi took out a piece of chestnut cake and waved it in front of her, "Sister Xinyu, it's like this. You said yesterday that this was made by your family."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "Yes, I made it myself. I asked my partner to make the mold for me."
"It tastes very good. It's as delicious as the snacks sold in department stores. It also looks good."
Jiang Xinyu was slightly guessing in her heart, but she kept her calm, "I also put malted milk and peanuts in it, so the taste is definitely not bad. So, what do you mean?"
He Zhi pointed at He Yong, "You should know that my dad used to drive a truck, and he would also pick up some things along the way to support the family. Are you willing to do business with us in partnership?"
The He family could open this mouth because they knew that Chen Yi was making trouble and mentioned it to Jiang Xinyu, and even if the matter failed, they were not afraid of being reported.
Jiang Xinyu has always wanted to make money. After reform and opening up, she will be able to do business openly, and she will have to have initial capital, right?
Her mother told her about Zhang Fengmei, and she was a little scared. The situation at home was not bad now, and Comrade Chen Xiuyun didn't want to take risks, and felt it was unnecessary.
"Someone in our brigade was caught speculating before and had to spend three months in a cement factory for renovation. Isn't this a bit risky?"
He Yong simply said: "What we mean is that you wholesale it to us and we don't need you to sell it."
Without selling, the risk is greatly reduced.
Jiang Xinyu asked a question, "Uncle, I'm very excited about what you said, but I don't have the raw materials, and I don't have many hairy chestnuts at home. I would like to make it, but it's a pity that I don't have anything."
"It doesn't matter. There is a businessman in your commune town who I know very well. He is honest and smart. He has a lot of food in his hands, including various goods. You can make chestnut cakes, so you should be able to make other things too.
"
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "I can also make mung bean cake, saqima, red date cake and so on."
Miao Yue said with some pity: "There used to be a woman wearing a headscarf selling red date cakes on the black market in winter, but no one came to sell them for several months, and she couldn't eat them."
Look, there are a lot of people going to the black market to buy things. As long as there is demand, there is a market. Chen Xiuyun hasn't been selling for a while, because there are always those who want to eat.
Jiang Xinyu coughed lightly and said seriously: "My uncle and aunt's family are all open-minded people in my heart, but friction is easy to occur in business. What I mean is that we have to negotiate all the conditions before we can cooperate."
He Yong and the other two nodded, "That's for sure."
