The smile on Bai Bo's face was a little stiff.
He wiped his face, rubbed away his irritation, and still asked her in the gentlest voice: "Daughter-in-law, who told you what?"
Zheng Lirong gritted her teeth and held the key tighter.
She said: "I counted it again this morning. We have saved 84,000 yuan over the years, which is enough to survive for the rest of my life... Lao Bai, I haven't had a good night's sleep since you started this business." , close your eyes and you will be arrested by the police... We have money, we have spent enough, can we stop doing it?"
She frowned and looked at Bai Bo with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Bai Bo had only seen this look in her eyes on the wedding night.
Bai Bo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and reasoned with her patiently: "Daughter-in-law, think about it, what was the price of rice and pork 20 years ago? How much does it cost now? Shanshan and Xiaojun have to go to school and get married. ...Even if we don’t want to do any of this, wife, why are these brothers eating with me and I don’t care about them?”
Zheng Lirong bit her lower lip and said, "There are so many people, the second, third, and fourth can take care of things, why does it have to be you?"
"Why can we survive in this place? If I hadn't supported it..."
"Did you hold that up? My father and my grandfather's students were holding it up for you for the sake of our old Zheng family!"
These words were like a big invisible hand that directly strangled Bai Bo's neck, causing his face to turn red.
Indeed, he was able to build such a stable black market because of the connections left by his father-in-law.
Can……
"Why the hell do I do this job of taking guns for a living? Isn't it just to treat your parents and take medicine?"
Bai Bo's eyes were filled with blood.
Back then, back then...
When he, a fatherless and motherless orphan, married into the Zheng family, something went wrong in the family just a few days after his daughter Zheng Shan was born.
He was a small laborer in a grain store carrying large bags, and he could barely support his wife and his wife. But in the blink of an eye, winter came, and the environment where my father-in-law and mother-in-law lived was harsh, and the two elders fell ill one after another...
He carried large bags during the day, and went to nearby villages at night to collect eggs, vegetables, and mountain products, and then sold them on the black market. He had to walk twenty or thirty miles a day, and the soles of his feet were worn out layer by layer.
Later, he met one of his father-in-law's students on the black market, a student who worked as a trade union officer in a food factory...
Later, step by step, he reached today, and he could no longer hold back.
Who the hell wants to lick blood if they can live a stable life?
Thinking of her parents, Zheng Lirong shed tears.
Seeing his wife's tears, Bai Bo felt a little guilty. He stretched out his hand dryly and patted her shoulder: "What about that, wife, I don't blame my parents...it's just that if I quit now, I won't do it today." , I have to die tomorrow.”
"Daughter-in-law, I promise you, when your sister's supply of goods is stable, I will slowly break off the relationship with the people in the factory, and then push everything to the third and fourth sons... Just wait, I'm sure You let the three of you live a stable life."
Zheng Lirong wiped away her tears, threw the key to him, said "Whatever you want" angrily, and turned around to go out.
She was scared, really scared.
Especially recently, she couldn't sleep all night long. Whenever she closed her eyes, she dreamed of Bai Bo being shot...
Bai Bo held the key and was silent for a moment, then turned around to open the box and counted out another 20,000 yuan from the neat pile of money.
…
Lin Nianhe heard the sound outside the door.
The corners of her mouth rose quietly, she cleared her throat and said, "Uncle Feng, do you think it's okay?"
Feng Yuanshan was a little confused. After a moment, he shook his head: "You don't need to donate money. You only have that little money for a month. It's not enough for you... Don't worry about the Victory Brigade. They are short of money." It’s not just tuition.”
Lin Nianhe said "Huh". She knew what Feng Yuanshan meant, so she did not continue on this topic. Instead, she said: "Actually, I came here today to ask you, can we raise some chickens and pigs in the school? Eggs can replenish the child's body, and this is also part of the labor class."
Feng Yuanshan touched it, picked up the teapot and took a sip of water, hesitatingly: "There are so many children in your school, and you have to provide them with eggs, why don't you raise thirty or fifty chickens? Chickens...there is no money."
It’s not that no school has thought about raising chickens, but the question is where will the money come from?
Feng Yuanshan began to feel worried again, and wiped his face vigorously out of habit.
Lin Nianhe said with a smile: "If you want us to raise chickens and piglets, we will figure out a way ourselves... Buying chickens is expensive, but buying eggs to hatch chicks is not that expensive. I will choose fertilized eggs. "
Feng Yuanshan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? You can do it? Ordinary people can't do this job!"
"Really, I can, the accuracy rate is... ninety percent."
Lin Nianhe smiled confidently.
Of course she is confident, there are thousands of fertilized eggs in her space!
She bought it casually at a breeding farm. She planned to raise two chicks for fun when life in the end of the world was really boring. She also has a professional egg incubator, but she can't take it out.
But with so many aunts in the Shili Brigade, there must be someone who can hatch chicks, right?
Feng Yuanshan stood up immediately. He looked at Lin Nianhe with excitement: "If that's the case, you can raise them. You can build a chicken shed and raise as many chickens as you want!"
Lin Nianhe smiled meaningfully: "This is what you said, you can raise as many as you like."
"Okay, anything is okay! If the boss doesn't let me, I'll sit in front of his office!"
Feng Yuanshan excitedly held Lin Nianhe's hand and shook it: "It's just Teacher Xiao Lin, if you succeed here, can you please help other schools get some chickens?"
"Of course." Lin Nianhe smiled brightly, "Put it on me!"
"Okay, okay..."
Feng Yuanshan immediately took out the letter paper and opened the letter of introduction. As he wrote, he muttered: "Just go to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick it up, right? One egg costs six cents, thirty pieces cost one dollar and eighty, hiss..."
Seeing his distressed eyes, Lin Nianhe couldn't help but said, "How about I take it?"
One dollar and eight!
Are we the big leaders in charge of all commune schools?
As for, very so.
Only the head of the family knows that firewood and rice are expensive, and all the schools in the commune are asking him for funding!
Let alone one and eight cents, Feng Yuanshan couldn't wait to break it open and spend it on eight cents.
Feng Yuanshan didn't answer Lin Nianhe's request to pay for it out of his own pocket, so he counted out one dollar and eighty cents and gave it to her along with the letter of introduction. He reluctantly told her: "Teacher Xiao Lin, you have to keep this money, pick carefully, and pick slowly." Don’t be afraid at all, just improve your accuracy.”
Lin Nianhe: "Okay."
"Put the money in your pocket."
"OK."
"Go slower on the road, don't lose it."
"Um...can you relax your hands?"
"Oh...hiss..."
Lin Nianhe clutched the wet one-eight yuan and the letter of introduction and ran out of the commune, fearing that Feng Yuanshan would regret and take the letter of introduction back.
