Babaoliang Village brigade branch!
"You're going to the city?"
Li Fengnian looked at his son-in-law and asked with a frown.
He was deeply dissatisfied with this son-in-law who could not lift his hands or lift his shoulders.
He also knew that his son-in-law was top-notch in terms of looks and knowledge. Not to mention the United Commune, even looking at the entire Yunshan County, he might not be able to pick out the second one.
But this is not the reason for him to bully his precious daughter!
If his stupid daughter hadn't been determined to be with this brat, he really wouldn't want to talk to him.
"Well, I want to go to the city for a few days. Dad, please give me a certificate!" Zhou Yang said.
Although his father-in-law looked disgusted now, Zhou Yang knew that this old man was a complete daughter-slave, he loved his house and took good care of him.
What's more, he really has something serious to do when he goes to the city this time, and he wants to come here to prove that he won't get stuck.
"Why are you going to the city? I haven't heard that you have relatives in the city?"
"Dad, my teacher introduced me to a way to make money before. Let me go and see if it works!" Zhou Yang said truthfully.
"Making money? Is the family running out of money? If not, let Youwei go home..."
"Dad, I know you love us and want to help us! But how long can you help us?"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "As a man, I also want to support our little family!"
"Well, he looks a bit like a man, but I have to remind you of some things!"
"Dad, tell me!"
"It proves that I can open it for you, even if you want to go back to the city, it's no problem, but I hope that even if you leave, you will do so in an upright manner, and don't leave secretly!"
Li Fengnian was worried that Zhou Yang would never come back, which would make his daughter sad!
"Dad, don't worry, I will be there wherever Youwei and the child are, and I will not leave them!" Zhou Yang said firmly.
"Okay, I hope you do what you say!"
...
Coming out of the brigade headquarters, Zhou Yang was a little excited.
With a certificate from the brigade, he would have the opportunity to look for opportunities to make money, and by making money he would be able to improve his family's living conditions.
Otherwise, I really can’t stand porridge and boiled potatoes every day!
When I got home, I saw Li Youwei busy in the kitchen, while Baoer was playing with the mud alone in the yard.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming back, the little girl stood up happily and ran towards Zhou Yang on her short legs, shouting "Dad" happily.
Zhou Yang hurriedly took two steps, then picked up his precious daughter, looked at her dirty little face and said, "Let's go, daddy will take you to wash your face, you are almost turning into a little cat!"
"Bao'er is not a little cat, Dad is, geek!"
Li Youwei heard the sound and turned around. Seeing the little girl twisting and turning in Zhou Yang's arms, she hurriedly said: "Bao'er, come down quickly, dad's not well yet!"
"No, dad raise it high!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "It doesn't matter!"
Then he lifted the little girl to his neck and took her to wash her hands!
By the time Baoer was cleaned up and returned to the house, Li Youwei had already prepared the meal.
A few wild vegetable steamed buns, three bowls of rice porridge, and a plate of cold bitter vegetables!
This meal is so...healthy!
At this time, Li Youwei took out a fist-sized clay pot from the cabinet where the condiments were kept, then scooped out a spoonful of brown sugar and put it into Zhou Yang's bowl, and said, "Eat it!"
Li Youwei's actions made Zhou Yang couldn't help crying. He remembered that this girl was like this in the previous life. He knew that he couldn't get used to eating such clear soup and watery meals. When eating porridge, he would always dig a spoonful of sugar into his bowl, and she But the children are reluctant to eat.
"Mom, Bao'er wants to eat Tangtang too!"
"It's not good for children to eat sweets, as they can easily damage their teeth!"
Zhou Yang held back his tears.
He pushed the bowl with sugar in front of Bao'er, then touched her little head and said: "Bao'er wants to drink sweet sugar porridge, then drink it!"
"Just spoil her!"
With that said, Li Youwei dug out a spoonful of brown sugar from the jar with some distress and prepared to put it into Bao'er's original bowl.
Zhou Yang knew that in this era, supplies were scarce, and sugar was a luxury product, very precious. He hurriedly said: "Don't let it go, keep it for Bao'er!"
Seeing Li Youwei's puzzled eyes, Zhou Yang hurriedly said: "I hugged Bao'er just now, and there's not even a ounce of flesh on his body. He's too thin!"
"You must not be thin. I think the eldest brother's Xiao Bing and the second brother's second son are not as heavy as Bao'er. They were all born earlier than Bao'er!"
"That's also thin!"
Indeed, Bao'er's weight is indeed pretty good now, but when she was three years old, she was still less than 20 kilograms. In later generations, the average weight of children her age is 28 kilograms, which is not even a little bit worse.
Although Li Youwei was also very happy that Zhou Yang cared so much about Bao'er, she still put the spoonful of sugar into the bowl and pushed the porridge in front of Zhou Yang.
Feeling the girl's deep love, Zhou Yang did not refuse, but took the candy jar, took a spoonful from it, and put it into Li Youwei's bowl.
"You should be more generous and don't refuse!"
Li Youwei couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Not only was brown sugar expensive, but sugar coupons were difficult to obtain. These brown sugars were obtained by her father when she was in confinement the year before last.
I begged for two kilograms at that time. After confinement and consumption in the past few years, I now have less than three kilograms left. I won’t last long if I eat like this!
"Is the certificate ready?"
"Well, dad prescribed it for a total of 3 days!"
"Then you go early and come back early, and don't buy or sell, or you will be sued!" Li Youwei warned.
She knew that the situation in the past two years was not as tense as before, and some people's minds became alive. Many people in the village often ran to the black market in the city in the middle of the night. It was said that some people did make money.
However, the authorities are very strict about this. Once someone reports someone, their property will be confiscated, or they will be sentenced directly!
She didn't want her man to get her involved for money.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I still have this sense of propriety!"
Although buying and selling can make quick money, Zhou Yang really doesn't like it. Not only is it risky, but he also makes little money.
Moreover, a scholar like him really doesn't like this method of making money. He has an easier and more profitable way than buying and selling, and that way of making money is in the city.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Although we can't eat white flour buns every day at home, with the help of my parents, we won't be hungry!"
"Yeah, I know!"
Having said that, Zhou Yang knew in his heart that he had to make money, and he had to make a lot of money.
On the one hand, it is because he urgently needs money to improve his living conditions, and on the other hand, Zhou Yang is worried about Baoer's health.
In the previous life, Bao'er was diagnosed with heart disease when she was five years old. Although the little girl does not have any symptoms now, Zhou Yang decided to take her to the provincial capital for a physical checkup as soon as possible.
In addition, it is already June of 1975, and the national college entrance examination was resumed in September of 1977, which means it is only a little more than two years since we were fully admitted.
This will be an opportunity for their family to get out of the farm and move towards a broader stage.
So Zhou Yang not only wanted to take the college entrance exam, but also wanted Li Youwei to take the exam with him.
As for whether he can pass the college entrance examination, Zhou Yang is not worried at all. His own level is only a matter of taking the college entrance examination.
And with his guidance, Li Youwei, who had gone to high school herself, would have no problem coming.
However, for two people to go to college together, the burden on their families is not small.
Although going to college in this era not only costs money, but everyone can also receive a salary, the small amount of subsidies given by the school cannot really support two people, let alone a baby named Bao'er.
Therefore, Zhou Yang knew that he had to earn enough in two years to pay for the two of them to go to college in the next few years.
If you can afford it, it would be best to buy a house in the city where you go to university.
And all this requires money, lots of money!
