The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

The next day, he didn't have to go to work on Sunday. Yan Jiecheng got up early, put on his clothes, packed them neatly, went to the state-owned store to buy matches, seasonings, and buckets for fish, and then rode his bicycle towards Shangzhuang Reservoir.

Shangzhuang Reservoir was built in 1958. The reservoir closest to Beijing is located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, 30 kilometers away from Beijing.

There are crucian carp, carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, catfish, black and mandarin carp in the reservoir. Among them, the largest carp can reach more than 5 kilograms, and crucian carp weighing about 500 grams is not uncommon.

There is basically no one managing the reservoir now, unlike in later generations where large-scale fishing was not allowed at all.

After riding for more than two hours, I found a deserted place, put the bicycle into the space, took out the fish net in the space, and found a place to lower the fish net.

Walk to the shore, take out a small bench, sit down, take out the fishing rod, fix the fish ear on the hook, and throw it into the water.

In the courtyard, Aunt Wang from the street office was talking to Sha Zhu in his room.

"Sinzhu, the last time you went to our street, didn't you ask me to introduce you to someone?" He took out a few photos from his pocket and put them on the table, "Do you have anyone you like?"

Silly Zhu picked up the photo on the table and looked at it, "Aunt Wang, what is this person's name?" Silly Zhu pointed at a photo of a person and said.

"This person's name is Wang Xia, and she works in a textile factory. If you like her, I will find a time to arrange a blind date for you," Aunt Wang said with a smile.

Silly Zhu: "Okay! Just make your arrangements. Do you think I have anything to prepare here?"

Aunt Wang: "At the very least, you have to clean up the house, take good care of yourself, and get some clean clothes. Don't always be like this, smelling of oil smoke. You also have to prepare some peanuts and melon seeds.

, you can’t just sit there when people come.”

Silly Zhu: "I understand, don't worry, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy clothes later, I promise not to embarrass you."

Aunt Wang: "Okay, just take it seriously. You are already a big boss. Look, all the people in your courtyard who are as old as you are married. You are the only one missing. If you continue like this, you will really be single."

"I know, I'm worried too! I can't help it, Xu Damao from our hospital always makes trouble for me and speaks ill of me behind my back. Xu Damao ruined my first few blind dates," Silly Zhu said with gritted teeth.

.

"When I see Xu Damao, I'll warn him not to cause any trouble for you. If your blind date doesn't work out this time, then our street won't care about you." With that, Aunt Wang left the courtyard.

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat on the bed and watched Aunt Wang leave: "Huai Ru! This street office is going to introduce someone to Sha Zhu."

Qin Huairu: "Just introduce me. How can our family prevent others from finding a partner?"

"Then we can't just let him get married, at least not now. If he gets married, how will our family live in the future? He can still take care of our family as before. Even if he is willing, his wife is not willing!"

"Then what should we do? Can we still destroy it for him?" Qin Huairu

"come here…"

Qin Huairu: "Is this possible?"

"It will definitely work. We can't count on Xu Damao. If Xu Damao doesn't work, you have to go. You can't let him get married." Mrs. Jia Zhang had a fierce expression on her face.

After Aunt Wang left, Shazhu walked around the house and thought for a while before coming to the uncle's house, "Master, Aunt Wang from the street office wants to introduce a partner to me."

"This is a good thing, it's time for you to get married," the elder said with a righteous look.

"That's a good thing. Why don't I come to you to borrow some money? As you know, my place was so fucked up yesterday that I didn't even leave a penny for me. Please lend me some money. I'll

It’s good to be ready!” Silly Zhu looked embarrassed.

The first man: "How much do you need? With our relationship, I can still lend it to you."

"Please give me fifty yuan and I will return it to you after I have paid my salary."

The uncle said, "Okay, when your aunt comes back, I will ask your aunt to send it to you."

Now the uncle has not thought about bringing Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu together. He only wants to help Qin Huairu to make the Jia family think of him and give him another choice for his retirement goal.

"Then I'd like to thank you. When my blind date is successful, I'll treat you to a drink," Silly Zhu said with a smile.

"Okay! You just need to prepare the dishes. I also have two bottles of good wine. When the time comes, we will celebrate it for you." The first man said with a happy expression on his face.

The first man is now very satisfied with Shazhu's attitude towards him. The old lady said that this courtyard house will help him take care of himself in his old age.

"Okay, please rest, sir, I'm going back." After saying that, Shazhu went home.

When Yan Jiecheng came back in the evening, he heard from the third aunt that the street office wanted to introduce a partner to Sha Zhu.

Yan Jiecheng didn't take it to heart.

It’s impossible for Silly Zhu to still want to get married. Even if Xu Damao agrees, Qin Huairu won’t agree, let alone the first uncle. Even if the first uncle doesn’t work, he doesn’t have the money to get married, although the wedding gifts are very expensive now.

Low, you don’t have to buy everything in three rounds. You have to have one or two things. Old Jia married a rural man and bought a sewing machine at home. He Daqing was worthy enough of Silly Zhu to leave him such a

He has a big house and a job arranged for him. Not to mention how many parents in this era can do this in future generations.

After dinner in the evening, when everyone was asleep, Yan Jiecheng got up, packed his things and rode his bicycle towards the ghost market.

Today's harvest is not bad. All kinds of fish put together are estimated to weigh about 500 kilograms. Now it costs 35.1 kilograms to buy fish in the wet market, and you need to have a ticket. If you sell these 500 kilograms of fish for just money,

I can also sell small 200 yuan, and I can buy it all after a few visits. When the time comes to find a young wife, it won’t be a good thing. I can’t think about it until my mouth is watering.

When I came to the ghost market, I found a place where no one was around, took out the prepared bucket, put the fish in, and found an open space to place them.

As soon as it was placed, someone came over and asked, "How much does this fish cost per pound?"

"If you have a ticket, it's 30 cents. Any ticket will do. The ratio is based on an industrial roll weighing 5 jin. If you don't have a ticket, it's 50 cents per jin."

"Okay, give me five pounds," he said, taking out an industrial coupon and one dollar and fifty cents, and handed them over.

After that person left, a few more people came one after another. After a while, they were sold out, and then they moved to another place to continue selling.

Nowadays, supplies are in short supply, especially food. State-owned stores in wet markets are sold out as soon as the goods arrive, because some people are quick and some are slow.

After selling the fish, I rode my bicycle back to the courtyard.

Yes, I gained more than 160 yuan in one day, and most of the various bills were industrial rolls, cigarette stamps and alcohol stamps. Very few people traded food stamps and non-staple food stamps.
