"Grandma, give me a few yuan. I'll go to the nearby Pigeon Market tomorrow morning to see if I can buy food.”
It was a sunny day, and he still had the afternoon to make use of it. He could ripen a few pumpkins at night.
When the time came, it would definitely be very promising in the pigeon market.
However, he needed a reasonable explanation.
"No need. You just arrived and aren't familiar with the area. I'll go tomorrow.”Zhang Xiuzhen glanced at her mother-in-law and hurriedly said.
"Xiao Bin's mom, you're not in good health. Rest more. Anyway, Zhengyu has nothing to do. Let him go.”
Grandma said with a smile. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wrapped it with money.
"Mother, how can I use your money to buy food?”
Zhang Xiuzhen wiped her hands and stopped her mother-in-law. Then, she swiftly took out a roll of money and stuffed it into Chen Zhengyu's hands without counting it.
Although Grandma was staying at her son's house, she was not in the mood to give her mother-in-law a hard time. As a daughter-in-law, she had to be careful.
Furthermore, Father Chen was a filial son.
"Auntie, I'll take care of our food in the future.”
Chen Zhengyu accepted the money and said half-jokingly.
She had to admit that Father Chen had good taste in picking a wife.
It wasn't Zhang Xiuzhen's fault that the Host was thrown to the countryside. It was Father Chen's fault.
Ever since she married Father Chen, although Zhang Xiuzhen didn't dare to say that she was hardworking, she had become a good daughter-in-law and stepmother.
Otherwise, a hooligan like Chen Weimin would have been chased out long ago, let alone get married.
After Grandma and Chen Zhengyu moved in, they had never given them any face.
Putting himself in Chen Zhengyu's shoes, Chen Zhengyu naturally wouldn't be stingy when he had the game farm. He could sunbathe and solve problems with a flick of his finger.
Of course, someone was an exception.
He would have to settle the score sooner or later.
"Alright, then I'll rely on you to support me in the future.”
Zhang Xiuzhen casually agreed, but she did not take it seriously. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter what era it was, it was not easy to be a stepmother.
In the past, Chen Zhengyu wasn't close to her. Although he didn't say anything bad to her, he always had a cold face.
She knew the reason and could only try her best to make up for it.
However, in the past few days, Chen Zhengyu's attitude towards her had suddenly improved a lot. For this reason, she had even spoken a lot of good words to Father Chen.
"You only know how to brag. If you can support yourself in the future, hurry up and marry a wife and give birth to a great-grandson.”
Grandma was trying to sabotage him.
Yang Fangfang, who had been married for half a year and still had no signs of pregnancy, quietly shrank her body. The expression on her face was a little unnatural. The next morning.
The sky was still dark, but Chen Zhengyu got up from his warm bed.
This time, Chen Weibin did not wake up.
However, Grandma heard the commotion and walked out with her clothes draped over her.
"You've just arrived in the city and are unfamiliar with the place.”
As she spoke, Grandma stuffed some money into Chen Zhengyu's hands.
"Grandma, don't worry. When has your grandson ever suffered a loss?”Chen Zhengyu waved his hand and did not take it.
Yesterday afternoon, his stepmother, Zhang Xiuzhen, had given him money. He went back to the house and counted it. It was 11.80 yuan, which was already a lot.
Moreover, the reason why he wanted money was to give everyone a misconception so that they would not be suspicious if he made food out of thin air.
"Why are you fighting with your brother? It was fine if they were fighting at home, but when they went out, they had to protect themselves. If anything happened, they had to run.”
Grandma glared at Chen Zhengyu and stubbornly put the money into his pocket.
"Alright, I promise to run faster than a rabbit.”
Chen Zhengyu didn't decline anymore. He had grown up in front of his grandmother and knew her character very well.
Chen Zhengyu took the flashlight and left in a hurry after saying goodbye to his grandmother.
Chen Zhengyu had already asked his underling, Chen Weibin, about where Pigeon City was. He had even specially asked him to take him there as a scout.
Yesterday, after lunch, he had persisted outside for more than five hours. He had accumulated some energy, but he was still freezing.
However, the pain he felt when he saw the five big old pumpkins was nothing.
Pigeon City in the 1960s could be considered a product of necessity.
Strictly speaking, it was illegal, but because of the special nature of this era, in many cases, they turned a blind eye.
Most people preferred to call it a black market. Not only was it chaotic and shady, but the most important thing was that the price was black.
After Chen Zhengyu entered the black market, he turned off the flashlight and began to scan the people squatting on both sides of the road.
Perhaps some people would think that the black market in this era was like the morning market in the future. The two sides of the market were filled with hawkers selling vegetables, and they could buy whatever they wanted.
In fact, the two were not the same concept at all.
Chen Zhengyu walked slowly for more than ten meters. There were only a handful of people in front of him who had things on display. Most of them were squatting there. They either had an empty basket, a few stones piled up, or a few chicken feathers in their hands.
"Uncle, what are you selling?"
Chen Zhengyu came to the middle-aged man who was holding a chicken feather in his hand and asked softly.
