Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua finally went to the captain's house.

Of course she didn't come empty-handed, but brought a piece of tofu.

When Song Lianhua saw her coming with tofu, she guessed that she had something to ask for, so she called the old man over directly.

Zhang Xiuhua directly stated her purpose of coming. "The team doesn't give out rice popcorn sticks, but I have to give out tofu. I have six children, and the work points from the team are not enough. I rely on the tofu for supplementary income."

The team leader nodded. The tofu shop was originally allowed by the commune. It was natural for her not to stop working. "If you are too busy and don't want to work, I can understand."

Zhang Xiuhua saw that he had misunderstood and quickly waved her hands, "No!"

She was stupid, she gave up such an easy job as a scorekeeper. She still had to spend money to buy food later.

She shamelessly stated her purpose, "I want to borrow a bicycle."

Song Lianhua and the old man looked at each other. To be honest, they really couldn't bear to part with it. The bicycle cost 180 yuan, and he spent 20 industrial tickets to save for so many years. He was so distressed when his grandson rode it.

The captain smoked his pipe and thought for a long time, while Zhang Xiuhua sat there awkwardly.

Amid the smoke, the captain finally agreed, "Okay! But you have to promise not to crash the car!"

Zhang Xiuhua's eyes lit up and she immediately raised her hand to promise, "I will take good care of the bicycle and will not damage it."

She handed the tofu to Song Lianhua, who glanced at the captain's eyes and nodded. She said to Zhang Xiuhua, "Wait a minute, I'll free up the bowl."

After a while, Zhang Xiuhua left with the empty bowl.

As soon as she left, Song Lianhua pushed the old man and scolded him impatiently, "Why did you lend out your bicycle? It's such a valuable thing, what if it gets bumped or scratched?"

The captain blew out a puff of smoke, and after the old woman jumped up and down anxiously, he spoke slowly, "You! You only think about the little piece of land in front of you. I think the wife Jianguo married this time is not simple. She is open and honest, and she will be right in the future."

"It has nothing to do with us whether she is simple or not. She has so many children. She would never think of our Guoxiang if anything good happens!" Song Lianhua curled her lips.

The captain nodded, "Who knows what will happen in the future. Besides, they have bicycles at home, so if they really bump into something, they have bicycles to compensate us."

Song Lianhua agreed immediately after hearing this. "That's right! Her bicycle was bought not long ago, it's still new."

**

The next morning, after Zhang Xiuhua finished making the tofu, she distributed it and then rode her bicycle to Hongqi Commune to deliver the tofu.

She rode her bicycle to deliver the goods with great effort, but she was unexpectedly poured cold water on. The supply and marketing cooperative here no longer wanted their tofu.

"You didn't tell me in advance? I've already made the tofu!" Zhang Xiuhua believes that people should be honest. You can choose not to have the tofu, but you should at least give it to me one day in advance, right? !

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative pushed up his glasses and said, "You didn't say that? Maybe you forgot?"

This light tone is so irritating.

Zhang Xiuhua held back her anger and secretly stuffed a handful of candy into her mouth. The director of the supply and marketing cooperative confiscated it, but his tone became much better. "It's not that I don't want to help, but the higher-ups have decided. We replaced it with tofu from Zhoujia Village."

Zhang Xiuhua frowned. Zhoujiacun had snatched one order and was not willing to give up. Now they snatched another one?!

Seeing that the commune didn't want it, she didn't say anything else. She just stuffed the candy to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative and then rode away on her bicycle.

She originally wanted to send tofu back to the space, but she thought it was not a solution.

So he took a detour to Red Star Commune to find Zhou Boda.

This person lives in the town and used to go to the black market to speculate. If he is asked to help sell tofu, he will definitely make more money than the commune.

She also became a supplier in the Five Star Commune.

She rode her bicycle to Wufu Lane as Zhou Boda had mentioned. The houses here were old and small, and one could tell at a glance that this was their ancestral home.

She rode her bicycle to the entrance of the alley and happened to meet an old lady. She asked her about Zhou Boda's home.

The old lady didn't rush to give directions. She kept her eyes on the tofu on the back seat of the bicycle. She looked around and came over to ask, "How much do you sell this tofu for?"

Zhang Xiuhua quoted a price.

The old lady smacked her lips, it was a bit expensive, but the other party didn't want a ticket, and the tofu was selling better than the current commune. So she signaled Zhang Xiuhua to wait, she would go back to get the money now.

Zhang Xiuhua asked her to show the way first, "It's not convenient here."

The old lady pointed to the house at the end of the alley and then left in a hurry.

Zhang Xiuhua rode her bike over, walked to the door and knocked.

Soon Zhou Boda came to open the door, and when he saw Zhang Xiuhua, he quickly invited her in.

Zhang Xiuhua told the story of how she went to deliver tofu to Hongxin Commune, but the other party refused to take it.

Zhou Boda asked her to wait, "I will go find someone for you now. You should leave quickly after selling the tofu."

This is because she was afraid that she would run into a patrol team and be taken advantage of.

After saying this, he ran away in a hurry.

Before long a bunch of people came, all of them were neighbors nearby.

The black market has been turbulent recently, and many speculators dare not go to that alley to sell things. Seeing that she didn't want tickets, but only money, everyone bought one or two kilograms. In a short while, most of it was sold.

Zhou Boda did not call the remaining families. "They are all new here. I don't know them well and I'm afraid they will complain. I'll take you somewhere else."

Zhang Xiuhua followed him, and this time they went not to the old city area, but to the grain station staff quarters.

These people are considered public officials, but they have nothing to do with Fatty Wang and will not report him.

These people had plenty of money and quickly sold out the remaining tofu.

However, Zhang Xiuhua specially kept one piece to thank Zhou Boda for his help.

Zhou Boda was a little embarrassed. "That won't do! I should also thank you for buying me spinach on credit last time. My wife is feeling better after eating the spinach."

Zhang Xiuhua laughed, "Take it. I just wanted to talk to you about something."

Zhou Boda couldn't refuse anymore, so he took the person home.

Zhou Boda’s wife, named Bai Su, was in very weak health. Zhou Boda invited Zhang Xiuhua into the house. She was leaning on the table, gasping for breath.

How can this be malnutrition? It's clearly a cough!

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, and Zhou Boda explained, "She has been coughing a lot in the past few days, and her illness is getting worse. I think it's a symptom left over from the abortion."

Bai Su was afraid of infecting Zhang Xiuhua, so she asked Zhou Boda to get her a mask.

The mask was made of gauze, with several layers, but it turned yellow after washing, so it was probably useless. But it was better to have it than not.

Zhang Xiuhua wanted to ask Zhou Boda to help her sell tofu. She would pay for the tofu, 30 yuan a month.

She was earning 10 work points in the countryside, but there was no risk in selling tofu in the countryside. Selling tofu on the black market in town was too risky. If the price of tofu doubled, the salary would naturally double as well.

Zhou Boda's eyes lit up for a second, but then he turned around and went into the house, taking out something wrapped in newspaper, which looked like a square box. He and Bai Su looked at each other with a bit of reluctance, as if they were looking forward to something, or as if they were lost in memories.

Finally, Zhou Boda opened the paper package layer by layer like peeling an onion, revealing the innermost layer, which turned out to be a piece of fine white jade.

Zhang Xiuhua had seen the fine items that Jidong had collected, among which was an ancient jade, the color of which was not as good as this one, but it was worth as much as 500,000. This jade was as white as jade, without a single flaw, and it felt warm in the hand, and it was obviously a good jade at first glance.

"This jade is my master's heirloom. Many people want it. I'm leaving it to you as a token of my love." A plate of tofu would cost at least several dozen yuan. He didn't have that much money, so he could only use the jade as collateral, "and the money from selling vegetables last time."

He took out two silver dollars from his pocket and wanted to exchange them for money at the black market, but after what happened yesterday, there were very few customers, so he didn't sell the silver dollars.

Zhang Xiuhua pushed the silver dollar back and took the jade. "Put it on my side. I'll bring the tofu to you at this time tomorrow!"

The reason why Zhou Bo was not allowed to go to the village to get it was, firstly, he didn't have a bicycle, and secondly, they didn't know much about it and couldn't let all their family assets be revealed.

Zhou Boda nodded, reluctant to look at Yu, but finally looked away with difficulty.

Zhang Xiuhua had finished her work and did not plan to stay long, so she said goodbye and left.

When Zhou Boda sent her out, he warned her, "Be careful next time you sell things, don't sell to just anyone. Some people are bad and will tell on you. When the patrol comes, you'll lose everything."

Zhou Boda agreed on a delivery location, which could not be at his home but had to be on a main road in the suburbs.

Zhang Xiuhua wrote them down one by one. In fact, she was not that stupid. The reason why she dared to take such a risk was that the patrol team only collected things and did not approve D. Of course, the patrol team did this not out of kindness, but because they knew the long-term strategy. Only if they did not arrest people, those people would continue to speculate and profiteer, and the patrol team could continue to confiscate things.
