Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Get out of state-owned restaurants.

Went to the bank.

Zhou Zheng took out all the money in Zhou Yunhai's passbook, thinking it would be more convenient to keep it in his portable little world.

Opposite the bank is Daokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Keep a close eye!

There is a long queue in front of the supply and marketing cooperative!

Maybe it’s because of the snow, people are very enthusiastic about shopping. It wasn’t so lively here in the past.

A few days ago, when Zhou Yunhai was buried.

I don't know who stole the thermos at home.

Zhou is preparing to buy another one.

So he walked to the supply and marketing cooperative and stood at the end of the long line.

The person standing in front of Zhou Zheng was a middle-aged man.

He had a cigarette in his hand and was chatting enthusiastically with the woman in front of him!

I don't know what their relationship is.

Zhou Zheng was a little bored.

He craned his neck to look ahead of the team.

Trying to find someone familiar.

Unfortunately, even though the supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people, no one saw any of the residents of Yard 95.

"It seems I have to queue up by myself!"

He thought truthfully.

About thirty minutes passed.

His feet were numb from the cold, and now it was his turn!

The salesperson who greeted him was an older sister with pigtails and a pretty smile.

She thought Zhou Zheng was cute.

Just soften your tone.

"Little brother, what do you want to buy?"

Zhou Zheng pointed at the shelf.

"Beautiful sister, please bring me a thermos, thank you!"

See Zhou Zheng is well-behaved and polite!

The saleswoman was happy.

So he got Zhou Zheng a thermos of the best quality.

“7 yuan!”

This price really shocked Zhou Zheng.

You have to know that during this period, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker was only 20 yuan, and a thermos bottle accounted for one-third of it.

The saleswoman noticed that Zhou Zheng's expression changed.

I thought, "Maybe he has no money."

I saw Zhou Zheng had already taken out a big black ten from his pocket.

Only then did she smile.

"Little brother, do you need anything else?"

Zhou Zheng bought another five kilograms of peach cakes and one kilogram of sugar cubes.

But when he looked at the sugar cube jar, his expression became a little strange.

Because there is a "jumping frog" right next to the sugar cube jar.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was very generous and staring at the "Jumping Frog", the saleswoman smiled knowingly and started introducing it.

"Want to buy a jumping frog? 3 dollars each!"

Zhou Zheng didn't know what to feel.

But he nodded.

"Then please, pretty sister, get me one!"

This jumping frog was obviously much better looking than the one Director Yang gave him. It was painted green and had black stripes on its back, and it really looked like the real thing.

The saleswoman handed the jumping frog to Zhou Zheng and introduced it to him.

"The jumping frog is a toy invented by the Third Steel Rolling Mill. It was just sold at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday! Many children like it very much."

At this time, the person standing behind Zhou Zheng suddenly spoke.

"Comrade! Please give me one of these jumping frogs! It's my son's birthday today."

The saleswoman smiled slightly.

"Ok!"

Zhou Zheng paid another 3 yuan and then slipped out from under the counter.

"Goodbye, beautiful sister!"

Leave the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhou Zheng was holding a thermos in one hand and peach cakes and sugar cubes in the other.

Carry a "hopping frog" in your pocket!

I feel particularly happy!

He felt a little proud and complacent!

He imagined how much his classmates would admire him as the "designer" when each of them had a "jumping frog".

Yan Fugui surprisingly did not block the door.

Or maybe he went out for something.

Zhou Zheng returned to the courtyard smoothly.

The west wing of the front yard.

Xu Chengzhou set up a large iron pot in front of the door.

When he saw Zhou Zheng coming in, he shouted, "Xiao Zheng, come and help your uncle!"

Wait for Zhou Zheng to come forward!

He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve.

"Help me lift the iron pot up a bit, and I'll put some padding underneath."

There is a chair at the door.

Zhou Zheng put the things in his hand on the chair.

Then he did as Xu Chengzhou said and gently lifted up the iron pot.

"Is that so, Uncle?"

Xu Chengzhou quickly shook his head.

"No, no! Just lift this side, there's no problem on that side."

Zhou Zheng said "Oh" and put the other side down.

"What about this time?"

Xu Chengzhou then said.

"Yes, hold on! I'll be done soon."

As he said this, he picked up some broken bricks from the ground and filled the gap.

During this time, he did not forget to chat with Zhou Zheng.

"Xiao Zheng, don't you have a thermos at home? Why buy another one? If the inner liner is broken, you can buy a new one separately. Don't waste money."

Zhou Zheng complained.

"Uncle Xu, you don't know! My thermos was stolen by someone, and I've been drinking cold water for several days."

Xu Chengzhou looked up at Zhou Zheng and frowned.

"Didn't Auntie Three borrow your thermos? Don't you know?"

Zhou Zheng was stunned!

"I didn't say anything!"

Xu Chengzhou suddenly realized something and changed the subject.

"You also bought peach cakes, they are quite expensive!"

Zhou Zheng was still thinking about the thermos and responded casually.

"It's OK! Sometimes when I can't get up in the morning, I just eat some peach cakes to fill my stomach."

Xu Chengzhou sighed.

"I've wanted to try peach cakes for a long time. But, they're too expensive. I can't bear to buy them! You young people are the ones who are willing to spend money."

Only then did Zhou Zheng come to his senses.

I feel a little contempt in my heart!

He didn't respond to Xu Chengzhou's words.

"Uncle Xu, it's alright, I can't hold on any longer."

Xu Chengzhou saw that Zhou Zheng was not getting along either.

But I was too embarrassed to ask the child for it.

Then he said, "Okay! Let go, thank you, Xiaozheng!"

Zhou Zheng quickly picked up the things from the chair.

"You're welcome! Uncle Xu! I'll go home if nothing else."

As he said this, he walked towards the east wing.

Xu Chengzhou smacked his lips.

I felt it was a little funny, but I didn’t know whether I was funny or Zhou Zheng was funny.

The corner yard was empty.

There is still a lock on the doorman "Lao Li's" house.

Come to think of it, "Old Li" hasn't been back for a long time.

Zhou Zheng always felt that "Old Li" might never come back, and this feeling was very strong.

Use the key to open the gate to the east wing.

The yard was wet.

Fortunately, the courtyard was paved with blue bricks, so my shoes didn't get dirty.

He looked at his shoes again.

I can't help but feel a little regretful!

I should buy a new pair of shoes.

Now that I'm home, I can't go out again.

He thought of the thermos again.

Xu Chengzhou said that his thermos was borrowed by the third aunt.

This must be taken back.

We must not encourage this unhealthy trend.

He thought of the enamel basin from Yan Fugui's house which was still with him, so he thought that if Yan Fugui didn't return the thermos, he wouldn't return Yan Fugui's enamel basin either.

The room was a bit cold because the stove hadn't been turned on for a while.

Zhou Zheng found two coal briquettes from the kitchen.

He opened the furnace.

The primer has gone out, which makes Ran very troubled.

This kind of coal stove is very difficult to light.

I don’t know if he can succeed!

He learned from his memory that he could exchange a new coal for someone else's burning coal, so he went out with the fire tongs.

Xu Chengzhou was still tinkering with the stove at the door of the east wing.

He shouted.

"Uncle Zhou, is there still fire in your stove?"

But Xu Chengzhou said, "It's a different era now, how can you keep the stove lit all day? If you can't light it, let me help you light it! You are such a big kid, but you can't even light a coal stove. Won't you be laughed at?"

Zhou Zheng felt a little unhappy!

I'm here to help, why are you talking so much nonsense!

"Forget it! I won't bother Uncle Zhou anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and went home.

He began to hate Shazhu.

"Damn you, you idiot, you actually kidnapped my little cook. It's already so late, why haven't you come home yet?"
