Huang Ming listened to what Jiang Feng said, and looked at the eyes of his wife and children. His heart softened, and he could only say helplessly: "Okay, you are all grown up, I can't tell you anymore, go ahead, but you can only go two days a month at most." After that, he also picked up the wine glass and said to Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu: "You are all grown up, it's good to have your own opinions, but you must also do it within your ability and can't affect your lives."

Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu quickly picked up their glasses and took a sip with Uncle Huang. After they put down their glasses, He Yuzhu said, "Uncle Huang, let's not talk about my blind date this time. You've watched us grow up since my dad left. I treat Xiaowei like a younger brother. I'll do as you said and come twice a month. Don't worry, it won't have any impact."

Huang Ming felt emotional. He never thought that the son of the old squad leader has grown up now. Although he met He Yuzhu through Jiang Feng, he could see what kind of character he has over the years. He helped him just for Jiang Feng at that time, but over the years, he also treated these little ones as his own children and nephews. Although his family's life is not bad, the monthly ration is limited, and there is no such thing as so much meat to eat. Adults can bear it. Every parent leaves the best things to their children.

He Yushui's mouth was full of oil. His favorite dish was the boiled chicken. He ate almost half of it, but put the chicken legs into Xiaowei's bowl. He was not interested in what his brothers were talking about. Instead, he got along better with Xiaowei. They ate and muttered to each other. When they heard that Uncle Huang agreed to let Xiaowei go twice a month, He Yushui and Xiaowei cheered happily.

Xiaowei is only five years old this year. He is Huang Ming's eldest son. Huang Ming and Xin Xin met and got married before the liberation. Because of work reasons, the two were always separated. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that they were transferred to work in the old city. In 1951, Huang Jianwei was born and named after him. Both of them had great hopes for their son. Although anything good at home was left for their son to eat, in this era, it was considered good to be able to eat some fine grains. Thanks to Jiang Feng, who sent some fish, meat and the like from time to time, the food at home could be better, but most of it was given to Xiaowei.

Everyone finished their meal happily. He Yushui and Xiaowei sat there touching their stomachs. There was a cup of malted milk prepared for each of them on the table. They really had a good meal today.

Jiang Feng saw that everyone was almost done, so he also spoke up, "Uncle Huang, there's something else. I got two watch tickets, but they're still out of stock. Today I went to the department store to ask, and they said that a batch of goods will arrive before National Day, but I need to find someone. I wanted to ask if you know anyone at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Huang Ming thought for a moment and said, "I do know him, but he may not be able to make the decision on this matter. How about this? I will go to his house tomorrow to ask him who to go to. These scarce materials are being closely monitored by the higher-ups. Many people have already made reservations through connections. The department store must have some for sale, but I may not be able to grab them."

He Yuzhu was a little tongue-tied: "Uncle Huang, it's okay. If it really doesn't work, we can wait until the Chinese New Year and buy it then. It doesn't have to be too much trouble."

Jiang Feng, He Yuzhu and Huang Ming were in high spirits today and drank two bottles of wine. He Yuzhu was a little dizzy because he drank too much at the beginning, but Jiang Feng didn't feel anything. After taking the pills, his physical condition should have improved. He usually drank more than half a pound and just felt his face a little hot.

Jiang Feng saw that it was almost done, so he stood up and said goodbye to Huang Ming. He would ask about the watch first. It would be best if he could find a connection, but if that didn't work, he would have to do as He Yuzhu said. He would have to think about it carefully when he got home in the evening, as the system had issued another task.

He Yushui followed her two brothers out. Xiaowei was still behind, holding sister Yushui's sleeve. Huang Ming sent them to the gate of the courtyard. He Yushui took out a few candies from her pocket and put them in Xiaowei's pocket, saying, "You can't eat them at night. Eat them tomorrow. You can only eat two a day. If Xiaowei is obedient, I will bring you more next time I come."

Xiaowei nodded his head, his eyes were invisible due to laughing, and his little hands touched the candy in his pocket, wondering how many days it could last.

Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu said something to Huang Ming, then called Yushui, got on their bikes and left. He Yushui didn't ride a bike today, and Jiang Feng was afraid that He Yuzhu had drunk too much, and it would be fun if he rode his bike into a ditch. So Jiang Feng took He Yuzhu with him, and He Yushui rode He Yuzhu's bike, and they slowly headed towards the courtyard.

Huang Ming stood at the door and watched them go. When he could no longer see anyone, he took Xiaowei home. As soon as he got home, he told Xin Xin that He Yushui had given Xiaowei candies again, but the mother confiscated all of them. After Xiaowei argued with her mother, her mother gave Xiaowei two candies one day and finally coaxed Xiaowei to go to sleep.

Jiang Feng and his friends got home. He Yuzhu was a little drunk after being blown by the wind. He drank too quickly tonight and was busy talking without eating much. Jiang Feng helped He Yuzhu go into the house and lie down first. He then came out and pushed the bicycles inside. He urged He Yushui to go take a shower and go to bed.

He went out to get a basin of water, wiped He Yuzhu's face, and then threw him on the bed and left him alone. He Yuzhu was now sleeping in Jiang Feng's living room, also with a bed set up. Jiang Feng came back with a few buckets of water and went into the inner room to take a shower. After everything was cleaned up, Jiang Feng had time to look at the task in his mind.

The task was issued at Huang Ming's house. At that time, He Yuzhu was still cooking, and Jiang Feng just took the time to take a look. System task: The plot has been monitored to enter a major turning point: He Yuzhu is getting married, and now someone is making trouble behind the scenes. Misunderstandings have arisen in Li Xiaoyan's family. Please ask the host to find out who is making trouble behind the scenes and resolve the Li family's misunderstandings; Reward for completing the task: Proficiency in Russian.

Jiang Feng lay on the bed and thought carefully. If there was anyone who caused trouble, it was only a few people in the yard. According to He Yuzhu, the factory had not offended anyone yet, and after the last propaganda by the police station in the yard, no one dared to go out and tell lies. Since the Li family had a misunderstanding, it must be a problem over there, either the textile factory or near his home. Jiang Feng also recalled some of the things He Yuzhu had done recently. Was it because he took Li Xiaoyan out to play and was seen by someone that he did that? If it was something that happened in the past, it should have been exposed long ago.

But He Yuzhu is asleep now, so there is no need to ask. Since it is said to be a misunderstanding, it is not a big deal. We will know tomorrow at the earliest, or we will have to wait until Monday when we go to work to find out. The news is probably passed on by Uncle Huang. It is not easy to be a matchmaker nowadays. Some couples have to find a matchmaker or a mediator to mediate after a quarrel.

But this reward is still good. It happens that I will enter the factory next year. Those equipments are all provided by Big Brother. With this, I can also read the manual and communicate with the maintenance personnel there. At present, Chinese language is still weak. Many senior translators have either gone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or received notifications to perform tasks. But I still have to think of an explanation. I can't say that I can learn it all at once. It seems that I still have to think of a way in school.

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and looked at the time. It was past ten o'clock. It was so fast. He had to get up early tomorrow morning. Although someone arranged meals for the masters every day, since it was a holiday, he should still prepare it tomorrow morning so that the masters could have a full meal in the morning. Jiang Feng also closed his eyes and went to sleep.

When it was dawn the next day, they got up and did the same as last time, but this time they made steamed corn bread, which was large in quantity and filling. Jiang Feng also told Li Ming to make some more steamed buns for lunch, as they would not have to go to work today and could eat at Jiang Feng's place, so there was no need to cook here.

After saying hello to He Yuzhu and asking him to stay at home to watch over the situation, Jiang Feng pushed his bicycle and went out with his fishing gear.

He Yuzhu had nothing to do at home, so he cleaned Jiang Feng's house. Then He Yushui got up, had breakfast, and helped clean. After everything was cleaned up, He Yuzhu went to the main house to take a look, distributed cigarettes to the masters, chatted with Master Lei for a while, and then went back to Jiang Feng's house to sit. After He Yushui finished his work, he ran out to play and went to see his classmates again.

It was almost 11 o'clock when Jiang Feng came back. There were some cabbage, potatoes and a piece of fat meat weighing more than one pound in the front of the car. However, there were more than ten crucian carps in the bucket, big and small. He went to raid the crucian carp nests today.

He Yuzhu took the dishes and quickly ordered: "I'll go get the dishes, Xiaofeng, go kill the fish."

Jiang Feng went to the pond with the fish and the knife. He Yuzhu processed the meat at home and started to refine the oil. Soon the whole front yard was filled with the aroma of oil pressing, and the people living in the front yard also began to suffer magical attacks.

The third uncle was also at home today. When he saw Jiang Feng come in, before he could even start a conversation, the two of them started to work hurriedly. The third uncle was so annoyed that he was sitting in the house angrily. Seeing this, the third aunt said to the third uncle, "Old Yan, Jiang Feng and the others are so busy. I'll go ask if I can help and see if I can get some fish back."

The third uncle smelled the meaty aroma in the air and said, "No need. I just checked. They are all crucian carp. They have a lot of bones and little meat, and they waste oil. There are only about ten of them in total, not enough for the workers to eat. Don't waste your time."

When the third aunt heard this, she lost interest. The rule of the Yan family is that it is not that you cannot do something, but it depends on how much benefit there is. It is impossible to do something without any benefit, and it is also impossible to do something if the benefit is not enough.

After He Yuzhu had finished cooking the oil, he thought that there were many people, so he cut the meat into small pieces, and got more than ten potatoes. He made a big pot of stewed potatoes with meat, fried some cabbage with oil residue, and braised the fish. Since there were more than ten fish, he added some soup, and it was good to eat with steamed buns or corn bread.

Jiang Feng had finished processing the fish, and the aroma of meat wafted through the yard. Standing in the middle yard, Jiang Feng heard Jia Jiabanggeng crying again, probably because he was greedy. Jiang Feng ignored him and went to the front yard with the fish.

Today is Sunday, and most people in the courtyard are at home. The Jia family still has corn flour and steamed corn bread for lunch. After so long, Banggeng's personality has changed a lot. At least he doesn't dare to throw a tantrum anymore. At most, he would howl a few times for meat, but Jia Dongxu suppressed him every time with slaps and shoe soles.
