50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 101 Getting Beaten
"You agreed? You agreed to her carrying 3000 kilograms of firewood to school?"

"Puff~cough cough! Cough cough!"

When Sun Zhiwei heard the number 3000 kilograms, he couldn't help but spit out the large mouthful of cold tea in his mouth.

He took a slow breath and placed the teacup on the table.

Then, like an arrow shot from a bow, he grabbed the feather duster on the table with his right hand and grabbed Sun Aila with his left hand.

With a single hand, he pinned her down on the bench, and then the feather duster flew around.

"Pa, pa, pa" three whips were given to Sun Ailai's butt.

Sun Zhiwei's movements just now were so fast that his godmother sitting next to him didn't react. Sun Ailai was also stunned and forgot to cry out.

It was only after three whippings that Sun Ailai finally reacted.

"Wow" burst into tears.

However, this time Sun Zhiwei was determined to teach her a lesson, and he didn't stop beating her at all, so Sun Ailai continued to be beaten.

"I'll make you a loser, snap."

"I'll make you vain, snap."

"3000 pounds, right? I'll give you 3000 lashes today to teach you a lesson. Snap, snap, snap."

Tong Jiajia, who heard the noise in the yard, immediately ran in to check the situation. When she found that it was Sun Zhiwei beating her sister, she quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Hearing her sister-in-law coming in, Sun Ailai quickly called for help: "Sister-in-law, help me."

"Stop hitting her, stop hitting her. She's getting hurt. Just reason with her." Tong Jiajia still couldn't bear to hit the child.

"What's the point? She took away 3000 kilograms of firewood from our house. Did you know that?"

His godmother also advised him: "Zhiwei, firewood is not expensive, just teach him a lesson, don't hit him for real."

"Godmother, help me! My brother is going to beat me to death."

"I told you to scream for help, snap."

Seeing that both saviors were useless, Sun Ailai had to use his ultimate move.

"Wow! Mom, Dad, and my brother are going to beat me to death. I miss you so much."

"Dad, Mom, where are you? Take me away, wow~!"

When Sun Zhiwei heard her calling "Mom and Dad", the feather duster in his hand stopped in mid-air and he could no longer hit her.

He sighed, threw the feather duster on the ground, and went back to the bedroom alone.

Sun Ailai, lying on the chair, recalled her parents whose memories were gradually becoming blurred. She cried more and more sadly and couldn't stop.

Tong Jiajia and her godmother hurried over, rescued Nannan from the chair and checked the wound. Fortunately, she was hit through her pants, so the wound was just red and swollen, but not bleeding.

The two of them coaxed her for a long time before she stopped crying, and she was only sobbing.

The godmother took the opportunity to teach Sun Ailai a lesson: "You've learned your lesson, right? You've upset your brother today. Go over and apologize."

Knowing that she had passed this level, but the aftereffects of the ultimate move were still there, she nodded obediently and was helped by the two men to the door of the master bedroom.

The door opened and Sun Zhiwei was sitting alone by the bed, his face filled with frustration. He felt like a failure because he hadn't taught his sister well.

The godmother gently pushed Sun Ailai, and she rushed over and hugged her brother: "Brother, I was wrong, I will change."

Holding his still twitching daughter, Sun Zhiwei sighed and said, "Do you really want to change?" "Yes, I really want to change."

"Okay, I believe you, but there won't be a next time."

"Does it still hurt?"

"pain."

Sun Zhiwei carried her to the bed and made her lie down, then lowered his head and pretended to look under the bed, but he actually took out a medicine box that had not been used for a long time from the space.

This medicine box was left by his parents. Over the years, he has to go to the hospital every year to replace expired medicines. Today it finally came in handy.

"Let your sister-in-law and godmother apply medicine to you, and the pain will go away tomorrow." As he said that, he handed the medicine box to Tong Jiajia.

Tong Jiajia was a little surprised when she looked at the medicine box. She never knew there was a medicine box at home.

"This is what my parents left me. I have to update my medicines every year, and all the medicines here can be used."

After explaining, he asked them to apply medicine to Nannan while he returned to the living room.

After a while, he walked into the kitchen and looked at the pile of firewood. He estimated that there were still 1000 kilograms left, enough to keep the family burning for a while, until the village delivered firewood next month, so he ignored it.

Hearing that the coal station was promoting honeycomb coal, he decided to take this opportunity to renovate the stove at home.

The next day was the weekend, and Nana needed to rest her butt, so she stayed at home all day. Sun Zhiwei was responsible for feeding her. After this incident, the relationship between the two siblings became even better.

However, as a punishment, Sun Ailai did not receive any pocket money for next month, and he sighed at home all night.

In October, after the new stove at home was renovated, the neighborhood committee started to run a public canteen. After discussing it with the family, the three members decided to give it a try, but they only tried it for a month before returning.

Their family is indeed not suitable for this large canteen model, because they often get off work very late, and by the time they get to the canteen, there is no food left.

Sun Zhiwei wrote a statement and submitted it to the street office. After Aunt Liang signed her consent, the family started cooking again. The new stove had just dried out, and from then on, they used honeycomb coal.

Honeycomb coal is more expensive than loose coal and much more expensive than firewood, but it is indeed convenient, makes the kitchen much cleaner, and saves fuel.

In the end, the cost was only slightly higher than burning firewood, which is still acceptable.

During this period, Sun Zhiwei began to prepare for the difficulties in the following years.

According to the information he had learned, there was a ghost market in the east, south, west and north of the city, and there were even more spontaneous markets in the suburbs.

As the types of tickets increase, these underground markets become more and more prosperous. The regulatory authorities clean them up from time to time, but they can never completely clean them up.

Because he had no shortage of food and clothing, he had never been to these places before. Now, in order to raise the supplies needed later, he decided to go and take a look.

Tong Jiajia had to work the night shift that day. In the evening, he simply made some noodles and ate them by himself. Then he set the alarm clock to 11 o'clock, took some things he needed to deal with from the storage point in the basement of the hospital opposite, put them in the space, and then went to bed early.

The nearest ghost market is in an alley near the imperial city. People don't start coming until after 10 pm. He needs to rest early, otherwise, after a night of tossing and turning, he will not have the energy to go to work tomorrow.

“Ding ding ding~!”

At 11 o'clock, the alarm clock rang on time, and Sun Zhiwei was dazed for a while before he woke up.

Seeing that it was getting late, he quickly got up, put on an old cotton coat over his woolen clothes, and put on an old military cap.

He got this by exchanging some cotton cloth from a firewood seller in the village. It doesn't keep people warm very well, but fortunately it's not too cold yet, so it can barely keep out the rain and wind.

He put a dark fur scarf around his neck to cover his mouth and nose, put a bamboo basket on his back, and pushed his bicycle out.

The north wind was howling outside, and there was no one around. Only occasionally did lights flash in the alleys in the distance. Those were people getting off their night shift.
