59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"Old man, why are you willing to take out Moutai today?" Chen Jianguo was a man who couldn't sit still. He poured half a glass of wine and filled it up for himself, which made the old man frown and want to slap him.

"Humph, Xiao Feng changed three bottles."

That's it!

I was wondering why the stingy person was plucked.

Chen Jianguo said happily: "Xiao Feng, remember to save a bottle for me next time."

"Don't even think about it. This is for soaking tiger bones." The old man said mercilessly: "If you get married, I'll give you one or two to taste."

Chen Jianjun's eyes lit up.

Tiger bone wine, good stuff!

Chen Jianguo asked, "Dad, are you sure it's feasible to mail the tiger bones?"

There are very high requirements for mailing items now, and different places have different policies.

For example, in the Northeast, the amount of grain sent by mail cannot exceed one kilogram, and if you send medicine by mail, you need a letter of introduction from the Provincial Health Department to prevent speculation and infringement of public interests.

Tiger bones are also classified as medicines and have no weight limit, but there are restrictions on the type of item.

The old man laughed wickedly and said, "I am a retired Chinese medicine doctor. What's wrong with buying some cow bones and grinding them into powder for myself to eat?"

Uh, no problem!

Chen Jianguo nodded.

The elderly are treated preferentially by society, and veteran Red Army soldiers receive special treatment.

The two children ate a big steamed bun and stopped eating, waiting to eat the crab roe soup dumplings.

Chen Li, in particular, kept patting her belly, as if to promote digestion.

Chen Hao took his homework book into the kitchen and asked his father how to do it from time to time.

The old man, Chen Jianjun and Chen Jianguo did not eat the steamed buns either. Instead, they drank wine and ate vegetables, apparently waiting to eat the crab roe soup dumplings.

"One plus one equals one, one plus two equals two. Two plus two equals four..."

Zhou Qing is reciting the multiplication formula.

She has never been to school and has never learned math. She can do simple addition and subtraction, but she is not very proficient in multiplication.

Originally, according to the Red Star purchasing agent's requirements, the diploma must be at least elementary school graduation, and she was welcomed in as a special talent.

There are not many requirements, just pay enough meat every month.

But she didn't want to be laughed at, so she started learning math at home.

After Sha Zhu finished eating, he came over and asked when they could hire Teacher Ran as a tutor.

"Uncle Jianjun, the make-up lessons must be arranged earlier. The earlier the make-up lessons are, the earlier the grades will improve."

Chen Hao, who was waiting for the meat buns to be cooked in the kitchen, felt confused.

Make-up lessons, for whom?

He glanced at Chen Feng and felt that it couldn't be his elder brother. His elder brother was so smart, there was no need for extra lessons.

Could it be my younger sister?

The little girl was lying in Chen Feng's arms, listening to him telling stories.

That’s impossible! It’s too small!

After looking around, I suddenly thought of myself.

Is it possible? ! !

Chen Hao felt that something big had happened.

Why should your happiness be sacrificed for my happiness?

But he didn't dare to say.

After all, his parents often scolded him because of his grades.

What if you object now and don’t get to eat meat buns later?

One word: endure!

Wait until you finish eating the buns, then protest strongly!

Zhou Qing also thought it would be best to get this done sooner rather than later, so he said, "Okay, I'll ask Teacher Ran tomorrow to see if it's possible."

"Aunt, it must be done!"

Sha Zhu slapped his thigh and said, "Doesn't she like tofu fish? I'll come here to cook a pot tomorrow morning and you can bring it to her. I guarantee she'll agree to it right away and want more after she's had it."

"That's fine. Meat buns with fish soup, and 3 yuan per month as tutoring fee." Zhou Qing looked at Chen Hao, who had a bitter face, and said with a smile.

"Three yuan is too little." said Sha Zhu.

Chen Jianjun said, "Zhu Zi, you haven't even married her yet, and you're already thinking about her dowry?"

"How can that be possible? I'm just afraid that she won't agree." Sha Zhu felt that 3 yuan was too little, but it was one month's tutoring fee, not one semester or one year, otherwise he could advance one or two yuan.

Nowadays, the tuition fee for students in a semester is only one yuan, and in some rural areas it is only a few cents.

Yan Bugui from their compound used to charge only 5 yuan a month for private tutoring. However, Old Yan has been teaching for more than ten years and is not comparable to Teacher Ran, a newcomer.

The buns were made at around six o'clock and were not ready until around ten o'clock.

The power went out a little early tonight, before seven o'clock, so the Chen family took out the kerosene lamp.

As soon as the boiler is turned on, the boiling water mist spreads and a rich aroma fills the kitchen.

Chen Li, who was clearly dozing off, forced herself to wake up.

"Come on, have a taste."

Sha Zhu picked up one with chopsticks and gave it to Zhou Qing.

Chen Hao looked at him with contempt.

shameless!

"Brother Zhuzi, give me one!"

"I want one too!" Chen Li said anxiously.

Chen Jianjun took four first and sent them to the old man's room.

When I came back, I saw Zhou Qing crying.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Mom said it was delicious!" Chen Li said coquettishly.

Chen Hao was eating voraciously, his mouth was bloated and he was completely speechless. The remaining half of the bun in his hand was steaming.

Fortunately, it is late October now and the temperature drops quickly at night, otherwise I would not be able to eat the freshly-baked buns in full.

"Brother Jun, try this. It's even better than the crab roe soup dumplings you treated me to back then."

Zhou Qing took most of the bun and put it into Chen Jianjun's mouth.

Chen Jianjun took a light bite, and everyone in the room immediately felt sour.

Sha Zhu took two buns and said, "It's too late. I'll go back and eat."

He couldn't bear it any longer. He wanted to marry a wife right away and feed her good food every day.

Chen Jianguo looked at the meat buns and took out a lunch box and put five of them in it.

"Brother, you guys eat yourselves. I have a friend who also likes to eat it. I'll bring some to her."

After saying that, the two grown men left the house together.

Chen Feng didn't want to eat dog food either, so he picked up the three buns and went back to the house.

Chen Hao and Chen Li were reluctant to leave unless they were full.

The next morning, Sha Zhu came early.

He first heated up the meat buns from last night, then made the tofu fish. He wanted to give him three dollars for it, but Zhou Qing refused to accept it.

Then Zhou Qing rode his bicycle and took Chen Hao to Teacher Ran's house.

Chen Feng picked up half of the remaining buns.

"Grandpa, I'm going to grandpa's house."

The old man asked, "Are you going to ride your bike?"

"Yes, I ride my bike very fast, it will take at most seven or eight hours." Chen Feng replied.

The old man thought about Chen Feng’s previous speed of climbing the mountain and nodded.

This place is a bit far from Tanggu, but it really doesn’t take Chen Feng too long to ride there.

"If the car breaks down, rent a donkey or a horse carriage. Don't be stingy with money."

"Also, bring your gun. If you run into someone who doesn't have eyes, and you can't knock him down, just use your gun. If something goes wrong, I'll take the blame for you."

"Ok, I know."

Chen Feng glanced at the little girl and said, "There are fruits, canned food, and eggs in the cabinet next to my bed. Remember to give them to Lily."

"Okay, we're not senile yet."

The old man smiled and said, "An egg a day, she is indispensable."
