Chapter 85

"That's it. Caifeng, come and have a look. What did I bring you?"

In order to prevent Caifeng's father from breaking with him, Gu Zheng quickly changed the topic in the yard.

Seeing Gu Zheng waving at her, Caifeng was inexplicably excited: "brother Gu, did you bring me something?"

What is it?

Is it the brightest red head rope on the shelf of the salesmen in the streets? Or maltose for dessert?

Whatever it is, she likes it as long as it is given by brother Gu.

Unfortunately, such joy did not last for two seconds. Caifeng saw the true face of her gift.

"Brother Gu, this is what you brought for me?"

"Yes! I think you and your aunt will be partners in the dark at night. Even if you wash clothes, it needs a bright light, doesn't it?"

"Well, don't be too careful. This eye is a lifetime thing," said Gu Zheng sincerely, and handed over the kerosene lamp in his hand. With a small oil tank on one side, it was enough for Caifeng's family for two months.

These things that can be bought with a little copper are luxury in the eyes of the refugees who have left their hometown and started from scratch.

It belongs to the category of non necessities in their family.

Seeing such a gift, Caifeng's outstretched hand was stunned on the spot, while Caifeng's mother was too satisfied with the gift. She deliberately wiped some wet hands on her apron, thanked her and took the gift.

"Oh, how can this make? Thank you. I said Caifeng, what are you doing? Come and give me a hand and stew the rice. Let's have a good meal together in the evening."

"Oh, good." by her mother's reminding, Caifeng reacted. In Gu Zheng's confused eyes, she made a big red face, threw the braided braid behind her head and turned her head into the kitchen.

Looking at the young girl with infinite youth, Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled.

After he put everything in the back seat of the car into the house, he carefully took out the small cloth bag with money in his arms.

After removing the silver horn that was wronged out of the little fat man's hands today, Gu Zheng's work alone one day was as much as 12 copper dollars.

The remaining copper pile worth eleven copper dollars had been spent by him in the grocery store.

If you follow Gu Zheng's current law and want to save enough redemption money, you'll probably be in your 70s and 80s.

But Gu Zheng, who does tasks for others, is not in a hurry.

After saving his "huge sum of money", he closed the door and went back to the yard.

"Oh, by the way, Dashan, Dalin, come and see what this is?" Gu Zheng, who seemed to remember something, touched his pants pocket and took out two pieces of sugar that were about to be dried off from the innermost side.

That kind of white, cheap hard candy can buy two sweet mouths with only one copper. It is a rare luxury for Dashan and Dalin.

Some of them greedily held their fingers, and their bright saliva was about to flow from their mouth to their chin, but neither of them moved first, but looked at their father, Caifeng father, with eager little eyes.

"Brother Gu, since you gave it, then go on. Remember what to say?" father Caifeng looked at the two black little sons in front of him. His nose was a little sour. He nodded in the direction of his sons.

Seeing his father and giving them their consent, Dashan and Dalin rushed in the direction of Gu Zheng: "know Dad! Thank you!"

"Thank you, brother gu!!"

The children who took the candy bar laughed into curved crescent teeth. They got it one by one, and no one held it. Instead, they licked it carefully with the tip of their tongue to get familiar with the happy taste called sweet.

Seeing such a scene, Caifeng's father only left a sentence towards the kitchen: "call me after dinner." he went back to his simple shack without looking back.

If Gu Zheng with sharp eyes is right, the man with firm eyes has a rare red eye.

……

At night, the punctual guard never missed a guard.

In this most humble small courtyard, it also dispelled the summer heat of the day because of its arrival.

With the good moonlight for several days in a row, a big pot of reunion rice in the yard was set up by the clever Caifeng mother.

A few bricks and the long wooden boards left over from the renovation of the roof have become a simple dining table.

A bowl of stinky shrimp sauce and a dish of dried radish are essential dishes for dinner. They are no different from ordinary dishes.

But for the people in this circle, today is different.

When Caifeng, flushed by the heat, came out of the kitchen with several large bowls, not to mention the two little carrot heads, the eyes of Lao Cheng's prudent Caifeng father also lit up.

Because those big bowls contain delicious rice they haven't eaten for a long time. This alone is enough.

They don't need any dishes. They can swallow a big bowl full of sweetness from the northeast.

The feast was like a drama full of suspense. When the people sitting around thought it could end, they reached the final climax in the big bowl brought by Caifeng Niang who came out of the kitchen.

It was a bowl full of sharp stews, with the informal manners of northerners and local materials in shacks.

The cheap cabbage and vermicelli inside are also unreasonably attractive because of the thick brown color. The family who has not seen meat smell for a long time has also rarely added a few thin but greasy meat slices to this bowl of food.

The vegetarian balls slipped yesterday were also thrown in. The plump juice soaked its body for a few minutes. This pot of bustling stew was brought to the public in front of shouting about its delicious food.

There is no need to make arrangements or exchange greetings. This is not a family better than a family. When they get together, they start a silent dinner.

The only thing left on the table is the hearty pain of eating, and the jingling sound of chopsticks touching the edge of the bowl has become the most beautiful serenade of the night, urging people to sleep and protecting people's good dreams.

Gu Zheng, who was full of wine and food, entered his dream early because of fatigue. He smiled on the corner of his mouth on the single bed. He didn't know what interesting things he encountered in his dream.
