Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 15 Box
After coming out of Wu Honggang's office, Zhou Weimin first went back to the Purchasing Department to report the good news to Guo Xiangming, and then went to the accounting department to withdraw the money needed to purchase materials.

Then he rode his bicycle, left the steel mill and went to the communes around the old city to purchase goods.

It was not until evening that he returned to the courtyard empty-handed.

In the afternoon he went to Fengshui Commune and received more than fifty eggs and two native chickens, one male and one female.

Of course, these things are now in the space, and he doesn't plan to hand them over so early.

"Brother, you're back. Wash your face quickly, and we'll be ready to eat soon."

As soon as he pushed the cart into the yard, a clear and crisp sound reached his ears.

"Wei Hong, why are you back? Where is your second brother?"

Zhou Weimin parked his bicycle at the door and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his sister's forehead.

Judging from the sweat on her forehead, she must have been busy since she came back.

"Brother! You've been living a confused life. Today is Saturday and there is no school tomorrow. I don't know what my second brother is doing in the house. He said he wants to give you a surprise."

Zhou Weihong said something coquettishly and pushed Zhou Weimin into the house.

She is still frying the vegetables, and soon the vegetables will get burnt.

"Really? I forgot! What are we eating today?"

Zhou Weimin looked at the clean house and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Shredded potatoes, fried cabbage, steamed bread!"

Zhou Weihong didn't think twice and directly ordered the three things.

"Wow, Wei Hong, your cooking skills have really improved. The shredded potatoes taste like potatoes stewed with meat. My brother-in-law will be blessed in the future."

Zhou Weimin sniffed the big bowl on top of the plate and made a joke.

"elder brother!!!"

"Okay, okay, our Wei Hong will not marry. I will support you for the rest of your life."

Just as the brother and sister were chatting and laughing, Guard Zhou walked out of the room holding a box, looking a little nervous.

"Wei Hong, is big brother back?"

"Inside the house. We'll be having dinner soon, brother, go wash your hands."

"No hurry, Wei Hong, wait a moment, my brother and I are going to the inner room to talk about something."

Guard Zhou adjusted his glasses with difficulty as he spoke, but he did not stop and walked into the inner room without waiting for his sister to answer.

"Stinky second brother, you always hide things from me!"

Zhou Weihong complained softly and served the dish with great skill.

Since she and her second brother both lived in the school dormitory, the family only had a few meals together in a month, and she would not really cook potatoes and cabbage.

These days, most families receive subsidies for their children to go to technical secondary schools or universities. Scholarships are divided into four levels based on family income and population, and money and food coupons are distributed every month.

Last year, his family was still a three-income family, so it was not included in the scope of scholarship distribution.

But this year Zhou Weimin was the only one left in the family, and since he had not yet been converted to a regular employee, he was naturally included in the scope of the scholarship.

Their family's average salary is more than ten yuan but less than twenty yuan. The school awards a Class C scholarship, which allows them to receive ten and a half yuan a month for living expenses, as well as meal tickets issued by the school on a daily basis.

In addition to living expenses, she can save about five dollars every month.

However, she basically used this money to buy food for the family to eat together, so in the end she could only save a few cents out of the five dollars.

It can be said that the meal was all her love, which was why she was dissatisfied and pulled her eldest brother to talk when her second brother was about to eat.

"Weihong, next time you come back I'll prepare a surprise for you, so don't blame your second brother." Zhou Weimin saw his sister muttering to herself, so he smiled and comforted her.

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore. You don't need to use this to cheer me up. I'm just going to lose my temper for a while, so leave me alone and go find my second brother."

Zhou Weihong put the dishes on the table, turned around and closed the door.

She was just complaining, she couldn't be really angry.

Zhou Weimin smiled, did not continue to say comforting words, and went into the inner room.

"Brother, bite the towel first, then open the box and take a look."

When Guard Zhou saw his elder brother coming in, he handed him the towel he had prepared long ago, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Zhou Weimin took the towel and frowned, saying, "Guard, tell me honestly, did you get into trouble outside?"

"No, brother, what are you thinking? This is a good thing. Just listen to me and open it and you will know."

Guard Zhou said with a smile that the things in here were bought by him, so probably, it shouldn't be considered a crime.

"You're talking nonsense, and you're keeping me in suspense."

Zhou Weimin muttered something, but still chose to believe his brother and stuffed his mouth with a towel.

Then he carefully opened the wooden box on the bed bit by bit.

The next second, his pupils shrank, his hands shook unconsciously, and then he quickly closed the box.

Oh my god, what the hell is this brother of mine?
Damn, the thing in this box is actually a turtle box!

Guard Zhou came up to the eldest brother and whispered in his ear, "Fifteen yuan for a box of bastards and thirty rounds of ammunition. I bought it in a dark alley in Gulou. I don't like it if I don't see its face."

"Wuwu...bah."

Zhou Weimin rolled his eyes and wanted to speak but forgot that there was a towel stuffed in his mouth.

But the towel was stuffed in the right place, otherwise he would have definitely shouted out just now.

"You are a fool! How dare you buy this?"

Zhou Weimin lowered his voice and stared at his brother.

Everyone goes to the black market in Gulou, but few people go into the dark alleys. If you are not careful, you might be hit by a club. If you are unlucky, you might even bump into a red armband. If you are caught, your life will be ruined.

He really didn't expect that his younger brother would be so bold that he actually dared to buy this thing on the black market. He was really risking his life.

"Brother, just this once, you should keep this guy and keep him safe. I heard that buyers from several factories have had accidents. If something happens to you, what will Wei Hong and I do?"

Guard Zhou gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

There are only three of them in his family. If something happens to his eldest brother again, he doesn't know if he will go crazy!
"..."

Zhou Weimin didn't say anything. He just stared at Zhou Weibing. After a long while, he sighed and said sternly, "This is the last time. If you dare to go to the black market again, I will break your legs!"

"Okay, there will definitely not be a next time!"

Guard Zhou nodded vigorously, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

When he put on his glasses again, his usual smile was on his face, and he looked exceptionally calm and composed.

"Go out, Wei Hong must be getting impatient."

Zhou Weimin rubbed his face, a gentle smile returned to his face, and his tone became relaxed.
