Back home, Zhou's father and mother, as well as the second sister, Zhou Xiaomei, and Chen's sisters all gathered around, asking about the situation with concern.
Zhou Xiulan was a little shy, but she still nodded and said in a low voice: "I think Zheng Ming is pretty good."
"Haha, it's more than good. I think the eldest sister is very satisfied. ." Zhou Ziwen joked with a smile.
Zhou Xiulan became even more shy after Zhou Ziwen said that, and patted him gently: "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Zhou's mother smiled and said: "As long as Xiulan is satisfied, that's fine. If you are a good person and work hard, you will be fine in the future.”
Dad Zhou also nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Xiulan, since you think he is good, then get along well with him and get to know him better."
"Well, I know, Dad. Zhou Xiulan replied softly, with a hint of expectation for the future on her face.
Second sister Zhou Yaqin came over and asked curiously: "Sister, what does Zheng Ming look like? Is he funny?"
Zhou Xiulan smiled and shook her head: "He looks quite ordinary. Yes, but he is very honest and careful."
"Oh, eldest sister likes careful men!" Zhou Yaqin joked.
Zhou Xiulan's face turned redder, and she pushed her second sister gently: "Don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Xiaomei also said excitedly: "Sister, you have to seize the opportunity and try to bring a brother-in-law back as soon as possible. Home."
"Go, go, what do children know?" Zhou Xiulan chuckled and patted Zhou Xiaomei on the head.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were also smiling on the sidelines. They were both happy for Zhou Xiulan.
Zhou Ziwen felt very warm in his heart when he saw the harmonious appearance of his family.
He knows that the happiness of his family is his greatest happiness.
"Okay, everyone, stop teasing Xiulan and let her think about it by herself." Zhou's mother smiled and stopped everyone's teasing.
"Yes, eldest sister, your own feelings are the most important." Zhou Ziwen also said seriously.
"I know, thank you." Zhou Xiulan looked at her family gratefully, knowing that no matter what the outcome, her family would support her.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen returned to his room and did not rest immediately.
He planned to go shopping in the black market later.
As a native of Sijiu City, he certainly knows where the black market is here.
In about ten days, his daughter will be born, and he is going to go to the black market to get some good things and come back.
Things like milk, eggs, and brown sugar can all be bought on the black market, and the quality is pretty good.
Although the price of buying things on the black market will be more expensive than outside, Zhou Ziwen doesn't care about the money for the sake of his soon-to-be-born daughter.
He wanted to give Chen Qiaoyi and his daughter the best, so that both mother and daughter could get adequate nutrition.
When night fell, Zhou Ziwen said hello to his family and went out.
He wore a black cotton-padded jacket and hat, wrapping himself tightly so that he would not be easily recognized on the black market.
The location of the black market is relatively hidden, and most people can't really find it, but Zhou Ziwen heard it from a friend before, so he knew the specific location.
He walked through several alleys and came to a seemingly ordinary courtyard.
This is the entrance to the black market. There are several strong men guarding the door. They are all gatekeepers of the black market.
He paid a dime at the door and was let in.
Walking into the black market, there is a spacious yard filled with various stalls selling everything.
They have several small black markets like this here. Today Zhou Ziwen just came over to check on the situation and see if he could buy milk. If not, he would have to check out several other black markets.
He first walked around the black market to get a general idea of the situation.
There are indeed a lot of things in the black market, including food, clothing, and everything you need.
Zhou Ziwen stopped in front of a stall, which was filled with various foods, including rice, flour, eggs, meat, and the milk he needed.
Milk in this era is a good thing and is rarely available.
“Comrade, how do you sell this milk?” Zhou Ziwen asked, pointing to the milk can on the stall.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man. He glanced at Zhou Ziwen and then replied: "A can of milk costs three yuan, no bargaining."
Zhou Ziwen knew that the price of buying things on the black market would be higher. , but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, but thinking that it was for Chen Qiaoyi and his soon-to-be-born daughter, he didn't say much and said directly: "Give me ten cans."
"Okay, you Get it." The stall owner quickly packed the milk for Zhou Ziwen.
Zhou Ziwen paid and bought some eggs, brown sugar and other nutritional supplements that might be useful at other stalls.
He came to the black market this time mainly to prepare things for Chen Qiaoyi and his soon-to-be-born daughter, so he had no intention of saving money.
After shopping, Zhou Ziwen returned home carrying large and small bags.
He put the things away, then went to the kitchen to boil some hot water, preparing to heat a glass of milk for Chen Qiaoyi.
Chen Qiaoyi is pregnant now and needs more nutrition. Milk is a good nutritional product.
He heated the milk and brought it to Chen Qiaoyi: "Yiyi, come, drink some milk."
"Wow, Brother Ziwen, did you get the milk?" Chen Qiaoyi asked in surprise.
"Yes, I went to the black market to buy it. You are pregnant now, so you need to supplement your nutrition." Zhou Ziwen said softly.
Chen Qiaoyi took the milk and took a sip, with a happy smile on his face: "It tastes great, thank you, Brother Ziwen."
Zhou Ziwen looked at Chen Qiaoyi's smile , and his heart was filled with happiness: "As long as you like it, I will buy it for you often in the future."
Chen Qiaoyi nodded: "Brother Ziwen, you are so kind to me."< br>
Zhou Ziwen gently stroked Chen Qiaoyi's hair: "You are my wife, I won't be nice to you."
At this time, Chen Shiying walked in and saw Chen Qiaoyi drinking milk. She smiled and said, "Yiyi, you are so happy. Brother Ziwen is so good to you."
Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile. : "Sister, Brother Ziwen is very good to us."
Chen Shiying nodded: "Yes, Ziwen is a good man."
Zhou Ziwen smiled: " You are all my family, of course I want to treat you well."
Chen Shiying walked to Zhou Ziwen and said softly: "Ziwen, don't work too hard, you should pay attention to your health."< br>
Zhou Ziwen smiled and waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'm in good health. But you, please pay more attention."
With his physical condition, it will be fine even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights. It won't happen at all. Feeling tired.
However, he felt that he could visit the black market often and maybe encounter some good things.
Especially some more sensitive books, such as Taoist books and Buddhist scriptures.
Zhou Ziwen thought to himself that he should pay more attention to these books next time he goes to the black market.
Although Zhou Chaoyang helped him find some Taoist books and Buddhist scriptures last time, he felt that it was not enough. He wanted to study these knowledge more deeply. (End of this chapter)
