Sixteen Dozen Chicken Blood

When Shen Jiaxing saw these two people, he did not avoid them, but went up to them.

"Are you coming back from grocery shopping?"

The two are the neighbors of the Shen family, that is, the Xu family who will be sent to the coal mine tomorrow. The Xu family's son's real name is Xu Guifu, and he is about the same age as Shen Jiaxing's eldest son.

The Xu family is from northern Jiangsu. They made their fortune by working as a tailor. They lived in Zhabei District in the early days. In order to get out of Zhabei District, they gritted their teeth and bought a bungalow in this alley. , the debt is over.

However, their living standards have never been improved, and their lives have been shrewd. Originally, according to their family background, they could not be classified into a type of transformation. peasants, but who let them have a bungalow, and there are two storefronts.

It really needs to be remodeled!

It is also ironic to say that at the time, the old father of the Xu family tried his best to escape from Zhabei District for his children and grandchildren, but now the Xu family must be eager to live in Zhabei District all the time!

The Xu family's husband and wife were startled by Shen Jiaxing's voice. When they realized they were neighbors, and they were also the neighbors who were sweeping the streets with them, their hearts calmed down immediately.

"Hello, Uncle Shen, take Jiaojiao to buy groceries?" The couple obviously didn't want to answer Shen Jiaxing's question and avoided talking about it.

"Yeah, there's no rice or oil at home, so go buy some back." Shen Jiaxing replied, he didn't care at all about what the two of them did.

In these years, watch less, listen less, talk less, do more, and live a peaceful life.

Shen Jiao looked curiously at the woman's basket on the opposite side. A vigorous rooster's head, a red crown, a bright yellow beak, and gorgeous feathers could be seen from the cloth, and her mind moved.

"Grandpa, let's buy a cock to eat too, I want to be a chicken feather key." Shen Jiao acted like a spoiled child, she hadn't kicked the key for a long time.

The faces of the Xu family's husband and wife changed greatly. The Xu family's daughter-in-law tugged up the cloth on the basket, trying to cover the cock, but the cock was too energetic, and it still got out after covering it, and the couple rushed towards Shen Jiaxing embarrassedly. smiled.

Shen Jiaxing frowned slightly. The Xu family has always lived a frugal life, and it was just a piece of tofu for the New Year and festivals. Why would he think about buying chickens today?

Besides, it's not a season, and there is no vegetable market that sells chicken in the whole sea market. Unless you go to the black market to buy it, the chicken there is a few bucks more expensive than the vegetable market. Are the Xu family willing?

Note: In the 1960s and 1970s, chickens, ducks and geese were not available every day. They were only available on big festivals (Spring Festival, National Day), according to the number of people in the family. The food court lined up for at least six or seven hours when it was time to wait, and it was freezing and stiff.

Seeing the guilty faces of the two couples, Shen Jiaxing moved in his heart and thought of a possibility.

"Aren't you going to beat this chicken for blood?"

The faces of the Xu family changed again. They looked around and saw that no one was relieved. Xu Guifu said in a low voice, "Second Uncle Shen, don't say anything. If those students find out, they will have to find trouble again."

Shen Jiaxing heaved a sigh of relief: "What's the trouble with them when they fight chicken blood? Don't everyone fight."

Xu Guifu smiled bitterly and said, "Can we be compared with others in our current status? It's better to have less than one more thing!"

Shen Jiaxing sighed and asked, "Why are you thinking about getting chicken blood for no reason? Are you not afraid of accidents? Didn't the government only issue a document two months ago to cancel this therapy?"

The wife of the Xu family interjected: "This chicken blood has been beaten by my old Xu before, and the effect is really good. I think I will go to the coal mine tomorrow, and I will give Lao Xu some chicken blood to make up for it. He is the backbone of our family. If he falls, , what can our family do!"

As she spoke, she choked up, lowered her head and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Xu Guifu was a little embarrassed, and said to Shen Jiaxing, "I'm leaving tomorrow,

In the future, the young and old will ask Uncle Shen to take care of you. I will remember your goodness for the rest of my life. "

Shen Jiaxing sighed: "If I can stay in the sea market, it would be nothing to take care of with the friendship between our two families, but I won't be able to stay in the sea market for a few days!"

Xu Guifu was surprised: "Where is Second Uncle Shen going?"

Shen Jiaxing said with a smile: "It's probably the frontier farm, that's what happened in the past few days, why don't you hurry up and buy some things to prepare!"

The Xu family looked at Shen Jiaxing's grandparents and grandsons sympathetically. At such an old age, they dragged a small child and ran to the farm for renovation. It was still the frontier where chickens don't poop and birds don't lay eggs. I heard that they don't even have access to water. place to drink.

Oh yo, the second uncle of the Shen family is too pitiful!

Thinking about it this way, the Xu family's worries have eased a lot in the past few days. Compared with the Shen family, they are much better. At least they only go to the coal mine. It belongs to the south, and I heard that it used to be a land of fish and rice!

People are always like this. If you meet another person who is more miserable than you in a miserable time, the despair and discouragement will be relieved a lot, and you will be full of confidence in life again.

After saying goodbye to the Xu family, Shen Jiaxing continued to hold Shen Jiao's hand and walked to the vegetable market. Shen Jiao asked curiously, "Grandpa, what do you call chicken blood?"

Just now she heard it in the mist, and it was really uncomfortable to hold back if she didn't ask.

Shen Jiaxing explained: "It's just to pump out the blood of Xiaogong Nan and beat it into people's bodies. This method is not advisable. Jiaojiao should not try it in the future."

He never believed in 'chicken blood therapy'. No matter how amazing the government was at that time, he never went to the hospital to get chicken blood. Sure enough, it was only popular for a year, and the government issued a document to ban this therapy. It's just that there are still many people who believe in this therapy and go to the health center secretly.

This is not the case with Xu Guifu and his wife!

Shen Jiao's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it: "How can chicken blood hit people? How can blood be mixed with people who are not my race?"

Shen Jiaxing smiled and praised: "Jiaojiao is right, isn't that the truth, my Jiaojiao understands life better than those people."

"Come on, let's go buy meat."

"Grandpa, I want to eat chicken. Let's buy roosters and make chicken feathers." Shen Jiao was obsessed with chicken feathers.

Shen Jiaxing explained: "Now is not the time to supply chickens, we can't buy chickens, or Jiaojiao will wait, and Grandpa Fifteen will go to Taiping Bridge early to buy a little rooster?"

Taiping Bridge is a black market supply point in the sea market. It can only be sold on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month. Today is only the sixth day of the lunar new year, so we have to wait for half a month!

Shen Jiao listened strangely: "Why do you have to wait for half a month to buy chicken? Can't you buy it in the vegetable market?"

"Chicken is not sold every day in the vegetable market, only twice a year, and meat is not available every day. One person only has one and a half pound of meat per month. We have a lot of meat. In some places, it is only one pound. If there is oil, one person only has half a catty of oil a month..."

Shen Jiaxing explained the current situation to his granddaughter, although he really wanted his granddaughter to be a young lady who cares about everything, but in such a situation, Jiaojiao must understand the hardships of life today!

Shen Jiao was even more confused: "Why is there only so much? Grandpa, aren't you rich?"

Shen Jiaxing took a lot of words to make Shen Jiao understand that what was going on now, even if it was a stitch, it had to be bought with a ticket, and it was too strict to buy too much.

Shen Jiao sighed, it seems that the current dynasty is even poorer than her previous life!

Fortunately, she has a treasure bowl, so don't be afraid!
