More than ten days later, Jiang Che went to the hospital for a review. The doctor said that he was recovering well. The occasional dizziness in his head should be due to blood stasis that has not been metabolized. After removing the splint on his thigh, it did not affect his daily life.

Jiang Che, who had taken off the splint, was like Monkey Sun emerging from under the Five Elements Mountain, so cheerful.

Jiang Che strolled around on foot to the Human Resources Department of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, handed in the doctor's orders, and his medical leave was successfully extended for four months. Seeing that it was already past noon and getting too early, he stopped walking around. He sat down.

I got on the bus, paid for the bus ticket, and wandered towards Chaoyang Vegetable Market.

Compared with the row upon row of high-rise buildings and the glamorous urban beauties of later generations, BJ in 1965 was really nothing to see. Pedestrians on both sides of the road were basically walking. Occasionally, a young man riding a bicycle passed by. Just take a look.

That arrogant look. Hey! It's so irritating. I want to go up and slap him in the mouth. Those young men who drive sports cars in later generations don't have that arrogance.

In fact, you can't blame people for being arrogant. Bicycles in the 1960s were very expensive. If you want to buy a bicycle, you not only need money but also a bicycle ticket. Don't worry after buying it. There is also a bicycle license and a mysterious bicycle driver's license waiting for you.<

/p>

Pedestrians coming and going on the road are basically wearing the same standard clothes, almost all blue, green, gray and black and white, regardless of gender, old or young. Even if it is summer, they still look like this, giving Jiang Che the feeling

It's like looking at North Korea in 2022, dull and boring.

Occasionally, there are one or two young girls who are more fashionably dressed. At most, they wear a white top and a brighter knee-length skirt. There is not so much makeup on their faces, and the most they wear is clam oil for skin care.

The tall nose bridge and duck-egg-like chin are all original.

Just when Jiang Che was wandering around, the conductor reminded the bus that it had arrived at Chaoyang Vegetable Market.

I walked around and had good luck. I bought a big snakehead fish weighing more than 7 kilograms, and a big rooster weighing more than 3 kilograms but less than 4 kilograms. I could hardly carry the other bits and pieces with my two hands. I bought a lot of things.

Money was not wasted either. Black fish was 0.37 yuan per catty, and big rooster was 1 yuan per catty. The total cost was 11.73 yuan. I also spent a lot of money on meat and vegetable tickets.

"Shuanzi, I have bought so many good things this year. We are going to have visitors at home."

"You don't have any elders in your family. When your third uncle gets off work later, I'll ask him and your elder brother Yan Jiecheng to help you take care of your guests."

As expected of having lived with Yan Fugui for so many years, the third aunt also wanted to take advantage of her.

"Shuanzi, people from my hometown don't need to buy such old things. It's more than half of your salary."

"You three brothers and sisters, you have to save money on everything and think about spending money. Don't be so lavish anymore."

"When it's time to cook, you say hello to aunt, and I'll help you and save you a lot of work." The aunt who was chatting with the third aunt saw Jiang Che carrying large and small bags with his arms full.

, hurriedly got up and went to help.

The aunt is really kind-hearted, and she did not forget to teach Jiang Che how to live a good life during this short journey.

"Third aunt, just rest. I bought these to entertain the aunt, Zhu Zhuge and Xiao'e who took care of our three little brothers when I was sick."

"I don't dare bother the third uncle to come and accompany the guests. Our family can't afford to entertain such an expensive guest as the third uncle."

When Jiang Che heard the third aunt's tone of voice that she wanted all six members of her family to come and eat at the rich family if she didn't take enough advantage, Jiang Che didn't get used to it and said back with a thorn in her words.

It’s no wonder that Jiang Che’s words were harsh. If he hadn’t refused straight away, he would have waited for the third uncle to come over after work and designated him with a bottle of Sanbai mixed with water.

The third uncle is now about 50 years old. He has worked for nearly 30 years and still has a high school degree. If the grade is basically not lower than a 6th or 7th grade primary school teacher, the salary should be 41.5/47 yuan. In addition, in 1960, the country gave middle schools

The salary of primary school teachers has been increased by 25%, which means that the salary of the third uncle in 65 years has reached 58.5 yuan, that is, he is a fourth-level primary school teacher.

The third uncle’s family has a bicycle and a radio. Yan Jiecheng’s monthly salary of 32.5 yuan has to be paid 27 yuan to the family. Adding in the third uncle’s salary, the Yan family has an income of 85 yuan a month. This was at that time

The capital of Beijing is considered a high-income family.

With such a high income, people are still so picky. I don’t know if it’s because of the tutoring passed down from their parents, or because the third uncle is Pixiu and just wants to get in but not get out.

"Auntie, you have wronged me."

"I'm about to recover, so I just bought some food and let's have some fun together tonight."

"It's time to celebrate my new life. I don't need you to be too busy. You can just sit at my house and wait for food in peace."

As soon as he finished stabbing the third aunt, Jiang Che turned around and started talking and laughing with the first aunt. Ignoring the stern old face of the third aunt, he went back to the house with the first aunt with a smile.

"Bah! It's not a thing."

"I mean well, but you still use it as a donkey's liver and lungs."

"I really don't think anyone needs food like yours."

After being bored, the third aunt lost her leisure, picked up the small stool and went back to the house muttering.

While Jiang Che was busy doing his homework, brother and sister Jiang Bo and Jiang Lingling returned home together.

"Brother, what day is it today? I have to buy so many vegetables."

"It's not like the matchmaker is here to help you matchmaking, right?" Jiang Lingling leaned on Jiang Che's shoulder and laughed.

"Go to the room and do your homework quickly. Don't stay here with me." Jiang Che raised his shoulders and pushed Jiang Lingling's head away.

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were all gone from school, Jiang Che sped up his actions. Every household in the yard also started cooking.

Just when Jiang Che was about to start cooking fish, He Yuzhu walked in again carrying his iconic lunch box.

"Hey, Shuanzi. We have guests tonight. The food is so rich. Chicken, fish, meat and eggs are all available."

"Would you like me to cook for you so that you don't waste such a good thing?" He Yuzhu walked to the stove and looked at the chicken, fish, meat and eggs, not to mention that they were all good things.

"Brother Zhuzi is off work, just wait."

"Brother, let me show you my skills tonight. There are no guests here. It's your house, the house of the first uncle, sister Xiao'e and the three of us brothers and sisters." Jiang Che skillfully added peppercorns, ginger slices, and garlic cloves into the hot oil.

.

"Hey! Shuanzi, how do you cook this fish? There are so many chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, it must be Sichuan cuisine, but I have been cooking Sichuan cuisine for more than ten years and I can't remember which one requires sauerkraut." He Yuzhu looked surprised.

I couldn't help but ask.

"You go ahead and sit in the room, and we will drink wine and chat slowly later." Jiang Che was also evil. Seeing He Yuzhu's worried look, he deliberately acted evil and did not tell him.

"Come on, if you have something to eat tonight, I will deliver the lunch box to the old lady." Out of sight, out of mind.

When He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard after school, he saw that most of the dishes cooked by Jiang Che had never been seen before. When he asked his brother He Yuzhu, he repeatedly said that it was strange that he had never seen it before, and was laughed at by He Yuzhu.

Not long after, Jiang Che had cooked a table full of dishes.

After the dishes were ready, Jiang Che sent Jiang Bo to invite the eldest uncle and aunt, and asked his sister Jiang Linling to invite Lou Xiao'e. However, they all said that they could not help much and refused to come.

There was no other way, so Jiang Che folded some of each dish and sent them to both families.
