"...Mom, you..." Ji Congzhe jumped up on the bed with a dark face. He was about to curse, but suddenly his eyes rolled. What the little bastard said was a solution, but...

Lin Zhen opened a pair of clear eyes and asked, "Is it difficult?"

Ji Congzhe shook his head, "It's a bit confusing."

"Your family shouldn't pay attention to you."

Ji Congzhe was surprised, "How did you tell?"

Lin Zhen slowly said He twitched the corner of his mouth with a slightly disgusted expression,

"You don't even have a dowry."

"!!!" Ji Congzhe gritted his teeth.

Lin Zhen shut her mouth and stopped talking, looking at him for advice.

The Ji family received a gift of two hundred yuan from the Lin family. Two hundred yuan was considered a lot of money in this era. After all, Ji Congzhe was also the biological son of that family. It wouldn't be too much to borrow a few hundred yuan in the past. .

"Okay, as you said, we'll go there tomorrow."

At this moment, there was finally a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

There is still a little rice in the barrel. Lin Zhen estimated that it can last for three meals. I ate one meal at noon today. I originally planned to save it for the day after tomorrow, but since I decided to borrow money, I will worry about tomorrow and wait until tomorrow. With a sad thought, I simply cooked porridge for dinner and ate the remaining pickles from lunch until I was half full.

"Don't tell me that you survived by drinking rice soup this week?"

Ji Congzhe asked him while lying on the bed. "I don't see that you can endure hardships. You do your small work well."

Lin Zhen replied to him. The white eyes represent the depression in his heart during this period of time.

"How much money do you think we need to turn over?"

Lin Zhen thought for a moment. "According to current prices, one dollar can buy three kilograms of rice. How come we need dozens of kilograms of rice to survive the winter? The lard for cooking has also bottomed out. I need to buy some fat meat to cook in oil."

There was a window next to the bed, and he looked at it again. "The glass is cracked, and there will be air leakage when it gets colder."

Ji Congzhe followed his gaze to the roof.

"It rained last week and the roof will leak. I have to buy some tiles to fix it."

Lin Zhen said that he hadn't thought of anything else yet, but what he just said was enough to make Ji Congzhe feel cold, but he was even more surprised that Lin Zhen What he said was clear and logical.

Ji Congzhe raised his eyebrows and teased, "You even know how to use lard for cooking. You have only been here for more than a week and you have so much experience in life?"

"If you came here and you were the only one in the family, you would also know."

Logically speaking, this is a It was a sad thing, but Ji Congzhe couldn't help but be amused by his sad and helpless look.

"I have to borrow fifty yuan anyway." Lin Zhen added at the end, "A conservative estimate." Ji Congzhe

felt that just from his experience of living with the Ji family for a week, let alone fifty yuan, I'm afraid five yuan would be enough. Enough.

The Gaoshan Village they were in was six or seven kilometers away from Ji's Xiaohe Village. Although there was no traffic now, there were still roads in Huangni. The road back to Xiaohe Village was not complicated. Ji Congzhe remembered it after walking there once. It's just a waste of legs.
