The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Chapter 73 Steelmaking
XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

The National Steelmaking Movement started. In order to catch up with the United Kingdom in 15 years, a wave of steelmaking has risen all over the country.The neighborhood committee under Zhengyangmen also has its own clay blast furnace, mobilizing everyone on the street to donate steel and contribute to the great steel smelting.

At this time, Chen Xueru already had a big fat boy left. Zhao Shucheng named him Zhao Suhu, and Xinzai was already two years old.But now Chen Xueru is pregnant again, but seeing Xu Huizhen who is also pregnant is busy driving a tractor to collect steel every day, she has to be strong.It is inconvenient to move by myself, so I sit directly in the silk shop and ask Qiu Guangguang to collect scrap steel.

Zhao Shucheng and Cai Quanwu were directly reduced to dads, staying at home with their children, and had to help them find ways to increase their contribution.

When other people saw this scene, they were very curious, especially the aunt of the neighborhood committee, who asked directly: "Huizhen, what's the situation with Xueru's family? It’s enough to live.”

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on with Chen Xueru's family, but in our family, Cai Quanbi can take care of the children, so I'm outside and he takes care of the children."

The aunt smiled and said: "Xueru's family should be the same. This Zhao Shucheng has directly become a full-time dad. How many years has it been? I almost stopped working in the silk shop and spent all day at home around the children. I don't understand what you are thinking."

"I don't know about it, but our family can't have no one to watch the children."

That's what the director said, and he called Aunt Hu directly, and said, "Go tell Chen Xueru, it's nothing more than three and a half catties, Xu Huizhen is at least five hundred catties more than her."

Aunt Hu agreed and left, Xu Huizhen hurriedly said: "Director, this is not just five hundred catties."

The aunt said directly: "If you talk too much, I'm afraid she won't dare to continue fighting."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "You are really good, let the two of us strangle to death."

The aunt smiled and said: "I see, if the two of you don't fight to the death, where will our neighborhood committee fight for the first place? We have to do this, and it's better to have one or two cars."

Chen Xueru sat on the sofa and kept looking at the collected steel.She was careful not to push her contribution too high all of a sudden.It's only three to five catties heavier than Xu Huizhen, and when she catches up, I'll take the things by myself.It's easy to catch up, not to mention, but still sit firmly on the number one throne.

The silk shop has changed a lot over the years. Liao Yucheng was dismissed directly because of his lifestyle and left the silk shop.Before, Mr. Pian’s life was difficult, so the neighborhood committee directly arranged to work in a silk shop.

Although the film master Qiu Puguang didn't know much about business, he knew that he only needed to check the accounts, and he could hand over the business to Chen Xueru. For the time being, the two of them got along fairly well.

Qiu Guangguang took his guys to look for scrap steel in the surrounding cities, but they all ran with their own legs, so they had to come back to unload after getting dozens of catties.

Lao Zhang looked at the broken steel on the ground and said, "The one on the ground weighs at least a hundred catties. In my opinion, it's enough for Xu Hui to chase for a while."

Chen Xueru said: "That's so boring. I have to make him miss my brother by three to five catties. If I don't dismantle their stove, he will definitely not be able to catch up with me."

Zhao Shucheng took Hou Kui and pushed the baby carriage to the silk shop, just in time to see Chen Xueru thinking about the first thing.

Aunt Hu came in directly and said, "Xueru, the director can let me tell you that Xu Hui really weighs five hundred catties more than you."

Chen Xueru asked curiously: "Are there that many of them?"

Aunt Hu said: "Xueru, don't be angry, the director means to let you work hard, do you understand?"

Chen Xueru said: "Understood, I will definitely catch up, just tell the director and let her rest assured."

When Aunt Hu left, Chen Xueru sat down directly, and said angrily, "Husband, you have to help me, I can't lose to Xu Huizhen."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the scrap steel on the ground and said, "Don't worry, the child is still there. Besides, you will definitely not be able to catch up with manpower search. You have to find another way, such as buying old iron with funds, etc. .”

"Oh, why don't you think I didn't think so." Chen Xueru suddenly realized.

"Wait, don't act in a hurry, there are still things to pay attention to. This is the acquisition. Although we can continue to do it, we can't use the money from the silk shop. It can only be our private property, so that no one will have anything. Other comments."

Chen Xueru said indifferently: "I thought it was something, no problem, our family can still afford it."

"Wait, don't go, one more point, don't you let the guys walk with hundreds of catties of steel, you have to find a car."

Chen Xueru thought for a while, and said, "Good husband, why don't you donate our family's tricycle, so it will be all right?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "No, a tricycle can't pull many catties, it must be a big car."

Chen Xueru: "You are not talking nonsense, if I can get a bicycle, do I need to worry?"

Chen Xueru thought for a while, she was a little worried, so she ran to the earth blast furnace and asked the director aunt how much more Xu Huizhen was than her.The director saw it, so he could only tell the truth.

Chen Xueru wanted to see where Xu Huizhen got so much scrap steel, so she went directly into the tavern and asked, "Xu Huizhen, tell me the truth, how much more do you have than me?"

Seeing her pregnant belly, Xu Huizhen could only say, "Did the director aunt tell you?"

Chen Xueru understood that the other party was making a wooden pannier, and said: "Tell me, tell me the truth, where did you get so much? If you tell me, I will ask Zhao Shucheng to make you a baby pannier, which is better than the one on your back. much better."

"That's what you said, I don't want a small backpack, I want a stroller, the one he pushes around and takes the baby around."

"It's okay, let's talk!"

Only then did Xu Huizhen say: "In all the alleys around the platform in Beijing, if you donate, you donate. It's better to sell it for some money."

Only then did Chen Xueru say with satisfaction: "Let's agree first, if you win, you can't be two catties more than me, and if I win, you can't be one and a half catties more than you."

"OK, no problem."

Chen Xueru said: "Okay, I'll ask Shu Cheng to bring the baby carriage later. I'm leaving."

Chen Xueru returned to the silk shop, and Qiu Guangguang was counting the data.

Chen Xueru asked: "Qiu Puguang, the tavern is [-] catties more than ours, do you know?"

Qiu Pupu said indifferently: "Look at what you said, can we compare with people's taverns? Hey guys, there are tractors. We can't compare with the ones we carry on our shoulders."

Chen Xueru said unhappily: "Let me just ask you, you are talking so much nonsense. Are the people in the capital so poor?"

Chen Xueru was about to find a car according to what Zhao Shucheng said, when Yi Lianna came to her to sell silk.

She grabbed Yi Lianna and said, "Don't worry about buying goods. The most important thing is to defeat Xu Huizhen. Yi Lianna, I can count on you. You have to find me a truck. I must beat Xu Huizhen."

"As long as I can beat Xu Huizhen, I can ask Suzhou merchants to make whatever kind of silk and satin you want."

Elena smiled and said, "Can you ask your husband to accompany me to Suzhou?"

Chen Xueru was not happy, if Zhao Shucheng left, she would not be able to take care of her two children and the one in her belly.

"Let him go? That's not okay, our family must starve to death."

When Zhao Shucheng heard this, he suddenly thought that just a few years after the big iron and steel smelting, three years of natural disasters happened, and no one had enough to eat.Although I don't have the ability to change the situation of Guo Jia as a whole, I still have to solve the problem when my family is full.

Of course, when it comes to food purchases, inspections are very strict now, and food stamps can only be purchased at grain stores.But Zhao Shucheng is not helpless, he found that there is no limit to the sweet potatoes now, so he can buy more.Dried sweet potatoes are dried by the sun, and when there is a lack of food in the future, this is a ready-made food.

Besides, my own yard is still very large. In order to survive, it is not impossible to grow some crops by myself, such as pumpkins, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.These can all be planted in the yard. Wait until this period of time in the past, and restore the courtyard to its original state.

Zhao Shucheng doesn't care what other people think of him, as long as he has something to eat and drink, he is no better than anything else.Of course, all of this has to be done in secret. Zhao Shucheng plans to put the sweet potato food in his portable space at that time, and only keep a small part at home, so that he can have an excuse and keep it for a longer period of time.

Chen Xueru didn't know that Zhao Shucheng was thinking of what would happen a few years later, and she was discussing with Yi Lianna about collecting scrap steel.

Qiu Guangpu thought of something, and said, "By the way, I forgot one important thing. The donation is due until twelve noon tomorrow."

Chen Xueru asked, "Why?"

"Tomorrow, the stove will be closed at [-] o'clock at noon. If there is any further delay, the pots and pans of every household will be donated, so there will be no way to eat."

Chen Xueru thought about something thoughtfully, Zhao Shucheng said directly: "Xueru, I think, let's put the donated things at [-]:[-], and it will take a few minutes for the director and the others to check the scale, and it will take a few minutes for Xu Huizhen and the others to receive the news." minutes so they don't have time to look for things."

"In order to prevent them from taking out their own iron pots, I think we can delay for a while, just 45:[-]."

Qiu Guangguang looked at Zhao Shucheng and Chen Xueru, and said: "Zhao Xiucai, I didn't think before that you scholars are really too bad, and you can do such things, but I think this is good, we can also get the first place." .”

Chen Xueru also felt that Zhao Shucheng's suggestion was very good, which also avoided vicious competition.It's a pity that she overestimated her popularity. In the evening, Xu Huizhen learned about Zhao Shucheng's suggestion from the tavern.

She discussed the countermeasures with Fan Jinyou and Cai Quanwu.In order to avoid accidents, they dismantled the stoves in their homes and took their things directly to the tractor.Just wait until tomorrow when Chen Xueru finishes the weigh-in, they will win overwhelmingly.

Chen Xueru still doesn't know, she drove around with Yi Lianna in the Forty-Nine City, and finally collected more steel than Xu Huizhen.
