Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 476: With support, life becomes easier
Uncle Qin and the other five fell silent after hearing this, but in fact, in their hearts, they really had no food to eat and would starve to death if they joined.

Basically, few people care about Chu Xiangqian's future.

But after all, I still have a sense of shame. I know that if I do such an ungrateful thing, not only will I feel guilty for the rest of my life.

You will also be looked down upon for the rest of your life.

And to put it bluntly, if the three uncles and nephews of the Chu family, especially Chu Xiangqian, offended him, they would probably offend everyone in the entire forest farm and several nearby villages.

Besides, the so-called township party is an association of interests composed of relatives and friends.

In terms of cohesion, they are often stronger than relatives who have not been in contact with each other for a long time.

Chu Xiangqian also used one thing to make the head of the forest farm understand that he was the most important person in the forest farm and the one who spoke the most useful words.

In the old days, Chu Xiangqian could drive any family out of the forest farm with just one word.

All matters in the village, big and small, would basically not be done without his asking.

Moreover, the village has also reached the point where people will starve to death without food.

Since we are not in a desperate situation, everyone's sanity is still there.

Uncle Qin looked around and saw Accountant Jiang and the four others nodding helplessly, and then he said to Chu Qianqian, "Qianqian, it's not yet the point where people are starving to death.

We are not ungrateful people. We ask you to get food as a last resort.

But if something happens to you, to be honest, it won’t be a good thing for the village if you don’t have a good conscience. "

This was reasonable and reasonable. Chu Xiangqian then said with a smile, "Don't worry, you don't know me yet. If it can't be done, I won't dare to agree."

Then Chu Xiangqian began to shout, "You all know my hunting skills. When the weather gets cold, I go hunting on horseback in the mountains in the north. If I'm lucky, I can complete a month's mission in one trip.

I hide my prey in the mountains to the north. I usually go out for a ride on horseback and then bring back the prey. No one knows how much bean cakes my horses have consumed.

However, after all, it is rations for the army and horses. If someone goes around making noises, the superiors or the commune will know about it, and it is impossible not to investigate. "

After everyone heard this, they felt relieved.

But everyone is not a fool. From Chu Xiangqian's words, it can still be heard that he would rather walk by himself, but also save the rations for the horses and send them back to the forest farm to help the people in the same village.

When they thought of this, everyone immediately stood in awe.

But in fact, Chu Xiangqian purchased a total of 2520 tons of corn and 840 tons of bean cakes from the farms around the pasture last time.

Several hundred kilograms of bean cakes were nothing but a drop in the bucket for Chu Xiangqian.

After agreeing on 500 kilograms of bean cakes, Chu Xiangqian also received 150 yuan raised by the village.

Bean cakes cost 3 cents per pound, which is three times more expensive than stick noodles last year.

But now, grains are only at this price, and even if you have money, you can’t buy grains.

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't value the 150 yuan, but if he didn't accept the money, Uncle Qin and others would not be at ease.

Back at his second uncle's house, Chu Xiangqian told him about his marriage in four days.

The second uncle and the third uncle were stunned at first, and then they became pleasantly surprised.

The second uncle even shed tears. He stared at the hillside in the distance outside the door and murmured that his nephew was also getting married. If his eldest brother was still here, I don't know how happy he would be.

Chu Qianqian also sighed, admiring his biological father in this body.

It was agreed that the second uncle and the third uncle would go to the city one day in advance. Chu Xiangqian stayed at the forest farm until after 3 o'clock. The second uncle hurriedly asked him to go back early to avoid walking at night.

Chu nodded forward and rode his bicycle for an hour into the city. He wanted to go back to the courtyard, but by some strange mistake he didn't take the main road.

But from Maoer Hutong, passing through several alleys, you can also enter Nanluogu Alley.

When we arrived at the yard next to the Wenchang Emperor Temple, we suddenly saw a clothes-drying pole erected in the yard.

Titmouse immediately flew over and stood on the wall of the courtyard, seeing Qin Huairu sitting in a daze on a chair in the main room.

Chu Qianqian smiled and rode his bicycle into the alley of the small courtyard.

He reached out and pushed the door. Although he didn't push it open, he woke up Qin Huairu in the main room.

He walked out of the house quickly and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"I, open the door."

Hearing Chu Qianqian's voice, Qin Huai was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the door bolt. He saw Chu Qianqian pushing his bicycle and standing outside the door looking at him.

In an instant, Qin Huai was so happy from the bottom of his heart that his eyes turned red with excitement.

I thought to myself, you are such a heartless person. You have been gone for two months and you don’t even know how to send a letter back.

Even if you can't send it to yourself, at least send it to patriotism or love for the people, so that you can know whether your work is going well and whether your life is going well.

Qin Huairu was complaining in his heart, but he was very honest in his actions. He opened the door and let Chu Xiangqian enter the yard.

He immediately bolted the door, turned around and rushed to Chu Qianqian, hugging the man tightly from behind.

Feeling the strong muscles on Chu Qianqian's body and the familiar smell, Qin Huairu immediately felt at ease.

Chu Xiangqian could feel the attachment of the woman behind him to him.

He stood Chu forward, turned around, picked him up, and walked into the house.

Unexpectedly, this woman washed herself in advance. It seemed that she had been looking forward to coming to this yard since this morning.
-
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Qin Huairu hurriedly washed up and then walked into the house. Seeing Chu Qianqian still lying on the bed, his face turned red.

He secretly thought that he must have really exhausted his man just now.

Chu Qianqian just didn't want to get up, but Qin Huairu walked to the bedside, lay on Chu Qianqian's back, and whispered, "Qianqian, why don't you fall asleep first, and I'll come over to bring you something later. meal?"

Chu Qianqian didn't open his eyes, "Come on, I'm not short of food. If you bring me food, I don't know what your evil mother-in-law will think."

"No," Qin Huairu said with a smile, "You don't know, my mother-in-law doesn't have to use her salary to cover household expenses.

Now I have breakfast and lunch in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, and then go home to cook after get off work. This is my reward for hiring her to cook for my two children and me.

I also pay for all other household expenses, so now I have the final say in everything in the house. "

Chu Qianqian was stunned and secretly thought that Qin Huairu was really powerful.

It looks like Qin Huairu has suffered a big loss, but if you think about it carefully, with Jia Zhang's virtue, she would not have spent any money to raise her children if Qin Huairu had a job.

Not even for Qin Huairu.

Moreover, as a daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu, in the eyes of outsiders, is responsible for supporting the family and her mother-in-law.

Now, to put it another way, the food that was supposed to feed Jia and Zhang became the reward for hiring her to cook and take care of the children.

It immediately became a master-slave relationship.

And once this matter spreads outside, custody can bring Jia and Zhang to death immediately.

"Then your mother-in-law eats all her monthly rations by herself?"

Qin Huairu sighed and nodded, "My mother-in-law is really not a good person. She would rather eat all her monthly food stamps in the canteen than give some food to the two children."

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian showed a disgusted expression.

Seeing that Qin Huairu had a formal job, Jia Zhang's two children also got urban household registration and food quotas from his mother. They immediately fed themselves and had to eat the food provided by Qin Huairu at night. "Then where do you get so much food to feed your family?"

Qin Huairu said with some pride in her heart, "Last time I bought calligraphy and painting for 5 cents at the second-hand goods collection station, didn't you give me 60 yuan to buy it away?
Now that you have given me the full answer, I feel confident.

There is no need to rather go hungry than spend money selling food at the pigeon market.

Last month, I spent 15 yuan to secretly buy 22 kilograms of stick noodles, which together with the regular food for me and my two children, at least I won’t go hungry.

Occasionally, when the two children are too greedy, they can buy some meat or buy some fish from the angler. "

Chu nodded forward, "Okay, if you are not in a hurry to go back, show me what you have collected in the past two months."

Qin Huairu picked up Chu Qianqian's watch on the bed and looked at it. It was already 6:[-] pm.

He hurriedly said to Chu Qianqian, "I'll go back first to prevent my mother-in-law from thinking too much. I'll put all the things in the cabinet, and you can check it out yourself.

As for how much it's worth, just give it as you see.By the way, if you don't want to move, then I'll come over later and cook for you.

I've been keeping some flour in the yard to make pancakes for you later. "

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian turned his head, opened his eyes and looked at Qin Huairu, "Aren't you afraid that I will give you less on purpose?"

Qin Huairu gave him a blank look and said, "What can I do even if I know it? It's not just how much you say."

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but give Qin Huairu a thumbs up, "For the sake of being a director like you, I won't make any money from you."

Qin Huairu rolled his eyes at Chu Qianqian, but showed no sign of anger.

Qin Huairu knew very well that even if the item could be sold for 100 yuan, she would not be able to find a buyer.

Even if you find someone willing to collect the antiques, the price will definitely be lowered.

On the contrary, Chu Qianqian saw that for the sake of following him and serving him well, the offer would be higher.

Lowering his head and kissing Chu Qianqian's lips, Qin Huairu hurried back to the courtyard.

Chu Qianqian lay there for another ten minutes before getting up out of curiosity to see if Qin Huairu had received any real antiques in the past two months.

Are there any good items among the antiques I received?

Half an hour later, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but nodded secretly after reading all the more than twenty pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings in the cabinet.

It seems that ordinary people do have a lot of interesting things in their homes these days.

Think about it, there were reports in previous lives that millions of antiques may have been destroyed during this special decade.

In the capital of three dynasties like Beijing, the people had access to more antiques.

Maybe the painting hanging on the wall in the central hall at home is the painting of a famous person from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The porcelain vase placed as a decoration in the central hall is also from an official kiln 200 years ago.

Among the fourteen pieces of porcelain and nine calligraphy and paintings, seven are antiques from the Ming Dynasty and the middle and early Qing Dynasties.The rest are all from the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty.

He gave Chu Xiangqian a full 270 gold coupons. Even if he cut them in half, Qin Huairu could actually earn 135 yuan in two months by relying on the convenience of the second-hand goods collection station.

This was her salary for several months.

No wonder this woman is willing to go to the pigeon market and buy stick noodles at a high price.

Chu Qianqian thought for a moment and simply gave Qin Huairu 50 yuan, plus more than 2000 tons of corn kernels bought from more than a dozen farms in California.

I took out 100 kilograms and crushed them into stick noodles and put them in the kitchen of the yard.

It is equal to 100 yuan for 85 kilograms of stick noodles.

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and finally left another 30 kilograms of flour.

With these grains, plus the fixed grains that he already had, it would be enough for Qin Huairu to last for three to five months.

And Chu Xiangqian himself was not at a loss.

A little after 7:[-] in the evening, I went home and ate a bowl of millet porridge. Qin Huairu, who was a poor man, hurried back to Maoer Hutong.

While it was getting dark, I returned to the courtyard away from people's sight.

Seeing Chu Qianqian sitting in the main room eating, Qin Huairu's face tightened and he hurriedly walked in, "I said I would come back to cook for you in a while, why did you do it yourself?"

But just as he finished speaking, he saw sesame sesame pancakes and a plate of soy sauce beef on the table.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but give Chu Qianqian a rolling look, and secretly thought that he shouldn't worry that this heartless person would be hungry or not eat well.

Chu Qianqian pointed to the kitchen, "I asked someone to bring 30 kilograms of stick noodles and [-] kilograms of flour."

When Qin Huairu heard this, he immediately became excited.

He turned around and ran to the kitchen. Once he confirmed that there was really so much food in the kitchen, his worries about the future disappeared instantly.

Originally, Chu Xiangqian just had money, and he was worried that like many people, he would be unlucky and would not be able to buy food even if he squatted in the pigeon market.

Unexpectedly, this guy got 100 kilograms of stick noodles and 30 kilograms of flour in just over an hour.

In other words, as long as he is willing, he will definitely get more food.

But although Qin Huairu really didn't make any guesses, he didn't intend to help others, let alone ask Chu Qianqian to help others.

Returning to the main room, as soon as he sat down, he saw Chu pointing forward to the table with half a plate of sauced beef left and saying, "If you want to eat, take your own bowl and chopsticks.

Also, in addition to the food I’ll give you, I’ll give you another 50 yuan.

As for the 23 pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, 7 were taken away.The rest are from the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty.

If you keep it for yourself and keep it for 30 to [-] years, it should be worth a lot of money. "

Qin Huairu shook his head, "I'll keep it for decades, why not sell it for money and buy a few more to try my luck.

Maybe I'll find something that can truly be a family heirloom. "

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at the woman, trying to say that she was daydreaming, but luck was indeed hard to say.

Maybe she will find a treasure.

Moreover, there is really no shortage of gadgets from the Ming and Qing Dynasties these days. There is really no need to focus on things from the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty.

However, when a storm comes, many ordinary families will get into trouble just because they have antique calligraphy and paintings hidden in their homes.

"In recent years, you should not hide antiques at home. They are valuable things after all. If people find out about them, they will keep an eye on you all the time.

It's better to change it into money, which can be easily hidden, and when you encounter difficulties, you don't have to find someone to collect it like an antique.

No matter what happens, replacing it with gold bars is safer than antique calligraphy and painting. "

Qin Huairu was stunned, but one advantage she had was that she always listened to her man's words.

Not to mention that in her heart, Chu Xiangqian was better than all the men she knew.

He nodded hurriedly, "Then I will listen to you. When I have enough money, I will exchange it for gold bars."
