The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 34 Calculation
After a few gossips, Li Aiguo was about to go back to the house.

Jia Zhang, Da Ma and a group of old women from the yard came in from outside.

"The food supply is getting tighter and tighter now. If you want to buy some refined white noodles, you probably have to go early tomorrow."

"What beautiful things do you want? Refined white noodles? I heard from my cousin who works as a porter at the grain station that the grain station has not sold refined white noodles for nearly half a year."

"Then what should I do? My third baby will be born next month, and the biggest wish of my baby is to eat steamed buns made of white flour."

The supply of materials in this era has begun to be tight, and there is no white flour for sale in the pigeon market.

Some families in the courtyard can't even afford stick noodles.

Jiazhang's family only eats refined white noodles on weekdays, but when he thinks of black corn buns, his mouth becomes sour.

Looking up at the bag of flour on Li Aiguo's shoulder, she felt it was particularly glaring.

"Now some people eat Fuqiang fans every day, and they don't know how to help the needy households in the yard. They have no conscience at all."

Li Aiguo turned his head and said goodbye to the third mother, and walked to the backyard, ignoring Jia Zhang at all.

Jia Zhang hit the cotton with a fist, and had nowhere to vent, feeling uncomfortable.

back home.

Looking at the empty bag in Jia Zhang's hand, Qin Huairu smiled cryptically: "Mother, didn't you buy fine flour?"

"Don't mention it, I'm going to piss me off!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat on a chair, holding up the enamel jar, and paused.

Wiping the corner of her mouth, her triangular eyes slanted: "The grain station doesn't have refined flour at all."

"I also inquired for you, and you can't buy pigeons in the market."

Qin Huairu jumped with joy in her heart.

Stick noodles cost 2 cents per catty, and refined white noodles cost [-] cents per catty, which is five times the price difference.

The Jia family now lives on Jia Dongxu's little salary.

Jiazhang insisted on eating refined white noodles. Isn't this a crime?

Qin Huairu's thoughts could not be hidden from Jia Zhang's eyes.

Jia Zhang raised her head angrily, wanting to scold Qin Huairu severely.

Suddenly his eyeballs rolled and he thought of something.

With a warm smile on her face, she waved to Qin Huairu: "Daughter-in-law, I know you are the most filial, and there must be a way."

Qin Huairu shivered, and forced a smile:
"Mother, I'm a rural girl, what can I do, when Shazhu was here, Shazhu had a lot of connections, we can ask Shazhu to help us buy some white noodles.

"Silly Zhu is still staying in the police station.

"Why don't you wait a few more days, and Silly Zhu will come out after a few days."

Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes: "Let Sha Zhu buy fine white noodles, and we will have to pay for it. Mother found a way that doesn't cost money."

It doesn't cost money to buy things, Qin Huairu was confused.

She had just married into the Jia family not long ago.

He still hasn't adapted to the Jia family's style of doing things.

Jia Zhang curled her lips in disdain: "Li Aiguo brought back a bag of Fuqiang powder, which is better than refined white noodles. You used to have a good relationship with him. If you ask him to borrow a few pounds, that kid will definitely agree."

"Li Aiguo got rich and powerful fans?" Qin Huairu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

She knew the situation of the Li family very well. It could be said that in order to treat Li's father, that idiot Li Aiguo spent all the money in the family, and even had problems eating.

Otherwise, she would not have married into the Jia family.

"I saw this with my own eyes. I can't be wrong. I heard that he passed the train driver test and was rewarded by Duanli."

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang became angry: "How can Li Aiguo compare with Dongxu? Why is he so lucky!"

Qin Huairu couldn't hear Jia Zhang's voice at this time, and felt that her eyes were in a trance.

Li Aiguo was admitted as a train driver, and his future future is definitely better than Jia Dongxu's.

She regretted her choice a bit.

Jiazhang saw Qin Huairu stunned in place, and said angrily: "If you are a little filial, go to Li's house now and help me borrow rich and strong fans!"

"Mother, what an embarrassment." Qin Huairu woke up with a helpless expression on his face.

Mrs. Jia Zhang: "I'm sorry, our family just borrowed food for turnover, and it's not that we don't want to pay him back."

You borrowed something and never returned it.
Of course, Qin Huairu did not dare to say these words.

Seeing Qin Huairu's reluctance, Jiazhang became even angrier, her triangular eyes squinted.

"Qin Huairu, you are a little girl in the countryside, you don't even have a food bank, and you can't get a food bank even if you are so tired."

"If Dongxu hadn't taken a fancy to you, it would be even more difficult for you to marry into our Jia family."

"Now let you do something, you're just dawdling here."

"Do you want Dongxu to drive you back to the countryside?"

Qin Huairu is well aware of Jia Zhang's temperament, if she doesn't borrow it today, Jia Zhang will definitely have nothing to do with her.

And Jia Dongxu is soft-hearted, always only listens to Jia Zhang's words.

There is really no way.

Qin Huairu could only put Stickong to sleep, put on clean clothes, stood in front of the mirror neatly, and went out with her buttocks twisted.

Looking at Qin Huairu's back, the corners of Jia Zhang's mouth curled up slightly.

This little girl from the countryside, who usually speaks softly, has a bit of stubbornness in her eyes. She looks very respectful, but she has a lot of ideas in her heart.

Ever since Qin Huairu married into Jia's family, Jia Zhang felt that Jia Dongxu was not as obedient as before.

It must be Qin Huairu behind the scenes.

Jia Zhang felt that it was time to establish rules for Qin Huairu.

Women, when you are married, if you don't set rules, you don't know how to honor your parents-in-law.

Where is this?

When Jia Zhang first got married, the first thing in the morning was to serve tea and water to the mother-in-law.

In the bright summer, I have to fan my mother-in-law, and in the cold winter months, I have to wash clothes for my mother-in-law.

If you do something wrong, you will be beaten or scolded. Even if you are right, if you are reprimanded, you have to listen obediently.

If you dare to bark your teeth and stare, you will inevitably be punched and kicked.

It's all right now, she, Jia Zhang, has also become a wife, so naturally she has to show off her prestige.

Li Aiguo returned home, picked up the noodle scoop and divided the Fuqiang powder into six portions.

One is for myself to eat, one is for Zhou Tiehu at night, and the other is for apprenticeship.

The last two copies were given to Zhang Gangzhu and Aunt Liu next door.

These two families helped the Li family a lot when Li's father was sick.

Especially Zhang Gangzhu.

He is the butcher at the slaughterhouse, and he can buy pig offal at a low price.

In order to make up for Li's father, Li Aiguo often bought offal such as pig intestines, pig hearts, and pig lungs through Zhang Gangzhu.

correct.

Zhang Gangzhu's daughter-in-law has an interesting name, Wang Ganggang.

The two of them are not family members who do not enter the house, but both have a cheerful temperament.

Seeing that Li Aiguo sent a catty of white flour, Zhang Gangzhu and Wang Ganggang were so excited that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

"Oh, brother, sister-in-law really thank you, my kid has been making a fuss about eating white flour steamed buns."

Wang Gang took the noodles and patted Li Aiguo's shoulder heavily.

Li Aiguo saw her Adam's apple trembling, and couldn't help but gasped.

correct.

The son of Zhang Gangzhu and Wang Ganggang is called Zhang Gangdan.

Some people persuaded them to give their children nice names, such as Jianjian, Jianguo, and Anti-Americanism.

The two couples disagreed, claiming that this kind of name is easy to support.

In short.

This family focuses on two words - "hard and solid".

The situation in Aunt Liu's family is different.

Aunt Liu's two sons are working in other places, and she herself is not in good health.

"Patriotic, such a precious thing, if a person who is half buried in the loess eats it, it will be ruined."

Aunt Liu's cloudy eyes became moist as she looked at the bright white Fuqiang fans.

Li Aiguo smiled and said: "Ma'am, you are still very young, in a few years you will have to give Brother Tianquan and the others a grandson!"

Liu Tianquan and Liu Diquan were workers of the exploration team. They were suddenly transferred away three years ago and have never heard from them since.

The only evidence that can prove that they are still alive is the salary sent back every month.

Li Aiguo once found the leader of the exploration team together with Aunt Liu.

The leader said that they did not know the specific situation, only that the two were performing a glorious mission.

Since then, Aunt Liu is no longer worried.

After sending flour to the two families, Li Aiguo returned to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the Crescent Gate, he was stunned.

The door of his own house was open, and the dilapidated door panels swayed in the wind.

That's not right, when I left, I clearly tied the door on the outside with a strip of clothing.

Is it a thief?
Li Aiguo's heart skipped a beat, and he strode over.
