Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 27 A mother’s worry!
When Aunt Liu and the two aunts returned to the courtyard, the news that Wu Aiguo had become the purchasing section chief of the supply and marketing cooperative spread like a gust of wind in the courtyard.

Hearing that Aunt Liu was in the courtyard and vividly introducing to everyone in the courtyard how they went to the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy soap, Auntie couldn't help but think of Yi Zhonghai's trouble with Wu Aiguo for the Jia family the day before yesterday.

Aunt Ma has lived with Yi Zhonghai for more than [-] years. She knows Yi Zhonghai's character very well. She also knows clearly that after Yi Zhonghai was reprimanded by Director Wang, even though he didn't say anything, she felt certain in her heart. I was thinking about how to take revenge on Wu Aiguo's family.

After hearing the situation introduced by Aunt Liu, the first mother learned that Wu Aiguo was no longer the street stalker who liked to make troubles, which made her feel a little worried about Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yan! I went shopping in the pigeon market this morning, and only bought three catties of stick noodles, and the price was two cents more than usual." Yan Bugui had just returned home in the evening, and the third mother took her today. Tell Yan Bugui the result of going to buy grain.

When Yan Bugui learned that the third aunt only bought three kilograms of stick noodles, he asked unhappily: "Xiuhua! There are so many people selling food in Pigeon Market, why did you only buy three kilograms of stick noodles?"

When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, she thought of what she saw and heard in Gezi City today, and replied: "Old Yan! I heard from people in Gezi City that this year's grain production has been reduced, and people who go to the countryside can't even eat their own food." If your stomach is not full, how can you have any extra food to sell?"

"And the person who sold the grain told me that the current price of grain is one day, and more importantly, there is a price but no market. What do you think we should do?"

Yan Bugui learned about the situation in the pigeon market and believed the news Wu Aiguo told him even more.

Yan Bugui pondered for a while, and said to the third mother: "Xiuhua! I'll go to the black market to try my luck at night to see if I can buy food."

After hearing Yan Bugui's words, the third mother thought of what she had heard in the courtyard in the afternoon, and said to Yan Bugui, "Old Yan! Aunt Liu from the middle courtyard in the afternoon came back from Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Co., Ltd. to buy soap, and said in the courtyard Aiguo is Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the deputy chief of the purchasing department!"

Yan Bugui was not surprised when he heard the news from the third mother, because Wu Aiguo had already told him the news.

Seeing the envious expression of the third mother, Yan Bugui said to the third mother meaningfully: "Xiuhua! When Aiguo just came back, I told you that he came back from another job. According to the resettlement policy, Aiguo only needs to go to work. It’s just a cadre, what’s so strange about that.”

When the third mother heard Yan Bugui's words, thinking of her own children, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Old Yan! Our family, Xie Cheng! We are only one year younger than Aiguo. If we sent Xie Cheng to join the army, Xie Cheng would be discharged from the army. When you come back, will you also become a cadre?"

Yan Bugui heard the third aunt's emotion, thought of his eldest son, and said with a depressed look: "Xiuhua! Our family Jie Cheng has been weak and fearful since he was a child. If he is allowed to join the army, is it possible that he will come back with meritorious service?"

While Yan Bugui and the third mother were discussing Wu Aiguo at home, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, master and apprentice, went back to the courtyard together.

Yi Zhonghai walked to the Intermediate Court, and seriously reminded Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu! In two months, it will be the fitter upgrade exam. During this time, you'd better be serious when you go to work, and try to get your fitter Upgrade to another level, so that your salary can also increase."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's reminder, Jia Dongxu responded copiously: "Master! I understand! During this period of time, I will definitely study the fitter skills seriously."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Jia Dongxu's answer, he had a vague feeling that Jia Dongxu was dealing with him.

Thinking of Jia Dongxu's character gave Yi Zhonghai a headache, so he had no choice but to walk towards his home.

"Zhong Hai! You're back! The meal is ready and ready to eat!" Yi Zhonghai walked into the room, and the aunt who was cooking saw Yi Zhonghai come back, and immediately greeted Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai heard the words of the aunt, and asked the aunt expressionlessly: "Have you delivered the old lady's dinner in the backyard?"

The first mother heard Yi Zhonghai's question, saw Yi Zhonghai's expression, and replied: "The old lady's meal has been delivered, but the old lady has been calling for meat these two days. We have given the old lady this month." My wife has bought meat twice."

Yi Zhonghai asked his aunt to take care of the old lady. He used the subsidy given to the old lady by the street office. The purpose was to establish an image of respecting the old and loving the young in front of the residents in the courtyard. , Even if Yi Zhonghai was killed, he would not do it.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the news that the old lady was going to eat meat again, he said to the big mother expressionlessly: "After the silly Zhu comes back, I will go to the silly Zhu and ask him to come from the factory when there is a reception in the factory." Bring some meat back to the old lady."

The first mother has lived with Yi Zhonghai for so many years, so she naturally understands Yi Zhonghai's character. Thinking of what Aunt Liu said, the first mother said to Yi Zhonghai with a solemn face: "Zhonghai! Our next door Aunt Liu, Chaoyang who is going to patriotic work in the afternoon The supply and marketing cooperatives buy soap."

"When Aunt Liu came back, she said in the courtyard that Aiguo was the deputy section chief of the purchasing section chief of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative! They were able to buy soap because of their patriotic relationship."

After the introduction, Auntie thought of Yi Zhonghai's character and begged Yi Zhonghai: "Zhonghai! There is no conflict between our family and the old Wu family in the backyard. Why do you have to make the relationship with the Wu family so tense for the sake of the Jia family? ?”

Yi Zhonghai heard the persuasion from the aunt, and thought that he was screwed by Wu Aiguo, so he could only get out of trouble by pretending to be in a coma.

Yi Zhonghai's face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he reprimanded the big mother angrily: "Shut up! I'm also the big man in the yard anyway, that bastard Wu Aiguo not only didn't put my big man in In front of the whole courtyard and Director Wang, I can't get off the stage, and I am at odds with that bastard."

The aunt knew very well that the reason why Yi Zhonghai favored Jia's family was because he wanted Jia Dongxu to support them in the old age.

Thinking of Jia Zhang's lazy and unreasonable temperament, Aunt Ma couldn't help but feel worried, and asked Yi Zhonghai in a low voice: "Zhonghai! Do you think that with Jia Zhang's character, Jia Dongxu will really provide for us in our old age?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the first mother mention Jia Zhang, thinking of Jia Zhang's lazy character, regret immediately rose in his heart.

Thinking of the investment he had made in the Jia family and Jia Dongxu over the years, Yi Zhonghai was not willing to give up on the Jia family just like this, even if he was beaten to death, he replied with a disappointed look on his face: "Oh! Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. Bar!"

The first mother heard Yi Zhonghai's answer, saw Yi Zhonghai's downcast expression, and said guiltily: "Zhong Hai! It's all my fault. If I can give you a son and a half daughter, we don't have to give birth to you. The hope rests on the Jia family."
