Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 517 The answer is wrong!
Wu Xiuying learned that her nephew was helping Qinjia Village to exchange prey for food. She suddenly felt her eyes light up and asked Wu Pingshan quickly: "Brother! Did Ai Guo come back for lunch?"

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Xiuying's inquiry, how could he not understand Wu Xiuying's thoughts? He smiled and replied: "Xiuying! Aiguo is having lunch at the work at noon and will not come back until evening. If you want to ask him about wild boar meat in exchange for food, We need to wait until Patriot comes back from get off work."

When Wu Xiuying heard the situation introduced by Wu Pingshan, she thought that the couple would go back to the factory in the afternoon to sell off their vacations. She immediately asked Wu Pingshan: "Brother! Do you know the phone number of the patriotic unit? Can you give Aiguo a call? Let him come back at noon."

"Xiuying! Aiguo always eats in the workplace cafeteria at noon, and you are not in a hurry. Why don't you wait until Aiguo comes back from get off work in the evening?" Chen Shuying heard Wu Xiuying's request to Wu Pingshan and did not wait for Wu Pingshan to answer. , and opened his mouth to persuade Wu Xiuying.

When Wu Xiuying heard Chen Shuying's words, she thought about the fact that the couple was going back to the factory to sell off fake products in the afternoon, and she quickly explained: "Sister-in-law! It's not that we don't want to wait, but Guo Qi and I are going back to the factory to sell off fake products in the afternoon, and there are no plans at all. It’s time to wait for patriotism to come back.”

At this point, Chen Shuying turned to Wu Pingshan and begged: "Brother! There is not much food in our village due to collective eating in big pots. Before we set off this morning, Guoqi's sixth uncle came to see our couple. We two, I hope we can help after we get to the city and ask if you can give Aiguo a call and ask him to come back?"

When Wu Pingshan heard his sister's plea, he pondered for a moment and said to Wu Xiuying: "Xiuying! Since you don't have time in the afternoon, I will go to the subdistrict office to call and ask Aiguo to come back."

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

At around twelve o'clock at noon, Wu Aiguo had just returned to the office after lunch, and the phone on his desk rang.

When he heard the phone ringing, Wu Aiguo put his lunch box on the table, picked up the phone and asked politely: "Hello! I'm Wu Aiguo, who is this?"

"Patriot! It's me! Can you come home now?" As soon as Wu Aiguo's voice of inquiry ended, Wu Pingshan's voice of inquiry came over the phone.

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan's inquiry, he was obviously taken aback, and asked Wu Pingshan curiously: "Dad! You are calling me home at this time, did something happen at home?"

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he did not deliberately hide it. He introduced in a solemn tone: "Aiguo! Your aunt and uncle are here. You'd better go home quickly!"

Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Wu Pingshan and learned that his aunt and uncle came to the house. He asked Wu Pingshan curiously: "Dad! Didn't my aunt and uncle just come to the house to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" Really? Did they come here for something today?"

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he thought of the reason why Wu Xiuying rushed to ask Wu Aiguo to go back, and asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Did you help Qinjia Village exchange a batch of grain in the city a few years ago?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan suddenly ask him about helping Qinjia Village to exchange food, he asked Wu Pingshan in surprise: "Dad! Who did you hear about this?"

Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry and thought of the reason why Wu Xiuying asked Wu Aiguo to go back. He smiled and introduced Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! There is a daughter in your uncle's village who is the daughter-in-law of Qinjia Village. This daughter came back to pay New Year's greetings this year. At that time, I talked about the exchange of wild boar meat for food in Qinjia Village at home." "People in your aunt's village heard that wild boar meat can be exchanged for food in the city, so they organized a militia team to go hunting in the mountains on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. During hunting, your uncle's eldest brother had one of his legs broken by a wild boar while trying to save a nephew from the same village."

"Because of this matter, your aunt and your uncle took two days off from the factory. Today, because the factory's holiday has come, they had to go back to the city. At the same time, they were also asked by the village to go to the city to see Let’s see if we can exchange wild boar meat for some food and go back.”

Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Wu Pingshan and learned the reason why his family asked him to go back at noon. Wu Aiguo pondered for a while and replied: "Dad! Deputy Director Li of your steel rolling mill invited me to dinner tonight. I will definitely not have time to accompany my aunt and uncle by then, so I will come back now."

When Wu Pingshan heard what Wu Aiguo said, he was not polite to Wu Aiguo and said, "Okay! Then come back quickly."

More than half an hour later, Wu Aiguo drove back to the courtyard. When he walked into the house, Wu Pingshan and Zhao Guoqi were sitting at the dining table drinking.

"Aiguo! You're back! What's the matter with the photo on the wall? Tell your aunt about it." Seeing Wu Aiguo's return, Wu Xiuying couldn't wait to ask about the photo.

Facing Wu Xiuying's question, Wu Aiguo replied with a smile: "Gu! Years ago, I was invited by the Government Affairs Council to attend the welcome dinner, and this photo was taken at the dinner."

When Wu Xiuying saw that Wu Aiguo answered the wrong question, she immediately asked Wu Aiguo: "Patriot! That's not what I asked, what I want to ask is, why did you stand behind Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji to take pictures? Do you know these two old people?" ?”

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Xiuying's inquiry, he quickly explained: "Gu! I do know Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji. As for why I stand behind the two old people, it should be because I am younger!"

"Patriotic! Several wild boars were hunted in your uncle's village, and you want to exchange some food in the city. What should you do about this matter?" Patriot asked.

Exchanging wild boar meat for grain was a piece of cake for Wu Aiguo. Faced with Wu Pingshan's inquiry, Wu Aiguo did not immediately respond to the matter. Instead, he showed a troubled expression and said : "Dad! Uncle! How precious the food in the city is now. I believe you all know very well that in order to raise new year's supplies, various units had to exchange food for wild boar meat."

"Now that the New Year is over, wild boar meat is in the city. Although there will be many factories rushing to buy it with money, it may be impossible for these factories to exchange grain for wild boar meat. After all, there is a food shortage there."

When Zhao Guoqi heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he thought of the current situation in the city and knew that Wu Aiguo was telling the truth. Thinking of his uncle's instructions to him before his family entered the city, Zhao Guoqi asked Wu Aiguo expectantly: " Patriotism! Is there nothing we can do about it?"
