Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 189 Donating food? Sir, please set an example first.

Just listen to Yan Bugui say: "That's not what you said. Although the Jia family still has some money, they are mainly short of food and nutrition."

"There are five members of the Jia family, but the only one making money is Jia and Zhang. They must spend a lot of money on food every month."

“And you can’t buy any nutritional supplements.”

"The most important thing is that Dongxu's total compensation was only five hundred, and she also gave her the third uncle twenty-five dollars. After all the miscellaneous things, there were only four hundred and five hundred left."

"I want to buy something in this disaster year. The money is so worthless. Pork on the black market now only costs four yuan a pound."

"An egg has already cost thirty-five cents. How can I afford to spend this money? It would be nice to buy some nutritional supplements for Hongying, which will be enough for her to stretch the child until weaning."

"But no one knows when this disaster year will end. I think everyone can donate a little bit."

Hearing what Yan Bugui said, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up and he continued: "Yes, that's why Lao Yan and I organized this donation."

"What I mean is that you can donate less money and give some food, so that the Jia family can have enough food to survive these two months."

"Two months plus the Jia family's original rations are quite a lot."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated after hearing this. He wanted to be a good person, but he didn't expect that Yan Bugui also donated five kilograms of stick noodles.

"You should donate no less than the second uncle donated."

Li Xiuzhu thought this and said, "That's good. Now the Jia family has donated thirty kilograms of grain."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui and continued: "We have to convince everyone, right?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled slightly, and did not object anymore. He said, "Since the first and second uncles have said so, the two uncles should set an example first."

"Silly Zhu, as a promising young man, you are an activist who is willing to help others."

You must know that each person's monthly distribution of white flour is not much, and one employee can only receive ten kilograms of white flour. This is a big deal.

Yi Zhonghai originally planned to set an example. He was the one who initiated this matter. He knew that if he didn't set an example, no one would donate money.

Looking at the Jia family again, I saw Mrs. Jia Zhang looking at the three of them with a smile on her face.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

But just these things don't seem to show much.

Li Xiuzhu continued: "Then I will also donate..."

Come on, you deserve to be targeted by the widow.

Hiss, everyone was shocked this time.

"In my opinion, each of the remaining families can donate one catty, which is enough. I will donate one more catty to make up forty catties."

Seemingly aware of Li Xiuzhu's gaze, Yan Bugui cheered up with a guilty conscience, but did not even dare to look at Li Xiuzhu.

I just didn’t expect that the two of them already had a certain foundation.

"But, you are right. I have to set an example no matter what. I will also donate ten kilograms of stick noodles."

Before Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, he was suddenly stabbed in the back again. Silly Zhu said: "Uncle Li, your family is the richest in our courtyard. We can't be worse than the first uncle, right?"

Hearing this, Shazhu rubbed his neck and said proudly: "That's right, not only do I donate less than the second uncle, I also donate better than you all."

"Otherwise, I will donate ten catties and I will supply the remaining five catties to the Jia family next month."

Don’t think it’s less. One pound of stick noodles on the black market now costs 60 cents, while five pounds costs three dollars.

Yi Zhonghai said righteously: "The third uncle is right. Since I brought up this matter, I will definitely set an example."

"But I'll clear it all at once."

"I will also urge Jia Zhang's work to get on the right track as soon as possible."

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said: "I can understand the second uncle's five kilograms of stick noodles. The second uncle's salary is not high. First uncle, you can donate seventy-nine and a half yuan a month (you are not an eighth-level worker now), and you can donate the same amount as the second uncle. It’s not appropriate.”

Hearing this, Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and said, "I'll also donate five kilograms of stick noodles."

He would have to donate white flour or ten kilograms.

Everyone could not help but be surprised by Silhu's generosity, except Li Xiuzhu.

This damn kid feels sorry for the widow again.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Lao Yanbugui inexplicably. In order to save money, this man who was reluctant to even catch fish would actually take the initiative to send money and food to the Jia family...

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "That's okay. The second uncle will keep an account, and the first uncle will donate ten kilograms and make up for it in two months."

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said awkwardly: "I only have six or seven kilograms of stick noodles left at home."

"I'll donate five pounds of stick noodles."

It seems that a lot happened during the time he left.

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he glanced at Shazhu, then at the Jia family, and understood immediately.

"I will donate five pounds of white flour."

"Wealth's food is also distributed based on headcount and position. There are many people in my family, but not many people work. In terms of average supplies, it is much worse than that of a two-income family."

Li Xiuzhu knew how much Sha Zhu liked the widow, so he was not surprised at all.

If this white flour were sold on the black market, five kilograms would be worth at least five or six yuan.

"Those who are rich donate white noodles, and those who are not rich donate stick noodles. Don't force it."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and continued: "The first and second uncles, forty kilograms of grain, should be enough for the Jia family to spend two months."

Hearing this, the two of them were speechless. They had spent a lot of money, and it didn't meet their expectations.

But forty pounds plus the Jia family's grain, let alone two months, three months can basically lead a better life than 90% of the people in this yard.

At this time, Jia Zhang finally spoke.

"Li Xiuzhu, how could you do this? Everyone is free to donate how much they want, so why should you care?"

"And this only has noodles, but no vegetables. Why don't you donate some money to help our family?"

Li Xiuzhu suddenly laughed when he heard this. He looked at the residents in a courtyard and said with a smile: "Since Sister-in-law of the Jia family has said that you are free to donate any amount, then everyone can donate more or less. We, the uncles, will just take care of it." It’s gone.”

"Then I won't post my pound for now. Let's see how much everyone donates."

Hearing this, Xu Damao did before anyone else could react.

If nothing else, his mind is really flexible.

Xu Damao immediately said: "In that case, let's donate half a catty of stick noodles to my family. My wife is pregnant and cannot go hungry."

As soon as Xu Damao opened his mouth, everyone understood. There is no need to donate more, you can also donate less.

"Then my family should also donate half a catty of stick noodles. I have a large family and my husband is the only worker in the family. We don't even have enough to eat."

"I'll donate three taels of stick noodles."

"I'll also donate three taels of stick noodles."

Yi Zhonghai and the two felt numb, and they both sighed as they looked at the greedy Jia Zhang.

Who do you have a bad argument with, but Li Xiuzhu?

Yan Bugui made a mental calculation and found that the thirty-nine kilograms just now suddenly dropped by five kilograms and became less than thirty-four kilograms.

Thirty kilograms of it were given by their three uncles plus Shazhu.

Yi Zhonghai had nothing to say, and Yan Bugui also glanced at Jia Zhang and sighed.

After all, Li Xiuzhu came back and still didn't stand on the same side as them.

Add in Jia Zhang's idiot teammate, who can beat this kid? Moreover, this time it seemed that he had won, but in fact he still injured the enemy by 1,000 and lost 800 to himself.

Not only did it not help the Jia family much, but it also offended Li Xiuzhu, making it even harder to do something next time.

But although the two of them and the Jia family were unhappy, others were happy.

How much can this save?

Mrs. Jia Zhang was so angry that she didn't expect these neighbors to be so stingy. Her son is dead. Help them. What happened to the Jia family?

Zheng Hongying didn't speak, but looked at Shazhu pitifully. Suddenly, Shazhu's machismo exploded.

"No, are you too stingy? You can even take something that weighs less than half a catty?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao was unhappy. He was already at odds with Sha Zhu, so how could he make Sha Zhu feel comfortable?

If Silly Pillar stands in the east, he must stand in the west.

"Silly Zhu, what you said is interesting. Do you think that everyone is alone like you, and that one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry?"

Silly Zhu's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

"You fart, can't I take care of my sister? Who said that if I can feed myself, the whole family will not be hungry."

Hearing this, Xu Damao said disdainfully: "Who doesn't know what's going on with your sister? Your sister is living on campus now and will never come back. What do you have to do with the tuition and living expenses paid by your father?"

"At most, you can give me some pocket money now and then, and Rainwater will come back every weekend to take care of the food for two days."

Silhu's expression changed again when he heard this. You said a few words but didn't know what to say.

Xu Damao was right, this was the fact and he couldn't refute it.

"Look, it's hard to tell. Of course it doesn't matter if you spend at most five dollars a month on your sister, but we all have families."

"We are different, so don't try to make up for it with us."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this. He was not alone. He was the one who stood up for justice and had accomplices.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's get moving and get things."

"Second uncle, you are the teacher. I have settled the accounts. I would like to ask you to wait here and take notes."

After Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, he stood up and left, and with him were all the residents in the courtyard. For a while, only Yan Bugui and three households in the middle courtyard were left.

When Mrs. Jia Zhang saw that the people were gone, she cried immediately: "His first uncle, second uncle, and Li Xiuzhu are no longer human beings. How can our family survive with such little things?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned when he heard this and scolded: "Jia Zhang, please shut up. You don't want the ten kilograms of grain from the Li family, do you?"

Yan Bugui also glanced nervously in the direction of the backyard and said, "Stop talking and let him hear it. Don't say that he won't donate. Believe it or not, he can make others stop donating."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she quickly stopped talking.

Although he was dissatisfied with Li Xiuzhu, he did not dare to say anything more.

A dozen kilograms of grain, even just stick noodles, is worth five or six yuan now.

After a while, everyone brought the stick noodles over. Qin Huairu sent it to Li Xiuzhu's family.

Too lazy to move, but not angry either.

At the same time, Yu Li, who returned home, began to think. Although she was very hungry and couldn't think much about it, she still couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

If Zhou Rushui has that kind of relationship with Li Xiuzhu's family, can she...

Don't blame her for her wild thoughts, she was just too hungry, and Yan Jiecheng was such a loser.

After marrying into the Yan family for so long, she didn't even have sex with him.

She didn't know at first, but her mother asked her if she was pregnant. She asked curiously how she knew she was pregnant.

There was nothing that could be done about it. If the two of them hadn't gotten married during the disaster year, they would have gotten pregnant long ago. But now that their stomachs are not full, who would think about it.

Just because of hunger, more people will have no children in the future. Borrowing is popular during this period, and there are many people buying children. This is also a last resort.

Li Xiuzhu didn't know that he was being targeted at this time. When Chen Xueru came back, Li Xiuzhu asked curiously: "Why is it so late today?"

Hearing this, Chen Xueru stretched out and sat in Li Xiuzhu's arms. She complained and said, "There are a lot of things going on today. The garment factory wants to owe us dividends first."

Li Xiuzhu frowned but didn't say anything. This kind of thing shouldn't happen.

Their shares are RMB, not foreign exchange.

There is no shortage of money up there, but now there is a shortage of food.

Since the other party did this, it was probably to test them.

"Is there anything else?"

"The problem isn't big. It's just that we won't be needed for the factory's operations in the future. I want to quit as a private manager."

"I thought about it. This is a good thing. I don't have to stand in front of others. I just retreated."

"But you can't owe this money."

"If I owe this money, I'm afraid I won't get it back in the future. This is a test to see if we can be manipulated."

"Although we have only paid dividends for two years, it cannot be less."

"I don't know how Lou Zhenhua will handle it. Do you think he will compromise?"

Li Xiuzhu pondered and shook his head.

"Probably not. Although he should give in now, he is not stupid if he can do his share of the business."

"If he retreats now, he won't lose anything."

"If it's so easy and he doesn't make a fuss, then someone is going to focus on him."

Chen Xueru smiled proudly after hearing this and said, "Yes, that's the truth, so I can give it to the private manager, but I can't give it to the money."

While talking, Qin Huairu came over and said, "Sister, the food is hot. Can I bring it to the room for you?"

Chen Xueru stood up and said, "What are you doing in Duanwu? It makes the whole room smell."

"Besides, Zhaodi and I haven't eaten yet. What do you want her to eat in my room?"

After saying that, Chen Xueru turned to look at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Man, I'm going to eat first."

"By the way, I see Ru Shui just entered Zao'er's house, don't you go and take a look?"

Li Xiuzhu was not embarrassed about the joking smile on Chen Xueru's face.

He would be embarrassed at first, but as time went by, he became thick-skinned.

"Okay, then I'll go for a walk, you can eat, and take a shower after eating. I'll be back later."

Chen Xueru sat on the table charmingly, picked up a chopstick of pickles to appetize, and said, "Okay, I'll save some water for you."

Don't mention it, no one of his women can do it with this kind of strength, Chen Xueru is the only one who can do it.

Early the next morning, when Li Xiuzhu was about to go out for a walk, he accidentally saw Sha Zhu.

It's not too surprising. Silly Zhu is a cook and the master cook of the stove in the No. 1 canteen, so his working hours are flexible.

As long as you don't delay your meal, you'll be fine if you go early or late.

Suddenly, Li Xiuzhu thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Silly Zhu, don't be too busy leaving..."
