Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 191 Encouragement in every possible way

   Before Qin Huairu left.

   After eating a few big steamed buns at Jiang Ping'an's side, he said goodbye and left.

   In her words, she has suffered a lot.

   I can't get nothing, so I came here for nothing.

  Jiang Ping'an was willing to give her food, as long as he didn't take it away.

  Even if she opened her stomach to eat, how much could she eat?

   Intermediate Court.

  The Jia family is eating around the table.

  It’s nothing good either, add steamed buns to cook water vegetables.

   Seeing Qin Huairu come back with a blushing face, Jia Zhang asked curiously:

   "How was it? What was said?"

  Qin Huairu crossed his legs and did not walk over.

   He took a small bench by the door, sat down in front of the stove, and smiled:

   "Just Lala's homely cooking, and mixed a few steamed buns to eat."

   "Steamed buns? Good guy! After all, I still want fellow villagers, so I'll eat them now."

  Ms. Jia Zhang swallowed her saliva, and suddenly felt that the steamed bread in her hand was not fragrant.

  Jia Dongxu asked suspiciously: "Just talking about homework, and didn't say anything else?"

   "I want to say something else, so I have to say something!" Qin Huairu said helplessly.

   "Although he and I belong to the same commune, we were not familiar with him before."

   "It's my cousin's house, which is closer to his house, and the relationship between the two of them is better."

   Jia Zhang rolled his eyes and asked, "How old is your cousin?"

   "If it's suitable, you can also be an intermediary and introduce her to Jiang Ping'an!"

   "In this case, can't you also get Jiang Pingan's favor?"

  Qin Huairu shook his head and said: "I don't need to introduce at all, the two of them are very familiar."

   "Let's put it this way, standing in front of my cousin's house."

   "You don't need to make too much noise to tell Jiang Ping'an to agree."

   "Their two families are separated by a stream, and they are very close!"

   "So, when I chat with Jiang Ping'an, most of them are talking about my cousin's house."

   Mrs. Jia Zhang sighed, regretfully said: "It's a waste of such a good opportunity."

   "But having said that, if you can eat his white flour steamed buns, it is considered an improvement."

   "It's not a day or two to have a relationship with him. You should pay more attention to this matter in the future."

  Jia Dongxu interjected and asked, "Huairu, can you bring some steamed buns back next time?"

   "No, I tried it just now, and I can only eat it there, not take it away." Qin Huairu said bluntly.

   "You can be content, I can eat his steamed buns, it's already an advantage."

   "This shows that he is not so unreasonable, but it is a good thing."

  Jia Dongxu didn't give up and said: "Then you go over there with sticks to eat together."

   "Hehe, then he will come to our house to ask for food." Qin Huairu laughed.

   Jia Dongxu frowned and said, "Why did he ask our family for food?"

  Qin Huairu pursed his lips and said, "The two of us went over to eat."

   "He's not a fool, it's obvious he's taking advantage of him!"

   "And even if it's me, I can only eat once in a while."

   "If you really want to go every day, do you think he won't turn his back?"

   She has long wanted to do this.

  If you can bring sticks with you, what would Jia Dongxu say?

  Jia Zhang nodded and said, "That's right, that kid Jiang Ping'an can turn his face faster than he can turn a book."

   "Don't worry about it, Dongxu. It would be nice if Huairu could go over to have a meal once in a while."

   "In short, it doesn't matter whether you eat or not, the key is to have a good relationship with him."

   "In the future, if you are promoted to a third-level fitter, it is best to ask him for help, which can save a lot of money."

   "Hey, if you are so clever in learning crafts, our family will not have to worry about it."

  Jia Dongxu blushed with embarrassment.

   Unable to get over it, he threw the corn bread into the basin, and went back to the kang to sulk.

   "Cut, if you don't eat, I will!" Jia Zhang will not spoil him.

  Although she loves her son dearly, she also has means to suppress him.

   Otherwise, Jia Dongxu would always listen to her?

  Qin Huairu remained silent at the side, lowered his head, and cursed Jiang Pingan secretly:

   "Tell him not to stay, don't stay, now I am the one who feels uncomfortable, why is the smell so strong!"

  …

  Jiang Pingan poured hot water, cleaned up, and went back to the bedroom to take a lunch break.

  Just lying down for a while, before falling asleep, I heard He Yushui's footsteps.

   Soon, He Yushui jumped into the room and said with a smile:

   "Brother Ping An, I told my brother, and he agreed with me to go to school!"

   "He disagreed at first, and then I said I can cook by myself, so he doesn't have to worry about it, so he agreed."

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's better this way, I can cook by myself."

   "You can take some white flour, cornmeal, vegetables, lard and seasonings from my kitchen later!"

  He Yushui did not refuse, this was agreed before, to supplement her nutrition.

   "Okay, I'll pick some as I go."

  He Yushui walked to the edge of the Kang, sat down and said.

   "Are you going to take a nap now?"

   "It smells so strong, Xu Damao persuaded you to drink again?"

  Jiang Pingan lifted a corner of the quilt and said with a smile:

   "Come up quickly, the kang is warm, let's talk for a while."

  He Yushui smiled shyly and nodded silently.

  After rustling for a while, I got into the bed...

  …

  After He Yushui left, Jiang Pingan slept until three o'clock before waking up.

   There is no need to go out today. I will see Wen Li and the others next Sunday.

  After washing up, he came to hang out in the yard.

  I saw some people basking in the sun in the yard, all looking listless.

   After thinking about it, he instantly understood that these people were all because they were not full.

   It is estimated that it will be a few days during the Chinese New Year, but I have eaten my energy, and now I will start saving food.

  Nowadays, there is less oil and water in the meals, and people's appetite has naturally increased, and most of the rations at home are not enough to eat.

  This is the case in this era, even if you have money, you can't buy more food.

  Speaking of which, the people in the courtyard house are really not poor.

   Most of them were rolling mill workers.

  The monthly salary of ordinary workers is about 30 to 50 yuan.

   It seems that the income of Yan Bugui's family is less, his monthly salary is only 27 yuan.

  With so much money, if you don’t set up quotas and don’t need food stamps, you can buy a lot of food.

  So, there are so many people in the yard.

  The reason why it looks poor is because there is a ration of supplies stuck there.

   Just because they are rich, really poor people cannot be deprived of food.

  When I came to the middle courtyard, I saw three uncles whispering something in front of Yi Zhonghai's house.

   "Come here safely, we're talking about you!" Yi Zhonghai smiled.

  Jiang Pingan walked over and asked in confusion, "Speaking of me? What's the matter?"

  Yi Zhonghai pondered: "The thing is like this."

   "A few days ago during the Chinese New Year, I probably ate a lot."

   "As a result, the food for most households will not last until the end of the month."

   "So, the three of us have a discussion."

   "See if you can help me think of a way to exchange some sweet potatoes with whole grains."

  Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Why do you ask me for this?"

   "Who wants to replace sweet potatoes, can't it be done with stick noodles?"

  Yi Zhonghai shook his head and sighed: "The key is that there are no sweet potatoes on the market right now."

   "The three of us went out to see it today. The sweet potato has already been replaced."

  Yan Bugui answered, "It's just a few days ago. It was quite easy to exchange stick noodles for sweet potatoes a few years ago."
