Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 192 Little effort

   "Meeting! Meeting!"

   "All the residents of the hospital, send one person from each family to the middle courtyard for a meeting!"

   "The family is short of food, the three uncles asked Section Chief Jiang for help!"

   "..."

  The originally quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

  Liu Haizhong and several boys from Yan Bugui's family notified them door by door.

   After a while, all gathered in the courtyard.

   "Everything is here!"

   Liu Guangqi, who was in charge of counting the number of people, said to the three uncles.

  Yi Zhonghai nodded and said:

   "Although there are only three days off for Chinese New Year."

   “But a lot of people think it’s just a few days.”

   "So I opened my stomach and ate."

   "Is it okay now? Go back and count the food."

  “Many families won’t be able to survive until the end of the month.”

   "Actually, it's not just in our yard. If this happens, it's similar in other places."

   "Today, the three of us went out to see it in person."

   "There are almost no sweet potatoes on the market."

   "Even if there is, it's not our turn."

   "As for when the supply will resume, it is still uncertain."

   "So let's ask Ping An to help change some. There is food in hand, so don't panic!"

   "If you are willing to exchange stick noodles for sweet potatoes, please come and register."

   "Ping An Renyi, willing to help everyone, just change according to the usual standard."

   "One catty of cornmeal is exchanged for five catties of sweet potatoes."

   "What you need at home, you can exchange it according to your ability."

   As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Ping'an.

  Jiang Pingan nodded, took a step forward, and said with a smile:

   "Let's talk about it first, we will change it once a month."

   "The number is not limited, you decide for yourself."

   "Don't change them all, although sweet potatoes are the most filling."

   "Eating too much makes you gas, I think everyone knows that."

   "Liu Guangqi, you are in charge of statistics, Yan Jiefang, you are in charge of weighing."

   After receiving the order, everyone got to work immediately.

  Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiefang happily went home to get their notebooks and scales.

  Other households were making a lot of noise, and they all went home immediately to get food.

   One catty of cornmeal is exchanged for five catties of sweet potatoes, which is a normal standard.

  Jiang Pingan didn't cheat them, so no one was dissatisfied.

   Instead, I extended a helping hand to him and felt grateful.

   Soon, everyone took the food and lined up.

   "Jiang Laowujia, ten catties of stick noodles, exchange fifty catties of sweet potatoes."

   "Tie Zhuzi's house, ten catties of stick noodles for fifty catties of sweet potatoes."

   "He Yuzhu's house, six catties of stick noodles for thirty catties of sweet potatoes."

   "..."

  Every time you weigh yourself, Yan Jiefang will announce it loudly.

   "Silly Zhu, your family is also short of food?"

  Jiang Pingan stared at the side and asked in doubt.

  He Yuzhu hadn't answered yet, but Jia Zhang jumped up and said:

   "That is the food my family borrowed from him, and I will pay him back later."

   Several uncles looked at He Yuzhu, then at Jia Zhang, and they all frowned.

  At this time, He Yushui stepped forward and asked:

   "Brother, you lent the food to Jia's family, what shall we eat in the future?"

  He Yuzhu faltered and said: "Jia has a lot of family members, so I help him once in a while."

   As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Jiang Pingan: "Could it be that I can't change?"

   "Change, no one will change it for you!" Jiang Pingan gave him a blank look.

   Turning his head and smiling at He Yushui again: "Yushui, anyway, your rations are with me."

   "From now on, you can come to my place to get food, don't count on him."

  He Yushui nodded, then looked at He Yuzhu coldly, and said:

   "Fortunately, there is brother Ping An in the courtyard to take care of me, otherwise I would be hungry again!"

   "I have been so hungry since I was a child, don't call me my brother in the future!"

   As he spoke, he turned and went back to his room.

  He Yuzhu's face darkened instantly, and he couldn't get over it, and he didn't dare to provoke Jiang Ping'an.

  So after registering, I couldn't wait to leave.

   It was Jia Zhang, who was smiling happily by the side.

   Standing by the door, Qin Huairu pursed her lips and sighed secretly.

   Liu Haizhong was about to speak, but Yi Zhonghai pulled his arm and shook his head secretly.

  So he stuck his breath in his throat, couldn't go up, couldn't go down, and stopped talking.

  Jiang Ping'an didn't chase him either.

  Take this opportunity to let Da Daer know that He Yushui will just eat his food in the future.

  In order to prevent He Yushui from eating him, others will not know the situation and cause misunderstanding.

  Just now he interrupted to ask He Yuzhu, the main purpose is here.

   Soon, more than 20 households received all the food that needed to be replaced, and the statistics were completed.

  A total of five hundred and forty catties of stick noodles were collected.

  Families with fewer people can exchange five or six catties, and families with more people can exchange up to thirty catties.

  Sweet potatoes are not a staple food after all, they can be used to fill in the food gap. Eating too much is not easy to digest.

   "Thank you, Chief Jiang, you have helped my family a lot this time!"

   "Section Chief Jiang is benevolent and trustworthy at critical moments."

   "Fortunately, Section Chief Jiang is here in our yard, otherwise we would be hungry."

   "..."

  People were very grateful to Jiang Ping'an, and they kept talking about nice things without money.

   "Hehe, it's a matter of little effort, let's help each other."

   "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely handle this matter well."

   "Don't worry, the sweet potatoes you got back are definitely not bad."

   "The bad ones are mine, and you can choose by yourself when the time comes."

   "..."

  After the courtesy.

  Jiang Pingan asked Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiefang to borrow two carts from the courtyard next door.

  The young men in the yard worked together to move the grain onto the cart and pull it to the grain station.

  Jiang Ping'an and the three uncles followed, but it was quite relaxed.

  When he arrived at the grain station, Jiang Pingan asked everyone to wait outside, so he went to find Station Master Sun first.

   After asking, there are no sweet potatoes in stock, but white noodles.

   "Old Sun, is the food supply short again?"

  Jiang Ping'an was puzzled, and then passed a cigarette.

  Stationmaster Sun took the cigarette, smiled wryly and said, "Will there be no shortage of food now?"

   "That's right, do me a favor and replace these stick noodles with white noodles." Jiang Ping'an said.

  Stationmaster Sun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange someone to call you."

  Cob flour is exchanged for white flour, and three catties are exchanged for one catty.

   After a while, the weight was weighed, and stationmaster Sun said to Jiang Pingan:

   "Five hundred and forty catties of cornmeal, exchange for one hundred and eighty catties of white flour, right?"

   "That's right, this is a trouble for you." Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled.

  Stationmaster Sun said with a smile: "We brothers, if you say this, you will be offended."

  One hundred and eighty catties of white flour filled two bags, and Station Master Sun ordered people to move it to the cart.

  Jiang Ping'an talked with Station Manager Sun for a while, and then left.

  Yi Zhonghai saw Jiang Ping'an come out, he was puzzled and said:

   "Ping An, why did you switch to white noodles?"

   "Hehe, I'll change to white noodles first, and then I will change to sweet potatoes elsewhere." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

   "Let's not talk about this first, you help me take the white noodles home, and I will take them away with a bicycle."

   If there is something to change, Yi Zhonghai and the others are relieved to hear this.

  Back in the yard, Jiang Ping'an took out the bicycle and tied two bags of flour to the back seat.

   "It's very likely that I won't be able to exchange it today. After all, I need to exchange more than 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes. Let's say hello first."

  Jiang Pingan told Yi Zhonghai and others.

  Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "It's fine if you can change it back, and there is no rush for a day or two."

  Jiang Pingan smiled, pedaled and left.
