Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 208 Jia Dongxu was beaten

  Time is long.

   In the blink of an eye, it was March, and it finally rained heavily in the capital.

  But compared to the drought, this little rain is a drop in the bucket, and it cannot solve the urgent need.

  The supply of materials in the city is getting tighter and tighter.

   Especially pork, which is almost invisible on the market.

   The same is true for food, and Jiang Ping'an is well-informed.

   From time to time, I heard that the grain stocks were tight, and they were dispatched from various provinces to Beijing every three days.

  Vegetables have already been purchased and sold in a unified manner, and they are purchased by ticket, and the quota is reduced one after another.

  In short, the capital is short of everything now, and the supply of all materials is tight.

  For some, the center also imports food from many countries through various means.

   Even reduced the import of industrial equipment and some industrial raw materials, reducing foreign exchange expenditures.

  On one principle: eat first.

  There is a lot of commotion outside, but the courtyard has been relatively quiet.

   Everyone has benefited from Jiang Ping'an's help.

  When paying rations every month, replace coarse grains with miscellaneous grains to fill the gap in rations.

  Although life is still difficult, but there is food at home, so I don’t panic.

  Jiang Ping'an is also used to the life of going to work and school, and his life is fulfilling.

  Steel Rolling Plant, Purchasing Section 3 Section Chief's Office.

   "Peace, your aunt Xu is going to give birth in the next two or three days." Zhao Yuchu pondered.

   "I asked you to do it last year, please do help!"

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Things can be obtained, but the quantity should not be too much."

   "Uncle Zhao, you know what's going on now, don't I need to say more?"

   "I know, I know, as much as you can make is too much." Zhao Yuchu nodded and smiled.

   "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on going to college yet! What have you studied?"

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "I learned a lot."

   "Such as mechanical foundation, mechanical drawing, metal materials and heat treatment, electrical and electronic technology."

   "Plastic deformation technology, heating of steel rolling materials, mechanical equipment maintenance, steel quality inspection."

   "Metallurgical production management and accounting, majoring in a foreign language, taking a foreign language as an elective, etc."

   "I will learn these for the time being, and I heard that there will be more courses according to actual needs in the future."

   "How should I put it, after all, the night school training courses are not the departments of the university."

   "The learning content is almost like a hodgepodge, what the people need, what we learn."

  Zhao Yuchu nodded, and asked strangely: "You guys still learn foreign languages, can you use them?"

   "This is useful. Don't you need someone to translate the materials and books you got from abroad?" Jiang Ping'an said.

   "Send personnel to go abroad to purchase equipment and communicate with foreign technical personnel, don't you need comprehensive talents?"

  Zhao Yuchu nodded and said, "That's true!"

   "In the future, it will be your young people's world after all."

   After the two chatted for a while, Zhao Yuchu said goodbye and left.

  As soon as he left, Xu Damao sneaked in.

   "Good guy, Lao Zhao gave you another gift?"

  Xu Damao saw the two peonies on the table and said enviously.

  Jiang Pingan put the peony in the drawer, hehe smiled and said:

   "When you become a cadre, someone will give you gifts."

   "Fart, do you think I don't know that Mrs. Zhao's wife is going to give birth?" Xu Damao sat down and said.

   "He obviously wanted to ask you to help with supplies, so he gave you a gift."

   "Otherwise he is a big factory and will curry favor with you?"

  Jiang Pingan nodded with a smile and said, "You're right."

   "Seeing your happy face, there should be something good?"

   "Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Xu Damao smiled, and passed a cigarette over.

   "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are back, and they sent a lot of supplies this morning."

  Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled, "This is a good thing!"

   "That is to say, from this month, I don't have to give you supplies?"

  Xu Damao nodded and said, "That's almost what it means."

   "Although the supplies you helped get are quite affordable, why not use them if they are free?"

   "But it's strange to say that the things my father-in-law sent are not as delicious as the ones you sent."

   "At noon today, Ezi is still saying that those rice noodles feel like vomiting after eating, and the taste is not right."

   "But I also read it, and there is no difference! Do you think she is feeling embarrassed?"

  Jiang Ping'an asked suspiciously, "Didn't you try it yourself?"

   "No, I got the news after lunch and then went back." Xu Damao nodded.

  Jiang Ping'an pondered and said, "You should try it yourself when you go back tonight."

   "If the taste is too different, then let sister Xiao'e eat the supplies I made."

   As he spoke, he leaned forward and said mysteriously:

   "I got all the best stuff, special offer..."

  Xu Damao's eyes widened, he took a breath, and said gratefully:

   "No wonder, thank you so much, you really cared about helping my family this time."

  Now he doesn't feel expensive at all, and he is very grateful to Jiang Ping'an.

  Although this kid usually likes to take advantage of others, he can always help at critical moments.

  Jiang Ping'an smiled slightly and said, "You just need to know about it, and keep it secret."

   "If the news is leaked, hey, you know the consequences."

  Xu Damao's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Yes, I forgot all about it when I left this door!"

   "What if the drinking and talking in sleep are out?" Jiang Pingan asked him with squinting eyes.

   Xu Damao gritted his teeth and said, "From today onwards, I will quit drinking!"

   "I won't go out at night, I will go home after work."

   "Anyway, I'm sleeping in the corner of the living room now, and no one will hear the sleep talk."

   "Even if I go out to watch a movie, I sleep alone and don't share a bed with others!"

  This matter is too scary, and he really dare not be careless when it comes to special offerings.

  He didn't suspect that Jiang Ping'an was fooling him.

  Because of those materials, the quality is indeed many times better than those on the market.

  He had doubts before, but he didn't dare to ask more.

   Now that Jiang Ping'an said it, he can no longer pretend to be confused.

  Jiang Pingan nodded in satisfaction, continued to intensify the threat, and said:

   "I hope you will do what you say, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."

   "Something really happened, it's good to eat free mush, but it's scary to eat peanuts."

  Xu Damao's pupils shrank, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was most afraid of death...

   Dazed for a moment, he put the cigarette in his mouth tremblingly, took a deep breath, and whispered:

   "Secret it, I will definitely keep it secret, I have to raise a child!"

   Then, he got up in a daze, without saying hello, and went out slowly.

  Jiang Pingan looked at his back and thought, "Is this too frightening?"

   But he didn't feel guilty at all.

  Because Xu Damao, a bastard, seems to be shrewd, but he is actually confused.

  Especially after a few sips of wine, he gets carried away and likes to brag.

  So it is necessary to beat him from time to time to keep him in his original intention.

   Withdrawing his thoughts, Jiang Pingan picked up the document and read it.

   Half an hour later, Xu Damao rushed in, his face full of excitement, and he shouted loudly:

   "Jiang Ping'an, Jia Dongxu was beaten!"

   "Who beat you?" Jiang Ping'an asked puzzled.

  Xu Damao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

   "I heard from my uncle that he has something to do in the afternoon, so he took half a day off."

   "I went to the bathroom just now, and the uncle hurried to the yard."

   "I asked about it, and then I found out that Jia Dongxu was beaten."
