Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 74 Yi Zhonghai’s Anxiety (Chapter 410 on the shelves)

  Jia Dongxu couldn't do it after all.

   Hearing that Jiang Ping'an said that Mrs. Jia and Zhang were fine, he was skeptical.

  Finally, he gritted his teeth and carried Jia Zhang home with all his strength.

  The stick stem is better. It has tenacious vitality. Although it is listless, it can still walk by itself.

   "I guess there will be trouble!" Jiang Pingan walked up to Yi Zhonghai and reminded him in a low voice.

  Yi Zhonghai frowned, sighed, and said:

   "It's really troublesome. Once Mrs. Jia and Zhang come back, there will be no peace in our courtyard."

   "Isn't it? There are still two or three days before customs payment!" Jiang Pingan nodded.

   "Now the Jia family doesn't have a grain of food, how do they live?"

  Yi Zhonghai thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't be starving to death in a few days, and it will be fine after the payment is closed."

  Now every household has no food surplus.

  Even if a hospital-wide meeting is held to help the Jia family, no one can provide food.

   Originally, his family still had a few catties of food left over, so they gave it to Jiang Ping'an in the morning.

   "It won't get better even if the salary is closed." Jiang Ping'an whispered.

  Yi Zhonghai shrank his pupils when he heard the words, looked at Jiang Ping'an and said, "You mean..."

   "Well, didn't you know about it long ago?" Jiang Ping'an nodded.

  As Jia Dongxu's master, Jiang Ping'an did not believe that Yi Zhonghai did not know what Jia Dongxu had done.

  As for why Yi Zhonghai didn't dissuade Jia Dongxu, Jiang Ping'an didn't know Yi Zhonghai's specific thoughts.

   Seeing Yi Zhonghai's face change, Jiang Ping'an said again:

   "My lord, there is no way for the Jia family to continue like this."

   "It will affect the reputation of our courtyard, and it will also bring down the atmosphere in the courtyard."

  Yi Zhonghai nodded, hesitantly said:

   "Ping An, you have a quick brain, what can you do?"

   "Well, there's really no good way to do this." Jiang Pingan shook his head.

   "Ten bets and nine loses, as long as Jia Dongxu continues to gamble, even if he has a lot of money, he can't stand the toss."

   "Even if the people in the yard help their family."

   "If you can help for a while, you can't always help."

   "Everyone is having a hard time right now."

   "If the old man comes forward, call on everyone to help Jia's family."

   "You don't even need to guess, the big guy will definitely feel resentful.

   "If someone starts a fight, it will be difficult to keep even your position as a uncle."

   "This..." Yi Zhonghai's heart tightened.

  Just as he was about to speak, Liu Haizhong saw the two whispering, and came up curiously.

   "Old Yi, the situation of Jia's family is obvious. We need to have a plan for how to deal with it."

   "If this family starves to death in our yard, we have made progress for many years, don't even think about it."

  Yi Zhonghai frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't have any good ideas."

  Jiang Ping'an was right. As long as Jia Dongxu continued to gamble, the Jia family would have nothing to eat.

   As for blocking Jia Dongxu, the first is to persuade him in private.

  But if Jia Dongxu listened to the persuasion, he would have been persuaded.

  It's not that Yi Zhonghai didn't try to persuade him, but it didn't work.

   He agreed quickly, turned around and went to gamble secretly again.

   There is another way, that is to send Jia Dongxu to the street office, security department or police station!

   Let the public deal with it.

   But if it is possible to send it, someone has already proposed it.

  Things are back to the original point. Once Jia Dongxu is sent, the advance of Siheyuaner will be lost.

   Don't look at it as just an advanced.

  But in this era, people pay attention to collective honor, sometimes even more important than life.

  The collective honor of the advanced courtyard house was obtained by countless people through countless efforts.

  For this honor, many things can be tolerated and obey the overall situation.

  In addition, advanced courtyard houses also have real benefits.

  At the end of each year, the street will distribute many prizes such as expensive rice noodles and tarpaulins, which can be distributed to every household.

  After being distributed to each household, although the quantity is not much, it can still eat a few meals.

  The key is that you have face when you say it. Living in an advanced courtyard house, you have a very bright face.

   Even if a young man is looking for a wife, the woman will look differently when she hears that the courtyard house is advanced.

  The first impression is very important. With this advanced aura, people in the courtyard can get convenience in many ways.

   Even Jiang Ping'an, who heard that he was assigned to live in an advanced courtyard house, laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

  Although his intestines are regretful now, he was full of expectations at the beginning.

   Thinking about being able to live in an advanced courtyard house, most of the residents in it should also be qualified and enlightened, right?

  Who knew there was a litter of beasts inside?

   See, this is the importance of reputation.

   Liu Haizhong frowned and said: "But we can't ignore this matter, can we?

   "God knows that Jia's family has nothing to eat, what kind of trouble will happen to their family in the yard!"

   "If they dare to make trouble, they will drive Jia Zhang back to the countryside!" Yi Zhonghai raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

  Jiang Ping'an said: "It's useless to rush back to the hometown!"

   "Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu have rural household registrations, but they don't earn work points."

   "The production team has relief food, but they can't get it!"

   "So this is a knot, and the person who tied this knot is Jia Dongxu."

  Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "Ping'an is right, the crux of this matter lies in Jia Dongxu."

  He sighed, and continued: "It would be great if Qin Huairu had an urban household registration!"

   "In this way, her two children can also have urban household registration, and the Jia family can have more food quotas for several people."

  Jiang Ping'an smiled, but didn't speak.

  Liu Haizhong didn't know all the information, and thought that the Jia family was short of food because of the small food quota.

   Didn't even know that the Jia family was defeated because of Jia Dongxu, and the matter was more serious than imagined.

  Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed, and he pondered: "The three of us will think about this matter carefully."

   "By the way, Ping An, you can come over later, we can always think of a way by brainstorming."

  Jiang Ping'an didn't refuse, and was about to answer when he heard Jia Zhang's screams of ghosts and wolves coming from the middle courtyard.

   "Ah! My life is so miserable!

   "Old Jia, come quickly and take me away!"

   "I can't live through this day! God! Why are you so cruel!"

   "Let me die! I'll be clean when I die, don't worry about it!"

   "..."

  Yi Zhonghai was furious and said angrily:

   "What is the Jiazhang family doing again? They don't know what to do when they get home!"

   As he spoke, he hurried to the middle courtyard.

  Jiang Pingan followed closely, approached Yi Zhonghai, and reminded him in a low voice:

   "It is estimated that Jia Dongxu's matter, Jia Zhang knows!"

  Yi Zhonghai nodded and understood instantly.

   This Jia Dongxu is also a bachelor. Knowing that the family's money has been lost, it is impossible to hide it from Jia Zhang.

  So when Jia Zhang woke up, he knelt straight on the ground and confessed.

  Ms. Jia Zhang suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and she felt dizzy.

  She panicked and found the money box under the bed.

   After opening it, I found that it was empty except for a handkerchief wrapped in money.

  Suddenly, my heart is broken, and I have the heart to die...

  —————

   "Jia Zhang, what are you arguing about?"

  Yi Zhonghai stood at the gate of Jia's house and yelled.

   Mrs. Jia Zhang looked outside the door and saw a crowd of people.

  But at the moment she is in the face of anger, and she can't care so much, so she yells:

   "Yi Zhonghai, I'm arguing about my own affairs, what do you care about?"

   "If you want to be free, donate some food to our family!"

   "I just found out that Dongxu has been hungry for several days, and I haven't seen you helping me. You are so cruel!"

   "Each of you saves a morsel of food, which is enough for our family to eat for a few days. Why don't you help?"

   "Yi Zhonghai, what a fool, hold a meeting of the whole courtyard and let everyone in the courtyard help our family!"

   "..."

  Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Every household is short of food now, and it's not just your family that has no food!"

   "Stop messing around in the courtyard, if it affects the progress in the courtyard, you will be driven to the countryside!"

   "Don't quarrel anymore, if we quarrel again, the three uncles will really hold a meeting of the whole hospital!"

   "It's not to help you, but to drive you away! If you are brave enough, try it!"

  Ms. Jia Zhang woke up instantly and dared not say anything.

  Yi Zhonghai took a few glances into the room, snorted coldly, turned and left.

   "Don't surround yourself. If you have that spirit, you might as well go back to the house and lie down, saving your energy!"

   Everyone dispersed in a rush.

  Jiang Ping'an, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui came to Yi Zhonghai's home.

  The four of them sat down to talk, and after the aunt poured hot water for everyone, she went out to see the deaf old lady.

  Yi Zhonghai pondered and said: "As far as I know, Jia's rations for next month are gone."

   "What? This is impossible?" Yan Bugui was surprised.

   "Will it be a few days before the rolling mill will close the salary?"

   "Even if Jia Dongxu made a mistake, he won't be deducted food!"

   Liu Haizhong also asked: "Old Yi, is there anything else we don't know?"

  Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, but told about Jia Dongxu's gambling.

   This matter cannot be kept a secret, not to mention Jia Dongxu's gambling, everyone in the yard has heard about it.

   It’s just that everyone only cares about themselves, trying to find ways to survive.

   But he didn't have much energy and cared about the Jia family's affairs.

   After listening to Yi Zhonghai's narration, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were dumbfounded and speechless.

  They all know that Jia Dongxu likes to gamble, and they have seen Jia Dongxu sneaking out several times.

  But they really didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would not even lose all his family savings, but also put in next month's rations.

  Yi Zhonghai sighed, and said: "I have persuaded Dongxu many times."

   "But he agreed face-to-face, turned around and went to gamble again. I persuaded him several times but failed, so I didn't persuade him again."

   "After Jia Zhang and the others went to the countryside, Dongxu intensified, and their family savings were lost during this period."

   "By the time I know about this, it will be too late."

  Yan Bugui raised his glasses and pondered: "Jia Dongxu's matter can only be resolved in the courtyard."

   "We can't lose our advanced because of him."

   "It's not long before the Chinese New Year. My family points to the rewards distributed on the street. Let's have a lively New Year!"

  Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "Yes, we must attach great importance to this matter, advancement is not easy."

   "If you lose it, it will not be easy to get it back."

  Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "That's why I called you over to give advice."

   "Let's see if we can think of a proper way to make Dongxu stop gambling!"

  Next, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong came up with a lot of ideas, but they were all rejected by Yi Zhonghai.

  Jiang Pingan listened on the sidelines without saying a word.

  If Yi Zhonghai didn't call him over, he wouldn't want to get involved in this matter.

   But now that everything has passed, he also pondered it in his heart when he listened to the conversation of several people.

  Seeing that although Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong talked a lot, they just didn't mention the key points.

  Yi Zhonghai finally couldn't bear it and said to Jiang Ping'an: "Ping'an, you can help out with ideas too!"

   "Three uncles, I have just figured out the Jia family's affairs." Jiang Ping'an nodded and pondered.

   "Although the matter happened to Jia Dongxu, it's not impossible to make him stop and stop gambling!"

  Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the solution? Say it safely!"

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "We all went into a misunderstanding just now, and we only thought about how to stop and persuade Jia Dongxu."

   "But as long as we jump out of this circle of thinking, there are many ways."

   "Come out and think?" Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself, thinking deeply.

  Jiang Pingan nodded, not in a hurry to speak, watching the three of them pondering.

  After a while, the three of them raised their heads at the same time, extremely excited, and said at the same time: "Jia Zhang!"

  Jiang Ping'an clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, it's Jia Zhang."

   "Jia Dongxu is a bastard, and only Jia Zhang can control him!"

  Yi Zhonghai said excitedly: "Not bad."

   "Only by asking Jia Zhang to take care of her son, the Jia family can survive!"

   "Haha, Ping An's mind is quicker, and he can figure out the key points at once!" Yan Bugui laughed.

  Liu Haizhong also nodded and said: "No wonder Ping An gets along well with the leader!"

   "With this brain, I would like to have such a subordinate!"

  Jiang Ping'an laughed, not even being ashamed.

  After everyone laughed, Yi Zhonghai said happily:

   "The next step will be easy. Later, the three of us will go to Jia Zhang and explain the matter to her."

   "From now on, all the money of the Jia family will be in the hands of Jia Zhang, and only a few yuan for Dongxu's meals every month will be enough."

   "As for the Jia family's rations for next month..."

   "After the payment is closed, I will come forward and go to the courtyard, and each household will borrow some. It should be able to tide over the difficulties."

  Yan Bugui said anxiously: "Old Yi, we agreed in advance that our family has no food to borrow!"

   "Don't worry, I won't ask you to borrow it. Knowing that you have a lot of family and little income, it's not difficult for you." Yi Zhonghai nodded.

  Yan Bugui heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "That's good!"

   "It's okay if I give you an idea, but it's hard for me to borrow money and food."

   Liu Haizhong hesitated and said: "Old Yi, our family doesn't have much food left..."

  Before he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai unexpectedly said:

   "Old Liu, you are the second uncle. With such a high salary and quota, you won't starve to death if you borrow some food!"

  Liu Haizhong sighed, and said helplessly, "Okay, then I will borrow five catties, no more."

   "Ten catties! You and I both borrow ten catties. Even if the other residents in the courtyard can borrow, it won't be too much." Yi Zhonghai cut the iron.

   "So we have to solve the big problem. At least we need to borrow thirty-three catties for the Jia family, so that it will be safe."

   Liu Haizhong frowned again, and after a while, he nodded slightly unwillingly.

   Looking back, Yi Zhonghai said to Jiang Ping'an:

   "Ping An's food is not enough for myself, so don't borrow it."

   Liu Haizhong was suddenly dissatisfied and said, "No, what does this mean?"

   "Pingan ate fine grains every day, what happened to him borrowing a few catties of coarse grains?"

  Jiang Pingan answered slowly:

   "Because my life is hard, how tired is it to go to the countryside? How can I not eat enough?"

   "Besides, I'm just an ordinary resident in the yard, and I'm not an uncle. It would be great if I could help out with ideas."

   "You can't let me give advice, but also cross the river and tear down the bridge to borrow food from my family?"

  —————

  Jiang Ping'an is fully fired.

   It was just a sarcasm to Liu Haizhong, and his face was flushed red and ashamed.

   "Good! Good! Good! If you don't want to borrow it, don't borrow it!" Liu Haizhong finally couldn't help it.

  Jiang Pingan laughed and said, "It's rare that the second uncle understands."

  The corner of Liu Haizhong's mouth twitched, he drank the hot water in front of the table in one gulp, got up and left.

  Yan Bugui next to him was silent, he never liked to stand out.

  The family has low income and lacks confidence.

   It would be nice to be able to attend such a meeting. I'm afraid I'll get involved in the matter of paying money and food.

   After the meeting was over, Jiang Pingan greeted Yi Zhonghai and left.

  The next thing has nothing to do with him, he just wants to live a good life.

   When he came to the courtyard, he met Xu Damao waving to him in the corridor.

  Jiang Pingan walked over, wondering: "What's the matter?"

   "Why are you discussing about the Jia family?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "How else can we discuss it? Shouldn't the people in the compound help Jia's family?"

   "By the way, your family will definitely have to borrow food."

  Xu Damao pursed his lips, disapprovingly said:

   "Then let the three uncles go to work with Ezi, as long as Ezi agrees to borrow food, I don't care."

   Now, apart from taking ten yuan from Lou Xiaoe every month, he has nothing to do with family affairs.

   Even his salary was collected by Lou Xiaoe on his behalf.

   Fortunately, when he went to the countryside to show movies, he still received three melons and two dates from time to time, and there was no fixed amount.

  However, he could only steal half of it back to his hometown and hide it, and bring the other half back to Lou Xiaoe honestly.

  He didn't dare to be too greedy.

  If Lou Xiaoe finds out something is wrong if she goes too far, she can search it carefully after returning to her hometown.

  Jiang Pingan snickered, it was his idea to let Lou Xiaoe control the family's economic lifeline.

  It's not that Xu Damao has never resisted, but this kid has three tricks.

   It didn't take much effort at all, just let Jiang Ping'an make an idea, and Lou Xiaoe came forward to clean up.

   "Then your family will definitely not borrow food, sister Xiao'e is tight!" Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

  Xu Damao raised his eyebrows, and said, "That's right, don't you see whose daughter-in-law it is!"

   "Let's not talk about anything else, your Sister Ezi is a good housekeeper, and you rarely let the people in the yard take advantage of you."

   "It's because you are thick-skinned and stalking, that's why Ezi let go."

  Jiang Ping'an gave a thumbs up, laughed, and said, "On this point, you, Xu Damao, really have a vision!"

  Xu Damao became even more proud when he heard this, and said that he would have a few drinks with Jiang Ping'an at noon.

  After chatting with Xu Damao for a while, Jiang Pingan saw He Yushui at the door of his house and looked at him furtively.

  Knowing that He Yushui wanted to talk to him, Jiang Pingan stopped chatting with Xu Damao and waved his hands back home.

  When the front foot reached home, He Yushui followed.

   "Yan Jiedi came to clean your room again?" He Yushui asked with a smile after scanning the room.

  Jiang Pingan picked up a small bench, handed one over, nodded and said:

   "Yeah, she came over after we ate."

  He Yushui took the bench and sat down, nodded and smiled:

   "She is quite diligent, and the corners and corners are also cleaned in place."

   As she spoke, she glanced outside the door, and offered to reach out to Jiang Ping'an for him to play with.

  Jiang Pingan took her hands, rubbed them together, leaned forward and asked softly, "Is there any more?"

   "No...no more." He Yushui bit her lip, her little face flushed red.

  Jiang Pingan took a deep breath, laughed, and asked again, "Did you wash it?"

   "Well, I washed it early in the morning, and just washed it again in the room." He Yushui lowered his head and said in a voice like a mosquito.

  Jiang Ping'an took her hand, got up and said, "Come on, let's go to the house and talk for a while."

   "Hmm... you want to do that again?"

  He Yushui hummed softly, his face flushed like an apple, and he couldn't help asking in a low voice.

  Jiang Pingan laughed, turned around, and asked softly, "Don't you like it?"

   "If you don't like it, I won't bother you, okay?"

   "No, I...I like it..." He Yushui said quickly, for fear that Jiang Ping'an would have an opinion.

  The two came to the inner room, Jiang Pingan put down the curtains, and motioned for He Yushui to sit on the edge of the bed...

  …

   "It's a bit cold!" He Yushui let out a long breath, his eyes blurred.

  Jiang Ping'an stood up, tidied up, and said with a smile, "Get dressed quickly, don't catch a cold."

  He Yushui hummed softly. After getting dressed, he went out to pour hot water again, and the two secretly washed in the house.

   "Ugh...cough cough..." He Yushui retched again and again, his little face turned pale.

  Jiang Pingan rinsed his mouth and washed his face again, then stepped forward and asked with concern:

   "How is it? Sore throat?"

   "Well, it's a little itchy, and it will be fine in a while." He Yushui nodded slightly, took the water glass and gulped.

  Jiang Pingan smiled, smoked a cigarette and lit it. After He Yushui finished rinsing his mouth, he handed over a towel.

   "I'm having dinner at Xu Damao's house at noon, so leave me alone." Jiang Ping'an reminded.

  After He Yushui washed his face, he nodded and said, "Understood, is it Miss Xiao'e's treat again?"

   "Well, it's her. Xu Damao wants to invite me, but I'm not willing to go!" Jiang Ping'an pursed his lips.

  He Yushui grinned, nodded and said, "He's just a bad bastard, you should avoid dealing with him."

  The two packed up and went outside again.

   "I'll wash the towel and washbasin for you, and pour the waste water into the bucket. You can pour it yourself." He Yushui urged.

  Jiang Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, remember! We are not once or twice."

   "Hmph, every time you come back from vacation, you will become Fang's mess with me."

  He Yushuiqiong wrinkled her nose slightly, snorted softly, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyes were smiling.

  Jiang Pingan took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, smacked his mouth and said:

   "I can't help it, who told you that you are fragrant? You are really fragrant!"

  He Yushui covered his mouth and smiled lightly, blushing and silent, his clear eyes looked at Jiang Pingan with love from time to time.

  After everything was cleaned, it was getting late, He Yushui reluctantly said goodbye and left.

  Jiang Ping'an stretched his waist, followed by walking out to Xu Damao's house.

   "Are you hungry in Ping An? Xu Damao is cooking, just wait." Lou Xiaoe said with a smile like a flower.

  Jiang Pingan stepped forward and replied with a smile, "I'm a little hungry. The bowl of rice noodles in the morning doesn't make me hungry."

  Lou Xiaoe smiled and said, "Then you should eat more at noon, and don't drink too much wine."

   "That won't work, you have to eat, you have to drink!" Xu Damao brought a plate of food and said, putting it on the table.

  Lou Xiaoe rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Then you drink it yourself!"

   "Every time I drink, I can't drink much, but it's so noisy that even Ping An also drinks too much."

  Xu Damao shook his head and said aggrievedly: "It's not my fault, it's because he doesn't eat!"

   "I don't blame you or anyone, anyway, you are not allowed to persuade Ping An to drink today!" Lou Xiaoe said fiercely.

  Xu Damao pursed his mouth and said: "Cut, drink it or not, I keep my good wine, and I still don't want him to drink it!"

  —————

   Full of wine and food.

  Xu Damao lay on the table and snored.

  Jiang Ping'an and Lou Xiao'e smiled at each other, their eyes gradually became hot.

  Lou Xiaoe pursed her lips, her face was shy and flushed, and she whispered:

   "Close the door first, I will wait for you in my room."

   "Take off the quilt for Xu Damao, or you'll catch a cold." Jiang Ping'an suggested.

  Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes, pouted her lips, and said angrily, "You are the only one who cares about him."

   Complaining, she went into the room to get the quilt, and threw it on Xu Damao to cover it.

  Jiang Ping'an came back after closing the door, frowned and said, "It doesn't work like this, I'll still catch a cold."

   "I don't care, I don't care." Lou Xiaoe threw herself into Jiang Pingan's arms and acted like a baby.

  Jiang Ping'an was speechless, unable to laugh or cry.

  Pushed her away, then walked over, and lifted Xu Damao to the small bed in the bedroom.

   "This bastard, if I hadn't sympathized with him, I don't know how many times he would have died!"

  Jiang Pingan cursed softly, turned around and came to settle accounts with his wife.

  Things have a beginning and an end, and there is always an end.

  Lou Xiaoe lay in Jiang Pingan's arms with a sweet face, and after a while, she asked in a low voice:

   "Xu Damao told you that he wants to go to the Northeast?"

   "Well, I'm also surprised to say that this kid doesn't know what's going on, and suddenly wants to follow him to the northeast." Jiang Pingan nodded and frowned.

   At this moment, he still can't figure out why Xu Damao is going to the northeast.

  The only thing he can be sure of is that Xu Damao is definitely not going to play.

  Lou Xiaoe covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's about my dad."

   "About your father? What is it?" Jiang Ping'an asked puzzled.

  Lou Xiaoe said: "Our family has two timber factories in the Northeast. After the public-private partnership, the profits have been declining year by year."

   "My dad felt that it was meaningless to work hard and make less money, so he wanted to dispose of the shares."

   "My family is busy now, and I can't send someone with a confidant to deal with this matter, so I want me to go."

   "Let Xu Damao know about this, so he wants to follow and get some benefits from it."

  Jiang Ping'an suddenly said: "Let me just say, Xu Damao has always been a master who has no profit and no early childhood, so it is like this!"

   "But I'm surprised. Your father has been in business for so many years, so he should have quite a few subordinates, right?"

  Lou Xiaoe nodded, and replied: "In the past, there were quite a few subordinates, but later they all turned around and became masters."

   "All of my dad's business now only holds shares and does not participate in the operation."

   "Because of this, there are few people available, and many things must be done by myself, so I am extremely busy."

   "Otherwise, how could he be willing to make me tired and go to the northeast?"

   "But having said that, you really have to deal with such an important matter as shares, and you really have to go to your family. Outsiders don't worry."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and said: "That's right, then Xu Damao just go with you?

   "The big deal is to ask for leave! Why does he want to go with us?"

   "Hee hee, I don't agree to take him with me, and I don't give him travel expenses. If he wants to go, he has to find another way?" Lou Xiaoe said with a smile.

  Jiang Pingan laughed loudly, bit her nose, and said:

   "The co-authoring thing still happened to you?"

   "Hee hee, I'll follow what you said, and keep Xu Damao from knowing how much money the family has." Lou Xiaoe laughed.

  Jiang Pingan nodded and said: "Well, it seems that you have listened to what I told you."

   "Because you are doing it for my own good, of course I want to listen." Lou Xiaoe whispered as she rubbed against his arms.

   After talking for a while, the two got up and got dressed.

  Lou Xiaoe went to wash the dishes, Jiang Pingan said hello, then left.

  Come to the courtyard, light a cigarette, the surroundings are extremely quiet, even the children don’t come out to play around.

  Jiang Pingan sighed softly, walked back, and met three uncles from Jia's house in the middle courtyard.

   Stepping forward, Jiang Ping'an asked, "Master, are you done?"

   "Well, it's done." Yi Zhonghai nodded and replied.

  Liu Haizhong pursed his lips and said: "The Jia Zhang family is eager to be in charge of the family."

   "I used to be afraid that people in the courtyard would say that she had a feudal heritage and acted arbitrarily, so I handed over the money to Jia Dongxu."

   "Now that our three uncles have come forward and lent her a month of emergency food, how could she not agree?"

  Yan Bugui echoed: "Now that Mrs. Jia Zhang is watching, Jia Dongxu should be more responsible."

   "Dogs can't stop eating shit, but they should be able to take care of it for a while." Jiang Ping'an pursed his lips.

   "It's just the grain lent to Jia's family. I'm afraid they won't be able to get it in a while."

  Yi Zhonghai pondered and said: "I have made an agreement with Jia Zhang, and I will pay back the money directly. I will lend her thirty catties of grain and pay back six yuan."

   "Will she agree?" Jiang Pingan asked in surprise.

  Now the market price of stick noodles is about 10 cents a catty, and white flour is 30 cents a catty.

  The black market price of a catty of Beijing food stamps is three yuan.

  The black market price of a catty of national general food stamps is four yuan.

  The black market price of a catty of Beijing flour tickets is five yuan.

  It is ridiculously expensive, and the key is still unavailable. (Recorded in "Beijing Archives and Historical Materials")

  In the era of scarcity of supplies, food stamps became a valuable gift.

  Go to the hospital to visit patients and leave ten catties of coupons. They will thank you for a long time.

  When you are a guest at someone’s house, you must also bring food stamps, otherwise it will make things difficult for the host.

  So, if you really want to repay the debt at the black market price, if the Jia family borrows 30 catties of grain, they will have to pay it back.

  Yi Zhonghai and the others only asked Jia Zhang to borrow one and repay two, and it is said that Jia Zhang made a profit.

   But that person has never been unreasonable, and she still cursed at others for giving it away for nothing. Why did she agree?

  Liu Haizhong interjected: "Can she not agree? If she doesn't agree, she will be starved to death!"

  Yan Pugui smiled and took out the IOU, handed it to Jiang Ping'an, and said:

   "This is what Jia Dongxu wrote just now. He borrowed two yuan from each of our three uncles for emergency, and we will pay back the salary."

   "Originally this was not in compliance with the rules, but today this matter is not in compliance with the rules at all. We can only ask him to write the IOU first."

   "Otherwise we wouldn't agree to help their family. In the end, Jia Zhang gritted his teeth and urged Jia Dongxu to write."

  Jiang Pingan nodded with a smile and said, "Then you have to pay close attention to prevent Jia Zhang's refusal."

   "It's easy, pay for food and money, and we'll be on guard against her, hehe." Yan Bugui smirked.

  Jiang Pingan gave the three uncles a thumbs up and praised:

   "This matter is well done, how about saying that the three uncles are all human beings?"

   "You boy, are you complimenting us?" Yi Zhonghai scolded with a smile on his eyes.

  Jiang Ping'an asked doubtfully, "Then I praise you for being strong and healthy?"

   "Yes, I won't talk to you!" Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and walked away.

  Yan Bugui couldn't laugh or cry, pointed to Jiang Ping'an and said:

   "You did it on purpose. I don't believe you, a technical secondary school student, can't even find a few decent words."

   After finishing speaking, he also turned and left.

  Liu Haizhong didn't leave, he seemed to be looking for Jiang Ping'an for something.

   Sure enough, after Yan Bugui left, he asked Jiang Ping'an in a low voice:

   "Ping An, you have a wide range of ways, can you get some chicken, pork or something?"

   "Second uncle, what do you mean?" Jiang Ping'an asked puzzled.

   Liu Haizhong looked around and found no one, and then explained:

   "It's not that my family Guangqi wants to find a job."

   "I have found a way, but there is nothing decent to send."

  Jiang Pingan pondered and said: "Second uncle, if there is a ticket, I can think of a way, if there is no ticket..."

   "I have a ticket, I have been preparing for this for a long time." Liu Haizhong said hastily.

   "I have tickets, but I can't buy anything, so I want to ask you for help."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help with this. What do you want to do?"

   Liu Haizhong blurted out without thinking, "Two roosters, two catties of meat, ten catties of eggs..."

  ——————

   This person is in the bangs.

  Besides love to flirt with authority and beat his own children, he doesn't have too many problems.

  Of course, it's true that you're brainless.

  In order to become an official, his bottom line is lower than he imagined.

  Jiang Ping'an has lived in the fourth courtyard all these years, but Liu Haizhong has never felt sorry for him.

   On the contrary, even if Liu Haizhong was unwilling, he still lent a lot of money to Jiang Ping'an.

  So as long as it's not too embarrassing, Jiang Ping'an is willing to return favors.

  After listening to the quantity of things Liu Haizhong said, Jiang Ping'an fully agreed.

   "When do you want it?" Jiang Ping'an asked.

  Liu Haizhong's face was overjoyed, and he secretly thought that he really begged the right person, and hurriedly said:

   "It would be best if I could get it today, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and smiled, "Then you go back and bring the money and tickets, and I'll go out and help you do it later."

   "You wait for me in the alley next to our courtyard in an hour, and I will bring you the things!"

  Jiang Ping'an intends to show off his ability to Liu Haizhong. In front of this kind of person, he must be convinced.

  Jiang Ping'an can easily obtain things that are difficult for others to obtain. This is his skill.

  Liu Haizhong was refreshed, his eyes lit up, and he said happily:

   "Okay, you really have a long way to go, wait a moment, I'll go back and get the money ticket."

   "I'll wait for you at home, it's too conspicuous to stand here." Jiang Ping'an reminded.

  Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "Alright, I'll send the money ticket to your house later."

   "Don't worry, the second uncle will remember this favor!"

   "If you have anything to do with me in the future, I won't refuse you in the slightest."

   As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and went back to the backyard to collect money tickets.

  Jiang Pingan smiled, turned and went home.

   Soon, Liu Haizhong came and handed the money ticket to Jiang Ping'an.

  Jiang Ping'an counted and found that there were many money tickets, which was the same as He Yuzhu's situation last time, but he still reminded:

   "Remember, don't say anything about this matter, I also want to get in with favors, not everyone's help."

   "Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut, knowing that things are hard to get these days." Liu Haizhong promised.

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and pushed his bicycle out the door.

   "Well, I haven't made out with Liu Lan for a few days, I miss her."

   Speeding all the way, I came to the room where I had a secret meeting with Liu Lan, and saw her sleeping soundly under the quilt.

   It seems that it has been a long time.

   Time was a little tight, so Jiang Pingan didn't say much. He took off his clothes three times, got into bed, and threw himself on it.

  …

  Forty minutes later, Liu Lan's mouth was dry, he let out a long breath, and asked:

   "You're a bit rushed today, is there anything you need to do?"

   "Well, someone asked me for help, and I came here to see you in a hurry." Jiang Pingan nodded.

   Liu Lan didn't ask too many questions, but just told:

   "The salary will be closed in a few days, don't forget to give me the stick noodles!"

   "Don't worry, remember everything!" Jiang Ping'an smiled.

   Liu Lan smiled knowingly, leaned into his arms, and said leisurely: "I really want you to stay with me for a while."

   "The future will be long, the future will be long..." Jiang Pingan laughed.

   Liu Lan rolled her eyes and suddenly said something.

   "By the way, Deputy Factory Manager Li can't make up his mind with me, and now he is eyeing the cook, Widow Zheng."

  Jiang Ping'an said unexpectedly: "Widow Zheng? I heard that she has a very strong temper!"

   "No matter how strong you are, you can't stand the hardships of life, let alone the stalking by Deputy Director Li."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Then you should keep an eye on them and find out their whereabouts."

   "Well, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it and won't let you down." Liu Lan said with a smile.

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "If you can catch Deputy Factory Manager Li's handle, I will give you an extra five catties of stick noodles every month from now on!"

   "Really? Don't go back on your word!" Liu Lan cheered up and said pleasantly.

  Jiang Pingan nodded and replied, "I'm here with you, but I've never said anything different."

   Liu Lan giggled and said excitedly:

   "Just look at it, as long as Deputy Factory Manager Li dares to mess around, I will definitely make a contribution!"

  Jiang Pingan smiled, looked at his watch, and found that the time had passed, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

  In the alley next to the courtyard house.

   Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi waited anxiously, looking left and right from time to time.

   "Dad, Jiang Ping'an really has such a wide career path?" Liu Guangqi asked curiously.

  Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "It's wider than you imagined, and you know a lot of people."

   "Even Yi Zhonghai doesn't know exactly how wild this kid is."

   "However, the year before last, Yi Zhonghai was almost punished by the head of the production section, and he finally settled with Jiang Pingan."

   "From this incident, you can see that this kid is still very well connected and resourceful."

  Liu Guangqi nodded, and said impatiently: "It's been an hour, right? Why haven't you come yet?"

   "What are you in a hurry for? It's so difficult to get supplies these days. Even if he can deliver them before dark, he's a great deal!"

   "That's true." Liu Guangqi nodded and smiled.

   "Speaking of which, the more important the matter, the more capable the person will be.

   "Today, I'll see if Jiang Ping'an is really that evil."

  Liu Haizhong pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then just widen your eyes!"

   As soon as the voice fell, Liu Guangqi pointed at the entrance of the alley and said in surprise: "Here we come!"

   "Hey, do you know that I didn't lie to you?" Liu Haizhong smiled straight, and stepped forward to greet Jiang Ping'an.

  Jiang Pingan parked the car, took a sack from the back seat, handed it to Liu Haizhong, and looked at Liu Guangqi a few more times.

   "Second uncle, take a look at the things, handle them carefully, there are eggs in them."

   Liu Haizhong took it with both hands, opened the rope tied to the sack, and took a closer look inside.

   "Not bad, whether it's a rooster, pork or eggs, the color is very good, thank you for your safety."

  Jiang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "The matter is done. I won't admit it when I get out of this alley."

   "Okay, I understand this." Liu Haizhong nodded in response.

  Jiang Pingan smiled and nodded, picked up the car, turned around, pedaled and left.

   "Second uncle, don't forget to return the sack!"

  Leave a sentence, and disappear at the entrance of the alley like the wind.

   Liu Guangqi looked excited. With these things, his work will be settled without accident.

   "Dad, Jiang Ping'an was really right by you!" Liu Guangqi sighed.

  Liu Haizhong glanced at him and asked, "Now you know why I borrowed money from him?"

   "I know, isn't it just to let him owe our family favors? Isn't this going to come in handy?" Liu Guangqi said with a smile.

   "Dad, you still have a plan. If you know how to set up the road first, and then ask Jiang Ping'an to do things, it will be easier to talk."

  Liu Haizhong shook his head and said: "It's not that I have a plan, in fact, many people in the courtyard think so too."

   "These days are hard, who doesn't have a difficult time? If you have difficulties and ask for someone, you must find the right person."

   "A savage like Jiang Ping'an, let him owe favors, only make money, not lose money."

   As he spoke, he patted Liu Guangqi and said earnestly:

   "Guang Qi, you still have a lot to learn!

   "I'll teach you a truth today, don't burn incense when you are free, and hug Buddha's feet when you are in a hurry. Those Buddha's feet are not easy to hug."
