The Rebirth of the Rain Pillar of the Siheyuan

Chapter 20 Canned Food
He Yuzhu led the cart to a small dilapidated western-style building, and the seal on the courtyard door of the western-style building had long since disappeared.

Passing by this building on the way here, He Yuzhu thought that this place was remote and would be a good place to hide in the future.

The original owner either ran away or was arrested. Seeing He Yuzhu unloading the scooter here, the scooter was flustered. He was afraid that some kind of son of a bitch belonged to the family, so he finished unloading in a very short time, took the fare and hurried away.

Seeing that there was no one around, he put away the round table and jumped into the courtyard, only to find that there was a box of money hidden in the basement of the building.

The building was messy everywhere, many windows were broken, and the ground was covered with dust.

Afraid of leaving too many footprints, He Yuzhu did not dare to enter the house. He put away the cash box in the basement and looked at the intact furniture in each room. With Western-style furniture, you can see that the workmanship is very fine, and the style is suitable for He Yuzhu. I don't really like it, but I just feel that it's a pity to stay here and continue to be dilapidated and finally burned.

Leaving the small building, collecting the dust of all kinds of furniture in the space, sending it out of the space, thinking about the next time people come to the small building, looking at the empty room, I don't know what expression it is.

I was imagining what kind of expression to use to express the scene at that time, and suddenly my heart shook, and the car body shook accordingly.

Jumping out of the car, He Yuzhu stood on the side of the road in a daze, and passers-by all stared at this strange person.

Money, all money!Two hundred bundles of big black picks, 20!The feeling of getting rich overnight made He Yuzhu a little confused.

Pushing the cart and strolling through the streets, He Yuzhu was at a loss, lost motivation, and didn't know how to face the future of life.

Do you still need to work hard when you have money?You can secretly buy a small courtyard, take your sister out of the courtyard, and live a peaceful and prosperous life.

But how to explain the source of the money to buy the house, it can't be explained, what if there is an investigation?Think of movie scenes, electric batons and whips, pepper water tiger stools.

~ You tell me!Are you going to tell me or not! ~
Eh mom!It hurts to think about it.

Cycling around the street, he came to the Dongcheng non-staple food store. He Yuzhu saw that it was quite lively, so he put away his car and walked in.

The crowd surrounded the counter, and He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the products on display.

~canned food

People were amazed that the cannery in Beijing finally produced products. They reminisced about the past and squeezed through the crowd to the counter.

"How do you sell canned fruit?"

A male salesperson with a flat nose stretched out his hand lazily, and asked, "Is there a ticket for non-staple food?"

He Yuzhu took out a handful of bills and waved them in front of the bridge of his nose, squinting at him.

"How much is the fruit? How much is the pork, beef and fish?"

"Fruit is [-] yuan, pork is [-] yuan, beef is [-] yuan, and canned fish is [-] yuan."

I have never seen so many bills with a flat nose, and I answered politely.

He Yuzhu counted the non-staple food tickets in his hand, leaving a dozen or so, and patted the rest on the counter.

"I've bought them all. I want thirty bottles of fruit, five bottles of pork, ten bottles of fish, and the rest of beef. Do the math."

Seeing He Yuzhu's act of throwing coins, the bridge of his nose became more respectful. Not only did he check out quickly, but he also found a large cardboard box to help He Yuzhu put it away. He watched He Yuzhu leave, and the people around him were also stunned.

Buy, buy, buy along the way, milk powder, white rabbit toffee, all kinds of pastries, as long as you have a ticket in hand, you can buy it. After all, some tickets have a deadline.

Look at the time is noon, enter a state-run restaurant to look at the small blackboard recipes, order a pound of dumplings, the dumplings in this era are not like those of later generations, the dumplings of the later generations are filled and skinned together, in this era, a pound of dumplings means The most is a catty of fillings, which is enough to make an adult full.

A catty of dumplings was scattered for two or two, and I walked out of the restaurant contentedly, lamenting the high quality and low price of this era.One bite of a small meatball, this taste has not been experienced for a long time, when was the last time I ate meat dumplings in my previous life?

After strolling around, I came to Pigeon Market in Xichengmen, put away my bicycle, and walked into the crowd with a big basket bought on the road.

The market is much depressed, people seem to be in a hurry, and the figures of sellers are a bit bleak. It seems that stricter control makes people feel a little gloomy.He Yuzhu came to the stall selling rabbits.

"The rabbit seller, do you still recognize me?"

Seeing the blank eyes of the selling rabbit, He Yuzhu pointed to his head and said, "Wangdou, forgot?"

The rabbit seller suddenly became happy.

"Remember, do you want to buy a rabbit?"

He Yuzhu nodded, pointed at the rabbit, and said, "What's the price? I'll cover everything if the price is right."

The rabbit seller was immediately pleasantly surprised. It is difficult to do business now, and the grasp is getting tighter and tighter. Not to mention going to the vegetable market to collect taxes, they must sell at the stipulated price, or they will be fined.

The rabbit seller pointed to the rabbits and said, "I have ten rabbits in this car. If you want them all, it will cost one yuan and five yuan regardless of male or female."

"One piece, two pieces, okay, just pack it up for me."

The rabbit seller was a little hesitant, and begged: "You are adding more, your price is too hard, and there is really no profit."

"At this price, I can't pay a penny more. Don't even think about it. These rabbits are all sold out. When are you going to stay here? Selling them all makes me less money, but it's safe and worry-free."

The rabbit seller thought about it, and he did earn less if he sold it all, but it was about the same as what he usually earns a day. Now he won't be kicked out two or three times a day, as he said, it's better to be safe.

"Okay, I'll sell you all, and I'll go home early."

The moment the basket was picked up, the rabbits were taken into the space one by one, leaving only two in the basket to hide.

I met an old man selling pumpkins again, seeing the old man frowning, He Yuzhu didn't have the nerve to ask if the melons were sweet.

Those who sell chicken, fish, and grain have all been mopped up by He Yuzhu, and there are even those who specialize in selling corncobs. Is it because the cornmeal is not thick enough?

He Yuzhu couldn't help grinning at the price of grain, which was ten times the normal price of grain. Just like that, even if you buy less, you won't be willing to sell it to you.

The uncle next to him, who was about to buy grain, saw that He Yuzhu had wrapped up all the grain, and sighed. He could only afford two catties, and those who sold grain did not sell it.

He Yuzhu couldn't bear to see the uncle suffering, and said, "I'll sell you two catties of grain, do you have anything?"

"Yes, yes" hope lit up in the uncle's heart, and his children finally had a few full meals.

He Yuzhu took the uncle's one or six cents, and poured about ten catties of stick noodles into the uncle's open bag, and the uncle trembled.

"There are too many, comrades, you have too many!"

He Yuzhu closed the bag and turned around to leave.

"Comrade! Comrade, you give too much, give too much!"

The uncle called him from behind, and He Yuzhu disappeared several times.

The uncle's lips trembled and tears poured down.

~ Good man!I wish you a long life and good health, full of children and grandchildren!

The uncle hobbled away with the grain bag on his back.

The food seller looked at this scene, raised his head and blinked, and cursed: "This damn thief!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Carrying an empty basket, He Yuzhu wandered the streets unconsciously. He didn't know how to describe the discomfort in his heart. He just felt stuffy and wanted to shout out loud.

In the previous life, I have never experienced the hardships of survival, and I have been involved with the courtyard all my life.His eyes had never seen the outside world before, and with the help of Lou Xiao'e after opening them, he saw this bustling world.

"Hey! Why don't you have eyes when you walk! Do you know if you hit someone!"

He Yuzhu raised his head in a daze.

~ Lou Xiaoe!

He Yuzhu felt more and more that he was living in a strange circle.

"I'm sorry comrade, I just thought about things and forgot to look at the road."

"Okay, let's walk longer in the future, let's go!"

Lou Xiao'e felt that the person in front of her was strange, so she waved her hand to signal to leave without thinking too much.

He Yuzhu became more and more in a bad mood, took out his watch to check the time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to catch the rain.

Walking into the empty alley, I saw that no one took out their bicycles, and they rode slowly towards the school. There was a singing voice that no one had heard before~ "I am a wolf from the north, walking in the deserted wilderness ..."

He always picks up his younger sister, and has long been acquainted with the gatekeeper of Hongxing Elementary School.

"Uncle Zheng is here to smoke one."

He stepped forward and hurriedly took out his cigarettes. After lighting the fire, the old and the young were smoking and chatting.

On the street in front of the school, two women in their forties had an argument.

I don't know if it's because of the anger, or the poor service quality of the man at home, the two of them got louder and louder, and finally started to fight.

Scratching his face to dig out the ditch, pulling his hair out and pinching the headlights, He Yuzhu's body was also twitching, and in the end the two of them hugged each other and covered the ground.

Both He Yuzhu and the uncle forgot to smoke, and their eyes followed the inadvertent spring light revealed by the two of them. This belly is not good, and there are too many sacs.

It's so cruel, how can you pinch such an expensive headlight, and you still bite it.

He Yuzhu grinned at the sight, and passers-by rushed up to pull the tumbling two away.

Seeing the end of the battle, He Yuzhu was very disappointed and felt that there should be a sequel or a second part.

The janitor next to him muttered.

"I haven't taken off my clothes yet, what are you doing, do you owe me? Is it easy for me to watch a play?"

I didn't expect you to be such an uncle!He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing "chichi", the uncle stared at him and said:
"What are you laughing at, why don't you just stay here? The principal and director have to say hello when they come in and out, they have to ring the bell before and after class, they also have to burn lunch boxes for students and teachers, deliver newspapers and sort letters, which is not the job of the doorman. "

He Yuzhu was stunned. He didn't expect that the school gatekeeper had so many things to do. It seemed that no job was easy.

The uncle looked at the time through the window, went back to the room, picked up a long hammer, and walked towards the big bell hanging on the tree trunk. With the crisp "dangdang" sound, the students rushed out of the classroom.

He Yuzhu is also ready to welcome his sister.

The younger sister walked with Xie Di from the family of the third grandfather, Yushui sat in the frame of the car, Xie Di sat in the back seat, listened to the story of the school told by the younger sister, and returned to the courtyard.

"Thank you, Brother Zhuzi!"

Seeing Xie Di come home happily, this little girl never talked to her before, nor played with her younger sister. She must have looked down on her brothers and sisters, but now she doesn't laugh or talk to herself. The effect of eating meat last night is obvious. Same as usual.
