The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 196, borrowing food
After listening to her father's explanation, Qin Huairu understood the plight of her mother's family, so she looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, hoping that he could help her mother-in-law to say a good word, even if there was no food for thirty catties, it would be better to give a few catties for emergency ah.

It's just, unfortunately...

Jia Dongxu turned a blind eye to her begging eyes, and just sat there drinking tea with a gloomy face, showing that he didn't want to meddle in her natal family's affairs.

Jiazhang's was similar, holding his precious grandson, sticking to his eyes and watching his heart, pretending that he didn't hear the old man Qin's complaints, and teasing his eldest grandson on his own.

Old Qin took one look at the behavior of Jia's mother and son, and knew that it would be useless to stay any longer. He could only pat his daughter on the shoulder and said apologetically: "Hey Xiaoru, dad can't forgive you. I'll give you more money." Sorry for the trouble, forget it, I’ll think of a solution and let’s go.”

After finishing speaking, the old man Qin picked up his bag and prepared to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly grabbed the old man Qin who was going out, choked up and said, "Father, it's already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the bus has stopped, how do you go back, why don't you rest here for a night before leaving .”

Old man Qin looked up at the darkened sky, hesitated for a moment.

"Hey. Our house is small, but we don't have a place to sleep. If you want to stay overnight, you have to find a way." Jia Zhang said with a worried expression, dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's self-assertion.

Jia's house is only about [-] square meters, and the family of five lives together, separated by two compartments.

On one side, Jia Dongxu and his wife slept with Xiao Dang, and on the other side, Jia Zhang slept with a stick. It would be very inconvenient to add another person.

Old man Qin's face froze, knowing that he was not welcome, he took a deep breath and was about to leave in anger.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu still held him back and dragged him all the way towards Shazhu.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to find a way to let her own father stay overnight at a neighbor's house.

Looking through the entire courtyard, the only ones who have spacious homes and can accommodate people are Shazhu, Xu Damao and Li Weiguo, but in terms of speaking well, Shazhu is the only one.

Qin Huairu pulled Old Qin to the front of Sha Zhu and looked at Sha Zhu expectantly.

The young woman of the Jia family was weak and weak, with a haggard look on her face, which immediately made Shazhu feel bad. Before she could ask for help, Shazhu spoke.

"Hey Sister Qin, my house is spacious, it's not easy to go back today when it's getting late, or let Uncle Qin deal with it with me overnight." Silly Zhu said with a smile.

"Silly Zhu, I'm sorry." Qin Huairu gave him an apologetic look.

The pretty young woman looked over, and Sha Zhu suddenly felt that the bones in her body were two catties lighter: "It's not troublesome. Between neighbors, it's easy to do, hehehe"

Li Weiguo and Yushui looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, but did not stop him.

Then, Shazhu diligently helped take Old Man Qin's robe and welcomed him into the house. Upon seeing this, Li Weiguo and Yuyu followed him in.

With Qin Huairu and the old man Qin gone, the Jia family's good show was over. After a while, the neighbors in the yard left one after another with still not enough to say.

Shazhu's side.

After Qin Huairu helped old man Qin into the house, Shazhu put him in the left compartment.

He Daqing used to live in the compartment over there. Although it has been vacant for so many years, the bed and quilts are all complete, and it is just enough for old man Qin to settle down.

After temporarily settling down, the old man Qin sat by the bed, took out a small packet of shredded tobacco and a small piece of manuscript paper, and rolled himself a local cigarette.

Silly Zhu saw, how could he smoke so many cigarettes, he quickly took out a pack of [-] cents big cocks from his pocket, took out one and handed it over.

"Uncle, you smoke me this."

Old man Qin took it politely: "Thank you, young man. I'm sorry to trouble you today."

"Hey, you're out of town, aren't you? You are Sister Qin's father, and you are one of our own in our courtyard. No need to worry about anything, just stay here." Silly Zhu took out a match with a smile, and struck a match. He clicks.

Old Man Qin took a deep breath of his cigarette and sighed deeply when he thought of what he had experienced today and the difficulties his family would face in the future.

Qin Huairu, who was at the side, saw that her father was still worrying about the food, so she came over to give him a pat on the back, and comforted him: "Father, don't worry about the food, I will find a way to borrow some for you. "

"Well, everyone is having a hard time now. Where can you borrow it? Besides, if you don't have to repay it, your mother-in-law will be happy?"

"Don't worry about it, I will find a way to pay it off." Then Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu: "Si Zhu."

Well, pretty young women are fools when they have things to do.

This call made Sha Zhu's bones crumble.

Coupled with her big teary eyes, she looked like I saw You Lian, and immediately Shazhu was fascinated, not knowing who she was, and she agreed.

"Sister Qin, don't worry, it's only thirty catties of food, don't worry, I'm here."

"Silly, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." Qin Huairu gave Shazhu a grateful look.

"What a big deal." Silly Zhu waved his hand, feeling proud.

The heroism is the heroism, but [-] catties of food is not a small amount, a one-month ration for an adult, and as soon as he agreed, Sha Zhu regretted it a little, and he was not sure whether he could resist it.

Silly Zhu made a quick calculation in his mind, the family had a ration of [-] catties, and he would save a meal in the cafeteria at noon, so he only needed to eat one meal a day. The brothers and sisters should save a little, and the remaining rations should be able to survive until the end of the month to distribute the ration.

So he did what he said, and Shazhu immediately went to rummage the grain vat.

Li Weiguo, who was standing aside watching the play, couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw his decision.

This loser has never seen a woman in his eight lifetimes. He immediately disarms a pretty young woman when she bursts into tears without any resistance at all. No wonder he was eaten to death in the original drama and cheated for the rest of his life.

Sha Zhu opened his own grain tank and saw that there was only a shallow layer of stick noodles in the tank, which looked like two or three catties.

There are still some sweet potatoes in the other tank next to it, but not much, only four to five catties, which is the ration of the two brothers and sisters these days.

At this time, Sha Zhu remembered that the food stamps at home are managed by rainwater, because the food station is far away, and the rainwater can’t take too much at one time. Every time I buy about fifteen catties, I will continue to buy after eating, so I keep food at home. Not many.

Seeing that there was not enough food, Silly Zhu turned his head and shouted to Yushui: "Yushui, where are our food stamps? Quick, bring me thirty catties of food stamps."

Hearing his stupid brother's decision, Yushui lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, deeply entangled.

It's not that she is cruel and unwilling to borrow food, it's just that the environment is difficult and life is difficult for everyone. Although her stupid brother is a cook, his rations are not much more than others.

The brother and sister only had a ration of sixty kilograms a month, and now they had eaten part of it. If they borrowed another thirty kilograms at once, the brother and sister would have to tighten their belts in the next half month.

"Why are you still standing there? Get the food stamps quickly." Seeing her not moving, Shazhu frowned and urged directly.

"Oh"

Yu Shui pouted, and reluctantly went back to his room to get food stamps for him.
