Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 182 If you want to borrow food, you must first become one of your own

The food was leftovers from Jianguo and Jianye, two steamed buns with two noodles, and a small half plate of cabbage and scrambled eggs.

The eggs are fried with tomatoes. Even though they may look like vegetarian dishes, in these days and months, this is definitely a good dish.

Especially the scrambled eggs, which can be considered half a meat dish.

Ding Qiunan was still holding it at first, but after taking the first bite of the dish, the look of him devouring it was the epitome of this era.

Qin Huairu felt a little emotional. If she hadn't come to the city and become her brother's little wife, her life would have been worse than this.

Let's just talk about Zheng Hongying, who came with her. She is becoming more and more distressed now, and she has endless work to do every day.

If Silly Zhu hadn't brought back some food from time to time, he wouldn't have starved to death, but there was no way he would be in the shape he is now.

Of course, it's not a good figure, but a well-fed look of wealth.

"Eat slowly and I'll get you a glass of water."

While talking, Qin Huairu poured a glass of water for Ding Qiunan.

"Brother, let's go out and chat?"

"You can't buy much food now even if you go to the black market, and it's extremely expensive."

"Well, brother Yan, don't make things difficult for me. Ten pounds is the most. If it's more, you should be taken away."

Li Xiuzhu was not surprised when he heard this, knowing that Ding Qiunan was here to seek help.

"When I come back from outside at the end of the year, I will be able to leave some food for my brother, but the price of food will not be much cheaper."

But he couldn't open this hole. If everyone came to borrow food, he wouldn't be able to borrow it.

"It's all right."

At this time, Li Xiuzhu also walked out.

Yan Bugui sighed. He naturally knew this truth, but he had no idea.

At the same time, Qin Huairu and Ding Qiunan were also talking about this matter at Li Xiuzhu's house.

Yan Bugui nodded melancholy. He could only barely live a full year with ten pounds.

After all, the two of them didn't leave the courtyard. When they arrived at the front yard, Yan Bugui called him home.

Ding Qiunan is still a silly boy. Although his studies are okay and he is pretty, he is really short on knowledge and not very smart.

But it was hard for him to say this. He glanced at Qin Huairu and Qin Huairu understood instantly.

"Brother, I also know that this is embarrassing for you, but there is really nothing I can do about it."

“All the refined grains at home have been replaced by coarse grains, but even so, I still can’t get enough.”

"Second uncle, are you here?"

"I really can't help it. I have plenty of rations at home, but I got a batch for the superiors, but I don't know how they arranged it."

"I suggest you keep an eye on the grain distribution station or the black market these days. Part of this batch of grain will definitely leak out, otherwise you can only wait until the end of the year."

He swallowed hard for a moment, his eyes filled with envy.

When Ding Qiunan heard this, he stopped quickly and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "My family has had little income in the past two years. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't survive, I would be too embarrassed to come see my brother."

"My family won't be able to afford it once this happens."

All the grain he got was handed over, and it would not be good if there was too much leftover.

Li Xiuzhu shook his head.

Ding Qiunan didn't hide it any more. She nodded and said, "Sister, our family can't survive. Let alone meat during this period, I haven't even seen vegetables or rice at home."

As soon as he entered the door, Li Xiuzhu asked, "Brother Yan, are you planning to borrow food?"

Qin Huairu understood immediately and did not refuse. Instead, she said, "Second uncle, are you going to invite me in?"

"Whoever lends or refuses to lend will offend others."

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment when she opened the door.

Hearing this, Yan Bugui had no choice but to say, "Okay, then you can leave more for me."

Li Xiuzhu sighed and did not agree directly. Instead, he said, "Brother, do you know how many people live in our yard?"

"Hey, Qiu Nan is here. I haven't seen you in a few years."

"Qiu Nan, you eat first, I will tell you after you finish."

Seeing that Ding Qiunan was so secretive and didn't know what to say, Qin Huairu asked directly: "Are you here to borrow food?"

Yan Bugui smelled the aroma of the food before he opened his mouth. He glanced at the back room and immediately saw Ding Qiunan eating.

"Brother, this is a problem for me."

Yan Bugui glanced at Li Xiuzhu sheepishly, and just when he was about to speak, Li Xiuzhu said first: "Huairu, my brother and I will go out and talk. You can take care of Qiu Nan."

Ding Qiunan responded and continued to eat. Before he took a few bites, there was a knock on the door.

Yan Bugui nodded quickly, looked at Li Xiuzhu with earnest eyes and said, "Brother, I have no choice but to ask you for help."

Yan Bugui nodded quickly and said, "Okay, you can also go to my house to chat."

Li Xiuzhu said that he had already pulled the Thousand Layer Bottom and came out.

"Sister, please lend us some food from you and my brother."

Qin Huairu shook her head bluntly when she heard this.

"I want to help you too, but there isn't much food in the house, and when it comes to borrowing it, all the food is borrowed."

"Do you know what you should avoid every time there is a disaster?"

"It's taboo to give away food."

"Unless you have absolute force to prevent yourself from being robbed, it is a crime to possess a treasure."

"Although it's a peaceful time now, you can still offend people, you know?"

In just a few words, Qin Huairu made Ding Qiunan, who had never seen the world, feel embarrassed to speak.

Just when Ding Qiunan thought there was no hope of borrowing food, Qin Huairu suddenly changed the topic and said: "So, if you want to borrow food, you must have a name."

Ding Qiunan's eyes lit up, he immediately raised his head and asked, "What's your name?"

Qin Huairu smiled, obviously so beautiful, but it made Ding Qiunan feel a chill down his back.

"If we were our own family, we could give you some food."

"My own family? Do you want me to accept brother Xiuzhu as my real brother?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu looked at the silly Ding Qiunan, as if she saw herself and Chen Xueru back then.

"Is Sheng Ge my relative now? Let alone Sheng Ge, you are my Sheng Daddy. If you don't kiss me, you won't kiss me."

Ding Qiunan was thoughtful, but still couldn't figure it out.

Qin Huairu looked at Ding Qiunan and said helplessly: "Isn't getting married the best choice?"

Ding Qiunan was startled when he heard this, and asked subconsciously: "But isn't my brother married?"

"Then how many wives has my man married?"

Ding Qiunan suddenly understood after hearing this. Is this how we became a family?

She is willing to do this. Her brother Li is so good-looking and he even saved her life.

"Sister, I am willing to marry my brother."

Qin Huairu was paused when he heard this. The plot seemed a bit too fast? She hasn't performed yet.

"Here, you can just enter the house without asking for evidence."

"The main reason is that most of our family are Hong Kong Island residents. It will be a little troublesome to apply for certificates here."

Ding Qiunan was startled when he heard this.

"Hong Kong Island nationality?"

"Correct!"

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't say any more, Ding Qiunan didn't ask any more questions and said bluntly: "Sister, I will listen to you no matter what you say. Just tell me what to do." Qin Huairu smiled after hearing this. .

"Okay, then you can stay here first and let our man take you back tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ding Qiunan hesitated. Seeing Ding Qiunan's hesitation, Qin Huairu's face changed slightly.

"you are not willing?"

"Ah, no, I'm just afraid that my parents will be worried." Ding Qiunan quickly explained and added: "I told my parents that I was here to borrow food, and I didn't say that I would spend the night."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Yes, it's really difficult to stay out alone at night."

"Well, why don't you go back first and make an agreement with your uncle and aunt to come back tomorrow?"

Qin Huairu's meaning is very obvious. If you don't see a rabbit, you won't let the eagle fly, and if you don't eat the rabbit, you will definitely not give food.

At this time, Li Xiuzhu came back.

Seeing that the two were still chatting, he smiled and said, "Sorry, someone was looking for me just now. Why are Qiu Nan here today?"

Ding Qiunan glanced at Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu said, "Qiunan would like to borrow some food."

"When I thought about it, we are all a family, why should we borrow it?"

"After she passes the door, can we still leave her home alone?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled. This didn't seem right, but one look at Ding Qiunan's pretty face made him wonder whether he should just go with the flow.

"Well, that's what it means."

"What does it mean now?"

Qin Huairu said: "It doesn't mean anything. It's just that Qiu Nan is afraid that her parents will be anxious, so she wants to go back and have a look first. I'll take Qiu Nan to the station."

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "Wouldn't this phone call inform you? Do you still want to go back?"

"And even if we have to go back, our family still has a car. Wouldn't it be nice if I gave it a ride?"

Qin Huairu was startled, looked at Ding Qiunan and said, "I forgot, now the communes in the village have telephones."

"Then Qiunan, do you want to make a call or go back?"

Maybe Qin Huairu's eyes were too sharp, so Ding Qiunan didn't dare to look at Qin Huairu's eyes, and said quickly: "Just make a phone call. I have never used the village commune phone number, but I almost forgot."

"It doesn't matter, I forget from time to time."

Since I have to make a call, I might as well not stay in the courtyard today. It would be better to go to Maoer Hutong to get things done.

This shows the benefits of having more houses, especially more private houses.

This might have been reported in other places, but in the yard of my own house alone, I was making random noises.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu coming with Qin Huairu and Ding Qiunan, Jiang Meiying and others were stunned for a moment.

No outsiders have come here for several years, and the sudden arrival of a new person made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is?"

Although she knew that she would not come here if she was not a woman at home, Zhou Xue couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Meiying, on the other hand, even though she saw the person, she just stood up with a smile and did not go out to greet him or ask.

Before Li Xiuzhu could speak, Qin Huairu said, "This is sister Qiunan. Have you forgotten, sisters? The girl our man saved before in Shidu."

Hearing this, Ruan Qingqiu's eyes lit up.

"It's you. You are welcome to come to our house to play."

Hearing this, Zhou Xue pulled Ruan Qingqiu and said, "Qingqiu didn't mean that. She doesn't like to think too much."

"Qiu Nan, this will be your home from now on."

"You and Qingqiu both share Qiu, which is a rare fate."

Only then did Ruan Qingqiu realize what was going on. Hearing this, he said sheepishly: "I didn't mean to welcome you."

Ding Qiunan hurriedly said: "I know Sister Qingqiu, thank you for welcoming me."

Ruan Qingqiu then smiled again and said, "Sisters are all very nice and welcome you. Let me introduce some sisters to you."

This introduction can only be made to those present here, as many of you are not here today.

Xu Damao had just returned from the countryside. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he immediately heard the mutterings of his aunts.

"Da Mao, are you back from going to the countryside?"

"The harvest is good."

Xu Damao smiled, glanced at the garlic bulbs, single bunches of small mushrooms, etc. tied to the bicycle, and said: "It's all the work of the mountain people, no matter how full they are."

In fact, there was some chicken or something, but Xu Damao didn't take it back.

Those who go to the village to show movies and hold receptions are often held in the poorest families. When people cry about poverty, he can't stand it.

In addition, it is a disaster year and food is even more scarce, so those who cry the most are the ones crying the most.

Of course, there are benefits. After all, such families are usually the homes of widows.

And the widow must be a good-looking widow.

Although he can't do anything now but pretend to be Liu Xiahui, it feels good to pretend to be a gentleman.

Xu Damao asked curiously: "What are you talking about, aunts? It's been a long time since I've seen you so lively."

Hearing this, Zheng Hongying said: "Someone came to Brother Li's house today. She is a beautiful girl, no worse than your wife."

"We are here to talk about what the relationship between this person and Brother Li is."

"Xu Damao, do you think she came to Brother Li to borrow food?"

Zheng Hongying's words stunned Xu Damao for a moment.

Then Xu Damao said: "Hey, who has so much surplus food these days?"

"Although my Uncle Li's family has Aunt Xueru who earns more, most of them don't work and can only eat food from the city."

"But you all know that there isn't much food, so don't think blindly."

No one believed what Xu Damao said.

Although what Xu Damao said is true, everyone believes that any family may be short of food, but the Li family will not be short of food.

If nothing else, you can tell just by looking at the red faces of Jianguo and Jianye.

But it was okay for them to think about it, but they definitely couldn't say it.

At this time, Yan Bugui's daughter-in-law, Third Aunt, said, "The Li family is also out of food. My old man wanted to borrow some food today, but Li Xiuzhu said he didn't have any."

"In my opinion, you really think too much."

Hearing this, everyone was startled. The young daughter-in-law of the Qian family looked at the third aunt and asked, "The second uncle didn't borrow food either?"

Everyone in this yard knew that the Li Xiuzhu family was on good terms with the Yan family. If Yan Bugui couldn't borrow it, he might really be out of food.

The third aunt knew a little bit about the inside story and knew that a batch of food would be arriving in the near future, but she was not stupid and did not say this.

"Yeah, my family didn't borrow any food either."

"Hey, it's because my family didn't listen to advice back then."

"In the middle of last year, Li Xiuzhu asked my family to buy more grain for storage. However, my family was only thinking that food prices would fall back, so they didn't buy it."

"Hey, he is so regretful now that his intestines are blue with regret."

After hearing this, many people looked at the third aunt with a hint of gloating.

At the same time, I was even more disbelieving.

Li Xiuzhu took such a long-term view, it was impossible for his family to have no food.
