Siheyuan: After Hu Qinhuairu was cut off, I lay flat

"Brother, I just heard from Lao Yan that you brought Li Wuwei back, why did you walk with him again?"

He Daqing doesn't believe that his stupid brother's brain can stop Li Wuwei, so it's better to keep contact with him less.

"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence. Brother Li is a good person. Brother, this is the money I earned today. Save it for me."

Cai Quanwu handed over the money. He originally earned one yuan and two, but thinking that he came back late and the account was wrong, so he added two cents, so he handed over one yuan and four.

He himself has more than a dozen yuan in change, which is convenient for giving change to customers.

"Okay, brother will help you save to marry a wife."

He Daqing opened his mouth, three people worked, and he took care of the money alone, even if the stupid son had to buy a bed, wouldn't this be a waste.

Sha Zhu made the bed, and walked over cheerfully, "Dad, Xu Damao will have a drink this Sunday, when will you marry a wife?"

Shazhu has already figured out that his father is going to find a stepmother, as long as people don't run away, he and Yushui can't live without their father.

"It depends on whether you can meet the right one."

At this age, He Daqing wants to find a widow, at least not worse than Bai Hehua!

He doesn't know how his lotus is doing, maybe one day he will regret getting it back.

"Did the Xu family ask you for a drink?"

Shazhu and Xu Damao didn't deal with each other and didn't want to take the job.

"Please, the five yuan we negotiated is the same as Li Wuwei's family last time. I also negotiated two yuan for you. I will save this money for you."

Thanks to He Daqing's foresight, the last time it was free, he also said five yuan to the outside world.

Silly Zhu was speechless, thinking he would bring two extra lunch boxes and come back with them decorated.

……

"Li Wuwei, are you awake? Get up soon, it's almost time..."

Dimly, Jia Zhang's old face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which startled him and woke him up.

It was only then that it was Jia Zhang who was yelling outside the window.

"coming!"

After a while, Li Wuwei left the house with a washcloth on his shoulders, carrying a kettle and a basin. This basin was a gift from Xu Damao last time, and it was really good.

"Jia Zhang, it's too early for you!"

I saw Mrs. Jia Zhang waiting at the door, and said, "Hey, it's already half-morning, and the other family is about to cook lunch. You agreed to teach my Bihua how to step on the sewing machine."

"I can't forget, I'll rinse my mouth first, and you help me rinse the face wash, don't get too hot."

As Li Wuwei said, he handed the basin to Mrs. Jia Zhang. Since he pulled the stool for him at Jia’s house last time, he found that Mrs. Jia was actually good at taking care of others, but he was lazy and wanted to enjoy life at a young age. up.

But Jia Zhang is really well-raised. After the big mother is gone, she is still there, and she is still so energetic that she can eat meat until the finale.

"You are really lazy!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang read a few words, knowing that this bad boy has a thick skin and is lazy all day long, but this is also good, and sooner or later he will have to live a hard life.

Several aunts in the backyard saw it and couldn't help pointing. Even the deaf old lady went out to look at it for a while, a little unbelievable.

Li Wuwei was standing at the laundry table rinsing his mouth, and Jia Zhangshi was waiting beside him with a big red porcelain basin, which almost made people think that he was hallucinating.

After a while, Li Wuwei washed his face slowly.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was in a hurry, so she put away the basin and mouthwash cup and so on, and helped to dry the face towel.

"You can go now, the whole morning is almost over."

"Let's go! Mrs. Jia Zhang, I'm not bragging for you. 183 Yesterday I went to a tailor shop to learn for a day, which made me improve again. I learned a few new styles, which are the new spring styles in Beijing this year.

When your daughter-in-law learns it, I will make you a new dress, and when you wear it out, you won't be envious of the aunts.

Only two families in our courtyard have sewing machines, and they are upper-class residents, so they have to help each other in order to have a good life. "

Li Wuwei also thought about it. Before, he felt that Jia Zhang could not do any work, but after careful observation, he found that he could still be influenced and help him with work.

"Yes, what you said is correct. My old Jia's family has always been an upper-class resident. If Lao Jia hadn't disappeared, it would be no worse than your uncle's family."

The Jia Zhang family has always wanted to carry the honor of the Jia family, but they can't act on their own, and they are all counting on their son and daughter-in-law.

"I know this. Uncle Jia was also a capable person back then. If he was still alive, he might be a great uncle."

That's what Li Wuwei said, but he thought in his heart, if it weren't for Jia Zhang's being too dishonest, Lao Jia wouldn't have died early, and he must be a third-level fitter even now.

The two walked through the middle courtyard talking and laughing, making Aunt Chen, Erniang Sun, and even the first mother dumbfounded.

But he quickly realized that even Jia Zhang's family had been tricked, leading wolves into the house?

"Bihua, come quickly, Li Wuwei is here, didn't you bring yellow grass from home, and make a cup for him."

Jia Zhang can call people, and he starts to keep in good health when he arrives at home.

"coming!"

Chen Bihua was happy to see Li Wuwei coming, and quickly came over with a teacup.

"Brother Li, this yellow grass can protect the liver and remove dampness. You often drink alcohol, so drink some of this."

Li Wuwei recalled it for a while, but he remembered what it was. He had it in the market, and the price was 25 catties, which was the price of later generations, and it was quite a good thing.

Holding the cup, he saw that Mrs. Jia had pulled out the stool and was waiting beside the sewing machine.

That's good, I think his brothers Dongxu didn't get this kind of treatment, right? .

Chapter 98 Food shortage, public-private partnership

Li Wuwei has discovered the benefits of having a good skill, and he can get along wherever he goes.

I took a sip of the tea slowly, but luckily it was quite delicious, not too bitter.

"Mr. Jia Zhang, it is right for your family to buy a sewing machine. This thing keeps its value, and it is very convenient for sewing and mending..."

He really put his heart into teaching. If Chen Bihua really put his heart into learning, even Jia Zhang's age is not very old, and life will be easier after he learns it.

You can charge [-] cents for making a short-sleeved summer dress for others, and autumn and winter clothes are more expensive. Isn't it delicious to exchange white noodles for free?

However, there is no need for Jia Zhang to count on it, lazy!

An hour later, Chen Bihua was able to step on the sewing machine and start it, but the coordination of his hands and feet was not good, and he sewed poorly.

After observing for a while, Li Wuwei came to the conclusion that Chen Bihua was not as smart as Qin Huairu, and he was right after thinking about it, his wife is a young expert in the Gu family.

At noon, he didn't eat at Jia's house and was about to go out to eat out, when he suddenly thought of something else.

"Jia Zhang, did the old Xu family invite you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiazhang's original good mood disappeared immediately, and he yelled: "Why didn't you invite him? His old Xu's family has the face to come. He didn't come to my house last time, and I won't go to his Xu's house either."

"I said it's wrong for you to think that way. If you didn't invite the Xu family, it's because the old Xu family is immoral. You're justified.

But if you don't go, you think your Jia family is poor.I think you can occupy a table early, and if he really wants to make trouble, you can just say that the uncle helped you.

Go eat hard and come back, if you can't finish eating, you will pack it up, Lao Xu and his wife have moved away, afraid of offending others. "

Li Wuwei thought to himself, he should keep his eyes open that day, and don't share the same table with Jia Zhang, otherwise the soup will not be mixed.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up, "Oh, you're the one who can do it, you're so right, I have to eat it back, so as not to make the Xu family feel better."

"I didn't say anything. Well, you let Bihua practice hard, and those who don't understand come to me for help. This daughter-in-law Dongxu is really good and capable."

After Li Wuwei finished speaking, he left and went out to eat a bowl of stewed soup. How should I describe the taste? It's not bad.

When it was over, he went to pick up the bicycle. Chen Xueru would not be in the store now, just to let the little rich woman calm down and don't really think about him.

"Yo, sister Xu is back!"

When he returned to the courtyard, he met Xu's mother, which was really a coincidence.

"Li Wuwei, it's just in time for you to come back."

Mother Xu's face was a little flustered, and she quickly said: "Isn't our family Da Mao going to serve wine? I went to the grain store to buy grain today, but I couldn't buy white noodles after going to several stores.

After finally finding one, the price has increased by two cents, and there is not much food in stock.I can't take it by myself, why don't I hurry back to the courtyard and find some people to help' 々. "

"Is there a shortage of food?"

Li Wuwei was stunned for a moment. He just remembered that the capital began to issue food stamps at the end of this year, but he didn't know exactly when and how it was done.

"Sister Xu, don't worry, Old He's family has a tricycle for him to carry food, and my bicycle can also carry a few bags.

By the way, why don't you call a cart, it's also convenient, just pull it to the yard and let everyone help move it. "

Xu's mother hurriedly said: "I didn't see a cart master on the street today. Lao He went out on a tricycle, and Lao Cai will come to help immediately."

"Okay, let's find a few more aunts, and let's carry it back with manpower. This is what everyone eats, and I can do my best."

Li Wuwei didn't cheat anyone at this meeting. The staple food for the banquet was related to the food and drink of the whole courtyard. It would be really immoral for him to do it.

Besides, if you have a good relationship with Xu Damao's old lady, Brother Damao will not be able to turn over.

"Your second aunt and the others are coming soon, and they are all called. Everyone wants to go out and sell food. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it later, so you have to buy some for storage."

Xu's mother usually likes to calculate, and found that she bought good things secretly by herself, but this time she was not ambiguous, they were all hungry people, and knew that it was not good.

Soon, I saw Lao Cai coming out wearing a coat collar, which was left behind when he was a nest necker before.

The aunts also flocked out. Everyone had little food left, so they had to hurry up when they heard the news.

"Sister Xu, you talk about the place, I'll take you there first to carry out the food first, regardless of whether it's expensive or not, I guarantee the wine first, my brother Da Mao's banquet can't be bad."

Li Wuwei felt that the lack of food this time was not normal, because he went to the street to settle accounts on the second day, and there was nothing wrong with the supply chain.

"Hey!"

Xu's mother quickly gave the address and got on the back seat of the bicycle. She was in the backyard every day and watched Li Wuwei grow up.

But no one else has cheated on her family, so they are willing to help at this critical moment.

Li Wuwei rode his bicycle and traveled quite a distance to reach the grain store he was talking about. Nowadays, in addition to the state-run grain station, there are thousands of private grain stores in the capital.

This is a problem left over from history. More than 200 million people in the capital need to eat, and there are fewer grain stores.

But since ancient times, grain stores have been relatively poor. It is common to collect at low prices in good harvest years and sell at high prices in disaster years, earning the difference.

Maybe this time the private grain store was doing the trick. If that's the case, it can only be said that they are courting death, and they still don't understand the superiority of socialism.
