Chapter 41: Trouble
Jiang Qiao remembered what she had been planning to do before, but she hadn't done it yet, and when she looked at the hot energy outside, there was another layer of worry in her heart.
When the two of them went back, it was a little late, just in time for the big canteen to start eating, Jiang Qiao saw one by one excitedly coming out of the canteen with rice bowls, some sitting on the table to eat, squatting on the ground to eat when there was nowhere to eat, everyone's bowl was full of sharp points, if it was placed at home before, it would definitely not be able to do this, and it was full of aroma.
"Jiang Qiao, you are back, look at it, how good our food is, the rice is with a large piece of meat, where to find such a good food, let you participate in it You don't participate, this time you will suffer, right?"
Wang Tiezhu deliberately stretched the bowl in his hand forward, just to let Jiang Qiao and the others see the two big fat pieces on it.
"Yo, such a good meal, then you use it slowly, and we won't delay your meal." ”
Jiang Qiao went directly to the yard with the basket on his back, and the old man Qiao smiled, "Pillar, eat slowly, the meal is enough, but this stomach is your own, if you hold on, it will cost money to see a doctor." ”
Watching the old and the young enter, Wang Tiezhu's face suddenly sank, "Everything, it's all backward elements." ”
Jiang Qiao didn't pay attention to what Wang Tiezhu said, this person, she didn't hold back any good farts in her stomach, and she felt that it was a waste of time to talk nonsense with such a person.
Go home and cook quickly, but as soon as the meal is ready, the people on the street have issued a notice that the scrap iron collected today is not enough at all, and now every household must pay 15 catties of scrap iron, and it is not negotiable, mandatory.
When Jiang Qiao heard this, he immediately became worried, how could their family have so much scrap iron, and it was not enough for three or two catties, and it cost fifteen catties, isn't it a joke.
The old man was anxious to go around the house, what was there in his own house, could he not know himself, where to get so much scrap iron?
"Grandpa Qiao, don't worry, I'll go out and have a look-"
Jiang Qiao went out to take a look, she wanted to laugh, the big guy took out all the weapons of the eighteenth class, scissors, spoons, pots, and some people even took down the handles and locks on the cabinets to make up the numbers.
Jiang Qiao sometimes really envies these simple and enthusiastic ordinary people, she really can't do this, you said that the pot, you won't need it in the future?
It's originally made of iron, and if you re-melt it, it's not just a waste of labor and resources, in her opinion, it's nonsense.
"Auntie, you don't want a pot at home, and you won't cook in the future?"
The woman said in a natural tone, "What kind of cooking, I will eat in the canteen in the future, this pot is also a decoration, it is better to support the construction of the country, Jiang Qiao, how is your family doing?"
Jiang Qiao smiled bitterly, "Aren't I also numb, Grandpa Qiao is looking for it there, you are busy." ”
Jiang Qiao came back just in time to see the old man picking at the handle of the cabinet, but Jiang Qiao stopped him.
"Grandpa Qiao, what are you doing here, such a good thing, don't destroy it, let's think of other ways, everyone else has contributed to the pot, but our family wants to cook, and we can't send it away." ”
The old man's eyes lit up, "Why don't we go to the canteen and donate the pot?"
Jiang Qiao's eyes glared, "What's the matter, even if you don't cook, we still have to boil water, this matter is not negotiable, I will find a way to go back, you always hurry up and eat." ”
The old man also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"Okay, let's eat, and we'll figure out a way after eating. ”
For dinner, Jiang Qiao's cooking is not ambiguous, doesn't the big canteen eat a slice of meat, their family eats roasted wild rabbits, two more roasted at noon, and stewed two fish, and then she mixed a wild vegetable cold, with meat and vegetarian, and the grandparents and grandchildren feasted happily.
The old man always felt that Jiang Qiao's cooking tasted better than his own, and this time he ate more.
"Girl, you clean up first, I'll go out for a walk and see if anyone has a lot of iron, let's come over." ”
Jiang Qiao didn't say it, but he could figure it out in his heart, just these fifteen catties, not everyone can make it up.
After packing up, she went into the space to check it out, and collected it in a mess, not to mention that she really found a few iron lumps, which she suspected were used to fix the tarpaulin, and this weight was enough for her to deal with the errand.
She also knows that she can't make trouble at this time, the big guys are all responding positively, if they fall behind, what will happen in the future, it will become the focus of others' attention.
Qiao Jie, who came back after walking around, was depressed, it was really like what his granddaughter said, many people, even the cooking pot was taken out, where did he go to find someone, people were difficult, so he didn't want to make trouble for others.
The old man is like this, Jiang Qiao has something he can't understand, "Grandpa Qiao, I've thought of a way, let's go to the countryside tomorrow, maybe they have iron tools over there, no matter how bad it is, go to the acquisition station to find some, let's spend some money, and deal with the matter in front of us first." ”
The old man's eyes lit up suddenly, and his spirit returned, "This is a good idea, I don't think there may be anything in the countryside, there is steelmaking everywhere, let's go to the acquisition station early tomorrow, if we want to go over to find it, it is estimated that there will be nothing for us." ”
I wanted to participate in the big cafeteria just now, so that we don't have to make such a difficulty, now it's okay, our pot is saved. ”
Jiang Qiao smiled, "Grandpa Qiao, just wait, the canteen will definitely not last long, just their way of eating, Yin eats grain, do you think you can persevere? And the boiler, you can watch it when the time comes, anyway, I'm not optimistic." ”
The old man covered Jiang Qiao's mouth, and didn't forget to rush out of the door to take a look, "My little ancestor, you can't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears, just understand it in your heart, and pay attention to what you say in the future, even if you are at home."
This is all living in a large courtyard, once there is eavesdropping, we will be in trouble, be careful of the trouble from the mouth, hurry up to wash, go to bed early, get up early tomorrow. ”
The next morning, Jiang Qiao got up earlier than the old man, and when she got the iron pimple back, the old man was washing.
"Grandpa Qiao, look, the thing is back, I'll cook first, you go over and hand over this thing first, and we'll complete the task." ”
When the old man looked at the things in the back basket, he felt tired for Jiang Qiao, such a heavy guy, how did this kid carry it back?
The old man went to deliver the ironware, don't think that no one will accept things at this time, there are people who are more active than them, Jiang Qiao is not worried about this at all.
But just as the meal was cooked, an uninvited guest came outside - Wang Dahua.
