1014. Food Problems
Sister Hu, I have to discuss this with him," Yang Xiaojin said with a smile, after all, Sister Hu is here to introduce a job, whether Ren Xiaosu wants to go or not is one thing, she has to ask Ren Xiaosu herself.
Sister Hu was anxious: "What you discuss with him, you just look at his lazy appearance, and there will be ghosts if you can go! So don't discuss anything with him, just drive him away." Let me tell you, men are so virtuous, they spend time when they are young, and my family didn't do a good job when they were young, and they knew every day that they were hiding in school to teach, and after the Zong clan was defeated, I forced him to go to the Northwest Army to recommend himself, you see, isn't it good now?"
"No, Sister Hu," Yang Xiaojin smiled and shook her head: "The one in my family is very assertive, I can't persuade him, so let me tell him, you give me three days to think about it, can it be done?" But no matter what, thank you for being so enthusiastic about helping with this." ”
"Okay," Sister Hu sighed, "I'm just afraid that he will delay you." ”
After saying that, Sister Hu went home, Yang Xiaojin suddenly felt that there was more homely here, not only to make their own money, but also to all kinds of neighbors, aunts and old ladies talking about the short of the family, and there was the sound of rubbing mahjong not far away.
There are briquettes piled up at the door of every house, and if someone steals them, they will curse the thief in front of the house in the morning.
Of course, there are relatively few such things as throwing briquettes, otherwise everyone might have moved all the briquettes to the backyard.
In Yang Xiaojin's view, all this is human touch.
Yang Xiaojin returned to the house and said to Ren Xiaosu: "Sister Hu introduced you to a temporary job in the administrative center, will you go?"
Ren Xiaosu couldn't cry or laugh: "What am I doing there, the administrative center is responsible for handling procedures for residents, and I haven't done this kind of thing." ”
"It's all up to you, anyway, I told her to think about it for three days, if you don't want to go, I'll refuse her after three days," Yang Xiaojin smiled: "But I think it's not bad for you to work in the administrative center, so that I can be regarded as a person with backers in the barrier, and I will be very decent when I talk to my aunt and sister when the time comes." ”
"Okay, you can also tease people," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "But I think that after you came to the northwest, you smiled a lot more than before." ”
......
The two of them still get up early every day to go to the vegetable market to sell potatoes, at first Yang Xiaojin sold potatoes cheaper than other vegetable stalls, just hoping to sell faster, but Ren Xiaosu told her not to do this.
Because for them, this kind of livelihood is an experiential life, but for other stall owners, it is a business to support their families.
The stall owners worked hard to bring vegetables from the wholesale market, and the tricycle alone was hard enough, and they didn't make much money in a day.
They still have wives and children waiting to eat at home, and the children's tuition fees are all saved from this dime.
If Yang Xiaojin interferes with other people's normal business because of his hobbies and experience life, it is actually not good.
Yang Xiaojin is not a person who can't listen to advice, so he sells potatoes in the future, which are more expensive than other stalls.
When Yang Xiaojin went home at night, he also sighed: "Although I have also experienced very difficult days, it was all to hone my will, and now I am really slowly beginning to understand the world." ”
When selling vegetables during the day, Ren Xiaosu didn't even read anymore, so he wandered around the vegetable market.
The stall owners looked at him inexplicably, and they didn't know what he was wandering around.
Ren Xiaosu asked about the price of vegetables and meat in front of each stall, and also went to the grain and oil store to ask about the price of rice and noodles.
However, when Yang Xiaojin closes the stall, he will buy some vegetables and meat, and the result is that he always chooses the best to buy, and the best is often the most expensive.
In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, he doesn't need to wronged himself now, when it comes to marching and fighting, he has to eat and sleep in the open air, and if he doesn't eat well now, when will he eat?
However, in the eyes of other stall owners, Ren Xiaosu is a complete loser, after all, you are a person who relies on your wife to sell potatoes to support your family, why do you eat so well.
I'm afraid I'm going to eat all the money from selling potatoes every day, right?! Don't you save money, what if you have children in the future?
On the third day, Ren Xiaosu frowned and returned to the stall and whispered to Yang Xiaojian: "Have you noticed, the price in this vegetable market is the same every day, yesterday the beans were only 2 cents, and today it is 2 cents and 2." This is just vegetables, the price of rice and noodles is even more exaggerated, yesterday it was 1 yuan a catty, today it is 1 yuan 1. Although it is normal for the market price to fluctuate, it has been rising for several days, so I am afraid that there will be a problem. I think the problem of food shortage is getting worse and worse. ”
"Then you said that if there is a food shortage in the northwest, can you buy some grain from the Wang family?" asked Yang Xiaojin.
"I don't think so, you also know how ruthless the Wang family is, the matter of changing hands and pitting fire during the war is vivid, and a large number of refugees fled south and they are indifferent, how can they disrupt their plans because of such a trivial matter," Ren Xiaosu said: "But it's okay, I still have a way to do it at that time." ”
Although the method may not be the best, at least it can ensure that no one will starve to death in the northwest.
Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu's serious appearance and thought, maybe others thought that Ren Xiaosu was wandering aimlessly, but she knew that Ren Xiaosu had already taken on the role of the young marshal of the Northwest at this time, and began to think about how to solve the current problem.
"That's right," Yang Xiaojin suddenly said, "It's time to reply to Sister Hu today, whether you are going to work or not." ”
"Go," Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "It just so happens that I'm also going to see how the Barrier Administrative Center works." ”
In the past, Ren Xiaosu did not have much intersection with the so-called barrier administrative center, and there may have been one or two times, but he also accidentally blew up the so-and-so barrier administrative center, or passed by the roof of the so-and-so barrier administrative center......
He lived in the barrier for a short time, and he didn't know much about the operation mechanism of the barrier, such as the transfer of the house deed, which everyone in the market town just bought and sold orally, and sometimes there would be ruthless people forcibly occupying other people's houses, there was no such thing as a house deed, and the barrier did not recognize the legitimacy of property rights in the market town.
There is also Sister Hu recently asked when they got married, no one in the market town asked that, men and women live together even if they are two people, but they don't need to find anyone to apply for a certificate......
This made Ren Xiaosu feel that he still needed to get to know this place well, because he might have to spend the rest of his life in the northwest.
Moreover, he also wanted to see how Barrier 144 planned to solve the food shortage, listen to it first, this can be regarded as a private interview with Weifu, thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu became interested.
