Chapter Ninety-Two: Sweet Potatoes
Xu Damao had a good time drinking at Cui Dake's place, and finally it was late, so he staggered back to the opposite compound.
Cui Dake washed up and was about to go to bed when Qin Huairu's footsteps came from outside.
After Qin Huairu entered the house, he pleaded:
"Dake, you must help me."
"My mother-in-law's younger brother Zhang Laosan has to get food from us."
"Otherwise, he won't leave."
"Not to mention, if there is an extra person in the family, how much will it cost to increase every day, if someone starves to death over there, we can't help it."
After Qin Huairu's description, Cui Dake understood the cause and effect of the incident.
It's nothing more than the famine at the moment, and Zhang Laosan's family in the countryside is about to be unable to open the pot, so they have no choice but to go to the city to find their sister to ask for relief food.
The second sister Su Zhang's son and daughter-in-law are all teachers, and the conditions are relatively good, and Zhang Laosan, who is familiar with the situation of the eldest sister's family, first looked for the second sister.
But Zhang Laosan didn't expect that in this era, not only is life in the countryside not easy, but life in the city is also tight.
If you have money and no tickets, you can't buy a lot of food, Su Zhang's thought that her eldest sister Jia Zhang's son died of a work injury, and it is estimated that there will be some compensation, so she brought Zhang Laosan over.
Su Zhang's?
Cui Dake thought about it again and again, I haven't heard of any sister in this Jia Zhang family.
Cui Dake was originally a farmer in Nantai Commune, and he was really not optimistic when he knew the situation in the countryside.
If Qin Huairu's family hadn't been for He Yuzhu's help, there would have been problems long ago, and Qin Huairu's top class would only be able to take place after the year.
There is no surplus food to support Jia Zhang's family.
Jia Zhang's may have one or two hundred yuan for her son's casualty allowance, but it was her coffin book, and she still pointed to this money to buy painkillers.
And even if you are willing to pay, it will be in vain, because it is difficult to buy food without food stamps.
There is only a small amount of food every month, and there is not enough food at home, so it is impossible to have a surplus.
If you want to buy food, you can only go to the pigeon market to buy it, you can do without food stamps, but the price will have to be doubled.
Jia Zhang really had no choice, so in the end, he was cheeky and called his daughter-in-law and asked her to help find a way.
Uncle Yi's salary is high, but he can't conjure up so much grain, ask him to borrow it, even if it depends on the relationship between the neighbors, it is not enough to borrow ten or twenty yuan.
The first master is like this, not to mention the others in the courtyard.
Qin Huairu didn't have a rut, thinking about it, there was only one person who had the ability to help with this.
That's Cui Dake.
She told her mother-in-law her thoughts, but Jia Zhang's didn't believe it at all, this little Cui Da had this ability, and he hadn't settled the accounts with the dumplings he ate at noon.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to express his stance and let Jia Zhang's figure out his own way, how could Jia Zhang's have any way, so let Qin Huairu come over and take a look, the dead horse was a live horse doctor.
Hearing this, Cui Dake smiled.
The more difficult the situation in your family, the better it will be for him.
It is best for Jia Zhang's family to fall into a desperate situation and fall to the point of exhaustion, so that he can arrange it more easily.
In these days, money is really not everything, and food is hard currency.
Looking at Qin Huairu, who I still pity, Cui Dake walked around with his hands improperly and said: "It's not a big problem, I have a bag of sweet potatoes, estimated to be seventy or eighty catties, which can be given to you, but you have to learn to ride a bicycle first." ”
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, this Cui Dake does have the ability, so much food, he can actually take it out.
The latter sentence made her heart feel cold again, and she waved her hand, "No, Da Ke, it will really be seen by my mother-in-law, or I will make an IOU, and I will pay it back to you when the conditions are comfortable." ”
Cui Dake nodded and shook his head: "Also, your mother-in-law is a roadblock, so how about I arrange for someone to go on a blind date with your mother-in-law and marry her off?" ”
Qin Huairu was stunned: "Marry your mother-in-law?" ……”
Cui Dake's face was playful, "You just try to cooperate, don't worry about other things, okay, squat down ......"
Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned red.
This Cui Dake is simply shameless to the extreme!
……
Nearly an hour later.
Qin Huairu dragged a bag of sweet potatoes with difficulty, and returned home with a tired face.
Jia Zhang, Su Zhang, and Zhang Laosan were still anxious to think of other ways, and when they saw Qin Huairu coming back with a bag in tow, their eyes lit up.
I opened the sack and found that it was full of sweet potatoes.
Jia Zhang couldn't help asking: "Huairu, why has it been so long, why did Cui Dake's little bastard only give such a little sweet potato?" ”
Qin Huairu rolled his eyes: "He is not good at talking, it took a long time to arrive, and I also gave him an IOU." ”
Jia Zhang looked at the bag and was very dissatisfied:
"Where is there enough sweet potatoes for seventy or eighty catties, let him get some grain bricks from the last time we ate."
Qin Huairu held back his anger and glared at Jia Zhang's fiercely:
"If you're not satisfied, talk to him yourself, or you can ask someone else."
"Don't look for me for this kind of in the future, it's as if it's good to have this sweet potato."
After speaking, Qin Huairu went to the back room, hugged the acacia flower and prepared to sleep.
"Hey, you ......" Jia Zhang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Zhang.
Su Zhang said: "Eldest sister, don't say it, this sweet potato plus the money I made, you are making up ten yuan, and the third child will be able to cope with this winter." ”
Jia Zhang thought about it, reluctantly took out twenty yuan, and said, "Third child, I only have so much, how long has it been." ”
Zhang Laosan also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a happy face: "Eldest sister, second sister, thank you." With this money and sweet potatoes, tomorrow I will go to a pigeon market and exchange all the money for food, so that I can survive this hard life for a while. ”
Jia Zhangshi said happily: "Okay, third, there is a pigeon market near me, don't go to the second sister, you will sleep with the stick terrier tonight, and go home tomorrow morning after changing the food." ”
"Okay."
Su Zhang's family saw that the matter of the third child was solved, and he also went home.
Nothing was said all night.
