Following.

According to the usual practice, Jiang Ping'an was on leave.

It was a little late to come back from Lou Xiao'e in the evening.

Jiang Ping'an slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

The yard is exceptionally quiet.

As the day of payment gets closer and closer, the surplus food in everyone's family is getting less and less.

Jiang Ping'an went to the sink to wash with the basin, and saw the three mothers on the opposite side with sad faces.

He didn't bother with anything, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the Yan family should be about to run out of cooking.

They have a lot of families, and they only have a pillar of Yanbu, but their income is still small, so they can only live frugally.

In fact, it's not just Yanbu's noble family that is about to run out of cooking.

Many of the residents in the courtyard are the same, and they are running out of food.

These days, not having enough to eat is the norm.

As for eating meat, it's even more impossible, and you can't buy it even if you have a ticket.

Only when the disaster has passed will life slowly get better.

When he returned home after washing, Jiang Ping'an saw that the house was empty and the furniture was dilapidated.

So I hurriedly went back to the bedroom and checked the wood in the space.

Speaking of which, he hasn't used it once since he bought the woodworking furniture!

"The pine wood is ready, but unfortunately it is still a little small, and it has to grow longer." Jiang Ping'an glanced at it a few times and thought to himself.

As for other woods, it takes longer to mature, so let's not consider them for now.

"Strive to build a batch of pine furniture before the year!"

Jiang Ping'an thought about it and planned to complete the furniture needed at home within the year.

"By the way, if you're idle anyway, you can use bamboo to weave some bamboo products first."

Bamboo baskets, baskets, baskets, sieves, baskets, chairs, baskets, mats, hats, bookshelves, sofas, bamboo cages, etc.

They are all used at any time in daily life.

Bamboo products, strict structure, unique shape, exquisite workmanship, smooth and smooth, beautiful lines, durable, simple and elegant, dignified and generous.

Strong but not clumsy, delicate but not thin.

The most important thing is that the material is easy to obtain and practical.

When the time comes, it will be placed at home, with a complete set of pine furniture, which is convenient to use and has a unique face.

"I'm still short of tools." Jiang Ping'an said secretly.

Bamboo weaving tools include: bamboo knives, sword doors, bamboo saws, small saws, word planers, pointed files, flat head files, mills, drill pipes, scrapers, bamboo chisels, wire gauges, wooden compasses, inner cards, external cards, etc.

If you want to create a beautiful and practical bamboo weaving, the necessary tools are indispensable.

Some of the carpentry tools he bought before can be used, but they still have to be supplemented.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ping'an secretly said, "Let's wait until after the salary!" ”

He still owes a lot of money to others, so he has to tell them beforehand.

After paying off, he wanted to use his salary to buy tools and wood.

The money owed can only be delayed for a few months.

By the way, you can also reveal your carpentry skills first, so that the birds can be mentally prepared first.

Before breakfast, Jiang Ping'an was about to take a bowl of dumplings from the space to eat, when there was a commotion outside.

When I went out to take a look, I found that Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, Jia Dongxu and others were all back.

Jiang Ping'an stepped forward and asked Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle Yi, who are you?" ”

"There was a power outage in the factory, and it was all a holiday." Yi Zhonghai smiled.

At this time, Jia Dongxu came over and asked Jiang Ping'an:

"Jiang Ping'an, did you go to Jiuxiang Village when you went to the countryside this time?"

"Go, you want to ask about your mom and the stick terrier, right?" Jiang Ping'an nodded and asked with a smile.

Jia Dongxu nodded and said worriedly:

"yes, they can't get used to living in the country?"

"Don't worry, the relief food is down, and they won't starve to death."

Jiang Ping'an replied casually, paused, and frowned:

"If you're so worried about them, why are you sending them to the country?"

"Also, you only care about your mom and the terrier?"

"Qin Zhunru and Xiao don't care about it?"

The people around them were staring at Jia Dongxu, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Jia Dongxu's scalp was numb, his face was red, and he hesitated for a while before he stiffened his neck and said:

"Of course I have to care about my mother, she gave birth to me and raised me, I don't care who she cares about?"

"The stick terrier is my son, and if I want to inherit the old Jia family, I naturally have to care about him first."

"As for Qin Huairu and Xiaodang, aren't they taken care of by her mother's family? I don't need to care. ”

Jiang Ping'an glanced at Jia Dongxu with disdain, didn't want to talk to him, snorted, and went back to the house.

The people in the courtyard also looked down on Jia Dongxu and left one after another.

Recently, Jia Dongxu has become more and more presumptuous, and he doesn't even hide his whereabouts when he goes out to gamble, and he doesn't go home at night for several days.

So the people in the courtyard also knew.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were driven to the countryside because of Jia Dongxu's gambling money.

"This Jia Dongxu is a bastard, it's better to die early!" Jiang Ping'an thought in his heart.

It's just that this dog thing, and being able to marry Qin Huairu, is really shit luck, it's too unreasonable.

Jiang Ping'an hid in the house and ate four big buns.

After smoking a cigarette, he walked to the courtyard.

When I arrived in the middle courtyard, I saw He Yuzhu cleaning the house.

"Silly Zhu, you didn't go to the factory this morning?" Jiang Ping'an wondered.

He Yuzhu glanced back at him and sighed:

"I pulled for a day yesterday, and I didn't have the strength to go to the factory, so I asked Uncle Yi to help me ask for leave."

So saying, he put the broom by the door, and came out of the house with a large basin containing a pile of clothes.

"Damn, it stinks!" Jiang Ping'an quickly dodged away, even if he didn't smell it, it was disgusting.

He Yuzhu glanced at him, didn't have the energy to argue with him, and silently took the basin to the sink.

Jiang Ping'an was about to go to the backyard for a stroll, when he heard He Yuzhu ask curiously:

"By the way, Jiang Ping'an, how much food do you owe outside?"

"The grain is almost paid off, but the borrowed money will not be paid off for a while." Jiang Ping'an sighed.

He Yuzhu disagreed, and said enviously: "It's also a skill to be able to borrow money!" ”

"Besides, you've all done all three turns, isn't it much easier to find a partner?"

"Looking for a partner, it's not that I can't find it, but I can't find the one I want." Jiang Ping'an shook his head slowly.

He Yuzhu nodded and agreed: "Also, just like me, I always can't find Ruyi." ”

"Come on, don't put gold on your face." Jiang Ping'an joked.

"You're so greasy and old, no one looks at you."

He Yuzhu was unconvinced: "My family has two rooms and receives a salary of thirty-seven yuan and five. ”

"I'm also the leader of the canteen, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, the conditions are so good, do I need to put gold on my face?"

"Then what else are you talking about, hurry up and find a daughter-in-law to come back and have a look!" Jiang Ping'an waved his hand and said with a pout.

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "Didn't I just say it?" Didn't meet the right one. ”

As he was talking, he heard Xu Damao shouting in the corridor:

"Jiang Ping'an, Ezi said, let you come to my house for dinner at noon!"

"Got it!" Jiang Ping'an responded, and asked He Yuzhu curiously:

"By the way, silly pillar, you've been on a blind date countless times, what kind of partner do you want to find?"

——————————

What kind of object to look for.

He Yuzhu really didn't think about it carefully.

Jiang Ping'an asked at this time, and after He Yuzhu pondered for a while, he replied:

"If you are looking for a partner on my terms, you must first have an urban hukou, have a good family composition, and it is even better if you have a job."

"Secondly, the girl must be handsome, her figure and appearance cannot be worse than Sister Qin, I can't let Jia Dongxu compare."

"It's better if you have culture, with a bit of bookish temperament, polite......"

When Jiang Ping'an heard this, he sighed and said:

"Silly Zhu, you still beat the single!"

"What do you mean?" He Yuzhu was stunned and wondered.

Jiang Ping'an said disdainfully: "What kind of object can't you find the girl who meets the conditions you said?" ”

"Yes, I admit that the chef is very popular these days, but you can't treat yourself as a golden treasure egg!"

"Recognize the reality, silly pillar, if you really look for a partner according to this standard, you will be beaten for a lifetime!"

No wonder this guy is so obsessed with Qin Huairu.

From the very beginning, he went to find a partner according to Qin Huairu's standards.

Then, on the basis of Qin Huairu's appearance and figure, factors such as household registration, family composition, and culture were added.

Let's not say he's whimsical!

It's just that other girls have this condition, and the young handsome men in Sijiu City are not just picked!

But why do people choose you as a cook?

"Hey! Jiang Ping'an, don't look down on people, I really want to find someone like this. He Yuzhu was not convinced.

Jiang Ping'an pursed his lips and waved his hand:

"Then you go and find it, and use your whole life to verify that what I said is true or false!"

After speaking, too lazy to argue with He Yuzhu, Jiang Ping'an turned around and walked to the backyard.

Xu Damao's thief head and thief brain hid around the corner, and when he saw Jiang Ping'an coming, he stepped forward and asked:

"Stupid and angry, what did you just tell him?"

Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Xu Damao, why are you like a long-tongued woman, always like to inquire about all kinds of things?" ”

"Hey, didn't I have a bad deal with the stupid pillar? That's why I asked. Xu Damao laughed dryly twice and explained.

Jiang Ping'an waved his hand and said: "I'm too lazy to get involved in your business, I want to know something, you ask him yourself." ”

Xu Damao naturally didn't dare to ask He Yuzhu, so he had no choice but to dispel his curiosity.

When I came to Xu Damao's house, I saw a bag of peanuts on the square table, and Lou Xiao'e was sitting on one side, peeling the shell.

"Peace is coming? Sit down here. Lou Xiao'e raised her head and said with a slight smile.

"Sister Xiao'e." Jiang Ping'an nodded and called out to her, sat down on the side, grabbed a handful of peanuts and helped peel them.

Xu Damao sat down opposite Jiang Ping'an, and after peeling a few peanuts, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice:

"Jiang Ping'an, I heard that Director Wang of the canteen is old and will retire next year, do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Ping'an glanced at him, slowly shook his head and said, "I don't have any ideas, do you have ideas?" ”

The level of the director of the rolling mill is not low, and if he is put in the locality, he can be the head of a county.

At worst, you can be a deputy.

For Jiang Ping'an, now that he can be a deputy section chief, he will be so happy that he can't sleep.

"Hehe, naturally I have an idea." Xu Damao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:

"If I become the director of the cafeteria, the stupid pillar will not be cleaned up by me?"

Jiang Ping'an glanced at him and said, "You are dreaming!" ”

"Let's not talk about whether you can become the director of the canteen, even if you do, you can't clean up the stupid pillar."

"Don't forget, Silly Zhu's temper is so bad that even Deputy Director Li dares to beat him, let alone you?"

Xu Damao snorted coldly and raised his head: "Hmph! As long as I can be the director of the cafeteria, I have my own way to clean him up! ”

"Then I wish you good luck, you became the director of the canteen earlier, and then you were beaten to death by a stupid pillar!" Jiang Ping'an said disdainfully.

Xu Damao snorted a few times, peeled a few peanuts, opened his mouth, hesitated, and endured it again.

Jiang Ping'an naturally saw his small movements, but he didn't see it, and whispered to Lou Xiao'e with his head sideways.

Xu Damao's face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, and then he stubbornly said:

"Jiang Ping'an, you have a good relationship with the leader, can you help me say a few kind words?"

Jiang Ping'an laughed, pointed at Xu Damao, and said angrily:

"Xu Damao, you're on the head, aren't you?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Damao was stunned and asked with a frown.

Jiang Ping'an said: "How old are you?" ”

"I have a culture but I am not high, and I have no qualifications, and I don't have much merit."

"Do you know what rank the cafeteria director is?"

"Do you know how many levels you're from the cafeteria director now?"

"Good guy, you just want to go from an ordinary projectionist to a canteen director, tsk......t"

Jiang Ping'an shook his head and sighed, he was embarrassed to hit Xu Damao.

To say that the current projectionists are really popular.

For example, Xu Damao now receives the salary of an administrative level 26 and level 8 clerk, 33 yuan per month.

This salary is not low, and it will definitely be upgraded in the future.

Not only that, but when the projectionist goes out to show the movie, he not only has a face, but also is respected.

You will be entertained with good food and wine, and you will also receive various gifts.

For example, some bacon, sausages, chicken, vermicelli, mushrooms, etc., and even some units will send money directly.

After a month, Xu Damao's income is not much worse than Jiang Ping'an.

But even so, Xu Damao's current level is at least a dozen levels away from the director, and he really dares to think about it.

Xu Damao looked confused.

Don't look at how much he often messes with the leader, he really doesn't think about it so much.

In his concept, isn't it just a word of leadership?

Tell the leader, and then secretly send some gold bars over, won't the matter be done?

Now I listen to Jiang Ping'an say this carefully.

Xu Damao's face suddenly panicked, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and asked, "Now you know why I don't have any thoughts about the canteen director, right?" ”

"Why?" Xu Damao was still in a daze, and asked in a daze.

Jiang Ping'an hated that iron could not become steel, and glared and said:

"Because you can't reach it, who doesn't want to be a leader?"

"Your grandmother, why didn't you tell me before? It almost made me look foreign! Xu Damao said angrily.

Jiang Ping'an stood up and smashed his fist on Xu Damao's forehead.

"You're a fool."

"Lao Tzu kindly reminds you, isn't it still Lao Tzu?"

Xu Damao was dizzy from being smashed, and fell to the ground from the bench, with his feet facing the sky, screaming.

"Hey, don't fight, I'm not lost in the lake?" Xu Damao panicked and hugged his head and shouted.

Jiang Ping'an punched him, also got angry, and sat down slowly.

Seeing that there was no movement, Xu Damao squinted and looked at it, feeling relieved.

It was indeed wrong to himself just now, and Jiang Ping'an was not a stupid pillar, so he could not offend or try not to offend.

This kid not only has a good foundation in the courtyard, but also gets along well with the leaders in the factory.

If he was offended, Jiang Ping'an would really go to his own section chief and blatantly take eye medicine.

At that time, it will be you who will be unlucky.

Xu Damao sighed secretly, quickly got up from the ground, and patted the dust on his body.

After relieving myself, I noticed that there was some pain in my forehead.

When he reached out and touched it, there was a bag the size of an egg on his forehead, and when he touched it lightly, his heart hurt.

"Hey young, Jiang Ping'an, you kid is too ruthless, right?" Xu Damao's tears were about to flow out.

Jiang Ping'an snorted: "Hmph, it's just to make you have a long memory!" ”

——————————

Xu Damao was punched by Jiang Ping'an.

But he didn't hold a grudge against Jiang Ping'an.

Because if it weren't for Jiang Ping'an's reminder today, he would really have a foreign appearance.

When the time comes, lick your face and slap the leader, and send out the gold bars piece by piece.

When the time comes, not only will you lose money and lose face, but you will also leave a bad impression on the leaders.

At the same time, today's events also gave Xu Damao a wake-up call.

Although he is conceited and a little shrewd, Jiang Ping'an is even more lazy and cunning and shrewd, and rarely suffers losses.

If you have anything you can't be sure about in the future, you can really discuss it with Jiang Ping'an in advance.

"It's just that his relationship with Ezi is a little too good!" Xu Damao felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

He didn't suspect that Lou Xiao'e might not be clear with Jiang Ping'an.

But he never caught the handle, let alone dared to speak out.

Lou Xiao'e is okay, her mother-in-law is free to dispose of, but Jiang Ping'an is not easy to mess with.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief is to stolen goods, and to catch a traitor is to double.

This kind of thing that is related to fame, if you don't catch it on the spot, you can't speak, and you can't even joke.

Otherwise, Jiang Ping'an, this kid, would definitely team up with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong to hold a meeting to criticize him.

It's just a criticism in the courtyard, but Jiang Ping'an is a master who must be revenged.

It is very likely that he will go to the factory and ask the leader to come forward and make decisions for him.

At that time, even if the factory can't fire the workers.

It can be decentralized, the workshop labor reform, toilet cleaning, wage downgrade and many other means are enough.

The lunch meal was made by Xu Damao.

As long as he was at home and Jiang Ping'an came to eat, he rarely cooked, and completely regarded himself as a guest.

Three vegetarian soup, fried shredded potatoes, fried cabbage, fried shredded radish, bean sprout soup, the staple food is white flour steamed buns.

There was no meat to eat, and Lou Xiao'e felt very embarrassed.

Hurriedly went to peel the peanuts in the morning, made a plate of puff pastry, and brought the wine.

"You just protect him too much, with our family's life, there is no one in the entire courtyard who can compare!"

Xu Damao frowned, feeling very upset.

This girl is really blatant, and she is better to Jiang Ping'an than to herself.

The key is that Lou Xiao'e has always been like this, Xu Damao is tired of saying it, and she still doesn't change.

As soon as Xu Damao complained here, Lou Xiao'e went to the room and took out his treasured Wuliangye.

"Eh, what are you doing here? You didn't get it back from your mother's house, did you? That's mine! ”

Xu Damao was startled, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to snatch it back.

"Can't you drink yours? I brought so much wine from my mother's house, and you didn't drink less, did you? ”

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and said, holding the bottle of wine tightly, dodging left and right.

Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't rob it, I won't drink at noon today, let's eat first." ”

"Ezi, Jiang Ping'an said he wouldn't drink anymore." Xu Damao was overjoyed.

Lou Xiao'e opened her mouth and said, "Then don't drink it, and take this wine home to drink it safely later." ”

"Eh, I said you're too generous, aren't you?" Xu Damao was so angry that his nostrils smoked.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care so much, she came to Jiang Ping'an's side with the wine in her arms and put the wine on the table.

"Sister Xiao'e still loves me." Jiang Ping'an smiled and said.

After taking Wuliangye, Jiang Ping'an raised it and shook it, and asked Xu Damao:

"Drink? If I don't drink it, I'll take it. ”

"Drink, this is my wine, why don't you drink it?"

Xu Damao sat down angrily and said angrily.

Jiang Ping'an poured three glasses of wine, handed Xu Damao a glass, and said with a smile:

"Hehe, let's taste what this five-dollar bottle of wine tastes like!"

Then she handed another cup to Lou Xiao'e, and after she took it, she smiled lightly and said:

"It's definitely not as delicious as the eight-dollar bottle of Moutai!"

Xu Damao was about to refute, when he saw Jiang Ping'an smile and said, "I think it depends on personal taste!" ”

"Moutai is a sauce-flavored type, Wuliangye is a strong flavor-type type, and it tastes different when you drink it."

Xu Damao's face softened slightly, looked at Lou Xiao'e and raised his eyebrows and said:

"Now you know, right? Whether the wine is good or not depends not on the price, but on personal taste. ”

"Okay, you won, okay? Win or lose with my woman, are you embarrassed? Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips.

Xu Damao's face turned red, Jiang Ping'an smiled, raised his wine glass and said, "Don't make noise, drink, hehe......"

……

After eating and drinking, coming out of Xu Damao's house, Jiang Ping'an suddenly felt that the four courtyards were too quiet.

After thinking about it, I found that Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were not there.

As long as these two people are not there, this courtyard is exceptionally quiet, and there are few rights and wrongs.

"I wish they never came back!" Jiang Ping'an said extravagantly in his heart.

But he knew it wasn't possible.

Qin Huairu didn't say it first, Jia Zhang's family could hold on until Jia Dongxu came back after the salary, even if it was very good.

Jiang Ping'an had a hunch that it was very likely that Jia Zhang's family would return to the hospital early.

After all, the life she lived in the countryside was too hard, and it was not human at all.

"Ping, don't go yet, come here."

Just thinking about something, when I passed by Yi Zhonghai's house, I heard him shouting in the house.

Jiang Ping'an's footsteps turned around and came to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Uncle Yi, what are you looking for me?"

At this time, I saw an aunt coming out of the inner room with a set of clothes, and said with a pleasant face:

"Peace, the winter coat I made for you is ready."

"You try it first, if it doesn't fit, you can change it."

"Thank you, uncle, aunt, you are so good to me!" Jiang Ping'an was grateful.

I took the padded jacket from the hand of an aunt, the fabric was blue, with small lapels and bright buttons.

There is a pocket on the left side of the top of the garment, without a lid, and a pocket on the left and right on the bottom, both with a lid.

The style is a very popular uniform-style padded jacket in this era, and it is the same for men and women, light and warm.

Yi Zhonghai smiled: "Come inside and try it to see if it fits." ”

Jiang Ping'an nodded, and was not polite, and went into the inner room with his clothes.

Soon, I changed my clothes and came out.

He stretched out his hand and stomped his feet, twisted his waist, and said with a smile on his face:

"Fit, it fits perfectly, just right!"

"If you don't say that peace is a clothes rack, you can look good in whatever you wear!" An aunt was pleased.

Yi Zhonghai smiled: "It's good to fit, you don't need to change it, you can just take the clothes back with you." ”

"Okay, then I'm welcome, I like this outfit very much." Jiang Ping'an said with a happy face.

After thinking about it, he said again: "Go to the countryside tomorrow, I'll go buy some bee candy for you two old men." ”

"Don't refuse, or I won't dare to accept your things in the future."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at each other and nodded secretly.

Yi Zhonghai said: "It's okay, this is a piece of filial piety for peace, and we can't live up to it, right?" ”

"I haven't eaten bee candy in years, so we'll take it then." Aunt Yi said happily.

Then, Jiang Ping'an went back to the inner room to change his clothes, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and said goodbye with his new padded jacket.

After he left, Aunt Yi sighed:

"This kid is indeed kind and kind, and can remember the kindness of others to him."

——————————

Carrying the clothes back home.

Jiang Ping'an took a basin of water and washed his face well.

Xu Damao, a dog thing, risked vomiting blood in his stomach and fought with him to drink, and he really succeeded in making him drink a lot.

After being stimulated by the cold and biting water, Jiang Ping'an suddenly sobered up a lot.

Putting the basin back on the washstand, Jiang Ping'an turned on the radio and listened to the storytelling.

Just as he was about to sit down and rest for a while, Yan Bugui stretched out his head and looked in by the door.

"Peace, can you make a louder voice? Your three masters also want to hear a half-voice. ”

Jiang Ping'an turned his head and smiled, did not refuse, and turned his voice to the maximum.

"That's what it smells like! Your new radio is good, loud, clear and comfortable to listen to. ”

Yan Bugui gave a thumbs up and said with envy.

Jiang Ping'an came to the door with two small benches, handed one to Yan Bugui, and said with a smile:

"Three masters, if you don't save electricity, your radio can still be heard enough."

In fact, the courtyard is full of lamp users.

Based on the number of lights and wattage of lights, the monthly amount is charged.

Count the bulbs before paying the electricity bill, this method is scientifically called "package lamp system".

The way to do this is to count the light bulbs, and the electricity bill depends on the wattage of the light.

For example, the electricity bill is $0.15 per 15-watt bulb per month.

A 25-watt bulb is $0.25 and a 40-watt bulb is $0.4.

At that time, the most commonly used light bulb was a 15-watt light bulb, and only wealthy families were willing to use a 25-watt one.

There are unconscious, big bubbles to report small bubbles, and it also happens from time to time in individual people's homes.

In order to put an end to this phenomenon and to be fair and reasonable, people invented the method of affixing seals.

It is to paste a seal with the name of each family at the mouth of the lamp, so that people can't secretly change the big bubble.

Yan Bugui is used to instigation, and he is afraid that the radio is also a light bulb, so he uses the battery to listen to it occasionally.

Every time, the sound is turned on very quietly, saying that the sound consumes a lot of electricity.

He smiled awkwardly, took the bench and sat down, listened to a few words, and said in surprise: "This is "Gunshots on the Plains"? ”

"Have the three masters heard? Don't you just like to listen to the news? Jiang Ping'an asked with a smile.

Yan Bugui laughed dryly, lifted his glasses, and replied, "I've heard it for a while, but I don't dare to hear too much." ”

"I know, it consumes electricity!" Jiang Ping'an nodded with an understanding expression and said.

Everyone has their own way of living, and Jiang Ping'an doesn't think there's anything wrong with Yan Bugui.

His family's income is small, and he has to support so many people, and he definitely can't live without planning to live.

In these years, in fact, every family is almost the same, and they have to calculate their lives.

Especially for the stuttering, it breaks my heart.

Even if the family members are all urban hukou, the food quota is not enough to eat.

From time to time, I should also look for some miscellaneous grains, such as dried yams, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. to supplement the food gap.

However, in the difficult times of recent years, even sweet potatoes and potatoes have been hard to find.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is in the city or the countryside, most of the people are now in a state of hunger.

This is also why Liang Ladi, Qin Huairu, and Liu Lan are just for something to eat.

is willing to risk being discovered, and Jiang Ping'an is secretly fooling around.

When a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything.

The two were listening to the storytelling, and Liu Guangqi, the eldest of the second uncle's family, paced and clasped his hands and came out of the backyard.

Yan Bugui glanced back and said curiously: "Guangqi, has your work been implemented?" ”

"Still waiting for the letter, the third master, yo, you guys listen to this?"

Liu Guangqi replied, and when he heard the sound of the radio coming from the house, he was immediately interested.

He took a few steps, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to Jiang Ping'an and Yan Bugui.

"I don't have a bench at home, you can go to the third master's house to borrow one and sit here!" After Jiang Ping'an took the cigarette, he smiled.

Yan Bugui took the cigarette, nodded with a smile, and said, "Go ahead, go get it yourself." ”

Liu Guangqi sighed, trotted to Yan Bugui's house to get a small bench over, and sat next to Jiang Ping'an.

The three of them swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and Jiang Ping'an smiled:

"The second uncle seems to love you, and even the peony is smoked!"

After Liu Guangqi took a puff of cigarette, he slowly shook his head and said, "I rarely get beaten." ”

Jiang Ping'an nodded silently, and said in his heart, no wonder this guy moved away after he got married, and rarely came back.

It is estimated that he also saw that his Lao Tzu often beat the second and third children, even if he didn't beat himself, he also had a shadow in his heart.

"Lao Liu's way of educating children is still a little wrong." Yan Bugui suddenly interjected.

Jiang Ping'an said with a smile: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the second uncle manages his own children, and outsiders are not easy to mix." ”

In these days, it is normal for parents to beat their children.

It's just that the bangs are too extreme, no matter what is right or wrong, no matter how heavy it is.

He only spoils the eldest child, but he can't help the second and third children.

"Also, Lao Liu educates children, it's really hard for outsiders to say anything." Yan Bugui nodded.

At this time, Liu Guangqi suddenly asked Jiang Ping'an:

"By the way, Jiang Ping'an, I heard that you have a wide road, can you help me find a better job?"

"You are a high school student, it is easy to find a job, and the second uncle will help you arrange it properly." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

In these years, college students and secondary school students are allotted, but high school students are not allotted.

However, there are relatively few high school students now, so they are all very important, and it is quite easy to find a job.

But to find the job you want, it depends on luck.

Liu Guangqi shook his head and sighed: "My dad is unreliable, who knows what kind of job he will help me find?" ”

"You don't have to pick and choose, no matter what kind of work it is, it's also to contribute to the country!" Jiang Ping'an said.

Having said that, this Liu Guangqi can leave his parents behind, and he is also a proper white-eyed wolf.

Besides, he wants to work well when he opens his mouth, so what kind of work is a good job?

I don't know if he is missing a root in his head or how to drip.

The relationship between the two is not good, and Jiang Ping'an does not owe him favors, so why help him?

And even if Bang Haizhong came forward and sent a rich gift to beg, Jiang Ping'an would not help.

Helping a white-eyed wolf like Liu Guangqi, he didn't get the meat in the end, but he made a commotion, which was disgusting.

Liu Guangqi saw that Jiang Ping'an always shirked his words, and he was very unhappy in his heart, feeling that he was not close to people.

He borrowed so much money from him and asked him for a favor, but he didn't even answer the conversation, what a white-eyed wolf.

However, Liu Guangqi was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at Jiang Ping'an.

In the shadow of the bangs, Liu Guangqi has a perfect ability to observe words and colors, and knows which people cannot be messed with.

Don't say how wild Jiang Ping'an is outside, just say that he is in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang's arrogant and domineering people, aren't they also obedient to him?

Silly Zhu's temper is stinky, and I haven't seen him blow up in front of Jiang Ping'an.

Xu Damao, the bad pus-shedding villain, was also pressed to death by Jiang Ping'an, and he didn't even dare to fight too much.

Not to mention the three masters in the courtyard, it seems that they rarely find trouble with Jiang Ping'an.

This all shows that Jiang Ping'an has done a lot of things, either openly or secretly, so that this group of people can try not to provoke him.

——————————

Liu Guangqi left in ashes.

Yan Bugui glanced at Liu Guangqi's back, and looked at Jiang Ping'an without a trace.

His eyes were fixed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, after listening to a commentary, Jiang Ping'an said to Yan Bugui, and then got up and went to turn off the radio.

Yan Bugui was reluctant, but he still went home with a smile.

Listening to the radio for so long now, for him, it is a big fortune.

Jiang Ping'an went out to go to the toilet, and when he came back, he happened to meet Jia Dongxu at the door.

Seeing his sad face, Jiang Ping'an asked with a smile: "Jia Dongxu, are you going to the table again?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just going out for a casual stroll." Jia Dongxu wanted to cover it up, and said in a panic.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, stepped forward and asked in a whisper:

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped, and I won't talk nonsense."

"You see when I was in the yard, when did I chew on the root of someone's tongue?"

Jia Dongxu's expression slowed slightly, took out a cigarette, handed one to Jiang Ping'an, nodded and said dejectedly:

"I'm so bad at luck during this time, and I've lost next month's rations!"

"Jiang Ping'an, can you lend me some?"

As he spoke, he lit matches again and lit a cigarette for Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an took a deep breath, and after exhaling the smoke, he squinted his eyes and said:

"You kid is a dog who can't change eating!"

"It's a good day, but I want to gamble for money, and I don't need to say the truth of losing nine out of ten bets, right?"

"You're embarrassed to borrow it from me, don't you see that I'm not also borrowing it in the yard?"

Jia Dongxu frowned and said, "You are different, you are borrowing coarse grains for fine grains to eat." ”

"I said you're too delicate, aren't you? Who has eaten fine grains every day in these years? ”

"In this way, you don't have to change the fine grains to eat next month, and give me some coarse grains."

"You've got a big face!" Jiang Ping'an pouted, and said angrily:

"Our relationship isn't here yet, is it?"

"Why should I leave the fine grain and not eat it, and I want to save the grain and gamble for you?"

Jia Dongxu hurriedly said: "I don't gamble, I borrowed your grain to support my family, really." ”

"What a chance, I don't know your virtue yet?" Jiang Ping'an glared at him and said.

"Also, your wife and Qin Huairu are coming back, I see how you explain to them."

"When the time comes, a few mouths are waiting to be fed, and you can't just drink the northwest wind, right? Hey hey ......"

Jia Dongxu shrank his hole, Qin Huairu was not afraid, it was Jia Zhang's teeth and claws that made him afraid.

"No, Jiang Ping'an, you must help me!" Jia Dongxu was anxious.

These days, he's been gambling in a daze, and he doesn't think about it that much.

At this time, he was reminded by Jiang Ping'an, and he suddenly became panicked.

"Help the egg, don't help!" Jiang Ping'an gave him a blank look, threw away the cigarette, turned around and left.

Jia Dongxu hurriedly caught up and said as he walked:

"Jiang Ping'an, as long as you can help me this time, I will call you brother in the future!"

"Not uncommon!" Jiang Ping'an didn't reply.

"Even if you call me dad or grandpa, I won't help you!"

Suddenly, he stopped, Jia Dongxu was overjoyed, thinking that things had taken a turn for the better.

saw Jiang Ping'an turn around and said curiously: "By the way, you won't lose all your family's savings, right?" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Jia Dongxu shook his head again and again, looking flustered.

Jiang Ping'an looked at him a few times, cut his voice, and said, "You really lost all your savings, hehe......"

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't touched my family's savings." Jia Dongxu's face turned pale, and his mouth was hard.

Jiang Ping'an rolled his eyes and said with a pout:

"Are you a fool to me? If you really have savings, go to the pigeon market and find a way! ”

There is actually nothing in the pigeon market now, and most of them are out looking for food.

However, in these years, grain is expensive, and few people take it out to sell, and it is estimated that the situation will improve in a few years.

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath and quibbled:

"These days, food control is very strict, and I don't dare to take a big risk to go to the pigeon market."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Then why don't I take you there?" ”

"Just go over to purchase in the name of the rolling mill to ensure safety, you go back and get the money quickly!"

Jia Dongxu clenched his teeth and bowed his head silently.

Jiang Ping'an cut his voice and said, "Be tough with me, if you don't have money, you don't have money, I won't say it?"

??”

"There's no money, okay?" Jia Dongxu sighed, his whole body suddenly relaxed, raised his head and said:

"I've confessed to you, can you promise to help me now?"

Jiang Ping'an laughed angrily, stepped forward, grabbed Jia Dongxu's hair hard, and scolded angrily:

"You, I want to see what's in this head? Is it dung? ”

"Even if you confess to me, why should I help you?

"Just because of your Jia Dongxu's big face? You don't have a big face! Lao Tzu can beat it to pieces with one punch! ”

Jia Dongxu screamed when he was scolded, tears of pain flowed up, and he dodged left and right.

was caught by Jiang Ping'an, and he couldn't hide.

"Whew! Jiang Ping'an, stop, your hair is torn off! ”

"Whew! I won't borrow it from you, you let go, I won't let you help! ”

When the people in the courtyard heard the movement, they all came out to see the excitement, but no one stepped forward to dissuade them.

Looking at the situation, Jiang Ping'an is cleaning up Jia Dongxu again.

The Jia family is not popular in the courtyard, so naturally no one helps Jia Dongxu speak.

If it's Qin Huairu.

She stepped forward to cry and cry, and maybe some people couldn't bear it and spoke out to dissuade her.

But today, Jia Dongxu deserves to be cleaned up by Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Grabbing his hair with one hand and his ears with the other, he rubbed his face and nose together and sneered:

"Whose Lao Tzu are you going to be? You dog, don't open the roof for three days! ”

"Whew! I was wrong, you are Lao Tzu, you are Lao Tzu, right? I was wrong, let go, ......"

Jia Dongxu burst into tears of pain, and when Jiang Ping'an saw him begging for mercy, he pushed him away in disgust.

"Jinnyima is disgusting!" Jiang Ping'an pursed his mouth and walked to the sink to wash his hands.

Jia Dongxu didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly hugged his head and ran home.

At this time, Yan Bugui stepped forward with a smile and asked Jiang Ping'an, "Why are you making trouble again?" ”

"He's going to ask me to borrow food." Jiang Ping'an washed his hands, shook the water droplets, and said with a disgruntled expression.

"Third master, you give me a comment, my own food is not enough to eat, and he still asks me to borrow it."

"Tell me, what kind of heart is he safe? It's so vicious, are you trying to starve me? ”

"Uh......" Yan Bugui was choked and said dryly: "Then he does have a bad mind ...... evil intentions."

Then, he smiled, and turned around and pulled the three mothers who came over to go back.

For fear that Jiang Ping'an would say that he was short of food again, let him, the third master, help come up with ideas.

"Cut, if you dare to shake the qualifications of the three masters with me, Lao Tzu will dare to borrow food from you!" Jiang Ping'an pouted.
