Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work, Wu Aiguo walked around the vegetable market near the supply and marketing cooperative, and then carried some vegetables, took the bus, and rushed home.

"Patriotic! Came back from work. Wu Aiguo was carrying the dishes, just walked into the courtyard, the first gate of the courtyard Yan Bugui, saw Wu Aiguo with the vegetables in his hand, and greeted Wu Aiguo warmly.

Although Yan Bugui likes to calculate, he supports a family of six with a salary of 27.5 yuan, and sends all the children to school.

Later, when it was reopened, Yan Bugui saw that Silly Zhu had no money to support the old people in the courtyard, so he took the initiative to go out to pick up garbage to help Silly Zhu reduce his burden.

Because of this, Wu Aiguo has a very good impression of Yan Bugui.

Wu Aiguo, who was about to go to see the progress of the house decoration, heard Yan Bugui's words, and greeted Yan Bugui with a smile: "Three masters! When I came back from work, I passed by the vegetable market, and I happened to see someone buying vegetables, so I bought some casually. ”

Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's answer, thought of Wu Aiguo's transfer to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Patriotic!" Your first day at work today, is everything going well? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Three masters! Thanks to you, everything is going well. ”

Wu Aiguo said this, turned around and walked towards the east wing.

Master Wang, who was laying floor tiles in the house, saw Wu Aiguo who walked into the house, hurriedly put down the tools in his hand, and greeted Wu Aiguo warmly, "Comrade patriot!" You're back! ”

"According to your instructions, we have changed these three rooms into three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, you hurry up and take a look, if there is anything dissatisfied, we will modify it immediately."

When Wu Aiguo heard Master Wang's introduction, he immediately walked around the room, then nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Master Wang!" According to the current renovation progress, when will my three rooms be completed? ”

When Master Wang heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he replied with a smile: "Patriotic comrade! According to the current renovation progress, the three rooms will be ready in two days at the latest. ”

"Considering that the winter in our Kyoto is very cold, I suggest that you make a kang in the house, so that when you sleep in winter, you don't have to worry about freezing."

When Wu Aiguo heard Master Wang's reminder, he remembered how cold the winter in the north was, and hurriedly thanked Master Wang: "Master Wang! Thank you for the reminder, otherwise I would have almost forgotten about it. ”

"About the master of the pankang, please help me find it, and give one to each of the three rooms, so that in winter, you don't have to worry about sleeping and getting frozen, as for the cost of the pankang, we will settle it together at that time."

When Master Wang heard Wu Aiguo's words, he nodded subconsciously and replied, "Comrade patriotic!" Yes! Then when I come over tomorrow morning, I'll invite the master of the pankang over. ”

"Second brother! You're back! Wu Aili, who had just come back from school, heard the conversation between Wu Aiguo and Master Wang in the east wing of the front yard, and immediately walked to the door of the east wing, saw Wu Aiguo standing in the house, and hurriedly shouted to Wu Aiguo happily.

Wu Aiguo heard Wu Aili's shout, and then remembered the dishes he was still carrying in his hand, and hurriedly handed the dishes in his hand to Wu Aili, and said to Wu Aili with a smile: "Lily! This is the food I bought at the market when I got off work, and you took it home and let our mother cook it for dinner at night. ”

Wu Aili heard Wu Aiguo's order, took the bag of vegetables from Wu Aiguo's hand, looked at the room in front of her, and asked Wu Aiguo expectantly: "Second brother!" When your house is repaired, can I move in with you?" ”

Wu Aiguo heard the eldest sister's inquiry, saw the eldest sister's expectant expression, nodded with a smile, and replied, "Lily! As long as my mother agrees, you can move to the front yard and live with me. ”

When Wu Aili heard Wu Aiguo's answer, she happily carried the vegetables and ran in the direction of the backyard.

Wu Aiguo watched his sister happily run towards the backyard, exchanged a word of greeting with Master Wang, and walked out of the house.

When Wu Aiguo walked out of the house, he saw Yan Bugui who was still watering the flowers, and suddenly remembered what Section Chief Li told him this morning when he was in the unit.

Thinking of the catastrophe that would last for three years in the future, Wu Aiguo walked to Yan Bugui's side and whispered to Yan Bugui: "Three masters! Come with me, I have a very important thing to tell you. ”

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's words and saw Wu Aiguo's solemn expression, he hurriedly put down the kettle in his hand and asked Wu Aiguo curiously: "Patriotism!" Do you have anything to do with me? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, subconsciously glanced around, and then asked in a low voice: "Three masters!" How much money do you have left in your family now? ”

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he immediately thought of Wu Aiguo repairing the house, which made him instinctively think that Wu Aiguo wanted to borrow money from him, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Patriotic!" You and I, the three masters, have a monthly salary of just that, and if you have to support a family of six, what money is left. ”

"I know you just came back from a job change and don't have any money on hand, if you really want to borrow money from me, the third master will lend you at most fifty yuan." When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, he immediately realized that Yan Bugui had misinterpreted his meaning, but just as he was about to explain, Yan Bugui's next words surprised him very much.

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's answer and explained in a low voice: "Three masters! You misunderstood, I asked you how much money you have left, not to borrow money from you, but to tell you something important. ”

When Yan Bugui expressed his willingness to borrow fifty yuan from Wu Aiguo, he actually regretted it very much in his heart, regretting why he said this.

Now that he learned that Wu Aiguo was not looking for him to borrow money, this made Yan Bugui secretly relieved in his heart, and asked curiously: "Patriotism!" Since you don't ask me to borrow money, why do you ask me how much money I have left? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, saw Yan Bugui's curious expression, and asked Yan Bugui in a low voice: "Three masters! Your family has been buying grain at the grain station for the past two months, and is the food supply in the grain station sold in full according to the quantity on the grain book? ”

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he thought of what Wu Aiguo had said to him before, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly replied: "Patriotic!" Since last month, our family's food supply has decreased by two catties per person, do you know the reason? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, thought of the catastrophe and famine that would occur in China in the next three years, and said to Yan Bugui in a low voice: "Three masters! If your family has any money to spare, use it all to buy food, and finally it can be stored for a long time, and as for the reason why I let you do this, don't ask. ”
