Uncle Qin's five people fell silent after hearing this, but in fact, in their hearts, it was really time when they had no food to eat, and they would starve to death if they joined.

Basically, few people care about Chu Qianqian's future.

But in the end, there is still shame, knowing this kind of ingratitude, if you really do it, not only will you feel guilty for the rest of your life.

will also be looked down upon for a lifetime.

And to put it mildly, if the three uncles and nephews of the Chu family, especially Chu Xiangqian, offended him, it would probably be equivalent to offending all the people in the entire forest farm and several nearby villages.

Besides, the so-called township party is a combination of interests composed of relatives and friends.

In terms of cohesion, it tends to be stronger than relatives who have not been in contact for a long time.

Chu Xiangqian also used one thing to let the family members of the forest farm understand that he is the most important person in the forest farm and the one who is the most useful to speak.

In the old era, Chu Xiangqian's words could drive any family out of the forest farm.

The big and small affairs in the village basically couldn't be done without him opening up.

And the village has not yet arrived, and people will starve to death if they don't have food.

Since it is not in a desperate situation, the reason of the big guy is there.

Uncle Qin looked around, and saw that the four of them nodded helplessly, so he said to Chu Xiangqian, "Go forward, it's not to the point of starving to death yet."

We are not ungrateful, and it is a last resort to ask you to get food.

But if something happens to you, to be honest, if you don't say that you have a bad conscience, it will not be good for the village. ”

This is reasonable, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Don't worry, you don't know me yet, if you can't do it, I don't dare to agree." ”

Then Chu Xiangqian began to shout, "My hunting skills also know that after the weather gets colder, I will go out hunting on horseback in the mountains in the north, and if I am lucky, I can complete a month's task in one trip."

I hid my prey in the mountains to the north, and I usually rode out for a walk, and then brought back the prey, and no one knew how much bean cake my horses had consumed.

However, in the end, it was the rations of the military horses, and if someone was shouting about it, and the superiors or the commune knew about it, it would be impossible not to check it. ”

When the people heard this, they were relieved.

However, everyone is not stupid, from Chu Xiangqian's words, he still heard that he would rather walk by himself, but also save the rations of the horses and send them back to the forest farm to help the people in the same village.

As soon as he thought of this, the big guy immediately became in awe.

But in fact, Chu Xiangqian purchased a total of 2,520 tons of corn and 840 tons of soybean cake on the farms around the ranch last time.

A few hundred catties of bean cakes are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Chu Xiangqian.

agreed on 500 catties of bean cakes, and Chu Xiangqian also received 150 yuan from the village.

3 cents a pound of bean cakes, which are 3 times more expensive than last year's stick noodles.

But now, the price of miscellaneous grains is this, and money can't buy food.

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't value 150 yuan, but if he didn't collect the money, Uncle Qin and the others would not be at ease.

Back at the second uncle's house, Chu Xiangqian told him about getting married 4 days later.

The second and third uncles were stunned for a moment, and then they were pleasantly surprised.

The second uncle even had tears in his eyes, staring at the hillside in the distance outside the door, and muttered in his mouth, his nephew is also getting married, and if the eldest brother is still there, I don't know how happy he is.

Chu Xiangqian also sighed, admiring the father of this body.

made an appointment to let the second uncle and the third uncle enter the city a day earlier, Chu Xiangqian stayed in the forest farm until more than 3 o'clock, and the second uncle was busy asking him to go back early, so as not to walk at night.

Chu Qianqian nodded, and rode his bicycle into the city for an hour, wanting to go back to the courtyard, but he didn't take the main road.

Instead, from the Mao'er Hutong, through several alleys, you can also enter Runanluoguxiang.

When I arrived at the courtyard next to the Wenchang Emperor's Temple, I suddenly saw that a clothes pole had been erected in the courtyard.

The chickadee immediately flew over and stood on the wall of the courtyard, seeing Qin Huairu sitting on a chair in the hall in a daze.

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and rode his bicycle into the alley of the small courtyard.

Stretched out his hand to push the door, although he didn't push it open, it also woke up Qin Huairu in the hall.

He walked out of the house quickly and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

"I, open the door".

Hearing that it was Chu Xiangqian's voice, Qin Huai was ecstatic, and hurriedly opened the door bolt, and saw Chu Xiangqian pushing the bicycle forward, standing outside the door and looking at himself.

In an instant, Qin Huai was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, and his excited eyes were red.

I thought to myself, you have no conscience, and it will be 2 months since you left, and you don't even know how to send a letter back.

Even if you can't send it to yourself, you can send it to the country or the people, so that you know whether your work is going well and whether your life is good.

Qin Huairu was complaining in his heart, but he was very honest in his actions, opened the door, and let Chu Qianqian enter the courtyard.

Immediately bolted the door, turned around and threw himself to Chu Xiangqian's side, holding the man firmly from behind.

Feeling the strong muscles on Chu Xiangqian's body, as well as the familiar smell, Qin Huairu suddenly felt relieved.

Chu Xiangqian could feel the woman behind him, his attachment to him.

Stand Chu forward, turn around, pick up the person, and walk into the house.

Unexpectedly, this woman washed her body in advance, and it seems that she has been looking forward to coming to this courtyard since this morning.

——

At about 6 o'clock in the evening, Qin Huairu hurriedly washed up, and then walked into the house, looking at Chu Xiangqian still lying on the bed, he couldn't help but blush.

The secret path should have really tired his man just now.

Chu Xiangqian was just reluctant to get up, but Qin Huairu walked to the side of the bed, lay on Chu Xiangqian's back, and whispered, "Xiangqian, why don't you fall asleep first, and I'll come over later to bring you food?" ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't open his eyes, "Come on, I don't lack food." If you bring me food, you wicked mother-in-law doesn't know what to think. ”

"No", Qin Huairu smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You don't know, my mother-in-law doesn't need her salary to pay for the family's expenses."

Now I eat breakfast and lunch in the canteen of the rolling mill, and then I go home from work to cook, which is the payment I paid for hiring her to cook for my two children and me.

I also paid for other expenses at home, so I have the final say at home now. ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that Qin Huairu was powerful.

It seems that Qin Huairu has suffered a big loss, but if you think about it carefully, with Jia Zhang's virtue, under the premise that Qin Huairu has a job, she would not have taken out the money to raise her children.

It will not be used by Qin Huairu.

And Qin Huairu, who is a daughter-in-law, in the eyes of outsiders, she is responsible for supporting her mother-in-law.

Now after changing the word, the grain that was supposed to support Jia Zhang's family has become a reward for hiring her to cook and take care of the children.

It immediately became a master-slave relationship.

And once this matter spreads outside, custody can allow Jia Zhang's family to die directly.

"Then your mother-in-law's monthly ration is all for herself?"

Qin Huairu sighed and nodded, "My mother-in-law is really not a good person, she would rather eat all the food stamps every month in the canteen than give some food to the two children." ”

Chu Xiangqian showed a disgusted expression after hearing this.

Jia Zhang's family saw that Qin Huai had a formal job, and the two children also followed his mother to have a city hukou and fixed grain, so they immediately ate their own food, and they had to eat the food provided by Qin Huairu at night.

"Then where did you get so much food to take care of the family's mouth?"

Qin Huairu said with some pride in his heart, "Last time I bought the calligraphy and painting at the thrift purchase station for 5 cents, didn't you give me 60 yuan to buy it!"

Since you have given me the back, I have confidence in my heart.

There is no need to go hungry or reluctant to go to the pigeon market to spend money on food.

Last month, I spent 15 yuan and secretly bought 22 catties of stick noodles, plus the food for me and my two children, at least I won't be hungry.

Occasionally, the two children are too greedy to buy some meat or go to the fisherman to buy some fish. ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, "Okay, if you're not in a hurry to go back, show me the things you've collected in the past two months first." ”

Qin Huairu picked up Chu Qianqian's watch on the bed and looked at it, it was already half past six in the evening.

Busy said to Chu Xiangqian, "I'll go back first, so as not to let my mother-in-law think nonsense." I'll put it all in the cupboard, and you can see it yourself.

As for how much it's worth, you just look at it. By the way, if you don't want to move, then I'll come and cook for you later.

I've kept some flour in this yard to make you pancakes later. ”

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian turned his head sideways, opened his eyes and looked at Qin Huairu, "Aren't you afraid that I will deliberately give less?" ”

Qin Huai glanced at him, "Even if I know, what can I do, it's not that you can say as much as you want." ”

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but give Qin Huairu a thumbs up, "For the sake of you as a director, I won't make your money anymore." ”

Qin Huairu glanced at Chu Qianqian, but he didn't mean to be angry.

Qin Huairu knew very well in her heart that even if something could be sold for 100 yuan, she would not be able to find a buyer.

Even if you find someone who is willing to accept antiques, you will definitely be underpriced.

On the contrary, Chu Qianqian saw that he would follow him and serve him well, and the bid would be higher.

Bowing his head and kissing the corner of Chu Xiangqian's mouth, Qin Huairu hurriedly went back to the courtyard.

Chu Xiangqian lay down for more than ten minutes, and then got up curiously to see if Qin Huairu had received any real antiques in the past two months.

Received antiques, and there are no good things.

Half an hour later, after reading all the more than 20 pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings in the cabinet, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help nodding secretly.

It seems that there are indeed a lot of good things in ordinary people's homes these days.

Think about it in a previous life, there were reports that in a special decade, there may be millions of antiques destroyed.

In the capital of the three dynasties, there are more antiques that the people can come into contact with.

Maybe the painting hanging on the wall in the middle hall at home is the painting of a famous person in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Placed in the middle hall, the porcelain vase when it is furnished is also an official kiln one or two hundred years ago.

Of the 14 pieces of porcelain and 9 calligraphy and paintings, 7 are antiques from the Ming and early Qing dynasties. The rest are also things from the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty.

gave Chu Xiangqian 270 gold coupons, even if he cut it in half, Qin Huairu could actually earn 135 yuan in two months by relying on the convenience of the thrift purchase station.

That's months of her salary.

No wonder this woman was willing to go to the pigeon market and buy stick noodles at a high price.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and simply gave Qin Huairu only 50 yuan, and then bought more than 2,000 tons of corn kernels from more than a dozen farms in California.

I took out 100 catties and crushed them into stick noodles and put them in the kitchen of the yard.

It is equivalent to 85 yuan for 100 catties of stick noodles.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and finally left another 30 catties of flour.

With these grains, plus the fixed grains that were already available, it was enough for Qin Huairu to support for three or five more months.

And Chu Xiangqian himself did not lose.

A little more than 7:30 in the evening, I went home and ate a bowl of millet porridge at will, and Qin Huairu, who was in a nest, hurriedly ran back to Mao'er Hutong.

Take advantage of the darkness to avoid people's eyes and return to the small courtyard.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian was sitting in the hall eating, Qin Huairu's face tightened, and he hurriedly walked in, "I said that I would come back to cook for you after a while, why did you still do it yourself?" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw sesame baked cakes and a plate of beef in sauce on the table.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but glance at Chu Qianqian, and secretly said that he shouldn't worry that this conscienceless person would be hungry or not eat well.

Chu Qianqian pointed to the kitchen, "I asked someone to move 100 catties of stick noodles and 30 catties of flour." ”

When Qin Huairu heard this, he immediately became excited.

He turned around and ran to the kitchen, and when he was sure that there was really so much food in the kitchen, his worries about the future disappeared in an instant.

Originally, Chu Xiangqian was just rich, and he was worried that he would be like many people, unlucky, even if he squatted in the pigeon market, he would not be able to buy food.

Unexpectedly, this guy only got 100 catties of stick noodles and 30 catties of flour in just over an hour.

In other words, he will definitely get more food if he wants to.

But although Qin Huairu really didn't guess, he didn't plan to help others, let alone beg Chu Qianqian to help others.

When I returned to the hall and just sat down, I saw Chu Qianqian pointing to the sauced beef on the table, which was still half a plate left, and said, "If you want to eat, take the dishes and chopsticks yourself."

Also, in addition to the food you are given, you will be given another 50 yuan.

As for the 23 pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, 7 pieces were taken away. The rest are all things from the Republic of China and the end of the Qing Dynasty.

If you keep it for yourself and put it for twenty or thirty years, it should be worth a lot of money. ”

Qin Huairu shook his head, "I'll keep it for decades, it's better to sell it for money and try my luck by buying a few more pieces."

Maybe I can come across something that can really be used as a family heirloom. ”

Chu Qianqian glanced at this woman, wanting to say that she was daydreaming, but luck was really difficult to say.

Maybe she'll really meet a treasure.

And there is really no shortage of things in the Ming and Qing dynasties these years, and there is really no need to stare at the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty.

However, think about the storm when the storm comes, many ordinary families will get into trouble, just because there are antique calligraphy and paintings hidden in the house.

"In recent years, you don't hide antiques at home, this thing is a valuable thing, and if people know about it, people will keep an eye on you all the time.

It's better to exchange it for money, which is easy to hide, and when you encounter difficulties, you don't have to find someone to collect it like an antique.

No matter how bad it is, it is more secure than antique calligraphy and painting by replacing it with gold bars. ”

Qin Huairu was stunned, but she had the advantage that she had always listened to her man's words.

Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian was better than all the men she knew in her heart.

nodded busily, "Then I'll listen to you, and when the money in my hand is enough, I'll go and exchange it for gold bars." ”
