Siheyuan: A Beautiful Life

"Next person!"

At around ten o'clock in the morning, at the grain station in DC, a staff member picked up a seal, stamped a seal on the grain book in front of him, pushed the grain book in front of the counter, and shouted out of habit.

When Qin Huairu heard the staff's shouts, she quickly put the food book in her hand on the counter and said politely: "Comrade! I want to buy our family's entire ration for this month."

When the staff learned about Qin Huairu's purpose, he took a serious look at the food book and replied expressionlessly: "Comrade! Jia Dongxu's ration is 17 kilograms in total. According to the above policy, starting from this month, Jia Dongxu's ration

I need to lose two more pounds, and there is a total of 24 pounds left. Do you want to buy part of it? Or buy it all back?"

The Jia family's five members all rely on Jia Dongxu's ration. Jia Dongxu's monthly ration of 27 kilograms was originally unable to meet the needs of the Jia family's five members. Now, the monthly ration has been reduced by three kilograms, which is very important to the Jia family.

To say it is like adding insult to injury.

After hearing the situation introduced by the staff at the grain station, Qin Huairu thought of the actual situation of the Jia family, and quickly pleaded with the staff at the grain station: "Comrade! We are a family of five, and we only rely on my man's ration. Now you are

We have lost three kilograms of food. How will our family live?"

When the staff at the grain station heard Qin Huairu's plea, they were completely unmoved and replied expressionlessly: "Comrade! This is an order from above. It's not me who personally withheld your family's grain, and you didn't even bother to ask me."

use."

The middle-aged woman at the back saw Qin Huairu's hesitation and asked Qin Huairu dissatisfiedly: "Comrade! Do you want to buy food? If not, please give way?"

Qin Huairu, who was hesitating, heard the middle-aged woman's urging, quickly put the money on the counter, and said with a heavy heart: "Comrade! I want to buy the entire quota."

In the end, Qin Huairu left the Chengdong Grain Station with a heavy heart, carrying 24 kilograms of grain.

Yan Bugui had just walked to the entrance of the courtyard after get off work when he looked at Qin Huairu, who was walking towards him with a grain bag in his hand.

When Yan Bugui saw Qin Huairu's listless expression, he remembered the news Wu Aiguo had revealed to him, and quickly asked Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu! Are you coming back from the grain station? Has the grain station reduced our number this month?

Ration of food?”

Qin Huairu heard Yan Bugui's inquiry and thought about Jia Dongxu's ration being reduced by three kilograms. She replied solemnly: "Uncle! Dongxu's ration was reduced by one kilogram last month and two kilograms this month."

Jin, three kilograms of grain is our family’s ten-day ration. Tell me, what should we do?”

After Yan Bugui received Wu Aiguo's reminder, he spent all his family's money to buy food from the pigeon market.

Through these ten days of hard work, Yan Bugui moved more than 200 kilograms of food to his home using ants.

They all say that they have food in their hands and don't panic. Yan Bugui saw Qin Huairu's worried expression and thought of the food stored in their cellar, so he quickly reminded Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu! There is a very drought all over the country now.

It’s serious, resulting in a reduction in food production. If your family doesn’t want to go hungry, hurry up and take the money to go to Pigeon Market to buy some food and bring it back!”

After Qin Huairu said goodbye to Yan Bugui, she returned home with a grain bag. Jia Zhang, who was collecting shoe soles in the house, saw Qin Huairu holding a grain bag in her hand and cursed Qin Huairu in dissatisfaction: "Qin Huairu

!I asked you to buy some food, but why did it take so long?"

Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's question and thought about Jia Dongxu's ration being reduced, and replied with a sad look: "Mom! Dongxu's ration has been reduced by another two kilograms this month, and the grain station said that next time

The monthly quota is going to be reduced again, what do you think we should do?"

Jia Zhang, who was scolding Qin Huairu, learned that Jia Dongxu's ration had been reduced by another two kilograms. She immediately became anxious and quickly asked Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu! Why did the grain station reduce Dongxu's ration?

"

Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's question and thought of the news she learned from the grain station, and replied: "Mom! It's not just our Dongxu's ration that's being reduced, but everyone's ration is being reduced."

"In addition, when I just came back, I met the third uncle at the gate of the courtyard. The third uncle told me that this year there was a drought across the country due to lack of water, resulting in a large reduction in food production. This situation will last for a very long time. I suggest

We'd better buy some food and store it back."

When Jia Zhang heard the news Qin Huairu told her, she didn't believe what Qin Huairu said at all. She glared and asked Qin Huairu dissatisfied: "Qin Huairu! Yan Bugui is just a plan that has no profit and can't afford to be early."

Jing, he is so good, do you suggest you buy some food and save it?"

Jia Zhang's arrogance and unreasonableness made Qin Huairu feel very speechless. At this moment, she instinctively chose to remain silent, put the grain bag in the tank, and began to prepare the family's lunch.

At around 11 o'clock at noon, Wu Aiguo drove back to Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Director Jiang saw the small truck parked in the courtyard, walked out of the office quickly, and immediately asked Wu Aiguo: "Comrade Patriot! Have you implemented all the contents of the morning meeting?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Director Jiang's inquiry and saw his colleagues coming out of the office one after another, he reported to Director Jiang with a smile: "Director Jiang! Go and see for yourself in the carriage, there will be a surprise!"

Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's answer and quickly ordered an office clerk: "Xiao Liu! Hurry and bring two people to open the trunk of the car."

After hearing Director Jiang's instructions, Xiao Liu quickly pulled a colleague and opened the trunk of the car. What he saw were six fans of slaughtered pork.

"Pork! It's pork!" Xiao Liu shouted excitedly when he saw the six pork fans placed in the carriage.

When Director Jiang heard Xiao Liu's shout, he thought he had heard it wrong, and quickly walked to the back of the carriage. When he saw six slices of pork neatly arranged in the carriage, he quickly asked Wu Aiguo

: "Patriotic! What's going on with this pork?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Director Jiang's inquiry and saw the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, he smiled and replied: "Director Jiang! They say it's better to go early than to go by chance. When I went to the farm of my comrades, their farm was just right.

Killing pigs."

"I am a thick-skinned person. Since I had the chance to let him go, I used all my strength to shamelessly force one thousand kilograms of pork and five hundred kilograms of salted duck eggs from my comrades."

When Director Jiang heard the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, he thought that the comrades in the club could spend this Mid-Autumn Festival happily again, and replied happily: "It's good to be thick-skinned! It's good to be thick-skinned!"
