Siheyuan: The Final Winner

the next day.

According to the usual practice, Jiang Ping'an is on vacation.

It was a bit late to come back from Lou Xiao'e at night.

Jiang Ping'an didn't get up until after midnight.

The yard was exceptionally quiet.

As the day of customs duty draws nearer, everyone's surplus food at home becomes less and less.

Jiang Ping'an carried the washbasin to the sink to wash up, and saw the three mothers opposite him with a sad face.

He didn't mind his own business, he didn't need to think about it, he knew that the Yan family should be running out of food.

They have a lot of families, and they only have Yan Pugui as a pillar, but their income is still low, so they can only live frugally.

In fact, it's not just that Yan Bugui's family is about to run out of food.

The same is true of many residents in the courtyard, who are almost out of food.

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

As for eating meat, it is even more impossible, even if you have a ticket.

Only after the disaster has passed, life will slowly get better.

After washing and returning home, Jiang Ping'an saw that the room was empty and the furniture was dilapidated.

So I hurried back to the bedroom to check the wood in the space.

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

"The pine wood is mature, but it's a pity that it's still a little small and needs to grow longer." Jiang Pingan took a few glances and thought to himself.

As for other woods, it takes longer to become a material, so let's not consider it for now.

"Strive to build a batch of pine furniture years ago!"

Jiang Ping'an thought about it and planned to buy all the furniture needed for the family within this year.

"By the way, I'm idle anyway, but I can use bamboo to weave some bamboo products first."

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

All are used everyday.

Bamboo products are solid in structure, unique in shape, exquisite in craftsmanship, smooth and smooth, with beautiful lines, durable, simple and elegant, dignified and generous.

Firm but not clumsy, delicate but not flimsy.

The most important thing is that the materials are easy to get and practical.

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

"There are still some tools missing." Jiang Ping'an secretly said.

Bamboo weaving tools include: bamboo knives, sword gates, bamboo saws, small saws, planers, pointed files, flat files, strips, drill pipes, scrapers, bamboo chisels, wire gauges, wooden compasses, inner cards, outer cards, etc.

To create beautiful and practical bamboo weaving, the necessary tools are indispensable.

Part of the set of carpentry tools he bought before can be used, but there is still a lot to be added.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ping'an thought to himself, "Let's talk about it after the payment is closed!"

He still owed others a lot of money, so he had to tell them in advance.

I want to use my wages to buy tools and wood after the customs duty.

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

By the way, I can also disclose my carpentry skills first, so that everyone can be mentally prepared.

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

He went out and saw that Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, Jia Dongxu and others had all returned.

Jiang Ping stepped forward and asked Yi Zhonghai, "Master, who are you?"

"There is a power outage in the factory, and everyone is on holiday." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu came over and asked Jiang Pingan:

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

"Going to go, you want to ask about your mother and sticks?" Jiang Pingan asked with a nod and a smile.

Jia Dongxu nodded, worried:

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

"Don't worry, the relief food is here, they won't die if you starve."

Jiang Pingan replied casually, paused, frowned and said:

"Since you are so worried about them, why do you want to drive them to the countryside?"

"Also, you only care about your mother and sticks?"

"You don't care about Qin Zhunru and Xiao Dang?"

Everyone around stared at Jia Dongxu, wanting to hear what he would say.

Jia Dongxu's scalp was numb, his face was flushed with embarrassment, he hesitated for a while, and then he said with a stiff neck:

"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?"

"Bang Geng is my son. To carry on the family line of the old Jia's family, I naturally have to care about him first."

"As for Qin Huairu and Xiao Dang, aren't her natal family taking care of them? I don't need to care about them."

Jiang Pingan looked at Jia Dongxu with disdain, and didn't want to talk to him, so he poohed and went back to the room.

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

Recently, Jia Dongxu has become more and more reckless. When he went out to gamble, he didn't even hide his whereabouts. He didn't return home at night for several days.

So everyone in the yard knew about it.

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

"This Jia Dongxu is a bastard, he'd better die early!" Jiang Ping'an thought to himself.

It's really unreasonable for this bastard to be able to marry Qin Huairu.

Jiang Pingan hid in the house and ate four big buns.

After smoking a cigarette, he walked to the yard for a walk.

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

"Silly Zhu, you didn't go to the factory this morning?" Jiang Pingan asked puzzled.

He Yuzhu looked back at him, sighed and said:

"Yesterday I stretched all day, and my whole body was exhausted. I really didn't want to go to the factory, so I asked my uncle to help me ask for leave."

As he spoke, he put the broom by the door, and brought a large basin out of the room, which contained a pile of clothes.

"Damn it, it stinks!" Jiang Pingan quickly moved away, even if he didn't smell it, he was still disgusted.

He Yuzhu gave him a blank look, didn't have the energy to argue with him, and silently went to the sink with the basin.

Jiang Ping'an was about to go for a stroll in the backyard when He Yuzhu asked curiously:

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

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

He Yuzhu didn't take it seriously, and enviously said: "It's also a skill to be able to borrow money!"

"Besides, you have all the three turns and one ring. Isn't it much easier to find a partner?"

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

He Yuzhu nodded and agreed: "That's right, just like me, you can't always find what you want."

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

"You look too greasy and look old, no one can see you."

He Yuzhu said unconvinced: "My family has two rooms, and I receive a salary of thirty-seven and five yuan."

"I'm also the squad leader of the cafeteria. I don't have to worry about food and drink. The conditions are so good. Do I need to put money on my face?"

"Then what are you talking about, hurry up and find a daughter-in-law and come back and take a look!" Jiang Pingan waved his hand and said with a pout.

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "Did I just stop talking? I didn't meet the right one."

While talking, I heard Xu Damao yelling in the corridor:

"Jiang Ping'an, Ezi told you to come to my house for lunch!"

"Understood!" Jiang Pingan responded, and asked He Yuzhu curiously:

"By the way, silly Zhu, you have been on blind dates countless times, right? What kind of partner do you want to find?"

—————————

What kind of object are you looking for.

He Yuzhu really didn't think about it carefully.

At this moment Jiang Ping'an asked, He Yuzhu pondered for a while, then replied:

"Looking for a partner based on my conditions, first of all, you must have an urban household registration, a good family background, and a job is even better."

"Secondly, the girl must be handsome, and her figure and appearance should not be inferior to Sister Qin's. I can't let Jia Dongxu compare."

"It would be even better if he was educated, with a bit of scholarly temperament, polite..."

Hearing the words, Jiang Ping'an sighed and said with a black thread:

"Silly Zhu, you should still be a bachelor!"

"What do you mean?" He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, wondering.

Jiang Ping'an said contemptuously: "A girl who meets the conditions you mentioned, what kind of object can't be found?"

"Yes, I admit that cooks are very popular these days, but you can't treat yourself like a golden egg!"

"Recognize the reality, silly Zhu, if you really look for a partner according to this standard, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"

No wonder this guy is so obsessed with Qin Huairu.

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

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

Don't say he is whimsical!

It's only said that the girl has this condition, the young heroes in Forty-Nine City are not picked at random!

But why did they choose you as a cook?

"Hey! Jiang Ping'an, don't look down on me, I really want to find someone like this." He Yuzhu said unconvinced.

Jiang Ping'an pursed his lips and waved:

"Then go find it and spend your whole life verifying that what I said is true!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Pingan turned around and walked towards the backyard, too lazy to argue with He Yuzhu.

Xu Damao was hiding around the corner. Seeing Jiang Ping'an approaching, he leaned forward and asked:

"Stupid with a look of displeasure, what did you just tell him?"

Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Xu Damao, why are you like a gossip woman who always likes to inquire about all kinds of things?"

"Hey, am I at odds with Sha Zhu? That's why I asked." Xu Damao laughed dryly and explained.

Jiang Pingan waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to get involved in your affairs. If you want to know anything, you can ask him yourself."

Naturally, Xu Damao 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 Sifang table, and Lou Xiaoe was sitting on one side, peeling the shells.

"Is it safe? Sit here." Lou Xiao'e raised her head and said with a slight smile.

"Sister Xiao'e." Jiang Pingan called her with a nod, sat down beside her, and grabbed a handful of peanuts to help peel.

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

"Jiang Ping'an, I heard that Director Wang of the cafeteria has reached his age and will retire next year. Do you have any ideas?"

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

The rank of the director of the rolling mill is not low. If he is placed in a local area, he can be the head of a county.

At worst, he can also 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, I naturally have an idea." Xu Damao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a beaming smile:

"If I become the director of the cafeteria, will Silly Zhu still be subdued by me?"

Jiang Pingan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are dreaming!"

"Let's not talk about whether you can become the director of the cafeteria, even if you do, you will not be able to deal with Silly Zhu."

"Don't forget, Shazhu has such a stubborn temper that even Deputy Director Li dares to beat him up, let alone you?"

Xu Damao snorted coldly, raised his head and said, "Hmph! As long as I can become the director of the cafeteria, I will have my own way to deal with him!"

"Then I wish you good luck. You became the director of the cafeteria earlier, and then you were beaten to death by Sha Zhu!" Jiang Ping'an said disdainfully.

Xu Damao hummed a few times, and after peeling a few peanuts, he opened his mouth, hesitated, and held back.

Jiang Ping'an naturally saw his little movements, but pretended not to, and turned his head to talk to Lou Xiao'e in a low voice.

Xu Damao's face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, before he bit the bullet and said:

"Jiang Pingan, you have a good relationship with the leader, can you give me a few words of kindness?"

Jiang Pingan laughed loudly, pointed at Xu Damao, and said angrily:

"Xu Damao, your brain is grounded, right?"

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

Jiang Pingan said, "How old are you?"

"Educated but not high, and has no qualifications, let alone no great credit."

"Do you know what level the canteen director is?"

"Do you know how many levels you are now from the canteen director?"

"Good guy, you just want to be promoted from an ordinary projectionist to the director of the cafeteria, tsk tsk..."

Jiang Pingan shook his head and sighed, he was too embarrassed to hit Xu Damao.

To say that the current projectionists are really popular.

For example, Xu Damao now receives the salary of a clerk at level 26 and level 8, which is 33 yuan per month.

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

Not only that, when projectionists go out to show movies, they not only have face, but also are respected.

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

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

After a month, Xu Damao's income was no worse than Jiang Ping'an's.

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

Xu Damao was stunned.

Don't look at him often flirting with the leader behind him, he really didn't think so much.

In his view, what to do, isn't it just a word from the leader?

Ingratiate yourself with the leader, and then secretly send some gold bars over there, won't the matter be settled?

Now listen to Jiang Ping'an's words carefully.

Xu Damao suddenly panicked with embarrassment, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and slip down.

Jiang Pingan laughed and asked, "Now you know why I have no idea about the canteen director?"

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

Jiang Pingan hated that iron could not be made into steel, and stared and said:

"Because it's out of reach, who doesn't want to be a leader if it's within reach?"

"Your grandma, why didn't you tell me before? It made me almost make a fool of myself!" Xu Damao said angrily from embarrassment.

Jiang Pingan stood up abruptly and punched Xu Damao on the forehead.

"You really can't tell the difference between good and bad things."

"I kindly remind you, is it still my fault?"

Xu Damao was so dizzy from being hit that he fell upside down from the bench, with his feet in the air, screaming.

"Hey, don't hit me, am I lost in the lake?" Xu Damao panicked and yelled, holding his head.

Jiang Pingan punched him, vented his anger, and sat down slowly.

Seeing that there was no movement, Xu Damao squinted his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.

It was true that I was wrong just now, and Jiang Ping'an is not a fool, so he should try not to offend if he can.

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

If offended, Jiang Ping'an would really go to his section chief and blatantly apply eye drops.

At that time, the unlucky one will still be himself.

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

After recovering, he found that his forehead hurt a little.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and there was a bump the size of an egg on his forehead, and when he touched it lightly, his heart ached.

"Hey young man, Jiang Ping'an, you are too cruel, aren't you?" Xu Damao was about to burst into tears.

Jiang Ping'an snorted, "Hmph, I just want to make you remember!"

—————————

Xu Damao was punched by Jiang Ping'an.

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

Because if Jiang Ping'an hadn't reminded him today, he might really make a fool of himself.

When the time comes, lick your face to curry favor with the leader, and send out the gold bars piece by piece.

At that time, not only will it cost money and lose face, but it will also leave a bad impression on the leaders.

At the same time, what happened today also reminded Xu Damao.

Although he was conceited and shrewd, Jiang Ping'an was even more lazy, slanderous, and shrewd, and rarely suffered a disadvantage.

If I have any doubts in the future, I can really discuss it with Jiang Ping'an in advance.

"It's just that the relationship between him and Ezi is too good!" Xu Damao felt a little apprehensive.

It's not that 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 up.

That's all for Lou Xiao'e, her own mother-in-law can deal with it at will, but Jiang Ping'an is not easy to mess with.

As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you need stolen goods, and if you catch a traitor, you need double.

This kind of matter related to reputation, if you don't catch it on the spot, you can't speak it, and you can't even make a joke.

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

Criticism in the courtyard is fine, but Jiang Ping'an is a vengeful master.

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 cannot fire workers.

But the labor reform in the decentralized workshops, cleaning toilets, salary downgrades and many other means are enough to make people suffer.

The lunch meal was cooked by Xu Damao.

As long as he was at home, Jiang Ping'an seldom cooked when he came over for dinner, and he completely regarded himself as a guest.

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

Lou Xiaoe felt very embarrassed that there was no meat to eat.

I hurriedly went to make a plate of peanuts that had been shelled in the morning, and served them with wine.

"You just protect him too much. In terms of our family's life, there is no one in the whole courtyard that can compare!"

Xu Damao frowned, feeling very upset.

This bitch is so blatant, she treats Jiang Pingan better than herself.

The point is that Lou Xiao'e has always been like this, Xu Damao said that her heart was tired, and she still didn't change.

As soon as Xu Damao complained, Lou Xiaoe went to the room and took out his treasured Wuliangye.

"Hey, what are you doing? You didn't take that back from your mother's house, did you? It's mine!"

Xu Damao was taken aback, 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?"

Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes and said, hugging the bottle of wine tightly, dodging left and right.

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

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

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

"Hey, I said you are too generous, you prodigal bitch?" Xu Damao was so angry that his nostrils were smoking.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care so much, she came to Jiang Pingan'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 happily.

After taking Wuliangye, Jiang Pingan lifted it up and shook it, then asked Xu Damao:

"Drink it? If you don't drink it, I will take it away."

"Drink, this is my wine, why not drink it?"

Xu Damao sat down angrily, and said angrily.

Jiang Pingan poured three glasses of wine, handed one to Xu Damao, and said with a smile:

"Hey, come and taste the wine that costs five yuan a bottle!"

Then he handed another cup to Lou Xiao'e. After she took it, she smiled slightly and said:

"It's definitely not as good as the eight yuan a bottle of Moutai!"

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

"Moutai has a sauce-flavored flavor, while Wuliangye has a strong-flavored flavor, so they taste different."

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

"Do you know now? Whether the wine is good or not depends not on the price, but on personal taste."

"Okay, you win, right? Are you embarrassed to compete with me, a woman?" Lou Xiao'e said with her mouth pursed.

Xu Damao blushed, Jiang Pingan laughed, raised his glass and said, "Don't make noise, drink, hehe..."

...

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

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

It seems that as long as these two people are not around, this courtyard will be very quiet, and there will be very few disputes.

"I really hope they never come back!" Jiang Pingan hoped in his heart.

But he knew it was impossible.

Putting Qin Huairu aside, it would be considered pretty good if Jia Zhang could persist until Jia Dongxu came back after paying his salary.

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

After all, her life in the country was too hard, it was not human at all.

"Peace, don't go, come here."

Just thinking about something, when passing by Yi Zhonghai's house, he heard him yelling in the house.

Jiang Pingan turned around and came to Yi Zhonghai's home.

"Master, what do you want from me?"

At this time, I saw the big mother coming out of the room with a suit of clothes in her arms, and said with a pleasant face:

"Ping An, the winter clothes I made for you are ready."

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

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandmother, you are so kind to me!" Jiang Pingan said gratefully.

I took the padded jacket from the aunt. The fabric is blue, with a small lapel and exposed buttons.

There is a pocket on the upper left side of the clothes without a cover, and there are two pockets on the left and right below, both with covers.

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

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Go inside and try it out to see if it fits."

Jiang Pingan nodded, and he was not polite, and went into the room with his clothes in his arms.

Soon, he changed his clothes and came out.

He stamped his hands, twisted his waist, and said with a smile on his face:

"It fits, it fits so well, it's just right!"

"Ping'an is just a clothes rack, you can look good in any clothes!" The first mother said comfortingly.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "It fits well, you don't need to change it anymore, just take the clothes back home safely."

"Okay, then I'm not polite, I like this suit very much." Jiang Ping'an said happily.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Come to the countryside tomorrow, I'll go find some bee candy and give it to you two old men."

"You are not allowed to refuse, otherwise I will not dare to accept your things in the future."

Yi Zhonghai and his wife looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Alright, this is Ping An's filial piety, and we can't let it down, right?"

"I haven't eaten bee candy for many years, we will accept it when the time comes." The first mother said happily.

Then, Jiang Ping'an went back to the room to change his clothes, exchanged some pleasantries, and left with his new padded jacket in his arms.

After he left, the first mother sighed:

"This child is indeed benevolent and kind, and he can remember others' kindness to him."

—————————

Back home with clothes.

Jiang Pingan took a basin of water and washed his face well.

Xu Damao, a bastard, risked vomiting blood in his stomach to compete with him for wine, and he did succeed in getting him to drink a lot.

After being stimulated by the icy cold water, Jiang Ping'an suddenly became sober.

Putting the washbasin back on the washstand, Jiang Ping'an turned on the radio and tuned to a storytelling book.

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

"Ping An, can you make the volume louder? Your Third Master also wants to hear a few words."

Jiang Ping turned around and smiled, without refusing, and turned his voice to the maximum.

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

Yan Bugui gave a thumbs up and said enviously.

Jiang Pingan brought two small benches to the door, handed one to Yan Bugui, and said with a smile:

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

In fact, the courtyard is full of package lamp users.

Monthly billing is based on the number of lighting lamps and the power wattage.

First count the light bulbs and then pay the electricity bill. This method is called "light package system".

The method of operation is to count the bulbs, and the electricity bill depends on the wattage of the lights.

For example, the electricity bill is 0.15 yuan per month for each 15-watt light bulb.

A 25-watt light bulb costs 0.25 yuan, and a 40-watt light bulb costs 0.4 yuan.

At that time, 15-watt bulbs were the most commonly used, and only rich people were willing to use 25-watt bulbs.

Unconsciously, ordering big bubbles to repay small bubbles also happens in some other people's homes from time to time.

In order to put an end to this phenomenon and make it fair and reasonable, people invented the method of sticking seals.

It is to paste a seal with the famous stamps of each company on the lamp mouth, so that people cannot secretly change the big bubble.

Yan Bugui was used to it, afraid that the radio would count as a light bulb, so he used the battery to listen to it occasionally.

Every time I turn the volume down to a very low level, it is said that the sound consumes a lot of power.

He smiled awkwardly, took the bench and sat down, listened to a few words, and asked in surprise, "Is this "Gunshots in the Plain"?"

"Third Master? Don't you just like to listen to the news?" Jiang Pingan asked with a smile.

Yan Bugui laughed dryly, raised his glasses, and replied, "I've heard a little bit, but I don't dare to listen too much."

"I know, it consumes electricity!" Jiang Ping'an nodded with a comprehending expression.

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

His family's income is small, and they have to support so many people. It is impossible to live without planning.

These days, in fact, every household is similar, and they have to live by calculation.

Especially for stuttering, it broke my heart.

Even if all members of the family have urban hukou, the food quota is still not enough.

From time to time, we need to search for some miscellaneous grains, such as dried yams, corn, and sweet potatoes, to supplement the food gap.

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

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

That's why Liang Ladi, Qin Huairu, and Liu Lan wanted something to eat.

An important reason why he was willing to take the risk of being discovered by others to mess around with Jiang Pingan secretly.

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

The two were listening to storytelling when Liu Guangqi, the eldest of the second uncle's family, walked out of the backyard with his hands in his hands.

Yan Bugui looked back and asked curiously, "Guang Qi, have you settled down on your work?"

"Still waiting for the letter, third master, yo, you just listened to it?"

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

He took a few steps, took out cigarettes from his pocket, and handed Jiang Pingan and Yan Bugui one each.

"I don't have any benches at home, so you can borrow one from the third master's house!" Jiang Pingan said with a smile after receiving the cigarette.

Yan Bugui put away the cigarettes, nodded with a smile and said, "Go, get it yourself."

Liu Guangqi groaned, trotted to Yan Bugui's house, brought a small bench over, and sat beside Jiang Ping'an.

The three of them swallowed clouds and smoke, Jiang Ping'an said with a smile:

"Second uncle seems to love you so much, he even smoked peony!"

After taking a puff of cigarette, Liu Guangqi slowly shook his head and said, "I'm rarely beaten."

Jiang Pingan nodded silently, thinking, no wonder this guy moved away after getting married and rarely came back.

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

"Old Liu's way of educating children is still a bit wrong." Yan Bugui interrupted suddenly.

Jiang Pingan said with a smile: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. The second uncle takes care of his own children, so it's not easy for outsiders to get involved."

These days, it is quite normal for parents to beat their children.

It's just that the bangs are too extreme, there is no distinction between right and wrong, or seriousness.

He only dotes on the eldest son, but he always fights with the second and third.

"That's right, it's really hard for outsiders to say anything about Lao Liu's education of children." 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 long way to go, can you help me find a better job?"

"You're a high school student, so it's easy to find a job. The second uncle will help you make arrangements." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

These days, college students and technical secondary school students are provided with assignments, but high school students are not.

But now there are relatively few high school students, so they all pay attention to it, and it is quite easy to find a job.

But to find the desired job, 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?"

"Don't pick and choose, no matter what kind of job it is, it's also a contribution to the country!" Jiang Ping'an said.

Having said that, Liu Guangqi is a proper white-eyed wolf who can abandon his parents and ignore him.

Besides, he wanted a good job when he opened his mouth, so what kind of job is a good job?

I don't know if he's out of his mind or what.

The relationship between the two is not good at all, and Jiang Pingan doesn't owe him favors, so why should he help him?

And even if Liu Haizhong came forward and offered a generous gift to beg, Jiang Ping'an would not help.

It would be disgusting to help a white-eyed wolf like Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi was very displeased when he saw that Jiang Ping'an always refused what he said, and felt that he was not human.

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

However, no matter how upset Liu Guangqi was, he didn't dare to show embarrassment to Jiang Ping'an.

Under the shadow of Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi's ability to observe people's words and expressions is very good, and he knows who can't be messed with.

Don't say how wild Jiang Pingan's life is outside, just say that he is in the courtyard.

Isn't Jia Zhang's such an arrogant and domineering person also subdued by him?

Sha Zhu has such a bad temper, and I have never seen him blow his hair in front of Jiang Ping'an.

Xu Damao, that bad pus-filled villain, was also held down by Jiang Ping'an, and he didn't even dare to bicker too much.

Not to mention the three uncles in the yard, it seems that they rarely trouble Jiang Ping'an.

This all shows that Jiang Ping'an has done a lot of things, overtly or secretly, in order to keep this group of people from provoking him as much as possible.

—————————

Liu Guangqi walked away in dismay.

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

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

After a while, after listening to a piece of storytelling, Jiang Pingan talked to Yan Bugui, then got up and turned off the radio.

Yan Bugui was reluctant to let go, but he still went home with a happy face.

For him, after listening to the radio for so long today, it is a big fortune.

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

Seeing his frown, Jiang Pingan asked with a smile: "Jia Dongxu, are you going to the table again?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just going out for a stroll." Jia Dongxu panicked, wanting to cover up.

Jiang Pingan smiled, leaned forward and asked in a low voice:

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped and won't gossip around."

"Do you see when I was in the yard, when did I chew other people's tongues?"

Jia Dongxu calmed down a bit, took out a cigarette, handed one to Jiang Pingan, nodded and said in frustration:

"I'm so unlucky during this time, I've lost next month's ration!"

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

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

Jiang Pingan took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, squinted his eyes and said calmly:

"You're a dog who can't change eating shit!"

"It's a good day, but I still want to gamble. I don't need to explain the reason why I lose nine out of ten bets?"

"You still have the nerve to borrow it from me. Didn't I die in the yard too?"

Jia Dongxu frowned and said, "You're different, you trade coarse grains for fine grains."

"I said you are too delicate, right? How can anyone eat fine grains every day these days?"

"In this way, next month, you don't need to change to fine grains, but give me some coarse grains."

"You have a big face!" Jiang Ping'an pursed his lips and said angrily:

"Our relationship is not so far, is it?"

"Why should I not eat the fine grains, but save the grains for you to gamble?"

Jia Dongxu quickly said: "I don't gamble, I borrow your food to support the family, really."

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

"Also, your old lady and Qin Huairu are coming back soon, let me see how you explain to them."

"At that time, a few mouths are waiting to be fed, you can't just drink the northwest wind, right? Hehe..."

Jia Dongxu flinched childishly, but Qin Huairu was not afraid of him, it was Jia Zhangshi's fangs and claws that terrified him.

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

These days, he's been preoccupied with gambling, without thinking too much about it.

When Jiang Ping'an reminded him at this moment, he suddenly panicked.

"Help me, don't help!" Jiang Pingan gave him a blank look, threw away the cigarette, turned and left.

Jia Dongxu quickly chased after him, and said while walking:

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

"It's not rare!" Jiang Ping'an said without turning his head.

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

Suddenly, he stopped, and Jia Dongxu was overjoyed, thinking that things had turned around.

But Jiang Pingan turned around and asked curiously, "By the way, you won't lose all your family savings, right?"

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

Jiang Pingan looked at him for a few moments, cut his voice, and said, "You really lost all your savings, hehe..."

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't touched the family savings at all." Jia Dongxu's face was pale, and he said firmly.

Jiang Pingan rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and said:

"Do you think I'm a fool? If you really have savings, you should have gone to Pigeon City to find a solution!"

There is actually nothing in Pigeon City now, most of them are out looking for food.

However, food is expensive these days, and few people sell it. It is estimated that the situation will improve after a few years.

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath, bit the bullet and argued:

"Food control is extremely strict these days, and I dare not take huge risks to go wandering in the pigeon market."

Jiang Pingan laughed and said, "How about I take you there?"

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

Jia Dongxu clenched his teeth and bowed his head in silence.

Jiang Pingan cut his voice and said: "Tell me hard, if you don't have money, you have no money, and I won't say it out.

��”

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

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

Jiang Pingan laughed angrily, took a step forward, moved Jia Dongxu's hair vigorously, and cursed angrily:

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

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

"Just because you Jia Dongxu has a big face? You don't have a big face! I can beat you to pieces with one punch!"

Jia Dongxu screamed and burst into tears from the pain as he was moved, and dodged left and right.

But Jiang Ping'an caught him tightly and couldn't hide.

"Oh! Jiang Ping'an, stop, your hair has been ripped off!"

"Aww! I won't ask you to borrow it, you should let go, I won't let you help!"

When the people in the yard heard the commotion, they all came out to watch the excitement, but no one stepped forward to dissuade them.

Depending on the situation, Jiang Ping'an is cleaning up Jia Dongxu again.

The Jia family was not popular in the courtyard, so naturally no one spoke for Jia Dongxu.

If Qin Huairu is here.

She stepped forward to cry and cry, maybe some people would feel unbearable and speak out to dissuade her.

But today, Jia Dongxu deserved to be dealt with by Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an laughed.

Grabbing his hair with one hand and his ears with the other, he rubbed his face and nose violently, and said with a sneer:

"Whose father are you going to be? You bastard, you won't be able to file a house for three days!"

"Aww! I was wrong, you are me, you are me, right? I was wrong, let go, ohh..."

Jia Dongxu burst into tears in pain, Jiang Pingan saw him begging for mercy, and pushed him away in disgust.

"It's disgusting!" Jiang Ping'an pursed his lips and walked to the sink to wash his hands.

Jia Dongxu didn't dare to say another word, and hurried home with his head in his arms.

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

"He wants to borrow food from me." Jiang Ping'an washed his hands, flicked the water droplets, and said with a look of resentment.

"Third Master, you judge me, I don't have enough food for myself, yet he asks me to borrow it."

"Tell me, what kind of heart does he have? He's so vicious, is he trying to starve me to death?"

"Uh..." Yan Bugui was choked, and said dryly, "Then he really has evil intentions..."

Then, he smiled, turned around and took the third mother who came over to go back.

I was afraid that Jiang Ping'an would say that he was short of food again, and asked him, the third master, to help out with ideas.

"Cut, if you dare to shake my qualifications as the third master, I will dare to borrow money from you!" Jiang Ping'an said with a pursed mouth.
