As if this was great news for me,
What did it mean for the rations of the rolling mill workers to be reduced by 30%...
Qin Huairu's family would be short of food.
The Qin family still had a white-eyed wolf who was growing fast. Awesome.
Given how biased Old Lady Jia was, how could she allow her precious grandson to starve? She would force Qin Huairu to go out and get food every day.
Food was Qin Huairu's lifeline.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the sealed bag behind him and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Now, even the heavens were helping him.
"Sister Huai Ru, look at this.”
Then, he said,
Yan Jiecheng opened the bag mysteriously. There were three to four catties of sweet potatoes and seven to eight giant potatoes inside. In total, there were thirty to forty catties.
"Sweet potatoes, potatoes."
Qin Hairu's eyes lit up.
Then, her eyes dimmed again. Although sweet potatoes and potatoes were good, they did not belong to her family.
"Jie Cheng, Third Master asked you to exchange for coarse grain again?”
"These sweet potatoes and potatoes are all very big. Where did you exchange them for coarse grains? In the future, I'm afraid I'll have to exchange them with you.〃
The rations for the workers in the rolling mill had been reduced by 30%. Qin Huairu was prepared to change all the fine grains to coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cornflour. Perhaps, her family could still hold on.
Otherwise, the family could only wait for death.
Exchange for coarse grain?
"Sister Huairu, I didn't go to exchange for coarse grain. My father is so stingy that he usually doesn't let me ride the bicycle. Moreover, the place where I exchange for coarse grain is in Yanjiao. It's so far away.〃
Qin Huairu: " You didn't change the coarse grain. Where did you get these sweet potatoes and potatoes?"”
This piqued Qin Hairu's curiosity.
Yan Jiecheng pretended not to care and said,"You said this,"
"I have a classmate whose father is the secretary of Nantai Commune. These were all given to me by my classmate. I heard that their family doesn't lack food and drink at all.”
"Sister Huai Ru, you still don't know, right?"
"Although farmers eat from a big pot, they also have their own plots of land. As long as they have the strength to open up wasteland, it will all belong to their own family. Therefore, after many people finish their collective plots, they will open up their own plots of land. This way, they can produce a lot of food every year.〃
Yan Jiecheng was not very familiar with the private plot of land in this era, so he tried his best to speak in a positive direction.
Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard the word 'private land'.
She was originally from the countryside. She was unlucky enough to marry into the capital and become a person who lived on commodity grain. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Before she could really live a good life, her husband passed away.
He left behind a young child and a sickly mother-in-law.
Unfortunately, she was a worker now, and there was no wasteland in the capital for her to develop.
"Jie Cheng, does your classmate really have a lot of food?”
Qin Huairu said in embarrassment," Can you help your sister's family? If your classmate's family really has a lot of food, can you lend me some? Don't worry, I'll return it to their family as soon as the food supply for our factory workers is restored."”
Then, he said,
Qin Huiru was too embarrassed to open her mouth.
In this day and age, relatives and family members would quarrel and fight over food, let alone ordinary people and strangers.
"Sister Huairu, this isn't very good."
"After all, that classmate of mine doesn't know you. I'm afraid he won't lend you the food." Yan Jiecheng said awkwardly.”
Qin Huairu's eyes dimmed.
"Jie Cheng, you go ahead. I'll go back and cook.〃
Don't go,
Yan Jiecheng started to panic when he saw Qin Huairu preparing to leave.
If you leave, how can I complete my mission?
He lowered his head and looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hands. He began to think. Didn't they say that Qin Huairu was a very casual person? As long as she could get food and drink, she would have no problem sleeping with anyone?
'Young master, I'm standing at your door with food.'
Why don't you say something?
Yan Jiecheng thought too much.
Qin Huairu could indeed be shameless for the sake of her child. However, she had treated Yan Jiecheng as a child and had never thought of him as a man or a woman.
"Sister Huai Ru, wait a moment.〃
"I know it's not easy for you to raise three children and a sickly old lady." Yan Jiecheng pulled Qin Huiru back and said.
"Now, the rolling mill has reduced the rations of your workers. In the future, your family's life will be even harder. I can't help you much. Take these sweet potatoes and potatoes back.”
Then, he said,
Yan Jiecheng handed her the bag of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Qin Huiru was stunned.
She looked at Yan Jiecheng in disbelief.
"Jie Cheng, what did you say? You want to give me all the sweet potatoes and potatoes, but your family's life is not good either."
"I appreciate your kindness. It's not easy for everyone in this era. They lack food and drink. Third Master is usually thrifty. If he knew that I took your family's food, I don't know what he would say.”
Yan Jiecheng's mouth twitched.
What was frugality?
Cheap dad, he was clearly stingy, alright?
Although Qin Huairu's words were very obscure, he could still tell that the other party was very worried.
Yan Jiecheng said," Sister Huairu, you don't have to worry. No one in our family knows about these sweet potatoes and potatoes. When I went back with my things just now, I saw that the door was locked. As long as you don't say it, no one will know.〃
"Right,"
"I'm so tired from helping my classmate dig sweet potatoes today. Our house is locked again."
"Can I go to your house to rest for a while?”
Then, he said,
Yan Jiecheng made a very tired expression and action.
"Of course, no problem. I still want to thank you for helping our family solve our urgent needs. Don't worry, as long as our family recovers, I'll return the food to you as soon as possible.〃
Qin Huiru happily carried the sweet potatoes and potatoes home.
She still didn't know that Yan Jiecheng was standing behind her. The corners of his mouth curled up into a mysterious smile.
"Squeak.〃
After Qin Huairu opened the door, she invited Yan Jiecheng to sit down. She also poured him a glass of water and started to prepare dinner.
……
"Jie Cheng.〃
"Wake up, it's time to eat.〃
Yan Jiecheng opened his eyes and saw Qin Huairu calling out to him with her head lowered.
From his angle, he could see some scenes that needed to be mosaicked.
