Chapter 38 38. The cause of death of Lao Jia
Difficult, difficult, difficult.
This is the life of the Jia family now, and it is really difficult.
Xu Damao also taught Lou Xiao'e how to make food with flour.
The Jia family has not seen the color of white noodles for several months.
Judging from this day and age, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e are immoral.
Some time ago, Jia's family was still full with whole grains, but now, let alone full, he didn't know where to go after one meal or another.
At the beginning, Jia Dongxu went to ask Yi Zhonghai for help. No matter where Yi Zhonghai got it from, he could always get some sweet potatoes, cornmeal, etc. for the Jia family.
But as time goes by, it becomes increasingly difficult outside.
The cornmeal at this stage is not corn kernels ground into powder, but corn cobs are also in it. If you eat this thing for a long time, I don’t know anything else. It is certain that you will not be able to pull out the pantothenic acid water.
In addition, there is no oil and water to lubricate, so the whole Jia family at this time looks like pregnant women. The one with the big belly is skinny.
Jia Dongxu is not much worse than Yan Bugui.
Although the Yan family has suffered hardships, under Yan Bugui's calculations, they can still eat coarse grains from the beginning of the month to the end of the month.
In fact, there is no other way, just take your own share of fine grains and go to the surrounding villages to exchange for some sweet potatoes, old pumpkins and the like.
Although Yan Bugui cried about poverty in the yard every day, he knew that there were sweet potatoes stuffed under the bed and pumpkins placed one after another on the beams.
This is something his family has been preparing for since last year.
Therefore, although the Yan family is full of food, they still have a little bit of substance in their stomachs.
In addition, Yan Bugui occasionally catches a few small fish and cooks some fish soup to moisten the intestines of several children.
But the Jia family is different. The Jia and Zhang family are completely counting on Yi Zhonghai.
In Jia Zhang's heart, as long as Yi Zhonghai is still here and can still receive wages, the Jia family will not be hungry.
So even when Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu's parents came to tell them last year that they would no longer get a share of the output of the ration fields, Jia Zhang was not nervous.
Although he made some sarcastic remarks to Qin Huairu's parents, he did not think of any solution.
Jia Dongxu came back disappointed again from the Yi family. It was not that the Yi family had no food, at least Yi Zhonghai still kept the rations for the couple and the old lady.
But what Yi Zhonghai is dissatisfied about is that at this time, the Jia family still doesn't want to save themselves, but still wants to suck blood from the Yi family. This is not authentic.
It's hard for Qin Huairu to raise children, but Jia and Zhang can definitely go back to their hometown to earn work points and eat from a big pot, which will reduce the burden on the Jia family.
Of course, this was just Yi Zhonghai's idea. He didn't know why Jia Zhang stayed in the city.
In fact, Jia Zhang's idea is very simple, that is, he doesn't believe Yi Zhonghai.
In the original drama, the courtyard is a closed-loop model, but Jia Zhang is definitely the one who can control Yi Zhonghai.
The ones at the bottom are naturally one pair of two fools, one stupid pillar and one stupid mao.
Now all this has been disrupted by Xu Damao, and Yi Zhonghai has also been demoted to the position of uncle.
In addition, Xu Damao exposed He Daqing's affairs. Although Yi Zhonghai was not sent in, it was impossible for Yi Zhonghai to make trouble in the yard again.
This kind of thing is like this. It seems to be a dead end thing, but in fact it is very simple to break it.
Jia Zhang also wanted to break the situation, so she approached Yi Zhonghai directly while the Yi family was having dinner.
Today, Mrs. Jia Zhang is not showing off or anything, and she no longer acts like she usually pretends to be humble in front of Yi Zhonghai and his wife.
He just walked into the Yi family's kitchen, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and started eating without even saying hello.
Yi Zhonghai's wife is very discerning, and she has been sleeping with Yi Zhonghai for decades. Understand what kind of person Yi Zhonghai is. If it weren't for something, even if Yi Zhonghai was blind, he would not choose Jia Dongxu to be their couple's caregiver.
But Gui Gui knows, just like she knew when Yi Zhonghai tricked He Daqing. Even if Yi Zhonghai was involved in a beheading scheme, she could only choose to help.
On the one hand, it was because Auntie had no income and had no choice but to rely on Yi Zhonghai.
On the other hand, she didn't think Yi Zhonghai had done anything wrong as a couple who slept together every day.
As the saying goes, if you don't belong to the same family, you don't belong to the same family.
Even in the original drama, this is the case. Every time Silly Zhu is cheated by Yi Zhonghai and wants to fall out, the aunt comes out to smooth things over.
Why? One is a good person and the other is a bad person.
There are no outsiders now, so the aunt will naturally stop pretending. He said in a cold voice: "Ms. Jia Zhang, what do you mean? Could it be that my old Yi helped you and helped an enemy?"
At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang was busy stuffing steamed buns. No matter how bad the Yi family's food was, it couldn't be compared to the Jia family's. They are also two-faced steamed buns. Yijia's steamed buns are smooth, with more white flour and less miscellaneous grains.
Jia Zhang stuffed a steamed bun into her mouth and swallowed it without chewing much.
Naturally, he choked, stretched his neck upwards, rolled his eyes, and pawed at the table randomly.
Yi Zhonghai wished that the old godly woman would choke to death, which would save him trouble.
It's just that this kind of thing will definitely not happen. Jia Zhang pulled the teapot on the table. At this time, she didn't care so much, and just took a few sips at the mouth of the pot.
The moment Mrs. Jia Zhang swallowed the steamed buns along with the tea, Yi Zhonghai and his wife felt a slight depression in their spirits.
This is not visual, but the three people in the room can feel it.
Mrs. Jia Zhang gasped for air, glanced at Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and suddenly laughed nervously.
Jia Zhang laughed arrogantly and said: "Yi Zhonghai, you two are very disappointed, aren't you? If God doesn't accept me, it's because Lao Jia is protecting me below. He asked me to look after you and pay back what we owe our Jia family. To the Jia family. Yi Zhonghai, don’t you want to pay it back?”
Yi Zhonghai had a livid face and remained silent, but the aunt pretended to be angry and tried: "What does my old Yi owe your family? Just tell me the number, and we will pay it back to you even if we break the pot and sell the iron."
At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang was ready to break up, so naturally she would not worry about anything else. Besides, there was no one else in the room, and she was not afraid of being stabbed out.
But even so, Jia Zhang didn't speak much loudly.
Mrs. Jia Zhang said with a painful face: "Life, your family Yi Zhonghai owes my Jia family life. How do you pay back? What do you want to pay back?"
These words shocked the aunt. If it was money or something, she could still pay it back.
Life, what can the two of them give in return?
Yi Zhonghai could no longer keep silent at this time, and said in a cold voice: "Ms. Jia Zhang, don't mess around. If you have anything to say, I will help you if I can.
Besides, I know why you are making trouble, and I really can't help it.
It's not about money now, it's about things that money can't buy now. What can I do? "
