Chapter 40 40, 1 Seeing Huairu ruins her life
So the Jia family really didn't save much money in the past few years, and the little money they had was exchanged for food in the pigeon market.
The difference is that at the beginning, I bought refined grains and meat. Later, after the support from both sides of the Qinjia and Jia villages was cut off, they replaced them with coarse grains.
There are always more difficult problems.
It just so happens that this year, the white flour that usually sells for one or two cents per catty in the pigeon market has now gone up to several yuan per catty and is still out of stock.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although prices have fluctuated, they have never been the same as this year. In fact, from the second half of this year to the first half of next year, or about one year, the price of food in Pigeon City has risen to an extraordinary level.
Probably more than seven or eight times, but this also has a prerequisite.
One is that if you don’t have food stamps, you can only go to the pigeon market, and those who do it in the pigeon market are taking risks. When this happens, the price will definitely increase.
Second, people like Jiajia Village have some savings, but they dare not take it out, and they don’t dare and have no way to cash it out.
So when Jia Zhang proposed to exchange money for some coarse grains, Jia Dongxu's uncles and uncles, although they all claimed that they didn't have any, after Jia Zhang raised the price twice, they all offered to help Dongxu in the village. Put some together.
The premise is of course that Jia Dongxu has to make his own fortune.
This matter is naturally risky, let alone the militia in the commune and the joint defense of the four and nine cities. Even if the news leaks out and others become jealous, they will do some immoral things.
But since the pigeon market can tolerate it, naturally it is better to turn a blind eye to this aspect. As long as it is not too big, it will weigh more than ten or dozens of pounds in a week. Unless it happens to happen, it will not be too big. serious.
People say that Mrs. Jia Zhang doesn’t have such brains, but she really underestimates her.
In the original drama, if it weren't for the Jia Zhang family, Qin Huairu would have guarded the Jia family for the rest of his life?
A widow raised her son and gave him a chance to start a family. After the son's death, he was able to keep his daughter-in-law, who was in her prime of life, and supported the Jia family for decades.
Can an incompetent person do this?
Jia Zhang's side is making good progress, but Qin Huairu's side hasn't accomplished anything, and they even chipped in with a few dollars.
After all, I am young and care about face, so I always bring some gifts or something when I go back to my parents’ home. Naturally, she used the private money she deducted when buying groceries.
Then she returned to her parents' home and was fooled by her brothers and sisters. I was too embarrassed to tell my family that I was going to starve to death.
It wasn't until I returned to the city that I remembered the situation at home and the scolding Jia Zhang would have to face when I returned home.
My mood suddenly became uncomfortable. It was not necessary to cry, but my eyes were red and I was definitely wandering outside the yard.
It just so happened that Comrade Shazhu cooked for a certain leader's house today and brought back some good things.
Comrade Silly Zhu must be in a good mood recently, and the misunderstanding with He Daqing has been clarified. Recently, I have sorted myself out after listening to Xu Damao’s advice.
In addition, he spends a lot of money to seek a child, no, he spends a lot of money to seek marriage, and he has made some progress, so he naturally smiles.
The reason for the slight progress is that the matchmaker recently introduced two people. Although Comrade Shazhu didn't like them, they had a good impression of him.
Apart from anything else, Comrade Shazhu's vision in choosing a partner is quite high in the courtyard.
There was slight progress in these two times, and Comrade Shazhu regained all the self-confidence he had lost. I consciously want to find someone who is not inferior to the sister-in-law of the Jia family next door.
The sister-in-law of the Jia family is naturally not Jia Zhang, but the young and beautiful Qin Huairu.
Comrade Shazhu was carrying his lunch box and humming a tune, thinking of Qin Huairu. Coincidentally, he saw Qin Huairu just outside the courtyard gate.
Comrade Shazhu is now having a falling out with the Yi Zhonghai family. Yi Zhonghai must also blame the Jia family for tormenting He Daqing because of insufficient housing for his apprentice Jia Dongxu.
But Sha Zhu can't hate Qin Huairu. It's definitely not because of Qin Huairu's beauty, but because Sha Zhu thinks that he, a man, can't get angry with a girl no matter what.
Especially when Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu with her head lowered, wandering back and forth outside the courtyard gate, occasionally sobbing.
Silly Zhu couldn't help but wonder: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, what are you doing here?"
Qin Huairu raised her head when she heard the words, and a pair of red and swollen peach blossom eyes were first revealed in front of Silly Zhu. There is no need to look at the exquisite appearance, these eyes make Comrade Shazhu fall in love.
It is said that when a woman is most charming, she is either smiling lightly caressing the dust, or she is sad when she is hurt by the world.
Of course, all this is for beautiful women. If you look like Zhu Bajie or his second aunt, no matter how much you laugh or cry, others will treat you like a fool.
Is Qin Huairu a beauty?
must be.
But now Qin Huairu's fear and uneasiness, her despair about her life at home, and her self-blame for not accomplishing anything when she returned to her parents' home, were all well revealed in Comrade Qin Huairu's eyes.
Although Qin Huairu held back and did not cry, Shazhu seemed to have read all Qin Huairu's thoughts and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Therefore, when a bachelor chooses a neighbor, he must not choose a wife who is too beautiful. Otherwise, even if you are not emotional, it will be easy to raise your own aesthetics.
That is to say, it is difficult to find a wife.
Although Silhu felt distressed, he didn't think about what was or wasn't, but he asked with concern that it was yes.
Comrade Shazhu didn't even feel that his tone of voice had changed. Shazhu asked hesitantly: "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Huairu said in a panic: "It's okay, it's okay, Silly Zhu, I just forgot something. This is urgent."
Now Silly Zhu, since Xu Damao explained to him last time how nicknames hindered his blind date. Now I have to say hello to all acquaintances, and I have to call them by their names. I am not allowed to call them Silly Zhu anymore.
But when Qin Huairu called him Silly Zhu, he felt a particularly cordial feeling.
Of course, this must be because Silly Zhu felt wrong.
This is not always the case for anyone who meets a beautiful woman. She occasionally smiles and makes a fuss. This is how she usually treats others, but some people may misunderstand her.
Silly Zhu expressed some more concern, but Qin Huairu was so annoyed that she simply walked into the courtyard.
Comrade Silly Zhu looked at that enchanting figure with inexplicable thoughts.
What a crime.
After all, a shadow has been buried, and it is always the fate of Silly Pillar.
But Qin Huairu didn't feel any difference. There were many men who saw her in a daze, and she didn't care if there was another stupid person.
When Qin Huairu entered the house, he saw that Jia Zhang had returned. Qin Huairu walked up to Jia Zhang anxiously and said, "Mom, Mom, I don't have any extra things from my mother's side."
Mrs. Jia Zhang raised her head and glanced at Qin Huairu. When she saw Qin Huairu's red and swollen eyes, she didn't understand. It was because her daughter-in-law had failed and was feeling sad outside.
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Is it counting on you?
Hum, forget it, I got it over there. Hurry and wash yourself and cook. Make more. Today I want Dongxu to pull food. "
