Chapter 134 Little Sophora japonica returns to the Jia family

The setting sun slowly sank, dyeing the sky golden. People who went to work came back one after another, and the courtyard gradually became lively. Qin Huairu was among the people leaving get off work, holding a cloth bag in her hand, and walked happily towards the Jia family in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu did not interact with Xiao Huaihua, and no one asked her to take a break after a day of work. She went into the kitchen on her own initiative, cooked a pot of very thin cornmeal porridge, and heated up some steamed buns.

The aroma of food that filled the courtyard was like a horn urging people to eat dinner. On the Jia family's dining table, everyone had a bowl of very thin cornmeal paste in front of them. Jia Zhang looked at the dinner in front of her, her face almost turned green with anger. Just as she was about to start scolding, she saw Qin Huairu bring out five large white flour buns from the kitchen.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as cutting corners when selling food, and there is no such thing as technology or hard work. The white flour steamed buns generally sold in restaurants are about 4 taels each; most of the workers in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill do hard work, so the white flour steamed buns served in the cafeteria are a little bigger than those on the market, about half a catty each.

When Jia Zhang saw the steaming white flour buns, she was shocked and asked in confusion, "Qin Huairu, your white flour buns are not dirty, right?"

Hearing Jia Zhang's questioning, Qin Huairu immediately defended herself aggrievedly, "It's my first day at work today. My coworkers saw that I had no money or tickets for lunch, so a few kind-hearted coworkers bought me lunch. I ate one and saved it for everyone to try."

Jia Zhang thought about it and felt that it made some sense. She grabbed one and started eating it, but she was cursing in her heart, "I worked hard for several months, but no one treated me to a bite! These bastards must have lost their souls when they saw this slut. They deserved to be cheated and deceived..."

Qin Jingru had enough food in her stomach because Xu Damao kept feeding her, so she didn't eat much, so she just broke off half of it and ate it; Banggeng, who was 7 years old, just picked up one and started to eat it without caring; Qin Huairu picked up the half that Qin Jingru had broken off and ate it slowly; Xiaodang, who was standing at the door of Jia's house, looked around at everyone in the room, but unfortunately there were a lot of white flour buns on the table, but no one called her.

Jia Zhang wolfed down a large white flour bun, and drank a bowl of cornmeal porridge to smooth her throat, and she was full. She frowned at the bun that was still more than half full in Bang Geng's hand, and picked up the remaining two on the table, and walked to the kitchen while instructing: "My eldest grandson can't finish one, so I put the remaining two in the cupboard and eat them tomorrow!"

Qin Huairu was unsure whether anyone would invite her to dinner tomorrow, so she kept silent and ate her dinner. Qin Jingru was now thinking about Xu Damao, so she didn't have the energy to care about these trivial matters, so she didn't say a word either. Bang Geng was still chewing the half bun in his hand with difficulty, and he had no objection. Xiao Dang, who was outside the door, looked at the big white flour bun held by Jia Zhangshi, hoping that a miracle would happen, "her grandmother would give her one..."

After a while, Qin Jingru finished eating and pretended to go to look after the little locust flower; Qin Huairu cleaned up the dishes and took them to the sink to wash; Jia Zhangshi stood by, urging Banggeng to finish the half steamed bun in his hand and the remaining half bowl of cornmeal porridge.

Banggeng was so angry that he took two big bites of the steamed buns, waved to Xiaodang outside the door, and shouted in the same arrogant way as Jia Zhang: "You bastard, show your dog-like behavior and I will give you a treat."

Xiaodang was so excited when she heard Banggeng calling her that she crawled into the Jia family with her tail wagging and begging for mercy, and kept calling "Wang, Wang, Wang..." Jia Zhang was watching her grandson happily on the side. Banggeng threw the leftover white flour buns on the ground with a silly smile, picked up the leftover cornmeal porridge on the table, and instructed Xiaodang who was only focused on swallowing the buns: "Remember to lick it clean. If you don't, I won't feed you next time, you little thief..."

Just as the Jia family was in a peaceful and joyful mood, Director Wang from the Street Office, accompanied by a clerk and followed by Yi Zhonghai, entered the middle courtyard. Before they entered the Jia family, a voice came first: "Hey, Jia Zhang, there is such joy at home today!"

When Jia Zhang saw that it was Director Wang from the Street Office, her face instantly tensed up, but she thought, "I haven't done anything wrong recently," so she politely replied, "Director Wang, why are you here? The children are just having fun."

"Okay, okay... Seeing that the Jia family is becoming more and more prosperous, I heard that Qin Huairu took your place and went to work as a worker in the steel mill." Director Wang asked naturally.

"Director Wang, you are really well-informed. It is true. Today is my first day at work!" Jia Zhang answered a little stiffly. She couldn't figure out why Director Wang asked this.

"That's right. According to the policy, Qin Huairu can transfer to a city hukou, and her daughter Xiaodang can follow her. In this way, your family members will have a quota and can enjoy the city's welfare." Director Wang explained.

When Jia Zhang heard what Director Wang said, she immediately started to think, "They will all have their rations. I want to hold the grain book in my hands, and they won't be able to eat a single grain of food. I can then sell it for money and exchange it for tickets..."

"Director Wang, Qin Huairu is taking over the Jia family's work position, so do they have to transfer their household registration and food supply to the Jia family?" Jia Zhang had her own plan and asked anxiously.

"Oh, ha... That's fine. You are the head of the Jia family now. Ask Qin Huairu to prepare the relevant certificates and information. You can bring them to the street office to handle it when the time comes. If you don't understand, you can come to me directly." Director Wang said politely and concernedly.

"Then I would like to thank Director Wang first." Jia Zhang thanked him with a smile.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, there is one more thing I want to make clear to you. Yi Zhonghai will be going to the mainland to support construction in a few days. Once he leaves, I really don't know when he will be back. So, you, the Jia family, have to raise this little Sophora japonica yourselves. You all have a ration now. This is not the time before when you had no food, no drink, and no benefits." Director Wang stared at Mrs. Jia Zhang and began to persuade her seriously.

"Director Wang, there is a fixed quantity of these small locust flowers, right?" Jia Zhang asked cunningly.

"Her household registration and food supply are now with Yi Zhonghai. You just need to come to the street office tomorrow to check!" Director Wang replied.

"Okay, okay... I'll come to you tomorrow." Jia Zhang's eyes were filled with greed as she happily agreed.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I have already notified everyone about the matter. We will leave first. You guys go about your business." After Director Wang finished speaking, he left with the clerk.

Yi Zhonghai, who was hiding aside, thought that today would be a difficult day, but he didn't expect Jia Zhang to be so generous. When he saw that nothing unexpected happened, he quietly slipped back home.

Jia Zhang was so excited watching Director Wang and others leave. She only thought about the extra quantities and bills, and had no intention of giving any to the mother and daughter, because she believed that these were all brought to them by the Jia family.

Qin Huairu was pleasantly surprised when she heard the conversation between Jia Zhang and Director Wang. But when she heard that Xiao Huaihua was no longer adopted by Yi Zhonghai, she felt empty. Seeing Yi Zhonghai quietly returning home, she wanted to fool him with a thousand words, but now she was working in the steel mill as a worker, with an income and a fixed salary, so she didn't know how to ask again...
