Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

After returning home, Hong Guan found a bullock cart master in advance. The next day, two bullock carts carried Jia Dongxu's body and his family of four. Hong Guan followed on his bicycle and returned to Jiajia Village to bury Jia Dongxu.

When they returned home, it was already past four in the afternoon. Hong Guan was not in a hurry to ask Lou Xiao'e and the others to come back. After all, they had good food and accommodation at Lou's house, so it was no problem for them to stay a few more days.

The Jia family was indeed in a gloomy mood. Jia Zhang was pounding her legs. She had gone up the mountain to bury Jia Dongxu today and had walked a lot of mountain roads. For someone like her who loved eating and doing nothing, she could not bear it any longer.

After dinner, Qin Huairu was washing dishes listlessly. Jia Zhang asked Banggeng to look after Xiaodang, and she also went to the kitchen.

"Huai Ru, from now on, the family will all depend on you. I'm old, and I hope I can stop being a burden to you. We must cooperate well in the future and not let others bully us."

"I know, mom. Hong Guan found a good master for me. Although she is only a level 5 fitter, I heard that she has a solid foundation and is willing to teach me. Most importantly, she is also a woman."

Jia Zhang nodded and said, "That's good. I didn't realize that Hong Guan is quite particular."

Qin Huairu turned her back to Jia Zhangshi, without looking back, and pouted, "She has always been very nice to me, and it was you who offended her. Fortunately, Hong Guan did not bear grudges, otherwise the Jia family would be in trouble."

"Yes, this time Dongxu got into trouble, and everyone else was watching. If Hongguan hadn't helped, I would be completely in the dark about the factory's affairs, and I might even be cheated.

I heard from Hong Guan that Yi Zhonghai also wanted to be my master, but he rejected him. Yi Zhonghai, that old man, looks honest, but the way he looks at me is very similar to Sha Zhu, which makes me uncomfortable. "

Speaking of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang was a little embarrassed. The Jia family had a falling out with Yi Zhonghai. One reason was that Yi Zhonghai did not teach her real skills, and the other was her unclear relationship with Yi Zhonghai, which made Jia Dongxu lose face.

"Yeah, you have to be careful of him in the future. That old guy is not a good person. And that idiot Zhu, you should stay away from him too. The men in their He family are all sick and like other people's wives and widows!"

Qin Huairu's forehead was full of black lines. Why don't you just say that you had an affair with He Daqing in the past, and he was a man from the He family!

"I know mom!"

"Alas, I just don't know how long Hong Guan can help us. Don't blame me for thinking too much. The relationship between Dong Xu and Hong Guan will be used up sooner or later. If we want to maintain a relationship with him, it depends on you!"

Qin Huairu paused after brushing her hand, and turned back in disbelief, "Mom, what do you mean?"

In Jia Zhang's triangular eyes, there was a look of reminiscence, "Women are women after all. It's too difficult these days, especially for you in the factory. If you don't have a backer, I'm afraid you'll be bullied!

I see that Lou Xiao'e and He Yushui are not at home tonight, so why don't you go to Hong Guan's house and hang out and get in touch with him? Hong Guan is young and handsome, so you won't suffer any loss!"

Shit! Qin Huairu had millions of horses running through her mind and her chest felt a little blocked. Dongxu was just buried today, and you’re playing with such a new thing. Aren’t you afraid that those two will come after you?

Noticing Qin Huairu's look, Jia Zhang was also a little embarrassed. "Huairu, don't think too much. Mom is an experienced person. For the sake of this family, this is the only way. At your age, you can't just stay a widow, right?"

Qin Huairu was also struggling. The image of Hong Guan appeared in her mind. She also remembered some of Hong Guan's actions five years ago, which made her feel a little itchy.

"Mom, if I succeed, you can't blame me!"

When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu agreed, she was relieved. "If you succeed, it will be good for our Jia family. As long as you treat me and Bang Geng better, I won't say anything more!"

Qin Huairu wanted to ask, have you forgotten Xiaodang? But thinking of Jia Zhang's usual attitude, she didn't say much.

At eight o'clock, everyone in the yard turned off the lights, but there was still a faint light in Hong Guan's house. That was because Hong Guan could not enter the Mi Lin Manor because the system had not been updated yet, so he used a desk lamp to read picture magazines!

Qin Huairu put on a piece of clothing, and under the gaze of Jia Zhang, she walked to the door of Hong Guan's house a little awkwardly and knocked gently.

Hong Guan was a little puzzled. Who was knocking on the door so late? When he opened the door, it was Qin Huairu. She was wearing a coat, but the buttons at the collar were not buttoned properly, and a different scenery could be vaguely seen.

Noticing Hong Guan's gaze, Qin Huairu blushed and said, "Can we go in and talk? It's a bit cold outside!"

Hong Guan patted his head and said, "Come in, sister-in-law. Why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"

As they were talking and walking inside, they heard the sound of Qin Huairu closing and locking the door. Hong Guan also began to understand what was going on. It seemed like the Jia family was trying something new!

They sat down and Hong Guan poured Qin Huairu a glass of honey water. Qin Huairu smelled the fragrance of honey, picked it up and took a sip. A look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes. The last time she drank honey water was before she married into the Jia family.

The two chatted casually. Qin Huairu hinted to Hong Guan several times, but Hong Guan was unmoved. Just kidding, you must not take the initiative in such things. Besides, Qin Huairu's current situation really doesn't make her that attractive to him.

It's just that she chose the right time. The disadvantage of high endurance is that self-control is a bit poor. Lou Xiao'e went back to her mother's house yesterday, and Pan Jinlian couldn't see her. She was preparing to sleep well at night!

Seeing that Hong Guan didn't accept the challenge, Qin Huairu was a little puzzled. Was it that this kid didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words, or was it that I'm not charming enough?

Thinking about Lou Xiao'e and then thinking about herself, she really couldn't compete with her. But thinking about her children and the Jia family, Qin Huairu felt that she still had some advantages and wanted to give it a try!

He drank the last sip of honey water in the cup. The moment he stood up, his old shoulders slipped and the clothes he was wearing fell off. At the same time, he staggered and fell towards Hong Guan's position.

Hong Guan supported the person naturally and looked at Qin Huairu with a playful look, "Sister Qin, are you okay?"

Qin Huairu felt the position of Hong Guan's hand and the burning temperature, and her face became even redder. "Hong Guan, I don't know how long your relationship with Dong Xu will allow you to take care of my family. If you don't dislike me, let me repay you. In the future, please help me and our family more!"

The situation is like this. Hong Guan is not Liu Xiahui. Although Qin Huairu is not at her peak, she is still considered top-notch in the courtyard and the steel mill.

He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, and soon Qin Huairu's suppressed voice was heard.

Two hours later, Qin Huairu left holding on to the wall, holding a can filled with two pounds of animal oil.

Hong Guan picked up a cigarette and took a deep puff. It was indeed extraordinary. It seemed that his choice was right. And there was another advantage. She was not his wife, so he could stand up and kick her.

At the Jia family, after hearing the creaking sound of the door opening, Jia Zhang opened her eyes, stood up and walked to the door. Seeing Qin Huairu who was a little staggering, she smiled like an experienced person. She saw the can in Qin Huairu's hand, took it and took a look. It turned out to be a bottle of animal oil. She immediately smiled.

In this day and age, if I could get some meat oil, I would wake up smiling in my dreams!

"You succeeded? How long is this amount?"

Qin Huairu bit her lip and nodded, "This is one month's supply, and there will be one every month from now on!"

Jia Zhang smiled even more happily, and hurried over to support Qin Huairu, "Huairu, you are really the lucky star of our Jia family. When Banggeng grows up healthily, you will be the biggest contributor!"

Qin Huairu nodded helplessly. Her own mother-in-law was really a weirdo. She really believed that whoever gave her milk was her mother!

"Mom, please put the cooking oil in the kitchen. I'm so tired that I need to go to bed first. Tomorrow morning, when I steam the steamed bread, I'll put some in it so that everyone can have a taste!"

"Okay, you should take a rest, but you are lucky."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu knew what she meant. She nodded with a red face, then fell asleep on the kang.

The next morning, Qin Huairu got up from the kang, but still felt weak. At around seven o'clock, the family finished breakfast, Banggeng went to school, and Qin Huairu changed into work clothes. Then Hong Guan came knocking on the door.

This time Jia Zhang didn't lose face, she looked at Hong Guan with a smile and said, "What's the matter so early in the morning?"

"Aunt Jia, this is Sister Qin's first day at work. I'll take her there on my bike so she can get familiar with the job."

"Okay, you are quite particular. Huairu, don't pack up. Hong Guan will take you to work on his bike. Let's go!"

Qin Huairu agreed, came out of the kitchen, looked at Hong Guan with charm, went to the inner room to get a coat, and left with Hong Guan.

When I pushed the cart to the front yard, I heard Sha Zhu's annoying voice, "Sister Qin, you're going to work today, why are you going with this guy? He's not a good guy!"

Qin Huairu turned around and saw Sha Zhu's prematurely aged face with a dog-licking smile. She felt a little disgusted. She turned around and looked at Hong Guan a few more times, and then the disgust disappeared.

"Hey, Silly Zhu, who are you talking about? Why am I not a good person? I think you are just being naughty and want to be beaten!"

"I said Hong Guan, did I say anything about you? I was talking about this kid, don't be so self-indulgent, you pick up everything, are you cheap or not!"

Hong Guan looked at Sha Zhu with a smile, and pressed his hands against each other, with his knuckles making crackling sounds. "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again!"

Sha Zhu took two steps back unconsciously and said in a timid tone, "I tell you, Hong Guan, others may be afraid of you, but I am not. This is in a courtyard, so don't mess around. I tell you, good words don't have to be said twice!"

Hong Guan laughed, spat on the ground, and looked at Sha Zhu with disdain, which made Sha Zhu a little angry, but he really didn't dare to say anything!

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard together. Qin Huairu sat in the back seat naturally, but she didn't put her arm around Hong Guan's waist. Jia Dongxu had just died, so she had to be more careful.

When they left Nanluoguxiang and there were no people around, Hong Guan took out two eggs from his pocket and put them in Qin Huairu's hand. "Eat them. The work in the steel mill is hard. You need to keep your strength!"

Qin Huairu took it and found the egg was still warm. She was very touched. She finally did not follow the wrong person!

When they arrived near the steel mill, Qin Huairu got off the car and walked to the mill. Hong Guan was a small leader after all, and if too many people saw her, it would easily lead to gossip.

I saw a few patients in the morning. After what happened with Jia Dongxu, everyone was much more nervous and there were fewer patients.

After giving instructions, he came to the office building. As soon as he arrived at the door of Li Fugui's office, he heard suppressed breathing in the room. Hong Guan could only light a cigarette at the stairs and wait quietly.

Fifteen minutes later, the woman inside came out. Hong Guan took a quick glance and saw that she was a new female worker in the cafeteria. She looked okay, similar to Liu Lan, but her figure was not as good as hers.

After waiting for another five minutes, when the room should have been cleaned up, Hong Guan knocked on the door and entered the room. Seeing that the windows were still open despite the cold weather, he smiled knowingly at Li Fugui, took out the pills for next month, put them in a cloth bag, and pushed it in front of Li Fugui.

"Director Li, this is the quantity for next month. You have been in good shape recently. You have such a strong firepower. Even in such a cold weather, you can still open the window."

Li Fugui took the last puff of his cigarette, stood up and closed the window. "You kid, you're getting familiar with me, and you're teasing me. We don't know each other!"

Hong Guan knew he was talking about Liu Lan, so he laughed and said, "Director Li looks very happy these days, is there anything good going on?"

Li Fugui coughed and put away the bag. "It's all because of your medicine. I've been sleeping a lot better lately. But there's really no good thing. I have a lot of worries."

"Is it a food problem?"

"Yes, we do heavy physical work in the steel mill. We can survive without oil and water, but if we don't have white flour and cornmeal, we will be in trouble. I am worried about this recently!"

Hong Guan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke. After all, he had traveled through time, and it wouldn't be a wasted trip. It would be good if he could make some contribution to the country.

"Director Li, I recently met a friend who was able to get some unplanned food, including white flour, corn flour, and sweet potatoes, but the price is a bit high. I wonder if our factory needs it?"

Speaking of this, Li Fugui became excited. "Oh, tell me, how many are there?"

Hong Guan took inventory of the supplies. A large amount of supplies were placed in the inventory, but he had a good memory and remembered them all.

"There are about 20 tons of white flour, and 70% corn flour, which is about the same quality as the grain station, so there are about 50 tons. As for sweet potatoes, there are also 50 tons."

Li Fugui was no longer calm. He had originally thought that there wasn't much, but he hadn't expected such a large amount. He was so shocked that he stood up immediately. "Is there really that much?"

"I heard my friend mention this a few days ago. He got so many of them from abroad. But the price is higher than the market price."

"How much higher?"

"White flour is 3 cents a pound, corn flour is cents a pound, and sweet potatoes are cents a pound."

Li Fugui sat down again, closed his eyes and calculated, and soon opened his eyes, "Hong Guan, this price is good, tell your friend to keep them all, we will have a meeting to discuss it, even if our factory can't afford it, there are still brother units!"

Hong Guandian nodded. Indeed, to take out 70,000 yuan at once would be a lot of effort even if the steel mill was a large factory with tens of thousands of employees. And there was also the problem of sweet potatoes. They were not as easy to store as white flour and cornmeal!

In fact, it’s not that Hong Guan doesn’t want to make it cheaper, he really has no shortage of money. The problem is that if it’s cheaper, Li Fugui will get suspicious. After all, the relationship between the flower-growing family and foreign countries is not good now. You are doing charity by making it so cheap!
