The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Late at night, the lights were still on in the Jia family's central courtyard, as if they were still discussing something.

"Dongxu, my parents sent someone to tell us that there is not enough food at home and asked us to think of a solution."

Qin Huairu looked anxious. During the Chinese New Year, because she had a lot of pocket money, she bought a lot of things and brought them back to her parents' home. This made Qin Huairu, who was very proud, very proud.

Now the Qin family is short of food. The first person they thought of was Qin Huairu, who had married into the city. So they asked someone to bring the news.

"What are you thinking? We don't even have enough food at home."

Before Jia Dongxu could say anything, Jia Zhangshi on the side became unhappy. She put down the things in her hands and started cursing.

"Qin Huairu, let me tell you, if you dare to sneak up on your mother's house and I find out, then you should pack up and go back."

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu viciously and said.

This scared Qin Huairu, and she couldn't help but look at the silent Jia Dongxu, hoping that he could say something good.

Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu didn't want to help the Qin family, so he simply followed Jia Zhang's wishes and ignored Qin Huairu.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's look, Qin Huairu also sighed. She knew there was nothing she could do and could only hope that her parents would not come to the Siheyuan.

"Dongxu, we don't have much food left. See if you can go to the pigeon market to buy some more."

Qin Huairu changed the subject and talked about her family's food problem.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu frowned and said, "It's only the first few days of this month, how come it's almost gone."

"I can't do anything about this. Food coupons are issued on the 24th of every month, and I have to buy food the next day. I've been eating it for almost half a month now."

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly.

There was no other way. Jia Dongxu was the only one in the Jia family who had a fixed grain allowance, which was 35 kilograms per month, and was considered a heavy laborer. However, the others all had rural household registration, so they could only go to the Pigeon Market to buy grain coupons and then buy grain, which cost a lot more money.

Qin Huairu is in charge of all the affairs of the Jia family, but in fact, Jia Zhang always holds on to the money tightly every month. Now Qin Huairu still needs to ask Jia Zhang for money when she buys things.

"Okay, I'll go to Pigeon City later."

Jia Dongxu said helplessly. He also knew that Qin Huairu was right and he couldn't blame her.

"Dongxu, your master didn't ask to help our family or anything."

Jia Zhang said with narrowed eyes.

"What can I do? My master and his family barely have enough to eat every month, and they also have to support the deaf old lady in the backyard."

Jia Dongxu had mentioned this to Yi Zhonghai before, but Yi Zhonghai rejected him, saying that his family didn't have enough food.

Let Jia Dongxu find a way to solve the problem himself.

It’s just that Jia Dongxu didn’t tell Jia Zhang and the others.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang said in a low voice with a look of resentment: "This Yi Zhonghai is not a good guy either. He only talks big but won't give us anything at all."

Originally, Jia Zhang thought that the Jia family would have an easier life after the relationship between the two families reconciled, but she didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai was just talking.

"Dongxu, go talk to Yi Zhonghai. Our family can't make ends meet anymore. Ask him to hold a meeting to donate money to us."

Jia Zhang thought that people like Liu Minghui's family in the front yard, He Yuzhu in the middle yard, and Xu Damao in the back yard were all rich people. Her family was in such a difficult situation, so she had to ask them to spend some money to help.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu said in embarrassment: "Mom, everyone in the courtyard is having a hard time right now. I don't think the master will agree."

"If you don't tell me you know this, Yi Zhonghai might agree."

Jia Zhang didn't care about all this. She would just try her best to get a few shots first.

"I'll talk to the master on my way to work tomorrow."

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to agree.

The next morning, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai were on their way to work together. Jia Dongxu hesitated for a long time before calling Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, I have something to tell you."

Yi Zhonghai, who was called, looked at Jia Dongxu with confusion, wanting to see what he was going to say.

Jia Dongxu looked around and saw no one nearby, so he said directly: "Master, the price of food in Pigeon City has been getting more and more expensive recently. My monthly salary is not enough to buy food."

Jia Dongxu said with a bitter face, looking at Yi Zhonghai eagerly, as if he heard Yi Zhonghai asking for help.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Yi Zhonghai knew that Jia Dongxu wanted his help.

"Dongxu, I can't do anything about this. The rations have been reduced a lot now. Your aunt and I are also responsible for the old lady's meals. I don't have any extra food to give you."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Dongxu showed no expression. He had known that he would get this answer.

However, he did not expect Yi Zhonghai to take out the food himself. He was just crying in front of Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, can we ask our neighbors to help our family?"

Jia Dongxu expressed his thoughts, which was the purpose of holding Yi Zhonghai. Jia Dongxu thought that if Yi Zhonghai held a meeting to donate money to his family, there would be at least a hundred or eighty yuan.

With this money, the days ahead will be much better.

"Dongxu, except for a few families in the hospital, the rest are in the same difficulty. What if every family is asked to donate? And don't forget that your family is not the most difficult one."

"And even if I agree, it's useless. If the second and third uncles don't agree, this meeting can't be held."

Yi Zhonghai would never agree to this proposal. You have to know that Yi Zhonghai does not have the final say in the yard now.

Liu Haizhong in the backyard is now a team leader in the factory. He will not control the affairs of the yard with Yi Zhonghai at all. Not to mention Yan Bugui in the front yard, who now basically acts according to Liu Minghui's instructions.

The three masters in charge of the courtyard cannot work together and cannot control the courtyard at all.

Now Yi Zhonghai does not have the final say he had a few years ago in the Siheyuan. At most, he is only in charge of the central courtyard.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he immediately felt that hope was slim, because the Jia family had a bad relationship with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and they would not help the Jia family at all.

"Then what should we do, Master? Banggeng is still growing, and Xiaodang also needs to eat. We can't let the child starve."

Jia Dongxu could only talk about his child to see if he could impress Yi Zhonghai.

"This, let me think about it,"

After listening to this, Yi Zhonghai began to think carefully. Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai had an idea and thought of Liu Minghui in the front yard.

"I've thought of it. Doesn't Liu Minghui work in the purchasing department? It would be great if he could help."

Jia Dongxu thought it was something else, but when he heard that he had to ask Liu Minghui for help, he looked unhappy.

You have to know that the two of them basically have no contact now, so why would Liu Minghui help?
