Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After Jia Dongxu sat down, Jia Zhang said, "Dongxu, you go alone. You are weak and what if you get hurt? We are good men and we won't suffer a loss right now. We will deal with them slowly later."

Jia Dongxu calmed down and said, "Mom! I just thought about it carefully at home. Banggeng can no longer study at Hongxing Primary School. It seems that he can only go to a place farther away. I plan to let Banggeng start from the first grade. There are still a few months before school starts. In these few months, you must take good care of Banggeng. Don't let anything happen to him again!"

Jia Zhang patted her chest and promised solemnly: "Dongxu, don't worry!"

Qin Huairu, who was mending clothes nearby, listened to the conversation between Jia Dongxu and his mother and sighed silently. Other people's lives were getting better and better. Their life was getting worse and worse. Jia Dongxu came to his senses and asked, "Where's Banggeng?!"

Jia Zhang replied, "When I came back, I saw him playing outside with Xiao Dang."

"This brat!" Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and muttered, and shouted at Qin Huairu: "Go and call Bang Geng back to me!"

At the same time, under the bridge, Bang Geng used a branch to stir the fire in front of him. After a while, Bang Geng took out two roasted sweet potatoes from the fire. After they cooled down for a while, Bang Geng picked up a sweet potato, broke it open, looked at it, handed it to Xiao Dang, and said, "It's cooked, you can eat it!"

"Oh!" Xiaodang took the sweet potato, took a bite, and immediately showed a satisfied look on his face. Banggen smiled and picked up another sweet potato, broke it open and took two bites, and said, "Xiaodang, wait a while, I'll get you a chicken to eat."

Xiao Dang was stunned for a moment, looked at Bang Geng, and asked, "Brother, what if someone finds out?!"

Bang Geng replied: "With your brother's ability, no one can catch me."

After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Banggeng and Xiaodang walked back. Halfway through the journey, Banggeng and Xiaodang ran into Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu asked, "Banggeng, where have you been?! Do you know how worried I am?!"

Xiaodang saw Banggeng winking at her and said hurriedly, "Mom! They don't want to play with us. My brother can only take me around."

Qin Huairu sighed, hugged the two children to her side, and said, "It's not safe outside now. What if you encounter human traffickers?! How can I live if anything happens to you?!"

Bang Geng said, "Mom, don't worry! The person who can kidnap me hasn't been born yet!" Then he urged, "Mom! Let's go home quickly! If it's too late, grandma will scold you again!"

"Okay! Let's go home!" After saying that, Qin Huairu took one of them in each hand and walked towards the courtyard.

It was April in a blink of an eye. People say that spring rain is as precious as oil. But this year is different. From the Spring Festival till now, not a drop of rain has fallen. The subdistrict office also issued a notice to reduce the ration. Except for minors, everyone else's ration will be reduced by 20%. This notice is like adding fuel to the fire for the Jia family.

"Dongxu, our family only has enough food for three days. You should think of a solution!" Qin Huairu brought the prepared breakfast to the table and said with a bitter face. Jia Dongxu picked up a steamed bread, took a bite, and said, "Just make do with it for now, I'll find someone to exchange some food coupons later."

Jia Zhang said, "Dongxu, I heard that food is in short supply outside right now. Even if you have food coupons, there may not be food in the food station. Otherwise, why don't you go talk to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui and ask them to help you think of a solution?!"

Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes at Jia Zhang and said, "Mom! It's been so long, can't you see?! They won't care about us."

Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "They are the managers of the courtyard. Are they just going to watch us starve to death?!"

Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhangshi as if she was a fool and said, "Mom! What's the big shot?! To be honest, they are just ordinary people. It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Although Jia Dongxu has been sweeping the streets in the factory for the past few months, he is also scouting the area. Yes, Jia Dongxu has long been eyeing the factory's defective warehouse and waste warehouse. There are a lot of iron and copper materials. The current recycling price of iron is 1.5 yuan per catty, and copper is about 20 yuan per catty. Every day, he sells some things from the factory, and the money he earns is definitely more than a month's salary. With this money, he can not only improve his family's food, but also have some extra money.

After breakfast, Jia Dongxu went to work. Jia Zhang took a steamed bread from the basket and handed it to Banggeng, and took one for herself. When Qin Huairu was about to reach out to take the steamed bread from the basket, Jia Zhang directly reached out and hit Qin Huairu's hand, saying: "You know that there is not enough food at home. Can't you save a little?! Don't eat this steamed bread. Banggeng is growing. As a mother, you are useless and can't give him enough oil and water, but at least let him eat enough!"

Qin Huairu said, "Mom! I can't finish all the banggeng. Give half to Xiaodang!"

Jia Zhang's face changed and she said, "What does this money-losing girl have to eat? She's lucky enough to have a bowl of cornmeal porridge. How can she deserve to eat steamed bread?!" After saying that, Jia Zhang picked up the steamed bread in the basket, broke it in two in front of Qin Huairu, gave half to the cornmeal stalk, and stuffed the remaining half directly into her own mouth.

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, Jia Dongxu started sweeping the floor in the factory with a broom. After sweeping for a while, Jia Dongxu came to the scrap warehouse. After observing for a while, Jia Dongxu saw that there was no one around, so he immediately walked to the back of the scrap warehouse. Jia Dongxu stretched out his hand and pulled the window of the scrap warehouse. Unexpectedly, the window was opened. Jia Dongxu was immediately delighted and felt that he was so lucky. Then Jia Dongxu climbed through the window and entered the scrap warehouse. He took out a sack from his pocket and began to put waste into it.

After about ten minutes, Jia Dongxu heard voices coming from the front. Worried that someone would come, Jia Dongxu immediately walked to the window, threw the sack out of the window, then climbed out, and then closed the window as quickly as possible.

Jia Dongxu is worthy of being the father of the thief saint, his mentality is so good! Jia Dongxu just closed the window, and saw two people appear where he was standing before. Jia Dongxu pretended to sweep the floor in front of the window with a broom. Because Jia Dongxu often came here to sweep the floor, the people in charge of the warehouse were no longer surprised. After a while, the people in the warehouse walked away. Jia Dongxu immediately picked up the sack hidden under the window, and ran to a relatively low wall according to the route he had chosen in advance. After looking around, Jia Dongxu immediately stuffed the sack out of the dog hole, and then blocked the dog hole with bricks placed on the side in advance. After doing all this, Jia Dongxu's hanging heart was finally put down.

When the bell rang at noon, Jia Dongxu was the first to rush into the second canteen. Although the food in the second canteen was not as delicious as that in the third canteen, it was better than that in the first canteen. In addition, the shaking of the spoons in the second canteen was not as good as that in the third canteen, so Jia Dongxu started to eat lunch here in the second week of his job as a cleaner.

After lunch, Jia Dongxu said goodbye to his colleagues and left the factory. After walking around outside to make sure no one was following him, Jia Dongxu walked around a bit and came to the edge of the fence, found the sack he had stuffed out of the dog hole, and quietly left.
