Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

There was no other way. Qin Huairu couldn't rely on Jia Zhang, so she had to take action herself.

She first went to Shazhu's house.

No one knew what the two of them talked about in the room, and Sha Zhu ran off to find Yi Zhonghai.

There is only one purpose for looking for him, to borrow money!

Sha Zhu has very little money left and cannot afford Jia Dongxu’s medical expenses, so he can only ask Yi Zhonghai to borrow some money.

Yi Zhonghai was so confused!

No matter how much I thought about it, I never expected that it would be Sha Zhu who came to borrow money.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu had a good attitude and offered to write an IOU.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai also became generous and directly lent some more money to Sha Zhu.

Shazhu was so grateful that he thanked several times before leaving.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu's leaving back and couldn't help shaking his head.

Yi Zhonghai knew how much Jia Dongxu had to pay for medical expenses.

But the money that Sha Zhu just wanted to borrow was exactly half of the medical expenses.

It was obvious that Qin Huairu was still planning to borrow money from him.

The Jia family never returned the extra money they received and would never write an IOU, so Yi Zhonghai simply lent it all to Sha Zhu and let Sha Zhu write the IOU.

Anyway, Sha Zhu will report to the steel mill after the new year, and his salary will be stable in the future, so there is no need to worry that he will not pay back the money.

Qin Huairu, who had raised the money, was too lazy to bother with Jia Zhangshi. She took the money and hurried to the hospital.

Three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Jun and his family came back on bicycles, and there was a cart following behind them.

"Hey, what is Chen Jun doing? Why is he buying so much food for no reason?"

The first thing the door god saw was the food loaded on the cart, including flour, cornmeal and some rice.

How many pounds does this full cart weigh?

"This is mostly for setting up the stall. I bought some when I passed by the grain store." Chen Jun said with a smile.

In fact, the reason for hoarding these grains is that they are worried that the planned economy will be implemented after the New Year, and the purchase of grain will be rationed.

It never hurts to stock up in advance.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and carefully counted the grain on the cart. Wow, there were more than twenty bags in total.

This is wrong!

There's no need to buy so much at once when you set up a stall, right?

Yan Bugui always felt that Chen Jun was hiding something from him.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui carefully looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, "Chen Jun, did you hear any noise?"

Yan Bugui is a teacher. A few years ago, he heard some gossip from the teachers in the office, saying that food might be rationed in the future.

He didn't take it seriously at first, but now he is a little unsure.

Chen Jun is such a smart man, it is impossible for him to hoard so much food for no reason.

"If there's any news, I'll buy some along the way." After a pause, Chen Jun lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, if you're worried, go stock up on some food. I've also heard some rumors that food will be tighter than it is now, but I just heard it. You make your own decision."

Yan Bugui frowned and looked at the cart again, and couldn't help saying, "Why are you buying so much Fuqiang flour? You should stock up on some Erhe noodles and corn noodles."

"I'm used to eating Fuqiang noodles. Eating anything else will make my throat sore."

Yan Bugui:......

For normal families, the food will become worse after the Chinese New Year. After all, they have to eat something good during the Chinese New Year, so they have to prepare the white flour that they would not afford to buy on weekdays.

Therefore, most people will not buy white flour one or two months after the Chinese New Year.

But Chen Jun’s family is different, this kid is rich.

"Xiaojun, all the flour is unloaded in the kitchen." Wang Xia shouted.

"Mom, I know."

After chatting with Yan Bugui for a while, Chen Jun returned to the backyard.

Yan Bugui thought about it, then went home to get some money and planned to go to the grain store.

Regardless of whether Chen Jun’s news is true or not, it’s okay to stock up some food in advance. The family has to buy food anyway. It just so happens that the family has some spare money now, so we can buy two or three bags first.

But just as Yan Bugui was pushing his bicycle to go out, a burst of firecrackers suddenly rang out in the central courtyard.

Wow, this scared Yan Bugui.

Ever since Jia Dongxu was burned, people have been very careful when setting off firecrackers in the courtyard.

But why are we setting off firecrackers so late in the afternoon?

Yan Bugui thought about it and his expression became a little unnatural.

I’m afraid this is aimed at the Jia family!

The Jia family has been very unlucky recently. Someone robbed them of their medical expenses this morning. Could it be that they are setting off firecrackers just to piss off Jia Zhang?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, people in the yard heard the noise and ran out.

"Hey, hey, hey, which idiot is setting off firecrackers in our central courtyard? Who is it? Come out here!" Sha Zhu was steaming vegetable buns at home and was planning to send them to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was really exhausted today. She had to keep watch at night and stay in the hospital during the day, which made Sha Zhu feel very distressed.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also walked out of the house with a cold face.

"Who threw firecrackers for no reason?"

The location where the firecrackers were thrown was very particular, it was right in front of the Jia family's doorstep.

It is obvious that someone is deliberately trying to disgust the Jia family.

Something bad just happened to the Jia family, so they are setting off firecrackers to celebrate?

Soon, Liu Haizhong and others from the backyard also came to the middle yard.

"Who the hell threw the firecrackers? Do you really think that our Jia family is easy to talk to and has no temper?"

Only after the sound of firecrackers stopped did Jia Zhang dare to walk out of the house cursing.

"Who did it? Who did it? Stand up now if you have the guts!"

Looking at the firecracker debris on the ground, Jia Zhang became furious.

Isn't this just to disgust the Jia family?

Jia Zhang has lived for so many years, when has she ever suffered such injustice?

Everyone was bullied!

In the backyard, Chen Jun was arranging flour and other things in the right place. The delivery man's arrangement was rather sloppy, taking up a large area.

The kitchen space is not big to begin with, so it has to be adjusted.

So when he heard the sound of firecrackers and cursing coming from the central courtyard, Chen Jun did not go to watch the fun.

But the less she went out to watch the fun, the more suspicious Jia Zhang became.

Jia Zhang glared at everyone in the courtyard with her triangular eyes and shouted, "Xu Fugui, where is your son?"

Xu Damao is a guy who is always jumping around and is also a key suspect.

"Jia Zhang, are you blind?"

Xu Damao walked out from behind Liu Haizhong and cursed angrily.

Well, it turns out that it was blocked by the bangs.

After looking around again, Jia Zhang found that no one from the Chen family had come.

Something is wrong, this is very wrong.

The Chen family has the worst relationship with their family. The Jia family was bullied by someone throwing firecrackers, but the Chen family didn't come to watch the joke?

This is abnormal!

Jia Zhang was very angry at the moment. She rolled up her sleeves and ran towards the backyard angrily.

The people in the yard were stunned when they saw this, and then they reacted and hurriedly chased after him.

When they arrived at the Chen family's door, Jia Zhang took a run-up and kicked towards the door.

"boom!"

The half-closed door was fiercely kicked open, and Jia Zhang put one hand on her waist and cursed, "Come out here, you little bastard!"
