Siheyuan: Reborn in 59 years of famine, with a wife and daughter

The houses of that era had poor sound insulation and the windows were all paper-pasted lattices. As long as you got close to the house where Yi Zhonghai and his wife lived, you could hear the conversation inside.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife brought Qin Huairu into their home.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu and said in a carefree manner: "Hey, Huairu, you have seen what kind of person I am, Yi Zhonghai. Although your Jia family treated me badly before, I don't bear a grudge. I, Yi Zhonghai, am not that narrow-minded. Don't be restrained."

Qin Huairu nodded. Indeed, their Jia family had done something unkind before when Yi Zhonghai stepped down.

Although she had no psychological burden before, now Yi Zhonghai wants to give her benefits, which makes Qin Huairu feel a little guilty.

Soon, Tan Jiumei scooped out two kilograms of flour from the flour sack in the kitchen with a spoon. These were prepared for Yi Zhonghai to regain his position as the eldest master.

A sack of flour is all for the purpose of making money and canvassing votes.

Tan Jiumei scooped two kilograms of flour into a small cloth bag and did not hand it directly to Qin Huairu, but to Yi Zhonghai.

It passed through Yi Zhonghai's hand and was handed to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu held the flour in her hand, said thank you, and wanted to walk out of the room.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai did call Qin Huairu.

"Hey, Huairu, don't be anxious. Master, I have something to discuss with you."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she almost couldn't help but push the flour in her hand back. She knew that Yi Zhonghai's things were not so easy to get. He must have needed her help or the help of the Jia family.

But Qin Huairu thought about it and decided to listen to him. What if it was just a piece of cake? The two kilograms of flour would be worth it.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, please tell me."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "I haven't been a senior official for almost half a year. Today I went to the neighborhood committee to apply to be the senior official again. The neighborhood committee approved my application, but I still need to get more than 60% of the votes from the people in the courtyard to become the senior official again.

When I was the manager, I treated you and Dongxu well and gave you many benefits, so when the time comes, you should vote for me and go back to tell Dongxu and his mother about it."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. He had never expected that Yi Zhonghai would really stand up again one day.

The mistake he made before didn't even bring him down completely. This power is a bit too much.

However, for Qin Huairu, this is a good thing. Yi Zhonghai will take the position of manager again, which will bring many benefits to her and Jia Dongxu.

In this matter, even if she was not given white flour, she had no reason not to support Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu held the white interview tightly in her arms and said, "Of course, Master, don't worry. When Dongxu comes back, I will tell him and my mother-in-law about this. Then, we will definitely vote for you."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, if everything is alright, I'm leaving now."

"Okay, go ahead. By the way, when you get back, free up the flour and return the cloth bag. We still need it."

Qin Huairu nodded, took the flour home, and quickly found an enamel basin to take out all the flour.

Indeed, their family had a hard time during this period, especially in the past six months. Basically, not to mention meat, they could only eat a meal of white flour steamed buns every ten days or half a month.

Jia Dongxu was only a second-level fitter, and in recent years, the country had been engaged in a large-scale steel production campaign, which had had a huge impact on steel mills.

The price of steel has been falling again and again, and is almost as cheap as cabbage.

If the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was not a truly large factory with a certain foundation, it would have probably gone bankrupt.

The factory's performance has been affected, and the wages of second-level fitters like Jia Dongxu have been reduced again and again. Even in the past month, he could only receive a basic salary of more than ten yuan.

This month, the five members of the Jia family have changed from eating fine grains and white flour every day to eating steamed corn bread.

At this critical moment, who wouldn’t love these two kilograms of flour?

Banggeng saw his mother pouring the flour into the enamel basin. He swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but dip his finger in it and lick it in his mouth.

But Qin Huairu caught him red-handed before he left the house.

"Don't eat the stalks secretly. I'll make them into white flour buns tonight and you can eat them then."

"Oh, okay." Bang Geng was a little reluctant.

After Qin Huairu gave him some instructions and asked him to keep an eye on Xiaodang who was playing on the kang, she took the cloth bag and returned to Yi Zhonghai's home.

In the east wing, Tan Jiumei looked at Yi Zhonghai suspiciously.

He said, "Zhonghai, tell me, is Li Dongsheng really reliable? Can you really get your position as the manager again? Otherwise, all the flour in this sack will go down the drain."

Yi Zhonghai said with a proud look on his face, "Don't worry, this is a respectful title. Dongsheng is now the deputy director of the street office. He has already made arrangements for me with the neighborhood committee. As long as we can settle the neighbors in the compound and get the votes, we can easily take the position of the manager."

Tan Jiumei nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. It seems that your extensive training of apprentices in the factory over the years has been beneficial. Even if there are only a few who have made it, we have benefited greatly."

"That's right. So you still have complaints when I worked so hard and taught so many apprentices. Now you know that I made a good move."

"Indeed, in these aspects, you are much more far-sighted than I am."

Tan Jiumei complimented.

He Yushui, who was eavesdropping against the wall, felt a chill in his heart. He had not expected that Yi Zhonghai had such tricks. It seemed that this time, Yi Zhonghai was bound to become the manager.

This is not a good thing for He Yushui.

The brother and sister have now completely fallen out with Yi Zhonghai and are unwilling to mention how much they have offended Yi Zhonghai.

Moreover, Brother Qiye and Yi Zhonghai are incompatible, and Yi Zhonghai hates Brother Qiye so much that if he were to come back to power, he would definitely find ways to deal with Brother Qiye.

For He Yushui, it doesn't matter if he suffers a little, but he cannot put Brother Qiye in danger.

He Yushui walked out of the room and headed towards the west wing of the backyard.

In the west wing of the backyard, Lin Beibei was watching TV intently, while Lin Qiye was lying on Li Yueling's belly, listening to the movement of the baby in her belly.

The baby in Li Yueling's belly is now five or six months old. Her belly has also grown a lot bigger. The fetus in her belly is also active and often playfully kicks Li Yueling's belly.

"Qianye, I think this little guy might be a little boy."

"Why do you think so?" Lin Qiye said with a smile.

"Because she is so naughty, she often kicks me when she is only five or six months old. Sometimes I am even woken up by her at night. When Beibei was this age before, she was not so noisy."
