Now the system has opened a loophole for Zhang Jialiang, and he can go to work and look for a job. Zhang Jialiang's next target has been determined to be Director Li of the Zha Steel Plant, who later became Deputy Director Li. As long as he can establish a relationship with Director Li, many problems can be easily solved.

For example, Zhang Jialiang's temporary job should not be that difficult. For Director Li, he is responsible for the logistics of the steel rolling mill, and temporary work is just a matter of a word.

Zhang Jialiang's goal is to become a buyer in the purchasing department of the logistics department of a steel rolling mill. This job is not tiring and fits perfectly with his hunting space. In the future, his prey can enter the steel rolling mill openly.

The steel rolling mill is a large factory. He only harvests about 300 yuan worth of prey in the hunting space every month. This amount is nothing to the steel rolling mill, and the steel rolling mill can easily eat it all.

However, Zhang Jialiang certainly couldn't put all his eggs in one basket. He had to keep his original network of relationships. He was just looking for a temporary worker in the steel mill to complete the monthly tasks.

As for why he had to go to the steel mill to find Director Li, Zhang Jialiang had considered it carefully. After all, he was quite familiar with Director Li and the steel mill, and he had a better understanding of the situation he would face in the future.

If he went to other factories, the unfamiliar environment would be even more unfavorable. At the steel rolling mill, as long as he had a good relationship with Director Li, Zhang Jialiang would be able to handle any situation with ease in the next ten years.

Another important consideration is that his mother and fourth sister both work in the steel mill. If he also works in the steel mill, and with the care of Director Li, his mother and sister will also benefit.

First of all, there is great hope for my younger sister to become a regular employee. Otherwise, if Zhang Jiaxiu relies on herself to wait for the job, it will take who knows how long.

In addition, there are many families in the compound who work at the steel rolling mill. In fact, Zhang Jialiang's own family is one of them. If he goes to work at the steel rolling mill, he will also integrate into these people, allowing him to survive better in the compound.

At this time, most people in the courtyard were still living a normal life and had not sensed any unusual atmosphere. As for the drought, they might have heard about it, but they had not thought about it in detail and naturally did not connect it to the issue of food rations.

However, there was one family in the courtyard who felt the impact of the drought very clearly. The rising price of food made the Jia family very uncomfortable.

After dinner, the Jia family sat together with sad faces, discussing the serious problem of rising food prices.

"Dongxu, has the price of food really increased so much?"

"Yes, when I went there yesterday, the price of grain had already risen by about 20%. It only rose by 10% some time ago. The price of grain has been rising faster and faster in the past two days. Maybe it will rise by another 10% in a few days."

"The price of grain will definitely go up, and this year's summer grain harvest will definitely not be good.

I went back to my hometown a few days ago. The fields were too dry this year, and the harvest in my hometown was not good. And this is not a problem of a few villages, but a large area.

I heard that many places in Hebei Province are the same as those near Beijing. As for other provinces in the country, I don’t know. There may also be drought. My family members say that this year will be difficult and they will definitely go hungry. "

Qin Huairu also told what she knew.

“What Huairu said is very right, the situation is the same in my hometown.

Last year we still ate in the canteen, and the village was quite lively at that time.

I also tried it for a few days, but later I couldn't hold on any longer, so I stopped.

I didn’t expect the situation to be so serious this year.”

Jia Zhang felt a little emotional. Last year she went back to her hometown and enjoyed the abundant food in the canteen. However, she did not work in the countryside or participate in collective labor, so it was impossible for her to eat in the canteen in her hometown for a long time.

She felt very regretful at the time, but later the cafeteria only lasted for a while before being disbanded, so she no longer cared.

She also went back to her hometown some time ago, and the result was almost the same as what Qin Huairu said.

She originally wanted to go back to her hometown to look for her relatives to take advantage of her and ask for some food, but after seeing that situation, she realized that not only would she not be able to take advantage of them, but she might even be taken advantage of by her relatives instead. She was so scared that she returned home that very day.

"It seems we have to find a solution, otherwise we won't know how to get through the next month. If food prices continue to rise, we really won't be able to afford it. Even if we can buy food, our losses will be huge.

My idea is to buy more this month. There are still more than three months before the autumn harvest. By that time, there should be no shortage of food, and the price of food will naturally come down.

We have to gather all the food for this period of time, otherwise food will definitely become more and more expensive in the future. The sooner we buy it, the less loss we will suffer. Otherwise, we will really starve when the time comes."

"I agree. It's almost three and a half months until the autumn harvest. Dongxu, you have food rations, and we mothers have about 60 kilograms of food each month.

So if you sell 210 kilograms of food, you can get 80 yuan. Now that you have made the decision, you must hurry up!"

Jia Zhang was very decisive. She took out most of the money in the family to exchange for food.

The family had only more than 100 yuan in total. Although Jia Dongxu earned a lot of money, the family's monthly expenses were also high, so he couldn't save much money.

Jia Zhang knew that this was not the time to feel sad. Food was life, and without food, people would really starve to death.

"Okay, I got it, Mom. I'll go tonight and get this done within a few days."

Jia Dongxu immediately agreed and decided to start tonight.

"Huai Ru, what's going on with Sha Zhu now?

Can we still eat his food at home?"

Jia Zhang turned around and started asking Qin Huairu about the dishes that Sha Zhu brought back.

"It's probably bad enough. Yang Qingrou is watching her closely now. Since Yang Qingrou got pregnant, Shazhu can't make the decision. Yang Qingrou's attitude towards our family is still the same."

Qin Huairu was filled with shame. She originally thought that taking down Sha Zhu would not be a problem at all, but she did not expect it to turn out like this. This was her responsibility.

“Yang Qingrou, this little bitch is such a bad guy!

Ever since she came, things have never been smooth in our family. Now that she is pregnant, she has the silly pig under her control even more. Damn it!

Why did she get pregnant at this critical moment? It's really unlucky!"

Jia Zhang now wished that Yang Qingrou would die. She felt extremely disgusted with this fat woman.

All the meat that this fat woman ate should have belonged to the Jia family.

There is also that old lady Long and that little girl Yu Shui, they have benefited a lot from following Yang Qingrou, and the meat they eat should originally belong to their Jia family, so they should be the ones to eat it.

Jia Zhang was used to eating the lunch box in Sha Zhu's hand. She had long regarded the meat as her own. Now that it had gone into someone else's stomach, it would be strange for her to be willing to accept it. However, she had no other choice but to curse a few times to vent her anger.
