Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Yan Fugui's eyes were leisurely and his tone was firm:

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to buy more food at one time, otherwise it will cost more money to buy it every month.

Even now, the people selling food on the black market don’t have much food in hand, so if you want to buy more food, you have to find a way.”

After hearing this, Yan Jiefang rolled his eyes and suddenly said:

"Dad, I have a buddy who is very wild, he should have some connections, how about I go and try with him?"

After graduating from junior high school, Yan Jiefang did not have a formal job. When he was not working, he often wandered around. He also had several childhood classmates and knew a few people on the street.

Although Yan Jiefang did not participate in any illegal activities, he did have connections with some underground gangsters.

Now that he had heard his father talk about these problems, he wanted to test his own abilities.

This is understandable. Young people, especially young boys, always like to show off and brag, but Yan Fugui does not take this seriously.

He knows his son best and knows that he doesn't have much ability. What he says now is just bragging. It is possible that he can contact someone with food, but the risk is too great and it is not advisable.

He is a talkative person with no experience and is unreliable in his work. You can just listen to what the kid says and don't take it seriously. You have to let him do it himself to feel at ease.

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry about it. I'll think about it carefully."

Yan Fugui's family was just hungry, but the Jia family was facing a moment of life and death.

"Huai Ru, how much food do we have left?"

Jia Dongxu asked with a heavy face. In fact, he knew that there was not much food left at home, so he just asked subconsciously.

"We still have a little over a pound of cornmeal and about two pounds of sweet potatoes, but that's only enough for two days.

This is still a situation of saving money. There are still a few days before the next month's rations come, and it will definitely not be enough. We will have to go hungry!"

Qin Huairu had a miserable look on her face and answered with great difficulty.

Looking at the meal on the table, each person had a bowl of wild vegetable and corn porridge with a few pitiful sweet potatoes in it. As for the staple food, there was no dry food at all, and there were only a limited number of pickles.

Even a child as old as Banggeng would not feel full after drinking this bowl of porridge, and it could only fill his stomach, let alone the adults.

The most important thing is that her own son also only eats these and still has to go to work. Jia Zhang feels very uncomfortable.

Seeing her son and grandson suffer, Jia Zhang felt very upset, but there was nothing she could do but complain constantly.

"Why is God so cruel? He really doesn't want ordinary people to survive!

Why is it so hard to find something to eat?

Other families are better off, but in our family, someone is really going to die. Seeing Dongxu not having enough food to eat and having to work hard, and my poor baby grandson, he has become so thin.

It’s all my fault. God is so cruel. The drought has lasted for so long and it just hasn’t rained. I’m so anxious!”

Jia Dongxu was silent for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.

"We have to go to this black market, or we'll starve to death!"

Last time, Jia Dongxu almost got into trouble in the black market. When he came back, he looked so miserable that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were scared to death.

They didn't dare to shout loudly in the house and could only cry silently for a while.

Now hearing that Jia Dongxu was going to the black market again, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi naturally began to worry, feel afraid and terrified.

“Still going to the black market?

This risk is too great, what will happen if something goes wrong?"

Qin Huairu had tears in her eyes, she was really scared.

"I have to go. I know it's easy to get into trouble, but I can't starve to death!"

Jia Dongxu lowered his head and answered in a muffled voice.

"We want to go to the black market, but we don't have much money left. Food is so expensive now that we really can't afford it. The risks in the black market are so great that there is really no way for us to survive!

And those people in the hospital who are better off just don’t know how to help us. They are so inhumane!

Why do they still have food to eat while we are starving to death? They are such a bunch of inhuman people who only care about themselves and not others!"

Jia Zhang's voice was low and full of resentment, but she was certainly not blaming her son.

My son has worked very hard and is very outstanding, but I don’t know why, with such a hardworking and motivated son, life is so difficult at home?

Jia Zhang didn't know who to blame so she could only blame the heavens, the earth, and the people around her.

"We don't have much money left, I'll go borrow some from my master, but the price of food is rising every day, and I don't know when it will end.

I hope I can borrow more money from Master and buy as much as possible at a time, otherwise I won’t know what the price of food will be in a while.”

Liu Haizhong's family was all together today, sitting together. Their eldest son Liu Guangqi also came home.

Since Liu Guangqi graduated and went to work at the machinery factory, he usually doesn't go home. If he goes home, there must be something going on. This time he went home with a mission.

Liu Guangqi told his family that he had a girlfriend. His girlfriend's family was very well-off. His father was a workshop director in a machinery factory, a serious cadre with a high rank. The machinery factory was also a large one.

His girlfriend also graduated from a technical secondary school like him and is a cadre. His wife's family, including her father, mother, older brother, and herself, all work in a machinery factory. It's really great that everyone in the family has jobs.

"Guangqi, are you telling the truth?"

Liu Haizhong was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up. It was not his fault. It was mainly because his eldest son came back and suddenly said he had a girlfriend.

The most important thing is that the father of the eldest son’s girlfriend is a cadre, and his rank is not low. How can Liu Haizhong not be excited?

Liu Haizhong’s biggest wish is to become an official. The rank of a workshop director is not low, especially since the machinery factory is also a large factory, no worse than a steel rolling mill.

Moreover, the eldest son also said that his father-in-law has a very good career prospect and may make some moves soon. The next step will be the deputy factory director level.

"of course it's true!"

Liu Guangqi was not surprised by his father's behavior because he knew his father too well.

Liu Haizhong poured a glass of wine for his eldest son and asked naturally while pouring the wine.

"How did you meet your partner?"

Liu Guangqi picked up a piece of egg and put it in his mouth. Ignoring the jealous looks of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu beside him, he chewed it a few times and swallowed the egg. Then he said calmly.

"We were classmates in technical secondary school. After graduation, we entered the machinery factory together. We knew each other and later worked together. In addition, we had a good impression of each other, so we naturally got together."
