Chapter 2 Living in a Siheyuan
Upon hearing this, the smile on the aunt's face instantly became even brighter, "Rolling mill? The steel rolling mill is good. Your uncle and nephew can take care of each other when they are at work! Listen to my aunt, remember to tell the factory leaders when they go to report tomorrow, don't want the dormitory given by the factory, let's live together!"
He Ku looked at this not-so-large house and said with a complicated look: "Aunt, will this be too troublesome to you? I don't think there are so many people in our family."
An old lady smiled and said, "This room is a little small, but there are more than one room in our house. Come and take you to see the remaining ones first. If you like that, you will live in that room."
"Aunt, I won't see it anymore. If you ask me to live in that room, I will live in that room!" He Ku didn't take it seriously about this matter and agreed directly.
"Okay, the remaining three rooms are for you, you can arrange them yourself. Originally, I planned to buy them for my child, but my aunt was incompetent and couldn't give birth. Now that you come, it's all yours." An aunt was really happy. She took Heku's bag and took his hand to the house next door, for fear that he would go to the dormitory as soon as he let go.
She hasn't given birth to a child in her life, and she always feels that she has shortcomings. Why not be so troubled now, just treat her as her own son.
An aunt said on the way, "Auntie is happy today. Your uncle is back later, and he doesn't know how happy he will be!"
"Aunt, our family is really big, so I won't have a dormitory tomorrow and don't cause trouble for the factory." Looking at the few spacious and bright courtyards, why did you feel a little touched? This is a waste of time.
"Don't stand stupidly. Come into the house and sit. After walking so far, you must be tired. My aunt will help you clean up the room immediately and keep you from having a good night's sleep."
"I'm a little tired after taking the car for a day!"
At this moment, an old lady was already pouring boiling water.
"Drink water quickly! When you come to my uncle's house, don't be there. Just say anything you need. I'll get some peach paste for you, you can make a cucumber first, and go to cook immediately. After dinner, hurry up and rest, and be more energetic tomorrow and leave a good impression on the factory leaders."
"By the way, it's hot, do you drink soda? I'll buy two bottles?"
An old lady was so excited that she was a little incoherent and was in a hurry. As soon as she poured the water, she rummaged through the box and found a cabinet to take out a few pieces of peach crisps. Then she had to buy soda. Soda was not cheap at this time. A bottle of Arctic Ocean costs at least one cent, and the bottle also required a deposit, but no one could drink it.
"Auntie, stop busy. I brought a lot of things to eat for us tonight!" He Ku was a little embarrassed by the enthusiasm of an aunt. He quickly stopped him, and at the same time took out a few cans and some daily necessities from his bag, handed them over.
"Auntie, you can eat this canned fruit, soak the candy tea in water, and some canned lunch meats will be cooked later... These pork and water are eaten by the village. I also bought some cold beer on the way, which is cold. I will drink some good food with my uncle tonight."
Seeing that he kept taking out the scarce goods of this era from his bag, an old lady couldn't help but complain: "You kid! Why do you buy so many things when you go home? You have to learn to save money and use it to marry a wife in the future!"
She didn't know that except for pork and Xiashui Village who slaughtered pigs when he went to work in the city, beer was bought on the road, and the rest were passed down from modern times. Of course, the packaging of the main road goods has been processed.
"You sit down first, I'll see if Shazhu is back. The entire steel rolling mill is the best cooking skills. Let him cook for us later."
An old lady looked at the pork, went into the water and canned food, and was a little afraid to start. She left a sentence and hurried out of the room to find Sha Zhu.
At Sha Zhu's family, Qin Huairu leaned over to Sha Zhu's face with a disappointed look on her face and asked, "Is there only one box of lunch today?"
Sha Zhu said awkwardly, "There is no hospitality in the factory today, so I only cooked this box at noon! But I still have some radishes at home, why don't you take it back?"
"radish?"
Qin Huairu thought to herself that one pound of radish can be exchanged for three pounds of cabbage, which is a very good thing, and it will be done.
Just as she was about to agree, an old lady shouted at the door of Sha Zhu's house: "Sha Zhu, are you back? Come and do me a favor."
Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Why did I forget that a grandpa and nephew have come, so I have to have a good meal to welcome you!
According to convention, in the past, Sha Zhu went to her house to cook for whatever happens in the yard. When the rest were left, they all belonged to their house, and the three children could serve some food on the table.
For this stutter, before Sha Zhu could answer, Qin Huairu immediately came over enthusiastically, "Auntie, why don't you let Sha Zhu go to my house to make it at night?"
"Auntie, do you think?" Sha Zhu was not stupid either, and instantly understood what Qin Huairu meant.
An old lady said in a little embarrassedly: "Sha Zhu, Huairu, today's pork, water and canned food are all brought by my nephew, so I can't make the decision."
Qin Huairu's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this.
pork!
Go into the water!
can!
The pork is good, and the market has been stopped supplying a long time ago. The black market has sold for ten yuan per catty. I don’t know how an aunt’s nephew got it.
Not to mention the thing about pork getting into the water, it is cheaper than pork and it is all meat. Even if you buy it on the black market, it must be related to it before you can get it.
Canned food is even more amazing, and it is completely impossible to buy in the black market, and it is exclusively for senior leaders.
It’s great to have a stuttering experience in recent years. I didn’t expect that I could get a sip of pork and canned food, making a lot of money.
Suddenly, Qin Huairu made a plan, "Why, go and ask Brother Xiaoku? We had a good chat on the way just now."
"This is not good, right? My nephew just came to our courtyard and didn't know anything. Look at this?" An old lady was embarrassed.
She knew what Qin Huairu had to do, but it was not possible tonight. As soon as her nephew came, the family gathered together to talk to each other over the meal, and the relationship came up quickly.
Go to your Qinhuairu's house?
What a joke?
The three naughty kids have finished serving the dishes for you, so what a fool is talking about!
More importantly, Xiao Ku just came and didn’t know the situation, so if he made any misunderstandings, it would be troublesome.
But then I thought about it, the Qin Huairu family was in a difficult situation. A widow with three children and her mother-in-law was also very pitiful, which made the aunt hesitate.
After a long time of entanglement, an aunt thought that her three children often had no food to eat on weekdays, so she said softly: "Let's go and ask Xiao Kuo if he wants it. If he doesn't want it, don't bother him. We will have a long time in the future."
For the sake of Qin Huairu's three children, an aunt finally gave in.
"Go to her house for dinner? Aunt, I have to chat with my uncle this night! I'm sorry to go to someone else's house!"
As soon as He Ku saw Qin Huairu, he knew that nothing was good. Unexpectedly, he had planned to be on his head. Damn, we are not familiar with each other at all.
