Siheyuan: The Final Winner

early morning.

On the road, people come and go.

Students going to school and workers going to work flocked in different directions.

Pushing his bicycle, Jiang Pingan went to the rolling mill with Yi Zhonghai and others.

While talking, Silly Zhu caught up behind him and said to Jiang Ping'an:

"Jiang Ping'an, if you don't have a bicycle, why don't you ride it for me?"

"Silly Zhu, you don't have a big face, but you are as thick as a city wall!" Jiang Pingan scolded with a smile.

After a pause, he asked again: "Silly Zhu, I heard from Yushui that you bring her food every day now?"

"There is such a thing. The food in her school is not oily, so I don't need to put more thought into it?" He Yuzhu nodded.

Jiang Pingan smiled and said, "Then your elder brother is quite competent. Get more delicious food for Yushui, she is too thin."

"You don't need to say this, my own sister knows how to take care of it." He Yuzhu pouted.

Jiang Pingan smiled, turned around and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Deputy Director Li still has a bicycle ticket in his hand, and I want to get it."

"Although this car can be used at any time, it is not my own."

"It's for no reason, maybe it's hard to get a bicycle ticket?" Yi Zhonghai said in surprise.

Jiang Pingan laughed and said meaningfully: "I have my own way to get the tickets from him."

After a pause, he continued: "But when the time comes, I will have to have the support of my uncle again."

"You can just deal with it. As long as you get the ticket, I will lend you the amount you need." Yi Zhonghai agreed.

An extra bicycle in the yard is not only convenient for Jiang Ping'an, but also convenient for the neighbors in case of emergency.

Like someone who has a high fever and a cold or something, he is in a hurry, and it is much more convenient to have a bicycle to see him off.

Jiang Pingan thanked and said, "Then thank you very much, Grandpa."

"I don't dare to ask for it without first discussing it with you. I'm afraid that if I get the ticket, I won't have money to buy a car."

He Yuzhu asked suspiciously: "Jiang Ping'an, what method are you going to use to get the ticket from Deputy Director Li?"

"Calling you silly, you are really stupid." Xu Damao who was next to him spoke up.

"I will definitely not tell you about Jiang Pingan's method. Otherwise, what should I do if someone wants to leave the ticket?"

He Yuzhu stared and said: "Xu Damao, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Xu Damao was afraid that He Yuzhu would beat him, so he hurriedly pushed the cart to Jiang Ping'an's side.

Liu Haizhong said: "Silly Zhu, what Da Mao said is right, not everything can be found out."

"Okay, I won't ask the head office!" He Yuzhu pursed his lips, and walked away at a faster pace.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and asked Jiang Pingan:

"Ping An, is it decided to go to the Northeast in the middle of next month?"

"It's already decided, and we're still deploying manpower. There are a lot of people going this time." Jiang Pingan nodded.

"This time not only our main factory will send people to go, but also the subordinate units will send people to go together."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Northeast, that's an industrial base with many big factories!"

"By the way, sir, I have something personal to discuss with you," Jiang Ping'an said.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and smiled, "Tell me, do you need to borrow money for a business trip?"

"Uh, that's not true." Jiang Pingan shook his head and said in a deep thought, "I want to repair the house."

"As you know, my house is pretty solid, but it's also dilapidated."

"I want to take advantage of the time of my business trip to ask someone to repair it."

"For this matter, we must borrow some money from the uncle, hire workers, and buy materials."

"In addition, after I'm on a business trip, it's also necessary for my uncle and my mother to help me keep an eye on it."

Yi Zhonghai smiled wryly and said, "I knew it would be bad if you opened your mouth."

"I need to contribute both money and effort, and I don't have to toss people like you."

Jiang Pingan laughed and said, "I'm in the yard, am I getting close to the uncle and the mother?"

"I'm relieved if you can help me with anything!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Forget it, you're begging me to come, so naturally I'll do my best to help you."

"Do you need me to help hire workers and buy materials?"

Jiang Pingan shook his head and said, "It's not urgent."

"Before I leave, let's take some time to plan the house well before we think about it."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said: "That's good, anyway, there are still more than half a month, so there is still plenty of time."

At this time, Xu Damao interjected, "Jiang Ping'an, take my house with me and repair it along the way."

"It just so happens that Ezi will go back to her mother's house for a while, and I will go back to my hometown when the time comes."

"I have been interested in this matter for a long time, but I have never had a chance. Let's do it together."

Jiang Pingan knew that Lou Xiaoe was going to the northeast when she returned to her natal home, so she nodded and said:

"Okay, when it's time to plan, I'll call you."

A group of people talked and laughed, and came to the rolling mill to leave.

Jiang Ping'an first found Director Chen, opened a note, and then went to the finance department to get some money and tickets to bring.

After coming out of the finance department, I ran into Deputy Director Li at the top of the stairs.

"Peace, are you going to the countryside today?" Deputy Director Li asked with a smile.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm leaving right now. I just went to the finance department to get some money tickets."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Be more careful and find more things to come back." Deputy Factory Manager Li urged.

After a pause, he continued: "Also, my bicycle ticket has been prepared and is waiting for you to come and get it!"

Jiang Ping'an smiled, leaned forward, and said in a low voice:

"I already have a letter. I can get three pills this time, and I'm still refining and making them."

"When I come back from the countryside, I will go and get it, and I promise not to disappoint the factory manager."

Deputy Director Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, Comrade Ping'an's fighting power has never disappointed you!"

"I'll wait for your triumphant return. When things are done, not only will I give you a ticket, but your sister-in-law will also treat you to dinner!"

"Take it to my sister-in-law for me, I will definitely eat this meal." Jiang Pingan said, patting his chest.

The line of deputy factory director Li must be connected. In the future, help will be indispensable, and hypocrisy is inevitable.

His daughter-in-law heard that her natal family had a deep background, and Jiang Ping'an wanted to get some special Huazi from her.

At the same time, Jiang Ping'an also wanted to turn the money of deputy factory director Li into his own money through the Dragon Pill.

As for Director Chen, I will definitely persuade him to take it easy in the future.

So as not to be comfortable for a while, drink the north wind in the future.

After bidding farewell to Deputy Director Li, Jiang Ping'an did not stay any longer.

Yiliu Yan rode his bicycle and left the rolling mill.

There is no rush to go to the country.

During this period of time, he moved here and there, and finally got enough for a hundred catties of salt tickets.

This means that he has a wide network of contacts, and ordinary people really can't get so many salt tickets at the moment.

You should buy it as soon as possible. When you arrive in the country, you will need it for cooking and bacon.

What needs to be said is that in previous years, there was no limit to the amount of salt, and the supply was open.

However, during the difficult period of the past few years, due to various reasons, the supply of salt in the capital has also been tight.

So even if you buy table salt now, you still need a ticket.

If you have an urban household registration, each household will be supplied with one catty of salt per month.

Choose one of large grains of coarse salt or refined salt, and add half a catty for large households with more than ten mouthfuls.

Soon, with one hundred catties of salt in hand, Jiang Ping'an went straight to the countryside.

———————————

Nantai Commune, Jiuxiang Village.

That is the hometown of the Jia family.

Jiang Ping'an didn't rush to Liangjia Village. After leaving the city, he came here directly.

He came here today mainly to buy bees.

The last time he came here, he was actually buying bees, but the beekeeper was not there.

I heard that someone in the family was sick and was treated at the commune hospital, and the whole family went to take care of it.

There was no rush to buy bees, so Jiang Ping'an decided at the time to buy them again this time.

This time, the beekeeping family is here.

The buying process was also very smooth. After paying the money and food stamps, Jiang Ping'an got two boxes of bees easily.

Putting the two boxes of bees in two baskets, Jiang Pingan rode a bicycle to the outside of the village.

When I arrived at a remote corner, I put all the bees in the space.

In fruit forests and plantations, as soon as the bees entered the space, they all rushed out of the beehives.

After observing for a few minutes, Jiang Ping'an was relieved to see that the bees could adapt to the climate in the space.

After thinking about it, he waited for half an hour and went back to buy eight beehives.

When the time comes to divide the queen bees, there must be ten boxes of bees in the space, and the honey produced is enough for use.

After the matter was settled, Jiang Ping'an went to Liangjia Village with a relaxed face.

Liangjia Village, Jiang Ping'an's house, in the kitchen.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were chatting around the fire.

Qin Jingru worried: "Sister, why hasn't Brother Pingan gone to the countryside for so long this time? Did something happen?"

"Don't worry, there must be some delay." Qin Huairu relieved.

She hugged Xiao Dang and carefully fed Xiao Dangmi Lake.

Jiang Pingan didn't go to the countryside during this time, and Qin Huairu also took the opportunity to wean Xiaodang.

"That's good, I hope he's safe and sound." Qin Jingru prayed.

After recovering, she asked again: "Sister, are you going back in a few days?"

"Well, the payment will be closed in three or four days, and I will go back early then." Qin Huairu nodded.

Although staying in the country had food and drink, she still had a lot of worries and wished that the factory would shut down wages earlier.

She didn't know that Mrs. Jia Zhang and Bang Jiao had already gone back.

Qin Jingru: "Will you go back with Brother Pingan?"

Qin Huairu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "We can't go back together."

"My mother-in-law and your cousin-in-law treat me very closely and don't allow me to talk to other men."

Having said that, she smiled again and continued:

"Hehe, they are quite relieved about Ping An."

"But even if they are relieved, I have to avoid it."

"Brother Ping An has a good reputation, so they can rest assured." Qin Jingru took it for granted.

Qin Huairu pursed her lips secretly. She used to think that Jiang Ping'an was honest and kind.

But now I know that this guy is a wolf in sheep's clothing, the kind of bad guy who eats people without spit out bones.

While talking, there was movement outside.

Qin Jingru was overjoyed and ran out quickly.

"Brother Ping An, it really is you, you are finally here!" Qin Jingru said with a smile, very happy.

Jiang Pingan said with a smile: "The factory organizes study these days, so I went to the countryside a few days late."

He pushed his bicycle into the main room, and asked as he walked, "Is there anything going on here?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's better than ever to eat and drink!" Qin Jingru said with a smile.

At this moment, Qin Huairu came out with Xiao Dang in his arms, with a smile on his face and spring waves in his eyes.

"Come on? Jingru was talking about you just now!"

Jiang Pingan nodded, and was about to speak when Qin Jingru ran forward, turned around a few times, and said:

"Brother Ping, look, do I look much better now?"

Jiang Pingan looked her up and down, nodded in praise and said:

"Yes, the skin is rosy and radiant."

"The face seems to be rounder, there should be some flesh growing on the body?"

"Hee hee, it's thanks to brother Ping An who brought so much lard back." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

"Even if you eat Wowotou, if you add more oil and water when cooking, it will taste different."

Jiang Pingan parked the car and said in surprise, "You didn't eat the white flour and rice I brought to the countryside?"

"I didn't eat the white flour, but I did grind the rice into powder, and let Xiaodang eat some." Qin Huairu continued.

Jiang Pingan glanced at Xiaodang and said in surprise, "Weaned in a few days?"

"It's time to wean her. She is almost one year old, and it would be shameful to stop breastfeeding." Qin Huairu nodded.

Jiang Pingan nodded and did not try to persuade him. The last time Qin Huairu mentioned something to him, he thought it was just a joke.

Anyway, it's not my own child, so there's nothing to care about.

"Okay, Jingru, bring me a basin of hot water. I'll wash my face first." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Qin Jingru smiled sweetly, and hurried to the kitchen to fetch hot water.

Qin Huairu leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Go back before closing the salary?"

"Well, go back the day before the customs duty." Jiang Ping'an nodded.

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said, "Then I'll take good care of you these few days, it won't be so convenient to go back."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and smiled.

At this moment, he was not in a hurry to tell Qin Huairu that Jia Zhang and Banggen had returned to the city.

Soon, Qin Jingru fetched hot water, and Jiang Ping'an washed his face comfortably.

"Riding a bicycle in winter, with all the wind blowing, it must be very cold, right?" Qin Jingru asked with concern.

Jiang Pingan said with a smile: "Many people want to ride but don't have to. It doesn't matter if it's cold."

The three returned to the kitchen fire and sat down to talk.

Qin Huairu asked: "Many people in the courtyard have run out of food, right?"

"Well, during the holiday yesterday, several households in the yard didn't fire." Jiang Pingan nodded.

Qin Huairu sighed, thankfully said:

"Fortunately, I came to you, otherwise I don't know what to do!"

"A living person will never suffocate to death with urine."

"Even if you don't come to my place, you will naturally find other ways to get through the difficulties."

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "That's what I said, but even if I can think of a way, life will not be easy."

"Then your life is easier now?" Jiang Ping'an asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

Qin Huairu nodded, pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"To be honest, I have enough stick noodles and enough oil and water. I really haven't had a few days like this."

Qin Jingru said in surprise: "Cousin, when you married into Jia's family, you weren't too old at that time, right?"

Qin Huairu sighed: "The age was not bad at that time."

"But your brother-in-law is still an apprentice, and the family income is low."

"When the father-in-law was there, the family had savings."

"But my mother-in-law bought a sewing machine to save face."

"By the way, tickets were just implemented at that time, and tickets were not required to buy sewing machines."

"As a result, the family's savings were spent and there was not much left."

"Your brother-in-law earns so little, how dare he open his stomach to eat?"

"You may not believe it, Jingru, but I ate a few full meals when I gave birth to confinement."

"After I gave birth to Xiao Dang, my mother-in-law kicked me up to wash and cook without even confinement. I know this safely."

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Young child must have been confinement for eight days!"

"So why did your mother-in-law attract hatred?"

"Sometimes she acts too harshly!"

Qin Huairu shook her head and smiled wryly, "I can't help it, my mother-in-law is too patriarchal."

"Xiaodang is a girl, so naturally she won't like it."

———————————

After chatting for a while.

Qin Jingru said that he would go home first and come back later.

in the kitchen.

Jiang Pingan smirked and said, "Xiao Dang is asleep, put her on the bed quickly."

"Virtue, you will torment me as soon as you come." Qin Huairu rolled his eyes.

Although he said this in his mouth, his heart was very moved.

After eating vegetarian food for several days, she also wanted to get a taste of meat.

After returning to the house and putting away the pawn, Qin Huairu turned around and pushed Jiang Pingan out, whispering;

"Go to your room, so as not to wake up Xiao Dang."

"She hasn't slept well since weaning."

The two came to Jiang Pingan's room, hugged each other forcefully, and kissed each other.

"Don't! Let's keep it simple, so that we don't have time to react when Jingru comes." Qin Huairu pressed Jiang Pingan's hand.

Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but get right to the point without saying much...

The topic is a bit moist, and there is a degree of relaxation.

After more than an hour.

Qin Huairu seemed to be running a marathon, sweating profusely and panting.

Suppressing the exhaustion, she thoughtfully helped Jiang Pingan clean up, and then went back to clean up for herself.

"Jingru should have gone home to help with work, but she hasn't come here yet."

After recovering, Qin Huairu smiled like a flower.

After a friendly and in-depth exchange, the two are extremely intimate at the moment.

Hand in hand, we came to the kitchen and sat down together.

Jiang Ping'an lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked:

"Did Jingru eat here during this time?"

"Well, she didn't want to, but I persuaded her a few times before she came over." Qin Huairu nodded.

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Ping'an, pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"I see, Jingru won't be able to escape your clutches in the end. I won't feel bad after eating a few meals from you, will I?"

"Can you talk? Why am I caught by a demon here?" Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows and gave her a look.

"Besides, it's my suggestion to let her eat here. What's so distressing?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Not to mention, I still like your generosity."

"Then we have to separate people!" Jiang Ping'an said seriously.

"Think about it, can anyone eat my food?"

Qin Huairu froze for a moment, nodded and smiled, "That's right."

"If I hadn't been related to you, you wouldn't have given me anything to eat if I knelt down and kowtowed, would you?"

Jiang Pingan nodded and said: "Of course, these days, there are too many people who can't get enough to eat."

"I can't help everyone, can I? I don't even have the ability to help!"

"You're right, not everyone can help." Qin Huairu nodded.

"By the way, I think you have a lot of experience. You should have experienced many women, right?"

Jiang Pingan squinted at her and said angrily, "Why do you ask me this?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Qin Huairu said quickly.

Jiang Pingan said expressionlessly: "Curiosity kills people. Sometimes you have to pretend to be a lake to make life easier."

"Okay, I won't inquire about it in the future." Qin Huairu immediately softened.

Jiang Ping'an is now half a man to her, and for some reason, Qin Huairu also hopes that he will have a better life.

In this way, you can also live better.

When I tested him earlier, I didn't want him to have any accidents.

I want to persuade him not to mess around with other women, but to serve him with all my strength.

But seeing that Jiang Ping'an was so vigilant, Qin Huairu gave up his warning.

She knew that Jiang Ping'an had the right idea, and if she talked too much, it would make him disgusted.

"Last time you said you wanted to buy me meat." Qin Huairu complained.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, and said in a bad mood: "Okay, now you're being tricky!"

"I've only had a full meal for a few days, and I'm thinking about eating meat again. Can't I eat delicacies from mountains and seas in the future?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I didn't say that. You were the one who mentioned eating meat back then."

"Eat more oil, it's good to have enough oil and water. As for the meat, we'll talk about it later." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Qin Huairu was not disappointed either, Jiang Ping'an was right, it would be considered good to be able to eat oil these days.

Even being able to have a full stomach with corned buns is a luxury.

Next, the two whispered about various things.

Jiang Ping'an just didn't tell her about Jia Zhang's and Banggen.

He planned to talk to Qin Huairu again at night.

Qin Huairu knew that after Jia Zhang and Banggen went back, she couldn't help but want to go back immediately.

This was exactly what Jiang Ping'an wanted.

He just took the time to make some delicious food at home and put them in the space.

It is estimated that I will be busy for a day or two, and I need to cook more meals.

He went to the countryside this time mainly to do this.

As for the tasks in the factory, there are no tasks now, and as many things as they can get, they can do as much as they can.

Jiang Ping'an still remembered that Director Chen said that as long as he brought two hares back, he would bring a stove to the office.

This time when we return to the factory, we only need to mention two hares.

The Red Star Commune was raided by him last time, and it had been raided long ago.

Of course, other communes farther away may still have supplies.

But he doesn't want to go for the time being, his basic plan is in the Red Star Commune.

Now that there is space, just maintain this side.

In other communes, each family has more buyers and fewer supplies.

It is estimated that only the New Year's pigs will be killed in the twelfth lunar month to see if there is any harvest.

Go now, the possibility of running empty road is very high.

It took about eleven minutes before Qin Jingru came over.

The two sisters began to steam steamed buns, choose and wash vegetables, and got busy.

Wowotou is made of extremely fine stick noodles, and the taste is no worse than that of white noodles.

Both sisters knew that Jiang Ping'an couldn't get used to eating coarse grains, so they kept it for themselves.

After such a long time, there are still a lot of the original stick noodles left.

Although there was still food, the sisters of the Qin family knew the hardships and did not dare to open their stomachs to eat.

During the meal, Jiang Ping'an asked Qin Jingru:

"Jingru, what has your father been up to lately?"

Qin Jingru said: "It's digging rivers to clear silt, digging canals and building roads."

"The commune issued a notice to repair some facilities during the slack season."

Jiang Ping'an was surprised: "Your father and brother have gone?"

"Hee hee, not only my father and brother went, but my sister-in-law also went to help with the cooking." Qin Jingru said.

"As long as you can help me over there, I will take care of two meals. Every family wishes to bring everyone there."

"My mother and I didn't go because we had to take care of our two nephews, otherwise we would have gone too."

Jiang Ping'an was surprised: "There is still a lot of food in the commune? There are still surplus food to hire people to work."

"I heard that part of the relief food was withheld, but I don't know if it's true or not." Qin Jingru whispered.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Whether it's true or not, it will still benefit our own people in the commune."

Qin Jingru nodded and said, "That's not wrong, it's just that life is too hard."

"Dug out the soil from the bottom of the river and transport it to the river's edge.

"People's feet are covered with sweat when they step on the ice, snow and mud. One can imagine the degree of hard work."

"However, even if it is such a hard job, everyone is rushing to do it. There is no other way, just because of that stutter."

Jiang Pingan turned his head to Qin Huairu and said, "Now you know how hard it is in the countryside?"

"Virtue, can I not know?" Qin Huairu rolled his eyes and said softly.

"Isn't the reason why I tried everything possible to marry into the city at the beginning to escape from this kind of life?"

Qin Jingru sighed: "Cousin's choice is right, life in the countryside is too hard!"

———————————

have eaten.

After the Qin sisters cleaned up the kitchen, Qin Jingru went back.

Her family has two nephews, one of whom is still a baby.

Her mother sometimes has to do some housework, which requires Qin Jingru to keep an eye on her from time to time.

Jiang Pingan sat in the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. After resting for a while, he said to Qin Huairu:

"I'll go to the village to borrow something, and I'll be back later."

Qin Huairu nodded without asking any further questions, and watched Jiang Ping'an leave.

Liang Laosan's house, Liang Laosan was away, only Aunt Liang San was looking after the house.

Needless to say, Liangjia Village is the same as Qinjia Village. Most people have gone to dig ditches and build roads.

"Third aunt, I remember that our production team has a set of housework for banquets, is it still in the village?"

"Uh, it's Ping'an!" Third Aunt Liang was very affectionate when she saw Jiang Ping'an.

Although Jiang Ping'an had already moved to the city, it was no different from not going to the city.

For the people of Liangjia Village, Jiang Ping'an is not only a capable person in the village going out, but also their pride.

If the production team had any difficulties, ask Jiang Ping'an, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he would help.

Just like the last time Liang Ladi went to the countryside to buy food, the first thing Liang Laosan thought of was to ask Jiang Ping'an for help.

It's hard to come up with a set of household chores for banquets, especially iron ones.

Only the people in Liangjia Village were careful, and Jiang Ping'an remembered that they hid a set.

Third Aunt Liang welcomed Jiang Pingan into the house, looked out, and asked cautiously:

"Ping An, what are those household chores you ask for? Does anyone want to borrow them?"

"Well, I have a leader who is going to marry a girl, and asked me to find out a set, so I borrowed it." Jiang Ping'an whispered.

Third Aunt Liang's expression eased, and she muttered:

"The leader wants to borrow it. For your future, I want to help you with this favor."

"Dong XZ is in the cellar in the back mountain. I'll give you the key."

"Get it yourself, be careful on the way, don't let anyone see you."

Jiang Ping'an said gratefully, "That's fine, thank you, Third Aunt."

"When the work is over, I will bring ten catties of stick noodles to send you off."

"Don't be shy about accepting it, it's a gift from the leader, I'll just pass it on."

Third Aunt Liang smiled and said, "Well, food is expensive these days."

"If you bring anything else, I will definitely refuse. If you bring food, I will accept it with both hands."

"Hey, that's right, our family, you're welcome." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

After taking the key, Jiang Ping'an did not stay, but left.

Did not go to the back mountain.

Jiang Ping'an had carefully considered that if he wanted to cook on a large scale, it would not be safe even in Liangjia Village.

It's fine to steam some steamed buns and stir-fry some vegetables.

But if you want to get some braised pork, twice-cooked pork, braised pork, roast duck, etc., the meat and vegetables are fragrant, then it is not good.

Therefore, he planned to take his things to the deep mountains and forests early tomorrow morning and stay for a day or two.

It would be convenient to pick up the things on the way when we leave tomorrow morning.

No matter how much you toss in the deep mountains, you are not afraid of being discovered.

Besides, doesn't he still have the ability to warn of 100 meters?

If someone really wants to pass by, he can also run away early.

When he got home, Qin Huairu saw him coming back empty-handed, and asked suspiciously:

"Didn't you say you want to borrow something? Didn't you borrow it?"

"They're not here, they all went to work in the commune." Jiang Pingan smiled and replied casually.

Qin Huairu let out an oh, and didn't ask any further questions. The two chatted for a while, and she suddenly said:

"How about... I boil some water and wash well?"

"Hehehe... You're quite addicted, thinking about it again?" Jiang Pingan said with a smirk.

Qin Huairu smiled sweetly, pursed her lips and said, "You are allowed to think about it, but I am not allowed to think about it?"

"Hahaha...Of course you think about it, go ahead, I'll be with you later." Jiang Pingan laughed.

"Virtue!" Qin Huairu smiled back, turned around and went to the kitchen to boil water.

Jiang Pingan pursed his smile, becoming more and more satisfied with Qin Huairu's performance.

"This girl, you don't think my place is half of your family, do you?" He thought to himself.

It's really possible.

The Jia family is her real home, but it is full of suffering and bitterness.

Jiang Ping'an's here is her secret home, full of happiness and satisfaction.

Perhaps for Qin Huairu, Jiang Pingan's half of the family is the most appropriate supplement to the life she is looking forward to.

Two homes, one bright and one dark, one yin and one yang, maybe Qin Huairu is still having fun secretly!

Sitting and smoking a cigarette, basking in the sun for a while, soon, Qin Huairu shouted in the house that the water was ready.

Jiang Pingan ran over excitedly.

After a while, the sound of laughter and coquettishness came from the room.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Jingru bounced over from her house and saw Jiang Ping'an and Qin Huairu's faces were ruddy.

I thought they were exposed to the sun, but I didn't suspect anything.

Qin Huairu frowned slightly, got up suddenly and said, "I'll go to the room to see Xiaodang."

With that said, he walked away with his legs crossed.

"What's the matter with her? She walks with small steps..." Qin Jingru wondered.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Maybe it's the menstruation!"

Qin Jingru suddenly nodded and said, "Well, no wonder it's a bit awkward to see her walking, it wasn't like this in the morning."

"Let's not talk about her. This time I went to the countryside and brought some books with me." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Qin Jingru's face collapsed, and he said depressedly: "You still want me to study, how can I get in?"

"If you can't read it, you have to read it!" Jiang Ping'an said seriously.

"If you want to enter the city and want a good job, you must be literate."

"Otherwise, I can only be a housewife for the rest of my life!"

Qin Jingru murmured, "I just love being a housewife."

"Is there anything wrong with doing laundry, cooking and raising children?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but if you want to follow me, you must be able to read and write!" Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Before she could say anything more, Jiang Ping'an urged:

"The book is in my receiving basket, go get it."

Qin Jingru didn't dare to resist, and went to get the book with a sad face.

Soon, Qin Jingru moved out a table, and a few books were placed on the table.

It was not the first time that Jiang Ping'an urged him to study.

After the table was put away, Qin Jingru sat down, flipped through the books, bit her lips and asked:

"This is the textbook for the first grade of junior high school? Where did you get it?"

"What's the problem? Didn't I also get your previous books?" Jiang Pingan said angrily.

Qin Jingru has been in elementary school for several years and can barely write.

Over the years, Jiang Pingan taught her slowly, basically finishing the primary school courses.

Qin Jingru snorted, turned a few more pages, and suddenly said in surprise:

"Hey! This is a book used by girls."

"Look at the handwriting. It's neat and beautiful. It's really well written."

Jiang Pingan smiled and nodded, "That's right, this is the book the girl used."

"Also, you should practice your handwriting well."

"The pens and homework books I gave you are not decorations."

"Understood, I have been practicing, and now I can write at least one word every day." Qin Jingru nodded.

Although she was reluctant to study, this was the homework assigned to her by Jiang Pingan, and she did not dare to be lazy.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay, next time I come over, I'll check your homework carefully."

"Now I'll take the time to teach you the first grade of junior high school..."

———————————

afternoon.

It passed while Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru were teaching and learning.

Meanwhile, Qin Huairu also came to watch.

She has no intention of studying culture, she just watches the excitement, but she is envious.

Seeing Jiang Pingan teaching Qin Jingru how to read, Qin Huairu sighed in his heart that Qin Jingru was lucky.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.

Qin Jingru ran home to have a look, and soon came back to help cook the fire.

Qin Huairu, on the other hand, had no time, hugged Xiaodang, and fed Mihuhu.

Jiang Pingan didn't say anything as he watched Xiao Dang eating the lakes and lakes made from his rice.

Anyway, it's just these few days, when she goes back, she will eat her own food.

Food supplies are tight these days.

In the past, the monthly ration standard for an ordinary resident was 28 catties, but now it has dropped to 21 catties.

Depending on age, 3 catties for infants, 6 catties for children, 8 catties for children, and 21 catties for adults.

In addition, according to different identities, the indicators are different.

Among them, flour supply accounts for 20% of the total ration, and rice accounts for 10%.

The rest supply coarse grains: cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, sorghum noodles, fresh sweet potatoes and so on.

Of course, there are also special groups, such as heavy manual workers.

For industry personnel such as mine workers, road builders and track layers, the standard food supply for a month is 60 catties.

Among the courtyard houses, the one with the highest grain ration should belong to the second uncle Liu Haizhong.

He is a blacksmith and also does manual work, and his monthly food supply is as high as 42 catties.

And no matter how tight the supplies are, he will eat at least one egg a day to supplement his nutrition.

Otherwise, it won't be long before the body will be dragged down.

After Qin Huairu and Xiaodang returned to the city, Yi Zhonghai and the others should take Xiaodang into consideration when giving food to Jia's family.

It will be mixed with a few catties of fine grains, specially for Xiao Dang to eat.

After feeding Xiaodang, Qin Huairu got up and said:

"Ping An, give me a hug for Xiaodang, I'll cook in the past."

Jiang Pingan nodded and took Xiao Dang over.

Then he walked to the door of the stove and huddled with Qin Jingru who was lighting the fire.

"Jingru, are your father and the others back?" Jiang Ping'an asked.

Qin Jingru shook her head and said, "Not so soon."

"I heard from my dad that the place to work is a bit far away, and it takes more than an hour to walk!"

"Are they going out early in the morning?" Jiang Ping'an continued to ask.

Qin Jingru nodded and said, "Well, we set off before dawn."

After a pause, she hesitated and said, "By the way, I might not come here tomorrow."

"Oh? Do you have something to do?" Jiang Ping'an said unexpectedly.

Qin Jingru hummed and explained: "My mother asked me to go with me tomorrow to help the production team cook."

"Is there not enough manpower over there?" Jiang Ping'an frowned.

Qin Jingru said: "Whether you have enough or not, you have to go, you can earn work points."

"Anyway, idleness is idleness. It is always good to have more work points at home."

"Okay, I just want to go out tomorrow and the next two days, not at home." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Qin Huairu who was picking vegetables suddenly interjected:

"Ping An, are you going to go shopping this time, and you have to go far?"

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, I have traveled all over the communes near us."

"So I plan to go to a far place to see if I can gain something."

Qin Huairu sighed: "Then it's just me and Xiaodang in the house, it's too quiet."

Jiang Ping'an smiled, but didn't answer.

In the evening, after telling her about Jia Zhang's and Bang Geng's return to the city, I guarantee that Qin Huai and Ru Ming will run faster than a rabbit in the morning.

Looking back, Jiang Pingan told Qin Jingru:

"When I'm not here, the homework assigned to you must be completed with quality and quantity, and you are not allowed to be careless."

"The next time I come here, I will check carefully. If I find that you are not paying attention, see how I will deal with you!"

"Oh! I'll be careful, don't be so fierce, okay?" Qin Jingru was about to collapse.

Jiang Pingan said angrily: "Don't be unhappy, this is all for your own good!

"If you dare to be perfunctory, the first criticism, the second bamboo shoot...

Meat, I will ignore you for the third time! "

Qin Jingru hurriedly raised her right hand and swore:

"I swear, I will read and write with my heart!"

After dinner in the evening, Qin Jingru went back home with her books.

Qin Huairu smiled, at night, when the two of them act recklessly, it makes people the happiest.

"I'll get a basin of boiling water first, and I'll warm your feet to keep you warm at night." Qin Huairu said softly and considerately.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Pingan asked Qin Huairu to take care of him like an old man.

Not to mention, there is a woman in the family, which is different.

Not only are there fireworks, but the life of opening your mouth for food and reaching out for clothes is also comfortable.

What's more, there are women warming the bed at night, which is better than those few salt water bottles.

Under the soft light of the oil lamp, Qin Huairu is charming and charming, her face is smooth and shiny.

She squatted down and washed Jiang Pingan's feet herself.

From time to time, he raised his head, staring at Jiang Pingan affectionately with his crystal clear eyes.

"Look at it if you want, don't peep." Jiang Ping'an said with a smirk.

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Who is spying on you? I'm looking at it openly."

After a pause, she tilted her head and said with a smile:

"Besides, you are my man now, what happened when I looked at you?"

"Half, I can only count you as half a man." Jiang Ping'an corrected.

Qin Huairu glared at him, and said angrily:

"Even if it's half, you're still my man!"

Jiang Pingan laughed loudly, raised his feet from the basin, and rubbed against Qin Huairu's chest.

Qin Huairu dodged, instead of retreating, he advanced.

With a laugh, she hugged Jiang Pingan's feet in her arms and wiped away the water stains with her clothes.

"You mother-in-law, you are really loved to death!" Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

Qin Huairu chuckled lightly and asked:

"Love? Will you be inseparable from me in the future?"

"Well, a little bit, you are too good at serving people." Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled.

Qin Huairu laughed, raised her eyebrows and said:

"I just want you to be inseparable from me. From now on, I will cling to you for the rest of my life!"

"Okay, I didn't expect you to have such cruel thoughts, let's see if I don't deal with you!"

Jiang Ping'an was furious in sheep's clothing, put her feet down, and after putting on her shoes, stepped forward and hugged her up by the waist.

"Oh, slow down, I haven't washed my feet yet!" Qin Huairu laughed and cursed, but did not resist.

Jiang Pingan laughed, hugged her and walked straight to his bedroom.

After a while, there was an eloquent singing voice in the room, which was indescribably beautiful.

More than forty minutes later.

Qin Huairu dragged his tired body, got up and lit a cigarette for Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, and muttered:

"There's something I almost forgot to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Qin Huairu got into his arms and asked curiously.

Jiang Ping'an said, "Your mother-in-law and Bang Geng went back yesterday."

"Go back, where are you going?" Qin Huairu frowned, his eyes flickering.

Jiang Pingan looked down at her and asked, "Where do you think they are going?"

Qin Huairu looked at Jiang Ping'an in a daze, and didn't speak for a while.

After a while, he suddenly lay in Jiang Ping'an's arms and burst into tears.

"They didn't bring me a letter when they went back... woo woo..."

"Why are they so cruel? I never thought that I might not be able to survive in the countryside?"

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubuuuu

"Woooo... don't you have any affection? Woooo..."

"Even if you're an outsider, you don't have to be so cold, right? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
