"Mother! Noodles, noodles!"
Banggeng hugged Qin Huairu's thighs and mumbled something incoherently.
Qin Huairu listened to it two or three times before she understood what was going on.
My son wants to eat noodles.
But we don’t have any white flour at home, not even double-grain flour, so we can’t make noodles.
"We'll have noodles after we get our wages in a few days. Let's have some porridge today."
"Noodles!! Noodles!"
When Banggeng heard this, he became very unhappy and sat down on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.
Jia Dongxu took a good look at Qin Huairu, who returned home empty-handed, and said unhappily, "Qin Huairu, why did you come back empty-handed?"
"Where are the instant noodles? Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong both brought back instant noodles, why didn't you buy any?"
instant noodles?
Qin Huairu finally realized that Banggeng was making a fuss because he wanted to eat instant noodles!
No wonder he hugged his own calf in such an abnormal way.
"You don't know our family's financial situation. How can we afford instant noodles?" Qin Huairu paused and added, "After receiving our salary, we still have to pay back Xu Damao. We will have to tighten our belts and only eat two meals a day."
"Two meals is fine, I have to eat instant noodles every meal."
Jia Dongxu knew he was in the wrong, so he had to negotiate with Qin Huairu.
If you eat delicious instant noodles every day, eating them twice a day seems acceptable.
After all, it is much more cost-effective to eat two good meals than three bad meals.
"Don't even think about instant noodles. You can eat whatever I cook!" Qin Huairu rejected Jia Dongxu's unreasonable request without even thinking.
She felt that since the products were produced in the canteen, the price must be very high and not something that an ordinary family could afford, let alone two meals a day, let alone two meals a week.
It's like the bread in the cafeteria, we never buy it at home.
Too expensive!
If you have money to buy bread, you might as well buy some cornmeal and flour.
"Qin Huairu, don't go too far!"
Jia Dongxu was so angry that he slapped his thigh. He was the one who beat Qin Huairu into the hospital, and he also owed Xu Damao fifty yuan.
But he is also a human being and a member of the Jia family. Qin Huairu's work station also belongs to the Jia family.
What’s wrong with eating instant noodles twice a day?
Why doesn't Qin Huairu agree?
"I'm being too much? If you didn't owe so much money, would our family be in such trouble?" Qin Huairu glared at Jia Dongxu unhappily.
In the bet with Xu Damao, the Jia family lost more than fifty yuan, including the money to buy pen and paper for Jia Dongxu.
"Fuck, you can't even afford a dime for a bag. Qin Huairu, do you think I, Jia Dongxu, am easy to bully?"
"If you push me too far, I'll just sell my workstation and you'll go back to the countryside!"
The job at the steel rolling mill is the only trump card in Jia Dongxu's hand. It can not only threaten Qin Huairu, but also save his life.
I was really on the verge of starving to death. A workstation could earn me a few hundred yuan, which was enough to last me for several years if I spent it frugally.
"What's a dime a bag?"
Qin Huairu was suddenly stunned, as if she felt something was wrong.
"Okay, okay, Qin Huairu, you're pretending to be confused, right?" Jia Dongxu raised his hand and pointed towards the backyard: "You work in a factory, don't you know that instant noodles cost ten cents a pack?"
"Did you know that our son Bang Geng almost cried because of instant noodles? Did you know that Xu Damao bullied our son for ordering instant noodles?"
"You don't know anything. You only know how to go to work. You don't care about anything at home."
"I'm working so hard at home taking care of my kids, is it too much to just want to eat some instant noodles?"
"You heartless thing! If I hadn't injured my leg for this family, when would it be your turn, Qin Huairu, to be the boss?"
Jia Dongxu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had a thousand grievances in his heart.
Ever since he lost the family's financial power, Jia Dongxu lost his status in the family and had to consult Qin Huairu about everything.
Qin Huairu didn't hear his subsequent complaints and was shocked by the price of one cent a pack.
Understood!
Everything is clear now!
No wonder the fitters in the workshop rushed to the cafeteria in large numbers when getting off work. It turned out that they were going to grab instant noodles.
One cent a pack, so cheap!
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu wanted to see what instant noodles looked like.
If it’s really a good thing, go grab some when you get your salary!
Not only can you eat it at home, you can even sell some of it.
Of course, you have to mark up the price when you sell it. If you add 5 cents to each copy, you can make 50 cents on 10 copies, and 5 dollars on 100 copies!
The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more excited she became. She felt like she had found a way to make money.
"You watch over Bang Geng first. I'll go ask Sha Zhu... No, I want to buy some instant noodles."
After saying that, Qin Huairu handed the stick to Jia Dongxu and hurried out.
When Jia Dongxu heard that they were going to find Sha Zhu, he felt a little unhappy, but when he thought that he might have to eat instant noodles later, he suppressed his discomfort.
Qin Huairu came to the yard, hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on Sha Zhu's door.
Sha Zhu is the monitor of the cafeteria, so he must have instant noodles.
But given the relationship between the two families, Qin Huairu was not sure whether Sha Zhu was willing to give it to her.
"who?"
Liu Lan's voice came from the room, and before Qin Huairu could react, the door creaked open.
"Qin Huairu, why are you knocking on my door so late at night?"
Liu Lan was not polite at all when facing Qin Huairu.
If Sha Zhu hadn't been fooled by Qin Huairu for a few years, the family savings would definitely have been a lot more.
Most of this money can never be recovered because there is no way to settle the accounts.
"I......"
Qin Huairu didn't expect that it was Liu Lan who opened the door, so the trick she had just prepared to fool Sha Zhu was useless.
"Hey? Could it be that you are here to look for Sha Zhu?" Liu Lan raised her eyebrows and her eyes became sharper.
So arrogant!
She's openly trying to provoke her own man!
"Silly Zhu, your old lover is here to see you!"
Liu Lan snorted coldly and shouted into the house.
"Hey, nonsense, I don't have an old lover!" Sha Zhu's voice came from the room.
have to!
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Huairu did not dare to stay and quickly waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys are busy!"
After saying that, he quickly left the middle yard and headed towards the front yard.
This time she planned to find Yan Jiecheng. Even if she couldn't buy instant noodles, she could ask him to save some for her so that she wouldn't have to go to the cafeteria to buy them.
"Buy instant noodles? I don't have much here."
After hearing Qin Huairu's purpose, Yan Jiecheng felt a little embarrassed.
He was just a handyman in the cafeteria, and it was not easy for him to buy a few instant noodles for Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. Although there was no rule in the cafeteria, taking too much at one time would make him seem ignorant of the rules.
So apart from the ones from Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, Yan Jiecheng only bought three to take home.
I ate two more servings at dinner, and now only one is left.
Yu Li also arranged this portion, planning to eat a bowl of instant noodles tomorrow morning.
