Jia Dongxu has been living quite freely at home these past two days, and he can even go to Yi Zhonghai's house to eat and drink when he has nothing to do.
Yi Zhonghai was also very happy. Without Jia Zhang's presence, Jia Dongxu was no different from his own son.
…………
However, these people still have to come back. The first to come back are Qin Huairu, Bang Geng and the other two.
Because the Qin family no longer cooks at home, Qin Huairu also ate in the cafeteria for two days.
Although the food was delicious, the villagers also charged her for it, so Qin Huairu simply returned home early.
Bang Geng was the one who didn't want to come back. Everyone in the countryside was proud of him. Instead, they all praised him when they knew he was from the city.
But it was different for Jia Zhang. Relying on her thick skin and threatening the Fourth Master of the Jia family, she ate in the village canteen for a whole week and made herself hated by everyone.
If the Fourth Master of the Jia family had not threatened her that he would not let her bury her ancestors in the future, Jia Zhang might have had to eat here until her death.
The most obvious thing was that when Jia Zhang returned to the courtyard, her face was fatter.
But as soon as Jia Zhang came back, the Jia family became lively.
"Oh, Dongxu, we can't live anymore! We have lost all our land!" After Jia Zhang came back, she started howling at Jia Dongxu.
"So what if it's gone? My salary can support our family, but our family will be a little tight in the future!" Jia Dongxu had no choice but to say helplessly.
"Your fourth master is a bastard. I ate public meals in the village for a few days, and he tried to chase me away." Jia Zhang still felt a little nostalgic when she thought of the meals she had eaten in the village.
No matter how it tastes, the portion must be filling. In the early days, the big pot meal was about eating whatever was available, so if there were pigs, they would kill them; if there were sheep, they would slaughter them.
"Don't you know to stay in the countryside for two more days? Food is so precious at home now, so eat a bite and save a bite!" Jia Zhang started to tease Qin Huairu.
"Mom, I have to pay for meals at home, otherwise I won't be allowed to eat. But I can't not eat this stick." Qin Huairu said aggrievedly.
"Hmph! Your family is even less of a good-for-nothing. I've told you to go back less often, and this time I'm right!" Jia Zhang scolded angrily.
Now she disliked Qin Huairu even more. If it weren't for her grandson, she would have wanted to find a city wife for Jia Dongxu.
"But if that's the case, there really might not be enough food at home in the future." Jia Zhang had had enough of playing for a long time. She sat there thinking about the future and began to sigh.
"Yeah, we can't always buy expensive grain." Jia Dongxu also began to sigh after hearing this.
"Go find your master and think of a solution." Jia Zhang suddenly thought of a good idea.
In fact, after all, the Jia family still wants to eat better. Otherwise, they would definitely not starve to death if they only eat cornmeal.
"Okay, I'll go over and ask." Jia Dongxu thought about it and agreed with Jia Zhang's opinion.
Just as Jia Dongxu was about to say he was going out, Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu to take the two children and follow him.
"Master, are you home?" Jia Dongxu went to Yi Zhonghai's house and knocked on the door.
"Dongxu is here." When Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongxu leading a large family into the house, his eyelids started twitching. Since so many people came in such a cluster, there must be something going on.
After Jia Dongxu and his family entered the house, they didn't say anything and just looked at Yi Zhonghai pitifully.
"Dongxu, what's the matter?" Finally, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand being stared at anymore and asked.
"Hey, Master! I really have something to do, and I wanted to see if you can help me." Jia Dongxu suddenly didn't know where to start.
"Tell me, do we men need to say this?" Yi Zhonghai said generously.
"Master, you also know that my uncle and others came to inform us a few days ago that the family's land is gone, and we are short of several hundred kilograms of grain this year." Jia Dongxu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
"I am the only one who supplies food to this family. What will we do when Banggeng and his friends grow bigger? They can't even get enough to eat."
"My mother and Huairu went back to their hometown. Now they have set up a commune and started eating in the canteen. They don't cook at home anymore."
"The land is definitely gone now. I heard that it's all work points now. You get work points for work, and then you get food."
"Master, you said my mother is not in good health. I can't let her go back to the village to work. Huairu still has to take care of two children."
"Before, our family had to eat some expensive food. What will we do in the future?" Jia Dongxu said with tears in his eyes.
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself: It was because Jia Zhang in your family was too greedy before, otherwise it would be more than enough to eat.
"Dongxu, this matter is indeed not easy to handle." Yi Zhonghai also sighed.
Yi Zhonghai thought for a while and continued, "Now the food coupons are fixed. Even if someone has extra, they won't have much."
"What should we do, Master? We adults don't care, but look at these two children, especially Banggeng, who is at the growing age." Jia Dongxu said as he hugged Banggeng in his arms.
"Let me think about it again." Yi Zhonghai also fell silent and stopped talking.
"Master, let's go back first." Jia Dongxu said.
"Yeah." Yi Zhonghai nodded.
After Jia Dongxu and his family left, the aunt said, "The Jia family will have a hard time in the future. How can you help?"
"I can't help you for now." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Why?"
"Wait until they are really hungry."
After listening to Yi Zhonghai, the aunt also remained silent.
After Jia Dongxu brought his two children back home.
Jia Zhang asked anxiously, "What happened? What did Yi Zhonghai say?"
"Nothing!" Jia Dongxu shook his head a little disappointedly.
Then he continued, "The master didn't say anything, just said he would think of a solution."
"Hmph, Yi Zhonghai can't be relied upon at the critical moment, and yet he's still waiting for you to take care of him in his old age?" Jia Zhang started cursing when she heard that Yi Zhonghai didn't help.
"Let's wait and see. My master can't give us his own rations." Jia Dongxu said.
"No matter how much the couple can eat, there is always some left over every month. And they also take care of the deaf old lady's home." Jia Zhang said unhappily. She knew the situation of Yi Zhonghai's family very well.
"Let's go ask the street office tomorrow. Mom, you and Huairu can take some odd jobs first to help support the family." Jia Dongxu said finally.
"I can't do it!" Jia Zhang said, and then lay down on the kang to sleep.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu also looked at each other and looked at Jia Zhang helplessly.
Just as the two were about to leave, they saw Jia Zhang suddenly sit up again and say, "Let your master organize a meeting for the entire hospital tomorrow to help our family."
"I'll go ask." Jia Dongxu thought this was also a good idea.
