Things have become much calmer in the compound recently because of the decreasing supply of side dishes. Even Team Leader Liu has beaten his son less frequently.
There is no shortage of food now, but the main shortage is of non-staple food. You know, people cannot resist hunger if they only eat grain.
But now it’s the end of the month, and the Jia family is really running out of food.
"Mom, there won't be enough food at home for tomorrow." Qin Huairu whispered to Jia Zhang while eating.
When Jia Zhang heard that there was not enough food, she hurriedly stuffed all the rice into her mouth.
"Burp, not two days ago... burp!... Did you say that it's time to get paid?" Jia Zhang ate too fast and choked herself.
Qin Huairu was already cursing in her heart, who could withstand your eating like this? The old people there would rather eat as little as possible, but how could Jia Zhang, this old woman, be so stubborn.
But he could only force a smile on his face and said, "Mom, we have a big family. Dongxu's rations are never enough, and the food coupons I bought this month have all been used up."
"What should we do?" When Jia Zhang heard that they really had nothing to eat this time, she was a little panicked. They had just enjoyed a few years of good life, so why were they starving again?
"Yeah, what should we do?" Qin Huairu was almost worried to death.
All the money and notes of the Jia family were managed by Jia Zhangshi, and only the family's food was managed by Qin Huairu, but she could not produce any food.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was going to get angry again because the meal was too little. Jia Dongxu couldn't go hungry because he had to go to work every day. Banggeng was still growing and needed to eat too.
Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that the clown was actually me. I was the only one in the family who didn't have enough to eat. I had to endure Jia Dongxu's beating while I was hungry at night.
"Dongxu, say something." Qin Huairu had no other choice but to turn her target to Jia Dongxu.
After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang, who had been lying on the kang after eating, turned over and looked at Jia Dongxu.
Jia Zhang said: "Dongxu, think of a solution. Banggeng is still growing and can't be left hungry!"
Jia Dongxu was so upset that he could only say, "I know." Then he dropped his bowl and chopsticks and went out.
Jia Dongxu strolled to the gate of the compound and looked around the front yard. Everyone was eating.
The Yan family is especially lively.
"No, Dad, my score is too little." The speaker was Yan Jiecheng.
"How can it be less? I divided them all into the same size." Yan Fugui said unsatisfiedly.
"Then let's switch." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Go aside, I say it's the same." Yan Fugui said a little angrily.
"Dad, you're being unreasonable. This is clearly the food I brought back from work today. It's just this piece of meat. I'm keeping it for myself."
"But you said we must divide it, and I agreed. But you can't give it to the smaller one in my group. If you do that, I won't bring it back tomorrow." Yan Jiecheng was quite angry. He wouldn't suffer a loss for something he brought back himself.
"Okay, then let's switch." Yan Fugui thought for a long time. If he didn't switch, the family would have one less meal, which would be a big loss.
"Hiss, the meat produced by this steel rolling mill is so delicious. Next time, try to get two more pieces." Yan Fugui said as he put a small piece of meat into his mouth.
"Dad, you're dreaming. There aren't many pieces of meat in this big pot. I'm lucky enough to get here today, and I'm asking you to share it with me." Yan Jiecheng also put his piece of meat into his mouth and was smacking the flavor.
"Oh, the food has been getting worse and worse recently." Yan Fugui said with a sigh.
"Dad, don't sigh. There are many employees like us out there." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Stop making trouble. I'm telling you, when you return the money I gave you to buy a job, we'll be done with it." Yan Fugui said with his eyes glaring.
Jia Dongxu stood outside Yan Fugui's house for a long time, listening to the Yan family quarreling over a piece of meat. He laughed at first.
He slapped himself in the face and said secretly, I am really crazy. Can anyone take advantage of the Yan family?
"Who's outside?" Yan Fugui had very good ears because he watched the gate every day. After saying this, he rushed out of the house.
"Uncle, it's me." This was all Jia Dongxu could say when he found himself caught eavesdropping outside someone else's home.
"What are you doing here?" Yan Fugui looked at Jia Dongxu with suspicion.
"I was just eating and taking a look. There seemed to be a bug, so I swatted it. Has the Third Uncle finished his meal?" Jia Dongxu said.
"We're eating right now. Why are you wandering around so late at night?" Yan Fugui said unhappily. He then stared at Jia Dongxu and left the door before entering the house.
"Dad, who is it?" Yan Jiecheng asked.
"I wonder what Jia Dongxu is doing outside!" Yan Fugui said.
"Oh, he can't come and take the dried vegetables we have at home, right?" After saying that, the third aunt rushed out of the house.
Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui also rushed out.
When they got outside, Auntie checked herself and said, "Nothing is missing."
Yan Fugui said with a gloomy face: "You have to watch out tomorrow. I think the Jia family is up to something evil again."
The three aunts nodded when they heard this.
Jia Dongxu, who felt a little nervous because of Yan Fugui's stare in the front yard, came to the middle yard.
Jia Dongxu's eyes kept moving between Yi Zhonghai's house and Sha Zhu's house.
If we talk about being able to make food, these two are probably the only ones.
When Jia Dongxu was standing in the yard thinking about something, Bang Geng suddenly came out and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"Son, are you full?" Jia Dongxu asked.
"I'm full." Banggeng said.
"Dad will take you to an uncle's house. You can tell him you are not full later. Got it?" Jia Dongxu said.
"I understand." Banggeng understood it immediately after rolling his eyes.
Bang bang bang!
"Master, are you home?"
"Banggeng is here, come in quickly." Yi Zhonghai still likes Banggeng very much, after all he has no children.
"Master." Jia Dongxu greeted.
"Dongxu, have you eaten?" an old lady said when she saw that it was Jia Dongxu coming.
"I ate it." Jia Dongxu replied.
"Dad, I'm hungry." It's no wonder that Banggeng is a smart kid. He knows exactly what to say and when.
"What's going on?" Yi Zhonghai's face fell when he saw the situation.
"Master...there is really not enough food at home." Jia Dongxu said with difficulty.
"Look at you, why didn't you say it earlier? How about this, let the banggeng come to my house to eat starting tomorrow. What if the child starves and gets hurt?" Yi Zhonghai said with a stern face. He knew what was going on with the Jia family, but he didn't mention the matter of giving them food. Giving food would be worse than selling banggeng.
“Master, this…” Jia Dongxu was a little confused after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. This was different from what he thought.
Jia Dongxu was still confused when he saw the lady saying, "Hurry up and eat Banggeng. Come here for dinner tomorrow."
But before Jia Dongxu could understand what was going on or say anything else, he was sent out by Yi Zhonghai and his wife.
As for Banggeng, he doesn't care about those things, as long as he has something to eat.
