Chapter 205 Let Everyone Eat Better
Old Yuan looked at the pot of Chinese cabbage and said excitedly,
"Yes! There is vegetable soup, but there are not enough pakchoy. It's good to be able to drink it now. In two months, you won't be able to buy pakchoy here.
By the way, I think the plan you gave is pretty good. I will go to see Lao Deng after lunch this afternoon! He is in charge of this aspect. If he can pass it and the money is approved by the higher-ups, we can build a vegetable greenhouse. If I can grow vegetables freely in the future, I will stop eating fish. I have been eating it for many years. "
Su Jinxia laughed, "Is it that serious?"
Old Yuan took the large basin and went to the tap to get water. "Why not? In winter, there are not many vegetables, just potatoes, cabbage and salted fish. The amount of pork is limited, so we can't always put it in.
So I raised a few more pigs this year so I can have more meat in the winter."
Zhao Yue waited until he finished getting the water before saying, "I plan to host a banquet tomorrow and treat everyone to lunch at noon."
Old Yuan was stunned at first, but then he responded, "Okay, okay, just tell me what you want to do, and I'll contact someone to send over the ingredients you need."
Zhao Yue took out his wallet and said, "Pick out all the good meat ribs so that everyone can eat and drink well. How much do you think it will cost?"
"That's a lot of money, at least 200 yuan. You know we all can eat a lot. I'd say it's just about enough. The canteen has to provide meals for everyone." Old Yuan was worried that the young couple would spend too much money and end up spending more than they earned. What would they do if they had no money after the wedding?
"Then it's 300 yuan. It's up to you."
"Isn't this too much?" Old Yuan took the money handed to him.
Su Jinxia, "More is better than less."
Old Yuan looked at them and said, "That's fine. I'll keep the money first and return it to you if it's of no use to you.
On the other hand, everyone will give a share, which will help to get some of the money back.”
Zhao Yue didn't think about the gift, he just thought about spending money.
"Then I'll tell everyone not to follow too much."
"It's a favor between people, so let them do whatever they want! You should also give something back when the time comes, otherwise how can it be called a debt of favor?" Old Yuan was calculating in his mind how much money he would give.
Zhao Yue looked at Lao Yuan and said, "Master, let's agree that you won't give me too much money."
"Okay, I understand." Old Yuan agreed with a smile.
After finishing the canteen, they took a car out to buy things to decorate the house.
Zhou Zhu came to the door to change guard. He felt familiar with the little girl at first sight. Then he heard, "Brother-in-law!"
Only then did he dare to recognize that the little girl in front of him was Wu Guizhi.
"Zhizhi, how did you get here?"
Wu Guizhi looked at her brother-in-law's tall figure and couldn't help blushing.
"My sister sent me a telegram asking me to come over, so I came over."
"She asked you to come over?" Zhou Zhu frowned slightly. Things have been chaotic enough recently, and now his sister-in-law is here too.
It's such a busy day.
Liu Gang, "Send your sister-in-law back first, I'll stand for you for a while."
Zhou Zhu nodded, then picked up the luggage bag on the ground and led his sister-in-law towards the guesthouse.
The little girl who was just engaged when she got married has now grown into a big girl, which really surprised him.
Because he had no younger sister, when he married his wife, the little girl was still a child. She was very sweet-mouthed and kept calling her brother-in-law.
At that time, he thought it would be great if he could have a daughter.
As a result, he gave birth to three sons in a row, but never had the daughter he wanted. It seemed that he would never have a daughter in his life.
After entering the guesthouse, he began to worry about what had happened recently. He was afraid that his sister-in-law would think too much, so he stopped and said,
"I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead! Brother-in-law!" the little girl raised her face.
"Your sister and I have had some conflicts recently. The money and tickets in the family are managed by the eldest son, the eldest child. You don't need to get involved in this matter. Even if your sister cries to you, you don't need to pay attention to her.
Every family has its own problems, and you know why. "
Wu Guizhi understood instantly, because her sister had helped her eldest brother more than once, either with money or tickets, so that her eldest brother took it for granted.
As long as he meets someone, he can get benefits. If it were her, she would want it too.
Unlike her sister, she will have a family when she gets married, so how can she let herself live a bad life while helping others who are doing well?
In fact, my eldest brother lives a pretty good life. He now works in a brick factory and earns about 10 yuan a month. Even without my sister's help, he lives a good life.
But her family wouldn't let her tell her sister these words. As long as her sister came back, they would cry about their poverty, and then her sister would give them alms.
She knew that if this cycle continued, something bad would happen sooner or later.
"Brother-in-law, I understand. I won't say anything nonsense."
"That's good to know. I really didn't expect that you've grown up so much now!" Zhou Zhu looked at his sister-in-law. An 18-year-old girl is just beautiful.
Wu Guixiang walked over from a distance and saw her sister at a glance, then saw her husband. She looked at her sister straight, and neither of them spoke.
"What are you doing!?"
Zhou Zhu heard the voice and turned around, and saw several women following Wu Guixiang.
"What are you doing?"
"We are going to the office to report the problem. Your leader was allocated a house, and it is the best one, the one with an independent courtyard. It is said that the chief used to live there."
"Really?"
"I saw it with my own eyes. They also went to look at the house. Where are they now? I don't know. Anyway, I will take them to report the problem. We have been here for such a long time, but there is no sign of housing allocation. Why did they get a house first, and a house with a separate door and yard? This is not fair!"
"You are not allowed to go!" Zhou Zhu understood the twists and turns of the matter just by thinking with his toes.
Zhao Yue has been promoted very quickly in recent years, but he is not jealous at all, because it was earned with sweat and life.
He just wanted to stay in the army until he was discharged.
Because he can't do any other work and has been in the army for more than 10 years.
Wu Guixiang looked at the man and said, "Why can't I go? I just want a house. I've been here for such a long time. Do you know what kind of life I've been leading?"
Wu Guizhi came to her sister's side and said, "Sister, can we stop making trouble?"
"Children should not interrupt adults' affairs." When Wu Guixiang saw her sister coming, she started to make plans in her mind.
They are both 18-year-old girls. The younger sister is beautiful and can be said to be the most beautiful girl in the village. A matchmaker came to their house last year.
Because the betrothal gift was not much, my family did not agree.
Otherwise, we would have gotten married this year. Thinking of Su Jinxia, she is just a little prettier, and my sister is not bad either.
Zhou Zhu was afraid that things would get out of hand and he would have to leave the army, he said to the women.
"Our family will not get involved in this matter. If you don't want to do something, do it yourself!"
The women looked at each other in bewilderment. Without Wu Guixiang's leadership, they would not dare to lead the group there.
