Not long after, Qin Huairu came back, but she was unable to buy the meat.
"What's going on? Where's the meat?"
Seeing Qin Huairu coming back empty-handed, Jia Zhang's face turned ugly. Today was the happiest day in all these years. How could this daughter-in-law be so tactless that she couldn't even buy some meat.
"Mom, it's already afternoon, and there's no butcher in the market. I walked around a long way, and there wasn't a single butcher."
Qin Huairu also felt aggrieved. She also wanted to eat meat, but there was none in the market. What could she do?
"this..."
Jia Zhang didn't know what to say. After all, there was nothing to sell. Could she still blame Qin Huairu for not being able to buy it?
But Jia Zhang was also a smart person. She rolled her eyes and whispered, "Huai Ru, go to the steel mill and find Sha Zhu and see if he can get some meat out from the kitchen."
"ah?"
Qin Huairu was a little dumbfounded. Could things be done this way?
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to Mom. You can't go."
Just when I decided in my heart that I must not let Qin Huairu sacrifice her looks to get food in the future, Jia Zhang came up with this weird idea. How can I do this?
Just now when chatting with Jia Zhang, Jia Dongsheng already knew that Sha Zhu had been helping the Jia family after Jia Dongxu left. While helping, he looked at Qin Huairu with fiery eyes.
Jia Zhang was worried that Qin Huairu would lose control, so she kept reminding and suppressing Qin Huairu. She relied on Sha Zhu's help, but also had to be on guard against Sha Zhu. She was very worried.
"Mom, just make something to eat. I'll go out and see if I can get some meat tomorrow. I'll bring it back and cook it for you."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "In addition to learning medicine from my master over the years, I have also learned cooking. My cooking skills are now very good."
"Yeah, my son is amazing."
When Jia Zhang heard that Jia Dongsheng had this ability, she immediately laughed, her smile full of complacency. There was no other way. For her, nothing could make her happier than her son being capable and promising.
"Okay, then I'll just have one bite today."
Sighing, Jia Zhang turned her gaze towards Qin Huairu and said, "Give me the money and notes. You are so rude! What do you think you are going to swallow them all?"
"Mom, I didn't."
Hearing that Jia Zhang was framing her, Qin Huairu quickly raised her hand and said, "Mom, look, I've been holding on to this money and bills, just to bring them back for you."
After hearing Qin Huairu's explanation, Jia Zhang smiled and said, "That's pretty good. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."
"Um."
Qin Huairu nodded obediently, like a bullied young wife.
"Then go and cook. We still have a small piece of bacon at home. Let's stir-fry it with cabbage."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go cook."
Qin Huairu turned around and smiled at Jia Dongsheng, "Dongsheng, wait a moment. I'm going to cook."
As she spoke, Qin Huairu walked out of the inner room and went to the kitchen to busy herself.
This scene made Jia Dongsheng dumbfounded. The scene of the domineering old woman and the bullied young wife was really surprising. Can you see this in later generations?
"Mom, is it okay for my sister-in-law to cook with a big belly?"
Jia Dongsheng looked at Jia Zhang and said, "How about I go and cook?"
"You just got back, what are you going to cook? Your sister-in-law can do it herself. She cooks every day."
In Jia Zhang's eyes, what Qin Huairu did was what she should have done, after all, she had gone through the same thing in the past.
"Dongsheng, lie down and rest for a while, and keep an eye on the little one. I'm going to pick up your eldest nephew from school. When I get back, we'll have dinner together."
"After school?"
Jia Dongxu was surprised: "Mom, he came back with his classmates after school, why did you have to pick him up?"
"No, Banggeng is still too young. I'm worried. I still have to go pick him up."
Although it is important to spend time with my son, my eldest grandson is also very important. They are both my flesh and blood.
"Okay, go ahead."
Having said that, Jia Dongsheng still had a desire to correct Jia Zhang's idea. In this era, let alone going to school, even when children are younger, they are running all over the streets, running all day long. Which parent would care about them before mealtime?
Watching Jia Zhang leave the house, Jia Dongsheng sat on the kang, thinking about things.
In his memory, the original body came back this time mainly to take the whole family away and live in the five-courtyard quadrangle. This is why Jia Dongsheng did not bring any gifts when he came back.
But at this time Jia Dongsheng didn't want to do that.
The reason is very simple. It is now 60 years old. In another five or six years, the wind will become more and more intense, and then it will directly enter a ten-year period of wind. During this ten years, workers and farmers are the safest, and people in any other occupation may have to live in the cowshed.
The people living in this courtyard are all working-class families. It can be said that they can spend the next ten years in peace and stability by staying in this courtyard.
Xu Damao in the play was able to become the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, so he had no intention of leaving.
But if he didn't leave, he would have to live in the yard. But Jia Dongsheng looked around and saw that the Jia family only had one room with one kang. How could he live there?
Jia Zhang is my mother, so of course there is no problem, but what about Qin Huairu?
What's the point of living on the same kang with someone else every day?
So, the issue of housing should also be put on the agenda.
"How can we build another house in the yard?"
"No, it's not just a house, I have to get a job too."
"Workers and peasants, workers and peasants. I can't be a peasant anymore. I have to be a worker no matter what. At least I have to have a visible income."
He calculated things bit by bit, and then began to look for connections from his memory. The year before the old Chinese doctor left, he had indeed paved the way for Jia Dongsheng. Whether he continued to be a doctor or wanted to find a job, he had connections to solve the problem.
"That's him."
Suddenly, Jia Dongsheng thought of a person in his mind, and he was very familiar with this person. It was not because his original incarnation was familiar with the other person in this life, but because his original incarnation just knew him. It was the current Jia Dongsheng who was familiar with him.
Just because he is a character in a play, and coincidentally, he is also the deputy director of a steel rolling mill.
Li Huaide!
Li Huaide, deputy director of the Red Star Steel Mill, is a man of great ability. Ten years later, he became the head of the steel mill and the director of the Revolutionary Committee.
Normally, the fate of such a person after the wind stops would not be very good, but Li Huaide is an exception.
He was the deputy factory director before the boom, and the top boss when the boom started. When the boom stopped, his glory should have been over, but with the country's reform and opening up, this guy transformed himself into a businessman and is still doing well in the business world.
Following each other for more than ten years, he must have lived a stable life.
"That's settled. We need to find a time to go find each other."
Jia Dongsheng secretly made a decision in his heart, then stood up and wanted to go out to see Qin Huairu. He really couldn't sit still and let a pregnant woman cook.
