"Hey, look at your rosy face. It seems like your wife is nourishing you so much." As soon as the two met, Chu Heng started to get angry.
The two of them have always behaved like this. They don't exchange a few words with each other when they meet, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Guo Kai came today to ask for help and did not answer any questions. He glanced at his brother who was busy not far away, gestured to Chu Heng, turned around and walked out of the shop: "Let's talk outside."
As soon as he saw this posture, Chu Heng knew that something was wrong and hurriedly followed him out.
The two brothers came to the door and stopped under the window. Guo Kai took out a cigarette and threw one over. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Um...is your family still rich in food? Can you sell me some?"
His daughter-in-law has a rural registered permanent residence and does not have a food ration, and the children she will give birth to in the future will also have a rural registered permanent residence.
So in order not to burden the family and avoid conflicts with his siblings in the future, he moved out with his wife and lived alone after getting married, leaving the burden to be shouldered by himself.
In the past, it was easy to say that if he didn't have enough food, he could buy it on the black market. Although his life was not rich, he was still living well. But since the pigeon market stopped some time ago, he has no place to buy food, so he can only buy it from his friends and his landlord.
Originally, he didn't want to come to Chu Heng. After all, he had helped him so much before, and he might not be able to repay the favor in this life. How could he have the nerve to trouble him again?
Guo Kai really has no choice.
He didn't have many friends, and the world was in a bad state, so there were even fewer people who could borrow or sell food. He scraped together several houses here and there, but the food he got wasn't enough to last him and his wife until next month.
He couldn't open his mouth at home, so he had to bite the bullet and come to Chu Heng.
Chu Heng naturally knew the situation of Guo Kaijia, plus he was not short of food, and the two of them had a close friendship on the battlefield, so he didn't even hesitate and said immediately: "What the hell can't be sold?
Just tell me how much it is, and I'll take it to you right now, and you can return it when you have it."
It is said that it is borrowing, but in fact it is almost the same as giving. In the case of Guo Aizi's family, if they want to achieve food freedom, they can't even think about it for more than ten years.
Now his family only has a rural registered permanent residence, which is better. If you wait a few years to have another child, then you will have another child, and the hard times will be behind you!
Guo Kai also understood what Chu Heng meant, but he didn't want to take advantage of this. He shook his head stubbornly: "I won't borrow it, and I can't pay it back. If you want more, you can sell me ten kilograms of coarse grains. If it's not enough, you can get three to five kilograms."
"You're a fool, I won't take any advantage I give you." Chu Heng suddenly rolled his eyes, raised his hand and punched him hard, wiped himself away and pushed the bicycle, and said to him angrily: "Hurry up and leave.
, I’ll get it for you.”
"If you change things, I won't be polite." Guo Kai grinned and jumped into the back seat: "Let's go."
Chu Heng turned back to look at him and asked doubtfully: "No, where is your car?"
"Sold." Guo Kai said with a relaxed face.
Chu Heng smacked his lips, said nothing, stepped on the car, and quickly left the grain store.
To be honest, he admires Guo Kai now.
After experiencing such and such things, he did not blame others or escape, but actively worked hard to change and take responsibility.
This is what you call a man!
After a while, the two of them arrived at the courtyard.
After opening the door and entering the house, Chu Heng went directly to the rice vat. He did not bring any fine grains, but took out all the coarse grains such as stick noodles, sweet potatoes, and sorghum rice. Each piece weighed more than twenty kilograms.
Guo Kai didn't know that he didn't lack this. He thought he was saving food to help himself, so he waved his hand hastily: "There's no need for this, just take ten catties."
"Why are you acting like a bitch? You can just hold it. How can I, a grain seller, be short of this food?" Chu Heng glared at him and stuffed several bags of grain into his hands.
, thought for a while and then said: "If you count two cents per catty, these are estimated to be twenty. You can pay four yuan. If it is more, you will make a profit, and if it is less, you will lose."
"That's not possible. The pigeon market last month was only 28 cents. Now it's even more expensive. I'll give you 30 cents." Guo Kai didn't want him to suffer a loss, so he put down his things, took out his money, and counted out six yuan for him.
Well, being poor has a lot of backbone.
Chu Heng didn't want to argue with him over this matter, so he took the money and pocketed it.
The two of them drank tea and chatted for a while in the room, and left the courtyard at about one o'clock.
Chu Heng first took Guo Kai back by bicycle, then turned around and ran home again to replenish the sold noodles before returning to the grain store.
It’s not enough to make up for it. His family doesn’t actually have much food on the surface. After eating two people’s rations in a month, it would be good to have five kilograms of grain left. If he really sells twenty kilograms of coarse grains, Ni Yinghong
You dare not let him go to bed for a month!
When he saw Ni Yinghong at work, Chu Heng hurriedly reported the situation to the shopkeeper. He briefly talked about Guo Kai's purchase of grain with reservations, only talking about the sweet potatoes and sorghum rice he had brought, but not a word about the stick noodles.
Miss Xiao Ni has always been reasonable. When she heard that it was so difficult for Guo to open a family and that the food provided was completely within her budget, she didn't say much. She even complained that the man didn't bring him some stick noodles.
This made Chu Heng sigh again.
If you marry a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?
I must add an extra hour in the evening to reward this virtuous wife.
…
In the evening, not long after the couple returned home, Xu Damao came over and asked Director Chu to move to the backyard.
Chu Heng, who didn't really want to go, washed his face and changed clothes, and cleaned up for a while before following him out. As he walked, he kept mumbling: "Brother Damao, why are you bothering with this?
If you have something to say, just say it."
"With the relationship between us two brothers, we don't have to do this." Xu Damao said with a smile on his face, holding his hands slightly flatteringly: "It's been a while since we've had a drink. I just want to take this opportunity to talk to you today.
Have a good drink, because you, the leader, are such a busy man that it would be difficult to make an appointment with you."
Be busy daddy!
Chu Heng rolled his eyelids several times and wanted to spit in his face.
What the hell, you should be more reliable in your nonsense. I lie down at home every night. Which of your eyes can see that I am busy?
The two of them talked nonsense all the way and soon arrived at the backyard.
Lou Xiao'e knew that Chu Heng was coming today, so she dressed herself up specially, washed her hair, applied powder, and put on new clothes. She looked fragrant and beautiful.
It's a pity that someone didn't notice her change.
"Sister-in-law is also at home." Chu Heng entered the room and greeted her, then turned his attention to the dishes on the Eight Immortals' table, and immediately had the idea of running away.
Look at those dishes!
Roast duck, braised pork with fermented bean curd, it's like honey, chicken wrapped in vegetables, all the hard vegetables, none of them are cheap.
With this configuration, can what I want to talk about today be small?
