Siheyuan: The final winner

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's better this way, I can cook by myself."

"You can take some white flour, cornmeal, vegetables, lard and seasonings from my kitchen later!"

He Yushui didn't refuse, it was agreed before, to give her nutrition.

"Okay, I'll pick some when I leave."

He Yushui walked to the edge of the Kang and sat down and said.

"Are you going to take a nap now?"

"It smells so strong, Xu Damao persuaded you to drink again?"

Jiang Pingan lifted a corner of the quilt and said with a smile:

"Come up quickly, the kang is warm, let's talk for a while."

He Yushui smiled shyly and nodded silently.

After rustling for a while, I got into the bed...

……

After He Yushui left, Jiang Ping'an slept until after three o'clock before waking up.

There's no need to go out today. I'll see Wen Li and the others next Sunday.

After washing up, he came to hang out in the yard.

I saw some people basking in the sun in the courtyard, all looking listless.

After thinking about it, he instantly understood that these people were all because they were not full.

It is estimated that it will be a few days during the Chinese New Year, but I have eaten my energy, and I will start saving food now.

Nowadays, there is less oil and water in the meals, and people's appetite has naturally increased, and most of the rations at home are not enough.

This is the case in this era, even if you have money, you can't buy more food.

Speaking of which, the people in the courtyard are really not poor.

Most of them are rolling mill workers.

The monthly salary of ordinary workers is about 30 yuan to 50 yuan.

It seems that the income of Yan Bugui's family is less, his monthly salary is only 27 yuan.

With so much money, if you don't do rations and don't need food stamps, you can buy a lot of food.

Therefore, the people in the courtyard are really poor.

The reason why it looks poor is because there is a ration of supplies stuck there.

The really poor cannot be denied food just because they are rich.

When they came to the middle courtyard, they saw three uncles whispering something in front of Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Come here safely, we're talking about you!" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan walked over and asked in confusion, "Speaking of me? What's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai pondered and said: "The thing is like this."

"A few days ago during Chinese New Year, I probably ate a lot."

"As a result, the food for most households will not last until the end of the month."

"So, the three of us have a discussion."

"See if you can help me think of a way to exchange some sweet potatoes with whole grains."

Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Why do you ask me for this?"

"Whoever wants to change sweet potatoes, can't they just use stick noodles instead?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and sighed, "The key is that there are no sweet potatoes on the market right now."

"Today, the three of us went out to have a look. The sweet potato has already been replaced."

Yan Bugui answered, "Just a few days ago, it was quite easy to exchange stick noodles for sweet potatoes a few years ago."

1 Chapter Ninety

"A meeting! A meeting!"

"All the residents of the hospital, send one person from each family to the middle courtyard for a meeting!"

"If the family is short of food, the three uncles asked Section Chief Jiang for help!"

"..."

The originally quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

Liu Haizhong and several boys from Yan Bugui's family notified them door by door.

After a while, all gathered in the courtyard.

"It's all here!"

Liu Guangqi, who was in charge of counting the number of people, said to the three uncles.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said:

"Although there are only three days off for Chinese New Year."

"But a lot of people think it's just a few days."

"So I opened my stomach and ate."

"Is it all right now? Go back and count the food."

"A lot of families won't be able to survive until the end of the month."

"Actually, it's not just in our courtyard. If this happens, it's similar in other places."

"Today, the three of us went out to see it in person."

"There are basically no sweet potatoes on the market."

"Even if there is, it's not our turn."

"As for when the supply will resume, it is still uncertain."

"So let's ask Ping An to help change some. There is food in hand, so don't panic!"

"If you are willing to exchange stick noodles for sweet potatoes, come and register."

"Ping An Ren Yi, willing to help everyone, just change according to the usual standard."

"One catty of cornmeal is exchanged for five catties of sweet potatoes."

"What you need at home, you can do what you can in exchange for it."

Then, he looked at Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Pingan nodded, took a step forward, and said with a smile:

"Let's talk about it first, change it once a month."

"There is no limit to the number, you decide for yourself."

"Don't change them all, sweet potatoes are the most filling."

"Eating too much but being flatulence, I think everyone knows."

"Liu Guangqi, you are in charge of statistics, Yan Jiefang, you are in charge of weighing."

Everyone got the order and immediately got to work.

Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiefang happily went home to get their notebooks and scales.

The other residents, making a lot of noise, also went home immediately to get food.

It is normal to exchange one catty of cornmeal for five catties of sweet potatoes.

Jiang Pingan didn't cheat them, so no one was dissatisfied.

Instead, I extended a helping hand to him and felt grateful.

Soon, everyone took the food and came to line up.

"Jiang Laowu's family, ten catties of stick noodles for fifty catties of sweet potatoes."

"Tie Zhuzi's house, ten catties of stick noodles for fifty catties of sweet potatoes."

"He Yuzhu's house, six catties of stick noodles for thirty catties of sweet potatoes."

"..."

Yan Jiefang would announce it loudly every time he weighed it.

"Silly Zhu, your family is also short of food?"

Jiang Pingan stared at the side and asked in doubt.

Before He Yuzhu could reply, Jia Zhang jumped up and said:

"That's the food my family borrowed from him, and I'll pay him back later."

The elders glanced at He Yuzhu and then at Jia Zhangshi, all of them frowned.

At this time, He Yushui stepped forward and asked:

"Brother, you exchanged the food and lent it to Jia's family, what shall we eat in the future?"

He Yuzhu faltered and said: "Jia has a lot of family members, so I help him once in a while."

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Jiang Pingan: "Could it be that I can't change?"

"Change, no one will change it for you!" Jiang Pingan gave him a blank look.

Turning around and smiling at He Yushui again: "Yushui, anyway, your rations are with me."

"From now on, you can get food from me, don't count on him."

He Yushui nodded, then looked at He Yuzhu coldly, and said:

"Fortunately, Brother Ping'an is taking care of me in the yard, otherwise I would be hungry again!"

"I've been so hungry since I was a child, don't call me my brother in the future!"

With that said, he turned and went back to the room.

He Yuzhu's face darkened in an instant, and he couldn't get over it, and he didn't dare to provoke Jiang Ping'an.

So after registering, I couldn't wait to leave.

It's Jia Zhang, who is smiling happily beside him.

Qin Huairu who was standing by the door pursed her lips and sighed secretly.

When Liu Haizhong was about to speak, Yi Zhonghai pulled his arm and shook his head secretly.

So he stuck his breath in his throat, couldn't go up, couldn't go down, and stopped talking.

Jiang Ping'an didn't chase him either.

Take this opportunity to let Da Daer know that He Yushui will just eat his food in the future.

In case He Yushui eats him, others don't know the situation and cause misunderstandings.

Just now he interrupted to ask He Yuzhu, the main purpose was here.

Soon, more than 20 households received all the food that needed to be replaced, and the statistics were completed.

A total of 540 catties of stick noodles were collected.

Families with fewer people exchanged five or six catties, and families with many people exchanged up to thirty catties.

After all, sweet potatoes are not a staple food, they can be used to fill in the food gap, and eating too much is not easy to digest.

"Thank you, Chief Jiang, you have helped my family a lot this time!"

"Chief Jiang is benevolent and trustworthy at critical moments."

"Fortunately, there is Section Chief Jiang in our yard, otherwise we would be hungry."
