Siheyuan: Kick the deaf old lady to death with three kicks, it feels so good
Chapter 8 Compensation received, Pigeon City procurement
After seeing the commotion between the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to stay any longer and prepared to go home with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that the master was about to leave, Jia Zhang could no longer sit still and glared at Qin Huairu.
"Why are you still here? Why don't you go home and do your chores?"
Qin Huairu lowered her head in response, then pulled Banggeng and hurried home.
After ensuring that Qin Huairu returned home, Jia Zhang caught up with Yi Zhonghai.
"Uncle, uncle, why are you walking so fast?"
After a short jog, Jia Zhang finally caught up with Yi Zhonghai, gasping for breath.
"Yi Zhonghai, I'm telling you, you have to take care of this matter!"
"If you don't care, I'll tell you all the embarrassing things you did in the past."
Yi Zhonghai glanced around and made sure there was no one around before he growled at Jia Zhang.
"I already told you, I didn't touch you back then!"
"If you still want to continue making trouble, then I will accompany you. At worst, we will both be scolded by everyone."
Jia Zhang changed her original threat, threw a coquettish glance at Yi Zhonghai, and was ready to embrace Yi Zhonghai with her arm.
But he was immediately thrown away by Yi Zhonghai.
"Humph! Just say it, it was you who got drunk and broke into my room anyway."
"How could I not know whether you did it or not?"
"Chen Xiangdong, you have to pay the 20 yuan for me today. Otherwise, I will tell Dongxu everything. I want to see if Dongxu will still call you master after knowing this."
Yi Zhonghai sighed.
"Sister-in-law, I really didn't touch you back then."
"I can pay the 20 yuan for you today, but you are not allowed to use what happened back then to blackmail me again."
Jia Zhang was overjoyed when she heard this and kept patting her chest to make assurances.
"Uncle, don't worry about this."
........
Chen Xiangdong returned home and began to clean up the room.
It is winter now and the temperature is below 0.
The huge room was empty, with nothing in it except a table and two beds.
"No, it's so cold, we have to find a way to buy some coal to keep warm, otherwise, in this weather, sleeping at night will definitely cost us our lives."
“And the bedding in the house needs to be refurbished.”
When the north wind howled outside the window, you could clearly feel the air leaking into the house.
And I just touched the bedding. Not only was it hard, but it also felt a little damp.
From this, we can imagine how miserable the original owner and Youyou's life was.
If he hadn't traveled through time to the courtyard, it would have been difficult for the brother and sister to survive the winter.
"Brother, are you hungry? There's still half a bowl of noodles in the pot. If you're hungry, Youyou will heat it up for you."
"Brother is not hungry."
Chen Xiangdong rubbed Youyou's little head a few times with a doting look on his face.
Although he is young, he still knows how to care for others.
Even if there was only half a bowl of noodles left at home, I would think of leaving it for my brother.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Xiangdong opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the door with two big black tens in his hand.
At this time he had a wry smile on his face.
"Hey, isn't this Uncle Yi Zhonghai? How come you sent the money so quickly?"
Chen Xiangdong grabbed the two big black tens and stuffed them into his trouser pocket, then ordered them to leave.
"It's quite cold outside. Don't stand outside. Go home."
"Hey... Chen Xiangdong... don't..."
Yi Zhonghai had just finished speaking when Chen Xiangdong closed the door.
Yi Zhonghai's face was as ugly as it could be at this moment.
"You little brat, sooner or later you'll fall into my hands..."
With a cold snort, Yi Zhonghai turned and left.
.......
Inside the house, Chen Xiangdong walked up to Youyou and asked with his head down.
"Youyou, if we have money, what would you like to buy?"
Youyou opened her eyes wide, her pupils sparkling with anticipation.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly dimmed again.
He lowered his head and murmured.
"Mom and Dad are gone. Youyou knows they will never come back. Now I just hope that my brother and I can have two cornmeal steamed buns to eat every day. Drinking too much salt water will give me a stomachache..."
Hearing this, Chen Xiangdong felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He then picked up Youyou and opened the door.
"Youyou, brother will take you to buy food."
The 60s was a special era, and everyone knows the details, so I won’t say more.
Some things cannot be bought just by having money, you also need corresponding receipts.
Of course there are some places where tickets are not needed, that is the pigeon market.
As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.
All kinds of daily necessities, such as tables, benches, brooms and shovels, as long as they can be moved from home, are sold in the Pigeon Market.
The original owner had also been to Pigeon City and sold unused items at home in order to survive.
Relying on his memory, Chen Xiangdong brought Youyou to Pigeon City.
Although the north wind was howling in the cold winter, there were still many people in the Pigeon Market.
As soon as he arrived in Dove City, a man in a black cloak stood in front of Chen Xiangdong.
"Do you want small yellow croaker? The lowest price in 49 cities."
Chen Xiangdong was shocked. It was indeed a pigeon market. Someone dared to sell this thing. They were really brave.
You know, in this era, selling small yellow croaker privately is...
"I don't have money, I can't afford it."
As soon as Chen Xiangdong finished speaking, the man in the black cloak disappeared into the crowd.
Afterwards, Chen Xiangdong began to purchase supplies in Gezi City.
I bought 20 kilograms of coal for cents.
I didn't dare buy too much because I didn't have the means of transportation. If I bought too much, it would become a problem to take it back.
However, these 20 kilograms of coal will be enough for a few days.
Then I bought two new quilts at Pigeon Market, spending 18 yuan.
And it took Chen Xiangdong a lot of persuasion to cut it off.
Quilts are made by buying cotton yourself. One pound of cotton costs 6 yuan, and one foot of cloth costs 4 yuan. These two quilts are thick quilts with pounds of cotton.
It’s not a bad deal if you buy it for 18 yuan.
If the seller wasn't in urgent need of money and wasn't selling the quilt he had saved for his child's wedding, and even assured him that it was brand new and had never been used, I'm afraid it would be hard to buy it for 18 yuan.
Looking at the remaining 1.88 yuan in my hand, even in the 1960s, the money was not enough!!!
The remaining money was used to buy two pounds of pork, one pound of white flour, ten eggs, and some seasonings. The 20 yuan compensation from the Jia family was almost spent, and there was still 3 cents left to buy Youyou a candied haws.
Afterwards, Chen Xiangdong carried all the items on his shoulders, held the eggs in one hand, and held Youyou's little hand in the other, and rushed to the courtyard.
Youyou was holding a candied haws in her hand with a happy smile on her face.
"Brother, I heard that eggs can hatch chicks. Is that true?"
