Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

When these words were spoken, not only was Chen Jianghe confused, but even Yan Bugui almost jumped up.

"What do you mean, Shazhu?" Yan Bugui hurried forward and asked.

This is unbelievable. Chen Jianghe just won the award a few days ago, and I don’t see him hanging out in the steel mill every day. How come there is news that he won another award?

Several middle-aged women who were looking after children in the front yard came over when they saw how lively it was here.

"Hey! You don't know yet?"

Sha Zhu was not in a hurry to leave. Now it was his turn to be the handsome guy in the crowd.

"Chen Jianghe, did you submit two inventions last time?"

"They are two types, but they are essentially the same thing, just suitable for different groups of people."

Chen Jianghe also remembered that the simple razor suitable for Chinese people had passed the review and was being put into production.

Later, there seemed to be no news about the special razor for bearded men. Could that be the case?

"Yes! It was that time when the factory broadcast that the thing you invented could be exported to earn foreign exchange, and that a factory would be officially established to start production!"

When Sha Zhu talked about other people's glorious deeds, he felt envious but also proud of it. This was the honor of the entire compound!

"Shazhu, what award did Chen Jianghe win this time?"

An auntie asked, since I had received 100 yuan and food coupons last time, the amount I received this time can’t be that high.

"The reward is the same as last time! One hundred yuan plus eighty kilograms of food coupons. I guess Sister Lou will bring it back after get off work."

Sha Zhu glanced at Chen Jianghe's bicycle and couldn't help but:

"Chen Jianghe, you said you don't have to go to work now, and Sister Lou runs back and forth every day, why don't you let others ride this bicycle to earn money?"

This time Chen Jianghe didn't need to say anything, Yan Bugui directly added a stab:

"Other people don't work, but I go out for a run every day. If I run far, it would be much more convenient to have a bicycle."

He also wanted to buy a bicycle, but he didn't have a bicycle ticket. Nowadays, bicycle tickets are hard currency and ordinary people can't get them.

I really admire Chen Jianghe for buying the bicycle a few years ago. It shows that other people have a certain level of ability to spend money.

Now the Chen family is living better and better.

"The Third Master is right."

Don’t say this again in the future. This is not a humane way and others will misunderstand you.

Chen Jianghe has already received 130 yuan from Qianmen Street today, and another 100 yuan will be deposited into his account soon.

Oh, and there is also his and Lou Xiao'e's wages of 28.2 yuan. After deducting the house payment of 120 yuan, there is still 138.2 yuan left.

It's beautiful, and this is how life should be lived.

However, to the outside world, he still prefers to tighten his belt.

"My relatives in my hometown wrote to me saying that the harvest this year was bad and there is famine. This little money thrown in is not enough to make a splash."

As soon as Chen Jianghe said this, the aunties who were still talking about it suddenly calmed down.

Nowadays, every family has a few relatives from the countryside.

It is true that several families have received letters asking for help, but now everyone is tightening their belts and there is no extra food to give to others.

I could only scrape together some food and send it over to get rid of it.

"What Chen Jianghe said is right. I also received a letter from my hometown. They said that they didn't have enough food this year and their children are almost big-headed."

"Your case is still good. My parents wrote to us saying that people in other villages have starved to death, and they asked us to gather some money as soon as possible."

"..."

Now, the topic originally centered around the Chen family was diverted again.

But there are also people who react quickly. How could Chen Jianghe be so willing to spend more than 100 yuan to help his relatives? There must be some left.

When I saw what was on other people's handlebars, I immediately understood.

If you don't live like this, it would be strange if you have any money left.

No matter how rich my father-in-law is, you can't let him build as much as he wants.

The Chen family’s hard times are yet to come!

After everyone left with their own thoughts, Chen Jianghe walked in and asked:

"Mom, is there any letter from our family today?"

Chen's mother has already assigned homework to Xiao Duoduo. It's called homework, but in fact it's just drawing flowers and grass.

Little kids can't write anything except the horizontal numbers one, two, three and the vertical number 1.

"No, what's wrong?"

When Chen's mother heard her son ask this, she just thought he was concerned about the affairs of Zhaojiazhuang and didn't think much about it.

"I went to the Qianmen Street Office today. Seeing that I was good at math, they gave me a chance to earn extra money.

I take one day every month to check the accounts with the street office, and the salary is five yuan.

Besides, I also went to see our three-courtyard compound. The compound taken care of by Mr. Guan is very nice. I will thank him later.

Also, I figured since our yard is still nominally rented out, we might as well make it real."

Chen Jianghe washed his face and sat on the sofa to look at what Duoduo was drawing.

The flowers drawn by the children are all sunflowers, and the grass are all four-leaf clovers. That’s nice, and the meaning is good.

"I can go to Uncle Guan's place, but you said that the fake play has become real. Our family is not short of money now, so there is no need to let others live in."

When Chen's mother heard her son tell her that he only earned five yuan a month, she thought it was too little at first, but then she thought about it and realized that it was a whole day's work!

Workers in the factory only earn one yuan a day, and my son, who only has a junior high school education, can earn five yuan, which is not bad.

As for renting out the house, she really had no such idea, otherwise she would not have asked Uncle Guan to find a way.

"You heard that after you finished talking, you received a letter from your second uncle.

I think these natural disasters and man-made disasters are not things that can be solved in a short period of time.

Even if the weather is good next year, it will take half a year for the crops to mature. What should I do with my second and third uncles during this period?

You can’t always eat at our house.”

Chen Jianghe analyzed the situation for his mother.

With his strength, he is not afraid of being eaten by others.

Rather, people may have attended some classes in their previous lives and have some understanding of this period in history.

This matter will not be completed until three years have passed.

If only one of these two things, natural disasters or man-made disasters, occurs, people can breathe a sigh of relief.

But it happened at the same time!

Where can I go to reason?

Just look at Chen Jianghe who can only use a large enameled pot to cook when he goes to Zhaojiazhuang, and you will know that the Zhao family has a long way to go to achieve food and clothing.

"You mean to let them move to the city? But the employment problem is not easy to solve right now."

There were already many unemployed people in the old city, and it was even more difficult for outsiders, especially those who had little education.

“That’s better than just staring.

Uncle Zhao's second and third uncle don't have any other relatives, and we don't have many people, so when we come here we can just ask them to help take care of the house.

Our house has just been renovated and we can’t move out for a while, so we can’t be without people over there.”

Chen Jianghe thought that if people came first, it would be easier for him to provide assistance, as it would cost him money to send them through the post office.

People can't just sit there and do nothing, they can help with cleaning and other things to add some liveliness to the place.

I can try to find a suitable job later. If that doesn't work, I can sweep the streets, do hard labor, serve dishes, or wash dishes...

There are far more opportunities in the city than in the countryside.

"Okay, write a letter and mail it to them, asking your uncle to get a letter of introduction. They have never been far away from home, so they don't know what to do."

The relationship between the Zhao family and their family is not actually close, but because of Xiao Duoduo, they are not distant either.

Chen's mother also secretly sent some food coupons and money. It wasn't much, but it was a token of her appreciation.

After all, others often helped her in the past.
