NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9 9. Reconciliation (2)
Xu Damao rubbed his belly and endured the anger.
Xu Damao was so angry that he had to argue with this dog's temper.
Xu Damao said: "When I ran in front of you and laughed at your father for running away, do you think my father would tell me this gossip? Or do you think I could know about it in school?"
Silly Zhu glared again, and Xu Damao raised his wine glass to invite him for a drink, and then said: "The two of us must have been plotted by someone at that time. As for who it was, it's been so long that I can't remember it now."
Xu Damao paused and said, "That's not what I'm talking to you about today. What I want to tell you is about Uncle Qing."
"Xu Damao, are you looking for a beating?" Silly Zhu became angry again.
Now even Yuyu turned his attention to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao ignored the reaction of the brothers and sisters, picked up a peanut and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted really good.
Then he said slowly: "I met a post office man when I was drinking with friends some time ago. He mentioned it to me and said that he had seen several letters and remittances sent from Baoding, all from our yard. Yes, ask me who in our yard has relatives in Baoding."
"You mean, my father once sent money?" Yuyu exclaimed in a low voice from the side, looking at Silly Zhu unconsciously.
Silly Zhu suppressed his blush and said in a low voice: "What? Do you think that if He Daqing sends money back, I will hide it from you? I have never received it. I guess the postman was talking about someone else."
Xu Damao smiled and said: "Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone in the yard having relatives in Baoding who send money every month. Rainwater, have you heard of it?"
Yuyu shook his head, and Shazhu fell silent.
Xu Damao said again: "You still have to ask Uncle Daqing about this matter."
Silly Zhu's eyes were red, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Why are you looking for him? He locked me and Yuyu out and didn't let me enter his house. I don't recognize him anymore, and just think that Yuyu and I have no fathers." A motherless child.”
"But how did I hear that it was the White Widow who prevented you and Yuyu from entering?" Xu Damao asked.
"Is there any difference?" Silly Zhu said in a muffled voice.
"What if my uncle Qing didn't know that you went to Baoding to find him?" Xu Damao said quietly.
"It's definitely impossible to expect you to do this. We need Yuyu to come forward and ask clearly. Yuyu, do you know which factory your father works in in Baoding?" Xu Damao said again.
Yu Yu couldn't care less about eating at this time, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's the agricultural machinery repair shop in Baoding."
Xu Damao said: "Yu Yu, you will write a letter later and ask your father why he has ignored you all these years?
Not a single letter came, not a dime of money was sent. Ask your father to return to school when he replies to you, or send it to the steel rolling mill.
We will investigate this matter clearly and ask your father to really ignore you and look to you to support him in his old age, and you will have your say.
I have to take care of you, and you brothers and sisters should also know what went wrong. "
Xu Damao didn't say who was causing trouble in the yard, but his meaning was clear.
With Silly Zhu, who has not yet been entangled by the widow, and Yu Yu, who is always pretending to be stupid, he naturally understands the meaning of Xu Damao's words. ~There are bad people in the yard!
Naturally, tonight's meeting can't be held. Even if Yi Zhonghai walked away from Lao Er Lao San's house with drinks, it still wouldn't make sense.
Judging from the original drama and reality, it is indeed impossible to agree.
Let’s talk about Yan Bugui’s family first. Yan Bugui’s ration is 32 kilograms. According to % of fine grain, it is less than ten kilograms of fine grain.
The third aunt weighs about 27 pounds, and the children weigh 24 pounds.
It’s more difficult now, so every household’s ration has been reduced.
When it comes to having a big pot of rice together, on the surface it seems that the Yan family is taking advantage, but in fact they are not.
The reason is that the neighbors in the yard are all families with several children. There is not much entertainment at night these days, and there is nothing else to do besides giving birth.
Judging from the Yan family's ration of nearly 150 kilograms, it is naturally not enough, but Yan Bugui has a way to trade fine grains for coarse grains, plus other things, such as fishing, etc., which can also keep the family full.
What's the difference between eating and drinking from a big pot?
The neighbors in other courtyards are all the same, they have some food, they focus on the labor force at home first, and the rest are children.
The saying that you leave the good things to your children and starve yourself is a bit like a saintly mother.
How can we earn money to support our family if our labor force doesn’t even have enough to eat? If the family's labor force really fails, the whole family will be doomed.
But it's different if you want to eat from a big pot. Naturally, you eat desperately at first, but then you don't have to eat.
With Yan Bugui's mind, he couldn't see the twists and turns inside.
Who is better off eating from a big pot? The Jia family has a good deal, and Jia Dongxu has a ration for the Jia family. It is naturally not enough to support a family of five with one person's ration. Critically these days, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.
Asking Yi Zhonghai to subsidize the Jia family made him feel sick again. Besides, again, money can’t buy you anything.
That's why Yi Zhonghai came up with the idea of eating from a big pot.
In this way, the three uncles can gain fame. Regardless of whether it's cost-effective or not, we'll have to figure out where to find subsidies when the time comes.
It's nothing more than exchanging fine grain for coarse grain and taking advantage of a few wealthy households. That's why Yan Bugui reminded Xu Damao to pay attention when he entered the hospital.
What to pay attention to? Naturally, if you don't stand out, you will be easily targeted.
As for the He family's unlucky situation, Yan Bugui really doesn't care.
Every family has its own connections. If everyone eats from the big pot, it is natural for the three uncles to take the lead and hand over the connections to each family.
If there are a few selfish people among them, taking advantage of other people's connections and looking for supplementary ones but not making any connections, then it's not obvious that they are suffering a loss.
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong couldn't break into someone's home to see if they had any food left.
In the past, it was because of Yi Zhonghai's strength, his habit of moral kidnapping, and the promise of other benefits. That's why the second and third sons will listen to the boss. Now that the boss has stepped down, if you still want to show off as the boss, who will pay attention to you?
Everything can be made big or small, and small things can be made big.
If you take a newspaper to the toilet, you may get in, just because there is a picture of someone on it, let alone anything else.
In fact, it is really unnecessary to describe the courtyard house as dangerous as the Devil's Pond.
Even if they are a group of weird people gathered together, no matter how talented they are and how many people they know, they won't live in a large courtyard.
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he only had two guesses. One was to hide it from the people in the yard, including the Yi family.
The second is to ask Yuyu to ask He Daqing clearly in the name of living expenses.
Finally Xu Damao said: "It really doesn't work, Silly Zhu, please take Yuyu there. If you don't want to come forward, let Yuyu have the say.
I think no matter how cruel Uncle Qing is, he can't just ignore him.
If he was that kind of person, wouldn't it be better to just ignore your brother and sister's life and death when your mother died? "
