Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu
Chapter 314 Regret
Jia Xudong returned home with food. Qin Huairu, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly startled by a rapid and loud knock on the window. She opened her eyes suddenly. Her heart instantly rose to her throat. She nervously whispered, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Huairu." A low and slightly tired voice came into the room.
Qin Huairu was relieved when she heard this familiar voice. It turned out that it was her husband Jia Xudong who came back. She quickly got out of bed, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, then hurriedly got off the kang, walked quickly to the door, gently pulled the bolt and opened the door a crack. After Jia Xudong flashed into the room, Qin Huairu quickly closed the door and carefully inserted the bolt, then turned to face her husband, her eyes full of concern, and asked softly: "Xudong, is everything going well tonight?"
Jia Xudong sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Alas! I did buy the grain, but the price has increased by 1 cents per catty compared to last time." As he spoke, he rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, his face full of worry.
When Qin Huairu heard this, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Ah, why did the price go up again? If it keeps going up like this, our family will soon not even have enough to eat." Her beautiful big eyes were filled with worry and fear, as if she saw the difficulties and obstacles in future life.
Jia Xudong was silent for a moment, then comforted his wife, "Don't worry, Huairu. The price of food in Pigeon City should not rise too much. After all, if the increase is too large, the country will definitely take measures to intervene. Let's see the situation first." However, he actually had no idea when this price increase trend would stop.
Qin Huairu bit her lip and said with deep regret, "If only I had insisted on moving my household registration from my hometown to the city, our family wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now." After saying that, she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
Jia Xudong quickly went forward to hug his wife, patted her shoulders gently, and comforted her: "Huai Ru, this is not your fault. It was our mother who firmly disagreed with your moving your household registration here. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. Don't worry, no matter what, I will try my best to find a way for our family to live a good life. Well, it's getting late, go to bed quickly."
After listening to Jia Xudong's words, Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, suppressed her inner sadness, and said, "Xudong, go to sleep first. You still have to go to work tomorrow. I'll go put the food away."
"Okay, then hurry up." After saying that, Jia Xudong yawned and walked into the inner room.
The next morning at the Jia family's dinner table, Jia Zhang looked at the sleepy Jia Xudong and asked, "Xudong, how was your day last night?"
"Oh, don't mention it. The price of cornmeal has gone up again. I just went to the Pigeon Market last night and asked a grain seller. He said it was 1 yuan per pound. So I walked around the Pigeon Market to see if I could buy cheaper ones. But when I walked around and came back to his stall, the price had gone up by another 1 cent per pound. If this continues, our family can't just eat cornmeal. We have to buy some grains to make do."
"Ah, they dared to raise the price by a penny in a short while. Such speculators deserve to be damned. The government should arrest and execute them all. They are making money from the national disaster." Jia Zhang said viciously.
"Okay, Mom, you just need to say this at home. Don't spread any rumors outside. Those people are ruthless. If they accidentally hear it, they will probably cause trouble for our family." Jia Xudong was afraid that his mother would spread rumors outside, so he hurriedly reminded her.
Jia Zhang immediately shrank her neck and subconsciously looked out the window. After confirming that there was no one outside the window, she carefully patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Xudong. I just said a few words at home. I dare not say a word outside the house."
Perhaps because He Yuzhu became a cadre in this life, there have been basically no general meetings in the No. 95 courtyard, especially after He Yuzhu became the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Plant. Except for the street office that publicized the superior policies and convened the residents of the courtyard to hold policy interpretation meetings, the three uncles in charge have never convened a courtyard meeting. It seems that He Yuzhu's identity as a cadre can still suppress demons and monsters.
When the government announced a reduction in the monthly quota for urban residents, He Yuzhu immediately rode his bicycle towards Daqianmen after get off work. He wanted to visit his cousin Cai Quanwu's home to see if his family was affected.
He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the door of the tavern and looked inside through the glass on the door. The tavern, which usually had people drinking, had no customers at this time. Then He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the house behind the tavern where Cai Quanwu lived.
He Yuzhu patted the gate of the courtyard a few times. Su Shaoan heard the noise in the house and walked into the courtyard and asked, "Who is it?"
"Shaoan, it's me."
When Su Shaoan heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door, his heart was moved. It was He Yuzhu's voice. He hurried to the door of the courtyard, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Director He, why are you here?"
He Yuzhu looked at Su Shaoan, who was smiling, and waved his hand, smiling and responding: "Shaoan, we are not in the factory now, and we have already gotten off work, so don't call me the factory director anymore. Just call me Zhuzi. According to seniority, I should respectfully call you cousin! Besides, this is my cousin's house, why can't I come!"
Su Shaoan touched his head and said cheerfully: "Oh, please don't call me that, I can't stand it! Just call me Shaoan, it sounds better and I feel comfortable. And I will naturally call you Director He, so that we can both feel more comfortable." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shaoan turned his head and shouted towards the kitchen in the house: "Sister, my brother-in-law's nephew is coming!"
At this time, Su Xiulian, who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, heard her brother's call, and quickly put down her work and hurried out of the kitchen. With a smile on her face and a kind look in her eyes, she said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you are here! Have you eaten yet? If not, just have something to eat here!"
He Yuzhu shook his head repeatedly and declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, aunt, but please don't bother me. I came here mainly to discuss some things with my uncle. After we finish discussing these things, I have to hurry home to make dinner for Xiao'e!"
Su Xiulian turned around and said to Su Shaoan who was standing beside her anxiously, "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Go to the front and call your brother-in-law back!"
Su Shaoan ran out of the yard swiftly. After Su Shaoan walked out of the door, Su Xiulian continued, "Zhu Zi, please come in and sit down first. I'm still cooking in the kitchen, so I won't greet you." After that, Su Xiulian hurried to the kitchen again.
