Siheyuan: When I became the control group of Qin Huairu

Chapter 72: Things with a legitimate origin

Now that he has such a good opportunity, if he misses it, who knows how much his brother Xiao Sheng will regret it in the future.

And just as my brother Xiao Sheng said just now, the requirements for joining the army are very harsh now. Not only is being sixteen years old a hard requirement, but there must also be a quota.

But compared to being a formal worker in a factory, this is even more difficult to get.

When they first came to the city, they also looked for jobs, but apart from some odd jobs like temporary workers, they didn't get any formal jobs at all.

Moreover, the minimum age for recruitment is 18 years old. (I didn't find this when I searched for information, so this is the setting in this book!)

So I didn't continue looking for it.

And just like his brother Xiao Sheng said, if I changed my age because of the job at the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu would definitely cause trouble.

My sister-in-law Yang Hehua is so good to them, we cannot make a choice that is disadvantageous to her.

Xiao Qian took a deep breath and stopped crying. She wiped the tears from her face with her hands: "Brother... I understand. I don't object to your choice. If you go to the army, remember to send a letter home."

"Okay!" Xiao Sheng smiled when he saw that his sister Xiao Qian understood. He stretched out his right hand and touched her head: "Qian Qian, when your brother is not at home in the future, remember to listen to your sister-in-law. Anyway, remember, without your sister-in-law, we would not be here today. And don't you still have to learn how to cook from your sister-in-law? Whether you use this skill to cook or to work in the future, at least you have a skill."

"Yeah...Brother, I get it!" Xiao Qian, whose eyes were still slightly red, couldn't help but glare at him, "Really? You haven't even gone yet, and you're already nagging me like that!"

"Haha..." Xiao Sheng couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if sister-in-law Yang Hehua didn't find a way out for himself, Xiao Sheng was finding one for himself.

After all, the temporary job arranged by Director Wang of the Street Office is not a long-term solution. But if he wants to go to college, tuition and living expenses will put more pressure on his sister-in-law Yang Hehua, and he can't do that.

Moreover, when their sister-in-law Yang Hehua asked them if they wanted to go to school, both siblings refused.

Xiao Sheng has a high school education, and Xiao Qian has a junior high school education.

Although they are twins, their IQs are completely different.

Yang Hehua heard the laughter and knew that the two siblings had talked it out, so she took the three children out of the room.

Xiuxiu and Manman were worried about Xiaoqian, so they went to her as soon as they came out.

"Auntie, auntie, you don't have to be sad anymore, right? This is the candy my mother gave me. I'll give it to you!"

Xiuxiu and Manman handed over the White Rabbit candies in their hands at the same time, with innocent smiles on their faces.

This was what the two girls had already discussed in the room just now.

As for Xiaobao, who was holding candy in his mouth, he went into Xiaosheng's arms.

Yang Hehua and Xiao Sheng looked at each other and then looked away.

"Sister-in-law, I just made an agreement with Qianqian that I will join the army, but I will have to trouble you to take care of Qianqian in the future!"

Yang Hehua waved her hand: "Why are we talking about this as a family? Besides, Xiuxiu, Manman and Xiaobao are all taken care of by Qianqian. She has been a great help to me. And sister-in-law, I also know why you made this choice. To be honest, I am not surprised. After all, you look so much like your brother, so you made the same choice, which I also think is very normal."

"Little brother, we will go find that parent after lunch tomorrow. She has given me the address today and asked me to go find her once I figure it out."

"Okay, sister-in-law!" Xiao Sheng nodded directly to his sister-in-law Yang Hehua's decision: "I will ask for leave after I finish cleaning the streets in the morning tomorrow."

In the job of street sweeping, there are three times of street cleaning time a day.

Xiao Qian was already very happy with her two little nieces and was cleaning up the dishes.

Yang Hehua emptied the backpack that was full of things.

Finally, there was a can of canned yellow peaches, a can of canned meat, three packs of pastries, two barrels of malted milk, eight apples, a bag of bacon weighing almost five pounds, a net bag of cowpeas weighing almost ten pounds, 8 pounds of potatoes, and ten pounds of sweet potatoes (actually yam).

Xiao Sheng, Man Man and others were stunned.

Others don’t know how precious these things are, but Xiao Sheng knows.

These two barrels of malted milk alone are priceless.

It comes from Shanghai, the supply is scarce, and the price is 1.27 yuan per barrel.

Because it is rare, you need a ticket, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money in your pocket.

On the black market, the price of this bucket of malted milk can be driven up to 10 yuan per bucket.

There are also canned yellow peaches, canned meat, bacon...

Hey!

These are all good stuff circulating in the black market!

Xiao Sheng was worried that his sister-in-law Yang Hehua had gone to the black market, and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law...you are..."

Yang Hehua saw the worry on his face and interrupted him directly: "Don't worry, these things are from clean sources. They are gifts of thanks from the parents of the children who were abducted by the beggars."

"Oh! So that's it!" Xiao Sheng finally put his heart at ease.

Fortunately, it wasn’t my sister-in-law Yang Hehua who went to the black market!

The black market is full of mixed people. Not to mention that my sister-in-law is a woman, even he doesn't want to go there.

There was bottled water at home, so Xiao Qian didn't go to the sink in the yard to wash the dishes. She put the dishes in the pot and washed them before coming over.

Then her eyes became the same as Xiuxiu Manman's, twinkling.

Yang Hehua smiled and said, "We'll have bacon tomorrow night!"

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Qian jumped out and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother brought back three rabbits today. One was given to Yu Shui, and there are two left. Let's eat the rabbits first?"

"Then we'll have a rabbit and some bacon!" Yang Hehua waved her hand and made the decision: "Make the other one into a dried rabbit and save it for the New Year!"

Yang Hehua did not ignore the looks of Xiuxiu and Manman. It was just that this era was special, with supplies scarce, so she could only improve the food secretly.

The supplies this time came from a legitimate source, so it would be better to eat them quickly to avoid others worrying about them.

"By the way, let's eat the canned yellow peaches too!" Yang Hehua unscrewed the lid and said, "Qianqian, go get some bowls."

"Oh...Okay! Sister-in-law!" Xiao Qian quickly went to get the bowl and spoon.

There wasn’t much in a can of canned yellow peaches, just enough for each person to get a piece of yellow peach and add a little canning water.

Xiaobao was eating the yellow peach in his hand, enjoying it very much.

Xiao Sheng directly refused such a rare thing, and only ate it after Yang Hehua persuaded him to.

While eating the yellow peach in her mouth, Yang Hehua couldn't help crying in her heart. This is the taste!

When the orchard on the farm opens, she will also make some canned fruit after the harvest.

What about canned yellow peaches, canned lychees, canned oranges, etc.
