Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu
Chapter 237 Making a Transaction
Whether you are one step ahead in the transaction or miss this opportunity, you know that everyone will face the same dilemma in the next stage.
Families with larger numbers face greater food difficulties.
After looking at the notice of changes posted on the bulletin board, Jia Haoyun thought for a moment and then returned to his residence.
Although this change did not have a big impact on him, he was still not at ease: "Hao Yun, has the notice come? Are you going to adjust the food ration ratio again?"
When Old Lady Jia and Qin Hairu saw Jia Haoyun coming home, they hurriedly asked him about it.
This matter is of vital importance as it concerns the direction of your future life.
“Yes, the rules have been changed.
" Jia Haoyun described the changes he witnessed in detail, "Fortunately, we have already exchanged some in advance, but we also need to consider that there will be more inconveniences later.
"
Although Mrs. Jia did not have a compassionate heart, she was concerned about the quality of life at home and did not seem to pay much attention to other things.
"Then do we have to live frugally from now on?" Qin Huairu, the sister-in-law, asked when she saw the worry on her husband's face.
As the pregnancy progressed, Jia Haoyun would often bring various foods home for nutritional supplements for the baby - especially after he returned from business trips, his pursuit of quality of life increased.
Now that the children have been born, his younger sister will soon complete her postpartum recuperation and return to work; Mr. Jia's doting on his family has long gone beyond the scope of daily needs.
Although confinement is supposed to be a time for rest and delicious food, during that period, who can really enjoy the entire month at home without working?
If it weren't for Jia Haoyun's insistence, she would have returned to work long ago.
Over the past month, she has given all her salary and subsidies to her colleagues at the old freight station, which is the basic condition for maintaining this leisure life.
As food supply became increasingly urgent and Jia Haoyun frowned after receiving the news, Qin Huairu intuitively judged that he was worried about the family's food security.
Considering the need to reduce food consumption starting from the next month, she suggested eating more frugally in the future.
"Hmm? No need. I'm not thinking about our family's affairs. I have a way to solve the problem of food.
I think life will be even harder for other families in the future.
"Jia Haoyun expressed his sympathy.
"That's true!" Qin Huairu did not make any further comments at this time.
"You are so kind and thoughtful, but you don't need to worry too much about the unknown. It is enough to just manage our family well.
It seems that you are indeed a responsible and good girl.
"
"Old Jia is right, we should be frugal, fine grains are very precious nowadays.
"
"We have been eating fine grains and meat together. We are now in the transition period between the green and yellow grain shortages, and it is still unknown when we will get through this period.
"As soon as Jia's mother finished speaking, she began to prepare dinner and eat steamed buns, and pointed out that we should not rely on refined grains every day.
She thought back to the past, and although she had plenty of fine food, she had never tasted the deliciousness of fine grains as often as she did now.
This lifestyle has gone beyond the behavioral standards of the landlords and wealthy people in the past.
"Oh! Mom, don't cook buns anymore. I still have some food that can be found. We don't have to lack any food resources!" Jia Haoyun hurriedly stood up to explain. His state of mind was no longer the same as before, and he could not change the entire era by his own efforts. Facts showed that what Old Lady Jia said was indeed correct.
As a member of this small family, it is not easy to take care of household affairs.
Seeing Qin Huairu chuckle, she watched how Jia Haoyun followed closely behind and tried to emphasize her needs in front of Old Lady Jia.
His behavior always seems so "literary" and occasionally there is some deep thought.
Only when facing his mother, his stubbornness is often understood, recognized and gradually succumbs to her wise insights.
In this way, Old Lady Jia finally agreed to change the staple food tonight to pancakes made of cornmeal. For Jia Haoyun, who had always relied on refined grains for his life, this was undoubtedly a teaching experience, as it taught him to cherish the value of food.
In fact, this move is not entirely a deliberate act of making things difficult.
Qin Huairu and Old Lady Jia were concerned about the nutrition and abundant material supply during the confinement period, so the quality of their daily meals was very high. Over time, they inevitably felt uncomfortable with the continuous superior diet.
After receiving the news of the exchange of material distribution, they realized that the value of the food they would need for their future life was beyond ordinary.
Even for ordinary families, being able to enjoy food made from cornmeal is a luxury.
Although she did not express much opinion on the surface, Qin Huairu's point of view was recognized and believed in her heart that it was indeed time to control the use of fine grains.
Jia Haoyun is well aware of this and understands what his mother is thinking.
During the evening trip, Jia Haoyun took out another large bag of fine grains, meat and eggs from his bag, which solved the problem and put his mother at ease.
She was worried about whether Jia Haoyun would encounter any accidents in the necessary process of obtaining the food, and ensuring that they had enough food to get through this special period.
Every time Jia Haoyun went back to carry so many things, he didn't look tired at all, which made people less worried.
Even though you've reminded him countless times, you never expected that this little kid would learn to respond to your orders with just one word, yet he would always find ways to secretly bring back a bag of goodies at night.
It was unclear where those good things came from, as if he was a tireless thief.
No matter how much he was scolded, he was always like a well-educated obedient mouse, but after being told, he would act according to his own ideas.
It seemed to them that it was impossible to restrain the child.
Qin Huairu felt the same way and noticed that Jia Haoyun had been becoming irresistibly clingy towards her recently. He would come up to her whenever he had nothing to do and even snatch the drinks that the children had in the evening.
Once he even finished the children's portion, and the whole family was discussing where he got so much delicious food.
Jia Haoyun's change did not last long. After all, he had a clear memory of his previous experience, so he was always cautious and even strictly controlled the food at home to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
After receiving the letter, he felt much more relieved. Although he still needed to be cautious outside, he dared to move around freely at home.
Before, if he wanted to enjoy good food, he had to go to the space supermarket and eat secretly, but now Jia Haoyun is no longer restricted.
You don't even have to make excuses to satisfy your family.
The food at home is still mainly tortillas, but Jia Haoyun will try to let them taste some delicacies and no longer be limited to the space supermarket.
However, Qin Huairu felt at a loss about this new change, and she found that she could not control her son's behavior.
The same feeling also spread to Nan Yi, and he noticed Jia Haoyun's abnormal behavior in recent times.
In order to exchange some things, he visited Jia Haoyun again, knowing that the situation might be more difficult and complicated this time.
And when he learned that many people's living conditions were becoming increasingly difficult, Nan Yi focused his attention on his main target, Liang Ladi, whose life also seemed particularly difficult.
What did this clue make him feel? It turned out that after this delicate period of time, the originally opposing people finally had a new connection, and it was the roles of Jia Haoyun and the children that prompted the escalation of the interaction between the two.
They were impressed by Nan Yi's excellent cooking skills and decided to make this mysterious chef one of the core figures of their family.
This time, the opportunity was chosen on a romantic night in a single dormitory in Nanyi. The atmosphere was slightly subtle and relaxed.
After drinking some wine, this strange group of children left at the right time, leaving the adults with more time alone.
Unconsciously, their hands became entangled with each other.
The gazes between the two further deepened the closeness. What seemed to be just an accidental collision actually contained a deep interweaving of emotions.
The next morning, before Nan Yi had fully recovered from the surprise, Liang Ladi had already disappeared from his sight in a cool manner.
However, Nan Yi's promise - "I will be responsible for you" made Liang Ladi, who had already completed the evacuation process, instantly excited. The thoughts behind her free and easy attitude were actually full of deep trust in the other party.
The next day, they went straight to Jia Haoyun's secret base and enjoyed the "delicacies" provided by Jia Haoyun.
At night, Nan Yi carefully distributed and delivered various supplies, and ensured that all doors were locked.
His enthusiasm for the task became even stronger. After all, he had a sense of responsibility and was no longer the selfish person who only cared about himself and did not consider others.
In the past, he helped his uncles and uncles exchange resources only as an opportunity to gain some personal benefits.
And now, through these transactions he has obtained a lot of grains.
But now they can no longer be simply called coarse grains, they should be called "brown fine rice", although other aspects have not changed, the only significant change is the price increase.
But prices are rising overall because enforcement is stricter in the current environment.
However, small-scale trading activity will not disappear.
Since everyone needs to rely on this mechanism to make a living, both parties in the transaction need to become more cautious.
The use of this strategy actually benefited Jia Haoyun.
You have to know that the supply and demand situation at the moment makes this a seller's market, not a buyer's market; who wouldn't want to have something when there is a shortage of it?
It is worth noting that this does not mean that price fluctuations are entirely determined by Nan Yi.
Price changes are more of a reasonable response based on actual conditions.
He did not think that Jia Haoyun alone gained huge benefits from it.
Jia Haoyun's reward for every visit is probably a few pounds of good meat! In today's market situation, it is not so easy to try new things.
Nan Yi was always very grateful for this, because he believed that every time they exchanged items, Jia Haoyun would not be greedy.
Nan Yi sees this kind of communication not as simply an exchange of money between the two parties, but more as a balance and exchange between material and friendship, such as meat and occasional special gifts.
Whether it is canned food, ham or sweet chocolate, although the quantity is small, the high value they contain cannot be ignored by Nan Yi.
After a delicious meal of meat, Nan Yi realized that the commission given by Jia Haoyun was actually very small.
