Siheyuan: Don’t say I can’t do it

After sending Yu Li back to the shipping warehouse, I saw Yu Haitang opening the door.

Chen Luo thought that he had not had time to tidy up the bedroom, and Yu Haitang might smell a strange odor as soon as she entered.

So he quickly called Yu Haitang and said, "Haitang, go buy me a pack of cigarettes. Buy the most expensive ones."

Yu Haitang got the cigarette tickets and money and trotted to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Chen Luo entered the bedroom and lay down on the bed, letting the system clean himself and make the sheets clean. There was no odor in the room.

Dinner consisted of steamed bread, two stir-fried dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and a pot of egg soup.

He didn't beat the eggs evenly, so he didn't thicken the soup. Instead, he added some pepper to make a spicy soup. He tasted it and found it not bad.

After dinner, Yu Haitang took the initiative to pester him, but Chen Luo couldn't see how happy she was, so he found an excuse to leave.

Yu Haitang curled her lips, but she didn't feel unhappy, because after deep reflection, she had seen clearly into her heart. She felt that she was with Chen Luo just to fill her stomach.

It's not because I like it.

So she didn't care if Chen Luo was not in a hurry to get her body.

He Yushui skipped two grades to enter the third year of high school, and this was what bothered Yu Haitang the most.

She found it hard to accept the fact that she was two years older than He Yushui but two grades lower than He Yushui.

She now wants to drop out of school and go to work, because Yang Weimin told her that the Red Star Steel Mill is recruiting announcers and she wants to give it a try.

Moreover, once you have a job, you can do everything according to your own ideas and you don’t have to please others anymore.

It was He Yushui's own decision to skip two grades and go to the third year of high school. Chen Luo doesn't even know about it yet.

Chen Luo opened the odd job organization and took a look. The best income for 12 hours within two kilometers was only more than three yuan, and he had to go to several places. He really didn't want to do it.

Earlier, on his way to send Yu Li off, he heard others say that sifting stones at Miaofeng Mountain was quite profitable. Depending on the specifications, one could earn three to seven yuan for each cubic meter of qualified stones sifted.

Chen Luo thought that with his physical condition, it should not be a problem for him to sift a few cubic meters of pebbles in 12 hours, and he could make several hundred pieces a month.

He was thinking about something when he saw a couple's food bags being stolen and the man being kicked to the ground.

Chen Luo did not hesitate at all. He dodged and broke the necks of the two people who were trying to steal the food.

Although the food was recovered, the man was kicked, but fortunately the injury was not too serious.

Seeing Chen Luo really kill someone, the couple were scared to death.

Chen Luo said he would handle it and asked the couple to leave quickly.

After the two of them turned into the alley, Chen Luo put the two bodies into the storage space.

When he returned to Yard 95, he saw Xiaodang sitting in his small yard.

"Uncle Xiao Wuzi!" Seeing Chen Luo appear, Xiao Dang immediately stood up and ran towards him.

Chen Luo caught her and asked, "It's dark now, why aren't you staying at your house?"

"I just like waiting for Uncle Xiaowuzi."

Seeing Xiaodang's pitiful and skinny appearance, Chen Luo couldn't bear it, so he gave her a big vegetable bun, put it in a bowl, and let her sit at the table and eat slowly.

The water in the kettle was no longer drinkable, and he had to light a stove in the kitchen to boil water. So Chen Luo went to the third uncle's house to ask for a kettle of water and gave him two cents.

Chen Luo knew that the water boiler in the state-owned canteen in the alley charged one cent to fill a thermos bottle, and he felt uncomfortable that the third uncle was not making any money.

Chen Luo poured a cup of boiled water for Xiaodang, but it seemed unnecessary.

The vegetable buns were not dry, and Xiaodang got the filling all over her face. But she was very good at eating. She wiped her face with her little hands while eating, put the bun filling on her face back into her mouth, and then licked her fingers clean. Perfect!

When only half of the bun was left, Xiaodang was reluctant to eat it, so she asked Chen Luo to watch over it for him while she went to pull her mother over and gave the bun to her.

Qin Zhunru only took a small bite to taste the food and said she was not hungry.

Xiao Dang insisted that she eat, "Mommy is hungry and has no milk."

Chen Luo was amused by Xiaodang, and Qin Huairu just blushed slightly.

There were only a few vegetable buns left in the storage space. Chen Luo was reluctant to give them away, so he took out two steamed buns and handed them to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was already starving at this time. She took the steamed bread and started to eat it ravenously.

Seeing her miserable appearance, Chen Luo couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhuzi brought you food again?" It was He Yushui who told him about this.

"Yes! I help him wash clothes and tidy up the room, and he will bring back some leftovers. Otherwise, with the dozen kilograms of food in our house, we can't survive at all." Qin Huairu answered while eating steamed bread.

"Isn't there a worker level assessment at the beginning of next month? This time, Brother Dongxu should be able to be promoted to a third-level worker, and then he can earn an extra seven dollars per month."

Chen Luo reminded him. He had observed that Jia Dongxu had been working very hard recently and wanted to upgrade his work level. And considering his technical level, upgrading should not be a problem.

"The problem is that we, my mother, my two children and my mother-in-law, have no food supply. Now we can't even buy high-priced food. What should we do when my mother-in-law comes out?"

Qin Huairu said worriedly.

This is indeed the biggest problem she is facing right now.

Hearing this, Chen Luo frowned slightly. He knew that Qin Huairu's family was in a difficult situation, but he couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem for the time being.

"How about you talk to Brother Dongxu and let your mother-in-law go back to the countryside to live for a while. The summer grain harvest in the suburbs of Beijing is pretty good, unlike other places."

This was the only solution Chen Luo could think of.

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up, she thought this might be a feasible solution.

She thought that if she could send her mother-in-law back to the countryside, it would at least ease some of the burden on the family.

Moreover, she also thought of her mother's home, Qinjiatun.

Maybe there is surplus food there, and she can buy it at a high price. It will definitely be cheaper than the Pigeon Market.

So, Qin Huairu decided to go back and discuss this matter with Jia Dongxu.

Not long after the mother and daughter left, Chen Luo saw Yan Jiedi also peeking at the door of his courtyard.

Yan Jie Di was born in 1952. She is nine years old now, but she doesn't look like that. She seems to be six or seven years old because she is too thin and weak. She has been hungry for a long time.

"Come in, Jie Di, what's the matter?"

Yan Jiedi looked back outside the yard, then walked in quickly.

"Little Brother Wuzi! Your eldest brother, his wife, and your little niece came today and asked you to go to their house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

While Yan was passing on the message, he was observing the situation in the room.

When she saw the spicy shredded radish in the small bowl, her eyes widened and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp.

The children in the third uncle's family all have a quota, which is considered good. But Qin Huairu is so greedy that her eyes are shining. No wonder she has the idea of ​​sucking blood everywhere.

"Are you hungry? Here's a big vegetable bun as a reward for coming here to deliver the message!" Chen Luo took out a big vegetable bun, put it in a bowl and handed it to her, which made her very happy.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Wuzi!" Yan Jiedi's eating manners were not much better than Xiaodang's.
