Chapter 207 I want to escape
“Hey, look at this rosy face, your wife is nourishing you so much.” As soon as the two met, Chu Heng started to get angry. .
The two of them have always behaved like this. When they meet, they don't say a few words to each other, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Guo Kai came today to ask for help and did not answer any questions. He glanced at his brother who was busy not far away, gestured to Chu Heng, turned around and walked out of the shop: "Let's talk outside."
As soon as he saw this posture, Chu Heng knew that something was wrong and hurriedly followed him out.
The two brothers came to the door and stopped under the window. Guo Kai took out a cigarette and threw one over. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Um...is your family still rich in food? Can you sell me some?"
His daughter-in-law has a rural household registration and does not have food rations, and the children she will give birth to in the future will also have a rural household registration.
So in order not to burden the family and avoid conflicts with his siblings in the future, he moved out with his wife and lived alone after getting married, leaving the burden to be shouldered by himself.
It used to be easy to say that if he didn't have enough food, he could buy it on the black market. Although his life was not rich, it was still pretty good. But since the pigeon market stopped some time ago, he has no place to buy food and can only find friends. The East borrows from the West to buy.
Originally, he didn’t want to come to Chu Heng. After all, he had helped him so much before, and he might not be able to repay the favor he owed in this life. How could he have the nerve to trouble him again?
Guo Kai really has no choice.
He didn’t have many friends, and the world was not good, so there were even fewer people who could borrow or sell food. He cobbled together several houses here and there, but the food he got wasn’t enough for him and his wife. Next month.
He couldn't open his mouth at home, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Chu Heng.
Chu Heng naturally knew the situation of Guo Kaijia, plus he was not short of food, and the two of them were friends who had died on the battlefield, so he did not even hesitate and said immediately: "What the hell? If you want to sell it or not, just tell me how much it is missing, and I will take it for you right now. You can pay it back when you have it.”
It’s said to be borrowing, but it’s actually the same as giving it, as is the case with Guo Aizi’s family. , if you want to achieve food freedom, you can’t even think about it for more than ten years.
Now his family only has a rural registered permanent residence, which is better. If you wait a few years to have another child, then you will have another child, and the hard times will be behind you!
Guo Kai also understood what Chu Heng meant, but he didn't want to take advantage of it. He shook his head stubbornly: "I won't borrow it, and you can't pay it back. If you want more, sell me ten kilograms of coarse grains. If it's not enough, three kilograms of coarse grains." Even five kilograms is enough.”
“You’re a fool, I won’t take any advantage of you.” Chu Heng rolled his eyes, raised his hand and punched him hard. He went to push the bicycle and said to him angrily: "Hurry up and get it for you."
"If you change things, I will definitely not be polite." Guo Kai grinned. He smiled and swooped into the back seat: "Let's go."
Chu Heng turned back to look at him and asked doubtfully: "No, where is your car?"
"Sold." Guo Kai said with a relaxed face.
Chu Heng smacked his lips, said nothing, stepped on the car, and quickly left the grain store.
To be honest, he admires Guo Kai now.
After experiencing such and such things, he did not blame others or escape, but actively worked hard to change and take responsibility.
This is what you call a man!
After a while, the two of them arrived at the courtyard.
Opening the door and entering the house, Chu Heng went directly to the rice vat. He did not bring any fine grains, but just took out all the coarse grains such as stick noodles, sweet potatoes, and sorghum rice. One piece would cost twenty Many pounds.
Guo Kai didn't know that he didn't lack this. He thought he was going to save food to help himself, so he waved his hand hurriedly: "There's no need for this, just take ten catties."
"How can you follow me? You look like a girl? You can just take it. How can I, a food seller, be short of food?" Chu Heng glared at him and took out a few food bags. She put the bag into his hand, thought for a while and then said: "If you count two cents per catty, these are estimated to be twenty. You can pay four yuan. If it is more, you will make a profit, and if it is less, you will lose." "This can't be done. The pigeon market last month was only 28 cents. Now it's even more expensive. I'll give you 30 cents." Guo Kai didn't want him to suffer a loss, so he put down his things, took out his money, and counted out six yuan for him.
Well, being poor has a lot of backbone.
Chu Heng didn’t want to argue with him over this matter, so he took the money and pocketed it.
The two drank tea and chatted for a while in the house again, and left the courtyard at about one o'clock.
Chu Heng first took Guo Kai back by bicycle, then turned around and ran home again to replenish the sold noodles before returning to the grain store.
It’s not enough to make up for it. His family doesn’t actually have much food on the surface. It’s enough for two people in a month. It would be good to have five kilograms of food left. If he really sells it, With twenty kilograms of whole grains, Ni Yinghong dared not let him go to bed for a month!
When he saw Ni Yinghong at work, Chu Heng hurriedly reported the situation to the shopkeeper. He briefly talked about Guo Kai's purchase of grain with reservations, only talking about the sweet potatoes and sorghum rice he had brought, but not a word about the stick noodles.
Miss Xiao Ni has always been reasonable. When she heard that it was so difficult for Guo to open a family, and the food given out was completely within her tolerance, she didn't say much. She even complained that the man didn't bring him some stick noodles.
This made Chu Heng sigh again.
How much more can a husband ask for when he is married to a wife like this?
I must add an extra hour in the evening to reward this virtuous wife.
...
In the evening, not long after the couple returned home, Xu Damao came over and asked Director Chu to move to the backyard.
Chu Heng, who didn’t really want to go, washed his face and changed clothes. He cleaned up for a while before following him out. As he walked, he kept mumbling: "Brother Damao, you Why bother with this? Just tell me if you have something to do.”
“With the relationship between us two brothers. , It doesn’t have to be like this.” Xu Damao held it with a smile on his face and said in a flattering manner: “It’s been a while since we’ve had a drink, so I’d like to take this opportunity to have a good drink with you. Who asked you to? This boss is a very busy man, it’s very difficult to make an appointment with you.”
Busy daddy!
Chu Heng rolled his eyelids several times and wanted to spit in his face.
What the hell are you talking about? You should be more reliable. I lie down at home every night. Which of your eyes can see that I am busy?
The two of them talked nonsense all the way and soon arrived in the backyard.
Lou Xiao'e knew that Chu Heng was coming today, so she dressed up specially. She washed her hair, applied powder, and put on new clothes. She looked fragrant and beautiful.
Unfortunately, someone did not notice her change.
"Sister-in-law is also at home." Chu Heng entered the room and greeted her, then turned his attention to the dishes on the Eight Immortals' table, and immediately had the idea of running away.
Look at those dishes!
Roast duck, braised pork with fermented bean curd, it’s like honey, chicken wrapped in vegetables, all the hard vegetables, none of them are cheap.
With this configuration, can what I want to talk about today be small?
