Chapter 27 A mother’s worry!
When Aunt Liu and the two aunts returned to the courtyard, the news that Wu Aiguo had become the purchasing section chief of the supply and marketing cooperative spread like a gust of wind in the courtyard.
Hearing that Aunt Liu was in the courtyard and vividly introduced to everyone in the courtyard how they went to Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy soap, Auntie couldn't help but think of the day before yesterday when Yi Zhonghai made trouble for Wu Aiguo for the Jia family.
Aunt Ma has lived with Yi Zhonghai for more than 20 years. She knows Yi Zhonghai's character very well. She also knows clearly that after Yi Zhonghai was reprimanded by Director Wang, even though he didn't say anything, she felt certain in her heart. I was thinking about how to take revenge on Wu Aiguo's family.
After hearing Aunt Liu's introduction, Auntie learned that Wu Aiguo was no longer the street kid who liked to cause trouble, which made her faintly worried about Yi Zhonghai.
"Old Yan! I went shopping in the pigeon market this morning and only bought three kilograms of stick noodles. The price was two cents more expensive than usual." In the evening, Yan Bugui had just returned home when the third aunt told her that today I told Yan Bugui the result of going to buy grain.
When Yan Bugui learned that the third aunt only bought three kilograms of stick noodles, he asked unhappily: "Xiuhua! There are so many people selling food in Pigeon Market, why did you only buy three kilograms of stick noodles?"
When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, she thought of what she saw and heard in Gezi City today, and replied: "Old Yan! I heard from people in Gezi City that this year's grain production has been reduced, and people who go to the countryside can't even eat their own food." My stomach is not full, how can I have any extra food to sell?”
"And the person selling food also told me that the price of food now is one per day, and more importantly, there is a price but no market. What do you think we should do?"
Yan Bugui learned about the situation in the pigeon market and believed the news Wu Aiguo told him even more.
Yan Bugui thought for a while and then said to the third aunt: "Xiuhua! I will go to the black market to try my luck at night and see if I can buy food."
When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui's words, she thought of the news she heard in the courtyard in the afternoon, and quickly said to Yan Bugui: "Old Yan! Aunt Liu from the intermediate courtyard went to Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy soap this afternoon and said in the courtyard Aiguo is the deputy chief of the purchasing department of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative! ”
Yan Bugui was not surprised when he heard the news that the third aunt told him, because Wu Aiguo had already told him this news.
Yan Bugui saw the envious expression on the third aunt's face and said meaningfully to the third aunt: "Xiuhua! When Aiguo just came back, I told you that he came back from a different job. According to the resettlement policy, Aiguo only needs to go to work. He’s just a cadre, what’s so strange about that?”
When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui's words, she thought of her children and couldn't help but sigh: "Old Yan! Our family's Jie Cheng! is only one year younger than Ai Guo. If we had sent Jie Cheng to join the army, Xie Cheng would have retired. Will you become a cadre when you come back?”
Yan Bugui heard the third aunt's emotion, thought of his eldest son, and said with a depressed look: "Xiuhua! Our family Jie Cheng has been weak and fearful since he was a child. If he is allowed to join the army, is it possible that he will come back with meritorious service?"
While Yan Bugui and the third aunt were discussing Wu Aiguo at home, master and apprentice Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard together.
Yi Zhonghai walked to the middle courtyard and reminded Jia Dongxu seriously: "Dongxu! In two months, it will be the fitter upgrade exam again. During this period, you'd better be more serious when you go to work and try to get your fitter skills." Level up one more level, so your salary can also be increased.”
Jia Dongxu heard Yi Zhonghai's reminder and responded calmly: "Master! I understand! I will definitely study the benchwork skills seriously during this period."
When Yi Zhonghai heard Jia Dongxu's answer, he had a vague feeling that Jia Dongxu was dealing with him. Thinking of Jia Dongxu's character gave Yi Zhonghai a headache, and he could only walk helplessly towards his home.
"Zhong Hai! You're back! The food is ready, you can eat!" Yi Zhonghai walked into the house. The aunt who was cooking saw Yi Zhonghai coming back and immediately greeted Yi Zhonghai.
When Yi Zhonghai heard what the eldest mother said, he asked her aunt expressionlessly: "Have you delivered the dinner to the old lady in the backyard?"
The aunt heard Yi Zhonghai's question and saw Yi Zhonghai's expression, and replied: "The old lady's meal has been delivered, but the old lady has been shouting for meat in the past two days. This month we have given it to the old lady." My wife bought meat twice.”
Yi Zhonghai asked his aunt to take care of the old lady, using the subsidy given to the old lady by the street office. The purpose was to establish an image of respecting the elderly and caring for the young in front of the residents in the courtyard. If he was really allowed to pay for the old lady's support by himself, , even if Yi Zhonghai is beaten to death, he won't do it.
When Yi Zhonghai learned that the old lady wanted to eat meat again, he said to the aunt expressionlessly: "When Sha Zhu comes back later, I will go find Sha Zhu and ask him to wait for a reception in the factory. Bring some meat back to the old lady.”
Auntie has lived with Yi Zhonghai for so many years, so she naturally understands Yi Zhonghai’s character. Thinking of what Aunt Liu said, Auntia said to Yi Zhonghai with a solemn face: "Zhonghai! Auntie Liu next door to us went to Chaoyang for patriotic work in the afternoon. Supply and marketing cooperative buys soap ”
"When Aunt Liu came back, she said in the courtyard that Aiguo was the deputy section chief of the purchasing section of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative! They were able to buy soap because of their patriotic relationship."
After the introduction, Auntie thought of Yi Zhonghai's character and begged Yi Zhonghai: "Zhonghai! There is no conflict between our family and the old Wu family in the backyard. Why do you have to make the relationship with the Wu family so tense for the sake of the Jia family? ?”
Yi Zhonghai heard his aunt's persuasion and thought that he had been tricked by Wu Aiguo, so he could only pretend to be comatose to get out of trouble.
Yi Zhonghai's face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he angrily reprimanded the aunt: "Shut up! I am also the eldest son in the courtyard, and Wu Aiguo, that bastard, not only did not put me, the eldest son, in the In the eyes, in front of the whole hospital and Director Wang, I couldn’t get off the stage because I was incompatible with that bastard.”
Auntie knew very well that the reason why Yi Zhonghai favored the Jia family was because he wanted Jia Dongxu to provide for the couple in their old age.
Thinking of Jia Zhang's lazy and unreasonable temperament, Aunt Ma couldn't help but feel worried, and asked Yi Zhonghai in a low voice: "Zhonghai! Do you think that with Jia Zhang's character, Jia Dongxu will really provide for us in our old age?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard his aunt mention Jia Zhang's family, and thought of Jia Zhang's lazy character, he immediately felt a sense of regret in his heart.
Thinking of the investment he had made in the Jia family and Jia Dongxu over the years, Yi Zhonghai was not willing to give up on the Jia family just like this, even if he was beaten to death, he replied with a disappointed look on his face: "Oh! Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. Go! ”
When the aunt heard Yi Zhonghai's answer and saw Yi Zhonghai's depressed expression, she said with a guilty look on her face: "Zhonghai! It's all my fault. If I could give you a son and a half, we wouldn't have to give birth to a son and a half daughter." Hope is pinned on the Jia family.”
