Jia Dongxu watched Yi Zhonghai enter the middle courtyard, withdrew his respectful gaze and pushed his wife.
"Huairu, take the bowl home, I'll wait for you here."
Qin Huairu hurriedly walked home. At this moment, Jia Zhang was still cursing, as if someone owed her something.
Seeing Qin Huairu holding an empty bowl, Mrs. Jia Zhang began to scold you and said, "You are a freeloader from the countryside. Where is the meat you want? What use do you have for me? Dongxu should not have married you in the first place!" "
Qin Huairu said with an aggrieved look: "Mom, I met Dongxu on the road, and he didn't let me ask for it."
When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongxu said, she became angry and cursed: "It's all because of you, you bastard. We, Dongxu, are so obedient children, so smart, but with a little bitch like you, we can't even know how to eat meat." Eat what you want."
Qin Huairu knew that if she was talking to Jia Zhang, she would probably scold you all day long.
Qin Huairu hurriedly opened the door and prepared to go to the market to buy meat with Jia Dongxu.
When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu going out, she hurriedly scolded: "You lazy guy, you are not ready to cook yet, are you going to starve me and my grandson to death?"
"Mom, Dongxu asked me to buy meat with him, and you go and set the fire." It was the first time Qin Huairu used Jia Zhang's family, and it felt very exciting.
When Jia Zhang heard that Qin Huairu wanted to set a fire, she was about to get angry but found that Qin Huairu was missing.
After cursing for a while, Jia Zhang lay on the bed.
Waiting for Qin Huairu to come back to cook, it is impossible for her to set fire to cook by herself. She has finally gone from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law, how can she get back together!
Banggeng was so greedy for Zhang Zhifei's meat that he screamed, and Mrs. Jia Zhang could only comfort him and curse at the same time.
However, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu walked towards the pigeon market together. At this time, all the pork in the state-owned grocery stores or the Guomao Market had been sold out.
The two of them could only go to the Pigeon Market. The situation in the Pigeon Market was slightly better, but the best pork belly and fat meat were almost sold out.
Seeing that most of the rest was lean meat, Qin Huairu was very dissatisfied and felt at a disadvantage.
He is clamoring to let people buy meat cheaper, but now is a seller's market, and people will not tolerate him.
In the end, the two of them had no choice but to buy the bad meat. On the way back from buying the meat, Qin Huairu said to Jia Dongxu distressedly: "Dongxu, did we buy too much?"
Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes at Qin Huairu. His wife was good at everything, and she took good care of him and his family.
The only bad thing is probably the identity issue. She has a rural household registration, so the children still have a rural household registration. There is no food ration and they have to go to the black market or pigeon market to buy food.
Also, I have short eyelids and cannot see far, but my wife is a quick learner of anything. As long as I explain it to her once, she can basically remember it.
"What do you know? Saving doesn't mean saving like this." Jia Dongxu did not explain in detail. He planned to explain it in detail to his mother Jia Zhang and his wife Qin Huairu when he had time. He only figured out the truth during this period.
…
Siheyuan, middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai’s house
"Master, what do you think?" the eldest mother asked doubtfully.
Yi Zhonghai explained: "We don't have a son and a half, so we have to rely on Dongxu in the future. I also want to test them as a couple to see if they are worthy of the trust."
The eldest mother cried: "You blame me for not leaving you a son and a half."
Yi Zhonghai said: "Okay, it's too late to talk about this now. Let's take a look at Dongxu and Huairu. If they spend five yuan on meat, it means they can still trust it, and they will rely on it for their retirement in the future. On both of them."
What Yi Zhonghai didn't say was that Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu secretly took part of the money, which showed that they were not trustworthy, so they had to think of ways to support themselves in their old age, and they had to keep a secret.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai looked at Shazhu opposite and Zhang Zhifei in the front yard. One of these two people was his spare tire for retirement, and the other still needed to be tested in the future.
…
Zhang Zhifei's family, four brothers and sisters, all ate with their mouths full of oil.
The four of them were immersed in their meals, and no one spoke.
A pot of potato stew and a pot of rice would be enough to feed ten people in modern times, but in this era, one meal is gone!
After the meal, the four brothers and sisters were lazy at the dinner table, not wanting to move.
In the end, it was his younger brother Zhang Zhiguo who washed the dishes. In Zhang Zhifei's opinion, the two younger sisters were relatively well-behaved. One was busy with studies and the other was too young. The younger brother was at a rebellious age and needed to exercise more to avoid being disobedient.
But they said that when Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu came back, they were very unhappy when they saw the ice pot and the cold stove.
Qin Huairu hurriedly set the pot on fire and began to fry the meat. Although there were not many seasonings, the ingredients themselves were fragrant and there was no need for too many seasonings.
Banggeng sat pitifully in front of the stove, asking every once in a while if the meat was done.
Jia Zhang was even more unscrupulous. Regardless of whether it was cooked or not, he took out a small piece of fatty pork with his hands, put it in his mouth, and ate it with relish.
Qin Huairu avoided her gaze with a look of disdain. She really looked down upon her mother-in-law.
"Mom, what are you doing? Can't you wait until the meat is cooked?" Jia Dongxu asked angrily.
Jia Zhang didn't say anything, just eating the half-cooked fatty pork.
However, with Jia Dongxu's suggestion, Jia Zhang did not make any mistakes.
"Dongxu, the food is ready, you can eat it!" Qin Huairu said to Jia Dongxu who was lying on the bed.
"Okay, wait a minute, don't serve it yet, wait until I call the master and the others over." Jia Dongxu ordered.
"Dongxu, you are so naive, why are you giving food to an old family? We don't even have enough to eat ourselves!" Jia Zhang said.
"Mom, what do you know? Just be careful and don't talk nonsense." Jia Dongxu stood up and walked to the next door.
"Master and Madam, dinner is ready!" Jia Dongxu said at the door of Yi Zhonghai.
"Just come."
Yi Zhonghai agreed outside the door and walked out.
"Dongxu, I'm sorry to bother you." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.
Jia Dongxu said hurriedly: "Master, judging from what you said, isn't this what it should be? What's more, you paid for the meat, so I'm embarrassed to say it!"
The two of them arrived at Jia's house without saying a word.
Jia Zhang had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Yi Zhonghai, she curled her lips and wanted to say something, but then thought of Jia Dongxu's instructions, so she didn't speak.
After the food was brought to the table, Jia Dongxu ordered Qin Huairu: "Huairu, master has been tired for a long day. Let's serve the meal to master first."
Qin Huairu hurriedly scooped a large bowl for Yi Zhonghai. Jia Zhang looked distressed and gritted her teeth at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu scooped another large bowl for Jia Dongxu and he handed it to Aunt Ma.
After Qin Huairu scooped out food for everyone, she bothered to scoop out rice for herself.
Everyone at Jia's house had a great time that night. The only one who was a little jealous was Jia Zhang. He didn't understand what was going on with his son today.
After Yi Zhonghai and Auntie left, Jia Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, what's going on with you today? Are you so nice to Lao Juehu?"
Jia Dongxu said softly to the people in the room: "You all remember what I say next. I want to provide for Yi Zhonghai in his old age."
"Dongxu, you are confused! Can you be worthy of your father by doing this?" Jia Zhang said anxiously.
Jia Dongxu smiled and said: "What do you know? My master's salary is 99 yuan a month.
He and his aunt spend at most thirty or forty yuan a month, and save at least fifty yuan a month, which is six hundred yuan a year.
How much money do you think my master has saved now? At least a few thousand yuan.
He still has a room, a workstation, and a pension.
How much can it cost to provide for her in old age? As long as my master is provided for in his old age, everything will belong to our family in the future. "
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were shocked and speechless by the news. It turns out that the first uncle (an old Juehu) is so rich, and they thought that my Dongxu is smarter!
Yi Zhonghai and his wife thought that Jia Dongxu would let them eat first tonight. There was a lot of meat. They should have bought all the meat for five yuan. It seemed that Jia Dongxu was still very reliable.
Yi Zhonghai has decided to teach Jia Dongxu more skills and improve his level as soon as possible, so that his retirement life will be better in the future.
People from both families with dirty intentions are scheming against each other.
