Chapter 276 A fairly normal family
"Grandma, you said it's the end of the month, can my mother borrow food?" Banggeng said, touching his hungry belly.
"Your mother is very capable. If it doesn't work out, just go find that stupid pillar. If he is there, you can definitely borrow it." Mrs. Jia Zhang said dissatisfied.
"Come on, grandma, I've gone to see Silly Zhu's place a long time ago. The food bags under the bed are all empty, and there's not even a grain of food." Banggeng said with a sigh.
"Impossible, he is a cook who usually eats the same food, and the food at home cannot be used at all. How can there be no food!" Jia Zhang asked with wide eyes.
"Grandma, don't forget that Uncle Shabby also has Aunt Yuyu at home. Last week I saw Aunt Yuyu take all the food from home to school." Xiaodang sat up and said weakly.
It's all my fault, grandma. There was nothing to eat at home, so she ate it secretly. Now we have three days to wait for next month's supply. Even she knows that food will be tight at every household at the end of the month. Who will lend you food!
"What? All the rainwater was taken away? Doesn't this idiot know that our family is in trouble? How could he give all the food to that person~" Jia Zhang became angry when she heard this, and what she said didn't sound good.
It didn't matter that she scolded her. Sophora japonica, who had finally fallen asleep due to hunger, began to cry and make a fuss. After all, sophora japonica was also a bloodline of the Jia family. Sophora japonica was so noisy that Jia Zhang had no choice but to coax her away with curses.
.
"Brother, do you think our mother can borrow food?" Xiao Dang said to his brother, glancing at the grandma who was leaving.
Since Qin Huairu became the head of the family, Xiaodang's status in the family has also increased. Although grandma still doesn't have her turn to eat well, as long as her mother is here, it is still very fair to her. Moreover, Qin Huairu has always taught Bianggeng,
As the man in the family, he must take good care of his sister, so the relationship between the brother and sister has always been good.
"I don't know either." Banggeng sighed and said lying on the table.
"It's not your fault. You ate it when grandma secretly ate it." Xiao Dang asked unhappily.
"I just ate a lot. It's not that I didn't leave it for you, it's that I ate it all because I didn't want to eat it." Bangge said helplessly.
The rations are not much to begin with, especially during the last few days at the end of the month. Everyone's food is more dilute and less thick. You said that Jia and Zhang would add dry food to themselves every now and then. How many meals can that little food last?
Before she knew it, food was running low.
"Hey! Then you can't eat Sophora japonica, either! How old is she?" Xiaodang glanced at Sophora japonica in the back room and said. Xiaodang is a pretty good sister, and she can still think of Sophora japonica's sister.
"I'm not eating the millet porridge either! Let's keep an eye on it next time. We can't let grandma steal Sophora japonica's millet anymore, otherwise Sophora japonica will cry every day and it will be annoying to death." Banggeng pursed his lips and said.
.
"Brother, you should think about how you are going to live these days! If mom can't borrow food, our family will starve!" Xiao Dang said while lying on the table.
It can be seen from their conversation that Qin Huairu protected them very well. It cannot be said that the Jia family's food is good. At least their family can still eat well, but now because Jia Zhang's secretly eats, they are temporarily
caught in a dilemma.
Bang~ At this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly opened the door with a bag in hand. Banggan and Xiaodang immediately became energetic because they saw the grain bag in their mother's hand.
"Ah! Huai Ru, have you borrowed grain? I knew you must have a way." Jia Zhang didn't care about Sophora japonica, put her on the kang, came to the living room, touched the grain bag and said happily.
She was quite confused just now. She couldn't count on the eldest son. They had already given them food twice this month. She couldn't even get through the eldest daughter's request. Besides, she was gone.
Silly Zhu's side is even more desperate. The rain has taken away the food. Where can we get food? So Jia Zhang felt regretful just now. What would Qin Huairu and his family do if they couldn't borrow food?
"Hey? Why is it stick noodles? These things are all scum." Opening the grain bag, Mrs. Jia Zhang said with some dissatisfaction when she saw that it was stick noodles.
"Grandma, how old is it? It would be nice to eat some. Mom, where did you borrow this from?" Bangge was already sensible, and he seemed to look down on grandma.
But this stick noodle is really not that good, it's full of dregs. It's just that he's very hungry now. Some of it would be good to eat. I don't know what the food substitutes that his classmates eat at home are. Many of them can't be eaten.
Can't even pull it out.
"I borrowed it from Li Gan's house." Qin Huairu heard Huaihua's cry and hurriedly went to the back room to pick up the child. She was such a hopeless mother-in-law that she even ate the child's rations. Sophora flower had been hungry all day.
.
"What about Li Jianhua? He's just a cadre and he's lending us this?" Jia Zhang said dissatisfied.
"Mom, I don't owe you anything. It would be great if I could lend you food at this time. Don't say bad things about them. Our family will point to Yu Li to help buy food in the future! Besides, they don't just lend you food.
Give us this, and there’s also millet!”
"Oh~ Sophora japonica, be good! Mom will make millet porridge for you right now!" Qin Huairu said while coaxing the crying Sophora japonica.
"Xiaomi? Li Jianhua lent us Xiaomi?" Jia Zhang's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this.
"It's not Cadre Li, it's Yu Li. She felt sorry for me and borrowed some millet. Mom, hold the Sophora japonica while I cook." Qin Huairu handed the child to Jia Zhang and took the grain to prepare for cooking.
.
It can be heard from Qin Huairu's title that the people in their courtyard are quite afraid of Li Jianhua, the only cadre in the courtyard, especially those of them who work in the steel rolling mill. He is the director of the canteen and deputy factory Li.
Being in the background for a long time, people like them don't dare to offend.
"Mom, I also want to have millet porridge." Banggeng didn't care about this. He almost shed tears when he heard the millet porridge.
"Go, go, go, I only gave you more than a bowl. This millet is very valuable. The current supply changes every day. Who knows how much it will be next month. I made a promise first. I will lock up this millet soon.
It must be left to the Sophora japonica to eat." Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhang and said.
It was obvious that what she said was not just for Banggan, but also for the Jia Zhang family. Qin Huairu was not lying. The current supply varies from month to month, and what can be obtained next month will have to be lucky.
This is why Qin Huairu is friends with Yu Li. Now there is a friend who works in a grain store who is very bullish. At least he can get some good ones. For example, their food substitutes are almost all corn noodles. How can other people have such a good thing?
, these are all the benefits of Qin Huairu fawning over Li Lao.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Huairu does not dare to treat Li like she did to the first master and Silly Zhu. If it were not for the fact that there was nothing she could do this time, she would not go to Yu Li's house to borrow food. What she wanted was to earn money every month
I can buy some good supplies.
"Hey! It's so good to be a child!" When Banggeng heard that there was no portion of millet porridge for him, he crawled there as if he had no bones.
"Brother, you are wrong. It is better to be a cadre. Look at Cadre Li's house. They don't know what to eat today." Xiao Dang retorted.
"Hey? What Xiaodang said is right. You have to study hard, and it's better to be a cadre. I saw a lunch box on the table of Cadre Li at the door today. Do you know what's in it?" Qin Huairu thought that Xiaodang
That's a good point. She was going to talk to Banggeng to encourage him!
"What! It can't be braised pork!" Banggan immediately became energetic and said.
"Go, don't talk about this. I don't know if the big boss won't eat this either." Qin Huairu said quickly and nervously.
"Yes, brother, you can't talk nonsense!" Xiao Dang also said. Nowadays, this word is taboo in school and cannot be said.
"I'm not at home! Mom, please tell me what you saw?" Banggeng said helplessly and then asked Qin Huairu what exactly he saw. We can't wait to hear it!
"I saw tofu, two large pieces of white and tender tofu." Qin Huairu said directly without giving in.
"Tofu! Tofu and potatoes are delicious together." Xiao Dang couldn't help but say.
"Look, you've never had good fried tofu. It'd be better to put some meat on it to make it taste better!" Banggeng said as if you didn't know anything about it.
