Chapter 30 Shazhu and Dongxu
Jia Dongxu's family is very respectable in the courtyard.
The three large houses are bright and spacious. Jia Dongxu has a bright career future and is married to one of the most beautiful wives in this alley.
You know, there are art universities in Nanluoguxiang. The Central Academy of Drama is located in Mianmian Hutong not far from the courtyard.
Qin Huairu can be talked about in this area because her appearance is definitely very resistant in this era.
When they got married, the Jia family prepared a warehouse full of 36-legged furniture.
Also purchased a sewing machine.
As the mother of a family like this, Mrs. Jia Zhang always has a bright face, has no worries about food and clothing, goes out for walks and chats, and has a lot of face.
It was not until the second half of last year that the new household registration policy was introduced and implemented.
From being envied and jealous by others, the Jia family has gradually become the butt of jokes behind others' backs.
The gap is so large that it has affected the family's daily living atmosphere.
Especially Jia Zhang, who had enjoyed glorious praise for many years, was suddenly ridiculed, and subconsciously retorted like a child.
A kind of character called "thorny child" is gradually developed.
Jia Dongxu is a filial son, but his work and his wife and children take up a lot of his time and energy, and he is not immediately aware of his mother's conflicts with others outside during the day.
Therefore, there is no way to guide and stop it.
Fortunately, this trend did not last long.
Jia Dongxu bit the bullet and went to a ghost market that 'only bad boys go to', and his luck was as good as ever.
I met a 'big grain seller' right away.
He immediately solved his family’s food shortage problem.
If you have the Tao, you will have food at home and no worries.
Although the Jia family didn't say anything, the pride in their hearts grew again.
However, no one is perfect.
Some things, buried in the heart for too long, will make people feel uncomfortable without a place to express their feelings.
This is the case with Jia Dongxu.
However, for safety reasons, it is indeed inconvenient for him to talk to everyone, but he also has good friends who are strict with their mouths.
For example, our neighbor He Yuzhu works as a cook in San Canteen.
Although he is nicknamed Silly Zhu, he is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is quite reliable and very righteous.
The two often commute to and from get off work together, and occasionally get together for a drink.
Shazhu's craftsmanship was passed down from family to family, and he later took over and joined the steel rolling mill. At the age of 20, he went to the famous Hongbin Building in Beijing to learn skills.
However, Silly Zhu was also unlucky. He wanted to change jobs but did not resign. As a result, he was completely tied to the steel rolling mill after a public-private partnership was established a few years ago.
It's not that he's depressed, but it's exactly the same as the Jia family's situation now.
They can be regarded as brothers in need.
It's just that Silly Zhu does things differently from Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu is as calculating as Qianyuan Yan Bugui and knows how to get by, but he also has the bureaucracy of the old capital.
When a problem arises, he immediately tries to solve it on his own.
As for Silly Zhu, during that period of time, he began to stay away from home and drank with some friends on the street.
It was Jia Dongxu's family who helped support He Yuyu for a period of time and spent that period.
Silly Zhu has a venomous mouth, but his heart is clear.
Treat Jia Dongxu like an older brother.
On this day, the two of them got together again for a drink.
Shazhu had food and Dongxu had wine. The two of them had a few drinks and the conversation started to open up.
After a few drinks, Jia Dongxu started talking.
He said that his family's food problem has been solved. Although the price is a bit high, it is safe and sufficient.
He also said that the other party was very energetic and could not only get white noodles, but also eggs and milk powder tickets.
In terms of price, Jia Dongxu is a little reflects Jia Dongxu's cautious character.
No matter how good a friend is, he cannot be unreserved.
In my own family, I definitely can't drink a few ounces of wine and throw it all away.
I just want to say that the price is relatively reasonable and within the range that I can barely afford.
Moreover, Jia Dongxu also changed the topic.
"This kind of food shortage will definitely not become normal. When the new food comes next year, this situation will definitely ease. Zhuzi, if your family doesn't have enough, just tell me. We are all neighbors. If you ask, I will designate help."
"Brother Dongxu, look what you said, no matter how short of food you are, you won't be able to get a cook. That's what we do. A living person can still choke to death..."
After a while, the two talked about it again.
It might be because of alcohol, He Yuzhu looked disdainful.
"Brother Dongxu, to be honest, when I say something that I don't like, I mean I'm talking to a layman. I'm from a good family in the ghost market. You have to know that I'm a cook. What does a cook do? I can't do anything well. Channels for materials?”
After a drunken bragging, Su Mu met He Yuzhu by chance in Xiaoshi two days later.
He Yuzhu may have been born with an unlucky constitution, and he encountered an inspection on his first visit to Xiaoshi.
Experienced an extreme escape.
If he is caught, it will be troublesome if his work unit notifies him.
He Yuzhu was terrified.
At noon, I went to see Jia Dongxu specifically for dinner in the cafeteria.
He Yuzhu's temperament was like this. He couldn't hide things or worry about them. He made up his mind and wanted to tell Jia Dongxu as soon as possible.
After all, in Shazhu's heart, he also regarded Jia Dongxu as a good neighbor and good brother.
"Brother Dongxu, I went to the ghost market today. Guess what?"
Jia Dongxu quickly looked around, his expression a little nervous.
In fact, when he got home and sobered up that night, he regretted telling He Yuzhu about buying food.
I wanted to slap myself in the mouth. I took two sips of wine, but I couldn't hold it back.
It just doesn't help now.
He really didn't expect that He Yuzhu actually made a special trip to the ghost market.
My heart is also warm.
"Zhuzi, keep your voice down."
Jia Dongxu reminded.
He Yuzhu always speaks in a hurry, and he can make a 'speech' if he is not careful.
"I understand. Brother Dongxu, I asked around today. Due to the policy turmoil some time ago, food prices have really risen. I really didn't expect..."
Jia Dongxu felt relieved.
"But, I don't think that person can get enough food for this week, so we have to wait."
He Yuzhu is a young man in his twenties, and he has a good-natured character. Although he is trying to save face, he can use the topic to show off his abilities, which is also due to his nature.
"Ah? What did you find out?"
"The ghost market has been severely inspected this week, and most of the food supplies from the other side are not available. Brother Dongxu, leave my words here. If you don't believe me, just watch and see if my brother is right."
"Well...it shouldn't be possible. We made an appointment for today last week..."
"Today?"
He Yuzhu's little eyes were rolling, he was very curious.
I also want to see this mysterious man with my own eyes.
"Uh... Zhuzi, this matter is related to my family's food problem. I really can't take you with me."
"Brother, I didn't ask you to take me with you. I'll just follow you from a distance. When you finish the transaction, I'll help you carry the bag. Is that okay?"
After thinking for a while, Jia Dongxu nodded hesitantly.
In my heart, I am indeed a bit embarrassed.
There will be two chapters tomorrow, 12 o'clock and 18 o'clock... I will adjust the update time this week. I want to see which time period is better for updating. Well, that's you need to update the time, you can also leave a message and I will refer to it. Thank you.
