Chapter 1360 Teaching a Son

Qin Huairu was angry that Jia Zhang suspected her, so she went to tinker with the sewing machine with a sullen face, and didn't want to talk to her mother-in-law.

Jia Zhang knew she was in the wrong, but she didn't care. She was the elder, and it was impossible for her to apologize to her daughter-in-law. She snorted coldly and went to cook.

It was called cooking, but in fact it was just to light a fire and boil water, and then cook porridge with corn stubble. The steamed bread had been prepared long ago, and it was enough to heat it up.

It was simple.

After a while, the three children came back together.

There was no overnight hatred between children. Banggeng and his two sisters talked and laughed, and the previous conflicts had long been forgotten.

"Mom. I want to eat bean root candy!" Xiao Huaihua was still thinking about her delicious food, and ran to Qin Huairu and yelled as soon as she came in.

"Go away, don't you see that mom is busy?" Qin Huairu said impatiently, "I can't forget your bean root candy. I will definitely buy it for you when I get home from get off work tomorrow! Don't worry!"

"Ah? Tomorrow?" Little Sophora japonica looked disappointed, "Mom, Sophora japonica is not nutritious today, it's too late tomorrow."

Even though Qin Huairu was in a bad mood, she was amused by this little cutie. She couldn't help pinching her face and kissing her on the face, saying lovingly: "Mom will kiss you and you will have nutrition today, dear Sophora japonica, mom promised to buy it for you tomorrow, and she will definitely buy it for you."

"Okay then." Little Sophora japonica reluctantly agreed, but pouted and was still unhappy.

"Mom, is this our new quilt?" Xiaodang is a little girl who is very interested in fabrics. As soon as she comes back, she touches and pinches here and there, and everything she sees is new. "Mom, this fabric feels so comfortable, soft and fluffy."

"You are quite knowledgeable." Qin Huairu felt better, and a smile appeared on her face. "We can't afford such good fabrics. The meal will be ready in a while. Come, help mom cut the cloth."

"Okay!" Xiaodang came running over, "Mom, who is this for? Is it the uncle who just moved in?"

On the other side, Banggeng was lifting the lid of the pot and rummaging through the cupboard, complaining about eating corn stubble porridge and steamed bread again. Jia Zhang smiled and comforted him: "Wait for your silly uncle to come back and see if he has brought back a lunch box."

Banggeng was about to speak when he heard Xiaodang asking his mother, and immediately pricked up his ears and looked over.

Qin Huairu didn't notice Banggeng's reaction, and smiled and said, "Yes, it's him. When you see him in the future, call him Uncle Yuanchao, be polite."

Just as Xiaodang was about to reply, Banggeng suddenly rushed over like crazy, snatched the cloth from Qin Huairu's hand and threw it to the ground, then turned back and kicked over the stool, shaking the cotton cover on it all over the floor.

"I don't allow you to sew a quilt for him!" Banggeng roared with his eyes wide open like a calf, "He bullied me, mom, you are not allowed to do it for him!"

Banggeng's behavior was so abrupt that no one reacted. Everyone in the family was stunned, and his two sisters were even more frightened.

Qin Huairu was the first to react, and her anger "swooped" up, and her face turned livid in an instant.

Without saying a word, she raised the wooden ruler used to measure the cloth and slapped Banggeng's butt hard a few times.

Banggeng screamed in pain and cried out loudly.

"Why are you hitting the child!" Jia Zhang finally reacted and pulled the stick behind her, "If you have something to say, just say it. You can't just hit me!" "Mom, get out of the way!" Qin Huairu's eyebrows were raised, "I must beat this bear to death today! It's so rebellious, it's like a house with tiles if it's not beaten for three days! If it weren't for you, would the 50 cents have been earned by the third aunt? You almost missed the 1.5 yuan for transporting goods! I don't know who this little kid learned this greedy thing from, and now he's yelling at your mother! Don't allow it? Who do you think you are to be your mother's boss? It's not your turn to be the head of this family now!" "Hey, hey, hey! Don't use the child to speak for me!" Jia Zhang was unhappy, "If the child feels wronged, let him vent it out Well..."

"Mom, can you stop stopping me from disciplining my child?" Qin Huairu stamped her feet in anger, "You always protect him, and you see how Banggeng has become! He doesn't know the seriousness of the matter! If he destroys this cloth, can our family afford the compensation!"

"It's not that easy to destroy..." Jia Zhang muttered, and turned back to the sobbing Banggeng and said, "You too, what can't you talk to your mother about? Look how angry you are to your mother, your mother is also for your own good..."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said with a slightly relieved expression: "Su Yuanchao said that these cloths will be used to make two sets of bedding for him, and I will make two sets of autumn clothes and trousers for him, and the rest will be given to us!"

Jia Zhang's eyes widened immediately, and both of her eyeballs were shining.

"You said you'd give me all the rest?" Her voice changed, revealing excitement. "Oh, Mom, have you measured it? How much is this roll of cloth?"

"I just measured it. It's 22 meters in total!" Qin Huairu said unhappily, "I calculated that after making two sets of bedding and two sets of autumn clothes, there are still more than four meters of cloth left, plus some scraps of cloth, which is enough to make a set of clothes for each of the three children! I risked my face to play tricks with a young man for this family, and when I came back, you accused me of being shameless. Who can I complain to?"

"Oh, this... Didn't Mom understand the situation?" Jia Zhang smiled happily, counted quickly with her fingers, and grabbed Qin Huairu's arm and said hurriedly: "Huairu, use this cloth sparingly, at least you can spare one more meter!"

"Don't cut corners, Mom!" Qin Huairu frowned and said, "We have been getting along with people for a long time. We can't deal with people too much the first time. If we make people disgusted, we won't do it the next time! Let me tell you, this college student just One month's salary in the factory is 49 yuan and 50 cents, and after one year you get more than 60 yuan when you become a full-time employee. They are not short of money, as you can see, and they are generous. From now on, if there is any leakage between their fingers, they can help us. A little bit home.”

"I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you!" Jia Zhang said immediately, "You're smarter than me, so you can make the decision on this matter, you're right!"

After a pause, he rubbed Banggeng's head happily and said: "Banggeng, the cloth you threw on the ground is our family's cloth, your new clothes for the Chinese New Year! Silly boy, how could you throw your new clothes on the ground? You are dumbfounded. Right? Haha..."

Banggeng looked at his grandma and then his mother. Knowing that he had lost his biggest supporter, he immediately became calm and did not dare to speak anymore.

Jia Zhang thought for a while and then said: "Huairu, that's what I think. The remaining cloth will be used to make two sets of clothes for Banggeng, one for spring and autumn, and one for winter. Xiaodang Hei Sophora japonica is still young, wait two years..."

"Mom, I can't listen to you on this matter!" Qin Huairu interrupted her, "Xiao Dang and Huaihua have been picking up leftovers and wearing them since they were born. They have never worn new materials since they were mended. . In the past, we didn’t have the conditions, but now that we have this opportunity, you can’t just think about your grandson!”

"Grandma, I want to wear new clothes!" Xiao Dang immediately shouted anxiously after understanding what the adults were saying.

"I want it too! I want it too!" Little Sophora Flower doesn't understand yet, but her sister wants it.

Jia Zhang smiled coquettishly and said: "Isn't it enough for ordinary people to raise daughters with food and clothing? They are all raised by other people's families. Do you think whose daughter is not like this? Our family is like this, so don't be so delicate. ...Besides, it would be a pity to make such good fabrics for them.”

"You, even if I ask Potian today, I will make a set of clothes for each of the three children!" Qin Huairu said angrily, "You are not so partial. Xiaodang and Huaihua are not your biological granddaughters? Are you? You should love them more!"

"It hurts, why don't I feel pain?" Mrs. Jia Zhang touched Xiaodang's head, then looked at Xiaohuaihua who blinked and looked up at her. Her heart suddenly softened and she sighed: "Okay, okay, do it! Whose family is having a bad year?”

"Hey, that's pretty much it!" Qin Huairu smiled happily, "If there is still rich cloth, I will make a small one for you."

"I don't want it!" Ms. Jia Zhang waved her hands hurriedly, "I'm half buried in the ground. It's a waste to give me clothes. If you want to be rich, you can make my grandson a pair of trousers and sew on a pair of socks."

"Just spoil him!" Qin Huairu glared at the stick, pointed at him and said: "It was your grandma who saved you today, otherwise I would have to spread your ass open! But I can tell you, you If you continue to behave like this, even if your grandma protects you, I will give you a good beating! If you don’t believe me, just give it a try!”

"Tell your mother, you won't dare to do it next time!" Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly poked the stick twice.

"Mom, I won't dare next time..." Banggeng muttered.

Qin Huairu then gave up and took Xiaodang to pick up the cotton cover on the ground, dusted off the dust, and continued cutting cloth.

The little Sophora japonica looked interesting and came close to make trouble.

Seeing that the three people there were not paying attention, Mrs. Jia Zhang secretly gave Banggeng two cents and said in a low voice: "Don't let your mother and your two sisters know about it. Use it to buy delicious food! Don't be afraid, dear grandson, there are Grandma is here, your mother doesn’t dare to do anything to you..."

BangGeng happily put away the money.

other side.

Su Yi was very efficient and quickly arranged everything in the house neatly.

There is a bedroom and study room inside, and a living room, dining room and kitchen outside.

Thirty-six legs are still a bit crude. Su Yi thought that he still lacked a bookcase, two bedside tables, a coffee table and a sofa...

There is also a saying in this era called "three turns and one ring". The three turns are bicycles, sewing machines and watches, and the first ring is the radio.

These items are considered necessities, and Su Yi plans to have them all ready.

"Inspecting" his new home, Su Yi felt like he was playing a business strategy game. He was looking forward to making this simple home more and more beautiful step by step.

Considering that he has to live in this world for a long time, Su Yi feels that he cannot completely mess up and waste his time.

Although it cannot cultivate the body, it can arm the mind.

Su Yi decided to spend more than ten years or even decades studying.

He secretly arranged a study plan for himself, starting with philosophy, and gradually dabbling in Chinese studies, Buddhist and Taoist classics, medicine, and then science and chemical engineering to recharge his batteries.

Soon this country will usher in a special decade. Su Yi has no intention of changing anything, but he also doesn't want to be affected by the current situation or even be hurt.

"Take root at the bottom" is a good strategy. With Su Yuanchao's background and status, he can be regarded as a well-established young man with nothing to worry about. Therefore, as long as he adheres to the word "low-key", he can survive this turbulent era safely. .

But you have to buy books early. Things will change in China in three months, and the only books you can buy will probably be red books.

Before it was too late, Su Yi decided to buy all the books he would read in the next ten years in the past three months.

This requires a lot of money. Su Yi only has about forty yuan left on him now, and he also has to buy firewood and grain, which is obviously not enough.

But money is not a big deal, what matters is books and a place to put them.

“Book collection” is also a big trouble for Su Yi. If he is not careful, it will be used by villains and cause trouble.

Su Yi is afraid of trouble, so he has the idea of ​​creating a secret book collection place at home.

It is such a small place, if you want to keep it secret, you can only develop it underground.

Su Yi looked at the bottom of his bed thoughtfully, thinking that he should first look at the books on civil engineering and carpentry...

Within three months, he will build a secret underground library for himself that needs to be opened by a mechanism, which can also be regarded as a safe in his home.

Su Yi has always been a man of action, and he will do what he says. Seeing that it is not too late, he immediately went out and went straight to the largest bookstore in Beijing.

This time, in addition to buying books, he also planned to come back after eating.

The door was not locked, not because Su Yi forgot or trusted his neighbors, but because he did not buy a lock.

This time, he went out and solved this matter by the way.

Regardless of whether other families have the habit of locking their doors, Su Yi is used to locking the door when no one is at home.

Banggeng is known as the thief saint, and he is not kidding. Su Yi doesn't want his things to be patronized by this kid.

Shortly after Su Yili left, smoke rose from every household in the courtyard.

The workday was about to end, and the women at home began to cook to welcome the return of their husbands and children.

At this time, looking at the entire capital, the streets were full of people returning home from get off work.

Most of them walked, but there were also many people riding bicycles.

In the early years, in order to recover money and curb inflation, the state introduced a high-priced commodity policy. The bicycle that originally cost 120 or 30 yuan was sold for 600 yuan. According to the per capita income of the capital at that time, this was equivalent to an ordinary person spending five years of savings to buy a bicycle today.

It was ridiculously expensive.

But even so, it could not stop the enthusiasm of Beijing citizens to buy bicycles, especially after the state adjusted the high-price policy last year, the price of bicycles dropped significantly to an average of about 160 yuan, and Beijing people ushered in "retaliatory consumption". For a time, bicycles were everywhere in the entire capital.

On average, one in ten households owns a bicycle.

What surprised the residents in the courtyard was that the first and only bicycle in the courtyard was actually bought by the most stingy uncle in the courtyard, "Old Man Yan" Yan Fugui!

When the uncle pushed the new bicycle into the courtyard, everyone was shocked.
