1014. Food problems

"Sister Hu, I have to discuss this with him," Yang Xiaojin said with a smile. After all, it is still the same whether Ren Xiaosu wants to go or not. She has to ask Ren Xiaosu himself for his intention.

Sister Hu was anxious: "What do you discuss with him? Just look at his lazy behavior. If you can go, there will be ghosts! So don't discuss with him. Just chase him directly. Let me tell you, men are so virtuous, spend time when they were young, and my family didn't do their jobs when they were young, and they knew that they were hiding in school to teach day by day. After Zong was knocked down, I chased him to go to the Northwest Army to recommend themselves. Look, isn't you doing it well now?"

"No, Sister Hu," Yang Xiaojin smiled and shook her head: "My family is very independent, I can't persuade him. Let me tell you, give me three days to consider, will it be successful? But no matter what, I thank you for being so enthusiastic about helping this."

"Okay," Sister Hu sighed, "I'm just afraid that he will delay you."

After saying that, Sister Hu went home, Yang Xiaojin suddenly felt that this place was more homely. Not only did she make money, but she also had a variety of neighbors. The aunts and old ladies talked about family matters, and there was also the sound of mahjong not far away.

There are coal balls piled up at the door of every household. If someone is stolen, the person who is in the morning will scold the thief at the door of his house.

Of course, there are fewer things like throwing coal balls, otherwise everyone might have moved all the coal balls into the backyard.

In Yang Xiaojin's opinion, all this is humane.

Yang Xiaojin returned to the house and said to Ren Xiaosu: "Sister Hu introduced you to a temporary job in the administrative center. Will you go?"

Ren Xiaosu was amused and crying: "Why am I going there? The administrative center is the place where I handle the procedures for residents. I have never done such a thing."

"It's up to you. Anyway, I told her to consider it for three days. If you want to go, I'll just refuse her in three days." Yang Xiaojin smiled and said, "But I think it's good to go to the administrative center to work. In this way, I'll be considered a person with a backer in the barriers. I'll be very decent when chatting with the aunt and sister."

"Okay, you'll make fun of people too," Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "But I think you have a lot more smiles after coming to the Northwest than before."

...

The two of them still get up early every day to sell potatoes at the vegetable market. At first, the potatoes sold by Yang Xiaojin were cheaper than other vegetable stalls, and they just hoped that they would sell faster. As a result, Ren Xiaosu told her not to do this.

Because this kind of living is a kind of experience for them, but for other stall owners, it is a business to support their families.

The stall owners worked hard to transport vegetables from the wholesale market. Just riding a tricycle was enough to make a lot of money, and they couldn't make much money in a day.

Their family also has wives and children waiting for dinner, and their children's tuition fees are saved from this dime.

If Yang Xiaojin interferes with other people's normal business because of her own interests and hobbies, it is actually not good.

Yang Xiaojin is not a person who doesn’t listen to the advice, so when selling potatoes in the future, it will be more expensive than other stalls.

When Yang Xiaojin returned home at night, she sighed: "Although I have experienced very hard days, it is all for honing my will. Now I am really beginning to understand the worldly ways."

When selling vegetables during the day, Ren Xiaosu stopped reading books and just wandered around the vegetable market.

The stall owners looked at him for no reason, not knowing what he was wandering around.

Ren Xiaosu asked about the price of vegetables and meat in front of each stall, and went to the grain and oil store to ask about the price of rice and flour. Anyway, he just wandered around and looked like he had nothing to do.

However, when Yang Xiaojin closed the stall, he would buy some vegetables and meat, but he would choose the best ones to buy, and the best ones were often the most expensive.

In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, there is no need to feel wronged now. He has to sleep in the open when the marching and war. If he doesn't eat well, when will he wait for him to eat?

However, in the eyes of other stall owners, Ren Xiaosu is a complete prodigal son. After all, you are a person who relies on his wife to sell potatoes to support your family. Why should you eat so well?

I'm afraid I'm going to eat all the money I have to sell potatoes every day?! Don't you save money? What if you have a child in the future?

On the third day, Ren Xiaosu frowned and returned to the stall and whispered to Yang Xiaojin: "Did you notice that the price in this vegetable market is the same every day. Yesterday, beans were only 20 cents, but today it was 20 cents. This is just vegetables. The price of rice and flour is even more exaggerated. Yesterday, it was 1 yuan per catty, but today it was 1 yuan. Although the price fluctuation in this market is normal, it has been rising for several consecutive days, so there are problems. I think the problem of food shortage is getting worse and worse."

"Then you said that if there is a grain shortage in the northwest, can you buy some food from Wang?" Yang Xiaojin asked.

"I don't think so. You know how cruel the Wang family is. The fact that they would kill fire during the war is vivid in my mind. A large number of refugees fleeing south were indifferent. How could they disrupt their plans because of such trivial matters?" Ren Xiaosu said: "But it's okay. I still have a way at that time."

Although the method may not be the best, at least it can ensure that people cannot starve to death in the northwest.

Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu seriously and thought, perhaps others thought Ren Xiaosu was wandering around aimlessly, but she knew that Ren Xiaosu had already taken the role of the young marshal of the Northwest at this time and began to think about how to solve the current problem.

"By the way," Yang Xiaojin suddenly said: "It's time to reply to Sister Hu today, are you going to work?"

"Go," Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "I'll also go and see how the Barrier Administrative Center operates."

In the past, Ren Xiaosu did not have much intersection with the so-called barrier administrative center. There may have been one or two times, but he accidentally exploded a certain barrier administrative center, or passed by the roof of a certain barrier administrative center...

He lived in the barrier for a short time and did not know much about the operating mechanism of the barrier. For example, the transfer of house deeds in the market town is just a verbal transaction. Sometimes there will be cases where people force others to occupy houses. There is no such thing as a house deed, and the barrier does not recognize the legality of property rights in the market town.

Also, recently, Sister Hu asked them when they got married. No one asked this in the market town. Even if the man and woman live together, they don’t have to ask anyone to apply for a certificate...

This made Ren Xiaosu feel that he still needed to understand this place carefully, because he might have to spend the second half of his life in the northwest.
