Chapter 190 Liu Haizhong's Wife Cries
"Discount coupons? What the hell are you dreaming of?"
Looking at Yan Bugui's shining eyes, He Daqing was speechless.
This Yan Bugui, it's already this late and he's still thinking about something.
In the past two years, because Yan Bugui helped with literacy, the civilian canteen issued a lot of discount coupons, but this guy was used to being stingy, so he sold them to other people.
Now that food prices have risen, discount coupons for civilian canteens are, to some extent, much more valuable than before!
However, food costs are increasing across the country. Although most of the ingredients for the civilian canteen are supplied by He Daqing, he cannot lower the price rashly. If he continues to issue discount coupons, their canteen will probably be hit by the flood soon and will not be able to operate normally.
"Oh, I just asked you that question and you pretended you didn't hear me. I know it's difficult now!"
Hearing this, Yan Bugui scratched his head embarrassedly, apologized to He Daqing, and walked back to his room in embarrassment.
Although Yan Bugui’s income has increased a lot now, he has many children in his family, and they are all in the growing stage.
As the saying goes, the grown-ups are the ones who eat the most. The children are bigger eaters than the others. Even though Yanbugui has a lot of discount coupons, they are reluctant to use them casually.
Moreover, this situation made Yan Bugui feel very insecure. God knew which would come first, tomorrow or an accident. Before everything became uncertain, Yan Bugui naturally had to continue to live frugally.
If Yan Bugui's family lives like this, one can imagine the living standards of other families in the compound at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
Because of the sudden increase in food prices, many families are reluctant to spend money on food and clothing and continue to live a tight life.
For example, Jia Zhang from the west room had three mouths to feed, and they all depended on her meager salary.
Fortunately, she found a job last year. Although it was a bit hard, at least she had an income. Otherwise, if she had encountered such a disaster year, she really didn’t know how her family would have survived.
Even so, facing the rising grain prices, Jia Zhang also felt a lot of pressure. Every day she held the stalks in her arms, looking sad, as if someone owed her dozens of yuan.
As for the east room, Tao Huilan's life was slightly better.
Thanks to He Daqing's advice, Tao Huilan purchased a lot of grain in advance. Later, when she heard that grain prices had risen, she made another round of purchases.
Anyway, there are only two people in their family and they don’t eat much together, so their life is not affected too much.
"Could this guy be able to tell fortunes?"
At this time, Tao Huilan was taking care of the children in the house. Looking at He Daqing outside the window, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Others may not know, but she knows clearly that before the food prices rose, He Daqing urged her time and again to stockpile food. As a result, now other families can't afford to buy food, but her family can still hold on for a few months.
If He Daqing hadn't reminded her, Tao Huilan really couldn't imagine how she would survive now!
The more Tao Huilan thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to her, but she couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she was too lazy to think about it anymore.
Anyway, this is how her life will be. As long as she follows He Daqing, her life will never get worse!
Seeing He Daqing enter the room, Tao Huilan withdrew her gaze and started to take care of Yi Miao in her arms again.
"Are you back? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"
At the same time, at He Daqing's home.
Seeing He Daqing coming in, Qin Huairu also came up with a plate of steamed buns, smiling.
"Look at the steamed buns I made. Aren't they delicious?"
Yes, other families may not even have corn flour to eat, but in He Daqing's family, they basically have white flour and rice for every meal.
There was no way. He Daqing had no shortage of food. He was used to eating fine grains, so how could he be accustomed to eating coarse corn flour?
"Let me try it!"
He Daqing blinked his eyes. Before he even washed his hands, Qin Huairu had already broken off a piece of steamed bun and fed it into his mouth.
"Don't mention it, it's not bad, your skills have improved a lot!"
He Daqing couldn't help but give Qin Huairu a thumbs up.
Well, he should praise his wife. He cooks at Fengze Garden every day and is almost tired of it. When he gets home, he really doesn't want to cook at all.
Fortunately, his wife is a virtuous woman. In the past two years, she would cook and eat with He Daqing whenever she had time.
Especially steamed buns.
When they first met, He Daqing took Qin Huairu into Fengze Garden, and Qin Huairu was attracted by the steamed buns there.
Since then, she has been dreaming of making such steamed buns. After continuous attempts, her skills have become more and more sophisticated.
"As long as it tastes good, I'm just afraid you don't like it, so I'll make two more dishes!"
Hearing the praise from chef He Daqing, Qin Huairu's face also showed joy.
Because prices have gone up a lot, their soy sauce factory has received fewer orders. Qin Huairu got off work early today, so the job of cooking fell on her.
Yes, in such a difficult time, He Daqing still thought about his family and sent two large bags of corn flour to his parents. Just for this reason, Qin Huairu had to perform well.
Putting herself in He Daqing's shoes, Qin Huairu was really touched by He Daqing's move.
"That's great, it looks like I'm going to enjoy myself today."
Upon hearing this, He Daqing laughed cheerfully, and lay down on the sofa at home like a big shot, quietly watching his wife busying around, feeling extremely happy.
The reason why I chose Qin Huairu was because of her virtuous character.
After a tiring day at work, you come home and find a woman taking care of you. Isn’t this the life every man dreams of?
But Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu are different.
Xu Huizhen was a workaholic and paid too little attention to the family, so He Daqing simply proposed to separate the family and let them go back to the backyard to cook and eat.
But in the end, Sha Zhuzi was destined to be a bootlicker, and He Yuzhu was responsible for cooking almost every day.
Alas, my stupid son is hopeless!
"Uncle, uncle, you have to make the decision for me!"
Just as He Daqing was enjoying himself leisurely, a familiar shout came from outside the door accompanied by hurried footsteps.
He Daqing frowned. Isn't this the daughter-in-law in the backyard with bangs? Why is she crying again?
He Daqing and Qin Huairu looked at each other and quickly covered the steamed buns with lids, even hiding the pork belly that Qin Huairu had just cut.
There's no way. Nowadays, even if they eat well, it would be bad if others see them.
"What's the matter? Don't cry first, don't cry first!"
After doing all this smoothly, He Daqing took a quick step and walked out of the door before the woman came in.
I saw my daughter-in-law Sun Cuihua in Liu Haizhong, holding Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi, looking at me with tears and snot.
