Chapter 592: Just came back and now I have to rush back? This family can't accommodate trash
"Zhang Cuihua, 15 work points can be exchanged for 76 kilograms of food."
The accountant calculated meticulously, and then someone weighed out corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains according to the proportions and gave them to Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang was suspicious: "76 jin, is that too little? Others don't weigh this much."
The accountant glanced at it and said, "What's missing? It's all this number. You know whether the crops have been good or not these days. The autumn harvest was not good this year, so naturally there is less food."
"Besides, you only paid 15 centimeters, that's all. If you think it's too little, you can pay more centimeters."
These words left Jia Zhang speechless. She touched the money in her trouser pocket, hesitant.
Jia Zhang looked at the 76 kilograms of grain and thought it was not much, but if she was asked to get more, that would definitely not be possible.
In total, I brought about 30 yuan with me, and I received 15 yuan in compensation. I also spent a few yuan during this period, and I have to save some. I don't have much money left to squander.
"76 is 76. It's better than nothing." Jia Zhang took the food obediently and left.
As soon as Jia Zhang left, the accountant snorted coldly: "What a joke, you don't help during normal times, but only come during the autumn harvest to take advantage of the situation? It's not that easy."
The accountant told everyone blatantly, and everyone looked at Jia Zhang coldly.
The villagers looked at her coldly: "If she wasn't from our village, her household registration was still here, and she had received additional centimeters, she wouldn't have been able to take even a pound of food."
"That's right, there should be fewer people eating commercial grains."
Jia Zhang's amount was 2% less than that of the people in the village. After all, she was a city dweller. How could she compete with them for food when she ate commercial grain? The extra money was regarded as a contribution.
Jia Zhang returned home carrying food.
After living here for a while, my home has become more lively.
"Alas, I don't know if Dongxu will come to the countryside to pick me up. If he doesn't come back to pick me up, what should I do? This little bit of food is not enough."
76 kilograms is only enough for a family of five to get through 5 days, and she can survive for two or three months alone.
Jia Zhang put the food away and looked up into the distance, hoping to see Jia Dongxu.
"I'm so tired. I really want to go home."
Jia Zhang looked at her dark and rough hands. She was so tired from all the hard work during this period that she couldn't help but miss the good life in the city.
Although I have to get up early every day to do housework and serve Qin Huairu, it is better than working in the fields from morning to night.
In order to rush the harvest these two days, we have to go out to work even after dark. Every day I am so tired that I just lie down and sleep.
On the other side, the Jia family.
Qin Huairu asked Xu Damao about the autumn harvest.
"Dongxu, Xu Damao just came back and said that the autumn harvest in the countryside will be over in the next two days. Do you think we should bring mom back?"
As soon as Jia Dongxu came back, he heard Qin Huairu say this and hesitated for a while.
Although Jia Zhang is not likable, she is his mother after all, and he still cares about her safety.
"Okay, tomorrow is the National Day holiday, I'll go to the countryside to pick him up."
Qin Huairu nodded, but she still hadn't forgotten about sending Jia Zhang back to the countryside.
"By the way, when we pick up our mother, let's take a look to see if the grain has been harvested. We don't have any grain stored at home."
Just one sentence instantly brought Jia Dongxu back to reality. There was indeed not much food left at home.
It was all Jia Zhang's fault. Not only did she take the money away when she left, but she left him with little money to buy food. He also took many risks during this period and was almost caught.
For a moment, Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and wished he could eat Jia Zhang alive. He almost went to jail.
"Okay, I remember that." Jia Dongxu nodded, having made up his mind.
If Jia Zhang had no food, she would not be brought back and would be allowed to live alone in the countryside until her death.
the next day.
Early in the morning, when everyone was celebrating National Day, Jia Dongxu went back to the countryside and saw that Jia Zhang indeed had food, so he brought Jia Zhang back from the countryside.
When Jia Zhang returned to the city, she saw such a lively scene and thought it was a celebration of her return.
Jia Dongxu explained: "Mom, today is National Day, we have three days off. It's rare for everyone to have so many days off, so let's go out for a walk."
"Oh, so that's it, I forgot about it." Jia Zhang nodded, not very happy.
"Let's go now. I haven't been home for a long time. A lot has changed. I don't know how things are going at home. Does Bang Geng miss me?"
Jia Zhang carried two bags and walked towards the courtyard, followed closely by Jia Dongxu who also carried a large bag.
"I'm finally back."
Jia Zhang was very excited when she looked at the courtyard in her memory and ran inside.
He ran and yelled, "Hey guys, I'm back!"
When everyone in the yard heard the noise, they all came out and saw Jia Zhang, who looked like a madman.
"Jia Zhang is actually back? How could it be possible?"
"Alas, our yard finally calmed down, but now it's going to get noisy again."
"Look at Jia Zhang. It's only been half a month and she has changed so much. She's thinner and darker."
Everyone pointed and saw Jia Zhang coming back with two bags, one bag was food and the other bag was actually local specialties.
"Auntie Jia, you are finally back. Look at you, you are thinner and darker. You must have suffered a lot in the countryside, right?"
"Yeah, look at this hand, it's so rough. It's good that you're back. Now you don't have to be so tired."
"Yes, yes, it's better to be in the city. There's no wind or rain. You won't suffer in the city."
Jia Zhang looked at everyone with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect that she would be so popular.
"Thank you, thank you everyone. I miss you all too. Life in the countryside is so hard. I have to get up before dawn every day to light the fire and cook."
"It's a long day of work. The autumn harvest these days is really tiring. I work from morning till night and fall asleep as soon as I'm tired."
Jia Zhang took the opportunity to complain and tell everyone about her difficult experiences.
"Come here, Aunt Jia, let me give you a hand." Someone kindly reached out to help carry it.
Jia Zhang was so frightened that she immediately pulled the food back and put it beside her, looking at her fiercely: "Don't touch my food, get out of the way!"
This shout startled everyone and they were all wondering why Jia Zhang had such a big reaction.
Could it be that Jia Zhang's temperament changed drastically after being bitten by the dog? If she was bitten, and it bites them again, there will be no hope for her.
For a moment, there was no one around Jia Zhang.
"Hmph! You're planning to take advantage of me? That's wishful thinking!" Jia Zhang left with the grain and local specialties.
When he entered the middle courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu busy at work, and his face suddenly turned dark.
But when he saw that her belly had grown a lot, his complexion improved again.
"Mom, you're back." Qin Huairu pretended to be surprised, wiped her hands and came to pick her up immediately.
"Yeah, my belly is big."
"It's a lot bigger, look." Qin Huairu turned sideways to show her bulging belly.
"Good." Jia Zhang was very satisfied when she saw it.
Qin Huairu reached out to help carry it, but Jia Zhang dodged to the side and prevented her from taking it, which made Qin Huairu's face change immediately, but then changed back to normal in an instant.
"Mom, come in and sit down and see what's changed at home?"
Jia Zhang came in carrying a bag and looked at the changes in the house.
"When did our house have so many new things?" Jia Zhang looked at the pots, pans, and utensils in the house with curiosity.
Qin Huairu insinuated, "It wasn't that long ago. It was two or three days after you left. All the things were taken away. Without these things, nothing can be done. We can only buy new ones."
"It's like the old goes away before the new comes. It's true. These new ones are really good. They are very comfortable to use. Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use them."
Jia Zhang was about to get angry and say something like, "I am suffering in the countryside while you are enjoying life in the city. Is this what a daughter-in-law should do?"
After hearing what happened next, I could only smile bitterly and dare not say anything.
Qin Huairu deliberately mentioned: "Hey, mom, why don't you bring those things back when you come back? It's not a big deal to leave them in the countryside. Bringing them back will give you one more at home."
Jia Zhang smiled awkwardly: "It would be so inconvenient to bring it back. Besides, the family doesn't need another one. Just keep it. I will use the new one, too."
Jia Zhang didn't dare to tell the truth. She was prepared for the possibility of disaster. If she was driven back to the countryside, she wouldn't have to take it anymore, which would be a relief. Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's twitching face and knew that she didn't tell the truth, but she didn't care.
I've been using it for a long time, it would be great to be able to get a new one.
Jia Zhang changed the subject and said to Bang Geng: "Bang Geng, do you miss your grandma?"
Bang Geng looked up at Jia Zhangshi, then at Qin Huairu, waiting for her to speak.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but nod in her heart. She had done a great job in training Jia Zhang during the time she was away.
"Grandma is talking to you, why don't you answer?"
Bang Geng then looked at Jia Zhangshi and said, "I do. I really do."
"Oh, my dear grandson is so great. Grandma's love for you is not in vain." Jia Zhang laughed with relief and pretended to ignore what had just happened.
Jia Zhang picked up Bang Geng and kissed him a few times. Bang Geng wiped his saliva in disgust.
"Grandma, did you bring anything delicious?"
Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, I brought some local specialties from the countryside, wild mushrooms and wild vegetables, they are delicious."
"There's no meat." Bang Geng muttered to himself, and immediately lost interest and left.
This immediately left Jia Zhang at a loss as to what to do.
"You kid, your grandma finally came back from the countryside, why do you always want to eat meat? What did I teach you?"
Qin Huairu scolded the child with her mouth and pretended to hit him.
"Oh mom, Banggeng is still young and doesn't know anything. Don't bother with him. I don't know who he learned this from, but he didn't learn it well at all."
Jia Zhang agreed with a wry smile: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it."
How can you be so serious with your own grandson? If you care about these trivial matters, what will you do if your grandson doesn't support you in the future?
Having suffered enough in the countryside, Jia Zhang didn't want to go back anymore as life there was too hard.
"Oh, look at my memory. Mom, you must be hungry after just coming back. The food is still hot on the stove. I'll bring it to you."
Having said that, she immediately went to the kitchen to bring back some hot rice and dishes. Jia Zhang's eyes lit up as she looked at the greasy food.
In the countryside, we eat boiled vegetables every day, without any oil or water in our stomachs.
He immediately ate with a slurp, not caring about his image at all.
Qin Huairu looked at the two bags placed aside, and then she had time to open them and take a look.
"Don't move!" Jia Zhang suddenly shouted and immediately protected her food.
"This is my food, no one is allowed to touch it."
Seeing how protective Jia Zhang was of her child, Qin Huairu couldn't help but blush.
"Huff~ I'm finally back." Jia Dongxu finally returned home, panting heavily.
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu. Now that everyone was present, it was time to talk.
"Bang Geng, take your sister out to play."
Seeing Qin Huairu's serious expression, Banggeng decisively pulled Xiaodang out and did not forget to close the door.
Qin Huairu took off her apron, stepped aside and sat on the stool.
"Mom, now that you're back, you're a part of this family. Some of the words I'm going to say may be hurtful, but I have to say it now. If you don't consider yourself a part of this family, you can go back now."
"Don't even think about it! I finally got back, don't try to drive me back."
Jia Zhang always felt upset when she thought about how she was sent back so easily. She thought that if she just stayed a little longer, everything would be fine.
This is the first time I’ve been kicked out. I have no experience, and it won’t happen again.
Seeing the serious atmosphere, Jia Dongxu knew what Qin Huairu wanted to do, so he sat down immediately to let her take charge.
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang sternly and said, "Mom, since you are back, you should talk about some things earlier, so that you won't blame me, your daughter-in-law, for being nagging."
Ah!
Jia Zhang couldn't help swallowing her saliva and looked at the two men nervously. She was frightened in her heart. Was this a show of power to her?
He immediately slammed the table and shouted, "You want to scare me? I'm a scare-taker, I'm not afraid of being scared!"
Qin Huairu didn't respond, and went straight to the point: "Mom, when you returned home, did you bring a normal amount of food and half of the money from home?"
"Yes, I brought it. How could that be?" At this point, even though the money had been spent, Jia Zhang was not afraid and said with her neck stiff.
Qin Huairu shouted, "What's the matter? Do you know that because of what you did, your family almost starved to death? Not only did you take the money, but you also took the food away."
"There are four people in our family, and that little food can't last for a few days. We almost starved to death. This is what you did!"
Jia Zhang was stunned, unable to believe that she had made such a big mistake and almost starved her entire family to death.
But then I immediately realized, aren’t they all alive and well?
"You're trying to scare me. You're not here in front of me. Don't try to trick me!"
Qin Huairu said coldly: "Humph, if we hadn't begged everyone to lend us food, you would have come back to prepare the feast for us."
Qin Huairu pointed at the food and local specialties she brought back.
"Mom, you said that the food belongs to you, not the family. Well, I'll ask Dongxu to find a house for you, and you'll live alone from now on."
"You will have to take care of your food, clothing and other necessities by yourself in the future. There are so many people in our family, so many mouths to feed, the rations are simply not enough."
"Since you want to guard your own food, then you should find a way to get food for yourself in the future. At least it will be one less person and one less burden for the family."
As soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, Jia Dongxu immediately agreed and nodded: "That's right."
As the head of the family, he didn't know how much more relieved he would be if there was one less person to feed.
Jia Zhang immediately objected: "No! I belong to this family, I won't move out."
Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Okay, you can take care of the family yourself, and our family of four will go out and find a house to live in."
Jia Zhang objected again, "No! You won't move out!"
She came here to enjoy life, and although she had to work, she didn't want to be alone.
Qin Huairu treated him coldly: "Mom, what do you want? This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Life at home is already difficult, and you don't even give us food."
"You are so selfish, why do you need us? Aren't you fine on your own?"
"I think you should go back to the countryside. There's no extra food at home to feed the waste."
Qin Huairu's words struck Jia Zhang's fragile heart. She had finally returned, but now she was going to be driven back to the countryside?
Jia Zhang looked at the food she had brought, and then looked at her home.
Comparing the two, a judgment is made.
She is an old woman, what can she do? She can only rely on this price.
"I, I." Jia Zhang's mouth twitched and she could hardly respond.
But in the end, he had to agree: "I promise, I will hand over the grain to my family."
Hearing that Jia Zhang admitted her submission, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu looked at each other and smiled.
With these foods, the family will be much better off and no longer have to suffer from hunger and fullness.
Qin Huairu immediately persuaded her softly, "Mom, don't blame us for our harsh words just now. Dongxu and I are doing this for this family."
"Yes, mom, you don't know how miserable we have been these days. We are hungry one day and full the next. We are really scared of starvation."
Jia Zhang looked at the two men doubtfully.
Jia Dongxu said solemnly: "Mom, if you don't believe me, ask everyone, which family was willing to lend us food at that time? No one."
"You don't believe it, right? Dongxu, take out all the IOUs."
Immediately, Jia Dongxu took out a pile of IOUs from the drawer.
They all owed food to everyone in the yard. Each family borrowed not much, just a few taels per pound, but they had to pay back double the amount they borrowed.
"If it wasn't for the double payment, no one would be willing to pay, and our family of four would starve to death."
After seeing the financial difficulties, Jia Zhang trembled as she held the IOU. She almost ruined this family. She was really a sinner.
What if a person dies and there is no one to take care of him in his old age?
Looking at the food I brought with me, I was glad I did.
Looking at the food, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were finally able to spend some time in peace.
