Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Wang's wife didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

I just reminded Wang Dong and didn't make any requests, but the other party actually offered to help me get some food and pork, and even bought them at the price of Pigeon City a year ago.

This is definitely something that is impossible to achieve even if it falls from the sky.

Nowadays, the price of two pieces of flour in the pigeon market has skyrocketed to more than ten times what it was a year ago, and there is still no demand.

The price of pork, which is unaffordable even with money, has skyrocketed to more than twenty times what it was a year ago.

Wang Dong offered 10.2 jin of flour and 2 jin of bacon, and he sold them at the price that the pigeon market sold at a year ago, which was equivalent to giving the Wang family dozens of dollars for free.

The excitement in my heart was simply indescribable, so I quickly replied: "Thank you Dongzi..."

"I really don't know how to thank you."

Wang Dong shook his head and replied, "Sister-in-law Wang... you heard that Jia Zhang went to the street to report me, and you thought of telling us in advance. We should thank you."

"Although I, Wang Dongxing, am upright and have not done anything illegal, it would still cause a lot of trouble if someone wanted to wrongly accuse me."

"With your reminder, we can prepare in advance. Even if Jia Zhang pulls the street to the courtyard, I can deal with it easily."

"And I bought those things for my nephews."

"Seeing them go hungry every day, I, as an uncle, feel bad for them."

"Even if we don't expect them to grow as strong as terriers, at least they won't go hungry in the future."

"I'm the deputy director of the kitchen. I know a few of the factory's purchasers. Even if I can't buy more food, I can still buy a few kilograms."

"If you need anything in the future, you can ask Brother Wang to come to me. I will definitely help if I can."

Wang's wife became even more excited, patting her chest and assuring Wang Dong: "Dongzi..."

"I know that the Second Master of the Central Courtyard, Shazhu, and the Jia family are not on good terms with you..."

"My sister-in-law doesn't go to work and stays at home every day."

"I will help you keep an eye on them from now on..."

"As long as they do something to let you down, they will definitely come and tell you as soon as possible, so that you won't suffer any harm from them."

Seeing Wang's daughter-in-law leaving the front yard with excitement on her face, Chen Dehui immediately expressed his concerns: "Dongzi...did you give Wang's daughter-in-law too much..."

Wang Dong did not comment: "Uncle..."

“It’s a bit much for the value.”

“But I think it’s worth it.”

"The atmosphere outside is getting increasingly tense. We have a lot of food and bacon hidden in our house. If someone reports us, we will definitely be charged with speculation and profiteering, and we will definitely be paraded through the streets."

"You and your aunt are both old, and your legs and feet are not in good condition. You can't stand the hardship."

"Sister Jun is about to take the college entrance exam. She has a heavy workload and every second counts. She can't stand the stress."

"To avoid such accidents, I must be on high alert and keep an eye on those who may be at odds with us."

"Tang Dashan and Grandma Wang are watching the front yard, and my uncle and aunt also stay in the front yard every day. No one should do anything under our noses."

"Huang Longfei will help me watch the backyard. He will tell me immediately if anything happens."

"Now only the middle courtyard is empty."

"Besides, most of the residents in the middle courtyard are not on good terms with us, so it is particularly important to keep an eye on them."

"Sister-in-law Wang works diligently, never cheats, and doesn't like to take advantage of others." "If she is willing to help us keep an eye on the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai, we will definitely be in less danger."

"I am now the deputy director of the kitchen at the steel mill and a close confidant of Deputy Director Li. Every month, Deputy Director Li will take 15 kilograms of game and pork from the supplies sent from the Northeast and sell them to me at normal prices."

"So for me, the things I gave to Sister-in-law Wang are not worth much, but they can allow Sister-in-law Wang to be our eyes in the middle courtyard."

"In this regard, I don't think my family has suffered any loss. I even think I have made a lot of money."

Wang Dong had one more thing to say.

After the New Year, the shortage of materials in the city will be alleviated and the prices in the pigeon market will gradually decrease.

The next few months were the craziest period of soaring prices in the pigeon market.

Wang Dong must seize the last bit of time to sell all the white flour and bacon stored at home and exchange them for small yellow croaker and big croaker, which are more valuable.

If Yi Zhonghai and the others were watching me every day, I would definitely not be able to ship the goods normally.

If they report us, we will most likely lose both our people and our goods, and it may even affect the safety of Uncle Chen and Sister Jun.

If there was someone in the Intermediate Court to help him keep an eye on Yi Zhonghai and the others, then the risk of him being targeted and reported would be minimized.

After a few months, when Wang Dong had cleared out all the grain and bacon in his home, he was no longer afraid of Yi Zhonghai's report.

Wang Dong wouldn't worry even if someone came to his house to search it.

Compared with one or two thousand kilograms of flour and bacon, gold worth tens of thousands of yuan and great unity are obviously easier to hide.

Put it in a waterproof box and bury it in the ground. Unless the people who come to confiscate the house dig three feet deep, they will never find the wealth.

Uncle Chen nodded and continued, "Dongzi, since you have your own ideas, I won't say much..."

"Jia Zhang went to the street office to report us. If the street office takes it seriously, someone will come to our house in half an hour at most..."

"There are still several pieces of bacon and fish hanging in the yard. Dongzi, quickly put them in the cellar and hide them."

"Nowadays, most people don't even have enough food to eat, but we have pork to eat. If this gets out, it will be bad for our reputation."

Wang Dong shook his head and refused: "Uncle Chen..."

"We really can't hide the few pieces of bacon and fish in the yard."

"The Jia family is just across the wall from us. She must be able to smell the meat we eat."

"If the street and Jia Zhang didn't see the bacon and fish at home and clamored for a house search, they would definitely find the cellar, and then they would suffer a great loss."

"The best way to break the deadlock is to let them see the cured meat and fish at home."

"I am now a level 7 chef at the steel mill. Usually, the people who ask me to cook are all leaders and cadres. Not only do they have plenty of food at home, they even have plenty of meat."

"When I go to cook for others, I can always bring back some meat and fish."

"That makes sense."

"In the yard, we should not only hang bacon and fish, but also two bacon chickens."

"Seeing these cured meats and chickens, and explaining Laiyuan clearly, Jia Zhang and the street office will have no reason to raid our house."

"As for the radio ticket... that was a reward from the factory. Many factory leaders know about it. It can withstand any investigation."

Chen Dehui's face immediately flashed with a look of sudden enlightenment, and then he continued: "You are more thoughtful than me, let's do it." (End of this chapter)
