She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 726 Returning favors

Sister Jin came over to remind Ye Shu: "Be careful, this guy named Chen in the backyard might cause trouble!"

Ye Shu: "Well, everyone, please pay attention."

When Huo Yisheng mentioned it last night, she guessed that there would definitely be people who would be jealous.

But Huo Yisheng was right. We should not live a miserable life just because others are jealous of us.

Escaping is not the fundamental way to solve the problem. The right thing to do is to find a way to get through these things!

Otherwise, the firewood is easy to deal with, as it must have been obtained from the countryside.

But what to do with this fish?

Because as long as the fish is cooked, there will definitely be a fragrant smell!

The taste of fish is indeed not as mellow and overbearing as that of meat, but it is also a meat dish after all.

Don’t underestimate the noses of people who haven’t eaten meat for a long time. Their sense of smell at this time is sharper than that of dogs!

So, there must be a clear path!

Early in the morning, three donkey carts loaded with firewood and one donkey cart loaded with fish arrived in Yard No. 2, causing quite a stir in the area.

Some people are curious, what is going on?

But none of them dared to ask the soldiers of the cyclist team!

It was so funny. Xiao Gao was riding on his horse and strolling around nearby, waiting for these people to come and ask him questions!

This way he can sell them frozen fish from the garrison!

They won’t have to envy Comrade Ye Shu’s fish anymore!

As a result, he waited and waited, turned and turned, back and forth for who knows how long!

No one came forward to question him!

what's up?

Could it be that these people don’t want to eat fish?

Frozen fish is not very attractive to them?

Can't?

Anyway, he couldn't figure it out.

Little did he know that, because he kept hanging around, everyone thought he was helping to patrol Yard No. 2 and kept watch, and they were so scared that they all hid themselves.

No one dared to talk loudly, and all the little thoughts in their hearts were kept secret.

After a while, two more donkey carts came to Yard No. 2, this time carrying coal.

It was also what Huo Yisheng agreed to yesterday, to transport coal to the four families.

The driver who came to deliver the goods brought an order form with the quantity and price detailed on it.

They are all smart people. When the order was handed out, everyone understood it.

Therefore, these two trucks of coal are what they really want to pool their money to buy.

Mrs. Jin reacted very quickly. She took the order and said to the coal deliveryman, "Then I'll settle it first! We'll settle it later!"

The coal quota is fixed. Every month, you are given a certain amount of coal. You can use as much as you can. If you exceed the quota, there will be no penalty.

But you still have to pay for it yourself.

Mrs. Jin's words meant that they also pooled money to buy it, which corresponded to what they did in the morning when they pooled money to buy frozen fish and firewood.

No one doubted it.

So, everyone spent almost the entire day tidying up the eaves.

When moving the coal, Zhao Jinhua came to help again and brought her son Zhang Junjun.

Ye Shu naturally didn't need her, so he declined.

Zhao Jinhua: "It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway. The child is idle anyway, so doing some work can also exercise the body. It's good."

Ye Shu always felt embarrassed even though others had helped him.

Especially in the afternoon when Sisi and Xiaowu were fussing over sleep, she went into the house to feed and coax the children, and Zhao Jinhua helped to move most of the coal outside.

In return, Ye Shu told her: "If you also want to eat frozen fish, you can go to the garrison to exchange it."

Of course Zhao Jinhua wanted to, but she was still a little surprised when she heard Ye Shu's words: "Go directly to the garrison area to change?"

Ye Shu nodded: "Yes, as far as I know, there should be a lot of frozen fish over there."

Zhao Jinhua was very interested and nodded quickly, then asked, "How do I exchange it? How much does it cost? Do I need meat tickets?"

"You don't need meat tickets. As for the price, you'll have to ask for it yourself."

"We exchanged a lot here, from several companies, so our fellow villagers gave us a discount price, which is different."

Zhao Jinhua agreed, and after moving the coal for Ye Shu, she went back to wash her hands and took off her coat and apron that were covered in coal dust.

When Chen Miao saw her covered in black, he couldn't help but say:

"You're such a naive person! Why would you need to do their jobs so dishonestly? Not only is it exhausting, but they won't even remember your kindness!"

Zhao Jinhua quickly said, "No, no, Comrade Ye Shu is a very nice person. She told me something!"

Seeing her mysterious look, Chen Miao's heart suddenly moved. He quickly moved closer and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Jinhua lowered her voice and told her what Ye Shu had told her, that she could go to the garrison area to buy fish.

Chen Miao's expression, originally full of expectation, gradually faded after hearing what she said.

Finally, he asked, "You mean, the price they get for the fish will be lower than if they were to go to the garrison?"

Zhao Jinhua nodded: "It's nothing, right? After all, they buy a lot. How much can we buy? At most, I'll buy one or two to eat slowly."

Then he asked, "Can you buy a lot too?"

She really didn't think much about it: "Then you can also discuss it with the leaders of the garrison area and ask them to give you a better deal!"

"Oh, wait until your old Zhou comes back, then you can talk to him!"

Anyway, she was not going to wait for Lao Zhang to come back to discuss it. She washed the black coal dust off her hands, patted her body to avoid getting coal dust on her, and went to the garrison area with a basket on her shoulder and money in her pocket.

After all, fish is meat. It’s good to buy some and make fish soup for the kids.

Before leaving, he asked Chen Miao: "Sister Chen, aren't you going?"

Chen Miao: "You're right. I need to discuss this with Lao Zhou. As you know, my family doesn't have much money, so we have to be frugal."

Zhao Jinhua thought it made sense, so she left without thinking too much about it.

As soon as I walked out of the compound, I found that the road outside and the gate inside and outside the neighboring compound were all full of people.

When she didn't come out, everyone was talking about it.

After she came out, everyone started thinking, trying to get some words out of her:

"Hey! Xiao Zhao, where are you going? Come here! Your yard is so lively today! Come and tell us! What's going on?!"

"Yeah, the people in your yard are really impressive! They're so lavish on their purchases! Do you think they're the petty bourgeoisie you hear on the radio?"

"I think so! Extravagance and waste! Not recommended!"

Zhao Jinhua blinked, sensing their ill will, and subconsciously chose to defend them: "Don't talk nonsense! You can't just accuse me of something like that!"

"Those firewoods may seem like a lot, but even a share of them would be gone for four families! Besides, we have to burn them every day at home, so there's no way we'd have more!"
