Beyond the passing time
"Hey, Cai Quanwu, you are..."
Fan Jinyou does not want to be a scapegoat. It's not easy to just take good care of his own family.
Even if one wants to help others, it's not Xu Huizhen's family's turn. At the very least, this family has no problem filling their stomachs and still wants to live an even better life.
So Fan Jinyou took the opportunity to point out Cai Quanwu. The two had crossed paths in the black market, and Fan Jinyou had seen Cai Quanwu buying quite a few things.
There was no shortage of procurement, but there's nothing at home. Cai Quanwu doesn't even have a proper relative. Shouldn't he provide an explanation?
Others may not be aware of the situation and might not think that Cai Quanwu would give the food to outsiders, but Fan Jinyou is fully aware of the inside story.
"Huizhen, let's not trouble Comrade Fan with this matter. I can get up early every day and go to the black market. With a bit of luck, I should still be able to buy some supplies."
It was immediately clear that Cai Quanwu's cleverness shone through at this moment.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Fan Jin had a deep realization of why Xu Huizhen would like Cai Quanwu, as Cai Quanwu was truly good at being considerate of others.
"Huizhen, since Cai Quanwu has a solution, I will take care of my own family first. You know a bit about my family's situation. Besides my parents, my older sister's family is also in a difficult position. Don't worry, if there's anything I can buy more of, I won't forget about your family."
Here is the English translation of the webpage content, preserving the original HTML tags:Xu Huizhen looked at Cai Quanwu, then at Fan Jinyou, and was certainly confused by the tacit understanding between the two men: "Then we won't trouble you any further, Comrade Fan."
The title "Comrade Fan" is also very magical. When strangers address him this way, it is certainly with good intentions and shows respect.
However, when acquaintances refer to him as "Comrade Fan", most of the time, it expresses some level of dissatisfaction.
However, Fan Jinyou didn't care whether Xu Huizhen was satisfied with her own or not.
The relationship between the two families was not at the point where they would share their own grain with the Xu family, who already had enough food.
Fan Jinyou is not short of money, and Chen Xueru is even less short of money. If they can really get their hands on some supplies, they can consume them themselves without any pressure. There is really no need to give discounts to outsiders.
Given Fan Jinyou's status, going to the black market and buying a small amount of something is not a serious problem.
But on the other hand, he sold it to Xu Huizhen, which seems like speculation and profiteering, buying and selling back and forth. Why take this risk?
Xu Huizhen is not a leader in the neighborhood, so it's not worth it for Fan Jinyou to suffer a loss just to please her. As long as the tool person exists and is useful, that's all that matters.
"Huizhen, do you want to continue drinking? If not, let me show you my son's talent. How well does he play the piano!"
"Of course I want to drink. We always drink my family's liquor at the small tavern. It's rare to have a chance to taste your liquor, Chen Xueru. How could I not drink a few cups first? There's no rush to see the talent show. Let the children play for a while."
Xu Huizhen wouldn't be Xu Huizhen if she let Chen Xueru easily fulfill her desire to show off her child. On the contrary, because Chen Xueru can't drink alcohol, Xu Huizhen wants to tease her even more.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, and watching Hou Kui's talent show, Xu Huizhen's family finally said goodbye and left, despite Hou Kui's reluctance to part.
"Fan Jinyou, old Fan, did I get the short end of the stick?"
After seeing off Xu Huizhen and her family, Chen Xueru sprawled on the sofa and said.
"That depends on how you look at it. You've achieved all your goals, proving that our family's food is better than Xu Huizhen's. You've subtly expressed that our third child is ahead of Xu Huizhen's. You've also showcased our son's talents." Fan Jinyou glanced at Hou Kui's room again and said, "And you've gained an unexpected surprise. Now that Hou Kui is learning a musical instrument, you won't have to nag him as a mother in the future."
The musical instrument performance today might have attracted Xu Jingli, making her realize the benefits of having a talent. Hou Kui is now bursting with enthusiasm for learning a musical instrument.
That's why they say, interest is the best teacher.
Fan Jinyou realized that being a "licking dog" for Hou Kui was not without benefits, as women could provide Hou Kui with endless motivation.
Xu Jingli remained a top student, and Hou Kui, in his pursuit of Xu Jingli, would not fall behind in his studies either.
"Then I feel that Xu Huizhen has really taken a big advantage, right?"
After listening to Hou Kui practicing the piano, Chen Xueru said with a few more smiles.
"If you put it that way, there's no problem. Today's meal, in the current situation, can definitely be considered a feast. Xu Huizhen's whole family has satisfied their cravings. Then Xu Huizhen is also using our family's wine, making you, who can't drink, crave it. Of course, you can say that Xu Huizhen has taken advantage. This advantage, if you pull one hundred people on the street, ninety-nine of them would be willing to take it, and the last one would ask for it to happen again!"
During this dinner treat, both women achieved their own objectives. Although there might be some discomfort, it can still be considered a win-win situation.
"No, something doesn't feel quite right," Chen Xueru said, shaking her head.
"There's nothing wrong. You're pregnant, so don't think too much."
Of course it's wrong. A win-win situation is a win-win situation. Xu Huizhen didn't contribute anything, while this side paid for a real, hearty meal.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:If possible, Xu Huizhen should be willing to be like this every day.
Although it's uncomfortable to be outdone by Chen Xueru, Xu Huizhen is also not as comfortable as Chen Xueru.
Furthermore, Xu Huizhen had a bit more sophistication than Chen Xueru. Even if she lost, she wouldn't show everything on her face, which deprived Chen Xueru of some of the victor's pleasure.
People who are shrewd and sophisticated may be more suitable when it comes to doing business.
However, in life, those who wear their joys and sorrows on their faces can make others feel more at ease.
Every day's work and life are already busy enough.
It's too exhausting to have to guess what's on your wife's mind even at home.
At least Fan Jinyou likes Chen Xueru's straightforward personality of saying what's on her mind.
Unlike Xu Huizhen, who clearly knows that Cai Quanwu has been helping He Yongqiang all along.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:What's the point of still putting on an act with Cai Quanwu at home every day, having to wear a mask even at home.
Fan Jinyou's work, after not being busy for long, started getting busy again since last year, although there isn't much to do in his own department.
However, during the difficult times, there were quite a few people who fled to the capital. Apart from those who sought refuge with relatives and friends, the rest who had no one to rely on needed to be settled by the government.
The city assigned the disaster victims to districts, then the districts assigned them to sub-districts, and the sub-districts further assigned them to neighborhood committees.
The basic living security of these people needs to be resolved. With so many migrant populations, it can be said that there are countless matters to deal with.
The entire street needs to be mobilized, and everyone on the street is very busy.
Fan Jinyou himself is someone who deals with merchants, and at this time, he was assigned to cooperate with the neighborhood committee to mobilize the merchants on the street.
After all, no matter what, these merchants have good family conditions and are all considered to be people with the means.
Those with money can contribute money, those with food can contribute food, those with strength can contribute labor. It's okay to provide some empty rooms to accommodate disaster victims, or even donate some old clothes.
Fan Jinyou does not want to be a scapegoat. It's not easy to just take good care of his own family.
