Chapter 181 Borrowing Food
In fact, acupuncture is indeed magical, and Yan Jiekuang's acupuncture is just the tip of the iceberg.
Zhong Kunlun also knows acupuncture, and his attainments are actually better than Yan Jiekuang.
"It seems that I need to study acupuncture more in the future." Zhong Kunlun said.
Next, Yan Jiekuang and Zhong Kunlun talked about traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
During this casual chat, Zhong Kunlun's knowledge far surpassed Yan Jiekuang's.
Yan Jiekuang also benefited a lot from exchanging medical skills with Zhong Kunlun.
After having lunch at the big leader’s house, Yan Jiekuang was still dragged by Zhong Kunlun to the First Hospital.
When they arrived at the First Hospital, Yan Jiekuang gave acupuncture to several vegetative patients without using the energy of creation.
Without the energy of creation, Yan Jiekuang's acupuncture would be basically useless.
When I came out of the First Hospital and returned to the food factory, it was already past three in the afternoon and it was almost time to get off work.
I walked around the factory and took care of some work.
When Yan Jiekuang finished his work, the food factory also closed for the day.
Yan Jiekuang rode his bicycle home.
When Yan Jiekuang returned to the courtyard, he found that there were guests at home.
—A middle-aged woman in Yanjiayuan.
"Aunt?" Yan Jiekuang recognized her immediately.
The guest at home was Yan Jiekuang's aunt, who was also Yan Bugui's sister, but they rarely interacted with each other.
During the Chinese New Year, Yan Bugui took Yan Jiekuang to visit relatives and met this girl.
Yan Jiekuang was also surprised to see his aunt coming home.
Yan Bugui actually has a good relationship with his sister, but he has conflicts with his brother-in-law, which is why they don't interact much.
Yan Jiekuang's uncle's surname was Li. He was a factory worker and also lived in Beijing.
What Yan Jiekuang was curious about was why his aunt came suddenly?
Yan Bugui and his mother were at home, as were Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li and Yan Jiedi.
When they got home, Yan Jiekuang also greeted her: "Aunt, you came without telling me. I just happened to be going to buy some vegetables."
"No, no." Yan Buhua said with a smile.
The atmosphere at home is pretty good, it doesn't seem like anything is wrong.
Pulling Yan Jiecheng aside, Yan Jiekuang asked in a low voice: "Brother, is there something wrong with my aunt?"
"Borrow grain." Yan Jiecheng also said in a low voice.
Borrow food?
Yan Jiekuang was stunned. He knew that food was in short supply now, but his aunt's family was still well off. They actually wanted to borrow food, which surprised him.
We don't usually interact with each other, but my sister-in-law had the audacity to come and borrow food, which shows that her family is indeed in financial difficulty.
Although it is quite unexpected, it is understandable.
Many families in the capital city asked relatives to borrow food.
Because they didn't interact much in daily life, Yan Jiekuang didn't pay much attention to his aunt's family.
Yan Bugui and his mother asked Yan Buhua to stay for dinner at home, but Yan Buhua wanted to go back.
Yan's mother gave Yan Buhua thirty kilograms of coarse grains and ten kilograms of fine grains to take away.
Yan Buhua was also surprised. She thought it would be good to borrow 10 to 20 kilograms of coarse grains, but she didn't expect to borrow 30 kilograms of coarse grains and 10 kilograms of fine grains. Fine grains are very precious nowadays.
Yan Buhua hasn't eaten fine grains for a long time.
When Yan Buhua left with the food, Yan Bugui sighed. He didn't expect that his sister would come to him to borrow food.
Although Yan Bugui is calculating, he was generous this time.
This is also emergency relief without helping the poor.
"I'll go and take a look tomorrow," said Yan's mother.
Yan Bugui had a conflict with his brother-in-law and didn't want to go to his brother-in-law's house, but his sister had come to borrow grain, and he was curious about how difficult it was for his brother-in-law's family, so it would be good for Yan's mother to go and take a look. "I'll go too," Yan Jiekuang said.
After all, we are relatives. This time my aunt came to borrow food, and maybe we can visit each other more often in the future.
"You don't have to go to work tomorrow?" Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiekuang.
"It's not difficult to spare some time." Yan Jiekuang said with a smile.
Yan Bugui didn't say anything, and Yan's mother had no objection either.
As for Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li and Yan Jiedi, none of them planned to go.
After returning home, Yu Li said to Yan Jiekuang, "I still can't believe that my mother dared to take out 30 kilograms of coarse grains and 10 kilograms of fine grains."
"Don't even mention you, I can't believe it." Yan Jiecheng said.
As far as Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li knew, the Yan family only had about 50 kilograms of coarse grains, and they gave them 30 kilograms at once, which was more than half. As for fine grains, it should be no less than 20 kilograms, so giving them 10 kilograms was also a lot.
"Dad is very generous this time," said Yu Li.
"This is the first time that my aunt has come to borrow grain. She must be in trouble!" Yan Jiecheng sighed.
Yan Jiecheng still understood his aunt's character. She would not come to borrow grain unless she had no other choice.
Yan Bugui also knew this, so he gave 30 kilograms of coarse grains and 10 kilograms of fine grains.
Early in the morning, Yan Jiekuang first went to the food factory.
After arranging his work, Yan Jiekuang went home to pick up his mother, and then went to his aunt's house.
In an alley near Zhengyangmen, Yan Jiekuang and his mother found a dilapidated old house, and Yan Buhua lived there.
A child in open-crotch pants was playing in the mud at the door. He was Yan Jiekuang's cousin, nicknamed Gouzi. He spoke stutteringly, but was not stupid, nor did he seem too smart.
"Dog." Yan Jiekuang took out some candies.
Gouzi obviously didn't recognize Yan Jiekuang or Yan's mother.
Faced with the candies given by Yan Jiekuang, Gou Zi hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted them.
After putting the candy in his pocket, the dog ran home quickly.
Not long after, Yan Buhua came out of home.
Seeing that it was Yan's mother and Yan Jiekuang who came, Yan Buhua also welcomed them warmly.
The Li family is not doing well. They used to have a bicycle, but now it’s gone. It must have been sold.
Li Jiefang was also at home.
That’s right, Yan Buhua’s man is called Li Jiefang.
There are too many people named Jiefang in this era, and there are many people with the same name and surname.
Li is a common surname. There are many people with the same name as Li Jiefang.
The second son of the Yan family is named Yan Jiefang. This is why Yan Bugui and Li Jiefang had a conflict and named their son Yan Jiefang. When Li Jiefang learned that Yan Bugui’s second son was also named Jiefang, he became very angry.
"Sister-in-law, Jie Kuang, you are here." Although Li Jiefang had conflicts with Yan Bugui, he was quite polite when he saw Yan's mother.
"You didn't go to work today?" Yan's mother was also surprised to see Li Jiefang at home.
Yan Buhua has no job and relies on Li Jiefang alone to support the whole family.
Fortunately, Yan Buhua only gave birth to one child. If she had given birth to more, Li Jiefang would have been under a lot of pressure.
Li Jiefang looked embarrassed.
Seeing Li Jiefang's expression, Yan's mother became even more curious.
Li Jiefang didn't want to say anything, Yan Buhua didn't want to say anything either, and Yan's mother didn't ask any more questions.
After sitting for a while at Li's house and drinking a cup of tea, Yan's mother and Yan Jiekuang left.
"Could it be that your uncle was laid off?" Yan's mother expressed her guess.
This is also Yan Jiekuang’s guess.
The Li family depends on Li Jiefang's salary to survive. If Li Jiefang is laid off, the Li family will have a hard time.
However, there are not many people being laid off now. Even if Li Jiefang is really laid off, his company will buy out his years of service, so he won't have to worry for a while.
"I'll ask later." Yan Jiekuang knew that the company where Li Jiefang worked had a cooperation with the food factory. When he returned to the factory, he could make a phone call and ask. After sending Yan's mother back to the courtyard, Yan Jiekuang also returned to the food factory.
As soon as he returned to the food factory, Yan Jiekuang called Li Jiefang's unit.
