MTL - Siheyuan: The Final Winner-Chapter 18 Liang Ladi knocks on the window in the middle of the night
Chapter 18 Liang Ladi knocks on the window in the middle of the night
Liang Lao San guessed right.
Jiang Ping'an did have a way to get food without a ticket.
Now he has space and a lot of food.
But he will not admit that he can get food, nor will he help Mr. Liang and the others.
In this day and age, speculation is no joke.
Especially in this era of famine, food is a material that is under key control.
So Jiang Ping'an has never thought about food, and he has never even been to Pigeon City.
It stands to reason that Jiang Ping'an should help the villagers if they can't eat.
But Jiang Ping'an knows that human nature cannot stand the test.
So he didn't even help Qin Jingru's family, let alone help Liang Laosan and Liang Ladi, and took great risks to get food.
To put it bluntly, as long as there is a slight risk of leaking, Jiang Pingan will not do it. He wants to live longer.
As for buying piglets from Mr. Liang, or buying mountain products from other farmers, this is not speculation.
Because Jiang Ping'an had a letter of introduction and an endorsement from a rolling mill, he was representing the public to purchase unplanned supplies.
Even if someone checks, as long as he doesn't buy low and sell high, and makes a profit privately, it's fine.
Because all units do this.
It is a skill to get unplanned materials, which is different from reselling food.
Seeing that Jiang Pingan never let go, Liang Laosan felt helpless and left disappointed.
Liang Ladi, who came with her, was smiling when she left, and said a few words to Jiang Ping'an kindly before leaving.
Sending the two away, Jiang Pingan extinguished the fire in the kitchen, hugged a few salt water bottles filled with boiling water, and got under the covers.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Ping'an was in a drowsy sleep when he heard someone knocking on his window.
"Who, are you up late at night?" Jiang Ping'an said impatiently.
No one responds, but the knocking continues.
Jiang Pingan touched the flashlight, got up and put on a cotton jacket, got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened the curtain.
I saw Liang Ladi standing outside, panting, rubbing her hands and stomping her feet.
Jiang Pingan opened the window, and a gust of cold wind came in, making him shiver.
"Sister, if you come to ask me to help you get food, please go back, I really can't get it!" Jiang Pingan said bluntly.
Liang Ladi slowly showed a smile on her face, her big Kazilan eyes were blinking and watery.
She stomped her feet, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Peace, let my sister enter the room to talk first, it's too cold outside!"
Jiang Pingan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then wait a moment."
As he said that, he closed the window, and suddenly there was no cold wind pouring in.
Then he drew the curtains again, walked out of the bedroom, came to the main room, and opened the door to invite Liang Ladi to come in.
After Liang Ladi came in, Jiang Pingan closed the door, turned around and said bluntly:
"Sister Ladi, if you have anything to say, let's make a long story short. In the middle of the night, we have been alone and widowed for a long time, and the influence is not good."
Liang Ladi heard the words and secretly scolded Jiang Ping'an for being unreasonable, but with a smile on her face, she took a few steps forward, stretched out her hands, and slowly hugged Jiang Ping'an's waist.
"Miss Ladi, what are you doing?"
Jiang Ping'an was startled, are women so open now?
Liang Ladi giggled, leaned her head against Jiang Ping'an's arms, rubbed it lightly a few times, and asked in a low voice, "Smell, does my hair smell good?"
Jiang Pingan didn't answer, but he wanted to see what Liang Ladi was going to do.
Liang Landi saw that there was no movement, raised her small face again, pursed her lips and smiled, showing two dimples on her cheeks, and said in her mouth:
"You must have a way to get food, right? Ping An, as long as you can help sister get food, sister will do what you want, how about it?"
Jiang Pingan laughed and whispered in her ear, "It's not very good, unless you let me deal with it first, and I'll help you find a solution."
"How do you want to deal with me first?" Liang Landi rolled his eyes, glanced at Jiang Ping'an, and said again:
"Ping An, my sister just died a man, and she has four children waiting to be fed. It's pitiful enough, you can't bully me."
Jiang Pingan gave her a blank look, and said angrily: "Stop talking about the children, those children are not mine, so what does it matter to me?"
After a pause, he asked doubtfully, "Although your man is dead, don't you want to take his place? It stands to reason that there will be no shortage of food?"
"Who said there is no shortage?" Liang Landi sighed, and said: "My four children, except the youngest is still in the swaddle, and the three older ones are just growing up, and they are all big eaters."
"The current food is not oily, and I am not very hungry. How can the food quota at home be enough?"
"At first, I thought I could go back to my mother's house and figure out a way, even if I could get some sweet potatoes and potatoes back."
"But I never expected the situation to be so bad. There is also a serious shortage of food in Liangjia Village. Didn't I come to beg you because I heard about your connections!"
"Can you help my sister? As long as you can help my sister through the difficulties, my sister will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Pingan shook his head and said: "Sister Ladi, I really have no way out. I confessed to you and third uncle earlier, so I really can't help you."
Seeing that Jiang Pingan refused to agree to death, Liang Ladi sighed secretly, knowing that she had the cheek to ask, and she was afraid that she would return in vain.
She suddenly became depressed, and slowly came out of Jiang Ping'an's arms, bowed her head and took a few steps back, about to leave.
At this time, Jiang Ping'an suddenly said again: "Didn't you just say that I will deal with it? Are you leaving now?"
"You can't think of a way, how can I let you deal with it?" Liang Ladi paused, turned her head and pouted her mouth.
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "I have a method that is not a solution, do you want to listen to it?"
"Oh? Tell me about it." Liang Ladi smiled as her eyes lit up.
Jiang Pingan said with a smile: "Sister, your man is dead, and you have four children behind you. You won't remarry for a while, right?"
"Well, I shouldn't remarry in three to five years." Liang Ladi nodded, and said:
"Besides, no one dares to marry me these days, even if I get married, I won't be able to support myself!"
Jiang Pingan nodded, looked into her eyes, and said with a smile:
"My solution is simple, that is, I'm not married yet, I'm a young man, full of anger, and I need a woman. Sister Ladi, you are no longer married, but you still need a man."
"Let's snuggle up to each other in secret, how about I give you twenty catties of stick noodles every month from now on?"
Liang Ladi was full of disgust: "You think it's beautiful, and twenty catties of stick noodles sent me away? Dreaming!"
Jiang Pingan asked with a smile: "Then tell me, how much money do you need before you agree?"
"Do you really want to help me, a widow, secretly? If someone finds out, you will know the consequences unless you marry me." Liang Ladi pursed her lips and said.
Jiang Ping'an nodded and said: "Peony flowers are dead, and being a ghost is also romantic. To have a beauty like Sister Ladi, there is nothing to be afraid of taking a little risk."
Seeing that he was not joking, Liang Ladi thought for a while before raising her head and saying:
"To be honest, I'm a widow now, and it's not a disadvantage to follow a handsome young man like you."
"In this way, if you promise to give me thirty catties of sticks, two catties of white flour and one catty of pork every month from now on, I will promise to be with you and never find another man!"
