He Yuzhu was standing by the window to get food for others. He was in charge of distributing cornbread today.
He Daqing also had a rare activity, helping others to get food.
In this era, everything was planned.
For example, the factory would give a plan on how many buns to steam every day.
Wasting was a great crime.
He Yuzhu thought about the current situation as he distributed the bread.
It was now the end of August 1954.
This year was about to pass.
This was because to build a complete industrial system, they needed to export a large number of agricultural and sideline products to earn foreign exchange.
Food shortage would be a huge problem.
Therefore, next year, the unified purchase and marketing would be introduced, and supply tickets would be on the stage, such as grain tickets.
He could still buy cornbread with money now, but he would need money and food stamps next year.
He Yuzhu handed over the cornbread with one hand and kept the notes with the other.
In the crowd, two women were talking.
"Sister, I'm so happy that you came to see me from Baocheng!”
"Sigh, don't complain about too much. Just open your mouth and eat.”
"What are you talking about? Without you, I wouldn't have grown so big.”
There were too many people around, so she didn't speak too clearly. In short, if it wasn't for her sister contributing her own source of life, it was still unknown whether she could grow from a small dot to a big one.
"Sis, the food in the factory isn't very good. You can have a meal here first. When we go back tonight, I'll cook some preserved meat for you.”He said this in his ear.
The number of people in front of the two of them was decreasing rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of He Yuzhu.
He did not know these two women.
However, some people recognized him.
"Zhao Ying…is this old lady your relative?!”
A young man and Zhao Ying worked in the same workshop, so he recognized one of the two women. As for the identity of the other woman, he also said his guess.
Zhao Ying swung her ponytail.”
Hearing the conversation in front of him, He Yuzhu sized up Zhao Ying's sister.
She should be in her forties because the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes wouldn't lie, but she still had her charm. It could be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young.
It was unknown what the young man was thinking, but he introduced himself to Zhao Ying's sister,""Hello, sister. I'm Kang Zixue, Zhao Ying's workmate.”
"Hello, my name is Bai Zhen."
The hungry workers behind shouted,"Are you going to get food or not? If you want to chat, go and chat. Don't delay people from eating, okay?”
Zhao Ying turned around and said,"Wait a while. I'll starve to death."”
In return, they rolled their eyes.
She turned her head and handed the money she had prepared in advance to He Yuzhu. She said to He Yuzhu,"Three cornbread."
The young man interrupted and said,"No, take six cornbread. I'll pay."”
He Yuzhu did as he said and took six cornbread and placed them in their lunch boxes.
This young man was quite interesting. He liked young women!
After they left, someone muttered,""How did Kang Zixue become so generous?”
"Comrade, how many cornbread do you want?" He Yuzhu asked.”
Zhao Ying and the other two went to line up at the window.
The person who was serving them was He Daqing.
He Daqing's hands were very steady and did not tremble, but he was controversial among the workers. This was because the amount was right in the middle, and there would not be a single bit more, not even a shred of cabbage!
As they spoke, Zhao Ying and the other two came before He Daqing.
He Daqing, who had his eyes lowered, looked up and opened his eyes when he saw the lower half of Bai Zhen's face!
As a widow, Bai Zhen was quite sensitive to men stealing glances at her.
But at this moment, Bai Zhen realized that He Daqing was not peeking at her, but was looking at her openly.
Kang Zixue and Zhao Ying were chatting on the side and did not notice the change.
He Daqing looked at Bai Zhen, his lips moving.
Bai Zhen waited for a long time before he said,"What do you want?"
"I came here to get some food, of course."”
As she spoke, she handed over the lunch box in her hand.
He Daqing had placed a spoonful and a half of potatoes and cabbage in the lunchbox for her. It was so thick that it looked like a pile of porcelain!
Zhao Ying and Kang Zixue also served their own dishes.
Zhao Ying looked at the food in her sister's lunch box and said with a dumbfounded expression,"Sis, why did you hit so many?"
Kang Zixue was also dumbfounded. He remembered that he had paid for three ordinary dishes just now. Why was this old lady paying so much?
"Do you know who the chef was?" Bai Zhen asked his sister.”
" That's the class monitor of the canteen, He Daqing," Kang Zixue said clearly." The young man who gave the bread in front is his son, He Yuzhu."”
Zhao Ying sensed that something was wrong and said,"Sis, could it be that He Daqing has fallen for you?”
Bai Zhen smiled." Of course not. I was the one who begged him to order more food."”
Kang Zixue said," It's only because I'm capable that I can beg him. Who doesn't know that he has steady hands and hard ears? He never orders more dishes!"”
The three of them found a place to sit down. Bai Zhen looked at the window, and He Daqing was also looking in his direction.
