These thoughts weren't for the sake of showing off, nor were they for the sake of becoming famous.
He had to admit that when he was young, he dreamed of being a hero.
Just like Iron Man, a real man would never look back at an explosion.
However, he knew that he did not have the ability to do so. He could not save all the victims, nor could he change the trajectory of the entire era.
He just felt that perhaps he could use his efforts to save this village that was struggling on the verge of starvation.
If he didn't know about the existence of this village, it would be fine. Now that he knew, he definitely couldn't watch these people starve to death.
He waited for Station Chief Fang to return to work and arrange his work. He quickly followed the grain collection team to the village to see what the situation was.
Chen Weiguo's mind ran wild. He didn't go out for lunch and just ate in the cafeteria.
The canteen staff was quite nice to him. When it was his turn, his hands were trembling like they were suffering from Alzheimer's. When it was his turn, he gave him two big spoonfuls of paste that he could not tell the content of, and a spoonful of small pickles that looked quite appetizing.
Chen Weiguo was too embarrassed to show his disdain in front of the canteen chef. He smiled at the canteen chef and returned to the station chief's office with the lunch box.
Chen Weiguo locked the door tightly the moment he entered the office.
He frowned and picked up the paste on the plate with his chopsticks, carefully identifying the contents of the paste.
A black dish, probably a dish…?
The other plate of yellow should be multi-grain rice.
Chen Weiguo picked up a piece and sniffed it. There was no strange smell.
He tried to take a bite and found that the taste was actually not bad. It was not as bad as he had imagined.
The dish seemed to be some kind of pickled vegetable leaf. It was gravy and there was some minced meat in it.
As for rice, it was a paste made of rice mixed with corn stalks. It was considered quite good on the market.
The standard of the food in their canteen was not lower than that of ordinary factories. After all, it did not take up the monthly salary of the employees. The canteen of the grain station only accepted some food stamps, and the price was very low. It was much more affordable than those sold outside.
Chen Weiguo mixed the salted vegetables into the corn paste and took a bite. The taste was quite fragrant.
However, there was nothing to gain from this meal.
In fact, he had seen similar meals in his later life. They were usually prepared for people who wanted to lose weight. They also had a nice name,"Health Meal". The price was much higher than a box of three dishes and one soup.
People nowadays would never imagine that food would be so abundant in the future that the country would have to worry about the high proportion of obese people, right?
Nowadays, the streets were filled with the most loved poop figures of the future generations. It was not intentional to restrain themselves. They could not eat meat for a few meals throughout the year, so of course they could not get fat.
Chen Weiguo took out an egg from his interspatial ring and roasted it on the stove as a snack for himself.
With the grilled egg, he finished the meal in no time.
Even though there was not much to eat, it was still quite full. It was good to eat occasionally to reduce the burden on his stomach.
Chen Weiguo washed the dishes and returned to the cafeteria.
Returning to the office, he lit a cigarette and puffed out a cloud of smoke.
Before they finished smoking, they heard a commotion at the grain station in front.
It's already time to get off work. How can they still make a fuss?
Chen Weiguo didn't bother to smoke anymore. He quickly got up and went out to take a look.
"What happened?"
When they arrived at the grain store, Chen Weiguo squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.
"Xiao Chen! You're finally here! Call the police, we've been robbed!”
Zheng Wenqiu immediately screamed when she saw Chen Weiguo.
"Big Sister, don't talk nonsense!"
A familiar voice rang out, attracting Chen Weiguo's attention.
Chen Weiguo turned his head to take a look. Wasn't this Qin Huairu?
Qin Huairu was standing in the middle of the crowd at the grain store. It seemed like the commotion today was caused by these two people.
"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen! It's me! Sister-in-law came to look for you today and has been waiting for you for half a day!”
Qin Huairu hurriedly waved at Chen Weiguo, as if she was afraid that the people at the grain station did not know that she knew Chen Weiguo.
When Zheng Wenqiu saw this, he swallowed his words of accusation.
What was going on? Knowing Chen Weiguo, could it really be a misunderstanding?
"Mrs. Qin, what are you doing here?”Chen Weiguo frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Qin Huairu knew that she was in the wrong, so she hurriedly smiled apologetically and said," This is really a misunderstanding. Xiao Chen, can you ask everyone in your shop to leave first? Can we talk in private?”
How could Chen Weiguo listen to Qin Huairu?
This woman must be up to no good when she came to find him!
He pretended not to hear Qin Huairu's words and turned to ask Zheng Wenqiu," Tell me, what happened?"”
Zheng Wenqiu saw that Chen Weiguo's expression was indifferent. She could not figure out what Chen Weiguo was thinking, so she could only pick out the main point." It was almost time to get off work at noon. This woman brought her son here. After looking around for a long time, she did not say what she wanted to buy. She just said that she was waiting for someone. When she left, I saw that her son's pocket was bulging. When I opened it, it was filled with food from our grain store!”
Zheng Wenqiu said as he lifted the bag in his hand to show Chen Weiguo and the people around him.
In her hand was a long cloth bag filled with rice, which should be about three catties.
This was stolen goods.
When Chen Weiguo saw this, he wanted to laugh.
This was fate. This little thief was finally caught red-handed, and he was caught red-handed in his grain store.
Qin Huairu's face was pale as she looked at the bag of grain in Zheng Wenqiu's hands. Her palms were clenched tightly.
As long as she still had some extra food stamps in her hands, she would take them out and let this matter go.
But it just so happened that it was the end of the month, and the new food stamps had not been issued yet. Jia Dongxu's illness had worsened again, and he had spent all the money at home. She really could not take out a single cent in her hands.
For the past two days, she had been guarding the grain store. If she met Chen Weiguo, she would say good things to him and use her family's rice and flour to exchange for some miscellaneous grains so that she could last until the next month's grain distribution day.
Who would have thought that when he brought his son over today, his son would be so stupid as to steal the rice from someone else's grain store and be discovered!
She could not explain herself now, so she could only look at Chen Weiguo pleadingly.
She knew that Chen Weiguo had a lot of prestige in the grain store. As long as Chen Weiguo said the word, this matter would definitely be over.
However, Chen Weiguo did not even look at her from the beginning to the end. He did not even see her distress signal.
Finally, Chen Weiguo raised his head.
However, the words that came out of his mouth made Qin Huairu feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Chen Weiguo said," Why? Did you steal from a grain store?”
