The light of the mountain suddenly fell to the west, and the moon gradually rose to the east.
In the evening, the dark night engulfed the entire sky, and the capital was also shrouded in darkness.
As the moon kept changing its position, it appeared like a slender sickle.
The sharp ends seemed to be firmly inserted into the curtain, and the visible light and dark spots did not affect its brightness.
The withered branches bared their fangs and brandished their claws, and the shadows reflected on the snow surface looked somewhat ferocious.
The lamp on the arched door of the courtyard house was covered with a thin layer of dust.
A few threads of spider silk pulled out from the dust silently climbed up the bucket arch.
The dim yellow light flickered with the breeze.
" Hu…Hu…Hu." The sound of eating porridge came from the stick pedlar's mouth.
Qin Huairu nibbled on the dark yellow object in her hand. The grainy cornbread rubbed against her esophagus, causing her delicate eyebrows to furrow.
Qin Huairu put down the half-eaten bowl of porridge in her hands as she watched her son wolfing down the food. She said to her son with slight helplessness,"
"Awesome, you've already eaten your second bowl, but your two sisters haven't even finished half a bowl of porridge!”
Upon hearing his mother's words, he put down the clean bowl and said to Qin Huiru,"
"Mom, I'm not full yet!"
Jia Zhangshi, who was standing at the side, pretended to pour her porridge to her eldest grandson and said with emotion,
"Awesome, don't blame your mother for being incompetent.
A family of five only has such a small amount of food. It's already not bad if they can feed you until you're so old!
If it weren't for your mother's constant groping, our family would have run out of food long ago!”
Seeing this, Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhangshi,"
"Mom, you're only eating a little. Don't give me a stick.
I'm full, pour me some!"
As she spoke, Qin Huairu passed her bowl to her son and silently chewed on her cornbread.
Jia Zhangshi looked at it and sighed,"
"Little brat, eat me to death!
Huai Ru, is our family's food not enough?”
When Qin Huairu heard this, she swallowed the cornbread that she had been chewing for a long time. After pondering for a while, she said,"
"Mom, don't worry about it. I'll think of a way to deal with the food!”
Jia Zhang-shi heard this and looked at her daughter-in-law. She could not help but feel a trace of guilt.
Looking at the coquettish Qin Huiru, he could not help but want to say something, but he hesitated and did not say anything in the end.
Jia Zhangshi knew that no matter what happened to Qin Huairu, her daughter-in-law, she had to hold onto her tightly.
As for whether or not it was fair to Qin Huairu, she could no longer care so much now!
At this moment, the first person that appeared in Qin Huairu's mind was Silly Zhu, who was in the same courtyard as her.
She knew that she could only count on this man who had helped her family for four to five years.
She thought of Silly Pillar's mature face that made her feel at ease.
Qin Huairu's heart was like a lake that had a stone thrown into it, causing ripples.
Qin Huairu quickly buried her head in her chest, not letting her mother-in-law see anything.
As the night deepened, the temperature gradually dropped. The water in the black water tanks in the front, middle, and backyard gradually froze.
The colorless water condensed into milky-white ice cubes, and the entire space became larger than before.
A strong wind blew, bringing a few pieces of snow into the water tank.
In just a short while, it had melted into one with the ice.
At that moment, the three lights in the courtyard went out at the same time.
The entire courtyard fell into a pitch-black silence.
The winter sun spread out from the distant horizon and connected with the mountains in the distance. The torrent-like sunlight poured down from there and drowned the entire capital.
The buildings in the distance were also illuminated by the golden light.
Occasionally, the clouds in the sky cast shadows on the ground, like dark gray flowers embroidered on golden silk.
At lunchtime, the fifth canteen was filled with noise.
The propaganda slogans that could be seen everywhere would jump in front of everyone from time to time.
On a piece of coarse white cloth that looked like a poster, it read: "Oppose waste and strictly enforce thrift".
Below the slogan was a tap that was dripping water.
Ma Hua was short of manpower today, so he took the initiative to take on the task of cooking.
He looked at the words "build a society as quickly as possible" in front of him and then looked at the queue of workers waiting to eat.
This gave Ma Hua a different feeling!
"Which dish do you want?"
Ma Hua asked every worker who came to eat in a simple and skillful manner.
However, the response that Ma Hua heard the most was " Two steamed buns and one serving of potatoes!”
Many of them were not even willing to order a serving of cabbage and vermicelli.
However, even if the workers left the window one by one,
However, the long queue did not change at all!
"What do you want?" Ma Hua's question was even more concise.
"Two steamed buns, one serving of potatoes, and one serving of cabbage vermicelli!”
Ma Hua raised his head and looked at the worker because he felt that the worker's voice was familiar.
"Xu Damao?" Ma Hua was surprised.
Xu Damao was standing by the window, smiling at Ma Hua.
Although Ma Hua was surprised, he still managed to accurately produce two normal portions of food.
Seeing this, Xu Damao put his palms together and said to Ma Hua,"
"Brother Ma Hua, I will be eating at the fifth canteen from now on. I hope you can take care of me!”
Ma Hua asked curiously,"
"Master Xu, you're really resourceful. You can even transfer the food stamps.
It seems that the rumors about your good relationship with the factory leaders are true!”
Ma Hua's words seemed to have tickled Xu Damao's itch. He smiled proudly and said to Ma Hua,"
"Of course, Brother Ma Hua. If you need any help, just let me know!”
Ma Hua listened and naturally continued to flatter,"
"Then we'll take care of each other in the future. Thank you, Master Xu!”
Although Hua Ma kept praising him, he still beat up as many as he could. He did not give Xu Damao any preferential treatment.
After all, if you were to take such polite words seriously, you would lose!
After Xu Damao left, a worker behind him smiled and said to the people behind him,
"Old Sun, did you see our projectionist Xu just now?
Do you know why he came to the fifth canteen?”
The so-called Old Sun who followed behind added,
"Why?"
At this time, Ma Hua also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"I heard that Projection Clerk Xu doesn't get along with the chef in the canteen and often gets his spoon shaken.
Although it was the same money every time, she couldn't eat her fill. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and came over through her connections!”
Ma Hua immediately understood.
It seemed that the conflict between Xu Damao and Silly Pillar would be even more intense.
Would Xu Damao and Qin Huairu's plan to drill into the warehouse together still happen?
It would be a pity if Xu Damao avoided the fate of being watched because of the butterfly effect.
Otherwise, there was no way to prove whether Xu Damao's lower body was as big as a needle's eye.
However, what Ma Hua did not know was that not long after Xu Damao left, he met Qin Huairu, who had a long face.
Then, Xu Damao used the two steamed buns he had just bought to make a deal with Qin Huiru. They agreed to meet in the small warehouse later.
However, it was obvious that Xu Damao had been played.
After waiting for a long time in the warehouse, Xu Damao could only curse and leave.
At this moment, Qin Huairu was thinking about how to get Silly Zhu to give her a few catties of noodles.
The smart Widow Qin quickly came up with an idea, which was to act pitiful to the lecherous Silly Pillar.
She told him about her family's tragic situation and how she was "bullied" by Xu Damao!
Especially the last part about Xu Damao.
Because Silly Zhu and Xu Damao had always been enemies, the angry Silly Zhu would definitely not have any thoughts of refusing!
At the thought of this, Qin Huairu smiled proudly. She had predicted that her three children would definitely be able to eat their fill tonight.
"Destiny has a fixed end.”
It was obvious that Qin Huairu couldn't do it!
