Therefore, Liu Haizhong's family barely had enough food and clothing. As for whether Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu could eat their fill, it was unknown.
As for the other households, they basically did not have enough food to eat. Wang Lihua, Cripple Li, and Yang Ni's families had Wu Jianguo's support, so they could still have enough food and clothing.
Wu Jianguo didn't take care of the three families. He knew the principle of increasing rice and fighting rice. Besides, he could often take care of Niuniu, Zhao Juan, and Zhao Xian's meals, which had saved a lot of food for the two families. As for Yang Ni's family, they only had two people. It was enough to give them some Korean noodles.
On the other hand, Cripple Li's own ration was barely enough to eat. Niuniu always ate at Wu Jianguo's house. In addition, Wu Jianguo provided some Korean noodles, so he did not lack food.
These three families were envied by the people in Wu Jianguo's relief center. Originally, Jia Zhangshi wanted to make a scene and ask Wu Jianguo to help her family, but when she saw Wu Jianguo's police uniform, she did not dare to do anything.
Intentionally or not, Niu Niu also ran over and said in a childish voice,"Brother, are we having meat for lunch?”After saying that, she even put her finger in her mouth with a look of anticipation.
Wu Jianguo didn't even open his eyes as he replied lazily,""How about making braised pork and flatbread for Nini and Niuniu at noon?”
Niu Niu clapped her hands happily and said,"Alright, Niu Niu likes big flatbread rolls and braised pork the most."”After saying that, she narrowed her eyes and took the apple from Nini. Kacha kacha. The two little girls ate like little hamsters.
“……。”
The aunties could not help but move their throats, wondering what kind of life they were living.
Jia Zhang-shi was so angry that she turned around and walked towards the middle court. Her mouth was still cursing and swearing, but it was definitely not good.
Third Aunt was filled with regret now. If she had known that Wu Jianguo was so capable, she would have treated him better when she first came to the courtyard. Didn't she see that Wang Lihua was now in a good position?
As for Wu Shengli's family, they would occasionally exchange unused tickets for coarse grain with Wu Jianguo, so they were not hungry.
Now that the Yan Family and Wu Jianguo were just a matter of face, Third Aunt was too embarrassed to visit them. Moreover, in Third Aunt's opinion, Wu Jianguo's country would not have enough food to support three families at the same time. Thinking about it, she really regretted it.
The few aunties agreed to go buy food the next morning before they dispersed.
At the Red Star Police Station, the police officers happily carried the food back home. Inspector Zhang felt very comfortable when he saw them.
At this moment, a jeep stopped outside the door. A middle-aged man with a square face and thick eyebrows got out of the car.
Superintendent Zhang saw this and thought to himself,'Oh no, it seems like this matter can't be hidden anymore.' So he went up and smiled."Chief Qian, why are you here?"
Chief Qian was the deputy director of the branch in charge of logistics. He came down this time to comfort his old comrade. After all, the supplies were 20% less than usual. However, when he got out of the car, he saw the police officers happily carrying food home. He frowned and said,"Old Zhang, are you tired of living?"
Chief Zhang rolled his eyes." Chief Qian, I have no choice. I can't let my comrades catch thieves on an empty stomach."”
Chief Qian sighed." It's a difficult time now, but if you do this, how are you going to live for the next few months? Let me tell you, the food allocated this time is three months 'worth. What if you ask your comrades to carry it back to the station? Don't look for me again. I don't have any food either. You know how difficult it is for the whole country now.”
"Sigh, I'll think of a way when the time comes." Director Zhang said with a bitter face.”Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth. Otherwise, he would have been given half of the food. After all, the entire branch was also short of food.
Chief Qian sighed." Old Zhang, I know you're doing this out of kindness. You're helping the families of the comrades in the station to tide over their difficulties. However, if there's no food in the station, you'll be in big trouble. What do you want me to say about you?"”
Director Zhang smiled." There's always a way. We'll talk about it later. I don't believe that we can't think of a way."”
Director Qian shook his head and said goodbye to his old comrade.
Looking at his old comrade who had left, Zhang Suo chuckled. He thought to himself, I'm sorry, old comrade. This bit of food is only enough for the people in our station to eat. I can't let you know.
Initially, the bureau had some complaints about Wu Jianguo being the logistics department chief when he just arrived, but now they had nothing to say. After all, he could get food. It was difficult to buy food even if you had money and tickets, except in Pigeon City. However, the food there was several times the market price.
I don't know the heat when I'm exhausted, but I cherish the long summer. In the blink of an eye, it's January again.
The people in the Siheyuan were all pale. Food was even more scarce in Sijiu City now. Many families only ate two meals a day, so the Siheyuan was not doing well either.
There were also some people who shamelessly came to borrow food from Wu Jianguo, but they were all dismissed by Wu Jianguo as having no food.
The Jia family wasn't having a good time either, they could only have a full meal at night when Shazhu brought back the lunch box.
"Sigh, how am I going to live these days?" Qin Huairu sighed as she looked at her own bowl.
"Go borrow money from Silly Zhu. My eldest grandson hasn't eaten meat for a long time."”
The stick was also clamoring to eat meat when he heard that. Little Dang Huai Hua was also looking pitifully at Qin Huiru, but it was not as noisy as the stick.
Qin Huairu smiled wryly at Jia Zhangshi." Mom, you can't buy food even if you have money now. Unless you go to the black market. However, the price is too expensive, let alone meat."”
Jia Zhang-shi had also lost a lot of weight. She rolled her eyes and said,""Go find Yi Zhonghai and ask him to hold a meeting. Why should Wu Jianguo only provide aid to those three families and ask him to share the food in his family with the poor families in the quad?”
In Jia Zhang-shi's eyes, the Jia family was the most difficult family in the courtyard. As long as they could force Wu Jianguo to take food, the Jia family would definitely get a share of the pie.
Qin Huairu thought about it and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.
Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Grandpa Yi is eating." Qin Huairu greeted.
"Huai Ru is here, have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?"
Qin Huairu looked at the two noodles on the table and gulped. She shifted her gaze away."Grandpa Yi, I've eaten. I'm here to talk to you about something…”
Wu Jianguo kept greeting his colleagues after work. During this period of time, the colleagues in the office knew that it was Wu Jianguo's credit for not being hungry now, so they were all grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.
When they returned to the entrance of the courtyard house, they happened to bump into He Yushui bringing Nini back. The three of them entered the courtyard at the same time.
Yan Fugui came out to welcome him." Jianguo, there will be a meeting of the entire academy later. Remember to come and attend."”
"I understand, Third Master." Wu Jianguo nodded.”Could it be that he was donating money to the Jia family? Then, he shook his head. No one in the courtyard was having a good time now. How could he donate money to the Jia family if he couldn't even eat his fill?
Back in the house, Nini went to read a comic book. He Yushui asked,""Brother Jianguo, what's the matter with the assembly later?”
"We'll know when we get there," Wu Jianguo said with a smile.”
"That's true. I'll go cook then," He Yushui said with a smile.”She then entered the kitchen.
Ever since he had crossed the bright road with He Yushui, He Yushui had been eating at Wu Jianguo's house every day. He even took care of all the cooking. Although He Daqing did not teach He Yushui how to cook, he would still watch a lot every day. Nini also liked He Yushui's cooking, so Wu Jianguo saved a lot of effort.
After a while, the food was ready. He Yushui shouted,"Nini, come out and eat."
"Coming, coming."
Nini jogged to the dining table and looked at the plate of chicken stir-fried with chili and the plate of braised pork. She was so greedy that she drooled. She immediately climbed onto her small stool and prepared to cook.
Although the door was closed, the fragrance still spread to the courtyard. From time to time, someone would curse softly.
Jia Zhang-shi looked at the sweet potato nest in her hand and threw it directly on the table. She cursed,"This damned little bastard still won't let me work. I can't live like this anymore!”
The stick meme was lying on the ground and crying,"Grandma, I want to eat meat."
