Aunt Lu whispered: "Ma Xiangdong's mother and sister were released. They cried in the room for a long time and just stopped."

Another aunt continued: "Yes, I cried so much that we originally wanted to go in and try to persuade her. But it turned out that it was okay if we didn't go in. Once we went in and asked, we cried even more."

"As soon as we saw it was not working, we came out first."

Aunt Lu continued: "It's probably because of the incident between Ma Xiangdong and his father Ma Yongshou. They were arrested today. Someone followed them to the factory. After questioning, it seemed that it was a theft. It was quite serious. Damn it for the Ma family, I'm afraid. It’s going to collapse.”

Stealing things from state-owned factories is stealing state assets.

The sentence is certain.

These days, prisoners sentenced to reform-through-labor are not only humiliated themselves, but also their families will be unable to hold their heads high.

The reputation will stink all over the courtyard, all over the streets, all over the streets.

Whether family members are looking for a job or getting married, it will be affected.

In his previous life, Ma Xiangdong was arrested. When this incident was revealed, the father and his son had been stealing for many years. The amount was huge and the circumstances were serious. Everyone in the family knew about it.

When they were severely beaten again, the whole family ate peanuts.

In this life, Zhao Heping reported it and might have saved the family's life in disguise.

He didn't want to get involved in such a topic, so he told some aunts and took the rice and noodles home.

Xu Xiuying was used to living a hard life. When she saw that all the noodles Zhao Heping bought were white noodles, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Heping, eating only white noodles is too luxurious."

"You can buy some cornmeal later and mix it in to eat."

In the past, what we ate at home was always steamed buns, and there was never any trace of white noodles.

Zhao Heping nodded and did not refute, but said: "Mom, I will go out to buy some meat, vegetables, eggs, etc., as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."

"I'll make you something delicious to supplement your nutrition tonight."

In his previous life, when he was alone and depressed, he always cooked for himself. Although he didn't eat much, he had developed his cooking skills.

In the past, because his father gave most of his money to his comrades who were in difficulty, life at home had always been difficult.

This also resulted in his mother being malnourished for many years.

Now that he has that condition, he will never let his mother suffer again in life.

When Xu Xiuying heard about buying meat and eggs, she was a little distressed at first, but after taking a look at her son's thin body, she suddenly stopped feeling distressed and said, "Buy more, meat and eggs are indispensable, and don't buy cornmeal for now."

"You are going to work in the factory soon. If you are too weak, you will be disliked."

"Besides, didn't you say that your partner is going back to the city? Eat more supplements and your face will look better when you go to his home."

"But when will your partner return to the city? Don't you have any accurate information?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Heping thought of Shen Qingru again and felt really worried.

"Mom, don't worry about this. I'll find a way to ask you tomorrow."

He will report to the steel rolling mill the day after tomorrow, so if he has time tomorrow, he will go to the street office to talk about his father's body, and then go to Secretary Song and ask him if he has started saving people.

If the other party doesn't start, then he can't waste time waiting like this and must find other ways.

You must not run out on your own and leave Shen Qingru to despair.

After making up his mind, Zhao Heping talked to his mother for a while, then took the money and tickets and went out to buy vegetables, meat and eggs.

By the time he returned to the courtyard, everyone at work had already returned from get off work.

Because of the matter between Ma Yongshou and Ma Xiangdong's father and son, many people are talking outside.

Seeing the meatball Zhao Heping was holding, his eyes widened.

These days, everyone has little money in their stomachs. Even if you have money and don’t have meat stamps, you still can’t buy meat.

Some people can cry because they haven't eaten meat for several months.

Everyone usually lives by tightening their belts, and it is normal for a worker to support a family of six or seven.

Under such circumstances, if one penny is broken into two and spent, who would be willing to buy meat?

So when they saw Zhao Heping carrying the meat, everyone swallowed involuntarily.

"Heping, this piece of pork cost a lot of money, right? Is it going to be delicious tonight?"

"I guess it's for making dumplings, right? It contains meat and vegetables, and the stuffing can be eaten for several meals."

"Yes, Heping, your mother is not in good health. If you want to make dumplings, just come and call me. I will go over and help chop the fillings and make the dumplings."

"Yes, yes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you need help, just say a word."

The crowd was chattering.

Zhao Heping thanked everyone and returned home with his things.

After he left, the person who was going to help him make dumplings said sourly: "If you have money, you have forgotten your last name. That is the money his father paid for with his life, and he is so willing to spend it randomly? What a waste of money." Son."

Another person who said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors also said: "It's just meat and eggs. I really don't know how to live. If you have money, eat it. When he doesn't have money, let's see what he does."

The Fifth Master heard this and immediately pulled up his face: "Shut up, everyone. Sun Baocai's mother-in-law in the front yard was detained for half a month for insulting the martyrs and their families."

"They didn't steal or rob, they just lived their own lives. Why are you jealous?"

"If you don't keep your mouth shut, you will be detained!"

His words really shocked these people, and they shut their mouths.

This group of people also remembered that on the first day Zhao Heping came back, he beat Sun Baocai's mother-in-law and sent her into detention.

That kid is not what he used to be and is not easy to mess with.

Zhao Heping didn't know what everyone was thinking.

When he got home, he started making various preparations. At the same time, he asked his mother who in the courtyard had helped his family when he was an educated youth.

"I just think that now that I'm back, the help from others can't be taken for granted."

"So tonight, I will cook a few more dishes and invite everyone who has helped our family over for a meal."

"Mom, what do you think?"

To repay your kindness, I must treat you to this meal.

Xu Xiuying nodded and agreed with her son's point of view: "Heping, I think you are right."

"When the news of your father's sacrifice came back, I fell ill all of a sudden."

"If it weren't for the care of the people in the courtyard, I wouldn't be alive to wait for you to come back."

"Since I got sick, many people have come here. But in the backyard, your Aunt Wang, your sister-in-law Chunmei, as well as Mr. Ma Wu in the middle courtyard, your Aunt Lu, and your Aunt Shen in the front yard, these are the ones who come to really take care of me. .”

Although she was very ill and groggy, she didn't know who had stolen the rice, noodles and money bills from home.

But she still knows who takes care of her.

When Zhao Heping heard this, he realized that these were all people who had a good relationship with his family before.

It seems that has not changed.

In the future, he will slowly repay these people.

Let me buy you a meal today as a token of appreciation.
