Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

After Yi Zhonghai realized what he was doing, there was nothing he could do about it, so he agreed to it.

We can only seize the time to find meat.

He knew that the supply and marketing cooperative was out of meat now.

You can't exchange it for meat tickets, money and cigarettes.

The pigs that were just killed in the morning were sorted out before noon.

People have nothing to eat these days, let alone pigs.

The pig was so skinny that only the ribs were left all over its body.

If he wanted to get meat, he would go directly to the meat factory to grab it.

Otherwise, you can only check if there is one in the cafeteria.

He thought it was not cost-effective to have to take time off for a trip to the meat factory.

The salary was just that small to begin with.

The steel rolling mill has been hosting banquets recently, and meat is indispensable. The canteen in the factory might even say something nice to He Daqing and get a piece of it.

As long as he got the meat, he would have leverage to negotiate with Yu Li.

Thinking of Yu Li, Yi Zhonghai became angry.

Why is this girl so smart!

Even an old man like myself was fooled!

He didn't dare to delay.

He hurriedly took a leave of absence from Zhang Er and went to the canteen.

Standing at the door of the canteen, I was stunned that I couldn't get into the kitchen.

"You smell so bad, why don't you wash yourself up before coming in? We're going to the hotel soon. What if the excrement foam gets on the food?"

Liu Lan was fired from the cafeteria.

The person speaking was Ma Hua, He Daqing's apprentice.

"I, I'm looking for your director. I'm not going in, I'll just stand outside and wait."

Yi Zhonghai took a step back timidly.

"Then just wait here, don't go in!"

Ma Hua reminded him before leaving.

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door of the cafeteria, pacing back and forth.

After waiting for about half an hour, He Daqing arrived.

He Daqing didn't look good when he saw him, and asked with a stern face: "Old Yi, why did you come to see me?"

"Qing."

Yi Zhonghai forced out a smile.

"I want to order some meat from your cafeteria. I'll buy it with a ticket."

"Whose family is not short of meat now? Do you think the cafeteria is a pig farm? There is meat everywhere?"

"You can give me any leftovers or scraps. We always entertain guests in the cafeteria, so there should be meat."

"That's for the leaders. If you're like you, come and ask us for meat. You want a piece, I want a piece. Where can we get it from our canteen?"

"After all, we are neighbors, so just open a small stove for me. If I hadn't been helpless, I wouldn't have come to you."

Yi Zhonghai prayed.

He Yuzhu felt something was wrong when he heard what he said.

An old man like him wouldn't be so greedy.

During the war, not to mention meat, even stick noodles and porridge were not affordable.

He has survived days like this.

Are you clamoring for meat now?

This unscientific!

"Who do you want this meat for?"

He Daqing asked.

"To tell you the truth, I did it for Xiaodang."

Yi Zhonghai said sheepishly.

"Xiao Dang?"

He Daqing was even more confused.

That's Xu Damao's child. What does it have to do with him, Yi Zhonghai?

"Yes. The situation here is quite complicated. I'll explain it to you later. Xiaodang hasn't eaten meat for several days. Tell me about the growth stage of the child. If this continues, won't he be malnourished? I won't. He used to be her grandfather, and I am also worried about this child!"

He Daqing was silent.

After Xu Damao became the leader, he had no shortage of votes.

It's just that you can't buy meat if you have meat tickets.

Although he also wondered why Xiaodang wanted to eat meat, why didn't Xu Damao come to ask for help and buy it?

But when he thought that Yi Zhonghai was doing it for Xiaodang, he didn't hesitate.

He went directly into the kitchen without speaking to Yi Zhonghai.

After searching around, I found a piece of pork, and cut off some lean pieces from it.

In this day and age, everyone likes to eat oily and watery food.

No one eats lean meat.

Even if you cut a small piece, no one will notice.

The kitchen is He Daqing's territory, who dares to say anything?

He took out the meat and handed it to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai said thank you carefully.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you so much, Lao He."

With that said, he took out the meat ticket and wanted to give it to He Daqing.

He Daqing waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Don't, don't. I'm giving it to you, it's nothing. But if I take it from you, it's not right. Are you trying to kill me by reselling public property?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Daqing gratefully.

I shook his hand vigorously.

"Da Qing, our two families have always had a bad relationship. But I didn't expect that you could help me so much at the critical moment. You are such a good person."

"Stop it!"

He Daqing quickly reminded: "I'm giving this meat to my children, not you. I'm doing it for my children, not you. And it's only this time, not the next time. Do you understand?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly.

He could only agree first.

But my heart is still beating.

There's no next time.

What should we do next?

Every week I have to get meat for Xiaodang.

He Daqing is a one-time cooperation, where can I find someone to cooperate with for a long time?

Forget it.

Yi Zhonghai pondered in his heart: Just take it one step at a time. Anyway, now that I have the meat, I can go back to negotiate with Yu Li.

"Then you go back quickly. Remember, no one can tell this matter. If you tell it, I will definitely kill you."

He Daqing finally threatened.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Yi Zhonghai said quickly.

After Yi Zhonghai left, He Daqing was still thinking about it.

When did Yi Zhonghai become so kind?

Today is the day when He Yuzhu and his family come to the compound for dinner.

They agreed that although there was no shortage of food at home, it would be a waste of resources for the two families to open fire.

Everyone eats together at least three or four days a week.

At the dinner table, He Daqing mentioned this matter.

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Yi Zhonghai is a person who has no benefits and cannot afford to be early. I guess it is Xu Damao and the others who gave him some benefits. Most likely it has something to do with pension matters."

"Xu Damao will provide for him in old age?"

"Ah!"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.

"Xu Damao has a father of his own, and I want to support him in his old age. You are crazy and he is crazy! Bangge must have left, and you are thinking about Xiaodang!"

"Ah. After Banggeng left, he turned back to Xiaodang? Why is he so calculating? What's wrong with Yan Bugui?"

"Then don't worry about it."

He Yuzhu never asked about the affairs of the courtyard.

If it doesn't reach your head, it has nothing to do with you.

"I don't want to worry about it. Didn't you find me?"

"By the way, you took the meat from the kitchen, did you give me a ticket? This is a stain."

"Of course I took it. A little meat ticket is nothing to us. But I warned him so that it won't happen again."

"It's time for you to wake up."

He Yuzhu said and stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Xu Damao's family."

"Then get some meat for Xiaodang. The child is so pitiful."

"understood."

He Yuzhu agreed, took away a plate of fried pork with green peppers on the table, and turned to Xu Damao's house.
