Break out of the courtyard

Xuanwu Hospital, Special Needs Ward 601.

I don’t know if it was because Lao Liu had not been discharged from the hospital, but bed No. 601 in ward 1 has always been empty.

Just now, the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi told Dr. Zhao that Mr. Liu was in good spirits when he returned for the consultation today. She also told Zhang Heping that he has now gone to the Bayi Film Studio and will invite Zhang Heping to watch the movies he made in the future.

Zhang Heping heard the news about Uncle Liu and was happy for him. After all, "I" lived a heroic life and should not waste the rest of his life in the ward.

At the end, Zhang Heping couldn't help but look at his father Zhang Bing on the hospital bed.

The household registration, food supply, and house have been settled. The most urgent thing now is the transfer of the two sisters to another school.

Because school is about to start!

In the ward, a family of six and five people gathered together to discuss family matters.

Ma Xiuzhen brought back only 25 yuan and 1 cents out of the 3 yuan she brought. The dry food, steamed buns, and 5 kilograms of national food stamps she brought were all left to her grandfather and the others.

On the other hand, the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi kept in mind the words of her younger brother Zhang Heping and was not allowed to use emergency travel expenses home unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, the eldest sister brought back the 5 yuan and 3 kilograms of national food stamps hidden in the lining of her sleeves and trousers.

As for the 1 yuan that grandma and second sister had, they didn't spend it.

Ma Xiuzhen also talked about the difficulties faced by her grandpa. The drought in the north may continue, and she doesn’t know how to survive this year.

In Zhang Heping's past life memory, it seems that there were only three natural disasters. Three years have passed, so why does the drought continue?

Grandma also talked about the difficulties in her hometown...

Then, grandma Xie Ermei and mother Ma Xiuzhen both looked at the family's finance minister, Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping took out all the money and tickets at home and spread them on the empty bed No. 1, followed by two household registration books, two grain books, and two non-staple food books.

Then Zhang Heping analyzed: "Our family now has 555 kilograms of meal stamps and 55.8 yuan of vegetable stamps for the canteen of the steel rolling mill. If we save some food, it should be able to last for half a year. So..."

As soon as this number came out, the two sisters' eyes widened, and grandma was also a little surprised, because they had not been embarrassed to handle the meal tickets that Zhang Heping had brought back before. They only knew that there were many, but they did not know that there were so many.

"It should last for a year." Ma Xiuzhen said her calculations, "The ward can also provide enough food for one person."

Zhang Heping said seriously: "Comrade Ma Xiuzhen is not allowed to speak when the junior financial director is talking."

Zhang Heping's funny words made the atmosphere of complaint dissipate a lot.

"It's up to me to spend food at home!" Zhang Heping glanced at the thin faces of his family members, "If you want to object, just think about who is taller or fatter, me or a 9-year-old guy?"

As soon as these words came out, the four women in the family fell silent. Zhang Heping was 4 years old, but he couldn't compare to a 12-year-old baby, which made them feel heavy in their hearts.

"Our family has food supplies for five people, and the food stamps in the capital are only valid for that month and local area, so we have to use all the food stamps for that month!"

"However, if you leave the door unlocked at home, it is easy to attract thieves; even if you lock the door, it is easy to attract rats."

"So, why don't you lend the saved food supplies to your parents' relatives? What do you think?"

"Good son!" Ma Xiuzhen hugged Zhang Heping and kissed him on the cheek.

Grandma is also happy. There are Zhang Heping's uncle and second aunt in her hometown, so she would be lying if she said she wasn't worried.

The family discussed it for a while and decided that my grandmother, who had no job, would go to Mimi to exchange for coarse grains every month.

In this way, their family can save more than 200 kilograms of stick noodles every month. Even if relatives on both sides borrow 100 kilograms each, the family can still have some leftover food for emergencies.

As for whether they will pay it back in the future... you can think about it before lending it out, but don't think about it after lending it out, just let it happen.

The reason why Zhang Heping did this was simply to consolidate his position as finance minister.

After all, he is only 12 years old!

After the two parties have borrowed money, when grandma and mother have objections to Zhang Heping's future financial expenditures, they have to think about whether their respective parties can repay the one hundred kilograms of noodles per month.

However, not locking the door at home is a big problem. You can only lock it in cabinets and boxes at home. Fortunately, there are a lot of old furniture in the east wing, so you can add locks to lock it.

Finally, it was time to transfer to another school.

Grandma said that she wanted to go back, so it was up to her and her eldest sister to go back.

As before, Zhang Heping gave 20 yuan to his grandma and asked her to see who she could lend it to when she went back. Then he also gave 5 yuan for travel expenses and 5 pounds of national food stamps.

It’s 20 yuan on both sides. They can give it to whomever they like. If they have any objections to Zhang Heping’s spending in the future, they will pay back the money first!

As for the dry food such as steamed buns and pickles, Zhang Heping counted 15 kilograms of meal stamps and asked them to take turns buying steamed buns of two ounces each tomorrow.

Then he gave his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, meal tickets for the next two days and 2 yuan for living expenses.

Finally, while grandma was going to the toilet, Zhang Heping gave the eldest sister 3 yuan and the remaining 3 kilograms and 6 taels of national food stamps, and whispered to her to hide her clothes inside so that grandma wouldn't find her in case she was taken away.

Grandma Xie Ermei is a bit patriarchal. She fled from her hometown to reduce the burden on her eldest son's family.

This time I took the initiative to go back, probably because I was afraid that the third daughter-in-law, Ma Xiuzhen, would not be interested in the boss.

Zhang Heping didn't have much memory of his uncle, and he was worried that his eldest sister would be asked to take away the 5 yuan and 3 kilograms of national food stamps by her grandma when she went back this time, so she kept them.

At the end, Zhang Heping took out the two bottles of canned cherries from the steel rolling mill to express condolences to his father Zhang Bing. In front of his grandma, he told his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi to go to the school to apply for transfer first, and send one bottle to the head teacher and the other to the principal.

Be sure to get a transfer application form stamped with the school's official seal, or a paper explanation such as a letter of introduction.

After the discussion, the four girls went back, leaving Zhang Heping reading in the room with the light on.

……

The next day, Qin Huairu followed He Yuzhu into the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill anxiously and excitedly.

He Yuzhu sent Qin Huairu to the labor department and went to work in the third canteen.

By the way, He Yuzhu originally felt a little guilty about Jia Dongxu's injury.

However, this guilt disappeared after Jia Zhang framed him for being a hooligan.

All that's left is the unforgettable whiteness seen in the hospital...

The eldest brother in the labor department was still very enthusiastic. After registering Qin Huairu, he took Qin Huairu to the logistics warehouse to get blue work clothes, white gloves and other items, and then took her to the forging workshop.

Then, as soon as the director of the forging workshop came up, he scolded the man from the labor and management department who had walked away, scolding him for sending a useless woman here.

The actual situation is that Qin Huairu was specially asked to come here by the director of the forging workshop, otherwise he would have been sent to the fitter.

On Qin Huairu's first day at work, in order to express herself, she put on work clothes and gloves and started working hard.

However, as soon as she was an apprentice, some people specially brought her to the forging workshop. Besides doing manual labor, what else could she do...

The key is that the workshop director said hello in advance. Although the big men around him are greedy, they will not get into trouble with the director today.

At noon, Qin Huairu took off her new gloves that had several holes in them. After cleaning the wounds with public soap under the faucet, she carried the aluminum lunch box under her arm and went to the third cafeteria.

Outside the third cafeteria, she found that Ma Xiuzhen and her mother-in-law were also there. She was about to step forward to say hello, but she saw the second daughter of the Zhang family running out of the cafeteria excitedly, with three white-faced steamed buns stuck on the chopsticks she held in her right hand.

Then I saw Ma Xiuzhen flattening the buns one by one with both hands, putting them into a bulging white cloth bag, and then walked out of the factory.

For a moment, Qin Huairu compared herself with Ma Xiuzhen and felt that she was more beautiful, but her son was still young and not as sensible as Zhang Heping...

Hungry led Qin Huairu into the third canteen, queued up obediently, and then slowly moved to the meal window, handing over 2 taels of meal tickets and 1 cent of vegetable tickets.

A steamed bun, a few chopped cabbage leaves, and half a box of soup were all eaten by Qin Huairu in two or three bites.

Then, she had the nerve to find a seat and sit down, looking around the canteen, and saw Silly Pillar inside the meal window, smiling and waving at her.

In the afternoon, it was still hard work of moving things. Before getting off work, Qin Huairu felt so hungry that her chest pressed against her back.

However, when she passed by Canteen No. 3 after get off work, she didn't have a meal ticket to go in.

At that moment, hunger was like a demon, biting at her sanity. When she saw people on the road, she was thinking, she can't eat people!

"Hey! Sister Qin..."
