By this time, Sha Zhu had already picked up the brick and was looking at He Daqing, waiting for his instructions.

He Daqing was not vague and directly ordered to smash all the glass.

Hearing that the window was really going to be smashed, Jia Zhang hurriedly shouted loudly.

"I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back, please don't break the glass."

Upon hearing this, He Daqing stopped Sha Zhu's actions and scolded him loudly.

"Hurry up and take out the money. Don't make yourself uncomfortable. It's so cold and cold that I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

After a few minutes, Qin Huairu came out. Her face was pale and her eyes were red. She was holding a dozen big black coins in her hand and staring at He Yuzhu.

Seeing Sister Qin like this, Sha Zhu felt distressed again.

He Daqing took a few steps forward and took the money, speaking loudly.

"I, He Daqing, have something to say. Life is tough these days. If you want our He family to help, that's fine."

"We are all neighbors, and we have lived together for many years. You can lend a helping hand when we are in trouble, but don't think of plotting against our He family."

"If it happens again, don't blame me for really disregarding everyone's feelings and embarrassing you."

After saying that, she dragged Sha Zhuzi home, and Sha Zhu kept looking back at Sister Qin.

The drama finally came to an end.

The neighbors were all walking back in groups of three or four. This time the Jia family lost more than they gained. When they borrowed the money, they had no intention of paying it back, so they ate and ate lavishly during that time.

I ate a lot of good food. I didn't keep most of the money I borrowed from Sha Zhu, I spent it all.

Taking out so much money now would have to use up Jia Zhang's savings, which made her so distressed that she lay in bed groaning at night and hadn't slept well for several nights.

After that, the compound was completely quiet.

The street office came to inform us that there was a policy from above that every household would have to reduce some of their rations.

After the food ration was reduced, except for the working men who could eat until they were 70% full, the rest of the people were guaranteed not to starve to death.

At this time, everyone was using their own skills to bring home anything edible, and the price of food coupons on the black market had risen again. That's it, if you go too late, you won't be able to buy it.

Zhang Minghui doesn’t dare to eat too well now. He just follows the crowd and eats two meals a day. All his neighbors are pale and thin.

If your face is covered in greasy food, it's obvious that there's something wrong, and then eight hundred people will report you.

So during this period, Zhang Minghui's face was yellow and pale, just like his neighbors. He only ate meat occasionally.

But Doudou was not starving. The little girl was in the growing period and she couldn't let her body falter, so she secretly fed her some delicious food every night.

He also gave many warnings and instructions.

"Don't tell anyone outside."

Both of them spoke with their ears closed, afraid that the deaf old lady next door would hear them.

There is no problem with the deaf old lady. She is supported by the government and has no shortage of food.

But the old lady is greedy and always wants to eat something good. But now food has become a problem, there is a shortage of non-staple food, and there is nowhere to buy meat.

Doudou is very smart. She knows that her brother is capable, but she never tells anyone. She just becomes more and more dependent on Zhang Minghui. She is always annoyed by Zhang Minghui and feels a little nervous when she can't see him.

Nowadays, there are more and more thieves and food robbers on the streets, and the public security is particularly bad.

You have to be careful during the day, and you have to be especially careful if you want to go out at night. Usually you have to go out with several people.

I heard from people in the courtyard that several people were robbed in Nanluoguxiang.

A few days later, the neighborhood office sent a notice asking neighbors to be extra careful. The public security is not very good now because of the food shortage. Everyone should try not to go out at night.

The police stations of the Public Security Bureau have increased their patrol efforts, but there are still people who take risks.

Zhang Minghui felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do. Food is the most important thing for people, and if they were really starving, they would not care about these things.

Zhang Minghui didn't experience what it was like to be hungry, but he knew it from the neighbors in the compound. Some residents who didn't have enough food only had one meal a day, and they had to eat a steamed bun to get by.

When the aunts and sisters are really hungry, they start drinking a lot of water, which can increase the feeling of fullness in the stomach, delay hunger and control appetite.

The saved food rations were all supplied to the masters in the family, for fear that the masters would not have enough to eat and something might happen in the factory.

You have to know that most of the gentlemen in the compound work in the workshops, which is heavy physical labor. If they don't have the physical strength, accidents will easily happen.

Now that food rations have been reduced and families are starving, hunting has become the first choice for these people.

Many people in the city want to go to the mountains to get some meat, but now it is impossible to go into the mountains because the villages near the mountains have formed a guard team.

No one is allowed to approach.

They have real weapons in their hands and patrol 24 hours a day. If you dare to get close, they will beat you up. If they make you angry, they will just pick up their guns.

The Jia family ran out of food a few days ago. Qin Huairu borrowed food from everyone in the yard but couldn't get any.

Later, I returned to the village with Jia Dongxu to get some food. I was chased back in disgrace, and I hadn't been back for several years. Now that I'm short of food, I think of coming back. How can I give you a good face?

Food is life now, who dares to lend you their life? Jia Zhang had no choice but to take money out of the small treasury and let Jia Dongxu buy some food from the black market.

Zhang Minghui's family has no shortage of food, so he is not thinking about food now.

Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with his life span, which had only increased by five years, and he could only live to 37. How could Zhang Minghui accept his untimely death?

I finally got a new life, and I have so many good days to enjoy!

Zhang Minghui has inquired with the system and learned that there is no time limit and he can complete it whenever he wants.

Zhang Minghui didn't dare to believe what the system said. He always felt that the system would make some unexpected mistakes, so he had to hurry up and finish this task.

The destiny still lies in your own hands.

Zhang Minghui thought about it these past two days and decided that there was an opportunity to practice with Yi Zhonghai's family first to see how many years of life he could recover.

After making up his mind, Zhang Minghui wrote a letter and prepared to give it to the aunt's home. After walking to the Moon Gate, he suddenly slapped himself and turned back to his home.

Sitting on the kang, he couldn't help but sigh and mutter to himself.

"Oh, I'm so confused. How can I not have a brain? An old lady can't recognize many words! Even if I gave her the letter, she wouldn't recognize most of the words. It's a waste of writing so much."

Most of the women in the orphanage have never been to school.

After liberation, the street office organized a literacy class, and everyone in the courtyard went to learn it. Everyone was familiar with simple characters, but they couldn't recognize complex characters.
