Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

However, as a key unit, the steel rolling mill will try its best to ensure the quantitative supply for front-line workers despite the limited food rations.

However, the Jia family lived a hard life, as they had rural household registration and the rations were far from enough.

Especially under the strict control of Pigeon City, buying food has become more difficult, and the Jia family currently has five people to feed.

Jia Dongxu's high salary could not make up for the family's food shortage. Without Yi Zhonghai's assistance, their family might really have fallen into starvation.

Jia Dongxu was deeply worried about this. He could not bear to let his mother, wife and children go hungry.

Therefore, he had to reduce his food intake as much as possible, having lunch in the factory cafeteria and skipping breakfast and dinner as much as possible.

During this period, the average family only ate two meals a day, or even one meal.

Yi Zhonghai felt that this approach was unsustainable, so he turned his attention to He Yuzhu, but having learned from his last lesson, he decided to make the request privately first.

However, it was not appropriate for him to go alone, so he went to find Liu Haizhong first.

“Old Liu, the Jia family is having a hard time right now, and the whole family depends on Jia Dongxu’s rationed living.

“I have provided some support, but it is still not enough.

"Yi Zhonghai explained.

Liu Haizhong was surprised: "Old Yi, you don't still want to ask He Yuzhu for help, do you? It's only been a few months.

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just watch them starve to death, right?"

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Liu Haizhong frowned. "Both of you have received the same amount of food. Isn't ten kilograms of cornmeal enough for you to provide for me every month?"

Liu Haizhong was somewhat reluctant about this. After all, he had been in the limelight and lost face last time.

"Jia Dongxu has lost a lot of weight now. He has elderly parents and young children to take care of. How could he bear to let his family go hungry?" Yi Zhonghai stressed, "If someone starved to death in our compound, it would be a big deal.

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to convince Yan Bugui.

"It's definitely not enough for the two of us alone. This time, the three of you have to act together!" Yi Zhonghai stood up and walked straight to the front yard.

It is not easy to convince Yan Bugui, after all, the Yan family may not be short of food.

Despite the large population, they were all registered as urban residents and everyone had a fixed ration.

Even if the ration is small, the total amount for a family cannot be ignored.

Moreover, Yan Bugui would exchange fine grains for coarse grains every month.

Even during years of famine, each family's circumstances were different, and there were always some who were relatively wealthy and more inclined to eat refined grains.

Arriving at Yan Bugui's house, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door, opened it and said, "Old Yan, the Jia family is really having a hard time making ends meet now.

Yan Bugui understood immediately that Yi Zhonghai was in trouble again, and responded: "Old Yi, life is not easy for everyone now.

“I know, but except for Jia Dongxu, everyone else in the Jia family has a rural household registration, as you know.

"Yi Zhonghai continued," Who can be blamed for this? Jia Zhang was unwilling to change her household registration to an urban one in order to obtain the land in the countryside. Even after Qin Huairu married into the family, she still did not agree.

“Later, when the household registration could no longer be changed at will, their family panicked, and now that the rations are insufficient, they can’t blame anyone else.

"Yan Bugui added.

Yi Zhonghai was helpless, but wasn't Jia Zhang just after those few acres of land? After she moved to the city, the land was given to her family to cultivate, and later a production team and a commune were established to distribute food according to work points.

"Don't talk about this anymore, it's useless to talk about it now.

They don't have enough food at home, are they really going to watch people starve to death?" Yi Zhonghai said seriously.

"I can only afford ten kilograms of cornmeal every month. How can I continue like this?"

“If people really starve to death, how are we going to explain to the street office?” “When the time comes, all three of us bosses will be punished.

"Yan Bugui frowned. This question was indeed difficult to ask, and Yi Zhonghai's target was obviously still He Yuzhu.

"So what are you going to do?" Yan Bugui asked.

Yi Zhonghai replied: “I plan to hold a general meeting, so that everyone can brainstorm and donate more if they have more, and less if they have less.

" "Just wait until the famine is over. The key is to make sure no one goes hungry.

Yi Zhonghai no longer directly targeted He Yuzhu this time because he knew it was unrealistic. In view of the previous lessons, his primary concern now was Jia Dongxu's family.

He must ensure that the Jia family has food to eat, and this is his favor to the Jia family, and his goal is to provide continuous help.

However, he did not want to bear it all alone. Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give his all and he always held back.

But technically, he was fully committed and worked with them every day to strengthen their relationship.

Hearing that this was not directed at He Yuzhu, Yan Bugui felt a lot more relieved.

The steel rolling mill in the factory has a large number of employees. There are seven households in the factory alone, and most of the others belong to the factory's affiliated units. Although the situation is not very good, it can still be maintained.

"Okay, I agree.

" Yan Bugui nodded in agreement.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Okay, let's set it for tomorrow night.

" After saying this, he stood up and said goodbye.

But Yan Bugui was not completely reassured, as he still had to notify He Yuzhu's family because their fine grains had already been exchanged to the He family.

Due to their large population, their family has more fine grains than other families, and He Yuzhu is willing to exchange it all with them, otherwise it would be difficult for Yan Bugui to find other ways.

In addition, He Yuzhu gave them some extra.

Although their family didn't eat well, they didn't starve.

Yan Bugui was taking care of the flowers and plants in the front yard, waiting for He Yuzhu and his family to come back.

Today is Sunday, and the three members of the He family went to the Wen family.

This was a common occurrence, because He Yuzhu could enjoy a good meal with his family at the Wen family's house without having to worry about anyone else.

In addition, the eldest daughter's family and the second daughter's family will also come.

Mr. Wen has retired, and the children from both families spend most of their time here.

But we didn't dare let them eat too well. After all, children have big mouths and if they say nonsense at school, we will be in big trouble.

There was good news when I went to the Wen family today: Wen Li was pregnant.

Since 1960, He Yuzhu and Wen Li had agreed to consider having children.

I have been married for more than three years and am now pregnant, so the time is right for the baby to be born.

Children born at this time will not be greatly affected when storms come in the future. The key lies in how they are educated. He Yuzhu hopes that they can receive higher education.

Therefore, the two have been cautious.

After the Wen family announced the good news today, everyone was very happy.

After He Yuzhu and his family came back, Yan Bugui came forward and said, “Zhuzi, Yi Zhonghai wants to call on the whole hospital to donate grain to the Jia family.

"Huh?" He Yuzhu was stunned. "Again?"

“This time it’s targeting the entire hospital, not just you, so I agreed.

But the specific situation still needs to be observed!" Yan Bugui was not completely sure, after all, it was unclear what Yi Zhonghai would say at that time.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand.

"You better be careful!" Yan Bugui reminded.

"Do not worry.

"He Yuzhu was not worried. After all, he had a new reason - his wife was pregnant, so how could she give food to others? Moreover, not only was their family about to have a new baby, but He Yushui was also going to take the college entrance examination, so the problem of inadequate nutrition could not be ignored.

He Yushui had excellent academic performance and was previously taken care of by his brother He Yuzhu. After Wen Li got married, he took over this task.

He Yuzhu's father is a teacher at a normal school, so it was no problem for He Yushui to get into university. Although it might not be a top school, she chose textile technology as her major, which was also her own choice.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but recall the plot. He Yushui was obviously not an ordinary worker. When Lou Xiao'e went home, she was still on business trips frequently, which was inconsistent with the living conditions of a worker.

Considering the story of her high school classmate Yu Haitang, who entered the steel rolling mill around 1965, it can be inferred that she should have studied broadcasting.

Finally, she was assigned to the steel rolling mill, where she had the opportunity to come into contact with Yang Weimin, and everything fit together.

He Yuzhu felt gratified by this. It was a good thing for a family to have a college student. Moreover, their family background was special. As a family of hired farmers for three generations, they were proletarian intellectuals. Such an origin gave them certain advantages in society.

After returning home, He Yuzhu reminded his family that if he came back late the next day, he would not be able to attend the whole hospital meeting.

The next morning, He Yuzhu got up early again to cook. After that incident, someone noticed his daily routine at home and confirmed that he was indeed the one cooking.

After breakfast is ready, he will prepare lunch boxes for his wife and sister, because both he and his wife are at work and his sister is at school, so the house is often empty.

When they got home in the evening, Wen Li corrected homework while He Yushui studied. The two sisters-in-law lived together, but no one cooked.

Until He Yuzhu gets home from get off work, or brings back a lunch box, but now there are fewer lunch boxes, so He Yuzhu can get home on time most of the time.

Now is the ** era, fewer people ask He Yuzhu for help, even factories are no exception.

It seemed that He Yuzhu's family was beginning to face difficulties, but in fact their life was not lacking. For example, they had eggs every day to supplement their nutrition, and they could cook simple dishes, such as boiled eggs or steamed cakes, which had a light taste.

When He Yuzhu cooks outside, he mainly uses vegetables and adds some peanut oil to enhance the flavor, but peanut oil is not as fragrant as lard.

There was a lot of meat, but he tried to control the amount so that the yard would not be filled with the smell of meat.

In those days, when meat was in short supply, he often cooked boiled chicken or mouth-watering chicken, served with only a simple dipping sauce.

A sumptuous meal is prepared at the Wen family every week. Although there is a lack of pork, there is plenty of other meats and oils.

In the evening, He Yuzhu got off work on time and rode his bike home faster than Yi Zhonghai and others.

Then he started cooking, preparing steamed buns, vegetables and pickles from the cellar, and the whole family had dinner together.

At this time, people who worked in the yard came back one after another, and most families had someone at home, so they came back directly to eat.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui convened a meeting of the entire institute.

In addition to Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui have large families and many children.

Liu Hai had a specific purpose today. He promised Yi Zhonghai not just for the glory, but because his eldest son Liu Guangqi was about to get married.

Liu Guangqi was his most beloved son, so the wedding naturally could not be sloppy.

However, their house only had a wing at the back, with limited living space.

Therefore, they planned to rent a house outside for the wedding, and preparing the banquet was also a big problem.

At most, only two tables of banquets can be set up, but these two tables must not be shabby. At the same time, the supplies needed for Liu Guangqi's wedding must not be less, including sewing machines, bicycles and other items.

Liu Haizhong was willing to cooperate with Yi Zhonghai this time because he wanted to take this opportunity to understand the real situation of He Yuzhu's family and see if they still had any spare energy so that he could be prepared in the future.

He thought so in his mind, but Yi Zhonghai was completely unaware of it.

Liu Haizhong originally planned to find He Yuzhu. This was Liu Guangqi's idea. Now it was just the right time to take advantage of the whole institute meeting proposed by Yi Zhonghai to observe.

The people gathered quickly. It was May and the weather was moderate.

"Today we are holding a meeting of the entire hospital, the main goal is to help the Jia family!" Liu Haizhong spoke first so as not to miss the discussion, "This matter will be explained in detail by the elders of our hospital.
