The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

In the afternoon, Liu Minghui packed up his things and left work. He put on his big cotton-padded jacket and rode his bicycle to pick up Yu Li from get off work.

When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was still quite early, so Liu Minghui planned to wait outside.

"Section Chief Liu."

At this time, a shout came from the opposite side, and it was Liu Minghui, so Liu Minghui immediately looked across the street.

The street office was across the street. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Director Wang. Without wasting any time, Liu Minghui turned his bike around and rode across the street.

"Director Wang, is there anything wrong?"

Liu Minghui still respected Director Wang very much. He recalled that when he first moved into the courtyard, Director Wang had helped him. Liu Minghui was not an ungrateful person, so he helped Director Wang when he needed help.

"I just thought you looked like me, so I called out to you. I didn't expect it to be true."

Director Wang said with a smile.

"Aren't you here to pick up your wife from get off work?"

Liu Minghui looked a little embarrassed.

"This is the husband of saleswoman Yu. I heard that he comes to pick up his wife from get off work every day, rain or shine."

"I think this is a model couple. They love each other so much. I'm really envious."

The aunties from the street office were pointing and talking, but from their words it could be heard that Liu Minghui left a very good impression on them.

"Have the ladies just got off work?"

No matter how thick-skinned Liu Minghui was, he couldn't withstand so many people's praise, so he could only change the subject and ask questions.

"Don't mention it. There are a lot more people in Sijiu City during this period. These people came here because their hometowns were severely affected by the disaster. We are just about to go over to take a look."

After hearing this, the smile on Director Wang's face disappeared and she showed a sad expression. She also came from that era and naturally felt very sympathetic towards these people, but she was just a small street office director and did not have the ability to support so many people.

The best possible outcome would probably be to send the people back to their original places of residence, otherwise even the city would not be able to accommodate such a large population.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui didn't know how to answer, but he also wanted to contribute, so he spoke to Director Wang who was about to leave.

"Director Wang, can I go over and take a look?"

Director Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with it and readily agreed to Liu Minghui's request.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui asked Director Wang to wait for a moment. He went to find Yu Li who was at work, told her that he would be back later tonight, and then followed Director Wang and others to the relief station for the resettlement personnel.

"These were originally a few dilapidated courtyard houses, but now several large houses have been built and we have separated the men and women into separate houses."

Director Wang introduced as he walked.

"We will provide two meals a day. Although it is not much, it is barely acceptable. The food approved by the higher authorities is not much."

"Every day, those who are strong enough will go out to find work, such as pulling carts or helping to carry things."

Liu Minghui followed behind Director Wang and watched him visit everyone one by one. Most of them were children and women, with relatively few men. Basically, those who could come here were all strong and strong, and they probably had some skills to get food along the way.

Liu Minghui followed behind Director Wang and couldn't help but sigh when he saw many girls in their teens and twenties.

"If these people go back, they will probably have a hard time because of the lack of men in their families."

There is a big difference between having a man in the family and not having one now. If you have one, you will never be bullied.

"Director Wang, you see there are so many girls, why don't you think of a way to match them up? You know, there are many bachelors in our street now."

Liu Minghui gave Director Wang an idea.

But Director Wang couldn't be happy. She had thought about this a long time ago, but the elders in the family would basically not agree. People wanted to go to a place with a clear origin. Even if Director Wang said that they would be given a permanent residence in the city, few people would agree.

Director Wang shook his head and continued walking inside without explaining in detail to Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui made a rough estimate that there were probably more than a hundred people here, and women and children accounted for more than half of them. Thinking of the little food stored in his space, Liu Minghui made up his mind.

In the evening, Liu Minghui returned to the courtyard and spent more than half an hour going to the rescue station, but Yu Li had already returned.

"I'm back. What does Director Wang want to talk to you about?"

Liu Minghui didn't say what he was going to do just now, he just said that Director Wang wanted to see him about something.

"Nothing, just a trip to the aid station."

Liu Minghui was not in a good mood and didn't want to talk about it in too much detail.

Seeing this, Yu Li didn't ask any questions. She put down what she was holding and went to the kitchen to bring out the food.

"Let's eat. It's getting late."

It was already dark outside, and there was only one electric light at the main gate of the courtyard, which could barely illuminate half of the front yard.

It gets dark early now, so it won't be too late for dinner. It's just that Liu Minghui came back late today, and the other residents in the courtyard have basically finished their dinner by then.

"it is good."

The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Liu Minghui was tired early this morning, so he picked up the bowl and started eating.

After dinner, Yu Li took the children to the inner room first. Liu Minghui just said something and quietly left the courtyard. He was planning to do something big.

But first he had to go into the space.

As soon as you come in, you can find that there is still warm sunshine in the space, and there is a big ball of light above your head, but you don’t know if it is the real sun.

According to Liu Minghui's speculation, this should be just a projection. Liu Minghui has not seen darkness in the space for such a long time.

But now is not the time to think about these things. He hurried to the warehouse, took out the corn flour bought outside, and Liu Minghui compared it with the corn flour produced in his own space.

Liu Minghui planned to send out all the corn flour in his warehouse, but he was afraid that it would be different from those outside, so he could only compare them carefully.

Liu Minghui took a closer look and found that there was no difference in appearance. He made some steamed buns with different textures and tasted them, and found that they all looked the same as long as they had not been watered by the spiritual spring water before.

Now Liu Minghui was satisfied. He was just afraid that if there was a difference, someone would easily find out about him if they wanted to.

After all, he had supplied the steel mill many times.

Liu Minghui made some statistics and found that there were dozens of warehouses that had been preserved before. Each warehouse occupied an area of ​​about 400 square meters and stored nearly a thousand tons of grain.

This one weighs 20 jin, mainly because the space was used for automatic planting and harvesting before, and Liu Minghui felt that he would not panic if he had food in his hands, so he saved so much.

However, this amount of food is just a drop in the bucket and can only ease the situation near Sijiu City.
