Chapter 40: Each with their own thoughts, delivering food to the countryside
"This is not good. I heard that these two children are quite pitiful." Qin Huairu's acting skills are very good. Wang Xiaohu could not tell anything wrong with her aggrieved look.
"What's the big deal? If you've been hungry for a long time, you can't eat too much. I'm doing this for their own good."
"I don't want to eat coarse grains, I want to eat white flour buns~" When Banggeng saw that they were steamed corn bread and two-grain flour buns, and that the two-grain flour buns were mostly corn flour, he immediately became unhappy.
Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said, "Come over and eat when we have white flour in two days."
At this moment, some people have come out to watch the fun, but they are all standing far away. Some are holding bowls, some are holding brooms and sweeping something, and some are looking at the sky and muttering when it will rain.
In fact, everyone was just watching the fun.
"Eat quickly." Wang Xiaohu smiled at the two little girls, "Uncle, these two little girls will come to eat every day in the next few days, so you have to prepare more food."
"Come to eat every day?" Yi Zhonghai looked like he had eaten shit. Although he had a high salary, the ration was so small. "Xiao Hu, every household has little food now. Why don't you send these two children to the street office and let Director Wang take care of it."
He was not afraid that the two kids would eat him out of house and house, but he was afraid that Wang Xiaohu would come back and find ten or eight people to eat together. There were too many people fleeing famine outside now, and if they all agreed, he would be dead.
"What are you talking about? Director Wang asked you to be the uncle because he wanted you to help him solve his problems. If we have to go to Director Wang when we have trouble, then what is the use of being an uncle? The two children can't eat much, you won't be reluctant to let them go, right?"
As soon as Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, Liu Haizhong came over with a rice bowl and a belly bigger than Qin Huairu's and said, "Old Yi, you are the most well-off in the whole hospital. You won't refuse, right?"
"As long as those of us who are capable lend a hand to help others, the country will be a better place. This is what you, uncle, said." Wang Xiaohu smiled with his eyes narrowed. The two children must be sent to the street office, but they have to figure out how to deal with them. If they are sent back to the countryside, they may not survive.
As for adoption...even Yi Zhonghai has no idea, let alone others. We have to trouble Director Wang for this matter.
"How could that be? I'm just worried that the food is not good and will affect the growth of the child..."
"How could that be? Look how deliciously the two children are eating. You wouldn't think that everyone is like some people who only eat white flour buns." When Wang Xiaohu said this, he was looking at Qin Huairu, and the others also applauded secretly.
"How about this, I'll go to the street office and talk about this tomorrow, or can everyone contribute money and food to help these two little girls?" Yi Zhonghai felt that he couldn't talk any more. If he continued, who knew what he would say, which would affect his reputation.
As expected, when everyone heard that they had to contribute money and food, they all ran away quickly, not even bothering to watch the fun.
"Uncle, we're done eating." Jin Xiaohe patted her belly. She had just understood what was said. She was eight years old and knew what had happened. She just wanted to stay alive with her sister and at least have a full meal.
"When we get back, your uncle will steam some steamed buns for you. Since your uncle doesn't want to, forget it. My mom will go to Director Wang by herself." Wang Xiaohu left with the two children. There was no need to say anything else. Everyone could see what you, Yi Zhonghai, had done.
I believe that in the future there will no longer be such ridiculous things as donating money and food. Otherwise, everyone will do it, pulling a group of refugees here, and thinking that you are morally noble, try to be even more morally noble.
Obviously everyone had thought of this, and they were all looking at the Jia family with amusement in their eyes.
Qin Huairu was about to bite her teeth off. Her heart sank when she saw what had just happened. There was really no one in the hospital who could be trusted.
In addition to what happened today, it would be much more difficult for her to borrow things from people in the courtyard in the future. As soon as she asked, everyone would say that even the uncle was like this and they didn’t have any extra food.
It seems that I can only hold on to Sha Zhu tightly, and I will have to rely on Yi Zhonghai once I enter the factory.
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, returned to the house with a sad face, and immediately smiled.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" The aunt was a little panicked when she saw this situation, but she was afraid she would get angry.
"I'm fine. I just feel it's a blessing in disguise. Wang Xiaohu thought he won, but I didn't lose either. You know what kind of people in the courtyard are. They are all selfish and will not do anything without profit. If I hadn't forced them to do so, no one would donate money or grain to the Jia family. It's good that I gave everyone a reason to refuse this time."
Yi Zhonghai drank a sip of tea, picked up a piece of peach cake and took a bite: "I believe Qin Huairu can also see that only we can help her."
"It's just your reputation..."
"It's just a little fame. For the great cause of elderly care, this price must be paid." Yi Zhonghai is very open-minded. He does value fame, but he is willing to use this fame to exchange for a stable old age.
"Actually, I think the two children are great. Why don't we adopt them?" The aunt really liked the two children and also felt sorry for them.
"What's the use of two girls? They will belong to someone else when they grow up, and they won't take care of us in our old age. I think we should just focus on Shazhu and Banggeng. They live in the same courtyard, so it's easier for us to control them." Yi Zhonghai didn't want to raise children for someone else.
He was even unwilling to raise Bang Geng, but let Sha Zhu rush forward, and when he grew up, he would take over the ready-made position to support the elderly.
"That's fine." The aunt could only agree reluctantly. If she didn't make money, her family would have no power. "By the way, where's Zhuzi? I didn't see him just now."
"He was cooking in the factory. New machinery was delivered to the factory in the afternoon, and Director Yang was receiving the people who were delivering the machinery."
Yi Zhonghai touched his stomach and decided that a few pieces of peach cake were enough, so he went to bed to rest.
"So fast? Is the steel mill really going to expand?" asked an older lady in surprise.
"How can this be false? The treatment in the factory will get better in the future." Yi Zhonghai is also full of energy.
……
Wang Xiaohu took his two children back to his home in the front yard.
"Come on, continue eating. You're not full yet." Zhang Hailian also steamed some hot fresh buns.
"We are full. There is no need to eat so much. We won't be hungry when we fall asleep at night." Jin Xiaohe shook her head sensibly.
"Jiujin, Sankuai, take them to take a shower and sleep together tonight." Zhang Lanxi said as she walked out with a bag of things.
"Okay~" Wang Jiujin reached out and took a steamed bun, broke it in two and handed one half to Jin Xiaohe, then took her little hand and went to the faucet. Wang Sankuai followed suit, took the steamed bun made of two pieces of flour and pulled Jin Xiaomiao to follow.
The eldest sister-in-law put the bag of grain on the table. Zhang Hailian opened the bag and said, "Xiaohu, here are 20 kilograms of corn flour and 1 kilogram of white flour. Take them to the countryside to give to grandpa and grandma tomorrow, and take a look at what's going on while you're there."
"Okay, I got it." Wang Xiaohu said as he took out the lock-picking technique he had written down. "Brother, this is the lock-picking technique I wrote down for hanging locks. Take a look at it when you have time."
"That's great, thank you brother." Wang Xiaolong took it as if it were a treasure, not knowing what he wanted to do with it after learning it.
At night, Wang Xiaohu took out the secret book and started reading it.
"Hiss... Are there so many tricks to the force-generating technique?" Wang Xiaohu stood up and tried it. There was actually a sound of wind when he swung his punch.
He turned around and took out the axe from under the bed, and swung it twice. It was easier and smoother, and the sound of the axe could be faintly heard.
If this is used in swordsmanship, can it make the sword sound?
The next day, dawn.
Wang Xiaohu had already gotten up and was ready to go. There was a pickaxe tied to the back of his bicycle, and on top of the pickaxe was the grain bag.
"Xiao Hu, what do you want to do with such a big axe?" Wang Dalu thought of his third uncle when he looked at the axe, and his butt started to hurt.
"I'm not afraid of dangers on the road, such as wild boars, wild bears, bison and so on, hehe." Wang Xiaohu said while wiping his saliva.
"You think too much. You are lucky to encounter a hare." Wang Xiaolong said with a smile after tying the last rope.
Of course Wang Xiaohu knew that in this kind of weather, all the weeds on the roadside were gone, and there were very few animals, but people were actually scarier than animals, so it was safer to carry an axe.
As for the guns in the security department? You're overthinking it. They are all registered and cannot be used indiscriminately.
"Let's go!" He kicked out with all his strength.
After more than half an hour, the children finally woke up.
"Where is my uncle?" Wang Jiujin asked, rubbing his eyes.
"I left early. Come and have breakfast. After breakfast, I will take you two to the street office." It's not that Zhang Hailian didn't want to raise these two children, but she really couldn't afford it. The family was in financial difficulty before, and now the income is better, but there is not enough food. If she could afford it, she wouldn't have only two grandchildren.
