Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiedi looked up at Lin Ping. Seeing that his words did not seem fake, she smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Brother Pingzi."

Lin Qingya brought the food over very quickly. He Yushui had already eaten at home, so he came here just to satisfy his craving, so he didn't eat much.

Seeing that Yan Jie Di was only eating the steamed bun and not picking up any vegetables, he knew that she couldn't let go, so he reached out and picked up a lot of vegetables for her. Yan Jie Di smiled gratefully, and then didn't care about anything else, because she hadn't eaten enough for a long time.

Yan Jiedi was very satisfied with the meal. Only after she was full did she realize that she had eaten so much. Then she looked at Lin Ping with a blushing face, burying his little head in his chest.

He Yushui was afraid that Yan Jiedi would feel embarrassed, so he pulled her to the back room to play with Lin Xuan, Lin Qing and the others.

Lin Qingyan sighed as she watched Yan Jie Di leave contentedly, "Brother Pingzi, children have suffered so much these days. Look, if Jie Di wasn't extremely hungry, she would never come to ask for food. This time, she must have come because she couldn't stand the hunger any more. Look, her eyes are swollen from crying."

Lin Qingya also sighed, "Yes, which family in our courtyard is not in trouble now? If it weren't for our mother's help from time to time, Li Qing's family and Grandma Zhang's family would probably not be able to make ends meet. The situation of Uncle San's family and Li Qing's family is similar and they are really in trouble, otherwise their only daughter would not be starving. How about we lend a hand?"

Lin Ping thought about it and sighed, "Okay, we still have some corn flour at home, you can send it to Uncle San's house, remember to send it later, as for the other families, I'll ask our mother to help them too, we can't let them starve to death."

Although there are not many good people in the courtyard, he is willing to help if he can. He can't just watch people starve to death. After all, living in the same courtyard, there is a saying that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, of course, except for the Jia family.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yan Jie Di had a great time in the back room. After having a full meal, she skipped back to the front yard of Yan's house.

When Yan Fugui saw Yan Jiedi coming back, his little face was full of satisfaction, and he knew that he could get food in the Lin family. Although he expected that Lin Ping would not watch Yan Jiedi starve, he was still grateful to Lin Ping in his heart.

The third aunt was even more delighted. Her daughter finally had a full meal. She took Yan Jie Di in her arms and asked, "Jie Di, are you full?"

Yan Jie Di nodded and said, "Yes, the white flour buns and braised pork we ate at Brother Pingzi's house were delicious."

Then he lowered his head and said, "Mom, I'm sorry I didn't bring some home, but I was too embarrassed to take it."

When the three brothers Yan Jiecheng heard about white flour steamed buns and braised pork, their eyes popped out and they asked, "What? The white flour steamed buns and braised pork you ate at Lin Ping's house? Where did he get the meat coupons and fine grains now?"

Yan Fugui glared and said, "Shut up!"

Then he looked at Yan Jie Di in a gentle tone and said, "Jie Di, remember that we ate steamed bread and cabbage at your brother Pingzi's house, but never any braised pork or white flour buns."

The reason why Yan Fugui said this was because who could afford to eat this thing these days? If other people knew about it, they would surely be jealous, and it might bring trouble to the Lin family, so he reminded Yan Jiedi.

Although Yan Jiedi didn't understand what her father meant, she still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember it."

Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li, and Yan Jiefang were all adults, so they certainly understood what Yan Fugui meant. However, Yan Jiecheng still asked, "Dad, I can explain why Lin Ping's family has meat, but where does this white flour come from?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui patted Yan Jiecheng on the head and said, "Are you stupid? They can't have saved it. Besides, if Pingzi has the ability, can't he exchange it at the pigeon market? You know how precious meat is now. It's not a problem to exchange it for some white flour."

Yan Jiecheng thought about it and it made sense. Nowadays, everyone goes to the Pigeon Market. Anyone who brings up these things will become the enemy of the entire hospital.

But Yan Jiekuang didn't think too much about it. He looked at Yan Jiedi with drooling eyes and said, "Jiedi, can you bring some back for me to try next time?"

Before Yan Jiedi could say anything, Yan Fugui scolded her, "What are you trying to taste? You're lucky to be alive. Look around and see which family can afford meat. All the meat coupons have been exchanged for coarse grains. Besides, your sister can get a meal, but you still want her to bring her back. Do you think your sister won't have anything to eat?"

Yan Jiekuang shrank his neck when he heard this and muttered, "I was just talking, why are you so angry?"

As for Fan Jinyou, he was transferred to the neighborhood committee. He knew that there was no future for him if he continued like this, so he went to Deputy Director Li’s house to buy some things.

When Deputy Director Li saw Fan Jinyou coming, he said with a sullen face, "Fan Jinyou, is this how you do your job? I have cleaned up so many messes for you, why are you so stupid? You are a hopeless case."

Fan Jinyou quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Director Li, I was young and ignorant. You should not bear grudges. But it is not a good idea for me to stay in the neighborhood committee forever."

As he put the things in his hand on the table, Director Li's face relaxed. Usually, Fan Jinyou did this well. What kind of year is it now? Director's family is also short of food, so he said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Fan, you offended Lin Ping. That person is not simple. Our street is now relying on him, and he has a complicated relationship with Director Wang. You should stay in the neighborhood committee for a while. I will find a chance to transfer you back, but you can't provoke him again."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jinyou nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, Director Li. I will try to stay as far away from him as possible from now on."

Deputy Director Li nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back first. Remember to behave well in the neighborhood committee so that I can speak for you when the time comes."

After Fan Jinyou left, Deputy Director Li's wife asked, "Old Li, are you really going to speak up for Fan Jinyou? Lin Ping is not a simple person. He can get away with beating a police officer to death. Don't make a mistake."

Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a fool. What can I do if Director Wang disagrees with the transfer?"

Deputy Director Li's wife rolled her eyes and said, "You are really good."

The next day, Hongxing Police Station.

Li Shengli was lying comfortably in his office chair drinking tea when he saw Zhou Xiangqian rushing in. He quickly stood up and asked, "Director Zhou, why are you here? Do you have any mission?"

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Although the police officers from the police station would not go out and talk nonsense, there were police officers from the branch office living in the same courtyard with them. Their families were experiencing a period of food shortage, but the families of the police officers from the Red Star Police Station all had rosy complexions and it was obvious that they were not short of food. However, when asked carefully, they just laughed it off and refused to say anything. So they went to the branch office leader to ask why the Red Star Police Station was not short of food and whether the branch office had allocated food to them.

When Zhou Xiangqian learned about this situation, he called the man over for a detailed questioning. When he found out that the Red Star Police Station was indeed not short of food, he slammed the table and cursed, calling Li Shengli an ungrateful guy. That's why he rushed to the Red Star Police Station in such a hurry. You know, the comrades in the branch are now too hungry to have any strength. How can they solve the case if this continues?

Seeing Zhou Xiangqian's grim expression, Li Shengli wondered if he had done something wrong, so he asked carefully, "Director Zhou, what's wrong with you? Did someone offend you?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he said this, Zhou Xiangqian slammed the table and said angrily: "How dare you ask? It was you who provoked me!"

Li Shengli thought carefully and realized that he had done nothing wrong during this period, so he asked in confusion: "Director Zhou, if you have something to say, just say it. I really don't know what I did wrong."

Zhou Xiangqian asked with a sullen face, "Li Shengli, do you know what's going on in our branch right now? Everyone is tightening their belts to handle cases, but what about you? You have food but you eat it all by yourself. Have you ever thought about the investigators working on the front lines?"

Li Shengli's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He thought, this is bad. The grain issue has been leaked. If he knew who leaked it, he would skin him alive! However, the police officers in the police station were his soldiers. He had to follow a first come first served principle even if he felt sorry for them. He couldn't help outsiders. Then he would have to quit his job as the station chief.

Although he thought so in his heart, he said: "Director Zhou, you have to consider my difficulties. It's not easy to get some food in the institute. If I take it out and distribute it, how can I continue to be the director?"

Zhou Xiangqian also knew that what Li Shengli said was the truth, and he also knew that he was making things difficult for him, but he had to make things difficult for him, the branch was in such a difficult situation right now, so he sighed and said, "Shengli, it's not that I don't understand your difficulties. I know that it's hard to lead a team when people's hearts are scattered, but you also have to have a sense of the overall situation, and you can't be too selfish. Look at everyone in your police station, they have ruddy faces, and then look at the police officers in the branch, they are refugees compared to you, so I'm not making things difficult for you, you should at least help the branch share some of the burden, right?"

Li Shengli finally understood that Zhou Xiangqian was here to get something for free, so he said with a bitter face: "Director Zhou, we really don't have any food. If you don't believe me, go to the warehouse and take a look. If there is any food, take it away and I will have no complaints."

Zhou Xiangqian knew what Li Shengli was up to, so he said unhappily, "Don't hide it. As far as I know, you guys are not short of food during this period. I didn't plan to go back empty-handed this time. You can do whatever you want."

Seeing Zhou Xiangqian acting like a rogue, Li Shengli rolled his eyes and finally had to tell the truth: "Director Zhou, the food was bought back home by the comrades in the institute, so I really have no food. If you need food, just tell the comrades. As long as they are willing to go home and get the food, I will not say a word."

Zhou Xiangqian was so angry that his nose almost crooked when he heard this. If he did this, he would offend everyone. Knowing that the police station had no food, he sighed and said, "Tell me what you did. Where did you buy the food from?"

Li Shengli thought about it and said, "Director Zhou, if you want to get food, go find Pingzi. All the food here is obtained by Pingzi. But food is so hard to get now, I'm afraid Pingzi can't do anything about it."

Zhou Xiangqian had long wanted to transfer Lin Ping to the branch, but it had never happened. Later, Lin Ping got into trouble and was demoted to a low position, so the matter was shelved. However, he knew that Lin Ping had been assigned by his old leader to work as a purchasing agent in the district, so he ignored Li Shengli and walked straight out of the yard.

Li Shengli didn't care. He thought Zhou Xiangqian went to ask Lin Ping for food. Zhou Xiangqian had helped a lot when Lin Ping got into trouble. He believed that Lin Ping would not blame him for telling Zhou Xiangqian the news.

After Zhou Xiangqian left the police station, he did not go to find Lin Ping, but went to the military compound to find his old leader.
