Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Director Wang really didn't want to answer the call, knowing that the call was just to ask for food distribution, but he couldn't not answer it. If it was a call from his superior, it would be troublesome. So he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, where are you?"

The district chief's voice came from the other end of the line: "Comrade Xiao Wang, I called you this time to ask if you can get some food. You know that our district is in great difficulty."

Director Wang said with a bitter face: "District Chief, this is difficult for me, but I will go and ask. If there is any news, I will inform you."

After hanging up the phone, Director Wang had no choice but to leave the street office again.

Siheyuan, west wing.

Lin Ping was holding his little girl and teasing her. The little girl was chubby, and her big dark eyes swayed back and forth with Lin Ping's hand. She blew little bubbles from time to time, which made Lin Ping's heart melt.

At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Lin Ping handed the child to Lin Qingya and came to the courtyard. When he opened the door and saw Director Wang, he smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, why are you here? Come in and talk."

As soon as Director Wang entered the room, he put the milk powder he had prepared on the table, picked up the little girl and said with a smile: "This girl is really strong and lovable. It's because your family has good nutrition that she is so plump and fair."

Lin Ping poured Director Wang a glass of water and said with a smile, "Auntie Wang, if you come, just come. Why do you bring anything with you?"

Director Wang held the little girl in his arms, rolled his eyes at Lin Ping and said, "I'm just worried that my granddaughter won't have enough milk."

Hearing this, Lin Ping chuckled and said, "Aunt Wang is so busy but still thinking about the little girl. It really troubles Aunt Wang."

Director Wang looked at Lin Qingya and said, "Qingyan, how are you feeling?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, I'm in good health. I'll go back to work after I'm done with the confinement period."

She knew that Director Wang must have something to do when he came to see Brother Pingzi, so she hugged the little girl and said, "Auntie Wang, you guys chat, I'll go out and see what Qingya is doing."

After Lin Qingya left, Lin Ping asked, "Auntie Wang, are you short of food?"

Director Wang sighed and said, "That's right, but forget it if you want to make things difficult for me. Food is really hard to get right now."

Lin Ping originally wanted to sell the grain, firstly to help the people, and secondly to save some money for himself to use in the reform and opening up, so he smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, don't worry, I'll ask for you, there shouldn't be any problem."

Director Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "That's great. If you can really get some food, you'll be helping Aunt Wang a lot."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let Aunt Wang know when there's any news."

Director Wang left contentedly. Sisters Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingya came in and asked, "Brother Pingzi, what does Aunt Wang want to talk to you about?"

Lin Ping knew that the two sisters were worried about him, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want you to get some supplies. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

11pm.

Han Qingxue was looking around at the door of her house. Suddenly, Lin Ping appeared in front of her. She was startled and couldn't help but pat Lin Ping and said angrily, "Brother Pingzi, you scared me to death."

Lin Ping didn't answer. He picked up Han Qingxue and jumped out of the courtyard wall, then returned to the west wing as if he was familiar with the route. This had happened countless times.

After a night of passion, Lin Ping sent Han Qingxue home again at daybreak. When they returned home, Lin Qingyan was still lying on the bed exhausted. When she saw Lin Ping coming back, she rolled her eyes at him and turned around to continue sleeping.

Three days later, at eight o'clock in the evening, the staff of the street office were talking excitedly in the yard until Director Wang came in and they quieted down.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Everyone knows what we are going to do today, so we will all have some foresight."

Everyone said in unison: "Don't worry, Director, we will definitely cooperate well."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Just when everyone was about to go out, District Chief Hu came in with his men.

Director Wang looked unhappy when he saw this. It seemed that his actions were known to his superiors. He looked at the street office staff with sharp eyes.

The street office staff were also dumbfounded. No one told anyone about it. They were not fools. They didn't know how other families were living and what kind of life were they living?

District Chief Hu saw Director Wang's expression and knew what Director Wang was thinking. He smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Wang, don't make blind guesses. It wasn't someone from your street who leaked the information. I arranged for someone to keep an eye on you. You also know the current situation. I had no choice but to do this. You have to understand my difficulties."

Director Wang knew that it was difficult up there, but even so she was unwilling to reveal the source of the food, so she frowned and said, "Then let's go."

District Chief Hu was delighted when he heard this. As long as he could get in touch with that person, how could the district still be short of food?

Director Wang led the driver out of East City and drove to the opposite place where Lin Ping had agreed to go. The driver asked, "Director, did we go the wrong way?"

Director Wang gave the driver a sharp look, and the driver immediately shut up.

We stopped at a random place and waited there with District Chief Hu. No one showed up until midnight. District Chief Hu frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, are you not coming?"

Director Wang sighed and said, "Maybe something went wrong. Why don't we go back first? I'll go ask tomorrow."

District Chief Hu had no choice but to come with high hopes and leave with disappointment.

Street Office.

Director Wang sent District Chief Hu away, then looked at everyone and asked, "Do you agree with me doing this?"

Sister Li stood up and said, "Director, you are right. They gave us food, so we can't be ungrateful and expose them, don't you think?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Sister Li is right. If it weren't for Pingzi, we all know what kind of life we ​​would have lived. We can't be ungrateful."

Director Wang smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. He really had the morale of the troops. Then he said, "Don't worry, I will contact you about the food. I will never let you go hungry."

Let’s talk about Lin Ping again. After waiting in the grove until twelve o’clock but still no sign of Director Wang, he decided to go to the street office to see what happened.

So when Director Wang was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting and then inform Lin Ping, Lin Ping appeared at the gate. After Lin Ping figured out the whole story, he was very moved. He knew that Director Wang was protecting him and would rather offend her boss to protect him, which made Lin Ping feel warm in his heart. It was not in vain that he made friends with Aunt Wang.

Lin Ping knew that District Chief Hu was from Old Liu's side, so he smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, thank you for your protection, but next time District Chief Hu comes, you should bring him with you, because he is one of us."

Director Wang was annoyed when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell me earlier and let me offend my boss?"

Lin Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "Auntie Wang, I'll apologize to you. How about giving you an extra 10,000 kilograms of flour?"

Director Wang and the people in the street office's eyes lit up when they heard this. This way, the corn flour could be used to give the martyrs' families in need, and they could keep the white flour for themselves. It was not that they were selfish and did not want to give white flour to the martyrs' families, but giving white flour would easily cause trouble.

So everyone came to the grove again and worked until three o'clock to bring the 200,000 kilograms of corn flour and 10,000 kilograms of white flour back to the street office. They divided the white flour on the spot, about 100 kilograms per person. This made the street office staff smile. Now they were not short of food, so of course they could keep the white flour for themselves.

Lin Ping made a fortune again. He sold flour to the street at one yuan per pound, which made everyone very grateful.

When Li Tong was a little girl and couldn't carry the things on her way home, Lin Ping helped her carry them back. Looking at Lin Ping's figure walking in front of her, Li Tong felt dazed for a moment, then shook her head, thinking, Li Tong, what are you thinking about, she's already married.

The next morning.

Director Wang called District Chief Hu and said that he had gone to the wrong place last night, and only later did people come to his door to get the grain back.

District Chief Hu didn't think much about it and asked quickly, "How much food did you bring back?"

Director Wang smiled and said, “District Chief, we can distribute 100,000 kilograms to the district.”

District Chief Hu was overjoyed when he heard this. With these 100,000 kilograms of grain, he no longer had to beg for help from everyone. So he smiled and said, "Wait, I'll send someone to get the grain right away." Then he hung up the phone.

Director Wang thought to himself, why didn't the district chief ask about the price? Director Wang didn't know that District Chief Hu was almost dying. He used to be able to get some grain from other places, but now he can't get any at all, and many people are asking him for money. It's really hard for him, so no matter what the price of these grains is, he will take them.

Steel rolling mill.

In the small canteen, Director Yang was drinking with Li Huaide. Apart from enough grain to cover the steel mill's expenses, the rest of the grain was given to the two of them as favors.

Seeing that the food supply was running out, Director Yang could no longer sit still, so he went to discuss the food issue with Li Huaide. Director Yang said straight to the point: "Old Li, our factory is running out of food. Do you think we can contact the person who sells the food?"

Li Huaide said confidently, "Old Yang, don't worry about the food. I will take care of it when the time comes. Let's not talk about business today, just drink."

With the fine grains given by Lin Ping, Li Huaide has been doing very well recently, so his goal now is not only the position of steel rolling mill director, but to go to a higher level.

Director Yang felt relieved after hearing this. He also wanted to find out the source of Li Huaide's food, but no matter how he investigated, he couldn't find out. Moreover, the security department was very tight-lipped, which made him very uncomfortable.

Siheyuan.

The children in the courtyard could all have a full meal at the Lin family, so the family could still make ends meet, but they still had to go outside the city to dig wild vegetables.

In the morning, the third aunt went out with a basket to pick wild vegetables. After saying hello to Grandma Zhang, she was about to go out when she saw Qin Huairu dragging the reluctant Jia Zhang to the front yard with a basket. The third aunt couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huairu, your family is also going to pick wild vegetables. Aren't you going to work?"

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt San, I'm not going. I want you to take my mother-in-law with you, otherwise we won't be able to make ends meet."

Auntie San was surprised and asked, "Shazhu didn't help your family? Qin Yanru is your biological sister."

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said, "Third Aunt, there is no food on the market right now. Who can be rich just by relying on rationed food? I can't let Yanru's family starve."

Auntie San nodded and said, "That's true."

Wang Cui'e also came out with a basket. Seeing that Jia Zhang was also going to dig wild vegetables, she sneered in her heart. Now the Jia family is really the poor family in the courtyard. Other children can have a full meal at the Lin family, but the Jia family can't. Naturally, their life is difficult. However, this cannot be blamed on the Lin family. It was the Jia family who did the thing of intercepting in the first place.

So he sneered, "Hey, isn't this the wealthy Jia Zhang? Why are you also eating wild vegetables?"

It turns out that she didn't mess with the Jia family because she had Master Yi to protect her. Now that Yi Zhonghai is in jail, what is she afraid of?
