Director Wang likes Lin Ping more and more the more he looks at him. He respected him at first because Lin Ping came from the battlefield in northern Korea and was a war hero, so he wanted to make friends with him. Now that he sees that Lin Ping has a sense of justice, he likes him even more.

After Director Wang left, Lin Ping calculated the food in the storage space. Since refined rice and white flour had long been enough, Lin Ping later planted mostly coarse grains. After all, coarse grains had a high yield and could save more people.

There are hundreds of thousands of kilograms of white flour, 200,000 kilograms of refined rice, and nearly two million kilograms of corn flour in the space. Lin Ping decided to give all the corn flour to the street this time. Not only is the price cheap, but it can also save more people.

In the evening, Lin Ping followed the same method and put 300,000 kilograms of corn flour into the temporary warehouse on the street, then returned home to continue sleeping.

The next morning.

While eating breakfast, he said to Lin Qingyan, "Qingyan, tell Aunt Wang when you get to work that the matter has been settled, and ask her to prepare people to go and get the food in the evening. I won't show up."

The reason why Lin Ping said this was because he knew that the street was definitely not able to absorb such a large amount. If he went there in person at night, he would definitely come into contact with people he didn't want to contact, so he didn't go. Director Wang knew where to get the food anyway.

Lin Qingyan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. She nodded and said, "I understand. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Seeing Lin Ping shaking his head, Lin Qingyan wiped her mouth and said, "Then I'll go to work first." Then she turned and left.

When Lin Qingya saw her sister leaving, she rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Pingzi, I'm leaving too."

After saying that, he grabbed the steamed bun and tried to run away. Lin Ping said directly, "Wash the dishes first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingya shrugged her head and said, "Oh." Then she went to wash the dishes obediently, thinking that her sister was really not nice.

Looking at Lin Qingya who left with a pout after washing the dishes, Lin Ping smiled and shook his head, his mind entering the kingdom of God to check where the animals were raised.

At this time, in the breeding area, the pigs had given birth. Two pigs and six and a half grown piglets were eating the bran and fallen rotten fruits prepared by Lin Ping, which of course also contained some cornmeal.

As for pheasants, they are raised in the orchard. The number of wild rabbits is the same as that of wild boars, with more than a dozen pairs already. So far, Lin Ping has achieved the freedom to eat meat.

Thinking about the wild boar he promised to the police station, Lin Ping found a deserted place at noon, released a 200-pound wild boar he had harvested before, and ran straight to the police station.

Red Star Police Station.

Lin Qingya was wearing a police uniform and sitting at her desk, working diligently. Since she came to the police station, everyone had been taking good care of Lin Qingya, not only because of the director's instructions, but also because of the monthly reward of one wild boar.

Of course, Lin Qingya's beautiful appearance also attracted the covetousness of young police officers. However, since Lin Qingya came to the police station, she has been cold to everyone, including the director Li Shengli. In addition, because the pair of sisters had lost their lives, the young police officers did not dare to act rashly.

When Lin Ping arrived at the police station carrying the wild boar, the police officers all ran out excitedly. The happiest moment of the month had come. While greeting Lin Ping, they sent people to call the director.

Lin Qingya heard the noise and came to the yard to see that it was Lin Ping. A flower-like smile immediately appeared on her face. She ran over and hugged Lin Ping's arm and said, "Brother Pingzi, did you kill a wild boar again?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "I promised your director to send you one a month. I dare not refuse. What if he tries to make things difficult for you?"

"Pingzi, don't talk about me behind my back. How could I have made things difficult for Qingya? You should know that Qingya is our precious treasure now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shengli walked out of the office with a smile.

Lin Ping smiled and threw a cigarette over and said, "Brother Shengli, how about I keep my word?"

Li Shengli took the cigarette and lit it, saying, "Come on, you're just afraid that I'll treat Qingya badly. Don't worry, as long as you give us a wild boar every month, the station will protect Qingya."

The wild boar was sent to the kitchen to be weighed, and Lin Shengli took Lin Ping to his office.

After sitting down, Li Shengli sighed, "Pingzi, thanks to you for sending wild boars every month, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Lin Ping knew that the rationing at the police station was not as good as that at the steel mill, so he asked, "Is it so difficult at the police station? Have you ever thought of destroying a pigeon market to get food?"

Li Shengli shook his head and said, "You don't know, there is less and less food on the market. Every time there is food in the pigeon market, people go crazy to grab it. If we go to arrest people, we may get stabbed in the back, or even be torn to pieces by the crazy people."

Li Shengli took a puff of cigarette and continued with a wry smile: "Even though you sent us wild boars, none of the comrades were willing to eat them when they returned. They all took them to the pigeon market to exchange for food, otherwise someone in their family would starve. Do you think it's hard for me, the director, to see this?"

Lin Ping also knew that this was unavoidable. Now the whole country was like a chessboard, and everyone was living this way. So he whispered, "Brother Shengli, I can get you some food, but you have to find a car to transport it yourself."

Li Shengli stood up when he heard this, then looked at Lin Ping with a strange look and said, "Pingzi, did you get the food from Director Wang?"

Lin Ping was startled when he heard this. He believed that Director Wang would not say it, so he asked, "Why are you sure it was me?"

Li Shengli knew that he had guessed right when he saw Lin Ping's reaction. He smiled and said, "I know almost all of Director Wang's connections. The street got a batch of grain some time ago. I guessed that Director Wang asked Director Ma to get it. Then I wanted to ask for it. I didn't expect to see Director Ma and his men also asking for it. So I couldn't guess where Director Wang got the grain. I only thought of you when you mentioned it today. I didn't expect it was really you."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Lin Ping could only smile bitterly and said, "Brother Shengli, you are indeed a criminal investigator."

When Li Shengli saw Lin Ping admit it, a flash of joy flashed across his eyes. In fact, he was just guessing, but he didn't expect it to be Lin Ping. So he said excitedly: "Pingzi, you can't ignore me. I am in such a difficult situation."

Lin Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shengli, I can give you food, but I won't show up. You can arrange the rest yourself. If anyone asks, you can't tell me about it. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

Li Shengli nodded repeatedly and said, "Pingzi, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. How much food can you give me?"

Lin Ping thought that the police station had less than a hundred people, and if they had too many, it would be conspicuous, so he pondered and said, "Will five thousand kilograms of corn flour be enough?"

When Li Shengli heard about the five thousand pounds, he immediately grabbed Lin Ping's hand and asked excitedly, "When can we get it? Comrades, we can't wait any longer."

Lin Ping thought about it and said, "Do you have a quiet yard? If not, we can only trade outside the city."

Li Shengli nodded and said, "Yes, there is a collapsed courtyard three streets away. We can trade there."

Lin Ping nodded and said, "Okay, I will notify them to send the food. I will notify you when the food arrives."

Li Shengli was afraid that Lin Ping would run away, so he quickly went to the finance department to get 500 yuan and a purchase certificate and said, "Pingzi, this purchase certificate can be regarded as a talisman. It is better for us to prepare more. If someone sees it, we will have an excuse."

Looking at the 500 yuan and the purchase certificate in Li Shengli's hand, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Brother Shengli is really thoughtful, but aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

Li Shengli laughed and said, "I still trust my own judgment."

Lin Ping didn't act pretentiously. He took the money and said, "Okay, then you just wait for my news."

After seeing Lin Ping off, Li Shengli came back and looked at Lin Qingya and said with a smile: "You are really the lucky star of our institute." After that, he went back to the office, leaving Lin Qingya confused.

Siheyuan.

Yu Haitang came to the front yard and saw Yu Li washing clothes as soon as she entered. She ran over and said, "Sister."

Yu Li was surprised to see Yu Haitang and asked, "Haitang, why are you here?"

Yu Haitang looked at Auntie San who was standing by and didn't say anything. Auntie San turned around and went back to the house. Yu Haitang then whispered, "Sister, our family doesn't have enough food. Mom asked me to ask if you can borrow some food from your husband's family?"

Yu Li smiled bitterly when she heard this. The Yan family was very cruel to their own people. How could they possibly lend her family food when they were starving? She sighed, "Haitang, my husband's family is not rich either. Everyone is living like this now. Are we really unable to make ends meet?"

Yu Haitang nodded and said, "Sister, we can't buy food in Pigeon Market. We can't even get enough to eat at home. My brother cries every day because he's hungry. Mom has no other choice but to ask me to come and ask you."

When Yu Li heard that her family was struggling to make ends meet, she became anxious and stood up and said, "Haitang, wait here for a moment. I'll go in and talk to my mother-in-law."

Yu Haitang stood obediently at the door. Yu Li came into the house and looked at Auntie San and said, "Mom, my family is really struggling to make ends meet. Can you lend me five kilograms of corn flour? I will definitely pay you back next month when we distribute grain."

Auntie San said with embarrassment: "Lily, you know I can't make the decision. Why don't we wait for your father to come back and ask him? But our family is not rich."

Yu Li knew this would be the result, but she still didn't give up. She planned to wait for Yan Jiecheng to come back and beg him, hoping that he would help her family for the sake of their marriage.

Yu Haitang saw Yu Li coming out and asked, "Sister, what did your mother-in-law say?"

Yu Li shook her head and said, "My father-in-law is the boss at home. We have to wait until he comes back. You go home first. If you can lend it to me, I will send it home."

Yu Haitang came here on leave, so she didn't have anything to do, so she said, "Sister, I have nothing to do anyway, I'll wait for you in this yard."

Yu Li didn't want her sister to see her plight, so she advised: "Haitang, be obedient and go home first. I will definitely send back the food if there is any."

Just when Yu Haitang was about to agree, He Yushui pushed the cart into the courtyard, saw Yu Haitang and said in surprise: "Haitang, I was wondering why you didn't go to class today, it turns out you came to our courtyard."

Since He Yushui got a bicycle, he rarely lived in the school dormitory. He would go back to the courtyard from time to time. One reason was that he wanted to come back, and the other was that he really didn't have enough to eat at school.

Yu Haitang also knew that He Yushui often lived at home, and it was she who suggested to her mother that they move to the Siheyuan. After all, her classmate He Yushui looked good, and life in their courtyard should be okay.

But when I arrived at the yard, I found that everyone in the yard looked unwell, especially my sister, whose face was pale.

Seeing that He Yushui had something to ask, she said to Li: "Sister, this is my classmate. I'm going to her house to play and will wait for you here." After that, she took He Yushui and ran into the middle courtyard.
