Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Humph! You are taking advantage of the situation!"

Jia Zhang shouted with her hands on her hips.

"What do you mean by taking advantage of someone's misfortune? We didn't ask you to come here."

"You'd spend more than that on a bowl of noodles at a state-owned restaurant."

"If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, get out of here and don't get in the way."

Xu Damao directly pushed Jia Zhang aside.

"Everyone is so stingy, it's like an earthquake now."

"If it were a normal day I wouldn't come, what's the big deal."

Jia Zhang seemed very unhappy and left cursing.

"Really, you are so shameless."

Xu Damao curled his lips.

"This old woman is really taking advantage of every opportunity!"

Liang Ladi couldn't help but complain.

"I don't know how long this earthquake will affect us. I guess we won't be able to go to work in the factory."

Nan Yi looked at the time and it was almost time to go to work.

"Let's go there later and see what's going on outside."

Although Yi Bufan knew about the earthquake, he also wanted to see how big the impact was.

In fact, rescue work outside had already begun a long time ago, not only in the entire city of Sijiu, but also around the earthquake center.

The daily work of the entire city has been paralyzed, and every unit is carrying out rescue operations.

People are gradually finding out where the earthquake occurred and how big the impact was.

Naturally, everyone calmed down and waited for this dangerous time to pass.

In the front and back yards, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong have also started planning to build new houses.

After five days, people who had already adapted to the situation were now feeling a little edgy.

I had complaints when cooking and eating.

Although we also received some relief food and the like from outside, it was rather monotonous and it seemed that every meal was made with the same things.

However, when they smelled the fragrance wafting from Yi Bufan's yard, everyone became nervous.

It actually tastes like meat.

"Da Mao, Er Mao, what are you eating?"

Jia Zhang had wanted to ask this for a long time.

They have been eating noodles for five days in a row, and even the leaves have been cabbage.

However, Da Mao and Er Mao have meat for almost every meal.

"Braised pork!"

"The last meal was luncheon meat."

“They’re all canned!”

"No, I think today's food is not canned, it's freshly made."

"Really? It seems true."

"I feel like this is more sumptuous than what we usually eat. We even had mutton yesterday."

"Yes!"

Da Mao and Er Mao were eating and chatting at the same time, making the neighbors around them drool with envy.

These people haven't eaten meat for many days in a row. Even before the increase in the number of cases, they rarely ate meat.

"Um, can you give me half of your meal?"

"My terrier is growing..."

Jia Zhang habitually used stick stems as an excuse.

"is it?"

Da Mao and Er Mao both looked at Bang Geng next to Jia Zhang at the same time.

Bang Geng is also a little embarrassed now.

"I feel like Bang Geng is growing pretty well now."

"That's right. This one is considered quite tall in our yard."

Not only Da Mao and Er Mao, but also the other neighbors who heard it looked at Bang Geng.

Bang Geng pretended not to hear and looked somewhere else.

"Well, I'm old and not in good health, so this should be okay."

Jia Zhang also realized that Bang Geng was now tall and strong.

"What does your poor health have to do with us?"

"If you want to eat, just buy it yourself."

Damao continued to eat with his head down.

"That's right. Why don't you just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some canned food?"

Ermao also said.

"You guys are really..."

When Jia Zhang was halfway through her speech, Bang Geng also spoke.

"Everyone has nothing to eat, so how come Yi Bufan and the old man still have meat to eat? I just heard they were eating mutton."

"Is there any canned mutton left?"

Thanks to Bang Geng’s reminder, many neighbors turned around to look.

"Yes, where did you get this meat, Master? As the master in charge of this courtyard, you wouldn't have eaten all the meat given to us by yourself, would you?"

Jia Zhang's words aroused the echoes of some brainless neighbors.

“That’s hard to say.”

"Yes, after the earthquake, some supplies were distributed to us."

"There's an earthquake, so there probably won't be any meat for sale in the market."

No matter where you are, there will always be some people who can't stand others being richer than themselves.

"Okay, stop guessing."

"An old man bought a few boxes of canned food and told us to make some preparations in advance because there might be an earthquake."

"Besides, the uncle even dug a cellar in Yi Bufan's yard. Everything was purchased in advance. There is nothing to doubt about this."

"I can only say that you didn't believe it at the time."

Da Mao looked at these people with a sneer, each of them was looking for trouble.

Before it happened, no one believed it, and after it happened, everyone felt a little unconvinced.

“Who knew there would be an earthquake?”

"I thought he was lying."

Jia Zhang curled her lips.

“That is, can earthquakes be predicted in advance?”

"As the head of this courtyard, you should share some food with us all."

"Yi Bufan is also the head of the security department, so he should also give us a share."

"Those cans should be taken out and shared among everyone."

"That is, when disaster strikes, we should know how to share and have a selfless spirit."

"..."

Soon, everyone was unanimous and felt that Yi Bufan and Yi Zhonghai were being stingy.

"It seems like you are in high spirits. You even have the energy to criticize us now."

Yi Bufan walked out with a smile, followed by Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao, and Nan Yi.

There was no way. These people might have deliberately wanted Yi Bufan and the others in the small courtyard to hear them, so they spoke in quite loud voices.

"Yi Bufan, everyone is right."

"You are the head of the security department, a senior official and a senior official in charge. In the face of disaster, you should be selfless."

"If you have food or drinks, share them!"

When Sha Zhu saw a few people coming out, he also stood up and said that this time there were a lot of neighbors supporting them.

"share?"

"I heard that you guys have to pay for your meals every day."

"Our canned food and meat are all bought with money. If anyone wants to eat, you can pay for it. If you pay, we will give it to you."

"Don't worry, it's the same price as your stuff. We'll charge you the same price as the supply and marketing cooperative. We won't charge you a penny more."

"Who wants to eat? Come and register."

Yi Bufan glanced around.

In the end, no one moved.

"how?"

"I stopped moving when I heard about the money!"

"You all want to eat for free?"

“It’s not a question of sharing or not, it’s a question of whether you are willing to give or not.”

Xu Damao also said this.
