After the food was distributed that night, the two uncles gave all the money to Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai did not want the corn flour, which was just enough for each family, 5 jin.

Some families lit the fire in the middle of the night and cooked some pumpkin porridge for their children. The adults could bear it, but the children couldn't. Every family was very happy. With food, they had hope.

Yi Ping'an felt relieved after listening to the noise in the yard. As long as everyone was not starving to death, that was enough. He couldn't do more. He couldn't get himself involved. Now it seemed that no one was stupid.

Life goes on like this, neither good nor bad.

That evening when Yi Ping'an got off work, he actually saw Jia Zhangshi, who came to visit his father. Ever since Yi Ping'an bought a bicycle, he no longer went home with his father, and his schedule was really irregular.

It was already winter, and it was dark when he got off work, but Yi Ping'an had good eyesight. When he saw his father following Jia Zhang into the grove next to the factory, Yi Ping'an felt terrible. What was going on? How could they get together after they were already out?

Yi Ping'an put the bicycle into the space and followed quietly.

"Old Yi, I really have no other choice, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you. Xiaodang is only a few months old, Huairu doesn't have much milk, and the child is crying because of hunger. Adults can endure it, but children can't.

Lao Yi, please help me, please? Help the child, she is only a few months old, I can't watch her starve to death, wuwuwu..."

Jia Zhang covered her mouth and cried. Now Jia Zhang is no longer fat. She can't even eat, so how could she get fat?

It was the first time that Yi Ping'an heard Jia Zhang speak so gently. If Yi Ping'an didn't know he was not mistaken, he would not believe that this was Jia Zhang's voice.

Besides, Qin Huairu worked in the cafeteria. Even if there was no meat, she should have enough to eat, right? How could she not have milk? Yi Ping'an didn't understand. When Xiaodang was born, Yi Ping'an was busy, so he didn't go, and asked a lady to bring three feet of cotton cloth.

"How do you want me to help you?" Yi Zhonghai's tone was calm.

"Old Yi, can you get some meat so that the child can have milk? Or you can ask Ping'an to help get some milk powder. I'll give you money, okay? Old Yi, please do me a favor for the sake of our past relationship." Jia Zhang said as she hugged Yi Zhonghai's arm.

Shit! Yi Pingan was stunned. Oh my god, these two people are really in trouble!

Yi Zhonghai directly pushed Jia Zhang away and angrily shouted, "Zhang Cuihua! Have you forgotten what I told you? When I accepted Dongxu as my apprentice, I had already settled the matter between you and me. Later, I helped you because of Dongxu's face. He is a good boy, not because of your face. Don't push me too far."

"Lao Yi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such things. Please don't be angry with me, okay? I am also very anxious and I can't do anything about it. I will never say it again, okay? Can you help me, no, help Dongxu, okay?"

Jia Zhang's tone was a little flustered. It had been so long that she had forgotten what she had said. Maybe it was because Lao Yi was much calmer now and was very nice to Dongxu, which made her feel that Lao Yi still had her in his heart.

If Yi Zhonghai knew what she was thinking, he would probably strangle her to death. If someone has you in his heart, it's a consensual relationship. It's a fleeting romance that you need and I want, okay?

"Hmph! You let Dongxu come to find me. Remember, don't come to me again. It's over between us. There's nothing left. Remember?" Yi Zhonghai's tone was a little fierce, and Jia Zhang was so scared that she shivered.

Jia Zhang nodded hurriedly: "I remember, I will definitely remember, Lao Yi, don't worry, this is the last time, I will let Dongxu come to see you tomorrow."

After saying this, Jia Zhang ran away, leaving Yi Zhonghai alone. He sighed, smoked a cigarette and left too.

Yi Ping'an was completely stunned. What was going on? Did he know about his father's affair without anyone noticing? From what they said, it seemed like something happened when he was young? Did Jia Dongxu know? Did his mother Yang Cuiyun know?

Could it be that Xiaodang really had nothing to eat? Otherwise, Jia Zhangshi would not have asked for milk powder. He had plenty of it. There were cows in the space, so he could just process it.

Yi Ping'an was really thankful that he had gotten this family out in the first place. Otherwise, it would have been strange if they hadn't come sticking around in the past few years. They were able to find him even from such a far distance away, and it would have been even harder to get rid of them if they lived in the same courtyard.

I remember some fan fiction said that Jia Zhang was also a beauty when she was young. Haha, Yi Ping'an was a little speechless, but he could only keep it to himself and pretend he didn't know.

I just don’t know how his father will help Jia Dongxu. It seems that Jia Dongxu really can’t die. No matter what, people have to keep an eye on him. If he dies, there will be no one to guard the Jia family’s house.

Yi Ping'an shook his head and rode home.

When he got home, Yi Ping'an went back to the courtyard to sleep after dinner. His father didn't mention the milk powder, so Yi Ping'an didn't care.

The next day at work, Yi Ping'an went directly to the machinery factory, took a walk around the workshop, and checked on Jia Dongxu. He found that he was in good condition, at least he wouldn't fall down if the wind blew. It should have something to do with Qin Huairu being in the cafeteria, so he could have a full meal at noon.

Yi Ping'an chatted with his master Wang Youfu for a few words and inquired about Jia Dongxu's situation indirectly. He found that Wang Youfu was still very concerned about this disciple, so he was temporarily relieved.

Several days later, it was the weekend and Jia Dongxu came to the courtyard. Yi Ping'an said hello and went back to the cross-courtyard. The two talked for a while and then Jia Dongxu left.

During lunch, Yi Zhonghai talked about milk powder and asked Yi Ping'an if he could get some. Xiaodang really had nothing to eat. There was no oil or water, and the food in the factory canteen was all boiled in water. It was good enough if he could just eat enough water.

When it was dark in the evening, Yi Ping'an gave Yi Zhonghai a paper bag of milk powder, which weighed about two kilograms. Then he accompanied Yi Zhonghai to deliver it to Jia Dongxu, and also brought a pumpkin. It seems that Yi Zhonghai is really good to Jia Dongxu.

When they arrived at the Jia family, the five members of the family had not slept yet. Jia Zhang acted as if nothing had happened and spoke and acted as usual.

Yi Ping'an was amazed by what he saw, what a talented person!

The Jia family had a hard time, and only the children had a hard time. The adults, except Jia Zhang, had a ration. Qin Huairu could still eat enough at the factory, but Jia Zhang's appetite was not small, comparable to Jia Dongxu's.

Jia Dongxu exchanged most of the food coupons for fine grains, such as rice and millet, to make rice porridge for Xiaodang. They did not store any food last year, so there was not enough food at home.

Qin Huairu became more confident after starting work, and had more and more the aura of a city person, although she had lost a lot of weight. But her eyes were still unbearable, like a wolf staring at meat. Yi Ping'an glanced at Xiaodang, the child was really thin, skin and bones like a big-headed doll. Alas, he looked quite pitiful.

Banggeng is quite sensible. He pours water and speaks politely like a little adult. It seems that there is a big difference between having a father and not having a father.

Jia Dongxu's face was full of gratitude, his eyes were red, "Master, thank you so much, I don't know what to say, Master, thank you!"

"Dongxu, life is getting harder and harder now. If you have any problems, just come to our house and tell us. I will definitely help if I can. Your children are still young, so you also need to take care of your health. Your family is relying on you." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Master, I understand. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life and will never forget it." Jia Dongxu said with a sob.

"Grandpa Yi, I will remember your kindness. When I grow up, I will buy you delicious food." Bang Geng also said.

"Okay, Grandpa Yi will wait for you to grow up." Yi Zhonghai rubbed Banggeng's head and said.

"Brother Dongxu, come to me after you finish the milk powder. You can't let the child starve. Don't exchange for fine grains in the future. You have to be full too." When they came out of the Jia family, Yi Ping'an whispered to Jia Dongxu.

Yi Ping'an: What if something happens if you don’t eat enough?

"Ping'an, thank you for this time. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation." Jia Dongxu said gratefully.

On the way back, neither the father nor the son spoke. Years of disaster were not easy for everyone. If Yi Ping'an hadn't died, he might not have lived as well as they did. So he would not judge others from his own standpoint.
