Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

"Call the uncle in charge of your yard over here. I have something to say to him." Su Xingchen said after parking the car. There were too many things in the car and it was not suitable to be pulled into the yard. It would be better to park it here and let Li Qingning register in the aisle behind the gate. He would not get wet in the snow and there would be no problem for him to distribute food standing at the door.

"Young comrade, I am the manager of this courtyard. If you have any problem, just tell me directly." The old man said to Su Xingchen with a smile.

"Oh? It's you? Okay, go and call out all the people in the yard who have registered as being short of food. Just call one person from each household to line up to register for food." Su Xingchen said to the little old man. He didn't know why he always felt uncomfortable and even disgusted when he looked at this little old man.

"Comrade, I don't think this is necessary. It's snowing heavily and everyone feels cold. How about this, you unload all the food that should be distributed in our yard, and I will distribute it door to door later. This way you can go back and rest earlier. What do you think?" As he said that, the old man took out an unopened pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and handed it directly to Su Xingchen. It would have been fine if he hadn't handed over a cigarette, but isn't it a problem that you handed over a cigarette?

It was supposed to be given to you, so why did you give me a pack of cigarettes? Was it just to make things convenient for me? Obviously, this is not realistic, unless this person has some ulterior motive.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept your cigarettes, please put them away. I can't give you the food directly, so you'd better go to the yard and notify every household." Su Xingchen said to the old man with a stern face.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, little comrade? I'm helping you, why don't you know what's good for you? Just put down the things that should be given to our courtyard. I'm not asking you for too much. It's not like I won't share it with the people in the courtyard when the time comes. Why do you have to trouble yourself?" The old man said dissatisfiedly as he put away his cigarette.

Hearing his words, Su Xingchen couldn't help but sneer, "You didn't ask me for more, I think you just want to give less to the people in your courtyard." The old man didn't know that Su Xingchen had guessed his thoughts, and still looked at Su Xingchen with dissatisfaction.

"I don't think it's a big deal. I think you should go and notify the people in your yard." Su Xingchen said without bothering to look at him. He stood aside with his hands in his pockets.

At this time, two middle-aged men came out and said, "Dad, what happened? Why haven't you distributed the food yet, comrade?"

"What are you distributing? Go and inform the people in the yard to send someone to queue up to get food. The comrades from the street office don't mind the trouble and are distributing it to every household!" The old man said to his son with his hands behind his back, but his words were full of dissatisfaction with Su Xingchen.

Su Xingchen could hear it, but he didn't care at all. Are you kidding me? I might give you the food just because of your two words? Wouldn't that be disrespectful to other people in the courtyard? They still need to eat.

"Comrade, we can distribute it ourselves. You just need to put the things in our yard. There is no need to trouble you." The old man's eldest son walked out aggressively. Looking at his eldest son's burly appearance, Li Qingning quickly pushed to Su Xingchen's side and grabbed Su Xingchen's arm.

Su Xingchen patted Li Qingning's hand. He was not afraid of their action. Although Su Xingchen was not from the street office, as long as they dared to take action, they would just have to spend the New Year in jail.

"Don't you understand? I said I'm not afraid of trouble. This is my job. Go and notify the people in the hospital as soon as possible." Su Xingchen's cold words made the old man and his two sons' faces completely black.

They relied on the fact that their whole family lived in the front yard, so they thought that when the food was distributed, they would keep a portion for themselves and then distribute it to the people in the yard. Anyway, as long as those people didn't starve to death, they wouldn't know anything. But they didn't expect to run into a tough guy who didn't mind the trouble and insisted on distributing food to each household in person. They really couldn't stand it. You know, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Now they really want to kill Su Xingchen.

"You...you are a little ungrateful." The youngest son walked up and pointed at Su Xingchen and said.

"Xiao Wu! What are you doing? Hurry up and do what the comrades from the street office say!" The old man said as he walked into the house with his hands behind his back, ignoring Su Xingchen.

Su Xingchen didn't care at all. I'm the one distributing food anyway, who cares about you? It's just fine if you ignore me. It hurts my eyes to look at you. But it seems that distributing food today won't go smoothly. Seeing the three people turned around and went into the yard to inform others, Li Qingning said, "Why do I feel that they don't welcome us distributing food to them?"

"Because they want to make their own living, so that they can embezzle some of the food for themselves. Otherwise, why do you think they stuffed cigarettes into my mouth? Could it be that they are simply kind-hearted?" Su Xingchen shook his head and said to Li Qingning.

"Ah? Is that so? Will they make things difficult for us later?" Li Qingning said worriedly. She also regretted that she should have asked a few more people to join them. What if something went wrong?

"What are you afraid of? Don't worry, I'm here for you. Just distribute food according to the population." Su Xingchen said to Li Qingning with a smile.

"Okay then." Li Qingning nodded and said.

Soon, the old man and his two sons notified the people in the yard to line up. Wow, Su Xingchen saw that every family in the yard had come. But it was normal. Although there was food at home these days, who would complain about having too much food at home? Getting an extra bite of food was equivalent to saving money, wasn't it? Only Su Xingchen and Li Qingning's family would not take it. Most families would take some food to keep for food, but this was something everyone knew, and no one would say anything.

After all, everyone's life is similar. If your family eats one bite more than mine, isn't it equivalent to the two of us eating one bite less?

The people in the courtyard lined up, Li Qingning was responsible for registering their information, and Su Xingchen stood in front of the cart to distribute food, 5 jin of grain flour and two cabbages to each family. The families who received the food were all smiling, especially those families who had not had time to prepare food. Now they finally didn't have to calculate and eat less every day.
