Chapter 412 He Yuzhu's Warm Heart
There must be something wrong with Director Li’s marriage.
Now Director Li has moved out of the tube-shaped building and moved into the expert building that the district had previously built for Damao’s expert.
It is roughly equivalent to a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in later generations.
What’s better than He Yuzhu’s place is that the house has a kitchen and a bathroom.
The house is empty even if it is empty, and people like Director Li have reached a certain level, so it is impossible for anyone to gossip about them.
He Yuzhu has been there and can only say that, based on what he observed, there must be something wrong with Director Li's marriage.
Many things can be disguised, but when a couple lives together, there must be an atmosphere of living together.
But when He Yuzhu was at Director Li's house, he saw that the couple lived very separate lives.
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for He Yuzhu to go to someone else's room to see if the couple sleeps in separate rooms.
But the couple's bowls and chopsticks were stored separately.
You can imagine what the situation was like.
He Yuzhu couldn't do anything about that, but when Director Li wanted to pay the salary, He Yuzhu asked him for a few milk powder tickets using other people's reasons.
He Yuzhu stood up and thought about it, but shook his head again.
He had many ways to deal with this kind of thing, but he still had to ask Teacher Qian for his own opinion.
He Yuzhu took the milk powder ticket, pretended to be serious and walked out of the room, and said to Liu Ting: "Wife, I'm going out for a while."
"Well, go quickly and come back soon." Liu Ting did not come out, and there was no emotion in her voice.
He Yuzhu still glared at the rain. It was all her fault.
Yu Shui lowered his head under the table guiltily, but his shaking shoulders and his chuckles created a good atmosphere at home.
This is the warmth of home!
He Yuzhu lives not too far from Teacher Qian's home.
The Qian family was having dinner when He Yuzhu knocked on the door and entered.
He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Teacher Qian, I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time."
Glancing at the table, I saw a large bowl of fish soup placed in front of a young woman. The fish in the bowl was only about half the size of a palm.
Cooking such a big bowl of soup from such a small fish, if the fish had thoughts, it would probably feel that it is overwhelmed.
But the current conditions are like this. Even though Teacher Qian’s salary is higher than Yan Bu’s, he can’t get any extra supplies.
For example, the house where the Qian family lives is about the same size as He Yuzhu's house, but his family is home to five people, namely the old couple and his son's family of three.
Since guests are welcome, Teacher Qian wanted to let He Yuzhu into the house.
His son and daughter-in-law also wanted to clear the table for He Yuzhu to sit down.
He Yuzhu quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, you guys eat.
I'll leave after I finish talking."
After saying that, He Yuzhu pulled a small stool from the side and sat down first.
Teacher Qian handed him a cigarette, and He Yuzhu took it with both hands, but he took out a match and lit it for Teacher Qian.
These days, there is really no rule that prohibits people from being exposed to secondhand smoke.
He Yuzhu didn't waste any words and said directly: "Teacher Qian, you know, I am a cook.
Occasionally go to the leader's house to attend banquets.
Recently my boss gave me two milk powder coupons, which my family doesn’t need. I heard you needed them, so I sent them to you.”
Everyone in the room stood up. Teacher Qian rubbed his hands together and looked at He Yuzhu with trembling lips.
He Yuzhu didn't want to look at this old face, as he would think of Yan Bugui when he saw it.
He reached into his pocket and took out the ticket, then handed it to Teacher Qian.
Teacher Qian reached out to take it, but then retracted his hand. For a moment, he was a little at a loss.
The young man at the table whispered, "Dad!"
This call finally made Teacher Qian make up his mind. He looked up at He Yuzhu and said in a firm tone: "I'll give you the money to exchange this ticket. I, Qian, will also remember this favor...." He Yuzhu waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's not that serious.
You are short of it, I can't use it for the time being.
So I’ll lend it to your home first!
When you have it in your hands later, please return it to me.
Maybe when my wife has a child, I will come to you and ask for it. Don’t treat me as a bad guest and kick me out then.”
"No, no! You are the savior of my Qian family.
This, this in my house..." A gentleman can be deceived by his own methods! Teacher Qian was restrained by He Yuzhu's words.
Now a milk powder ticket can be exchanged for seven or eight yuan in the pigeon market, which is more expensive than the milk powder itself.
There's no way around it. This thing is a nutritional supplement. One spoonful might save a life (like if you have hypoglycemia).
That's why some people take the risk of counterfeiting this thing.
He Yuzhu turned the ticket over again, pointed to the seal on it and said: "This is from our steel mill. If you want to buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative, just say that a leader in the factory was your former student and gave it to you when he heard that you were having a grandson.
If you want this thing again in the future, please ask Yu Shui to tell me a message and I will help you think of a solution.
You definitely can't exchange money.
I can only lend it to your family first."
Nowadays, you can't just go to a store with a ticket and buy everything. Most small things are sold by ticket, not by person.
But for some scarce goods, you have to ask about the origin of the ticket.
If you are hesitant, you will definitely check it out carefully.
He Yuzhu thought that this was probably how Teacher Qian got into trouble.
As for why He Yuzhu refused to take the money, to be honest, He Yuzhu had no choice.
From now on, the group consisting of Old Man Qian and his people will be the ones to suffer the most.
If He Yuzhu dares to take the money and it is exposed in the future, it may become a big deal.
And borrowing can be justified.
The He family doesn't need it for the time being, but an acquaintance needs it urgently, so the He family borrows it temporarily. He Yuzhu is not afraid of it.
Old Man Qian is a serious person. At his age, he also understands He Yuzhu's concerns.
Upon hearing this, he asked his son to bring paper and pen to write a promissory note to He Yuzhu.
This favor must be owed to someone.
He Yuzhu didn't refuse. It was just something worth less than ten or twenty dollars!
He Yuzhu was willing to give it away, but Old Man Qian didn't dare to take it for free.
This is a situation where you have to fight a wolf with a thin stick and you have to be afraid of both ends.
He Yuzhu asked the young man, "May I ask, is your wife not getting enough nutrition, or is she not getting enough nutrition?"
"Not enough nutrition!" The young man didn't care about He Yuzhu's recklessness.
He Yuzhu crossed his arms!
After thinking for a moment, he said: "There are two ways to deal with this. One is to go to the street to apply for milk! I guess your family has also been there. It is indeed difficult in the market now.
Tianjin can’t supply as much as we do.
I can help ask, but I can't guarantee whether I can squeeze out a share.
Also, we chefs know someone at the slaughterhouse. If your family needs anything, I can take you there to exchange for some pig's trotters or something.
They don’t require tickets. They are made into soup with soybeans, so it should be OK.”
These are the two solutions He Yuzhu was thinking of at home.
Pig's trotters must be a rare commodity nowadays. Even if He Yuzhu goes, he can only ask his acquaintances to help him get one or two pairs.
But the difficulty of not having milk lies now.
If you have one or two pairs of pig's trotters, you can make soup out of them and drink it once a week.
It’s also a great tonic!
