Chapter 443: Suffering Reveals a Person’s True Character
He Yuzhu watched Ma Hua carry the box onto the cart alone.
He didn't say anything nonsense in the yard. This box was for Ma Hua's family.
It’s not that He Yuzhu is so generous that he doesn’t care about these things, but his tube-shaped building is indeed a bit small.
Every time he transported something like this, he would take out a box or a cabinet, and there was really no room for it.
He Yuzhu was chatting with Ma Hua's father on the side, leaving Ma Hua busy on his own.
When Ma Hua came to He Yuzhu with a sack in his hand, He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Just give me one, the big one, and you can take the small one home for your brothers and sisters to taste."
"That won't do. Such good stuff, it would be a waste if they eat it." The speaker was Ma Hua's father.
He Yuzhu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, it's okay, Ma Hua is my apprentice, I took care of him when he was young, and when he becomes successful in the future, I will not refuse anything he can give me as a gift.
I didn't give it to him before because I was worried that the people in your yard are similar to those in mine, all suffering from jealousy.
This thing can be eaten raw.
But it’s best to cook it a little when you want to eat it.
Take it back and give it to the kids to satisfy their cravings.
These past two years have not been easy for every family.”
"Hey, Hua! Kowtow to your master quickly. If you don't respect your master in the future, I will beat you to death!" The old man saw that He Yuzhu was sincere in giving, but he didn't know how to refuse. He could only leave this favor to Ma Hua to repay.
Ma Hua was about to kneel down obediently, but He Yuzhu held him up.
This thing, on the side of the road, with this action, I don't know how many eyes it will attract?
Seeing that the father and son did not take action, He Yuzhu personally took out a smaller one from the bag and put it on the Ma family's cart.
Ma Hua hurriedly stepped forward to cover up the ham. If others saw it, it would really cause trouble.
He Yuzhu had no idea about this. Why was he so generous towards MCA?
Maybe he felt the joy of simply helping others from MCA.
There are only two things related to people's livelihood in the whole city of Sijiu this year. One is fire prevention. He Yuzhu has almost forgotten about this thing. When a few students were visiting a match factory, an accident happened. After that, fire prevention became a hot topic among the young and old in Sijiu City.
Not to mention the various inspections, even the old night watchmen appeared in the alleys.
Then, due to the shortage of food, various food substitutes were produced.
Products like corn root powder, wheat root powder, corn stalk powder, etc. have officially entered people's lives.
These things existed in the pigeon market before, and they were always made by unscrupulous merchants in order to increase the weight.
It has just been made public, from which we can see that this is probably the most difficult time.
For example, the coarse grain steamed bread produced by steel mills has also begun to include these things.
He Yuzhu's arrogance at the beginning of the year and his life of luxury have also disappeared.
The difficulty now is that even the tube-shaped buildings cannot be avoided.
It’s not that He Yuzhu couldn’t get the food, but even if he did, he wouldn’t dare to make stir-fried lamb with green onions at home at mealtime like he used to.
The millet and ham that I had prepared because I was greedy really came into being.
Wang Furong uses a hand-cranked millstone to remove the shells, then goes home to cook some millet porridge and steam a few slices of ham, with oil and water splashing into the millet porridge.
Cut some pickles on the table,
He ate the rain water so much that he was quite satisfied and kept burping.
It's already nine o'clock in the evening. There's nothing we can do. Even in the tube building, everyone's eyes are red.
Especially when the He family was having dinner, there were always a few aunties who would come to see what the He family was eating under the pretext of borrowing something. So the staple food of the He family these days was also quite simple, with a little coarse grain noodles with a little fine noodles and a little pickled vegetables, which was slightly better than other families, but not too much.
This is just the way he is. If the He family closes the door tightly every time they eat and doesn't let others see, who knows what kind of gossip will spread.
But after He Yuzhu openly let everyone watch it a few times, the aunties who came to observe went to other houses.
After Yu Shui was full, he felt a little lazy and pushed all the empty bowls towards He Yuzhu.
He complained, "Brother, when will this day end?
I used to think these aunties here were good people. They were always polite when we met them.
How did it become like this now? "
Liu Ting's complexion has been a little worse than in the past few days, but fortunately, she has not lost any flesh on her face.
There was a boiled egg in front of Liu Ting, but she only ate half of it and pushed the other half to Yu Shui.
Yu Shui pushed the egg in front of He Yuzhu again, and He Yuzhu smiled and said, "What? Your sister-in-law gave it to you, why don't you eat it?"
Yu Shui pouted and said, "I don't work at school, so my energy consumption is not as great as yours at work."
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'm in the factory, sitting in the office these days, and I haven't consumed any energy.
To be honest, the person who works the hardest in our family these days is your sister-in-law, who has to walk so much every day.
Wife, you should eat it! "
Half an egg turned around and returned to Liu Ting.
Liu Ting forced a smile and said, "I really can't eat anymore. Let's just use the rain water to solve the problem."
Our family is still good. Brother Zhuzi, you are capable and can find a way to get things. Although it is a little troublesome, it is like this everywhere now.
For example, the street police have recently gone to inspect Sister Fang Juan’s home.
Some neighbors said that the people from their supply and marketing cooperative moved all the good stuff back to their homes.
The aunties here just chat a little, which is good enough. "
“And the alley is not good either, and I also dislike the taste of boiled eggs.
Even eggshells are ground into powder." Yu Shui also added.
The He family's living standard has certainly declined, but the three members of the family encourage each other, cherish what they have now, and feel happy.
Liu Ting took a small sip of the millet porridge, but poured the remaining half bowl into He Yuzhu's bowl.
The meaning was very clear, she couldn't eat anymore and asked He Yuzhu to solve the problem.
Liu Ting smiled bitterly and said: "Before I got married, I sent some national food coupons to Granny Liu.
Granny Liu wrote to me a while ago and said that those food coupons really saved the lives of her family of six.
"Did they ask you for help?" He Yuzhu asked.
They are husband and wife, so they speak directly. He Yuzhu has one more thing. If Granny Liu asks Liu Ting for it, He Yuzhu will help her a little.
But only a little bit.
Liu Ting shook her head and said, "Grandma Liu wrote to me asking me not to write to her anymore.
As for the last letter, if she hadn't been alert and destroyed the envelope, my father's relatives might have found me based on the address on the envelope.
She told me not to worry about her, as she had returned to her hometown with her little ones.
Although there is a shortage of food over there, the fish, shrimp, crabs, clams, and kelp on the beach can also be used as food! Plus the food coupons his son sends him every month, it is not as difficult as in the city..."
