Chapter 62, Trying to Live

Should I agree to Lao Liang's request, or not?

Meng Xiaoxing was so embarrassed by the arrival of Lao Liang and Zhou Jimin that he blushed and was at a loss.

Because there is really no place to sit at home, and there is no extra cup to pour water for the two guests, let alone drink tea or anything.

In fact, in this era, when people come to the family, the most they can do is drink a glass of water.

Tea leaves don't have to be thought about.

Unless it is a cadre family or a wealthy family, no one will buy tea.

In this era, for most people, the most luxurious thing is to make a cup of malt cream.

"Don't be busy, Lao Meng, let me introduce to you, this is Zhou Jimin, a little genius in our rolling mill, who invented distribution boxes, transformer modifications, large truck water tanks, etc., and has a strong ability to innovate."

Lao Liang praised violently, but Zhou Jimin couldn't stop him.

Then he introduced Meng Xiaoxing, with seven children in the family, he is a laborer, and it is clear at a glance how hard life is.

After Zhou Jimin and Meng Xiaoxing shook hands and greeted each other, Lao Liang looked at the former.

To help or not to help?

didn't wait for Zhou Jimin to speak, a little kid came out of the room, similar to a little goldfish, but very thin, estimated to be more than ten or twenty pounds, very pitiful.

With just one glance, Zhou Jimin's heart trembled.

"Wait a minute!"

After speaking, Zhou Jimin ran out.

Meng Xiaoxing was dumbfounded, and hurriedly looked at Lao Liang, "Did I offend him?" ”

His daughter Meng Zitong was also frightened, and her mouth was flattened, and she was about to cry.

Lao Liang secretly scolded Zhou Jimin for not doing things well, but he could only comfort Meng Xiaoxing's father and daughter.

The other children in the house, because they had no clothes, could only stare dryly, and there was nothing they could do in a hurry.

However, it didn't take long for Zhou Jimin to go and return.

At the same time, he also carried two large bags over.

"Give."

The sack was full of coarse grains, and the only most valuable thing was a piece of bacon of about two catties.

The other sack was the clothes, which could be seen to be worn old clothes, well, with patches.

But these clothes are very nice, and when you open them, you can still smell a faint scent of lavender.

At the moment of squatting, Zhou Jimin also handed Meng Zitong a white rabbit toffee.

The latter stared blankly, her eyes wide, her mouth swallowing, but still looking at her father.

Meng Xiaoxing was very moved and grateful, but still shook his head and refused.

Although he knew that Zhou Ji gave him coarse grains instead of fine grains in order to take care of him, he couldn't accept it.

Because he doesn't want to cause trouble for the other party.

Lao Liang was very happy, but he was very angry at Lao Meng's refusal.

Immediately, Lao Liang said thank you to Zhou Jimin, picked up the sack full of clothes and entered the house.

Meng Xiaoxing in the back was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but he had no choice but to thank Zhou Jimin again and again.

The latter's move really solved his urgent need, and it was a real send-off.

This winter was exceptionally cold, and he, as a father, left his children unclothed, endured freezing cold, and hunger.

"Daddy, Daddy, I've got clothes."

A big boy ran out of the house, about eleven or twelve years old, but he didn't look as tall as Zhou Jikang, nor as strong as Zhou Jitong.

Meng Xiaoxing touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, called the big boy to Zhou Jimin, and bowed to the latter to thank him.

Zhou Jimin stopped again and again, held the other party, and didn't let the other party really bow to him.

There were also a few little kids in the back, all of whom came out in their clothes.

Zhou Jimin, who was surrounded by a group of little children, felt a little uncomfortable.

If it weren't for him, it is estimated that Zhou Shuqing's four little ones would be similar to the children in front of her.

"Dad, it's so sweet, you eat!"

Meng Zitong licked the white rabbit, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

But she handed the candy to her father.

Lao Meng couldn't resist his daughter's heart-warming gesture and almost cried.

Zhou Jimin, who quietly retreated, whispered to Lao Liang, "Lao Meng's matter, I will say at the meeting tomorrow morning, and strive to bring Lao Meng over, by the way, do you know if the rolling mill can still arrange accommodation?" ”

In this short contact, he was able to confirm the good tutoring of Lao Meng's family.

They are all poor to this point, and they still abide by the rules, which are hundreds of times better than the group of neighbors in the courtyard.

So, he really wants to be a neighbor with such a person.

Because it's very comfortable and reassuring.

"How do I know that?"

Lao Liang spread his hands, but showed him the way.

Ask Sister Li from the Personnel Department.

That's fine!

After finalizing the matter, Zhou Jimin and Lao Liang also resigned.

Lao Meng's family was very grateful and enthusiastic, and wanted to keep the two of them for dinner together.

Of course, the two did not stay.

After returning home, Zhou Jimin told Ding Qiunan about it, and the latter's eyes suddenly turned red.

Women are kind-hearted and easy to be moved.

He didn't say anything, and when he saw that the little goldfish was still angry, he was humming and chirping when he was eating, and he suddenly felt funny.

The little kid is really naïve.

obviously wants to be soft, but he also wants to maintain his self-esteem, swaying from side to side, and he is extremely entangled.

A few days later, it was even colder.

In the ground floor space, the six puppies have grown up a lot.

Thinking of the two old hens and rabbits at home, Zhou Jimin fed the six puppies with space spring water.

He didn't dare to feed more, for fear of adverse reactions.

After training a few little guys, Zhou Jimin withdrew from the bottom space.

Looking at the gloomy sky, I felt that there might be snow today, and I couldn't help but sigh.

Since the old Meng family came back, the pictures of several unclothed children of the old Meng family have always flashed when they sleep these days.

The mood is a little heavy.

Traveling to this time and space, he doesn't have great ambitions, he just wants his wife and children to be hot.

However, when he saw these pictures, his heart was still as if he was being grabbed by his hand, and it was uncomfortable!

Now the country is in ruins, and there are such and such unfortunate families at the feet of the Son of Heaven, let alone other places?

He doesn't have what it takes to save that many people.

But he felt that he could help the people around him where he could.

Of course, it's those who deserve help, and the white-eyed wolf will forget it.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still snowing, Zhou Jimin rode his bicycle out.

I won't go to Pigeon Market today, because the grain and vegetables are not yet harvested.

Ding Qiunan got up a little late, he didn't see anyone when he arrived, and waited for a few minutes to see her pushing the cart out in a hurry.

"Jimin, it's so cold this day, or I won't have breakfast tomorrow, so you have to wait for a long time."

"It's not okay to skip breakfast, so let's live at home tonight and sleep in a room with Xiaoqing and them."

Swish!

She blushed all at once.

Then, shaking his head, he refused.

What about this ostrich mentality that wants to cover up, who in the entire courtyard doesn't know that she Ding Qiunan is Zhou Jimin's fiancée?

Her family also knew everything, and taking advantage of the snow in winter, Zhou Jimin did not send less meat over.

That is, both families and neighbors know about it.

It's just one card away.

Looking at her delicate face, Zhou Jimin's heart was also a little hot.

It's a pity that the age is not allowed, and the wedding house has not been built, so I can only temporarily suppress the restlessness in my heart.

Back in the courtyard, Ding Qiunan came to the basement, but he was struggling with what to eat for breakfast.

There are a lot of ingredients at home, and there are many to choose from.

The menu was so rich that she was starting to have difficulty choosing.

Maybe that's the trouble of happiness.

Immediately, she remembered that other people's families couldn't eat breakfast, but she was worried here, which really shouldn't be.
