......

At the same time, the Xue family.

At the dinner table, the family was drinking cornmeal gruel tightly, and after drinking tons and tons, Mrs. Xue covered her half-full stomach and shouted, "Xiao Ling, I'll have another bowl." ”

Xue Lingchou's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, and said, "Mom, you've drunk two bowls here, and I haven't finished half of the bowl!" ”

It's not that she's stingy, but there is really no surplus food at home, Mrs. Xue has been sick recently and needs to replenish her body, so she has a share of two bowls, and under normal circumstances, one bowl per person.

Mrs. Xue reluctantly said: "I haven't eaten enough, and I don't have the strength to speak even if I eat thin." ”

Mrs. Xue had a plan in her mind, and whispered: "Hey, Xiaoling, Liang Jinxiu next door works in the canteen, and she often brings back leftovers and other things, and her parents often can't finish eating, let's find a way to go to her to rub some, otherwise I'm really hungry." ”

"Well, Mom, bear with me first, and I'll figure out a way in two days." Xue Ling instructed.

Mrs. Xue responded, her face impatient.

"Come, Mom, I still have half a bowl of polenta left, I can't eat it, give it to you, I can go to the cafeteria to eat at noon tomorrow."

Xue Ling thought for a moment and gave up his share.

After Mrs. Xue took it, she didn't even say thank you, she raised her head and drank, as if she was afraid of being asked to go back.

"Hey, my family is still poor. We'll have to figure it out again. Xue Ling sighed sadly.

Mrs. Xue said: "Hey, I heard that Zhang Qian in our courtyard turned positive yesterday, and she, the broadcaster, is fat and poor, and she is not short of money and food at all, let's borrow some from her!" ”

Xue Ling nodded, looking out the window: "Don't worry, tomorrow will definitely let you eat white flour steamed buns!" ”

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Qian is in her backyard, meticulously doing radio gymnastics.

Stretching, body rotation, kicking......

After doing gymnastics and having breakfast, she went to the textile factory.

Zhang Qian ordered on time at the Ministry of Culture, and then sat in the office and made a cup of coarse tea.

The cultural department of the factory is not small, the radio station, the theater troupe, the library and later the cinema are among them, as a broadcaster, in addition to daily broadcasting and rural tasks, from time to time will also help the leader write speeches, compared to the workers in three shifts, it can be said that it is very happy.

What's more, every time I help a leader write a manuscript, the number of courtesies and rewards that should be there are indispensable.

In the morning, the work of the Ministry of Culture was simple and easy, and most of it was radio programs and news broadcasts.

Soon it was noon, the workers rushed to the canteen with a shout, Zhang Qian came early, and only then did she stand firm, and there was a long queue behind the good guys.

Dry rice is not positive, there is a problem with the mind!

What's more, there is no meat in the first dish this year, and there is no hunger at all, sweet potatoes, pasta and other carbohydrates come and go quickly, often not to eat, and the workers with high physical exertion are hungry with their chests and backs.

The team in front of her moved a position, and Zhang Qian was about to raise her heels when she saw a flexible figure inserted in front of her.

"Hey, who's that, line up at the back, is there a first come and a first arrival?"

Before Zhang Qian could speak, the young weavers in the queue behind her were not happy.

"Zhang Qian is lining up for me!"

Xue Ling turned his head and said unhurriedly. She also had the smell of soap flowers on her body.

Zhang Qian immediately understood her intentions, put her hand on her shoulder, and said without looking back:

"That's right! This is my sister, what's the matter? ”

"Who is this?"

The young man in the back row looked unhappy, but he was helpless.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Xue Ling quietly sped up a step, and quickly said to Liang Jinxiu, who was cooking at the window: "Five steamed buns, one sweet potato, and one cabbage." ”

"Well, where's your meal ticket?"

"Zhang Qian helped me invite!"

After speaking, Xue Ling finished eating and fled the scene in a hurry.

Liang Jinxiu looked at Zhang Qian with a surprised expression: "Okay, Zhang Qian, why did you suddenly become generous!" ”

"Huh? Liang Jinxiu, aren't you a helper in the back kitchen, why did you come to the window to cook? Zhang Qian asked casually.

Liang Jinxiu's face flashed with embarrassment, and he prevaricated: "Isn't this the window busy, they are all queuing, I'll come over to help with the meal!" What are you going to eat here, the people behind you are waiting. ”

"Yes, you should bring me two steamed buns and a cabbage."

"Okay!"

Zhang Qian finished dinner and found a vacant seat to eat lunch.

Needless to say, this meal is definitely not made by Liang Jinxiu, cabbage is cabbage, the clear soup is watery, and there is no level at all, and in the long run, the mouth will definitely fade out of the bird.

"It seems that we have to find a way to get some meat and eggs or something, and I can't eat enough without oil and water."

On the other side, the cafeteria corridor.

"Uncle Jiang, can you lend me a few catties of stick noodles, our family really can't get by." Xue Ling faced Jiang Ming with a soft grind and hard bubble.

Jiang Ming sternly refused: "No! We don't have enough stick noodles to eat, so where do we lend you the noodles?"

"When am I a head, let alone next month, I won't even be able to survive on the twenty-fifth of this month." Xue Ling looked aggrieved.

Now is a special period, the whole country is not full, and it is common for Yin to eat grain and advance wages.

However, the earliest is the 25th to advance the next month's salary, provided that the accountant is in a good mood and agrees to give you a seal for approval.

Seeing that Jiang Ming was not eating oil and salt, Xue Ling saw that the heat was about the same, and the crying scene came up.

"Is it easy for me to be a widow? With a large family, if I can't open the pot, will I be so angry? ”

She cried, "I'm in the workshop today, and Guo asked me to go to the warehouse at noon, definitely to take advantage of me." ”

Jiang Ming said angrily: "What did you say? The bold little guy with Guo's big head dares to hit your idea? See if I don't clean her up! ”

"Don't, this matter is getting started, do I still want to be ashamed?"

Jiang Ming hurriedly said: "Don't cry first, don't worry, I don't have this stick noodles here, at most, I'll buy a few white flour steamed buns for you in the canteen!" But Guo Tou dares to bully you, I have my own way to clean him up without making a move! ”

Just do it, Jiang Ming's actions were in a hurry, and he soon ran to the workshop, the aunts of the factory women's federation were eating, and when they heard Jiang Ming say this, everyone was immediately indignant.

"This Guo head is really cowardly!"

"Keep an eye on him!"

"Yes, yes, give him a lesson of a lifetime!"

After that, a group of women slaughtered the storeroom, and sure enough, they pushed the door open, and sure enough, they saw a lewd figure inside.

"Give it to me! Catch her for me! ”

Everyone rushed up, their movements were skillful and quick, and the obscene figure was angry: "Which department are you from, don't mess around!" ”

However, this shout was drowned in the hands of the domineering women's coalition in an instant.
