Chapter 43 Poor Families

……

After a day of work, when the bell rang in the textile factory, Zhou Jianguo packed up his things and was about to go home, but was stopped by Zhang Qian.

"Jianguo, let's go, let's go to the restaurant today."

"Okay." Zhou Jianguo was also very happy when he heard it. I was thinking of going home from work to cook, but I didn't expect to be able to eat in the restaurant today.

So, the two went to a state-run restaurant near the textile factory.

I ordered braised pork ribs, sauerkraut fish, and two vegetarian dishes, almost, this year, the restaurant pays attention to a real material, large amount, affordable, and full!

Before the food was served, Zhang Qian went to the toilet by the way, but who knew that she saw an old acquaintance.

"Hey, Uncle Liang, why are you here!"

Liang Songshan was chopping vegetables in the back kitchen, and when he heard the sound, he looked outside, and the person outside was Zhang Qian.

Seeing the acquaintances in the courtyard, he was a little cramped and uneasy, his lips trembled slightly, his face was depressed, his originally upright body became a little rickety, his temples were covered with white hair, his eyes were a little cloudy, he was wearing a coarse cloth coat that did not fit, and he looked poor.

He put down the work in his hand and smiled reluctantly: "It's Xiaoqian, let's come to eat, I recently worked as a cook in this restaurant!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Qian nodded slightly, didn't say much, and returned to the lobby to sit down.

Not long after, Liang Songshan cautiously took the dishes and came to Zhang Qian.

He was a little surprised that the two of them went to the restaurant for a meal, and there were pork, pork ribs, and fish......

It's too extravagant!

Compared with his current self, his heart is quite bitter and has mixed tastes.

....

Liang family.

"Dad, where have you been, why did you come back so late today?"

As soon as Liang Songshan returned home, Liang Jinxiu was a little dissatisfied. She cooked a meal at home and ended up eating it by herself.

"The restaurant is busy today, so I was delayed for a while." Liang Songshan said tiredly.

"I also brought you food, which was left over from the guests in the restaurant."

He took out the lunch box, and as soon as he opened it, the fragrance wafted out.

Although it was leftovers, Liang Jinxiu was still quite happy.

"Alright, Dad, put it in the cupboard first, and eat it tomorrow."

After speaking, Liang Jinxiu went to wash his feet, and put the leftovers in the cupboard by the way.

"I met Zhang Qian today, in a restaurant." Liang Songshan soaked his feet in hot water and said slowly.

"Met Zhang Qian? She's going to the restaurant! "Leung Kam-so is like a curious baby.

Liang Songshan nodded and said slowly: "Jinxiu, you remember, people really can't do anything wrong, and if they do something wrong, they can't turn over for a lifetime!" ”

Hearing these embarrassing words, looking at his father's old face and white beard, Liang Jinxiu suddenly left tears.

……

Next.

Zhang Qian was basking in the sun in the courtyard, and the people from the police station found her, "May I ask if you are Zhang Qian, I have something to find you and understand the situation." ”

"I'm Zhang Qian, what's the matter?"

This police station came to her, and it must be no good thing. Zhang Qian also wondered, she didn't do anything illegal and undisciplined!

"We have received a report from the masses that the door of your house has been locked all day, and now we suspect that you are an enemy, and now we will ask you to cooperate with the investigation."

"Enemy? Make a mistake! ”

"We're also doing routine investigations."

Said the person from the police station.

"Okay, I'll cooperate. However, if I'm not an enemy, the police station will have to prove it to me. ”

In this day and age, the most important thing is fame. If because of someone's malicious report, she has an extra hat on her head that is suspected of being an enemy, she won't do it.

"That's fine." The person from the police station said.

The movement in the courtyard can't hide from the surrounding neighbors, and the people who eat melons gather in the compound, and there is a lively scene now.

"Zhang Qian is an enemy? How is this possible? ”

"Definitely not, there are definitely people who are red-eyed and deliberately framed."

"She's the director of the canteen, how can she be an enemy! Nonsense! ”

"Tut-tut, no wonder the house is locked all day long, it turns out to be an enemy!"

"I just said that Zhang Qian has some unsavory secrets, and I really got it right."

"Shut up." The man glared at the men fiercely.

"Go in and see, my secrets are in there."

Zhang Qian took out the key, opened the lock, and the door opened.

People from the police station rushed in.

After entering the house, I saw that the inside was clean and tidy, and the things were placed in an orderly manner.

In addition to the bed, bedding, wardrobe, and some kitchen utensils, Zhang Qian actually has a small bookcase and a desk at home.

This is the only one of its kind in the courtyard.

The top of the bookcase is full of books.

The people from the police station searched carefully inside, but found nothing.

"A few comrades, Zhang Qian, she ...... You okay? Liang Jinxiu asked cautiously.

"Comrade Zhang Qian, we have investigated, you are not an enemy." The man said.

Hearing this, Old Xue was too anxious, and hurriedly said, "Why isn't she?" Her family has a lot of fish and meat every day, eats and drinks well, and it is very problematic, several comrades, I hope you will re-investigate. ”

The people at the police station ignored it, and after understanding the situation, they left.

In the backyard, everyone saw that there was no excitement to watch, and they all dispersed quickly.

When Mrs. Xue returned home, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Zhang Qian's family was full of fish and meat every day, not to be an enemy, where did she get the money, although the people from the police station did not find out, it does not mean that Zhang Qian is really fine.

In the evening, Xue Ling made dinner, and Mrs. Xue glanced at it.

Two multigrain steamed buns, two nests, and a pot of boiled cabbage, with a few oil flowers floating on them.

That's all the Xue family's dinner today.

Of course, the egg was boiled, but it was for Mrs. Xue as a supper, dinner was eaten early in this era, dinner was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and she went to bed at seven o'clock, Mrs. Xue had a nervous breakdown and often had insomnia in the middle of the night, so she had to eat some supper to fall asleep.

Mrs. Xue was sulking for a day, and when she saw that there were only steamed buns and nests at night, her face suddenly became gloomy, and the density of dark clouds and dissatisfaction were overflowing.

Mrs. Xue stabbed and said: "How are you in charge, or a worker, our family can only eat these steamed buns now?" ”

"Mom, that's all there is to the house, I ...... I really don't have any money! Xue Ling's face was embarrassed.

Xue Ling's salary has been spent every month, since Wei Tiange's death, the life of the Xue family has plummeted, counting the funeral expenses for Wei Tiange, the little money lost in the factory is not enough at all, and it is posted a lot.

The Xue family has no money, and life is difficult, which can be clearly seen from the food eaten at home.

But Mrs. Xue didn't bother to listen, since she married into the old Xue family thirty years ago, she had no job, she rested at home all day, and she didn't participate in buying and selling, she didn't care about the prices outside, and Xue Ling was in charge of the family's money and food.

"No money? You won't borrow money if you don't have it! ”

In Mrs. Xue's opinion, the Xue family is now the most difficult in the courtyard, and letting the neighbors help the Xue family is the Xue family's accumulation of virtue for the neighbors.

As for who Xue Ling borrowed money from, Mrs. Xue didn't care at all.

Even if the creditor comes to the door in the future, it is also a daughter's business, and it has nothing to do with her.

Xue Ling hesitated, and finally went out and walked towards Liang Jinxiu's house opposite.
