Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's reminder and saw Wu Aiguo's serious expression, and immediately realized that Wu Aiguo must know some inside stories.

Seeing that Wu Aiguo was about to leave, Yan Bugui hurriedly grabbed Wu Aiguo's arm and asked Wu Aiguo in a low voice: "Patriotism!" What the hell is going on? Can't you tell me something? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, saw the anxious expression on the other party's face, and replied in a low voice: "Three masters! I can't tell you what the specific reason is, in a word, if you don't want your family to go hungry, hurry up and find a way to buy food. ”

Yan Bugui saw that Wu Aiguo was reluctant to tell him the reason, and he didn't pester Wu Aiguo anymore, and hurriedly thanked Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic!" Thank you for telling me the news, I know what to do. ”

After Wu Aiguo saw that Yan Bugui listened to his words, he reminded Yan Bugui in a low voice: "Three masters! Let's talk about this here, if other people ask about it, I will definitely not admit it. ”

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's reminder, how could he not understand what Wu Aiguo meant, and hurriedly assured Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic!" You can rest assured, you know this matter, I know, God knows, I will definitely not tell anyone. ”

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's promise, he didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Looking at Wu Aiguo's disappearing figure, thinking of Wu Aiguo's reminder just now that the ration of grain at the comprehensive grain station has decreased in the past two months, Yan Bugui finally came to a conclusion that for a long time in the future, their ration will become less and less.

Considering that there are six members of the Yan family, and the three of them are all half-sized, Yan Bugui immediately turned around and walked into his house, and asked the three mothers who were cooking: "Xiuhua!" Have we bought all the rations this month? ”

When the three mothers heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, they asked curiously, "Old Yan! Didn't you confess to me yesterday and let me take the food stamps and go to Wangzhuang to exchange sweet potatoes? ”

Yan Bugui heard the reminder of the three mothers, and then remembered that he asked the three mothers, that part of the food stamps to find someone to exchange for coarse grains.

Thinking of the conclusion that had just come to his heart, Yan Bugui immediately instructed the three mothers: "Xiuhua! Tomorrow you take them with you, take the money from your family, and go to the pigeon market to see if there is any grain to buy, remember to buy the kind of grain that can be stored, and buy as much as you can. ”

"Old Yan! Although our family has a large population, but with our family's ration, we can exchange some coarse grains and come back, and the whole family will save a little bit, and there is no problem at all with food, why are you okay for me to buy so much grain and come back? The three mothers heard Yan Bugui's explanation and asked him with a puzzled expression.

Yan Bugui heard the three mothers' inquiries, and asked the three mothers in a low voice: "Xiuhua! Do you remember the last time you went to the grain station to buy grain, and when you came back, you told me that this month's grain ration has been reduced by two catties? ”

"I just heard a news, according to the current situation, the future food ration will become less and less, after all, we will reserve enough food for the family before the food ration is reduced."

"Starting tomorrow, your family will take Xie Cheng and them to the pigeon market, buy some stick noodles and sweet potatoes as much as possible, and then let Xie Cheng and them quietly take them home and store them in the cellar."

"In addition, in front of other people in the courtyard, we must not say that the people in the backyard of the province have come to our house to borrow grain."

The three mothers were very big Yan Bugui's orders, and immediately nodded and replied, "Old Yan! I see, I'll take the kids to the pigeon market tomorrow. ”

"Uncle! You've been there today, and Yingying wants to kill you! Wu Aiguo had just walked into the house, and when Xiao Yingying saw Wu Aiguo coming back, she immediately ran to Wu Aiguo happily and asked Wu Aiguo in a milky voice.

When Wu Aiguo heard Xiao Yingying's words, he hugged Xiao Yingying and replied with a kind face: "Xiao Yingying!" Uncle went to work today, are you well-behaved at home? ”

When Xiao Yingying heard Wu Aiguo's words, she replied in a milky voice: "Uncle! Ying Ying is well-behaved at home, and she will help her grandmother sweep the floor. ”

Wu Aiguo heard Xiao Yingying's answer, pretended to take something out of his pocket, and a grain of milk peanut candy appeared in Wu Aiguo's hand.

Wu Aiguo peeled off the sugar coating for Xiao Yingying, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yingying is so well-behaved, uncle will reward you with a milk peanut candy!" ”

"Second brother! I want milk peanut candy too! Wu Aifang, who was doing her homework in the room, heard Wu Aiguo mention milk peanut candy, and immediately felt that her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly put down the pencil in her hand, ran out of the room quickly, and asked Wu Aiguo for candy to eat.

Xiao Yingying saw that her little aunt was looking for candy to eat, and she was afraid that the milk and peanut candy would be robbed, so she quickly opened her mouth to bite the candy in Wu Aiguo's hand, and said happily: "Uncle! This sugar is so sweet and delicious. ”

Wu Aiguo heard Xiao Yingying's words, saw his sister's eager expression, pretended to take something out of his pocket again, took out two milk peanut candy, and said to Wu Aifang: "Little sister! This milk peanut candy, you and your eldest sister have one each. ”

Wu Aifang saw the candy that Wu Aiguo handed her, happily took the candy, and ran towards the room.

Not long after, Wu Pingshan came back from work, he saw Wu Aiguo sitting in the living room, and asked Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Patriotic!" On your first day at work today, are you still used to everything? ”

Wu Aiguo heard his father's inquiry, thought of what happened today, and replied, "Dad! Everything is okay, except that the pressure is a little high. ”

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he asked puzzledly: "Patriotism!" The goods of the supply and marketing cooperatives are all allocated by the Kyoto head office, and your procurement department does not need to go out to purchase alone, so how can there be pressure? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan's inquiry, thought of the catastrophe that would happen next, and introduced with a solemn face: "Dad! This year, there has been a rare drought in various parts of China, which has led to a reduction in grain production in various places. ”

"The reduction in grain production means that the supply is insufficient, and the materials allocated by the head office to our Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperatives this month are only seven layers on weekdays, and some of the materials in short supply are even less pitiful."

"In order to ensure the supply of materials, not long ago, Director Jiang of our company directly issued a series of procurement tasks to the Procurement Section, and Section Chief Li of our Procurement Section, because he has reached the age of retirement, is no longer in charge of things, so these tasks fall on the head of me, the deputy section chief."

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, he confirmed to Wu Aiguo with a shocked face: "Patriotic! You just said that grain production is decreasing, is it true? ”
