"Next!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, in the grain station in the DC district, a staff member picked up the seal, stamped a seal on the grain book in front of him, pushed the grain book to the counter, and shouted habitually.

Qin Huairu heard the shouts of the staff, and hurriedly put the food book in his hand on the counter, and said politely: "Comrade! I'm going to buy our family's full ration for this month. ”

When the staff learned of Qin Huairu's intention, they opened the grain book and took a serious look at it, and replied expressionlessly: "Comrade! Jia Dongxu's ration is a total of 17 catties, according to the above policy, starting from this month, Jia Dongxu's ration needs to lose two catties, a total of 24 catties remaining, do you want to buy a part? Or do you want to buy it all back? ”

The Jia family of five depends on Jia Dongxu's ration, Jia Dongxu's monthly ration of 27 catties could not meet the needs of the Jia family's five people, and now the quota has been reduced by three catties per month, which is like adding insult to injury for the Jia family.

Qin Huairu heard the situation introduced by the staff of the grain station, thought of the actual situation of the Jia family, and hurriedly pleaded with the staff of the grain station: "Comrade! We are a family of five, just relying on my man's ration, and now you have lost three catties of food every month, how should our family live? ”

When the staff of the grain station heard Qin Huairu's plea, they were completely unmoved, and replied expressionlessly: "Comrade! This is an order from above, it is not that I personally withheld your family's food in private, and it is useless for you to look for me. ”

The middle-aged woman at the back of the queue, seeing Qin Huairu's hesitant appearance, asked Qin Huairu dissatisfiedly: "Comrade! Do you want to buy food, and if you don't, please give way? ”

Qin Huairu, who was hesitating, heard the middle-aged woman's urging, hurriedly put the money on the counter, and said with a heavy heart: "Comrade! I'm going to buy the whole ration. ”

In the end, Qin Huairu was in a heavy mood, carrying 24 catties of grain, and left the Chengdong Grain Station.

Yan Bugui had just walked to the door of the courtyard after work, and looked at Qin Huairu, who was walking towards him with a grain bag in his hand.

When Yan Bugui saw Qin Huairu's listless expression, he remembered the news that Wu Aiguo had revealed to him, and hurriedly asked Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu! Are you coming back from the grain station? Has the food station reduced our ration this month? ”

Qin Huairu heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, and thought of Jia Dongxu's ration reduction of three catties, and replied with a solemn face: "Three masters! Dongxu's ration was reduced by one pound last month, and another two pounds were lost this month, three pounds of grain is our family's ten-day ration, you talk about it, what should I do? ”

After Yan Bugui got Wu Aiguo's reminder, he took out all the money from his family and poured food from Pigeon City to his family.

Through the efforts of the past ten days, Yan Bugui used ants to move and brought more than 200 catties of grain to his home.

said that there was food in his hand, and he was not panicked, Yan Bugui saw Qin Huairu's worried expression, thought of the grain stored in their cellar, and hurriedly reminded Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu! Now the drought is very serious in all parts of the country, which has caused a reduction in grain production, if your family does not want to go hungry, hurry up and take the money to buy some grain in the pigeon market! ”

After Qin Huairu said goodbye to Yan Bugui, he returned home with a grain bag, and Jia Zhang, who was in the house with the soles of his shoes, saw Qin Huairu holding a grain bag in his hand, and scolded Qin Huairu dissatisfiedly: "Qin Huairu! If you go buy grain, how can you buy it for so long? ”

Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's questioning, and thought of Jia Dongxu's quota being reduced, and replied with a sad face: "Mom! Dongxu's ration has been reduced by two catties this month, and the grain station said that the ration will be reduced again next month, what do you say should I do? ”

Jia Zhang, who was reprimanding Qin Huairu, learned that Jia Dongxu's ration had been lost by two catties, and he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly questioned Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu!" Why did the grain station reduce Dongxu's ration? ”

Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's questioning, thought of the news she learned from the grain station, and replied, "Mom! It's not just to reduce the amount of our Dongxu, but to reduce the amount of everyone. ”

"In addition, when I just came back, I met the three masters at the gate of the courtyard, and the three masters told me that this year, the drought in all parts of the country due to water shortage, resulting in a large reduction in grain production, this situation will continue for a very long time, and it is recommended that we better buy some grain and come back to save it."

When Jia Zhang heard the news that Qin Huairu told her, she didn't believe what Qin Huairu said at all, her triangular eyes widened, and she asked Qin Huairu dissatisfiedly: "Qin Huairu! Yan Bugui is an abacus who can't afford to be early, he will be so good, I suggest you buy some food and save it? ”

Jia Zhang's arrogance and unreasonableness made Qin Huairu feel very speechless, and at this moment she instinctively chose to be silent, put the grain bag into the tank, and began to prepare the family's lunch.

At more than eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Aiguo drove the car back to Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

When Director Jiang saw the small truck parked in the courtyard, he hurriedly walked out of the office and immediately asked Wu Aiguo: "Comrade Patriot!" Have you implemented the content of the morning meeting? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Director Jiang's inquiry, saw his colleagues coming out of the office one after another, and reported to Director Jiang with a smile: "Director Jiang! Go to the carriage and see for yourself, there will be a surprise! ”

When Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he hurriedly instructed an office clerk: "Xiao Liu! Hurry up and take two people and open the trunk of the car. ”

When Xiao Liu heard Director Jiang's instructions, he hurriedly pulled a colleague and opened the back box of the car, and what caught his eye was six pork fans that had been slaughtered.

"Pork! It's pork! Xiao Liu saw the six pork fans placed in the carriage and shouted excitedly.

When Director Jiang heard Xiao Liu's shout, he thought that he had misheard, so he hurriedly walked to the back of the carriage, and when he saw the six pork fans neatly placed in the carriage, he hurriedly asked Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism!" What's going on with this pork? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Director Jiang's inquiry, saw the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and replied with a smile: "Director Jiang! When I went to my comrades' farms, their farms happened to be killing pigs. ”

"I'm a thick-skinned person, and since I encountered the reason to let go, I tried my best to solve the problem, and shamelessly forcibly asked for a thousand catties of pork and five hundred catties of salted duck eggs from my comrades."

When Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, he thought that the comrades in the club would be able to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival happily again, and replied happily: "It's good to be thick-skinned!" It's nice to be thick-skinned! ”
