Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to get off work again.

Wu Aiguo packed up his things, carried his army-green cloth bag, left the supply and marketing cooperatives on his bicycle, and rode in the direction of Tongluoguxiang.

"Why has the food quota been reduced this month, what should I do?" Wu Aiguo rode a bicycle past the gate of the grain station, and the complaint of a woman immediately attracted Wu Aiguo's attention.

Wu Aiguo heard the women's complaints, thought of several residents in the courtyard asking him for help, and then found a place where no one was, took out a hundred catties of stick noodles from the small world, and then rode a bicycle in the direction of Tongluoguxiang.

"Patriotic! You're back from work! You're carrying two bags in the back seat, what's in them?" Wu Aiguo pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, and Yan Bugui, the door god, saw Wu Aiguo coming back, and asked Wu Aiguo with a curious face.

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, and said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Two days ago, Uncle Zhao, didn't they say that there was a shortage of food at home, and asked me for help? This is the stick noodles I helped Uncle Zhao and them get back, there are a total of 100 catties, so I bother you to inform Uncle Zhao and them."

When Yan Bugui saw the two bags, he had already guessed that they contained grain, but what he didn't expect was that these grains were actually prepared by Wu Aiguo for Uncle Zhao and them.

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's words, he said to Wu Aiguo with a happy face, "Patriotism! You wait a while, I'll help you inform Lao Zhao and them now."

It didn't take long for Uncle Zhao and others to hear the news and come to the front yard, when everyone saw the two bags of stick noodles that Wu Aiguo put on the ground, Uncle Zhao said to Wu Aiguo with a grateful face, "Patriotic! The food you brought back saved us a whole family, and I thank you on behalf of our family!"

Wu Aiguo heard Uncle Zhao's thanks and said, "Uncle Zhao! Neighbors help each other, and that's as it should be."

"Patriotic! How are you going to divide these stick noodles? How much does it cost per catty?" Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's polite words and asked Wu Aiguo.

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, he replied without thinking about it, "Three masters! The stick noodles are divided equally according to the population of each family, and the price is according to the selling price of the grain station.

"Patriotic! This is absolutely not going to work, we ask you to help you get food, how can we still let you put it upside down?" When Brother Pei heard the price of grain mentioned by Wu Aiguo, he immediately refuted Wu Aiguo's decision.

"Yes! Xiao Pei is right, we are already very embarrassed to ask you for help, how can we still let you put money in it." Uncle Zhao also objected to Wu Aiguo's grain price.

Wu Aiguo heard everyone's words and said to everyone, "Everyone! Listen to me, I got these noodles back at this price, and if you don't agree to the price, then I'll take them home."

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's words, how could he not understand Wu Aiguo's thoughts, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Everyone, please listen to me, patriotism is a good intention to help everyone, everyone should remember the good of patriotism in the future, as for the price of this stick noodles, it will be divided according to the method of patriotism." ….

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, and said to Yan Bugui with a smile, "Three masters! I'm sorry for you!"

Jia Dongxu and an uncle returned to the courtyard together, and as soon as the two walked into the front yard, they saw Yan Bugui, who was holding a scale and weighing grain to the residents in the courtyard.

When Jia Dongxu saw this scene, he asked Yan Bugui with a curious expression, "Three masters! What are you doing here?"

Yan Bugui didn't think much about it when he heard Jia Dongxu's inquiry, and introduced with a smile: "Lao Yi! Dongxu! Uncle Zhao and his family don't have enough food to eat, please Aiguo help buy some food and come back, today Aiguo got back a hundred catties of stick noodles, and I am helping everyone distribute food."

"Three masters! This is the money our family buys stick noodles, please order a little!" Brother Pei walked out of the house with the money and said to Yan Bugui with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai heard the situation introduced by Yan Bugui and saw the scene of Yan Bugui collecting money, which made Yi Zhonghai, who had been thinking about how to retaliate, suddenly feel his eyes light up, and walked towards the middle courtyard quietly.

After Yan Bugui finished distributing the stick noodles and collecting the money, he came to Wu Aiguo's house and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile, "Patriotic! I've already divided the stick noodles for you, this is the money everyone gave you, you can order a little bit."

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, he didn't count the money that Yan Bugui handed him, he directly put the money into his pocket, and said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Three masters! What's so good about this money?"

Wu Aiguo's words made Yan Bugui feel very useful, thinking of the news that Wu Aiguo quietly revealed to him, Yan Bugui was grateful to Wu Aiguo from the bottom of his heart, and said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! If you hadn't revealed the news to me in advance and asked me to stock up on some food in advance, my family would probably be the same as Lao Zhao's family this month, and there would be not enough food to eat."

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's thanks, thinking of what was about to happen in the next three years, although the news he revealed allowed the Yan family to temporarily get rid of the crisis of food shortage, but he believed that it would not be long before the Yan family would still find him for help because of lack of food.

In the face of Yan Bugui's thanks, Wu Aiguo smiled and said to Yan Bugui, "Three masters! We are neighbors who live on opposite doors, and it is right to help each other."

"Ellie! Hurry up to the backyard and call your dad and eldest brother and sister-in-law to come over for dinner!" Chen Shuying walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of fried cabbage with oil residue and shouted to Wu Aili, who was doing her homework in the room.

Wu Aili heard Chen Shuying's shout, and hurriedly responded, and ran towards the door of the house.

When Yan Bugui saw that Wu Aiguo's house was preparing to eat, he immediately said to Wu Aiguo, "Patriotism! Then I'll go back first."

Chen Shuying saw the back of Yan Bugui leaving, and said to Wu Aiguo with some dissatisfaction: "Patriotic! In the future, you'd better do less for me, and if you don't make a penny, how can you still put food stamps in it?"

Just seeing that his mother didn't say hello to Yan Bugui, Wu Aiguo was still wondering in his heart, how could his mother not greet Yan Bugui, until he heard his mother's reprimand, he realized that his mother was angry with Yan Bugui.

Facing his mother's reprimand, Wu Aiguo smiled and said to Chen Shuying, "Mom! Who did you hear say that I put food stamps on the inside, and these stick noodles I got back are unplanned food, and there is no need for food stamps at all."

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's words, she looked at Wu Aiguo in disbelief, and opened her mouth to confirm to him: "Patriotic! Are you sure you don't need food stamps for those stick noodles?"

"Wu Aiguo! Someone has reported you for speculation! Please come with us!" Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's words and was about to answer when two people from the street office suddenly walked into his house and shouted to Wu Aiguo with a serious face.
