"Is Aunt Shuying at home?" Just as Chen Shuying was about to cook dinner, a middle-aged woman's shout suddenly came from outside the door.

When Chen Shuying heard the shouting from outside the door, her face immediately showed a puzzled expression, she walked quickly to the gate, and asked curiously to the visitor: "Sister Zhou, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Sister Zhou is the daughter-in-law of Zheng Lao Er in the Intermediate Court, Zheng Lao Er is a nest neck child, who lives by helping people move or giving dowries on behalf of others on weekdays, because of the long time engaged in heavy physical work, Zheng Lao Er became a hunchback a long time ago.

When Zhou Damei heard Chen Shuying's inquiry, thinking of the purpose of her trip, her face showed a tangled expression, and thinking of the children at home who were waiting to be fed, Zhou Damei could only put down her face and asked Chen Shuying in a twisted tone: "Aunt Shuying!" ,I, I. I'd like to borrow some food from you, no. I don't know if your family has any extra food? ”

When Chen Shuying heard Sister Zhou's words, she saw Sister Zhou's embarrassed expression, and immediately greeted Sister Zhou: "Sister Zhou! Something, come into the house and say. ”

When Sister Zhou heard Chen Shuying's invitation, she glanced at Zhang Xuemei and Liang Jing who were sitting in the hall, and said to Chen Shuying with some embarrassment: "Aunt Shuying! My man accidentally twisted his waist when he was helping someone carry goods not long ago, and he has been lying at home for two months. ”

"Because there is no source of income, and the price of food outside is getting more and more expensive, our family has been out of food for two days, my second child and I can still carry hunger, but the children at home can't carry hunger, so we thought, ask patriotic help to see if you can help us buy some cheap food?"

Chen Shuying learned the news that Zheng Lao Er was injured and bedridden, and hurriedly asked Zhou Damei: "Zhou Damei! Is your second Zheng's injury serious? Something so big, why don't you say hello to us? After all, our family Xiaojing is a surgeon at the People's Hospital. ”

When Sister Zhou heard Chen Shuying's inquiry, she thought of her man's personality, and introduced to Chen Shuying helplessly: "Aunt Shuying! What is the character of the second child in our family, you don't know, if it weren't for a few children, he would never agree to let me come to Aiguo for help. ”

"Patriotic! Have you finished your shower? "Who is Zheng Er, Chen Shuying also knows a little more, in the face of the situation introduced by Zhou Damei, thinking of the difficulties of the Zheng family, Chen Shuying immediately shouted in the direction of the bathroom.

Wu Aiguo, who had just finished taking a bath, heard his mother's shout outside the bathroom, and immediately replied, "Mom! I'm washed and getting dressed. ”

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's answer, she immediately walked into the kitchen, took about twenty catties of stick noodles from the grain tank, and then walked out of the kitchen and said to Zhou Damei with a smile: "Sister Zhou! You take these 20 catties of stick noodles first, as for the matter of buying low-cost grain, I will tell him about it when the country comes out, and you will wait for my good news! ”

Zhou Damei saw Chen Shuying walking out of the kitchen with a grain bag, Zhou Damei immediately guessed Chen Shuying's intentions, and hurriedly refused: "Aunt Shuying!" You can ask Aiguo to help us buy affordable grain, which has already done our family a great favor, and we absolutely cannot ask for this grain. ”

Chen Shuying saw that Sister Zhou was unwilling to accept the food she sent, and immediately persuaded Sister Zhou: "Sister Zhou! Although our family can buy affordable food for the country, but it is not possible to buy the food back immediately, your three children, it is when they grow tall, even if you don't think about adults, then you should think about it! ”

Sister Zhou came to find Chen Shuying, just to ask Wu Aiguo to help buy some cheap food back, so she didn't plan to accept Chen Shuying's gift.

It wasn't until Zhou Damei heard Chen Shuying mention the three children in the family that Zhou Damei changed her attention and thanked Chen Shuying with a grateful face: "Aunt Shuying! Then we have borrowed the grain, and when we buy the grain, we will return the borrowed grain to you. ”

There are a total of four people in the Wu family to make money, and Wu Aiguo often comes back with some food, so the Wu family is not short of food at all.

Chen Shuying heard Sister Zhou's thanks, and said to Sister Zhou with a look of indifference: "Sister Zhou! We have been neighbors for many years, and it is normal for neighbors to help each other, and all four of us have indicators, which is nothing to our family, so you can accept these stick noodles with peace of mind. ”

"Mom! Did you just call me something? Wu Aiguo got dressed, walked out of the bathroom, and saw her mother who was talking to Sister Zhou, and hurriedly asked Chen Shuying.

Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry behind her, and immediately introduced to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! Some time ago, when your Uncle Zheng was moving goods, he accidentally twisted his waist and didn't go out to work for two whole months. ”

"Because of your Uncle Zheng's injury, and your Uncle Zheng's family, there is only one person who has a ration of food, which has caused their family to be out of food for two days, and your aunt came to you and wanted to ask you to help them buy some cheap grain back."

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's words, he immediately thought of the situation in Zheng Laoer's house, and hurriedly asked Zhou's eldest sister: "Eldest sister, aunt!" Is my Uncle Zheng's injuries serious? Why don't you send Uncle Zheng to the hospital to have a look. ”

When Zhou Damei heard Wu Aiguo ask about Zheng Lao'er's injury, she replied with a heavy heart: "Patriotic!" Your Uncle Zheng can move now, but he can't do heavy physical work, because your Uncle Zheng can't go out to work, and our family can't come up with so much money to buy high-priced grain, so we can only ask you for help and buy some low-cost grain back. ”

Wu Aiguo heard Zhou Damei's request, thought of the actual situation of the Zheng family, and hurriedly asked Zhou Damei: "Eldest sister, aunt!" There is no problem with helping to buy food, I will bring you food back when I come back from work tomorrow, but my Uncle Zheng can't do heavy physical work now, how should your family live? ”

Zhou Damei saw that Wu Aiguo promised to buy the food back tomorrow, which made her secretly relieved, and in the face of Wu Aiguo's inquiry, thinking of the current predicament of the family, Zhou Damei replied with a heavy face: "Patriotic!" Director Wang of the sub-district office knew the actual situation in our family, so he got us some guys who pasted matchboxes, and our whole family could earn seven or eight yuan a month. ”

When Zhou Damei introduced this, she hurriedly took out five yuan from her pocket and said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism!" This is the money for the purchase of grain, you collect it first. ”

Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Zhou Damei, and saw the five yuan handed to him by Zhou Damei, although he didn't want to accept the five yuan, but thinking of Zheng Laoer's character, Wu Aiguo still accepted the money, and said to Zhou Damei: "Eldest sister, aunt!" Then I will take the money, and I will deliver the food to you at home tomorrow evening. ”
