Seeing this situation, although Zou Jie is a woman, he has no intention of standing idly by.

She handed over the things in her hand to Xiaomei, and immediately stepped forward to stop: "Stop!" Stop it. ”

A few of the thugs looked up at her, but they didn't mean to stop.

Zou Jie scolded: "If you don't stop, ask the police to arrest you!" ”

The word "public security" is very effective, hearing these two words, several gangsters restrained their fists and feet, and turned their eyes to Zou Jie who was shouting.

An older thug was hostile and said, "Who are you?" Dare to meddle with us, looking for a beating, right? It's still a woman, and she's quite bold! ”

Zou Jie said angrily: "Just a few of you stinky scoundrels, if you have the ability, you can come and give it a try, I have killed all the Japanese devils, am I afraid of you?" Get out of here, otherwise, I'll call the police station to arrest you and lock you up for a few days and nights. ”

Hearing Zou Jie say this, he really suppressed a few gangsters, just looked at Zou Jie, and didn't dare to make another move.

The sharp-eyed thug said, "She seems to be the leader of the commune." ”

People are clothes and horses, looking at Zou Jie's dress, he is not an ordinary person, these gangsters are not stupid, they have been on this street for a long time, and they know a little about "rivers and lakes".

Zou Jie was not afraid of these people at all, and walked in front of the beaten man alone.

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, unkempt, Zou Jie knows him, he also knows Zou Jie, in the little boy's heart Zou Jie is a great benevolent person who often gives him alms.

The little boy fled with a deaf and mute grandmother and lived in a dilapidated shack near the big car shop, where no one drove them away because of the pity.

The grandfather and grandson made a living by begging on weekdays.

As for the little boy's last name? What is it called? Where did it come from? Nobody knows.

Because of begging to eat a hundred family meals, everyone gave the little boy the nickname Xiao Baijia.

Zou Jie saw that Xiaobaijia was beaten by a few thugs and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he asked with concern, "Do you want to care?" ”

Xiao Baijia got up and knelt down and kowtowed to Zou Jie, then looked up at Zou Jie gratefully, no grievances, no words, just shook his head.

The scoundrels didn't dare to come any closer, and dispersed together at the beckoning of a leader.

"Why did they beat you?" Zou Jie asked.

Xiao Baijia still shook his head and didn't say anything, and reluctantly stood up, wanting to leave but being so painful that he couldn't do it for a while.

At this time, he didn't seem to care much about his pain, his eyes went over to Zou Jie and stared at Xiaomei standing next to the bicycle.

Zou Jie glanced back at Xiaomei, who was still holding a wrapping bag of bread and soda.

Zou Jie thought that Xiaobaijia must be hungry, so he beckoned Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, come over and bring bread and soda." ”

Xiaomei walked over, Zou Jie took out a loaf of bread from the package bag and handed it to Xiaobaijia: "Are you hungry?" Here you go, eat. ”

Xiao Baijia looked at Zou Jie but refused to take the bread, and kept shaking his head.

"Are you mute? Can only shake his head and can't speak? Zou Jie said angrily, "Why don't you give you bread?" ”

Xiaobaijia may be the most taboo about the word "dumb", saying: "I'm not dumb, I can't eat your bread." ”

It turned out that he didn't speak because the corners of his mouth and face were kicked and beaten by the thugs, and when he spoke, the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

Zou Jie teased: "Then why are you staring at her?" Little brat, do you also see that your sister is beautiful? ”

"I'm not!" Xiaobaijia tried his best to refute.

"Why is that?" Zou Jie asked.

Xiaobaijia said: "I was looking at the bicycle, I thought it was yours." ”

"It's mine, what's wrong?"

Xiaobaijia said: "It's yours." ”

Xiao Baijia felt very relieved, and smiled shyly.

Zou Jie asked, "What's mine?" ”

Xiao Baijia lowered his head and said, "I...... I got beaten because of your bike. ”

Xiaobaijia's words suddenly made Zou Jie and Xiaomei very puzzled.

Zou Jie asked, "What did you say?" What's going on? ”

Xiao Baijia said aggrievedly: "They want to pull out the gas core of your bicycle and deflate it, and I will protect it, and they will come to beat me." ”

"Why are they gassing me?" Zou Jie was a little puzzled.

Xiaobaijia said: "I can't say for sure, it seems that the third brother let it go, I just saw the third brother come over and give them two bottles of soda." ”

"Who is the third brother?"

Zou Jie subconsciously looked around and asked angrily.

"Third brother, you don't know?" Xiao Baijia looked at Zou Jie, thinking that Zou Jie asked knowingly, "I've seen you two talk." ”

Zou Jie guessed: "You said that the third brother is the third brother? ”

Xiao Baijia nodded at Zou Jie.

Zou Jie didn't ask any more questions, and forced a loaf of bread to Xiaobaijia, and Xiaomei stuffed him with a bottle of soda when she saw this.

When Zou Jie was leaving, he said to Xiaobaijia: "You come to Xingfutun to find me at noon tomorrow, and I promise to let you have a full meal." ”

Xiao Baijia held bread and soda in his hand, and kept nodding, he couldn't believe that all this was true, and looked at the two kind sisters in a daze.

"Remember, tomorrow at noon." After Zou Jie finished speaking, he pushed the bicycle and Xiaomei left.

Zou Jie said angrily to Xiaomei as he walked: "If you don't have a good heart, your stomach is bad, this kind of person will be punished sooner or later." ”

Xiaomei asked puzzledly, "Why did he let you be angry?" Is it because we didn't give him face? ”

"No, he's playing tricks on the two of us, letting people release the bicycle gas and take the gas core, thinking that we can't go back to Xingfutun tonight, so we can only live in the guest house, so he has a chance to pester you again."

Xiaomei suddenly realized that she had to admire Zou Jie's sister for being smart. At the same time, he was deeply disgusted by Gao Laosan's ill-intentioned intentions.

It is not Zou Jie's purpose to visit the supply and marketing cooperative, but to lead Xiaomei to take a turn, after all, Xiaomei usually doesn't come often.

Leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Xiaomei thought that Zou Jie would go back to Xingfutun with her immediately, but she didn't expect Zou Jie to lead her into the grain supply store.

"Sister Zou, what are we doing here?" Xiaomei was a little inexplicable.

"If you don't come here, what will your yak brother pull wood for the helpers to eat tomorrow?" Zou Jie said, "He didn't pull wood for a long time because of this difficulty." Acquaintance is fate, I decided to help him, and helping him is also helping you? You know why I brought you to the Commune this time, right? ”

"Sister Zou wants to buy grain and rice here?"

"yes, otherwise what am I going to do in the guest house? Take the pockets, take the food book, the food stamps, and the tofu stamps. ”

"Are you enough for yourself?"

"You forgot? Didn't I go down to the grassroots level this month, just pay money and food stamps, and not account for the food supply quota. ”

"That money and food stamps ......"

"Sister, you don't have to worry about me, I'm usually alone, I rarely spend, and I save a lot of food stamps, in addition, Wen Duo also gave me a lot of national food stamps, count your brother Yakzi lucky."

Xiaomei is very glad to meet a kind-hearted person like Sister Zou Jie, her sister is willing to help Brother Yakzi, and Xiaomei is also very happy for Brother Yakzi.

Xiaomei accompanied Zou Jie into the grain supply store, and the staff of the grain store were familiar with Zou Jie and treated her very politely.

The eldest brother-in-law of the fourth girl, Zhaonan, works in a grain store, and knows Xiaomei because he often goes to Xingfutun.

After greeting each other, he was very puzzled about Xiaomei and Zou Jie being together, and suddenly realized when he asked the reason.

Zou Jie took out 30 catties of sorghum rice, 5 catties of white flour and 5 catties of rice, as well as 2 catties of soybean oil at the grain store. Almost all the grain and oil accumulated in her food book were taken out.

After receiving the grain and oil, Zou Jie was a little difficult, and it was no problem to put these things on the back seat of the bicycle alone, but in this way, she and Xiaomei had to push the bicycle and walk back to Xingfutun, if the food was put on the beam, although it was okay, it would be a little embarrassing to ride the bike.

The eldest brother-in-law of the fourth girl thought of Zou Jie's difficulties, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he would borrow a bicycle and help them deliver grain and oil to Xingfutun after work.

This couldn't be better, Zou Jie and Xiaomei are very grateful.

Leaving the grain supply store, Xiaomei thought it was time to go back to Xingfutun this time, but who knew that Zou Jie led her into an alley again.

Xiaomei doesn't understand what kind of medicine Zou Jie sells in the gourd? asked, "Sister Zou, where are you taking me again?" ”

"Go to the tofu workshop, order a plate of tofu, and tomorrow your brother will go to the forestry station to pull wood, and ask him to bring a bucket of water, and it will be loaded back when he goes back." Zou Jie said, "Tomorrow at noon, let's stew soybean curd with sorghum rice, so that your brothers and brothers can eat enough." ”

"Sister Zou, you are really thoughtful, how much does it cost you?"

"Counting it, it's about half a month's salary." Zou Jie said, "I'll put this account on your head." ”

"I can't afford it."

"I can't afford it, you and your brother don't forget about my sister in the future."

"Sister, you are making fun of me again, I am me, Brother Yakzi is Brother Yakzi, I must remember my sister's goodness, and Brother Yakzi must remember your great kindness, but how can the two of us ......"

"Didn't I say, everything is impossible, planting a plane tree to attract a phoenix, and when he builds the house, I will personally match you up, what do you think?"

"Sister, don't talk about it, who knows what will happen in the future?"

"The next thing is to go forward along the road of socialism, and the road is getting wider and wider, and Lenin said, 'There will be bread, there will be everything.'"

The two sisters talked and arrived at the "People's Commune Canteen Tofu Workshop".

Last year, the Great Yue Jin began, the implementation of the people's commune, the members of the society eat a big pot of rice, each production brigade has at least one tofu workshop, now most of the grain has been put in high-yield satellites to hand over to the state, the production team has no grain and no rice to cook, the "big pot rice" exists in name only, the so-called tofu workshop and the big canteen have become decorations.

Now, I am afraid that there is only one family that makes tofu every day in the entire Lushan People's Commune.

The tofu here is supplied daily to the commune's guest house, canteen, and to non-agricultural residents like Zou Jie, who hold tofu tickets on a monthly basis.

Zou Jie has four catties of tofu tickets per month, and there is no need to expire and invalidate the month.

If you want to buy more tofu, unless you use the national food stamps plus RMB, you can exchange it for tofu in the name of buying soybeans. Zou Jie is ready to do this today.
