"Doctor Xiao Liu, everyone is going to grab food, why don't you go?"
Seeing Liu Guangqi standing at the door, shopkeeper Liu who was locking the door of the grocery store next door kindly reminded him.
"I just bought food two days ago. I still have enough food at home, and so many people have gone there. By the time it's my turn, the food store will probably be sold out. Rather than wasting all my efforts, it's better to rest here. .”
Liu Guangqi looked at Shopkeeper Liu and smiled.
"Then you are very lucky. Our family will soon run out of food. I have to buy some quickly. Even if I don't come back tonight, I have to stay there, otherwise my family will run out of food."
After speaking, shopkeeper Liu quickly ran towards the nearby grain store with a few bags under his arm.
With almost a gust of wind, the originally bustling street turned into a ghost street.
Liu Guangqi was about to go back and sit on the chair to read a book, but out of the corner of his eye he spotted a pregnant woman with a pregnant belly panting and walking awkwardly towards the grain store.
Liu Guangqi's scalp went numb when he saw this figure. He threw the purple clay pot in his hand into the space and ran towards Chen Xueru.
"What are you doing? You're crazy. When you go to buy food with such a big belly, you are not afraid of squeezing out the child. Where is Lao Hou?"
Liu Guangqi dragged Chen Xueru to the medical center and carefully helped her sit down in his chair.
"Forget about him, he went to Tianjin again."
Chen Xueru shook her fan and took a breath.
"What about the workers in your store? Ask them to buy it for you, otherwise you can run to the grain store with a big belly. Fortunately, it's okay. If something happens, you won't have time to regret it."
Liu Guangqi took Chen Xueru's pulse and felt relieved after confirming that his son was fine.
"They have no hope. As soon as they heard that food purchases were to be restricted, they ran away immediately. See if I don't deduct their wages later."
Chen Xueru said angrily.
"Don't make yourself miserable, the worker is the father now. If you really buckle, you will be in trouble later."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and buy some food for me. My food is enough for seven days. If seven days pass, your son will have nothing to eat."
There was no one around at the moment, so Chen Xueru stopped being secretive and said while touching her belly.
"Buy whatever you want. Just listen to what they are saying. This purchase restriction is only for white flour. It is eight jins of white flour per month. It is not an eight jins limit of grain. If it is eight jins of grain a month, it won't starve people to death. Rice and There is no purchase limit for miscellaneous grains at the moment, so you can buy them as you like. Even if there is a purchase limit one day, it will definitely be counted separately and will not be mixed with white flour.
At that time, you can at least have a ration of twenty or thirty kilograms a month. Twenty or thirty kilograms is enough for you, and you don't do any heavy work.
You see, the people who go to the street office tonight should go door to door to explain. In today's battle, it seems that someone is causing trouble behind the scenes. "
Liu Guangqi explained to Chen Xueru.
"Real or false, where did you get the news? Is it reliable?"
Chen Xueru looked at Liu Guangqi and asked doubtfully.
"It really can't be true anymore. If you don't believe it, I'll send you a hundred kilograms of grain tonight. Do you like rice or white flour?"…
"You have food in your hand."
Chen Xueru's eyes lit up when she heard the food in Liu Guangqi's hand. No matter whether the rumors spread outside were true or false, she still felt safe now that she had some food in her hand.
"That's necessary. I expected this day two months ago. The big vats in our cellar are all filled with grain. If there was no grain base, how could I be sitting here so leisurely?"
"Then give me more."
After saying that, Chen Xueru sat on Liu Guangqi's lap, hugged Liu Guangqi's neck and started acting coquettishly.
"Why are you giving so much? It's all a benefit to the old man. Don't worry, I won't let you and my son suffer. From now on, I will send you some food on time every month to ensure that you and my son are not hungry. "
The two of them can't be seen from the outside at their current angle. Liu
Guangqi's hands naturally became dishonest. One hand was placed on Chen Xueru's slender waist, and the other hand was placed on Chen Xueru's bulging abdomen to feel the rhythm of the fetus.
"That won't work. You have to send me more food, otherwise I won't know what to do."
Although Chen Xueru's family has some money, there are many people like Old BJ who have small fortunes like her. Under the tide of the times, even the gates of big houses like the Bai family can't hold it, let alone them. They are like a small boat that can only be blown by the wind and waves.
During the Japanese occupation, although they were better than the common people at the bottom and could eat some decent food, they spent a lot of money to buy every meal. It's only been a few good days, but news like that has come out again. How can we not be afraid?
"Okay, I'll send you two hundred kilograms of grain to the head office."
With Liu Guangqi's guarantee, Chen Xueru felt relieved. After the two hugged each other for a while, they saw that it was time to get off work, but there was no sign of anyone at the medical center. Liu Guangqi had to lift up the door and window panels alone, and supported Chen Xueru towards her home. .
If it were normal, Liu Guangqi would not dare to do this. After all, people's words are terrible, but now Liu Guangqi can't care about it. He has to pass by the grain store when he returns to Chen Xueru's house. There are so many people in the grain store now. What if Chen Xueru makes those people lose their minds? If someone touches or scratches it, Liu Guangqi will really kill someone. And at this time, Liu Guangqi was holding Chen Xueru, even if others saw it, they wouldn't say anything.
"Tsk, tsk, do you think these people have any brains? People just come over with random words and don't use their brains to think about it. They don't have any judgment at all."
At this time, the door of the grain store was already crowded with people selling grain. The whole street was packed with water. Everyone was holding rice bags in their hands, and the grain store was crowded like crazy. Looking at the huge crowd of people in front of him, Liu Guangqi clicked his tongue.
"Do you think everyone is the same as you, so foresighted? If they had food in their hands, they would be so panicked. It's not because of the lack of food. They don't even have anything to eat. How can you tell them to think calmly?"
Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Liu Guangqi.
This road was blocked and Liu Guangqi had to help Chen Xueru to take another road. However, this road was also blocked by people selling grain. Although there was a small gap, Liu Guangqi did not dare to take risks, so he had to help Chen Xueru along the bottom of the city wall to drag Chen Xueru. Sent back. ….
After sending it back, Liu Guangqi walked towards Nanluogu Lane. Looking at the scenes on both sides of the road, Liu Guangqi still underestimated the rumor. Because of this rumor, the whole old BJ was in riots. The streets and alleys of the old BJ were all carrying bags. People who go to the grain store.
Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, there were even violent incidents. Liu Guangqi saw several places, but they were not serious. They were all pushed to the ground by nearby police comrades as soon as they started.
"Grab the food. Let go. This is our family's life-saving food."
As soon as he reached an alley, Liu Guangqi heard a shrill scream. When Liu Guangqi turned around, he saw a Sanqingzi snatching a rice bag from a woman's arms.
"In broad daylight, the sky is clear, and you are robbing something on the street, you are looking for death."
Upon seeing this, Liu Guangqi walked up and kicked San Qingzi hard on the lower back, knocking the shit out of him.
"If you dare to ruin my good deeds, you are seeking death."
San Qingzi, who got up from the ground, took out a knife and rushed towards Liu Guangqi when he saw Liu Guangqi.
"At your level, you're a bit immature if you want to fool around."
Listening to the opponent's skillful words, Liu Guangqi thought he had met a ruthless person, but after seeing the opponent's clumsy movements, Liu Guangqi understood that this was a bastard. This was probably his first time doing this.
The hand that was originally about to take out the guy also retracted. After the last incident, Liu Guangqi made a simulated gun just in case. Although it didn't have the inside of a real gun, it looked like a real gun from the outside. They are exactly the same and can be switched at any time when encountering a situation. It's perfect for scaring people.
Seeing San Qingzi rushing toward him, Liu Guangqi nimbly dodged to the side, then grabbed the opponent's knife-holding hand and slashed lightly, knocking the opponent's knife to the ground. Immediately afterwards
It's just a grapple to push the opponent to the ground.
"what happened,"
As soon as Liu Guangqi subdued the man, two policemen walked in from the alley. When they saw what was happening in front of them, they immediately put their hands on their waists.
"Don't get me wrong, comrade policeman, this guy wanted to steal this eldest sister's food, but I overpowered him."
Seeing the police touching the gun, Liu Guangqi immediately let go of the gangster, raised his hand and explained. He didn't want to be misunderstood and end his life hastily. .
