"Xie Cheng, come here and help me."
Liu Guangqi pushed the car, and Ding Qiunan supported him from behind. After a while, Liu Guangqi led the two of them to the river. Several little guys who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded Liu Guangqi as soon as they saw him.
"Okay, who is this, Guangqi."
Hearing Liu Guangqi's call, Yan Jie immediately ran over to help Ding's mother down. His eyes widened when he saw Ding Qiunan following Ding's mother asking for help. He walked aside and asked Liu Guangqi about Ding Qiunan in a low voice.
"This is my junior sister. I advise you not to make wrong decisions. You two are not suitable for each other."
Liu Guangqi knew what Yan Jiecheng's idea was as soon as he saw Yan Jiecheng's expression. He blocked Yan Jiecheng's little thoughts with just one sentence.
"Why is it inappropriate? We are young, so you have to help me, buddy."
Yan Jiecheng, who refused to give up, put his arms around Liu Guangqi's neck and said.
"This is their family, and they have hats. Do you think the third uncle will agree to you two being together?"
Seeing Liu Guangqi's gestures, Yan Jiecheng immediately lost interest in Ding Qiunan. Being with Ding Qiunan was not a good deal.
"This is soy sauce and pepper. You find something to put on it, and I'll go fish it out from the river."
One pheasant was obviously not enough to feed so many people. After settling Ding's mother and Ding Qiunan, Liu Guangqi came to the river to catch fish.
"Guangqi, don't touch it. The river is cold and you can freeze it. All the fish in the river have been fished. My dad came here several times and caught a few small fry."
Seeing Liu Guangqi going down to the river to catch fish, Yan Jiecheng ran over and reminded him kindly.
"That's your dad's bad luck. Look what it is."
Although it is spring now, the temperature of the river water is not high, hovering around more than ten degrees Celsius, which is almost ten degrees Celsius than the human body. Liu Guangqi had only been down for a while when he felt his legs tightening.
Anyway, with the protection of the river, Liu Guangqi was too lazy to work here and directly transformed a grass carp about one foot long from the space into the pool.
"Fuck, how did you do that?"
Yan Jiecheng's eyes almost popped out when he saw the big grass carp in Liu Guangqi's hand.
"How did you do it? Of course you fished it out of the river. Could it be that it was conjured out of thin air. What are those two holes of yours for? Are they for venting your anger?"
"No, my dad?"
"Your dad is your dad, and I am me. Just because he can't do it, doesn't mean I can't do it."
Liu Guangqi patted Yan Jiecheng's shoulder and went ashore with the fish.
Although there were not many pheasants and grass carp, it was still enough for a few people to barely fill their bellies. Moreover, Liu Guangqi and Zhou Qiao were not hungry for as long as the others, so it would be fine if they skipped a meal.
After eating, Liu Guangqi asked Yan Jiecheng to go to the hospital to ask for leave, while he pushed the weak mother Ding back to Andingmen in a cart.
Liu Guangqi was a little excited after not entering this courtyard for a long time.
"Who are you doing?"
As soon as Liu Guangqi helped Ding's mother into the yard, an old voice came from the house.
"This is my grandpa. My uncle's family was sent to Inner Mongolia and no one took care of him. He accidentally broke his leg a few days ago, so my mother took him here. It was me and my mother, grandpa."
Before Liu Guangqi could ask, Ding Qiunan on the side answered his doubts.
"oh."
Liu Guangqi nodded after hearing this. He helped Ding's mother into the house.
"What's going on? What's wrong with your mother, Nannan?"
Grandpa Ding asked worriedly when he saw his daughter being helped in through the door curtain and lying on the bed.
"It's okay, the wild vegetable digging guy fell down."
Just as Ding Qiunan was about to answer what was going on, the weak mother Ding answered her grandfather first.
"real?"
Grandpa was doubtful and doubtful.
"Really. Just lie down peacefully and I will help my mother into the house."
"No, I'll go and make food for your grandpa first."
Mother Ding insisted on getting up to cook.
"You'd better go back and rest first, Master. I'll cook the food."
"No, you are a guest"
"What's wrong with being a guest? Just listen to me."
After sending Ding's mother to the room, Liu Guangqi came to the kitchen and planned to make something for Ding Qiunan and the others, but when he saw the pitiful amount of cornmeal in the rice vat, Liu Guangqi was dumbfounded.
"Isn't this how much food your family has left?"
"Well, otherwise my mother and I wouldn't have gone outside the city to dig wild vegetables."
"This little food is not enough even if you dig more wild vegetables. What are you going to do after eating this little food? Are you going to resist for the next few days? It seems that there is still some time before you can receive the food stamps at the end of next month. Five days, maybe.”
"You definitely can't resist. If you don't eat for five days, you won't starve to death. Besides, we still have my grandfather at home. My dad plans to go to the ghost market tonight to see if he can buy some food. . Now that food is so scarce, I don’t know if anyone is selling food in the ghost market.”
Ding Qiunan said with a frown.
"The family is in such trouble, why don't you come to me?"
Liu Guangqi touched Ding Qiunan's dry and yellow hair and said.
"My dad won't let me look for you. Besides, it's useless to look for you. No one's family has enough food now. Your family has more people than mine. If I look for you, won't it cause trouble for you?"
Ding Qiunan lowered his head and clasped his fingers and said
"You, please tell your dad not to go out tonight. I will send you some food. If there is not enough food at home in the future, you will have to tell me directly and I will find a solution."
Liu Guangqi and Ding Qiunan kissed her gently on the forehead, and then began to cook. In fact, there was nothing to do. The little food was enough to make a corn lake.
That night, Liu Guangqi came to Ding Qiunan's house carrying a bag of grain and five pounds of bacon.
Ding Yushan was a little embarrassed to see Liu Guangqi's arrival, but when Ding's mother prepared the meal and the smell of bacon wafted to his nose, he still swallowed unconsciously.
Seeing this scene, Liu Guangqi knew that Ding Yushan's inner defenses were being broken down bit by bit. Only half of three years had passed and the days were still long. Sooner or later, he would have to sacrifice his daughter for five buckets of rice.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed. At noon, Liu Guangqi took advantage of his rare lunch break to come to Bai Jingqi. As Liu Guangqi became busier and busier, the number of visits to the old man became less and less. In order to make up for it every day, Liu Guangqi would try to stay as long as possible every time he came here, and even stay for a meal.
"Master, Master Zhanguang is back."
That day, Liu Guangqi was eating with the old man and Li Xiangxiu, when the concierge suddenly ran in from outside.
"Zhan Guang is back? Where are the people?"
When he heard that his grandson, whom he had not heard from for several years, was back from outside, the old man immediately walked out from behind the table.
"is behind"
Before the concierge finished speaking, a figure ran in from the outside. When he saw the food on the table, he didn't even say hello to the people present, and went straight to the dinner table to show off. Looking at the way he was devouring his food, no one would have imagined that this was a rich man.
"Eat slowly and don't choke. There's still soup."
Seeing his grandson being starved into this state, the old man felt extremely distressed. He personally filled a bowl of soup for Bai Zhanguang and placed it in front of him.
"Where have you been? You're so hungry. Your unit doesn't care about food."
Li Xiangxiu on the side looked at Bai Zhanguang who looked like a starving ghost and said.
"Don't ask, I don't know anything about work, and I can't say anything. Don't let me make mistakes. Is there any food at home? If so, prepare some for me when I leave tomorrow. Bring some."
Bai Zhanguang said while eating.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I haven't been back for several years. I only stay here for one day when I come back."
"one day
I couldn't even live here. I came back with my boss this time. The boss knew that I hadn't been back for several years and asked me to come back and take a look. I have to go back to the guest house in a while. "
"No matter what, I have to stay one night and get together with my family."
"Okay, he's not a child anymore, so of course there's a reason for doing this. You don't have to worry anymore."
Seeing Li Xiangxiu's reluctance, Bai Jingqi and Liu Guangqi looked at each other and stopped Li Xiangxiu.
Regarding Bai Zhanguang's career, Bai Jingqi was still doubtful at first, but after watching the documentaries in Liu Guangqi's space, and based on Bai Zhanguang's major, he probably had some guesses about where Bai Zhanguang worked.
"The time has come"
Seeing Bai Zhanguang's appearance, Liu Guangqi knew it was time to release the food in the space. Liu Guangguangqi originally wanted to wait until the Soviets withdrew before doing this, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.
Even people like Bai Zhanguang, who would not be short-changed by him, are so hungry. You can imagine how tense the supply situation in the northwest is.
That night Liu Guangqi put on a coat that did not exist in this era and quietly slipped out of Nanluogu Alley. We arrived at the Xizhimen train station.
I found a train that was going to the steel rolling mill. It was not easy to find a suitable place to store thousands of tons of grain. Apart from the warehouse, the most suitable place was the train.
In the darkness of the night, a figure sneaked quietly to the train station. After searching around for a long time, he finally found an empty train. Just when the figure was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, took out something from his pocket, and made a few gestures at the train carriage in the moonlight. Then he stuffed an envelope in the train room to the door.
After doing all this, the figure clapped his hands and was so satisfied that he left the train station.
"That bastard did this, Cao Xiaoqiang? Who is Cao Xiaoqiang?"
Early the next morning, the train driver who received the notice was preparing to drive the train to the steel rolling mill for loading. When he saw the words "Cao Xiaoqiang presented" spray-painted all over the train body, he immediately cursed his mother angrily.
"what's up."
Hearing the noise, the station staff came over with cigarettes in their mouths.
"What's wrong? Look what's wrong. Who is Cao Xiaoqiang? Stand up for me. I can't beat you to death. How do you want me to load the goods? How do you do the work of the security department? The cars are all stolen. No one knows that the painting is like this, so you have to wait until the thief puts his hand under your wife's quilt to find out."
[In view of the general environment,
The train driver pointed at his train and cursed.
"How are you talking? Keep your mouth clean."
Hearing that the train driver was hurting them like this, the security department staff who knew that they were in the wrong didn't say anything, but one who seemed to be a newcomer couldn't bear it and got angry.
"That's what I said. What's wrong? You're not convinced. Do you want to hit me? Come on, try hitting me."
"You think I don't dare to hit you? I don't like you."
Seeing the train driver sticking his head in front of him, the newcomer grabbed something on the side and prepared to knock on it.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
At this moment, a man who looked like a leader came over and grabbed the stick in the newcomer's hand. When the others saw this, they also pulled him aside in confusion.
"Okay, Lao Li, don't be angry. I know what happened. It's just that someone painted something on the car. I'll find someone to help you clean it later. There can't be any delay at the steel rolling mill. You guys should check it quickly. Check if there are any missing parts in the car."
The leader-like person was talking nice things to the train driver while calling his workers to check if there were any missing parts on the train. If parts were lost and something went wrong halfway, it would be a big accident.
"Old Sun, the security work at your station is so unbelievable. People even painted my entire car and didn't even know it. It would have been better if I had stolen something else. And he, he is not old, but he has a bad temper.
You're not young, you dare to fight with me. If this is left in my hands..."
"Okay, Lao Li, how old are you? You are still arguing with a child about whether it is embarrassing or not. Go to the car quickly to see if there is anything missing in the car. We have called the factory."
"Food, stationmaster, food, a lot of food."
Just after the leader calmed down the angry train driver, a surprising voice suddenly came from the other side of the train.
"What kind of food? Where did the food come from? What are you talking about?"
Food is definitely the most attractive thing in this era. Although the stationmaster said that the workers were yelling nonsense, his legs still walked towards the workers unconsciously.
"I'm not going to yell, stationmaster, there's a lot of food, the whole carriage is full of food, look at it."
As if afraid that the stationmaster would not believe it, the worker stood directly on the grain pile, picked up a handful of grain from his feet and showed it to the stationmaster.
Seeing this scene, not only the station master went crazy, but also the entire station staff went crazy. They all ran towards the carriage where the workers were, including the train driver who just got mad.
It wasn't until the stationmaster climbed into the carriage that he realized how much food the workers were talking about. Looking at the originally empty train waiting to be loaded, every carriage is now filled to the brim with food.
Not only this car, but also the empty train next to it.
"Stationmaster, we are rich."
The station workers who came running up quickly went crazy when they saw so much food. After one of them yelled, he took off his pants and began to put them inside. The others also followed suit when they saw this. He took his pants back and took them off.
At first, the stationmaster didn't react. When he came to his senses, he thought about the words written on the car and immediately thought that someone must have donated the food to the country, although he didn't know how the other party had donated it overnight. So much food got into the car. But I understand that I must keep these things.
"Put it down, let it all go."
Looking at the workers who were frantically grabbing food, the stationmaster stopped him loudly, but the workers who were already dizzy from hunger did not listen to his advice at all. They were still frantically loading food into their clothes. If their pants couldn't fit in it, they would Use clothes to pack, and some people even bring bags to pack them.
Seeing this scene, the station commander suddenly became jealous. Fortunately, he saw the pistol on the waist of the security section chief. Without saying a word, he ran over, pulled out the pistol and shot three times in the sky.
"I'll see who dares to rob. If anyone dares to rob again, I'll kill them all. Get off here."
When they heard the sound of gunfire, the workers who were in a mess suddenly stopped and looked at the gun in the stationmaster's hand, and all their lost sanity was restored.
"Get down, get down here."
Seeing that the workers had stopped, the stationmaster also breathed a sigh of relief, and then chased away the workers like ducks.
"Show me the food they have here. If there's even one grain missing, I'll shoot you. Do you hear me?"
After driving the workers out, the station manager returned the gun to the security section chief, then quickly ran to his office and dialed the number of the public security district.
"What, Cao Xiaoqiang."
Hearing these three words Cao Xiaoqiang, the director on the other end of the phone suddenly stood up. This name was too familiar to him. This is a person with a name at the highest level. Every time he appears, he will give the country a surprise. I don’t know what the surprise will be this time.
"These are the two carts of food you were talking about."
The director actually reported the matter and then took the people to Xizhimen Railway Station. He originally thought that the two cars of food mentioned by the station master meant the food of two carriages. After all, there is a lot of food in two carriages, and there are over a hundred tons of it anyway. It is not easy to donate hundreds of tons of food to the country these days.
But he never expected that the two cars of food the stationmaster mentioned were actually the food of two trains. Even though the director had seen a lot of wind and waves, he was shocked to see so much food at once.
"That's right, there are two cars. Don't worry, leader, even though all the food is here, I can guarantee that not a single grain of food will escape."
stand
The chief nodded affirmatively and patted his chest in assurance.
"Besides these two cars, are there any other discoveries?"
"Yes, there is another letter. We found this letter on the ballast."
As he spoke, the stationmaster took out a letter from his pocket.
"Lao Luo, you are here too."
Just when Luo Yong was about to open the envelope and take a look, Zheng Chaoyang, his former capable officer, rushed over.
