Time flies by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, four days have passed since the day of the transaction between Chu Heng and Yan Muze.
Early that morning, after Chu Heng came to the unit to make the handover, he went to the grocery store on the street.
Now the Ni family only has a woman who looks after the two half-year-old children. As the only male relative, he naturally has to take on the responsibility of helping his father-in-law take care of the family and his brother-in-law taking care of his wife.
During Ni Yinghong's absence, he would go to his father-in-law's house from time to time to see if there was anything his sister-in-law needed his help with.
When he passed by yesterday, his brother-in-law Ni Zhen said he was hungry for meat, and his sister-in-law Ni Yinghua said she wanted to eat peaches.
So, he planned to buy some meat and fruit to send to his father-in-law's family today, so that his mother could satisfy their cravings.
Well, if nothing unexpected happens, my sister-in-law has indeed not eaten meat for a while.
Chu Heng had a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets, wandering on the road like a blind wanderer.
Not long after, he came to the grocery store.
At this moment, there was a long and bustling queue at the door of the store as usual. Everyone was staring eagerly at the meat stall, looking forward to buying a delicious piece of fat when it was their turn.
Director Chu naturally didn't need to queue up. He went straight to the front of the queue and walked into the store with peace of mind.
Dead Fish Eyes, who was wiping the counter, immediately spotted him and hurriedly greeted him: "Director Chu is here, what do you want to buy today?"
"Half a catty of meat, I want it to be fatter and thicker." Chu Heng threw a cigarette first, then turned and glanced at the fruit counter. Seeing that several things on it were a little wilted, he asked: "Hey, I said, brother, this fruit looks bad, is there no fresh one?"
If anyone else had said this, he would have been scolded to death by Yuyanyan.
Those fruits are not rotten or bad, so why can’t they work?
Want something fresh?
Climb the tree and eat it yourself. Everything on it will be fresh!
But standing in front of him now was the tyrant on the street, Director Chu Hengchu. Let alone scolding him, he didn't even dare to give him a look, he even had to support him.
Dead Fish Eyes looked around, lowered his voice and said to Chu Heng: "There are fresh ones. They were just delivered this morning. If you want anything, I will get it from the back for you, but don't say anything outside, otherwise these will But no one wants it.”
"Keep your mouth shut." Chu Heng assured him with a pat on his chest, and immediately took out the money slips and a few net bags from his pocket and handed them to him, saying: "Here are two watermelons, and two pounds of peaches. If you have any, give me a cantaloupe, and a kiwi fruit too." Two kilograms, that’s all.”
"Okay, I'll put it in for you right now." Dead Fish Eyes hurriedly took the money ticket and left the counter.
About five minutes later, he came back carrying meat and fruit.
These are all carefully selected by him. The meat is standard fat meat, with only a thin layer of lean meat. The fruits are also very fresh, with green leaves in them.
"Thank you, brother." Chu Heng could see it right away. He smiled with satisfaction, flicked another cigarette, took the things and turned around to leave.
When he came out of the store, a young man standing in line to buy meat saw him coming out with a big piece of fat and stopped immediately.
"Hey, this person seems to have jumped in. This is breaking the rules."
The friend next to the young man quickly grabbed him and said anxiously: "You don't want to live anymore! Do you know who he is?"
"Who?"
"That's Chu Heng, the director of the grain store!"
"That ruthless person who cut off the Zhang family's food rations for a month and no one dared to take care of him?"
"As for him, Wang Huzi, who was jumping up and down in the street next door, wanted to touch him, but his family's food supply was cut off immediately. If Wang Huzi's father hadn't come to kowtow to apologize, and even personally broke one of his son's legs, I guess their families are still hungry now."
"Tell me, look at this man's smile. I didn't expect him to be so cruel. Hey, did he hear what I just said? He can't cut off my family's food, right?"
"Just give it a try and bring the food book over later. If you can buy food, then you'll be fine."
…
At this time, the ruthless Director Chu had already ridden on his car and drove to his father-in-law's house.
Along the way, the big piece of fat on his hand attracted a lot of envious looks to him, and there were even some naughty kids chasing him behind the bike while drooling.
Those green eyes made Chu Heng extremely stressed. He quickly stepped on the car and threw the children away.
He is really afraid of those greedy brats snatching the meat. Will you beat him or not?
He wouldn't be able to do anything to such an older child.
So I can only hide.
Chu Heng drove at a fast pace and arrived at the Ni family courtyard in a short while.
Coincidentally, my sister-in-law is off work today and is taking her two children to dry their quilts in the courtyard.
Seeing the fruits and meat he brought, Ni Zhen and Ni Yinghua jumped up and down excitedly, calling each other brother-in-law, which is called affection.
Even the sister-in-law was smiling from ear to ear.
"This meat is so good, look at this big fat fat, it will taste so good to anyone." The sister-in-law took the food from his hand with a smile and said: "Eat here tonight, Hengzi, I will make black fungus for you. "
"No, no, I have other things to do in the evening." Chu Heng shook his head with a smile, and as he fiddled with his brother-in-law's greasy head, he asked: "Hey, sister-in-law, is there a letter from the Northeast? Tell me? When did you say you would come back?"
"No, I reported that he was safe when I got there, but then there was no news at all." The sister-in-law sighed when she mentioned this. These days, she was really exhausted both mentally and physically taking care of the house and home alone.
"I've been gone for so long, and I don't know when I'll be back." Chu Heng also sighed. How could a newlywed couple be alone in the cold kitchen and bed every day?
If Ni Yinghong doesn't come back, Five Tigers Capturing the Dragon will be on the agenda!
At this moment, the Ni family members, who were being talked about by these two people, were gathering in the hospital with sad faces.
Just this morning, Ni Yinghong's grandma finally couldn't stand it anymore. Just after eating in the morning, the old man suddenly started coughing up blood, and soon fell into coma. Now she is being rescued, but she doesn't know if she will survive.
The old lady had tuberculosis. In this era when medical treatment is scarce and barefoot doctors are everywhere, it is almost the same as cancer, and she can easily die.
Originally, when Ni Yinghong and his family came over, the old lady was already on her deathbed. She was coughing up blood and would fall into coma from time to time. She was so skinny that she looked like she was going to die.
But when he saw his granddaughter, whom he had not seen for many years, the old man suddenly felt energetic and his physical condition improved instantly.
In addition, Ni Yinghong brought enough money and tickets, and every now and then he took out some national food stamps to find people to exchange for some nutritional supplements and other things to replenish the elderly's health, and there were signs of improvement for a while.
Just when the family was happily thinking that the old lady could survive the test, she suddenly came here. This huge psychological gap was really unacceptable.
