Chapter 111

"Zhide, what's up? Did you find it? "

After sitting on the bench for several hours at the post office, Yu Guizhen finally looked forward to her son's return. As soon as she saw her face, she asked questions like a barrage of bullets.

"Ah

Han Zhide pulled his face, sighed heavily and said, "if I didn't find it, the driver and conductor said that there were no suspicious people on the bus, and I couldn't help it."

"So... Didn't you go to the police station?" Yu Guizhen still remembers the way pointed out by the "leader" just now. Can't he report the case to the police station without finding it on the bus?

"Yes, but the police of the police station refused to go to the police, saying that we are not the payee on the money order. Only when the payee reports the case in person will they investigate." Han Zhide said dejectedly.

"Ah? What shall we do then? " When Yu Guizhen saw it, it couldn't work either. She was in a bit of a hurry.

Don't look at her usual whirring, dancing in charge of the family's affairs, but when it comes to big things outside, she's numb, and she doesn't know what to do.

Han Zhide said, "I'm thinking that you'll be here today until the post office comes off work. I'll go back to the village first and bring Xiaocui tomorrow. Let her report the case in person. Then the police station can help us find it."

This is a good way, but from the perspective of Yu Guizhen, I don't think it's a good way.

"Let me stay? Where can I go when the post office is off duty? You can't spend the night on the street, can you? Besides, I have no place to eat? I'll be sick if I stay here all night! "

Han Zhide said, "isn't Lijuan here? When the post office is off work, you go to Lijuan. You are her mother. If you go to her for a meal and a night, what can she do? "

Yu Guizhen curled her lips, "she? With her selfishness, can I have a meal with her family? You can pull it down. I don't want to be angry. "

It's said that her daughter is not like her mother. In her heart, Yu Guizhen thinks that her little girl is the same as her, and she's all pinched to the bone. How can she give up her own food for nothing? After thinking about it, Han Zhide said, "if you don't wait here, I'll go to Lijuan's house to ask. If her house is willing to take you in, you'll stay. If she doesn't agree, you'll stay. Go back to the village to find Xiaocui."

"OK, that's a good way." Yu Guizhen couldn't think of a better way. She just listened to her son's arrangement.

"Well, you wait here, and I'll ask her." Han Zhide is about to go out.

"Oh, wait a minute." Yu Guizhen stopped him and said bitterly, "my mother is hungry. Can you help me buy something to eat?"

Han Zhide said, "Mom, I'm hungry too, but I need food stamps to buy anything here. I don't have food stamps either. We have no place to buy food even if we have money."

The old lady touched her shriveled stomach and said, "Oh, forget it. Go ahead and get busy..."

Han Zhide agreed and went out with two sour legs.

……

At this time, Han Mingxiu also left the county Party committee compound and went to Aunt Su's home.

The last time she came, she only went to Gao's, Zhou's and Cui's. she didn't have time to go to the other several. Just taking advantage of today's time, she went door-to-door and gave them some radishes and wild vegetables that she grew at home, which could improve their life.

When she arrived at Aunt Su's house, she was sitting in the yard washing clothes. When she saw Han Mingxiu coming, aunt Su was very happy. She helped her move the stool and poured tea for her.

"Xiao Han, you're here just in time. This is the new tea from my niece. I've just brewed some. Just have a try!"

Having been in the north for six or seven years, aunt Su has learned the standard northern dialect. She has no Shanghai accent when chatting, just like a northerner sitting on the ground.

Han Mingxiu took the bowl and saw that the tea soup in the bowl was ruddy and bright. Before the tea reached his mouth, he smelled a faint aroma of tea, and knew it was good tea.

Han Mingxiu took a sip and looked at Aunt Su's yard by the way.

The yard is not big, only more than 30 square meters. Aunt Su tidied up the yard. In addition to stacking firewood and garbage trucks, she also opened up a small vegetable garden.

The vegetable garden covers an area of more than ten square meters, in which eggplant, beans, radish and cabbage are planted. A ridge of green onions is also planted near the wall. When you look at the small vegetable garden, you can see that the owner of the garden is a person who can live and love life.

"What about the tea? Do you like it? Auntie, there are still some. I'll wrap some for you. " Aunt Su said eagerly.

Han Mingxiu put down the tea bowl and said, "aunt Su, you'd better keep it for yourself. I'm a countryman. I'm not used to tea. I'll be blind if you give me this tea."

Seeing that she refused to accept it, aunt Su was a little disappointed and said, "you always give food to Auntie. Auntie has no money now, and she only has this tea to take out her hand..."

Han Mingxiu said hastily, "aunt Su, you must not have psychological burden. I'm not trying to repay you for helping you. I just can't bear to see you reduced to this point. I'll give you a hand. It doesn't mean anything else. Don't take this thing I give you as pressure!"

Then he took out some radishes and wild vegetables from the basket, and gave her a dozen dry corn cobs. He also said, "you see, these are all planted by me, and they are not worth anything. Just go on, and don't have any ideological burden."

Aunt Su took the things and said gratefully, "OK, OK, aunt remember."

"If aunt can return to Shanghai in the future, she will repay you well..." the following sentence was thought by Aunt Su in her heart, but she didn't say it.

Although she said that it's nothing worth growing, aunt Su knew that in this age of material scarcity, not to mention the expensive food, it's a handful of radishes and wild vegetables, which are extremely rare good things.

It's a luxury for them to have a chance to eat some fresh vegetables and wild vegetables after eating pickled vegetables and dried cabbage all winter!

"By the way, did you have lunch? If you don't eat it, I'll make some for you. It's just that this month's grains have been distributed. I'll give you pancakes to eat. " Aunt Su sincerely let her, want to give her a delicious meal.

Han Mingxiu knows that these people only give out two Jin of fine grain, one jin of rice and one jin of white flour in a month. How can she bear to eat her just for this?

Besides, she had to take advantage of her lunch break to go to several more houses. Otherwise, after two o'clock, everyone would go to sweep the street and the toilet, and she could not find anyone to deliver things to others.
