Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 395 Little Beggar

They haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time.

How could they not be happy with a dish that’s all meat?

This was the most delicious dish they had ever eaten.

All the workers went straight to the canteen as soon as they got off work.

This is their happiest time.

After handing over the task to Director Zhang, Zhang Weiguo left the steel mill.

He hadn't been to the steel mill for a long time. This was his first job and he had stayed here for a long time.

Everything here is very familiar. After being away for such a long time, nothing is strange, it is still very familiar.

But Zhang Weiguo couldn't remember every single person here.

There are too many people here, and many of them are people Zhang Weiguo has never seen.

With so many people, it is impossible for Zhang Weiguo to remember every one of them. Zhang Weiguo is mainly in the purchasing department and has few opportunities to work in the factory.

Most of the people in the purchasing department are out running errands and spend little time in the factory. Even if they are in the factory, they are in the purchasing department.

They would never go to the workshop and naturally wouldn't know the workers.

There is no friendship between us, so there is no need to know each other.

Zhang Weiguo didn't come to the steel mill to eat, so he returned to the tractor factory after finishing his work.

Zhang Weiguo has nothing to do now. He is just looking forward to the birth of his child and then going home to see him.

It will take several months for the baby to be born, so there is no rush.

Zhang Weiguo thought about getting some cloth coupons to buy some soft cloth for the children.

Dacron cloth is too hard and is not suitable for children at all.

Cotton ones are the best, but there is less stuff.

Zhang Weiguo also needs to find someone to do it.

Scar is undoubtedly the best candidate. He has contact with many people and knows who has what they need.

Zhang Weiguo hasn't looked for Scar for a long time. I wonder what he is doing now?

I don’t even know if he’s married?

Judging from Scar's behavior, he should be married.

Getting married is easy now, all you need to do is get a certificate.

This is in the city. If it were in the countryside, we could just hold a banquet.

Is there any proof that they don't care?

Zhang Weiguo did not plan to let Daoba continue to sell grain. Now that food was not so scarce, at least everyone could have food to eat.

Life is much better now, much better than before.

This is also a good harvest this year, so we have food.

With more food, life will be better.

There is no profit in selling grain anymore unless you can ship it in large quantities. However, such a large amount of grain can easily be detected by others, so it is not worth the risk at all.

Zhang Weiguo is not short of money and will not take the risk.

Scar wanted to take the risk, but he had no access to food.

Without channels, you can’t get food. Without food, what can you sell? You can only think about it.

They have many ways, but they can only make small money.

They don't have the ability to make more money.

There is no such resource.

If they could get a lot of meat, they would be rich.

At this time, nothing is more popular than meat.

However, the control over meat is also very strict, and they simply cannot get that much meat.

They were still able to get one or two pigs, but more was impossible.

This is how much money you can make. Even if the price is a bit higher, you can’t make much money because the quantity is too small.

If they could get a few hundred pigs, they could make a fortune.

Now, apart from Zhang Weiguo, no one else has the ability to raise so many pigs.

The daily consumption of these pigs is a huge expense, which is simply not something that ordinary people can afford.

That is to say, Scar made a lot of money when he worked for Zhang Weiguo, otherwise he would not be so comfortable.

Relying on the ticket money, I can only ensure that I will not starve to death.

Ever since I started doing things for Zhang Weiguo, the ticket money has become just a small part of my life.

Zhang Weiguo left the tractor factory and was walking home.

As I was walking, I heard it.

"Stop, give me the buns back."

Zhang Weiguo took a look and saw a little beggar running away with two buns.

The little beggar was so small that he was caught before he had run for long.

Maybe he was too hungry to run and was easily caught up.

Then I saw the person chasing him kick the little beggar down.

But Baozi still held on tightly and refused to let go.

The man became even angrier and kicked several more times.

"Okay, this is one dollar, that's enough for the buns."

Zhang Weiguo just threw a dollar.

When he saw the dollar, the man stopped immediately.

Two buns for one dollar, he made a lot of money.

The man picked up a dollar and left.

"You're lucky. I'll definitely beat you to death next time."

This person uttered a few more harsh words.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Weiguo said.

"Thanks."

The sound is very clear and pleasant.

Zhang Weiguo didn't expect that this was still a little girl.

"Can you get up?"

The little girl tried but couldn't stand up.

When Zhang Weiguo saw that the little girl didn't get up, he went over and picked her up.

Zhang Weiguo felt that this little girl was too light.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back."

The little girl hesitated a little, but still told the place.

Zhang Weiguo went there according to what she said and found that it was a dilapidated small courtyard that had not been inhabited for a long time.
