Chapter 38: Delivering Food
Because Qin Qing was thinking about her daughter, he was a little absent-minded these past two days.
But the boy went out early and came back late every day, so she didn't see anyone. Instead, she discovered another person.
It turned out that her family had already started eating two meals a day. Except for her, who ate dry rice for free and had a pancake every morning, everyone else had an empty stomach.
I had to wait until noon to eat.
No wonder Goudan and his brother have become so pale and sallow recently, and even stagger when they walk. After Qin Qingyu's repeated questioning, Shitou finally told the truth.
That's the situation at home.
Even if there was more food, Zhu Lihua would not let her children starve.
The bottom of the tank is getting shallower and shallower.
Qin Qing decided to take a risk.
He took his own small treasury and asked Shen Kuo to help him exchange some food. In fact, he could exchange the food on the black market, but after it went through Shen Kuo's hands, the origin of the food was much easier to explain.
He is also a straightforward person.
I bought the cashmere sweater that Qin Qing brought with her, solving her urgent need.
I only spent ten yuan and bought her fifty kilograms of cornmeal and ten kilograms of pure flour.
Qin Qing stared in amazement at the two bags of grain piled on the bicycle.
"So much? Brother Shen, you're not secretly subsidizing me, are you?"
Shen Kuo wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This is still the high price of grain." If I had a ticket, I could probably buy more.
Qin Qing smacked his lips in surprise, gaining a new understanding of current commodity prices.
At the same time, he also looked at Shen Kuo with a different eye for him because he was willing to spend dozens of dollars to buy cashmere clothes.
Shen Kuo laughed to himself, "What's that look in your eyes? Come, I'll give you a ride!"
He patted the back seat of the car.
Qin Qing jumped into the car with a look of fear on his face.
She clung to the back seat of the car with her hands and reminded him, "Brother Shen, you haven't forgotten what to say later, have you?"
"I know." He said that it was the father's fault that the two sons were not treated equally.
The little girl was the same. She took risks every time she sold things on the black market and had to rack her brains to come up with excuses.
Can't you just say that these things were given to me by the old lady?
But the little girl told him not to tell anyone, because there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and only by hiding it from her parents can she hide it from her aunt's family.
No, the old lady has a headache.
He has to be the good guy.
…
It was just time to get off work, and Zhu Lihua was looking out the door. Her daughter should have come by this time in the past, but she still hadn't seen her, and she couldn't help but get anxious.
Suddenly, a strange face appeared in her sight. Zhu Lihua glanced at it without paying any attention.
Until the man parked the car in front of her steadily and greeted her with a smile, "Auntie~"
Then she saw her longed-for daughter jumping down from the back seat of the car, and the young man stepped forward to help unload the two bags of food.
"This is?"
"Mom! This is the Shen Kuo I told you about, Brother Shen. He was the one who delivered these two bags of grain." Qin Qing introduced with a smile.
Zhu Lihua pulled her little daughter over and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Shen Kuo moved the food into the yard immediately, and Qin Qing pulled Zhu Lihua into the house.
"Shen Kuo, right? Times are different now than before. How can we have the nerve to accept your grain." The young man in front of him was different from the silly man in his family who only knew how to read. He exuded a shrewd and hardworking spirit, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not the kind of person who would dig for food in the fields.
Even so, she didn't want to receive favors for nothing.
Shen Kuo explained, "Aunt, we are a family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. You know that Qingqing saved my grandma." Seeing Zhu Lihua nodded, he continued.
"She has been very kind to my family. No one would object even if we gave her all our food. So please be sure to accept this little gift!"
A man's words are sincere and caring.
Zhu Lihua's heart was shaken by what she heard.
She knew what these things meant.
But sanity is still there.
Seeing this, Shen Kuo said seriously, "Aunt, do you think I brought too little? I'll bring two more bags right away."
