Zhang Xudong took the ticket from the little boy and asked doubtfully, "What do you want to sell me?"
"I mean, if I sell me to you, you just need to leave some food for my parents and sister. I can do any kind of work." The little boy said with his head down.
Zhang Xudong was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
"You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve! If I buy you, will I have to support your family of four in the future?
Don't even think about it. I can't afford to be charged with child trafficking. Where are you going?"
"My parents said they would take us to Beidu to find grandma, but we were afraid of being caught and sent back, so we kept hiding from place to place and walked slowly, and ate up all our dry food." The little boy said while wiping his tears.
Zhang Xudong sighed and said, "These food coupons of yours are from your local area. They are useless in Northern Province. I will exchange them for some food coupons from Northern Province. I hope you can find your relatives successfully!"
Zhang Xudong reached into his pocket and pulled out a dozen food coupons from the Northern Province. He counted them and found 9.6 catties of grain. He exchanged them with the boy's food coupons and handed them to him.
After Zhang Xudong handed the ticket to the little boy, he turned around and walked out of the alley without saying anything else.
Zhang Xudong didn't see that after he turned around and left, the little boy bowed deeply to his back and took a long time to stand up straight.
Zhang Xudong's appearance has been deeply engraved in his mind.
Zhang Xudong returned to the cafeteria and sat on a stool. Looking at the noodles that had clumped together, he found it hard to swallow.
"Young comrade, you didn't catch the kid, did you?" the female salesperson behind the counter asked when she saw Zhang Xudong staring at the noodles in a daze.
"No, he ran into the alley." Zhang Xudong replied.
"You're unlucky. You still have to eat your meal. Isn't the result the same whether you're angry or not?" the salesperson kindly advised.
What else could Zhang Xudong do after hearing what the salesperson said? Just eat it. Could he say he just disliked the clumpy noodles?
After finishing a bowl of noodles that tasted only of salt, Zhang Xudong looked at his watch and saw that it was already past one o'clock, so he carried his backpack and walked towards the machinery factory.
"Knock knock" Zhang Xudong knocked on the door of the factory director's office.
Only after hearing the middle-aged man's voice "Come in" from inside did Zhang Xudong push the door and enter the office.
"Uncle Feng, I'm here to see you. I brought you two bottles of wine. Keep them for a drink when you're free."
While greeting Director Feng who was sitting behind the desk, Zhang Xudong took out two bottles of unlabeled wine from his backpack and placed them on the desk.
"You little brat, if your grain certificate wasn't at the factory, would you be willing to come and see me?"
"The factory office has already collected your food coupons for you. You can go to the finance department later to collect our factory's welfare coupons."
"My little sister and I can still receive welfare tickets?"
"Why can't you receive it? As long as you're an employee of our factory and have a collective household registration in our factory, you can get it. What's more, you are the children of martyrs, so you can't be left out."
“I checked, and your mother took away all your welfare tickets for the past two months.
At that time, I was only concerned about preventing your mother from impersonating your food coupons. I only looked at your food coupons and missed the welfare coupons.
I've already told the finance department that from now on, you'll have to collect your benefits yourself. She'll only be able to take advantage of those two months."
After hearing this, Zhang Xudong didn't want to have even the slightest connection with the original owner, his biological mother.
Doesn't she have the slightest concern about the life and death of her children?
Zhang Xudong simply told Director Feng about Li Guizhi's request for a job.
After hearing this, Director Feng slammed the table and cursed Li Guizhi, saying that she was a good-for-nothing who could force her own children to death.
"It's a good thing this relationship is over. Such a vicious woman doesn't deserve to have descendants. Do you want me to help you vent your anger?
Uncle, I told them both to get out, and I won’t let them work as temporary workers anymore.”
"Forget it, Uncle Feng, as long as she doesn't do anything weird again, that's all that's fine.
If she loses her income and can't survive, can I really just ignore it?"
"Well, you're right. Even if we've severed our relationship, she's still your biological mother in name only. It wouldn't be right to watch her die without helping her.
Forget about this awful thing, come and tell me how you achieved such a great achievement. You have really brought honor to our factory this time."
"Uncle Feng, how come you know such a small thing?"
"You little bastard, what's the small matter? Do you know that just because of this incident, the army and local public security were busy for a whole week and basically eliminated all the enemy spies in the northern province.
We also destroyed a lot of black markets and arrested a lot of criminals who were reselling controlled materials. "You still say this is a small matter?"
Zhang Xudong felt scared after hearing this. Fortunately, he was not interested in black market transactions. If he really encountered something on the black market, would his grandfather, whom he had never met, be so angry that he would come back to life?
"Uncle Feng, I really didn't know about this. I thought the operation in the mountains that day was over, but who knew there would be so much more to come."
"You kid, you didn't even tell me about this big thing. It was only when the county magistrate called me in this morning that I found out about it.
The county magistrate said that the prefectural party committee and the military region will jointly issue a commendation to you, and they are now considering how to reward you.
When the commendation order comes, the county will also give you a reward, and our factory will also give you a reward."
"Uncle Feng, look at the current situation. Is it okay for my younger sister and I to still have our household registration at the factory? After all, no one in our family works there anymore."
