The old Chinese medicine doctor was at his wit's end. He couldn't buy any grain from the supply and marketing cooperative in the small town day after day. His old bones and his grandson couldn't take it anymore. So, he rashly asked a girl he had only met twice for help...
Even an old man like him blushed, and could barely speak.
He used to be a tough guy who would never ask for favors like this, but now what does his pride matter? Thinking of his grandson's suffering from hunger, he had no choice but to take the gamble.
He grabbed the food coupons from his pocket and shoved them into Fan Xiaofan's hand: "Could you help me find a way to get food? Consider this a small token of my appreciation..."
He wasn't stupid. Last time, Fan Xiaofan looked like a beggar, but this time the siblings came clean and in good spirits, not at all like they were starving. Perhaps he could find some connections.
Fan Xiaofan frowned and refused. The old Chinese medicine doctor slumped down, his arms hanging limply. Had he really been rejected?
That's the same situation. Where can we easily handle it now?
He put people in a difficult position.
But then, Fan Xiaofan's words made him look up in disbelief. The girl in front of him said, "I have some news. The supply and marketing cooperative will be sending grain in a few days. Remember to line up early to get your grain ration book and wait. Don't always think about buying and selling privately; it's too dangerous."
Recalling his harrowing experience in the black market, Fan Xiaofan felt he never wanted to experience it again in his life.
She learned of this from President Xu. She suggested that Factory Director Fang oppose the sale of the blueprints. Factory Director Fang reported it, and President Xu then reported it to higher authorities.
When President Xu asked her what reward she wanted when he made the suggestion, she mentioned the matter of securing food supplies.
There's so little she can do now; perhaps it would be good if fewer people starved to death.

When Fan Xiaofan was walking back to the factory dormitory from the hospital, her sister-in-law, who had been very hospitable to her before, hurriedly grabbed her child and slammed the door shut in front of her.
She was startled and instinctively patted her heart. Wow, life here is always so exciting.
However, she quickly realized why her sister-in-law was behaving this way. The door to her room was open, and the room was littered with belongings scattered on the floor, clearly indicating that it had been ransacked.
It's obvious someone barged in and was showing off their power.
Fan Xiaofan was furious and took Fu Weidong's hand to find Factory Director Fang. Factory Director Fang had thought that it would work since Fan Xiaofan had proposed the idea of reversing the sale of blueprints yesterday. He directly called President Xu to discuss it, and President Xu agreed. He even praised Xiaofan for being a comrade with good intentions.
Despite making such a significant contribution, he didn't think about seeking personal gain; instead, he was thinking about securing food supplies for the small town.
Upon hearing that something had happened to Fan Xiaofan, Factory Director Fang naturally took it very seriously and rushed over personally. Seeing the house smashed to pieces, his face darkened.
When Director Fang, who had been watching from the corridor, arrived, he knew that this matter was likely to escalate.
Indeed, these are President Xu's relatives. However, the ones causing trouble are the deputy factory director's family members, so they are caught in a dilemma. What can they do?
When the Kings of Hell fight, the little devils suffer.
When Director Fang's face darkened, it was quite frightening. He used to always have a smiling expression, but now, people present couldn't help but stop chattering.
"Tell me, who did this?"
The little girl who had snatched a steamed bun from Fan Xiaofan was about to step out when her mother pulled her back.
