The old lady's surname was Chen. Old Mrs. Chen and Old Mr. Chen, along with their daughter-in-law and two grandsons, lived in a tube-shaped building in a quadrangle courtyard.
Life was difficult before. The daughter-in-law had no job, and they were both old, so they lived on a little food supply.
But the two grandsons were getting older and needed more and more food, and the little food they were supplied with was not enough to fill their stomachs.
Old Mrs. Chen and Old Mr. Chen discussed it and decided to exchange the old items they had hidden for some food so that their two grandsons and daughter-in-law could eat better.
At that time, I happened to meet Li Jinfeng.
"Aunt Chen, your son..."
"My son is back! His company has allocated him a new house and arranged a new job for him. Even my daughter-in-law's job has been found! Our whole family has moved."
Aunt Chen didn't say what her son did, she just said that life was better now.
Although we still don’t have enough to eat, at least we don’t have to go hungry as a family like we did during the most difficult times.
"Congratulations!" Li Jinfeng said to the old lady.
"Girl, thank you anyway!"
During that period, Aunt Chen's family could barely make ends meet.
The food supply was delayed in arriving.
If it weren't for Li Jinfeng, their whole family might have starved to death.
Li Jinfeng felt a little unworthy of the old lady's gratitude.
She didn't give things for free either, she also accepted things from the old lady.
"Auntie Chen, why are you here..."
Li Jinfeng had actually guessed that the old lady went to the night market to do business.
But just now I heard from the old lady that the situation at home has improved.
"My son just came back. He was injured and lost an arm. I wanted to try my luck and see if I could get him some delicious food to nourish him. Today is the Little New Year."
No matter how old the child is, he is still a child in my mind.
I always want to leave the best for my children.
After the old lady said this, Li Jinfeng roughly guessed what her son did.
In peacetime, someone who could sustain such a serious injury and return so suddenly could only...
Thinking of this, Li Jinfeng immediately spoke up, "Auntie Chen, I have some pork belly and ribs. Do you want some? I also have some fine grains, but not much. I'll give you 15 pounds at most."
After hearing what Li Jinfeng said, the old lady burst into tears and nodded repeatedly, "I want...I want them all! But girl, I only brought money with me today. Do you want money? Otherwise, wait for me, I...I'll go back and get you something."
The old lady still had some small gold bars in her hands.
If she could buy some nutritional supplements for her son, she would be willing to do so.
"No need, just money is enough." Li Jinfeng said.
“Pork belly and spare ribs…”
"Two yuan a pound. I can only get you five pounds at most."
Although two yuan is more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Jinfeng has already lowered the price to the lowest.
If it were cheaper, I'm afraid the old lady wouldn't want it.
"Two...two pieces?" The old lady could hardly believe what she heard.
"That's right! Auntie, please find a place to wait for me for a while, I will go to get it from my friends. Also... meat and ribs are not easy to get, I hope you can keep it a secret for me and not tell anyone." Li Jinfeng said.
Actually, she had nothing to be afraid of.
Later, she would find a place where no one was around, take off the dirt on her clothes and face, and when she came out, no one would recognize her.
