Chapter 71 A pack of hungry wolves(1/2)
"Ah! This..."
"Okay, how can you, a grown man, act like a mother-in-law?"
After Wang Lin finished speaking, she turned back to Yuan Yuan and said: "Son, find something to decorate the buns and let your Uncle Jin take it back."
"Okay!" Fangyuan didn't care, and he didn't care much about things.
Fangyuan found a larger piece of yellow paper. This was not the kind used for writing, but the thicker kind used to wrap snacks.
I quickly packed up a big bag, almost a dozen of them, and handed them to my mother.
After my mother took it, she handed the paper bag to Director Jin and said, "Take it back and give it to the children to try."
"Sister-in-law, this..."
"Okay, let's go back quickly, it's getting late."
"Well! Then sister-in-law, we are going back."
"Go back!"
For Wang Lin, she is also very happy today. Director Jin, a professional, can give her answers and relieve her of her troubles. A little food is nothing.
Watching Director Jin leave, Wang Lin turned back to Yuan Yuan and the others and said, "Go and wash up and sleep."
"Oh! Okay."
Fangyuan and her two sisters hurriedly ran to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and by this time the eldest sister had already finished cleaning up.
While resting at Fangyuan's house, Director Jin also took Jin Wenli back home.
His lover had not rested yet and was still waiting for him to come back. When he saw Director Jin carrying things back, his lover asked: "What's going on? Why are you carrying things back again?"
"Not only did I carry it back, but I also got a lot of stuff." Director Jin smiled bitterly.
"Ah! What's going on?"
"Okay, I'll tell you later. I'll give this to you, and you can warm up two for your parents." Director Jin handed the paper bag to his lover and said.
"What is this?"
"You'll know if you open it and take a look."
At this time, Jin Wenli shouted: "Mom, these are steamed buns, they are particularly delicious."
When the little girl yelled like this, it was like poking a hornet's nest, and five or six half-grown men ran out of the room.
The older one was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one was seven or eight years old. They all stared at the paper package in their mother's hand.
"No need to give it to us, give it to the children!" an old man's voice said from the back room.
That's how old people are, even if they don't eat it themselves, they still want their children to eat it.
Looking at his sons, Director Jin also had a headache! Looking at them all like hungry wolves, what else could he say?
"Let's do this, heat four of them, one for my parents, one for each of them, and the rest will be eaten tomorrow."
"Yeah! I'll go right away."
"No, we're not hungry, let's give it to the children!" said an older female voice.
"Mom, it's okay. I brought back a lot. You only had a few mouthfuls of porridge tonight."
Director Jin has no choice! Although he is the director of the police station, he is only the director of a commune, and this commune is still full of farmers.
If he were the director in the city, he would definitely not be like this. At least he would be much stronger than he is now.
Also, there are eleven people in this family, and he is the only one who can support them. Although everyone has a ration, what is that ration enough for?
As the saying goes, a young man eats a poor man, and everyone is growing up. Fortunately, he often eats in the house, otherwise the rations at home would not be enough.
In fact, their family is already very good. At least it is much better than the average family. This is so much better than this. You can imagine what families who are not as good as theirs are like.
The buns were quickly heated up. Director Jin's lover took out the buns and broke each bun in half, one for each child.
Several children took it and stuffed it into their mouths in three or two gulps. They swallowed it without even chewing it.
"Okay, let's go back to bed." Director Jin shouted when he saw his sons still staring at the paper bags after eating.
These half-grown men then returned to the house, and at this time, Director Jin's lover entered another room with a bun.
Of course it was given to the two old people, but Director Jin and his wife didn't even taste it, let alone eat it.
Director Jin's lover quickly came out of the room and asked, "What's going on?"
"That's it. Do you remember the little guy who delivered food to our family?" Director Jin asked.
"Of course I remember, that child's eyes are so darting that he is a smart kid at first glance."
Hearing what his lover said, Director Jin smiled bitterly and said, "He's more than just a smart boy! He got all this food."
"Ah! This...how is this possible!"
"Is there anything impossible? Let me tell you, these..." Director Jin told his lover again about how Fangyuan obtained food from the city.
Of course, what he said was what Wang Lin said. What Wang Lin said was unclear, and what he said was even less clear.
But even so, his lover was dumbfounded, just like when he first learned about it.
"So the situation at Sister Wang's family is much better now?"
"Not only is it much better, it's so good that people can't believe it." Director Jin said with emotion.
"That's good. It will save you the trouble of thinking about it every day."
"Yes! I haven't been able to help at all these years. I always feel guilty and sorry for Lao Fang."
"Okay, didn't you help their family find a son? And he's a capable son."
"That's right! This can be regarded as me helping their family."
The words of love made Director Jin feel much better, but that’s right! If it weren’t for Director Jin, Fangyuan wouldn’t have become a member of this family.
If you cannot become a member of this family, then this family will remain the same as before.
It can be said that this home has changed a lot since Fangyuan came to this home, and Wang Lin no longer needs to work the night shift.
When the three sisters went out, their backs became much stronger. No one said that their family only had daughters and no sons.
There is also the quality of life, which is now many times better than before. Although I sometimes eat steamed buns, I can always improve my food.
Unlike before, in addition to steamed buns and steamed buns every day, the most is steamed buns with a little white flour in them.
It was even said that before Fangyuan came into this house, they rarely ate food at home, and the most they had was pickles and lumps.
Now! Basically, there are vegetables for every meal. Although they are all cabbage and radishes, they are better than nothing. Of course, these are mainly the only vegetables in the imperial capital in winter.
Originally there were potatoes, but the land is now classified as coarse grains, and it can no longer be said to be vegetables, but grain.
There is no way, who made food shortage everywhere now!
After dinner the next morning, my mother and eldest sister went to work, the second sister and the third sister also went to school, leaving Fangyuan alone at home.
Fangyuan packed up, slung her schoolbag and water bottle on both sides of her body, and prepared to lock the door and go out.
"Brother Fangyuan."
Just as Fangyuan closed the door and locked it, a voice sounded behind him.
Fangyuan looked back and asked in surprise: "Why are you here? Who are you here with?"
Hearing Fangyuan's question, the little girl quickly lowered her head and held the corners of her clothes with her two little hands.
The person who came was none other than the little girl Jin Wenli, and judging from her appearance, she probably came here alone.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten." The little girl whispered.
Fangyuan shook his head, opened the door again, went in and took two buns, wrapped them in paper, and came out of the room again.
He locked the door first, then pulled the little girl out and asked, "Did you tell your uncle or aunt when you came over?"
"No." The little girl shook her head quickly.
"You..." Fangyuan didn't know what to say to this girl, she really ran out alone.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Hearing Fangyuan say that he wanted to send her home, the little girl quickly let go of Fangyuan's hand and said, "Brother Fangyuan, I came to play with you. I'm not going home now."
"That's okay. You ran away secretly. Do you know how anxious your parents are now?" After finishing speaking, Fangyuan took the little girl's hand. He was afraid that the little girl would run away.
He was a little overly worried, because the little girl didn't struggle this time and was just dragged away by him. Maybe it was Fangyuan's words about how anxious your parents were that played a role.
"Let's do this. Next time you come to play with me, you must tell your family. Then I won't send you back."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the little girl's eyes lit up and asked: "Brother Fangyuan, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, why did I lie to you."
"Yeah! I believe Brother Fangyuan won't lie to me." The little girl nodded quickly.
Fangyuan did not take the little girl to walk inside the woolen mill, but planned to go around in a circle. He had no choice but to hold a bun in his hand, and this bun was just for the little girl to eat.
