Chu Heng and Li Fugui discussed the details of the fake marriage at the steel rolling mill, and they were not ready to leave until nearly eleven o'clock.
Originally, Li Fugui wanted to treat him to a meal in the factory's small kitchen, but when he thought of the new chef's cooking skills, which required a lot of effort to raise pigs, he gave up the idea in frustration.
I really can’t handle those bad dishes!
It's better not to embarrass yourself in front of your nephew.
"Don't give it away, it's all my family." Chu Heng pushed Li Fugui back on the chair as he stood up to see him off, and walked out of the office.
After leaving the building, he saw that it was still a while before lunch, so he went straight back to the courtyard.
At this time, Qin Jingru was cooking porridge for the old lady.
There is an old briquette stove covered with mottled stains in the rain shelter outside the door. Firewood is burning in the dusty furnace, and the orange flames are constantly licking a small iron pot on top, and little sparks are flying.
, the water vapor rises, and the faint aroma of porridge spreads.
Qin Jingru was squatting beside the coal stove, holding an aluminum spoon in her hand, carefully stirring the pot of half-dry polenta.
The midday sun shone down, reflecting on her snow-white skin, giving it a misty brilliance as delicate as pearls.
"Crash."
After stirring the porridge a few times, she stood up in a daze, thinking about her future life and how to repay the kindness of these people in the hospital.
She didn't understand the principle of dripping water and springing up, but she knew that a person should not be without conscience.
"Squeak."
The door to Xu Damao's house suddenly opened diagonally, and Lou Xiao'e stepped out of the house in a pair of burgundy leather shoes. She held a bag of grain in her hand and walked straight towards the deaf old lady's house.
Qin Jingru quickly stood up and greeted cautiously: "Sister-in-law."
"Alas." Lou Xiao'e walked forward with a smile, handed her the ten kilograms of stick noodles in her hand, and whispered: "Take this grain, and remember not to make any noise. If my family Damao finds out, he will be unhappy.
Already."
"Thank you...sister-in-law." Qin Jingru looked at the two bags in her hands with a troubled face. She wanted to refuse Lou Xiao'e's kindness, fearing that it would cause the couple to quarrel again because of her, but she couldn't say it.
sentence.
After all, people are poor and have short ambitions.
Seeing her expression, Lou Xiao'e also guessed some of her thoughts, smiled and touched her face, comforting: "Don't think too much, my sister-in-law's family is not short of food, it's just your Damao brother who is stingy, don't let him know
It's okay, go ahead, collect the food quickly and give me the bag."
"Alas." Qin Jingru smiled gratefully and quickly turned around and entered the house.
"Pap tap tap."
At this time, the footsteps of a group of large leather shoes with military hooks came from far and near, and soon they arrived in front of the Moon Gate.
Not many people in the whole courtyard had these shoes, and since they were in the backyard, Lou Xiaoe thought it was her man who suddenly came back. She became panicked and quickly turned around to look over.
I saw a handsome boy walking in from the door, with a straight waist, a sharp face, dark and deep eyes, and an irresistibly seductive aura.
What a big animal!
"What are you doing, sister-in-law?" Chu Heng greeted Lou Xiao'e cheerfully and walked up with big steps.
Lou Xiao'e's eyes suddenly became bright and she unconsciously straightened her chest to make herself look more eye-catching. Then she said with a smile: "It's nothing. I'm chatting with Jingru. Why are you running away at noon?"
Is this coming?”
"I also have something to do with Jingru." Chu Heng had already come closer while he was talking. He glanced at Lou Xiao'e, who was in a slightly weird posture, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Sister-in-law, she looks a little thin?"
This is a judgment from an experienced driver, and the accuracy rate is as high as 99.9%!
"Really?" Lou Xiao'e felt happy that she was being cared for. She touched her round face and said with a smile: "I've been a little angry in the past few days and haven't eaten enough. You are so thoughtful. You can make such changes.
figure it out."
"My eyes are very poisonous." Chu Heng said with confidence.
Qin Jingru happened to hear the noise at this time. She hurriedly ran in from the room, looked at him nervously and expectantly, and greeted: "Brother Hengzi."
"Oh." Chu Heng smiled and waved, turned to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell Jingru, so I won't talk to you for now."
With that said, he walked to the deaf old lady's house and said to Qin Jingru: "You have some clues about your work. Let's go into the house and talk in detail."
Qin Jingru was immediately pleasantly surprised and quickly followed him.
Lou Xiao'e stood there with an empty heart, blinking, took a deep breath, and went home reluctantly.
We finally had a conversation, but we haven’t even finished talking yet, so why did we leave!
It’s true, Jingru, can’t you come out later?
Over here, Chu Heng was already talking to Qin Jingru about how to arrange work for her.
"I found a job for you in the steel rolling mill. It's either a formal job or a temporary job. The monthly salary is 16.4 yuan. But before that, you have to fake a marriage with someone. Then the place will take care of the employees.
I recruited you in the name of my family, and after working for a while, I will get a divorce. Is there no problem on your side?"
Qin Jingru shook her head violently and said mockingly: "No, no, I'm already a divorced person. It doesn't matter if I get divorced again."
"That's it."
Chu Heng smiled and took his bag, pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over: "This is the information about the man. Write this down. After dinner, you can quickly go back to the place of residence.
Open a marriage introduction letter, and we will implement your work in the next few days."
"Thank you, Brother Hengzi." Qin Jingru took the piece of light paper, but it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She held the paper firmly in her hand, lowered her head and looked at the vigorous and neat words on it.
Her eyes began to blur as she looked at it, and salty crystal tears fell from the corners of her eyes, wetting the white paper.
She finally had a way to survive, and she no longer had to worry about tomorrow.
"Why are you crying again?" Chu Heng stretched out his hand to rub her head and comforted her softly: "You should laugh at this time, you know? Live a good life and show it to those who look down on you!
"
"Well, I will definitely live well!" Qin Jingru nodded vigorously, with a smile uglier than crying on her pretty face. Feeling the warmth from the slender hand above her head, she felt that her whole body was full of energy!
"That's right." Chu Heng took back his hand with satisfaction, took out ten yuan and ten kilograms of fine grains, and ten kilograms of coarse grain stamps from his pocket and gave them to her, saying: "Take this, you can eat it later when you go to work."
Everything is useful, if it’s not enough, just tell me.”
Such money and food stamps were a huge sum of money for Qin Jingru. She hurriedly pushed Chu Heng's palm back and said, "Brother Hengzi, I can't take it. I have money myself."
"Just take it, otherwise I will get angry!" Chu Heng put the money note into her hand with a face, and immediately stood up: "You can eat. When you are done, go back and get the certificate. I have to go back to eat.
.”
Qin Jingru quickly stood up and said, "I'll see you off, Brother Hengzi."
Coming out of the house, Chu Heng glanced at the pot on the stove, smelled the strong fragrance of corn, and suddenly realized that he had been negligent.
The couple had lunch at work, but Qin Jingru wanted to eat at the old lady's place, and the old lady couldn't afford the food.
So he hurried back home, took out twenty kilograms of stick noodles, five kilograms of white flour, and five kilograms of rice from the warehouse, and then turned back again with the things.
After all this busy work, by the time he returned to the grain store, it was almost time for lunch break.
At this moment, Miss Ni is chatting with the aunts. After this period of training and learning, she can almost keep up with the aunts who are racing in third gear, and sometimes she can even overtake in corners.
For example, the aunties have to listen with an open mind to her newly learned trick of flying freely.
Seeing that Chu Heng was finally back, Ni Yinghong hurriedly left her aunts behind, walked towards her with small steps, and asked concernedly: "How is it?"
"The work is done. I'll go to the street in the afternoon to try to get the food rationing done." Chu Heng, who was sweating all over, tugged on his collar to dissipate the heat in his clothes and grinned.
He said: "Is the food hot? I ran for half a morning and I'm starving."
"It should be almost done, you go wash your hands first." It was okay if the man was hungry, so Ni Yinghong hurriedly turned back to the back room to serve food to her man.
Since she got married, the focus of her life has been her man, who is her heaven, her land, her everything, and there is no room for any punishment.
Not long after, the couple had lunch.
Chu Heng was really hungry, as if he was reincarnated by a starving ghost. He ate three large steamed buns in one go before he put down his chopsticks. It was not that he was full, but that he was not full. His wife would not starve if she continued to eat.
Ni Yinghong had been married to him for such a long time and had a basic understanding of men. When she saw him like that, she knew he was not full, so she handed the half-laden bun in her hand over and said with a smile: "I can't eat anymore."
, help me eat something."
"You eat what you have." How could Chu Heng not understand what she was thinking? He stretched out his hand to grab her smooth and tender cheeks and said funnyly: "You silly girl, you can't even lie. I don't know what your appetite is."
?Hurry up and eat what you have. I’m going to be hungry in the afternoon, so I’ll buy some sesame seed cakes or something like that.”
"whee."
The exposed girl smiled sweetly at him and continued eating with her head down. She always ate slowly, chewing every bite carefully, as if she was reluctant to swallow it.
Chu Heng looked at his well-behaved and considerate daughter-in-law with great comfort, took out a cigarette and lit one, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart like someone who had experienced it.
You have to cherish this kind of day, otherwise you will be dead when you have children one day. Then all the men who are not men will have to stand aside, and they will be worse than dogs if they don't live well!
After he finished smoking this cigarette, Ni Yinghong also finished eating. Today, she was not in a hurry to clean the lunch box. Instead, she took out a small notebook and handed it to Chu Heng: "You just left this morning and you got a call saying you wanted to buy wine.
, a total of two kilograms, I have written down my name and address, and Aunt Sun and the others also want one penny each. You can go to the street office and go home to pick it up later."
Chu Heng took it and took a look, feeling a little strange: "Hey, what are Aunt Sun and the others doing here? Why did they rush to buy it together?"
"I don't know." Ni Yinghong pursed her rosy and sexy lips, with a hint of shame on her pretty face, and hurriedly took her lunch box and left the office.
She was embarrassed to say that Aunt Sun and the others wanted to try flying freely...
Eh? Does it seem like she is generating income for the family?
Chu Heng didn't want to get to the bottom of it. After writing down the information in his book about the big boss in the patient circle who wanted to buy wine, he packed up his mood and left the food store with a sigh.
These matters in the afternoon were a tough battle for him. He didn't know if he could handle Director Shen Yuqin of the sub-district office. If someone refused to solve Qin Jingru's problem, he would have to think about it.
Other methods will be more troublesome at that time.
After Chu Heng came out of the grain store on his bicycle, he found a deserted place and got in. When he came out again, he already had several gifts in his hand.
Two cans of malted milk, two bottles of canned food, a piece of butter, and a pack of beef jerky were all given to Director Shen.
Although he is now the uncrowned king of this neighborhood, after all, he is asking someone to do something, so he still needs to be polite.
Chu Heng wandered all the way and soon arrived at the street office.
He had to come here several times a month, and he looked very familiar. He smiled and greeted the comrades in the subdistrict office, and strolled to Director Shen's office.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Enter!"
"Director Chu?"
Shen Yuqin couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw that he was actually carrying a gift, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
"I have something to discuss with you." Chu Heng walked to the desk in two steps and sat down. He smiled and put the things in his hands on the table: "A friend of mine gave it to me some time ago. My wife and I can't use these.
I just brought some for you, don’t dislike it.”
Although Director Shen didn't see the butter and dried meat wrapped in horse manure paper, the malted milk was clearly visible. This stuff is very valuable, costing several yuan a jar. She quickly pushed back: "This can't be done. It’s too expensive.”
"Putting it all away, it's all given to me by others, not with money."
"No, no, no."
"Hey, it's boring for you to do this. Take it quickly."
"This... this... you are saying this, how can you be so embarrassed?"
After going through the process of pushing and giving, Director Shen still "reluctantly" accepted it. Driven by curiosity, she gently pulled off the outer packaging of the butter and saw a strange yellow-orange lump inside. He asked curiously: "What is this? What is this?"
"Butter is given to me by my comrades on the grassland. It is extracted from fresh milk. It is the essence of the essence and is particularly nutritious. You can add a little when you scramble eggs or stir-fry vegetables. It will taste better, but you must use it quickly. , The weather is hot now, so I can’t help but let it go." Chu Heng kept insisting, praising how good this thing was.
"Oh oh oh." When Director Shen heard that he was afraid of the heat, he took the things off the table that was exposed to the sun and put them on the ground like a baby. Then he poured a glass of water for Chu Heng, and then asked: "Chu Heng Director, what are you doing here today?"
"Hey, I'm also helping others." Chu Heng sighed softly, took out a cigarette, lit a cigarette, and said, "You must have heard about the incident in our hospital last night, right?"
"In your hospital? Is it because the Jia family's daughter-in-law's sister wants to hang herself?" Director Shen asked.
As the talkative person in this neighborhood, she would definitely be among the first to know about any disturbances on the streets.
"That's what I'm here for today."
Chu Heng showed a look of compassion and said: "What you said happened right in front of our eyes, we can't just ignore it, right?"
Director Shen thought he was coming to her to ask for a scholarship quota, and immediately became embarrassed: "Lier is such a Lier, but she has a rural registered permanent residence and is not from our street. Even if I want to help, there is nothing I can do. "
"You can do it."
Chu Heng had a plan in his heart and said with a smile: "I helped her find a partner in the steel rolling mill this morning. She will get married in a few days, and then she can go to work in the steel rolling mill. The only problem now is food. Can you think of it?" Can't you think of a way to get her a food book?"
"No, aren't you going to create a problem for me? She just married a city dweller, doesn't she still have a rural household registration? How can I get a grain book for her?" Director Shen said with a bitter smile.
