Seeing clearly that it was Chu Qianqian who was outside the door, Yan Fugui's excited tone changed.

"Xiang, Qianqian, are you back from your business trip?"

Chu Qianqian casually placed the bag on the ground, took out the box from his pocket, and placed it at the big front door of the warehouse.

After sending one over, he smiled and said, "Yes, I've been on a business trip for more than two months and I'm finally back."

Yan Fugui pinned the cigarette to his ear, leaned down and helped Chu Qianqian lift the bag, while holding Chu Qianqian's arm with his other hand.

As he walked in, he shouted to the opposite room on the right, "Aiyuan, don't sleep now, your brother is back."

Not to mention Chu Aiyuan and the residents in the front yard, even the people in the middle yard were alarmed by this voice.

After a while, I saw that all the lights in the front yard were on, and Aiyuan was also wearing a coat. He hurriedly opened the door and saw Chu Qianqian standing in the yard, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother", Aiyuan got excited and rushed over, hugging Chu Qianqian tightly and sobbing.

"Okay, okay." Chu Qianqian hurriedly patted Aiyuan on the back, "Why are you crying? I'm on a business trip."

Aiyuan didn't care about that, and said with a tearful tone, "Who asked you to not even send back a letter for more than two months?"

When the neighbor in the front yard heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Ai Yuan embarrassedly left Chu Qianqian's arms, but a pair of hands kept holding Chu Qianqian's arms.

Chu Xiangqian ignored her and took out the front door to smoke one by one.

After a while, when Yan Jiefang ran out, he started crying and wanted to rush over.

Chu stepped forward and held down the boy's head, then hit him on the head with a brain pop.

"How old are you and you still have cat urine?"

Yan Jiefang rubbed his head in embarrassment and said sheepishly, "Brother, if you don't come back, Guangtian and I will soon be blamed to death by our colleagues on the street."

Chu Qianqian laughed. After two months of absence, there was no big fish on the street, and there were 30 kilograms of game and chestnuts every month.

It is inevitable to say a few words of complaint.

"Okay, after I finish my business in the capital, I will take you and Guangtian to go fishing and take a look at the mountains. But don't have too much hope.

After all, the dried fish, dried meat and chestnuts in the hands of people in the mountains are also life-saving rations."

Yan Jiefang nodded silently, and others in the yard also sighed.

Last month, each household's food ration was reduced by 2 kilograms per person. Although they were not hungry to death, they were indeed not full.

As for the 2 taels of meat tickets every month, although the tickets are still issued and can be used by the sales agency, the vegetable market is often sold out within half an hour of opening.

Some people are even willing to take meat tickets to buy bones.

But even so, most people still can’t buy tickets even if they have them.

If this were the case in the first half of last year, anyone who did this would definitely be called a fool.

So everyone didn’t think there was any problem with Chu Xiangqian’s words.

Fortunately, the people in the middle courtyard and the backyard had already gone out to the front yard, and there was a lot of excitement again. Yan Fugui and others were not embarrassed to ask Chu Xiangqian for help in getting some chestnuts.

When the elder saw Chu Xiangqian standing well in the front yard, although the smile on his face was kind, he sighed in his heart.

On the one hand, I don’t want Chu Xiangqiang, a thorn in my side, to come back, but on the other hand, I think that after Chu Xiangqiang comes back, he will be able to help the neighbors in the yard and get some food.

Except that the old man is really worried that someone will starve to death, and he is actually not that bad, he still has the compassion he deserves.

Secondly, there are already people asking for help in the yard. One can borrow a few kilograms, and the other can borrow some money. The first and second uncles, the two highest-paid men, can hardly bear it.

But as soon as Chu Chu came back, he told everyone not to have high hopes, which was equivalent to blocking this road.

When Aiguo and Aimin saw Chu Xiangqian, they rushed over in tears, but were stopped by Chu Xiangqian one by one.

"I'm not going to fight. I'm just on a business trip for two months. If you cry again, I'll slap you both."

Patriotism and love for the people were beaten, but he laughed when he was scolded. He picked up Chu Xiangqian's handbag and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go make your bed."

Aiyuan hurriedly followed him into the east wing, lest he be patriotic and patriotic and care for the people, so he could not even make a bed.

Chu Qianqian saw the middle courtyard, and people from the backyard came over one after another. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, why don't we just wake up and hold a short hospital-wide meeting?

So as not to wake up other people, and if we all sit together, we can ask whatever we want, so we can go home and rest early."

When everyone heard it, they felt it made sense.

They each went home to get their benches. Chu Xiangqian also went back to the east wing and changed all the coats and suits underneath.

Wearing a Chinese tunic suit and carrying a bag of red dates, he came to the central courtyard.

At this time, let alone the little baby, even the deaf old lady was sitting under the eaves of the main house of the fool's house, looking at him with a smile.

When Shazhu and Xu Damao saw him entering the middle courtyard, they quickly stood up and came over to greet him.

After another polite conversation and lighting a cigarette, Chu Qianqian glanced at Liu Guangtian, who was looking excited, waved to him, took out a packet of big Qianmen, "Here's something for everyone."

Liu Guangtian was overjoyed, and he was so busy that he noticed one after another.

Chu Xiangqian handed the red dates to Yan Jiefang again. Now the women and children were happy and thanked him again and again.

Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu stared at him.

Fortunately, the others were similar. Even He Yuyu blushed and stared blankly at Chu Qianqian while eating red dates.

After struggling for a while, Chu Xiangqian told everyone that he was disciplined or needed to keep it secret. Finally, no one was curious about where he had been on a business trip in the past two months.

Seeing that it was almost done, Chu Qianqian planned to go home and sleep, but the uncle coughed and said, "Qianqian, you just came back, so you shouldn't bother me. But life is really difficult for you guys now.

I want to ask you to think of a way to bring back some food.

Of course, we also know that it may be more difficult in the mountains. Whether it is possible or not, please feel free to ask."

As soon as this was said, everyone else echoed.

Chu Qianqian went to Hong Kong Island and his mentality changed, but he still didn't want to deal with this troublesome matter.

Of course, if someone really can't survive, let's talk about it separately.

But I have to put it mildly, "Okay, I will report the work matters to the leader in the past two days. After the handover is clear, I will go back to the forest farm to pay homage to my father.

I visited my second and third uncles and went into the mountains to ask questions.

However, as I said just now, don’t put too much hope in this matter.

There is still a fixed amount of food to eat in the city, but some people in the mountains may have run out of food long ago and rely entirely on fruits, chestnuts and the like.

And everyone who knows it knows that March is the most difficult time in the mountains.

Wild fruits and other things have just begun to produce green fruits, let alone other things that bear fruit, the flowers may not have bloomed."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing the depressed expressions of the guys, Chu Qianqian thought for a while and said, "Well, there really isn't anything in the mountains. I'll take a few young men to find a place to try fishing.

No matter how much they can catch, every household can just drink some fish soup to get some nutrition."

This time the big guy thanked him profusely. Chu Qianqian was always cautious, and he put away his smile and reminded, "If you catch fish, you have to find a place to do it. After all, no matter how talented I am, I can only take care of our yard.

If word spreads outside the yard, then I will have no choice but to stop fishing. To prevent others from being too hungry, I will do anything."

Everyone was secretly shocked, and while nodding in agreement, they kept looking at the people around them.

The uncle knocked on the table with the teapot and said seriously, "Qiang Xiang is right. It's already very troublesome for him to help our yard fish alone.

If we find out who is gossiping outside, the second uncle, third uncle, I and I will make the decision to drive the person out of this yard."

"Yes, this kind of people are pests and must be driven out."

Soon the yard reached a consensus. As for how to cook fish, people these days know how to cover up the smell of meat cooking at home.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian feel relieved, and he called them by name, "Then Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian, Jiang Erleng, and the boy from the Zhao family will come out with me."

"Wait a minute," Xu Damao was not willing to let go of this opportunity, and said hurriedly, "Go forward, I can follow you and still have my bicycle.

If you are lucky, you will catch several fish in the morning.

I brought it back first on my bicycle, so as not to arouse suspicion when everyone comes back together with a lot of fish."

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to waste time with Xu Damao, so he nodded in agreement, then looked at Silly and said, "Zhuzi, you also ask someone to ask and get an extra bicycle.

To avoid wasting time just walking for half a day."

Silly Zhu nodded hurriedly, and the elder thought for a while, "I'd better find someone to borrow one."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Second uncle, you also have to ask, one more car can save a lot of effort.

Otherwise, they will be rushing forward and fishing, and if they are too tired, their roots will be damaged."

How can Liu Haizhong lag behind Yi Zhonghai in this kind of limelight thing?

He nodded in agreement, "If Lao Yi doesn't tell me, I will find someone to borrow one tomorrow. It's just a pity that it's hard to get a bicycle ticket, otherwise I would have wanted to buy one."

When Chu Qianqian saw Liu Haizhong looking at him, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy and winked at Liu Haizhong.

Since this old boy is rich, I must sell him a bicycle ticket.

Moreover, Liu Haizhong gave him a lot of copper coins last time, so it would be beneficial to him to use them to pay off.
