Chapter 21 Wang Lin

 But soon Fangyuan found out where the middle-aged woman had taken him, the Qinghe Commune Police Station.

"Auntie, what are you..." Seeing that it was the police station, Fangyuan looked at the middle-aged woman and said.

"Let's go in with me."

Although Fangyuan didn't know why the middle-aged woman brought him here, he knew that it was definitely not a bad thing.

Just as the two of them walked to the door of an office, a young man in uniform came out.

"Is your director here?" the middle-aged woman stopped the young man and asked.

The young man glanced at her and said, "Sister, it's you! The director is in the office, I'll take you there."

"No, I can just go there by myself."

It seems that the middle-aged woman is quite familiar with the police station and knows the director's office.

"Okay then! I'll get busy first."

"Okay, you go."

After the young men in uniform left, the middle-aged woman took Fangyuan to the door of an office and knocked on the door first.

"Come in."

The middle-aged woman pushed the door open, then pulled Fang Yuan in.

There was a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the office. He raised his head when he heard the door opening. When he saw it was a middle-aged woman, he stood up quickly.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I have something to do with you." After saying that, he pushed Fang Yuan out.

"This is..." The middle-aged man, the director, glanced at Fangyuan and asked in confusion.

"This child fled to our place. Now he lives alone in the ruins behind the woolen mill. Your police station can't ignore it, right?"

"Sister-in-law, where are the adults in his family?" The director glanced at Fangyuan and then asked.

"No more."

"Uh!" The police chief was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sister-in-law, our police station can't control this!"

"Why can't you control it? He has no father and mother now, and a child lives in the ruins. Do you have the heart to ignore it?"

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's just that I can't take care of it. As you know, we don't have an orphanage here, so it's not a big deal for you to put him here!"

After hearing what the director said, the middle-aged woman thought about it and said, "What do you think I should do?"

"Sister-in-law, how about this? You take him home first."

"Ah! Shall I take him home? Let me tell you, Director Jin Da, you don't know what's going on in our family, how can I take him back?"

The director walked out from behind the desk, walked to the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister-in-law, I just know what's going on at your home, so I asked you to take her back."

"What do you mean?"

"Sister-in-law, your family now has four people!"

"That's right! It's not like you don't know and you still say this."

"That's right. You are a formal employee of the woolen mill and you work as a grain worker. I think you should know the difference between a family of four and a family of five."

"You mean..."

"That's right!" The director nodded.

There is indeed a difference between a family of four and a family of five, because a family of four can only be considered a small household, while a family of five becomes a large household.

The difference between large households and small households is that except for the proportion of grain and meat based on head, everything else is proportioned according to the size of the household.

For example, burned briquettes, cloth stamps, vegetable stamps, oil stamps, and various kinds of receipts, etc.

"And I'm thinking of a way to go to the city's welfare home to see if I can get anything for your family."

After hearing what the director said, the middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

"Okay, but he..." The director pointed at Fang Yuan.

"I'll take it back first."

From the beginning to the end, no one asked Fangyuan for his opinion, as if his opinion was not important at all, and no one asked him if he was willing.

"Okay, in this way, I will go to the city in a while. If they receive it there, there will be no need."

"Hmm!"

In this way, Fangyuan was taken home by a middle-aged woman, in a two-room small room in the courtyard of the woolen mill.

On the way back, Fangyuan also learned the name of the middle-aged woman. Her name was Wang Lin, and she was a formal employee in the woolen mill.

The two houses are very small. Of course, no matter how small they are, they are still much larger than the place where Fangyuan lives.

One is for cooking, dining and living room, and the other is for living.

The two girls were lying on the table in the living room doing homework. When they saw Wang Lin coming back, they quickly stood up.

"Mom, are you back?" Two girls ran over.

"Well! Where are you doing your homework?"

"Yeah!" The older girl nodded and replied.

The younger girl noticed Fangyuan at this time, raised her head and asked, "Mom, who is this?"

Only then did Wang Lin realize that she didn't know Fangyuan's name, so she asked: "My child, what is your name?"

"Fangyuan."

"Fang Yuan?" Wang Lin looked at Fan Yuan in shock.

"Hmm! What's wrong?" Fangyuan asked after seeing Wang Lin in a daze.

"Your surname is Fang?"

"Yes!" Fang Yuan nodded.

"Hahaha! The surname is Fanghao, the surname is Fanghao."

Wang Lin's words made Fang Yuan confused. He didn't understand what was so good about having the surname Fang.

At this moment, the little girl's words made Fang Yuan seem to understand something.

"Hello Fangyuan, my name is Fang Shuqi."

"Hello!" Fangyuan greeted the little girl Fang Shuqi politely.

"This is my second sister Fang Shuli. My eldest sister has gone to work."

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan glanced at the girl named Fang Shuli, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old.

As for the little girl Fang Shuqi, she looks about the same age as him, probably eight or nine years old.

At this time, Wang Lin said: "Third brother, go do your homework first."

"Oh!" Fang Shuqi nodded, and then went to do her homework.

"Fang Yuan, are you hungry? I'm going to make you something to eat."

Fangyuan didn't react much when she heard about the food, but Fang Shuli and Fang Shuqi's eyes lit up.

"No, I'm not hungry."

What Fangyuan said was definitely the truth. He was indeed not hungry. He had eaten a lot in the morning, and it was still early before noon.

Fangyuan told the truth, but in Wang Lin's opinion, Fangyuan didn't want to trouble him, or she was being modest.

It's a pity that she doesn't know that Fangyuan is not a humble person. If he is hungry, he will definitely say he is hungry.

"Why aren't you hungry? Just wait! It'll be fine in a while."

Yes! In this day and age, how can anyone say that they are not hungry? The person who dares to say that he is not hungry is probably the director of the supply and marketing cooperative!

Even if he is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, he dare not say that he is not hungry. He is joking. How can he eat with only such a small amount of rations every month?

Wang Lin went over to wash her hands and started cooking. She just untied a bag and tied it again. Then she took out a small bag from the cabinet, opened it, and dug out some white flour.

Seeing that Wang Lin was about to use white flour to cook for Fangyuan, Fang Shuli wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and did not say it, but the way she looked at Fangyuan was a little wrong.

Wang Lin made noodles. Not only that, she also added an egg, and the noodles were ready quickly.

After it was done, Wang Lin personally brought it to Fangyuan and said, "Eat it."

"Auntie, you've been working all night, so you should eat!"

"I ate it in the factory, you eat it."

After finishing speaking, Wang Lin said to Fang Shuli and Fang Shuqi: "You two do your homework well. I'll go in and take a nap. Remember, you are not allowed to bully Fang Yuan."

"Oh!" the two of them agreed.

After Wang Lin entered, the two of them stopped doing their homework and ran to Fangyuan. They all drooled at the noodles in Fangyuan's hand.

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

After all, Fang Shuli was older. When she heard Fangyuan ask, she turned her head to the side. Fang Shuqi was about the same age as Fangyuan. When she heard Fangyuan ask, she nodded quickly.

Fangyuan smiled, walked to the Eight Immortals' table with the bowl in hand, put the bowl on the Eight Immortals' table and whispered: "Then you can eat! I won't tell."

Eating a meal of white noodles is nothing for Fangyuan, but it is different for the two of them, because they cannot eat white noodles a few times a month.

Now is the three-year difficult period, and the rations are relatively small. Each person only has two kilograms of white flour, five kilograms of coarse and fine grains, and twenty kilograms of whole grains per month.

Moreover, the whole grains are mainly sweet potatoes. Not to mention full, but simply not enough.

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Fang Shuqi looked up at her second sister, then looked back at Fangyuan and said, "We ate, what did you eat?"

"I'm not hungry."

"But..."

"Don't be a loser. If you lose again, I'll eat it." Fangyuan said with a smile.

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Fang Shuqi quickly put it on the bowl, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Fang Shuli also quickly went over to get a pair of chopsticks and competed with Fang Shuqi to eat.

Seeing them like this, Fangyuan shook her head and said nothing.

A bowl of noodles was finished by the two of them in less than three minutes. You must know that it was freshly made and was still very hot! But even so, the two of them finished it.

Fangyuan stood up, went over to collect the dishes, washed them, and put them away again.

Before noon, Wang Lin got up, of course to cook for Fangyuan and the three of them. Wang Lin worked the night shift and she didn't eat during the day.

The lunch meal was relatively poor, with a few cornmeal pancakes and a few steamed sweet potatoes, which was a complete meal.

To be honest, this is already very good. Even if it is ranked among the families of woolen mills, it is estimated that many families still cannot afford these.

If compared to those ordinary people, I don’t know how many times better it is. Those people who eat from a big pot may not be able to eat so much in a day.

There is no way, there is a shortage of food now! And it is not an ordinary shortage. Workers, peasants and soldiers, workers are ranked first. It can be said that workers are already the best.

Fangyuan didn't pay much attention to eating. He picked up a sweet potato and ate it. After finishing the sweet potato, he ate a pancake. He felt that it was almost done, so he stopped eating.

The two girls ate more than Fangyuan. One of them ate a sweet potato and two pancakes, which was still unsatisfactory.

But they didn't eat anymore because they knew they couldn't eat anymore, otherwise it would be too much. If they eat more this time, they would have to eat less next time.
