Siheyuan: Married Lou Xiao'e at the beginning

Good morning. Since I had said that, I didn’t refuse anymore and told him everything about the other groups.

"Chief, this is what is happening. Some of the ingredients and food in our cafeteria were obtained by Master He Yuzhu."

"You and he are in the same courtyard. Could you please help us find some food? There are 40 or 50 people in our department, and most of the time we don't have enough to eat."

Sun Xiaoshan didn't say anything, just looked at him. At this time, Lao Tian also walked in from outside.

Following him in were the leaders of four other groups.

Old Tian was pushed out by everyone. He said helplessly

"Chief, most of the people in our department live in a slum. They have some skills, so they can have enough food and clothing, but everyone has a family to support, so life is not easy."

"Food is indeed precious now. We know that the supply from above cannot be kept up and the subsidies cannot keep up. We really have no choice but to buy the high-priced food."

Ma Yang, a thin middle-aged man who had always been taciturn, bowed to Sun Xiaoshan before speaking.

"Section Chief, I am not happy with what you said. My family can no longer afford two meals a day. My mother is over 80 years old and she is still lying in bed and dares not eat. She can't bear to leave."

"He said he wanted to leave the food for his grandson, but I really can't do anything about that person. I'm asking Lao Zhao for help. Chief, if you have any way, please help us. You can just ask for us, even if it's just to give us a little hope."

Things have come to this point. If Sun Xiaoshan is still unwilling to help, then he can quit his job as the head of the Logistics Support Department.

"So how many times do you think you need? Let me ask for you."

"But I have to say something ugly up front. You guys better keep this matter to yourself. Otherwise, don't come to me again in the future. And don't tell anyone else that it was He Yuzhu who provided the ingredients for the canteen."

Everyone nodded. As long as Sun Xiaoshan agreed to help them ask, there might be a chance.

The few of them had already figured it out. They didn't need much food, but a bite of food was still food.

A penny can make a hero fall. This saying is absolutely true and applies to any era.

Zhao An lit a cigarette for Sun Xiaoshan and then spoke again.

"Chief, we don't actually need too much. We can survive with just a hundred kilograms of food a month."

In fact, with these more than 100 kilograms, they can only ensure that their families will not go hungry, or in other words, they can only ensure that their families will not starve to death.

But they also knew that more than 100 kilograms was already a lot, because in this era, food was so precious that not everyone could afford it.

"More than 100 kilograms should be no problem. Come to my house after 9 o'clock in the evening when you get off work. I will take you to get some food. Remember not to let too many people know. Just three or five people will be enough."

Everyone thanked him and then left the office to share the good news with the people waiting outside.

Now they don’t have to worry about food problems anymore, at least not this month.

Sun Xiaoshan originally wanted to deliver some melon seeds to Section Chief Xu in the evening, but now he thought better of it.

He had better not get too close to the commander's family. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Lou had just gone out, and he didn't want to attract attention.

He came to Section Chief Xu's office with a bag of more than ten pounds of melon seeds and a bag of fruit.

After making up a random excuse, he left.

It’s no wonder that Section Chief Xu was quite disappointed after he left.

But neither of them showed it too obviously. After all, in this era, the relationship between men and women is still a very sensitive issue.

After returning, he told He Yuzhu about Zhao An and others. After all, He Yuzhu provided food for the canteen.

"Brother Zhuzi, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Otherwise it will be unsafe for us."

If it was before, He Yuzhu might not have understood it, but now He Yuzhu completely believes it.

That's really unsafe, because that's how his leg was injured.

"I understand. I will definitely take care of this matter when I return to the cafeteria."

The two did not say much on this issue. He just told He Yuzhu what he was going to do and asked him to be prepared so that he would not help others foolishly in the future, as that would not be good.

It was just nine o'clock when Zhao An arrived at their courtyard.

"Chief, there are some things happening in the factory and we need you to go back and hold a small meeting."

This was a good excuse, and Sun Xiaoshan was very satisfied. So he left the courtyard in full view of everyone in the compound. This was the first time he went out through the main gate at night.

He brought a few people to a shabby courtyard covered with lush grass, but Zhao An and the others didn't say anything. They just pushed their bicycles and followed Sun Xiaoshan.

Sun Xiaoshan led them to a patch of dense grass. After pushing aside the weeds in front of them, they saw the bags of grain inside.

"Here are 300 kilograms of corn flour. You five can take it back and share it with the people in the department. It should be enough to get through this month."

"Chief, this is too much. We can't take it."

Zhao An originally thought that more than 100 kilograms would be good, but now he was directly given 300 kilograms. This is really a bit too much. Their section chief is not an ordinary person.

"We all do physical work, and only when we are full can we have strength."

"Besides, each of you is the head of the family. Once the family is settled, you can concentrate more on your work."

Sun Xiaoshan still remembered to remind him.

"I still say the same thing. If you run out of food in the future, tell me. But if anyone dares to tell others, don't blame me for not helping you in the future."

Everyone assured that this was their life-saving food, which was related to the lives of their entire family. Even if they had to sell out themselves, they would not sell out their family's chance to survive.

After Zhao An and his companions returned with the food, Sun Xiaoshan went to find Mr. Han, collected the recent items, discussed the next transaction, and then went home.

He was very careful along the way and no one followed him. But when he turned a corner, he saw an acquaintance. He didn't know what she was doing here late at night.

"Teacher Ran, why are you here?"

When she saw Sun Xiaoshan, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but smile, and she didn't even realize that she was smiling.

"Xiaoshan, why are you here?"

She tightened the bag of noodles in her hand, as she was going to deliver the noodles to her second uncle's house.

Their family has three generations of workers, and the family allowance is quite good.

But it was different for his second uncle's family. There was only one worker in his second uncle's family, so there was not enough food at home.

Their family only had some leftovers every month, which they would secretly send to her second uncle's house at night.

Her family was also worried about her being alone, but there was nothing they could do. She was the only one in the family who could go out, because the sight of her parents coming out was too big.
