"Okay, I've taken note of all this. If you have anything else, just tell us."

Ye Shu watched the two policemen leave, and then he thought of something and said, "Comrade police, I have one more thing to tell you. My mother was beaten to death by enemy spies. They said there was a pension before."

Lin Keke nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Director Fang sacrificed his life to save the leader. There is indeed a pension, and the dean has already paid it out. There is also a job quota. Ye Shu, didn't you get the pension?"

Ye Shu shook his head and said, "It's been such a long time, and no one has told me about this."

"Comrade police officer, can you help me find out what happened to this money? After all, it was earned by my mother with her life."

"Okay, we got it. Just rest and recover. We will catch the murderer as soon as possible."

At this time, Doctor Ding came in and said, "Comrade police, this is Ye Shu's diagnosis report. Hey! This is the breakfast that was delivered. If it was a little later, I'm afraid!"

"This is murder, police comrade, you must catch this murderer. This is such a huge hatred and resentment!"

"Don't worry, we won't let any bad guy go."

After Lin Keke sent the police away, Ye Shu said, "Lao Wang, you should go to work too. I'm awake now, so don't worry."

Wang Aidang thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay. If there's anything, just ask Lin Keke to call the Grain Bureau and tell them they're looking for me."

"Alright, let's go, when did you start to drag your feet?"

"Hey, kid! I won't argue with a patient like you. Smoke sparingly." After saying that, he put the half box of Peony cigarettes and a box of matches in his pocket under Ye Shu's pillow.

When Lin Keke came back again, she held a lunch box and said, "You must be hungry, little brother. This is the millet porridge and eggs I made in the cafeteria. You can't eat anything else now. You can only endure it for a few days."

"Haha, you don't need to tell me this, how could I not know it?!"

"Yeah! I almost forgot that my stinky brother is a doctor."

"Okay, let's eat first. You must be hungry!"

Seeing Ye Shu was about to move, Lin Keke said, "It seems like it's hard for you to even move. Let me feed you!"

Ye Shu could only enjoy Lin Keke feeding him spoonful by spoonful. Looking at Lin Keke swallowing her saliva, he knew that she had not been doing well recently.

Yes, this year is exactly 1960, the era of famine. Food rations were reduced again and again. It was okay for those who did heavy manual labor, but the reduction was even greater for those who did light manual labor.

For a nurse like Lin Keke, she is a light manual laborer. Besides, who doesn’t have a family?

"Coco, now only sick people can buy eggs, right?!"

"Oh! Isn't it true? Now, even if you have money, it's useless. You can't buy anything!"

"People who are really rich can buy food and tickets on the black market, but we can't buy anything with this little money!"

"In the past, a pound of food coupons cost 20 cents, and the black market price was a little higher. Guess how much it is now?"

Ye Shu ate the millet porridge in his mouth and said, "How much? Can you have another piece?"

"Hey, the black market is only 80 cents now! It's really unbearable! How much is a pound of food? The food coupons are more expensive than the food!"

At this time, someone walked in through the door. Ye Shu saw her and quickly called out, "Auntie Zhou, why are you here?"

"Xiao Ye, you're finally awake! If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to Shiqi?"

"It's okay, I just have a cold." Ye Shu saw that Zhou Ruolan looked much more haggard, and it seemed that she had worried about him a lot in the past few days.

"It's just a cold. Don't lie to me! I just came from Doctor Ding's office! I know everything about you. When I get home, I'll talk to your uncle. I want to see if the army will do anything about the martyr's son being killed."

"Aunt, I've called the police. Please don't tell my uncle about this first. Wait until the police can't handle it well, okay?"

"My uncle just got promoted and is very busy now."

Before Ye Shu finished speaking, Zhou Ruolan said, "He is busy. If he continues to be busy, the children of his old friends will be bullied to death."

Ye Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't I call the police? If the police can't handle it, we can talk about it later."

"My uncle is my last trump card. I can't use it until the critical moment."

Zhou Ruolan sighed and said, "You have been sensible since you were young. If it weren't for that incident, you would be a college student now!"

"Remember, we are not outsiders. You and your father who loves the party are friends for life and death. Your mother and I have also been through thick and thin together. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Ye Shu nodded and said, "Aunt Zhou, I know all this. You brought me up, so I know everything."

Fang Shiqi is a battlefield doctor. She is always busy as long as there is a war. Ye Shu follows Zhou Ruolan and studies.

Zhou Ruolan was a teacher. During the war, she taught the common people to read and write. After the rear was stabilized, she taught students in school.

Ye Shu and Wang Aidang skipped grades to junior high school at a young age, and were able to go to college at the age of eighteen.

"By the way, Auntie, aren't you going to work today?"

"Can I not go to work? I asked for leave because I received a call from Doctor Ding!"

"By the way, where is the Party?"

"As for him, I asked him to go back. I can't let him miss work. Now that I'm awake, I'll be discharged from the hospital soon."

"This brat, wait and see how I'll deal with him when I get home. Your mother got him that job by using her connections. How many days did he take care of you? And then he ran away?"

"There's nothing to say between him and me. We're fine. Don't worry about it. If you go back and deal with him as if I were telling tales behind his back, won't that create conflict for our friendship?"

"Okay, I can't say anything more than you. Just lie down here. I'll go buy you some fruit."

"Haha, you see, this has cost you money again. Oh, and don't forget to buy me some canned yellow peaches. They'll help me when I'm sick."

"You kid! You are such a cunning person. I feel relieved when you are like this."

"Coco, I'm sorry to bother you during this time!"

"It's okay, Auntie. This is what I should do. Director Fang is my master!"

After Zhou Ruolan left, Ye Shu said, "I can't eat anymore. If you don't mind, just eat it."

Lin Keke looked at the millet porridge and half an egg in the lunch box and said, "Then eat the egg."

Ye Shu shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. I can't eat anymore. You eat it first."

"After eating, you can go get busy, right?"

Lin Keke thought about it and ate the remaining food for Ye Shu. It was not that she did not want to leave some for Ye Shu. When Ye Shu wanted to eat more, the millet porridge would be cold. She could just go to the cafeteria to get some then.
