In the 1960s, a woman dressed as a man and a general came to give birth to a baby

"Quiet, quiet, now everyone start from the east of the village, one family at a time, everyone must supervise and ensure that all grain, poultry, livestock, and iron products are collected."

After the captain finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Aiguo and said:

"Director Zhou, what do you think?"

"let's start"

As soon as he heard that he had to collect things, Zhou Aiguo became excited.

After saying that, he surrounded the captain and several others and headed towards the east end of the village.

"What is this? Whose house is this? Why is there an extra chicken here? Captain Zhang, you need to educate this team member well. This idea is very problematic! I think we should gather the whole team tomorrow and ask the head of this household to reflect on his mistakes. We can criticize and educate him together so that he can correct his mistakes in time, right, Captain Zhang, haha"

After collecting things from just a few families, Zhou Aiguo discovered something fishy. It was just a chicken, but he took advantage of the situation and made people do a self-criticism.

The subsequent inspection went very smoothly, and some of the team members who were sneaky and cunning actively supported it.

Zhangjia Village is not big, with only about 200 people. But we confiscated all the money in just one morning.

At noon, all the people in Zhangjia Village ate from a big pot. There were steamed buns just out of the oven, stewed chicken and duck. Everyone ate with their stomachs filled and walked holding on to the wall.

In the afternoon, Zhang's mother asked Ma Luoying to go to the town to tell Zhang Yu about the situation in the village and told him not to buy food.

Gongshan Town, Supply and Marketing Cooperative

Miao Xiaoqian, who worked at the grocery counter next door, was very outgoing. Her counter was next to Zhang Yu's, so she started talking to Zhang Yu as soon as she got to work in the morning.

"You must be Zhang Yu, who is taking over Aunt Sun's job. I work at the grocery counter. My name is Miao Xiaoqian, and I'm only a few years older than you. You can just call me Sister Miao."

Zhang Yu looked at the wrinkles on Miao Xiaoqian's face and said with a guilty conscience:

"Sister Miao, yes, I am Grandma Sun's distant granddaughter."

"Hey, everyone knows what's going on. I was hiding it from Sister Miao. Hehe."

"Miao sister, this is what happened. Can I still lie to you?"

"Really? It's all right. I don't mind this job. Don't you think so? Hehe."

When Zhang Yu heard this, he realized that someone was interested in this job.

Zhang Yu took out three cucumbers from the space under the cover of the backpack, handed two to Miao Xiaoqian, and said:

"Miao sister, have a cucumber. I just picked it from my yard this morning."

"Oh, this cucumber is really fresh. Look at my grocery counter. There are no vegetables or eggs. Every day I only have tofu and pastries. Well, you guys are still better off. At least you don't have to worry about vegetables and eggs."

After Miao Xiaoqian finished speaking, she looked into Zhang Yu's backpack.

Zhang Yu understood and wanted to buy something, so he immediately said:

"You don't have to worry about vegetables. I picked some cucumbers and tomatoes this morning. If you want them, I'll give them to you. They're all grown at home."

“Oh, that’s a good feeling.”

As she spoke, she lowered her voice, fearing that someone else would snatch it from her.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu quietly took out five cucumbers and eight tomatoes from his backpack and handed them over.

"Zhang Yu, you are so polite. I am so embarrassed."

Having said that, Miao Xiaoqian did not show any dissatisfaction at all when she took the things, and she even used her body to cover them.

Zhang Yu didn't care. He had just arrived, and it was nice to have someone to give him guidance, even though it was a bit of a small advantage.

"Sister Miao, look at what you said. As soon as I saw you, you seemed so kind to me, just like my own sister."

"Tell me, I see you also feel friendly, haha."

In less than an hour, the two of them became familiar with each other.

Seeing that there were not many people in the morning, Zhang Yu asked Miao Xiaoqian to help keep an eye on things while he went to ask about the dormitory issues.

Miao Xiaoqian agreed immediately and reminded Zhang Yu to remember to say that he was from the sales department.

Zhang Yu came to the logistics department and knocked on the door.

Hearing the word "Come in" coming from inside the door, Zhang Yu pushed the door open and saw two men in the room drinking water and chatting.

Seeing Zhang Yu coming in, a young comrade asked, "Who are you?"

Hearing the question, Zhang Yu replied with a smile:

"Hello, I'm Zhang Yu from the sales department. What are your names?"

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, the young man asked, "Oh, you are from the sales department, do you have a work permit? It looks unfamiliar."

"Yes, look."

As he said that, Zhang Yu handed the ID to the young man.

The young man took it, opened it and saw that he was a formal employee. He handed the certificate to the middle-aged man and introduced:

"Hello, Zhang Yu, right? Hello, this is Wang Guangrong, the director of the logistics department. Director Wang, I'm from the logistics department, my name is Zhao Tian."

As soon as Zhao Tian finished his introduction, Director Wang said to Zhao Tian: "Xiao Zhao, we are all family, please move a seat for our brother Zhang Yu."

Then he said to Zhang Yu, "Zhang Yu, sit down, sit down, sit down and talk. You want a dormitory, right?"

"Thank you, yes, Director Wang"

"I see you don't have a house in town that meets the accommodation criteria. Wait a minute, I'll check."

Director Wang picked up the registration book, pointed to a place and said to Zhang Yu:

"How about 208? In the middle of the second floor, facing the sun. Brother Zhang Yu, what do you think?"

"Director Wang, is this a four-person room?"

"Yes, the other six-person rooms are only this big. This one is missing a corner, but it doesn't affect anything. This room is very popular. What do you think?"

Zhang Yu also knew that the other party had chosen a good one for him, but in order to make it easier for him to work in the space, Zhang Yu still refused. He found a random reason and said:

"Director Wang, do you have a single room? I'm a light sleeper and I can't sleep if there's someone in the room."

"Yes, but they are all on the dark side. You are still young, so you should think carefully. You have chosen it, and you cannot change it unless there are special circumstances."

Director Wang was afraid that Zhang Yu would regret it, so he quickly explained it to him.

"It's okay, Director Wang, which of these is a single room?"

"201 on the second floor, 205 in the middle, and 101 on the first floor. These are all three. Which one do you like?"

The single room is on the shady side and is very small, with only space for a single bed. No one would choose this kind of room unless there is no room left.

"Director Wang, let's go to Room 205."

Seeing that Zhang Yu had made up his mind, Director Wang did not try to persuade him any further. After all, the "good" had already been done, so it was enough to just do the favor.

After choosing the dormitory and receiving the key, Director Wang asked Xiao Zhao to take Zhang Yu to see the dormitory. The dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative was just behind the supply and marketing cooperative building, a small two-story building.

Zhao Tian took Zhang Yu to see the dormitory. On the way, Xiao Zhao kept trying to get close to Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu also wanted to chat with Xiao Zhao.

After a few visits, the two had become friends by the time they arrived at the dormitory.

When I opened the dormitory door, I smelled dust and the furniture was covered with a layer of dirt. It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

There was a bed in the room. Director Wang was right. The bed was stuck between two walls. There was a small window on the north wall, a small table and a chair on the south wall, and a wardrobe against the wall between the table and the bed. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

After reading it, Zhang Yu opened the window for ventilation, locked the door, said hello to Zhao Tian, ​​and then returned to the sales department.

After returning home, Zhang Yu fully implemented his principle of buying for himself. He bought several items on his counter that he thought were necessary, such as body oil, gala oil, towels, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, washbasins, thermos bottles, etc. He even bought the seasonings and the most expensive cakes on Miao Xiaoqian's counter next door.

After lunch at noon, Zhang Yu put all the things he had sold in the dormitory.

In the afternoon, when Ma Luoying arrived, Zhang Yu was lying on the counter, bored.

Seeing Ma Luoying, Zhang Yu was very excited and raised his hand to call her over.

"How did you come?"

"Someone from the team came today to open a big canteen and make steel. In the morning, the team went door to door to collect food, poultry, livestock and iron products. Mother asked you not to buy anything yet."

Seeing that Zhang Yu was fine, Ma Luoying skipped asking him about his health and directly told him what happened in the village.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu felt embarrassed. He bought so many things but forgot to buy food. Fortunately, his beautiful Luo Ying was not here to urge him.

"Oh, wait, I'll go ask for leave,"

Zhang Yu originally planned to take a leave in two days, but he didn't expect Ma Luoying to come today. He thought it was a good opportunity to transfer his household registration and get married at the same time.

When they arrived at the police station, they were received by police officer Xiao Hu, an old acquaintance of theirs. Zhang Yu had all the necessary documents, so Xiao Hu processed them for him quickly.

After that, she very considerately told them to go to the street office to register their household registration and collect their grain and oil certificates. She also told him that if he had a marriage certificate, he could rent a nice house in the town.

After thanking Xiao Hu, Zhang Yu and Ma Luoying went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got their marriage certificate.

Neither of them had ever seen each other before, and they watched for a long time.

After getting the marriage certificate, Zhang Yu and his wife went to the street office again.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a grain and oil certificate. I'm Zhang Yu, a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative. Sister, you can just call me Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Yu said to the aunt with a smile and handed the household registration book to her.

The aunt was very pleased to hear such a handsome man calling her sister, and she spoke much more gently.

"That's no problem." She took a notebook and started filling it out. There was nothing to do in the morning, so the auntie chatted with Zhang Yu while writing.

After completing the grain and oil book, considering that today was already the 20th, the aunt gave Zhang Yu half a month's worth of grain coupons and various receipts.

Zhang Yu complimented and thanked the old lady again, which made the old lady smile happily. She even recommended a slightly better set of clothes to Zhang Yu and his wife.

The old lady also explained: "Young comrade, the good houses are for cadres. This is the best of the remaining houses. It's also close. It depends on your good character. Otherwise, it's not possible."

"Sister, how can I not trust you?" Zhang Yu continued to flatter.

"Let's go and take a look. It's just across the street, so it's quite close." The auntie was decisive in doing things.

When the three of them arrived, Zhang Yu felt that this place looked particularly familiar. He must have been here recently, otherwise, with his reputation for being a directionally challenged person, he would not have recognized it.

Isn't this near the compound where the spies live? He said, how come I saw a flat land?

Then, he felt guilty again, as if he had cheated someone. It was all his fault for having a bad memory. He didn't know what happened to that person. He would help him when he had the chance in the future as compensation.

This is a small courtyard house with a south-facing entrance and only one yard. The house that the aunt pointed out to Zhang Yu was a two-and-a-half-room house on the south side of the courtyard facing east.

Seeing someone coming to see the house, everyone in the courtyard looked over.

The aunt opened the lock and entered the house. She saw that one of the two rooms was quite large and could be easily divided into two small rooms. The outer half was a small kitchen.

There was only a big bed and a big cupboard in each room, and a simple earthen stove in the kitchen, with nothing else.

The aunt said: "This room is not facing the sun, but it has a large space. It is big enough for you to bring your parents over, haha."

Zhang Yu and Ma Luoying looked at each other and both thought it was good, so they didn't bother to choose and chose this one.

Seeing that Zhang Yu trusted her so much, the aunt was very happy. She then registered Zhang Yu and gave him the key.

After thanking the old lady and seeing her off, Zhang Yu pulled Ma Luoying into the house and said:

"Luoying, didn't I tell you that I almost couldn't come back?"

"Well, be careful next time. Don't go to places with few people. It's not safe."

"Well, no, what I want to say is that I found a group of enemy spies. Actually, at first I thought it was dangerous and asked someone else to take the lead. As a result, that person did not cooperate. Then I used a trick to alert the enemy and got them to talk. That person fell into the spy's nest, and then I forgot about it."

The more Zhang Yu spoke, the more guilty he felt, and by the end he was almost silent.

"Xiaoyu, as long as you're okay, okay?"

Ma Luoying is not a kind person. In the past, General Ma was concerned about the safety of the country, but now Ma Luoying is concerned about Zhang Yu's safety, and Zhang's mother is just a by-product.

As soon as Ma Luoying finished speaking, Zhang Yu was deeply moved.

"Shall we go check it out? What if he's okay?"

"I'll go take a look first. I've never been here before, so it's normal for me to go take a look out of curiosity. If you go, it'll be dangerous if you're discovered, um~"

Hearing Zhang Yu's inner uneasiness, Ma Luoying replied lovingly.

"Well, be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you. How about you not go?"

"It's okay, it's daytime now, it's okay"

Ma Luoying knew that if she didn't go, Zhang Yu would not be at ease, and might even feel guilty. She didn't want to make Zhang Yu unhappy.

Ma Luoying arrived there alone and found that it had obviously been tidied up, and there were signs of surveillance all around, just like now, someone was watching him.

Ma Luoying pretended to be watching the fun, but after watching for a while, he returned in disappointment, which made the people who were monitoring him lose the desire to monitor them immediately, because there were too many people like this in the past two days.

After walking for a distance, Ma Luoying suddenly found a group of different people among a group of onlookers. They seemed to have some purpose, so Ma Luoying decided to follow them.

Ma Luoying followed all the way to a remote courtyard, and she found that the security here was very strict.

"Who?"

As he spoke, someone ran towards Ma Luoying.
