Zhao Cheng's life became more and more regular. Before going to work every day, he would take a look at the yard and remove some weeds. After get off work, he would clean up some more. After dinner, he would go to the construction site of the Great Hall to help.

In February 1959, Pingping was confirmed to be pregnant again. Zhao Cheng was extremely busy running the whole family, and the Siheyuan family also entered a difficult period at this time.

First, the quantitative reduction of 10%, although it may not seem much, it also reflects that the national harvest is indeed poor. However, this did not have much impact on Zhao Cheng.

Because the food in Zhao Cheng's space was more than enough for his family. Zhao Cheng didn't have any relatives in the countryside who needed help, and most of his friends were in Peking.

However, Zhao Cheng still sent some money and food coupons to his friends from other places, such as Zhou Zhigang. Because the food coupons Zhao Cheng sent were national food coupons, they could also be used in Jichun.

Zhao Zhigang is indeed a good person. After receiving the things sent by Zhao Cheng, he specially sent a lot of mountain products to Zhao Cheng. After all, these things have not been eaten up yet.

As for Zheng Chaoyang, who's far away in Dongguang? Who is that? Does Zhao Cheng know him?

However, Zhao Cheng also called Zheng Chaoyang. Because of Tian Dan, they were not particularly short of food, and there were only four people in Zheng Chaoyang's family, so there was no difficulty.

The courtyard where Zhao Cheng lived was a completely different scene. Not all the people living there had formal jobs, and several of them were temporary workers. Although they had a ration of food, it was not enough to eat, after all, there were people with rural household registration in their families.

Zhao Cheng had no way to deal with such people. He was not worried about the lack of food but the uneven distribution of food. If he helped one family, he had to help all of them. The little food Zhao Cheng had stored was enough for himself to eat. After all, it was all local food. If you eat more, others will eat less. Zhao Cheng did not have large-scale food storage at all.

However, there were two people who came to Zhao Cheng to borrow money, and Zhao Cheng also lent them money. It wasn't much anyway, only three or five yuan, no more than ten yuan at most. Zhao Cheng could still help.

Those who can ask to borrow money, unless there is really no other way, no one would ask to borrow money, it is not easy.

"Director Zhao, you're not even full now, why are you still going to help at the construction site over there?" Yan Fugui asked curiously as he watched Zhao Cheng go out wearing old clothes after dinner.

"Yes, my family has enough to eat now. Besides, building the Great Hall is a big deal. I have been helping for so long, how can I just give up?" Zhao Cheng waved his hand, not caring about Yan Fugui's ridicule.

"Oh, you guys are still the best! I listened to your advice before and used a certain amount of white flour to go to the countryside to exchange for sweet potatoes and taro, so that I could barely eat enough." Yan Fugui was a little depressed.

"Teacher Yan, why are you still planting flowers in this small flower bed at this time? Are you still thinking about exchanging it for money? Why don't you use this small flower bed to plant some pumpkins or something? Use flower pots to plant some leeks, garlic sprouts, etc.? This way you can save on food and have more money to buy food!" Zhao Cheng looked at Yan Fugui who was still fiddling with his flower bed and said with a bit of regret.

After hearing what Zhao Cheng said, Yan Fugui felt like he had been hit by a stick, his head was buzzing. He felt like he had missed out on a lot of small amounts of money.

What Zhao Cheng said was entirely possible. The crops grown in this flower pond could easily feed his family for several meals. Planting some chives and garlic sprouts in the flower pots would also be a good idea. Why hadn't he thought of this before?

"Oh, why was I so confused!" Yan Fugui slapped himself on the mouth and quickly ran back home.

Zhao Cheng shook his head and ignored Yan Fugui, heading straight to the construction site. Learning a craft while working was a great idea, right? Why would he stop?

Unfortunately, Zhao Cheng was destined to have a bad day today. He was picked up by a car just half an hour after arriving at the construction site and went straight to Tian Dan's unit.

"Sister, what are you trying to do? Can we find someone else to give orders? You always come to me when you encounter problems." Zhao Cheng was wearing a dusty work suit. When he arrived at Tian Dan's office, he was too embarrassed to sit on the sofa. He squatted by the door and took out a cigarette to light it.

"Where have you been? Why are you dressed like this?" Tian Dan walked to Zhao Cheng, tugged at his clothes with her fingers, and said with disgust on her face.

"I'm helping out at the construction site of the Great Hall. How can there be no dust? If you have anything to say, tell me right away. I haven't finished my task for today. The progress of the entire team will be delayed without me." Zhao Cheng slapped Tian Dan's hand away in annoyance. It was quite slippery.

"Okay, stop losing your temper. I've got good news for calling you here. We have a batch of obsolete items in our department. Does your police station want them?" Tian Dan said with a smile.

"What is it?" Someone is eager to give him something, Zhao Cheng must want it!

"The two undercover personnel who returned from the island need to be assigned to your unit, and this needs to be kept confidential! Can you do it?" Tian Dan smiled like a fox.

"What the hell? People who were withdrawn from undercover? Why don't you arrange them yourselves? Why arrange them to our office? Besides, it will be in vain if you don't go through our bureau and branch! It's not up to me to decide whether to recruit people!" When Zhao Cheng heard that Tian Dan arranged people for him, he immediately stood up, walked to Tian Dan and asked with his head down.

"You don't have to worry about the bureau, because these two undercover personnel need to be kept confidential, and there are no suitable positions elsewhere. The reason why they are arranged in your office is for you to help investigate and take care of them! Just like the surveillance personnel assigned to your office before, didn't he withdraw after completing the mission? Just treat them as two newly arranged personnel!" Tian Dan didn't dare to look at Zhao Cheng, so she had to sit back behind her desk.

"Then why were they assigned to me? This is just a small police station. Those who were withdrawn from undercover must be of high rank, right? Can they be content to be a small policeman?" Zhao Chengcai didn't believe it.

"What's there to be worried about? After choosing so many, we decided that yours is the most suitable one. The most important thing is that you are one of us, so we can use it with confidence." Tian Dan painted a rosy picture for Zhao Cheng.

"What do you mean, we're one of you? How come I don't know I'm one of you?"

"Oh, you've been one of us since you helped train the action team. We've already reported it to you. Don't worry, it's top secret! Not many people can see it." Tian Dan saw that Zhao Cheng was about to lose his temper, so she quickly tried to calm him down.

"You made me yours without even paying me a salary? Isn't that a bit too overbearing?" Zhao Cheng looked at Tian Dan's smug look and could only squat down again and light up his cigarette.

"Don't worry, these two people won't cause you any trouble. On the contrary, it's a good thing. After all, if they go to your place, your work will be much easier!"

"Okay, okay? When will they report?" Zhao Cheng could only agree. After all, he had to give Tian Dan face, and even more so, teacher Tian Dan. Since Tian Dan had called him over, her teacher must have already coordinated everything. He couldn't refuse.
