Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 14 Relief
They are all children, look at the stick.

They are all old people, look at Jia Zhang again.

There is really no comparison between people!
Niu Niu was eating creamy popsicles beautifully, and the aunt saw that Comrade Xiao Du came back with an empty basin after going to the police station, so she understood everything.

The aunt doesn't know what to say at this meeting, but her eyes are red, it has probably been a long time since no one has treated them so well.

"Ma'am, tell me, what's going on at home?"

The aunt's surname is Zuo, she belongs to the Zuo Family Commune, she is 54 years old this year, her wife passed away long ago, and she had a son who went to the city to sell grain in the turbulent times and never came back.

She is the only one left in the family. Niuniu is the child she picked up on the side of the road 8 years ago. A few years ago in the countryside, it was very common for baby girls to be abandoned.

Auntie got sick a few years ago, and she couldn't do heavy work after that. Now in the countryside, Aunt Zuo earns 3 work points a day alone, and she can't live with Niuniu.

Later, the old secretary of the commune saw her and Niu Niu really pitiful, and helped her find a poor household. In summer, she could earn more than 1 cents a day by selling popsicles. Working for 4 months in a summer, she could earn 10 cents. A few yuan, plus the usual work points, can barely survive.

Aunt Zuo said: "I will stick to it for a few more years. When Niuniu is ten years old, she will be able to count as three work points, and then she will stop selling popsicles."

Unable to do heavy work, and dragging a 30-jin iron box to walk more than 30 kilometers every day, this is really exchanging life for money, and then continuing to live!

"Ma'am, my name is Du Weiguo, and I work in the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant. You sell popsicles for less than 20 yuan this year. I will pay for the money, so don't worry about it. When Niuniu can earn work points in the future, besides, you Can you see it?"

"This, this is not acceptable, Comrade Xiao Du, how can we ask for your money for no reason?"

"Auntie, it's not for nothing. I like Niu Niu very much. This child is obedient and sensible. I can help out as much as I can."

When Du Weiguo saw a little girl who was about the same age as his sister suffer, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Comrade Xiao Du, you, we are old and young, we have always been a burden, when will you help me?"

"Hey, ma'am, don't worry about it. I'm a cadre with a high salary, and I can feed the whole family by myself. Besides, I just help you and Niuniu as much as I can. When she gets older, she can earn work points. I don't care."

Aunt Zuo burst into tears and said to the little girl.

"Niuniu, hurry up and kowtow to your benefactor, he will be my family's benefactor from now on."

The aunt was already crying so much, how could she not understand, Xiao Du was not just helping them, but controlling them.

Once she is gone, Niuniu will finally have someone to rely on
Niu Niu is very sensible, and she has already understood that when she was young, no one has treated her well except her grandma since she was a child.

She was supposed to be carefree at an age, but she had suffered enough, and also tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships. The children in the village called her a wild species and threw clods at her.

To her, Comrade Xiao Du was like a god coming down to earth, the kind whose whole body would shine.

Just as Niuniu was about to kneel down, Xiao Du pulled her up and rubbed her little head.

"Niu Niu, no one will dare to bully you anymore, except for your grandma, the heavenly king and I will not kneel."

"Will you really care about me in the future?"

"Yes, Niuniu, I'll go home with you in a while, and I'll see who dares to bully you in the future!"

"Okay, Niuniu is good, you can't let me go."

Aunt Zuo couldn't cry anymore, she squatted on the ground and cried loudly, and Niuniu cried with her.

After a while, Xiao Du said: "Mother, it's still early, let's hurry up and return the box to the street, and then I'll make a new dress for Niuniu, this girl can't show her ass ah!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

In fact, Comrade Xiao Du's idea at the beginning was to give him a piece of cloth, and then leave some money, and the emergency would be over.

But he was overwhelmed by Niu Niu's cuteness and sensibility. Thinking of his sister, coupled with the quick talk with the aunt, the few remaining blood surged up in the two lives.

Although very impulsive, I didn't particularly regret it.

It's just a long-term support, which is very common in this era. Being alone in the world can be regarded as more of a fetter and a sense of reality in life.

Comrade Xiao Du took Aunt Zuo, Niu Niu, hired a tricycle, and went to the sub-district office on the outskirts of the city to return the popsicle box, and the job of this extremely poor household would not be done in the future.

After explaining the situation, the staff also praised Xiao Du's actions.

After that, I found a ready-made clothing store through the street office, and spent 5 yuan to expedite it. It took 2 hours including work and materials, and made a suit of clothes for Aunt Zuo and Niu Niu, and bought two pairs of new ones. cloth shoes.

While making clothes, Comrade Xiao Du bought 50 catties of stick noodles, 15 catties of white flour, 5 catties of millet, and 5 catties of soybean oil from the food coupons at the nearest grain store.

A total of 13 yuan was spent. As for the food stamps, there are about 3200 catties of various national food stamps in Comrade Du’s space, which is very arrogant.

Afterwards, Xiao Du accompanied the aunt and Niu Niu in new clothes back to the Zuojia Commune. They took a tricycle for the whole journey, accompanied by Xiao Du, and rented a car directly for 2 yuan, which made Ban Ye very happy.

It sounds like I did a lot of things, but I didn't waste much time. When I arrived at Zuojia Commune, it was only 7 o'clock and the sky was still bright.

When we arrived at the Zuojia Commune, the whole commune was in a state of ebullition. There were many people talking about it. Some said that the son of the old Mrs. Zuo had returned, some said that Niuniu’s father had been found, and some people who understood said that this was meeting a good person.

Aunt Zuo has three earthen houses, which have been in disrepair for a long time and are almost collapsed. There is also a large yard and a well. It seems that they should be a good family.

At this time, all the people in the village were lying on the fence of Aunt Zuo's house, three floors inside and three floors outside.

The secretary of the commune was a 60-year-old veteran of the Eighth Route Army. He was lean and thin, and he was dressed in patches and patches.

"Zuo Osmanthus, little girl, you really met a good person, after all, it has to be the (Liberation) Army!"

"Old party secretary, I want to help Aunt Zuo and Niuniu repair their houses tomorrow. See if the village can provide some strong laborers to make sure they have two meals a day."

"No problem, the farm work just isn't busy right now, and the whole village's gentlemen have to rush to do it if they are full for two meals!"

"That's it, Secretary, I will arrive before 12:8 noon tomorrow, and you can help pick [-] people who can work, and we will start working in the afternoon."

"Okay, that's it. I promise to pick the most capable guy, and no one is cheating. After all, it has to be the (Liberation) Army. Be vigorous and resolute!"

"Auntie, Niuniu, then I'm leaving. I'll come back at noon tomorrow. You guys pack up your house tomorrow morning and build a house tomorrow."

"You, you must come tomorrow."

Niuniu hugged Du Weiguo's waist, crying uncontrollably, tears crackling, she was too afraid of losing.

"Niuniu, I promise, I will be back at noon tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Du got on the bike and went back to the city with Master Ban.

Originally, he could go back after sending it to the local boss, but he is also a kind-hearted person who likes to watch the excitement. When returning to the city together, he even said to Xiao Du:
"Men, I don't want the money for chartering the car today. You are doing a good thing with a bodhisattva's heart. If I take money, I will feel a little bit uneasy."

"Brother, we men have to do good deeds according to our ability, don't you think? My conditions are relatively better, and my family has no burden. You have old and young, and you are all counting on you to make money in exchange for food. You have such a kind heart." enough."

"Why don't you say that you are a cadre, and your speech is level."

At this moment, Xiao Du murmured in his heart: "Well, my house hasn't been repaired yet, so I went to the village to build a house first."

　Suddenly recognizing a younger sister is indeed a bit abrupt, because my sense of life has been substituted.

　　The addition of characters is also to find more characters for Comrade Du Weiguo. Zuo Lan will not appear frequently in the future, just a small supporting role.
