My courtyard shelter

"Xiao Xu, this is too much..."

"It's nothing, that's all I can help.

��Xu Dong waved his hand.

"That's enough, I don't even know how to thank you!"

Xu Dong was polite, and then asked: "Sister Gao, do you still have assets in the beautiful country?"

After the housing reform, housing prices will see a sharp decline, which is a good opportunity to buy a house.

"It's all gone." Gao Yuemei shook her head, "The indoor farm we applied to invest in has been burned down, and all the investment has been wasted. Sister really regrets it to death."

"Isn't there any compensation from Beautiful Country?"

"I haven't heard of it. Anyway, it's very chaotic over there now, so I don't have any hope." Gao Yuemei sighed.

“It’s such a big indoor farm, what a pity!”

"Who says it's not the case? Those thugs are simply crazy. They set fires everywhere and don't want to think about how they will live in the future without these factories." Gao Yuemei said angrily.

After chatting for a few words, Xu Dong left. It was almost time for dinner, so he couldn't stay for dinner!

After Xu Dong left, Gao Yuemei started cooking dinner.

Dinner is very simple. I scoop a bowl of rice into the rice cooker, add water, add chopped vegetables, mix it together and cook, and steam three sweet potatoes by the way.

After the sweet potatoes were steamed, Gao Yuemei put them on a plate and took them to the landlord's house in the north room.

"Teacher Xing, are you at home?"

"It's Sister Gao. Is there anything missing in the room?"

Gao Yuemei shook her head: "There is no shortage of anything. I just steamed some sweet potatoes and brought some over for you to try."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Having said that, Teacher Xing still took the plate smoothly. This month, the food on their family's food card account was much less than last month.

For ordinary families, if there is no food stored at home, there is a high probability that they will go hungry starting from this month.

Teacher Xing’s family has a son and a daughter. Although the children are not around, it is early July. Two grandsons and a granddaughter are coming to her for the summer vacation, so the pressure on food rations is a bit high.

The sweet potatoes are sweet and suitable as snacks for the children. Of course, Teacher Xing is welcome.

She could tell that although this tall lady looked very downcast, she had connections. She had just seen the basket full of vegetables, which was so appetizing.

“Mr.

Ms.

"The price is not expensive. How about the teachers there?"

"Don't worry, the teachers are all old neighbors in our alley, and their character is absolutely trustworthy. Many families in our alley are happy to send their children to them."

Gao Yuemei took the empty plate: "Then I'll ask tomorrow. If the conditions are really good, I'll sign up the child."

"When you go out, turn left and walk two to three hundred meters and you'll be there. There's a sign at the door, which is easy to find." Teacher Xing reminded.

"Thank you, Teacher Xing."

"You're welcome, it's not an important matter. I have lived here for decades. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me at any time." Teacher Xing said enthusiastically.

Gao Yuemei nodded and then left.

…

Early the next morning, Gao Yuemei first took her eldest grandson to the bank to prepare for a new grain card.

When they went abroad before, their food card had been frozen. Later, they even lost the card and now they need to get a replacement.

After a lot of effort, the ration card was finally reissued, but this month's rations had already been allocated, and there were only eight kilograms of emergency corn meal on the account.

Gao Yue, Mei and his grandson simply had no shortage of food. If it were anyone else, they would have no choice but to try their luck on the black market.

If you are not lucky, you will really starve to death.

Next, Gao Yuemei and her grandson went to the nursery that Teacher Xing said was in good condition and the teachers seemed very patient, so they signed up directly.

The registration money was left by Xu Dong yesterday, a total of five thousand yuan. Gao Yuemei did not receive this money in vain, and would pay it back after her salary was paid.

This was the last bit of dignity she had left.

After registering, little Zhang Tao was left in the nursery, while Gao Yuemei went home, changed her clothes, and then came to the security office at the time agreed last night.

Section Chief Li came out to greet him personally.

"Lao Gao, welcome back."

Gao Yuemei held back tears: "Section Chief, I wish I had listened to your advice."

"It's all over..." Section Chief Li comforted.

"Sister Gao, Uncle Li found two job opportunities for you. One is to stay in our security department, and the other is to work as a helper in the canteen. Where do you want to go?" Xu Dong took the opportunity to interject.

"I'd better go to the canteen. Maybe I can get you some more food." Gao Yuemei said with a smile. Everyone in the security department was familiar with her. She really didn't have the nerve to stay. A strange environment might be more suitable for her.

"You can also go to the cafeteria. I have already said hello to Director Cao. Xiao Xu, just take Lao Gao there!" Section Chief Li ordered.

Xu Dong nodded.

Half an hour later, the two came out of the canteen's logistics department. Gao Yuemei's entry procedures had been completed and she was also affiliated with a third-party human resources dispatch company.

The salary was 6,700 yuan per month, and the job content was to do odd jobs in the canteen. Because of Xu Dong's care, the canteen manager patted his chest and promised that he would arrange a lighter job for her.

"Sister Gao, do the job first. If it's not suitable, we will find a way to change it for you."

"Don't bother, I'm already very satisfied to have a stable job." Gao Yuemei shook her head quickly.

"Well, how did you arrange for Taotao?"

"I sent him to a nursery in the alley. I can go back to see him during lunch break."

"As long as it's arranged!" Xu Dong nodded, and then said: "Sister Gao, let me tell you in advance that everyone is going to visit you this Saturday and see the child."

"Okay, I also want to get together with you. We haven't seen each other for half a year."

Xu Dong hesitated for a while before speaking: "Sister Gao, there is something I forgot to tell you. Something happened to Xiao Xiang's family."

"What happened?" Gao Yuemei said nervously. She usually has the best relationship with Xiang Xin, so she is particularly concerned.

"Xiang Xin's husband He Jian died in the line of duty."

Gao Yuemei was shocked: "When did it happen?"

"In May, I still couldn't hide it after hiding it for half a month." Xu Dong sighed.

"What a sin, is Xiaoxiang's baby okay?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "It's okay, Xiaoxiang has almost recovered now, and she will give birth next month."

"It's good that she's okay."

Gao Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief.
