Chapter 421 Everyone is still following the rules at this time
That is, Xu Damao often followed the film projection team to the countryside to show movies, and he could bring back a lot of food and things from there.
Otherwise, the family of three might not even be able to survive on coarse food.
After all, even the pickles that ordinary people disliked the most were rationed these days and were often sold out.
If you can’t grab it, you can’t eat it.
Just as Xu Damao took the backpack and various bills from Ran Qiuye, Li Qingshan, who came out with Yi Zhonghai and the others, came over reluctantly.
"Brother, I have some tickets here, can you help me buy the food?"
Seeing Li Qingshan hesitantly handing the boss a plate of food tickets, He Yuzhu subconsciously looked to the back of the team, and sure enough, he saw Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, Liu Haizhong and the others all looking at this side eagerly.
Not only He Yuzhu, but also the neighbors behind him were shocked when they saw the stack of food coupons in Li Qingshan's hand.
Following He Yuzhu's line of sight, he also spotted Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and the others with expectant faces.
Then he started yelling.
"Zhu Zi, this is not acceptable!
All of us neighbors are queuing up obediently, you can't be the first to break the rules, otherwise everyone will rush to buy vegetables, and then no one will be able to buy vegetables."
Those who spoke first were all old neighbors who had watched He Yuzhu grow up, and they spoke without restraint.
Those who had moved to Nanluoguxiang a few years ago did not think they had such a deep friendship with He Yuzhu, so they could only wait for others to speak first before they followed suit.
"It's not Captain He,
Everyone is having a hard time right now, so the first-come, first-served rule is very important.
Otherwise, if everyone starts looting, our Beiping city will be in chaos, and even if you mobilize the 10,000 or 20,000 militiamen under your command to maintain order, they may not be able to do so. "
"That's right, Captain He, you've seen those outsiders who come to Beijing for dinner, they always make a fuss.
If we start making trouble too, you guys will feel bad too!"
If the neighbors were somewhat concerned about He Yuzhu, then Xu Damao, who was standing not far from him, had no such thoughts at all.
You know, the Xu family's food coupons are about to expire.
The couple had to spend the money quickly while they were at the front of the line today.
If Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's actions disrupted the order and the neighbors started a noisy scramble for the tickets, and ended up leaving them with nothing, he would suffer a huge loss.
So Xu Damao stood up without hesitation and called out the names of Yi Zhonghai and the others.
As for whether it would offend people, Xu Damao didn't care.
"Zhu Zi, if you want to buy groceries for Uncle One, Uncle Two and Jia Dongxu, then you have to be fair and buy groceries for me as well.
Many of the neighbors around here have watched us grow up, so we can't favor one over the other.
Why don't you buy it for everyone?"
Xu Damao called out the names of Yi Zhonghai and others, and the neighbors immediately looked over. They might not be able to do anything to He Yuzhu, but they could easily deal with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.
"Lao Yi, Lao Liu, what do you mean?
You have to admit that you are late. What are you doing making such a mess?
Everyone is like you.
Then our city of Beiping would be in complete chaos!
There are so many outsiders coming to our city of Beiping, it's already chaotic enough, and if you guys start to do this, then no one will follow the rules anymore."
"Lao Yi, Lao Liu, you better think carefully. If you make us angry, we will definitely smash the windows of your house."
……
Seeing that the neighbors were all aggressively targeting them,
The hot-tempered Liu Haizhong, the stingy Yan Bugui, and the unreasonable Jia Zhangshi all knew that they had angered the public. They all had ugly faces and were like quails, not daring to refute a word.
He Yuzhu looked at Li Qingshan who was still standing next to him, smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Why don't you give the ticket back to your godfather and second uncle?" Li Qingshan knew he was in trouble. If He Yuzhu hadn't been standing next to him, he would have been scolded to death by the neighbors.
Now he quickly replied,
"Go here."
Seeing that Li Qingshan returned the food coupons to Yi Zhonghai and the others, the neighbors calmed down.
After all, quarreling takes energy, and when they can't even get enough food to eat, they won't waste their energy on these insignificant things.
Then someone asked He Yuzhu about Li Qingshan's situation.
"Zhuzi, your Qingshan is 18 this year, right? He can get married in two years. Has he found a partner at school?"
Given the conditions of the He family, Li Qingshan could be said to be one of the most suitable marriage candidates in the Nanluoguxiang area.
Not to mention that he himself worked hard and was admitted to a technical secondary school.
Now is the last semester of my three-year technical secondary school. I am doing an internship in the technical department of a steel mill. My internship salary is 3 yuan.
When he graduates this summer, he will be directly converted to a full-time employee, which means he will be a level 7 technician. His salary will increase directly to 5 or 60 yuan, which is comparable to Jia Dongxu, a level 10 fitter with 4 years of work experience.
Plus, with He Yuzhu, a cheap big brother, watching over him, countless opportunities were waiting for him.
Not to mention transferring to become a leading cadre in a steel rolling mill, even if you become a senior technician, a salary of over 100 yuan is a stable thing.
At a time when most workers only earn 30 yuan a month,
Who wouldn’t be jealous and worried about this?
So when they heard someone asking He Yuzhu and Li Qingshan if they had a boyfriend, the neighbors pricked up their ears.
Even if there is no suitable girl in your own family, you can always find a suitable girl in the families of relatives and friends by looking around.
If things are successful, you can also benefit from it.
However, He Yuzhu really didn't know Li Qingshan's specific situation, so naturally he had no idea where to start.
"Uncle, I really don't know much about this matter.
You also said that Qingshan is 18 years old this year and is a grown man. He must have his own privacy. You can't tell me everything like you did when he was a child!
If you have any ideas, just ask him or ask Aunt Bai.
I won't get involved in matters like finding a partner, so as not to end up in a situation where you are not accepted by everyone."
Seeing that He Yuzhu had no intention of interfering in Li Qingshan's affairs, the neighbors could understand. After all, Li Qingshan was old and had no blood relationship with him, so there was always a layer of separation between them and it was indeed difficult to control him.
While everyone was talking, He Yuzhu had already stood at the front of the line, and then he heard the store staff Li Qiuyu smiling and greeting him.
"Captain He, how many dishes do you want?"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu looked up at the half-empty truck, then reached into his pocket and took out the food coupons.
"Including the old lady, there are 10 people in our family.
Comrade Xiao Li, please buy all the vegetables for me for the next ten days, 10 kilograms of radish and cabbage each, 3 kilograms of potatoes. Here are the vegetable tickets for 14 kilograms.
By the way, have you re-pinned the scales?"
