The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 251 Angry Shazhu!!
The waiter rolled his eyes when he heard this, and didn't say yes or no. But in a moment, he brought a bowl of batter over.

"This is the only one. Drink it if you want. Five cents."

Xu Huizhen took the bowl of batter with a stern face, and did not say thank you. She took a small spoon and dipped a little batter, then gently put it on Xu Jingli's small, soft lips.

Xu Jingli was really hungry. She stuck out her tongue and lightly touched the batter. She seemed to taste the sweetness and immediately started licking it, eating it with relish.

This was the first time Zhang Shenfei had seen such a scene in his two lifetimes. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "How cute, just like a kitten drinking milk."

I didn't look at her carefully before, but now I see that she is really pretty. Her face is not chubby, but white and tender. Her facial features are not fully developed, but you can see that she is a beauty.

The little girl didn't know whether she noticed Zhang Shenfei was looking at her or it was an unconscious action, but she suddenly turned her head while eating the batter and giggled at Zhang Shenfei.

"Cute... Is it okay to just eat the batter?" Zhang Shenfei said again.

Upon hearing this, the director slapped her forehead in annoyance and said, "Look, look, how could I have forgotten about this.

Huizhen, your child is adopted, and you don't have milk. How can the child be nutritious if he only drinks rice porridge? No, I have to apply for milk coupons for the child."

"Milk tickets? That thing is difficult to get, right? Director, you are troubled again." Xu Huizhen hugged Xu Jingli and gave the director a apologetic smile.

In the era of planned economy, people needed tickets for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Milk tickets were extremely precious.

When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, the milk production in my country was only 0.4 tons, and the per capita milk consumption was kg. What does this mean? It means that the people of the country consume less than two bags of milk per person in a year.

In this era of supply by tickets, milk tickets are only supplied to specific people.

There are three colors of milk coupons in the city now, namely red, white and blue.

After verification, red tickets will be issued to children who are confirmed to be in need of milk: two kilograms per day for children under two years old and one kilogram per day for children over two years old.

Severely ill patients are given blue tickets, half a catty per day. The elderly are given white tickets, depending on the situation, and the maximum amount per month is no more than 20 catties.

The verification process is also very strict, and it requires first, second and third reviews.

There were not many milk brands in that era, only a few brands such as Red Star, Bright, Sanyuan, and Weigang.

Xu Huizhen didn't expect that the director's wife would take the initiative to offer to help her solve the milk problem, and she was immediately flattered.

"Hey, Huizhen, what you said is very distant. You picked up an orphan and raised him, which is a contribution to the country. Our neighborhood committee should help you solve your problems. This is the formal procedure." The director said with a high level of awareness.

As they were talking, the waiter came over and served the food.

A few years ago, Quan J De was the same as Bian Yi Fang. After ordering roast duck, the chef would roast it and then push the whole duck to the customer's table on a cart and slice it in front of everyone.

This is similar to a performance, which is both entertaining and allows diners to eat freshly sliced ​​and hot duck.

But in the past two years, the situation has changed.

Firstly, the duck is roasted directly in the kitchen, sliced, and served on a large platter.

I don’t know if it’s because the duck was roasted in advance or because it was sliced ​​in advance.

Anyway, the food was no longer hot when it was served, and because it was cold, there was even some white grease solidified on the plate.

The quality is far worse than before.

Zhang Shenfei was not very satisfied, but when he looked at the few tables of diners around him, he saw that they were all eating with relish and looked very satisfied.

Yes, in recent years, people's living standards have begun to decline, and eating out requires tickets.

It is really good for ordinary people to go to a restaurant and eat a roast duck. Why would they be picky? ?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shenfei was no longer picky. He took out a spring pancake from the steamer on the side, put two slices of duck meat in it, added chopped green onions and other side dishes, brushed it with sweet noodle sauce, rolled it up and handed it to Xu Huizhen.

"No, that's not necessary, Brother Zhang. I'll do it myself." Xu Huizhen said flattered.

Zhang Shenfei pushed the roast duck into her hands without giving any explanation: "You are still holding a child, how can you roll it yourself? Eat it quickly, or it will be cold and not tasty."

Although it's cold now...but don't worry about these details!!
Having said that, Xu Huizhen was no longer humble and took the pancake with one hand and took a bite.

Although the pancake was a little cold and hard, and the roast duck inside was greasy, Xu Huizhen felt that it was the most delicious roast duck she had ever eaten in her life.

Zhang, Shenfei and the other two ate a duck and drank a pot of hot duck soup with relish.

Finally, the director said that she still had work to do, so she separated from Zhang Shenfei and Xu Huizhen.

Zhang Shenfei took Xu Huizhen to the department store and bought some necessities for Xu Jingli.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening after we sent the mother and daughter to the tavern on Qianmen Street.

There must be no buses at this moment, so Zhang Shenfei planned to take a tricycle and leave.

Who knew that by such a coincidence, he actually hit Cai Quanwu's car again.

After they looked at each other, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Comrade Cai Quanwu, we are really destined to be together." Zhang Shenfei said.

"That's right, Comrade Zhang, are you going home?"

"Yes, I'm going to Nanluoguxiang."

"Then get in the car and I'll take you there."

Cai Quanwu rode his tricycle eastward and soon sent Zhang Shenfei to the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

It was also a coincidence that Zhang Shenfei had just gotten off the car and was about to pay Cai Quanwu when Sha Zhu returned to the gate of the yard carrying a broken net bag with two lunch boxes inside.

The two sides met, and Sha Zhu immediately got angry: "He Daqing, you bastard, why did you come back? You have the nerve to come back???"

Huh? Cai Quanwu looked at him in confusion: "What are you talking about, uncle?"

Hearing the voice that was completely different from He Daqing's, Sha Zhu immediately realized that he had recognized the wrong person.

This person is not He Daqing!!! Sha Zhu was slightly stunned at first, and then he suddenly became angry:

"Who are you calling uncle? You look like an old man who has been retired for three years and walks his bird in a cage. You still have the nerve to call me uncle? I'm only twenty this year."

Hiss!! Twenty years old???

Cai Quanwu glanced at Sha Zhu silently and said, "You look quite old then."

Sha Zhu also glanced at him and said, "You don't look young either."

Hurting each other, who is afraid of who?

Zhang Shenfei told a joke for nothing.

After Sha Zhu came to his senses, he looked at Cai Quanwu's face which was almost exactly like his father's, and immediately an idea came to his mind.

He pulled Cai Quanwu aside and asked him his surname, given name, where he lived, how many people were in his family, how many acres of land each person had, and how many cows were on the land. He asked him everything.

Cai Quanwu was not stupid either. From the fact that Sha Zhu called out the three names He Daqing after seeing him and his reaction after seeing him, he guessed that this person and He Daqing might have some connection with him.

So when he heard the other party asking him, he did not answer immediately, but asked to find a quieter place to discuss in detail.

Sha Zhu thought so too. It is said that there are no secrets in a courtyard house. Today, the old couple from the host family had a quarrel, and it would spread to the whole courtyard in less than ten minutes.

It was time for a walk after dinner. If the two of them really said something, the entire steel mill might know about it tomorrow.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then come home with me."

Cai Quanwu patted the seat of his tricycle and asked, "What should I do with my tricycle?"

"Push forward, it's not safe outside."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he walked into the yard carrying the net bag.

Cai Quanwu followed behind pushing his bicycle, and Zhang Shenfei followed behind Cai Quanwu.

The three of them walked into the courtyard, passed through the hanging flower gate, the front yard, and soon arrived at the door of Sha Zhu's house in the middle yard.

After Cai Quanwu entered the room, he saw Zhang Shenfei following him and looked at him silently.

Zhang Shenfei didn't say anything and just looked at Sha Zhu silently.

Sha Zhu waved his hand and said, "Brother Da Fei is my brother, closer to me than my own father. I have nothing to hide from him."

OK! With his words in mind, Cai Quanwu couldn't say anything else.

The three of them then sat down, and He Yushui came over and poured them tea.

Seeing Cai Quanwu's face that was almost exactly the same as her biological father He Daqing, the little girl was so excited that her hand shook when she was pouring water and she directly emptied the cup.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

When his father passed away, his sister was only four years old. In a blink of an eye, six years have passed and the little girl has grown into ten years old.

Although He Yushui didn't say it, Shazhu understood that He Yushui still missed his father...

After pouring the water, He Yushui did not leave, but sat next to Zhang Shenfei, staring at Cai Quanwu.

Obviously, she was also interested in this man who looked like her father.

Sha Zhu ignored He Yushui and looked at Cai Quanwu and asked the same questions he had asked before.

After Cai Quanwu hesitated for a while, he finally said, "Brother Shazhu, can I ask what your last name is?"

"My surname is He, my given name is He Yuzhu, and this is my sister He Yushui. Our father is He Daqing, who ran away to Baocheng with a widow six years ago and abandoned my brother and me."

Sha Zhu had no idea that family disgrace should not be made public, and he sold out his father He Daqing in just a few words.

Cai Quanwu had already guessed it in his mind. After thinking for a moment after hearing Sha Zhu's words, he slowly said:
"My last name is Cai Quanwu, and I live in Menkuang Hutong on Qianmen Street."

Seeing Sha Zhu's expression change, he said again:

"I took my mother's surname because my father didn't marry my mother and he was a bastard. I only know his last name is He.

Back then, my mother was still a virgin girl. She sent flowers to a mansion owned by a man named He, but the owner of that house took a fancy to her and gave her to…"

Having said that, Cai Quanwu's eyes were filled with hatred and his hands were clenched into fists.

"After I was born, my mother was afraid that he would find me, so she had no choice but to hide with me from place to place... Later, when Peking was liberated and that bastard was shot, we were able to live a peaceful life..."

"Over the years, my mother rarely talked to me about these things, but she mentioned before that I have a second uncle who is a good man, different from my biological father, who is a beast. She also said that his name is He Zhenzu..."

Hiss! ! He Zhenzu? ? ? Sha Zhu immediately gasped, isn't this his cousin?
Before this, he went to the publishing house with this cousin to collect rent from Cao Xueqin, but later they were both admitted to Anding Hospital.

Think again,
I seem to have heard that bastard He Daqing say before that He Zhenzu did have an older brother named He Zhenhua.
