Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 167: The Great Injustice (Second Update)
Qin Huairu looked embarrassed after he finished speaking, holding the five cents he had just taken out of his pocket, and said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"never mind……"

"I only have five cents left today. Without food coupons, I can't buy steamed bread... The weirdos don't have this luxury..."

He Yuzhu got anxious after hearing this: "Sister Qin... How can this be possible?"

"Bang Geng is my godson. As his godfather, I will definitely think of him when I have something delicious. I would rather starve myself than let Bang Geng and the others go hungry..."

"They need some steamed bread... Sister Qin, just tell me, I'll pay for you..."

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and replied: "Then take ten..."

"I eat two steamed breads at night, Banggeng and my mother-in-law eat three each, Xiaodang eats one, and we keep one just in case..."

Ten steamed buns were equivalent to one and a half pounds of food coupons and twenty cents, plus forty cents for two servings of meat and vegetables, which added up to one and a half pounds of food coupons and sixty cents. After He Yuzhu was demoted, his daily salary was not even as much as this.

It was equivalent to Qin Huairu spending his entire day's salary on one meal. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel heartbroken.

But when he saw Qin Huairu's grateful face, He Yuzhu's heart softened and he immediately patted his chest and replied, "Ten steamed buns are ten steamed buns..."

“As Banggeng’s godfather, I can still afford ten steamed buns.

After that, he said to Master Wang who was collecting money next to him: "Please put all the money from Sister Qin into my account. I will make up the difference later..."

Master Wang looked at He Yuzhu as if he was looking at a fool, and confirmed again and again: "A total of one and a half catties of food coupons, 60 cents... plus our food coupons and vegetable money for lunch, it's two catties of food coupons, 80 cents... Master He, are you sure you can pay all this money yourself...

He Yuzhu immediately replied: "I will..."

"Hurry up and take the next one..."

Half an hour later, the bustling cafeteria finally returned to silence, and the people in the kitchen who had been busy all afternoon finally started to eat.

According to regulations, each person had to hand in half a pound of rice and two tickets, or 20 cents, every day, which was counted as food expenses for lunch and dinner.

No matter how much you eat, as long as it is eaten and not wasted, you will only receive this much money, which is equivalent to the little benefit Tang Lin has obtained for the kitchen.

When it was He Yuzhu's turn, he emptied all his pockets and only took out a pound of food coupons and thirty cents, which was less than half of the amount he had to pay to the canteen.

He Yuzhu said ruthlessly: "I have no money on me... Tell Wang Dong to deduct the salary directly from my salary next month..."

The assistant chef who collected the money was Wang Dong's best confidant. Seeing that He Yuzhu, a level 10 chef, dared to call Wang Dong by his name, he instantly became angry and said unhappily, "The money can be deducted from next month's salary. Where are the food coupons?"

"Your monthly salary does not include food coupons..."

Seeing that everyone in the kitchen was focusing their attention on him, He Yuzhu became anxious and immediately replied, "I will make up for the missing pound and two coupons tomorrow, and I will make sure that there is not a shortage of one or two coupons in the kitchen."

He Yuzhu felt like he was almost losing face in the kitchen.

A grown man searched his whole body and found only one pound of food coupons and three cents.

He grabbed two steamed buns, filled a bowl of pork stewed with vermicelli, and hurriedly left the kitchen.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he left, everyone in the kitchen labeled him as a "big villain".

His salary was already very low, and it was difficult for him to even support himself and his sister, but he took the initiative to pay for Qin Huairu's food.

They had seen all kinds of people, but had never seen anyone as stupid as He Yuzhu. It was truly an eye-opener for them.

At noon the next day, He Yuzhu was still waiting at the food window for Qin Huairu to arrive.

He was a little upset that Qin Huairu had spent a day's salary on his meal, but when Qin Huairu thanked him on the way home from get off work, helped him clean up the room when they returned to the courtyard, and held his hand to thank him again, all the unhappiness in his heart was swept away. In order for Qin Huairu to help him clean up the room again tonight and hold his hands to express his gratitude, He Yuzhu decided to continue to serve Qin Huairu personally at noon today.

Just when he was about to lose the iron spoon in his hand, Qin Huairu finally appeared in front of him.

"Zhu Zi, last night Bang Geng and my mother-in-law both said that the pork stewed with vermicelli in the cafeteria was very delicious and they asked me to bring some more dishes back today..."

"Please make me a pork stew with vermicelli and a shredded radish for lunch today..."

"I eat shredded radish, pork stewed with vermicelli and some cabbage to mix with it..."

After saying that, he handed the money for the food to Master Wang.

He Yuzhu became anxious after hearing this, fearing that his goddess might be starving, and hurriedly said, "Sister Qin..."

"How can this be possible... You gave all the delicious food to Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi, what are you going to do..."

After that, he put another spoonful of pork stewed with vermicelli into Qin Huairu's lunch box, turned his head and said to Master Wang beside him: "This bowl of food is mine, I will make up for the money for the meat and vegetables later..."

Five days later, Deputy Director Li somehow managed to bring back eight pigs for the steel rolling mill, weighing more than 2,000 kilograms in total.

The factory decided to make a braised pork meal.

Due to the shortage of supplies in the old city, the price of pork in Gezi City has risen to five yuan per catty, and there is no demand. The factory leaders decided to set the price of braised pork at two yuan per serving and the price of pork offal at one yuan per serving, so that the workers in the factory can enjoy some meat.

As for the workers who couldn't afford meat, because eight pigs could produce more than 100 kilograms of pork, all the vegetarian dishes made for lunch today were fried with lard, and were very oily.

He Yuzhu was standing at the food window as usual, waiting for Qin Huairu to arrive.

Qin Huairu heard in the workshop that a canteen had braised pork and pork offal for lunch.

Although he didn't have enough money to buy braised pork and offal, there was a big enemy in the cafeteria named He Yuzhu. As long as she wanted to eat, He Yuzhu would definitely help her get it.

In order to prevent the limited braised pork and offal from being snatched up by others, Qin Huairu would rush to the cafeteria with her lunch box as soon as the bell rang for the end of get off work.

"Sister Qin...you came so early today, did you hear that the cafeteria sells braised pork..." He Yuzhu smiled when he saw Qin Huairu, picked up the iron spoon and prepared to dip it into the braised pork.

Qin Huairu quickly stopped him: "Pillar..."

"Sister Qin only earns over 20 yuan, how can she afford a 2 yuan portion of braised pork... Don't joke with me."

"I heard that today's shredded radish is fried with lard, which is very fragrant. Give me two servings of shredded radish... and let Banggeng and the others taste the meat..."

Before He Yuzhu could even open his mouth, a kitchen helper nearby shouted, "Master He..."

"Qin Huairu is your godson's biological mother, how can you let her eat shredded radish?"

"I must let her eat braised pork and pig offal today..."

"It's rare for us in the steel mill to have such delicious food... You can't lose face for us men..."

He Yuzhu was originally a person who loved to show off in front of Qin Huairu. After being provoked by the kitchen gang, he couldn't stand it on the spot and immediately shouted: "Sister Qin...they are right."

"I'm the godfather of Banggeng, and it's my responsibility to make you slow."

"You have a large family, so I'll make you two servings of braised pork and one serving of pork offal. You can eat more and take the rest home for Bang Geng."
