Chapter 109 Captain Zhang is here again
This is what Zhang's mother is most worried about. She has experienced fleeing famine and seen the darkest side of human nature, so she never has any high expectations of human nature.
However, Zhang Yu, who had never experienced this, was optimistic and said, "Mom, I think that even if he is the child of a bad guy, as long as I teach him well, he can become a good person."
This time, Zhang's mother came over and was obviously much thinner than the last time. Zhang Yu looked at her thin appearance and asked with concern: "Mom, why have you lost so much weight? Did something happen in the village?"
Mother Zhang sighed and said, "The village is worse now than during the Spring Festival. Now the whole village depends on the little things you brought back."
Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "We have suffered such a severe disaster here, but no relief food has been allocated from above?"
Zhang's mother shook her head, sneered and said, "The captain did apply for relief food, but we haven't seen a single grain of rice in such a long time."
Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "What about the other teams?"
Mother Zhang looked at her two little grandchildren and replied nonchalantly, "Except for the two brigades near our village, which can still hold on for a while because of the things you brought back last time, I heard that the other brigades are just drinking water, and some are even eating Guanyin soil."
"Is the situation so serious? There are only four women in the family. Will you be in danger in the village?"
Mother Zhang waved her hand and said, "That's not the case. Our village hasn't reached that point yet. And after what happened last time, the village has set up a patrol team. There are several people patrolling every morning and evening. And the team leader also takes special care of our family. Don't worry about that."
Hearing what Zhang's mother said, Zhang Yu was finally able to put his mind at ease, but he still advised: "Mom, if things are unusual, you should quickly ask the captain to send you to the town, and don't worry about it at this time."
Mother Zhang nodded and said, "I will, don't worry. By the way, Xiaoyu, how have you been in the county these past few months? Is your work going well?"
Zhang Yu did not dare tell his mother that someone in the county had framed him, for fear of scaring her.
Instead, he looked confident and patted his chest and said, "Are you still not confident about me? I can be anywhere. Now, I am the director of the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative. I am the only one who can trip others up and make things difficult for them, hehe."
Zhang's mother said with a look of satisfaction: "You must have a good relationship with your colleagues, and don't always think about tripping others up. Now that you have children, you must think more about them and don't look down on anyone, understand?"
This time, Zhang Yu replied seriously: "Well, don't worry, I will."
After asking about her son's situation, Zhang's mother remembered the captain's instructions and asked, "Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu, when I came here, the captain asked me to ask you if you can still get food. He may ask you for another batch of food recently. Many families have eaten up the last batch."
Zhang Yu thought about the food he gave to Zhangjia Village last time, and it was indeed not much, so he replied: "Yes, mother, just tell the captain and ask him to come."
Hearing that her son didn't care and was about to get food for the village, Zhang's mother reminded him: "Xiao Yu, you don't know, in fact, if you ask me, the food you got can still be eaten for a while, but some people don't know the importance of it and lend it to their relatives. Now that they have run out of food, they go to the team leader. Now the team leader can't stand it anymore and will come to you for another batch of food. You should be careful when the time comes."
Zhang Yu was shocked. How could there be any food left after eating that little? But since Zhang's mother said so, it must be based on facts, so he nodded and said, "Oh, mother, don't worry, I will pay attention to it."
Seeing that Zhang Yu had made up his mind, Zhang's mother didn't say anything more.
This time, Zhang's mother came mainly to see the child. Now that she has seen the child, she stayed in Gongshan Town for two days and then went back to Zhangjia Village. The main reason was that there were three little girls in Zhangjia Village who needed her care.
But it is nonsense to say that Zhang's mother has any particularly deep feelings for these three little girls. She is the one who can give her own son away. Maybe she truly loves Zhang's father.
Zhang Yu took more than half a month off this time so that he could stay at home and spend time with his wife and build relationships with his children.
Zhang Yu's two adopted sons showed special fondness for the arrival of the twins and another younger brother. Every day when they were at home, they would come to them and take care of them. Even when they liked to go to school, they had to be urged by Zhang Yu.
When Zhang Yu sent them to school that day, he saw the captain of Zhangjia Village waiting in a carriage not far from the door. To be honest, Zhang Yu almost didn't recognize him this time, mainly because the captain now looked like a skeleton.
As soon as Captain Zhang saw Zhang Yu leaving the house, he jumped off the carriage. However, he almost fell out after falling only 20 centimeters away. Zhang Yu hurriedly took two steps forward to hold him up.
Now was the time when everyone was going out to work, and people were coming and going. Zhang Yu looked around and thought that this was not a place to talk, so he hurriedly helped the person in.
At that time, in order to allow the captain to take better care of Zhang's mother and the other three, he gave the captain the most food. Now see what he is like.
Zhang Yu asked in surprise: "Uncle, how did you get into this state? If you are short of food, come to me. If you can't find me, you can go to my mother and get some first."
The captain sighed and said embarrassedly: "Xiao Yu, I know you are an honest person. You said you gave me so much food, but I still made it like this. I am too embarrassed to come here."
Seeing Zhang Yu's puzzled look, the team leader was too embarrassed to tell him that some families in the team had given their food to relatives and then had nothing to eat and came to him to borrow. He said vaguely: "Some families in the team had no food, so I gave them some of my food. That's why, you say, how can you have the nerve to come here?"
Zhang Yu immediately thought of what his mother had said, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he pretended not to know and asked, "What's going on in the village now?"
The captain sighed and said, "Now everyone in the team has no food left. They are so hungry that they have to lie in bed all day. Alas, God won't let us live."
The last time Zhang's mother came, she mentioned other brigades, but I didn't expect that Zhangjia Village is almost the same now.
Zhang Yu knew that many places had applied for relief grain, and he was puzzled as to why Zhangjia Village had not applied for such relief grain. He asked, "Uncle, our brigade's situation is so serious, didn't the higher-ups send us relief grain?"
The captain frowned and said, "Forget about the relief grain. You don't know how high the per-acre yield reported by our town leaders is. These town leaders are not doing their job. How can the higher-ups give us any? I applied for it several times, but I was rejected several times just for this. Sigh."
At this time, Maluyan walked out of Ma Luoying and Zhang Yu's bedroom. When she saw Zhang Yu, Maluyan thought of that man again, so she called him "Uncle" and walked out without paying any attention to Zhang Yu.
