My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 211 Canteen Helpers
"Xiao Xu, this is too much..."

"It's nothing, that's all I can help." Xu Dong waved his hand.

"Enough is enough, I don't even know how to thank you!"

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

After the housing reform, housing prices will usher in a wave of 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 for investment has been destroyed by fire, and all the investment has been in vain. My eldest sister really regrets it to death."

"Is there no compensation from the beautiful country?"

"I've never heard of it. Anyway, it's very chaotic over there now. I don't expect it anymore." Gao Yuemei sighed.

"Such a big indoor farm, what a pity!"

"Who says it's not? Those thugs are simply insane. Why would they set fire to it? They don't think about how they will live without these factories." Gao Yuemei said angrily.

After chatting for a few words, Xu Dong left. It's almost time for dinner, so he can't stay for dinner!
After Xu Dong left, Gao Yuemei started cooking dinner.

Dinner is very simple, scoop a bowl of rice into the rice cooker, add water, add chopped vegetables, mix 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 House.

"Teacher Xing, are you at home?"

"It's Sister Gao, is there anything missing in the room?"

Gao Yuemei shook her head: "There's nothing missing, I just steamed some sweet potatoes, and I'll send some over for you to try."

"What's so funny about that?"

Having said that, Teacher Xing still took the plate. This month, the food on their food card account is much less than last month.

For ordinary families, if there is no food in the house, then starting from this month, there is a high probability that they will be hungry.

Teacher Xing's family has a son and a daughter. Although the children are not around, but it is the beginning of July, and two grandchildren and a granddaughter are coming to her for the summer vacation, and the ration pressure is a bit high.

The sweet potato is just right for children to eat. Of course, Mr. Xing is welcome.

She could see it. Although this elder sister Gao looked very down and out, she had something to do with him. She saw it just now. The basket full of vegetables was too tempting.

"Ms. Xing, I would like to ask, is there a nursery near here?" Gao Yuemei took the opportunity to ask, she will have to go to work next, so she can't take care of her children, so she can only put her eldest grandson in the nursery.

Teacher Xing put away the sweet potatoes and came out with an empty plate, "Yes, we have them in the alley. It costs 1000 yuan a month, not including food and lodging, but you can help heat the meals."

"The price is not expensive, how is the teacher there?"

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

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

"Turn left when you go out, and you will be there in two 300 meters. There is a signboard at the door, so it is easy to find." Teacher Xing reminded.

"Thank you, Teacher Xing."

"You're welcome, it's not important. I've lived here for decades. If you have anything you don't understand, 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 reapply for a grain card.

When they went abroad before, their food card had been frozen, and even the card was lost later, and now they need to reissue.

After a lot of work, the food card was finally reissued, but the rations for this month had already been distributed, and there was only eight catties of emergency cornmeal in the account.

Fortunately, Gao Yuemei's grandfather and grandson were not short of rations. If it was someone else, they would have to try their luck on the black market right now.

If you are unlucky, you will really starve to death.

Next, Gao Yuemei, grandparents and grandchildren came to the nursery that Teacher Xing said. The conditions of the nursery were not bad, and the teachers seemed very patient, so they signed up directly.

The registration money was left by Xu Dong yesterday, a total of 5000 yuan. Gao Yuemei didn't take this money in vain, and she would pay it back when the salary was paid.

It was the last bit of dignity she had.

After registering, Xiao Zhang Tao was left in the nursery, while Gao Yuemei went home and changed, and then came to the office of the security department according to the appointment time last night.

Section Chief Li came out to greet him in person.

"Old Gao, welcome back."

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

"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 cafeteria. Where do you want to go?" Xu Dong took the opportunity to interject.

"I'd better go to the cafeteria, maybe I can order more food for you." Gao Yuemei said with a smile, the security department is full of acquaintances, she really has no face to stay, perhaps a strange environment is more suitable for her.

"It's okay to go to the cafeteria. I've greeted Director Cao. Xiao Xu, you can just take Lao Gao there!" Section Chief Li ordered.

Xu Dong nodded.

After half an hour, the two came out from the logistics department of the cafeteria. Gao Yuemei's entry procedures had already been completed, and she had also attached herself to a third-party human resource dispatch company.

The salary is 700 yuan per month, and the content of the job is to do odd jobs in the cafeteria. Because of Xu Dong's care, the person in charge of the cafeteria patted his chest and promised that he would arrange a lighter job.

"Sister Gao, do the work first. If it's not suitable, we'll find a way to replace it for you."

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

"Okay, Taotao, how did you arrange it?"

"I sent him to the nursery. It's in the alley. I can go back and have a look during my lunch break."

"Just arrange it!" Xu Dong nodded, and then said: "Sister Gao, let me tell you in advance that everyone is going to sit with you this Saturday, and take a look at the child by the way."

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

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

"What's going on?" Gao Yuemei asked nervously. She usually had the best relationship with girl Xiang Xin, so she was very concerned.

"Xiang Xin's husband He Jian died on duty."

Gao Yuemei was taken aback: "When did this happen?"

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

"What a crime, is Xiao Xiang alright?"

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

"It's fine."

Gao Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief.
