Chapter 42 1980 Struggle (6)

Zhu Jiayi looked pale, "Aunt Zhang, Aunt Sun, we didn't sign a land lease contract with you, but you did occupy our vegetable field for several years. It's not justified, right?"

Shi Pingyang had a look of shame on his face. He raised four children by himself, but only kept them from starving to death. This was very different from their own begging on the street. At most, they had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Now he still needs his daughter, who is still recovering from a serious illness, to support the family's vegetable field.

He clenched his fists and said to the two neighbors seriously and seriously: "Sister-in-law Zhang, younger siblings, you also know that our family's conditions are difficult. Before, it was because the children couldn't take care of the vegetable field, so you occupied it.

Now that our Jiayi grow-up conference is in charge, the children's appetite has increased sharply, and they are hungry every day, even ordinary tomatoes and cucumbers are considered rare items..."

There were people coming and going in the Tongzilou, now everyone saw them blocking here, they all crowded around curiously, and pointed at the two women when they heard this. "That's right, Lao Shi's life is so difficult, and the two of them still take advantage of it openly."

"The two-cent vegetable market may not look very big, but it can save a lot of money on grocery shopping. As far as the two of them are looking, they must be taking advantage of it for nothing. Usually, they are not even willing to give away some tomatoes and cucumbers..."

"I'm talking about Lao Shi, they just don't want to pay back, you can go to the organization for a review, or the neighborhood committee, you can always find a suitable way..."

There is no way, the vegetable land in the unit is limited, and each family is only allocated two points, but these two can take advantage, and now they have become the target of public criticism?

The two women were ashamed and angry, at this time their man also came back, and immediately said to Shi Pingyang angrily after hearing this: "Lao Shi, it's okay, you are the one who lent us the land, and now you want to come back without saying anything." Also you!

Well, the good guy is you, have we become rascals?

We don't want the vegetables in the field anymore, you just take them away and let the big guys see what kind of people your family is like! "

The onlookers were not firm at all, seeing that the two well-tended vegetable fields would not return a penny to the Shi family, their tone changed, and they began to speak sour words.

Shi Pingyang's face turned red, obviously he was not at fault, but this situation turned out to be the result.

On the contrary, Zhu Jiayi didn't show any embarrassment, but said with a light smile: "Thank you Uncle Zhang and Uncle Sun, the vegetables in this vegetable field are your rent for two years, and we don't take advantage of anyone else."

One sentence punctured the twists and turns of the two companies, and pulled the public opinion back to their own side.

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Ying Ziyu with bright eyes, "Sister, let's go see what's in the vegetable garden, and add more vegetables tonight!"

Ying Ziyu was only nine years old, and couldn't help cheering happily, "Sister, can we also eat tomatoes mixed with sugar? No, sugar is too expensive, so we can just eat tomatoes. Let's pick two, shall we?"

Sugar is precious, but those who work in the factory and are divided into Tongzilou can still make a luxury of making a plate of sugar mixed with tomatoes for the children every now and then.

Seeing the little girl's happy and crazy look now, their hearts were greatly touched.

The trivial days of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea made their hearts numb, but seeing the life of the Shi family, they were secretly delighted with a sense of superiority, and also sympathetic and helpless.

They can't do anything else, but it's okay to give them a few onions and a piece of garlic without saying a few words.
