He Yuzhu thought about this and stopped training. He waded barefoot in the water to cool down. He also put the fish he had just caught into his bag. This was a rare good thing! Since the meat shortage and even canned food began to be rationed, there were many more people holding fishing rods waiting by the lakes around the capital. Even if he could only barely get fish, it was better than eating thin cornmeal porridge every day.

In the past, Mr. Yan Sanye had a comfortable life. He would occasionally fish in his spare time. He would sell the big ones to the iron factory in exchange for fish soup to improve his family's income, and share the small ones with others. But in difficult times, fishing became more and more frequent and took longer and longer. Look at this morning, he went out early and came back in the evening, and he only brought back a few pitiful fish fry. Nowadays, too many people have joined the ranks of fishermen.

The country has stepped up fishing operations along the coast, which seems to have achieved remarkable results. However, due to the distribution to all parts of the country, the actual amount allocated to each household is very small. In addition, military supplies are given priority, so ordinary citizens do not have many opportunities to enjoy these seafood. Only large steel mills like ours can get some seafood as employee benefits during festivals. The most common ones are hairtail and mackerel.

After cooling down, He Yuzhu simply stopped the exercise, returned to reality and lay on the bed, reviewing what he had done today and reflecting deeply.

Only by constantly reviewing your own shortcomings can you hope to improve. Only by constantly correcting yourself can the risk of mistakes be gradually reduced.

At first, he thought that it was the Yi family and the Jia family who instigated Bang Geng to betray, but when he woke up the next day, he found that neither family had any reaction. "This Bang Geng is so bold that he actually betrayed his teammates at such a young age and colluded with the outside world."

He Yuzhu said dissatisfiedly, and then pretended to be ignorant. "If it was during the Anti-Japanese War, he would be an absolute traitor."

After he sorted out his thoughts, he started his daily chores, such as washing, going to the toilet, and preparing breakfast. Breakfast was quite simple, with the leftover white rice and coarse grains from yesterday cooked into a sticky porridge, plus some pickled vegetables, which was considered a good treat. Thinking of the children's growth needs, He Yuzhu decided to use the four cooked eggs exchanged in the points mall and hide one in each child's body to improve the quality of breakfast.

Sure enough, after He Yushui, Li Anxin and Li Anyi dressed up, they sat around the table and prepared to enjoy the meal. Looking at the white eggs, the three of them couldn't help drooling. "Brother, did you really buy the eggs?"

He Yushui asked in surprise.

"Shh...don't be so loud,"

He Yuzhu covered the corners of his lips with his fingers, "When we have delicious food, we should try to hide it and enjoy it by ourselves. Don't tell others, otherwise they will all come to ask for food, and then there will be no share for us."

The two sisters nodded, and He Yushui took the eggs, handed the first one to her brother, and the second one to her sisters. The three of them were waiting for the delicious food to arrive with anticipation on their faces.

In Chinese imitation:

Li Anxin and Li Anyi were standing nearby. The two sisters whispered to each other secretly, "Eat quickly, or else it will be bad if someone sees you."

Li Anxin quickly said, "Brother Zhu, we can just drink tea and porridge, no need to be extravagant."

In these difficult times, she was lucky to have enough to eat, and she knew she had to save money and not be too extravagant.

, He Yuzhu emphasized with a gentle smile.

He Yushui said to Li Anyi: "Sister-in-law, just listen to your elder brother. He will make you fat, and then you can give me a strong nephew."

After saying that, He Yushui quickly peeled the egg and put it in her bowl.

Li Anxin blushed shyly as she realized her mission - to expand the He family. She did not refuse and savored the eggs slowly, bit by bit, making a secret decision in her heart.

He Yuzhu nodded with relief when he saw this: "This is not right."

He picked up Li Anyi's eggs again and peeled off the shells with skillful movements, while advising, "Hurry up, Yu Shui, and put these shells away after peeling them, so that no one can find them."

"no problem."

He Yushui was busy with the egg in his hand, and almost choked when he pecked at it with his big mouth. Fortunately, he quickly took a breath and took a mouthful of porridge to relieve the pain, then he successfully swallowed it.

After the four of them finished the last egg on the plate, even eating the eggshell, the Jia family realized that the stick was missing!

"Someone come, the stick is gone!!"

Jia Zhang's hoarse cries immediately caused a commotion in the yard.

The scream immediately plunged the entire yard into silence.

“The stick is missing? Is that true?”

"The stick is not small, how can it just disappear?"

"It was fine last night, but it disappeared this morning?"

"Uncle San, was the door unlocked last night?"

"Impossible! I locked it myself!"

"How is this going?"

"Maybe Stick was naughty and ran away at dawn?"

"I have to study this Monday. Are you skipping school?"

"That's true. I remember it skipping school to play a few times before."

Everyone was talking at once, putting down their bowls and crowding into the yard to join in the fun.

As Jia Dongxu's master, Yi Zhonghai certainly could not fall behind and quickly rushed to the scene to inquire.

"Sister Jia, what happened?"

"We didn't find the stick this morning, so we searched everywhere inside and outside, but our grandson... was gone!"

Jia Zhang's voice was filled with panic.

Xu Damao sneered at the side and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, could it be that he doesn't want to go to school again and is skipping classes to play?" His face was full of smugness.

"What nonsense! My grandson studies very hard, there is no way he would skip classes!"

Jia Zhang's face turned red and her neck became thick as she retorted.

In fact, most people in the yard also have the same idea: it is common for children to not want to go to school. It is not the first time for a first-grade child like Gunbang to skip class early.

Even Yi Zhonghai began to wonder if he didn't go to school because he was angry because he wasn't allowed to eat braised pork last night.

He comforted her, "Mrs. Jia, don't panic. Let's look for him together. The child is so smart, there must be nothing wrong with him."

Normally everyone would agree with this statement, but it is different now. Everyone has to rush to work early in the morning, so who would have extra time to help look for it?

"Master, we are also in a hurry to get to work, why don't you search slowly."

"That is to say, just keep busy."

Everyone echoed in unison.

At this time, the second master Liu Haizhong slowly walked into the yard.

This person has his hands behind his back, looking like a leader.

"Brother Yi, what everyone said makes sense."

He said, "The key is to focus on work and do our best to contribute to the development of the country."

"Little Bangbang isn't a kid anymore. He's always been smart. He must have not eaten enough last night, so he went out to play out of spite."

"In my opinion, your stomach will growl loudly during lunch and it will naturally return to normal." This statement immediately resonated with the people around him.

"That's right, Uncle is absolutely right!"

"Uncle San just said that the door was locked. He must have sneaked out of the house early in the morning."

"That's right. Everyone is still busy at work. Who has the time to look for someone?"

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhang's expression became obviously very serious.

However, after hearing what Liu Haizhong said, even her grandmother couldn't help but think: Maybe I was really too nervous.

In fact, she was not the only one who felt this way, Qin Huairu also agreed with him.

"Mom, I'll go look for it later and ask other aunties who are not working to help. I believe everything will be fine."

After finishing speaking, Qin Huairu glanced at Liu Haizhong and said, "Second Uncle, you are of great importance in our courtyard. Please help me with this matter."

Faced with the obvious effect of flattery, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel a little flattered: "Work is of course important, but those who don't need work can make an effort to find one, and I will arrange it properly."

"Thank you very much, Uncle is really considerate."

Qin Huairu quickly handed over the "good guy card"

.

"As your second uncle, I just want to do more practical things for you, not to gain any power or position." Liu Haizhong raised his chin proudly, straightened his body, and continued, "Okay, everyone should do what they should do step by step. Those who go to work don't have to disperse to look for alleys."

Although the rank of this housekeeper was not high, and in ancient times he was only a clerk, his words were still important. Those who did not need to go to work finished their own work and went out to look for someone, but no one took this as a big deal. In fact, most of them used the name of looking for someone to do their own private business.

He Yuzhu was not interested in intervening in these trivial matters. After returning to the room and finishing breakfast, He Yuzhu smiled as he watched He Yushui and Li Anxin rush to wash the dishes, and secretly put a lunch box into He Yushui's backpack. "Sister..."

He Yushui knew at first glance that it was filled with food.

"Shh! Just get it, don't shout." He Yuzhu rubbed He Yushui's head, smiled and whispered.

"Then what about my sister-in-law and the others..." He Yuzhu immediately hid the lunch box and packed it into He Yushui's schoolbag.

"I'll arrange this later."

He assured with a smile.

"Haha... Xie brother, you are so nice!" He Yushui mistakenly thought that even Li Anxin and Li Anyi got lunch, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I'm your brother, so of course I have to treat you well." After saying this, He Yuzhu hurriedly urged, "Leave early if you have nothing to do. Be careful on the road and avoid the crowds, remember?"

"remember!"

He Yushui quickly packed his schoolbag, waved goodbye to his two friends, and embarked on his journey to school.

"If you want to study, you can ask Director Wang for help."

He Yuzhu suggested.

"No, Brother Zhuzi, I really don't need to go to school." Li Anxin shook her head quickly. The life she had these days was beyond her dreams, let alone more extravagant wishes.

"Well, let me help you tutor and pass on the knowledge you have to An Yi. At least she should receive education in order to improve her future."

He Yuzhu didn't let them go to school, otherwise they would be too conspicuous. "If An Xin doesn't want to go, then don't go, but An Yi must go to school and acquire knowledge, so that she can change the trajectory of her life."
