Chapter 44: First aid 1
The old lady's eyes suddenly widened, and then she looked at Zhao Xiulan, and said to Zhao Xiulan with a trembling voice, "Daughter... This is... a meat bun?"
This year, it is rare to eat a steamed bun with white flour, let alone a meat bun. Needless to say, the preciousness of meat, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy meat to eat.
The old lady didn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten meat. After eating the meat bun, she only felt a burst of delicious aroma, and she wanted to swallow her tongue into her stomach.
But Zhao Xiulan gave her something so precious for free. The old lady didn't know how to express her gratitude to Zhao Xiulan for a while.
She really met a good person today. How could an ordinary person care about this dead old woman, and how could she give her something to eat?
Zhao Xiulan nodded, then made a silent gesture, and said to the old lady, "Well, it's a meat bun, Auntie, eat it quickly."
The smell of meat buns is relatively strong, and if people who come and go see it, it will be troublesome. After all, this is a black market, and everyone has it. The old lady knew what Zhao Xiulan meant, and quickly ate all the meat buns in her stomach.
The originally empty stomach felt a sense of fullness because of eating a big meat bun, and her whole person was also alive again, and she didn't feel the same dizziness as before.
The old lady took Zhao Xiulan's hand gratefully, "Daughter, thank you so much today, you saved my life! If it weren't for you, my old wife would have starved to death."
Seeing the old lady like this, Zhao Xiulan felt a little pitiful, and couldn't help but feel more sympathy.
This year, many people starved to death without food. This year and next year, the whole country is in a state of food shortage. I am afraid that many people will starve to death.
Zhao Xiulan's strength is limited, and she can only help others within her power.
I happened to meet this old lady today, and Zhao Xiulan saved her. If this is left alone, Zhao Xiulan can't do it, even in the last days, she can't persuade herself to give up saving her companions in such a dangerous situation.
Zhao Xiulan smiled and replied to the old lady, "Auntie, don't be too polite, don't take it to heart. Who hasn't had a problem these days?
I helped you today, and when I need help in the future, there will definitely be kind-hearted people to help me. "
The old lady nodded, "There are many good people in this world, girl, if you are so kind, there will be good rewards in the future."
Zhao Xiulan smiled slightly, ready to help the old lady, "Auntie, shall I take you back?"
Zhao Xiulan was really worried about the weak appearance of the old lady, so she proposed to send the old lady home.
Facing Zhao Xiulan's kindness, the old lady first thanked her, and then sighed, "Hey, girl, I won't hide it from you, I can't go back for the time being.
There is no food at home, and my wife, like me, is hungry.
If we don't get some food to go back, I'm afraid we both won't be able to survive for a day or two. Without your meat buns today, I'm afraid I would have starved to death.
So I had no choice but to try my luck on the black market to see if I could exchange some food. "
After listening to the old lady's words, Zhao Xiulan couldn't help being moved.
How many people face such helplessness these days?
"Auntie, do you want to buy food? It's just right, I have it here, or I'll sell it to you, so you don't have to ask." Zhao Xiulan's space is full of food, just take out a little, see the old lady With such a pitiful appearance, Zhao Xiulan thought that since she helped, she should help to the end.
