Chapter 260 News from Fengze Garden
But it's too late to say anything regretful now.

Knowing that he couldn't fool the girl, Yan Bugui had to go back home, took out another stack of money from the cabinet, and handed it to his wife with a painful look on his face.

"Here, go donate money with Zhang's wife and the others today.

It’s rare that the neighbors are worried.”

When Aunt Yan saw the RMB sent by her husband, her mouth twitched and her face was full of pain.

Old neighbors like Jia Zhang and He Daqing laughed when they saw that Yan Bugui had the same idea as they did and that Jia Zhang had exposed him.

Then he invited everyone to go out together.

Except for Aunt Yan who looked unhappy, a group of people soon came to the street government, chatting and laughing.

As soon as we turned the corner of the alley, we saw neighbors lining up in a long queue at the gate of the street government, carrying large and small bags on their shoulders or in their hands.

Tian Zao, Dayong and several street government staff were outside maintaining order.

Seeing He Yuzhu and the others coming to line up, Tian Zao immediately ran over.
"Zhu Zi, hurry up and stop queuing.

I'll take you in to donate the stuff first, then you go back to the branch and tell Brother Lin to drive the truck over to take the stuff away.

If we wait any longer, our street government won’t be able to store any more.”

After hurriedly speaking to He Yuzhu, Tian Zao explained the reason to the people in the front line.
The neighbors also knew that He Yuzhu had been driving a truck to deliver goods every day for the past two months.
They all expressed their understanding very kindly.

Seeing that no one was willing to donate, He Yuzhu called He Daqing and the deaf old lady to go to the street government to donate money.
But just as he took a step, he heard Jia Zhang yelling,
"Zhu Zi, why don't you take us in with you? It's too cold today."

Just as Jia Zhang finished speaking, before He Yuzhu could refuse, the neighbors in front of her did not indulge her and directly retorted.

"You're not the only one who's cold, aren't we all queuing here to get some fresh air,

So what if you are so precious?

If you want to donate, get in line. If you don't want to donate, get out of here. Why are you making so much trouble?"

"Yes, Zhuzi has something important to do. He has to transport all the clothes and food we donated to the warehouse for safekeeping.

Otherwise we wouldn't have allowed him to cut in line.

You, Jia Zhang, just give up! Just stand in line and wait for me."

……

After being scolded by the neighbors, Jia Zhang, who was in a good mood early in the morning because she had cheated Yan Bugui, immediately became gloomy.

But in front of so many people, she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
I had to keep it in my heart.

Aunt Yan, who was cheated by her, couldn't help but sneer when she saw this situation, and said in her heart, "You deserve it."

At this time, He Yuzhu and his son were carrying food and took the deaf old lady to the street government to find Li Hongying.

When the money and food of the father and son were registered,

The deaf old lady then took out a small cloth package from her pocket and handed it to Li Hongying.

"Director Xiao Li, this is all the money I have left in my life. I will donate it to the State Council to buy airplanes from the Russians and beat up those Western devils."

When Li Hongying saw the cloth bag handed over by the deaf old lady, she thought it was RMB or something.

But when I took it, I felt that it was hard.

However, during this period, many patriotic businessmen in Daxia and overseas were actively donating money, including gold and silver. Li Hongying was not surprised.

As he opened the cloth bag and registered, he said,
"Old lady, you are too precious."

"Alas! You can't bring anything with you when you die, it's no big deal. Beating the foreigners is more important." When the neighbors in the queue heard Li Hongying say that the deaf old lady donated valuables, they immediately became curious.

When I saw the yellow stuff in the cloth bag, I immediately exclaimed,
"Wow! The old lady is really generous!"

"It's really a big deal. The old lady's small yellow croaker is probably enough to buy the supplies for half of the yard. The old lady is really rich."

"Hey, what do you know?
The old lady's family used to be a wealthy family in Nanluoguxiang. Although they had a misfortune later, Mr. Lou from the steel mill still gave the old lady living expenses every month.

He has a lot of retirement money, what's the value of a small yellow croaker?"

"Speaking of Mr. Lou, he bought 5 discounted bonds last year, and two days ago I heard that he donated more than million yuan to the Peking Military Control Commission to buy weapons.

Our Mr. Lou is really rich.
The reputation of Loubancheng is becoming more and more worthy of its reputation.”

……

While the neighbors were talking about it, Li Hongying had already put away the gold, and then looked at He Yuzhu and his son and said,

"Zhu Zi, when you first joined the branch two years ago, didn't you say you would go back to Fengze Garden to work?

Do you still have this idea now?"

When Li Hongying suddenly asked this, He Yuzhu knew that the State Council was going to acquire Fengze Garden, so he immediately replied,
"Yes, my family has inherited the art of cooking. I definitely want to go back to Fengze Garden to work.
Sister Hongying, from what you said, is there any news from Fengze Garden?"

Although He Daqing, who was standing nearby, had been paying attention to the developments in Fengze Garden over the past two years, he had never received any feedback.
At this time, after hearing the news about Fengze Garden from Li Hongying, he also asked,

"Director Li, how do you know about Fengze Garden?"

Seeing that both the father and son were very concerned, Li Hongying smiled and said,

"We, the Beiping Military Control, have actually been in contact with the shareholders behind Fengze Garden, hoping to acquire Fengze Garden.
It's just that the shareholders have always disagreed.

This was not a great victory on the front line, the Volunteer Army pushed the United Nations forces back to the southern part of the peninsula,

The shareholders gradually gave in when they saw that the situation was unreversible, as the union and the labor and capital were both in the interests.

The two sides are now discussing the specific details.

I think it won’t be long before the ownership of Fengze Garden will be in the hands of the Military Control Commission, and the time for reopening is not far away.”

Although Li Hongying's words were very tactful,

But He Yuzhu and his son both heard that the shareholders of Fengzeyuan had always fantasized that Baldy could fight back.
Now that the joint forces are unable to do anything to the Volunteer Army, this hope is naturally shattered.
The only choice is to sell Fengze Garden.

But this is good news for He Yuzhu and his son. The chefs at Fengzeyuan can't make as much money as the steel mill.

And He Yuzhu had to return to Fengzeyuan to become a formal chef.

Only when I return from the front line can I go to work in Fengze Garden smoothly.

Then, He Yuzhu began to thank Li Hongying.

"Thank you, Sister Hongying.

But I'd like to trouble you to keep an eye on Fengze Garden. I'm busy transporting things every day and I really don't have the energy to do that."

"No problem, Zhuzi, I'll take care of it.

By the way, Zhuzi, go talk to Lin Zheng and drive over here to transport the stuff. We are running out of space right now."

"Okay, Sister Hongying, I'll go right away."
