The soup in the kitchen casserole was tumbling, and the rich aroma of pork knuckles filled the room.

"These two pork knuckles were originally going to be given to Captain Xie of the Tobacco Bureau, but they went around and returned to their own hands." Smelling the aroma of meat, Yin Huaxing's thoughts drifted back to the past full of twists and turns.

Yin Huaxing is a self-employed entrepreneur in Jiuzhi Township, Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, who runs a small retail store that mainly sells cigarettes, alcohol, non-staple food and other goods.

In 2021 years, Yin Huaxing, who was over half a hundred years old, suffered a serious back injury due to a sudden car accident and suffered in the hospital bed for two years. finally recovered, but the burden of his family's livelihood and the debts owed for treatment were like two invisible mountains, which overwhelmed him.

Relying on his own small shop, Yin Huaxing firmly believes that as long as he works hard and lives seriously, there is no hurdle that he cannot pass. However, life is always full of uncertainties. A few years ago, the government expropriated his family's land to build a reservoir and compensated him for a resettlement house in Jiuzhi Township. At that time, he did not relocate the shop because of the steady flow of customers during the construction of the reservoir. However, with the completion of the reservoir and the departure of workers, most of the local residents have been relocated to Jiuzhi Township due to land expropriation, the business of the shop has plummeted, and the income has been dwindling, and the family's food and clothing may become a problem.

"At that moment, it was as if I was shrouded in darkness, I lost my way forward, and I didn't know what to do." Recalling that time, Yin Huaxing's eyes were full of helplessness and confusion.

Just when there was no way out, nine squadrons of the Hejiang County Tobacco Monopoly Bureau appeared. In 8/0, the monopoly personnel of the nine squadrons walked into Yin Huaxing's increasingly deserted store during a routine inspection. Looking at the surrounding deserted environment, the squadron personnel learned of Yin Huaxing's predicament after inquiring in detail. Squadron leader Xie Xiaobo quickly organized personnel to verify the situation of Yin Huaxing's family and discuss the feasibility of fixed-point assistance.

They patiently helped Yin Huaxing sort out the process of handling the disability certificate and other related documents, accompanied him to the relevant departments for consultation, and actively assisted Yin Huaxing in applying for a new business license and tobacco monopoly retail license, and successfully relocated the business address to Jiuzhichang Town with a better location and greater passenger flow. After the opening of the new store, the tobacco company took Yin Huaxing as a key service guide, increased the frequency of visits, provided professional guidance, and the business of the new store gradually got on the right track.

Yin Huaxing was very grateful to the nine squadrons in his heart, and he was always thinking about sending something to express his heart.

"Pork knuckles are a good thing for us to entertain guests during the New Year, so I thought that Captain Xie and them could eat it to express my gratitude in my heart, but I was afraid that they would not accept it." Yin Huaxing came to the nine squadrons with two waxed pig's feet. Sure enough, as he expected, although Captain Xie and the others were very moved, they resolutely refused to accept the pig's feet, and let Yin Huaxing take them home.

A few days later, Yin Huaxing, who was unwilling, took the pork knuckles to the tea garden next door to the nine squadrons and entrusted the owner of the tea garden to hand them over anonymously. He was full of hope that this intention would be accepted, imagining that Captain Xie and the others would be able to eat their own pork feet.

However, things didn't go the way he envisioned. After Captain Xie received the pig's feet, after inquiring about them, he finally returned them to Yin Huaxing. Xie Xiaobo said sincerely: "Serving you is what we should do, how can we accept your things, go back and stew the pig's feet, and replenish the child's body." ”

"They helped me in my most difficult time, and they thought about me everywhere, which made me really feel warm and caring." Yin Huaxing said gratefully.

Later, Yin Huaxing discussed with his family and customized a pennant with the words "Serve the people, be honest and dedicated" to the nine squadrons, in order to express his most sincere gratitude and respect.

Nowadays, Yin Huaxing's small shop business is getting better and better, and the days are getting more and more promising. The two pig's feet that could not be sent out became a warm memory in his heart, guiding him to continue to pass on this true feeling in the days to come. (Chen Kai, Li Sisi, Wang Zimei)
