Just in time for the truck delivering supplies to the troops tomorrow, the jars and other items were brought along. Song Yan also brought a jar of his homemade pickled vegetables to several families, including Division Commander Zhao. He gave two jars to Division Commander Zhao, asking him to pass one jar on to Deputy Division Commander Fang.

Qiu Hai and his group were a bit dumbfounded.

The driver relayed a message: tell these kids to go dig for wild vegetables.

There are over thirty jars of all sizes!

Along with the package came a large parcel and half a bag of chili peppers. Qiu Hai opened it and saw that everyone who sent something had a label on it! Besides sugar and salt, there were also things for Song Yan. He figured it was hard work for her to make those things; he couldn't let her work for nothing.

A new women's shirt, four jin of yarn, and two jin of flour. A gift from Qiu Hai's family.

A new piece of cloth, a new women's military uniform, and five jin of cornmeal. From Wang Jinhui's family.

A military overcoat and two jin of flour. It belonged to Xu Liangsheng's family.

These items were given with great care, and they are all things that Song Yan can use.

These days, wearing a military uniform or overcoat, even if it's not brand new, is a matter of great pride. If there's someone in the military in your family, which relative wouldn't want a uniform? They just don't have one. A crisp, white shirt like that is something to be envied.

Of course, the wild vegetables Song Yan used were all from his spatial dimension, not ordinary wild vegetables, and their quality couldn't be measured by these things.

But on the surface, there seemed to be too much of this stuff. Song Yan decided to ask a few of them for their addresses so she could mail them some local specialties when she got back, since she had plenty of those anyway.

Starting today, these kids will be digging for wild vegetables every day.

Fang Shengjie simply bought a few jars from the local villagers. They didn't have sugar or salt, so this was clearly a way to get a bargain.

Fang Shengjie was a little embarrassed.

Qiu Hai: "All the jars in my house are bigger than theirs, and I brought a lot more sugar and salt. You can use them. You can help me dig wild vegetables!"

It seems they struggled to dig up even half a basket of dirt from one person, while Song Yan could carry back a whole sack. The difference is truly enormous.
