After tidying up the house, Chen Ruixue returned to the chicken farm.

When she returned, she was carrying a large number of bags and packages, mainly because Gu Tinghui had sent his guards to deliver a batch of supplies to her.

These days, everyone eats government-supplied food, but Chen Ruixue and her group can't get proper government-supplied food.

Their status dictated that the food they received wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.

You can't even buy genuine products on the market without fighting for them.

Reselling is no longer allowed. Supplies are scarce, and everything depends on coupons. Moreover, many coupons are unavailable, like those for Chen Ruixue.

There's simply no way there could be tickets.

If Ouyang Zhenyu were still around, we could use his votes; now that he's gone, the number of votes we have is dwindling.

Gu Tinghui solved a major problem for Chen Ruixue.

After all, there are some things that are simply unavailable for purchase, such as daily necessities, soap, and food.

There was no oil or anything like that.

You should know that people who receive government-supplied grain only get two ounces of oil coupons a month.

Meat, eggs, and vegetables were all subject to rationing. For example, each family and individual didn't even have enough meat coupons for half a jin (250 grams) of meat.

This was a great success. Chen Ruixue originally didn't want to tell Gu Tinghui about it, as it would be beneath her dignity.

Besides, she didn't want to owe Gu Tinghui such a big favor just because of her desire to talk.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tinghui sent someone to deliver a bunch of things to her, and when she went to the chicken farm, he even had someone personally take her back.

They were escorted by a jeep and two uniformed soldiers.

Even if others see it, they won't dare to gossip about their wives.

When they brought this pile of things into the dormitory, everyone was stunned, as it was their nighttime rest period.

I didn't expect to see Chen Ruixue bring in so many things.

Although they eat in the cafeteria each month, the cafeteria's meal tickets are rationed.

Each person only received two liang (approximately 100 grams) of meal tickets and two mao (approximately 0.2 yuan) of vegetable tickets per meal.

If you want to eat more, you either have to spend your own money to buy meal tickets or food coupons, or you have to pay the canteen for food so that the canteen can cook for you.

Everyone looked on with envy when they saw what Chen Ruixue brought in. How could they not be envious?

I saw the soap neatly arranged in the net bag. These days, soap for washing clothes is hard to come by, and you have to use it sparingly if you have one.

Chen Ruixue brought the things in.

Everyone came up to help.

"Where have you been? Why did you bring all this stuff? Who brought it to you?"

Everyone knew that Chen Ruixue had been sent down here, but no one knew her true identity.

"The people who brought me here are from the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in our military reclamation area. My wife's brother lives there, and I couldn't refuse their kindness, so they helped me get some things and sent them over."

Everyone understood what was going on after hearing this; with someone like that coming to deliver it, Chen Ruixue probably wouldn't suffer any loss.

Chen Ruixue took the things out of her pocket.

"Come, come, I know you're missing some things, so I asked my older brother to find these for you."

This brown sugar is divided into two-ounce packets. Anyone who wants one can ask me for a packet.

Let's not take tickets, just pay the money.

And this soap, look, I brought this big net bag not just for myself, but for everyone.

And this is a cotton glove.

These are things that everyone uses normally, but here they only get one pair of gloves every six months as part of their labor insurance.

Those cotton gloves were worn out and in terrible condition, but we had to keep wearing them until the time came for them to be delivered.

Even if they wanted to buy something, there was nowhere to buy anything nearby; the only small, run-down shop there often had nothing to sell.

Every time I buy something, I have to travel hundreds of miles.

What you can buy depends entirely on luck.

Chen Ruixue's precise delivery of items that women could use drew cheers from everyone.

"Xiao Chen, you're so kind! You're like Guanyin Bodhisattva, saving us from suffering."

"You have no idea I haven't been able to buy soap for two months. I've been washing all my clothes with wood ash."

"And this brown sugar, the health team only issues it to patients with sick leave certificates. How could we possibly have a sip of it normally?"

Everyone was excited, chattering away. Everyone got a share, and Chen Ruixue didn't need a ticket.

They did each other an incredible favor.

"There's more good stuff here, let's see what it is."

Chen Ruixue opened the military green handbag, and a group of old women rushed up to her.

They cheered as soon as they saw something.

This is the kind of thinner, cottonier toilet paper and sanitary pads that women use.

These things can't be bought these days; you have to rely on the factory to provide them as work protection insurance.

Women have a very hard life.

Everyone blushed instantly. Everyone knew that Chen Ruixue was pregnant, and these things must have been specially prepared for them by Chen Ruixue.

Even if we had disagreements in the past, nothing has happened now.

Everyone received what they wanted; basically, everyone got a portion of brown sugar, along with soap and toilet paper.

Everyone there was completely content.

Despite being a group of older women, not one of them was greedy for small gains; they all honestly gave the money to Chen Ruixue.

Chen Ruixue then handed two more packets of milk powder to Sister Wei.

"Sister Wei, this is for your daughter-in-law. You always said that your eldest grandson was born without milk, and he's crying for food."

Since I couldn't get the milk powder coupon, I casually asked around and they said they had milk powder, so I gave you two packs first.

I've already spoken to my husband's older brother; if he comes across any more baby formula, he'll send some over for us.

She still had to work at the chicken farm for a long time, and she didn't know when Ouyang Zhenyu would come back.

Therefore, it is essential to maintain good relationships with those around you.

These days, it's not about giving things away for free or doing work for others; it's about having value. Her value lies in helping people solve their material difficulties.

As expected, all these things today touched everyone's hearts. Although everyone had paid for them, no one was grateful to Chen Ruixue.

Moreover, Chen Ruixue was treated differently, since she was so capable of getting these things, she could certainly get other things as well.

These days, people with connections are naturally extraordinary. Their dormitory was bustling with activity that night.

The next morning, not only did someone automatically fill Chen Ruixue's thermos with hot water, but it also automatically filled her thermos with hot water.

Moreover, when Chen Ruixue went to work, everyone walked with her on the road, and they were always a large group of 11 people.

Even if Xiao Wu wanted to deal with Chen Ruixue again, she was a little scared by the scene. After all, if Chen Ruixue was ostracized, it wouldn't matter if she bullied Chen Ruixue, but now everyone was treating Chen Ruixue very well, which made it easy for her to be ostracized.

Chen Ruixue has finally established herself firmly in the chicken farm.
