"Uncle, listen to me, I've found a good job, it's a cadre position, the salary is not low, and my family will definitely have enough to eat in the future.

We both know the current situation in our village. Please keep the food for now. If it doesn't work out, I'll just lend it to you. You can return it to us when you have surplus food in the future!"

"Xiao Guang, is there really no shortage of food in your family?"

The family was really struggling to make ends meet, and Tian Sulan couldn't help herself.

The adults could still bear it, but the children cried because they were hungry at night, which made her, as a mother, feel very sad.

"Auntie, there's really no shortage. Didn't you see it when I came back on my tricycle today? The big bags in the truck bed were full of food.

Our two families have a good relationship, but I can't go hungry and send all the food to you, right?"

"You are telling the truth. You can keep the grain. I will lend it to you and return it after the autumn harvest.

I already owe your father so many favors, so one more won't make a difference."

Zhang Xiangyang is also a straightforward man. Seeing that Zhang Shuguang doesn't look like he is short of food, he stopped pretending to be rich.

"Xiao Guang, a total of 20 kilograms."

Since he said he would return it, he must return it. Zhang Xiangyang weighed the grain in front of Zhang Shuguang.

"Xiao Guang, we can't waste food. We need to be frugal. Did you use sweet potatoes to let the kids vent their anger on your brother today?"

This afternoon, my youngest son came home with a big sweet potato. When he asked, he found out what happened.

Zhang Xiangyang lamented that Zhang Shuguang had so many clever ideas, but at the same time he felt sorry for the sweet potatoes he had.

"Uncle, due to the influence of the past few years, my brother's character has become a little soft and cowardly, and I want to change that.

Compared to my own brother, what are those sweet potatoes? "

Zhang Shuguang said solemnly and seriously.

"You are an adult now, just know what's going on."

After all, he is not your own child, and if you talk too much, it will become annoying.

"Uncle, Madam, these candies are for Jianguo and the others to enjoy. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Zhang Shuguang stood up from the stool, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and put them on the table.

"No, that won't do. I'll keep the food, but I really can't take the candy. You can take it back and give it to Panpan."

Food is life-saving, and he remembered this favor, but Zhang Xiangyang would not accept milk candy, which was expensive and did not satisfy hunger.

"Uncle, Panpan and Shengli both have food to eat, so please stop arguing and stop giving them away."

Zhang Shuguang broke free from Zhang Xiangyang's hand and ran out with the backpack.

"This child is indeed Xiangnan's offspring. He is just as loyal and righteous as ever."

Zhang Xiangyang smiled helplessly, then went out and locked the door.

"The main one is not cornmeal, it's pure cornmeal."

Tian Sulan couldn't wait to open the bag of flour, and then she exclaimed.

"Don't people in the city also eat alternative food?"

Zhang Xiangyang looked at the golden cornmeal in the flour bag and fell into deep thought.

"Sulan, don't eat the cornmeal yet. Tomorrow, ask the eldest and second sons to go to the mill and grind some corn cobs to mix in."

They were almost unable to survive, so they dared not eat fine grains. They could survive for a few more days by mixing some corn cob powder into their diet.

"I know. If I add more of it and pair it with some wild vegetables, it should last until the autumn harvest."

There was a gleam of wisdom in Tian Sulan's eyes, and even if the third uncle came, he would have to call her an expert.

Nowadays, anyone who can be the head of a household must live frugally.

When Zhang Shuguang returned home, his family had already gone to bed. He tiptoed to his room and went to sleep with his clothes on.

What products will be refreshed in the system tomorrow? Zhang Shuguang fell asleep with anticipation.

Zhang Shuguang's family slept soundly, but none of the other families could sleep well.

"Boss, you and your son shouldn't go to work tomorrow. Go to the county town and find a job."

"You make it sound so easy. How can a job be so easy to find?"

"Why is it so hard to find a job? If Zhang Shuguang, a teenager, can find a job, what's wrong with our son?

I guess the county is short of workers now, otherwise how could such a good thing happen to him?

You didn't see Zhang Shuguang today, riding a three-wheeled rickshaw, looking so impressive."

Almost every household was talking about Zhang Shuguang having access to commercial grain.

Being able to eat commercial grain, besides its good reputation, the most important thing is being able to eat your fill.

Although the people in the city are now eating alternative food, at least they can fill their stomachs.

The factory also provides a meal at noon, and the saved food rations can be used to help the family.

The next morning, when Zhang Qingchun went to ask for leave, the captain's house was already crowded with people asking for leave.

"Stop daydreaming. There are only a few factories in the county, and they can't even find enough workers to fill the positions of those with county household registration. How can there be a shortage of workers?"

As soon as he opened the door in the morning, a group of young and strong members surrounded him and asked for leave, which scared Zhang Xiangyang.

"Captain, that's not the case. Zhang Shuguang, a landlord's son, can find a job, so why can't we?"

"Exactly, where are we missing?"

"In terms of strength, I'm bigger than him. In terms of family background, I'm cleaner than him. As for looks, the factory wants people who can work, not just looks, right?"

"Captain, you're not afraid that there won't be anyone working in the team, so you deliberately don't want us to be workers!"

They simply didn't listen to what the team leader said. The news that Zhang Shuguang became a worker had already spread yesterday, and anyone who was not too old became interested.
