Actually, these are just food coupons issued internally by the factory and to units with which they have good relationships. The main reason for issuing them is to prevent people from giving them all at once, as they might not be able to eat them all and they would spoil and go to waste. That's why they issue food coupons; you can just exchange them for food when you want to eat it.
Zhong Wanwan's family definitely needs to prepare extra candy, otherwise there won't be enough to share with these little ones.
She was very kind to the children on the farm. Whenever Wei Youliang brought a child over with candy or cookies from home, she would always share a piece with them.
These kids treated her well too, providing her with firewood from their homes, half-sized fish caught from the river, vegetables from their homes, or wild fruits found in the mountains.
If the children are found, they are all sent to her first.
Moreover, because she fed the children, the people on the farm became increasingly kind to her.
Now, whenever she goes out, villagers will call out to Zhong Wanwan from a distance.
Wei Youliang, in a sycophantic manner, said:
"Master Zhong, you're out of firewood, aren't you? I'll bring the brothers to deliver some to you in a few days!"
"It sounds like a meeting between bandit leaders," Zhong Wanwan said indulgently.
"Okay, deliver it!"
Actually, her family has plenty of firewood. With so many children giving it to them, and the siblings using it as much as they want, it'll last until next spring!
But if the kids are willing to give it to her, then she'll leave it there. She'll bake more potatoes; she'll need them sooner or later!
Upon receiving Zhong Wanwan's confirmation, Wei Youliang was overjoyed, his gap-toothed smile fully revealed. He ran over to share the good news with the little ones.
Upon hearing the news, the little radishes jumped for joy and scattered in all directions to start picking up small fish and shrimp.
Director Wei had heard what Zhong Wanwan said, and seeing the children enthusiastically picking up things, he was quite pleased.
But he complained to Zhong Wanwan:
"You, you, why give them so much candy? Two pieces each to sweeten their mouths is already quite generous, why give them ten more? You've spoiled them!"
Zhong Wanwan said happily:
"Anyway, only Xiaobaiyang in our family eats these. Songbai and I don't eat them either, so it's better to give them to the kids. Seeing them cheer makes me happier than if I ate them myself!"
These days, every family is very protective of their children. Director Wei is no exception. He's happier giving food to his grandson than eating it himself!
He pointed at Zhong Wanwan and sighed:
"You're just inflating prices. Now, even if I offer a piece of candy to someone who's willing to run errands for me, they won't do it. They'll complain that I'm not as generous as you!"
This was just a joke. Zhong Wanwan didn't give out many candies. These kids don't usually have snacks. If they get even one piece of candy to run an errand, they'll be jumping for joy!
The two were talking to the children when they heard Brother Wei say anxiously:
"Dad, Master Zhong, Youliang, please bring the older kids and come help! There are too many fish in this net, we can't pull it!"
Uncle Maisui, Zhong Songbai, Xia Ning, and several others all helped pull it up. Everyone used all their strength, but they just couldn't pull the fish out of the net.
Zhong Wanwan thought to herself, "The first one to explode on the internet has finally arrived." She and Director Wei quickly ran over.
Zhong Wanwan forgot to stand in the middle and pull the net together, but instead called out the four "tractor drivers"—Wei Erge, Zhong Songbai, Xia Ning, and Li Xiaokun—to discuss the matter:
"You guys drive the tractor over here, tie the rope on, and follow my instructions. We're going to use the tractor to go up the net."
Seeing Wei Youliang standing at the front, Zhong Wanwan called out again:
"There's food here. You kids, stay away from the ice hole. Don't let it pull you down when things get a little slack!"
