Chapter 59: The Brigade Distributes Food

Song Jing's roommates hurried over to help squeeze the package in, and they all looked at him with curiosity.

Song Jing coughed: "I don't know either, let's take a look first."

"Oh, could it be your girlfriend, Squad Leader Song? I feel sorry for you for having so many things."

Song Jing glanced at them and said, "Don't talk nonsense about me not having a partner yet."

When I opened the package, all the things inside came into view instantly.

There are two large jars of mushroom sauce alone. Song Wei specifically looked for plastic jars because he was afraid that glass jars would be damaged during transportation.

Then there was a big bag of various dried mushrooms, a large bag of chestnuts and walnuts, a small bag of roasted pine nuts, and a small jar of honey.

Song Wei carefully wrapped the things in the cans with several layers of newspaper, for fear that they would be squeezed during transportation.

In addition, there was also a bag of mixed dried fruits that Song Wei picked up on the mountain.

"So many things?"

The first thing that attracted the attention of the roommates was the mushroom sauce. They took a bottle and opened it without any hesitation. The aroma of the mushroom sauce immediately wafted out.

"This thing is good, it goes well with rice, hehehe..."

"Captain Song, good brothers should share the happiness together."

Several roommates came over and looked at him with a smile.

Song Jing glared at them angrily: "I don't even know who sent it, put it down."

He opened the only letter in the package.

At first glance, you can tell who sent the item: his sister.

Song Wei spent a long time imitating the original owner's notes for this letter. He stuffed it into the package and sent it after he finished writing it.

Although Song Jing had not read the content of the letter yet, he had a bad feeling when he looked at those mountain products.

Sure enough, as he read on, the expression on his face became increasingly gloomy.

The roommates who were originally playing around fell silent, looked at each other, and finally looked at Song Jing.

Song Jing's fingers holding the letter turned white, and the letter paper became even more wrinkled.

"Captain Song, is there something wrong?"

Song Jing pursed his lips: "These things were sent by my sister. She has a job and shouldn't go to the countryside."

After hearing his words, everyone understood why Song Jing's expression was so ugly.

Although the slogan of going to the countryside sounds nice, they are all soldiers from the countryside and they know very well how hard farm work is. Moreover, in this era, being a worker, even if just a temporary worker, is a great honor.

Song Jing wanted to go back and see how his sister was doing. Even though Song Wei wrote cheerfully at the end of the letter that she liked her current life very much, Song Jing felt that his sister was just comforting him.

As for the allowance that should have been sent back, well... that family can forget about it.

Fortunately, his sister's letter arrived in time. He had planned to transfer the allowance back in two days.

At this time, Song Wei didn't know that after reading the letter, her brother really stopped giving money to his scumbag father's family, but he also took leave and prepared to travel thousands of miles to see her.

After a heavy rain, more mushrooms appeared in the forest, but it was already late autumn and there were not many edible wild vegetables.

Song Wei had already hung the peeled persimmons under the eaves to dry in the shade.

The mushrooms that were almost dried were put into a basket.

Today is a big day for the Ping'an Brigade because food is to be distributed.

Almost everyone went to the village threshing ground with their families. At this moment, their tanned faces were full of smiles and anticipation.

Song Wei also brought Heidan to join in the fun. Of course, it was not just for fun, but mainly because she had to buy some food to take back after everyone had distributed the food.

"How much is one work point this year?"

The members gathered together and started discussing.

"Five cents. This year, one work point is five cents."

"It's the same as last year."

"It's good enough if it's the same. I heard that the XX brigade has even reduced the price."

"How much food do you want to exchange for this year? We are preparing..."

Song Wei and Heidan mingled in the crowd, listening to everyone's discussion with their hands in their pockets like an old man.

Every time the captain called a household, someone would come forward and state clearly what kind of food they wanted to exchange. Most of them exchanged for coarse grains, because they were cheap, cost-effective and more filling.

Everybody likes to eat fine grains, but they are expensive and a luxury. A whole family needs a year's worth of food. Those with extra work points are willing to exchange some fine grains to improve their family's life, but most of the work points have to be exchanged for coarse grains. After exchanging enough for the family's food for a year, the remaining work points can be exchanged for some money.

Although the amount of fine grains exchanged was small, the team did not grow much fine grains either. Even if Song Wei and his friends went to buy them, the team could not give them too much.

"Captain, you calculated correctly, right? How can our family only get so few work points?"

The distribution of grain was obviously not smooth sailing.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When they heard that their family had only received so few work points, they immediately started to make a fuss.

Wow, this voice sounds familiar. She tiptoed to see that it was indeed her old acquaintance, Mrs. Niu.

At this moment, Mrs. Niu was making a scene with her family in front of the team leader, shouting that the scorekeeper must have taken her work points.

The scorer of their team was so angry that his face turned red.

That’s right, Mrs. Niu is from the third team and the scorer is Jiang Xiaowan.

Jiang Xiaowan felt insulted and her eyes turned red when being stared at by so many people.

"Who is greedy for your work points? Don't you have any idea of ​​how your family is doing? Your son doesn't work in the fields, and everyone else is lazy. You don't work seriously, and now you blame me!"

The village party secretary and his family also looked at Niu Pozi's family with dissatisfaction.

But Mrs. Niu refused to give in. She sat on the ground, slapped her thigh, and yelled that someone was bullying her, an old woman, and her family. She also shouted that she would go and report the team leader and his men.

Niu Po's daughter-in-law and daughter followed suit.

Although her son didn't act so violently, he just took it for granted that he enjoyed the efforts of the woman in the family.

Captain Jiang Xiaowan's family and other team leaders all looked distraught.

“Niu Cuihua!”

The captain roared, and immediately scared the person who was sitting on the ground and making a scene.

"Go ahead and sue!"

The captain pointed angrily at the entrance of the village.

"There are many people in our team who don't know what kind of person you are and what kind of person your family members are. Go ahead and sue me! I'll stand here today and wait to see what you can come up with!"

Others also looked at Niu Cuihua's family with contempt.

Seeing that the captain was really angry, Mrs. Niu and her family became scared.

At this time, Old Man Wang, the husband of Mrs. Niu, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and walked in. He pulled Mrs. Niu up and spoke to her in a ferocious tone.

"What are you making a fuss about? Do you have any right to make a fuss when the captain distributes food? Our family only has those few work points, so we can only get that little food. How can you be so ignorant, you bitch..."

Old man Wang yelled curses and then gave the captain a flattering smile.

"Captain, don't be angry that my wife is ignorant. We will divide the food according to your instructions."

The captain and the others watched him act coldly.

He didn't come when Niu Pozi and the others were making trouble, but now that he saw the captain was really angry, he came out to pretend to be a good person. How shameless! This family has no good morals! (End of this chapter)
