Chapter 72 Talking with Uncle Gao



Feng Lingyu brought Gao Xiaotao to the armed forces department and asked a staff member. After the staff member knew that Feng Lingyu was the child of a martyr, his attitude was very nice.

The transfer of her grain and oil account was processed quickly. "Take this booklet and you will use it to collect your salary every month. You can go directly to the finance office to collect your salary this month."

The staff member was also a little envious, as she could receive 30 yuan and various receipts every month, which was higher than the salary for her position.

After receiving the money, Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao went to the post office. The package sent by Gao Dashu should be arriving soon, and they also wanted to call back to report that they were safe.

"Hello, I want to make a phone call." Feng Lingyu said to the post office staff.

"60 cents a minute."

Feng Lingyu called Gao Dashu's steel factory. He should be at work at that time.

"Hello, I'm looking for Gao Dashu from your factory's purchasing department."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Not long after, a familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Xiaoyu?"

"It's me, Uncle Gao. Xiao Tao and I have arrived safely in Qingshan Village."

"That's good, that's good. I sent you a big package with everything in it. Don't be stingy. Tell me if you need anything. Minghui has a lot of good stuff."

Listening to Uncle Gao's words, Feng Lingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry, I know. Uncle Gao, how is your work going? And Minghui, is there any problem with him?"

Gao Dashu whispered, "I'm fine. I gave the director some money, and I'll be responsible for the purchases in the Northeast from now on. The food you left is enough to last until next year, but I'll try to come over before it snows there and bring you some things.

Minghui has been doing very well these days. Thanks to the food, many customers from other districts have been attracted to him."

Feng Lingyu was still a little worried: "Uncle Gao, you still have to remind him to be careful of Master Feng. A tall tree attracts the wind, so it's best to make a fortune quietly."

"From now on, I will send you a package and money bills every month. I will put the money bills in an envelope and send them to you. Remember to come and pick them up."

Feng Lingyu: "By the way, has Zhang Weiming made any unusual moves recently? And is there any news about that guy called Brother Liu?"

"Zhang Weiming goes to work as normal every day. I haven't noticed anything different. There is no news about Brother Liu yet. Minghui said that they are only checking one district at a time."

"Okay, Uncle Gao, I have nothing more to say. You must take good care of yourself and put your own safety first. You must carry the medicine I left for you with you. It can save your life in a critical moment. I'll give the phone to Xiao Tao."

Gao Xiaotao was looking at them eagerly, she missed her father. But she knew that what Xiaoyu said to her father was very important, so she just kept watching them eagerly.

"Here, I'll wait for you outside. Don't be in a hurry, talk slowly." Feng Lingyu handed the microphone to Gao Xiaotao and turned to leave.

When the staff outside saw Feng Lingyu coming out, they couldn't help but say, "Comrade, it costs 60 cents a minute. Since you have so much to say, it's better to write a letter."

Knowing that the staff member meant well, Feng Lingyu smiled and said, "If it's important, call quickly. Otherwise, by the time the letter arrives, the matter might be over."

The staff member thought about it and stopped talking. As long as he could afford the money, it didn't matter how long she talked.

After a while, Gao Xiaotao came out with red eyes and spoke in a muffled voice: "Xiaoyu, the call is over."

Feng Lingyu said comfortingly, "Don't cry. Didn't Uncle Gao say that he would find a chance to come over? Comrade, how much is the total?"

"I spoke for 12 minutes, and the total fee was seven dollars and twenty cents."

Those who were queuing up to make phone calls were secretly amazed. Wow, it cost so much money to make a call. It seemed that the person was an educated youth from the city.

After picking up the package at the post office, Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao parted ways.

"Xiao Tao, let's split up. You go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and I'll go to the grain and oil store and the butcher shop. We'll meet at the state-owned restaurant later."

After sending Xiao Tao away, Feng Lingyu wandered around the commune alone. Since Tuanjie Commune was a municipal commune, it was quite prosperous, almost like a small county town.

When we got to the meat stall, there were only some pig's trotters, offal and the like left on the wooden board.

"Comrade, if you want to buy meat, you have to come earlier. At this time, the good meat has already been snatched up." The butcher kindly reminded Feng Lingyu when he saw her standing in front of the stall.

"How much are these pig's trotters and spareribs?"

The pig's trotters and spareribs are also very fragrant after being cooked, and are no worse than pure meat. Feng Lingyu plans to buy some to take back.

"If you want them, these four pig's trotters are 3 yuan plus a pound of meat coupons, and the spareribs are 60 cents a pound."

Seeing that Feng Lingyu really wanted it, the butcher gave a fair price.

In fact, there are still people who want to buy pig's trotters. In some wealthy families, women have to stew pig's trotters to increase milk production after giving birth, so the price is more expensive than pork ribs and requires meat tickets.

Spare ribs are very cheap, 0.2 cents cheaper than normal meat, and no meat ticket is required.

Feng Lingyu: "Okay, pack up the pig's trotters and spareribs for me. I want them all."

"Okay, I'll weigh it. There are seven pounds of spareribs, and they cost four dollars and twenty cents, no ticket required. The pig's trotters cost three dollars plus a pound of meat ticket."

The butcher wrapped the pig's trotters and spareribs with oil paper and took the money from Feng Lingyu. "Take care. Remember to come earlier next time when you want to buy meat."

With so much meat plus the meat in the space, it will be enough to eat for a long time.

The pigs in Feng Lingyu's space have given birth to piglets, and Feng Lingyu is going to kill the two big pigs for meat. The two pigs have been well fed and well cared for in the space, and have gained a lot of weight in the past few days, and are estimated to weigh about 400 kilograms.

Just buy some meat outside, and then add some meat from the space when eating. Anyway, Gao Xiaotao doesn’t know what kind of meat is bought, and Feng Lingyu has the final say on what kind of meat is available.

Feng Lingyu also went to the grain and oil store and bought some food that she didn't have in her space, such as millet, glutinous rice, etc.

Looking at his watch, Feng Lingyu felt that it was about time, so he came to an empty alley and took out a large package from the space.

She had prepared this package in advance. It contained all sorts of things. Together with the things Gao Xiaotao bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, it would probably be enough for the two of them to use for several months.

After Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao reunited, they found that Xiaotao had bought a lot of things as well.

The two had no choice but to give up the idea of going to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. They bought a few meat buns and carried their things back to the car.

After a while, Sun Yiming and his friends came back. They bought a lot of things and soon filled up the ox cart.

Everyone had to sit together.
