Lu Wensheng thought that he could grow food in his own space, so there was no need to ask for too much. Two months' worth would be sixty kilograms, so he decided to ask for more fine grains. After deciding, he was the first to speak:
"Captain Wang, my name is Lu Wensheng. Please weigh out 20 kilograms of flour, 20 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of cornmeal, and 10 kilograms of sweet potatoes for me."
Captain Wang saw that the girl mostly wanted fine grains and thought she didn't know how to make a living, so he kindly reminded her:
"Lu Zhiqing, why don't you take half of the coarse grains and half of the fine grains? This way you will have more to share and it will be enough to last until the end of the year when grain is distributed."
Lu Wensheng waved her hand to refuse. She didn't want to eat coarse grains.
Captain Wang saw that she had made up her mind and stopped trying to persuade her. He quickly weighed out the food for her and asked the next person
Han Muchen did not follow Lu Wensheng's example and asked for ten kilograms of flour, twenty kilograms of rice, thirty kilograms of cornmeal, and ten kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Here, ten kilograms of white flour can be exchanged for twenty kilograms of corn flour. Although his family receives subsidies, he eats with the old educated youth and thinks it is better to keep a low profile.
When it was Shen Lingling and Lu Hao's turn, they were still a little confused. Should they choose the same as "thick thighs"? Or the same as Han Muchen...
In the end, the two of them murmured and chose the same thing as Han Muchen. There was no way they could start the fire themselves, so they could only follow the crowd...
After distributing the grain and signing the documents, Li Erzhu did not go back with them. He was still thinking about the dining table at his third uncle's house, so after saying goodbye to a few people, he took the note to collect the rations and went straight to the house of Village Chief Li.
They were the only ones left at the brigade gate, staring at the food on the ground in wide eyes.
It was only 60 kilograms, so Lu Wensheng didn't take it seriously. He just threw it on his shoulder and walked back, with Han Muchen following closely behind.
Only Chen and Lu were left behind, each holding a bag, walking, stopping, and panting...
"Oh my god, my sister Lu is so amazing. How can such small arms and legs be so strong?" Lu Hao just walked about ten meters and squatted on the ground, panting and sighing.
"Everyone says that. Comparing yourself with others makes you feel nauseous. Shengsheng looks thinner than me!" Shen Lingling finally caught up and squatted with Ma Yingjie.
It feels like a pair of brothers in distress.
Lu Wensheng ignored them and quickly returned to the educated youth site carrying the bag. She had to go to the town soon.
As I walked, I was thinking about what to take out. First, I had to take a box. I locked up all the valuables, as well as pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and other things that were needed in the kitchen.
I also need some old newspapers, and I need to re-paste the wall next to her bedding. Then I need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cakes to eat when I don’t have time to cook…
Oh my goodness, why does life require so many things?
After putting the food away, Lu Wensheng suddenly remembered that she had to write a letter to Chen Cheng to report her safety. As for Lu Jiandang, since he was going to join the army, she might as well tell him his address. There were only a few days left, so she decided to mail another fifty yuan to Lu Jiandang and Lu Jianmin.
So while no one was paying attention, she took out a pen and paper from her space and started writing letters. The first one was to Chen Cheng:
First, she asked about his health, then about his work, and then mentioned what she had seen on the way to the countryside, and told him that she was living well here and asked him not to worry. If she had a holiday, she would go back to see him!
Finally, she said that she liked everything he prepared and that she had everything she needed here, so he could rest assured.
He also mentioned that there was another person named Han Muchen who went to the countryside with them and was also from Songcheng, and vaguely mentioned the other person's family background.
After finishing the letter to Chen Cheng, I started writing to Lu Jiandang. The letter to him was much simpler.
She told them that since they were in the army, they should work hard, follow Luye's example, and serve the country. She also told them to write to her if they needed anything.
After the ink dried, I took out two envelopes and put the letters in them, only to find that I didn't have stamps, so I had to go to the post office to buy some.
After packing up, he took his money and the letter and prepared to go to the commune.
She had a good memory and remembered the way she came. She changed into a pair of shoes suitable for traveling, carried a water bottle, took a hat from the space, put it on, and walked towards the commune.
When he went out, he happened to meet Shen Lingling and Lu Hao who were carrying food back. They were sweating all over their heads and bodies, and their faces were as dirty as kittens. Lu Hao saw that Lu Wensheng was dressed as if he was going out, so he quickly asked:
"Sister Lu, are you going out?"
Lu Wensheng: "Well, I'm going to the commune. You guys should go back and wash up, you're all sweaty."
Shen Lingling also spoke up: "Shengsheng, there is no bus to the commune now, do you want to walk there?"
Lu Wensheng replied, "Yes. I calculated that it would only take more than an hour to walk there. I'm going to buy some cooking utensils, otherwise I won't be able to eat dinner. For now, I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he turned around and walked out without waiting for the two to reply.
Ever since Lu Wensheng started drinking the spiritual spring water, she felt that her body had been sublimated. Not only did she become extremely strong, but her skin also became whiter and tenderer. She was very satisfied with her current body.
After leaving the village, Lu Wensheng ran all the way. When he got to the commune and looked at the watch, it was only an hour.
It was already past two o'clock, and there were basically no people on the street. The candy she brought from Songcheng was running out, so she planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruit candy or something to prepare, because she found that it was easier to use candy to get through to people here, regardless of gender or age.
She was about to walk towards the supply and marketing cooperative, but before she could take a step, an old lady holding a five or six-year-old child bumped into her.
"Ouch! Young comrade, why are you standing in the middle of the road? You're just wasting time!" He said this in a panic and wanted to leave.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Wensheng grabbed her sleeve and yelled, "You are not allowed to leave. You want to run away after bumping into someone? No way."
The old lady struggled desperately when Lu Wensheng grabbed her arm: "Let me go, why are you stopping me!" She looked back while struggling.
Lu Wensheng's intuition told her that this lady was not a good person, and she was even more unwilling to let go. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea:
"Just because you hit me! I don't care, you have to pay me. If you don't pay me today, you can't leave."
The old lady was a little annoyed by the harassment. Seeing Lu Wensheng's unreasonable attitude, she knew that if she didn't pay the money today, she would definitely not be able to leave. So she compromised:
"How much do you want?"
Lu Wensheng opened his mouth loudly: "I want twenty dollars."
"What? Why don't you just rob me? Why is a nice girl blackmailing me? I just bumped into you by accident. You didn't do anything wrong, yet you're asking me for twenty dollars? Do you know how much twenty dollars is?"
Lu Wensheng also acted like a rogue: "I don't care, you can't leave today without twenty dollars anyway."
Seeing more and more people gathered around, the old lady didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you twenty dollars, okay!"
