Chapter 238 Just do as you wish
When Chuxue arrived home, there was half a bag of cornmeal and half a bag of sorghum flour in the backpack: "Mom, I'm back."
When Liu's mother saw her coming back, she hurried over to greet her: "Did you see your sister?"
Chu Xue replied as she unloaded the backpack: "Yes, she looked good. Her brother-in-law went to see her today. When I went there, the girl's side was there too."
"Have you seen it? Do you think you can get along well with me?"
"I haven't seen her, but my sister knows that girl. We've dealt with her a few times before. My sister said she has a good temper."
"That's good. That's good."
Mother Liu lent a hand to Chuxue and helped her put down the backpack: "What's in your backpack? Why is it so heavy?"
"In a few days, we may not have enough food to warm up the house. I asked someone to exchange some for us. I will go to the village committee to see if there is any wheat in the warehouse. I will exchange some for us and then we can steam buns with three-grain flour."
It's not that she didn't want to organize the warm-house party better. First, the food in her space was not yet ripe. Second, it was good enough to have enough to eat these days. Her home was already conspicuous enough, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Mother Liu knew that her second daughter had a chance of success: "Okay, just do as you think."
Thinking of what my daughter had arranged for me to do, I said, "My daughter, I have already asked in the next village, and Aunt Wu has agreed. She said she will come over early on the afternoon of the fifth day of the New Year."
"Then I will go up the mountain on the fifth day in the morning to see if I can hunt some wild animals. In the afternoon, I will go to the pond to catch some fish. Even if there is no meat, fish will be fine. I am afraid that the vegetables in the private plot will not be enough for the feast. Mom, you can exchange some with Aunt Cuihong and the others."
She does have some vegetables in her space, but it's not convenient to take them out. It's better to ask the villagers to exchange some, it's safer.
The mother and daughter talked for a while before Chuxue went out, preparing to go to the brigade headquarters to see if there was any white flour left in the village warehouse. If not, she would think of other ways.
Most of the grain collected from the Ge and Chen families before was coarse grains, and there was no difference between having white flour and not having it, so it could be ignored.
She had made up her mind that she would hunt a few rabbits and pheasants, but the amount should not be too large, so as not to make others jealous and cause trouble. She could bring back a few fish, which could also be used as meat dishes.
When I arrived at the brigade headquarters, only the branch secretary was there: "Uncle Secretary, are you here?"
"Chu Xue, what are you doing here?"
"Uncle Secretary, my family is going to hold a house-warming party on the sixth day of the New Year. I want to come and see if there is any wheat in the village warehouse. I want to exchange some."
"How much do you want in exchange?"
"If possible, can you give me twenty kilograms in exchange?"
The secretary nodded and said, "Okay, let's go get it now, or?"
"If it's convenient, I'd like to go get it now. It's a good opportunity to grind it into flour while I have nothing to do today."
The secretary stood up and took a key from the drawer: "Let's go and call the accountant on the way."
When Chu Xue heard that they had to call the accountant, the smile on her face disappeared, but since this was the normal procedure, she could only nod and said, "Okay."
When they passed by, Liu Quanwen just came out of the yard.
The secretary directly stated his purpose. Even if Liu Quanwen was reluctant, he had to give the secretary face.
Except for Liu Quanwen's bad face, things went smoothly.
After paying the money and getting the receipt, Chu Xue picked up the wheat and left.
Liu Quanwen looked at Chuxue's back with an obscure light in his eyes. Chuxue naturally saw his expression through her mental power and couldn't help thinking: If you dare to do anything, I will make you regret it.
