Before He Wan could figure out how to explain it to him, the aunt came out with the money.
"Old Jin, you're back. This young comrade has come to exchange some things."
He then gave her the money.
Old Jin looked at her bamboo basket and asked, "What did you exchange it for?"
"A chicken."
Old Jin chuckled. He worked at the vegetable station and also had pork at the stall, so he wasn't short of money. But as a leader, he couldn't expect people to save some for him every day.
"The chicken is good, young man. Do you have any more?"
"Yes, there are four chickens and ten catties of pork."
My auntie just saw that there was chicken in it, but she didn't expect there to be pork too. "And fish too!"
Old Jin squatted down, lifted the lid of her bamboo basket, and saw that there really was fish: "Where did you get this fish?"
He Wan smiled but didn't say anything.
Old Jin knew that the person selling the goods had an illegitimate source, so he didn't say anything, but simply said, "I'll take everything in your basket."
"Sure, since you're buying everything, I'll give you a discount. The chicken is 2.5 yuan, no coupon needed, and the fish is 1 yuan each, both weighing three or four jin."
"Hehe, young comrade, you're quite straightforward. Okay."
As he spoke, he asked his wife to get him the money, and said with a smile, "Young comrade, you can come to me next time you have goods."
"Okay, uncle."
After leaving the uncle's house, He Wan went to a few more places and bought some brown sugar, fish, pork, chicken, duck and goose.
I earned a little over two hundred yuan, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a few packs of cigarettes for Yun's father and brother-in-law. It was already past four o'clock. I hurried to the grain station.
When they arrived at the designated location, it was their turn. Captain Chen pleaded with the grain inspectors, but they insisted that their grain was of poor quality and could not be classified as superior grain.
Their grain was clearly better than the previous family's, so why did it become substandard when it came to them? Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do about it.
He Wan took out a packet of candy and a pack of cigarettes from her spatial storage, walked over to Captain Chen, and offered him a cigarette, saying, "Comrade, our grain has been dried for a week, and we only brought over the best and plumpest grain from the few acres we selected. Why don't you check it again?" As she spoke, she quietly slipped the packet of brown sugar to the comrade checking the grain.
The comrade glanced at her, coughed lightly, and said to Captain Chen, "Since this young comrade from your village has objections, then we'll examine him again."
Captain Chen hurriedly greeted him with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Lao Zhang, you've worked hard."
When he went past, he subtly gave He Wan a thumbs up.
In the end, without a doubt, everyone had a smile on their face.
On the way back, Captain Chen specially pulled He Wan onto the oxcart and said with a smile, "He Wan, we owe you a lot for that bag of brown sugar this time. Last year, the people at the grain station were very fair, but this year they sent a different person who is a bit cunning, and we weren't prepared."
“Captain, I know how to deal with this kind of person. I just happened to go to the supply and marketing cooperative today and bought a pound of brown sugar, so I thought I’d give it a try.”
"Hey, this is a village matter. I can't let you pay for this pound of brown sugar for nothing. I'll talk to the accountant when we get back and see how to compensate you."
"Captain, isn't it time to distribute grain? Just give me a little more."
“Great idea! We’re distributing grain tomorrow and we’re also planning to slaughter a pig. After all this work, it’s good to let everyone have some good food.”
"Great!" Everyone shouted with joy when they heard that grain would be distributed and pigs would be slaughtered tomorrow.
This scene is just as spectacular as during the Lunar New Year.
At this moment, Chen Qing was sitting in the cart pushed by Liang Shurui, chatting with Liang Shurui about something, and smiling happily.
After He Wan returned, she sent a message to Yun Shudai, telling her that the grain would be distributed tomorrow and that a pig would be slaughtered.
When Yun Shudai returned to the hotel that evening, she saw the message and the pictures sent.
It was the first time she had ever seen such a scene, and she found it quite amazing.
How much grain will you get? Will you get a share when the pig is slaughtered tomorrow?
After Yun Shudai posted the message, she didn't receive a reply for a long time, so she knew that Yun Shudai wasn't on her social media.
