Fortunately, the temperature in this space is very comfortable.
Otherwise, in this hot summer, if she ate something so spicy, she would drown herself in sweat.
After dinner, Shen Jiaojiao counted the food again.
Thinking about how to convert all this food into money.
I went to the black market before, and sold the food in less than a moment.
But the quantity that can be sold at one time is not too much.
This way of making money is too inefficient.
It would be great if we could find someone who specializes in purchasing food.
Even if the price is lower, she can still offer it.
After all, these foods are renewable resources for her.
In fact, it is not impossible to save a few cents according to the market price.
The key is that the person has a large amount.
For example, 500 kilograms or 1,000 kilograms at a time.
And the types of food purchased cannot be limited to one type of grain.
The kind that can eat anything.
Shen Jiaojiao made up her mind that she would go to the black market next time to see if there was such a person.
After staying in the space for a while, I left.
When I got to the room, I had two red apples in my hands.
She prepared it for Liu Xiaolan and Xu Mo in the afternoon.
There was still some time before work started, and Shen Jiaojiao was just about to take a break when she heard someone calling outside the door.
"Shen Jiaojiao, there is a package for you."
Shen Jiaojiao immediately opened the door and saw a postman standing outside.
The postman was riding a bicycle and carrying an army green bag.
There was also a package hanging on the car.
Shen Jiaojiao went over and took the package, and the postman handed her a letter.
"This is yours, too."
"Oh, thank you." Shen Jiaojiao took it and thanked her.
The postman said something polite and prepared to ride away.
Shen Jiaojiao then remembered that Wang Song had something to send. It would be fine if she could just let the postman take his letter and things away!
So he called out, "Comrade, wait a moment. A comrade wants to send a letter. I'll go get him out."
Shen Jiaojiao carried the package and arrived at the door of the boys' dormitory.
"Captain, the postman is at the door. Don't you want to send a package?"
Wang Song came out quickly.
He glanced at the postman at the door, then said to Shen Jiaojiao, "I haven't bought my agricultural products yet, so I won't send them now. I'll go to the county town in a few days and send them later."
"Oh, is that so?"
Shen Jiaojiao had no choice but to run back to the door and tell the postman what happened.
The postman said nothing and rode away on his bike.
When Shen Jiaojiao walked back, Wang Song was still standing there.
Perhaps to thank Shen Jiaojiao for her helpfulness just now, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Shen Zhiqing, thank you for what I did just now."
"It's just a small thing, no thanks."
"This is a package your family sent you! I've seen your family send you a package every month. It seems your parents love you very much!"
When it comes to her family, Shen Jiaojiao is naturally grinning from ear to ear.
"Well, they were very kind to me. They were worried that I would suffer in the countryside, so they often sent me things."
After chatting with Wang Song for a few words, Shen Jiaojiao returned to the house.
Shen Jiaojiao opened the letter first.
It was sent by her second brother.
"You little bastard, if I don't write to you, you don't know how to write to me either. Your second brother really loves you in vain. I heard from your parents that you are living a good life in the countryside. Is it because your life is too comfortable that you have forgotten your second brother? I tell you, if you forget your second brother, I will definitely go to your place and bring you back to spank you.
Hey! Silly girl, don't think that your second brother will not believe you when you write in the letter that life in the countryside is so comfortable.
Second brother knows that you are trying to comfort us and don't want us to worry, Jiaojiao. Second brother knows that you must have lost weight. You have to work in the countryside and there is not much to eat. You must not be used to living here or eating here.
Hey! Silly girl, I wouldn't even let you touch the water when you were at home, how could you be so stubborn as to sign up to go to the countryside?
Forget it, let’s not talk about the past. You also know that the situation in our family is special. If I am determined to find a way to get you back, the slightest mistake will implicate the whole family. But you just have to be patient, and your second brother will definitely find a way to get you back. Believe me.
Jiaojiao, you must learn to protect yourself when you are outside. Don't be silly enough to help others count money after being sold out. And don't think your second brother is too talkative. Your best friend seems to have ulterior motives, so you should be wary of her and don't tell her everything.
Okay, let's do this! Jiaojiao, if you feel wronged and miss your brother, just call or write to me. If someone bullies you, I will come to support you immediately."
After reading the letter, Shen Jiaojiao's eyes became moist.
Between the lines, she could imagine her second brother who was dressed in military uniform, acted ruffian and bad-tempered, and had a sharp tongue.
When she was at home, she had the best relationship with her second brother.
Because her second brother often took her out to play secretly.
He even took her to pick bird eggs.
Of course, if these things were discovered, my second brother would be beaten with a belt by my grandfather.
But Grandpa never hit Shen Jiaojiao.
So, among the three brothers, the second brother was beaten as many times as the other two brothers combined.
Shen Jiaojiao put down the letter and opened the package.
Inside was a big bag of cotton and some food.
Jerky, canned food, malted milk.
In addition, there were five hundred yuan and some tickets.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the thick stack of big balls in her hand.
I thought to myself, second brother, if you send me all the money, how will you get married in the future?
In fact, the monthly salary of the team leader is not high.
Fortunately, his family is well-off, otherwise, if he were as wasteful as his second brother, it would be normal for him to remain single for the rest of his life.
Shen Jiaojiao put the money away and decided to keep it for her second brother.
Even though she wrote home saying they didn't need to send her anything anymore.
But I think they definitely won’t listen to it at home.
Forget it. If they send money in the future, she will keep it for them.
But she can keep the ticket.
After all, it is very difficult to get tickets in the countryside.
When going to work in the afternoon, Shen Jiaojiao first walked up to Liu Xiaolan and handed her a red apple.
"Auntie, here's an apple for you."
To be honest, Liu Xiaolan has never eaten an apple in her life.
After all, for those of us who make a living from the land.
Apples are still very expensive.
I can't bear to buy it at all.
"Jiaojiao, you can keep it for yourself! I just had dinner and I'm not hungry."
Shen Jiaojiao stuffed it into her hands.
"Wait until you are thirsty before eating. Auntie, go do your work! I am leaving now."
Looking at Shen Jiaojiao walking away, he looked at the red apple in his hand.
Liu Xiaolan's eyes were moist.
Quite touching.
"My third son's wife is really well-behaved and filial."
Zhang Xiufang (Xu Mo's aunt), who was working nearby, rolled her eyes.
"It's just an apple, isn't it? Look how proud you are of it."
Liu Xiaolan was in a good mood now, so she didn't start cursing even though she hadn't caught him.
Looking at Zhang Xiufang with a smile on his face.
He said sarcastically, "Yeah! I'm just showing off. My daughter-in-law gave it to me. If you have the guts, why don't you let your daughter-in-law buy you an apple to try?"
Zhang Xiufang felt a little unhappy because her pain point was touched, but she still tried to make excuses.
"My daughter-in-law wanted to buy it for me, but I couldn't bear to let her spend the money. I would rather suffer a little more than let my daughter-in-law live frugally and be filial to the elderly."
"Hey, you said it better than singing it. I'm going to make it clear today. If you can get even a grain of rice from your daughter-in-law, I, Liu Xiaolan, will believe you."
