Chapter 224: Being Scorned
But one dollar is indeed a lot of money in the countryside, so it's no wonder her mother was in a difficult situation.
The mistress of the house was very hesitant, but in the end, the head of the family, Lin Lu, made the decision.
"Give it to Shuanzi."
I can repay the favor and avoid ruining my daughter's fortune.
People's blessings should not be wasted.
Li Xiuli agreed.
"Then let Shuanzi go! I'll go tell Shuanzi later, and by the way, tell her Third Aunt."
"Mom, go find my third aunt, don't forget the medicine." Lin Tang reminded.
She said it was the spiritual fluid that improved the soil.
Li Xiuli stood up neatly and patted the wrinkles on her body.
"Don't worry, Mom knows everything."
"If it weren't for this potion, the vegetables in the field wouldn't be growing so well."
She wanted to laugh when she thought about how the vegetables in the vegetable garden had grown so well and the family had speculated that it was the blessing of the ancestors and that the feng shui of the house had improved.
It turns out that it’s all thanks to my daughter!
After saying that, Li Xiuli left the house.
-
The next morning.
Lin Tang got up as soon as it was dawn.
The air is incredibly fresh.
Taking a breath of pure oxygen, my whole body feels like it has been cleansed and it is very comfortable.
Today is Monday, the most tiring day of the week when I want to be lazy the most.
Ning Xinrou and Lin Xiaojing returned to the county early.
Lin Tang asked for half a day off in advance because his family had to pay the public grain tax.
After a quick breakfast, the family went to the threshing ground.
Lin Fu saw his niece coming and hurried over, whispering, "Tangtang, did the comrades from the transport team say what time they would be arriving?"
Worried that the man would let the team down, he didn't dare tell the brigade members in advance, for fear that everyone would be disappointed.
Of course, the comrades kept urging us to load the grain onto the ox cart.
The members worked enthusiastically, and as the team leader, he was in a dilemma whether to ask them to move or not.
But he was very worried!
"They said they would arrive at 7:30, so they should be here soon," said Lin Tang.
The grain warehouse opens at 8:30, so it should be about the same time after we move the grain and rush to the county.
As he was speaking, a rumbling sound was heard.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, their eyes widening instantly.
A truck taller than a person came rumbling over, raising a cloud of dust on the road.
"Captain, why is there a car coming to our village?" a villager asked excitedly.
The others also looked at Lin Fu, waiting for his answer.
When Lin Fu saw the car coming, the worry in his heart instantly turned into dust, and a barely visible sense of pride appeared on his face.
He laughed heartily and said, "What do you think is the purpose of this truck coming to our village when grain is due?"
Old Guo opened his mouth into an O, and when he came to his senses, he looked dazed.
"Are you here to help us deliver food?" he said hesitantly.
'brush'--
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the captain.
"Captain?"
"Is what Old Guo said true?"
Don’t we need them to transport it over truck by truck this year?
If there were a car to deliver it, the public grain would arrive earlier and they would be able to draw the number earlier, right?
Lin Fu nodded affirmatively, "Yes! This truck is here to help us deliver food. The ones coming are from the transport team that delivered piglets to us last time."
Hearing this, the members of the brigade grinned.
"That's great! I hope the grain delivery goes smoothly this year!"
"Don't get beaten back, it's too tiring."
"Bah! Those cowardly fellows at the grain station are so ruthless. We have a car today, so we'll be the first to go. I don't believe they can do anything else."
"We are clearly paying our dues, yet we are treated like grandsons. It's totally unjust."
These days the staff working at the grain stations are so arrogant that their eyes are as big as their heads.
Their team had no connections and was looked down upon.
It’s fine if I’m always criticized for handing over grain.
Several times we had to wait from morning until sunset in the afternoon before we could move the grain to the granary.
The grain station is far away and there are no capable people in the team, so they can only rely on the men in the team to transport the grain to the county in trucks.
Even if we set off in the early morning, the sun would be already high in the sky by the time everything was transported.
If you queue up at this time, you will have to wait...
Therefore, it is understandable why the members of the brigade were so happy when they saw the car coming.
As the members of the team were talking at once, Li Jiancai suddenly asked, "Captain, were the comrades from the transport team invited by your Tangtang?"
Even the cadres of Lin Fulian's brigade kept this news secret and were extremely tight-lipped.
Lin Fu raised his head proudly, his body standing straight.
"right."
The whole team was happy and envious.
They were happy that such a capable person was from their team, but they were envious that Lin Tang was not their own child.
The villagers only said a few words, and Fang Zhitong, who was in the driver's seat, backed the car and jumped out.
"Captain Lin, I'm here to pick up the food."
Lin Fu smiled enthusiastically and said, "The food is all here. I'll call for help moving it right away. Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Fang!"
Fang Zhitong: "You're welcome. Serve the people."
Then he looked at Lin Tang and said, "Comrade Lin, we meet again."
Thinking of the signature of the article he had seen in the newspaper before, the young man looked at it with admiration.
Lin Tang nodded, his eyes smiling, "Please let the comrade go."
After a brief greeting, Fang Zhitong lowered the rear door of the car.
The villagers put up a few long wooden boards and started carrying food.
Each person took a bag, and they followed one after another, and soon they finished moving.
Bags of grain were piled on the cart.
There is a small empty space near the car door.
The strong men who delivered food in previous years got on the car.
A little kid who wanted to go to the county hurriedly hugged his father's legs.
"Dad, I want to go too. Can you take me with you?"
As soon as one kid opened his mouth, the rest of the kids came forward as if some mechanism had been opened.
"Dad, Dad, take me with you too. I promise to be a good boy." The speaker was a dark-skinned little boy.
The little boy climbed up onto his father's waist like a monkey climbing a tree, his arms tightly wrapped around the man's waist, his face stern and fierce.
Lin Tang, who was standing next to him, was amused by the kid's expression.
"Uncle, take them with you. I will help you look after the children when we get to the county." Lin Tang said with a smile.
It's a rare opportunity to borrow a car, so I took the kids in the group out to see the world.
The grumpy man who had raised his hands immediately lowered them, with a simple smile on his face.
"...Then I'll trouble you, Tangtang."
Others said, "Tangtang, if they don't listen, just beat them. Don't be polite. We don't feel bad."
After saying that, the cow stared at the monkey with its eyes, baring its sharp white teeth, and threatened viciously.
The way the villagers educate their children is so simple and crude.
Everyone got on the bus one after another.
The truck started moving with a clang.
In the back carriage, the men and children from the village stood there nervously and excitedly.
As the car moved, the wind blew.
"I never thought we would have this day. Hahaha. When I return to the village, I can brag about it for a whole year."
"This car is so tall, it's just fast!"
"Thanks to Lin Jiatangtang, otherwise how could we get on this car?"
The carriage is hollow, the wind is very strong from above, and the noise when the car is moving is also very loud.
The men had to shout when they spoke, but that didn't dampen their enthusiasm at all, and they talked almost all the way.
