Chapter 36: Whole grains don’t taste good, so I didn’t buy them
Seeing that Vice Captain Wang behaved so abnormally today, Zhao Fa became more certain of his previous guess.
"Deputy Captain Wang is very enthusiastic today..."
Deputy Captain Wang looked at Shang Ruoting with a smile.
"Captain, do you know how much this girl contributed today?"
Zhao Fa was puzzled: "What contribution?"
Deputy Captain Wang told Shang Ruoting about the 590 eggs she had just delivered to the warehouse.
After hearing this, Zhao Fa instantly jumped up from his chair.
"You said she delivered 590 eggs?"
Deputy Captain Wang smiled smugly: "How could I lie about this?"
Zhao Fa slammed the table fiercely: "Hahaha, that's great."
"Secretary Cui told me a few days ago that a breeding competition will be held this year. All production teams, whether they are poultry or livestock, as long as they have outstanding production, can participate."
"If our team's egg production continues to be so high, we'll definitely take first place."
Deputy Captain Wang was also very happy after hearing this: "That's great! This year's number one in breeding must go to our Sihe Village."
Zhao Fa now completely understood that the reason why Deputy Captain Wang was speaking up for Shang Ruoting was because of the egg production.
Since the two of them were not what he thought, he felt a lot more relieved.
Zhao Fa looked at the old-fashioned clock on the wall. "It's 11 o'clock now. The team will be having dinner soon. Ruoting, go eat there first. Come to the office promptly at 1 p.m. I'll call Zhang Lanxiang over, and we'll discuss compensation for Li Rulan."
Shang Ruoting knew that solving the problem at this time would definitely delay the two captains' meal time.
"Okay, I'll be here on time at 1:00 PM. Captains, I'll go home first and cook for my grandma and Tan Chen."
Zhao Fa was in a good mood at the moment: "Ruoting, why don't you call Tan Chen and your grandma to go to the team to eat together!"
"The team cooks a lot of food, so they can handle the two of them."
Shang Ruoting waved her hand: "No, the team's meals are prepared for members who participate in labor. It would not be good for my grandma and Tan Chen to go."
After hearing this, Zhao Fa felt that Shang Ruoting was more sensible.
"In that case, you should go back early! Don't be late this afternoon."
Shang Ruoting and the two captains expressed their sincere gratitude and turned to leave.
After returning home, she planned to go to the kitchen to wash her hands and visit Old Mrs. Shang first.
But he heard the sound of conversation coming from the room where Tan Chen was.
"Tan Chen...you know your mom is very strict. Your house collapsed, and Dad wanted to go check it out yesterday, but your mom stopped him..."
Shang Ruoting almost laughed out loud when she heard Tan Mingshan's spineless words.
What is strict control?
Isn't it because you are weak-willed?
She has no good feelings towards such people.
Tan Chen is settled now. He came over and pretended to care about her, but didn't he just want to hear Tan Chen say that it's okay and it's not his fault?
Shang Ruoting was too lazy to listen to their conversation anymore. After washing her hands, she went straight to Old Lady Shang's room.
Old Mrs. Shang didn't know when she had changed out of the new clothes that Tan Chen had bought for her and walked out wearing a patched coarse cloth dress.
"Grandma, how is your injury? Does it still hurt?"
"It's fine, it doesn't hurt anymore!" Old Mrs. Shang said, and was about to open the door and walk out.
Shang Ruoting stopped her: "Grandma, what are you going to do?"
"It's already noon. It must be hard for you to take care of two chicken coops. Grandma will go and make you some dinner."
In fact, on the one hand, Mrs. Shang felt sorry for Shang Ruoting, but the most important thing was that she felt that Shang Ruoting was a bit of a spendthrift.
Not only was rice the staple food in the meals she cooked, but she also put so much oil in the dishes. She was worried that she and Tan Chen would have a hard time living in the future because they had no money.
Shang Ruoting didn't know what Old Lady Shang was thinking. No matter what, she would never let an injured old woman cook for her.
“
Grandma, I came back so early to cook for you."
"You are injured, just rest in the house."
How could Mrs. Shang possibly listen to her?
"You only have a shoulder injury, but one arm is fine. Cooking will be no problem for you."
Having said that, she walked out of the house regardless of Shang Ruoting's obstruction.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade the old lady, Shang Ruoting followed behind helplessly.
Old Mrs. Shang walked into the kitchen and began to look around.
She was thinking, Tingting said yesterday that she bought a lot of food from the supply and marketing cooperative, but why did she see only rice and flour?
Moreover, there were two large bags full.
Could it be that this girl only bought fine grains?
Shang Ruoting looked at the old lady's actions with some curiosity.
"Grandma, what are you looking for?"
Old Mrs. Shang turned around and asked, "Tingting, you bought food at the supply and marketing cooperative, but you only bought rice and flour?"
Shang Ruoting nodded: "Yes! Whole grains don't taste good, so I didn't buy them."
Old Mrs. Shang was speechless for a while.
This time she really couldn't help but teach Shang Ruoting a lesson.
"Tingting, rice and flour are delicious, but how can we country people eat them like this?"
"We work in the production team every day to earn work points. If we eat like this for a few months, all our work points for the year will be gone."
"You and Tan Chen just got married, and there's still a lot of time for you to live together. You can't just live without planning like this."
