Minister Xu on the side originally wanted to say that he had just purchased a batch and did not need it at all, but after hearing Jiang Tang's sincere heart for the people and the members, he felt embarrassed to refuse.
He turned around and looked at Political Commissar Jiang standing beside him. After thinking for a while, he decided to give him the favor. Besides, it was not against any rules. They happened to have purchased green tea before, so some black tea would be nice too.
Minister Xu smiled and said, "So that's what Political Commissar Jiang meant. Why didn't you say so earlier? Your daughter is amazing. At her age, she has the courage to go to the countryside and serve as a team leader. She's not an ordinary person and will definitely have a bright future."
Jiang Guangtao was very pleased with Minister Xu's flattery. "Whether she's promising or not is another matter. She's only a small official now, but she's already so arrogant, insisting on leading the entire village to prosperity. She looks good, but when it comes time to get things done, she'll have to look to us for backing. Regardless, she'll just make a scene at home, making this job like mine. I'm really worried about her all the time."
Jiang Guangtao said this, but in his heart he was very satisfied with his daughter's enthusiasm for work.
Minister Xu smiled and said, "Children are a debt, everyone has one. Fortunately, we can still help them." After that, he looked at Jiang Tang and said, "How much stock do you have now?"
Jiang Tang didn't know either. After asking Lan, she learned that her family stored quite a bit every year, and other families sometimes stored hundreds of pounds. "Of this specification, there are sometimes one or two hundred bags."
"I can't take two hundred bags, I'll take one hundred."
Jiang Tang smiled happily: "Okay, but I don't bring much this time. I'll give the rest to Uncle Xu when I go back tomorrow. Uncle Xu, are you giving me money, food, or receipts?"
Minister Xu smiled and said, "Aren't you short of food supplies? How about we give you some food coupons, some money, and some living expenses coupons?"
"Great, thank you Uncle Xu."
Jiang Tang was busy helping Grandma Huixian sell goods and didn't have time to look for Si Ning.
After returning from Rong District, I packed up the remaining twenty bags of tea and returned to Rong District.
Minister Xu asked Secretary Zhang from the department to contact her.
Twenty bags, 48 cents per bag, she quoted 50 cents, saying it was a two-cent packaging fee.
Secretary Zhang also agreed: "What do you want to change?"
"Brother Zhang, food and tickets are all fine."
Secretary Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Ten yuan in total. I'll give you fifty kilograms of coarse grain, which is four yuan after calculation. I'll also give you a soap ticket, a towel ticket, two one-kilogram grain tickets, and one one-kilogram kerosene ticket, which is three yuan. I'll give you the remaining three yuan in cash."
Jiang Tang was very satisfied: "Brother Zhang, you are really thoughtful."
Zhang Quan often went to purchase goods, and sometimes he would go to nearby towns to collect goods. Naturally, he knew what the members were short of, but he was still very happy to hear Jiang Tang's compliment: "I also have experience in collecting goods. But your village is really poor. In rural areas nowadays, I can't say whether there is enough food to eat, but it's not so poor that there is not enough food to eat right after the harvest."
Jiang Tang nodded and said sadly, "Who says it's not true? I grew up in a compound and when I arrived in their village, I instantly felt extremely happy. There's no comparison at all. When I think about my past days of being muddle-headed and squandering my parents' money, I feel it's not right.
So, I thought, I'll do my best to help as much as I can. Brother Zhang, does our team harvest vegetables in the fall?
Zhang Quan said: "Harvest. We harvest a lot of radishes, cabbages and potatoes, but we can't eat them all the time. We also harvest some other small vegetables, sweet potatoes, dried vegetables and so on occasionally. What are the most abundant in your village in winter?"
Jiang Tang thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Wild boars are the most numerous."
Zhang Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? You can organize the villagers to hunt wild boars. As long as we can catch them, we will definitely take them."
"Okay, I'll contact Brother Zhang then."
"no problem."
The fifty kilograms of coarse grains from Jiang Tang, plus the three kilograms given by Si Ning, make a total of fifty-three kilograms.
Brother Zhang rode his bicycle to take her back home.
Jiang Tang has been busy since he came back. He glanced at his watch and it was only a little after two o'clock.
After taking a shower, I was about to go to Si Ning's house, but found that her door was locked.
When I turned around, I saw Xia Qiu who had just left the house and was about to go to Si Ning's house.
The moment their eyes met, they both turned their heads away without giving in.
Jiang Tang pretended not to see her and walked away.
Xia Qiu glanced at the gate of Si Ning's house, with some disappointment in his eyes, and turned around.
However, Jiang Tang, who had just taken a few steps, was thinking a lot about the book and the heroine in his mind.
Besides not getting along with each other since childhood, the two of them like to compare with each other and quarrel all day long.
It's about competing for men.
It’s different now. She doesn’t bother to compete with her for men, let alone compare with her.
She was a very confident person, believing that she was unique in the world and had so many shining points that she couldn't even count them all. She didn't have the time to care about other people's shining points.
Adhering to the principle of interests first, Jiang Tang suddenly stopped and called her: "Hey, Comrade Xia."
Xia Qiu, who was about to enter, was startled by her voice and looked at her warily: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Tang was speechless. She was not here to argue.
But for the sake of her career, she was also very sincere: "Please wait a moment."
Jiang Tang said as she quickly entered the house, took out the bag of tea for Dad, and without hesitation, stuffed it into Xia Qiu's arms. "This is tea produced in the village where I went to work. It's a top-grade black tea. I'm giving this to you. Ahem, let me make it clear first, I'm not giving it to you out of nowhere. Um, please recommend it to me. If anyone at work likes it, remember to buy it from me. It's 50 cents a bag."
