When they returned to Shimatou Village, Su Miaomiao and Wang Hongjie were both sweating slightly.
Everyone in the car was hot, except Deng Siyue, who felt like she was about to freeze into an ice sculpture.
When I got off the donkey cart, my hands and feet felt stiff.
Just when he was about to ask Shan Yazi how he drove the cart, the villagers had already heard the news and gathered at the entrance of the village.
Deng Siyue was immediately pushed to the outermost edge. If it weren't for the wooden stick supporting her, she would have fallen flat on her face.
"Village Chief, how much did you sell the herbs for this time?"
"What supplies did you buy?"
"Last time you said you wanted to buy more meat, have you bought it this time?"
"And I want some eggs and brown sugar. Have you bought them?"
“…”
The villagers asked questions at once, their eyes fixed on the supplies on the donkey cart, unable to take their eyes away.
"I've bought it. I've bought all the supplies you want." Wang Hongjie raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Everyone fell silent immediately.
"This time we sold the medicinal herbs for a total of 232 yuan. I wanted to keep some money, but as winter and winter are approaching, I exchanged all the money for supplies, so that everyone can have a good summer." Wang Hongjie briefly explained the situation of the medicinal herbs sales to the villagers.
"If we exchange it for supplies, everyone can have enough food. Village chief, stop talking about these things and distribute the supplies to us quickly." Everyone in the village knew that Wang Hongjie was an extremely responsible village chief and would never falsify these details.
If he says it was sold for a certain price, then it must have been sold at that price.
"Hey, then I won't waste any more time. All team leaders, come over to me to collect your supplies." Wang Hongjie was also happy and wanted to get the supplies and go home as soon as possible.
The scorekeeper came over with a scoreboard and counted the supplies again.
The supplies for each group were distributed to the team leader according to their points.
For a moment, the entrance of the village was bustling as if it were a holiday.
Everyone received supplies that exceeded their expectations, and they were all grinning from ear to ear.
Wang Hongjie looked at this scene and felt like he was dreaming.
Usually, this time is the most worrying time for everyone.
When winter comes, there is not much work to do in the fields.
There were no wild fruits or vegetables left on the mountain. If the villagers wanted to eat, they could only go to the mountain in the wind and snow to cut some tree bark.
But that thing was indigestible, and those villagers couldn't go to the toilet normally. In the end, they didn't starve to death, but they were suffocated to death.
They thought this winter would be more difficult to endure, but unexpectedly it was the winter with the most abundant supplies for them.
"Why do I have so few supplies? You are bullying me!" And in such a harmonious atmosphere, a very sharp voice broke the joy of everyone present.
For a moment, everyone looked over.
It’s Deng Siyue again.
Wang Hongjie's rare good mood was instantly consumed.
"Xiao Haoqiang, were you instructed by someone to compress our supplies?!" Deng Siyue glared at Xiao Haoqiang with gritted teeth.
"Deng Zhiqing, please don't slander me. You've basically been in the hospital recuperating for the past month and haven't earned any points at all. The supplies I gave you were deducted from my own supplies." Xiao Haoqiang's face flushed red.
