Buying grain in the city requires grain coupons and is more expensive. The brigade has stored grain that is cheaper and doesn't require grain coupons. She didn't have time, so she thought of asking Chen Jing for help to get grain from the brigade.
The brigade can get 17 yuan for every 100 jin of millet. After hulling, it can get 70 jin of rice, 20 jin of wheat, 50 jin of sweet potatoes, and another 10 jin of mixed grains and two hens.
This amount of grain is enough for three people to eat for at least two months.
After she calculated it this way, Chen Jing finally felt relieved; it was enough that she didn't need to express her gratitude with money.
After taking the money, he hesitated for a moment: "Do you have any more money? If not, I can pay for it first."
"Don't worry, I'll let you cover it. I'll get paid again in a few days."

As the end of the month approached, Director Liu of the supply and marketing cooperative came to check the ledgers and inventory. Ji Xia handed over the neat ledgers and inventory lists and was praised for it.

Ji Xia looked at her suspiciously: "Why is he cursing at you? Is there a problem with your goods?"
"It's because the roof of the warehouse is leaking. I told him about it a long time ago, but it still hasn't been fixed. It's rained several times this month, and a batch of fabric got wet. There's so much to deal with," He Qiuying replied dejectedly.
