"That's true, but, isn't this a benefit for being on our team?"
Aunt Yang Liu was good at chatting. She paused at this crucial point, looked at everyone with a smile, and kept the topic in suspense for the time being.
As the captain's wife, she had first-hand information about the brigade canteen.
This aroused the curiosity of everyone present, and they all looked at Aunt Yang Liu.
Aunt Qian couldn't suppress her curiosity. She stopped pulling weeds and asked, "Yang Liu, what are the benefits? Tell us quickly."
Ning Xiyue cared a lot about this benefit. She had originally wanted to inquire about eating in the cafeteria. Now, after hearing what Aunt Yang Liu said, her curiosity was aroused, and she looked at Aunt Yang Liu with curiosity and asked.
"Aunt, what kind of benefits are they? Can you tell me? I'm feeling really uncomfortable sitting here."
Aunt Zhao chimed in, "Yes, Yang Liu, please speak up. You feel uncomfortable when you're halfway through a sentence."
Aunt Yang Liu glanced at the others and said, "Don't stop pulling weeds. I'll tell you something."
Ning Xiyue's hands moved quickly, pulling out the weeds without any hesitation.
The other aunts continued to pull out the weeds, but half of their eyes were still on Aunt Yang Liu, waiting for her to speak.
Aunt Yang Liu saw that everyone was pulling out weeds faster, smiled with satisfaction, and continued:
"If you don't work there and want to eat in the cafeteria, there are ways to do it."
"There are two ways. One is that when team members need to eat, they can bring their rations to the canteen and exchange them for cooked meals. We'll charge them two cents as a processing fee."
"There's another one." Aunt Qian continued.
Aunt Yang Liu looked at Aunt Qian and smiled.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. There's another way to buy meal tickets directly with money. It's just like eating at a state-owned restaurant, but the cost is half the price. However, only members of our team can eat in the cafeteria in person to enjoy these benefits."
When the aunts heard that both methods had a lot to do with money, they lost interest.
Two cents is still money. Two cents at a time is sixty cents a month, which is enough to buy a pound of meat. It will take a long time to work in the fields to earn back the money.
The second method is needless to say, if someone has so much money that he or she has to buy food outside.
This benefit is not very attractive to those who make a living from the land.
It is not necessary to eat in this cafeteria.
Although the aunts were not interested and did not think this benefit was good, they could not say it directly because they had to give Aunt Yang Liu some face.
One moment he urges others to talk about benefits, and the next moment he despises them, especially towards the captain's wife. No one is so stupid.
Aunt Zhao smiled sheepishly and said, "It's still okay. If someone has a happy event, they can go to the cafeteria to eat. If we feel lazy and don't want to cook occasionally, we can also try it. It's still pretty good."
"Yes, yes, I think so too. When you are tired from the busy farming season, you can go to the canteen." Aunt Qian nodded and said politely.
Of course, others followed closely behind.
Not a single word he said was serious.
All I was thinking about was who would be the sucker who would go there. The food was cooked by the people in the team, so how could it compare with the food cooked by the chefs in the state-owned restaurants in other towns? There was nothing delicious in the cafeteria.
Only Ning Xiyue really wanted to go. The polite words the aunts said were her true thoughts. She was the "sucker" in the aunts' minds.
