Ning Jing listened to Fu Qiang's words but didn't say anything more.
Looking around, the people who had been queuing to buy grain had long since dispersed.
Many people have gone back; staying here won't produce any food.
It would be better to go back and think of a solution.
Ning Jing thought about it for a moment, and realized that besides the money from selling eggs, she also had Fu Hongxing's salary on her!
Since we've already come out, and we can't buy food, let's buy some other things first.
She strolled around the supply and marketing cooperative and returned home carrying large and small bags.
After arriving home, Ning Jing first gave Xiu Hua a small bag of fruit candies, asking her to distribute them to her younger siblings.
Then, holding a bag of brown sugar, he turned around and went out the door to visit Wang Guihua at the Zhao family's house.
"Ning Jing, I'm perfectly fine, why did you bring such expensive things?"
Wang Guihua had a handkerchief draped over her forehead. She hadn't gone to the health center after fainting from anger yesterday.
Although he was physically fine, he still felt listless.
Seeing Ning Jing enter the room, Wang Guihua remembered something, and Ning Jing quickly stepped forward and held her down.
However, when Wang Guihua saw Ning Jing place the bag of brown sugar on the table in the room, she frowned and said...
Brown sugar is a rare commodity for people nowadays.
Ning Jing smiled and said, "Sister Guihua, I know you're fine, but brown sugar is good for women's health, so I'm giving you some tonics."
"Hey, this stuff is so expensive, you should take it back for Hongxing's siblings to drink!"
Wang Guihua declined, saying that she knew it was good for women to drink brown sugar, but Ning Jing's family had women and children.
"No, sister-in-law, I bought this especially for you."
Ning Jing waved her hand and said to Wang Guihua.
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment.
When Wang Guihua saw Ning Jing's hesitant expression, her heart skipped a beat.
"Ning Jing, is there something you need to talk to me about?"
When Wang Guihua asked her, Ning Jing thought for a moment, then hesitated slightly before asking.
"Sister-in-law Guihua, how do you plan to distribute the grain to Gao Dani?"
Wang Guihua was somewhat confused by what she heard.
“Naturally, since she came, I gave it all to her, so as not to feel uncomfortable looking at it too much.”
Although she felt bad about the large amount of grain, it was still better than the pain of seeing it.
But since Ning Jing asked this question, is there a problem?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ning Jing let out a soft breath and said in a somewhat heavy voice, "Sister-in-law, I went to the county town to sell eggs today, and I originally wanted to buy some grain to bring back."
However, they discovered that the grain window at the supply and marketing cooperative now only supplies a limited amount of grain each day, and once it's sold out, that's it.
So I advised my sister-in-law to give her the 500 jin of grain in several installments!
"To avoid people thinking you have enough food at home, which could lead to other ideas."
Wang Guihua gasped when she heard Ning Jing say that.
"What? The supply and marketing cooperatives are rationing grain?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and started thinking.
She's not stupid. During this time, other villages have set up canteens, and everyone has been eating from the communal pot for a long time. Now, suddenly, they've stopped setting up canteens and stopping the communal pot meals!
There is definitely a food shortage.
So she knew that other villages were coming to borrow grain.
But she didn't expect that not only was there a food shortage in the village, but there was also no food for sale in the county town!
Having no food and needing money to buy food are two different things.
