Fu Hongxing's return brought a large amount of grain to the county, giving hope to those who were on the verge of despair.
When Director Kang saw the grain that Fu Hongxing had brought back again, his mouth never stopped agape.
With tears in his eyes, Director Wu once again hauled a truckload of grain back to the textile factory.
After being able to eat congee with rice grains last time, all the employees can now eat congee with corn grits and sweet potatoes mixed in with rice grains.
Compared to the previous bland soup with not a single grain of rice, this is a godsend.
People used to be listless and unable to work, but now the factory is much more lively.
After County Chief Qian made sure that everyone working in the county office building had something to eat, some dissenting voices were suppressed.
Even the dumbest person wouldn't go against their own stomach, right?
Fu Hongxing made three trips and basically bought up all the remaining stock in Xiaogang Village.
For Xiaogang Village, exchanging these old grains for a large sum of money and supplies was an extremely worthwhile deal.
Even when Fu Hongxing was hauling grain for the last time, Zhang Biao quietly asked him if he wanted more in the future.
If they still need grain, they will increase planting efforts next spring.
Fu Hongxing considered the situation of the following brigades and did not immediately reject the proposal.
I just told Zhang Biao to prepare more, it's always better to be prepared.
Zhang Biao thought the same thing, but he also thought that if he could get a word out of him now, he could feel more at ease.
However, since Xiao Fu has said so, it seems we should plant more next year.
In any case, all the old grain in every household has been sold out.
The rest is all this year's new grain. Once the new grain is finished, next year's grain should be available.
What Fu Hongxing did this time can be considered the most meritorious achievement.
So, seeing that Fu Hongxing had lost weight, Director Kang waved his hand and gave him a month's leave.
Anyway, Fu Hongxing doesn't need to go down the mine in winter, so it's a good time for him to hibernate.
Of course, when leaving the coal mine, Fu Hongxing and Monkey also took with them their reward for doing a good job.
Fu Hongxing received 300 jin of rice and 200 jin of coarse grains, while the monkey and the others received less, each receiving 100 jin of rice and 50 jin of coarse grains.
The monkey found a wooden cart, first hauled its own food home, then thought for a moment and took out 50 jin of rice and put it on the cart.
Seeing this, Fu Hongxing frowned and stopped him, asking, "What are you doing?"
The monkey chuckled and said, "Brother Hongxing, I was able to go out with you this time and even get praised by Director Kang, all because of you."
I'm a bachelor, I only need to eat my fill, and my whole family isn't hungry. There's so much food, I can't possibly finish it all.
In addition, I receive a salary every month and usually eat in the cafeteria.
I'm afraid this grain will spoil if left out for too long.
Your family is different. Even if you don't eat, your sister-in-law still has several younger brothers and sisters-in-law to feed!
Although you seem to have more grain than me, it probably won't be enough for me to eat for long.
This little bit of food is a small token of my appreciation for visiting my sister-in-law and younger siblings; it's not for you.
He was afraid that Fu Hongxing would refuse to accept it, so he made up an excuse.
Fu Hongxing opened his mouth, but could he admit that he had secretly bought some grain in his own name?
After hearing Fu Hongxing's words, the monkey followed Fu Hongxing to the place where the grain was being moved with a look of disbelief, and was immediately dumbfounded.
That pile of grain must weigh over a thousand pounds, right?
