After giving two kilograms of yellow rice and two kilograms of black flour to Li Fuman, Li Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief and her psychological pressure was immediately reduced a lot.
Li Fuman glanced at the food in the cloth bag, and then saw Li Jinfeng, whose face was dirty and sweaty, and he felt self-blame and guilt in his heart.
"Jinfeng... you have worked hard! You have taken such a big risk for this family. Grandpa is sorry for you. Once the work in the production team is done, don't go to the night market to buy things. Grandpa will go. Grandpa is old and is not afraid of anything!" said Li Fuman.
"Grandpa, the night market has been strictly controlled recently. I didn't exchange this grain at the night market." Li Jinfeng said.
Hearing about the strict arrest, Li Fuman's face changed. "Then...then you are not in danger, right? Otherwise, how about doing as I say and letting Brother Dahu or Brother Dahe go with you to the county town? They are tall and strong, and they can protect you if anything happens!"
This was not the first time that Li Fuman suggested asking Li Dahu and Li Dahe to follow him to the county town.
As usual, Li Jinfeng used the work points issue as an excuse. "Grandpa, I will protect myself. My eldest and second brothers are both good at housework. They earn the most work points a day among all the men in the production team. If they stop working, the family's work points will be reduced by more than half. I can handle it myself. If I can't, I won't switch!"
Li Fuman sighed for a long time.
Suddenly, Li Jinfeng took out three cigarettes from her pocket and gave them to him.
"Grandpa, I met the brother who ate allocated grain last time again today. This time I helped him a little bit. This is what he gave me!" said Li Jinfeng.
It is really not easy for Li Fuman to work for this family.
The original owner’s death had nothing to do with him. If he hadn’t protected Zhang Xiu Lan and the original owner over the years, who knows what their lives would have been like.
Therefore, when appropriate, she would also show her filial piety to her grandfather Li Fuman, even if it was just a few small cigarettes.
"Good boy!" Li Fuman sighed, then continued, "From now on, you'd better not ask for other people's things. This cigarette is a good thing no matter who has it. Grandpa is a rough man and shouldn't use such a good thing!"
"Okay!" Li Jinfeng responded obediently.
"Let's go, let's eat!"
…
On the day Li Jinfeng went to the county town, Zhang Xiu Lan did not go out to work.
Of course, this is what Li Fuman meant.
Otherwise, Zhang Xiu Lan would have to endure the discomfort and go to work in the fields.
In the past few days, the work of the production team has reached a dire stage. Every morning and evening, the team leader mobilizes everyone in the production team to work hard to harvest and plant, so as to collect the grain into the production team's granary as soon as possible.
After paying the public grain tax, the grain was immediately distributed to the villagers.
As long as we can hold on until the food is distributed, life will be better for everyone.
During dinner, Li Fuman talked about the work done by several members of the Li family and the mistakes they made that day as usual.
The first ones to be pulled out were naturally Li Aiju and Li Ailan.
"Li Ailan, what's wrong with you? You can't do the job of looking after the cows, and now you're not willing to do other work. Do you think the production team belongs to your family?"
Li Ailan's new job was to go to the pig farm to collect pig manure, which was a torture for Li Ailan, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She had already been feeling nauseous all day, and now, after hearing Li Fuman's words, her eyes immediately turned red. "How do I know why the team leader wants to remove me from my job of tending the cows? I don't want to go to the pig manure field. It's dirty and smelly there. I won't go!"
