Chapter 41: A Cigarette is Hard to Find



"Pay back the debt?" Li Fuman repeated Li Jinfeng's words.

Li Jinfeng nodded, "Yes, it's to pay back the debt."

After hearing this, Li Fuman could understand.

Not to mention other places, just talk about your own production team. If someone encounters a serious illness or a major disaster and needs to go to the hospital, or urgently needs to buy something but has no money, they can first borrow from the production team.

But it's not a free loan, you have to pay it back.

At the end of the year, the production team would reconcile the accounts. If anyone borrowed money and didn't pay it back, they would lose the chance to get the grain during the New Year distribution and would have to use the grain to pay for the debt.

In such a long and cold winter, if we don’t distribute food, aren’t we just waiting to die?

So these people would try their best to find ways to raise money and return it to the production team.

Some went to the county town to do hard labor, and some simply did what Jin Feng girl encountered, selling things for money.

"Girl Jinfeng, I don't object to you going to the night market, but you must remember to be careful. No matter what time it is, things are far less important than human life. Also, don't tell anyone about this, including your mother."

It’s not that Li Fuman doesn’t trust Zhang Xiu Lan. He is satisfied with this daughter-in-law in every aspect. In addition, her father had done him a favor in the past, so he remembers the kindness of the Zhang family in his heart.

But this daughter-in-law is too soft-hearted. Compared with Jinfeng, the two useless granddaughters are more favored by her.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of her identity, Li Fuman would have scolded and scolded her, asking why her mother didn't know how to take better care of such a good and sensible daughter.

Li Jinfeng was indeed not ready to tell Zhang Xiu Lan about what happened at the night market.

She will not reveal her secret until she successfully transforms Zhang Xiu Lan.

"Master, I know! When I went out, I smeared mud on my face so no one recognized me. But how do you explain this food?" Li Jinfeng threw the difficult problem to Li Fuman.

After a moment's silence, Li Fuman spoke, "Grandpa, carry this food on your back and find a deserted place outside to sleep for the night. Come back tomorrow morning and say it's from a relative."

After hearing this method, Li Jinfeng wanted to applaud Li Fuman. In this way, not only would the Li family members not be able to find fault with it, even the villagers would not be able to say anything.

There's no way around it. These days, everyone has relatives who eat government-funded food.

The key is whether others are willing to give it to you.

"Then I'll just leave. You and your grandma later... Forget it, don't worry about it. I'll tell you tomorrow."

Li Aiju and Li Ailan had just been beaten. Li Fuman was afraid that his wife would vent her anger on Li Jinfeng, so he simply forbade her from contacting his wife to avoid suffering.

"Grandpa, wait a minute, I have something to give you!" Li Jinfeng said.

After saying that, she took out five Golden Leaf cigarettes from her pocket. However, the cigarettes had been in her pocket for so long that their shape had become somewhat deformed, and one of them was even broken into two pieces.

But there was no other way. She couldn't take out the cigarette box. In this era, you had to buy industrially rolled cigarettes.

It was easy for her to explain the food issue, but when it came to cigarettes, especially those that were packaged, she couldn't explain it even if she had eight mouths.

Li Fuman smokes, but the conditions do not allow it at the moment, so even the tobacco leaves he smokes are strictly controlled.

Even those who eat commercial grain in the city may not be able to get a chance to smoke it, let alone ordinary people.

The moment he saw the cigarettes, Li Fuman was so excited that he almost cried.

Cigarettes are good things. He can't even remember how long it has been since he last touched this treasure.
