In the end, in addition to the 40 kilograms of food allocated to each family, five sacks were also packed!
Several people inside also crawled out of the cave. They were all covered in dust and dirt. The village chief gave each of them 10 kilograms of food.
Those who didn’t get in envy me and wish they were half as tall as me.
Even so, there are still 4 and a half bags left.
"I'll make the decision on how to distribute this food to a few villagers whose conditions are particularly poor."
"The people over at the cowshed have to send 40 kilograms too. Don't object to this. After all, if anyone really has a headache or a fever, they still have to rely on the people over there for help, right?"
"This is food we snatched from rats. Even though the four and a half bags left don't look like much, they're from the bottom, mixed with a lot of sand, gravel, and dirt. If we cleaned it all out, there wouldn't even be three bags left!"
Jiang Xian explained it in detail in order to avoid making others unhappy.
"Village Chief, please stop talking. We have no objection to distributing the remaining money to those in need!"
"This last bit of food was also packed by us old guys. There is indeed a lot of sand, dirt, and leaves in it!"
"We didn't check carefully because it was so dark. If we really wanted to pick, we probably wouldn't have even three bags!"
One of the old men who went into the underground cave stood up and spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, those who wanted to object shut up.
This old man has always had a good reputation in the village. He is a loyal and honest person, and everyone is willing to believe what he says.
"Village Chief, please distribute the food quickly. We still have to go back. It's too cold outside!"
The initial enthusiasm has faded, and now everyone is shivering from the cold.
Before, I didn’t feel anything when I pulled the rope from time to time to do some work, but now that I’m doing nothing, I feel cold all over.
"Okay, I won't talk any more nonsense!"
"Those whose names I call, come up and get the food!"
After the village chief finished speaking, he began to call out the names of families in difficult circumstances one by one.
As more and more people stepped forward, everyone became more respectful towards the village chief.
There is not a single person here who has connections with others. They are all people from the village who are truly in need.
Either there are many strong children but few laborers, or there are disabled people, or they are elderly people living alone.
It is difficult for these people to earn work points on a daily basis, and the situation is even more difficult this year.
Families that have never had enough to eat in previous years received so much less food this year.
People who were originally going to be eliminated by hunger might be able to survive with this food.
After everything was completely divided, Jiang Xian had the cave entrance covered again.
They erased the traces of their crawling and threw some more stones over here.
Only then did he bring his fellow villagers back to the village.
"Be careful when you get home. If you get bumped into, make up an excuse and don't let anyone know what happened today!"
After a busy night, Jiang Xian felt very tired!
He watched the villagers go back to their homes, then walked around the village before returning to his own home.
The man who took the food back home did not say anything. Instead, he handed the food to his wife and did not let her ask any more questions. He just said that they could not say anything and then secretly put the food away.
There was a woman who was trying to find out the source of the food, but she stopped making trouble after being scolded by her husband.
Family members know their own business, and everyone knows what the consequences will be if this matter is leaked.
Even if the woman was the head of the household, the masters would keep silent when they took the food back.
This matter passed quietly without outsiders knowing about it.
Even the educated youth in the brigade didn't hear a word of it.
Even among the families that received food, few of the younger generations knew about this matter except the head of the family.
Even if they knew, they would just think that the head of the family had exchanged it for something outside.
Three days later, the town called and asked the workers in each village to go back to work.
Because Tang Xinyi had been kidnapped before, she asked Director Li for leave to recuperate at home.
Although she had consulted a doctor, who said she was fine, her family still wanted her to rest for a while.
What's more, at this time of year, there is not much work to do at the supply and marketing cooperative.
That is, those account books, which I check over and over again every day. This is not the time to expand my business.
Director Li was very easy to talk to, and with the testimony of the security team leader, Tang Xinyi took another long vacation.
This made Huang Cuilian, who had just been scolded by Director Li, very angry.
“Ah~”
"Who's saying bad things about you behind your back again, sister-in-law? You've already sneezed several times today!"
Seeing her sister-in-law sneezing five or six times in the afternoon, Jiang Yanli looked at her with some concern.
If she hadn't tried several times and her sister-in-law didn't have a fever, would she really suspect that she was sick?
"Maybe someone is talking about me behind my back!"
"By the way, Yanli, aren't you going to work tomorrow? Have you packed your things?"
I can be lazy and take leave to rest at home, but my sister-in-law is not so lucky.
Being able to stay at home for one more day is already a favor given by Director Li.
"Everything is packed. Big brother has already sent all my things to town."
"Sister-in-law, please come back to town with me. I'm really scared living in town alone!"
"Otherwise I'd have to run back and forth home. Look how deep the snow is outside. It's not easy to run home once!"
People shovel the snow on the town roads every day, but no one cares about the snow in the muddy fields in the countryside.
Jiang Yanli felt numb all over when she thought about having to wade through thick snow to run back every day.
"You, just be good and go with your big brother tomorrow morning!"
"I'll go there in the afternoon. Your eldest brother wants to take me to the hospital to see a doctor!"
Tang Xinyi didn't take the kicking incident seriously.
She felt that she had been holding her strength and her internal organs should not be injured.
Moreover, the barefoot doctor we invited also said that these were only external injuries and there was no internal damage.
But for some reason, Tang Xinyi still felt a dull pain in her stomach.
The pain was like the dysmenorrhea pain you experience when your period is about to come, but she was not having her period at this time.
Jiang Yanzhi was still worried about this, so he planned to take her to the clinic in town for another check-up.
If that doesn't work, I can only take it to the city to have a look.
After spending another night at home, Jiang Yanzhi sent Jiang Yanli to town early the next morning.
Then he came back for lunch at noon and took Tang Xinyi to the town.
Niu Niu and He Xianjun stayed in their hometown and were taken care of by the village chief and his wife.
After spending so much time together, the two little guys have developed feelings for the village chief and his wife.
Every time Niu Niu and He Xianjun returned home, they slept in the same room with the village chief and others.
In addition, the couple has quite a few treasures, and now they have completely won over the two children.
