Chapter 162: Grain Delivery (V)
After leaving the tailor shop, Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the grain station. When she arrived at the grain station, she saw that it was not their team's turn yet, so she ran to the grain registration area, intending to see how grain was delivered.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the grain delivery office, she saw a person in charge of registration at the grain station walk up to a bag of grain and untie the rope. Then he grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it, then walked to another bag, untied the rope and looked at the rice inside.
He looked at more than a dozen bags of food and shook his head. Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao wondered if the food in this brigade was substandard.
Before she could think about it, she saw the person in charge of delivering grain from the brigade secretly stuffing two packs of cigarettes into the pocket of the person in charge of the grain station. If she hadn't been watching them, she wouldn't have noticed.
The person in charge of the grain station felt his pocket, then coughed and said, "First-class grain from the Red Star Production Brigade."
Lu Xiaoxiao was completely speechless when she saw this scene. She didn't expect this kind of operation could happen. It seemed that she had to go and tell the captain about this situation. Since she was now in the Victory Production Brigade, she couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Uncle, come here, I have something to talk to you about."
"Xiaoxiao, it will be our team's turn to deliver the rations soon. If the matter is not urgent, can we talk about it after the rations are delivered?"
"Uncle, it's about delivering the grain. Come here quickly, or it will be too late."
"Xiaoxiao, tell me what happened."
"Uncle, I just saw the head of the grain station shaking his head after looking at the grain of the Red Star Production Brigade. But after the leader of the Red Star Production Brigade secretly stuffed two packs of cigarettes into his pocket, the grain of the Red Star Brigade was rated as first-class grain."
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"Uncle, I promise that what I said is what I just saw, so I rushed to talk to you about this."
"Well, it's useless even if we know now. It's our team's turn soon. Even if we have time to buy tickets, there are no tickets."
"Uncle, look what's in my bag."
After hearing this, the captain leaned over to look inside the bag, then asked in surprise and excitement: "How did you get this?"
"Hehe...didn't I go to my uncle's house in the city some time ago? When I came back, he gave me some tickets. When I was sorting them out yesterday, I found two cigarette tickets in them. And the tickets were about to expire, so I came to the county today to use them."
"Xiaoxiao, I'm shamelessly borrowing two packs of cigarettes from you this time. I'll try to get a cigarette ticket and return it to you when I get back."
"Uncle, I am also a member of the team now. I am very happy to be able to help the team. You can use the cigarettes without returning them. I don't smoke."
"Okay, I won't be polite, but I won't give you this cigarette for nothing. I'll discuss with the team and give you a reward when we get back."
"Thank you, uncle. Take these three packs of cigarettes."
"Two packs are enough, why do you need three?"
"The Red Star Production Brigade sent two bags before, so we'll send one more just in case."
"Okay then. I'll go over first."
More than an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao heard the news from the registration office: First-class grain from the Victory Production Brigade, and she knew that the three packs of cigarettes had worked.
It was already past five in the evening when Lu Xiaoxiao returned home. She had completely walked to the county town this time. Although she was not physically tired due to her martial arts training, she was wearing handmade cloth shoes, and her feet were rubbed by the stones for a long time, resulting in several blisters. It was really painful.
Lu Xiaoxiao endured the pain and used a needle to prick the blisters, then applied medicine and felt better. She originally wanted to bring food to the masters, but now she can forget about it. She should just lie down on the kang and have a good rest, and try to walk normally tomorrow.
