Chapter 168: Food Distribution Farce (V)
After hearing what everyone said, the captain said, "Everyone knows about the grain delivery to the county town a few days ago. Originally, our team's grain could not be rated as first-class grain. It was Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao who relied on her intelligence and wisdom to make our team's grain be rated as first-class grain.
After discussion within the team, we plan to reward Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao with 15 catties of coarse grains and 5 catties of fine grains. Do you agree?"
After hearing what the captain said, everyone looked towards Lu Xiaoxiao. They didn't expect that this young educated youth like Lu was so capable. She really helped their team a lot. It was right to give her these rewards. Moreover, the amount of food rewarded to her was not much when divided among each of them, so they had no objection.
The captain was very happy to see that everyone agreed with his suggestion, so he said, "Since no one has any objection, then Lu Zhiqing, you should go and get the food."
After receiving the grain, Lu Xiaoxiao moved the grain to the entrance of the threshing ground with the help of an enthusiastic villager. She did not expect that the work points plus the basic grain and the bonus grain would amount to more than 500 kilograms, which was far beyond her previous expectations.
Not long after Lu Xiaoxiao stood at the entrance, she saw her second sister and her father running hurriedly towards the threshing ground. Seeing how anxious they were, they were probably worried that she wouldn't be able to move the grain.
"Uncle, second sister, you don't have to rush here. I won't be tired if I wait here for a while. I feel bad seeing you running around and sweating all over."
"Hehe...Xiaoxiao, I urged my dad to come quickly because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to move when you got the food."
"Thank you, second sister."
"You are my good friend, and you have helped me a lot, so you don't have to be polite. You should move the food back home as soon as possible."
With the help of her second sister and her father, the grain was transported back home in two trips. Lu Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction as she looked at so much grain in the house. This was the result of a year's work of cutting grass for pigs. She felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Lu Xiaoxiao came to the cowshed at night. She originally wanted to ask the master how much food they had distributed, but when she saw the two bags of food piled against the wall, she was so angry that she didn't want to say anything.
The master and the other two had worked for nearly half a year, and they were the hardest and most tired. Unexpectedly, the food they received was not even half of what she received. It was obvious that they wanted to starve people to death.
Seeing his apprentice's face darkened due to anger, Master Fan sighed and said, "Don't be angry, Xiao girl. In fact, with our current status, the team is already taking care of us by giving us so much food.
You have to know that there are many people like us who were framed and sent to the village to work. Most of them did not survive and died of starvation or illness, so we are very content to be able to live well now. "
As soon as Mr. Fan finished speaking, Foreman Xie also spoke up, "Yes, Xiao girl, we are very content with our current life, you don't have to worry about us starving to death.
Now that the autumn harvest is over, we have a lot of free time every day besides cleaning the cowshed, so we can go up the mountain to find some mountain products, which together with the food can definitely sustain us for a year."
After listening to what Mr. Fan and Foreman Xie said, Professor Zhang and Professor Wang both agreed and said, "Don't be angry, Xiao girl, or you'll get sick from it."
Seeing the masters' optimistic attitude and their constant words of comfort to her, Lu Xiaoxiao's anger finally dissipated a lot. In fact, only a small part of the reason she was angry just now was because of the small amount of food distributed, and the vast majority of it was because of those villains who framed the masters.
