Chapter 2039 Great
"Xiaoxiao, are you ready to go back to the village now?" Liu Jianguo asked Lu Xiaoxiao when he saw Lu Xiaoxiao walking towards the ox cart.
"Yeah, Uncle Liu, didn't you go back with the grain delivery team? Why are you here?"
"The captain asked me to wait for you here. He said you would be back to the village soon and asked me to wait for you to go back together."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
"What's there to thank me for? It's just a matter of sitting here and smoking a few cigarettes. Besides, you came to the county town for the sake of the village, so it's my duty to take you back to the village."
After hearing what Liu Jianguo said, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else. She smiled and sat on the ox cart.
More than half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the village. After getting off the ox cart, she did not go home, but walked towards the captain's house.
"Auntie, are you feeding the pigs?" When Lu Xiaoxiao walked into the captain's house, she saw Aunt Caihua feeding the pigs, so she said to Aunt Caihua.
"Yeah, have you eaten yet?"
"not yet."
"My family is about to have lunch, so just have a bite at my house at noon."
"No, I have some leftovers from yesterday at home. I can just heat them up and eat them. I came here to talk to the captain. I wonder if he is home."
"Yes, go to the main room and find him."
"good."
When Lu Xiaoxiao entered the main room, she saw the captain sitting on the kang smoking. Because the captain had his back to her, he did not see her enter the main room.
"Captain, I'm back." Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the kang and said to the captain.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain immediately put his pipe aside and asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "How is it? Did you order food?"
"Yes, but not many."
"It's okay, as long as there is food."
“Three days later at eight o’clock in the evening, someone will deliver food to the village entrance. The captain should remember to have someone move the food.
Also, the price of grain is higher than that sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives, at 20 cents per pound.”
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain nodded and said, "Although two cents sounds expensive, these grains don't require tickets. This is more cost-effective than buying them from the supply and marketing cooperative. You've worked so hard."
"It's good to be of help."
"By the way, how much does the food cost in total? And who should I give the money for the food to?" the captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"One thousand two hundred dollars."
"You ordered 6,000 kilograms of food?" The captain looked at Lu Xiaoxiao in disbelief and asked.
"Well, someone I know happened to have one."
"That's great, that's really great." said the captain happily.
Originally, he thought that Lu Xiaoxiao had ordered one or two thousand kilograms of grain, but he never expected that Lu Xiaoxiao actually ordered six thousand kilograms, which was really beyond his expectations.
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little speechless when she saw the captain's excitement. Although 6,000 kilograms of grain sounded like a lot, there were more than 200 households in Tianshui Village. So each family could only get 23 kilograms of grain, which was enough for the whole family to eat for a week and did not alleviate the food shortage problem at all.
But this is not her business. She has done everything she can. The rest depends on the captain and her superiors.
"Captain, I'm going home. Remember to bring people to the village entrance at 8 o'clock three days later."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao left the captain's house, she looked at Zhang and Zhao who were walking towards her. She nodded at them and quickened her pace to leave.
"Sister-in-law, do you think Lu Xiaoxiao came to our house to complain?" Zhao asked Zhang uneasily.
