That night, Lu Zhiye went directly to the brigade headquarters. While Captain Lu and Secretary He were there, he took out the envelope.
"Captain Lu, it happens that you are all here. I want to buy some food from the brigade."
Captain Lu knocked the pipe in his hand against the mud wall at the door and asked, "What's the matter? Is your family short of food?"
Lu Zhiye opened the envelope, and the money inside shocked both Captain Lu and Secretary He.
"Where did this come from?"
“This is the reward given to us by the female comrade we rescued earlier.
If I give the money directly, I'm afraid it will bring some bad trouble to our team.
It would be bad if someone caught us and accused us of being greedy for money.”
Captain Lu's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Well, does anyone else know about this?"
Lu Zhiye shook his head: "It was Secretary Zhang who was next to Comrade Zheng Xiang who personally handed the money to me.
He also said that I was the only one who knew about this matter, and they would know nothing about it once they left the door.
I thought that if I divided the money directly, I would probably get criticized.
Half of the money was used to buy food.
Each of us took a portion, and the rest was left for the barefoot doctor.
I wonder what you think? "
Captain Lu pondered for a moment and felt that this was indeed a good idea: "I heard from Dayong that you played a big role in saving people this time.
So you just take the lion's share of the compensation they give you, and then you just have to share the rest with them."
"That's right, Xiao Lu. Also, how much food do you want to buy?"
"Buy the one for 400 yuan, and pay the barefoot doctor directly with food!"
When Captain Lu heard 400 yuan, he was shocked: "What the hell? How much is it?"
"Comrade Zhu Xiuli gave a total of 800 yuan, and I thought it would be 400 yuan, 100 yuan each for us.
The rest were all exchanged for food. Based on my understanding of Zhou Zhiqing and Niu Liye, they have great hopes of getting into university.
It is estimated that there are still two or three months before the admission letters are distributed.
They may not need that much food, so let's see if Dayong wants it. If he wants it, let them exchange the food directly with Dayong."
Captain Lu just felt that a fantasy event had occurred in this world. Wasn’t it just about helping to pull the people up and then carrying them down the mountain?
Why did you give away your life savings?
If this is the case, what is the point of being a captain?
From now on, he will stay in the back mountain, and when he sees someone needs help, he will just wait and help.
These rewards alone are enough to support their family for several years.
Secretary He swallowed his saliva and then expressed his doubts: "Xiao Lu, my brain is not as fast as yours.
I still don't quite understand. Since you said that, Secretary Zhang said that once you leave this room, no one else will know about the money given to you.
Can't you just divide the money with a few people while others don't know?
Why go through so much trouble?"
Lu Zhiye said calmly, “Just because Secretary Zhang and the others said they didn’t know doesn’t mean the public security comrades in the county don’t know.
Comrade Zhu Xiuli will definitely report to the public security comrades about her plan to reward us.
We can control our own mouths, but we can’t control other people’s!
Who in the surrounding area doesn't have any relatives?
There is one more thing I would like to ask of you two. The public security comrades will definitely go to several nearby villages to investigate this matter involving Zhu Xiuli.
When the time comes, you will make a big fuss about how difficult it was for us to carry the person down and how hard it was to save him.
In this way, no one will say anything if you take food or money."
This is how the world works. If you say you saved someone, 200 yuan will be shared among four people.
It is very easy to arouse envy, but if you say that 100 yuan is divided, the rest is food.
Food is the most important thing for people. If food is eaten quickly, it will not attract much attention unless it is used as savings.
Secretary He suddenly realized: "So that's it, I was thinking wrong.
Come, I will register all the food you want to buy. The food you bought for 400 yuan is divided into five portions, right?"
"Cereals are now 1.7 yuan, 400 yuan worth of grain, that's about 2,353 yuan.
Divided into five parts, it is about 470 kilograms, and the remaining part will be counted on the barefoot doctor.
What do you think? "
"Old He, you are really good at calculating! I will give you what you deserve.
There is no need to ask Dayong, I will make the decision directly and buy 200 kilograms of grain from Zhou Zhiqing and Niu Zhiqing."
Their family has been farmers for generations, and Lu Yong has two children at home who are crying for food.
The most important thing is that Captain Lu doesn't think that his son's half-baked learning ability is enough to get him into university.
This grain can be kept at home and used for food and drink in the coming year.
Lu Zhiye nodded: "Then I will give you the money. Also, give me the food directly. I will push the cart to give it to Niu Zhiqing and the others."
After the few people completed the handover, Lu Zhiye pulled nearly 900 kilograms of food and walked slowly towards the educated youth site.
When he came to a deserted place, he directly put his food into the space.
It was late at night and there weren't many people outside, so no one saw this scene.
Only the heavy gears of the carriage were left, spreading from the entrance of the brigade to the educated youth site.
Lu Zhiye unloaded all the food at his home and sent An An to call Zhou Guoliang and Niu Liye over.
