Chapter 343: Food Prices Plummet 1
Feng Qingxue seldom goes out, so she cannot tell the world what Wang Jiao said, but Wang Jiao has a mouth of her own.
She first told her husband's family and her own family the good news of her pregnancy. Then she held her head and said she was tired, dizzy, wanted to vomit, her body was weak, and she had stars in front of her eyes. Then she lay down on the bed openly. Except to eat or go to the toilet, no one could call her to get up.
Zhang Yuejin's parents dared not say anything because their son was so obedient to Wang Jiao, and they still had to cook for her after finishing their farm work.
After learning that his wife was pregnant, Zhang Yuejin held Wang Jiao in his hands, and tried every means to nourish her body every day. Today she would bring back a piece of meat, tomorrow she would bring back a bag of fruit, or at least some candies. Wang Jiao was so happy that she felt she was living a fairy-like life. She smiled at Zhang Yuejin every day, and Zhang Yuejin was very happy.
Wang Zhengguo and Miao Fengqin were well aware of their daughter's character and were both angry and amused. Anyway, Zhang Yuejin's salary was enough to support her, and if the work points were not enough for food, they could just let Zhang Yuejin pay for the work points.
Feng Qingxue has not been working recently and has been concentrating on taking care of the children at home. She has the same idea in mind.
But she was not idle and still frequently went out to see patients and deliver babies.
Therefore, the old couple didn't care about their daughter's behavior of bluffing to avoid work.
The weather was good this year. After the wheat was paid as the tax, the remaining wheat was stored in the warehouse smoothly. The summer sweet potatoes and autumn corn had just been planted when a heavy rain came down. Within two days, the ground was full of green seedlings. It was a delight to see.
Two are lifted, four are turned over, six are sitting, seven are rolling, eight are crawling, nine are standing with support, and week are walking.
This sentence describes all the developmental stages of a baby's first year.
Because Lu Jiang was not at home, after receiving his two most recent letters, Feng Qingxue was completely sure that this guy had written the letters in advance and asked someone to send them home. He was not in the army at all, otherwise he would not have called the baby "baby" all the time in the letters and did not even write the baby's name. So she insisted on keeping a parenting diary for him to read when he came back and participate in her son's growth.
"Xiaoxue, do you have any food coupons?" Feng Qingxue had just coaxed her son to sleep when she heard Wang Zhengguo's voice outside the door.
Feng Qingxue hurriedly welcomed him in, "Yes, A Jiang's comrades just sent some food coupons, and I was just about to ask Tian Jun and A Cheng to go to the city to exchange some food and send it to them."
This comrade-in-arms was Huo Beiting. Every month he would send a lot of tickets and money, with the letters full of tears of gratitude.
Wang Zhengguo said happily: "Don't bother yourself so much, just give me the food coupons and I will give you food."
Feng Qingxue was stunned, "Uncle, what do you want the food coupons for?"
"It's not what I want, it's what the folks down there need." Wang Zhengguo had a smile on his face. "Isn't the market good this year? Many young men and women are dating, and to date someone, they have to go to the city, right? Young men care about their reputation, and it would be embarrassing if they don't go to a state-owned restaurant to have a meal in the city. So, they all need food coupons, and they come to me for help."
Feng Qingxue said strangely: "I remember that if we farmers need food coupons, we can take them to the grain management office to exchange them."
"Yes, isn't this a problem? The military food coupons in your hand are so useful! People in the city are eager to get them." Wang Zhengguo said, lowering his voice, "Our production team has stored a lot of food this year. If you have food coupons, feel free to exchange them with me. There are many people who want food coupons in the city, so don't go to the city to attract attention."
