Xia Jinnian and Tang Shiyan arrived at the threshing ground of the brigade headquarters, where many people were already waiting.
Everyone relied on that little bit of food to make a living, so when the time came to distribute food, everyone was very active.
The captain stood on the stage with a loud speaker and said, "Is everyone here for today's food distribution?"
Old Lady Yang said: "Captain, we have been waiting for so long, please quickly distribute the food to us instead of standing there and talking nonsense."
"Old lady Yang, why do you always act like you're so capable? No one would think you're dumb if you didn't speak."
"First of all, I have to make it clear that we distribute food according to the number of work points. Don't wait until some people get less and complain."
"When I tell you to be more active, more diligent, and do more work, you just keep complaining."
"Those who are cunning and cunning are afraid of hardship and fatigue. When the food is distributed, they just want to get more. There is no such good thing in the world."
"Okay, I won't say much. Now we'll start distributing food. Everyone line up and come one by one. If you cut in line and don't come in order, you'll be the last one to be distributed."
The food that others received was just enough to feed their families, and some who had extra food took some and exchanged the rest for cash.
Of course, the food Tang Shiyan received was enough for her to eat alone. She had originally asked the team leader to assign her an easy job just to pretend.
If she didn't work, there would be more food than she could eat, but there was no other way. If you didn't work these days, you would be criticized.
Others will definitely say that she doesn’t do any work in a day and I really don’t know where she gets food to eat?
The ones who received the least food were the Tang brothers and Meng Zhiqing. I really don’t know what they do all day?
When the team leader saw how little food they received, he was worried for them.
Because they had borrowed food from the brigade before, and now after the money they borrowed from the brigade was confiscated, they only had a little left in their hands.
At this time, Tang Wenhua said, "Captain, is there something wrong with the food you distributed? Why do we only have so little? Aren't you clearly bullying us?"
Tang Wenjing also echoed, "Yes, Captain, are you deliberately targeting our Tang family?
Look, any one of them has more food than us, so why do we only have so little?
"And that bitch Tang Shiyan only does such easy work every day, with so few work points, so why does she get more food than us?"
Tang Shiyan yelled at Tang Wenjing, "Stop calling her a bitch all the time, as if to show how noble you are."
"Don't you know why you only have so little food?"
"I've been gone for several days after working one day, and you still have the nerve to ask for more food. A grown man with healthy hands and feet is not proactive when he's working."
"You're always sneaky and cunning, afraid of hardship and hardship, and when the food is distributed, you want more. You really are wishful thinking."
"What's wrong with me doing easy work? I only get so much grain when I'm harvesting rice."
"I harvest more rice by myself than your family does."
I forgot, when your family was harvesting rice, it was only your wife who was doing it. I wonder where you grown men went to have some free time?
"Now you're showing up again when it's time to distribute food, and you're complaining that the captain didn't give you enough food. You're so shameless you could make bulletproof vests."
Tang Wenhua: "Tang Shiyan, we were your family after all. We worked so hard to raise you."
"You must not be ungrateful. Hurry up and give us your food as a token of your filial piety to us, your parents and elders."
"Uncle, you also know that it was in the past. That's in the past. We have nothing to do with each other now."
"Why should I give you food? Don't try to make connections here. I don't have parents or elders like you."
After Tang Shiyan finished speaking, she asked Xia Jinnian to carry the food back to her home. She didn't bother to pay attention to that family. They were lazy and ate all day long, and even wanted to take advantage of others.
The team leader was also confused by the Tang brothers and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say that the food you are given is too little. You don't even think about how much work you have done in a day."
"How many grown men with healthy hands and feet can't even get ten days of work done in a month?
"I never see you guys around. I wonder what you're doing all day long?"
"With the few work points your own wives earn, how much food do you think we can have?"
"And the food you borrowed from the brigade earlier, I have now taken it back, so you only have this little bit of food left."
"It's not enough to just work all day, but when the food is distributed you still want more food. You guys are really thinking big."
"From now on, if any of you don't work hard, don't come to me when you run out of food."
"We don't have that much food in our brigade to lend to lazy people like you."
After the captain finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back. The Tang family had no choice but to leave with the little food in their hands, looking dusty.
Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian carried the grain back home and put it into the house. Xia Jinnian looked at the time on his watch and said to Tang Shiyan.
"Yan Yan, it's still early. Let's take some things to the captain's house and ask him to choose a good day for us to hold the wedding."
"Also, ask him to issue us a marriage certificate. Then, take two days off so we can go to the city tomorrow to get the marriage certificate."
"Yan Yan, is this okay with you? When we go to the city, we can buy two more sets of clothes for the wedding. I also want to buy you some gifts that you like."
"You bought me so many clothes and a watch, I have to buy you some gifts."
"We have to get our marriage certificate and wedding as soon as possible and then go back to the army. Otherwise, if the army has any mission, I will have to go and carry out the mission."
"Okay, Jinnian, I think so too. Let's grab some things and go to the captain's house now."
"It just so happens that I also want to go to the black market in the city to trade. The last time I went there to trade, I guess the black market owner has sold most of the goods."
Tang Shiyan took out a bag of brown sugar, a bag of malted milk, a bottle of wine, and 20 eggs from the space.
I also grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and put them in my pocket. When I go to the captain's house and see his grandchildren, I have to give them a couple of candies to appease them.
The two men took their things and walked towards the captain's house. After a while, they arrived outside the captain's door.
Tang Shiyan called out, "Captain Uncle, are you and Aunt Huilan at home?"
