Qiao Xiazhi shook his head: "No, no, no, it's definitely not that simple."
Hearing this, Su Fang felt as if his secret had been discovered, and said, "Well, you're too tired from driving the cart, take a rest here for a while, I'll go to the fields to look for my uncle and aunt."
Before Qiao Xiazhi could say anything, Su Fang had already disappeared.
Qiao Xiazhi:!!!
It seems like he was the one who drove for more than two hours?
If anyone was going to be tired, he should be the one who was relatively tired, after all, she had been sleeping in the back seat for more than an hour on the way.
She also slept all the way back on the train last night.
And, most importantly, this seems to be her home, right?
It seems that he is just a guest in her house, right?
Shouldn't she be the one looking for someone?
So, what happened during the two months she was away from home?
Qiao Xiazhi looked at the direction where Su Fang disappeared and raised the corner of his mouth.
In less than half an hour, Su Fang called Fang Mei back.
Because it was the busy farming season, all the able-bodied people in the family had gone to work in the fields, and it would be almost noon soon. If everyone came back without finishing the work, they would definitely not get any work points. If they didn't get any work points, then the work they had done in the morning would be in vain.
So Fang Mei came back alone to open the door. It was almost time for dinner, so it was okay to arrange for someone to come back and cook.
"Mom." Qiao Xiazhi's first reaction when he saw Fang Mei was to open his arms and hug Fang Mei tightly, while acting coquettishly at the same time.
Fang Mei rubbed Qiao Xiazhi's back lovingly and said, "Why did you come back alone? Where's Yun Chen?"
Qiao Xiazhi let go of Fang Mei and pouted, "Humph, mother has forgotten her daughter now that she has a son-in-law. She doesn't even care whether her daughter has been doing well outside for the past two months. As soon as she sees her, she asks why her son-in-law hasn't come back."
"Your son-in-law is very busy. There will be a celebration for the National Day, so I came back alone to check. Is everything going well at home?"
Fang Mei opened the gate and said, "It rained heavily some time ago, but our team noticed something was wrong and started the autumn harvest two days earlier. Fortunately, we harvested all the rice before the heavy rain came."
"The weather has only cleared up in the past two days, so we have started to take the rice out to dry. Fortunately, it was harvested early and has not been soaked by rain, so it has not rotted or sprouted."
"I heard that several teams in Wuyang County were late in harvesting the rice, and later all the rice fell in the fields and many of them sprouted. Our area is relatively good."
Qiao Xiazhi: "It's good as long as all the grain is harvested. If there is not much damage, it won't have a big impact. When the grain is distributed, remember to buy more and store it at home. We don't know what the situation will be this year, so we won't panic if we have grain in our hands."
Fang Mei: "The brigade held a meeting a few days ago, and the brigade leader also told us in advance that although our brigade's grain was not damaged much, after paying the public grain, the amount of grain left over after each household was distributed must not exceed 50 kilograms per person."
Qiao Xiazhi nodded: "Yes, this is right. Otherwise, some people buy cheap food from the brigade and then sell it at a high price. And this can also prevent some people from hoarding too much food and not being able to buy food outside. This is easy to cause trouble."
After saying this, Qiao Xiazhi did another calculation in his mind.
The per capita food intake does not exceed 50 kilograms. Since she has married out of their family, there are only seven places. 350 kilograms of food is neither too much nor too little.
After all, 350 kilograms are raw grain.
Adding on the work points, I guess there won’t be much.
Their family’s work points must be much less this year, after all, the whole family took a lot of leave during the wedding period.
The grain distributed after the autumn harvest will last until the summer harvest of the following year, which is around June.
That's more than half a year.
But she was not worried that her family would have no food to eat, after all, she was there.
Qiao Xiazhi's words just now directly blocked what Su Fang was about to say. Noticing that Su Fang's expression was not right, Qiao Xiazhi asked again: "Officer Su, do you have anything to say?"
Su Fang quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's okay."
He originally wanted to ask the Qiao family to help buy some food from the brigade.
As a result, he is now restricted. The Qiao family may not even have enough food to eat, so how can they take care of him?
Although he didn't say it, Qiao Xiazhi still had no idea, so he said, "Don't worry about the food. The last time I went to Hai City to buy food, I knew someone who could get food, and the price was fair."
"But due to your identity, I definitely cannot let you know. I'll help you get some from him. You can discuss with your family to see how much you need, and I'll try my best to get it for you."
Upon hearing this, Su Fang was like seeing a savior, and said happily: "Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law first. I will discuss it with my family when I go back."
Qiao Xiazhi nodded.
Fang Mei: "You two can chat first, I'll go cook."
Qiao Xiazhi: "I'll go help my mother. Officer Su has something you can help with."
Su Fang: "What's the matter? I'm happy to help."
Qiao Xiazhi looked at the jujube tree in the yard.
Su Fang immediately understood.
Afterwards, Qiao Xiazhi and her mother went into the kitchen to cook, while Su Fang went alone in the yard to pick dates.
The jujubes in the south ripen relatively late, but the jujubes from the jujube tree in Qiao Xiazhi's yard are usually available from late September.
In the past, the fruit would grow in large quantities every year, and the ones they couldn’t finish eating would be picked and dried into dried red dates.
You can eat the dried red dates yourself or take them to the commune to exchange for money.
The date tree is doing very well this year and is full of fruits.
Now that it is ripe, it is even more delicious.
"Mom, has anything big happened at home during the two months I was away?" When he arrived in the kitchen, Qiao Xiazhi began to ask in a subtle way.
