Chapter 67 The Feeling of a Rich Landlord
"Mom, look what I prepared for you!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao opened the cabinet.
Fan Xiuying's jaw dropped with shock.
There were four bags of food stacked full in the cupboard.
It looks like white flour.
"Where are you from?"
Fan Xiuying's voice dropped an octave.
"I met a man on the road today. Someone in his family was sick and needed money urgently. He said he was from Dawang Village nearby. His family had received a lot of grain, and he wanted to exchange it for money to see a doctor. He needed money urgently and didn't want grain coupons. The price he asked was not high, the same as the price at the grain store! I thought I could kill two birds with one stone.
Not only did they get out of trouble, but we were also able to buy food readily available.
This is something you can’t buy even with your grain book, so I decided without hesitation to buy 400 kilograms of white flour. I used this flour to make the buns just now. I think it tastes very fresh.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao had already thought of an excuse.
They have several villages here. Near their factory there are Xiaowang Village, Dawang Village, Xiaojingyu Village and so on. They are all nearby rural areas and the only places with land for growing crops.
When Fan Xiuying heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Oh, you are so lucky, kid. There is actually such a good person. He sells the food without adding a penny. He is not afraid that you will tell others and catch him in the act. It will be a disaster if so much food is confiscated."
But I still felt good when I touched the real white flour with a smack in my mouth.
As long as there is food at home, I won’t feel worried.
She and Jiang Laoshi's monthly ration is only 27.5 kilograms each, which adds up to 55 kilograms. Children under 18 years old only get 16 kilograms per month, so now there are a total of 400 kilograms of food.
If that's the case, a year's food rations will be available immediately.
How could I not be happy?
"Mom, don't tell anyone, but I have good news. The uncle said that they don't lack food, and if there is a chance, they can exchange some for us. I will go there again in a few days, maybe I can get more, so don't let grandma and grandpa go back then.
When I go to Kenqing Farm, there will be food, and I want my grandparents to live comfortably in the city. Mom, you must promise me that."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was just worried. If she were in the village, her grandparents might die early, just like in her previous life, when her grandfather died early.
She couldn't bear to see her grandparents suffer in this life.
In this life, she has the ability to give her grandparents a good life, so she can't bear to see them suffer.
After being reborn, God gave her a golden finger, not so that she would watch her family go back to their old ways.
Fan Xiuying's eyes were filled with jealousy. "Really?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded and patted his chest to assure that he had plenty of space.
Just one more night and there will be a large quantity tomorrow.
It’s not a problem to get thousands of kilograms of flour for my parents.
"I've already made an appointment with them."
Fan Xiuying was tempted. With food, she would no longer have to worry about her parents' food supply here.
How could she not agree to be with her parents and take care of them?
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow."
"no!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's anxious attempt to stop her aroused Fan Xiuying's suspicion.
"Why are you being so loud kid? Why not? It's better for your mother to step in on this kind of thing than for you, a kid, to step in."
Fan Xiuying immediately suspected that her daughter was planning to do something bad again.
Their girl was just a little willful and spoiled before, but now!
He is a first-rate troublemaker, has big ideas, and dares to do whatever he thinks of.
Jiang Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that she was too impatient.
The secret must not be revealed.
"Mom! I don't let you go for your own good. The uncle said yesterday that I can't take strangers with me casually, otherwise he won't show up. Mainly, he's afraid that I'll report him. You said that everything was fine, and I suddenly took you there. Then the uncle would refuse to admit that he was selling food. What should I do?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's mind worked very quickly and she came up with an idea immediately.
Fan Xiuying nodded, "That's right! Who dares to let outsiders know about this kind of thing? If you take me there casually, I'm afraid they will suspect that we want to harm them. After all, it would be a big deal if we catch them in the act.
But if you, a girl, were to do something like this and get caught, what would happen? "
Fan Xiuying was already worried about many things, mainly about her own daughter. If she was caught in the act, she would be charged with speculation.
This will become a stain and the leaders will look down on you when you arrive at the farm.
Besides, speculation will lead to jail time.
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew what Fan Xiuying was thinking at a glance.
"Mom, don't worry about it. The elder brother has already thought about it. If he is caught, he can say that it was our relative who sent food to another relative. Is that illegal?"
She is very good at making up stories.
Since her rebirth, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that she was almost becoming a liar.
Just open your mouth.
Fan Xiuying was still worried, but these were several hundred kilograms of food, and it would be nonsense to say that she didn't want it.
In those days, every household had no oil or water, and the small amount of food supply was not enough to fill their stomachs.
Every family has to buy food at the beginning of the month. Before the middle of the month, they have to borrow food coupons from their neighbors to buy food.
Especially in their family, the children are still growing and have big appetites.
If we can have this amount of food, and if Xiaoxiao goes to the farm, more food can be sent to us by the end of the year.
There will be absolutely no problem having two elderly people living at home at that time.
Fan Xiuying was reluctant to give up this opportunity.
"Okay, then you better be careful, or I'll let your brother secretly follow you and protect you. If anything happens, you can run away quickly. We'd rather not have the money than get ourselves involved."
Fan Xiuying was still worried.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was happy, "Okay then, let Big Brother follow behind secretly."
My eldest brother is a careless person and he is not that careful.
It would be easy for me to fool my elder brother.
When Fan Xiuying saw her daughter agreed, she felt relieved. Although her son was not a very reliable person, his love for his sister had never changed.
Jiang Lei runs fast, and that boy is very cunning.
"What are you two doing? The mother and daughter are still whispering in the kitchen. Come in quickly."
Jiang Laoshi was talking outside. As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he heard the mother and daughter talking secretly inside. He was shocked to hear that they were going to buy food on the black market.
Jiang Laoshi has been an honest man who abides by the law all his life. He didn't even dare to take a piece of cloth from the factory. He felt a little scared when he heard this.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Fan Xiuying went out.
Jiang Laoshi waited for his daughter to come in, then grabbed Fan Xiuying.
"Why are you as unreliable as my daughter? The black market is where we go!"
Fan Xiuying glared, "Okay, stop glaring at me here, go in and take a look yourself, the cabinet is full of food, but it's all your daughter's fault today. It's happened the first time, what are you afraid of! At most we can be more careful the second time. With this amount of food, we will never go to the black market again, isn't it?"
Fan Xiuying was mainly excited by the grain and suddenly felt like a rich landlord.
