"The grain is fine; it's a reward. But this meat ration coupon... it must have been sent by Uncle Gu through the town mayor."
“I heard from the villagers that a few days ago, a matchmaker brought an old man to see Grandma Gu. Someone recognized the old man and said he was a gatekeeper for the town government. He said he had met Uncle Gu before, and that Uncle Gu was very familiar with the town mayor. He wanted to become related to Grandma Gu through marriage. The villagers are still gossiping about it, wondering how Uncle Gu got the connection with the town mayor!”
"Uncle Gu really is... he still thinks about us even after he's gone!"
"..."
Yu Mingxiang: "!!!"
She was driven crazy by the noise of the three children, especially their suggestive glances, which gave her a real headache.
"What are you all thinking about? Is that the important thing right now? The important thing is that we have too much food."
Yu Mingxiang shook her head and said helplessly, "You don't even understand the principle that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind. You guys really lack social experience."
They had already received 800 jin of grain from the village, and now they received an additional 1,000 jin of grain as a reward.
When combined, that amount far exceeds the average food ration per person in the village.
Having lived two lives, past and present, Yu Mingxiang had long since mastered the intricacies of human nature, so...
She quickly made a decision to divide the thousand catties of reward grain into three portions.
One copy was given to the village, one copy was sent to the educated youth settlement, and the remaining copy was kept for himself.
For the village's share, Yu Mingxiang borrowed a small cart and pushed it to the brigade headquarters, letting the village chief distribute it. For the share at the educated youth settlement, Yu Mingxiang and her son personally delivered it.
All the educated youth were included, including Wang He, who had previously gone to her house to spread rumors. However, when it came to Wu Xiangju, Yu Mingxiang stopped scooping out the grain.
“The other educated youth are all young people, so eating more will help them grow taller.”
She looked at Wu Xiangju, who was holding up a cloth bag, and said with a smile, "Wu, you're getting old, you shouldn't be competing with a bunch of young people for food, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiangju exclaimed: "!!!"
The hand supporting the cloth bag froze.
That bitch Yu Mingxiang actually dared to make a veiled insult about her age?
She's the same age as her, just not as pretty and looks older!
Other educated youths immediately chimed in to support this.
"Aunt Wu definitely won't try to take our food!"
"Thank you, Dr. Yu. If I eat a few more hearty meals, I might even grow taller!"
"..."
They were all sent-down youth, and when they learned that Yu Mingxiang had received a thousand catties of grain as a reward for her meritorious report, they were initially extremely envious, but now...
They're not envious anymore!
Dr. Yu was generous and shared his reward food with them.
Each of them received about ten kilograms of grain, enough to last for more than ten days. If one person was given less, they would receive even more. How could they not be happy?
Wu Xiangju: "!!
His face turned pale and then red from being bullied, and finally he stormed off with a cloth bag rolled up in his puffs.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
He snorted coldly as he watched her leave.
Who can be hermaphroditic?
Let her talk behind her back; if she doesn't retaliate to her face, she'll consider herself defeated!
After Yu Mingxiang finished distributing the grain at the educated youth settlement, she heard on her way back that something had happened to some of the grain in the brigade.
It turned out to be Zhao Tiezhu's family. They heard that she had donated some of the reward grain to the village, and before the old village chief could distribute the grain, they went to the brigade headquarters to make a scene.
“The grain in the village belongs to the village. We dare not object to the old village chief distributing it according to the work done. But the grain donated to the village by others does not belong to the village.”
When Yu Mingxiang arrived at the brigade headquarters, Li Guihua was shouting anxiously, her face flushed red, "Since you're not from the village, why are you giving it all to us? Our family of three only received less than 500 jin of grain. Do you really want to see us starve to death?"
