Chapter 31: Food Distribution (2/2)



"Wake up! I'll get up right away." Beef noodles are her favorite, and her best friend understands her.

By the time Lin Qingmei finished washing up, Lin Qinglan and Lin Zheng had already started eating noodles with big bowls.

"Second sister, you're up, come over and eat some noodles! The noodles my eldest sister makes are delicious." Lin Zheng's mouth was stuffed with noodles and his words were unclear.

"Lin Zheng, I've told you many times to swallow your food before talking." Lin Qinglan really couldn't stand Lin Zheng's bad habits. She had corrected him several times, but this bad boy Lin Zheng always made the same mistake again.

"Okay, big sister." Lin Zheng was frightened and quickly swallowed the noodles in his mouth.

"Lan Zi, you are really becoming more and more like an elder sister. Why don't you send your silly brother to school now? It's not a good thing for him to stay at home doing nothing all day." Lin Qingmei gave Lin Qinglan a thumbs up. She is really a qualified elder sister now.

"Lin Qingmei, stop shirking your responsibilities. Lin Zheng is also your brother, and you have to take care of his affairs. I'll leave it to you to send him to school."

Lin Qingmei shrugged helplessly. "Okay! It's just sending a child to school. It's simple." Linjiawan has its own primary school, just behind the brigade headquarters. "Lin Zheng is not yet seven years old today, so he can just join the preschool class. When I finish my own work, I will go to find the principal of the primary school."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you last night that your high school classmate He Xufeng came yesterday, and he seemed to recognize that I was a fake." Lin Qinglan didn't expect that someone would recognize that she was not Lin Qingmei herself. She acted so similarly, how did he recognize her?

"That person is so cunning, isn't it normal for him to recognize you? Even if you act like me, it's not me. It's okay as long as you are not recognized by the people in the village. I will talk to He Xufeng."

"Could he like you? I didn't expect you to have a pursuer so soon." Lin Qinglan smiled ambiguously, but Lin Qingmei rolled her eyes at her.

"Don't joke around, there's nothing wrong between him and me. I just want to live a good life now, so I don't have the energy to talk about love." Lin Qingmei said while eating noodles.

After dinner, Lin Qingmei took Lin Zheng to the elementary school. Lin Zheng jumped and skipped along the way, full of anticipation for going to school.

After arriving at the school, Lin Qingmei found the principal and explained her purpose. The principal looked at Lin Zheng and agreed with a smile.

As soon as Lin Qingmei returned to the brigade headquarters, she saw that the grain drying ground in front of the brigade headquarters was full of people.

"Qingmei, come here quickly to keep the accounts. The food will be distributed soon." The team leader waved to Lin Qingmei who was walking over and pointed to the seat next to her and asked her to sit down quickly.

After a while, the brigade secretary also arrived, and today's grain distribution officially began.

"Fellow villagers, last night we brought back several tons of grain and a pig. I plan to sell the pork in the village at 8 yuan per pound, no tickets are needed. There are two kinds of grain in the village, one is corn kernels and the other is rice. You don't have to spend money on the grain, the money is paid by the brigade. Now I declare that the grain distribution has officially begun. The grain distribution goes over here, and the pork purchase goes over here."

Both sides of the threshing ground were lined with people, and the grain was distributed according to population: strong laborers received 40 catties each, women and the elderly received 30 catties, and children received 25 catties.

Lin Qingmei was typing away on an abacus in her hands, quickly calculating in her mind the amount of grain each household would need to receive.

The amount of food in the warehouse was getting less and less. After everyone had received their food, the entire warehouse was empty. Only a few dozen pounds of corn kernels were left alone in the corner.

"Qingmei, there are 90 kilograms of food in this sack. It's food for you three siblings. I have taken the food out for you in advance." The team leader had people divide Lin Qingmei's food before distributing the food because he was worried that there would be no food left after the distribution.

"Captain, thank you." Lin Qingmei is no longer short of food. Although she did not buy food in Gangcheng this time, she collected a lot of food from the foreigners' villas.
