"This is the money from selling pork. It's 120 yuan in total. Count it and see if it's enough." The team leader put the money in his hand on the table. The pig that Lin Qingmei brought had been slaughtered, and even the pig head and bones weighed no more than 150 kilograms.
Originally, the pig could not be sold for that much money, but in order to ensure that Lin Qingmei would not suffer a loss, the team leader bought the bones and pig head as if they were pork.
"That's enough. Now that you have some free time, let's settle the bill for buying food. We bought 10,000 catties of rice and 10,000 catties of corn kernels this time. The rice is 3 yuan per catty, and the corn kernels are 1 yuan per catty, so the total is 4,000 yuan.
"I, Mr. Lin Erye, Mr. Lin Sanye and I moved a total of 1,700 kilograms of food, including 700 kilograms of rice and 1,000 kilograms of corn kernels, which was worth 310 yuan in total. You gave me 2,000 yuan at the time, and you still owe Mr. Lin Erye and his men 1,690 yuan."
It's not that Lin Qingmei is in a hurry to collect the debt. The money was advanced by the two old men. This is their retirement money!
"How much money is left in our brigade's account? Is it enough to pay off the debt?" The brigade leader actually didn't expect to get so much food this time, otherwise he wouldn't have only given Lin Qingmei 2,000 yuan.
"It's enough. We still have 2,500 yuan in the account, but there is not much left after paying for the food." Lin Qingmei thought that Linjia Bay was quite wealthy when she saw so much money in the account. She didn't expect that they would have to buy food!
Linjiawan had a large population and little land, so the food grown was not enough to eat. Every year, more than half of the money in the account was spent on buying food, and the money in the brigade was all earned from selling fish.
"No, we bought so much food this time, it's enough for the villagers to eat for most of the year. Everyone is suffering in this era. Those places with a lot of fields work hard every year and still can't have enough to eat. We must learn to be content." The team leader patted Lin Qingmei on the shoulder. This girl had never suffered much and didn't understand the hardships of life.
The people of Linjiawan could be considered to have a good life, at least they had enough food and drink. In those days, being well fed and clothed was a very good life.
Lin Qingmei nodded, not quite understanding. It seemed that she was too idealistic.
Northeast Harbin
Yao Yanfang's life has been unlucky since she left the family compound. She originally wanted to find a man with better conditions to continue living with her, but she never found a suitable one.
Because she didn't want to marry the man introduced by her sister-in-law, she was kicked out of her family some time ago. Now she lives in the dormitory of the hospital.
When colleagues in the hospital found out that she had abandoned her two children, they all tacitly stayed away from her. A person who could abandon her children could not be a single person.
Yao Yanfang couldn't understand how she ended up like this. Just a month ago, she was the military wife that everyone in the family compound envied.
Now everyone in the hospital was laughing at her and scolding her for being heartless. This made her even more determined to find another man. She wanted to prove to everyone that she had done nothing wrong.
Yao Yanfang was indeed very beautiful when she was young, otherwise Lin Jianshe would not have insisted on marrying her despite his father's opposition.
She hasn't suffered much over the years, and she has maintained herself quite well. She looks like a 30-year-old in her 40s.
That day, when she was going to the toilet, she just heard a few young nurses chatting.
"Have you heard? A big shot was admitted to our hospital the other day, and even our dean came to the ward to see him in person."
