Chapter 177: Be Loyal to the Trustee
"It's finally raining. Otherwise, the vegetables in my private plot will die." Tang Xinmei reached out to catch the water from the eaves. In the past few days, she has been fetching water to irrigate the fields every morning, but the fields are still dry.
"The public grain was delivered on time. Otherwise, it would have become damp after being stored in the warehouse for a few days and would have needed to be dried again." Chen Yan also nodded.
"After delivering the public grain, we will distribute the rice, and we will be able to eat the new rice soon." Qiao Mo had a different idea. After the new grain was distributed, they could have a few meals of rice with a clear conscience.
"Yes, we will be able to eat the new rice soon. We have been tired for half an hour, and it is time to eat something." Tang Xinmei nodded in agreement. She thought that after the new grain was distributed, they must cook a few meals of rice to reward themselves.
"Qiao Zhiqing, I heard that Kang Zhiqing and Han Zhiqing are asking you to take care of their food. Can I exchange some rice with you?" At this time, Liu Zhilin came over and asked.
"Do you want to exchange it with food stamps?"
"I don't have many food coupons with me, so I want to exchange them for money." Liu Zhilin said unhappily.
"It's definitely not a good idea to use money. They can't buy food in Donghai. I will send them rice through the post office." How could Qiao Mo sell the rice they worked so hard to earn at a low price? Wouldn't it be better to exchange it for more money on the black market?
Even though Kang Mingyuan said that they would give her their food and dividends when they left, she would never take them. Of course, she would never really send them food. She would only send them money after exchanging it for money.
"You can buy grain from the brigade and don't have to exchange it with others." Wang Jiaqi reminded that the brigade would keep a portion of mobile grain every day and sell it to villagers who were short of food, and they, the educated youth, also enjoyed the same treatment.
"Is it okay?" Liu Zhilin looked at Wang Jiaqi, then at his cousin. He was a little confused. Since he could buy food from the brigade, why did his sister ask him to come to Qiao Mo to exchange food?
"Of course, private trading of grain is not allowed. You can buy more from the team." Chen Chen said lightly. She was worried that Liu Ruoling was going to cause trouble again.
"I just thought it was too uneconomical for Qiao Mo to send food from the post office, so it would be better to exchange some for my brother. This way it would be convenient for both of us." Liu Ruoling explained when she saw that everyone was looking at her differently.
"They need to eat, so they have to mail it no matter how uneconomical it is." Qiao Mo said lightly.
"They will have food supplies after they return to Tang, so you don't need to send it to them." Liu Ruoling said in a sharp voice.
"No matter whether they have food supply or not, I will send it if they tell me to." Qiao Mo said calmly. The food supply in the city is not enough to fill people up, and this is rice, a rare fine grain. No one would complain about it being too much.
"There's nothing wrong with being silent. Being loyal to the people who trust you is the most basic quality and upbringing of a human being," Tang Xinmei echoed.
"Momo, you don't actually have to mail the food. You can take the rice to the grain station and exchange it for food coupons and money, and then mail it back. That's convenient and economical." Chen Yi reminded.
"This way, with food coupons and money, they can buy food in Donghai." Qiao Mo patted his thigh and said, "That's it. When the food is distributed, I will go to the grain station to exchange it."
