Chapter 307: Warm Aunt's Home 1
"Eat slowly, there's no rush. We just had our fill, how can we eat more?" Zhong Tongxin pushed the steamed buns and eggs over again.
Yi Ke quickly ate a steamed bun, two fried dough sticks, an egg and porridge in his hand, burped, looked at Zhong Tongxin and said with a smile: "I'm too full, it's all up to my throat."
"You are full, that's not an exaggeration. I put these in the pot to warm them up and you can eat them when you are hungry in the morning. After you have digested the food, go to your cousin's bed to rest, or go talk to her. When we get back from get off work at noon, I will tell you about your studies. You got the highest score and entered the best high school in our county. How many people envy you. Your uncle went to the school to register you and said that you would only take the exam and not go to class. The principal agreed without hesitation. I will tell you the details at noon. I'm going to work."
"Okay, go ahead, Auntie."
Not long after Zhong Tongxin left, Liu Baoer and the director of the supply and marketing cooperative arrived.
After the director of the supply and marketing cooperative politely greeted Mr. Liu and Yike, he couldn't wait to check the canned fruits.
"Hey, it's not in a bamboo tube this time." The supply and marketing cooperative exclaimed in surprise when they saw that it was packed in a tin can.
"Yes, the ones packed in tins can be kept for a longer time." One can explain.
"Okay, tin cans are good. They're easy to store and can last longer. I'll open a can and try." The director of the supply and marketing cooperative opened a can, and as soon as the lid was opened, a sweet smell lingered in his nose.
Wow, it smells so good. Baoer, pick a piece for me to try. "The old man smelled it and couldn't help but want to try it too.
"Come, Grandpa, try it." Liu Baoer held back her saliva and picked a piece for her grandfather.
The director of the supply and marketing cooperative had already grabbed a piece and tasted it. After tasting it, he remembered that it was uncivilized to grab it with his hands, and went to wash his hands under the faucet embarrassedly.
"Comrade Yike, your food this time is better than last time," praised the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Because this time the fruit is picked right from the tree, so it's fresh. The last time the fruit was stored, so the taste is naturally a little worse."
“How many are here?”
"Three hundred and eighty cans."
"It's too little. Is there any more? Can you have a little more?"
"I've sent it away. There's no more. But there will be more in half a month. I can give you some more then."
"How much more, 500 cans, please?" When the director of the supply and marketing cooperative heard that he could get more, he pleaded hurriedly.
Yike looked at Liu Baoer and pondered.
The director of the supply and marketing cooperative understood immediately, and he said to Liu Baoer: "This can of food will be sold at your counter, and you will be responsible for it from now on. Liu Baoer, do you understand?" The director of the supply and marketing cooperative winked at Liu Baoer.
Liu Baoer immediately hugged Yike's arm happily, shaking it and said, "Cousin Yike, just give me more, five hundred, no, at least six hundred cans, okay?"
Yike thought that there were many more fruits this year than last year, so it would be no problem to give the supply and marketing cooperative 600 cans. "Okay, 600 cans. I promise. Stop shaking. You're making me dizzy." Yike pretended to be helpless.
"Yeah! Cousin is the best."
When the supply and marketing cooperative saw that Liu Baoer actually ordered 600 cans, they couldn't help but show their joy, "Liu Baoer, come, help me lift it, I'll carry it over."
"Okay." The director of the supply and marketing cooperative put on his backpack and pushed his bicycle away.
"Cousin Baoer, is there any benefit in selling this at your counter?" Yi Ke asked curiously.
"Of course there are benefits. Canned food sells the best, and if it sells well, your performance will be high, you will get more bonuses, and you will have priority in buying processed products. There are other benefits, but they cannot be disclosed to others, so I cannot tell you." Liu Baoer said mysteriously.
"What can't you say? Isn't it just a kickback? Even if you tell it, it won't be spread outside. It's still a secret." The old man revealed the secret.
"Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to tell my cousin Yike, it's just that my cousin is so cute and simple, why should I tell her such a complicated thing. Cousin, don't be angry, it's not that I don't want to tell you, I just-"
"Cousin, I know. How could I be angry? It's not a big deal. Are you still going to work today?"
"Oh my God, time flies so fast. I have to go to work. Cousin, if you are bored, come to the supply and marketing cooperative to talk to me. I'm leaving now." Liu Baoer rushed out the door in a hurry.
"This girl, when will she learn to be steady?"
"Grandpa, cousin Baoer is doing well. She's happy."
"That's true. Her lively personality and lack of worry are really good. You are a very insightful girl."
"My cousin is very happy because my grandfather and my aunt's whole family spoil her."
"That girl is so ungrateful. She doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings she has. She always complains about us controlling her. You are still cute and well-behaved."
Yike felt embarrassed by the praise and took out two bags of jerky from his bag of jerky, one bag was made of rabbit meat and the other was made of chicken meat. Yike put the two bags of jerky into his aunt's kitchen cabinet. Each bag weighed at least five kilograms.
Yike gave Grandpa Liu more than a pound of spicy dried tofu and peanuts, "Grandpa, this is a snack for you."
"How much does it cost for you to bring so many things every time you come? Don't bring them next time. The food at your aunt's house is pretty good. You don't have to worry about them having nothing to eat. Look at you, you have at least 10 kilograms of meat. In a rural family, you can't eat that much in several years. You should keep it for yourself and don't give it all away." "Grandpa, don't worry. We raise those rabbits and chickens in the cave. They're free."
"Silly girl, if you sell it, it's money. Just take a little next time. We just need to try it."
"Okay. Grandpa, I'm going to the post office to send some dried meat to my mother."
"Go ahead. Your mother really loves you. I heard from your aunt that she seems to have sent a lot of money and tickets. Even though she didn't support you, she doesn't know about it, so don't feel bad about it."
"Well, I know, this is all my adoptive mother's fault."
"As long as you understand it in your heart."
"Grandpa, I'm going then."
"Go ahead!"
Yike carried his backpack and walked slowly towards the post office.
Before I even reached the post office, I could see a wall painted green from afar.
As soon as I walked into the post office, I saw that the counter on the wall was still standing. There was an iron fence on the counter. The clerk in green uniform sitting inside was not the same clerk from last time, but a beautiful young lady.
The post office lobby was full of people, some sending letters, some picking up packages, some sending telegrams, and some making phone calls.
Yike completed the package delivery very smoothly this time. In addition to dried meat, she also sent dried fruits and three wild ginsengs. The wild ginsengs were hidden and mixed inside the dried fruits.
The reason why Yike sent wild ginseng was mainly because she was worried that her grandfather and father, whom she had never met, were in high positions and she didn't know whether they would be affected in this era. The three wild ginsengs could prevent accidents.
