"Are you going to pay for the food or use your future work points to offset it?"
Xu Dawei brought the two of them to the warehouse. The custodian Xu Shouliang looked at the two frail female educated youth in front of him and asked them in a harsh tone.
Li Xiyue said: "I buy it with money."
She was not short of money or food. She came here to collect food just to cover up her tracks. There was no need to use work points to offset it. She didn't even know how many work points she could earn.
Huang Xinrui also said to buy it with money.
Xu Shouliang, who had been wearing a sour face, finally softened his expression. "There are still three months until the summer harvest. Each person is entitled to 28 kilograms of grain per month, 30% fine grain and 70% coarse grain. Should we receive it all at once or in monthly installments?"
In the city, each person gets 30 kilograms of grain per month, but in the countryside, they get 2 kilograms less.
"Get them all." Li Xiyue said.
Huang Xinrui hesitated and said, "Yueyue, how about taking it monthly?"
"What's the matter?" Li Xiyue asked.
Huang Xinrui whispered, "What if it's stolen?"
After all, you don't live alone in a house, so you are likely to be robbed.
Li Xiyue also thought it made sense after hearing her say that, "Then let's pay it monthly."
She trusts Huang Xinrui, but not Zhao Xiaoli.
Xu Shouliang weighed out the grain and pointed to the grain receipt book on the table, "Sign here."
Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui picked up the pen and wrote their names.
Xu Shouliang took a look at the handwriting of the two people and thought to himself, they have beautiful handwriting.
But what good would that do? Without the strength to do so, they would be of no use at all and would only hinder the production team.
"Yueyue, do you feel that everyone seems to dislike us?" Huang Xinrui expressed her feelings as she left the warehouse with the food.
Li Xiyue nodded, "Indeed."
They met many people along the way. They greeted them politely, but no one paid any attention to them. Some people even gave them cold looks, as if they were enemies, and they were extremely disgusted.
"Why? We didn't do anything." Huang Xinrui was a little frustrated.
She originally thought going to the countryside was pretty good, but now she was being excluded by the villagers and she felt very uncomfortable.
Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Maybe it's none of our business. Don't worry. As long as we work hard, everyone will accept us."
Huang Xinrui nodded. "Is there anything else you need? I want a backpack, a shoe rack, and a washbasin rack."
"I want one too. Let's go to the village and ask if there are any carpenters or weavers." Li Xiyue said.
However, the two of them asked several people, but no one paid any attention to them. Just when they were feeling awkward, Grandma Yu arrived.
"Yueyue, where are you going?" Grandma Yu was very happy to see Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue said: "I plan to exchange some things with the villagers, but..."
"It's okay, I'll take you there." Grandma Yu patted her hands to comfort her.
Grandma Yu took the two of them to find the wicker craftsman Xu Dongzhu.
A bamboo backpack costs 20 cents each, and a rectangular vegetable basket costs 10 cents each.
They each bought one, spending thirty cents.
He then found carpenter Xu Linmu and spent fifty cents to buy a washbasin rack and three cents to buy a shoe rack.
Seeing that there were ready-made bathtubs for one dollar each, they bought some.
Li Xiyue was fine, as she had taken a shower in the space, but Huang Xinrui hadn't taken a shower for two days on the train, and she didn't take a shower last night, so her body was a little itchy, so she had to take a hot shower at night.
The two of them took the backpack and the basket away. The carpenter's family bought a lot of things, so Xu Linmu promised to deliver them to the educated youth site later.
"Yueyue, come to my house for lunch. I asked my daughter-in-law to go to the commune to buy meat." Grandma Yu said, holding Li Xiyue's hand.
The old man invited her again and again, so Li Xiyue had no choice but to refuse him.
Grandma Yu was very happy and invited Huang Xinrui: "Xinrui girl, you should come with us."
Huang Xinrui didn't expect Grandma Yu to invite her, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Grandma Yu, I will bring my own food."
She knew that she was benefiting from Li Xiyue's influence, so she naturally couldn't eat for free or take advantage of him.
Grandma Yu laughed heartily: "You don't need to bring food, just bring your sweet mouth."
She left happily when they heard about it, saying she was going home to prepare a meal to entertain them.
Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui took the food and other things back to the educated youth site.
"Oh no, something happened!" At this time, some villagers in the field started shouting.
Then Xu Dawei roared, "The cow is injured, go call the captain and Uncle Six!"
Two people suddenly ran out from the field and went in different directions.
"Yueyue, it seems that the cow plowing the field is injured." Huang Xinrui pricked up her ears and listened for a while, then said to Li Xiyue.
Of course Li Xiyue heard it too. She planned to go over and take a look, so she handed the things to Huang Xinrui and said, "Please take it back to the dormitory for me. I'll see if I can help."
"What happened?" Xu Dawei asked, suppressing his anger. "How could a healthy cow have injured its hoof?"
Xu Laosan, who was working the fields, had a bitter look on his face. "I don't know who threw glass into the fields, and the cow's foot got a long gash."
Xu Laosan has been farming all his life, but this is the first time he has encountered such bad luck.
"Which short-lived bastard did this? Stand up!" Xu Dawei cursed at everyone with gritted teeth.
Damn it, isn’t this going to kill him?
No one present dared to speak. They all lowered their heads, not even daring to meet his murderous gaze.
Xu Laosan said with a stiff upper lip, "Deputy Captain, don't worry about who threw the glass now, we have to save the cow first."
Their production team only has two oxen for working, and one is pregnant and can't go to the fields. If something happens to this one, what will happen to all the land?
"What else are you saying? Hurry up and drive the cows up!" Xu Dawei said anxiously.
At his command, everyone worked together to push the cow onto the ridge of the field.
