Jiang Baige and the old couple of the Zhao family went into the house quietly, just like underground party members meeting.
After entering the main room, Uncle Zhao said, "Boss, go and close the door."
The eldest son of the Zhao family looked at the things his parents brought in, and there was a girl following behind them.
He was a little stunned at this time. This girl could really get food for them.
After hearing what his father said, he quickly went to close the door.
The second child asked in surprise: "Dad, this is what was sent to us."
Uncle Zhao put the backpack on the ground and didn't answer his son.
Looking at Jiang Baige expectantly, "Girl, are these all for us?"
Jiang Baige nodded, "Yes, 20 kilograms of refined rice, 20 kilograms of millet, and 20 kilograms of flour."
She wasn't sure if they wanted it or not, so she asked, "Uncle, do you want all of these?"
Uncle Zhao said happily, "Great, I want it! Of course."
Jiang Baige breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the old lady who was still holding the cardboard box and looking at the food in the backpack.
He smiled and said, "Auntie, give me the cardboard box!"
She was afraid that the old lady didn't know what was inside, and what if she put too much weight in it and the eggs broke.
The old lady reacted and handed the cardboard box to Jiang Baige.
Seeing the meat and pork fat in his hand, he asked again.
"Daughter, this meat?"
Jiang Baige said, "I thought you might need these, so I brought some here. You can keep as many as you want. I'll take away the rest."
She speaks frankly and doesn't want to add any burden to others.
When the eldest son of the Zhao family came back, he closed the door of the main room.
The wall of their house is too low. If someone passes by outside, they can see into the house at a glance.
What they did tonight must not be seen by others.
Seeing so much meat, Boss Zhao excitedly said, "Yes! There's only so much here, and it will be gone in one meal."
Uncle Zhao heard his son speaking a little too loudly and wanted to slap him twice to make him speak more quietly.
He scolded her in a low voice, "You're speaking so loudly, do you want the neighbors to hear you?"
The old lady also glared at her eldest son. Her son was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but still not stable at all.
When Boss Zhao received the look from his parents, he quickly shut up.
The second son of the Zhao family doesn't have much to do normally, but now he is asking questions here and there, his mind is all on that piece of meat.
Jiang Baige was a little embarrassed. If someone scolded her son, it might have something to do with her too!
She quickly put the carton on the ground and opened it to show them.
Uncle Zhao's family of four had no idea what was inside, so they all leaned over to take a look.
Uncle Zhao asked in disbelief, "These are eggs. How many are there?"
Jiang Baige replied, "Here are fifty eggs. It's summer now, so I didn't dare take more. It would be a shame if I couldn't finish them and they went bad."
When the old lady saw such big eggs, she handed the meat and lard in her hand to her little son, and then took out two eggs from the carton to look at them.
He said happily: "This is the first time I have seen such a big egg."
The chickens their family used to raise had no food to feed them, and the eggs they laid were only as big as this one each.
Jiang Baige said, "These eggs are just this size, all the same."
The old lady said to her, "My dear, you don't know that we haven't seen any eggs in six months since the hen at home drowned."
Then he asked, "Daughter, don't these require tickets?"
She was worried that other girls would work so hard to send so many things over, and what would happen if someone wanted tickets and her family didn't have any?
Jiang Baige responded, "Well, don't worry! We don't need any tickets."
Hearing her words, the father and his two sons in the room all breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady happily put the eggs back into the carton and pulled Jiang Baige over to sit.
Smiling, he said, "I see you've forgotten. You must be tired after coming all this way here! Come and sit down."
Jiang Baige said, "No need. Just weigh the food. I have to go back quickly."
Zhao Lao Er said, "Okay, I'll go get the scale."
As he spoke, he carried the meat into the house to get a scale.
Uncle Zhao also nodded and said, "It's better to go home early. It's not safe for a girl like you to be outside so late at night."
"Well."
Jiang Baige saw that he wanted to say something else, maybe even about to send her back.
She hurriedly said, "Someone is waiting for me at the village entrance, so I want to go back quickly."
After hearing what she said, Uncle Zhao stopped what he wanted to say. He originally wanted to send her back, but since that was the case, he would weigh the girl faster so that the girl could go back earlier.
Jiang Baige knows all the grain and meat.
Uncle Zhao said it was just right, and after collecting the money, she carried the basket and prepared to leave.
Uncle Zhao sent her to the door and then went back into the house.
Jiang Baige sold one pound of rice at the supply and marketing cooperative's price, which was 17 cents per pound, so twenty pounds only cost three yuan and four cents.
Millet costs 0.2 yuan per pound and sells for four yuan. The same goes for flour.
Pork and pork fat are the same price, one yuan and seventy cents per pound, and it was sold for twenty-six yuan and forty cents.
Fifty eggs cost only three yuan, but in the end I only sold them for thirty-six yuan and eighty cents.
Jiang Baige felt a little disappointed when she collected the money. When she sold it to Yang Wuye, she would get tens of thousands of dollars at a time. But when she sold it to an acquaintance, the price was just a drizzle. Otherwise, she wouldn't sell it so cheaply to someone she knew.
Jiang Baige put the money into the space, walked to a place where there was no one, and then stopped to look at the surrounding situation.
Observing that everything was quiet, she headed down to the foot of the mountain.
In the morning, seeing those people walking towards this side, she thought her guess should be correct.
She walked this distance and soon arrived outside the cowshed.
At this time, the cowshed was pitch black, and the only sound was the sound of cows chewing grass in one of the cowsheds.
It was very quiet around, and I didn't know if the people in the cowshed were asleep.
She waited outside for a while, wanting to hear what was going on inside.
She thought since she was here, she should leave some rice for them.
She took out a bag of rice and wanted to put it at the door and leave.
Suddenly I heard someone talking inside, and a little boy was crying.
"Mom, I'm hungry. I'm so hungry. I need to eat."
A woman said, "Be good, you won't be hungry when you sleep. Tomorrow morning, I'll make you some vegetable soup, okay?"
The child was still mumbling, "I'm hungry. I'm so hungry that I can't sleep."
Another man in the room said weakly, "If you're hungry, why don't you drink some water? Once you're full, you won't be hungry anymore."
As they were talking, another child started crying.
"But I've already drunk it, and I'm still very hungry."
After she finished speaking, she began to sob and there seemed to be a sighing sound.
