    ?

    What kind of red envelope rain, reward hail, ticket snow, it's all directed at me!  I can stand it!

    "That's not enough for the whole village to eat."

    "It will fade away slowly, don't worry. Nothing is as important as food."

    The old lady is Dinghaishenzhen, and the three of her words have a score, not because they are incompetent, but because they are used to listening to arrangements.  If there is dependence, there will always be no growth.

    The old lady was also impatient and wanted to train the next generation, but there was no suitable candidate.  It would be appropriate to be a fool, but this kid only wants to be a soldier.  Hongmei is also fine, but she is really not suitable.  But this child is affectionate and can help everyone behind.

    "Maocai, let Hongmei come over later."

    Zhang Hongmei knew that it was related to today's incident when Liu Maocai told her that the old lady called her.

    "Tai Nai, did you call me?"

    "Well, do you know what happened today?"

    "Understood, I can get salt, alkali, and sugar, but I can't help it."

    "If you don't eat sugar, you can't die. If you can get salt, you will be hit."

    "But the price is twice as expensive as that of the supply and marketing cooperative." If it is said to be cheaper, some people will doubt it.

    "It's okay. One thousand catties of salt, one hundred catties of soda noodles."

    "Zhong, I will go to the city tomorrow. By the way, Zhang Xingguo has transferred the ownership of the house in the city to me."

    "Well, he doesn't lack these, and you will have a place to live when you go to school in the future."

    "How do I bring it back?"

    "You just leave it at your house, and I'll ask your third master to find a car to bring it back."

    "Do you want food? Last time I told me that there are sticks but no threshing."

    "Yes, even five thousand catties."

    "Too milk, your appetite is too big, I don't know if you can give it to me?"

    "It's okay, you are the head of the house, as long as it doesn't exceed two yuan. This year is even more difficult than last year. Didn't you see that it hasn't snowed until now? Even sweet potatoes probably won't be harvested this year."

    Zhang Hongmei looked at the old lady in horror, she is really a mature person.

    "Soybeans are also available, how much can we accept?"

    "What else? Let's talk together."

    "Peanuts and wheat are not threshed. I saw it last time. I don't know if there are any more?"

    "As long as it is food, I have 10,000 yuan here, and I will give it to you later."

    "My God, so much money?"

    "There are still some in the brigade. I'll ask Chang Lin to bring them over at night, and we'll gather them together after dinner. You can buy them with money. But you can't show them, it's not good for you."

    "I understand, and I don't want to be in the limelight. I'll be content with what makes everyone stutter."

    "Go ahead and let the three of them come over right away. Only the two of us know about this matter. Let it come out of your mouth and into my ear."

    Zhang Hongmei nodded and went out.

    The three of them were all in the brigade, and they didn't stay for a while until the old lady called again.

    Zhang Hongmei didn't know what the old lady told them, but when Liu Changlin came back, she rang the big bell.

    Everyone gathered in the cafeteria.  We all know that we didn't buy salt and sugar.  You can skip sugar, but if you don¡¯t eat salt, you will have no energy, and you will get sick if you love it.

    Wang Hongxi "Everyone knows that there has been no snow until now, and it is probably another year of drought. Last year we had sweet potatoes on top of them. What will we do this year? If the drought does not even grow sweet potatoes, how will we live?"

    Everyone actually understands it in their hearts, but they don't think about it until they say it out, pretending not to know, but now that Wang Hongxi has made it clear, they have to think about it.

    "We discussed with the mistress. There is still 6,000 yuan in the village. The mistress will deposit 10,000 yuan first, which is 20 yuan per person. Let's store up the grain first.

    Of course, you may have heard how expensive food is now, and you can¡¯t buy it with money.  This is the way Uncle San found.

    This is mandatory and non-negotiable.  If anyone doesn't hand over, they will be taken out of Liujiatun.  "

    There was no sound below, Liujiatun had never forced everyone, this was the first time.

    Liu Maocai stood up, "All households should go home now to discuss whether to pay or leave, and ring the bell to collect the money tonight."

    Zhang Hongmei also left with the crowd, and the cooks in the cafeteria also went back. Only Li Cuihua, Wang Hongxi's family, Erya, and Zhang Hongmei stayed behind.

    It's not a joke for the small two hundred people to eat.

    It was after dinner time that Liu Changlin rang the big bell.

    From old to young, everyone except those paralyzed on the kang appeared.  Some parents had red eyes, but no one came out to object.

    theLiu Maocai recorded that Liu Changlin counted the money, and Wang Hongxi was responsible for having them press their fingerprints.

    Some people put out the big unity, and some people put out five yuan, one yuan.  There are also people who have paid a quarter of a cent.

    Twenty for each of one hundred and seventy-three people is three thousand four hundred and sixty.  There is only one bundle for the Great Unity, two bundles for five yuan, eight bundles for one yuan, and fifty cents, two cents, one cent, and five cents for the rest.

    Liu Changlin sorted everything out.  Put it in a snakeskin bag.

    At this time, everyone was eating. Although it was a rare sweet Lantern Festival, they didn't taste the taste. The reality was too painful.

    No one left after the meal, even the delivery person came back.

    Liu Maocai looked at everyone helplessly, "Our village will pay back the 10,000 mistress paid in advance, that is, if the mistress is gone, it will be returned to the uncle. If the mistress is gone, the elder brother will still be there. In short, this money cannot be wasted.

    The mistress said that if there is no drought this year, the 10,000 yuan of grain will belong to their family, and they will not embarrass everyone.  "

    "Then what's the deal? Let us get everything that can't be cheap. Even if there is no drought, I am willing to share the high-priced grain." Dashan's father was the first to stand up.

    The heads of five families came out one after another, and the remaining dozen or so families finally agreed.  Conscience is lost in a predicament, but this is a rope that can pull you out of the predicament, and it depends on whether you can grasp it.

    In the evening Liu Aimin came to look for Zhang Hongmei.

    "Hongmei, I'll go to the city with you tomorrow. Both of us will carry half of the money. Remember to wrap it in a quilt and put it in a snakeskin bag."

    "Understood, uncle, I don't know how to pack. Help me tomorrow morning."

    "Zhong, go to sleep, I can only send you to the third uncle in the city, nothing else can help you."

    Zhang Hongmei was in a daze in the space, never seeing such a cohesive village.  Certainly not every family can come up with so much money, but no one complains.

    Just because of this, I took the risk and admitted it.

    The pricing of food is a problem. If it is too high, there will not be much food, and if it is too low, it is unrealistic.  This matter is really difficult to handle.

    Liu Aimin came before five o'clock the next day, and Zhang Hongmei knew that he was not a simple person when he watched him skillfully pack his backpack.

    Liu Maocai has already driven an ox cart over, and he has to take the first bus in the morning, which departs from the countryside today and from the city tomorrow.

    Liu Maocai knew in his heart that Zhang Hongmei must be helpful in following the past, but he would never say it in his life.  Since the mistress confessed that she only watched but didn't talk, she knew it in her heart and she was hit.

    With the flashlight on, the bullock cart was still not as fast as in the daytime, but there was no way, Zhang Hongmei actually wanted to walk over.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
