After leaving the tailor shop, I walked towards the grain station. When I arrived at the grain station, I saw that it was not the captain's turn yet, so I ran to the grain registration place to see how the grain was paid.
I saw a person in charge of registration at the grain station walked to a bag of grain and untied the rope. He grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it. Then he walked to another bag and untied the rope to look at the rice inside.
After looking at the food in more than a dozen bags, I saw him shaking his head. Seeing this, he thought to himself, could it be that the food in this brigade was not up to standard?
As a result, before I could think too much, I saw the person in charge of delivering food from the brigade secretly stuffing two packs of cigarettes into the pocket of the person in charge of the food station. If I hadn't been keeping an eye on them, I wouldn't have noticed.
The person in charge of the grain station touched his pocket, then coughed and said, "First-class grain from the Red Star Production Brigade."
Seeing this scene, I was speechless. I didn't expect that such an operation could be done. It seemed that I wanted to talk to the captain about this situation. Since I was in the Shengli Production Brigade, I couldn't just sit back and ignore it.
"Uncle, come here. I have something to ask you."
"Xiaoxiao, it will be our team's turn to hand over the food soon. If things are not urgent, we can wait until the food is handed over."
"Uncle, it's about handing over food. Come here quickly, or it will be too late."
"Xiaoxiao, please tell me what happened."
"Uncle, I just saw the person in charge of the grain station in front shaking his head after looking at the grain of the Red Star Production Brigade. But after the captain of the Red Star Production Brigade secretly stuffed two packs of cigarettes into him, the grain of the Red Star Brigade was rated first. Waiting for food."
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"Uncle, I promise that what I said is what I just saw, that's why I came to you anxiously to talk about it."
"Hey, it's useless even if I know it now. It's our team's turn soon. Even if we have time to buy it, we still don't have tickets."
"Uncle, look what's in my bag."
After hearing this, the captain stretched his head and looked into the bag, and then said with surprise and excitement: "Why do you have this?"
"Hehe... I went to my uncle's house in the city some time ago, and he gave me some tickets when I came back. When I was sorting it out yesterday, I found that there were two cigarette tickets inside, and the tickets were about to expire, so today Just come to the county and use them.”
"Xiaoxiao, I'm so shameless about borrowing two packs of cigarettes from you this time. When I get back, I'll try to get a cigarette ticket and buy them back to you."
"Uncle, I am also a member of the team now, and I am very happy to be able to help the team. You can just take this cigarette and use it without returning it. I don't smoke."
"Okay, you're welcome then, but you won't get this cigarette for free. I will discuss with the team to give you a reward when we get back."
"Thank you, uncle. Take these three packs of cigarettes quickly."
"Two packs are enough, why are you taking three packs?"
"Previously, the Red Star Production Brigade sent two packs. Just in case, we sent one more pack."
"Okay, I'll go there first."
After more than an hour, I heard from the registration office: First-class rations from the Victory Production Brigade, and I knew that those three packs of cigarettes had worked.
It was already after five o'clock in the evening when I got home. This time I went to the county town entirely on foot. Although I was not tired because of my martial arts training, my feet were worn out by stones because I was wearing handmade cloth shoes for a long time. I had several blisters and it was really painful.
I endured the pain and used a needle to pop the blisters and then applied medicine to feel better. I originally wanted to give food to the masters, but now I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’d better lie down on the kang and have a good rest, and try to be able to walk normally tomorrow.
